Chapter 4: Pink Fury

Sakura was laying in her bed reading a medical and herbs book that Zetsu loaned to her when she heard a quiet knock on her door.

"Come in." Sakura said with her nose still buried in her book. She looked up to see Konan standing quietly.

"Oh hi Konan. Is there something you need?" Sakura asked setting the book down.

"Pein wants to see you." Konan said with a small smile. Konan then turned and left.

Sakura got out of bed and left her room. I wonder what Pein wants. Sakura thought to herself. As she got closer to the main area Sakura could hear the T.V going and the light chatter from the other members. Kisame was the first one to see Sakura as she rounded the corner.

"Hey pinky! What are you up to?" Kisame said from his chair.

"Pe- I mean Leader-sama wants to see me.." Sakura said as she turned towards said Leader's office. At this all the Akatsuki members stopped what they were doing and leaned forward in their seats on the couches.

This was the first time that Leader-sama has wanted to talk to her since she has been here.

Sakura quietly walked up to the door and knocked once. She waited until she heard a soft "Come in." and opened the door just wide enough for her to enter.

Sakura was greeted by a massive room. The ceiling had to have been at least 20 feet high! There were shelves upon shelves of scrolls and books of all sorts on either side of her. In front of her there was a massive desk and behind it was the infamous leader of Akatsuki hard at work looking over scrolls upon scrolls but, what really caught her attention was the massive window behind Pein that overlooked the Akatsuki training grounds.

Sakura was to focused on the window and the views to notice that Pein was watching her.

"Ehem...Sakura?" Pein said trying to get her attention.

"What? Oh...heh...I'm sorry. I was admiring the views." Sakura said looking down.

Pein chuckled a bit then motioned for Sakura to take a seat in front of his desk. Sakura walked over and sat on the edge of the chair.

"You have been here for a week now. I think it is time that you show us what you've got. I have seen your medic skills on Tobi but I have yet to see you put up a good fight. So, tomorrow you will fight Hidan...and if you are not killed then you can fight another member." Pein said getting right to the point.

Sakura didn't even flinch. She knew eventually she would have to fight them and she her true strength and prove herself to the leader if she wanted to stay alive.

"Is that all?" Sakura said in a calm voice.

"For now." Pein said with slight amusement.

"What's so funny?" Sakura asked seeing the amusement in Pein's eyes.

Pein was taken aback slightly by her boldness. "Nothing Miss. Haruno. You are free to go."

With that Sakura stood, bowed slightly and walked out the door. Once out she noticed that the T.V has been turned off and all the men were looking at her.

"What did he want un?" Deidara asked.

Sakura smiled and looked right at Hidan.

"I'm fighting your large ass tomorrow baby." Sakura said as she winked at the silver-haired jashinist.

"Oh you are so on you sexy bitch!" Hidan said with a giant smile. Sakura laughed and went and sat down on the couch next to Kisame who proceeded to put a protective arm over her shoulders.

"You better not hurt my pinky asshole." Kisame said pulling Sakura closer to him

"Ha! He better be careful I don't hurt him!" Sakura said with a smile. All the Akatsuki members started laughing at that.

"She's right un. She did kill Sasori!" Deidara said and started laughing again, only to be kicked by Sasori.

"Ow un! What was that for?" Deidara asked as he grabbed his aching side.

"You know what." Sasori said sitting back down.

"Oh yea un. Sasori doesn't like talking about the time he got his ass handed to him by a GIRL!" Deidara said starting a whole new round of laughter.

Everyone was making jokes about the upcoming fight between Hidan and Sakura..except the quiet Uchiha. He was sitting in the reclines with his hands folded in front of his face. He wouldn't admit it but he was slightly worried about the girl. He knows how ruthless Hidan can be but he by far was not doubting the young kunoichi's abilities.

"So what does Hidan baby want for his final dinner?" Sakura said as she stood up to head towards the kitchen.

"How about your sexy ass in my bedroom tonight bitch?" Hidan said with a sexy smile. Sakura rolled her eyes and picked up her pace a little more to get to the kitchen. She didn't want them to see the blush that formed on her face.

Damn he is sexy sometimes! Sakura thought to herself.

"Tobi wants pancakes for dindin!" Tobi yelled from the living room which was soon followed by sounds of agreement from the other members, along with "and bacon...and eggs..."

Sakura rolled her eyes once again and started on making breakfast for dinner. She wouldn't admit it but she has never fought somebody with such strengths as Hidan but she knew she could handle it. She was so ready to strut her stuff.

~ And there is Chapter 4 guys! Hope you all enjoy it! If I finish my AP Biology project quick enough then I will post Chapter 5 The Fight tonight. ~
