Chapter 4: Trouble

"Temari?" Sakura asked in surprise.

Temari then freed Sakura from her breath taking hug and looked at her with a cheery grin.

"What are you doing here?" The two girls asked each other at the same time; Sakura sounded very curious while Temari sounded more excited.

"Well, duh, I'm here for vacation." Sakura then answered with a grin.

"Really? Us too!" Temari squealed; thrilled on the fact that she'd be with her friends on her day-off.

"Us?"

"Yeah, I'm with Gaara and Kankuro. Where are they anyway?" Temari then looked around, followed by Sakura.

While they kept looking at the two shinobi, Sakura informed, "Hey, did you know that Shikamaru is here too?" She was about to go towards Naruto and the others but when she did not heard any word from Temari, she stopped and looked behind. "Temari?" She called. She then stared at the paralyzed blond confusedly. Temari's eyes were big as plate, not even blinking and her jaws were slightly dropped. She sweatdropped animatedly. She then walked closer to the addressed lady and held her shoulders. "Hey Temari, are you okay? You look like a shock Naruto."

"H-h-he's a-an A-a-a-a-k-kat-tsuki r-right?" Temari asked in horror, stammering nervously as she pointed the red headed puppeteer.

Sakura removed her hands on the blonde's shoulders and turned around to look at Sasori. The guy was silently and calmly staring at the sea, inhaling the fresh air of mother nature. Then, as he heard Temari, he turned around to look at them.

"Oh, Sasori? Yes h-"

"Sasori? Sasori? The puppet master? OMG!" Temari exclaimed. The other two ninjas winced from the deafening yell.

"Ah, you must be one of Sakura's friends from Suna." The crimson haired man said.

"H-hai. Wait a second, Sakura you're talking to him! Are you a traitor?" The blond kunoichi panicked.

"No!" Sakura exclaimed. "Me? With him? With Akatsuki? Certainly wouldn't happen."

"Now that hurts me little girl." The puppeteer said as he walked behind the pink haired lady and wrapped his arms around her waist. His lips then touched her cheek slightly. Sakura's pale cheeks turned as red as her dress. Temari on the other hand, stared at the two with her widened green orbs. "I was even thinking of taking you with me after this vacation." He whispered.

With one deep breath, Sakura calmed herself and stood still. "Sasori?" She called as calmly as she could even though a vein definitely popped on her head animatedly.

The man wrapping her, inhaled her sweet unique scent before he asked, "What is it little girl?" His soft lips brushing her blushing face as he spoke.

Temari was still stoned and just kept staring at her friend and the red headed missing-nin.

"Will you please get off me?" Sakura asked with her calm voice containing a warning tone.

Sasori smiled amusedly. "Whatever you wish little girl." Then, he walked away.

Sakura then sighed in relief and looked at the stunned sand ninja. "Uh, Temari?" She called quite worriedly. She waited for her friend to respond but the lady kept her mouth shut, waiting for an explanation. With another sigh, Sakura explained, "The whole Akatsuki are on vacation too. They won't try to kill us until this vacation is over and we shouldn't try to kill them in return too."

"Really?"

"Hai,"

"But, what do you mean 'they'?"

"As I said, the whole Akatsuki are here. All of them are here."

"Oh," was what Temari could say before she froze once again and her eyes widened. "HUWHAT!" Temari growled in horror.

"Why?"

"Gotta find Gaara, gotta find Gaara, gotta find Gaara,..." Temari chanted as she kept looking around in a hurry.

Sakura who was astonished followed her. "Temari, what's wrong?" She asked with a concerned look on her face.

Temari stopped walking and looked at Sakura with a horror look on her face. She then put her hands on the pinkette's shoulders and gripped them quite tightly. "Can you imagine if Gaara finds out that there's Akatsuki here? They killed Gaara once and now Gaara wants to kill them, especially the blond guy who looks like Ino. Oh, my baby brother. I don't want to see him fighting with an Akatsuki again. And I DON'T WANT MY VACATION TO BE RUINED!" Temari explained and growled the last sentence while shaking the pinkette's body like a mad woman.

"Temari, dizzy,.. stop. Ugh,.. dizzy." For a moment, Sakura felt like throwing up.

-Boom-

A large explosion was heard from outside the ship. Temari and Sakura then ran to Naruto and the others.

"Hey Naruto, what's going on?" Sakura asked quite worriedly.

