Three days later…………

Pein was pushed onto the queen sized bed, much to his pleasure. The kunoichi he was with knew exactly how to use her strength, and when it was to be used.

Beauty, intelligence, strength, power what more can the male species ask for?

A groan escaped his mouth as delicate hands massaged his naked back. He really could get used to this kind of attention. But unfortunate for him he'd only get to have this attention until his mission was over with, & then he'd head back to Ame.

"Pein why is it that I can't keep secrets from you, but you can keep secrets from me?" A gentle voice asked

"I'm not keeping anything from you." Pein stated as got off the bed, turning around he looked at his pink-haired hime.

Only in a black silk rob, if anyone where to walk in on her like this, he'd probably have to kill them, she was his, even if he hadn't marked her as his yet, she was still his. Sasori and Deidara may have seen more of her than this but it was the last time they ever did, he made sure of that already.

"That's not true you haven't told me about how you & Itachi got injured on your way over here?" Sakura asked as she too got off the bed her body smashed against his.

"Sakura it was nothing I told you already; just some rogue-nin that were stupid enough to challenge two high ranking Akatsuki members." Pein replied as he undid her sash.

"So tell me again why you are here in Konoha?" She asked again

"Madara wants us to retrieve a certain ring, and then we'll leave after the wedding reception which is the day after tomorrow if you do not remember." Pein answered.

"And why again are you having me stay here in the Haruno estate with you and Itachi, and in my parents old room no less."

"I told you already, nobody comes over here and shinobi stay away from this part of town since it's the higher class that lives around here and no clans live in the same areas. And as for the bedroom part…….it had the biggest bed." Pein exclaimed

He slid the rob off her body, revealing the creamy tanned skin, and curvaceous structure he worshiped. He pushed her back onto the bed. Pein climbed on top of her, one knee separating her legs. Fingers with black nails grabbed the woman's chin tilting the face up making lips connect with lips in a chaste kiss.

"You're a tease you know." Sakura said as she broke the chaste kiss, fingers already tangled in messy auburn hair.

Pein smirked as he kicked off his boxers.

"Yes but you want this tease." He said slyly

"You're too gorgeous that's why."

"The same goes for you." Pein said as he began to leave wet kisses down her neck.

A moan was elicited from her mouth, and Peins smirk widened. He got on his knees; Sakura's legs wrapped around him as he held her up. Lips connected in a heated kiss. Her nails scratched his back erotically as his lips moved from her lips to her jaw and down to her shoulder. He stopped his ministrations.

"Sakura." Came his velvet voice, calm and firm

Her eyes opened and locked with his indicating that she was listening.

"I haven't marked you yet."

"I know." Came her gentle reply.

He searched her eyes for any signs of regret, finding none he spoke again

"If you allow me to hold your heart, in return let you hold mine." Pein said in husky voice.

Sakura leaned forward, her lips next to his ear; her breath caressed the shell of his ear sensuously.

"You'll have to piece it back together if you want it." Sakura whispered into his ear.

Pushing herself back again she locked eyes with him. Confidence & determination shined in his eyes, it was hard to believe that this man really was the leader of an Organization bent on world domination, which was known for its members being emotionless traitors.

Once again lips were covered with lips, tongues dancing together. Pein laid Sakura down onto the bed her long cherry locks splayed on the pillow. Oxygen wearing thin they broke the heated kiss. Butterfly kisses were placed on her flushed skin, his lips moved down to her shoulder again, licking, and nipping at a certain spot that would be hidden under black ribbon straps when this was over. Nails dug into flesh as canines tore into sensitized skin, a cry of pain and pleasure was let loose from her mouth. He poured his chakra into her wound as he licked the remaining blood off her shoulder. The wound closed, teeth marks were the only signs now, his lips & chin covered with soon to be dry blood. Sakuras nails now covered in a thin layer of blood. Her head fell onto the pillow; she looked up at Pein, as a smile covered her face, at his appearance. Lifting her head back up, a chaste kiss was placed on his lips & her tongue began to pick up the left over blood, soon enough all the blood was gone and she plopped back down onto the pillow.

Pein lowered himself down gently onto her his head nuzzled into the crook of her neck, as she played with his hair.

"You still have to wait." Pein said as he broke the peaceful silence

"And here I was hoping that would turn you on." Sakura stated as she pushed him off her for oxygen.

"I'm very good at controlling myself." Pein replied as he pulled the sheets over the two of them.

