Spinning in circles... usually

He hadn’t been sure what to think of the great Harriet Potter. The way Ginny wrote of her, he had expected a Valkyrie bearing a greatsword and carved of marble; with the curse scar his other self had given her displayed like a crown, declaring her queen. The inaccuracy of this image led to immense disappointment. Her cropped and wily hair, like Perseus had missed Medusa’s head and had shaven the snakes instead, hid the scar from his gaze. The skinny thing, all bone and muscle, quivered in the presence of the grand chamber. In other words. She was pathetic. Lacking.

Sakura tapped her lip. “So people will know who snitched?” 

“Yes," Itachi said, "everyone in the Akatsuki would know that confidence has been broken and who broke it. What specific information leaked will be unknown — sadly. At least until Pein and Tobi have also found a way to embed that into a spell.” 

Sakura began setting up her cauldron and burner. “So what’s the consequence?”

“Several broken fingers.” 

Her eyes widened.

“On your non-dominant hand," Itachi quickly followed, "And you’ll likely need to vanish and regrow the bones. It’s more of a shatter than a break. ”

“What?!”

Snippet from chapter:

“Who?” Naruto asked.

Sakura sighed. “She’s the Hufflepuff who charmed your noodles to crawl onto your lap. I can’t believe you shoved it all in your mouth; that was gross by the way.”

“I was hungry! And it was about to escape to the floor!”

“You know all their names?” Sasuke asked.

“Yes?” Sakura said, a little unsure. "Don't you?"

Sasuke scratched his chin. “There is power in names.”

Naruto’s gaze raised from his wand to Sasuke. “Usage of names in spells is dark magic.”

“Yeah, that would be crossing the line, wouldn’t it."

Includes a table flip, some tea and my two favorite shinobi. Synopsis:

For the record, the Hokage did not appreciate being awoken at 3am. Neither did his Anbu guards. And if Sakura hadn’t just gotten off a double shift at the hospital she might have realized this.

Snippet:

Sakura's ears drooped back down as Itachi filled her in. 

His fingers found the tips of her left ear, the spot always hard to scratch. 

She gave a purr. 

He absently began talking, "Their disagreement had to do with the Dark Arts. With Madara, you cannot separate the man from the magic. He'd be nothing without it. It doesn't make him a bad person..."   

Chapter summary: In which Sakura takes a walk with Shisui at wand point - ok, maybe a minor exaggeration but she was coerced! Excerpt from chapter 8: Sakura stared into the black orbs watching her in curiosity, but no, Shisui’s mouth had drawn a much sharper smile that was cruel, crueler than Itachi’s. His top lip stretched even more to reveal his top row of teeth. She’d seen the smile before in her 2nd year, as he’d swooped by on a broom, picked Sasuke up by the armpits, and dropped him in the lake. Title: Concerning a Book, a Bunny and a Boy Rating: T Genre: Fantasy, Humor Story Summary Fourth-year Ravenclaw, Sakura Haruno, must navigate a changing political climate in which war is on the horizon.

Ch 17: Abyss Excerpt:

Sakura follows Madara's gaze, keeping him in the corner of her eye. When the wind dies, she hears water lapping, likely against sharp jagged rocks far below. The darkness feels like an entity, ready to leap and pull them over and into it. 

If she tries, would she really be able to stop him? Was this the gun on the staircase, this time with bullets inside? Title: Broken Rating: M Pairing: Sakura x Madara Story summary: Because we are all broken in one way or another, and in our mere humanity we hope for a happy resolution to our lives even if we believe we will never get it.
