Accidentally

Chapter 7: Physical

Sakura smiled to herself as she walked down the halls with Deidara, Zetsu, and Hidan.

They were barraging her with questions, and Sakura didn't get the chance to answer a single one. Nor did she have the ability to understand a single one, because they wouldn't slow down enough for her to comprehend what the hell it was, exactly, that they were saying.

Decipher this for her, if you will,

"What''dyeahyoudamnyou'sasexybitchslap,"

Quite frankly, she didn't want to dwell on it, eith-

"Miss Sakurrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Sakura turned to see a Tobi running at her full speed, arms spread wide open.

Startled, she squeaked, not quite ready for another, 'Tobi Squeeze of Adoration'.

Turning and bolting down the hallway, sh-...almost. Almost bolting down the hallway.

For, when she turned her first corner, she stupidly ran straight into Kakuzu.

Tobi stopped.

She pawed at his chest for a moment, before regaining her composure and feeling quite embarassed. As he stared down at her, she felt her face get hot, and Hidan suddenly felt very scared for the pink-haired kunoichi.

Kakuzu hated being touched, unless physical violence was involved.

Hidan remembered when he'd tried to tickle Kakuzu and the fucker had ripped his head off.

(you would, too, Kuzu-chan! XD)

Just when Sakura thought she was going to pass out, Konan walked right into the middle of the scene, sensing Sakura's distress.

"Itachi-san and Kisame have returned, Sakura-san. I am obligated to introduce," She announced, and Sakura gave her a look of thanks.

Deidara and Zetsu grumbled, returning to their rooms. Kakuzu, usual scowl set in place, mumbled something about finances and turned back the way he came. Hidan followed him, after throwing Sakura a wary look that said, 'You, are one hot, lucky, bitch.'

Sakura followed Konan dreadfully, deciding that, after Sasuke, she never wanted to see another Uchiha again.

"It's okay, Sakura-chan. Itachi isn't that bad...it's only your third day here, and almost all of us have become fond of you, from what I can tell," Konan reassured, and Sakura rose an eyebrow.

"Itachi will adjust too, eventually. Don't even worry about Kisame. From when we've watched you, and of what I know of your personality, you two will get along great."

Sakura already knew of most Akatsuki, including the blue-skinned Mist-nin.

Kisame Hoshigaki

Itachi Uchiha

Deidara of Iwa

And...

Akasuna no Sasori.

But...he was long gone.

Sakura also could have sworn that she remembered seeing Kakuzu a few years back, at the Bale Bonds office(I have no idea what they call it in Japan, but that place where Kakuzu-kun took Chiriku to collect the bounty), but her memories were a bit blurred.

"I'm not at all really worried about him. I'm just nervous of Itachi."

Sure, Sakura had met Itachi a few times before, but that was in battle. This meeting was on somewhat...friendlier terms.

Into the living room, Sakura spotted her least favourite person in the world, the cause of all of Sasuke's problems, and lover of dango sticks, Uchiha Itachi, standing blankly next to his blue partner.

"Uchiha." Sakura glared slightly.

"Haruno."

"Well! If it isn't the little blossom that Pein's been talking about! How's it going, Pinky? Name's Kisame Hoshigaki. You must be Haruno Sakura!" The Mist-nin greeted in a good-natured tone.

Sakura nodded, not taking her eyes off of Itachi. Konan decided to step in before a riot of epic proportions broke out.

"Well then! As much a I would love to see how well you two get along, Itachi-san and Kisame-chan have a mission report to deliver,"

Kisame scowled slightly, "Stop calling me 'chan', Kona-kun."

Konan laughed and pushed the two out of the room.

Sakura's expression lightened, and she and Konan grinned at each other.

OoOoOo

Deidara turned the knob, opening the door slowly to the dark room, only to be met by a cold stare.

"When in the seven hells can I come out of here, brat?"

(O.O)

OoOoOo

_Somewhere along the border of Waterfall_

"So...Once we're out of waterfall, we only need to pass through Grass, and we're in Rain. Well, let's keep moving," Kabuto returned the nation map to his back pocket, and continued walking.

Sasuke's eye switches were set to determination.

In his mind, it was obvious that the Akatsuki had abducted Sakura, probably using her as a ransom for the Nine Tails. He normally wouldn't mind this in the least(Don't lie to yourself, Teme), but the word Akatsuki brought one thing to mind, and one thing only:

Itachi.

I mean, he gets the news that Sakura's gone missing, and a day later he sees the bird of the blond-haired bomber?

Come on.

He was heading to Akatsuki's base right now, and damn it, he was going to leave as the only Uchiha left. With a concubine.

Too bad that wasn't the case.

'I'm coming, Sakura.'

OoOoOo

Oh. Hidan's. God.

Hidan: Hah!

That fucking error thing FINALLY went away.

That little shit made me miss Sakura-chan's birthday!

...fucker.

Hidan: Right on.

So, yeah. Sasuke's coming! *plays Jaws soundtrack*

You all know it's true:

An Aka/Saku story isn't an Aka/Saku story without some Sas-gay jealousy!

Sakura: Amen!

Shikamaru: Am I going to be in the story anymore, Rae-chan?

Aww, of course, Shika-kun! Your time will come!

Now, I am late, but I keep forgetting to mention this:

Lin-chan!(You know who you are) I am so very honored to have YOU as a reviewer, seeing as you have written one of my most FAVOURITEST AkaSaku stories EVER!("We'll Fix You!")

Ahh, glad I got that off my chest.

Deidara: And only three reviews for the last two chapters, yeah? C'mon, you guys! Are you TRYING to put Hazuki-chan in an emo corner?

Easy there, Deidara. Here, want a waffle?

Deidara: YAY! WAFFLES FTW! (I don't even know what that stands for. XD)

Until next chapter,

~Rave-

Hidan: Why the fuck do you always do that?

Shut it!
