A/N: Hey guys! Thankyou to everyone who has left a review! I wanna do something special for you all, so i would like to know what you would like to see more of in the story! I will do everything i can to incorperate your ideas into it :3
Onyx eyes blinked rapidly.
Obviously the young Uchiha had heard that wrong. Did Sakura, the same Sakura who was madly in love with him, HIS Sakura (wait what?!) say that she was going to kill him?
No, she couldn't have. He must have most definately heard that wrong. She probably said something more along the lines of 'Neeey, Sasuke-kuuun! I missed you so much! I love you!'
The only thing that hinted his dull fantasy was all in his mind was his two comrades faces. Disblief.
This was just too much to take in. The Konoha cherry blossom had become something much darker.
Sasuke glared at the ground, folding his hands into fists at his side. This wasn't right. He looked up with force at the girl, making a silent promise to himself and those around him. There would be no stopping his goal to bring Sakura back, mentally.
He wasn't the only one who needed her. Naruto, Sai, Tsunade... Konoha. She was the glue that held everything together. It had taken Sasuke long enough to realize it.
Sakura suddenly became serious, tired of the mind games she played with them.
"Tch. Nothing to say?" She glanced between all of them. If she didn't get this over with soon Itachi-kun was going to be upset. Sakura highly disliked when Itachi was not pleased. Her eyes found Naruto and Sai.
'These two are going to be a problem.' Sakura mentally bit her nails, a habit even Itachi couldn't get rid of. 'What to do, whaat to dooo..'
"Sakura." Green eyes glanced in the direction of the voice. Annoyance ran through her noticing it was Naruto speaking. "You don't have to do this. Come back with us, come home. And we can figure everything out!"
How irritating. "No thanks. I have one goal and one goal only." She held her hand up, palm facing him. " Her face void of the annoyance she was feeling.
"WHY?!" His rage came with force. Sasuke also spoke up after Narutos' outburst.
"Why, Sakura."
"Uuugh, you all are dense aren't you." She placed her hands on her hips, her irritation finally breaching her body language. "Because Itachi-kun told me to do so, obviously."
Itachi-kun?! This just kept getting more and more unblieveable to Sasuke. That's all he had to hear to snap. He suddenly launched himself forward, catching Sakura off gaurd. Her eyes slightly wide with surprise.
Unfortunatly for the Uchiha, Sakura was prepared for his attack. She threw a weapon towards him as he came forward. He easily dodged it, although her intention was to move him into another postion, giving her the upper hand.
She was once again in front of him faster than he though possible for the pinkette. The shock he felt was short lived as her leg connected with his stomache. Her blow had knocked him back with enough force to even send his two comrades back as his body hit them as well.
Sakura flinched slightly, that was more painful that she would have thought. She did have a fight not too long ago as her comrades and herself made their way to this exact location. Earning her a few bruises.
Inwardly she shrugged. Pain would be nothing as long as Itachi was happy.
'Time to finish this and head back to Itachi-kun.' She threw herself forward once again, this time aiming a fist towards Naruto.
Naurto was too preoccupied with Sasuke to notice her coming right at him, that was until Sai caught her hand inches from his face.
This had earned him a growl from Sakura before a thought came to her. "Ehh, Sai-kuuun. Why would you do such a thing?" Her face feigned innocence, looking for a split second like the teammate he had long ago.
Her reaction to his touch had cause him a blush as he hesitated before her. Sakura grinned, knowing he would fall for such a thing. She sent her opposite leg into his back, grabbing his bag as he flew forward.
She couldn't have him using his idiotic ink.
"Sakura!" Narutos' angered voice came from next to her. She was too late to notice, he sent her flying across the clearing. She landed with a loud thud, and a small cry out from the pain. "I... I don't want to hurt you Sakura-chan.." His eyes held sadness.
All Sakura could do was glare. How dare he! How dare these Konoha ninja stand in her path to please Itachi?! She glowered at the blonde. "Naruto." Her voice a growl. "Stay out of my way."
She stood slowly. Her eyes portraying pure hate. "Enough of this." She flew forwards, kunai in hand. A shocked Naruto stood frozen. He had never seen hate in Sakuras' eyes.
Pink hair came closer with great speed, her kunai sliced the air as Sasuke barely pulled Naruto out of the line of fire.
It was far too late for Sakura. She had already sent her body flying towards the blonde, and now she was already there. Standing in front of Sasuke. Green eyes wide as they stared into blood red ones.
Panic was the last thing she remembered. 'No... Itachi-kun. I can't fail..'
Her body went limp as Sasuke caught her. He slid down to his knees, the girl in his arms. Why did it come to this? That was all he could ask, Why?
The sound of birds was deafening to the pink haired girls' ears. She mumbled slightly, trying to pull herself from the deep sleep. What happened?
