When Pein walked into Sakura's room every one was already inside standing around Sakura's bed. Pein walked closer to Sakura's bed and saw that she was still laying in bed, but she was staring up at the ceiling.
"Sakura! Tobi is so happy that Saku-chan is awake now!" Tobi said still sitting by Sakura's bed holding her hand. Sakura didn't say anything. Sakura pulled her hand away from Tobi and started to sit up. When Sakura was sitting up she looked around at every one then looked down at herself.
"Hey there pinky. How you feeling?" Kisame asked.
Sakura didn't say anything. "Sakura? Are you all right?" Konan asked looking at Sakura worried.
"Get out." Sakura said with out looking up at any of them. Pein looked at Sakura for a second then looked at every one. They were all looking at him then he turned around and walked out the door, they followed him. When they all left Tobi was the only one still inside sitting by Sakura.
"Saku-chan?" Tobi went to grab her hand but she pulled it away from him.
"I said to get out." Sakura said still looking down.
Tobi stared at Sakura then Pein came back in and grabbed his shoulder, "Tobi, she wants to be alone." Tobi didn't say anything but he got up and dragged his feet as he walked out. "Sorry Sakura. I'll make sure they wont come in here." Pein said and then he walked out closing the door behind him. He walked out to the living room to find every one staring at him. "You all are to leave her alone, if any of you go in her room and bother her then I will personally kick your ass. Understood?" He said looking at them all.
"Hai." they all looked down. "Why doesn't she want to be with us?" Deidara asked quietly but was still heard by every body.
"She heard what her friends said about her behind her back and was betrayed deeply. She doesn't want to be around anyone because she is traumatized about it and wants to think about every thing alone with out being repeatedly asked if she was alright and if she was going to be okay." Pein said staring at Konan who really wanted to go into Sakura's room and talk to her. "Konan that means that you also cant be going into her room." Pein said staring Konan in the eyes.
"Fine."
Pein walked away going to his office leaving everybody to do what ever.
*Days later*
"She's been in her room for 5 days and no matter what we do she wont come out." Konan said sitting on the couch.
"We need to figure something out." Sasori said getting up.
They all looked at each other then went to Sakura's door and started to call out to her saying that they wanted her to come out and hang with them. When she didn't answer they all went to Pein's office. "You need to help us get Sakura out of her room Pein." Pein looked up at them.
"I told you many times that if she doesn't come out or respond then to leave her alone." Pein said looking back down at his desk with a load of paper work to do.
"Pein-" Deidara was cut of when Pein whipped his head up and stared at him.
"What i say goes and if you have a problem with that then spe-" Pein stopped in mid sentence when he saw Sakura standing behind every body. He stood up. "Sakura."
Everybody turned around and saw her standing there. they all were saying her name and that they were happy that she finally left her room then she said. "Stop it! All of you stop!" She yelled. She whipped her head up and they all saw how red her eyes were then saw the bags under her eyes. "I'm so tired of every body pretending they care so just STOP! I hate it. You all only care about me because I know the deepest darkest secrets of Kohana. And that the Kohana will do anything to get me back so that I don't give away their secrets." Sakura was breathing heavily and looked from face to face and then she saw pity and sadness in their eyes. She snapped, "WHY?! WHY ME?! WHY ARE YOU ALL DOING THIS TO ME!? WHAT HAVE I EVER DONE?!" Sakura broke down and started to cry. "MY WHOLE LIFE WAS CRAP AND THEN I START TO MAKE SOMETHING OF MYSELF THEN... then..." Sakura looks down at the ground. "Why would you all save me? I'm so weak and pathetic!"
"No Sakura! You aren't weak or pathetic! You are strong and you are brave!" Konan said running to Sakura and holding her.
"Saku-chan! Konan is right! Saku-chan is strong and smart and brave! Tobi cares about Saku-chan!" Tobi said running up to her and holding her too.
"Sakura." Pein spoke up and got everybody's attention. "I would like to speak to her alone." Pein said. Every body left Pein's office patting Sakura on the head or the shoulder. When Pein was standing behind his desk he told Sakura to come in and close the door. When she did Pein walked up to her and brung her close to him and hugged her. After a few minutes Pein lifted Sakura up and brung her behind his desk and put her in his lap as he sat down.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked a little confused.
"Trying to comfort you the best way I see fit. And right now I see this being the best way of comforting you." Pein said tightening his grip on Sakura.
Sakura started to relax in his arms, he then started to rub her back and leaned back in his chair. As time moved on he realized that she had fallen asleep in his lap. He got up and walked to his room and layed her down then went back to his office and was blushing. It then went away and he looked out his windows.
'Now what shall we do about those Kohana Ninja's, for hurting the Akatsuki's Cherry Blossom?'
