Here's chapter 2! I hope you all like it. Did everyone know that there's a whole city or town, a whole big place dedicated to aliens, because there was a crash landing there! I think it's Rosewell or something like that! Someone please tell me, okay? Anyway, be sure to review when you are done, and you will officially be an alien! Why? Because aliens rock! =)
I paced my room, wishing I was out there. All those boys were hanging out in the lobby place and they got to play poker and stuff, but not me. I mean, these men are looking for those demons, right? They want ultimate power? So why are they betting on dog races?! That's just rediculious! And the only reason I'm not allowed to hang out with them? It's because I'm a girl. Seriously? Are they serious? Like I wouldn't be able to defend myself against the lot of them. I created earthquakes with my fists. I'm sure I could handle a couple of horny men.
Whatever. I don't want to hang out with them anyway. What I really want is for that Karin to come here so I can cheerfully rip that nappy head of hair right out of her skull. How dare she hang around Sasuke like that! I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't like him anymore. But she was so clingy, so possessive of him, and he allowed it! That's what really makes me mad. He never allowed me to do that, so why her? What makes her so special? Does he love her? I pledged my life to him, and that's how he repays me?
Years I've spent, chasing his heels like a puppy. My life is in utter ruins. How is it possible to go on living after recieving such a revalation. I knew, always did, that he had no feelings for me. Well, that's not completely true. He was annoyed by me, and possibly hated me. But he never harbored any romantic emotions for me, not like he seemed to have for that woman, the cursed woman with permanant bed-head. How could he choose that over me? That, that, that pigly-woman!
And how he acted that day, like he owned me. He actually commanded Itachi to leave my side, like I was a possession that was being stolen away. What right does he have, after shunning me all these years, what right does he claim on me? How dare he!
There was a knock on my door, and I instructed the intruder to enter. It was Itachi. "What do you want?" I spat. An Uchiha, the last kind of human I wanted to see, if any of what's left can be considered human. I mean, Itachi knocked off his whole clan and Sasuke is a traitor freak who wants to kill his brother. Wow, I can feel the bonds of a family.
"The Boss wants to see you." He answered stoically, reminding me of his brother. What had I done to be wrapped up in such a situation, in the lives of both of the Uchiha boys? I stood and slipped on my Akatsuki robe, and followed him through the complicated tunnels that made up the Akatsuki base. Finally we emerged at a huge golden door. It swung open, as if our presence had insisted upon it. Itchi led me into the dark room, the door creaked behind as it closed us in. Torches lit up along the walls of the room, revealing it to be a throne room of a sort.
"Sakura Haruno." The man on the big throne said. He was shrouded in shadows, so I was unable to decipher his physical qualities. "Will it be too hard for you to hunt little Sasuke Uchiha?" I saw, in my perephial vision, Itachi's face grow dark at the mention of his brother. "It has come to my attention that you once held a very powerful infatuation for him." I scoffed.
"People change their minds, therefore the future is never clear. I have changed. I will do as I am told." I saw his head move, a nod. "I have been told that I am Akatsuki. Akatsuki kill their enemies. Next time I meet with the younger Uchiha, I will not hesitate to prove that I am truely Akatsuki." He seemed overjoyed with my answer, but did not express it openly. I could see a proud grin spread on Itachi's face.
"Good. You and Itachi will go out now, you will hunt down Sasuke Uchiha and that Karin woman." He ordered. I could feel myself burning with anticipation. I wanted this more than anything else at the moment, this is what I will live for. I will accomplish my revenge against the one who threw me away when I was no longer useful to him. I will no longer be the loyal puppy, at his heels, heeding to his beck and call. I am the hunter now, and he is my game. My success will be achieved, no matter the cost.
We decended from the shrubs, from our hiding place. Uchiha and Karin were camping out not 20 feet from us. Karin is asleep, after trying to commit foreplay with Uchiha. It was obvious that he was in no mood for her games. She gave up and went to her tent. Uchiha was drowsing by the fire, barely awake. They would be easy prey, and I will win. Though, it seemed . . . boring. It was no fun to fight an enemy who could not defend themselves. Well, if I know Uchiha enough, he will make this a fun fight.
"You will kill the woman." Itachi instructed.
"No way! I want Uchiha!" My hands snapped up to cover my mouth. I alarmed the drowsy boy, and he held his blade in one hand. "Why do I have to deal with the weaker one? Why do you get to have all the fun?"
