This is where the humongo fight is!

Review and tell me what'cha think^^

Oh, it's in Sakura's POV again.


Everyone had split apart, some were flash stepping, some were sprinting full speed ahead to our destination-which unlikely enough-was the forest clearing. There would be nowhere to hide, but at least I could see all my friends..And i'd be there to watch them all die.

I blinked the oncoming tears away and threw on a blank face that could rival Gaara's, well I learned from the master himself. The way he looked at me earlier, it was something else, I don't know. His eyes had always amazed me..

"Sakura, you need to concentrate, you remember the plan right?" Kakashi was looking intently on the area coming into view. I nodded timidly, snapping out of my thoughts and storing them for what hopefully would be a later.

"Wait, what was the plan again?" I inwardly groaned. Couldn't Naruto listen to one simple thing?! I leaned over to him talking in hushed whispers, explaining the entire thing over again.

I was to charge Itachi head on and distract him while Naruto grabbed Sasuke, Leaving Kakashi to fend him off if he saw through our plot too quickly. I grimaced, knowing I'd be facing one of the strongest members all by myself. Gaara would've had a fit; always so overprotective.

Everything was still. No one breathed, or spoke. The only thing I could make out was my heartbeat pounding away against my chest. We were on the far side of the clearing, too far away to help our friends if needed. 'Damn..'

Just as we had expected, Itachi had Sasuke against a tree, bound with chakara strings. It wasnt the fist time I had seen him in those hideous purple roped pants.. But where was Itachi? I scanned the field and connecting forest, almost in panic, but stopping when I made out a figure next to a tree on the far right. Kakashi nodded; that was my cue.

I flash stepped and weaved through the trees, making sure he couldn't hear or see me. Battle cries could already be heard from the other side of the field, but I drowned them out. Itachi looked towards the noises, and I attacked. I punched the ground with a chakra-loaded fist, making him look at me in surprise after jumping out of the way. His eyes narrowed, and so did mine.

We stood facing eachother for a moment, than clashing, his kunai and my sword, specially made by Gaara. We were only a black and pink blur. Every punch I threw-he blocked, every slice I made-he dodged. I was becoming frustrated, but I made sure he didn't see through my blank facade.

I couldn't put a scratch on him. At least I only had one or two. I created thirty clones, all surrounding him with chakra-filled punches and kicks. Only one hit him, but it was enough time for Naruto to go and get Sasuke.

I smirked as Naruto ran back for coverage with him in his arms. Itachi was just now getting up, wiping the blood from his mouth. I went to punch him again, but it was a clone. I gasped and spun around, coming inches away from him.

He held me by the throat, and I felt kunai-before I saw his hand moving in a blur-being dug into my stomach, legs, and shoulders, crunching the bones. I screamed in pain as I landed on the ground-only pushing them in further. Kakashi had knocked him down.

"Kakashi!" I was screaming his name as I watched Itachi use his sharigan to render him unconscious. It was just us two again, but I had used so much already..I was at my limit. I pulled each kunai out and stood up, only to stumble back again. I couldn't heal myself, my chakra was gone. I knew I was going to die.

A red blur flew past me and protected me against his final blow. I couldn't tell who it was, my head was pounding and everything was starting to fade. "Sakura! Sakura are you okay? It'll be okay, I promise." All I saw was a red blur, sand over my head, then black.

Everything surrounding me was silent when I woke up. Pain seared through me and I saw that I had gashes everywhere. I still didn't have enough power to heal myself yet. I stood up weakly, glancing around, there was a circle of sand surrounding me. Something wasn't right here.

I flash stepped more slowly than usual to the other side of the field, only to fall on my knees, making the pain so much worse. Bodies were spewed across the grass. But they weren't just bodies, they were faces of people I knew; people I loved.

I saw blue contrasting against green grass, I ran to it, not caring about the pain in my legs. I stopped, frozen, when I realized who it was, and clenched their hand in mine.

"Do you think Sasuke will ever like me?" I asked, wiping the tears from my eyes. A pale arm wrapped around me, rubbing my shoulder gently, she had left her date with Naruto early to stay with me.
"H-he'd be a fool not to, Sakura you're b-beautiful, smart, and strong," She whispered, as she hugged me and stayed by my side the rest of the night.
"Thanks, Hinata, I'll always love you like my true sister." I smiled and she nodded in agreement.

I sobbed into Hinata's hand. It was cold, lifeless, and a ghastly white. I never got to tell her I was sorry for abandoning her, I was sorry for not having more time with her, I loved her so much; my sister..

I couldn't find Naruto, Gaara, Kakashi, or Temari. All the others were right in front of me-unmoving and unbreathing- just lying there in blood. Agonizing sobs tore past my lips, I was alone, and if I wasn't so weak-I could've helped them. I had failed my teammates again, weakness, failure.

A twig snapped behind me, and I whipped around only to be face to face with the entire Akatsuki clan. My eyes turned cold and hard, I molded my face into a perfect disguise-away from all the pain. I stood shakily and unbalanced.

"What do you want from me you bastards," I hissed out, sizing all of them up. I wouldn't get out of here alive, but I didn't care. A few smirks appeared on some of their faces, making me want to slaughter all of them twice as much.

"You're coming with us whether you want to or not, yeah." And before I could protest, or even run, I felt a hard blow in the back of my skull by something that felt like an explosion, causing me to fall forward. All of the memories slipped out of my head, like they never happened.

"I'm sorry," I breathed out towards the bodies now being piled up and burned like some freelance bonfire. My mind screamed but my body continued to drift off into darkness, seeing jade eyes, spiky blonde hair, and a lazy grin in my head before descending further. Jade eyes filled my head, and then it was gone. Who was that? Why couldnt I remember? My head fet like it was splintering every time I tried to remember.

'I'm sorry..'


The Akatsuki has her! But why?

Sakura cant remember her friends! Oh no!

Review please^^-Nina
