If Sakura was expecting Sasori to talk to her on the way to her house she was sadly disappointed. The only communication between them was when he needed to turn onto different streets. No music, no random conversations. Just plain silence.

Ten minutes into their drive to Sakura's house, Sasori's phone rang. Sakura jumped at the sudden intrusion of noise as she was slowly getting used to the silence. Either Sasori didn't seem to hear, even though it was the only noise in the car, or he was determined to ignore the outrageous sounds of explosion coming from the phone. A few minutes and the ringing finally stopped only for it to start up again. She could barely make out Deidara's picture on the caller id.

"It's Deidara. Do you want me to answer." Sakura questioned as the ringing ended for the second time. She caught Sasori's stiff nod and breathed a small sigh of relief that she wasn't going to have to be silent for the rest of the trip.

"Hello?" Sakura answered. She could slightly make out laughter and the sound of slamming doors in the background. Sounds like there's a party going on. Inner cheered at the thought of going out to be around cute boys.

"Is that Kitten?" She heard Kisame's gruff laughter that was followed with the sound of a heavy object hitting the floor. Sakura giggled and patiently waited for Deidara to answer.

"Is Danna driving?" Deidara questioned. Sakura shook her head even though the only other person to see her was driving.

"Yeah. Did you need me to ask him something?" She pointed to the street in front of their school and held up the five fingers motioning to the right to signal which one was her house. Sasori pulled up into the driveway and grabbed the phone from Sakura's hold.

"Yes. Ok. I will ask." Sasori covered the reciever of his phone to turn to Sakura.

"The annual fair is opening today and we've always gone as a group. You're now a part of the team so do you think your mom would be alright with you going?" Sasori asked as Sakura began grabbing her belongings from the backseat. She paused and began thinking of her mother's schedule for the weekend. From what Sakura could remember, her mother was supposed to finish up a game today that was six hours away.

"Let me call my mom to make sure it's ok. You can come in and wait because if she says yes then I want to change." Sakura motioned towards her Pj's she was still wearing. Sasori cut the engine and helped carrying the luggage into the house.

Sasori let out a small whistle at the many trophies that were displayed on one of the living room walls. He heard a small chuckle come from his right side.

"Only twelve of those are mine. The other forty-eight are split between my parents." Sakura said before walking down the hallway, no doubt to change. Sasori turned back to the wall to look over the other two names.

Mebuki Haruno and Kizashi Haruno.

Sasori scrunched up at the last name. Kizashi Haruno. Where have I heard that from?

He waited patiently as much as he could for Sakura to come out of her room so they could leave. Five minutes later, Sasori felt his phone buzz twice before it was silent again.

Are you guys coming or what, yeah? Thought you hate to be kept waiting?Sasori scoffed at the text from Deidara and was about to reply when Sakura walked in saying she was ready. If he didn't have that little warning, Sasori swore he would've lost control over his emotions.

Sakura was wearing a white sweater that faded into a mint green. The sleeves were torn off to reveal that she was wearing a long black sleeved shirt that didn't seem to have any print being seen other than a white circle on the left shoulder. The pinkette also adorned a bandanna matching her sweater's second color wrapped around her head leaving a few strands to frame her face while the rest of her hair was pulled into a long pony tail. A pair of black skinny jeans and knee high combat boots graced her legs making them seem even longer than they were.

Oh dear I'm feeling something for this brat.

Sasori realized this was actually the first time he had seen Sakura in real clothing other than workout pants and tank tops. To say in the least, Sasori was surprised with her style of clothing. Even though at the practices she was willing to get dirty from the tackles they had her practice with Deidara, Sasori was expecting her to be one of those girls who spent hours primping themselves up to go grocery shopping and yet he was surprised with the outcome. Sakura was the exact kind of girl that Sasori always thought was refreshing when compared to the females who caked on loads makeup and hairspray.

"Is something wrong?" Sakura questioned, looking around the room to see what had caught Sasori's attention completely. Sasori took her diverted attention to shake his head and gain some control over his emotions.

