This was it. Sakura's decision had been made. She was being led toward the 'Leader'. Last night she finally knew what she was going to do.

The shadowed man glared at her with opaque eyes.

"Well Haruno Sakura, what is your decision?"

She looked down at the floor, she was betraying herself and her village…

Naruto, Kakashi…Tsunade-Shishou …

"Well?"

Feeling dead inside she looked up. "I accept."

The Leader pushed a wrapped bundle toward her. "You will be trained in our ways. You shall be apprenticed to a member."

"Who?"

"It is, as yet, undecided."

Somehow she found herself outside. The bundle still lay unwrapped by her side. The outside of the compound was a wide field, covered in thick green grass. She looked at the trees that were scattered across the expanse of field and felt a prickly sensation in her nose. There was no going back now…she had become one of the Akatsuki.

In a way, I think I'm doing the right thing…I mean back home, I would have gone mad from all the injustice…I might've lowered myself to these guys' standards and killed someone precious to me. If I get out now then I will have room to think about this…I can pull out if I wanted to…I have the skill to evade them…but the village would never take me back. Too bad. It would put them in danger if I fled back there anyways…

"Having second thoughts already?"

She didn't look up as Deidara sat beside her. "What makes you say that?"

"Your crying."

She blinked and realized silent tears were indeed streaming down her face.

-

Deidara's artist' eyes picked up every detail of her face as those tears slid down her cheeks. This girl was truly beautiful. Slim, lean build, mild curves, pretty face stunning eyes and hair that looked feather soft.

Her build was that of a shinobi, her face that of a masterpiece. He had heard of her training under one of the Sannin. Had they allowed her to stay she would have become a renound Leaf kunoichi. But now she would become a more renound S-class criminal.

Her delicate hands wiped away the tears and she said, "Why did you join?"

He snorted and stood up, "Why did you?"

Sakura nervously sat down at the counter in the kitchen. She had been told that the room she had punched a hole into was for meetings and here is where they ate.

There where three others in the room, Itachi, Kisame, and for some reason Tobi. Kisame was talking to Itachi, who was looking disinterested, and Tobi…was being Tobi.

"We will not hesitate to kill, I hope you know that."

Her head jerked up and she saw Itachi, staring into her eyes with a blank intensity.

"Don't count me out, I have killed before, I am a shinobi after all."

"Yes but you have shown regret, and that is a sign of weakness."

Her eyes blazed. Who did this asshole Uchiha think he was talking to, the girl next-door? "Just because I have emotion dose not mean I am weak."

He tilted his head to the side. Kisame was watching them with interest while Tobi had stopped his ADD escapades to watch too.

"But it does mean you would hesitate, we cannot have that now can we?"

Sakura had had it with the Uchiha brats. First Sasuke now him. She stood up and the stool clattered to the ground, her face was shining with anger. "If you think I have hesitation problems, I wont hesitate to call you out on it!"

For a moment his ebony eyes flashed red as they became the feared Sharingan. He moved so fast she didn't see it but one second she was standing, ready to pound the smugness out of him, and the next she was pinned to the wall. His hand was on her throat, and his knee pinned her thigh to the wall.

His eyes blazed and he moved closer.

"I wouldn't advise it."

She let out a strangled gasp as his hips crushed hers against the wall. What…the hell?

Then he was gone.

Kisame looked at her smugly. "Don't take on Itachi, girly, he can fuck your mind like you wouldn't believe."

She ignored him and rubbed her neck. There would be a bruise there, to match the one on her thigh. Kisame laughed in a raspy voice, and Tobi scurried out of the room. Sakura stalked out after him.

"What is it Itachi?"

The leader sat by his desk. He would be departing this very evening and assigning the girl's trainer.

"I will take on the new girl as my apprentice."

The leader cocked his head to the side and looked at him.

"Why do you say this?"

Itachi was expressionless behind the high collar of his cloak. "She will have second thoughts…I can get inside her head and make her completely loyal."

There was a pause.

"Very well, I'll leave her to you, you have two weeks to train her for a mission."

Itachi nodded and departed without a word. I like a challenge…
