Watch My Back As I Move On

Chapter 29: Beheaded

Kisame flinched when he heard a snore. "O-oi! Sakura, don't fall asleep! You'll drown!" Kisame said, pulling Sakura up with her shoulders. He sat Sakura down on a rock beside Itachi and let her lean on Itachi's shoulder. Kisame grabbed a hot towel and put it on Sakura's head. Kisame grinned as he leaned back on the rocks. He looked at the two with a grin and whispered to himself. "They don't make a bad couple."

Sakura grunted when Kisame shook her awake. "Kisame?" She asked, rubbing her eyes. "Let's go, it'll be night soon." Kisame said smiling as he handed her the towel. Sakura nodded and took the towel, wrapping it around her figure. The three thanked the old lady, they were about to walk out when the old lady called out for Sakura. "Take care of yourself, alright?" She said, making Sakura smile and nod.

With that, the three returned home. "Ah, Sakura, good thing that you're back, un. Hidan's head fell off, un." Deidara said. "Kakuzu can stitch it back up." Sakura said, raising an eyebrow. "But it was Kakuzu who cut off his head, and now he won't stop cursing." Sasori said. Sakura simply sighed and smiled to herself. "Alright, I'll heal it back on." She said as she walked towards Hidan's room.

"F**k! Get back here you s**ty body!" Sakura heard Hidan shout from three doors away. Sakura chuckled and laughed as she knocked on Hidan's door. "Just f**king break it down or something!" Hidan shouted. Sakura did as she was told and pulled the door out of its hinges with brute strength. "Why the f**k did you do that, b**ch?!" Hidan shouted, staring wide eyes at his now unhinged door. "You told me to break it down!" Sakura shouted, twitching with a nerve popped on her forehead.

"I didn't f**king mean it!" Hidan said as his body fell off a chair. "What the f**k are you doing with your s**ty life, body?!" Hidan asked as his body sat back up. "What did you come here for, b**ch?" Hidan asked. "I came here to put your head back on." Sakura said, grabbing Hidan's head by his hair. "Ow, f**k! Watch the hair!" Hidan shouted. "B**ch." Hidan said, as Sakura put his head on top of His body. "Careful. Or else I'll heal your head backwards." Sakura said, grinning evilly, making Hidan shut up.

Sakura aligned all the nerves with ease and started healing from the vertebrae to the skin, leaving no scar behind. "Not bad, b**ch." Hidan said, rubbing his neck. "Thanks. If you need me, I'll be in my room." Sakura said, smiling as she walked out of the room.

Sakura entered her room and sat on the floor, cross legged. She formed a sign, closed her eyes and started focusing. A few seconds later, chakra engulfed Sakura's figure. "Sakura, dinner." A voice said behind the door as he knocked. Sakura opened her eyes and stood up, walking towards the door.

She opened the door and revealed Itachi waiting for her outside. "Hey." Sakura greeted, smiling as they made their way towards the dining room. "Wait. Who cooked?" Sakura asked, staring at Itachi with wide eyes. "Don't worry. I did." He monotonously said, making Sakura sigh in relief. They entered and saw everyone seated, waiting for the food.

The rest of the night was uneventful, until Pein called Sakura to his office. Sakura was about to knock but she found the door ajar. She took a peek and her eyes immediately adjusted to the dim room. "Pein-sama?" Sakura called out in the room as she stared at his seat when she saw something move around that area. "Sakura, help me refrain this beast." Pein said, lying on the floor as he tried to push away a creature from his face. Sakura turned when she heard the door open. "Oh, Sakura, you're here." A voice said.
