"Dialogue"

Thoughts

Inner Sakura

Where am I?

Jade eyes fluttered open with only the sight of a pitch black room. Our beloved pinkette began rising up from the ground, with an aching back. She looked around, but could see or hear nothing. Suddenly, a light was on her, and she could see shadowy figures surrounding her.

Sakura looked around at all the figures, trying to make out who they could be. Chills were sent down her spine, which angered her and she began shouting at the sitting figures. "Where am I?! What do you want with me, Akatsuki!?"

None of them made any movement as she stood there shouting at them. The dim lights on two of the figures suddenly became brighter, and she could clearly see two Akatsuki members that she immediately recognized. Deidara was sitting there smirking as he checked out her figure, on the other hand, Sasori sat there with a bored expression.

"Hey there, Cutie. Having fun up there?" Deidara winked at the pinkette.

Sasori looked over at his partner and sighed. "Deidara, please just shut up. I have told you many times to stop flirting with the girl."

"Silence." Came a deep voice. All the figures turned their heads towards a figure that had hypnotizing eyes. They were a very light lavender color with rings surrounding the pupil.

"Sakura Haruno. I'm pleased to meet you."

Sakura looked at the figure feeling somewhat intimidated by the voice. When she gained some courage, she began speaking to the figure before her. "H-hello. If I may ask... Why am I here? Why have I been taken by the Akatsuki? I'm not special, so why?"

The figure looked at her in question and began laughing. "Oh, Sakura. How very wrong you are. You may think you aren't special, but you are... You just haven't figured out why you are special. In time you will see, but for now I shall answer your questions. We have merely just taken you into our custody because we are in need of your skills."

"And why would I ever help an organization filled with S-Classed criminals, which, by the way, are trying to hunt down my best friend, who happens to be a jinchuuriki. Please, enlighten me sir." Sakura stood there with her arms crossed as she glared at the mysterious figure.

The eyes of the figure looked very amused at her sassiness. "Why would you ever help us? Well, why wouldn't you? You have no other choice, unless you really want your friend to die."

Sakura's eyes widened in shock. She could never let Naruto die. She should be the one to die, not him. She had no other choice, but to comply. Sakura looked down, not able to face the figure anymore. "What exactly do I have to do for you guys?"

"That's more like it, child. Just the simple things for now, like healing the members and whatnot." The pair of eyes looked around the room and nodded. "That is all for today. Don't forget to make or new medic feel at home."

The figure and its companion disappeared and the lights in the room were turned on. Sakura looked around the room to be surrounded by Akatsuki members. Her eyes stopped on Uchiha Itachi, and she became furious. It was the man who had murdered the Uchiha clan and had made Sasuke go insane with revenge. She could never forgive that man for what he has done to Sasuke.

Sakura felt a tap on her shoulder and instantly turned around to protect herself. "What do you want?!"

"Hey, hey. Calm the fuck down, Pinky. I'm not here to fucking hurt ya, unless you want to be sacrificed to the amazing Jashin-sama."

Sakura looked up to face a man with silver hair that was slicked back. His eyes were a pinkish, purple, reddish, magenta color. (A/N: I'm really sorry, but I had no other way of describing his eyes and I just kind of gave up on describing them, so you guys get this pathetic description of his eyes, which you guys should know anyways.) Before she could study the man more, someone grabbed her shoulders from behind and spun her around.

"Hey there! My name is Tobi! Hi, hi, pretty lady! What's your name?!" Standing before her was an Akatsuki member that... had the voice of a child?

W-wait! WHAT?! Sakura, punch him! He can't be trusted! DO IT NOW!

WHAT?! No, I can't do that, Inner!

BUT-

"Tobi! Get away from her, you idiot!" Deidara came out of no where and punched the orange masked man away from Sakura.

Sakura didn't know how to react to the childish man and Deidara beating the poor guy. She noticed someone walking up to her, and it was none other than Uchiha Itachi himself.

"You are my little brother's teammate. Are you not?" He asked curiously.

Sakura looked cautiously at the older male. "Y-yes. Yes, I am."

Itachi looked at the pinkette and sighed. "There's no need for you to be afraid, Sakura. I won't harm you, so please relax."

There was no way for Sakura to just relax. Standing before her was an S-Class criminal that slaughtered his entire clan, which was filled with many strong ninja. How could she not be afraid? All Sakura wanted to do was just go back home to her family, and to just spend time with her friends. She wished that all of this was just a dream, but this was way too real for it to be a dream.

From the corner of her eye, she noticed a man with a piece of cloth that masked his face. He was sitting there, intently counting a bunch of money. Turning her head to the side, she could see the silver-haired male grinning at the sight of Deidara continuously beating on the poor orange-masked man. It seemed as if he wanted to join in. Again, turning her head, she saw Sasori talking to this plant-like male that was half black and half white. A shark man came out of nowhere and slung his arm around Sakura's shoulder. He was massive compared to Sakura.

"Yo, Pinky. The name's Kisame. It's nice to finally have a girl around. This dump could use a woman's touch." The man grinned and Sakura could see his pointy, razor sharp teeth. As Sakura continued to stare at the man she thought to herself on how he managed to talk without cutting his tongue.

Out of the blue, I flying tobi was sent across the room.

"SENPAI! Why are you abusing me!? Pretty lady, help me!" The masked man, named Tobi, suddenly clung onto Sakura's leg. Sakura sweat dropped at this.

Well... At least this will be an interesting experience. Right, Inner?...

Can you just kick this thing off our leg already? He's really annoying.

Sakura sighed. What did I do to get myself into such a mess?

Hey guys! Sorry this is an extremely late update. My laptop has been acting really funky so I'm using my parents old, dinosaur desktop. /le sigh~ Well here's the new chapter that I actually wrote up two weeks ago , but didn't feel like uploading yet. Hope you guys liked it! Read and review!

OH! I can't forget about my sorry excuse for describing Hidan's "beautiful" eyes. I seriously had no way of describing them. I legit went on google and stared at a picture of Hidan for a good half an hour. I gave up because I started pulling out my hair and began talking to myself. I also couldn't waste any time since I had to begin packing for a trip to see my relatives in Philadelphia. Omg. Staring at a picture of an anime character for half an hour is not something I do unless it's a character that is... UMF! No way to describe that either...

Okay! On to looking at reviews and replying to them! (Sorry if I type your username wrong. I'm typing really quickly and I'm not used to my parents' keyboard ._.)

anime-is-my-heart-and-soul: Well, here's the update LOL! I'm glad you're really interested in the story though!. Thanks :D!

im ur misconception: Sorry if you worried about my health. I didn't mean to make it sound bad. I actually get this lingering cough after I'm sick that lasts for like 3 weeks. I'm quite used to it by now though since this has been going on for about a couple years now ;~; It sucks, but like I said I got used to it. I've even gone to the doctors about this mysterious cough, and have been prescribed medicine that only works for a short period. It still doesn't stop that darn cough. Don't worry though. My health is fine and it was just a stupid cough that I normally get /:

Akatsuki freak 911: Thank you very much. Glad that you're enjoying the story ; u ;!

MangaloverX13: Yeah I'm trying my best to finish my rewrites for both Meeting Sasori and Sakura's Return Home. The thing that's really preventing me from doing it is my laptop. /cries forever. And thank you for the compliment. It always gives me more motivation to keep writing ; u ; 3
