Alright guys!! Chapter 7 is here for ya!
"Sakura thinking" "Inner Sakura"
Hope you enjoy it
Sakura woke up slowly. Her head was throbbing, and she could only see the darkness that surrounded her. Sakura tried to stand up, but the ropes that bound her stopped her from moving.
"Sid-Chan," A voice called out from the darkness. Sakura shook her head; already knowing who the voice belonged to. "Don't be like that Sid-Chan. You know this was the only way we could get you here, and I still need you."
"You don't need me any more!" Sakura yelled. "What do you want? I thought you had fucked with my life enough already."
A dark chuckle was heard. "Oh Sid-Chan. I only do what your parents asked of me. To protect you." The voice said. "They asked me that right before I killed them."
Sakura struggled with her ropes again, and this time she noticed they were getting looser. "What do you even need me for?" Sakura asked; trying to distract the man from noticing her ropes loosening.
"You see Sid-Chan," the man stepped forward to reveal a man with orange hair, and orange eyes. "I need you to be the Phoenix container! Isn't that exciting? You'll be so powerful!"
"I won't do it." Sakura said, fumbling with her ropes. "I will not allow my body to be used by that thing, Pein."
"Well you see, we don't really need your permission." Pein said. A sword came clashing through the air. He stabbed Sakura in the stomach with a sword. "All I need is your blood."
Pein chuckled evilly as he walked to a door, and opened it. The door shut tightly, and there was a click heard on the other side of the door.
"Bastard," Sakura mumbled out. She focused her chakra to her stomach, and slowly began healing herself.
Meanwhile
Neji, Hinata, Sai, and Naruto sprinted into Tsunade's office. "TSUNADE-BACHAN!!" Naruto screamed as he flung the door open.
"Naruto, now is not a good time!" Tsunade said standing from her desk. On the other side, Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro sat. They turned their heads to look at Naruto and the others.
"Forgive me Tsunade-sama," Neji said, "But this has to deal with Sakura. The Akatsuki took her."
Tsunade just looked at the group. Her face dropped to the floor, and she fell into her seat. "They took Sakura..." Tsunade said quietly to herself; tears began showing on her face.
"They must need her for the ritual." Kankuro said, standing from his seat. "She does have good chakra control, correct? That means they probably want to infuse the Phoenix with her."
Gaara nodded, and Temari slumped her shoulders back. "Poor Sakura-Chan," she said. "We have to do something to get her back! Tsunade-sama!"
Tsunade looked up. "Hai," she said. "Sai, Naruto, Neji, and Shikamaru will go out and find Sakura."
Gaara looked at her. "Temari, Kankuro, and I will go as well." Seeing Tsunade was about to refuse, he added, "We all owe Sakura our lives. I will not take no for an answer."
Tsunade just nodded. "Find Shikamaru, and you guys will be able to leave right away."
"I'm already here Tsunade-sama," a lazy voice said from the door way.
"Good." Tsunade said, and then turned towards Hinata. "Hinata you are to stay at the Hyuga estate. We will have guards there to protect you. We can not allow you to get into the Akatsuki's hands."
"Hai," Hinata said.
"Good, now you all will get your things and meet up in the-" Tsunade was cut off by a poof.
"Shouldn't I be going to to find my student, Tsunade-sama?" Kakashi asked appearing in front of them.
"Fine." Tsunade said, and then turned to Shikamaru. "You will now be guarding Hinata."
Shikamaru nodded. "I didn't really want to go up against the Akatsuki anyway."
"Alright then. Shikamaru take Hinata to her home." They both nodded, and left the room. "The rest of you will leave in one hour. Is that clear?" She asked looking straight at Kakashi.
"Hai Tsunade-sama," the group of shinobi chorused.
"Now, I know one of the Akatsuki's bases is located near Kohona. I believe that is where Sakura is being held. DISMISSED!"
The seven shinobi nodded, and disappeared in smoke.
"Damn it Sakura," Tsunade said to herself. "How do you get yourself in these situations?"
Meanwhile
"Damn it!" Sakura cursed. She had now successfully healed her stomach, and gotten the ropes off of her arms. Sakura was standing up, trying to contemplate what her next move was.
"We could jump the next person who comes through the door," Inner-Sakura said.
"Hai," Sakura thought, "But they're definitely going to be stronger than me."
"But we'll have the element of surprise," Inner-Sakura stated.
"It could work," Sakura thought, "But-" Sakura was cut off when the door slowly opened. She had no time to waste, and lunged at the person in the door way.
"Ow! Sid-Chan!" A voice cried from under her. "Tobi was trying to be a good boy. Tobi wanted to help Sid-Chan escape."
"Oh, Tobi!" Sakura said, letting the person up, "I think Tobi would be a very good boy if he helped me escape."
"Hai Sid-Chan!" Tobi said.
"Tobi, please call me Sakura." Sakura said, walking out the door with Tobi. "My name is Sakura."
"Okay Sakura-Chan!" Tobi said. He took Sakura's hand, and lead her down a hallway.
"Tobi, I don't remember this place. Where are we?" Sakura asked, as they began walking up some stairs.
"This is the Kohona base, Sakura-Chan! We have one near all of the hidden villages!" Tobi exclaimed excitedly. He lead her to a wooden door. He opened it, and on the other side was a large forest filled with trees.
"Thank you, Tobi," Sakura said while hugging Tobi. "You wont get in trouble, will you?"
"No, Sakura-Chan. Tobi is a good boy, remember?" Tobi said.
