Chapter Two
Sakura's knees started to shake as she looked at the whole face of the person who saved her. When was the last time she had seen him? His black hair, his onyx sometimes red eyes, the sharingan now occupying it. For some reason, he seemed taller then when she had last seen him, but she had tried to forget him hadn't she? The one that was forbidden to her, as was the same for him. Itachi. ((I am so sorry, I probably should have said Sasuke, but I have another plan for him…))
Sakura looked over at Ichigo, who started limping over to them, fan in hand. When she looked at Itachi her eyes grew wide and she jumped back. "Woah, Sakura! Move!" She waved her fan and swung it at Itachi, who simply moved out of the way of her wind jutsu attack. Sakura didn't tell Ichigo to stop; Sakura was too busy going over her feelings in her mind.
He's here…and he saved me! Or did he…? Maybe the man was just in his way. Or he's just killing people to get stronger. That's all he's after, right? Strength. Not anything else. Not me. Why do I even care?
Sakura snapped out of her thoughts and put her hands on Ichigo's arm, stopping her next attack. "Ichigo! Please, stop!" Sakura pleaded to Ichigo, who was still attempting to attack him, no matter what Sakura was saying.
Ichigo finally settled down, panting. "Why, Sakura? Do you know who this is? It's Uchiha, Itachi! The one who killed the whole Uchiha clan and led Sasuke to lead the village!" Ichigo retorted, hitting a soft spot in Sakura. "He…he kidnapped YOU!" Ichigo started shaking badly and she fell to the ground.
"Ichigo!" Sakura said, bending down with her. "Are you okay?" Sakura scanned her body with a medical jutsu and found her body almost completely drained of Chakra, and she had a few minor injuries spread out over her body.
"Sakura." The rich, deep voice of Itachi said from the other side of the clearing. Sakura looked at him, and he started to say something when someone crashed through into the clearing 'accidently' running into Sakura, who had stood up when Itachi had spoken.
"Kisame!" Sakura groaned and rubbed her arm.
"Oi." He said, looking down at Ichigo. He stopped and Sakura swore she saw a reddish tint to his skin, but he looked away to look at Itachi.
Ichigo looked from the pair of S-class criminals to Sakura, her eyes wide, but narrowing them as she coughed, blood leaking out of the corner of her mouth but she swiped it away. "Ichigo, are you going to be okay?" Sakura asked, and Ichigo nodded faintly.
"We need to go get help. For you, and for all the other members here." Sakura said, and helped her up, flinging Ichigo's arm across her shoulder.
"Woah, woah, woah..who said we were going to let you leave?" Kisame said, crossing his arms. "We've been watching you guys for a whole day now, and we've decided to take the Kyuubi."
Sakura narrowed her eyes and moved with Ichigo to stand in front of where Naruto was under the dead shinobi's body, protecting him. "No. We're leaving. And you're not going to follow us, or stop us. My team is injured, and I can't leave them like this." Sakura said, ignoring the annoyed look on Kisame's face and the deathglare she was retrieving from Itachi.
Itachi disappeared and then appeared in front of her in a poof of smoke. "Sakura. You're coming with us again. Do you need me to remind you of what happened last time you defied me?" He asked, his Sharingan shifting in his anger.
Sakura looked away. "No." she mumbled and he smirked. "Because I know more than then. I know how to avoid it." She said, trying to avoid eye contact as much as possible. Itachi's smirk widened.
"You think just because you know how I use the Mangekyou Sharingan that you know how to avoid it?" Itachi asked, grabbing her chin and forcing her eyes to look at him, but she closed them. "I'm disappointed in you, Sakura."
"Let her go, you bastard!" Ichigo said, and Itachi looked at her. Itachi looked her in the eyes and Ichigo collapsed, and Sakura tried to catch her but Itachi did instead, disappearing and reappearing beside Kisame.
"You either come with us with the kyuubi…or I'll kill your friend. Don't think I won't." Itachi said, giving Ichigo to Kisame. Sakura clenched her fist so tight she could feel them embedding in her skin.
"Fine." She said, using a replacement jutsu and transfiguration jutsu to make the shinobi on top of Naruto look like him while the real naruto looked like the Shinobi on top of him, masking her chakra as she did it to hide it. She heaved out Naruto and dragged him to where Itachi stood. Itachi picked him up and flung him over his shoulder, then nodded towards Kisame, who threw Ichigo to the ground.
"Thanks, Sakura-chan." Kisame said, smirking. Sakura looked at Itachi, who looked at her and she blacked out.
Damn Mangekyou Sharingan. She thought before she fell unconscious.
-Itachi's POV-
It was her. It was the Kunoichi that he thought he'd never see again, Sakura. She was leading a team of shinobi, on a mission. They had followed them for a whole day, Kisame believing they were both looking at the Kyuubi…but the whole time, his eyes had been on her.
She looked different…what was different? And why did he care or even remember what she looked like? For the past six months, he had not thought of her once. Well, that was a lie; he had thought of her a lot. And he hated his stupid feelings for it aswell. It seemed as if the harder he tried to rid his body of feelings, the more they haunted him.
And destiny wasn't helping much either. Many situations he'd had put him to where he had to remember his feelings. Such as running into Sasuke many times, seeing fathers and their sons, bringing Sakura into his life, and as if that wasn't enough they ripped her apart from him.
After all that had happened (Him blushing at the memory of a naked Sakura) he was oddly finding that he missed her. But he quickly cast away that thought. He didn't like Sakura. Now, if only he could make his mind believe him.
He was too caught up in his thought to notice that Sakura and her group were fighting. Kisame and Itachi watched the fight with mild amusement when he saw some guy touching Sakura. His stomach jolted as he licked her face and touched her light fuchia hair. A pang of a feeling he hadn't ever felt before ran through his body. It wasn't anger, was it? No, it was guilt.
He attacked the man, knocking him out.
Scenes from before ((XD))
Itachi caught Sakura in his arms as she fell after he knocked her out with his Mangekyou Sharingan. She was limp, but she was still solid from so much training and shinobi missions and such. She wasn't heavy, but she wasn't light either.
"Are we taking her with us?" Kisame asked. "We don't need her; we have the Kyuubi." Kisame said, looking oddly at Itachi, who scoffed.
"That isn't the kyuubi. That's a replacement." Itachi said, looking to where the real Naruto laid, but he wasn't there anymore. "The real Kyuubi escaped a long time ago, and was watching the fight from afar. He's just too drained of Chakra to do anything about it. If you can hear me, Kyuubi, we have your friend. If you want her back, you better be ready to hand over the bijuu." Itachi said, and walked off, Kisame trailing behind him with Ichigo in his arms.
