- Chapter 4: Worried -

" Itachi, man I have the worst headache." Kisame said as he wobbled ( lol ) over to the cave entrance.

" Hn" Itachi said irritated. He had been thinking of that blasted annoyance Sakura Haruno.

She was the only one to make him so annoyed, well his teammates came close, but she was just teasing and she made him want to hurt her.

" Itachi are you listening?" Kisame asked looking at his raven haired teammate. No response.

" Itachi?" Kisame asked and gazed at Itachi's face, a face that was scowling and with eyes narrowed.

Kisame frowned at him curious to what the Uchiha was so ticked off about.

Finally Itachi stood angrily, well blank, but he was ticked on the inside.

"Itachi what are yo-" before Kisame finished his sentence Itachi had left the cave. ( Itachi has left the building)

- With Sakura and Neji -

" Sakura are you...okay?" Neji asked knocking on the Medics bedroom door.

She had not come out since that morning but it was almost nine at night and he was worried. Not that he would show it, or admit it.

No answer came from the room. He walked in to see Sakura not even there. He panicked thinking she was kidnapped with out him knowing by the Akatsuki.

" Neji what are you doing?" Sakura asked from behind, he jumped, startled.

" Sakura?!" He asked turning around facing the pink haired girl who had a pink eye brow raised at his little jump.

" Eh...yeah?" She asked the coffee haired male.

" Wh...where have you been? When did you leave? Why didn't you tell me you left?!" He asked getting angry at her for making him, a Hyuuga, worry over her, a simple Medic and ANBU Captain.

" Eh? I left you a note in the living room and I left two hours ago. I was called into the hospital. Man Neji, your acting like a husband worrying about his wife or something." Sakura said rolling her green eyes, teasing, but for Neji she hit right on the mark.

The Hyuuga blushed a light pink, but hid it, well tried to hide it with his hand as he scowled and walked away cursing under his breath at her.

' What's his problem?' Sakura thought curiously.

- In Konoha -

Sasuke was pacing. Pacing in his room at the Uchiha compound.

Why? Well... he was confused. He had asked all The rookie 12 and even the Hokage her self and they all confirmed Sakura being ANBU captain.

Sasuke was trying to understand how that could happen. He had to take the chunnin exams and Sakura was already ANBU... Captain even? Was the world ending?

He couldn't make since of anything anymore.

Why? How did she become so strong? How had she, the weak one, the annoying fan girl, become the most powerful and best ninja in the village?

How had that happened? Tsunade's apprentice? She can break all the bones of your hand by a tap of the pinky? How did she do it? Could she even beat Itachi?

That question froze him.

Could Sakura beat his older brother?

Sasuke had to ask the Hokage what Sakura's mission was. He had to find out. This was driving him mad! He had to know if she was sent on a mission involving Akatsuki. He was scared for the first time in years.

He was scared, if Sakura was indeed sent on a mission to kill members of Akatsuki, He was terrified she would get hurt, because he wasn't sure if that question was fact or fiction. He had no clue if Sakura could beat Itachi, and he really didn't want to know if she could or couldn't.

The village saw one expression on the Uchiha's face they had never before seen.

Fear.

- With Sakura And Neji -

Sakura sneezed for the fifth time that day. Some one was talking or thinking about her a lot, no doubt the Akatsuki. It had been well over a week since she had encountered the Akatsuki last.

Almost two weeks since Sakura and Neji have been in Mist, and almost two weeks of nothing new happening. No news on Akatsuki, nothing.

The Akatsuki hadn't messed with her and she had not seen them, but that didn't mean they weren't there watching her. Oh she knew, and it wasn't all the Akatsuki watching her, but a certain Uchiha who couldn't seem to seen enough of her.

She felt his faint barley noticeable chakra. Only because she was an expert at concealing her own chakra.

She felt it all day and most of the night he left her alone when it was almost midnight then left until she left for work then he would follow her and then follow her when she went to pick up Neji at the bar. He decided to keep going to the bars just in case.

Sakura could almost laugh at how Ironic the situation was. She tried for years for a certain Uchiha to notice her, now she couldn't get a certain Uchiha to stop noticing her.

Oh she knew Itachi Uchiha didn't like her. Quite the opposite. She disliked him and she felt the murderous intent rolling off from his position to her every time he was stalking her. She knew she made him made. She thought back to the third time she had met him. Every thing changed then....

