Chapter 3: WHAT THE…an Invitation?

I stared slack jawed at the males in my room, they were all beginning to wake up and I was considering fainting or just beating the shit out of Hidan, who had a pair of my underwear on his head.

I decided for the second option, for as soon as Hidan had fully gotten up, I round-house kicked him into the wall and took my panties away and stuffed them in my bag. Now everybody was fully awake and looking at me with wide eyes.

As soon as Hidan had pulled himself out of the wall he said/yelled, "What the hell was that for Bitch?"

I just looked at him like he was crazy and said/screeched back, "What the Hell was that for you ask? It was for coming into my hotel room in the middle of the night, taking my panties and putting them on your head, and for just being alive! Now, what the hell are you all doing HERE?"

They looked at each other and then back at me and shrugged. I nearly lost it right then and there, but I settled for walking right up to Hidan and slapping him clean across the face. For what you might ask, well nothing at that moment, but he was good to take stress off on. Maybe it was because of him being immortal so you didn't have to worry about killing him in the long run when you relived stress on him.

I then looked them all dead straight in the eye, even Itachi, and said in the calmest voice I could muster, "Get the HELL out of my hotel room and leave me in peace PLEASE!" Hidan just grinned and shook his head while Kakuzu slapped him upside the head and just rolled his eyes. Itachi and Kisame were just standing there still and just not really looking interested in anything. Deidara was glaring though at me, and perhaps it was because I had killed off Sasori. "What the fuck is your problem Blondie?"

Deidara seemed to glare even harder at the nickname I had given him, while in the background Hidan was laughing, Kisame was snickering, and Itachi and Kakuzu were smirking at the man/woman in question. The she-male then said, "You killed Sasori-Danna, and left me with a new partner who is a sugar-crazed 5 year old!"

"Oh, so that's what this is about, me killing that pile of wood. Well he was going to kill me so I see nothing wrong with it. So get over this little grudge, I didn't assign you your new partner, now did I? NO, so get over it cause it really isn't all my fault," I said to the blonde, I turned to Kakuzu and on cue he hit Hidan again, I could get along with him just fine, he seemed to realize like me that beating up Hidan was a great stress reliever and a shit-load of fun. "All of you. GET OUT OF MY HOTEL ROOM!"

Itachi was the one who stepped forward this time and said, "Kunoichi, we have gotten orders from our leader to give you an invitation into the Akatsuki. Your medical and fighting skill would be a great asset to the organization. But of course we can always just kidnap you and bring you back to the organization until you agree to be a loyal member."

I looked at the people behind him and saw them all role their eyes at Itachi's straight laced attitude. I then looked Itachi directly in the eyes-I wasn't afraid of the Sharingan, or 72 hours of pain-and said, "What benefits would I get in return for joining your organization? And there are plenty of medics out there, why not just get one of them? Besides I like my life on the road, and I already have enough people after me back at home, I don't think I want the rest of the Shinobi nations after me."

"How about revenge on all of those people back in Konoha that thought you were weak. Wouldn't you like to get back at them and shoe them that you are actually strong enough to join the strongest organization in the world," Itachi said in a smooth voice with a smirk on his face like he had won. I smirked back, and made it look like I was actually agreeing to his plan.

"Itachi, I have to say…you don't understand me at all," I said dropping the smirk on my face. "I am nothing like your goddamn brother; I just want to live in peace, my own way. I have already forgotten about those traitors. They can do whatever they want as long as they leave me along and I don't have to go back there. So before you go making offers like that again make sure it's what they actually want. Not everybody is like Sas-gay."

The other Akatsuki member all laughed at the joke I had made at Sasuke's sexuality. But Itachi just looked annoyed at what I had said, that I had actually corrected him. "Kunoichi, if you stay alone, your village will find you, beat you, and take you back with them to Konoha. Joining the organization is your only true way of freedom."

"Freedom? Yeah right! Being bound to that organization for life, following its rules, doing jobs when told to, that isn't freedom. That's another cage to hold me back," I said and the others looked shocked at what I had said. And before Itachi could say something again I said, "And as for being alone, I'm not alone, I have Lily with me. Or did you not see her when you crashed in my hotel room? If that's the case then she left early this morning to go do some looking around."

Hidan stared slack jaw and asked, "Are you a lesbian?" He seems thrilled at the prospect; I could pretty much here him chanting in his head 'three-some!' and doing a little dance. I shook my head in disgust at the man and looked at Kakuzu and he this time threw Hidan into the wall.

"No, I am not a lesbian. Besides being a lesbian with Lily would be pretty hard seeing as how—Oh, there you are Lily. I was wondering when you were going to get back," I said in a happy voice to the large tiger that had just come in through the window. She looked at the men in the room while she had a large deer in her mouth-I was thankful the floors were wood-and they just looked back at her. They all seemed a little freaked out at the large cat coming in through the window. Especially Kisame, maybe he was afraid she would eat him for his fish like appearance, and then she just walked over to me.

She laid herself down at my feet and I started to pet her head as she ate and she purred in content.

"See, I'm never alone. I have Lily here with me to keep me company and to fight along side me," I said in a happy voice.

"Kunoichi, like I said we had the second option of just kidnapping you and taking you back to our base. And we would just leave your little friend here," Itachi said. And at those words Lily was up roaring and snarling at Itachi. He seemed kind of shocked that, but it was kind of hard to notice since it was just the slightest raise in the eyebrows and his eyes opening just a little bit. But of course Kisame jumped a little and so did Deidara, and Kakuzu just took a couple steps back up some and Hidan was grinning like a maniac.

I snapped my fingers together and then she came back to me and I was petting her to calm her down saying that it would never happen. She calmed down after a while but now sat in front of me guarding their way to me. "Now I want you to tell your leader that I am not interested in his proposition. Tell him that when he comes up with something that I will actually be interested in, then I will think about hid idea of joining your organization. But as of now, I don't want to be apart of the Akatsuki. Now gentlemen it is time I took my leave so, goodbye. I then grabbed my bag and in a swirl of cherry blossoms, lightning, and poison Lily and I were gone.

I was now walking out of the city with my cloak on and had a smirk on my face. I whispered to myself in the morning air, "I'll be seeing you boys later I believe. But until them I will enjoy my freedom. I can't wait to hear your next offer." And in the blink of an eye I was outside the gate running once again with Lily. Covering our scent so as not to be tracked and already had transformed my appearance. This was going to be very interesting.

Sorry for not having Sakura join the Akatsuki right away. But i waned it to be somewhat realistic. I mean not all of the members joined willingly and Sakura in this story is wild and supposed to be untamed. Thats why i gave her lily a tiger because they represent those ideas. I think i will have her meet the Akatsuki again in the next chapter ot run into the Konoha 11 and have a bif fight. NAd then maybe after that i will haveher join the organization in a loose contract.

Tell me what you think! I hope you all like this chapter though. Please Read and Review. And go check out some of my other storied if you want to! I would love to hear your opining on those too.

I will try to update soon!
