Summary: She always thought bad boys were cool, but this takes it to the extreme. "What do you mean you're a gang leader?" Sakura shrieked. "I had to let you know, Sakura. You're more involved than you think you are," Pein said regretfully.

Warning: Rated M for some swearing and pervertedness.

"Don't you remember me?"

Short recap:

"Yeah, okay, whatever, Prince," Sakura said teasingly.

"I'm your Prince?" Pein asked, his interest heightened at the nickname.

"Maybe... well if you want me to demote you, I guess you could be my knight in shining armor. And because you sound so gentlemanly... all the time even though you're a gang leader. Stop it!"

"I believe Prince was a better suited title for me. And if you wish... let's chow down some food?"

"Okay, stop it. Go back to being a gentleman."

"Yes, Princess."

End recap.

.

It was now late December. A few months had passed by smoothly with no unfortunate incidents. Sakura continued to date Pein and formed close friendships with most of his gang members, surprisingly. She also continued to come up with excuses about Pein to Sasuke, who was becoming increasingly suspicious as the days flew by. Her brother, Sasori persisted on trying to gain a chance to talk with her with no luck.

Sakura refused to skip class again for Pein but she made up for it by spending her free time with him. She genuinely enjoyed the time she spent with him, even though he was a pain in the ass sometimes. Ever the demanding one, Pein insisted they go on plenty of dates - some of which Sakura demanded that they go see a movie as he had never seen one before. She found out plenty of information on his life before he met her. It was intriguing, to say the least.

Dating Pein was tiring... sometimes. He was a pervert while she was not... most of the time, at least. She had to slap his wandering hands from coming too close to certain parts of her body several times. They haven't even kissed yet unless you count the ones on the cheeks. She knew he was becoming impatient although he chose not to show it. Although he tended to roam with his hands quite often, she knew he wouldn't pass any boundary and would wait -as restless as he was- for her to make the first move.

She thought back on her first movie date with Pein.

.

When Pein was given the choice to decide on a movie, he just had to choose a scary one. Sakura scoffed and said, "Scary movies are not even scary at all!"

"We'll see about that, Princess," his lips lifting into a small smirk.

They entered the movie theatre after buying (actually, Pein was the one who paid) some snacks to munch on later. The couple settled on the very back of the theatre, with Sakura wanting to see the whole screen from afar. They sat on comfy seats. Pein moved the armrest up and back and he lightly tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention. When she looked at him, he patted his lap.

"Why can't we just sit on separate seats?" Sakura whispered agitatedly.

He merely raised an eyebrow at her, his eyes gesturing to his lap. For some reason, he always wanted her on his lap. She huffed and got up from her seat, plopping on his lap rather harshly.

Pein winced from the contact but wrapped his arms around her waist. "That was too severe, Princess. My manhood is not used to taking damage from you yet." He leaned forward and aimed for her earlobe, scraping the bare edge lightly with his teeth. Sakura sucked in an audible breath, not knowing what to do or say.

"As retribution, you should heal it," he whispered sexily in her ear, his voice dripping with barely-contained lust and warmth.

"Pein..." Sakura started to say shakily.

"You sound quite enticing when you speak of my name, Sa-ku-ra," he practically purred.

Whoa. Hold up. Was this the first time he called me by my name? Hot damn... Sakura shook her head, waking herself up from a self-induced daze. She gathered her composure and said sternly, "The movie is going to start soon."

As if on cue, the lights dimmed and chatter from others nearby died down. Trailers from other movies commenced playing and Sakura leaned on Pein's chest and started munching on her popcorn. She started squirming slowly as to not attract attention from the man behind her, in order to get comfortable. It didn't work as he grunted, a sign letting her know he was possibly, most likely getting turned on from the action. She immediately stopped and felt her cheeks flame, thankful for the darkness.

About ten minutes into the film, she felt the bottom edge of her shirt being toyed with. Inwardly shrugging away at the action she deemed innocent, she returned her focus on the movie.

"Help! Someone help me! Is someone there? Please, what's going on?" the main character frantically said to an empty, dark room.

Hm... something's tickling me, Sakura faintly noted.

"Please, I didn't do anything wrong! If it's money I have a lot of it!" This time, the man desperately banged on the locked, rusty door.

Something moved in the shadows and hissed, catching the man's attention. The man slowly turned around, eyes wildly searching for the culprit. His eyes widened when something shot out from the darkness and deeply bit off his ankle, causing him to scream loudly-

Sakura jumped from the bare contact Pein's hand made with her stomach. He lightly chuckled, his warm breath delicately hitting her neck. His hand inched higher, softly massaging the skin as he went with a target in mind. Before he reached his destination, she grabbed his hand as a warning for him to control himself.

