Sakura was dropped unceremoniously onto the rocky ground of the Akatsuki's new base. She glared at Kakuzu, who ignored her and looked forward at man, who was hidden in the shadows at the moment. She felt a presence behind her and looked up to see Sasuke above her, taking a protective stance. She snorted quietly at his attempt to protect the weakest member of his old squad from a glaring Hidan, who still probably wanted her blood.
"What are you three doing here?" The man asked from the shadows, "And who is that girl on the ground?"
"Leader-sama, We are here because of the girl," Kakuzu said, obviously the spokesperson for the group, "She slaughtered two whole villages and consumed the blood in them, and she managed to defeat Hidan, with little effort."
"I was fucking caught of guard!" Retaliated Hidan angrily, glaring at Kakuzu instead of Sakura.
"Enough," The leader said to Hidan and then looked at Kakuzu, "I am assuming you wish me to initiate her into the Akatsuki?"
"Yes Leader-sama, I believe that she would be a great addition," Kakuzu said bowing slightly.
"Hmmmm, very well" The leader said and then stepped out of the shadows, "I assume by your pink hair and Sasuke's protective stance that you are Haruno Sakura, the one who killed Sasori. I extend to you an invitation to join the Akatsuki organization. Do you accept?"
Sakura looked up at him with a scowl on her face and said, "Why should I, what will you do for me?"
"Hmmmm, it's obvious that you love the taste of blood, if you join us you can consume blood to your heart's content, I suppose I could put you in a team with Hidan, who also loves the slaughter, if you don't mind Kakuzu?"
"Not at all, anything to get rid of that religious freak," Kakuzu said with a scowl.
The leader turned to Sakura waiting for the answer to his request to which she said, "Sure, why not? If I can slaughter whenever I please, I would love to join."
The leader nodded his head and dismissed the others, wishing to talk to Sakura for a while.
Sasuke's POV thingy
Sasuke left the cavern with the other two members of Akatsuki, Kakuzu and Hidan. He still couldn't believe that Sakura had been the one to slaughter both villages singlehandedly, there was no way that the weakling, and annoying fangirl had done that. And what had been with her anger towards him earlier in the village, was it because he had left the village and she was mad for him spurning her, or was it something else entirely.
He 'hned' causing Kakuzu to look at him, but Sasuke just waved away their concern as he branched off to go to the training cavern.
Sakura's POV
Sakura looked at the leader as he dropped her serrated katana next to her and said, "Even though I requested that you join, we must still make sure that you are worth the effort, pick up your sword and then I will summon a creature for you to fight, I will summon five in succession and if you beat all five you may join, if not, you will be dead and it wont matter."
Sakura picked up her blade and looked at him, he preformed a few seals and then summoned a large bull, which charged at Sakura. She dodged at the last minute and dragged her katana along the bull's side as it passed her by. She then jumped at it and plunged the sword into the Bull's back. The bull let out a whine of agony and fell to the ground before poofing back to wherever it came from.
Sakura stood and was raked along the back by a pair of claws. She spun and saw a white tiger pouncing on her. She dived underneath it and rolled wincing at the pain in her back. She stood and turned charging her fist with chakra as the tiger ran at her. When it got close to her Sakura thrust her fist into the ground causing the tiger to go flying back and hit the wall with a sickening thud, then it poofed backa s well.
Sakura beat the next two with ease, an eagle and a snake. She spun to look at the leader just as he finished the next summoning jutsu, the hall grew dark as a massive scaled creature with wings appeared. Sakura paled slightly as she looked up at the dragon and watched as it's head lunged down to snap her up.
