"So let me get this straight, you want all information to be a surprise for the both of you." Sakura said.
"Yes." came Konans voice
"Suit yourself then."
Sakura moved across the room to the filing cabinet, as Konan fixed her shirt.
"Have you picked out any names yet?"
"Misaki for a girl, Masaru for a boy."
"beautiful names, I heard he finally proposed."
"Yeah he did."
Sakura pulled out a file, writing information down.
"Konan can you tell me the date."
"27th of March."
Sakura stopped writing,turning her attention to Konan.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Has it already been 8 moths since I've been here."
"Yes it has."
"Todays my birthday."
"Thats interesti-Wait what?" Konan asked
"Todays my birthday." Sakura repeated as she put the file back into the drawer, walking back over to the examination table.
"Otanjoobi Omedetoo Sakura-chan."
"Arigato"
"What would you have been doing, if you were back in Konoha?" Konan asked as she sat up on the table.
"Mission most likely, I seem to be doing them alot."
"We're not even that cruel to send you on a mission during your birthday."
"Yeah well it's better than being alonefor your birthday."
"Honestly I wouldn't know I've always had these guys around for my birthday."
"Really, I can't really imagine that."
"Yes well they try their best, so...tell me about Pein." Konan said as her lips twisted into a mischievous smirk.
"He's your partner, I only share a room with him."
"I meant about the kiss."
Sakuras eyes widened a fraction.
"How did you-"
"Hontaru came to me during her break, she saw the two of you throught the window."
"Oh Kami-sama if she saw then who knows who else saw." Sakura said as she collapsed into the chiar besides the table.
"Don't worry no one else saw...so you gonna tell me about it?"
"There's nothing to tell."
"He's the leader of the most powerful oganization, & holder of the Rinnegan, & you're telling me there's nothing to tell!'
"Well I don't know how much did Hontaru see?"
"Everythig."
"Why did you bring this up 3 months after it happened."
"Because now I got you thinking about it."
"I didn't want it."
"From what I was told, it didn't sound like it to me."
"What exactly do you want to know?"
"Is he a good kisser?"
"Amazing."
"Chapped or soft?"
"Rose petal soft."
"His taste?"
"Like plums."
"Pierced or not?"
"Not."
"Funny I thought he would."
"So did I."
"What's wrong?" Konan asked
"Well I don't know I mean no man has ever looked at me like the way he does, I've been goig crazy debating whether or not I should do something, I honestly don't know what he wants, if he's looking for a relationship, or if he just wants to someone to take care of his urges." Sakura explained
"I doubt Pein would use you, if he needed to take care of his urges he'd go to the whore house & find a girl there, but he hasn't since you came here, I know that if he does want to start a relationship, you'll be the luckiest woman ever, he's always treated me like a sister always taking care of me, if he had a lover in his life I'm sure that he would treat her like a princess."Konanreplied
"We should get going, I'm sure Madara would love to know that the baby is fine." Konan continued
"LADY SAKURA, LADY SAKURA"
Sakura turned around only to have Honatru crash into her, causing both of them to fall.
""Lady Sakura, how come you didn't tell anybody today was your birthday!" Hontaru yelled.
"Hontaru keep it down you gonna-"
Sakura could hear doors open & close, the footsteps were almost unnoticeable to anyone untrained.
"Too late." Sakura said
"Pinky what the hell are you doing."
"Sakura-chan how come you didn't tell us today was your birthday, how old are you yeah?"
Sakura sucked in a breathe exhaling slowly. Hontaru was on top of her, screaming in her hair, Kisame was talking as well, stepping on her hair, Deidara was standing on her hair, being loud as well. Sasori and Itachi were on her left side watching the scene unfold.Calmly Sakura began to speak.
"Will the three of you please be quit."
The hallway went silent at the sound of Sakuras calm & gentle voice
"Now that's better. Deidara would you please get off my skirt, Kisame get your foot off my hair."
