The next day ...
Pein opened the doors to the room he and Sakura had slept in to find Sakura leaning over a table in nothing but a loose black robe, her hands gripped the table at it's sides, as it looked like she was about to tear them off, as he got closer he found that her arms and hands were shaking uncontrollably as she held on.
She screamed as she threw everything off of the table at once, the desk tipping over as she did so, about to fall herself, Pein caught her before she could hit the ground.
Her body was hot against his, and her arms were still shaky even as he held her. "What's wrong hime?" He asked as he held her
" .....I .... I need to see Sasori." She said as she got out of his grasp only to fall right back down and into him. She could barely even walk right, he picked her up bridal style carrying her off to the bed.
"You obviously can't go anywhere, just lay down, I'll get Sasori to check you out." Pein said as he laid her onto the bed, throwing covers over her.
"Please hurry, at the moment, he's the only one who knows how to make up healing concoctions." Sakura said as she sat up against the pillows.
"Rest." Pein said as he walked away, closing the door as he did, he leaned against the wooden door, he needed to rest, his mind was in utter stress at the moment. He was still trying to understand the whole 'Keep what you kill.' rule that Nao had told him about. Seems the soldiers, and servants here had weird rules and expectations. Now not only was he gonna have to try to understand that, he was also gonna have to track down Sasori, so he could find out what the hell was wrong with Sakura. Looking down he saw one of the servant girls walking towards him, he would have to make sure they would wear different clothes if he was going to stay here, and use this place for his own ... purposes.
Looking to his right he found a desk against the wall, with paper and pen on top of it, how things just popped up out of nowhere was beyond him, he was gonna have to have Nao explain it to him. He turned back around to find the blonde girl bowing before him, he sighed, Yuu had obviously dominated over all of the women here, just as Nao had said.
"Stand up." He said tiredly, the woman stood up, her head still down as she did, he sighed again. "Look at me." she did as was told.
She had her weird eye technique activated, "Deactivate it." He said. she did as told again, the people here were so obedient.
"Now." He said as he looked her straight in the eyes with his kekki genkai. "Find the red head that came with me, His name is Akasuna no Sasori, tell him that I want him to do an examination on Sakura right now .....and after that I want you to find the blonde that came with me, his name is Deidara I want you to hand him this (Pein turned around and quickly wrote something down on the parchment.) he'll inform you of what to do next." Pein said as he handed her the paper. The girl nodded her head and turned around to look for the two artist.
"Now to find Madara." Pein mumbled under his breath as he turned in a different direction.
Sasori opened the doors to the room Sakura was suppose to be in, walking in he found that Sakura was asleep on the bed, walking towards her he took out a need and grabbed her arm, she stirred and her eyes fluttered open.
"It's about damn time." She said sleepily
"What is it that I'm checking?" Sasori asked annoyed
"There's no need to check anything, I merely need you to make a healing concoction for me-
"What kind?" Sasori asked as he cut her off.
"One for anemia."Sakura said as she lifted her shaky hand and examined it. "A very strong concoction, I can't go back to Konoha like this, or they'll take me off active duty until I can get back on my feet .... and with how it looks, if I do it naturally it could be at the most half a year." Sakura continued.
Sasori stared at her, most kunoichi would want to have a vacation as the sort, especially the women in her position, albeit, none had a lover who just happened to be the leader of the Akatsuki, and was having her spy on her village so they could be one hundred steps ahead of them. Yes many kunoichi in her position would probably kill to keep it that way.
"Very well then, I'll have it done, before we leave ...although it's wont begin to work for a good two hours." He said
"Just hurry I don't wish for Madara to see me like this, he'll just add on to whatever stress Pein already has." She replied.
"You forget that he'll do it to the rest of us as well .... why he likes you so much I don't know." Sasori said as he began to walk away.
Sakura watched and then right when he was about too open the door she spoke. "Where's Deidara-kun?" she asked the man was always right next to her, it was odd that he wasn't this time.
