AN: Well I'm finally back on the internet and I would like to think you all for reviewing. This chapter is shorter then the last but that is only because I decided to end it where it was. It was a really long chapter that I had decided to split up into parts. So I hope you like it. Please read and review.

I apologize ahead of time for Naruto being a dobe in this part of the story.

Chapter seven: The Chase to Rescue a Dobi Part One.......

"Where are we going to look for Senju?" Naruto asked Gaara flipping on the television set oft the hotel room. "What if the Akatsuki already got to him? What if he is already dead."

Gaara sighed rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Must you always ask so many questions Naruto. You are quite annoying."

"Well excuse me." Naruto rolled his eyes flipping the channel again. He heard some kind of strange Arabian music and turned to see Gaara taking out his phone. Gaara had looked at the phone and Naruto could swear that he saw the red head smirk.

"It's been awhile since you've called." Gaara replied was it Naruto's imagination or was Gaara's voice softer as well. He could feel a strange feeling of anger down inside. Why would he get angry if Gaara was nicer to this person then to him? It shouldn't matter so why? Naruto felt his hands roll into fists. He was not jealous he couldn't be. "I am taking care of the brat right now."

"Hey I'm not a brat!" Naruto yelled. "Why the hell can't you be decent to me." He stomped into the bathroom looking at the window. He had to get out of her. Gaara was just messing with his mind. He was sure of it. Naruto also hated the feelings that were starting to circulate inside of him. Like last night for instant when Gaara was sleeping. Naruto had almost kissed him! Naruto pressed his ear against the door to listen in.

"Yes I understand...I miss you, hopefully we will see each other again."

Naruto glared at the door. So that is how it was? Gaara kissed him just to have fun to tease him. He was a manipulative bastard who couldn't possibly now the confusing thoughts that were taking place inside of Naruto's mind. Naruto slid the bathroom door open and struggled to get through it. Thankfully they were on the first floor of the Hotel and it wasn't hard to slip out.

"So long. No one is going to use me! I'll start my own life as someone different!"

Gaara frowned and looked over to the bathroom. Naruto had been in there for an hour which was highly unusual of the blonde. Gaara hated the unease that he felt inside. "Naruto I'm giving you to the count of three to come out or I'm busting through this door." There was no answer so Gaara picked the lock and opened the door to discover that the room had been abandoned and the window was left open. "Fuck me."

"Wow the famous detective Gaara lost one. We might as well tell Tsunade we failed the mission there is no way that the Akatsuki won't use this to there advantage." Hinata replied scowling at Gaara as she heard the news that he had escaped.

Gaara sent here a chilling glare. "And if the Akatsuki find him it will be your fault for letting that slut with us."

Hinata tried to punch him but Gaara dodged. "You have no prove that Sakura did it. Why would she do something like that after Sasuke almost drowned her? She is smarter then that."

"Not really." Shikamaru said walking into the room and folding his arms. "Sakura had a visit with Sasuke the other day. She is double spying for them and you are turning a blind eye because of your crush. What a drag."

"Liars!" Hinata said plopping down on the bed and glaring at the ceiling. "I demand proof of that."

A LITTLE EARLIER WHEN NARUTO JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW

Sakura looked at Naruto with a frown. "Are you sure you want to runaway."

Naruto looked a bit surprised to see Sakura there. "Sakura....please don't tell anyone. I just can't stand everyone treating me as a child. I don't need a baby-sitter and I really just want my normal life back."

Sakura smiled sweetly and handed him an envelope. "I thought you would say that. I truly don't know if I will ever earn your forgiveness but I feel that this is the only way I can show you how sorry I really am. In this envelope is 500 dollars I'm sure it will help you out. I have a friend in San Francisco you can take the train there and she'll help you get a new life where no one will harm you."

Naruto took the envelope and gave Sakura a huge grin. "Thank you Sakura. You are the best friend that anyone could hope for."

Sakura watched Naruto with gritted teeth. "Why the hell do you have to say shit like that. Oh well maybe some day you'll realize friendship means nothing." she walked over to Sasuke's room and knocked on the door. Sasuke opened the door dressed in his usual shirt and shorts. "Sasuke-kun!" Sakura leaped into his arms hugging him as tightly as she could. "I have wonderful news! Naruto took off I gave him 500 dollars and told him to go to the train station. You can get him easily."

"Really?" A dark voice said from the doorway of the bathroom. Sakura turned to see Itachi Uchiha. "Well then you have played your part well and we no longer need you."

Sasuke shot her in the chest and looked at his brother. "Let's go Nii-san."

Itachi walked over to Sakura taking out a small vile he forced it down her throat. "She will be dead in a few hours even if someone heals her wounds the poison is a specialty of Sasori's." He took his brother by the hand and led him out to the car.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

Shikamaru led Gaara to the room he had seen Sakura leave. "I am sure she was meeting with Sasuke."

Hinata rolled her eyes. "You guys have lost your mind. Sakura is a good girl and wouldn't help the Akatsuki's out. She is smarter then that."

