Thanks for all the reviews, favs and alerts! They make me really happy ^^Well, here is chapter 8, again a bit short. Please don't get angry at me *-avoids tomatoes being thrown at her-* I planned on uploading this chapter a bit later, a few days after I uploaded the last one. But anyways, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
"Is she getting better?" Pein asked to the white haired man. It was late, and most akatsuki members were presumablyu asleep. There were only some snores heard and also there was the sound of something breaking. "Kakuzu will surely get angry tomorrow" I thought. "Well?" I heard Pein ask. "I'm going to answer, idiot!" I shouted. Pein sighed and continued looking at me. "So?" He then said. "She is getting a lot quicker and stronger. Soon I'll start the next phase of the training" I explained as calmly as I could. "And hoiw long will it take? We don't have eternity for this" Pein said, angered. "Two weeks have already passed!" He shouted. "This can't be done quickly, bastard!" I said. Pein growled and looked around him for the fiftieth time in ten minutes. "I'll try and make her improve quicker, but I can't promise anything. If the idiot doesn't improve it's her own damn fault" I said as I turned around, prepared to leave the room. "I'm leaving" I said as I opened the door. "I expect news soon" I heard Pein say. "Good news" He finished saying as I went out.
I started walking through the corridors and to the garden, that now was lacking a serious amout of trees, something than angered Zetsu a lot. "That Aloe Vera can be really stupid sometimes" I muttered. Scratch that, it's more like most of the time. I sat down on a rock and looked around me. There was another chackra signature here, one that I knew very well. "What are you doing here?" I heard Sakura ask, a bit angry. "What are you doing here?" I said, asking the same thing to her. Really, I didn't feel like answering more questions, I had already been enough time with Pein asking me who knows how many idiotic questions about Sakura's stupid training. I'm… practicing" She said, after some seconds. "Really?" I said with a teasing voicxe. I couldn't believe it. She just looked around with an annoyed expression before sitting down beside me. "Pein is impatient" I said. She looked at me. "I expected that. Two months have passed after all" She said. I nodded and stayed quiet again. "How about doing a fight again now?" I then said. I wanted to be sure if I could start the next phase of the training.
She grinned as she got out one of her katanas and tried to strike me. I quickly grabbed my scythe and blockerd her attack, also managing to made a cut on her face skin, but didn't lick the blood. I wasn't supposed to kill her after all. She jumped back as soon as I did this and she lifted her hand, and quickly healed the small cut. "It would leave a mark" She explained. "Stupid" I thought as I started attacking her again. She avoided each one of my attacks by jumping backwards. This continued for some time, until she was cornered against a tree. "That's it" I said as I grinned. I ran towards her, with my scythe in my hand, lost in the fight. I didn't plan on killing her or on doing any serious damage to her. That wouldn't be the best thing to do now. She ran towards me and punched me, sending me flying backwards. I quickly got up and ran towards her and attacked her with the scythe, although all my attacks were blocked. I kicked her several seconds later and she crashed against a wall. I grinnedShe grinned, and I then noticed my error. She was now, not walking, but still on the wall. Prepared to jump at me on any moment. "Shit" I said as I saw her jump towards me, with her katana on her hands. I lifted my scythe to block the attack. The blades crushed against each other, but they didn't stop. I felt my scythe cutting her again, this time making a slightly deeper wound on her left shoulder. Her katana, on the other hand, had pierced an area just below my heart. "That hurt bastard!" I said then, as I got out of my body her katana. She laughed a bit. "I finally managed to do it" She said with a smile as she lifted her hands and started curing the wound she had just made. I didn't say anything as I felt her chakra flow along me. Once she had finished we both sat down on the grass. "So now I'll teach you how to use both katanas, once that is finished it's up to Pein to decide" Isaid. She nodded. I felt strangely calm after someone had pierced through me. "Fucking strange" I thought. I touched the place where she had punched me on earlier; it was quite bruised and also had a purplish colour. We remained silent, not knowing what to say.
I suddenly heard a high-pitched scream coming from the main hall. I got up and went towards the room, leaving Hidan back sitting on the grass. When I got to the main hall I saw that most of the akatsuki member were there, all of them with sleepy faces. "What has happened?" Kisame asked "What is happening?" He asked with a paranoid sounding voice. "What has happened?" I asked Deidara as I got near him. "Someone made a mess in the living room" He said. I looked around and noticed that it was in a very bad state. "It was like this after the small fight I had with Sasori…" I thought. As I decided that it would be best to leave the room to not rise any suspicion (Tobi was the main suspect right now and was being hold by Kakuzu). "Ack! That hurts Kakuzu-sempai!" He said with his usual childish voice as I was nearly out of the room. That was why I didn't notice the cold glare Tobi gave Kakuzu as he did this. Sweet innocence.