Sasori turned too narrow his eyes at her, it was basically her fault that Deidara was being so ....... insubordinate. "It's unfortunate, but Deidara no longer requires yours or at that my company seeing as now he has your dear cousin Nao taking up his already much wasted time." Sasori said angrily.
" .......Whose Nao?" Sakura asked as she rubbed her head.
Madara stared at the soldiers that were standing in straight lines of ten, he had to admit Yuu was good at dictating, yes that was the perfect word he could think of.
"So tell me Pein, do you think they were manipulated to the point that they would only serve under Yuu or do you think they would help us in our goal?" Madara asked as Pein walked into the room.
"Nao would know that answer seeing as she's worked with them, & should know how each think." Pein replied as he turned his head in the direction of the soldiers.
"What of the little ones?" Konan asked
"They're not children Konan, they're all at least older if not the same age as Sakura." Madara said.
"Then what do we do with those then? some of them are so small that they can't even do a proper warm up without hurting themselves." Konan asked.
"Make them age ... it should be quiet easy, seeing as that this man had found the secret into slowing time down. he should have made it to where he could also make it go faster-
"I don't think he would have left any sort of instructions on how to do it." Pein said
"Hmmm ..... then perhaps Sakura would know some sort of potion that would age them?" Madara asked
"How about we just take them with us?" Itachi asked
Madara looked out at the soldiers that had been gathered and then back at them before he nodded. "Perfect then we'll take all the smaller one's back with us & hopefully they'll age in our world ..... if not we'll split them up & send them to different territories as spies." Madara said.
Pein nodded his head in agreement. "Who'll be in charge of that group then?" He asked
"We'll leave .......Itachi you'll be making sure things get done with these ones." Madara said.
"Hai ....when will we be leaving?" Itachi asked
"Five a.m." Madara replied
"Who will stay here to take help here?" Konan asked
"I'm leaving Deidara and Sasori in charge here .... Deidara has already been informed, have somebody tell Sasori." Madara said
"What of the Konoha shinobi?" Pein asked
"Kisame will be the one to take them back to Konoha ... he'll leave an hour before we do, lets see what more should we take care of .....Ah yes Sakura will return with us to Ame, we need to make it look believable that we had kidnapped her for our own uses, anything else you wish to discuss?" Madara asked lazily.
"How about we discuss the subject of our main goal." Pein said
"Ah yes ....that conversation will begin once again when we are Ame ......well everyone be off on your way, there's much to do." Madara said as he waved them off
Pein turned around to leave when he was out of the room and already a good ways away from the others he allowed himself to wonder the halls, he had the entire layout memorized. Although a layout and the real deal is a completely different story, the layouts never showed any of the traps that were set up or anything at that matter. From the looks of it. it seemed like Yuu made it to where you couldn't make it in, but if you were able to then there was nothing to worry about other than some of the soldiers, no traps, no nothing just empty halls with a few guards walking around.
Making a few more twist and turns he found himself facing the large double doors that belonged to the room he and Sakura were situated in at the moment, he contemplated whether or not he wanted to go in. He was still pissed at the fact that she had been keeping shit from him but, he couldn't just avoid her forever, if he tried then somehow someway his mind would wonder to thoughts about her, torturing him until he finally gave into her.
He sighed, to be completely honest with himself he couldn't blame her for keeping it from him, if her mind worked the way he thought it did, then she had probably planned to tell him what the last stage was when she figured out what it did & what the sacrifices were.
Walking forward he pushed open the large doors to find Sasori at the edge of the bed glaring at Sakura with his arms crossed against his chest. Sakura turned to look at him, her skin was paler than usual, and she looked a bit weary, a small layer of sweat was on her skin and her hair was matted with blood still.
"Sasori leave us." Pein said as he walked further into the room.
