CHAPTER FIVE: THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!

A/N: I'm sorry I've been gone for so long, I had a death in the family but chapter 6 should be up soon. This part takes part 9 years after the Akatsuki have left so, here are the ages.

Sakura: 16

Itachi: 18

Kisame: 19

Tobi: 17

Zetsu: 18

Hidan: 17

Kakuzu: 19

Sasori: 17

Deidara: 17

Pein: 19

The alarm clock choked and died as a fist shot out from the cocoon of blankets and smothered it's life force by crushing it into pieces. A mussed pink head emerged, followed by pale limbs that flailed to get balance.

"AW SHIT, I'M LATE FOR SCHOOL!"

And with that, Sakura Haruno was off like a bat out of hell, a blur as she stripped, and shoved on her black leather jacket over her blood red lace cami, her fingerless black gloves and black boots tugged on after gray skinny jeans. She scooped up some toast, shoving it in her mouth and sprinting for the door, but not before tenderly kissing a picture tucked into her wallet of 9 orphaned boys…


"Miss Haruno, so nice of you to join us."

Sakura glared at Kabuto. The boy had been an annoyance, but had left for college, only to return to be the highschool's sole science teacher. He had always disliked Sakura, even before she drugged him and tied him to the flagpole in lace pink panties.

"Sorry Kabuto-sensei!" Sakura trilled sweetly and skipped to her seat, unaware of Kabuto's lingering gaze on her.

She plopped down next to Sasuke, who smirked at her. Sakura sighed, than leaned on her hand, as Kabuto continued his lesson.

Almost too soon, the class was over, and Sakura rushed out of the classroom. She glanced beside her as a little smidgen of fear settled in her stomach. There was something off about Sasuke. Something….dark.

"Forehead!" Sakura sighed, and turned to look at Ino, who was rushing over to the pinkette. "GUESS WHAT HAPPENED!" Ino shouted, shoving her face close to Sakura's.

"Uh, there's a shoe sale?"

"No silly!" Ino squealed. "Sasuke-kun asked me out! And I said yes!"

Sakura's heart dropped as she registered the news. She knew Ino was a little dull, but this…

"Ino, he's playing with you!"

Ino scowled and looked at her friend, who was unnaturally pale.

"God, Forehead, what's WRONG with you!" She shouted, drawing the attention of the passerbys in the hall. "You've always been jealous of me, because Sasuke-kun loves me more than your sorry ass!"

Sakura's temper flared and her Inner took the reins.

"You stupid girl!" she snarled,"Sasuke is heartless, and he's using you! He's been dating that bitch Karin for years and NOW he decides to dump her for you? Grow up Ino, were 16 now, too old for childhood crushes!"

Ino's eyes darted about, looking at the gathered crowd and shouted,

"Just cause you got abandond, dosen't mean Sasuke-kun will leave me!"

Sakura stumbled back, eyes full of tears and fury. Ino knew that losing her boys had hit her hard. They had been her family, and she thought Ino had understood that.

So Sakura spun around and ran to the roofs, where she cried for all of second period.

I miss you guys…


When third period came around, Sakura had hid her tears well enough to give Kakashi some bullshit excuse, and when lunch came, Sakura retreated to the cherry blossom tree in back of the school, resting, and thinking.

Where are you guys?

Do you remember me?

Do you cry at night like I do, the night of our anniversary?

Are you happy?

Are you…dead?

"HEY, Sakura!"

The pinkette's eyes flashed open and she glared at Sasuke and his cronies, Sugeistu and Karin, who was wrapped around his arm. Sakura watched as they stalked closer, towering over her seated form. She rolled her eyes.

Great, just what I needed…

CHA! KICK SAS-GAYS BUTT, OUTER!

Sakura ignored her 'conscience'.

"Why'd you have to go and ruin out prank, Sa-ku-ra~!" whined Sugeistu, who leaned on the sakura tree.

"Because Ino's my friend." Sakura growled. "Even if she's a bitch." And to be honest, Sakura knew that Ino may 'love' Sasuke, but she may have some feelings for a certain dog-obsessed moron…

Karin kicked over Sakura's bag, nearly losing her balance on her 5in stilettos.