"Oh, did you know that Gaara is here?" Naruto asked loudly and excitedly like a little kid.

"I know," She replied blankly.

Then, they waltzed to the side of the ship and saw, not far away from the large vessel, that Gaara and Deidara were fighting already.

"Oh my Kami, stop them, stop them, stop them,..." Temari panicked, shaking Naruto while she kept repeating her word.

"It's Jashin not Kami." Hidan corrected which earned him a few blank stares.

"Damn you Kishimoto, why did you kill an awesome character like me?" Kakuzu sulked while sitting on the dark corner of the ship. Then he heard that Deidara and the kazekage were about to fight. He stood up and grinned behind the white cloth. "Let's bet!" yelled him. "Okay, now who do you think will win?" He asked everyone quite highly energetic than the usual.

"Okay, I'll bet for Deidara-chan. He defeated Gaara once." Kisame said with a grin, showing to everyone his razor sharp teeth.

"That's 50 per vote." Kakuzu said, smirking behind his white mask.

"What? That's too much for a small bet!" The shark-like shinobi snapped.

"It's okay if you don't want to." Kakuzu simply replied.

"Hey, fucking betting is a sin! Jashin-sama will be mad at us!" Hidan said.

"Who's Ja-shin-sama?" Shizune asked.

"Oh, Jashin-sama is my precious God. He's the fucking greatest God of all." Hidan then started to explain everything about his God to Shizune and the medic-nin seemed quite interested about it.

"Who else wanna bet?" Kakuzu yelled.

"Me, I vote for the youthful Gaara." Lee gave his money to the masked missing-nin.

"I vote for Gaara too." Shino said, taking money from his wallet.

Everyone looked at Shino with their surprise expression.

"Wow. He's talking, I thought,...aw never mind." Pein said. Everyone sweatdropped animatedly.

"I vote for my copycat." Ino then gave her money to Kakuzu.

"Ino? You're voting for Deidara?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, the shark man said that Gaara was beaten once by my copycat. So I voted him." Ino then laughed like a mistress. Her pink haired friend sweatdropped animatedly.

"I vote for Deidara too!" Kankuro yelled. Temari punched him at his head.

"Ouch, that hurts. What the hell?" Kankuro cried, rubbing his head.

"You should vote Gaara. He's our baby brother." Temari said.

Sakura just let out a sigh. 'I thought she wanted to stop the fight?'

'Ohhh, I can't believe that our Kazekage-sama is here too.'Inner Sakura sang happily.

'He's not my Kazekage.' Sakura corrected.

'My wish came true. God is so good. Thanks God.'

Outer Sakura decided to ignore her inner for good.

'Now, I got to think of something on how to stop them.' Sakura thought seriously. 'It seems like Tsunade-sama doesn't care and the other sensei's are,... betting?'

"I vote for Gaara!" Kurenai shouted raising her hand with money.

Sakura sweatdropped animatedly again. They really didn't care about the fight. What the hell? 'At least, Naruto seems kinda mature for not betting, maybe it's because of Hinata,...'

"I vote for my best friend Gaara!" Naruto shouted. Sakura punched him. "What was that for?" He cried.

"I'm voting for Gaara." Itachi said calmly.

"Why didn't you vote for Deidara?" Kakuzu asked.

"I hate him." Itachi answered nonchalantly.

"Hey! I heard that, yeah!" Deidara yelled angrily at the dark haired Uchiha.

After betting, everyone now were watching the fight anxiously and cheering and yelling the name of who ever they voted.

"Go Gaara!" Tenten cheered.

"Deidara, if you lose, I'll cut your hair!" Ino growled which made the blond Akatsuki quite nervous.

"Go baby brother! Make your sistah proud!" Temari cheered.

"If you die Deidara-senpai, can I have your room?" Tobi asked.

"So Sakura, did you bet too?" Temari asked, turning her head to see that Sakura was not on her side. Temari then tapped Naruto. The yellow haired shinobi looked at her. "Where's Sakura?" asked her.

"I thought she's with you?"

"She's not." Temari answered.

"There!" Naruto exclaimed pointing at Sakura who stood in the middle of Gaara and Deidara.

"What the hell is she doing there?" Temari asked.

"Is she the referee?" Naruto asked.

'Baka,' Temari thought blankly while staring at the certain blond shinobi.

Then everyone saw Sakura punched the ground using her monstrous strength. Like an earthquake, the whole place trembled causing the sea to create small waves and the ground to crumble into pieces.