She shook her head. No she promised herself she wouldn't think about it. She did not like the Uchiha dang it. Itachi Uchiha was an enemy nothing more, nothing less. She would think nothing more of it.

She wasn't worried however about him harming her, she knew Itachi couldn't see very well and she knew he couldn't use the Mangakyo on her.( hum wonder if I spelled that right?)

She wasn't stupid she wasn't going to take Itachi lightly he could kill her and he wanted to, but she wasn't one to be taken lightly either. She could put up a match against Itachi and she somewhat wanted to know who the winner would be between her and Itachi.

But she wasn't stupid enough to go fight him on purpose.

Sakura was heading home from the hospital right now. She was tired. Today had been like every day, full of emergency's and hecticness...( not even a word)

She paused as Deidara jumped down from a building she was approaching. She knew he was there before hand, but she was surprised he confronted her.

She narrowed her eyes. She couldn't take him. Well she could try, but she had to flee after a bit. She was pretty much drained of her chakra.

Deidara stood there. Not moving just staring at her with his one blue eye. The other obscured by his long blond hair.

She was curious so she walked ahead right up to him he looked un-fazed surprisingly.

" Dei-Kun what are you doing here? Do you need something from me? " Sakura asked as Innocently as possible. Deidara looked a bit ashamed then blushed as he looked back up at her which surprised her. What was wrong with him?

" What are you-" But before she could finish he grabbed her hand and flung her to the building. She slammed into it causing a hole to be made in a Sakura shape. She groaned and fell to her knees to the ground spiting up blood.

' Did he just throw me like some rag doll!?' Sakura asked her self shocked.

' Looks that way now doesn't it?' Inner said to her. She ignored the voice as always and glared at the guilty looking blond Akatsuki member.

" What are you so ashamed about?! Your supposed to capture me aren't you?!" Sakura yelled spiting blood onto the ground and standing looking a bit exhausted but determined and angry.

" No. Itachi-san told us not to touch you, yeah" Deidara said looking at her, looking more then uneasy.

Sakura eyed him.

" Why did Itachi tell you not to touch me are you not supposed to capture me? He's bloody stalking me with a killing intent and he doesn't want you all to touch me?!" Sakura was angry now.

" WHY THE HECK DID YOU THROW ME TO A WALL THEN YOU BLOODY MORON!!!!!!" Sakura yelled pointing to the wall that had a few bricks missing from the impact.

" It was either throw you to the wall or pull you to me. I chose the latter, yeah" Deidara said eye twitching.

" Well why did you have to?" Sakura asked sort of curious, forgetting she was thrown to a wall by the man, and probably had a broken rib or two.

" This..." He pointed to his shoulder where there was a poisoned kunai in his right shoulder. She figured it was poisoned anyway. Deidara didn't look to good.

" You saved me? Why? " Sakura asked eying the man but looking at the kunai a bit uneasy. Not for the reason you'd guess she would be, but because she was worried about him. Crazy yes, but she was a medic after all. And they had history that she rather forget. One involving Sake and a rather long mission.

" Itachi-san said we must keep you alive and-" Deidara stopped and looked more then a bit feverish. He looked rather clammy and about to pass out, seconds before he really did pass out. He fell and using what chakra she had left, she caught him and lifted him to her back.

She couldn't believe she was doing this, but she cared the Akatsuki member to the hotel anyway. She just hoped Neji wasn't back, though she some how knew he would be. Through the window it was then.

- With Itachi earlier -

Itachi watched as the medic, he disliked right now, walked down the street. He looked up as he noticed a ninjas presence a few buildings away then he noticed he was going to hit Sakura with a kunai, suddenly he felt Deidara's chakra flare and appear in front of Sakura.

He looked at the blond who stood in front of Sakura looking a bit ashamed and then embarrassed?

' What is the moron doing?!' Itachi thought then Deidara grabbed Sakura's surprised hand as she approached him and he flung her to the wall as the kunai missed her and hit his shoulder.

Itachi's eyes went a bit wide. Did Deidara just... save her?

He watched the Medic collapse then spit up blood and he winced ready to kill Deidara if she was harmed. He needed the medic to heal his eyes and Leader would not be happy if she died.

But then she stood and started yelling at the blond and finally it grew quiet as Deidara spoke then finally passed out. What surprised him the most was she caught him and took him with her.

' What the-' Itachi thought surprised that she would do something like that for her enemy.

