Chapter Three: Pink Blush
Author's Note: Sorry for not updating in a while. Christmas fics were taking up most of my time.
Sakura's cheeks turned bright pink as she stared at the Uchiha. Her eyes widened a little. This was an enemy that was kissing her! Well, he claimed he wasn't now. Sakura's tongue ran across her lips slowly.
A sweet, fruity taste hit her taste buds.
Her frigid fingers caressed her bottom lip for a few seconds. Then, the pink-haired girl looked up at Itachi. "A-are you really on Konoha's side?" Sakura stammered lowering her fingers. However, the shinobi didn't answer. Sakura tried a different question.
"Where are we? And... why did you attack me?" Itachi turned around to the kunoichi. "We're in the River Country." Sakura was a little surprised at that. She knew that the Akatsuki base resided there. In fact, that was where she was heading all along.
"As for why I attacked you, I was ordered to make a deal with you." Sakura's ears perked up. "I'm listening." The girl pressured Itachi to continue. "You're looking for clues about Sasuke's whereabouts, correct?" Sakura was shocked at how much this man knew. But she reluctantly nodded her head in agreement.
"I was ordered to give you information about Orochimaru, if-" The man's voice trailed off. The emerald-eye girl waited for him to continue.
"If you hand over the Kyuubi jinchuuriki."
Sakura's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. No way was she going to hand Naruto over to them! But... if she didn't, she'd never get any information on Sasuke, and he'd never come back to her.
"If you really are an ally of Konoha, you wouldn't be trying to capture Naruto." Sakura blurted out to the Uchiha. His face still bore the impassive look.
"True," the man finally spoke up again. "But, I'm a spy for the Akatsuki. Therefore, I must do as they tell me." Sakura's face fell as she looked down at her bandaged arms. "But... there's gotta be something else I can do..." The girl's voice trailed off as she looked into Itachi's eyes.
The Uchiha stayed quiet for a while. He thought about what the girl was saying to him. Finally, his shoulders fell. "I'll have to ask the leader."
Sakura's eyes lowered. She bit her lip trying to think of the situation she had gotten herself into. "Alright, let's go." Sakura replied after closing her eyes and thinking it all over. Once her eyes opened again, she surveyed the dark room closely.
Draped over a chair, she could see her crimson shirt and rosy skort. Blush overtook her face once more. Had Itachi actually taken off her clothes when she was unconscious?!
Still blushing furiously, the girl slid off of the bed. However, before she could move another step, her legs went limp and she began falling forward. Inches before she hit the ground, a hand caught her.
Sakura looked up at Itachi smiling sweetly at her. By then, it was decided that Sakura would be carried bridal style all the way to the Akatsuki base.