"Stop it!" she whispered furiously, "Pay attention to the movie!"

"Oh but I am, Princess. You are my movie. The expression and actions you perform are enough to be classified as entertaining." He nuzzled her neck before planting a small kiss, causing Sakura to shiver.

.

He really is a pervert. For Kami's sake, he had sex with so many other women and here I am, denying him anything, Sakura continued to think. It was a miracle he was still with her. She just had to grow some balls and kiss him.

Christmas was approaching in two days and she didn't know what to give Pein. After some thinking, Sakura came up with the idea of initiating a kiss with him. Their first kiss! To be honest, she was nervous. He was just so... handsome and dangerous and she was just there. Not that she wasn't a beauty but she couldn't help but feel intimidated by his presence at times, especially when he imposed his authoritative tone on her when she refused to do something.

Sakura was relieved from her musing by the sound of the doorbell ringing.

That must be Pein!

She eagerly ran downstairs to open the door and saw him standing there, looking handsome as always with his impressive piercings.

"Hi," she said shyly.

"Hello, Princess. Do I not get a kiss?" he asked, amused at her bashfulness.

Speaking of kisses...

She stood on her tiptoes and reached for the left side of his pale cheek, her lips softly touching the intended target which lingered for a few seconds before she pulled back. She could taste his usual masculine smell on her tongue which consisted of car grease, old paper and a hint of cologne.

"Where are we going tonight?" she asked.

"Would you like to relax at the Akatsuki?"

Sakura bit her lip, thinking of her answer before replying, "Is Sasori going to be there?"

"He won't get in our way," he immediately appeased her.

She shrugged, nodding her head. "Sure, why not?"

They did the usual safety procedure before riding off on the motorbike, heading for the Akatsuki lair.

.

When they arrived at the small, black cabin, Deidara was there to greet them. "Boss, Sakura-chan! Hey, didn't expect to see you here, yeah!"

Sakura instantly scoped the area for her brother, her tense form relaxing when there was no sign of red hair or anybody else, for that matter. She turned to Deidara and asked cutely, "Ne, ne, Deidara-kun, remember you said there was more to this place here. Can you show me now?"

Deidara's face perked up excitedly before nodding a few times. "Hai, Sakura-chan! Just press this button over here!" He grabbed her hand and attempted to pull her over to an ominous painting of a dark background with red clouds.

Pein stepped forward and growled -literally growled!- at the action, his eyes shooting Deidara's hand a death stare, causing Deidara to drop his grip. Deidara sheepishly laughed and Sakura rolled her eyes, used to his possessiveness by now.

"Anyways..." Sakura started to say, looking over at Deidara for more information about the so-called button.

"It's under the painting, Sakura-chan!"

She lifted the painting and spotted a small, black button, not hesitating to press it.

What happened next occurred so fast she almost didn't see the room expanding, furniture changing into tables with guns of all sizes laying upon them, walls lined up with more pistols, the pool table turning into a bar filled with plenty of alcohol bottles, or most of all, the television into a holographic GPS tracking map.

She blinked a few times before saying in awe, "Whoa..."

Pein walked over to her and placed his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply before murmuring, "I could have shown you this months before had you asked, Princess."

"Well I didn't know if you were open to showing me your secrets and whatnot," she said in her defense.

"I believe you were informed concerning my past, the very least."

Even if he didn't intentionally intend to make her feel guilty, she felt the guilt nonetheless. Sakura knew she hasn't revealed much of her past when he was willing to tell her about his. Back in those days, trust was hard, and it only became increasingly difficult after losing those precious to her. "Sorry... Pein-kun," she whispered the last part so only he could hear. He had told her once that he liked the honorific on his name although they were much more close than that.

"I was not trying to make you feel remorseful, Princess," his voice softened in a tone that was reserved just for her.

"I know, I know. I promise I'll tell you everything soon."

Pein pressed a kiss on her forehead, silently agreeing to her promise.

"You guys are so cute! Boss, you should find me a girl like Sakura-chan, yeah?" Deidara was staring at them fondly and wiggled his eyebrows naughtily.

Pein smirked arrogantly before saying, "I wish you luck, Deidara. There is no one that comes close to her."

Deidara deflated like a balloon running out of air and whined, "Don't crush my dreams, yeah!"

Sakura laughed at the two. She loved seeing Pein interact with his friends even if he was their leader. He was the one who brought control, power and money under the Akatsuki's name. Although he liked to impose his authority often, he showed his friendly side only to his loyal members.