"Obviously, I don't think I've ever met a man that could keep himself controlled when there's a naked woman underneath his naked body." Sakura exclaimed as she was pulled into a hard chest with cold metal hitting the flushed skin of her back.

"Well that's because I'm a god." Pein stated as the tip of his nose traced her shoulderbone.

"I'm not even going to respond to that." Sakura replied as she closed her eyes.


The next morning…………….

"So Teme your big days almost here, are you excited?" Naruto asked as he and Sasuke collapsed onto the training grounds.

"I honestly don't know if I am." Sasuke replied

"Why not Teme I mean even I was excited for my wedding probably more than Hinata was……okay maybe not as much as Hinata but it was close."

"Yes but you had a reason for being hyper, the two of you were married on enemy ground, none of us really knew when we would get caught, that's why you were so hyper. But that's not why I'm not excited I just have this feeling like I just can't explain it."

"Do you get this feeling when you're alone with Sakura or when your alone with Karin?"

"With Sakura……….she's not the same anymore, when I agreed to let her stay with me I was hoping that maybe she would go back to her old ways, you know."

"I agree Teme, but the Sakura we knew is dead, she'll never go back to the naive love sick girl we used to know…………..you know what I think it sound like you're regretting you decision of choosing Karin over Sakura."

"I don't regret my decision of choosing Karin, I just can't read her like I used to, I can't sleep because I'm worried about what's going through her head. She lived for me when we were younger & now I don't know what she' living for."

"Sasuke………..I understand you completely but, we can't change the past. If you truly care about her well being then maybe you should confront her."

"Naruto that's highly impossible she barely even comes near me, she acts as though I'm the plague, not to mention I haven't seen her for a couple of days already."

"What do you mean you haven't seen her for a couple of days?"

"Well the last time I saw her she was with Anko on their way to the Haruno Estate, and they never came back, I mean i hear someone enter the house early in the morning but I never catch them in time."

"Hm…………….well then I guess we'll just have to wait and see until tomorrow then. Everbodies talking about how she'll try to kidnapp you during the wedding."

"Hn."


"I need to a dress." Sakura said as she went through her mothers closet.

Pein had just walked into the room to find kimonos, dresses, and skirts thrown all over the room.

"That reminds me Deidara said he had sent you a gift for the wedding, it should be arriving here soon."

"Please tell me it's a dress, I desperately need one." Sakura replied from her side of the room

"I can't tell you what it is, he wouldn't allow anyone to see it, he even threatened the servants that if they said anything to anyone about he'd kill them."

"Did you find anything yet?" Sakura asked as she created clones to start cleaning up the room

"Nothing yet I'm sure the Haruno clan has some kind of record database that dates back into the history of their ancestors."

"Perhaps your right, but the question is where would you hide something as secretive as that?" Sakura asked

Itachi walked into the room just then

"The Uchiha clan kept all their history datatbase in a secret chamber beneath the floorboards of the meeting room."he stated

"Really I never knew that……" Pein said as his mind wondered

The two men looked towards Sakura with large grins speard across their face, immediately Sakura caught onto what they were thinking.

"Oh no, no, no, no, we are not doing anything like that." Sakura said as she waved her hands in front of her.

"It'll only be a few of the homes, and buildings…….." Pein replied

"Yes, but it's my family home, also don't you think it would cause some kind of commotion?" Sakura asked

"Not at all nobody comes around this area." Itachi replied

Three hours later…………

Knock, Knock

Sakura opened the door to find Shizune standing outside

"Konban wa Onii-chan." Sakura said as she allowed Shizune to enter the house

Upon entering, Shizune found the house a complete disaster, almost all of the floor boards had been ripped out, & the furiture had been tossed around the room.

"What happened here?" Shizune said in an hysterical voice

"They happened here." Sakura replied as she pointed to the direction of the dinning room.

Shizune walked in front of Sakura towards the dinning room, as she got closer she could hear poeple moving around. What she saw when she entered made her face turn a bright red.

There standing before her in only the signature black pants, leg wraps, and shoes, with sweat glistening on driping down their bodies was Uchiha Itachi, & the Akatuki leader Pein.

Sakura waved a hand in front of her face, bringing the older kunoichi out of her musings.

"Onii-chan your face has become as red as a cherry." Sakura pointed out

"Honestly are we truly that attractive?" Itachi asked as he stopped what he was doing and watched the older women frozen in shock before them.

"Yes." Sakura answered.