"No. Let's go. I hate waiting." Sasori murmured as he moved to pass Sakura to the front door. He figured that the faster they got to the fair, the more easier it would be to handle being around her.

What he didn't expect was to smell the slightest hint of cherries and vanilla. Damn this car ride.

The moment that Sasori had pulled into the parking spot that the rest of the Akatsuki members had reserved for him, his car was bombarded with loud shouts and banging on the window. Kisame had thrown himself into the seat behind Sakura's while Deidara had openly thrown the driver's door open to scoot in with Sasori in the front. Sakura could roughly see the rest of the varsity football players walking towards the jeep. There was a tall girl she did not know that, with a more natural looking blue hair when compared to Kisame's, was trailing right behind Pein. Sakura could barely make out what looked like a blue rose in her hair.

"You lousy fucks. We've been waiting here for an hour!" Hidan grumbled out loud. Sakura giggled and slipped out of the car only to be tackled by an orange blob. Once her vision had returned to normal, Sakura was surprised to see Tobi with an orange swirl mask on. It didn't go past her notice that out of all times of seeing Tobi at practice, there was never a moment that his face wasn't covered by something. Wether it be a hat, his helmet or even just simply hiding behind the water cooler, Tobi's face was never out in the open.

"Sakura-chan! Tobi is so glad you came with us! Now Tobi won't have to be alone with Tobi's horrible cousins!" The childish boy squealed, clutching to Sakura's waist.

Sakura saw a tan hand reach out of her peripheral vision to grip the back of Tobi's shirt to pry him off her form. Another pair of arms wrapped themselves under her arms to pull her off the floor. As soon as Sakura was placed on her feet, she was pulled backwards by the same hands to be held against a muscled body. Oh goodness sakes!

Holy hell! Who is this person because they have an amazing body! Inner Sakura gushed at the feeling of having muscled arms wrapped their body encasing them to the man.

"Terribly sorry about Tobi. He can get over excited sometimes don't you think princess?" A low grumble reverberated against the chest that she was being held against. Sakura could see the rest of the team standing infront of her wether it be in or behind the car. Tobi was being held still by Kisame so that left almost no one left for Sakura to guess on who was standing behind her. This led Sakura to blush profusely that she scrambled out of the arms so she could see who this stranger really was.

The pinkette felt Inner fangirl for a moment before having a nosebleed and fainting at the sight of the man now in front of them.

He had an unruly black mane of hair that hid part of the right side of his face. From what Sakura could see, his hair reached down to his waist just like hers did when it was out of her usual ponytails or braids. The man's skin tone held a natural tan that could only be hinting that he got it from being out in the sun from possibly playing sports. Smoldering black eyes danced with mischief as they roamed over her smaller frame.

"Madara. Behave yourself." A quiet voice commanded behind Sakura. At that single command, the man now dubbed Madara immediately turned her around with him to face the person.

"Doh. Pein it'll be boring if I do though!" Madara whined leaning onto Sakura's head. The pinkette groaned internally as Inner gushed even more at feeling the older man's body pressed against her a bit harder.

Pein motioned to the bluette standing to his left. Madara clucked his tongue in disapproval but released the young girl from his hold. Sakura quickly walked towards Pein's side to stand next to other woman. The warmth radiating from the girl was enough for Sakura to feel more relaxed. A small smile graced the two girl's faces as they acknowledged one another.

"Hi. I'm Sakura Haruno." Sakura held out her hand. In all honesty, Sakura wasn't expecting another girl to be tagging along to the fair with the rest of the boys. She was prepared to be her usual tomboyish self knowing there was a possibility she wouldn't be judged for her actions. Now knowing there would be another girl other than herself in the group, Sakura feared the slightest bit she'd make herself seem like an idiot or even a child still.

"Konan. I'm Pein's twin sister." The now named bluenette offered a small smile and shook Sakura's offered hand. Both girls nodded to each other before moving their attention back to the rest of the group that had finally gathered around.

