The Mission That Went Wrong

Sakura's POV

"Hurry up Sakura!" Naruto yelled.

"I got it! I'm just checking to see if I have-" Kakashi suddenly tackled me. "Wha-"

"Shh." We stopped but I couldn't hear anything. "Someone's listening." He said aloud.

"You're good Kakashi, but I'm better." The tree that I leaned against suddenly transformed.

"Uchiha Itachi." Itachi had a kunai at my throat. "Don't you dare hurt her!" Kakashi growled.

"I wouldn't talk back or you don't know what'll happen." He touched my hair and I froze. "Hm..strawberry."

"What?" I questioned cautiously.

"Your hair smells like strawberries." He whispered. I saw Sasuke struggle but Kakashi held him back. "It's nice to see you again, little brother." Sasuke growled and Kakashi held tighter. "Be careful, little brother."

"Naruto!" I screamed but Naruto just growled.

"I can't move. I'm sorry." Kisame grabbed Naruto.

"Don't hurt him!" I yelled.

"Oh, don't worry. It's not him we're after. It's you." I stopped moving.

"Then I know what you're after." I broke free from Itachi.

"So you understand why you must come with us." I nodded reluctantly.

"Let him go though." He nodded and Kisame threw Naruto to the ground. I ran over to him to check for injuries. Thankfully, there were no major injuries.

"Sakura…" I gave him my necklace and smiled sadly.

"I won't promise anything." Right then and there, I escaped.

"After her!" Itachi yelled.

"My pleasure!" Kisame cackled. "Let the chase begin!" He appeared in front of me but, I flipped and went over him. Finally I stopped.

"Brother?" There was a shadowy figure that was standing in front of me with the same jade eyes.

"Come here Sakura." I tackled him.

"I missed you so much."

"I know." However, something caught my attention. My brother who was standing in front of me was wearing an Akatsuki uniform. I pushed him away and held a kunai out at him, even if I didn't want to.

"Now I understand." I scoffed. "You betrayed me. You betrayed Konoha!" I screamed at him. Suddenly I got weak in the knees and collapsed while throwing up.

"Hey, Sakura! What's wrong?!"

"Don't touch me, you traitor!" I slapped his hand away.

"Your body has grown weak since the last time I saw you."

"Oh, really? When was that? Like five years?! It's none of your business. I just haven't eaten for a few days. Not that big of a deal." I got up. "Anyways, what are you waiting for? I'm weak, I can't fight. I'm the perfect target." My brother nodded and Itachi took me.

"I'm sorry." He looked at the ground in regret but, I knew better. I hated the person who was standing in front of me. "Leader, we've got the girl." My brother spoke into the headset.

"Good, bring her to me." When I was on Itachi's back, I cried. He sped up, away from Kisame and my brother.

"Hurts, doesn't it? To have Rei betray you." He stopped and carried me in his arms instead.

"What are you doing?" I asked quietly.

"This way, they won't see if you cry." He held me tightly. Even if Itachi was part of the Akatsuki group, it seemed like he was the only one I needed out of this whole mess.

"This is such a bad day." He looked at me, surprised.

"Well, let me tell you something. You're handling this case a lot better than the other people we've encountered. All of them wanted to fight to the death. Look at it this way, you still have your life so isn't that something to be happy about? You also get to see Rei after all these years." I listened quietly.

"I guess." Suddenly my brother caught up.

"How is she?" I ignored him.

"Sakura, I'm-" I interrupted him.

"Sorry? I've heard one too many excuses already." He didn't reply.

"I'm not asking for your forgiveness. I know I betrayed you and I understand you probably hate me but, Konoha betrayed me." I got off Itachi and got to the closest branch.

"What are you doing?" Itachi asked.

"Nothing." I stood for a minute until Kisame held my hands behind my back.

"Keep moving." I kicked him away.

"Don't touch me!" I yelled. "Do you hear something?" I looked around.

"If there's nothing, then we need to keep on moving." Itachi stated. I nodded and went but an eerie feeling lingered in my mind.

"Ow…" I winced.

"Are you alright?" Itachi asked.

"Yeah, it's nothing, just a small headache." I kept moving until I missed a branch and slipped. "Itachi!" He grabbed me and covered for me until we hit the ground.

"Ugh…" I groaned again.

"Are you sure you're alright, Sakura?" Itachi asked. I didn't get up until the throbbing subsided. "Here. Eat." I rejected it.

"No. I don't want to eat." I pushed it away.

"The reason you're not feeling well, is that you've been starving yourself. You're already burning up!" He leaned me against a tree. "You guys! We're camping here." They came back.

"Rei, go get some water from the river nearby." Itachi held me while I rested. "Maybe it really is your bad day." However, before I knew it, I had passed out.

Itachi's POV

"Here." Rei handed me the water.

"Freeze it into ice cubes." He nodded. "You know, your sister is really something for a kunoichi." He nodded again. "Do you still care for your sister?" I asked.

"Of course! It's just…" He hesitated.

"Just…" I knew I was pushing the limit but I wanted to see what his response was.

"She doesn't even want to see me! I betrayed her!" He yelled.

"True, but how do you know she doesn't want to see you? She might be mad at you, but I'm sure she doesn't hate you." He didn't say anything while I put ice on her body. She gasped and I quieted her. "You're alright. You'll be fine."

"You're good." I looked at him.

"Believe it or not, I was like this with Sasuke, the boy who was being restrained by Kakashi. He is my younger brother and I used to take care of him like this when my mother and father were gone." I put my forehead against Sakura's. "Still burning. Do you want to hold her while she's unconscious?" He nodded and bent over. However, just as he was about to touch her, a force shot Rei backwards. I looked at Sakura as she started to wake. "Hey, are you feeling better?" She nodded a bit and stood up. Sakura wobbled a bit and her brother stabilized her.

"You shouldn't move yet!" Rei yelled out in concern.

"I'm fine!" She was still angry and pushed her brother away.

"Sakura, I'm sorry! But what's done is done!" He explained. She glared at Rei but it also had a hint of sadness.

"I know. But let me run away from it a bit longer." She ran towards the river where Kisame was training. Rei tried to go after her but I held him back.

"Don't. Just let her go and cool her head. You'd only be fueling the fire if you tried to explain everything now." I looked at the direction she ran off, a bit worried.
