I don't own Naruto.

Hope you enjoy the chapter. xD

-----------------------

Sakura looked at herself in the mirror, she was furious! That stupid bastard had left her a while ago, saying he would be back in a few minutes because he had to tell the other Akatsuki members about her staying. And worst of all was she couldn't forget that red haired angel!

Something was drawn to her about him. She was fascinated by his... Innocence? She didn't know! She was confused right now, not knowing what the hell was going on - and now not Suro stood there, but Kisame who'd do anything to see her blood!

Furiously growling she leaned her head against the cold mirror, sighing slightly. She heard a slight sound coming from the room that was attached to the bedroom. Probably because he gets everything he wants! she thought bitterly.

As the door closed behind the person she quickly spun around ready to shout at Itachi. But when she walked in the bedroom she was pinned to the ground in fear and her eyes widened, her heart beat could have been hear in her eyes. Kisame stood there with a wicked grin while holding his sword in a tightened grip and Sakura wished Itachi was here to 'save' her from this freak.

Sakura spun around again and ran in the bathroom, closing the door behind her and locking it she quickly scooted to the corner of the little bathroom. Sakura screamed when the door was splintered by Kisame's broadened sword. She was literally shaking and begged in silent that Itachi was here.

But she was lucky since the Akatsuki members could hear her scream downstairs and Kisame knew it. He cursed under his breath and glared at the girl who was glaring right back but knew it only angered him more. What had she done to him!

Kisame walked closer, trying to grab for her ankles or arms which she did her best to stay out of his reach.

"Kisame."

Time seemed to stop and Kisame's face changed from amused to disgust and, fear? She saw a shadow under Kisame's legs, and knew it was from the one she feared the most and the one who had 'saved' her right now. The shark man stood up and continued to glare at Sakura, he seemed like he was scared to turn around and face Itachi.

"Leave." the cold voice said, betraying no emotions. Kisame disappeared in the following second, leaving a puff of smoke behind. Sakura gasped for fresh air and tried to control herself when she saw the smoke disappear and Itachi in place.

He looked as calm as ever, he just stared down at her with his red orbs observing her in a way she did not know. Scanning her body he tore his gaze away from her and gave a curt nod before turning around. She nearly wanted to scream so he would stay here so Kisame wouldn't come back, but she discovered soon enough that he only closed the door before

Scolding she stood back up and glared at him as he glared right back at here. "I'm going to take a shower." she huffed and saw him simply nod at her before sitting down on the bed but Sakura wouldn't move as she continued to glare at him.

He merely raised an eyebrow at her before she huffed and quietly moved more in the bathroom so they couldn't see eachother, although she was damn sure he could still see her even through the wall! "Could you stop staring!" she hissed, knowing he heard her. Hearing no signs, and still feeling that heavy gaze she bit her pride back and whispered, "Please?" he lied down, looking at the ceiling instead and Sakura felt the tension disappear.

Quietly she wriggled out of her clothes, turning on the tabs of the shower. Now that there was no door anymore he could just walk in at any moment, but he wouldn't do that, right? She hoped.

------

"Sharkie!" Deidara snickered as Kisame walked in who shot him a glare. "What happened." Sasori asked calmly at the man who came to sit on the opposite side of him. He shot the puppeteer a glare and continued to say nothing as he grabbed the shake bottle. Suro entered the kitchen with a small smile.

"He interfered. He protected her."

------

Sakura closed her eyes as the water continued to beat upon her body, she sighed and wished she was home right now and instead of a shower, could have taken a enjoyable bath. Which she would sink in and fall asleep. Just the thought of it made her almost get out, dress herself in clothes, glare at that evil bastard sitting on the bed, and walk out of this damned house, towards her own home!

She nearly laughed at the thought. That evil bastard wasn't just someone. Uchiha Itachi. Clan killer and known as one of the most feared around. She idly wondered how the hell she was still keeping cool with him around her for already a couple of days! And downstairs weren't just sitting normal missing-nins she normal loved to beat. Downstairs were sitting Akatsuki members! Feared by their own country for good reasons!

She sighed a little and turned around in the shower, feeling the water beat on her back now. She would have to get used to the idea of 'hanging-out-with-psycho's'

Turning the shower tabs around until the shower stopped she stepped out and grabbed the big dark red towel and wrapped it around herself. The colour reminded her of someone in the room next to her and she did not like that thought.