"Do as you are told, and do not fight my judgment."
"I can take him!"
"Of course it is obvious that you are tremendously stronger than my little brother. I know that you could beat him easily. But that is not the mission that was assigned." That's right, I forgot about that extra part. Itachi was supposed to get some inormation out of Uchiha.
"But what if Karin knows something? Should I kill her regardless?"
He thought about it. "No, do not kill her yet. Induce her into a coma-like state. That should not be a problem, because you are medic nin, right?"
"It's no trouble, not at all." I answered, determined to prove once and for all that I am not the skittish little girl Uchiha despised. I am Akatsuki, and I will make him fear me. Itcahi nodded for me to begin, and I disappeared. I came up quietly to the tent where Karin would be sleeping. I made my own entry, by cutting out the entire side of the tent. Of course, I didn't have to do any work. She was such a heavy sleeper, I wondered if she were already in a coma. But of course, I did as I was told.
Itachi had just as much luck as I did. Uchiha was not trouble for him, and Itachi soon had him pinned down. I dragged the heavy pigly-woman over and threw her next to Uchiha, then stood next to Itachi. "Now what do we do with them?" I asked. I was very good at acting bored, when inside I was jittery with excitement. "Should we bring them back to the boss?"
"Induce my little brother into a coma, like the woman." I nodded and charged my hand with negative chakra. Negative chakra did bad things, like a coma and death.
"Sakura, why are you doing this?" Uchiha asked, his face distorted with anger. I despised the way my body warmed when he said my name, as if I were still one of his foolish fangirls. "What happened to you?"
"I am doing this because it is my mission." I answered. If looks could kill, right?
"This isn't you!" As if he knew what I was really like.
"I am Akatsuki." This was my mantra. Maybe if I keep telling myself that, I will believe it as well.
"No, you're not! You're a hidden leaf ninja."
"And what about you?" I retorted. "You were once a ninja of the hidden leaf. Does that mean you are a hidden leaf ninja was well?"
He didn't say anything for a while, thinking it over. He finally looked me in the eye and answered. "I am. I am still a hidden leaf ninja, just like you. I left to get power, to kill the one you feel the need to protect!" He glared at Itachi, but there was also sadness as he said it, as if he had just realized the truth behind his revelation.
"I will not allow any harm to befall Itachi." I snapped. I felt possessive of my partner, if only because I need him alive so I can do missions.
"Go back to Konoha, Sakura. You don't belong with the Akatsuki."
"And you don't belong with Orochimaru." He was not going to get away with trying to use the guilt card on me. I invented the guilt technique. Well, maybe not, but I might as well have!
"You don't know anything about me! Don't tell me where I do and don't belong!"
"And you know nothing of me. Get off your high horse, Sasuke Uchiha. You will never commit your revenge, I will make sure of it." I placed my hand and surged the negative chakra throughout his body, and he passed out. "Itachi, I am part of Akatsuki, aren't I?"
"No question about it. You truely have proved you are Akatsuki. Good job, Sakura." I nodded, and grabbed the heavy pigly-woman. I slung her over my shoulder while Itachi grabbed Uchiha by the collar. We headed back to the base.
"Itachi, am I still a hidden leaf ninja? Do I still belong to Konoha."
"Ninja who are hidden leaf will always belong to Konoha. That gives Konoha the right to punish the rogue as they will." Hmm, not good. "That is why we must never be caught. You and I are valuable assets to Akatsuki, and therefore must always be available to Akatsuki. We can't be if we are caught. Sakura, you must never be caught." I nodded. We walked right into the Akatsuki base, not stopping when a few apprentices, who think they are Akatsuki, said hello. I could hear them grumbling about me behind us, but chose to ignore them. Let them flap their jaws, because I am more than them. The superior will always have people who question their position, and that is something I must get used to. . . . when did I start to think like that?
We traveled down many stairs, and finally came to the last landing, the basement. It was more like a dungeon, for it was filled with chains and cells. I awakened the two prisioners. Uchiha went into one cell, and the pigly-woman into the next. I ignored the pigly-woman, who screamed at us as we ascended the stairs again. Uchiha said not a word, but when the pigly-woman quieted, knowing we were not listening, I could hear his voice whisper my name in a disappointed tone, "Sakura."