"Sakura perhaps you should take her into another room, at the moment we can't have her knowing stuff that we don't yet."Pein said

"Fine." Sakura answered as she pushed Shizune out of the room

"Shizune-chan, you really shouldn't be that surprised about their amazing physical structure,I mean yeah it's better than most shinobis but think about it most of them are from prostigeous clans." Sakura said

"H-h-hai." Shizune stuttered out

"Anyways what are you here for?"

"This was sent to Hisui-sama room……It was addressed to you though." Shizune said as she handed Sakura a rectangular box with a white card attached to it.

Grabbing the card she opened it to read the blue writing

Sakura-chan-

Itachi once told me one time about how that bitch Karin had stolen your life yeah. Unlike most

Of us, you have the potential to get it back & make it even better yeah. This kimono was

designed by me & created for you and only you yeah. I truly do hope you like it yeah and I'm

positive that all eyes will be on you at that brats wedding yeah. Madara has compared your

beauty to that of a goddess yeah, and I believe that a goddess should always have all eyes on her

yeah at all times yeah……..

-Deidara

Sakura handed the card over to Shizune to read & pulled off the top to the box.

'Deidara if Pein had a jealous streak in him he'd probably kill you for making this.' Sakura thought.


"So did you guys find anything yet?" Sakura asked as she walked back into the destroyed dinning room.

Pein narrowed his eyes at her, irritation written all over his face.

"It's unfortunate but no………we've searched the elders homes, all the shops, your fathers immediate family members homes, & we still have found nothing." Pein replied

"So the two of you destroyed my family's estate, and still found nothing……….should I kill you now, or later?"

"Don't worry by next week the floorboards will be back in place." Itachi said

"So anywhere else they might hide their family history database?" Sakura asked

"Well think where would you hide something was basically a instructions to destroy you clan?" Pein asked

"I'd tattoo it onto my body & destroy the original documents so that no one ever found it." Itachi said

"Well that's a smart idea but my family was cremated." Sakura pointed out.

"What about you Pein where would you hide something that if held in the wrong hands it could destroy you?" Sakura asked

"I'd hide it in the least obvious place."

"Hm……………well you tore the shops apart so their out, everyone that was important or related to someone important ha to be taken out as well………….."

"Who keeps this place cleaned?" Itachi asked out of nowhere.

"That would be the caretaker Nagano Yashio, he usually keeps to himself, so he wont tell anybody about you." Sakura answered.

"Wait how long has he been working here?" Pein asked

"Hm…………..if I remember correctly he's been here since the………..Oh you don't think."

"It's a possibility I mean it would be the last place anyone ever checked." Pein said

"Yes but the question is has anyone checked?" Itachi asked

"Well I guess we have to go see for ourselves." Sakura said as she moved out of the dinning room


Sakura gently knocked on the old wooden door.

"Why don't we just go in?" Itachi asked

"I don't want to be rude……….. he's the only one that knows how to take care of this place as well." Sakura said

"But he works for you, you should be allowed to enter when ever you want since you are not only his employer, but also the heiress to the fortune as well." Pein said

The door opened slowly to reveal an elder man with long white hair, and grayish blue eyes. Wrinkles adorned his face and showed the years he had lived during. He smiled at the sight of the three.

"Ah Sakura-sama what can I do for you?" Yashio asked as he opened the door more.

"Nagono-san I was wondering if maybe before Haruno-san died if he left-

"Sakura-sama you're here about the history about your clan aren't you?" Yashio said as he cut Sakura off

"How did you know?" Itachi asked

"Ah well Katashi-sama told me you'd come looking for them………please come in." Yashio said as he stepped aside to allow the three into his home.

Closing the door he quickly put a barrier around it.

"You know ninjutsu?" Sakura asked

"Of course I came here with your family from Yukigakure everyone back in those days were suppose to know somekind of ninjutsu." Yashio exclaimed

Looking around the room Sakura found the small home to be comfy and the atmosphere calming. Yashio started to walk into a different room, while the three of them waited in the small living room. Coming back he had handed Sakura & Pein two large old books. The leather material was old and aged one had a crystal in in the very middlein an 'O' shape, obviously it was the Haruno clan symbol. While the other had a black crystal formed in two crescent moons, facing in the directions of east & west, while there was two arrows in the middle facing north and south. Sakura traced the black crystal symbol.

"That would be the Kamata clans." Yashio said

Pein looked up at the old man with a question stare.