Drying herself with the towel she soon dropped it on the ground and fiercely grabbed her clothes, pulling them back in place. When she ran the brush through her hair she couldn't help but smile a little, at least her hair had enough attention.

Putting back the brush she saw a few black hair on the brush and realized it was the same brush as Itachi used. Now a single pink hairstress was in that brush too. Losing the thought she walked back into the sleeping room. Seeing Itachi staring at the ceiling before returning his gaze towards her.

"So... Where do I sleep?"

-----

"You mean...He...She...They...Yeah!" Deidara asked, wanting to know the details as he tried to ignore Kisame's anger.

Suro briefly nodded at Deidara as he crossed his arms over his chest. Deidara had this smirk on his face, he surely would use it for no good, and knew Itachi wouldn't tolerate it. Deidara looked back at Kisame with a blue eye that brightened every passing minute "So, Sharkie, what did he do? Yeah?"

----

"You got to be kidding! No way! No, no, and no!" she stomped the ground childish and crossed her arms under her breasts which wasn't ignored by Itachi. "Or the ground if you want." he simply said. Sakura felt a large hump in her throat of the thought of sleeping on the floor. Anything but that.

Even sleeping in the same bed with Itachi?

"No!" she turned around, uncrossing her arms and walking in a fast pace towards the door. Her hand had already reached the door knob, when she was about to flung it open she was roughly turned around and stared with big eyes at the man in front of her.

----

Deidara pouted as Kisame told him Itachi had only said 'leave' and did nothing else to the kunoichi. "So, you're sure? Yeah? He only said 'leave'? Nothing more as in, 'are you okay, Sakura?' Yeah?" Suro snorted and gained Deidara's glare. "Do you honestly think that man would care what happened with her? After he's finished with his mission I'm sure he'll let Kisame eat the poor girl alive."

"Something on your mind, Suro?" Sasori asked quietly as he looked at the man. Suro shook his head. Though he was nice to the kunoichi, it was all shine like he was with all the other people that lived in the tiny town he was in. He was just acting like a nice and friendly medic. But, in truth was, he loved to kill, see blood. But not in the same way as Kisame.

The difference between Suro and Kisame - besides looks - Suro did had a heart and didn't kill innocent children. Sakura was still a child for him. How old was she? Sixteen? Seventeen? Maybe eighteen? He didn't know. He didn't care. She was a child compared to him, and Childs were off limit if he wanted to kill someone.

Sasori continued to stare at Suro, noticing him lost in thoughts.

"I wonder what Itachi is doing there for so long, yeah.." Deidara grinned at Sasori and he resisted to urge to sigh. "Why don't you go look rocky?" Deidara glared at Kisame. "At least he can get someone, yeah!" Deidara shot back before being hit with the empty sake bottle.

--------

Sasuke walked in a quietly town he hadn't seen before, and he quietly wondered or he would see it again, yet it didn't matter. He would ask around for some information about Akatsuki, someone with red eyes, and if they had a gril with pink hair.

Yes. He did know about it. Just not so long ago, heard the news from Konoha that Haruno Sakura was missing; captured by his older brother. The girl just would be in his way if he would look down at a dying Itachi. He did wonder or she would be the same annoying girl he knew from so long ago..

Shaking his head lightly he ignored that thought and walked into a bar. A place information was always a gold mine. He also had learned from Akatsuki that this was the best place to spot information and drunk jounin, chuunin, and what not who had information that could save his life.

--------

Naruto stared at the white ceiling, he was bound to the bed for he had tried several times to get out of bed. Kakashi had come and visit him a couple times at a day, telling him about what Tsunade would do to get Sakura back.

Bah, he didn't care. All he wanted was that Sakura would be safe. It was his damned fault that she was with Itachi! His! He groaned slightly in frustration as he tried to move around in the hospital bed.

--------

Sakura stared at him in fear, she forgot how to breath and the only thing that went through her mind was 'Stay calm! Stay calm!' But how could she when a terrible good looking man was standing so close to her! when a dangerous criminal stood so close to her!

"I'm giving you half of the bed, you also can choose the ground or with Kisame if you want, it's up to you kunoichi." Sakura glared daggers at him, not speaking for if she would the kunai on her neck would demand blood and she wasn't going to play his sick game!

