Anyway, I need this to be more angsty and crap, so I guess this chapter or the next one will be kinda sad.
But not much though! Sadness is so... *Sniff* SAD! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Now, I'm so terribly sad that Kisame, you need to do the disclaimer, alright?
Kisame- *Sigh* Alright... Lin-chan does not, and probably never will, own Naruto or Naruto Shippuden. What does Shippuden mean anyway?
I think it has something to do with a ship goin' crap. Anyway, on with the story!
Shikamaru- Troublesome...
Oh, shut up, will ya?
IN A FOREST SOMEWHERE 6 MILES FROM THE SOUND BORDERLINE
SHIKAMARU'S POV
...What did he just say? D-did he just ask me to join the Akatsuki? Oh, this is so troublesome... If I say yes, I get to be with Sakura, if I say no, I probably would be killed.
I think I know what I'm picking. I looked up at the leader- looking guy and I nodded lazily. The next thing I knew, I heard a squeal and turned just in time for Sakura to tackle me into a bear hug.
I wrapped my arms around her and hugged back. "I can't believe it!" Sakura squealed. I mumbled, "I bet if you told Naruto, he wouldn't believe it, either."
There was a few moments of silence, as Sakura and I stared at each other, then we burst out laughing. We forgot the leader dude was with us, and we began to do impressions of Naruto.
Sakura tried to do one, but ended up failing miserably, and looking like Lee, but saying believe it. "You look like Lee." I said, laughing quietly.
Sakura took that in for a moment, and she whispered in my ear something. Ah, so that's what she wants to do, eh? Well, let's make a complete retard out of ourselves. So troublesome...
She ran to the other side of the clearing, and put on a huge smile. "Lee!" She screamed, while running towards me in slow motion. "Gai-sensei!" I screamed back, running towards her in slow motion.
A voice stopped us dead in our tracks. "What the hell are you two doing?" The leader guy said. We both stood up straight and Sakura said, "Impressions, duhhh" Like it was the most normal thing in the world.
"Well, we have to get back to base, so to uninclude any unneccesary running, we'll teleport back to base, understood?" The leader dude commanded. Sakura and I looked at each other for a split second, and then nodded.
Then, I felt Sakura grab onto me, and teleport someone where I might not fi, but I could call home. This is going to be so troublesome...
AT THE AKATSUKI BASE
"When the hell will they get back? It's fucking boring without pinky around." Hidan yelled, his voice echoing through out the entire base.
"I do-" *POOF* "Ask them youself." Itachi said. "Hey, guys come meet the new member!" Sakura screamed.
MADARA / TOBI'S POV
New member? I wonder who it is... I could probably guess it's that Shikamaru guy that Sakura's been wanting to see.
I made my way down the stairs, as did everyone else. We all walked into the living room and sat down, most of us staring at the dude with the pineapple shaped hair.
"This is Shikamaru Nara. He will be our newest member. You will treat him like one of us. Introduce yourselves after I. I am Pein, leader of the Akatsuki." Pein told us and pineapple dude.
I bounded up first, making myslef sound like the Tobi guy I go as. Why the hell do I go as him again? "Hi, pineapple-head! Tobi is Tobi! Nice to meet Pineapple-head!"
He glared at me. He doesn't like being called pineapple-head now does he? This'll be fun... All the others introduced themselves, then left off to do whatever, leaving only Sakura, Pineapple, and I in the living room.
"Well," Sakura siad while standing up and stretching, "I'm going to take a shower. See ya later guys!" And she walked up the stairs to her room. Once I heard the click of her door I began to talk.
"So how does Pineapple-head know Sakura-chan?" I asked. He looked at me. "We were good friends in Konoha." I nodded very fast, letting myself 'become' Tobi.
"Ah, so does Pineapple-head liiike Sakura-chan?" I asked suspiciously. He muttered something along the lines of 'troublesome child' and he mumbled, "I don't know..."
