It had been three days since Sakura Haruno, genin on Team Seven, under the command of Kakashi Hatake had gone missing, taken right out of her own home, beneath the noses of her parents and hadn't been seen again since then.
The Leaf Village was in an uproar, none more so than Naruto Uzumaki, who was all prepared to charge off and find his pink haired crush/teammate, while Sasuke was portraying a stoic air, he was just as worried about his teammate.
And as for Kakashi, he feared that they might be to late, but didn't say anything to his two remaining students, for Naruto was certainly to go berserk and try to leave the village on his own to find her.
Hiruzen sighed, how had things taken such a drastic turn "You want me to sniff around the girls room and see if I can't pick up a scent" Tsume, his best tracker nin was stood before his desk, and he peered at the Inuzuka Matriarch, puffing on his pipe.
"Please Tsume-san, if you can that would be great in leading an investigation on finding young Haruno-san" he nodded, lowering his pipe to the desk and glancing into her wild onyx eyes, if she couldn't find the pinkette, they were doomed.
Tsume smirked, "Leave it to me Lord Hokage, Kuromaru" she whistled sharply and her ninken was on his feet and they exited the office, rushing down the streets of the village to the girls house, then knocked on the door.
Just a few seconds after knocking it, the door was opened to reveal a man, with purple hair and light blue eyes, he looked tired and his aura screamed worry "Yes, how can I help you Ma'am" he cleared his throat, the words coming out strained and full of exhaustion.
Her back straightened "I am Tsume Inuzuka, the Alpha of the Inuzuka Clan, I've come on behalf of Lord Hokage, to sniff around you're daughters room to see if I can pick up a scent" Tsume stated, onyx eyes piercing straight through those light blue.
Kizashi stood dumbfounded "Please do come in" he looked more hopeful that there was a chance his daughter could be saved, as soon as she'd spoken the words pick up a scent, "This way Tsume-sama" Kizashi led Tsume up the stairs to Sakura's room.
Empty, the covers in the state they'd been in since they'd discovered their precious cherry blossom missing from her room, window wide open and no noise tags plastered all over the door and window to prevent Sakura from making to loud of a racket.
Not only that, but there was a stray kunai embedded in the door, probably the pinkette trying to fend off her kidnappers, Tsume wandered near the window first, Kizashi stood in the doorway, ringing his hands furiously.
His wife, Mebuki Haruno fitted against his side, green eyes, so reminiscent of her daughter, held that same tired light her husbands did, but there was a hope growing within her heart and it shined through her expressive eyes.
Tsume sniffed all around the window, picking up on the subtle scents, most notable of all of them was the scent of cherry blossoms, but, her eyes narrowed, there were two underlying scents, one of which she recognized, if just barely.
Concluding her search by the window, she moved towards the bed, this time, only picking up on two scents, the cherry blossom scent, belonging to Sakura, she presumed, and that same underlying one, much thicker.
As if this person had leaned over the pinkette in her sleep, Tsume inhaled deeply, making sure that she was certain, then headed towards the married couple, the second unknown person had spent a long time leaning against the doorway.
"Did you find anything that would help you find our daughter Ma'am" Mebuki asked as she and her husband took a few steps back as the wild woman exited Sakura's room and the door was shut, Tsume faced the two Haruno's, not sure what to tell them.
Finally, her decision was made, she'd want someone to tell her if her pups were missing or if there was a way to finding them "I believe I did, however there is a second more stronger person here that I do not know" Tsume nodded.
Both Haruno's let out a sigh of relief "Is there a chance that she might still be alive then, Tsume-sama" Kizashi led the way to the front door, now that her business there was finished, she had to return to the Hokage and tell him her findings.
'Well that's a tricky question' Tsume grimaced inwardly "It's possible" the only words she could answer with, without giving the two to much hope, with who she thought it was, the girl was possibly already dead, or going insane.
Mebuki nodded in understanding "Thank you Ma'am" she bowed her head in respect and the door was shut behind the Inuzuka Matriarch as she hurried back down the streets to the Hokage Tower to speak with Hiruzen once more.
"You really think the girl is still alive Tsume, especially if that man is involved" Kuromaru barked in that deep tone of his, drawing her from her thoughts, Tsume glanced to the side at her ninken, lips pressed together.
A moment later she answered "It's possible" again the only thing she could say, because this wasn't the normal M.O for the Uchiha, Kuromaru fell silent and together they reached the Tower, flying up the steps.
