Down the Same Path

Sakura had finished showering and was now standing infront the of her mirror. Her black mask was ripped so she threw it away, hopefully she can find a new one to put on.  She had changed the color of her hita aite to black and had put on her clothes, that konan gave her. It looked like a replica of itachi's uniform. The cloak was comfortable and a little heavy, but all she needs is to get used to it. For now she'll have her hair down. She had painted her nails green and finally she put her ring. She was now an official akatsuki. She heard a knock and quickly replied with a come in. Konan entered and smiled. "Thank you for joining, it gets hard being the only female. I can talk to you right?" She asked feeling a little sad at the question. Sakura smiled and said,"I understand and yes you can talk to me. Now what do I do?" Konan smiled at her but said,"I'll escort you to Pain's office, and he will tell you what to do, now follow me,". Sakura followed konan to Pein's office, they both entered and saw pein stare at them. "Thank you Konan, you may leave. Sakura, you shall stay." They both nodded and konan walked out of the office leaving Sakura alone. "Sakura I can sense your pain and suffering. I want peace in this world, I don't want war. We kill rogue ninjas, or deadly assassins. Everyone thinks we're bad people, but we do it for them. Now I'm going to train you and you will become strong. Now do you accept?" He said as Sakura looked at him. "Yes sir." He nodded in approval,"Very well. Follow me," he stood up and walked out of the office. She followed him and he took this time to think. Was he doing the right choice? To make her his pupil? No , he didn't, he was sure of it. They had arrived, and the 16 year old looked at the training ground with excitement. "We will spar here. When ever you're ready attack," he said as he went to the left side and she went to the right side. Sakura quickly ran at him and tried to punch him with her chakra infused fist, but he simply dodged it, he was faster than her, that was for sure. She sent a kick to the ground , making it difficult to stand, but she took opportunity of this. She had landed a fist on pein. After that, it seemed than pein got serious. He used his advantage in speed and took her down in 20 seconds. To say he was impressed, no one had landed a punch on him, the only one that did damage to him was Itachi Uchiha. "Very good, you have given some damage to me. Tomorrow I will start your training. Dismissed," he said but Sakura just stood there. "I don't know my way around,' she said as she hated to admit it. Pein nodded and gave her a quick tour. "That right there is konan's room, which is next to mine. And that right there is the living room, the kitchen is there and yeah that's it, now dismissed" he said and she walked towards the kitchen. She took out the ingredients she needed and started making Shiratama Anmitsu. The akatsuki boys were in the living room ,but they suddenly smelled a delicious smell from the kitchen. "Wow, what's that. Smells like art," Deidara said as he caught whiff of the sweet scent. "Smells sweet to me," Itachi said shocking everyone. They all stood up and silently made their way to the kitchen, and were surprised to see pink hair, purple diamonds and , green eyes, making some anko dumplings with syrup. "Good there's no spices, I don't like spicy things much," she muttered to herself, before she quickly grabbed a kunai and threw it behind her, making it land besides Tobi's head. "Woah, who's the dangerous lady?" He said as he took a step back. "Her name is Sakura Haruno, you know the clan killer, bloody blossom, and now deadly blossom of the Akatsuki," Hidan said proudly and soon found himself pinned to the wall with a kunai. "Ow, that hurts bitch." She finished making the dumplings and she seemed to make enough for everyone. "You can't die Jerk," she simply said as she took out plates and set the table up. She put an equal amount of dumplings in each plate and motioned them to sit down. They all walked and were staring at the food, before Deidara finally got the courage and took a bite of one. He closed his eyes but opened them again and stared at the dumpling in wonder before biting it again. "Itws gwod (it's good)," he said as he happily ate them. The other akatsuki took a bite and their eyes widened. That evening they all ate quietly and Sakura was smiling. She set a plate for herself, and konan, who had walked in and was in shock that they were quiet. They both took a seat, and ate their dumplings. Tobi finished, and after a minute everyone finished. "Tobi thinks Sakura's cooking is good," he said in his childish voice, while Sakura slightly smiled. "Thank you Tobi," Obito looked at her, she reminded him of Rin.
