CHAPTER 5

OFFICIALLY IN

Goodness. I don't know where to sit. Sakura thought to herself as she saw everyone sitting in their usual seats. Then she felt two arms envelop around her waist. She was about to grab a kunai, but then one of the presence's arms stopped her from cutting his flesh.

"Relax. It's just me." Said the presence.

"Geez. Itachi, don't go behind someone or else he or she may think you are about to attack." Replied Sakura quite annoyed.

"Oh? But you should've known it was me from my chakra." Itachi said coolly.

"You just surprised me. Gosh. Let go. I'm trying to find the perfect seat for myself." Sakura said trying to get out of his grasp.

"You can sit with me. I don't mind." Itachi said with a smirk pulling her closer to his chest.

Sakura then blushed and felt goose bumps go down her spine as she felt Itachi's breath close to her neck.

"O-okay then." Sakura said. Soon Itachi let go of her and led her to where Kisame and him usually sit.

Sakura sat in between Kisame and Itachi. Sakura smiled at Itachi and Kisame and soon they smiled back at her. Soon she and Kisame started to argue.

"I didn't dye my hair Kisame. It was pink my whole life, so bug off you're getting on my nerves." Sakura said rather annoyed.

"But it really looks like you dyed your hair. I mean c'mon who has pink hair?!" Kisame exclaimed.

"Well I guess I'm that someone who has pink hair, so shut it before I mess your face up."

"Oh? How are you going to do that?"

Sakura couldn't take it anymore. Kisame was really getting on her nerves. She soon then came up with a plan then smirked.

"I'm sorry Kisame-kun. Please forgive my rudeness." Sakura started to get up and put her hands on his shoulders and give him a view of her chest in her shirt. Kisame couldn't believe what was happening, but he surely liked it.

"It's alright pinky. I don't really mind for your rudeness. I actually like it." Kisame said looking at Sakura.

"Good." Sakura said seductively. She then let her fingers twirl around in his hair. She saw Kisame close his eyes and she knew that he was enjoying what she was doing to him. She then let one of her hands fall to the side and pulled it back and punched him in the face.

Everyone then saw that Kisame was flying and his back banged the tree.

"Damnit. You broke my nose!" Kisame said getting up with his hand on his nose.

"Well you shouldn't have let your guard down. You should've known it was coming to you." Sakura said triumphantly with a smirk.

Everyone couldn't believe what they saw. All of the Akatsuki members were watching the entire thing. They saw how Sakura and Kisame were arguing then how Sakura was trying to seduce him. All Akatsuki was shocked. Itachi just smirked. Sasori was amazed. Both men knew now not to comment about her hair color. Sakura then went back to her seat and sat next to Itachi and started to have small talk with him. Sasori saw and was furious.

"Sasori-senpai. Do you like Sakura-san?" Deidara asked with a smirk.

"Of course not. She is just a teammate and will always be a teammate." Sasori replied coolly.

"Alright senpai. If you say so." I know Sasori-senpai has a thing for Sakura-san, but I don't want to get on his bad side. Deidara thought.

Soon Kisame got back to his seat and glared at Sakura.

"Oh don't give me that glare fish face. You should've known better." Sakura said while glaring at Kisame.

"Fine then pinky. At least fix my nose." Kisame replied coolly.

"Hai hai." Sakura then got up and used her medical ninjutsu and healed Kisame's broken nose.

Soon as she was done, Pein started the meeting. Everyone asked her questions and she replied coolly. Then after the questions were asked, Pein told Sakura that she is now an official member. Sakura was happy and excited. Everyone congratulated her.

"Great job on breaking Kisame's nose." Konan said with a smile.

"I know right?" Sakura said with a giggle.

Konan then gave Sakura a hug and an Akatsuki cloak, ring, and money. Sakura tried on the ring and cloak and it fit perfectly.

"Konan, will you go with me to the shops tomorrow so I can buy myself some clothing?" Sakura asked.

"Sure. I don't mind, besides there are these cute boots I must have."

Everyone then retired and went to their rooms to rest. Itachi and Sasori led Sakura to her room and bid her a good night. Sakura went into her room and thought of all the events that had happened today. She smiled to herself and fell asleep.

Itachi and Sasori were outside in the hall and were having a little chit-chat.

"Stay away from Sakura." Both men said at the same time.

Both smirked and glared.

"Itachi, I think I'm in the lead for winning Sakura's heart."

"I think not."

"Fine let's see what happens after a while."

"Hn."

Both men went their separate ways and went to sleep in their rooms.

Sasori couldn't sleep. He had too much things on his mind. He then went up to the roof and started to look at the moons and stars. Sakura then woke up. She couldn't sleep. She wanted to get a drink of water. She then got up and went to the kitchen. She then felt a presence, but she knew it was Sasori's. She was going to give him a drink but she felt him go outside. She then followed him.