Both did as told, moving away from the strangely calm hana.
"Hontaru. If you would be so kind GET OFF ME!" Sakura yelled, as Hontaru quickly scrambled off of her, moving to a safe distance.
With grace not many kunoichi held, Sakura quickly got off the floor, before she turned back around to walk to her chambers.
"Sakura-chan, how old are you yeah?"
"19" Sakura said as she continued her way down the long narrow hall.
"Lady Sakura how come you didn't tell anyone.?"
Sakura halted in her steps, quickly she turned around, slowly making her way toward Hontaru. She stopped when she was a foot away, taking in the sight before her.
Hontaru was dressed in a nicely pressed black knee length skirt, a white buttoned up henly shirt, with a collar, black silk slippers; her shoulder length white hair was but in a tight pony tail. But what caught her attention the most was the mark on the right side of her neck. Grasping Hontarus chin with her fingers , she tilted her head the the left. Scanning over the mark, she could see the teeth marks indicating it was a man who did this. Taking her other hand she quickly went over the bite mark quickly healing it before it scarred.
"I didn't tell anyody because i didn't know." Sakura said as she let go of Haontaru, moving past the young Sakura began in a new direction.
"Itachi, you touch her again, I asure you I will not hesitate to hurt you." Sakura said as she walked away
Pein heard a knock the door "com in" he watched as Sakura entered the room, situating herself on the window-sill.
"I understand the baby id healthy." Pein said as he grabbed another plum.
"Wouldn't you want to know everything you could about your child before you brought them into the world?"
"Some people think surprises better are better." Pein retorted.
"(sigh) never mind, I actually came in here to see if there was some way you could keep Itachi away from my pupil."
"What are you so worried about, she 15, she may not look it but she's old enough to take care of herself, you should know the saying 'if they bleed they can breed'"
"That's the problem, she's to young for him, in all reality weather she like it or not, it wrong in every way, n when she realizes she's not ready for everything, it will be too late for her to back out, I just don't want her to put herself in that situation."
"There's never been a rapist in Akatsuki, Madara n myself will never allow it."
"Just because they aren't when you recruit them doesn't mean they wont, it only takes a female."
"Ah"
"..."
"I'll think about it."
"Did you know that Konan is carrying twins."
"That's nice."
"Twin girls."
"Whats the point?"
"If Hontaru ever got impregnated by Itachi there's a 96 chance that it will turn out to be twins, you did know that she came from a long line of twins right...I don't know about you but Uchihas when they're younger wear their emotions on their sleeves, meaning that when they hit puberty, their will be alot of moody, mean, & down right annoying teenagers running around." Sakura explained.
"Fine I'll talk to Itchi."
"Arigato"
Pein threw the remains of his plum away, walking to where Sakura sat "Is this all you do look out windows while you play with your hair?"
"Yup."
Pein quickly grabbed both curtains pulling them together, shutting them.
"Hey I was-"
"You really need a new hobby."
"I've been told."
Sakura got off the window-sill fixing her black skirt & red halter top.
"Todays your birthday."
"Wow, word travels fast around here."
"You could say that...Otanjoobi Omedetoo."
"Arigato."
Pein watched as Sakura walked to his , sitting on top of it., He walked over to stand in front of her.
"Pein why don't you ever where you cloak, when I'm around.?"
"I only where it when I'm in the presence of Madara."
"Ah"
"Sakura do you think of me as Kami or a man?" Pein asked as he locked eyes with Sakura, wrapping her arms around his neck she answered him.
"You're a man, with the ego only Kami-sama should have."
"That doesn't answer my question."
"Well then when I get a better answer I'll let you know."
Wrapping his arms around the cherry blossoms tiny waist, he lowered his head, capturing her lips, he couldn't help but smirk at the instant response he got from her. nibbling on her lower lip for entrance, immediately she opened her mouth. Sakura gasped as her tongue met with his pierced one, pushing Pein off her.
