"An, issue?" Sakura asked confusedly, before the anger of her situation came back to her, "Like the issue on how you murderers are even alive? If I had my chalkra I'm sure I can change that!"

Sasori glared at the girl. "You are in no position to make threats, girl."

"Them why is it you haven't killed me?" She yelled back at him.

The anger dispersed within Sasori at that moment, along with all impatience in his tone. Sasori sighed, letting his face go calm once more.

"You are the issue, miss Haruno."

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about?" Out of all the things she had expected, this was not one of them. Just what the hell was going on here? Her an issue? What would the Akatsuki want with her of all people? Sure she was a good ninja, but to this extent?

He started to pace for a moment, as if searching for the right words. He then stopped, and leaned on the wall near the table, before crossing his arms."You have powers, that only you can possess. You..." He stopped, looking right at her, "Are the only one left."

Sakura looked at him strangely, as if he was crazy. Thing was though, she knew he already was. Everyone in this place is crazy after all...

"The only one left of what?" She asked suspicious evident in her tone, the quirk in her brow only adding to it.

"That," He smirked, "Is something that Pein will explain, after all, that is the reason we kept you alive miss Haruno."

Sakura blanched,"Then take me there. I've been wondering why the heck you've even kept me alive, since I got here. Seriously... You could've just said that in the first place."

Sasori's smirk dropped, before he growled at the pinkette. "Fine then." He then turned his back and started walking towards the door. Just what was wrong with him? He always got to the point right away. He hated waiting! He didn't understand what this girl could do to him. Things were moving faster than expected, he assumed.

Sakura cleared her throat, as to get his attention. He had forgotten about her terrible condition apparently. Either that, or he really didn't care in the first place. She shrugged to herself, and figured the latter, than the first. After all, he was an Akatsuki.

Sasori turned his head at the sound she made, and narrowed his eyes. Sakura faked a smile at him, "It appears you have forgotten my terrible condition."

Using his chalkra strings he got her out of the bed, with barely a flick of his wrist. "I suppose you can't move without my help, after all," He said in return to her accusation.

Sakura smiled a fake smile, but Sasori no longer faced her.

That arrogant bastard! Why did he have to be the one to talk to her first? She would've thought that Itachi would be the one to speak to her first since he could enter her mind easier than the others, but she had gotten Sasori's ring. Was that the reason?

They walked through dimly lit corridors, not speaking a word to one another. The only sound that could be heard was the eerily silent steps taken by the puppet master, and cherry blossom. Only after a short while though she could hear a whisping sound, that seemed to be the sound that only came when complete silence surrounded a person, but that was not the case. Things were not that silent. Sakura looked around her for a moment looking at her hands, before giving herself a once over. She was dumbfound.

Sasori could sense the free movements that his companion was creating. It was shifting his strings to a certain extent, and it was irritating him. This was one of many reasons that he didn't take to well in using live humans as a puppet, not that he needed to, but he could remember instances back when he was still apart of the Village Hidden in the Sand that he had to. The 3rd Shinobi World War was the most common, but even then, it was a rarity that he actually had to use a living person. Before Sakura, he hadn't done so in years, perhaps even before Akatsuki.

Another shift from Sakura stopped his train of thought of the past life that he had. He stopped abruptly, turning his head to meet the emeralds that stared back at him.

"Would you like to injure yourself more?" He asked with a twinge of annoyance. "Just because the stings help doesn't mean that when their off you'll be entirely better. If anything, extra movement on your part will only worsen your state."

Sakura scoffed, "Because you know so much about the human body."

He smirked darkly at her, giving her a chill that went unnoticed by the puppet master. "Ah, then how exactly do you think I obtained so many human puppets?"

Her eyes widened in realization. Of course he knew at least that much. Sasori was also one of the smartest in the Akatsuki, probably second to the mass murderer of Konoha. Just the thought of Itachi Uchiha gave her an immeasurable amount of rage.

Sakura let herself sigh, trying her best not to just anger her captor even more, despite the need for her to be alive. Getting angry at Sasori for something not even about was probably not going to help anyway. That being said, she still hated him. He was truly a scorpion.

"I see." That was all that she said in return.

Sasori's dark expression was removed almost instantaneously, going back to his usual.

They began to walk again, and the whisping sound returned to her ears, but she didn't ask. That was either for another time, or it was never going to be asked.