Though, she didn't want to sleep with Kisame in the same room and could be glad that Itachi offered half of the bed, for she knew he could force her to sleep on the ground. She oddly wondered why she couldn't sleep with Suro. He seemed the only one who was 'normal'.

Itachi slipped the kunai away from her back where it belonged with his other kunai's and stepped away from her, back to the bed. Sakura followed.

Not knowing or she did the right, watching Itachi sit down she did the same. He nodded behind him and Sakura got the point, crawling atop the bed towards the place in between the wall and him.

Sakura shivered as she slipped her heated body under the cold covers and how much she hated to say it right now at this very moment! She was happy he would sleep next to her, so they could share their heat. Sakura frowned as he lied atop the sheets in place below.

Not questioning it, she turned around, her back facing him while her face the wall. Sighing a little, she closed her eyes and fell sleep claiming her.

-------

Moaning Sakura shifted around, feeling like she was drugged, but yet she wasn't. Forcing herself to open one she looked in Itachi's face. The first thing Sakura noticed that he had slipped under the covers. And second... He was very very, handsome. Blinking she opened her other eye too, now realizing how close he was!

Sakura's eyes widened and she was about to scream, her mouth open and the scream came up her throat, his eyes opened in just one millisecond and rolled on top of her, clamping a hand above her mouth. Holding back her scream. Sakura started to squirm around, trying to get him off of her!

Worst part, they were both under the covers and he was on top of her. The moon shone upon his face and Sakura looked in fear at him as he raised an eyebrow - why was she so scared? Sakura tried to push him off of her but his other hand grabbed her both wrists, pushing them above her head.

Sakura feared the worst a male could do to a female and her instincts told her to kick him where it really hurts, though, the half of his body lied next to him including his lower part. Sakura continued to squirm, raising a knee she kicked him in his side, and wriggled to the side as his grip had loosened, before he could restore she had already jumped out the bed, not waiting any second she opened the door and rushed through the large hall down the stairs.

The door! The door! Sakura screamed in her mind. Finding it in just a couple of seconds she swung the door open, running hastily outside, blindly like an animal she run and run. Almost reaching the edge of the forest where she hoped she would be safe.

Sakura stumbled and fell on her knees, gasping for some air she forced herself up again, but it was too late, a cloak with red clouds on it had come in her vision. Damn! she didn't want to look up for it was Itachi! She was sure of it! Now she would be given freely to Kisame to do as he please and she did not like the thought of being a punch ball.

But Itachi couldn't have taken his cloak so fast and stand before her right now, stubbornly looking up at him. "A late night walk, kunoichi?" Sakura raised her eyebrow, this was definitely not the voice from Itachi! and not from Kisame! Kisame's voice was.. A shiver ran up and down her spine and she forced herself to look up.

The Red Angel...

Sakura stared in awe at him, finally watching him more closely. He indeed did look like an angel. But he wasn't as holy as Angels... This angel was more like a demon with the looks from an angel. Pursing her lips she stumbled backwards panting, "Don't come near" He raised a perfect thin eyebrow, and Sakura was mesmerized by it, not knowing someone had walked behind her as she continued to drink in the picture in front of her, the moon shined behind him.

She was about to speak when she felt fingers press on vital points that made her close her eyes and lose balance, she welcome the darkness as she felt unconscious in the arms of a true devil.

Itachi hauled her up in his arms, scanning or she had wounds or anything. Lifting his gaze he gazed at Sasori who calmly stared back at him. Itachi gave a curt nod and turned around, back towards the house with a unconscious Sakura in his arms.

He slightly wondered why Sasori was still out so late yet he wouldn't question it. Looking down he wondered what the hell the girl was thinking when she had just woken up that made her so scared.

For now he wouldn't question her actions.

--------

With a small moaning sound a tired Sakura opened her eyes, looking at white ceiling, feeling being draped in warmth she soon realized she was back in bed! Sitting up quickly she hesitantly scanned the room, fear grabbing her throat at the thought she might get punished for what had yesterday happened.

But she soon realized Itachi was not in the same room as her and she allowed herself to relax again. Sighing she lied back down and blinked at the ceiling, wondering what had happened or it was real or not, that angel Akatsuki member, did she saw him? Did he prevent her from escaping? Did he brought her back to Itachi?

