"Wait!" Sakura yelled as she desperately tried to catch up to the dark figure running ahead of her. The figure didn't stop, not even a glance over the shoulder. It felt like she had been running for hours! She felt like she had to catch this person no matter what, but she had no idea why... Finally the two reached a cliff, she had the figure cornered. He had no place else to go. "Who are you?" She asked.... no answer. "Tell me who you are! Why do i feel I have to catch you!?" She yelled. The figure slowly turned his head, glancing over his shoulder. Sakura's eyes widened as she stumbled back, falling. "S-Sasuke...." She whispered. Sasuke jumped off the cliff with a smirk. "SASUKE!" She screamed. Then a huge bird flew up from under the cliff, Sasuke on it's back..... He was gone.
Sakura jumped upright in her bed, gasping for air. She looked around and realized she was in her new room in the Akatsuki base. It was just a dream... She thought with a sigh of relief. She threw on some clothes and walked out into the hallway. She went to the door across the hall, which was Deidara's and Sasori's room, knocked twice, and stood back. In a moment Deidara opened the door, his hair completely down, and shirtless. "Oh, hey Cherry, hm," He greeted with a yawn. Cherry? she thought. Sakura realized he was shirtless and blushed slightly. "Um.. Well, i don't really know where to go...." She explained nervously. "Hm? Oh that's right, you don't know your way around yet..."
"Yeah, That's right..."
"Deidara, who is that?" Sasori came up to the door behind Deidara. "It's Cherry, she doesn't know her way around yet, so I'm going to take her to the dining room for breakfast," He explained.
Sakura waited forever out in the hallway for Deidara to get ready. Jeez! He's like a girl, Sakura thought. FINALLY, he came out of the room. "Well, What ya waiting for? I'm starving!" He said, grabbing her hand and pulling her after him. They reached a part of the base that looked somewhat home-like. "Wow... I thought the whole place was a big, tasteless, gray blob...." Sakura said. "Well that's rude, Hm..." Deidara walked over to one of the many doors and opened it. When she walked in, she was surprised to see all the members there. They were all sitting at a long table filled with breakfast food. Itachi walked out of the kitchen area wearing an apron, holding two more plates. "Here's your food..." He said in his usual blunt tone. "Uh....." Sakura stared, dumbfounded. "W-Why are you wearing an apron?" She asked, trying not to laugh. "I'm the only person in this place that can cook anything decent." He explained. Deidara leaned in to whisper something to her. "I wouldn't say anything more about it... The first time Hidan saw it he busted out laughing..... He spent the next 72 hours in hell." Sakura nodded. "Well, it looks good on you...." She said with a smile. Itachi turned and started walking into the kitchen. "Was that a blush i saw???" Hidan teased. Itachi shot Hidan an evil glare, Sharingan activated. "Do you wan't to repeat those 72 hours Hidan?" He asked evilly. "N-no sir!" Hidan stuttered. "That's what I thought..." Itachi walked back into the kitchen. Sakura stared after him.
Sakura walked into the kitchen. She walked to the sink and put her dirty plate in it, when she turned around Itachi was standing inches in front of her. Sakura jumped in surprise. "I-Itachi! Don't scare me like that!" She walked around him, but he stopped her by grabbing her arm. He pushed her against the wall, placing his face close to her's, their lips almost met. Sakura stared up into his dark eyes. "I-Itachi?" She breathed. He Started to lean in, sakura closed her eyes but the kiss never came.... Itachi had turned away from her. "I'm sorry....." He whispered before walking out of the kitchen, leaving Sakura alone and confused.