"How long have you had your tongue pierced?"
Pein smirked "For a couple of years now."
"but you weren-"
"I had to take it out n wait for a new one." Pein said before he went back to his previous actions, Sakura moaned into his mouth, Pein regretfully pulled away due to lack of oxygen.
"Pein what am i to you?"
"the woman I'm courting, the Akatsuki hime-sama, my mistress, lover...anything else you can think of."
"Akatsukis hime-sama...when did you come up with that."
"Actually Deidara did, he made a good point, about how for a spy you get treated like a princess...besides Konan is considered a queen since she got with Madara it only makes sense that the woman I choose to be with would be considered the princess." Pein said.
"You know for a man with your reputation you sure do talk alot."
"Konan tells me this quite a bit."
"So you admit you're a human."
"Sakura." Pein growled out
"Danna where are you going yeah?" Deidara asked as he watched Sasori walk out of his room, down the hall.
"None of your business brat."
"Danna I heard that you sound a candidate to replace Hiruko yeah."
"Deidara shut up I'm trying to think."
"Hey Danna what do you think about Sakura-chan yeah?"
"She's just a girl with mediocre skills."
"No I meant as in looks wise yeah."
"Deidara shut up & stop following me." Sasori said as he stopped in his tracks.
"I'm not following you, I have to talk to Pein about something yeah."
The two artist walked down the hall towards theirs leaders study. Haulting in front of the office door. Sasori knocked.
"What!" Peins voice said from the other side.
"Pein-san I need to talk to you about something yeah."
"Can't it wait till later?"
"Not really yeah."
The missed matched partners were about to walk away when they heard a groel , but stopped when they heard a giggle. Putting their ears to the door, the two could hear someone moving around, & shuffling of material. They backed away from the door when they saw the knob begin to move,the door opened, they walked in to find Pein going through his drawers. Turning their gazes to the left where they saw Sakura sitting on the couch that was situated in front of the fire but the back was facing them. Sakura giggled again. Pein looked up & growled againas he went back to his previous actions.
"Sakura-chan you're not looking out a windowyeah, this is a sign of the apocalypse yeah." Deidara said as he pointed an accusing finger at Sakura.
Sasori watched as the pink haired girl pursed her lips into a line, before she began to speak.
"Pein is being a pain saying I need to find a new hobby." Sakura said before she caught a wade of cash thrown at her, she observed it before she began speaking again.
"This is only half."
"So far you've only been half right." Pein said as he leaned on his desk.
"What do you want?" Pein asked as his hardened gaze averted to the two of them.
"Pein I need to send some of the recruits to Iwa to get the herbs for my clay yeah." Deidara aswered.
Peins eyes narrowed as he began to speak. "Sasori I understand that you found a new puppet for your collection, you've probably come to ask me to give you permission to leave Amegakure so you can fetch it." Pein said.
"Hai." Sasori said.
Pein through another wade of cash at Sakura, who caught it effortlessly "Lucky guess." Pein said to Sakura, her green eyes narrowed into slits.
"My intuition is never wrong." Sakura retorted
"Hn."
With that Sakura stormed out of the room, Sasori didn't miss the way Peins eyes softened a bit. Hardened black ringed eyes averted their attention back onto him and his blonde haired companion.
"Deidara, only send two right now, I need to use another one for a mission in Takigakure." Pein said.
"Why don't you use one of Kakazus recruits, mine would be going in blind, they don't even know how to get in Takigakure yeah."
"In all honesty I would prefer using Kakuzus recruits but all of them are dead." Pein announced.
"How'd all of the them die yeah?"
"Konoha & Suna."
"Oh un."
"Besides it's a simple mission Sakura has already drew out a map of the village, and how to enter it." Pein said as he tossed two scrolls at Deidara.
"I don't care which one you choose just make sure the job gets done." Pein said
"Hai un." Deidara said as he bowed and walked out of the room leaving Pein & Sasori alone.
