I do not own Naruto
Chapter Two: The Proposal
Sakura woke up in a bed. The sheets were silky to the touch. The room smelled of flowers, she recognized the scent of this flower. It was the scent of a cherry blossom.
Sakura opened her eyes. She was in a relatively large room. The bed seemed to be a queen size, bigger then the bed in her apartment back home. There was two doors to her left. One was opened and she could barely make out with the dim lighting that it must be a bathroom. The other, she suspected to be a closet.
Where am I? Sakura thought to herself, and then it all came rushing back to her. The needle, the poison, Sasori.
She then sensed someone coming. She tensed and reached for a kunai as the person stopped at the door. She couldn't feel her kunai pouch on her hip. She was helpless. The door opened and in stepped a very feminine figure.
"Oh you're awake! Good, Leader-sama would like to see you." The women said as she stepped in further, closing the door behind her.
"Where am I?" Sakura said glaring at the girl but was thankful Sasori hadn't come in.
"You're at the Akatsuki base, I'm Konan. You will find a shower in your bathroom. I'm sure you would want to wash up seeing how you are covered in dirt. There are fresh towels and shampoo and soap as well. If you need anything my room is the last room on the left." Konan said. With that she turned and reached for the door knob.
"I will be back in 20 minutes to bring you to Leader-sama." Konan opened the door and left.
And I thought I was different with my pink hair! Her hair is blue! She was nice though, I like her. I wonder what the Leader of Akatsuki wants with me... Sakura thought to herself.
When she stood up and went to the bathroom she realized Konan was right. She was filthy! Twigs sticking out of her hair dirt all over herself. Sakura quickly undressed and took a nice warm shower.
Sakura didn't take long. She turned the knobs and turned the shower off and went in search of her backpack. She had another spare set of clothes in her storage scroll. She found her backpack placed on a chair next to the rather large dresser and quickly grabbed the scoll and retrieved her clothes.
She was sitting on her bed tieing on her knee high black boots, when Konan knocked once and peeked her head in.
"Are you ready?" She asked sweetly.
"Yes." Sakura replied as she stood up and walked to the door.
"Alright follow me." Konan said as she turned to walk down the hallway.
Sakura followed close behind. As they were walking down the hallway Sakura could hear the booming laughs of somebody. They kept walking only to walk into a very large room. There were two long couches along with recliners. A large T.V was set against the furthest wall with a couch on either side. The carpet between the couches had the signature red clouds of the Akatsuki on it. But what caught Sakura's eye the most was that the infamous S-class criminals of the Akatsuki were sitting on the couches!
"Hey there pinky!" A man who looked like a shark said. He was sitting on the couch furthest away from Sakura.
"What did you just call me fish face?!" Sakura said. She could feel her anger rising at the comment.
"Woah bitch has some balls!" said another member sitting on one of the recliners sharpening his scythe.
Sakura knew their names. She every little thing about these men from reading their files in the Konoha library. She placed her hands on her well-rounded hips and glared daggers at the white-haired man who had just called her a bitch.
"You better watch your mouth Hidan or else." Sakura said calmly.
"How do you know our names?" Kisame said as he cocked his head to the side.
"I know all of you. I'm not dumb." Sakura said rolling her eyes.
"Good," Sakura flinched when she heard the masculine voice behind her.
Sakura slowly turned around only to come face to chest with said voice. Sakura took a couple of steps back and looked up at the man who had come out of nowhere.
"Leader-sama." the men on the couches said in unison as their leader walked around Sakura looking at her up and down.
"Sakura Haruno, I have heard lots about you," the man said
"You have?" Sakura asked
"Why yes my dear, I have watched you for a long time. You have grown since you fought Sasori, and killed him." He said as he stopped and stood in front of her again.
"Pfft, it wasn't that hard." Sakura said as she rolled her eyes.
"Hm" Sasori said
"You know it was very hard and time-consuming bringing him back young Kunoichi," The leader continued.
"Since then I have kept tabs on you and may I say you have grown. Surpassing your teacher. I am impressed young one. And so that leads me to this, join Akatsuki and be our medic and no harm will come to your beloved village along with the Kyuubi vessel."
Sakura's eyes widened a fraction then immediately narrowed again.
"How am I supposed to know that you will leave him alone?" Sakura said through clenched teeth.
"You have my word Miss. Haruno." The leader said
Sakura looked around. Everyone was looking at her with curious eyes.
If it keeps my home safe and Naruto won't be harmed then...then...
"You're still the weak girl I remember!" Sasuke spat out looking at Sakura in disgust.
Sakura shook her head at the aweful memory. She didn't want to think about that anymore.
"Fine." Sakura said out of nowhere. All the men in the room released the breath they didn't realize they were holding.
"Great. For now you can relax and talk with everybody. Once you have gotten comfortable here and I know you won't leave I will start sending you out on missions with the other members. You know where your room is, decorate it as you wish. Your closet is stocked with whatever you need. I am sure you are hungry, the kitchen is right through there." He pointed to his left to a wide doorway.
"Thank you Leader-sama." Sakura said only to be polite.
"Sakura, you can call me Pein." and with that Pein turned around and opened a door that apparently led to his office.
"Wow, he must really like you." Konan said
"What do you mean?" Sakura said turning to look at the blue haired women.
"Before you came, I was the only person allowed to call him that." Konan then left and followed Pein into his office.
Sakura stood there for a moment but soon felt seven pairs of eyes on her. She slowly turned only to be smashed to the ground.
"TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!" shouted a man who wore an orange swirly mask that only had one hole for him to see out of.
"Get off!" Sakura shouted.
"NO TOBI LIKES SAKURA-CHAN! SAKURA-CHAN IS PRETTY!" Tobi shouted as he sat on top of Sakura.
"Tobi! Get off of her!" Deidara yelled.
Unfortunately for Tobi, he didn't have enough time to get off. Sakura pulled her arm back the best she could from her position and punched Tobi right in his face sending him flying and crashing into Hidan.
"What the fuck bitch!? Tobi get the fuck off me!" yelled a pissed off Hidan.
"Damn, girl got some strength," Kisame said as he started laughing. "No wonder Sasori got his ass kicked!"
Sasori rolled his eyes and continued reading his book. Sakura got up and dusted her self off and made her way to the kitchen. She was starved. She started rummaging around the kitchen looking for something to eat. She found some noodles and other things to make her favorite. Home made ramen.
She quietly got to work cutting the vegetables and making the broth when she heard some rustling behind her.
"Whatchya making us un?" she heard Deidara say.
Sakura turned around only to find all seven of the Akatsuki watching her.
"Us?" Sakura asked. "This is for me!" Sakura said and turned back to what she was doing.
"But Pinky we're hungry too!" Kisame said
Sakura turned around again only to see Kisame and Deidara making fake pouty faces at her.
"Okay fine! I'll share!" Sakura said "On one condition though."
The men groaned.
"What would that be bitch?" Hidan said, making Sakura's eye twitch.
"Set the table!" Sakura said with a big smile on her face.
The men rolled their eyes but quickly got to work knowing that their reward would be a warm dinner made by her.
