Sakuras eyes slowly blinked open. She didn't recognize her new surroundings, and she mentally cursed herself. If she hadn't fallen asleep she would have somewhat of an idea. But…she already had somewhat of an idea.

Sakura didn't know what they wanted with her, but she was guessing she was in their base. That was one question, but she had one more. ' Why do they want me?'

Sakura was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't realize the onyx eyes staring at her from across the room. She jumped in surprise. Itachi being unfazed.

Moments passed and he still stared at her. " Do you ever blink" sakura mumbled. Itachi ignored her and continued staring.

Finally sakura decided she didn't care anymore, and stood up from the bed she had been laying on. There were no windows, one door, and the walls were a sun-kissed brown. The floors were made up of brick, broken brick, and spots with no brick at all.

Objects in the room were a small three drawer dresser, a dusty desk with dusty books, a red, devastatingly ugly rug, and of course the small twin bed with a thin mattress and sheets.

And also, of course, the wooden chair by the door that held itachi, sitting with his elbow on the arm of the chair and his cheek resting in his hand.

When sakura was done looking around, she turned her head to itachi, "what now?" she was glaring daggers through his head. And she hoped he heard the tone of her voice that said I-want-to-so-badly-tie-you-up-and-shove-you-off-a-mountain.

She didn't get a reply from itachi, nor did she expect one. He was very anti-social.

Sakura crossed her arms over her chest and sighed. An idea of escape suddenly popped into her head and she was quick to put it to action.

"Uhm, itachi?" she asked.

"Hn"

" So what happens if I have to uh, go to the bathroom?" she knew it sounded stupid, but it might get her out of this place.

"Do you need to go?" he asked. His face remained blank and he continued staring. It was quite funny actually. Hearing an s-class criminal ask someone if they had to 'go'.

Hoping she could fool the s-class criminal she replied, "yes"

Itachi seemed to look at her deeply, and decided that he shouldn't keep a girl from doing her business. He sighed and stood up from the wooden chair.

Sakura walked toward him and watched as he unlocked the door. He grabbed her by the arm and walked her down a hall.

Sakura took that chance to memorize every hallway, door, and window. There was still a chance that she wouldn't escape and somewhat knowing her way around would come in handy.

Itachi had led her through a large door and inside was a bathroom. He pushed sakura forward, indicating hat she do her business.

"Oh 'common!" sakura exclaimed. "You don't expect me to do this in front of you."

"I do." He said flatly. 'Pervert' sakura thought.

"Its not like there's anywhere I could escape to! And you would be right out side the door to stop me if I did!"

Itachi thought for a moment. " If you try to escape your punishment will be severe."

"Fine." With that itachi left the bathroom and stood outside the door like sakura had mentioned. When the door closed, sakura looked for any possible way to escape from the base.

There wasn't a single air vent, or window. No possible way to escape from the bathroom. But how would she get past itachi?

Is it humanly possible to catch the uchiha off guard? Sakura didn't know, but she was going to find out.

Sakura didn't know which way she was going to run. Left or right? But she approached the door and opened it slightly. Itachi was on the left, so, right!

As soon as sakura was half way through the door, her legs felt like jelly. She was scared. But she had to try.

The jelly-ness didn't stop her though. She took off down the hall as fast as her legs would carry her. Itachi had instantly followed in pursuit. And he was very fast.

Sakura started to doubt that she would ever make it out alive. I mean, she had hopes, but they were fading away.

Sakura was so caught up in thought that she didn't notice two things.

One: itachi was almost close enough to grab her.

And two: she was about to run into a wall.

Sakura tried to stop running but by the time she was four feet away from the brick wall she fell. Itachi, not being so graceful either, in effort to stop him self from falling, jumped over the fallen kunoichi and almost hit the wall as well.

Sakura took this as an opening to run again, but her arm was yanked back and practically ripped out of the socket. Itachi had thrown her against the wall, pressing his arm to her back. Sakura tried kicking, but itachi had some how stopped her legs from moving. She grunted.

Sakuras face pressed against the cold wall. The cement prickled her cheeks. For a moment she thought she couldn't breath he was pressing her so hard.

"I warned you about a punishment, did I not?" itachi sounded angry.

When sakura didn't answer he thought it was because lack of oxygen. So of course he pressed harder, breaking one of her ribs.

Sakura let out a pain filled croak that was meant to be an agonizing scream.

"Did I not?" itachi repeated.

"Y-yes" sakura choked.

Itachi grabbed her by the back of the neck and held her arms behind her back. He harsh fully and forcefully walked her to the room she was in before, threw her in, and closed the door.

Sakura could swear she heard the door lock from the outside.

Sakura had landed on her knees. As she started to get up, she noticed the blood pouring from her knee.

"Perfect." She mumbled. She thought about healing it, but decided to save her chakra for another try at escape. Broken rib forgotten.

"what the hell am I going to do?" she sighed out loud.
