Chapter 4

Realization of Her Missing Peaces

( Did any one notice something familiar in the chapters' names?)

Sakura awoke to the sound of a loud crash. Her eyes fluttered open. Deidara was no where to be found. She yawned a adorable yawn while rubbing her eye. She jumped out of bed and onto the fuzzy warm floor. She sleepily found her way to the door, after stumbling over air a few times.

As she slowly shut the door another crash was heard. On her face showed a confused expression. She slowly walked through the dimly lighted halls of the Akatsuki headquarters. It was a short quiet walk to Sakura, as she saw the crash coming from the kitchen. She slowly opened the door.

Itachi was drunk. He had Deidara in a head lock, while Kisame was laughing wildly. Sasori was watching with bored, unamused eyes. Konan and Pein appeared no where in the room.

Itachi's voice was a rough low growl. " You-hic- think you can -hic- take my-hic- Sakura-chan from me! -hic- Well, THATS -hic- not going to happen!"

Deidara rolled his eyes. " Well, she'd be better off with me than with a drunk like you, un..." He muttered.

" What -hic- did-hic- you SAY?!" Itachi growled.

Deidara was about to speak but was interupted by the scene of the sleepy Sakura. Her hair was messed up in a wild fashion. Her black dress was wrinkled and her eyes were sparkling green jade, even though they were drooping. He blushed slightly as the others noticed his eyes that were fixed on Sakura.

Itachi dropped Deidara and started to walk over to Sakura. Deidara gave Sasori a worried glance as Itachi got closer to Sakura with a smirk on his face. He gently placed his hand on her cheek and Deidara stiffened.

Sakura blushed and smiled. " A-ano...I heard loud noises." A sweeter version of her already beautiful voice said quietly.

Itachi pecked her lips and smirked. " It was just an argument..Deidara will get you some breakfast." He whispered in her ear.

Sakura blushed more shades of red and tried to fine that right words. " H-Hai..." She managed to choke out as Itachi started to walk away. Everyone watched in silence as Itachi left the kitchen.

" I guess I'll get you're breakfast then, un?" Deidara said grinning sheepishly.

IN KONOHA

Sasuke was thrown against a tree and it broke. Neji smirked at his handywork. But then a puff of smoke appeared around Sasuke and he disappeared. Sasuke appeared behind Neji with a Kunai to his kneck. Loud clapping was heard and Aya and the others appeared smiling at Sasuke.

" Thats enough for now. Take a break!" Aya said before walking off with the other senseis.

Hinata giggled and poked the agitated Neji. " Not.A.Word." He growled.

The 4 kids were all sitting on logs eating sweet dumplings. " Ne, Shikamaru? Why are you helping to bring back Sakura...? I never knew you two were close..." Hinata asked at random. Shikimar blinked. " Eh..Well..."

LAST YEAR

A 5 year-old Shikimaru was laying in the grass staring up at the clouds. ' I'm so envious...They get to just float around...'

" Eep!" A small squeak was heard followed by a loud thud. A small pink haired girl was sitting on her butt with her arms outstretch on the ground between her legs. " I-itai!" She complained quietly. Shikimaru chuckled at the girl.

Sakura at once noticed him and blushed but quickly pouted. " You're such a klutz." He chuckled more. " Hmph! At least I'm not LAZY!" She spat back angrily.

Shikimaru grinned and patted to the ground beside him. Sakura eyed the grass suspiciously. " It's not a trap." Shikimaru said after 15 seconds. Sakura nodded and sat layed beside him.

Shikimaru pointed at a cloud. " That one looks like a kunai." Sakura pointed at the one beside it. " That ones a weasel." She giggled. Shikimaru nodded in agreement. " Why'd you come here?" He asked.

Sakura turned to look at him. " Huh? Oh...Its a good spot to watch the clouds."

Shikimaru stared at her in amazement. " W-what?! Is there something on my face?!" Sakura yelled covering her face with her arms. " Thereishuh?ItachitellsmesometimesIleavefoodinmyteethorgetpaintstuckonmyface...healwayssays"Sakura!You'llnever getasensibleguytodateyouifyougoaroundallmessedup!" I guess its true..." Sakura sighed finishing the sentence.

The coners of Shikimaru's mouth twitched and he started to laugh. Sakura crossed her arms and waited for him to stop.

"No-ha- I-its not-haha-That!" Shikimaru chuckled. Sakura pouted. " What is it then?"

"No girl I've ever met likes to watch clouds. I thought you'd be here to devise a plan on how to steal you're mom's makeup!"

Sakura sighed. " Shikimaru Nara...I thought you knew me better than to assume I was normal!"

Shikimaru chuckled. " Sakura..say... will you be my cloud watching partner?"

" Will you be my cloud watching partner?"

" Literally."

" Literally?"

" Sakura..."

" Ok..."

" So meet here everyday before sunset."

" Sure!"

" And we watched clouds at sunset everyday until the time she was taken." Shikimaru finished.

The others stared at him silently for a while.

" YOU WERE ALONE WITH MY SAKURA-CHAN ALL THIS TIME!?" Sasuke yelled.

" OH MY GOD NOT COOL! NOT COOL!" Neji added.

WITH SAKURA

Sakura had just finished eating. ' Heh...silly ninja trix are for villagers!' She giggled remembering the Trixy Puff cereal slogan.

