Love Worth My Life

Chapter 2

Naruto grinned as he looped his arm around his best friend's shoulder . "Ready , Sakura-chan ?" The woman inhaled deeply , closing her eyes as adrenaline pumped through her veins . "Yup . Let's go." Itachi nodded and got in the car while Naruto sat at the back with Sakura .

"So , who do you think captured the boys , Ita-chan ?" Sakura grinned when the raven-haired man twitched .

"Refrain from calling me such childish nicknames , Sakura-san ." he remarked dryly . "But answering your question , I'm not sure ." he admitted with a slightly sheepish look . "Hm… This is really a bad case if even the great Uchiha Prodigy can't solve it ." Naruto said boisterously .

Sakura smacked him ."Tune down your voice , baka !"

"Aww , Sakura-chan's so mean!"

"They are coming …"

"I know ." The woman smirked coyly . "Have you gotten Toushiro-kun yet ?"

Silence was her answer . Her dark brown eyes narrowed .

"Where is Toushiro-kun ?"

The servant squeaked in fear . "Ummm …. Actually… we… um…"

"Spit it out , I don't have all day !"

"… Toushiro's signal was wiped off from our radars ."

The woman's eyes widened , and fury was shown clearly on her features . "FIND HIM , OR YOU ARE DEAD !"

The servant squeaked again and scurried off .

The woman sighed heavily , plopping into her seat . Her fingers danced on her keyboard as she set her dark eyes on the radar . It didn't show any red dots , meaning that the servant wasn't lying . She leaned back in her chair and rubbed her chin in thought . "I wonder who took him ."

She snapped out of her thoughts and stood up , shaking her head ."No matter , he will be mine and not that bitch Sakura's." She walked down the hallway and turned a corner , heading to a room labelled "WEAPONRY" .

She opened the door and made a beeline towards a rack of silver , shiny scimitars and picked up two of them before taking out three guns and hiding them in her pockets .

She stared at the scimitars and then smiled .

"That bitch better be ready ."

"Sakura , wait up !" the sunny blond shouted after his friend . The pink-haired woman ignored his calls and continued running . Her heart was racing . She was extremely worried about her son . She had been tempted to call her husband but she didn't have time . Her son was missing and that was the only thing in her mind . Her heart was encouraging her to go on , to find her son and just hug him to death in the way he hated .

Finally , Naruto caught up to her , gasping for breath .

"Man , since when do you run so fast ?"

Sakura glared at him and then rubbed her temples . "Where's Uchiha ?"

A confused look appeared on his face ." Huh … I'm not sure . He's been quiet since we got here ." He looked around and cupped his hands around his mouth .

"ITAAAAACHIIIIII !"

Sakura smacked him upside the head .

"You're giving away our position , you baka !"

He rubbed the sore spot with a whimper .

A tall shadow loomed behind them .

"Yes Uzumaki ."

"EEK !" Naruto yelped and jumped into Sakura's arms .

The woman twitched and instantly dropped him .

"Ita-chan , what did you find ?" Sakura asked getting straight to the point .

"Nothing except for a few tracks . They're very well covered up . You should go and check it out ." Itachi said with a twitching eyebrow . He hated being called 'Ita-chan' . It reminded him of when he was younger and was always tracked down by rabid fangirls .

"Okay then . Keep an eye on Naruto-baka for a while ." Said blond pouted at her and crossed his arms.

In the dark room , a man jumped through the window and landed on the floor with a thump . His brown eyes glanced around disinterestedly before he carefully stepped inside as to not drop the person on his shoulder . He sighed and removed black beanie and face-mask to allow proper breathing and then he dropped his charge into a chair , securing the white-haired male to the chair with a metal chain .

Soft , thudding footsteps were heard and the door creaked open as a smaller and womanly figure walked in . Her large dark grey eyes that almost seemed brown twinkled in joy and happiness , approaching the brown-eyed man who had a soft smile on his face .

"Sometimes you are outrageous , darling ." he drawled in a bland voice . "You could've just asked them ."

The woman giggled , eyes crinkling shut and a smile bloomed on her lips . "Yes I know , but I rather prefer this way . It's much more fun and exciting ."

Slowly , she edged closer to the knocked-out white-haired male and poked his shoulder .

The man stirred and opened his eyes slightly before they shot wide open . His voice was muffled by the cloth covering his mouth but the woman could almost swear she heard the man say 'cheesecake fairies' or something .

"Ichigo-kun , please get them for me ." She smiled . The brown-eyed male , now identified as Ichigo , nodded obediently and went to get what was asked .

"Don't worry Hitsugaya-san , this won't hurt a bit ." She smiled and patted the cursing man's head like a sister would do to her brother before walking away , humming happily as if kidnapping a 28-year old man was a normal thing .

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING ?!"

Naruto screamed .

"Calm down Naruto ." Itachi sighed . Sakura was staring at the warehouse in suspicion and curiosity. How could the forensic team be mistaken ? There must have been something missing .

A thought popped into her head .

"Ita-chan ," Itachi narrowed his eyes at the nick-name . "Go check inside for any loose floorboards ."

The Uchiha said nothing and complied , dragging Naruto along with him to help investigate .

Sakura stared at their backs as she pondered , getting lost in thought .

_=.=_

Itachi returned with Naruto a few minutes later . "We found one . It's at the fourth level in the left corner ."

"Great ! Let's go ." She smiled slightly and pulled them to where it was . She opened the door and jumped in , Itachi and Naruto following suit .

The group of three landed softly on the ground and headed straight for a door at the end of the hallway . She yanked it open and rushed in , a hand on her gun ready for any attack .

They arrived in a large and very dark room .

Sakura squinted her eyes in the dark . She couldn't see anything and that was worrying her . She hated not knowing her surroundings . She heard shuffling and knew that her team was safe . Her heartbeat quickened and her breaths came in short but soft gasps .

"Oh . I have visitors… How lovely ."

Sakura stiffened and tightened her grip on her gun . She felt her teammates doing the same and turned her body to face where she thought the new arrival was at .

"Who are you ?"

The woman chuckled at the question . "No one important . But I do have some important people with me here ." The lights turned on and revealed a woman with her hair in a bun . Her brown eyes were narrowed into a glare and a mocking smirk was on her lips . She wore all black and held two scimitars in her hands . Judging from her stance , she seemed experienced with swords .

Somehow , the pinkette knew that there were more weapons stashed somewhere in the woman's attire . That woman seemed familiar .

"Why did you take Ukitake , Shikamaru , Renji and my darling baby Takeshi ?!"

And there were four tied up , gagged males behind her . They all looked relieved but Takeshi had reddened when Sakura called him 'darling baby' . It was so girly !

"Hm … Let's go back in the past , where it all started ." The woman said , her glare more malicious .

"You remember when you were in your junior year ?" She ground out .

"Yes ." Sakura answered , suspicious .

"Then , do you remember the one who had been betrothed to Toushiro-kun but you broke it !"

Emerald eyes widened .

"You…You're… " She trailed off.

"Yes . I'm Hinamori Momo ."

Hello ! nia annie here . I hope this was enough ! I was planning to make this a three-shot so expect the last chapter to be posted soon . =D

So , I think I might make a story about her life before becoming a policewoman , when she was still in high school . Maybe , maybe not . I'll see if time allows me to .

Hope this was enough for a bit ! I gave a small clue on who kidnapped Toushiro . Let's see if anyone can figure out who she is . :]

Bye bye !