"My Saucy-kins never even liked that bitch anyway, he was gonna dump her the night of the dance anyway."

Karin reeled back as Sakura towered over her, eyes flaming. Karin squeaked and jumped behind Sasuke, who looked like he would rather be anywhere but here.

"Shut up, Karin." He drawled. "Are you gonna tell that pink bimbo everything?"

Sakura's eyes flickered for a second to a spot beyond the little group.

"So your saying it's all true?" Sakura demanded.

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Of course it is. What are you, deaf and stupid?"

"No." A shaking voice declared. "She's a good friend."

The group whirled around, and Sakura smirked. Ino stood not even 10 feet away, shaking and crying and glaring at Sasuke like she was about to rip off his head. Which, in Sakura's books, was very good.

"You don't have to worry about breaking up with me Sasuke. I'm dumping you!" Ino shouted.

Sasuke closed in on Ino.

"Baby, don't-"

"Cut the crap, Uchiha." Sakura barked, crossing her arms across her chest. Sasuke scowled and dropped his act.

"Hn." He snorted. "Who'd want to go out with a mindless slag like that?"

Oi…isn't that Karin an even worse mindless slag? Inner puzzled.

Psh, the logic of men…Sakura scoffed.

Apparently though, Ino had taken it to heart. Tears overflowed from the blonde girl's eyes, and with a heaving sob, she tore down the hill, and disappeared around the corner.

Sakura smirked. "How annoy-"A fist flew into his jaw, knocking him clean off his feet. And not just any fist. It was a fist attached to an arm, that came with a face, that was home to a nest of pink hair. In other words, it was Sakura.

"Screw you, Chicken Head!" Sakura screamed over her shoulder, accompanied by a rather rude gesture that would have made his Naruto proud.

He blinked once, than twice, locked in a state of shock

Did I just get beat…by a pink-haired midget?

Sugeitsu was roaring with laughter, tears in his eyes.

"Oh Buddha, that was hilarious! What I wouldn't give-OW! I'M SORR-QUIT IT, KARIN!"


Sakura was running like the hounds of hell (or Kakashi) were chasing her.

She was panting hard, like a fat man who running a marathon, and to be honest, if Ino wasn't by the outdoor pool, she was going to freaking KILL that girl.

We ran around this whole damn school looking for her! Inner roared She better appreciate this!

Sakura swerved to avoid Hinata, who fell back in shock. Luckly, someone caught her. Unluckly, it was Naruto.

"Hinata-chan? Are you okay? Hinata-chan? SAKURA-CHAN, YOU KILLED HINATA-CHAN!"

She cackled and spared a glance over her shoulder. Honestly, Naruto made it to easy-

With a huff, Sakura slammed into a warm brick wall. The wall went down like, well, a pile of bricks. Sakura wheezed, trying to regain her air, and put her hands on the wall to lift herself up.

Oh.

Well.

This was her first time meeting a brick wall with a set of washboard abs.

Blushing something terrible, she jumped of the man (or unnaturally ripped lady) and bowed quickly, offering a hasty "GOMEN!" over her shoulder as she continued her search.

"Was that-?"

"Nah, couldn't be…"

"…Tobi feels violated…"

"Shut it, un!"

A smack was heard, than crying, but Sakura was long gone, hurtling down the hallways.


Sakura pushed open the glass doors, still blushing.

Hawt damn Outer, was the a delicious piece of man-meat…

You don't even know who he is! Sakura protested

I know he's drop dead gorgeous

Shhh! Sakura commanded, finally spotting the sobbing Ino, who was sitting with her feet in the water. She wasn't alone though. Kiba sat next to her, arm around her shoulder, holding her like she was mad of glass.

Awww, how cute~! Inner cooed.

I bet that Dog's just trying to cope a feel…Sakura thought, suspicious.

With the skill of a ninja, she crept forward. Ino had stopped crying and was blushing, huddled into Kiba's chest. He had an unbearably sweet look on his face and he leaned down, as if to whisper something in her ear-

"IS THIS A INAPROPRIATE SITUATION I SEE?" Sakura bellowed.