The backdoor suddenly burst open -Wait, what? There's a backdoor in this house?!- to reveal two bloody figures standing there, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Hello, Leader. We are back from our excursion," said one of the men, his voice a little raspy and dark.

Sakura eep-ed at the sight of the two covered in blood, causing the two men to stare at her.

"My Sakura-chan!" The man with long, spiked black hair attempted to pounce on her but failed and stumbled. Pein had grabbed her to avoid the incoming tackle, giving the mysterious man a piercing look.

"What the.." Sakura squinted in trying to remember where she had seen this face before. He had heterochromia, meaning two different colored eyes. One red, one purple. It was very odd, but his fringe covered his red from letting others notice unless one looked really hard for it. His features were very handsome and sculpted, reminding Sakura of a certain Uchiha. His looks could almost come close to Pein- but of course, Pein was the best-looking guy in the world, in her opinion.

"Don't you remember me? I'm your Mada-chan!" he stated happily.

She blinked before saying, "Oh... the pervert of all time, Madara."

Said man slowly sank to the floor, gripping his hair with his hands. "I'm not a pervert, I'm not a pervert, I'm not a pervert..."

Pein raised an eyebrow at the spectacle and cleared his throat. "How do you know him, Princess?"

"Princess?" Madara's head shot up, staring accusingly into Pein's eyes.

"Sakura-hime, I hope you did not forget about me as well," the other man cut in. Although his hair was stained with red, it was a light, grassy green. His facial features were bichromatic, the left half of his face in white and the right half in black. His cat-shaped yellow eyes gave off a mysterious, gleaming look. He was quiet in observing the situation between the three.

"Sakura-hime?" Pein and Deidara asked at the same time.

"Well, this isn't awkward at all..." Sakura rubbed her head sheepishly. "Okay, so first of all, Madara is a pervert, enough said. Second of all, Zetsu-chan, why the hell did you paint your face black and white? Third of all, they were my bodyguards... and sort of babysitters years ago when Mom and Dad weren't home. And lastly, Zetsu believed I looked like a princess with my pink hair."

"For the last time, I'm not a pervert!" Madara shouted in defense.

"To show I am different," Zetsu answered her question.

"Sakura-chan, why did you need so many babysitters, yeah? Were you a problem child?" Deidara joked.

"Not really. Kisame was my usual babysitter. My parents were overprotective and hired two bodyguards for me. I guess being the debt collectors they are, they're worried about those that have no money to pay back may come after me instead. Besides, if I'm gonna have two people looking after me 24/7, I might as well get to know them, right?"

Deidara nodded sagely, running his hands over his invisible beard. "Yes, yes, I see now, yeah." Sakura burst out laughing at all the yeses in his response. "But why is Madara a pervert?" Deidara asked.

"He's also a pedophile. He liked to sniff my panties when I was at school," Sakura said bluntly, causing one set of eyes to widen and another set of eyes glaring.

"W-what, I would never do that to my dear Sakura-chan!" Madara spluttered.

"Don't lie to me, Madara-hentai! Zetsu-chan told me," she countered petulantly.

"Quite disgusting, I must say. I am most loyal to Sakura-hime," Zetsu rasped. He muttered, arguing to himself, "But maybe I shouldn't have said anything and joined him instead." "No, you would've gotten Sakura-hime mad at us!"

"At least I haven't forced a kiss on Sakura-chan!" Madara smiled wickedly.

Sakura's cheeks flared hotly, glaring angrily at Madara. "For the last time, he didn't force me! I asked him to!"

"What are you speaking of, Princess?" Pein cut in before anyone else could say anything. Unnoticed to Sakura, he was brooding in jealousy, wondering how on this planet she knew his friends, when she was supposed to be his, alone.

"Nothing!" she said quickly, "Maybe we should do something else like clean them up? They're all bloody," she tried to change the subject.

"Zetsu mouth-raped Sakura-chan! Zetsu mouth-raped Sakura-chan!" Madara chanted in a tune, now jumping up and down.

Pein stiffened and bit out angrily, "What?"

Sakura waved her hands, shaking her head no frantically. "He didn't mouth-rape me, as what the pervert calls it! I swear!"

"Zetsu mouth-raped Sakura-chan! Zetsu mou-" Sakura went over to Madara and smacked him on the back of his head really hard, effectively silencing him.

"As I was saying..." Sakura grit her teeth, fuming. "It happened years ago. I was 16 and wanted my first kiss. Madara was too old so he wasn't an option and Zetsu was only three years older than me, so I asked him if he could show me how to kiss. It was nothing though, just a thing in the past," she said quickly, looking at Pein pleadingly. He definitely doesn't need to know I was crushing on Zetsu at the time!