They walked only for a short while before they returned to the same door as the other day. It still remained as boringly plain as usual.

Sakura could see the flutter of Sasori's fingers as the door opened. Apparently the man liked to use them as much as possible, Sakura noted randomly. Wasn't that just a waste of chalkra though?

She had expected that the door would creak open, after seeing a many of horror films with Naruto over the years, but her inference was proven wrong. Naruto...He had to be searching for her, he just had to be. She couldn't give up on that hope.

"You've arrived."

The voice was someone that she had met only once before, not too long ago actually, but the memory was hazy. She had fallen into unconsciousness shorty afterwards. A blur of blue there, a twinge of black there. She knew the name though. Konan. Konan Blue. The sole women member of the Akatsuki.

Sasori didn't respond, only sidestepped so that Sakura could see the room fully, or so that Pein and Konan could see her. It didn't really matter to her.

The room was entirely black, but light seemed to be within the room. There desk at the far end of the room that Pein sat in, his ringed violet eyes scanning her non to comfortably. The stare was intense for her, so instead of leaving her gaze there, she looked around the room a bit more. In front of the desk were two couches that faced one another with a small coffee table between them. Konan who was also looking at her stood, standing beside Pein's mahogany desk. The thing that really caught her attention, took her breath away. Behind Pein's desk was a huge moving 3D crimson cloud, and obsidian seemed to seep into the object. It was, in all honestly beautiful, but in the most frightening kind of way.

Her eyes widened at the sight of the bloody red cloud. She couldn't help, but stop and stare.

Sasori turned to the pinkette beside him, the ever flowing red cloud of the Akatsuki reflecting back in her eyes. He smirked slight at her. The cloud of the Akatsuki struck people fear with people everywhere, and here, this kunoichi of Konoha was struck with awe. It was very ironic in full sense of the word, but somehow the awe in her, made him realize something. His connection to the prophecy was getting stronger. That alone made him face his superiors. Whatever was to come was inevitable, but somehow he didn't think of it as he had in the past.

He looked to Pein, his expression was nothing short of impassive. Abruptly, Pein stood his hands remaining on the smooth surface of the wood. He glanced back at Sakura to still find her mesmerized, but only gazing at in with seriousness, as of trying to stall. Sasori flicked his fingers, making her face Pein and Konan, while he did the same.

Pein was the first to speak, "Sakura Haruno, come."

The girl in question stood proudly, letting Sasori pull her along. She wouldn't waver this time. She wouldn't, and she definitely wasn't going to die here, that was not even an option for her. With burning emerald eyes, she spoke to the Leader of the Akatsuki.

"That would be me."

"Do you know why you are here?"

"Sasori never told me anything further than I am apart of the Akatsuki, and that I am here for an issue that involves me, for what though is beyond me, and apparently I am the last one."

Pein turned to Konan, "Gather the others, and bring them here," He then gestured for her and Sasori to follow, "Come with me."

Without question Sasori pulled her along. She could still hear that whisping sound that came with him. She still questioned just what it was, but she was more curious about just why she was here. Finally she would get the answers she has been wondering about since she got here.

They seemed to walk through the cloud, feeling almost like a presence on her, like having a light on your body, for her body seemed to turn just as crimson as the cloud itself. From what she could tell, every part of the cloud was pixels so tiny that they were almost unaccountable.

"What is this thing?" Sakura whispered to herself, only to have Sasori answer for her.

"This thing as you call it, is a three demential screen used for going through training simulations, as well as choosing, and/or showing us our mission assignments. It is universal throughout the base. It's like a hologram that can go anywhere within here."

Sakura was amazed, she had never seen anything like it before. "It's beautiful."

Sasori shrugged, nonchalantly. "Call it what you wish."

They kept on walking, Pein leading them from afar. There was so much red, but when they were exiting the hologram, color seeped into her eyes, stinging them momentarily. Sakura rubbed them.

Pein ended up stopping thirty feet away from the hologram, facing it. The two walked up beside him.

Pein regarded her with a certain thoughtfulness that she never thought she would see on him. "You are the last in the Haruno Clan, but there no jutsu's that you learned that came with you family."

Sakura narrowed her eyes, "What are you talking about?"