Both Tobi and Madara were being held in a headlock by Itachi and another man that looked similiar to the three Uchihas. Oh goodness sakes! So many hot bodies! Hush I can't think with you screaming about boys! Well since technically I'm you, You are thinking about boys!

Sakura mentally shook her head and came back into reality in time to catch the introductions made by the stranger.

"..Shisui Uchiha." The fourth Uchiha greeted her warmly. A bit to warmly in Sakura's opinion.

"Can we fucking go already? We wait any longer and the rides will be packed as hell." Hidan groaned a moment later. He grabbed Sakura by her shoulders and started pushing her in the direction of the fair entrance. This caused a reaction as the rest of the group quickly locked the cars and raced after the two. Konan laughed quietly and was going to make a joke about the boys following the sheperd around to Pein until she caught the tightening of his lips. It was slight but being with him her whole life gave Konan the experience to catch these small notices.

"Something wrong?" Konan questioned softly to her older brother as they followed the rest of their friends. She could faintly hear Madara arguing with Shisui over who was going to be paying for Sakura's ticket inside. The blue haired girl bit the inside of her cheek when she caught Itachi handing over a ticket to Sakura making the older Uchihas to squabble like chickens.

"No." Pein's voice held the slightest strain as he got in line behind everyone to pay for their entrance. Konan smiled the slightest bit at this new information. Her brother was growing interested in a girl. The girl on his football team at that.

Things were about to grow interesting.

"Tobi wanna do the roller-coasters. Let's do roller-coasters." Tobi kept cheering on and on as the huge group made their way into the fair. Deidara and Hidan were grumbling that an idiot man child was about to be left behind while Sakura and Konan made chit chat about their ideas of what to do.

"If we're doing rides then I want Kitten to be my riding partner!" Kisame immediately yelled. Several heads turned to the tall male who had proclaimed that the pinkette would be his partner. Sakura shrieked slightly when she was pulled backwards away from Konan and towards the middle of the group. Kisame proudly smiled as he told her they were going to be riding together.

"Well I call Itachi then!" Shisui screamed happily latching onto his younger cousin. Itachi sighed softly wondering how he got pulled into this mess. After a moment of hesitating, the rest of the group began calling out who they were going to ride with. Sakura smiled at how nearly everyone was talking happily with their partner about which rides to choose till she realized that Kakuzu was left standing alone.

"Kakuzu. You don't have a partner?" Sakura questioned the stitched-face boy. His mismatched colored eyes narrowed slightly before turning to look around at the rides. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Kakuzu's cousin, Hidan.

"Don't bother. This fucker won't waste his money on the rides." Hidan pushed Sakura back to Kisame's side as the others began making their way to the ticket booth. She glanced back to see Kakuzu slowly following behind them. Konan came running up to her holding out her wrist to show the blue blob that the lady in the booth had sloppily pressed on. Both girls giggled and continued talking about which rides were the ones to ride only once and which were to ride continuously.

Sakura happily walked up to the booth and stood waiting for Itachi to finish. Konan and Kisame began arguing over which food was better to eat from the fair stands. The pinkette happily commented along with the duo but was pulled back into reality when the ticket lady asked for her arm.

"Wait I didn't pay yet." Sakura asked confused. The older lady smiled and pointed to her group waiting for the rest of them.

"That handsome boyfriend of yours had just payed for yours as well." The older woman's smile got bigger with every word she said. Sakura felt heat rise from her neck to her face as the lady implied that Itachi and her were dating. Me and that hottie of a guy dating? When did you two hook up and how come I didn't know about this? She ignored the rantings of her inner self and smiled politely at the woman.

"We're not dating." Sakura laughed awkardly when lady frowned sadly at her. She finished handing over the wristband ticket and sloppy ink mark.

