*Sakura's Dream*
Sakura was surrounded by all of her old friends. "Your so weak Sakura! We always have to save you." "Why cant you be Stronger?" "You always get in the way of everything." Sakura crouched down and held her head, "No, no its not true. I'm not weak." Sakura started to cry. They all kept tanting her making her cry even more. Then they disappeared making Sakura look up, when she did she saw the Akatsuki now surrounding her. She was about to stand up till they all started telling her how useless she was.
*Out of Sakura's Dream*
Sakura jumped up, sitting in bed. She looked around and got up to go to the bathroom. When she was splashing her face with water she looked up in the mirror and saw that her eyes were red. She sighed then walked out and looked at her bed then decided to not stay in her room. She walked out to the living room and sat on the couch and turned on the t.v. She felt someone touch her head and she turned around to find Zetsu behind her. "Hello Zetsu."
"Hello Sakura. What you doin up?" Zetsu asked sitting down on the couch.
"Cant sleep. What about you?" Sakura asked looking at Zetsu.
"Same. Tend to stay up all night usually." Zetsu said looking at the t.v.
Sakura and Zetsu were sitting on the couch till Zetsu felt Sakura move. He looked at her, "Sakura?"
Sakura had her knees up to her chin and had a tear coming down her face. "Sakura? Sakura what's wrong?" Zetsu asked getting close to her.
"Nothing." Sakura said being pulled into Zetsu's arms.
"Don't lie. Your crying that means that something is wrong." Zetsu said holding Sakura.
Sakura pushed back and said, "Nothing, I'm going back to bed." Sakura got up and went to her room. She knew that Zetsu was staring at her leave the room. When Sakura was in her room she layed back on her bed and tried to go back to sleep but couldn't. She ended up staying awake all night crying. In the morning Sakura got up and took a cold shower. She got dressed and went out to the kitchen to start to cook breakfast, when she was half way done everybody came in and sat down ready to eat.
"Man that was good." Hidan said standing up.
"Glad you liked it." Sakura said picking up the plates.
"Yeah, really good, Un." Deidara said putting his hand on his stomach. While everyone was sitting at the table Sakura was cleaning up. When she was done and looked at the table and saw that every one left she walked to the living room and saw that every one was sitting and watching t.v. she walked over and sat down on the ground by Tobi. Then Zetsu came up through the ground and sat on the other side of Sakura. After a while Sakura started to get bored and so she got up and walked out of the living room, as she was walking she decided to go to Pein's office. When she was at the door she knocked and heard Pein say, "Come in."
Sakura walked in and Pein looked up, "Is every thing all right?"
"Yeah I was just getting bored watching t.v. and thought that maybe I could help you?" Sakura asked standing in front of Pein's door.
"Why would you need to ask? Of course, I've been sitting in here waiting for you to come in here and help out." Pein said smiling a little.
Sakura was about to smile at him till she looked him in the eyes and said, "So you haven't done any work at all?"
Pein looked back up at Sakura and hesitated before he answered. "N-no, I did do some work. I-I was just... Listen i did do my work all right?" Pein said defensively.
Sakura looked at him and giggled, then walked up to his desk and started to organize the papers. "I was just messing with you Pein."
As Sakura was organizing the papers Pein was watching her, staring at her and was gone in thought because no one has ever called his name since he started the Akatsuki. But hearing her say his name, he felt something inside that he never felt before. "Oi! Are you listening to me?" Sakura asked slamming a book down on his desk catching Pein's attention.
"What? Oh, yeah." Pein said looking back down at his papers blushing a tiny bit. Sakura looked at Pein for a bit then continued to organize and put away.