Almost one second past, and I was behind him with a kunai to his neck. "You hurt in anyway, and I'll paint the walls with your blood and laugh, got it?" I whispered menacingly.
The scared look in his eyes, said yes, he did understand. I chuckled once, and straightened up and began bouncing around the room. I gave one look back at him before leaving to annoy my 'Sempai'.
"Ooh, sempai, your clay feels squishy!" I said, more like squealed, As soon as I said that Deidara came barging in his room, where I sat on his bed, messing with his clay.
"TOBI!" He screamed, and it was probably heard in Konoha.
THE HOKAGE TOWER IN KONOHA
"TOBI!" Someone screamed. "What was zat?" A tired Hokage said looking up from her desk.
She shrugged and laid her head back down mumbling, "Probably the same people from last week..."
And on that note, she fell back asleep, thinking of a sake paradise.
NEJI'S POV
Whoa, third time this week, someone has screamed that name. This Tobi person must be really annoying...
BACK AT THE AKATSUKI BASE
SAKURA'S POV
I yawned as I stepped out of my bathroom, and I stumbled to my bed, tired from everything today held. I fell onto my bed, and checked the clock.
12:08... Eight minutes past midnight... Time for bed... I crawled into my bed, and felt myself drift into the sea of unconciousness.
*SAKURA'S NIGHTMARE*
I was running. And I was running fast, while sweating and panting. Why was I running? I don't know... I just had to.
I have to get away, I have to go, NOW. Why where am I going? Why am I running? My body was moving on it's own accord...
I looked back. I saw Madara's Eternal Sharingan, and I tripped. I scrambled to get up, but I was pinned down by him.
I struggled under his hard grip, but I couldn't. I was completly drained of my chakra... "Stop!" I screamed.
He looked down at me, with sadness in his eyes. "I'm sorry Sakura, but I have to do this." He whispered.
I screamed as his katana plunged through my heart.
*END OF SAKURA'S NIGHTMARE"
I woke up feelign someone shaking me, and I shot upwards still screaming. "Sh, it's okay, it's okay." Madara whispered, trying to calm me.
I stopped screaming, and I began to cry and sob into his chest. "What's wrong with pinky?" Hidan asked. "Nothing, just go away for now, she'll be fine." Madara replied in his Tobi voice, but sounding more like he was reassuring himself.
Everyone in the Akatsuki left, shutting the door behind them, mumbling about beauty sleep. Madara pulled me close and let me cry on him.
I kept sobbing until I began to fall back into the world of unconciousness.
MADARA'S POV
When she started screaming, I had immmediatly ran to her room, after making sure my mask was off, though.
I calmed her down, and she had eventually fell back asleep. I looked over at the clock on her wall, and sighed. Thank God. I still have time to sleep.
I looked at her face and saw that she finally looked peaceful, and I smiled slightly, mask still on my face.
I squeezed her a little tighter, and I knew her nightmare had ended. She had always had nightmares, even before I killed our clan with Itachi.
I had always been the only one to calm her down, not eve mom or dad could help her. I had always wondered what her nightmares were about, but she didn't tell anyone. Ever.
And that's something you just don't bring up. I really hope Pein tells the others to not bring it up, because if they do, she'll lock herself into her room and cry.
This one looked like it really bothered her, though I won't bring it up, unless she wants to talk about it, and that there is highly unlikely.
I looked at her face one more time before falling into a light sleep.
SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE THE AKATSUKI BASE
UNKNOWN POV
Well, she has started the nightmares again. This'll be fun. I grinned maliciously and began to walk away. I stopped and wrote a quick note, and slipped it onto her side table next to her window.
Until next time, my cherry blossom.
*THE NOTE*
I'll be watching over you, cherry blossom, and I will make sure everyone of your little friends is killed.
Until next time, cherry blossom, I'll make sure those nightmares keep coming.
Love,
Orochimaru
