If any details are incorrect I apologize; constructive criticism is more than welcome so please feel free to express your thoughts. During the week I managed to work out some things. The first being that the chapters will come every Sunday. And I will be honest with you: I have a general idea of where this story is going to go but I have no idea how long it will play out.

Chapter 2

A low groan echoed through the quiet grey room; sheets shifted as a figure moved around and then slowly sat up. Sakura lifted her hand to her eyes and rubbed gently; she could feel a headache forming but she was still confused. Opening her eyes slowly, she blinked once and then twice as she let her eyes adjust to the dim lighting in the room; as she looked around all she saw was a nightstand, a desk and a chair and the bed she was on. Across the room, however, there was a smaller room attached which made her assume it was a bathroom. Standing up slowly, Sakura gently probed her head for any longer lasting injuries before she decided she was fine to move.

As she moved her hands she caught a glint of something in the low light; looking down she spied two thin identical bracelets on her wrists. 'Chakra controlling bracelets' she thought with a snort. So apparently they weren't ALL stupid. Sighing, she made her way to the restroom and closed the door behind her; she still felt filthy so she stripped down as she turned the water on. Stepping under the warm spray she thought to herself that she should be grateful they at least gave her a room with a bathroom. Water sluiced down her shoulders and between her breasts as her hair stuck against her shoulders and neck; after the exams when she had cut it she had kept it short for a while but finally decided to try and grow it out a little bit as she got older.

Tilting her head back, Sakura closed her eyes and let the warm water work its magic over her body; after she had washed her body and her hair, she stepped out and grabbed a towel. Wrapping it around her body, Sakura made her way from the bathroom; as she stood in the doorway she cursed her own stupidity for not having looked for her stuff before she got in the shower. Quickly looking around, she sighed in relief when she spotted her bag lying against the nightstand; walking over, Sakura dropped the towel and bent down to dig through the bag. And that was how she found herself with her fist planted in a face a few minutes later. The door had slammed open and on pure instinct alone she had whirled around and thrust it into the face of the intruder; all the while being butt naked and freezing with the cool air on her skin.

She cursed under her breath as she hastily pulled on the extra clothes she had brought along; short sleeved white shirt with a pair of sweatpants. Considering the mission she was supposed to have gone on she wasn't really expecting this turn of events; so of course she did pack for her "abduction".

"What the FUCK BITCH?" she heard a groan and what sounded suspiciously like a hand touching somewhere inappropriate before she turned and glared hard at the silver haired man who was hastily readjusting the tent in his pants. She groaned and flopped on the bed; running her hands through her still damp pink locks. "Of all people why did they send YOU?" she snapped venomously which only caused him to grin and leer at her as he stood up to his full height. "Keep talking like that bitch. You have no idea what it does to me" he sneered at her which in turn caused her to let out a very unladylike snort. "Oh I'm sure I have a fairly good idea of what it does to you you sick fuck" she muttered as she dug around in her bag again for a brush to untangle her hair. As she worked it through her hair she sighed quietly before turning to look at Hidan; he was leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed and that same sick leer on his face. "So? I'm assuming you aren't here for a social call" she said icily as she stuffed her brush back in her bag and stood up.

"Damn you aren't as stupid as your hair makes you look" he laughed hard as her face turned several shades of red. Her hand curled into a fist and she took a menacing step forward; her chakra might have been out of her reach but that didn't mean she couldn't beat the shit out of him until he begged her to just end it. "Hidan. That's enough" a cool voice called from behind them. Sakura didn't even need to turn to see who it was; that voice would forever been ingrained in her mind. "Itachi-san. Glad someone with a small amount of sanity is here. Now wherever we are going to go can we just go please?" she said bluntly before walking around Hidan. However, the man was not to be ignored; as she walked towards Itachi, he reached out and let his large but surprisingly soft hand take her ass in a firm grip. She stopped and the only sign of what was about to happen next was the twitch of her shoulders just before she turned; Itachi made no move to stop her and had Sakura been facing him she would have maybe caught the small glimpse of amusement flashing in his eyes before it was gone again.

