Chapter 3

Before I could say another word I was tossed on to the comfy plush of the bed. I struggled to get up but hands wrapped around my torso and pulled me back down. I was literally the filling between two slices of bread. The lights went out and I settled down trying to figure out who had their hands around me, feeling them move closer, I gasped as I felt their warm body against mine. The quiet chuckle gave him away, Naruto. That meant….

Sasuke moved in my range of sight pulling the blanket over the three of us, he snickered again and moved in closer grabbing my hand. He could tell I looked scared, he leaned in and I closed my eyes, his breath tickled my nose. He seemed to be amused by my reaction because before I could move away he placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Hey teme, cut it out! What are you doing to Sakura?"

I'm glad the room was dark it made it easier to hide my blush.

"Shut up Naruto, and go to sleep." Sasuke grumbled.

His hand still held mine, it was hard to focus on sleep between these two, but somehow I managed.

When I awoke the next morning I was staring directly into Naruto's face, but then who had their hands wrapped around me? Lifting my head slightly to not disturb the knuckle head in front of me, I spied a very peaceful looking Sasuke. It was weird seeing him like that, usually he was so alert and…serious. Laying my head back down I closed my eyes and sighed slightly. Feeling Sasuke's hand move, I realized he must have been awake. Opening my eyes once more I looked over at Naruto, he looked so cute I felt the need to giggle. When he stirred and turned I turned as well to face Sasuke, who no surprise was staring at me.

"Do you ever let your guard down?" I asked, watching him as he brushed some loose hair from my eyes.

"Why would I do that?" He said, I snorted.

"Why not?" He knitted his brow.

"We could be attacked at any time." He looked at me like I was stupid.

I rolled my eyes, "You are such a stick in the mud." I stuck out my tongue.

He seemed surprised by this action but I moved to quickly for him and sat up to stretch. Naruto somehow fell out of bed and I giggled, I felt refreshed.

…

Finally all dressed and ready we headed out for our day of walking, along the way we bought some food and met some friendly town folk. Sasuke was just starting to finally let his guard down and Naruto was enjoying being a fool as usual. I was happy I chose to come on this trip; I guess I didn't realize how much I really needed it.

Before we knew it, it was getting dark once more and there was not a town in sight. We would have to sleep outside, setting up camp I took a look at the map, why were we taking such a long route?

I tried to bring it to Naruto's attention but he just brushed it off saying that it was the 'only' way, I felt like there was something he wasn't telling us. Setting it aside I was the designated cooker so I got to work. I made us some instant ramen and took a seat in front of the fire lost in thought.

My mind was so scrambled from everything that happened, I was still confused. Naruto and Sasuke sat beside me as they ate but I could tell they knew something was wrong.

"Hey Sakura, are you alright?" Naruto's worried voice.

"Umm…yeah, I'm okay. I'm just not that hungry." I said setting my food down.

"Can I have it then?" Naruto perked. Sasuke slapped the back of his head.

"Oww! Teme! What was that for?" Naruto grumbled rubbing the back of his head.

"No, it's okay, you can have it." I said giving it to him.

Getting up I excused myself and headed back to my tent. It hurt to think, something felt wrong. I passed it off on exhaustion but it wouldn't go away, I decided that I would go to bed. Remembering a small stream nearby I decided to go and get cleaned up. Grabbing some things I headed out, I didn't need to inform my two teammates because they would sense me leaving. It was only when I was by the stream did I finally realize what was wrong, we were being followed. Seeing an unknown reflection in the river behind me I dashed out of their grip. The man chuckled upon seeing me; I was wearing sleeping clothes, nothing more than shorts and a small blouse.

"This is Sakura Haruno of the leaf village." He chuckled, licking his lips.

"So pathetic." I glared at him.

Pathetic? Me! How dare he say such a thing! I had to get myself together, he was trying to rile me up and get me to do something stupid.

"Who are you? And how do you know me?" I asked, kunai in hand.

"You are carrying something that I want." I raised a brow.

"And what is that?" I asked, trying to look like I know what he's talking about even though I was genuinely confused.

He was flustered, "The time for talk is done."

The ninja before me was not what he looked like, he was big, and chunky but man he was fast! Trying to dodge him was like trying to dodge a bullet train. But I could tell he was holding back, he needed me alive. I dove left and ran my kunai into his left leg, he barely flinched before grabbing me by my hair. The thought of the chunin exams came back and I bit his arm. He released his grip and I drove my fist into his face.

"Don't touch my hair!" I yelled.

He stood up and smiled, spitting some blood from his mouth.

"This is just starting to get interesting, unfortunately I don't have the time for games."

Before I could react to his next move he punched me in the stomach, then everything went black.

…

"Hey Sasuke-" Naruto said stuffing the food in his mouth.

"-don't you think Sakura is taking an awful long time?"

The ramen was sticking to his face and Sasuke shook his head wiping off the piece of ramen stuck to his cheek.

"She is, isn't she. Maybe we should go look for her." Naruto nodded.

"But then again it is Sakura we're talking about, and she can handle herself." Sasuke was sure of that.

…

I grumbled and rolled over in the bed, my head was hurting. What happened, I remember going to a stream and then…

I gasped and sat up, a little too quickly. Reaching down I felt something on my stomach area, bandages? Where was I? One of my arms were chained up and it was obvious my chakra was sealed.

"Good morning Sakura." My eyes became wide as saucers.

"Itachi."
