"Saku! Stop worrying me like that and disappearing!" Temari yelled when Sakura walked tiredly to the large group of ninjas. Sakura was tackled by at least 7 people, which in fact included Kankuro. Sakura smiled, she always knew Kankuro loved her, he just didn't like to show it.

"We've got to hurry up on this mission and take down Akatsuki, killing every member to make sure it can't continue." Shikamaru interrupted, bringing everyone back to reality. Sakura bit her lip. She couldn't kill Itachi. And she wasn't about to let anyone do it in front of her! She had to somehow make sure they missed him...

"Did I overhear that you're trying to take down Akatsuki?" a feminine voice asked from the bushes. Everyone looked to the source. A red-headed girl with glasses emerged from
behind a tree. (A/N OMG SHE'S ARRIVED)

"My name's Karin, and I want to help you take down Akatsuki." She stated. Sasuke eyed her curiously.

"And why would you want to do that? What reason do you have that would want you to take down an evil organization?" Sasuke inquired. Karin's eyes grew wet.

"When I was young, Akatsuki took over my village. My Papa tried to stand up to them, along with the other men. Akatsuki showed no mercy and killed them all. Then when Mama ran over to Papa's body, they killed her too. I lost both my parents before my very eyes. I want to avenge them. They didn't deserve to die." Karin replied, her voice cracking. Sakura watched as a tear escaped Karin's eye and then fall to the ground. Sasuke looked at Shikamaru. Shikamaru looked around to his teammates. Everyone stared back, slowly nodding, approving the entrance of a new member. But Sakura didn't approve. She had a bad feeling about this girl.

When the sun had set, the group spilt up, some to make camp, and some to catch food. Sakura stayed behind, making a small fire beside the river they had camped by. After they had eaten and were ready to sleep, they started to plan out shifts that would rotate the people who guarded the camp while the others slept. Karin vounteered and was set to stand guard in the middle of the night. Kiba started off awake while everyone else fell quickly asleep.

Perhaps I should stay awake and watch Karin... I don't completely trust her yet... Sakura thought to herself as she lay down on her mat. Her eyelids began to droop. She snapped them open, thinking, This is going to be a LOOONNNNGGG night... She sighed as her eyes slowly closed.

"Hey, Karin, it's your turn to stand guard." A voice whispered. Sakura jolted awake.

Perfect! That loudmouth Ino can't even whisper. She woke me up just in time. Now I can keep an eye on Karin. Sakura smiled in her head. She heard Karin slowly get up and sit down at the outside of camp. Sakura stealthily leapt up, without a sound and ran behind a nearby tree. She watched as Karin looked around, as if making sure everyone was asleep. She then stood up and walked into the forest. Sakura stared after her.

Where is she going? She's supposed to be standing guard! Sakura thought frantically. She followed her, keeping at least 100 feet in between them. Sakura tensed; she felt another presence nearby. She snuck into a bush that was only about 20 feet from the red-head.

"Do they trust you?" a male voice asked in the darkness.

"Yes. They're too trustworthy with strangers. They should really know better than that." Sakura recognized Karin's voice, mean and heartless. Sakura's eyes widened. She almost gasped, but caught herself before she did.

"Good. Keep them on the wrong trail. We'll meet you after you've gotten rid of them. Go to the River 70 Kilometers from your camp. We'll be watching you from afar. And make sure no one finds out that you're a spy for Akatsuki. If anyone does, don't hesitate to kill them." The male voice said. Sakura stayed where she was, crouched in between thorns. She didn't dare move. She would wait until-

Sakura started to panic. She felt a sneeze coming on! She silently moved her hand up to her nose and scratched it. The sneeze felt closer. She held her nose, ready for what would become of her. She squeezed her eyes shut and prepared for the huge sneeze. Then, to her surprise, it went away. She thanked Kami in every way possible.

She listened to Karin's footsteps become softer and softer as she walked away. The other presence stayed where they were, as if testing Sakura. Then, when Karin was gone, they left. Sakura sighed in relief and crept toward camp as the sun slowly rised over the horizon.

TIME CHANGE

"I'm telling you! She's a spy for Akatsuki!" Sakura whispered to Sasuke. He looked back at her with amusement. Her jaw dropped. The one guy who she thought she could trust, the one who loved her unconditionally, the one who had taken away her first kiss, didn't believe her.

"Did you see those tears when we met her? Those were legit." Sasuke rolled his eyes at her.

"No they weren't! They were to get us to trust her! I saw her last night meeting with someone from Akatsuki!" Sakura protested. Sasuke just shook his head.

"I never took you as the type to be jealous, Sakura."

Izzy: Teehee. Sorry for the super long wait! I was busy with last week of school, vacation over the weekend and my Piano recitals! TT-TT forgive meeeeee.

Itachi: I will always forgive you.

Izzy: Aw. I love you too. ^^

Haru: Hey!

Izzy: Omg its my new bffl! Hey Hatsuharu!

Haru: Konichiwa -bows-

Izzy: *sigh* what a gentleman. You could learn a thing or two from him, Roy! You too, Itachi. And maybe Gaara...

Itachi: Hey, I was brought up in a way that said "Killing is the solution to everything."

Izzy: Violence is NOT the answer. It is only PART of the solution. Gosh. I thought we already established this!

Beki: Shoes are for squares!

Izzy: That's why Spongebob wears them and Patrick doesn't! Because he's a Star! =D Leave me lots of reviews! I love you, my little fans! Be patient and I will reward you all with new chapters!
