Sakura was standing in fighting stance and watching Itachi. When she blinked he was gone and she as quickly turned around and punched a clone that was standing behind her then she spun around and grabbed his hand that had a kunai in it and laughed, "Good trick, but not good enough." She pulled him to her and punched him so hard that she sent him flying crashing into trees.
*Down Under The Training Grounds*
*BANG!*
All of the members jumped a little at hearing the random noise and looked at each other and waited then they heard it again a bit louder this time. "Training grounds." Kakazu said looking up.
"Where is Sakura, Un?" Deidara asked looking around.
"What, where's Itachi?" Kisame asked also looking around, then they all looked at each other and quickly got up going to the training grounds with Pein and Konan in the front. When they got there they saw Sakura and Itachi 10 feet away from each other. They all walked back a bit and sat down to watch the two fight.
*Back to Sakura and Itachi*
Sakura stayed where she was and thought, 'Okay, think Sakura. He's an Uchiha, he is fast, and he is good at long distance and short distance, he can use his eyes to fight so you have to be careful of that. But, remember, you have super strength and can make the ground crumble as far as you wish as long as you focus.' Sakura took a deep breathe and closed her eyes. When Itachi saw Sakura close her eyes he took the chance to run up to her and attack but when he took his 2 step he saw her right arm glow green like her eyes. Sakuras whole right arm was glowing and she opened her eyes and spread her legs and punched the ground hard. As she punched the ground it was like a chain reaction. The ground burst and crumbled towards Itachi. Itachi was fast and quickly jumped into a tree but as soon as his foot touch Sakura pulled the tree out of the ground and slammed it to the ground making it shake. Itachi quickly wiggled his way out but as soon as he did Sakura grabbed his calor she flung him like a rag doll 25 feet away. She pulled out the same scroll from when she was fighting with Kisame. when she had in her had Itachi popped up behind her and kicked her ribs making her fall to the ground. She got up swinging the big axe at him missing him by only an inch. Itachi was breathing hard and strained to watch Sakura and when he saw the axe come at him he was to slow to move and was knocked out.
*The Rest of the members*
They were all surprised that Sakura beat Itachi with out a sweat. They watched as Sakura walked calmly and saw as her axe disappeared. She bent down and poked his cheek. They all got up and walked up to the two. Sakura looked up and put on a fake smile. "Hi guys. What's up?"
"That was one hell of a fucking fight!" Hidan yelled smiling at Sakura.
"Yeah, you kissed his ass without a sweat. You are awesome Sakura." Konan said smiling.
Sakura wasn't saying anything, she looked back down and started to heal Itachi. Itachi woke up and looked at Sakura. "You won."
"Yes. Your healed now." She said with out a single emotion in her voice or any signs of emotion was seen on her face or in her eyes. She got up and walked away leaving the training grounds.
"What's wrong with Saku-chan?" Tobi asked worried.
"Yeah, she won. You would think she would be happy and bragging about it." Sasori said.
They all walked off the grounds and went looking for Sakura. They found her walking to her room. "Sakura." Pein said watching her stop in her tracks looking back.
"Yes?"
"Are you alright?" Konan asked looking at her worried.
Sakura looked at them all and sighed then opened her door and went in and the door slammed shut. When the door slammed they all jumped a little. "She still hurts from the whole Kohana thing." Zetsu said popping up behind them all. They turned around.
"What? Why would she still be hurting?" Hidan asked confused.
"Idiot. She trusted them with her whole being. They betraded her." Zetsu said.
"No." Pein said looking at her door. "It's more than that."
"What do you mean sir?" Konan asked looking at him questioningly."I mean that there is more that she is hurting about." He said, he turned to walk away. "Leave her alone, when she is out of her room get me." He turned the corner and they left the hall way to their own rooms except Zetsu. He went under the ground and into Sakura's room. When he was inside he saw Sakura in a ball on her bed crying.
"Sakura?" Zetsu said her name and when she heard him she jumped up and looked at him and got off the bed and ran out the door. "SAKURA! WAIT!" Zetsu yelled going after Sakura. Every one came out of there rooms and saw Sakura running down the hall to the living room. "Sakura, wait!" He went under ground and popped back up in front of her and she bumped into him. Sakura looked up and saw him.
"Move!" She tried to push him but because she was crying and she was fighting she was a bit to tired and weak to push him out of the way.
Pein walked out and said, "What in the hell is going on out here?" When he saw Sakura standing in front of Zetsu shaking he looked Zetsu dead in the eyes. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing sir. She was running out and I stopped her." Zetsu said tensing up.
Pein looked at Sakura. his voice softened up, "Sakura? Sakura come here." Sakura didn't move a single inch. "Sakura I said to come here now." Sakura sighed and turned around, she walked up to him.
"What do you want?" She said not looking up at him but was looking down at the ground.
Pein sighed and pushed her to the couch and made her sit down. When she was seated he sat down to and everybody else sat down too. When they all sat down Sakura stood up and jumped behind the couch. Pein looked at her and said, "What in the world are you doing sit down now."
Sakura shook her head, "I cant. I just cant." She looked at them all and bent her head and tears started to fall.
"Saku-chan?!" Tobi jumped up and ran to her holding her. "Saku-chan, its okay. Tobi is here." Sakura wrapped her arms around Tobi and cried even more. All of the Akatsuki felt horrible, they all want so bad to help her and make her stop crying.
Tobi picked Sakura up and brung her to where he was and put her in his lap. When Sakura calmed down Konan asked, "Sakura, please tell us what is wrong?"
Sakura took a deep breathe and wiped her eyes. She looked up and saw them all looking at them. She sighed and then looked down at the ground. "It's hard to describe." She said.
"We are here. You don't have to worry, Un." Deidara said reassuringly.
Sakura looked at them all and sighed. "I cant. I hate it so much." She was about to cry till Tobi tightened his gripped and she felt warmth and safety in them. She grabbed his arm and held on tight. "Fine, I'll tell you all." She took a deep breathe and thought, 'I hope they wont think differently of me once they know the truth.'
