Chapter 1
This has spoilers up to manga chapter 365 you've been warned.
Sakura ran, the trees passing her by looked like a blur as she flew through them. She was tired and pissed, after learning that the Akatsuki and Sasuke's group were in the area her team had split up her only companions two ninja dogs that Kakashi had so willingly gave her. She cursed, if the Akatsuki was there that meant Itachi and she had no doubt that her former teammate was pursuing him relentlessly. She paused landing on the green foliage that surrounded her.
If Sasuke and Itachi meet…The thought leaving her as fear ran its way up her system. She looked down noticing the hounds staring up at her expectantly. No use thinking like that. I'll just have to hurry. Her resolve returning she jumped up landing on a thick branch before flying into the air. Her cloak danced behind her, catching branches against the fine material. Sakura tensed, landing on the ground she turned towards the dogs noticing they too had stopped.
"What…what is it?" Worry etched into her voice as they sniffed the air. She glanced at her surroundings thinking it was eerie that all noise had stopped around her. Panicked seized her leaving behind all reason and doubt, she knew why it was quite. She slowly turned around, her heart beating against her cage drowning out the laugh of his voice. Sakura looked up meeting the gaze of the sadistic face of Kisame Hoshigaki.
"Ah what's this? You know little girls like you shouldn't be out here, you could get hurt?" His laugh sending goose bumps against her skin. She pulled out a kunai holding it up as a defense against the monstrous ninja.
Of all the Akatsuki to meet why him? Sakura had read about him, the blood thirsty missing nin from mist who was also an alleged former seven swordsmen. She shivered hugging the cloak closer to her body as he stood there. His black cloak doing nothing against the two feet he was able to tower her over with. Sakura was no idiot, going through records in Tsunade-sama's office trying to learn all about the Akatsuki had left her knowledge about what they could accomplish and had. She knew that she couldn't kill him opting to bring him in for questioning and hopefully be able to weave his partner out of hiding. She turned to the dogs beside her, knowing that she would have to contact Kakashi about the new development.
The dog to her right nodded about to disappear, Kisame beat it to it however as he brought his sword down catching the dog nin's off-guard as they poofed into smoke around her. She jumped out of the way his sword lightly grazing the calf of her flesh. Landing on the ground a couple feet away she winced putting her hand onto the red bleeding meat of her leg. Although he had barely skimmed her his sword was massive and was able to pull chunks out of flesh with just the tip.
Damn, her thoughts whirling as he brought his sword at her again. She was forced to block using the small kunai in her hands as a defense against his sword. He was heavy his brute strength pushing into her as she parried. She rolled to the side missing a punch thrown to her head.
Sakura smiled at him bringing a massive chakra induced fist into the ground. A crunch was heard before the ground gave way, rocks flown into the air. Sakura panted stamina slowly leaving her as she swiped away the sweat from her forehead.
I have to end this quickly before his partner arrives. She looked up, her eyes squinting at the prone figure three feet away. Green orbs met small steely eyes and a toothy grin, his body unharmed. Her hands twitched at the thought of smacking that grin off his face.
Sakura composed herself, letting the sweat roll down her face as she healed her leg, running the cool chakra over her skin as she breathed. He's not to fast, if I can just figure out a way to distract him I could probably win. Quickly her mind coming up with a plan she looked up. He stood there his lips opening to show more of his jagged teeth.
"Haha so the little kunoichi's a medic nin." Kisame's amused laughs echoing through the forest. Somehow the thought of killing him didn't upset her anymore.
Screw bringing him in, I'll take the blame for killing him from Tsunade-sama later. With that thought she lunged at him throwing three kunai at the suspected victim. Kisame blocked, using his giant sword as a shield.
"Ha your going to have to do better then that if you want to hurt me little girl" He swung his sword the force of it tearing into the flesh off her body. Sakura looked surprised, a mixture of shock covering her face before disappearing into a cloud of smoke. A curse was heard before he located her, causing him to turn. He noticed to late however as she threw a punch into his face, knocking the missing nin off his feet.
Kisame slid back using his sword to stop the momentum from flying into the trees.
"Shit!" His hand coming up to rub his jaw, now broken from the chakra laded punch. Sakura smirked her hand slightly sore from the impact. She looked up noticing he had gone rigged.
Kisame frowned all lightness taken away into something more sinister as Sakura felt cold dread around her. Suddenly he disappeared a hard kick was landed to her stomach sending her flying into a nearby tree.
She wheezed, the air from her lungs leaving her as she hunched on the ground fighting back the pain from the now broken ribs. She quickly stood up, ignoring the probably punctured lung and blocking a flying kunai with her arm. The deadly weapon barely missing her vitals.
She grunted pulling the obscure item from her forearm and throwing it back with acute accuracy. She heard the sound of metal hitting flesh and grinned. Her victory was short lived however as a pain shot through her body. Sakura fell looking up into a grinning face before darkness engulfed her.
Sakura woke up to the harsh chill of cold cement and dirt. Slightly panicked she tried to move but thought better of it when a sharp pain rocketed through her body. She winced slowly gathering her bearings as she took air into her lungs, noticing the indeed still broken ribs as she breathed. She would have to heal that soon or risk internal bleeding.
That wouldn't be good, she slightly mused. Knowing to take in her surroundings first she slowly cracked open an eye letting her vision accommodate to the small surroundings of her person. The walls and floor were bare, the only light coming from the crack under the door.
Slowly as to not agitate her wounds Sakura began to move her arms thanking that they weren't bound.
Bastards, probably thought I wasn't a threat, she told herself. Knowing that this was partially true given her bloody state and low chakra reserves, it still however didn't hurt to think she was still an enemy nin and a damned good one at that.
Oh well, she thought. She brought a hand to her side allowing the small amount of chakra into her body. She mended the ribs carefully, being cautious as she quickly analyzed her body sending chakra through her system. Deciding she didn't have any life threatening injuries, she pulled her hand away a sigh escaping her lips. Exhausted and sore she overcame to the darkness once again.
After my first one-shot I noticed that it had alot of hits but barely anyone reviewed. So I want to thank those of you who did and thanks for adding me to your favorites. This will be a multi-chapter fic.
