Black Hearts Turned Pink
Part 2
Kai: I'm back with chapter 2 of BHTP!
Kakashi: BHTP?
Kai: Yeah, you know. Black Hearts Turned Pink. DUH! Thought you were supposed to be the smart one.
Kakashi: *glare*
Kai: *hug* I'm sorry! Don't kill me! I won't ever say something like that again. Just do what you're supposed to so we can have some cookies and ice cream.
Kakashi: *ruffles hair smiling* Kai-Zuki does not own Naruto or any Naruto products. Just the story. *drags Kai away for cookies and ice cream*
Kai: Quick shout-out to my first five reviewers; TDI-Ryro-Eclares, scarecrowscreams, GhostChild13, Gin-Senpai and chococherryblossom. Thank you! :)
Sakura quickly flitted from tree to tree, so fast she was almost invisible. She had been travelling for a day and a half now and she was already almost at Suna. She smiled to herself, 'Thank Kami for making me so fast.'
Sakura tilted her head and narrowed her eyes a bit. She swore she heard a whistling sound and thought she felt a change in the wind. She decided to trust her instincts and ducked, just in time for a kunai to hit the tree where her head had been. She whirled around and saw the trees opposite from her barely shake. She could just barely feel the seven chakra signals coming from said trees and she smirked behind her mask when she realized who was trying to hide their chakra from her.
"So, the Akatsuki have finally come for me," she teased, the mask muffling her voice. They all narrowed their eyes when they realized they still couldn't tell whether or not they were after a male or a female, though they were pretty certain the ANBU was male.
Sakura saw no movement and narrowed her eyes in annoyance. 'They think I'm guessing that they are there. Stupid bastards.'
'Yah!' yelled Inner, 'We'll show them to never underestimate us.' Sakura inwardly groaned.
'I thought I lost you when I was sixteen.' Inner grinned.
'You could never lose me. I only come out when I think you need me and you might not realize it. Unfortunately you haven't needed me for almost two years, until now. Now make them know that you know they are there.' Sakura sighed but smiled to herself.
"You know, I thought Sasori was supposed to be dead and yet, he's here, alive and well." Another kunai flew out at her but she caught it before it reached anywhere near her face. She jumped down from the tree and threw the kunai in one fluid movement at the tree she knew Itachi was hiding in. She heard a quiet grunt and smelt the coppery smell of blood. 'Direct hit,' she thought, a big grin lighting up her face. Itachi dropped down from the tree, holding his left arm which had the kunai sticking out of his shoulder. His Sharingan was activated as he glared at her. She fearlessly stared at him, a mischievous glint showing through the slits in the mask.
"If you didn't want me to hit you, you shouldn't have thrown those two kunai," she playfully scolded, "That wasn't very nice Uchiha." Itachi stared at the ninja in front of him, surprise flickering across his face for barely a second. 'How did he know I was the one who threw the kunai?' he wondered, yanking said kunai out of his shoulder.
"How did you know Itachi was the one who threw the kunai?" Kisame asked, dropping down beside his teammate. She shrugged.
"It came from his chakra signal," she replied, feeling oddly relaxed. She watched as five other ninja dropped from the trees, looking at her with calculating expressions. 'Sasori, Hidan, Kakuzu, Deidara and Tobi. Zetsu is around here, somewhere, I'm sure of it.'
'Damn! These Akatsuki guys are sexier in person!' Inner said, almost drooling. Sakura mentally sweat-dropped at the bluntness of her mental disease.
Sasori's eyes narrowed when the ANBU did nothing but stare at them or that's what he was sure the ninja was doing, seeing as he had on the mask.
"Who are you and what is your name?" he asked, sounding annoyed. Sakura grinned. 'Bet they think I'm a guy too,' she thought in amusement.
'Please!' Inner said, 'We're too hot to be guys.' Sakura sighed.
'I can't believe I used to ask you for advice.' And before Inner could comment, Sakura quickly pushed her to the back of her mind.
After that was over, Sakura realized that they were still waiting on her answer, so she stood up straighter, a smirk they couldn't see plastered on her face.
"Who I am doesn't matter. For now, I'm Neko-san, she answered, "So what? Did Pein send you here to chat and have tea? Or are we gonna fight?" Hidan smirked.
"Now this is what I'm fucking talking about!" he yelled, before attacking the ninja with his scythe. Sakura easily dodged and took off running, the rest of the Akatsuki not far behind.
After 5 hours, Sakura had her hand on a tree, using it to keep her standing as she stared weakly at the men in front of her. Her cloak had a few tears in it, but not enough to reveal her figure. Her body was covered in scratches, cuts and bruise and she had 3 large wounds in her side from Hidan's scythe. Her armour and mask had a few small cracks in them and her chakra levels and speed were slowly decreasing. And yet, she couldn't help but feel proud of herself. After 5 hours of fighting the Akatsuki, here she was, still standing and still alive with only a few wounds.
The Akatsuki members looked at the mysterious ninja with interest and surprise. They'd never fought for so long against a large team of ninjas individually, and yet, here were the 7 of them, covered in scratches, cuts and bruises with a few large wounds, against only one ninja. They were even starting to feel a little tired. And throughout the whole fight, the ANBU had teased them, mocked them and even streamed out curses. Plus he was extremely cunning, using mostly trickery to try and escape from them, though it didn't take them long to find him back. Now they could see why Leader sent all of them.
"Don't you want to just give up and allow us to capture you?" Kisame asked, carefully fingering Sameheada, "It would save us a lot of trouble." Sakura smirked and cricked her knuckles.
"Well unfortunately for you," she replied, "I happen to like giving trouble." Hidan gave out one loud laugh.
"You fucking better not give in 'cause I still want to have some fucking fun!" and with that said, he attacked her again.
She dodged the first few attacks, but then one of his blades from the scythe caught one of her mask's strings and he pulled, cutting the string. Sakura jumped up into the trees the same time the mask fell from her face.
'Shit,' she thought, moving quietly and smoothly through the trees. She stopped when a kunai hit the tree in front of her and another hit the tree behind her. She tensed as she felt chakra sweep over her.
"Found him," Itachi said. She sensed Sasori's chakra strings come towards her and she quickly dodged. She pulled on the hood of the cloak, which miraculously hadn't fallen off during the fight, so it covered more of her face. She however failed to dodge another kunai thrown at her and so, she was hit in the side. Unfortunately for her, a rope was attached to the kunai and she was yanked out of the tree and onto the ground. Thankfully, her hood still hadn't fallen off. 'I really need to thank Neji the next time I see him,' she thought, pulling the kunai from her side and rolling over so her back faced the Akatsuki.
"Aww! C'mon! Take the cloak off, won't you, un," she heard Deidara say, sounding very frustrated.
"Tobi's a good boy! Tobi will take it off." Sakura waited until his fingers brushed her cloak before she turned and grabbed him by his neck, throwing him at the rest of the Akatsuki. They all dodged him, which gave Sakura enough time to jump up and run. Luckily, she was very fast without using any chakra.
Eventually, she felt them begin to start gaining on her and hoped luck would stay on her side. Apparently, luck decided to change its mind when a kunai nailed her to a tree by her cloak. She tried to drag the kunai out of her cloak and the tree but realized there wouldn't be enough time. So, she unclasped the cloak and jumped up into the trees then took off at a fast speed in the darkest parts of the trees.
She felt them starting to gain on her again and the blood loss wasn't really helping her. 'Oh shit,' she thought as she was hit out of the tree and into some bushes by a rather large object.