"You really think so?" Gaara said opening the door of the room. He had already knocked and received no answer. Truthfully he was growing rather impatient and just wanted to get to Naruto before the Akatsuki did. Hinata screamed when she seen Sakura laying on the ground gasping for breath with a wound in her chest. "You were spying for the Akatsuki's with the hope of gaining Sasuke's love. Do you realize know that Sasuke will only love his Aniki?"

Hinata ripped the sleeves of her shirt trying to dress the wound so they could get Sakura to the hospital. "Give it a rest Gaara. Sakura wouldn't do anything like that."

Sakura coughed again and gripped Hinata's arm tightly. "He is right," she gasped for breath looking Hinata in the eyes. "Just let me die. If you look at my cell-phone you will see that I have been helping the Akatsuki this whole time. I used you to help Sasuke find Naruto. Let me die."

Gaara glared at Sakura. "If that is true then you know where Naruto left to. Tell me where he is....now."

Sakura coughed again. "I can't this poison will kill me." Sakura replied slipping into unconsciousness.

Gaara leaned over smelling her breath. "Just as I thought. I am afraid that Sakura will be paralyzed from the waist down also her left arm." He left the room and returned with a small bottle. "It has affected her nerves already.."

Hinata looked up at Gaara with suspicious glare. "And just how do you happen to have a cure."

"It is my cousin's poison Hinata. You remember Sasori, the double-spy for our agency. He called me last night to tell me that the Akatsuki have tracked down Senju they are sending Kakuza and Hidan after them. You have to go after them. I will be going after Naruto. He'll be at the train station."

He had said that closing the pink cell-phone that Sakura had always carried. Hinata yanked it away from them opening the cell-phone and reading the last message that was sent to her from Sasuke. "So it was true. It doesn't matter she was a victim of Sasuke and Itachi. Who will take her to the hospital while we are tracking down the Akatsuki. I just can't leave her." Hinata said softly her eyes were filling with tears.

"How troublesome." Shikamaru placed his hand on Hinata's shoulder. "Don't worry about Sakura I will take her to the hospital. You need to get going if you are going to save Senju. Gaara already left."

Hinata stood up. "Thank you Shikamaru."

Shikamaru was left alone with Sakura he looked down at the girl. "I should kill you for betraying my friend. That would be too troublesome so you can count yourself lucky miss. Haruno." He whispered this while picking her up and heading to a car.

___________________________________________________________

It was getting dark and Naruto felt a not growing in the pit of his stomach. He was finally free of the damn agents and with any luck he would be on his way to a new life. Naruto had already paid for his ticket and was now sitting on the bench outside waiting for the train to come. There was no place to sit inside so he was out here in the rain.

"Would you like to share my umbrella?" Itachi asked holding his umbrella over Naruto's head. He knew Naruto was a bit to dense to put together that he and Sasuke were brothers. Just as long as he didn't say his name. "You look lonely and a bit upset."

Naruto looked up at the man surprised to see a handsome man with onyx eyes like sasuke's but this man had blonde hair. "What is your name?"

"Leaf Oakland." He replied smiling at Naruto's expression. "My parents are hippies. They named my sisters Sunshine and Posy."

Naruto chuckled. "Wow...I've never met anyone from a hippie family. I'm um........Naruto Walker."

well at least he did have enough brains to change his last name. Itachi thought. "Are you okay Naruto. You look like you are running away. To run away from a problem is never a good thing. Until one deals with it, the problems will keep resurfacing."

"Dude you sound like a hippie." Naruto said folding his arms. "I'm not running away....well maybe. I'm just trying to get away from annoying people and finish my college."

"Due to an unfortunate accident the train station will be closed until further notice." An announcement broke through on the speakers.

"Damn it now what do I do." Naruto said leaning against the wall. "There sure to come after me."

Itachi looked at Naruto with a look of fake sympathy. "My sounds like you really are in trouble. Would you like me to accompany you to the police station."

"They might find me there." Naruto grumbled. "Wait why am I even talking to you?"

"Naruto unless you want to get hurt you will come with us." Naruto turned to see Deidara and Sasori. Was it his imagination or did Sasori look kind of like Gaara? "Come peacefully un, and you stranger stay out of this."

Itachi stood in front of Naruto. "You won't bother Naruto. What did he do to you?"

Naruto looked at Itachi. "They want to harm me Leaf. Please don't get involved you could get hurt."

"Leaf? Great we have a tree-hugger amongst us." Sasori grumbled. "Deidara did you prepare the bombs."

Itachi grabbed Naruto's hand and ran quickly away. Naruto was nearly dragged all the way into a wooded area. "There cars can't get through her." He led Naruto to a log-cabin. "This is my home why don't you come in and rest a bit. At least until your cloths dry and the rain stops."

"What if they come after me?" Naruto whispered softly.

"Trust me, no one will ever find you." Itachi reassured. "You'll be safe from them."

Naruto nodded and took Itachi's hand. "Thank you Leaf."

Itachi nodded leading him into the cabin. Your safe from them but not from me my poor, poor cherub.
