They Healed Our Hearts

New Chances

3rd Pov.

It has been 3 months since the girls have joined the Akatsuki and they are starting to show signs of opening up. Every now and again the girls will strike up a conversation with a member, give a small smile, and as time wears on, they are slowly uncurling in their sleep. The girls roommates have taken this as a sign as the girls slowly accepting them and letting their walls fall around them one by one. The guys are ecstatic about this fact considering the only person the girls have really opened up to is Konan. And even then, it's mostly about how idiotic men are and how their a bunch of pigs with legs. As you can guess, the Akatsuki men are not amused.

The main guy they can really tolerate is Itachi and that's because he's Konan's boyfriend and they know he won't try anything against them. And it also pays that he's Sasuke's brother and they can always get a good laugh out of the thought of Sasuke's reaction to them being all buddy-buddy with his brother which is well worth it.

Sakura's Pov.

Me and my sisters were all sitting around a tree in the training grounds as we talked softly about the goings on of the Akatsuki base and any future plans we have.

"I can see Itachi's eyes degrading every day but if we offer him help he may just refuse out of his goddamn pride."Ino growled as she leaned against the tree from her position on one of the branches with her legs extended in front of her as her head lolled back against the tree with her Akatsuki cloak draped over the branch she was sitting on under her.

"He'll refuse because he'll view our offer as pity and than his eyes will continue to worsen." Tenten said calmly as she rolled her kunai across her fingers and chewed a senbon in her mouth as she sat calmly on a branch a little higher than Ino's with her legs swinging back and forth repeatedly over the edge of the branch with her Akatsuki cloak wrapped loosely around her with it unclasped in the front.

"Than while his eyes will continue to worsen Leader-Sama will probably order us to heal his eyes before he looses one of his best men." Temari continued as she leaned against the tree from her standing position next to Tenten with closed eyes as she sensed for any nearby presences and her Akatsuki cloak wrapped around her in the same manner as Tenten's.

"Itachi will still refuse and we will be forced to report back to Leader-Sama without any progress made on his eyes."Hinata stated coolly as she crouched down on the branch in front of Ino as she stared ahead with calculating eyes and her Akatsuki cloak draped over her shoulders.

"Leader-Sama will pressure us to attempt again and this will continue until Leader-Sama's frustration will get the best of him thus he will kick us out of Akatsuki or try to execute us. Thus we will be forced to flee and will lose any chances of making allies with the Akatsuki."I finished as I sat down on the branch above Ino with one leg up to my chest and one hanging off the edge with my Akatsuki cloak draped across the branch next to me. Tenten sighed and stopped twirling the kunai as she deposited it back into her kunai pouch before saying.

"And we can't let that happen. So we'll have to wait until we are positively in the Uchiha's good books before we offer to heal his eyes. But we'll have to prove to him that his visions failing so he'll be able to let go of that damned Uchiha Pride and let us heal him."

"And we'll have to find a way to reassure him of our talents in healing Kekkei Genkai without exposing ours. At least not yet."Hinata pointed out as she looked up at the sky with her bright lavender eyes that seem to glow in the shade of the tree. I simply nodded and closed my eyes to adjust my thought process.

"If we had stayed in Konoha a little longer and had still left we could've convinced them that we learned how to heal Kekkei Genkai through Kakashi or Sasuke but that won't work since we left to early. Not to mention we can't tell them that we copied the Sharingan. That would just give more questions and suspicion that we really don't need."I said as I sighed and rested my head on my knee that's still drawn up to my chest.