Pein's gaze traveled to the eerie hologram that lay ahead of them and brought a hand forward, before swiping it to the right. Sakura watched, transfixed at the screen turned two demential, revealing the Haruno family tree.

Pein gaze turned back to her, "There was some things you never knew about your family, and it's secretive past."

Sakura's grim calmness turning into restless irritation. Just what was he getting at? What did he know about her family that she didn't?

When Sakura was less than fourteen years old, her mother and father had been ransacked by thieves on the way to another small village nearby to visit friends. They never came back, and their bodies never returned. It was a tragic time in her life. Truly terrible. She ended up leaving the Haruno household, and got a small condo instead. The Haruno household was far too large for just herself, especially at that time. Luckily, she had been so consumed in her training with Tsunade that she had barely even think about it. She ended up using all her sadness, and transformed it into motivation to get stronger. It had worked, but the trauma still remained in small doses when she thought about them.

"Tell me," Sakura insisted.

"The Haruno Clan, has always had the bloodlimit of foresight and pastsight. Memories of the past clan members, and visions of anyone in particular, usual of someone's death or of someone's prosperity. It can be anything of anyone really, except of oneself. There is also many different abilities and perks that come with it."

Sakura's brows shot up, and her mouth dropped. "What?" She was in disbelief, before it ventured into anger. She seethed at him, "I don't believe you!"

"That's because your parents or a powerful sealer, ceased your ability. It is now locked away within the expanses of your mind."

"Even if what your saying is true, why wouldn't anyone tell me about this?" Sakura asked challengingly, "You can't say that the ability was that much of a secret!"

Pein's gaze went back to the hologram, before swiping his hand once again. This time it showed the Forbidden Files room door back in Konoha's File Library. Sakura's eyes widened in shock.

Sakura had been within Konoha's File Library rooms many times. The thing was though, the lower you went the less people were allowed to access them. Only certain people in the entire village were allowed to get access into the second-lowest level. She being the student of the former Hokage, and best friend of the current, she has done countless trips back there over the years for paperwork that the Hokage's needed help with. The Forbidden Files room though, only allowed the Hokage, and his or her counsel. She doubted she could even go in there.

Pein's hand shot out further, gaining them entry into the room. "Wait! No, you can't go in there!"

Sakura tried to free herself movement as to stop Pein from what he was doing, only to fall over in dizziness, before just inches were the distance between her pink locks and the obsidian floor. Sasori, had done this as a punishment for trying to free herself, obviously. She growled at the man beside her when the dizziness receded, and was brought back to her feet.

His eyes weren't like before, there was nor amusement or dark intentions. They were dull, the chocolate in them gone, leaving only a shell. Just like the past Sasori. These were the eyes of a puppet that was living life with no sight or reason.

The anger dissolved, only leaving shock. She stared wide eyed at the puppet master. She suddenly felt something ache in her chest, but she couldn't understand why. What was this?

Before he thoughts could expand on the event, Sasori broke the eye contact, and slowly her emeralds descended to the floor. Silence past for a moment, and Sakura felt like she just broke through a barrier. She didn't understand.

"Haruno."

Sakura snapped her head up to meet Pein's violet circles. Before she could reply he turned his head to the hologram. She followed suit.

What she saw shocked her to no end. "What is this?!"

"A decree," Said a velvety voice, that sounded a lot like Sasuke's own, "That states that all Haruno visions are to be sealed, until the next shinobi world war, it was signed even before the second shinobi world war."

Sakura felt like her whole body was about to collapse. That voice, it only belonged one other person, but she knew that he would never be Sasuke. His lone brother. The sole surviving Uchiha. Itachi Uchiha.

Sakura forced her body not to tremble. She was expecting the scarlet that could mean her end, but no, she was met with endless obsidian orbs. Just like Sasuke's ones.

"Ah! So your the fucking last Haruno!" Yelled, a silver haired man, that she knew from records was Hidan.

They stood from left to right. Deidara, Zetsu, Kakuzu, Hidan, Itachi, Kisame, while Konan strode up next beside Pein. There was two missing. Madara Uchiha was not here, nor was Obito Uchiha. One could say that they were one person, since they were the masterminds of the Akatsuki.

"I believe you know everyone here," Droned Pein.

Sakura crossed her arms, looking fiercely at each one of them, before she stopped at Itachi. "With most depressingness, yes, I have."