' What is the kunoichi thinking? Is she planing on keeping him as hostage? Forcing answers from him?...' Itachi thought curious why she didn't just call him to take Deidara.

Itachi followed first the Ninja who tried to kill or at least hurt the Medic. He corner the male and slammed him to the ground.

" What are your orders?" He asked low in the males ear.

" Kill Haruno Sakura." The ninja said quickly. Not wanting to mess with Akatsuki.

" Tell your leader that Haruno is ours. To harm her is to cross Akatsuki." The male wet himself, but nodded none the less. Itachi shook his head. What pathetic Ninja there were now a days.

Itachi then followed the medic's almost non-existant chakra signature. Shocked when he found her at the Inn she and the other male stayed had taken Deidara to her room none the less, where Itachi noticed she laid Deidara in bed then. What was she doing? Was she.. treating him?

That Medic was making Itachi think and he was even more angry at her now that he didn't understand her.

- In Konoha -

The chunnin Exams where now over. Sasuke had passed and Naruto had forced a party onto the Uchiha, who refused.

Sasuke was glad he passed but still freaked out. He was worried even more now.

A few days ago he had gone to the Hokage and asked about Sakura and her mission.

Tsunade just told him it was a S-ranked mission to Mist, Neji Hyuuga was with her. The mission was only to gather information.

But Sasuke was still unsure an S-Rank mission and they were just gaining info? Not a chance. It had to be dangerous or an assassination or something, to send an ANBU captain and one of the best ANBU with her.

It had to be on the Akatsuki. There was no other way it would be a S-ranked mission and have Sakura and Neji on it. Sasuke was not happy, actually he was almost in a panic.

He would admit he was very proud of Sakura. He was very very proud of her improvement. He couldn't explain it he felt strange. Wasn't it his goal to after he killed Itachi to revive his clan? He always planed on it being with Sakura.

Wasn't she the obvious choice?

His only female teammate would mean he's close to her, he knows her, and he would kind of like her.

Sasuke figured that he would come back after he accomplished his goal to come home to Sakura and ask her to marry him.

Its not like he didn't like her. He did but now he was noticing her. He still had to kill Itachi, but he couldn't help it. She was all he thought about while he was gone. She was all he thought of now and she was away ...probably fighting his brother now.

Sasuke sighed as he watched the clouds pass. He had just finished letting his anger out on the poor training grounds where he was currently laying on his back in the grass he managed to keep in tack.

' Maybe I shouldn't have forced all my emotions down away locked up? Maybe I shouldn't have done the same for my hormones? I can't stop thinking about her and its driving me nuts.. I think of her face, her green eyes, pink hair, pale skin,her new curves,...and I feel jealous that shes alone with the Hyuuga and jealous over Naruto who got to be with her all these years. Jealous over her hugging Kakashi like she did, but more jealous that Itachi could be touching her! ' Sasuke thought and bolted up angrily.

That was it he couldn't take it he had to command the Hokage to tell him Sakura's mission or he would go after her himself. He 't care if he was killed, he couldn't even think of his brother touching what was his.

But the question was...was Sakura still his?

- End chapter 4 -

Yo thats the end of this chap obviously. Hope you liked it, if not oh well. It's not like I'm just now writing this anyway. I'm just reediting it to be better. I'm not changing much. Not a lot anyway. I did change a little there with the Ninja who tossed the kunai at Sakura, and hit Dei. I mean I never said anything about that Ninja in later chapters, so I figured I'd at least make the story make sense so yeah.

If your new and reading this then hey! Thankx for reading! If your reading this and you've read it before then thankx for reading it again. ^^ Anyway later it's three am and I'm not In the mood to be creative anymore.

Dei-chan: Kyo....

Kyo: What...it wasn't rude it was truthful!

Itachi:..If it was me. I will kill them all! Bwhahahahaha!!!!

Kyo: I think he's on something.

Sasuke: Most likely. Itachi usually only tries to take over the world on Wednesdays and since it's Monday. He must be on something.

Kyo: Huh...anyway later. We'll deal with Itachi's craziness.

Sasuke: What? I'm not helping.

Kyo: You will do as you are told slave!

Sasuke: ( Eyes go wide.)

Dei-chan: ( sweat drop) Kyo must be on the same thing Itachi is. Yeah....( sigh) I'll make sure they're at least sane next chapter. Bai!