"I think you should be." The pinkette heard the lady murmur before walking away. Konan was staring wide eyed at her over the conversation she heard happening between her new friend and the older lady. If she was completely honest with herself, she would have said that the lady obviously hadn't seen her brother standing next to the pinkette. The female bluenette smirked at the thought of her brother finally falling for a girl. If he's not pushed into it then he's never going to get her to accept being his girlfriend.

A small snicker was heard behind the two.

"So Kitten. When were you going to break the news to the rest of us?" The two girls heard Kisame trying to hold back his laughter. Sakura fought for control over her blush before walking back to the group with Kisame clutching his side. Zetsu was the first to notice the last three making their way back and was a bit curious as to why Kisame was laughing at the girls.

The odd colored boy made his way over to when he was barely caught the ending of what Kisame had just said. "..Break the news to the rest of us?"

"What news?" Zetsu asked when he was close enough for them to hear. Sakura had been looking back at Konan to tell her to stop kismae's teasing and therefore had not seen Zetsu stop right in front of her when she turned to face where she was walking towards.

Deidara had been about to convince Sasori to go on a ride when Madara began yelling profanities. Everyone around the oldest Uchiha turned to look at what he was exactly screaming at before letting their own jaws hit the floor. Standing in the middle of a gathering crowd were Sakura and Zetsu.

Kissing.

"You little shit how dare you take advantage of my Sakura-chan!" Madara screamed before running to separate the two. The audience immediately split when the intent to kill came at a break neck speed. A few adults had even started yelling for the man to stop when he had pulled a very frozen Zetsu away from an equally stunned Sakura. Madara gripped the front of Zetsu's sweater and shook him until Pein stepped in.

"Madara. Stop." Pein laid a hand on the eldest Uchiha before turning to check on Sakura. From what he could see, Konan and Kisame were trying to get a reaction out of the still stunned pinkette. Itachi, Shisui, Tobi, Deidara and Sasori crowded around the younger girl, everyone calling a different version of her name. It wasn't until Hidan had come up to say a very sarcastic comment about Sakura that they were able to get her back onto earth.

"I don't know what the fucking big deal was. So the bastard and Pinky kissed. It's not like it wasn't her first kiss, right?" Hidan cursed moving people so he could get a good look Sakura's stun expression. It was sad that no one expected Sakura to lash out and punch Hidan square on the nose. Her punch sent him sprawling backwards clutching his bleeding nose muttering about how good the pain was feeling. Sakura stood taller trying to hold in her tears.

"Well sorry I didn't know I was getting my first kiss taken from me today!" Sakura yelled before walking away in the direction to the rollercoasters. She paused and walked back to where Hidan still lay on the floor.

"And another thing don't call me pinky!" With that said, Sakura grabbed Kisame's and Konan's hands pulling them along away from the rest of the group.

Shisui stood flabbergasted that such a tiny girl could send Hidan onto the floor. The cute girl he had met only half an hour ago was now an upset woman that seemed to have a hidden temper.

"Hidan. This is all your fault." Sasori drawled out before dragging Deidara to follow after the raging pinkette getting in line for a spinning ride.

Ok before you get mad at this being soooo super late I had some complications with my computer, with labs that I have to turn in, and some very special days that passed that didn't allow me on the computer. I was going to post this chapter yesterday but since it was my birthday I was forced to be around town doing errands so sorry it's a day late.

First I'll be saying that GezeichneteSeelen, here is your little Zet/Saku scene :) It took me a while before I could figure out a way to get him a very special scene.

Second how was everyone's Halloween? What'd you dress up as? I was the chesire cat from Alice in Wonderland and sadly I was stuck in traffic for nearly 2 hours so I didn't get to do much trick or treating.

Also I will be having the poll on who you want Sakura to start falling for? remember the candidates are Itachi, Sasori, and Pein.

I think that's everything?... Oh yeah! What are your favorite rides or even foods from a fair? I love all rides and I love having the fried dough with powder, whipcream, and chocolate chips! (totally forgot the name right now but oh well.)

So yeah um review, follow, and leave a favorite please?

Later,

~Yoshi
