Chapter Twelve

We reached the hideout within the next morning. Deidara had fallen asleep driving…what a dumbass. Then we had a crash landing that had a LOT of ninja from the neighboring village after us. Sometimes I wish I just listened to my mom and stayed as a normal citizen. But instead I have to play the 'hero' girl and then get caught by a lot of assholes who turn into animals!

They easily pull me into the building, which happens to look like a normal building, but that doesn't matter. It's what I hear on the inside that matters. The answer to what many may be thinking is screaming.

"YOU JACKASS!!!" a woman, or at least it sounds like a woman, screams out.

"Wait, Konan-chan!" another voice yells as we open the door.

Then hears comes Hidan, the Cursing Priest from Hell! He literally just went right through the wall and now he…is missing his head. Then, "I'm over here, princess."

I look over and I see his head bouncing towards us. He looks pissed. Like, really pissed to the point it looks like he'll shit out golden bricks.

"I have a warning; don't say anything about how she looks. She'll kill you." Hidan's head says as his body picks him up.

We slowly walk farther into the building. Yet I have to say that everyone would reconsider on calling these people the most fearful if they saw what I am seeing now. No joke.

I see a woman standing in the middle of a front room. She has a pink loveseat; she's holding it above her head. Tobi happens to be standing on top of it and is holding a dresser with expensive china in it.

Her hair, shoulder length and blue, is flowing around her. Her blue dress is torn from chakra overuse. It's her skin that catches me by surprise.

It's green.

It's scaly.

It's creepy… ;)

"Holy Shit!" Deidara cries out and then, "Shit is not holy, Deidara."

I turn to the speaker to see a man with hair that screams, "KISS ME!"

He is covered in piercing.

His eyes look like bull's eyes that you through darts at…except that these are like, grey and white…

"Pein-sama…" Sasori whispers as I look at Mr. Snake number 2.

His scales are…I'd rather not say.

"Holy Fucking Shit, leader's pink!" a voice laughs out from behind us as Hidan's body comes in carrying its head in its hands.

The man named Pein just sighs.

It's true, he IS pink. The scales are pink. Like, hot pink with softer pink dots on it.

"What happened, un?" Deidara asks and Konan answers, "I assume this is stage two of the curse."

"There is no way in fucking hell that I am turning into a damn lizard!"

"Get over it, Hidan. Well, at least Kisame doesn't have much to go through…" Kakuzu replies before snickering.

"She's still very…pretty…" I say slowly and Konan turns to look at me with wide eyes.

"Really?" she asks as she tosses the seat behind her.

"Yeah." I answer as I rub the back of my head nervously.

"I'm going to turn into a…snake?" Deidara asks and I turn to see him with devastated eyes.

"Yeah…I turned first since the attacked hit me first. I'm confused since I didn't turn into wolves…" Konan says slowly and a few nod in agreement.

A few of the Akatsuki members stifle a laugh at Pein walks in front of me. He…looks menacing…in a way. Yet I think the pink makes him look…how should I say it…girly?

He sits down on the thrown couch and Konan sits next to him. Everyone else slowly goes to their seats…or what's left of them from the blue-haired woman's rampage. I am left standing in front of this pink man.

"Haruno, Sakura. Welcome to Akatsuki. I was rather hoping to meet you…in a different form, but I wasn't given the option." Pein says as he extends his hand to me and I shake it as I ask, "May I ask a question?"

"Of course." He responds.

"What is the goal of Akatsuki?"

Everyone seems to share a glance before he folds his hands in his lap. I notice the brightly colored nails…colored pink…and he closes his eyes. He then says, "I had a dream. (Sound familiar, ne?) In that dream I was walking on the ocean with nine giant demons at my side. The sea flowed at my command, the trees grew better fruits, and the soil became rich in nutrition.

"I based the goal off the dream. I want to collect the nine demons and revive the world in the image of ME!!!" (Insert evil laughter) Pein answers as he jerks to his feet laughing and his hands held up to the ceiling.

I just stare at him before I say, "That's pathetic."

He stops laughing instantly before slowly turning to look at me. His eyes narrow and he starts to walk towards me. He then retorts, "Has anyone told you that pink hair is pathetic?"

"Uh, yes, someone has. Yet I have to say that pink skin is even worse. Major sign of 'insane criminal giving flowers to his enemies' but don't let that bother you."

"Your forehead is even worse. I think someone needs to put a sign there saying that you are the most pathetic person in the world."

"At least I'm not gay." I retort.

He seems lost for words. Then he slowly says, "I am NOT GAY!!!"

"Then you just give yourself manicures, nail jobs, and stuff like that because manly men do that?" I ask.

"It is part of the outfit." He says calmly.

"In which you made." I say with a shrug.

"You're really annoying." He finally says and I say, "Itachi's little brother can come up with something better then that! And you call yourself leader. HA! You make me laugh!"

He does the 'fish out of water' look before storming out of the room. Everyone starts laughing and I bow. Then Konan says, "I'd watch myself tonight if I wear you."

"Let the pink lizard come." I reply smugly.