The both of them jumped, and quickly turned, but were tangled in each others limbs, and with a great splash, they fell into the pool. Sakura howled with laughter, heavy heart lifting.

For a second, I was afraid…she'd leave me…like them…

Ino surfaced first, face an ugly red.

"FOREHEAD!"

Sakura kept laughing.

"Mou…" Ino pouted. "Your such a mean best friend…" Kiba surfaced, spluttering.

"Sakura, that was so unfair, what did I ever do to you?!"

Knowing that it was Ino's roundabout way of apologizing, Sakura let them pull her into the pool too, and laughed when they dunked Kiba. After a few minutes, they all climbed out.

"My shirts ruined!" Ino moaned, wringing out the delicate silk mournfully.

Kiba chuckled.

"You can wear my extra gym shirt." He whistled, and Akumaru came bounding in from his hiding spot, stopping to give the two girls a nuzzle. Kiba scooped him up, that disappeared into the boys lockeroom to grab some clothes.

"Thanks, Forehead." Ino whispered, than gave her a quick hug.

"Anytime, Pig." Sakura whispered back, and Ino ran off after Kiba.

Sakura pulled at the wet fabric off her shirt. Jeez, good thing she hadn't worn white…

An explosion of pain hit her in the back and she dropped to her knees, vision blurring. It soon came back, and when it did, she was staring into Sasuke's furious face.

"You annoying little brat!" He hissed. "You made that ditz dump me. Me, Sasuke Uchiha. I do the dumping, and now I look like a fool." Sugeistu was behind him, looking a little worried.

"Dude, you did only date for an a day…" He tried to comfort. Sasuke whirled on him.

"Even worse! Now everyone will assume-"

Sasuke was cut off my a kick to the knees that sent him tumbling, than another spinning kick to the back of his head, sending him sprawling. Sakura stood over him, cracking her knuckles.

"Don't mess with me." She spat. She turned one her heel, and ducked when Sasuke grabbed for a fistful of her hair, only to be grabbed by Sugeistu, arms twisted behind her painfully. Sasuke stood in front of her, wiping the blood from his mouth, which had curled into a sneer.

She could her Kakashi talking.

"-and this is the pool, usually used by the swim team, but opened after school-" he paused for a second, noticing the brawl, but Sakura couldn't see his expression, as she was facing away and she was blocked from view by Sugeistu's hulking form. Sasuke was lost in a rage, and his fist flew forwards, reading to knock her lights out.

"Fight's on school grounds are heavily encouraged by me, but don't tell the principal that, and-

She casually stomped on her captures foot, than ducked, and she smirked at the resounding smack as Sasuke's fist landed square in his friend's chest, sending the boy to the ground.

"-that would be out resident popular emo kid, Sasuke, and his odd friend whose name eludes me,"

She darted forward, and like lightning, jabbed Sasuke in the stomach. He fell to his knees, and Sakura turned around, smug in her victory. She turned around, and planted a booted foot squarely on Sugeistu's bruised chest, listening in satisfaction to his wheezing.

"And that is Sakura Haruno, our resident bad-ass pinkette."

"Whose top dog now. Bitch?" she bragged.

"Me." Sasuke growled, and before Sakura could react, he grabbed a fistful of her hair, and jerked her back. She gasped, tears filling her eyes at the stinging pain, and was forced to the ground as her ankle twisted underneath her. Her hands rose to her hair, but he just pulled harder, and she whimpered, although her teeth were bared.

THAT LITTLE PANSY ASSED SON OF A-

All thought stopped when she heard voices call out.

"Oi, the only one allowed to fucking touch her is me, got that bastard?"

"Be a good boy, like Tobi!"

"Release Sakura-san, foolish boy."

"Let Kitten go and maybe we'll let you live"

"Don't touch her or I'll rip your fucking hand off."

"If you don't let her go, I'm sure your organs will sell for a good price."

"Don't touch out tenshi-"

"-because she's our doll-"

"-and no one messes with Akatsuki, yeah!"
