Bossman's Baby Girl

Pein's POV

Iemata laughs humorlessly. "Daddy is so precious to my darling little Sakura. Ne, Daddy dearest? Do you love your baby girl just as much as she loves you?" Iemata looks into my eyes. I close up the fear I know she would be able to see. If there is anyone that you are not suppose to show fear to, it's Iemata. She works best off of fear. It is her power over people's minds and their fear that makes her one of the most dangerous kinds of fighters in the world.

She attacks those with her mind. She is able to attack those who are weaker then her power of will. And if there is anything in the world that Iemata has a lot of, it's will power.

She grins. "What? No? Oh how cruel, Daddy Dearest!"

Her grin falters slightly. I narrow my eyes. Sakura's life force is pushing through the dark pit she was forced into. My baby girl is trying to get out, trying to win. Atta girl.

After the course of quite a few hand signs, accompanyed by my beloved wife. We move in to attack.

Sakura's POV

I open my eyes. My head pounding. Ouch. I sit up slowly to find that dirt was sticking into my face. Disheartened, I rub all the pieces of dirt off my face. What the hell kind of party was I at?

Suddenly Sasuke's face appears in my mind's eye. Uchiha Sasuke. He is Itachi's little brother. And I... Iemata she... I could feel her breaking through my subconscious... she was taking over my body. I... I called for my daddy... did... did he come? Did he get here in time? What in the world did Iemata do?

"Sasuke?" I ask, suddenly, jolting up so quick that the blood rushes to my head and makes me dizzy. I put my hand on my forehead to steady myself. "Woah... dizzy." I mumble.

Someone chuckles lightly next to me. I shake the fuzziness away to see my dad knelt down next to me. I blink at him dumbly for a moment before he says, "You are a klutz. Like your mother."

Mom snorts somewhere behind me. "Asshole." she grumbles then returns to what she was doing, but I didn't notice. I was staring at my father. The man I idolize.

"Daddy, you came for me." I whisper. "Like that night I ran away-which was totally stupid of me- but you were mad and yet you went out to look for me anyway."

My dad looks confused. "Why would I not go out and look for you?"

I open my mouth to reply but nothing would come out. I close it for a moment in thought. My daddy does love me, even though he's got to be hard core for the other Akatsuki... but he loves me so why wouldn't he got out and look for me?

"He wanted to make sure you didn't cause any trouble for the outside world." Iemeta's cold voice echo's through my head.

"Wh-What?" I say aloud without looking thinking. My father raises an eyebrow and I feel heat rush to my face. Why do I choose to be stupid now? In front of my dad?

"Cause you're stupid." Iemeta says simply.

I narrow my eyes. "Dad, I'm not talking to you, sorry. I'm talking to Iemeta. And it's not pleasant." I sigh.

My dad twitches but nods in understanding.

"Now, Iemeta, what did you do to my body?" I ask, glaring at the dirt.

"Took it over, duh!"

"No duh is right! But why?"

"To kill the Uchiha."

"Why?"

"For the fun of it."

"No one kills for the fun of it!" I snap.

"Hidan does," Iemeta says.

I blink. "Well, that's different. Besides-"

"Kisame does. Come to think of it so does your loving daddy dearest." Iemeta says thoughtfully, her dark green eyes wide like this was news to her. I know I walked right into that one but I couldn't stop the anger from building up inside me. I feel the tears of anger prickle at my eyes. My face growing red.

"Shut up! He's not like that at all!" I snarl, unable to control the tidal wave of emotions that were washing over me. Iemeta was wrong. My father is not like that at all!

"I guess you would think that. He never told you about-"

"Sakura," My father's voice cut out whatever Iemeta was about to say. Not that I minded all that much. I'm kinda curious as to what she was going to say just so I could prove her wrong... but I'm also afraid that there might be something out there about my dad that is truly horrible and bad that I would just rather not know. "Ignore Iemeta- whatever she is saying- and focus on me for a moment." he orders in that 'total athority' voice of his.

I take a deep breath and focus on my father. "I'm sorry about that, dad. I'm ignoring her."

He nods. "Good, now tell me, how do you feel?"

What a strange question to ask. "I feel fine, dad." I say solidly, gazing into his black ringed eyes. "Why?"

"Because..." my father says slowly, "Iemeta does... terrible things to the mind. Horrible things. Not only to her prey but to her host as well. Even though you are in control right now- Iemeta is still a threat."

"Your daddy knows what he's saying. I'm oh so dangerous." Iemeta snickers. Her voice sending a cold chill down my spine. How bad is Iemeta really?

Iemeta snickers agian, lowly.

"Very."

I follow my parents, Itachi, Kisame, Sasori and Deidara back to the base quietly. Not wanting to drawl any attention to myself for the rest of the day. Day? Screw it, I'll be happy if they forget I exist for an eternity.