"Your mother was the only child of the Kamatas head member, like you she was the heiress." He explained

"Oh." Sakura said quietly

"Perhaps I should leave the three of you alone…………if you need me I'll be out doing some errands around the compound." He said before walking over to the door, and leaving.

"So where should we start?" Sakura asked

"I got the Haruno clan, you get the Kamata clan." Pein said

"What do I do?" Itachi asked

"Watch your brother what else, make sure that his fiance really has the ring, just in case." Pein ordered.

"Hai." Itachi said before dissapearing into a flock of crows.

"Well shall we start?" Pein said

"You need to be blood to open them." Sakura said as she eyed the barely noticable hole in the middle of the two arrows.

Pein pulled out a vile of blood, and spilled a small amount onto the dot in the middle of the circle on his book.

"How did you get a vile of my blood?" Sakura asked

"Well when you were unconscious for the first few days, the medic had to do some test on you to see what was wrong so he took a good amount of blood, and Madara said to put any left over blood into our records, and since there was still some left over I kept it just in case." Pein explained

"So you carry a vile of my blood everywhere you go?" Sakura asked

"Hai." Pein said as he nodded his head.

"That's just plain creepy." Sakura stated before she bit into her wrist allowing some of the blood to drop into the small circle in the middle of the two arrows, as she also healed herself.

Opening the book from the back she came to find that it was filled with writing.

"So I by the look on your face the book was also filled." Pein stated

"Yeah...it's odd usually if it's filled there's always a second book but since he didn't give us anymore books than I take it that these are the only one, but why isn't there any blanks for the next head member?" Sakura asked

"Hm, perhaps the clans ways were meant to die with your father and mother, and you were to start a whole new clan, but that makes no sense because that would mean they knew they knew they were going to die, & from what I have researched you were the only one who has been born with the kekki genkai, the last person who was born with it died 85 years ago if not longer." Pein excaimed

"Well I guess the answers to all our questions will be revealed after were done reading."

"Yeah."

six hours later...

Pein finally closed the book, only to find Sakura already done and with her head on the arms couch resting.

"So what did you find?" Pein asked

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"After reading this I'll believe anything."

"Well the first head second head member became the head of the clan when he was only twelve years old, his father took off on him no one knows what happened to him, or why he left, he just vanished. Not only that most of the Kamata clan memebers were prophets, they all died out during the rein of the rebellions which was about two decades ago. my mother was actually born a prophet as well but she kept it hidden because she didn't want to be found out. But it says in here that they were originaly from Nami but the clan just woke up one day in Yuki about eighty years ago. and after that my mother talks about how she meet my father, and how during the last four months when the Haruno clan was still alive children we're disappearing from the clan , all under the age of eleven and then she talk about how she had a vision about what was going to happen to the clan a week before they were slaughtered." Sakura told Pein

"Well that's quite interesting perhaps I've finally found out what you're intuition really is, you were born a prophet."

"No my mother would wrote down that she saw my future, but she never wrote it down, on here it says that when a woman is delivering a child and she sees her childs future during the delivery that means that the child will be born a prophet,when I was born the only thing my mother wrote down that i was born with the Haruno clan kekki genkai, and it says that the only thing she could say when she held me for the first time was that I was perfect." Sakura said.

"Hm, that is interesting."

"So what did you find out?" Sakura asked

"The clan has been able to bring back the dead long before ninjutsu was created, they were Priest.It also said that one of the heads married a woman who was a survivor of the Shinden no Kwan Yin massacre , and that he was the bandit that backed out of the attack of the temple. Also one of the heads talked about a nephew running away afterhe was told the story about the temple...he was never seen or heard from again, he cut off all communications from them, but this was after they had already lost the gift. They claim that their girft was stolen from them by the gods out of jealousy since no god had the powers to bring back the dead. Then your father talks about how they meet the Yondaime and how he convinced them to move here after the massace of their village. They agreed and after that he talks about the buildings the construction on the compound. But then when you were born he talked about how you were born with the symbols of the kekki genkai and that the elders of the clan had took you away from them as soon as you were born to have you blessed. Two days later you were returned, nothing was wrong with you. Then he goes onto to also talk about how children of the clan were disappearing as well. And then the month before the clan was slaughtered he picked out two ANBU members to watch you if anything ever happened.He's been the only person to ever look through the personal files of ANBU members. But then as well it stops their just like your mothers did."

"I forgot one thing to tell you."

"What is that?"

"The founder of the Kamata clan just happens to be the first Rinnegan user."
