Ok, this is the original three chapters that were already up, I merely put them all into one because they were so short… and I finally got Microsoft words so maybe it'll look a little bit better. I hope to start typing again soon… as soon as I unpack the notebook this was written in. and I'll upload each chapter separate at first and then combine them when, I have enough, to make it easier to read. Oh, and after trying for about half an hour to get this thing to look like it did when I typed it, I GIVE UP. If way this is typed looks stupid, blame FF.N for not allowing the change to take hold!
A/N: I don't plan for this story to be depressing it will swing back and forth and eventually have a happy ending. I'm trying to make it a Kaka/Saku fic but it keeps leaning towards Ita/Saku so it maybe Ita/sSaku turn Kaka/Saku by the end. In this story Kakashi is in his early thirties and Sakura and the others are around 18 or 19.
Prologue: down the rabbit wholeThe dripping blood on the soaked wall was the only noise accompanying Sakura's heavy breath. She couldn't believe it... she was finally free! He was dead! And could never touch her again. Unfortunately before she could really rejoice she realized she had been the one to kill him...her own father.
"I-I...killed him..." Sakura whispered to herself, looking in horror at her hands stained in her father's blood. "N-n-no! I di...I didn't mean..." Sakura began to hyper-venalate. She couldn't believe she'd actually killed her own father. She was little goody too shoes. She didn't kill innocent..."B-but he wasn't an innocent. He a-attacked me! It was self protection!" She looked around at the blood. "Wasn't it?"
-Flashback-
Sakura, now a twenty-year-old anbu, had come home late after a hard, emotionally draining mission. Her father, like usual, had come home drunk. And, like usual...
-Flashback end-
"He...he tried to ... I HAD TO!" Sakura broke down. Her mind numb. She slowly stood up and left, staggering out the door. When she was outside she took a few moments before jumping the rooftops and heading towards the forest outside the city.
End /prolougeA/N: Ok, this is your only warning: I have yet to actually see an episode with Tobi and Deidara (...did I spell his name right?) So if they're a little out of character, it's not my fault. And this doesn't actually follow any time line from Naruto. Sorry in advance for misspellings.
Ch.1 deeper down the rabbit wholeItachi, Deidara and Tobi had been wandering around for a few months since the destruction of the Akatsuki by team Kakashi, and with help from Jiraya and Tsunade.
"I can't believe those brats destroyed the Akatsuki! Un." Deidara whined for what seemed like the millionth time.
"Even Tobi is tiring of Deidara's whining..." Tobi sighed as he began to lag behind. "Can't we rest for a while?" Tobi whined leaning against a tree. Itachi slowed, ready to give in, if only it meant a few minutes silence from all the whining, when he saw a flash of an un-natural pink color in the small clearing to the left. He held up a hand to silence his 'companions' as he jumped to inspect the off colored thing. His eyes widened a little when he recognized whom the un-natural pink belonged to. Her hair was matted and what was left of her tattered clothing was covered in dry blood. Her gasping breaths were slowly getting worse and she had a small kitchen knife stuck in her upper left leg. He could tell that, with the exception of her leg, most of the blood matting her hair wasn't hers. And the owner of the blood was probably the one who stabbed the knife in her leg. Itatchi, in morbid curiosity, decided to heal her in hopes of finding out what the young kunoichi was doing alone this far away from leaf half-dead.
"HOLD IT! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING TO THAT... THAT... THING! UN." Deidara screeched in Itatchi's ear when he noticed the 'princess', as Tobi had nicknamed her. "Have you forgotten IT nearly blew me to the ends of the earth the last time we met!?! Un."
"Stop whining! I want to know what happened." Itatchi commanded. Itachi had decided he would learn everything he could about the little princess. After all, she was an interesting specimen. "He removed the knife from her leg and finished healing her. "And if she decides to attack us, we'll just kill her. After all she is alone this time."
"Tobi is curious too!" Tobi joyously jumped up and down while Deidara merely sulked a few, safe, feet away. "Wakey, wakey, Pinky-winkey!" Tobi practically yelled in Sakura's face when Itatchi finished. Of course Sakura's first instinct, being anbu, was to send a chakra filled punch flying directly into Tobi's gut. Deidara snickered as Tobi went flying past him, directly into a tree about four or five feet away.
"Ouchie!" Tobi whined, "Pinkey hurt Tobi!"
