Kisame gruffly pulled Sakura along the hallway to her new room.
With her insane strength, she pulled herself out of the shark man's grip and said stiffly, "I can walk myself."
Kisame merely grunted and pointed her to her room.
Sakura opened the door as it slowly creaked from the lack of oiling. The room was simple and held a certain charm. There was one small bed in the middle with newly washed sheets and a pillow. There was a dresser to the side with a full length mirror. To her left was a window, boasting a great view of the forest and training grounds. The drapes were a pinkish color … so they were expecting her.
Off to the right was a door that led to her bathroom. It was a quaint room with a simple shower and sink.
She turned towards Kisame and said her thanks.
The shark man just rolled his eyes and said, "Itachi wants me to greet you to the others, let's go."
Sakura nodded slightly and followed him out the door.
"Gentlemen. This is Haruno Sakura," announced Itachi.
"Kyouko," corrected Sakura.
Deidara, Pein, and Tobi glanced at her.
"She looks harmless and weak," scoffed Pein.
Sakura flared up at that one word.
Before he knew it, Sakura was holding him up by his collar and snarled, "Care to repeat that?"
Pein gulped loudly and muttered 'no.'
Sakura released her grip and turned her head sideways.
"Kunoichi. We'll see you at the training ground later. We'll see what you really can do," said Itachi.
The older Uchiha received silence as an answer.

The teams sprang forward, hopping from branch to branch.
"Neji, can you see anything using your Byakugan?" asked Naruto.
"Hn. Not yet," replied the white eyed man.
Tenten giggled silently to herself.
Irritated, Neji looked at her, "What?"
She replied, "You're so easily irritated. Makes you fun to tease."
Neji rolled his eyes and kept his face forward. But Tenten could see the smile tugging at his lips.
A sudden scream startled the two bantering.
"Ino! Troublesome woman," said Shikamaru. His voice was laced with panic as he looked down to the ground only to find his injured teammate.
Everyone stopped and cautiously perused their surroundings.
With his Byakugan activated, Neji said with suprise, "There's someone out there. Powerful chakra. Holding an instrument of some kind……..it's swordlike….and chakra is circulating within it..."
Naruto growled and muttered, "Kisame."
A blue-skinned man stepped out from behind a tree. "Ha. So the kyuubi knows me. Huh. That woman…Ino is her name? What is happening to Konoha shinobi these days..so weak. "
"You bastard," yelled Naruto as he launched himself towards his opponent, kunai in hand.
Seeing the chaotic situation, Tenten ordered Shikamaru to stay back with Ino and take care of her.
Tenten swiped her thumb against the sharp jagged tip of a rock, drawing some blood. Hastily, she dragged her thumb across a scroll she spread out as she yelled, "Twin Dragons Jutsu!"
Naruto's kunai was no match for Kisame's sword. The chakra-infused sword instantly blew the kyuubi away.
Two rising dragons and a shower of steel weapons were heading towards Kisame. Jumping into the air, Kisame dragged his sword and sliced through the two dragons, effectively getting rid of them. The shower of kunais were blocked off as he swung his sword around, cutting into everything, including the steel weapons. Then, he aimed his sword towards weapon and cut the nerve endings of Tenten's arms, rendering it useless.
Sasuke merely looked on, watching the power of Kisame and wondering if he could learn that.
"OI, TEME. HELP NEJI AND HINATA NOW," screamed the bleeding Naruto as he lay on the ground, struggling to get up.
"Hn," replied Sasuke.
Enraged and furious, Neji attacked Kisame.
"Haha. So Hyuga. You think you can defeat me? You're only a branch member. That shy Hinata over there is stronger than you isn't she? Pathetic," smirked Kisame.. He'll be too enraged with fury that he'll forget his blind spot.
Just as Kisame thought, Neji ran forward blindly, not thinking.
Perfect.
Kisame jumped and disappeared from Neji's sight.
What the hell. What happened? Why isn't the Byakugan working?
……the blindspot!
Neji was too late to react as Kisame flew down, swinging his sword at the defenseless Neji.
The thud of her boyfriend's body drew a scream from Tenten as she screamed his name helplessly from the ground where she lay.
Naruto, realizing the extent of the situation, yelled for Sasuke and Hinata to run. They were the only hope to find Sakura.
"TEME, HINATA! RUN! GO FIND SAKURA. WE'll CATCH UP LATER," yelled Naruto as he lay on the ground, suffering from two broken legs, a few cracked ribs, and a now useless left arm.
Heading his words, Sasuke ran forward.
"Naruto-kun! I can't leave you," cried Hinata.
Naruto's eyes softened as he looked at his girlfriend.
"Hinata,
The girl looked up at her love.
I love you."
Hinata gasped and for the first time in HISTORY, she didn't faint.
"Don't worry, we'll be all right. Go now. You two are the only hope for Kyo- no. Sakura-chan."
Hinata smiled softly and slowly began to run forward, trying to catch up with Sasuke.
Hn. I'll leave that Uchiha and Hyuuga. It'll be a treat for Itachi-sama once they discover the findout. (this is Kisame talking btw xD)