Sasori finally turned around and walked out. Sakura watching his every movement, the doors slammed shut and finally her gaze turned to him as he walked over to her.
Sitting down next to her on the bed he grabbed her arm and examined it. "Why haven't you healed yourself?" He asked as he gently touched her cuts.
"I can't." She whispered to him, he lifted a brow in question.
She grabbed his hand with her shaky one and he pushed his chakra into her body, it was a basic examination jutsu in order for people to see what was wrong with the patient.
His eyes widened a bit when he found the problem, her chakra was dangerously low, so low that she shouldn't even be awake at the moment. "Sakura ....you need to sleep, the longer your awake the more energy you'll drain, and your chakra will not be able to restore properly-
"-No I need to be awake right now, if Madara comes and catches me in such a state he'll go mad, and you know-
"-And if he sees how low your chakra is he'll loose it as well you need to sle-
"-I can't and you know it." Sakura cut him off. It was obvious that she would not be complaint with his orders he sighed as he thought of another way. She was right if Madara walked in and found her asleep when she was so sick what he'd do to them all was something nobody would want to think about. Although the same could go if he found her awake and on the verge of death with such low levels of chakra.
The thing about chakra was that unlike blood once you lost so much of it you could have a transfer, chakra you couldn't transfer unless the person was one of the rare onces that had an unlimited amount and was willing to give up so much of their own chakra. Yes he had this but there was only one thing bad about his ....he had the Rinnegan, & mixing his chakra with hers could have dangerous side effects that could lead to fatality.
But ......she was a descendent of the Rikudō Sennin, it was a known fact that chakra was like DNA, there could be a chance that her chakra was capable of fusing with his seeing as one of her ancestors has a similar make-up.
"Of you will not sleep then I'll have to do a chakra infusion, just so Madara doesn't see you with no chakra." Pein said
Sakuras eyes widened quiet a size at the mention of chakra infusion, he wasn't surprised that she knew about such things she was a medic nin, and he was sure she'd heard stories of failed infusions like he had. It was probably that fact alone that terrified her; to do a chakra infusion was easy, making it out alive was the hard part, they didn't suggest chakra infusions because somebody always died after the infusion.
" ......... Pein-
"Sakura your a decendant of the Rikudō Sennin, your chakra should have some kind of similarities as his, and since I have the Rinnegan like he does, the make-up of our chakras should be the same as well-
"But we don't know what could happ-
"-Do you wish to find out what will happen if we don't?" Pein asked. He watched as Sakura bit her lip nervously, leaning forward he captured her lips with his.
Madaras head shot up when he felt Peins chakra flare up, it wasn't an angry flare, or a signaled flare up .... it was indescribable actually, and that was not a good sign.
He stormed out of the book room he was in and hurried down the hall, making a twist here, & a turn there as he did so. he was in front of the large double doors in no time.
Gently as to not interrupt what was going on he pushed open one of the doors, masking his chakra as he did this. Stepping into the room he looked around and froze when his eyes hit the fountain in the room.
inside the fountain, completely nude, although the fountain covered them, Pein sat up against the marble that made up the fountain while Sakura sat ontop of him, her face nuzzled into his neck, her arms were wrapped around Pein neck somewhat lazily, their hair was soaked from the water, and from what he could see their skin was still a bit damp.
"I do hope you have a good reason for interrupting us." Peins said out of nowhere.
He wasn't surprised that Pein had noticed him, what surprised him was that Sakura had said nothing & did nothing, no she wasn't exposed to him, seeing as her body was pressed tightly against Peins and his was shielded by the fountain wall ....although it was almost as if she had expected him to come barging in.
"Your chakra-
"Usually when a person gets quiet excited their chakra will flare up in excitement." Sakura finally spoke although she did not even turn to look at him.
"Ah yes .. How could I have forgotten." Madara said as he scratched his head a bit, they were upto something and he could not figure out what it was.
"If that was all please leave." Pein said as he waved a hand out.