Turning violently, Sakura threw her fist first into his gut; causing his back to arch forward and he groaned as he bent forward. Then her knee met his face violently and he went flying through not one but two cement walls. The crash echoed through the buildings and caused someone somewhere slightly nearby to groan and curse loudly. "DAMMIT HIDAN" could be heard through the hallways. And the situation must have been to much for her poor brain because as soon as Sakura heard that she burst out laughing; she clutched her stomach and a few minutes later she calmed down enough to follow Itachi through the winding hallways. "I apologize for that Itachi-san" Sakura said quietly. Why she was apologizing when they had kidnapped her was beyond her; maybe she just didn't want to die. "Hidan deserved it. He's a fool" was all the response she got. They moved through the rest of the hallways in silence; a few minutes later found Itachi pushing a door open and Sakura following behind.

Sakura couldn't help but be more than slightly amazed as she looked around at what was obviously the kitchen; there was an island with black and white tiles. A few bar stools sat behind it; all of which were occupied but Sakura didn't pay them any attention as her eyes moved. There was a stainless steel refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom being a pull out; she could see why they would need a huge one like it. The room itself was plain but the appliances all gave it the friendly appeal that had Sakura smiling slightly.

"Oi oi. Not gonna stand there all day yeah? Come sit" a soft slightly feminine yet still clearly masculine voice spoke from over near the bar stool. Sakura tilted her head as her eyes passed over Kisame who currently stood at the stove; to say she was surprised was an understatement. "Mmmm" was her only response as she slid into an empty stool far far away from Deidara and Kakuzu; Deidara simply giving her a knowing grin and Kakuzu simply giving her an unimpressed yet impassive glance. "So I'm guesing Hidan the dumbass got a little friendly with ya did he Pinky?" came a rough amused voice by the stove which caused Sakura to look away from the blonde explosionist.

Sighing in aggravation, Sakura sat up taller. "Lets just cut the crap okay? Why the hell did you bring me here?" she asked bluntly; narrowing her eyes as she glanced at Itachi who had been silent up to this point. He seemed to be the one in control of things now; but she thought he had died in his battle with Sasuke… As she sat there pondering and watching him she didn't notice the dead silence that had descended over the room; she snapped out of her thoughts when Itachi began to speak. "It was a matter of convenience. You saw us. We simply couldn't allow that knowledge to get back to Konoha. But. Since you are here you might as well make yourself useful" he stated as he looked right at her. That was when she noticed his eyes; when she had seen him at the bored of Suna and Kona he had had his usual Sharingan activated. But now his eyes were dark; grey and dark and brooding and deep. Sakura narrowed her eyes; from what she understood about the Mangekyou Sharingan the user would go blind after prolonged use. But considering she had thought he was dead what did she really know about him? Sakura shook herself of her thoughts and then frowned. "Wait so if you knew I was there why did you let me see you?" she asked; curious and kind of pissed off at herself for her delayed reaction at the time.

"We could have just killed you. You would fetch quite the amount according to the Bingo Book" Kakuzu so kindly pointed out without looking up from counting his money. At that moment Hidan chose to come barging through the door; he looked around and then grinned when he spotted her. Walking quickly, he slid into the stool on the outside effectively blocking her in as Deidara chose that moment to scoot over. She groaned and banged her head on the counter; earning her laughs from several of the members around her.

"Kakuzu is correct. We could have chosen to kill you. But we didn't. That would have been quite a waste. From what I am too understand you are quite skilled in not only the medical field but you have all the traits of Tsunade-sama herself correct?" Itachi spoke once again. Sakura lifted her head slowly with a frown on her face; her eyes caught his and once again she found herself drowning in their darkness. It was only when Hidan slid his arm around her shoulders that she snapped out of it again. "Oi touch me again and I'll cut of your dick and feed it to you" she snapped as she threw his arm off her shoulder so violently it sent him sprawling on the floor.