Hiruzen looked up as Tsume Inuzuka and her ninken barged into his office for the second time in a matter of hours "Did you find anything" he lowered his brush, giving the Inuzuka woman all of his attention.
She held up a hand "First, get Hatake and his other brats in here, they need to understand how dire this situation is" Tsume stated, a serious look in her obsidian orbs, proving that whatever was going on was about to reach an all new high.
Writing a message for Kakashi, to come to the Tower and bring Naruto and Sasuke, Hiruzen sent it off with a chunin, before sitting back in his high back chair, staring out over his village, he was getting to old for this, and perhaps it would be a good idea to find a replacement soon.
Unlike how it usually was, fifteen minutes after he'd sent that message off, Kakashi was the first to arrive, in a puff of smoke, lone onyx eye searching his Hokage's for an answer, the rest of his body relaxed and normal, not portraying any other emotion than that.
Next Naruto and Sasuke charged into his office, and the door shut behind them, they were out of breath, having run all the way across the village to the Tower "What is it old man, have you found Sakura-chan yet" the blonde flung his head finally having caught his breath.
The Uchiha beside him glared, but also faced the wizened old man, an expectant look in his eyes, but other than that, he gave no outward appearance that he was as worried as his eyes said he was, "We might have found something" Hiruzen cleared his throat gesturing to Tsume.
She was just now realizing that it might not be the best idea to have the two brats there "I decided to search the girls room, to see if I could pick up on any scents" Tsume started, keeping her onyx orbs pinned to Sasuke, for she knew the minute she said that man's name the boy was going to be downright murderous.
"And did you find any such unknown, or foreign scents, Tsume-sama" Kakashi asked in a low voice, keeping it light, despite the worry growing and becoming visible in his lone onyx eye, how was he ever going to face Obito or Rin if he let one of his teammates die again.
Tsume took a deep breath "I did, two scents, they entered through her window, one blocked the doorway and the other, was very close to the brat, I determined that one of these scents were unknown to me" she continued, tensing in preparation of what she was about to say.
"The other scent is one I am very familiar with, my search concluded that Sakura Haruno was taken by two men, one an unknown and the second the S Class Criminal Uchiha Itachi" Tsume stated in a clear voice.
Fury leaked into the air "What" Sasuke seethed, rage pouring off of him in waves, what the hell would his brother want with that annoying, weak girl "Why is my brother after Sakura" he asked glaring at the Inuzuka Matriarch.
A tingle of fear ran down his spine upon meeting her gaze head on, Tsume keep her teeth on show "Don't presume you know things Uchiha" she said crossing her arms, there were a few things she couldn't say in front of the children.
Kakashi noticed there was something else going on "I think that's enough, go on Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun" he nudged the two boys out "Now, what is it you're not saying Tsume-sama" he shifted his lone onyx eye in her direction.
She let out a sigh "The second thing I noted, was that most of Uchiha's scent was concentrated around her bed, his arousal was clear, he wanted Haruno brat, so he took her" Tsume finished and it was like all the life was sucked out of the air.
A murderous aura filled the office, before it was hidden behind that signature eye crinkle "Can you track him" he questioned, trying to hold back his anger, how dare that man lust after his student, little innocent Sakura didn't deserve that.
"It's possible, but they really hid their scent good, the most I can do is track the girls scent, since it was mostly all I could smell" Tsume shifted "You really think we can find her Hatake" she inquired, quirking an ebony brow at the silver haired nin.
His lips pressed together behind his cloth mask "We have to, I won't allow another of my comrades to die, especially Sakura, she's my student and I'll find her and save her from that man's clutches" Kakashi said in a voice that told everyone he would go with or without help.
The Hokage sighed deeply "You have two week Kakashi to find Sakura Haruno and bring her back alive, you're mission partner is Tsume Inuzuka, work together" he ordered writing out a mission scroll for the duo before his desk.
"Right Lord Hokage" Tsume nodded, reaching down to scratch Kuromaru on the head, they just hoped they could find the girl, or things were going to be catastrophic, at the very least she would still be alive, if not extremely catatonic.
Kakashi grasped the scroll in his hand, he would find her, he had to, "Understood Lord Hokage, we will find her and bring her back" he nodded, then with Tsume in tow, they headed towards the gates of the village, him following the Inuzuka as she led them forward on the scent trail.
Miles away, Sakura was laying on that rotting mattress, bruised, beaten and bloody, Itachi had just finished another round with her, saying that their little moments would continue until the next week, to ensure that she was pregnant with his child.