She was going to see Konan so they could go shopping. ' Maybe I could buy a present for ITACHI-KUN!'

A scream was heard. It was rining through the halls and Sakura's Jade orbs widened at the pain filled sound. She ran to Konan and Pein's room and peeked through the door. A old man with blonde hair was shivering in fear on their floor.

" P-please don't kill me! I didn't know this was the Akatsuki's hideout!" He screamed.

Konan looked at him with cold eyes. " Everything comes with consequences. The place you were planning on living in happened to be Pein's castle. You must pay."

" N-no!"

All red.

Itachi was sleeping in his bed. Dreaming.

It was a 13 year old Sakura. " Itachi-kun. Kiss me please!" She whispered.

His dream was interupted with a loud slam oh his bedroom door. " Sakura?" He asked seeing a flash of pink.

Soon she was on his lap sobbing into his black shirt. " K-K-k-konan killed a-a Old man! He was begging B-but!" Sakurawhimpered. Itachi slowly stroked her back. " Its okay..." He soothed.

Sakura kept on crying. " I miss my friends! My family! Sasuke! Mikoto! I wanna go home!" Sakura cried harder into Itachi's shirt.

' home, home, home, home, home, home...' Sakura repeated to her self but the thought was banished by Itachi's words.

" We can never go home." He whispered.

Jades widen. " What?"

It was dinner time in the Akatsuki base and Konan was humming happily while cooking. " Dinner-time!" She yelled happily.

Soon the dining room was filled with everyone but Sakura. " Eh...? Wheres hime?" Kisame questioned. Itachi kept silent as Deidara shrugged. " Bathroom?" Sasori shook his head. " Would she really take this long?"

Konan got angry. " Maybe Kisame gobbled her up!" Deidara teased. " No..No! Itachi raped then killed her!"

" Hn. Deidara is the petifile." Deidara raised a fist. " I'd never hurt Sakura!" Blood tempature rising. " Are you sure Konan didn't crush Hime with frilly pink dresses?" Kisame added.

" GOD DAMMIT SHUT THE HELL UP!! WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?!" Konan yelled. Pein sweatdropped. Itachi sighed. " In her room moping." Konan gasped. " What the...? ITACHI YOU DID RAPE HER! YOU SICK PERVERT!" Konan yelled before running out of the room.

" Yup, Yup I think so.." Deidara nodded. " Told ya so." Kisame added. " Very probable." Sasori agreed.

Konan knocked the door down. " SAKURA DID ITACHI RAPE YOU?!" Konan yelled.

Sakura was laying on her bed staring at the ceiling. " No.."

" Are you going to cry?"

" No?"

" Break out crazy?"

Sakura started laughing. Like crazy.

" Oh my god..ITACHI WHAT DRUGS DID YOU GIVE MY DAUGHTER?!" Konan yelled glomping Sakura.

Sakura shook her head and smiled. " Konan..I mean Kaa-san. I'm fine. I'm sad that I left my friends at Konoha..but I'm glad I know everyone here as well. I'll always be friends with them." Sakura said, still smiling.

A small tear left Konan's eye. " OH SAKURA-CHAN YOU'RE SO MENTALLY STRONG! I'M SO PROUD YOU'RE MY DAUGHTER!" Konan yelled rubbing her cheek against Sakura's.

Sakura grinned. " I'm hungry..Whats for dinner?"

" Sakura-chan!"

"Hime!"

" Hn..Sakura."

" Sakura-san..."

Sakura gave them a sly grin. " Ne, will you all train me?"

Konan gasped. What was Sakura thinking?! She was too young! She'd get hurt! But...when she looked into Sakura's eyes the determination she saw slowly, without her complete knowledge, won her over. Apparently everyone was looking to Konan for some approval. She nodded and smiled weakly.

Sakura gasped and hugged Konan. " Thankyou!" She whispered as Konan rubbed her back. Itachi watched the scene silently.

" I'm not training you."

KONOHA

The small group of ninjas were already on their second break time of the day. Hinata was staring at the ground.

" Hinata-chan!" Sakura's voice was ringing through her head. "Hinata-chan! Don't cry for me Hinata-chan! I can take care of myself." She could feel wetness gently slide down her pale cheek. "Hinata-chan..."

" Oi, Hinata!" Naruto called from a distance waving. Had she really been dreaming this long? It all seemed so real is what scared her most.

" Um...coming Naruto-kun!" She replied quickly running towards Naruto.

" Hey you guys!" A sweet voice said.

" Aya!" Ino squealed. The two were abnormally close. Sasuke had a grudge against Ino. He felt it was like betraying Sakura that way. " What is it Aya-sensei?"

Aya smiled. " I just came to tell you all you're improving quite well and should be ready for you're first mission soon!"

The kids gasped excitedly. ' Actually their already as good as normal Chunins...' Aya said seriously in her head. They were improving well. A little too well? It's been 2 days training with Legandary ninja..but to increase so fast? It wasn't normal.

These kids. The ones who were obsessed with finding her young daughter Sakura. Kids who truly loved her daughter. Who would risk their lives for her. Those kids... Were exceptionally special. How lucky Sakura is to know them.

" How Lucky..." She repeated out loud.