Gaara and Deidara both paused and stopped fighting. They both stared at the pink haired kunoichi with quite widened eyes.

"If you don't stop fighting," Sakura began cracking her knuckles. "I'll break your bones into pieces!" Sakura growled. Her green orbs glowing angrily.

"Scary," Gaara murmured.

"Yeah," Deidara agreed.

"What did you say?" Sakura asked, raising her eyebrows like a terror teacher.

"I said you're,..."

"Oh no, Gaara you're dead." Naruto said in horror. Temari looked at Naruto confusedly.

"Scary," Gaara managed to continue before a fist connected with his face, effectively sending him off in an unknown direction.

Everyone who was watching them winced.

"I know that really hurts, poor Gaara." Naruto said as remembrance pained him.

"And you!" Sakura growled, walking near to Deidara.

"Eep! Please don't kill me, yeah." Deidara begged, shaking slightly as he clasped his hands in front of the fierce kunoichi.

She stared at the begging Akatsuki with a poker face. It was actually her first time seeing an Akatsuki begging for life. It quite amused her. She wanted to laugh but she picked to remain her neutral face.

"Hmf. I really hate boys." She said before making a hand sign to go to Gaara, wherever he was, and then brought him back to the ship.

"She became stronger." Zetsu said with a smirk.

"Hn," Itachi replied as his lips twitched slightly, fighting an amused smirk to form onto him. His bloody crimson orbs never left her even if she had the Kazekage on her shoulder and brought him quite gently to the ship.

Deidara's cheeks were slightly pink as his blue orbs stuck to the pink haired kunoichi. She was calm while she kept checking his wounds on his naked torso. He never thought she could be that calm after what she did in the middle of his fight. She could fool anyone, that's for sure. He then heard the medic clicked her tongue.

"Your dress and cloak are slightly ruined now." She said, a slight remorse was on her tone.

His stomach then almost turned upside down as her palms touched his chest. His mouth almost dried as his eyes crawled down to her creamy, long neck. He then gulped and looked again on her face. "I'm sorry if we made you angry, yeah." He apologized.

She smiled softly that made his stomach to feel weird again. "I just really don't want my vacation to be ruined." She said.

"And thank you for healing me even though I'm enemy, yeah."

"Just promise me you'll never get into a fight like this while you're on this vacation." She replied as she finished putting bandages on his arms.

He then sat, blue eyes never left Sakura and a grin formed across his lips. "Okay then, I promise it cherry blossom."

"Don't call me that." Sakura warned blankly by poking the wound on his forehead under the band-aid she just stuffed.

He winced slightly. Then, he grabbed her wrist and let their arms to fall on their side. Her emerald orbs met his sapphires. He also didn't fail to notice the pink tints that flushed on her beautiful cheeks. "Why?" He asked. "It really suits you, cherry blossom." He said, leaning his face closer to her.

A mischievous smile then formed across her pinkish lips to his amusement. "Then, would it be fine for you if I'd call you sunflower-chan?" She asked, leaning her face closer to him and smelling the unique scent of clay and blood on him.

His mouth then neared to her ear. "Well then I'd rather call you Sa-ku-ra-chan." He whispered seductively and then grinned.

Sakura's face turned bright red and hated her self for the fact that another Akatsuki was making her heart to drum hyperactively. She then stood up with straight yet crimson face. "I'm done here." She said coldly before walking away and headed to where the Kazekage was lying.

"Thanks, yeah." He said softly with a glint of interest on his eyes as his lips smirked mischievously, not sure if the medic heard him.

'Hey Gaara, wake up. Some hottie hot hot girl is healing you.' Shukaku called.

Gaara opened his jade eyes slowly, still feeling dizzy and had a few star circling over his crimson head.

His hand then moved and held his aching face. He winced and grunted slightly in pain.

"I'm really sorry about it Kazekage-sama." The pink haired lady who was sitting in front of the lying shinobi apologized, her head lowering and her eyes kept on the wooden floor.

'Oh, now I know her.'Shukaku said amusedly. 'She is Naruto's teammate, the girl whom we tried to kill at chunin exam.'Gaara picked to ignore Shukaku and just sat up.

The kunoichi felt him moved but she didn't dare to raise her head if the Kazekage hadn't told her to. She was then stunned as she felt a finger under her chin and raised her head slowly, only to be met by a pair of jade eyes.