Her eyes failed to open. Furring her brow at the sound of metal on metal as she tried to move her arms. What?
Finally able to get her green eyes open, she glanced around at her surroundings. A hospital. How curious. The white walls screamed at her, the smell of bleach and blood reached her nose.
Both of her wrists were bound to the metal bars on either side of her bed. The clinging sound the only audible noise reaching her ears. To her right where large bay windows, decorated with thick, ugly bars. They looked as if they didn't belong in the too white room.
Sakura shifted slightly, feeling the ichy sheets rub against her. It was then that relization dawned on our young pinkette. She was in Konoha.
She knew these sheets, this smell, that view outside. 'Motherf***er.'
The thought turned a large knot in the pit of her stomache, making her instantly sick. If she was unable to escape, she would have to accept she failed Itachi. That was one thing she could not do.
Her stomache churned even more as panic set in. This was the worst case senario, and in the worst case... Itachi had a plan for that.
Before Sakura finished the thought about Itachis' 'plan B', she tried gathering up her chakra to break free. When nothing came, she let a growl escape.
A sealing jutsu. Of course, beacuse why not?
She let her hair fall over her eyes. Itachi had made her strong, yet here she was... helpless to Konoha.
Footsteps outside of her room could be heard. Sakura pulled her emotions back into the darkness of her mind, looking composed as if worry wasn't in her vocabulary.
The shuffle of feet then the small creak of the door being opened. Her green eyes stayed steady on the entrance to see the culprit.
"Hello Sakura." Tsunade took a light step inside of the room, giving the door a push close. Sakura knew there were others outside, listening. As to who they were, she didn't have that answer.
"Hn."
The lack of responce gave annoyance to the Hokage. She shifted closer to the pinkette, letting her blonde hair wave back and forth. "As it is my duty as Hokage... you are going to have to be questioned. We can tell, from the little information we have, that you are currently included in the group of Akatsuki. Would that be correct to assume?"
Tsunade never stopped looking at her young pupil. Her hair was long, too long, but the yearning to reach out and drag a strand between her fingers was still there. The child that was never hers.
"Hai." Her response was cold and unemotional.
The Hokage knew what her answer would be. She had heard all the details and suspitions form the rest of team 7. Yet when the word left her mouth, there was nothing but shock bedded into her soul.
Deep down she had a swirling hope that Sasukes' sharingan had knocked the sense back into Sakura. Of course that was just a sick dream she was trying to believe, up until this very moment.
Tsunade decided now was a good time to take a seat, placed right next to Sakura.
"We are also under the impression that you may be subjected to some kind of mind control.. an-"
"Hah." A dry scoff came from the young girl before the Hokage.
Tsunade bit at her nail. Sakuras' short answers where really giving her nothing to go on, and at this moment they, SHE, needed answers! Something to tell them how and why Sakura became this way. Where she was, what happened to her, what was her goal now?
"The information we recieved after you dissapeared made us to believe you were taken. Yet here you are, as if you are in enemy territory." Tsunade continued despite the cold glare from Sakura. "What i am getting at Sakura, why were you with the Akastuki?"
Nothing came from the girl. This unsettled Tsunade as she sighed loudly. "Sakura... i would really like to do this the easy way. The way where you tell me what i need to know... and you donot force me to send you into interrogation."
Sakura still remained quite, not moving an inch.
Our blonde Hokage begain to feel helpless. Who is this person before her? Was it really the Sakura she grew to love as her own? The idea of sending her down to be questioned by any other than herself made her slightly sick. She did not want to do that, yet Sakura was giving nothing.
The chair she had occupied gave a squeak of protest as Tsunade stood up. "Fine. If that is the way you would like it Sakura. Answer me just this though, if you in fact were not taken and are with the Akatsuki. Then why are you here? Why did you come back to the place you seem to be so uncomfortable in? Why hurt your friends?!"
By the end of her speech she had risen her voice. Frustration set into her bones, making her become impatient with Sakuras' reluctentness to answer anything.
Yet... still. Nothing came from her.
Tsunade turned and opened the door slightly, only pausing when she heard Sakuras' familiar voice.
"I've come to kill the Uchiha." Tsunade froze. Her voice was lost. "I'm here to inflict punishment upon him." Sakuras' voice lace with a darkness she seemed to enjoy. "For Itachi-kun... my love."
As Tsunade exited the room, Sakuras' menical laugh was all that remained in her head. She whipped her head next to the door oppisite of herself. She had told him to stay in her office, told him he didn't need to be put in this position at the moment. Yet of course his usual stubborn self refused in that oh so familar manner.
There standing outside of the room was Sasuke, trempling with anger. His eyes portaying a longing that he had never expierenced before. The longing to hear Sakuras' sweet voice say his name the way she said his brothers.
"Sakura..."