Deidara seemed to sweat drop at her expression. He just knew that this was not going to end well.

"Where's Madara, or should I say Tobi?" Sakura asked, still staring at Itachi challengingly.

"His whereabouts are unknown. That is why we need you," Sasori spoke for the first time.

Her gaze traveled to Sasori, who was sill standing right next to her. Her raised brows questioned him. "Me?"

"Foresight," Itachi added.

Sakura laughed without amusement, "You expect me to have visions all of a sudden?" She did three-sixty to the Uchiha, and pointed, angrily at the decree, "That ancient thing said that ever since Konoha has been established that foresight is never to be used again! The first person that had it, had it sealed! How am I suddenly suppose to suddenly obtain it?"

"All Haruno's have them, whether it was sealed since those times does not matter."

"Is this some type of jutsu then?" Sakura asked, exasperated.

"No."

"Then-" She started, before Pein interrupted.

"Sasori, it is time."

She turned to Pein again, starting to feel stressed by all the questions she had that were still unanswered, "Time for what?"

Without a second to think, Sasori pushed her towards him, practically crashing into him. His eyes weren't visible with the shadows that cascaded down his face. She didn't understand. What is going on? Why had he done this.

"I will explain and answer everything once this is over with," Sasori whispered to her, still not looking into her eyes.

"What are you doing?" She asked irritated, but before she knew it, his lips had captured hers. It was slow, but grew faster every moment.

Eyes wide, she realized she couldn't move, but not because of the strings or the shock, but something else entirely. She closed her eyes, not focusing on Sasori, but what was happening to her. Blackness was what she was met with at first, but then pictures, flashes of movement. They raced her mind. All sounds outside of her went incoherent.

She could see the decree being written, the Haruno back then looking so sad, but he would've had to have to known that it would live on wouldn't it? She could see generations after generations of different Haruno's and all their lives flashing before her very eyes.

She could see Sasuke's gravesite in Konoha. She could see Tsunade in now, Naruto's desk while Naruto himself, and the rest of Konoha 11 were searching many different places for her. She could see Ino's determined face as she was on the boarder of wind and fire country with her teammates looking for her.

She could see Sasori's past as it flashed past her, and the loneliness that chilled her to the bone came with it. The lost child that killed the Forth Kazekage. She could see Sasuke's loneliness as a child as well that he never told anyone about.

She could see TenTen's and Neji's wedding that was suppose to take place months from now. As well as Shikamaru and Temari's, she could happiness radiating off everyone, and it consumed her for just a second.

She could see Sasori now, as she eyes opened. The kiss had lasted far longer than intended, but perhaps it was...needed. Not that she ever wanted it to happen again.

She pulled away from him, letting herself drop to her knees. Sakura breathed deeply, clutching her ever moving throat. She glared up at the redhead in front of her, as he seemed to be a little overwhelmed himself, brushing his bangs behind his head, letting them fall back against his pale complexion, once again.

"What the hell was that?!" Sakura growled, feeling beyond angered at Sasori, now more than ever before, "If I had any chalkra at all I would kill you!"

Sasori kneeled down to her level, his face back to impassive. She growled at him, seething. "You bastard!"

The next thing that came was something expected, but didn't move away. The slap that Sakura had given him made the rest of the Akatsuki raise their brows. Since when does Sasori allow something like that? Thing was though, they all knew why.

His face burned red, his dully chocolate colored eyes nothing short of acknowledgment, but they were downcast. Sakura couldn't see them.

Sasori stood again, and turned to Pein, who seemed to understand, however little. "Take her back to her chambers."

He never even looked at Sakura as they went back to her room, but before she was left to her thoughts he stopped at her door, but his back was faced to her. "I meant what I said earlier. Deidara shall be the one to tend to you for know until you ask for me. You have questions, and I'm the only one to tell them."

The same whisping sound was there for a moment before the door closed. With that, he left her.

This chapter took me hours to complete, and yes, it is terrible. I'm sorry :(

This story is confusing to write for me, because there's so much to do with it. This story will be very long, and I plan on only updating this story for quite awhile.

I hope you guys enjoy, and yes it has been wayyy too long since I last updated, but don't worry, it'll be much faster now.

Now at page 47.

Please Review!

Ja-ne!