"I'm sending Kisame for you instead, I can't afford for anyone to know you're alive yet."
"Pein I'm highly capable of making sure I won't get caught." Sasori said.
"That's not the point we need to be very cautious right now." Pein replied.
"Kisame will skin him alive just for fun before I even get to turn him." Sasori said as his eyes narrowed
"Leave instructions for him, you're not going."
"You've never been this cautious before what's going on?" Sasori questioned.
"All the recovery bases have been, found, ANBUs from all over, are at every one of the locations." Pein said.
"How'd they found out about them?"
""The Konoha elders had Sakura look out for them on her missions, Kisame, & Zetsus recruits lead her to everyone of them, Not only that but Konoha has finally began their search for her."
"Bakas, do they know they're only recovery bases?"
"No, thankfully they think those are actually bases, but they do know about this base thanks to Jiraiya, they'll be here soon."
"Very well then have Kisame come by my workshop to pick up the instruction on how to handle him."
"I'll be sure to do that." Pein said with a nod indicating for Sasori to leave.
"Ero-sennin guess what happened today." Naruto asked as he walked into the clearing with his newborn son.
""Naruto this is a training ground, it is no place for newborns to be." Jiraiya exclaimed
"Minato wanted to see his grandfather." Naruto said as he pointed at the bundle in his arms.
Jiraiya put his kunai away, and walked over to the two blondes.
"It doesn't cease to amaze me how much he looks like your father." Jiraiya said as he took the four month old from Naruto.
"Just a little paler, and he has his mothers eyes, but other than that from what Tsunade has shown me, he looks exactly the same." The new father said
"So what happened today?" Jiraiya asked as little Minato played with his finger.
"Oh yeah, we were at the Hyuga manor today and the whole time we were there Hiashi kept staring at Minato so when we were about to leave he pulled Hinata aside and told her Minato was going to become strong like me and my father, and our teacher. Can you believe it he called us strong after all this time, he also believes that Minato will grow to be strong how awesome is that!" Naruto said as Jiraiya handed over the baby boy.
"Who did you choose to be the godfather?"
"Sasuke-teme & Karin-chan, who else would I have picked?." Naruto replied.
"I don't approve of them choose someone else."
"Ero-sennin, Sasukes my teammate, my brother I can't just not choose him, besides it doesn't matter if you approve or not." Naruto retorted.
"Trust me Naruto Sasuke won't take care of him the way you think he will, choose someone else."
"There is no-one else." Naruto said. "Kakashi & Shizune." Jiraiya blurted out. "Kakashi will turn him into a perv."
"Kiba & Hinabi." "He'll grow up to smell like dog."
"Shino & that girl he's with." "He'll be too weird."
"Shikamaru & Temari." "He'll be lazy & have moodswings every second of the hour."
"Choji & Ino." "He'll become over-weight & annoying."
"Neji & Tenten." "To arrogant."
"Gai & Kurenai." "Mushroom haircut."
"Lee & that purpled hair girl." "Over-dramatic."
"Gaara & Matsuri." "Too far away from his birthplace."
"Yamato & Anko" "Sadastic & Scary."
"Naruto stop looking on the negative side & look at all the positives, Sasuke will abuse him emotionally, phiscally, & mentally, he's becoming exactly like his father was, just give it some thought, I'd recommend Sai but his you know with Konkuro, & well Sakuras single, unless Itachi has eloped with her then, I'm sure she'd fight tooth & nail to keep Minato with her when you pass."
"Seriously, I thought that Sai was with Sakura this whole time...who would've thought he was gay."
"Yeah I know ...Sakura that girl she's still in love with that bastard...he doesn't know what he missing out on."
"Ero-sennin when are you leaving?"
"The 1st of April."
"Do you think she's still alive?"
"If Itachi didn't find the real scroll then she's alive for sure...if their holding her captive for some reason I'm sure she's found a way to keep herself alive...she's is a kunoichi after all." Jiraiya said.