"Just call me Gaara." He said.

"What? But-" His hand left her chin. She was then again caught by his endless jade orbs. This time her face turned as red as his hair. "H-hai, Gaara," She then looked away and pouted slightly. "-sama," She mumbled.

The Kazekage then chuckled to her surprise. Her head turned to look at him and was stunned at how peaceful he looked like with that smile on his face. Then, after a few moments, his nonchalant face came back.

His lips twitched upwards slightly as his green orbs never left the medic. "Would you mind healing my face now?" His tone cold and low yet he sounded slightly amused.

"Ah, no! I'm sorry it kind of slipped my mind." She said, totally embarrassed of the fact that she almost forgot to heal the Kazekage. She could feel her face getting hotter. Her palm then touched his cheek and glowed green. Her uneasy face was calming as time passed by. Then, while staring at her hand that was covered by green chakra on his face, she said quite absentmindedly, "You don't look so bad when you smile like that."

This time, a smirk finally formed across his lips. "I was only able to do that because you're with me." He said, his arm lifting up as he held her hand that was on his face. Said hand stopped glowing. He then brought it to his lips, kissing and inhaling her soft palm. The young lady in front of her was frozen like statue and blushing like the girlfriend of Naruto. His lips then crawled to her wrist. His eyes never left hers. Then, he almost chuckled again as her breath hitched when he let his tongue out and slowly licked her pulsing wrist. Again, a smirk formed on his lips. "Your hand is soft, Sakura." He said amusedly as he gave her knuckles one last kiss before he freed her.

Blushing madly, Sakura held her abused and shaking hand with her eyes widened. 'What the hell is wrong with him?' She thought as she felt her heart beating abnormally. "I,.. gotta go." She said before running away from the red haired shinobi.

'I see, so you still like her.' Shukaku said amusedly. 'She's hot.' The Ichibi stated. 'I like her too.'

Gaara could only smirk to himself.

Itachi's crimson orbs never left the rose haired kunoichi even though she was quite far away from him. He saw everything from the moment she healed the blond missing-nin until she ran away after healing the red head Kazekage. He also heard their conversation and to his surprise, it had slightly a big impact on him. He would never forgive Deidara from touching her. The blond would definitely be doomed and so was that Kazekage.

Sakura was only his.

"Hey Itachi, have you seen Sasori?" Kisame asked.

The addressed man stood up and walked away, ignoring and leaving the huge guy alone.

"What the hell?" Kisame asked, couldn't believe that his partner would ignore him as if he turned invisible.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He, seems angry."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Who am I talking to?" (You're talking to no one Kisame.)

"Hey Kakuzu, give us our money back!" Naruto yelled.

"Yeah!" The others exclaimed.

"What? None of them won, so the money is mine." Kakuzu answered, widening his glowing eyes slightly.

"Who said so?" Gai asked quite angrily.

"Me," Kakuzu answered.

"Byakugan!" Both Neji and Hinata said, activating the ability of their pearl-like eyes.

"Rasengan!" Naruto shouted, his other clones forming a ball of dangerous chakra on his hand.

"If you don't give us our money I will summon a hundred huge frogs!" Jiraiya said.

"I will kick you out at the Akatsuki." Pein said.

"Tobi will change to Madara and kill you." Tobi said.

Kankuro then released his three puppets, Temari opened her big fan and Tenten readied her scroll that full of unique weapons.

"I will eat you, I'm hungry." Chouji said.

"I will wrap you in my paper like a mummy until you can't breathe!" Konan said.

"Akamaru and I will bite you!" Kiba said. Akamaru raised his head to look at his master then went back to his slumber again.

"I will kick you to death!" Lee said.

"I will kiss you to death." Ino said. They all looked at her. "Kidding," She said.

Kakuzu sighed. 'Thank God she's kidding.'

"And, I will crush your body, to ashes." Tsnade growled.

They then walked slowly to Kakuzu, all eyes gleaming with desire to rip off his four hearts.

Kakuzu gulped.

"..."

"..."

"Okay, here's your money! Just don't kill me!" He said before throwing off their money to them and ran away.

A/N: Chapter 4, done. Sorry for the oocness of the characters but yeah, this is a crack story so you should've expected that. : P Review please. (",)

KAKUZU: My money! Oh my precious money. Why? Why? Why?

And then he turned into an emo. Haha Kidding.