She still fought, but even she was beginning to lose hope that someone would find her and rescue her, the pinkette rolled over onto her side, the one that hurt the least and shivered, all they gave her was a thin blanket and even that did nothing to keep the chill away.
'Kakashi-sensei' Sakura cried inwardly, it was the only place she could do so, without making it seem like they'd, he'd broken her, and Itachi had, after the second day that was, coming in there and nudging her knee's apart.
Not even preparing her and plunging his aching cock straight into her sore cunt, in her defense though, only a whimper had slipped through her lips, before she'd managed to stifle any further sounds of pain.
Itachi had smirked "Come now Sakura, let's hear you sing" he shoved his hips forward forcefully, jabbing painfully against the entrance of her womb, with his fleshy tip, wiry fingers coming up to pinch and pull harshly at her little nipples, on hardly developed breasts.
He claimed that he was stimulating their growth and she would have bountiful attributes that were sure to turn the heads of men when she got older that was, but Sakura was certain he was just doing it, to see if he could draw a reaction out of her.
Then Itachi would grunt, grab hold of her hips and jerk her body into his pelvic, leaving bruises on her nubile flesh, thrusting cruelly up into her, before with a hiss and a groan, his cock would twitch and a blast of fluid would flood her insides.
When he was finished, he would drop a kiss to her forehead, mocking her in a way, since she'd always dreamed of Sasuke kissing her larger than life forehead, and leave saying that Kisame would bring her food in an hour or so.
Her hands clenched beneath the blanket, and tears gathered in her viridian eyes, before she wiped them away 'No, I won't let them see me cry' Sakura berated herself inwardly, if she survived, her will would be unbreakable.
"Knock, Knock" a sharp knock on the barrier covered doorway, drew her gaze and Sakura glared at the tall blue man "That's not nice Sakura" Kisame chuckled, "I could just leave this outside the barrier and let you suffer" he mused aloud.
At the mention of food, her stomach rumbled "I'm very sorry Kisame-sama" Sakura said in a voice devoid of emotion, it was the only thing that would get the man to let her have her food, along with what was coming surely.
He hadn't touched her in any other way, but Kisame crossed the threshold of the doorway, placed her food down on the table, grasped her chin roughly in his over sized hand and forcefully took a kiss, shoving his tongue down her throat, before pulling back.
"Apology accepted Sakura" Kisame rumbled "Now eat up, you've still got a week of this to go" he placed the tray down before the pinkette, then left the room, he would collect the empty tray later when she was long asleep.
They'd put a sedative in her food after all, really it was Itachi's idea, he was just the one who put it in the meals they served the girl, Kisame shook his head, the Uchiha really had gotten quite creative with this one.
But he was sure that soon there would be people after them, or after Sakura "You give her the food already" Itachi looked up from his spot against the wall, glancing out the door every so often to see if he could tell if people were on the hunt yet.
They had both realized that despite blocking their scents to the best of their abilities, Sakura's hadn't, it was a wonder nobody had found them yet "Yeah, she's still a little brat though, glaring at me constantly" Kisame grumbled.
"We'll break her, just wait Kisame, then when she's with child, we'll send her back" the Uchiha shrugged, of course only in a roundabout way, first he'd leave the girl on Mist's doorstep and let them deal with the pinkette.
It was sure to bring a great amount of amusement, and cause problems for both villages, have them go at each others necks for awhile, while he and Kisame escaped and returned to the Rain Village, or an Akatsuki base.
Only after he'd erased Sakura's memories, so there was no chance of recovering them, Itachi chuckled inwardly, and leaned his head against the wall of that dilapidated house, it was small, and perfect to hide in, for a few days.
Perhaps they should think about moving, it would give them some more time with the girl "Say Itachi, what happens if she really does end up giving birth, wouldn't Orochimaru be on that like a fly on a pile of crap" Kisame's voice sounded behind him.
He tilted his head to the side "I'm counting on the child bearing her genes, more so than mine, the only way Orochimaru would ever figure out it's mine if that child awakens the sharingan at a young age" Itachi stated.
Kisame eyed his partner before shrugging and flopped down at Itachi's side, he'd go check on the brat in a bit, she should be sleeping then and not be able to glare at him, he wouldn't admit it, but those expressive green eyes were kind of getting to him.
Sure he liked to go out and have a little fun, but his targets were always older women, not little kids, who were barely out of their preteen stage "Right" Kisame leaned his head back and closed his eyes to rest for a little while.