So many questions!

Rolling over on her belly she closed her eyes again, ready to doze off again.

Sakura's eyebrow narrowed, she rather landed on something strange, her hands groping around to feel what it was, she didn't want to open her eyes but decided to ignore it and scooted closer to it. Throwing her arm and leg around it she nuzzled towards the warm spot on the thing she was being snuggled up to.

Feeling it move slightly she quickly realized that something wasn't right here, opening one eye she didn't wanted to believe what she was. Blinking a few times it still didn't wanted to disappear and she quickly realized she was facing the harsh truth. She was covering Itachi's body with half of her own body and he was looking at her, gazing at her in calmness.

Sakura was about to yell at him, for being so damn close with her! A hand clamped around her mouth and she tried to wriggle away from him.

After a few moments Sakura gave up and let herself relax, but that didn't mean she stopped with glaring at him. When he finally removed his hand she immediately sat up.

Itachi lied back down and looked at her clothed back, remaining quiet. Sakura turned around, her green emerald pools overflowing with confusion and fear for him. "I did nothing you did not wanted." he sighed as he closed his eyes, knowing exactly about what she was thinking.

"Oh." she whispered in reply.

They continued to be in that situation, Itachi lying down with his eyes closed and to most people he would be sleeping, but only a fool would believe it. Sakura slowly, lied down next to him, looking at the ceiling.

Sakura's eyes narrowed slightly; the things most villains said about Uchiha Itachi weren't really true, he doesn't kill for fun, then why was she still alive? He wasn't like Kisame who liked to crush little things with his power, Itachi had his own way to get what he want from people without fighting for it.

But who was she to judge? She travelled just a couple of days with him, and who knew how long she had been asleep while she had awoken up with Itachi in the room.

They continued to lie there, no one moving at all and Sakura started to get sleepy again. Yawning she closed her eyes before relaxing again.

"Itachi."

Opening his eyes he looked at the ceiling. "What is it." he said quietly. The voice remained silent and Sakura opened one eye to look at Itachi, wondering what he would do. "The leader has contacted us." Suro finally spoke, "I think you should know this." Itachi sat up and glanced down at the girl.

Sakura understood the message that she was not to leave the room until he came back. Itachi moved towards the edge of the bed and planted his feet on the ground before standing up straight and walking with ease towards the door. Not throwing her a second glance he opened the door and closed it behind him again.

Sakura immediately sat up and quickly scooted off the bed towards the window. Hearing the muffling voices behind the door she slowly opened the window, biting her lip when it made a sound as she pushed the window towards the outside wall.

Taking a deep breath she was about to throw her leg out but a voice stopped her "Unless you want Kisame to chase you down, I'd be a good girl and stay in the room. Shocked she turned her head and looked over her shoulder to see Itachi standing in the threefold with the doorknob in his hand and Suro behind him, looking at her with his grey green eyes.

Sighing she shot Itachi one more glancing before retreating her leg and closing the window.

"I don't take orders from psycho clan killers." she hissed back at him and saw Itachi raising a elegant eyebrow. In a flash he had disappeared and Sakura panicked as she tried to run away but it was too late, he already had pushed her against the wall next to the window, his hot breath fanning around her ear, "I suggest you help us if you want to see Sasuke back." Sakura paused and knew Itachi knew she would do anything to see Sasuke back. Why o why was she related to Sasuke or Naruto.

Sakura flushed red, she could feel his chest against her own and stopped breathing while her eyes widened.

Itachi looked over his shoulder, "You can go now. It will start soon." Suro nodded and turned around to leave the two alone again. "Don't try that again." Sakura glared stubbornly at Itachi before looking back at her with his sharingan activated. Sakura quickly looked at the ceiling.

"Go to sleep kunoichi, in a few hours we will move again."

He retreated and stalked back towards the desk and sat down on the edge, kicking off his sandals again as he continued to look at Sakura who made no move or anything near. Itachi resisted the urge to roll his eyes and lied back down, closing his eyes. "Am I allowed to go downstairs?" Sakura's gaze remained planted on him, knowing he wouldn't answer but stubbornly not giving in.

"Well?"

Still no answer and she gave up, walking towards the bed she crawled over his strong legs back to her side of the bed and sliding her body under the covers again.

She soon found herself drifting into a peaceful slumber.
