Sakura woke up and saw Kisame sleeping. She laughed to her self and went up to him and said, "You fell asleep again." Kisame just groaned and said 5 more minutes. "Kisame wake up." After Sakura kicked Kisame in the ribs he woke up and started to grumble. "Oh stop whining Sushi."
"I'm so hungry and tired." He said jumping through the trees with Sakura smiling and shaking her head. "At least we're almost there." He said happily.
The rest of the way there they talked of what they would eat and how long they would sleep. Then Kisame said, "There she is!" Sakura whipped her head forward and saw a village. It was Hidden Village of Rain, (Amegakure) Sakura was a little happy because she has always loved water and just loves it when it rains. Sakura started to smile.

"Alright pinky, Leader is right through those doors. Answer all questions honestly and try not to be to much of a smartass alright?" Kisame said still walking by Sakura to the doors.
"Yeah, yeah princess." Sakura said.
Kisame smiled and then stopped right before he opened the doors, he prayed before walking in and saying that he has the target and that she is right behind him. He then moved aside and walked to a wall. The room was dark and Sakura couldn't see anything. Then when she walked in far enough the doors behind her slammed shut, Sakura didn't flinch or move, then when the lights turned on above her she still didn't move, didn't flinch, didn't even blink. She did however look around her but could see much of any thing. "Hello Sakura Haruno. Now that your finally here lets get things started."
Sakura saw a man walk out from the shadows and as soon as he did all of the lights in the room were turned on. Sakura looked around herself and saw the rest of the Akatsuki standing by their partner and they were all along the wall. Sakura started to smile. "What may I ask is so amusing?" Pein said staring at Sakura.
Sakura looked at Pein and said, "What? Oh, nothing I just thought it was funny that everyone is here to say hello for little old me." Sakura said giggling a little and smiling. Every one was shocked to see that Sakura wasn't scared shitless that Pein was only mere feet away and she was just laughing and smiling like nothing was going on.
"If you don't mind but I would like to start talking business now." Pein said sharply looking Sakura in the eyes.
"Oh sure." Sakura said smiling also looking Pein straight in the eyes.
Everyone started to sweat drop. 'How in the hell isn't she scared right now?' everyone was thinking that exactly. "You beat Kisame, but you still decide to come here. Why?"
Sakura stopped smiling and looked Pein right in the face. "Why? Because, I was living in hell, I was miserable and unwanted. I was living a life that didn't belong to me. People never gave me the chance to prove my self to them. They would always push me away. I was tired of it. So when you guys came and was trying to take me I was sincerely happy."
"If you were so happy, then why would you put up a fight? Why didn't you just come when they first told you to walk over and follow them."
Sakura smiled to herself and said, "I thought I would give them the satisfaction that I didn't want to leave. That I, infact, actually wanted to stay." Pein looked at her. "So Boss. What are you going to do with me now? Huh?"
Every ones eyes mine as well as of popped out of their heads after hearing what Sakura just said. Pein though on the inside was smiling. 'So the rumors are true. She really isn't scared that easily. And she is one tough son of a bitch.' "You say that you wanted to leave that place right? Then you are now part of Akatsuki."
"WO, WO, WO! Now I didn't say that I would join you. I only said that I wanted to leave Konoha." Sakura said. Pein looked at her, his eyes widened a little and every ones mouth open. Sakura looked around and saw their reaction and laughed. They all flinched a little and then Sakura said, "I'm kidding!"
Every one looked at their partner then back at Pein. Pein was smiling so big on the inside that if he was smiling on the outside they all would have been shock shitless. "Good. Konan come here." A woman with blue hair and a origami flower in her hair and lip piercing came forth. "Take her to her room and give her, her robe."
"Hai."