Sasuke woke up and his red haired commrad brought him to safety. He seemed awfully dazed and didn't seem to understand what was going on but when his eyes connected with mine, I knew that wouldn't be the last time I saw Sasuke. Somehow, I think he's gonna be really mad when he hears that Itachi was there the entire time he was asleep.

This would normally be something Kisame and Deidara would joke about but for whatever reason neither had even commented as the girl promised that she would find him again and left with the younger Uchiha.

I glance at my crush to see him facing forward with an emotionless look on his face, he looks lost in thought. What could he be thinking about? Me? Normally, that would make me gitty... but this is a much different circumstance.

Kisame glances back at me, I spot in the corner of my eye. He must of noticed my staring for he slowed down to keep pace with me.

"You alright, kid?"

I look to the uncharacteristically sober shark man. Suddenly remembering my first impression of my now somewhat brother. I shake the nostalgic feeling away and shrug. "I guess. Why is everyone so quiet?"

Kisame looks at me like I'm stupid, which really doesn't surprise me all that much. I know the reason, I just don't... want to admit it. "You were totally wacko earlier and the boss is... well pissed." he says bluntly with a shrug.

"You stay out of sight and quiet when the boss is mad." Deidara says, looking back at me. His large blue eye revealing none of his thoughts. Does he think I'm a freak?

"Not all of us have the luxury of knowing the boss wont chew our heads off for being retarded. Only Tobi has that." Sasori says lightly. I can tell he's trying to lighten the mood. A short laugh escapes me despite myself.

"And occationally Hidan." Itachi adds monotoned.

I glance at the elder Uchiha but he's not looking at me, he's focused on the entrance of the base. Great, does Itachi hate me now? I can just feel my mood crashing into rock bottom, finding a hole and sailing all the way into the deepest, hottest parts of hell. No way of coming back from that is there?

"Everyone," dad says, "pack up. This base has been compromised-" I flinch but my dad doesn't look at me. "-we leave in 20 minutes. Be ready or this base will collapse with you inside." With that, he storms inside, not even turning to face us. The four members follow inside obediently.

Mom gives me a one shoulder hug. "It's okay, baby girl. Go get packed, we're leaving." she pulls away and heads down the hall after my father. I watch her leave.

"Does dad hate me?" I whisper, loud enough for her to hear.

She pretends not to.

My daddy collapsed the base and lead us deep within the water country to the next base we will be staying at for a while. As we all got settled in, I realized that Iemeta had gone silent and when I called out to her I was promptly ignored. Which really sucks because that seems to be the theme today.

Ignore Sakura.

As I put the last of my cloths in the drawers, I glance at the door, my thoughts turning back to Itachi. Was he mad that I attacked Sasuke? I hope not because there is no way I can make up for that.

I gather my courage and head out, down the hall to Itachi's room. The door is closed but I can hear Itachi moving about inside. I can hear his closet door be pressed up against and his cloths being put on hangers. I raise my hand to knock but am cut off.

"Come on in, Sakura-chan." Itachi says in that low monotoned voice of his. I jump slightly and try not to open the door too quickly in fear of being too painstakingly obvious.

I close the door behind me and turn to see Itachi's room all unpacked and neat. He's sitting on his bed, staring at me. I lean against the door and cross my arms over my chest.

"Are you mad at me?" I finally ask after a minute of silence. Itachi blinks those Sharingon eyes slowly.

"Um, no. Why would you think that?"

I sigh. "Because it felt like you were trying to ignore me the entire time we headed to the base, got packed and came here. Even now it feels like you don't really want to talk to me."

Itachi looks into my eyes. "Sakura, I apologise. I did not mean for it to appear that way. I am truly sorry."

"So you're not mad at me?" I ask hopefully.

Itachi shake his head. "No."

"Then the entire time, you were... deep in thought?"

Itachi smiles lightly. "Yes."

"Can I ask what about?"

"Yes."

"Will you answer truthfully?"

"No."

"So you wont tell me."

"Correct."

"Will I get more then one word answers?"

"No."

"Is it about Sasuke?"

"Hn."

"It was?"

"Hn."

"Is that all you're gonna say about it?"

"Hn."

I pout. "Damn."

Itachi smiles lightly again. He stands up and walks over to me, putting his arm around my shoulders as he opens the door. "How about some dinner?"

I nod defectively. Still sad that Itachi wont tell me what he was thinking about. "Yeah, sure."

"Sakura," Itachi says as we head down the hall toward the kitchen. "trust me. Whatever I was thinking about you are better off not knowing about."

I look at him but don't question him, knowing that was to be the end of our previous conversation. He looks down at me and gives a wink as he continues to lead me to the kitchen. He pulls me closer after a moment of silence. "Good girl."
