Chapter Two: The Akatsuki

Sakura latched on to the back shirt of Kisame's uniform like her life depended on it. Well, her life really depended on it because she was about to get rape by these crazy, lunatic, perverted bastards. She was using the tallest and intimidating senpai as her shield. She yelps when Hidan's hand grips her forearm. Panicking, she blindly kicks him while struggling to stay put behind Kisame. The tall guy couldn't really help her either because Deidara was trying — failing, actually — to move him out of his precious Sakura-chan's way. Kakuzu was rolling his eyes at their stupidity although deep inside, he was pondering whether to take the opportunity to get Sakura or not. Itachi — he was too cool to join in the fray even though he wanted to badly get the rosette as well — settled in giving his best friend his nastiest glare. Konan watched on with an amused face. Sasori openly glared at all of them with the exemption of his precious doll. Zetsu was arguing with himself. Pein sighed at the commotion.

This ruckus continued on until...

"You perverted bastard! I'll teach you how to feel me up! Cha!"

And everyone saw Hidan's face getting repeatedly bash by Sakura's merciless hands. It would have been amusing to watch if Hidan was crying in pain, but nope, he was completely enjoying the pain and the perverted masochist was grinning. Grinning. As in being happy. Noticing his smile, Sakura's anger increases, but she decides to let out her steam by punching the wall nearest to her. The wall cracks and it stretches up into the ceiling. A noticeable fist-shaped dent was imbedded on it.

There was a moment of silence.

"Whoa, Pinky! I knew you were hell'a strong but your strength was in a different level!"

"You're so scary, Sakura-chan, un, but don't worry I still love you!"

"Doll, you might have gotten an injury with how you recklessly punched the wall; however, I am very much impressed."

"That's going to cost a fortune."

"Shut up, you money-hungry-bastard! Bitch did great and could I get another round of your beating?"

"Sakura, my dear, come here, let me check your hand."

"Blossom, are you — That was an amazing punch! — alright?"

"Hidan, shut up. Konan, Itachi, make sure there isn't anything broken with Sakura's hand. Kakuzu, contact a repair man for the damage. The rest of you shut the hell up, you are all giving me a head ache," Pein growled, effectively shutting them all up. You wouldn't really want to scare the leader.

Sakura sighs, feeling a bit guilty for one of the reasons why the Student Council President had a head ache, even if he did not include her for being the reason. Konan was examining her hand while Itachi was at her side, leaning slightly towards her but not touching her.

"There are no broken bones. Just small scratches," the blue-haired lady says.

"I am not really surprised, Konan-senpai," she shrugs.

"Still, you should be more careful, okay?" she scolds her lightly. "Don't lose your temper over Hidan. He's naturally irritating and a jerk."

The rosette giggles, not noticing the male standing beside her melting at the lovely sound she produced, and says, "That's true. Anyway, I guess I should pay for the damage that I —"

"You won't be paying anything," Pein interrupts firmly. He gives her a soft and gentle smile that is only reserved for her and Konan. "I got everything covered and it was not your fault."

She frowns, not liking it one bit. "But —" she attempts to argue, but Itachi squeezes her shoulder, silently telling her not to argue in Pein's decision. He won't change it no matter how much she begs. She pouted, but didn't say anything. She sighs tiredly and briefly wonders how did everything land in here. Oh right, because she was late.

Cue flashback mode.

.

Sakura groans in her sleep when the rays of the sun attack her closed eyes. She blindly grabs for her comforter, but it finally dawns upon her that her favorite blanket was gone. Her eyes snapped open in their own accord and she paled when she saw her mother's stern look while holding her comforter. She blinks her eyes at her.

"Sakura, do you know what time is it now?"

"Um... er..."

"It's 6:45, young lady!" her mother yelled. "Today's Monday and the flag ceremony starts at 7!"

Her emerald-green eyes widened comically and before the older woman could put in another word, her daughter dashed out of her room resembling Flash's speed. The blonde haired woman sighs before arranging her daughter's messy bed. After that, she fishes out her uniform from her closet and puts it on top of the bed. Then, she walks out of the room. She could hear the faint sound of the shower and mentally shake her head.

Meanwhile inside the bathroom, Sakura was scrubbing her body with a body sponge with her one hand while her other hand was busy applying shampoo on her hair. A scowl makes way into her face at the thought of being late for the first time. She didn't want to be late and she was starting to regret watching 10 episodes of Elfen Lied. That anime series was too good especially the gore part. Don't get her wrong, she's not a sadist, she just simply loved the effects and everything.

Anyway, as soon as she finished her bath, she tried to dry herself by blowing her body with hot air coming from the bow dryer. And she was multi-tasking with putting her underwear while blowing herself. Cursing herself, she glares at the wall clock, only for her eyes to bulge out when she reads it: 6:55.

She only had 5 minutes left!

She fastened her buttons, not noticing that she buttoned it in the wrong holes. Her tie was carelessly pulled up and her I.D. was dangling from her wrist. Gathering her things, she hastily dumped them inside her bag and then, she quickly put on her socks and shoes. My goodness, her hair was still a bit wet and it was dripping down on the back of her neck, soaking her uniform. She unplugs the blow dryer and dashes out of her room, rushing downstairs, bidding her mother a goodbye kiss on the cheek, and slamming the door close behind her as she hurried towards the school grounds. It was a good thing that her school wasn't too far away from her house or else she would scream her head off from the bad morning she had.

As she reaches the gate, she stumbles upon two Student Council members, namely: Hoshigaki Kisame and Iwa Deidara. The duo stares at her shamelessly with their mouths hanging open and their expressions as if in disbelief at her appearance. She holds back an annoyed sigh from escaping her lips. She knew she looked horribly, they didn't have to stare at her!

"Well, are you guys going to let me in or not?" she asks, irritated.

Ino's male version snaps out of his shocked state first. "Sakura-chan, what happened to you, un?! And you're late today! You were never late before!"

She growls at the reminder. "I know that, senpai! Will you let me inside so I can go to the infirmary and fix myself?"

Kisame shakes his head before grinning at her, showing her his set of razor sharp teeth, almost identical to that of a shark. "No can do, Pinky. You're late, meaning you'll have to come with us to the Student Council Room."

Now it was her turn to be shocked. "What?"

"Oh, you heard Kisame, un," Deidara grinned. "You'll have to come with us."

"W-What?! Since when do late students go to the Student Council Room?!" she yells while flinching away from their approaching figures. The both of them had identical smirks.

"Oh, you never got late, so you didn't know. Well, since Leader-sama got the position of the president, he changed a few rules with the principal's consent, of course, and so according to the Student HandBook, all late students must stay in the Student Council Room until their missed subject was over," Kisame explains, smirking wider when he witnessed her pretty face getting pale. "So yes, Pinky, you'll be coming with us."

.

After that, they forcibly dragged her to her doom and when they got there, all of the members of the Akatsuki just had to be there. She was cautious at their unbelievably silent disposition and it was good thing because Hidan was the first one to break and immediately pounce on her with a lustful gleam in his pink eyes. She evaded him though by moving to the other side and she dodged yet again another perverted hands coming right at her. She growled at Zetsu's mischievous grin. She uttered a surprised yelp when a pair of arms snaked around her waist and with a quick thinking, she slammed the back of her head to the offender's forehead. She immediately pried off his arms and whirled around, only to see Sasori groaning in pain while clutching his forehead. She let out smirk before giving everyone in the room with a death glare. She made it clear to them. She wasn't going to easily crumble beneath them.

And yeah, the rest are history.