"My fucking Jashin I think I'm in love" she heard the crazy bastard mutter from the floor. Kisame chuckled as he finished up at the stove; the next thing she knew there was a plate of some wonderful smelling concoction sitting in front of her. Blinking, she looked down and then, to everyones surprise, she squealed excitedly; he had made her blueberry pancakes with scrambled eggs and sausage and two pieces of buttered white toast. Not even thinking twice about it, Sakura grabbed her fork and began shoveling food in her mouth faster than she could chew; meanwhile, the others simply gawked at the girl who so trustingly ate what was placed in front of her.

"Eerm…. You didn't think it was poisoned yeah?" came a hesitant voice from nearby her. She paused mid-chew; the result was her cheeks puffing out making her look like a chipmunk and then a round of guffawing met her ears. Blushing furiously, Sakura chewed as quickly as possible without choking before she spoke. "Why would you have wasted the time to kidnap me if you were just going to poison me?" she asked as she turned to give him a look as if to say he was stupid. Deidara blushed hard and stuttered as he looked away and grumbled under his breath; Sakura couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle as she watched him. "This is very well done Kisame-san.." she said hesitantly; she wasn't sure what to make of the whole situation.

None of them seemed to know what to make of the situation actually; they were just as confused by her behavior as she was with theirs. As she finished eating she mulled over the chances of her making an escape; even if she did get away there was no way she could outrun all of them. Her two biggest threats probably were Kisame and Deidara; Kisame had that chakra sapping sword and Deidara could blow her up in a second flat from the air if he wanted too. The thought was sobering and she stood quickly to make her way to the sink; she didn't notice the looks being tossed around as she washed her plate and utensils.

"Sakura…. As light hearted as things are right now we do need you to understand that if you try to escape…. We WILL kill you" Kisame's voice floated over to her as she finished up and set her dishes in the drying rack to the side. Then she turned and folded her arms across her chest; she let her eyes travel from one man to another quickly. Deidara was giving her an odd look; one she didn't care to read too much into right now if at all. Kakuzu had only briefly looked up at her before he went back to counting his money. Hidan was being… Well Hidan; creepy and leering at her in a way that didn't necessarily make her uncomfortable. But again: she didn't want to go into THAT feeling at all either. Kisame was simply watching her; gauging her reaction she guessed. And so was Itachi.

Sighing, she shrugged her shoulders and cocked a hip against the counter by the sink as she tilted her head back; she had no doubt that they'd kill her. She would just have to bide her time until an opportunity arose that she might be able to get away. But first she would have to get rid of these stupid chakra bracelets; she glanced down at them and then looked at Itachi. "You should know I wont try to run. I'm not stupid and I'm no fool. I couldn't get away from you even if I tried. So are these really necessary?" she asked quietly as she watched him closely. Itachis eyes flickered to the bracelets for a moment before he met her eyes again. The two stood in the silent room just sizing each other up; it was a heartbeat longer until Itachi spoke again.

"No I suppose they aren't. You have been very calm about the situation Sakura. From what I have been told you have a rather… Explosive temper" he said; and if she wasn't mistaken there was a slight lift of his lips and she couldn't help gawking at him before it disappeared.

Shaking herself once again, she found herself doing that a lot lately, Sakura just smiled slightly at him. "Yeah well what good is that anger going to do me right now?" she said calmly. Then she unfolded her arms and held her wrists out to him; she waited with bated breath as he simply watched her. Then, before she could so much as blink, he was leaning over her with her wrists in his large but gentle hands. His lips brushed her ears as he bent over her slightly; Itachi wasn't the tallest but he sure was taller than her.

"Do not make me regret this Sakura" he said quietly; his breath fanned her ear and she felt a shiver run down her spine as his lips caressed her ear. Then it was done; she felt her chakra flood through her and all she could do was gawk as her arms fell to her side and she watched as Itachi walked out of the room. She didn't notice the amused glances she was getting from the others as she simply stood there wondering what the hell she had managed to get herself into.
