My Little Mind Is Taking Over!
"Ah…ah…"
Sakura just could not get the words out of her tiny mouth. Those eyes…so strange. They held murder and contentment. Anger and apathy. Regret…guilt….hatred. It seemed to the pinkette every emotion a human being could feel was contained in those swirling, orange eyes.
"Pein, why have you stopped?" An irritated voice sounded directly behind the frightening man. His blue-haired companion had nearly crashed into his back at his sudden halting steps. "It wouldn't hurt for you to give a…warn…ing…" The woman's words broke up as they left her lips, her eyes finally resting on the figure before them
"It seems be have an intruder, Konan." The emotionally emotionless man tilted his head slightly as he looked at the trembling girl before them.
Konan, Sakura figured was the blue-haired woman, sighed in frustration as she pinched the bridge of her nose right between her eyes. "I TOLD Tobi he wasn't allowed to keep any pets…" She ground out.
Sakura sniffled slightly. She was NOT a pet…not in the least was she a pet! She was…uh oh.
Pein tilted his head to the other side this time, aware fully of the strange look that was crossing Sakura's face as she titled side-to-side slightly. It almost made her look like she was dancing. That, or she had to…oh boy.
"Ba…" Sakura's tiny voice tried to squeal out a few words. "Bah…"
"What? What is it that you are trying to say?" Konan grumbled slightly as she looked down at the pinkette, irritation sowed around her eyes. All of a sudden she could remember why she never liked kids in the first place.
"Bathroom! I need to go to the bathroom!" Sakura's large eyes started to burst into large tears. "Someone needs to take me to the bathroom. I can't go alone!"
'The hell?! I'm not even THINKING that!!' Sakura's mind screamed. 'Why is my body acting on it's own like this?! My thoughts still comprehend what I know! I can remember basics and laws of physics…but my mouth keeps making a move before I can!!'
"Oh geez…" Konan rubbed her eyes and turned to face her partner. "Pein, you bet-"
"I have to go now, Konan." Pein's voice was sharp, giving of a tone that said his decision was final. "I believe some of the members are awaiting me in my office. If you'll excuse me then, I shall be on my way." With a short nod of his head and a rustle of a certain robe, the leader of the Akatsuki was seen disappearing down the hallway.
Konan glared at the back of the retreating Pein, now unsure of what she was suppose to do. "Ah…okay. Just calm down little girl and I'll find a place to ta-"
"COTTON CANDY-CHAN!!" A shrill voice echoed through the halls of the lair. Konan stopped dead in her tracks as she looked around, the familiar voice causing her to feel rather weary. Even Sakura, tears still streaming down her face, stopped her loud cries.
It was in that instant that an orange and black blur ran full speed into the small child, causing both of them to fall to the ground. "Oh! Cotton Candy-chan! Tobi was so worried about you! Tobi told all the other members about you, but they said Tobi was crazy! They said Cotton Candy-chan was just another figment of Tobi's imagination! But Tobi knew they were wrong! Tobi knew that you were real!" He paused to squeeze the little girl tightly. "Tobi searched and searched but couldn't find Cotton Candy-chan! After a while Tobi was starting to think that you WERE a part of Tobi's imagination…but you weren't!"
Konan was slightly taken aback now. Not by Tobi's behavior because, as odd as it sounded, that was how he was. She was more taken aback by the look on Sakura's face. One thought ran though the woman's head as she grit her teeth and let out be voiced out. "TOBI! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!"
--
A flush was heard as Sakura stepped out from behind one of the impressive oak doors that the hideout was filled with. Her head was lowered as she walked out in her new apparel. "I'm sorry…" She spoke as she folded her arms in front of her mini-Akatsuki robe. 'Am not, CHA!'
Konan sighed as she leaned against the wall next to her. "It's okay kid. He shouldn't have squeezed you so hard."
Tobi had his own head bowed, having been made to stand in a corner of the room like the 'bad boy he was'. "Konan-san…can Tobi turn around and pet Cotton Candy-chan now? Tobi's been a good boy and has stayed in his corner!" The masked man made to turn around.
"Stop right there Tobi! You still have five minutes in that corner and not one less!" Konan snapped as she watched the defeated Akatsuki member continue to sulk away. 'Geeze…what has the organization come to?' She though as she slapped a hand across her forehead.
"So…where are we?" Sakura asked, finally taking control of her body again.
"Right now we're in your room." Konan pointed out as she waved one hand around the room. "This is where you will sleep and live until it is fully decided what shall be done with you. For now you are our guest and our prisoner. You are free to stay here and enjoy a restricted amount of luxuries, but go to far or try to leave and you will be killed. Child or not, you are still an enemy until proven otherwise…I'm sorry, I don't believe I caught your name?"
Sakura's face was now pale as she tried to keep her legs steady. First she was told that she could live, then she was told to be careful or she would die…what the hell was she suppose to do?! "Sa-Saku-"
"Cotton Candy-chan!"
"Shut it Tobi! Back to your corner!" Konan pointed at Tobi as he made his way to glomp Sakura again, causing him to stop dead in his tracks. "But-but-but! Konan-san! Tobi did his five minutes already!"
"You did not, Tobi!"
"Did to! Tobi counted!"
"Well you counted wrong!"
"Why doesn't Konan-san want Tobi around Cotton Candy-chan! Are you jealous of Tobi?! Tobi loves everyone!"
"Tobi! Tobi don't come near me!"
Sakura sighed as she opened the door to her room and crept away from the bickering members. She was starting to think that Akatsuki weren't the toughened criminals everyone made them out to be. They seemed more like a bickering family then a group of cold hearted criminals.
"This is almost too easy! Ha, I find it funny that they all are about as dumb as they loo…oook…" Sakura sighed as she closed her eyes, not wanting to open them. "I'm going to open my eyes…and I'm NOT going to be in a room filled with Akatsuki members staring at me…" She opened her eyes to find that her wishes were unanswered.
Indeed, several of the members were sitting in the room they had before. All of them were staring at the pinkette as she stared back, not knowing what to say. Well…one of them did.
"What the fuck?"

T.T Oh! I am so disappointed with this chapter! I had written it down on a piece of paper before, and when I went to type it out I left it laying somewhere and now I can't find it! It was a lot better written then this was, but…what can you honestly do? I tried to make it from scratch…it just doesn't feel the same…T.T
