Hello readers, this is one of two stories that I'm writing at the moment. The other being Betrayal and Revenge (which isn't out yet). I am still unsure about finishing my older fanfic that I started when I was younger and I would appreciate your opinion on that. Besides that please enjoy the story.

Sakura's eyes flickered open, sunlight poured into her room. Pushing herself off of her bed she sighed.

'Another day of hiding,' I thought.

Grabbing the wrappings from my dresser I ran down the stairs, two to three at a time, before turning into the kitchen.

My mother was standing by the sink, and she beckoned me over when I walked in and started to wrap my wrist covering the cloud mark with the kanji for 'Akatsuki' in the middle. Fully colored too. Yay for me.

Once she was done she looked up at me.

"Don't take them off," she murmured quietly.

I nodded, as I always did, internally though I sighed.

Yes I appreciated all she was risking by hiding me from 'them.' But sometimes I wished she wouldn't. It was too risky. If they did find me, and in turn found out what she had been doing. What would they to to her? Kill her? Torture her?

I couldn't let that happen. If it got to that point, if anyone became suspicious then I would turn myself in.

~:~

I kept my eyes on the road in front of me as I walked through the village, my bandaged wrist hung at my side.

My eyes slid closed, taking in and enjoying the abnormally cool breeze in other wise commonly warm weather.

That is until I ran head first into a village guard. Jumping back I stuttered out apologies.

'Crap people were staring.'

"Gomen," I muttered out fully at last, bowing my head and letting my hair fall forward blocking the view of my face. My bandaged wrist tucked behind me.

"It's all right, it was an accident after all," he said, in reply to my apology.

I now aloud myself to get a good look at him. His brown hair hung in his face, partly blocking his bright green eyes. And his smile met his eyes as he grinned at me. But he was a village guard, which meant he worked for the Akatsuki, and was far out of my reach. If I was reaching of course.

Muttering a few more apologies I turned and practically ran away. Though not before catching the disappointed look on his face.

'Pity too, he really was cute,' I thought.

Maybe if things had been different and I had become a ninja like I had always wanted to. But all ninja's worked for Akatsuki so I couldn't and wasn't, and things weren't different.

"Yep, definitely a pity," I muttered to myself, the groceries I had originally left for held tightly in my hand.

~:~

Was there a wheel up their that was spun to decide what a person would act like, look like, or what their life would be like?

Like that village guard for example, did someone just spin and it landed on, and ultimately decided that he would have brown hair, green eyes, and a smile that could light up the world, and that he would work under a bunch of evil guys that took over the world as a ninja. And if there was this crazy wheel out their there then why the heck do I have pink hair.

I mean come on, who out there hates me.

Sigh, only one of the many things that I think about when I wake up, walk through the village, during meals, and like now as I lay in bed at night unable to sleep.

I pulled a pillow over my head.

'Stupid Wheel'

~:~

Remember that earlier comment about the stupid wheel; well I would have to second it now.

Why?

Maybe it has something to do with my stupid daydreaming, so I ran into a lady, and her stupid water soaked me, including the bandages on my marked wrist.

This of course is why that she along with everyone else watching got a good view of my mark, and a few pervs got a good view of something else.

Why I had a touching goodbye with my mother, though she didn't know it was a goodbye.

Why I had to quickly pack my bag before slipping out the front door.

And why I was now being 'escorted' to rain, with the village guard at my side, who I had now learned his name to be "". Just like he had learned that mine was Sakura.

It was also why now I was officially freaked out at the fact that I knew nothing of what was to come.

'Damn you, stupid wheel'

'Hm maybe I'll get lucky and you'll break.'

~:~

"Hm, nice house, mansion, whatever.'

All I knew was that it was huge and completely decorated with reds, black, and white. With an occasional silver or grey of course.

But yes over all a very nice 'house.'

~:~

"T-this is y-your room," one of the servants that had introduced herself to me as Hinata said as she stopped in front of a door. She opened it for me as I walked closer.

It was nice, kind of plain though, but big. With all the required furniture, so I couldn't really complain.

"They said t-that you could decorate I-it how you want," Hinata stuttered.

"Thank you," I murmured.

She bowed and slipped out of the room. I went to call her back but she was already gone.

"She didn't have to leave yet," I muttered.

'Oh well, I'm sure I'll see her later.'

Sighing I collapsed on the bed.

'Figures,' I thought, 'just my luck.'

Of course then a knock came at the door and I started to wonder if I would ever have a minute of peace.

The knock came again.

'I guess not,' I thought, getting up and opening the door.

A guy was standing there, not Akatsuki so I began going over who he could be. Until of course I realized he was talking to me and I should probably be paying attention.

"…and so I would have been here sooner but I had to help the cat outside," he finished.

'Crap, what was he saying?' I wondered.

"So… can we go then?" he asked.

"Huh? Oh uh… yeah sure," I replied nodding, all the time wondering where we were going.

The unnamed man proceeded to give me a tour of the place, though it only confused me.

"Kakashi! Hey hold on a second!"

'Who the heck was Kakashi?' I wondered.

"Good morning Ino," The man next to me answered.

'So he's Kakashi, well at least I know that now.'

Ino, or so I assumed ran over to us. Grabbing my wrist she started to drag me away.

"Come on," she demanded, "We have to go get you ready!"

"Get me ready?"

"To meet the Akatsuki of course!"

'Great'

Ino, with her death grip on my wrist dragged me to a room I hadn't seen be fore and practically threw me into it, slamming the door behind us. The walls were lined with clothes.

I didn't have time to think (me: I almost wrote ponder their, lolz reader: oookkaay then me: heh such a funny word, ponder lolz) about it because I was drowned under a sea of clothes.

"Come on, put it on. We're in a hurry!" she practically yelled.

'I can hear you,' I thought, miserable. Tugging on the clothing and looking in the mirror. I have to admit though, I look good. The tight black dress hugged my curves.

Ino came up, tying the red obi around me.

"Come on now, Lady Sakura," Ino said.

"Hai," I muttered, "I'm coming"

Give it a minute…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

(Or five, a little slow here)

…

…

"Wait!"

"What do you mean Lady Sakura!"

Ino blinked at me, confused.

"I'm telling you," I said, freaking out, "I'm not lady sakura. I never have been and I never will be."

"Unless you marry a lord," Ino replied.

"Which I haven't," I snapped, my voice rising, "right Ino!"

"Of course Sakura-sama,' Ino replied, looking nervous for the first time ever. Not that I had known her for long.

I sweatdropped, but didn't have a chance to comment before the door in front of us opened and I came face to face with Pein, the Akatsuki Leader.

'Crap'

Thx for reading ^.~

Love you all please review, it makes me update. Plus you get a cookie. ^^

So go on press the button.

This is a SakuraxAkatsuki fic so she will be with all of them somewhat, but some characters more that others so if you have any suggestions please tell them to me. Thx ^^

By the way if your wondering why Ino changes her attitude all of a sudden is because she realizes who you are and that you're her superior who is about to go meet her other superiors so she starts to act more appropriate. Also Sakura makes a big deal about being called Lady Sakura because 1. She doesn't like people to treat her like she's better than them; it makes her uncomfortable and 2. Ino kind of implied that she was married to leader-sama, since he kind of holds the position of a lord their.

You can flame if you want but I'll just ignore them and probably laugh at them too if I actually take time to read them, which I really probably won't. I noticed some people flaming that authors were making Sakura a slut by pairing her with multiple people but that's not the point or true. Plus I don't think the Akatsuki would care what others thought, at all. Lolz ^^