"Stuff it, whiney baby, un." Deidara smirked, cheering slightly from Tobi's pain.
However, after the punch sakura instantly came to her senses and jumped into a defensive stance. Itachi took a step forward and Sakura took a step back like a frightened animal.
"Sakura, look at me." Itachi said in his most commanding voice. Sakura looked fearfully into his red swirling eyes before falling into his arms in a dead sleep. Itachi merely threw her over his shoulder in a nonchalant manor and walked out of the clearing before jumping back into the trees. Continuing the interrupted journey. Deidara and Tobi just watched perplexed for a few seconds before realizing they were being left behind and quickly running to catch up.
End ch.1
I know I know its sooooo freakin short. But it's actually at least three written pages and the whole chapter two. it's also about 2am so my eyes are refusing to focus. Next time I'll try to start typing earlier and I'll put at least three chapters in one post. At least it'll seem longer that way. And hopefully it won't take me so long to remember to type the next chapter. The problem is I only have about six chapters written so far and I don't want to type them all and then get stuck with nothing.
A/N: Yes yes, I know, I've been spelling Itachi wrong... I'll go back and fix it later.
Ch. 2 Curiouser and Curiouser...
Sakura slowly came to that night with a curious Deidara staring down at her.
"I thought I blew you up..." Sakura deadpanned.
"You did un. I lived un." He said glaring daggers at her for the memory.
"Oh," She shrugged, "too bad." She sighed. Deidara paused.
"Haha, very funny un." He seethed.
"What is?" She replied coyly. This only succeeded in Deidara glaring harder.
"YOU BI-" "DEIDARA!" Tobi cut him off, glaring at the blond.
"You should never speak like that to a lady!" This comment caused the whole party, including Itachi, to pause and look at him as if he just grew an extra head. "What Tobi do?" He slightly whined while cringing away from their stares. Sakura couldn't help it. She slowly bean giggling before giving in and full out laughing. Deidara just stared at her, partially in amusement partially in fear she was finally going insane. Itachi just watched with little... actually no emotion, while Tobi joined in on the laughter before Deidara whacked him in the head.
"Where are we?" Sakura asked stopping her laughter.
"Almost to the safe house." Itachi whispered before throwing more wood into the fire.
"And I assume you wouldn't tell me near what village said safe house is even if I begged."
"No." He stated simply. Sakura just watched him for a few moments before it actually clicked that she was in unknown territory with three enemies. She quickly jumped up and went back into defense mode. "Sit down Sakura." Itachi sighed, and Sakura obeyed without question. "We won't hurt you unless you attack first. Now, would you like to tell me why you were in the forest covered in blood that obviously wasn't yours?" He asked with slight curiosity in his voice. Sakura bowed her head in obvious shame.
"I killed my father." She whispered almost too low to hear. "It was self defense. but I doubt the council of civilian will see it that way. He was a civilian and I was anbu. They'll see it as cold blooded murder." The group was quiet. Deidara and Tobi were shocked.
"You said it was self defense, what did he do?" Itatchi asked standing up and walking over to sit in front of her, beginning a staring contest to see who would give first.
-Hokage's office-the next morning.-
"Lady Tsunade? There's a woman here to see you. She says she's Sakura's mother" Shizune said waiting outside the hokage's door.
"What does she want with me?" Tsunade answered.
"She says it's something urgent about sakura."
"Fine, let her in."
"Hokage-sama..." Sakura's mother whispered when she was standing in front of the desk. "Please don't kill sakura It was self defense!" She began babbling, talking louder and louder. "He's never been that of a father and I know he's done... things to her. So-."
"HOLD IT!" Tsunade interrupted. "What the heck are you talking about?!" Sakura's mother looked around, starting to fear a mistake.
"You... you didn't know?" She whispered frightened.
"What didn't I know that would cause me to need to kill Sakura?" Tsunade nearly screamed beginning to worry about her disciple.
"I--it would be easier... to show you." Sakura's mother said walking out. Tunade becoming more suspicious followed grabbing Shizune on the way out.
-At Sakura's house-
Sakura's mom opened the door. "I'm not going near there. I've seen it once. That's enough for me." Tsunade and shizune looked at her questioningly before walking in.
End ch.2A/N ok, like I said, I just realized this chapter that I've been misspelling Itachi. If you notice anyone else's name is misspelled, please tell me.