Madara hesitated a moment, before Pein finally turned his head to glare at him, perhaps they weren't up to anything. They could just be enjoying each other for once ....their first time together and he walked in on them, not such a great memory.
He turned around and closed the door softly behind him.
"Is he really gone?" Sakuras muffled voice asked.
"Hai." Pein said as Sakura lifted her head up from his neck, they couldn't afford for Madara to get a good look at her or he could see the signs of her illness, which could cause major damage to his plans.
He kissed her forehead as she tried to break from his embrace, the feel of her heated flesh against his lips stopped her in her tracks.
"It's not fair." Sakura said as she placed her head on his shoulder.
"What's not fair?"
"The fact that I'm sick & now I definately have no chance at-
"-Sakura I wasn't planning on having you after the reception, and even though battle then sex sounds tempting I was much to mad to try at all either." Pein cut off.
Sakura stared at him long and hard as she processed the information. " ..........Are you asexual or something because you've had so many times to have me & you haven't used any of them." Sakura said with a lifted pink brow.
Pein tilted his head back and laughed, it wasn't an insane laugh, or a small chuckle, or even a dark laugh, it was warm and deep, amused, it was probably the sexiest laugh Sakura had ever heard in her life.
The laughing died down and Pein captured her lips in a deep kiss, only to pull away to catch his breathe. "I actually find sex quiet a fun .....activity & enjoy it as well, although .......with you." Pein stopped as his lips moved to her arm caressing the heated flesh that just happened to get hotter.
" .....With you ....for some odd reason I want to know your body, like I know the back of my hand, so when I actually do take you for myself I'll know what to expect." Pein said
"I'd think by now you'd know my body better than even I do." Sakura said as she sighed.
"Perhaps ...... but I also have some other things planned for us, you. You shouldn't rush such occasions, to be quiet honest I'm actually glad that you fell asleep last night because if I had, had you last night, then when I wished to show you something that I've never shown any woman ... not even Konan, then you'd most likely not be able to handle such .....things." Pein said
"To be quiet honest koishii you sound like a little girl that's planning out how she'll loose her virginity to her dream man, that doesn't even exist." Sakura purred out.
Pein smirked as he felt Sakura kiss his neck, she was right he did sound ridiculous but that was fine with him, because in the long run, she'd be happy, & so would he.
"I think we need to get out before we becomes like prunes." Pein said as he moved Sakura off of him.
Five hours later ........
Kisame leaned against the railings of the small faerie, turning around he found Itachi walking towards him.
"Still don't understand why we were sent out so early." Kisame said as his long time partner leaned against the railing next to him.
"Madara wants to make sure that the Konoha shinobi don't wake up when were transporting them back, the sleeping jutsu Konan used on them only lasts for so long." Itachi said
"So we drop off Konoha in Kawa no Kuni then we get to take the midgets to Ame with us right?" Kisame revised
"Hai, with the patroling squads of both Konoha and Suna in the area their bound to be found & sent back to Konoha." Itachi replied
"Oi you think Sakura really has feelings for Pein? or do you think she's just using him and has plans of her own?" Kisame asked
" ........... There's a possibility that she's using him ...... although there's also the possibility that she's truly grown attached to him." Itachi replied carefully.
"So there's a fifty-fifty chance with her .. you think Pein would allow us to test her loyalty?" Kisame asked
"With how protective he's become of her no."
"It's not right." Kisame said.
"If you were deeply attached to someone and people said that they were fake & they wanted to test this person would you allow it?" Itachi asked
" ......Dammit did you really have to get me too think about it?" Kisame asked as he turned and walked away from his long time partner.
Itachi smirked as he crossed his arms, hopefully this would get Sakura to like him more, trust him just a bit with her apprentice.
Sorry I got writers block with this Chapter, but I promise you some good Pein/Sakura stuff in the next Chapter although there's a reason for this story being the rating it is.