"Sakura-hime, I'm hurt. It was nothing?" Zetsu mocked.

Sakura sighed, exasperated. She put her hands up in the air and exclaimed, "I can't even please anyone these days, sheesh!"

"I am kidding, Sakura-hime. Although it was wonderful," he smiled mischievously.

Pein was becoming stiffer by the second, not appreciating the comments. He said monotonously, "I see."

Sakura felt horrible for making him feel this way and rolled her eyes. Oh, for Heaven's sake. Screw the two days! Let's just do it!

A burst of confidence came from within and she gripped the back of Pein's head with her hand tightly, making him lean slightly forward and causing him to look curiously at her. She closed her eyes, quickly pressing her lips on to his and faintly heard whoops and shouts of indignation. But all she could fully hear was how loud her heart was beating and feel the nervousness in her stomach and how utterly soft his lips were. She moved her lips tortuously slow, igniting a passionate response from him. He was frozen in shock, not moving until he snapped out of it, promptly shutting his eyes and wrapped an arm around her waist and a hand placed on her neck.

He returned the kiss with more fervor, his lips moved lovingly over hers and his tongue lightly ran across her bottom lip, coaxing her mouth to open. When she complied, he slipped his tongue inside and met hers, causing her to gasp at the sensation. His tongue gently caressed hers before it quickly turned into a hot battle for domination, with Pein winning.

At this point, Sakura was breathing heavily through her nose and trying not to faint from intense kissing. It was only his grip on her waist that kept her from falling down. Pein sensed she was at her limit and ardently explored her mouth one last time before nipping and sucking on her lower lip, making Sakura lowly moan.

She opened her eyes, looking dazedly at Pein as he pulled back from her lips, a small amount of saliva glistening on both of their lips. He licked his own lips before he said deeply, "Finally."

Madara chose to break the moment as he dramatically wailed, "Pein-chan took her innocence away!" He went back on the floor and rolled around like a lunatic.

Pein's eyebrow twitched. "Pein-chan?"

"Pein-chan... I like it," Sakura said dreamily, still lost in her own world.

"How unfair of you, Leader, for you to taste her essence," Zetsu eerily stated.

"You've had your share Zetsu. If anything, I should be the one to plant my calloused lips against her soft, beautiful ones..." Madara crossed his hands together, spacing out.

Pein narrowed his eyes and said demandingly, "You will cease reflecting thoughts about her. All of you. This is an order."

Madara pouted and whined, "Fine, ruin all the fun why don't you!"

Deidara rolled his eyes and agreed with Madara. "Don't worry, he gets even more possessive of her, yeah."

Pein directed his attention to Sakura, who was still putty in his arms. He lightly shook her and asked, "Are you alright, Princess?"

No response from Sakura.

Aww yeah, his lips and tongue... His tongue was so good and his lips were so amazing... Do it again...

"Madara's sniffing your panties again," Zetsu helpfully said. Sakura immediately shook out of her daze and looked for Madara and glared at him, who cowered from the intensity of the look.

Then something strange happened.

Two rapid knocks were heard from the ground before Deidara swiftly returned three stomps of his own. Sakura stared at Deidara with a perplexed look, to which he quickly explained, "Most of our base is underground, yeah. We have a partner system and have a knocking code that's like a signal. If our partner is down there and wants to come upstairs, the other person has to respond, signaling them that it's safe."

"You have more territoryx?!" Sakura gaped.

"I own Amegakure," Pein input smoothly.

"What-"

A trapdoor sprung open and a handful of red hair popped out. Sasori pulled himself up and stood up, staring directly at Sakura. Her eyes widened, ready to bolt.

"Sakura, wait please! Just give me one chance to explain myself," Sasori said quickly and desperately.

"No-"

"I beg of you, Sakura. I'll tell you everything you want to know. After that, you don't even have to speak with me anymore," he insisted.

The offer was too good to resist. The past times he tried to speak with her was shot down by Pein, leaving Sakura no choice but to listen to her boyfriend.

Pein said with an edge to his voice, "Sasori, have I not ordered you multiple times to stay away-"

"You'll answer my every question?" Sakura suddenly asked.

"Princess, I don't think you should-"

"Pein, this is my choice and even if I may not like it now, he's still my brother," Sakura scowled at her lover. It was time she made her own decision concerning her family member.

"Fine. So be it," Pein's voice came out strained.

Zetsu abruptly said, "Leader, we have a problem." He pointed to the holographic map. Many red dots sported across the screen, indicating enemies.

"Seems like the Sound don't approve of listening" Pein calmly replied.

"Time to explode people. Finally, yeah!" Deidara cheered.
