Tobi: Flame-chan why did you try to take off Tobi's mask?
Black Flame 29: I was bored and tired.
Tobi: Now you can't take it off at all!
Black Flame 29: What do you mean?
Tobi: Tobi super glued Tobi's mask to Tobi's face!
Black Flame 29: You did what?
Tobi: Tobi was afraid Flame-chan would see Tobi's face.
Black Flame 29: Tobi say the disclaimer please, before I do this.
Tobi: Flame-chan does not own Naruto, because Tobi's a good a boy!
Black Flame 29: Now hold still. (grabs a pair of pliers)
Tobi: What are you doing Flame-chan? Flame-chan? (RIIIIPPP) Owwwwieeee!
Chapter 4: Akatsuki Members Unexpected
(Sakura's nightmare)
Plip plip plip. I felt liquid drip on my face. 'What's this?' I thought touching where it was. 'Red? Warm? It smells like iron?' I thought trying to remember where I have seen this before. "Sakura honey? Where are you sweet heart?" a familiar voice rang through my ears. I tried to speak but the words never came out. 'Mom!' I thought running, but before I could get anywhere I slipped in something red and sticky. 'Where have I seen this before?' I thought trying so hard to remember. "Sakura come on! You need to find Mommy and Daddy!" another familiar voice shouted. 'Dad!' I thought trying to run even faster. Suddenly two blood curdling screams caught my ears. 'Wait no not this memory… anything but this memory!' I thought trying to go backwards, but something like a magnet pulled me forward. "Sakura honey where are you?" my mother's voice rang through my ears. My surroundings became brighter, and I started to try to scream. I looked ahead of me and saw my parents' corpses lying on the ground in big puddles of their blood. 'No I don't want to see him!' I thought trying to escape, but I was stuck in place. "Don't worry little one you'll join them soon, but not now you're too young… I hope you remember me… The name's Zabuza." he said placing a hand on my shoulder. As he laughed I was falling and hit the ground.
(end of Sakura's nightmare)
I awoke in a cold sweat with tears running down my face. "I'm sorry mom and dad." I whispered clutching my pillow, and started to sob. 'Sorry…' Inner Sakura said comfortingly. 'It wasn't your fault I was weak.' I thought back. I got out of bed, put on sweat pants and a t shirt, went out of the house, and started to jog. 'Why do you jog again?' Inner Sakura asked bored half way through the jog. 'Because I can control things here, unlike my nightmares.' I thought trying to shake of the last one. 'Inner, this was the worst one yet… They get worse every night.' I thought jogging to the parking lot.
When I was done with my jog I sat beneath a tree at the school campus. I felt my lungs falling slowly up and down again and again as I my heavy lids fell to a close. "Ra." a faint voice said. "Kura." the voice said a little clearer. "Sakura, yeah." Deidara said shaking my shoulders gently. "What? Oh Deidara it's you…" I said blushing a little. "What are you doing here, un? It's 6:30 am no one is here earlier than me, yeah." he said helping me up. "I guess I was so tired after my jog I sorta fell asleep on my break." I said a little embarrassed. "Do you want to see my favorite place on campus, un?" he asked smiling. "Sure." I said smiling as he lead me around the school building.
"I come here to draw and paint, yeah. I don't do it in front of the Akatsuki, because they might make fun of me, un." he said showing me a wooden area. "Akatsuki?" I asked confused now. "I might as well tell you because I told Leader-sama what you did to Ino, and Kisame told him what you did to Sasuke, yeah." he said with a sigh. "Go on." I said wanting to know more. "The Akatsuki is a popular gang around here Sasori, Madara, Tobi, Kisame, Itachi, Zetsu, Kakuzu, Hidan, Tenten, Hinata, Temari, Leader-sama, and I are apart of it, yeah. Our leader, who you are meeting today, wants you to join, un." he explained looking at me closely. 'Should I join?' I thought to Inner Sakura. 'Yes! One because you like Deidara, and two because they could help us about him.' she said crossing her arms. "Fine, I'll join you."
"Leader-sama, yeah. Sakura-chan would like to join, un." Deidara said to a boy who looked like he was in the year of graduation. "She does? We'll all spend the night at my house, and explain the ground rules to her.
( after school at Pein's house)
"Now we have a new member joining the Akatsuki, so be respectful of her. Haruno get your butt in here!" Pein shouted. "FINE!" I shouted walking into the room. "Don't yell at me! No one tells me what to do!" he screamed like a toddler. "I wouldn't say 'no one'." Tenten said with a grin. " 'No one', besides my girlfriend Tenten." Pein said with a smile. "Now, onto the rules." Pein said taking out a giant book. 'I might as well make it look like I'm listening. Hey, Inner Sakura can you do anything to make it look like I'm listening?' I asked hopeful. 'Yes, at least it will save you and me torture.' she said throwing imaginary powder into my face.
(hours later)
"Did you get all that Sakura?" Pein asked finally closing the book. "Yes Leader-sama." I said guessing that's what I should say thanks to Deidara and the others. "Very good. Tomorrow's Saturday, so get some rest everyone." he said walking up the stairs. "Sakura-chan, yeah. Heads up, un!" Deidara shouted throwing a sleeping bag to me. "Thanks Deidara-kun!" I said rolling it out to sleep on it. "I can't wait until tomorrow!" I thought falling asleep smiling.