A loud boom was heard. Tobi threw Sakura a few feet into the forest. "Run, Sakura-Chan!" He yelled. Deidara ran out of the base along side Sasori.
"Where the fuck is she Tobi, yeah?" Deidara asked, grabbing Tobi by the cloak.
"Tobi is a good boy. He doesn't know where Sakura-Chan is." Tobi said.
"Sakura-Chan?" Sasori stabbed one of his poison swords through Tobi's stomach. "Who told you to call her Sakura-Chan, Tobi?"
"She did," Tobi said. Sasori made a circle with the blade; it still being within Tobi's stomach.
"GAAAAH!" Tobi screamed out in pain. Sakura just stood there; watching some feet away. When she heard Tobi scream, she lost it.
"Crystal Release: Crystal Needles!" Sakura called out. A bombardment of pink needles flew towards Sasori and Deidara. They tried to dodge, but the needles were going at such a fast speed they couldn't dodge them all.
Deidara had a few in his chest, and was panting hard. Needles stuck out of Sasori everywhere, but it looked like it did him no harm. Tobi lay on the ground; no needles stuck through him, but the sword was still inside his stomach.
"There you are, Sid-Chan," Sasori chuckled. He pulled several scrolls out from behind his back. "Ready to play?"
Sakura just did a few hand signs, slammed her hand to the ground, and whispered, "Earth Release: Rock Staff."
When Sakura brought her hand back off of the ground, a large rock staff appeared along with it. Sakura got into a defensive stance, and glared at Sasori.
"You are very lucky that Leader-sama is not here right now Sid-Chan." Sasori said attaching puppet strings to his five puppets he had summoned. "He wouldn't go so easy on you."
Sakura just laughed. She aimed her staff for Sasori, and threw it. Sasori just gracefully jumped out of the way. "Did you really think that would hit me?" He asked.
"I knew it wouldn't," Sakura said motioning behind him. Sasori turned around, and gasped at what he saw. There was Deidara; he had been stabbed through the heart by the staff. Deidara's eyes were closed, and his chest wasn't moving.
"YOU'RE DEAD!" Sasori screamed, attacking Sakura with poisoned kunai from his puppets.
Sakura just gracefully dodged all of them. While she was dodging she just laughed. "No. I think Deidara is the one that's dead."
"Insolent wench!" Sasori called. He used his five puppets to surround Sakura. He chuckled evilly. "How are you going to get out of this one, Sid-Chan?"
Sakura did a few hand signs, and six clones appeared. Sakura sent five clones to deal with the puppets, and her other clone to deal with Sasori. Sakura raced over to Tobi.
"Tobi, are you alright?" Sakura asked, kneeling down next to him.
"To-obi is a g-good b-boy." Tobi said, blood was spiting out of his mouth.
Sakura closed her eyes; they were wet with tears. "Tiger, Horse, Rabbit, Rat, Dog," Sakura muttered to herself. "Mystic Palm Technique."
Taking a deep breath, Sakura placed her hands on Tobi's stomach. He just gurgled up more blood. "Damn it Tobi, don't die. Don't die."
Sakura felt for Tobi's pulse; there wasn't one. "Damn it." Sakura muttered. The tears fell freely from her eyes.
"You should pay more attention, Sid-Chan," Sasori whispered from behind Sakura. Sakura didn't even turn around. "I'm sure Leader-sama would believe me if he said I accidentally killed you while you were trying to run away."
Sasori stepped a few feet away from Sakura, "Don't want blood on myself you know." He drew out one of his poison swords and hoisted it over his head. "Good bye, Sid-Chan."
He thrusted the sword downward, towards her heart. He was about to stab her until he heard, "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
A palm hit Sasori directly in the chest. This went over and over again sixty-four times. Sasori collapsed on the ground.
"Sakura-Chan!" Neji ran over to Sakura, who was still kneeling beside Tobi.
"I let him die. I let him die." Sakura said, while rocking back and forth. "I wasn't able to save him."
"Sid-Chan." A dark voice called Sakura through the forest. Neji and Sakura looked up; there stood Kisame, Itachi, Hidan, and Konona.
"SAKURA-CHAN!" A yellow and orange blur sped past the group of Akatsuki, and ran directly towards Sakura. Naruto was in front of her in a few seconds. "Kakashi, Gaara, Temari, Sai, Kankuro, Neji, and I came to save you!"
"Neji-kun, Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked, getting out of her daze. She also noticed the group of Kohona and Suna shinobi that stood in front of her.
"We should leave as soon as possible." Gaara stated, uncorking his gourd.
"Hai." Kakashi said lifting up his hiate. "I will take Itachi."
"We'll take the chick." Temari and Kankuro said. They sped over to the blue haired Konona.
Sai looked at the group. "Gray haired loser." Sai said nodding toward Hidan.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING A LOSER YOU FUCKING KID?!" Sai just shook his head, and went over to fight the gray haired akatsuki member.
Naruto glared at Kisame. "You're mine." He said.
Naruto charged toward Kisame, but stopped when a loud feminine screech was heard; the whole battle field stopped.
In the middle stood Pein. He had Hinata bound by ropes, and slammed her to the ground. "I suggest you stop what all of you are doing." He stated pulling out a knife, " You don't want poor little Hyuga to die now, do you?"
The Kohona and Sand shinobi stopped their attacks. Sakura just glared at Pein. "Tonight is the full moon." Pein stated. "Sid-Chan, you are coming with us, or we will be force to kill this girl."
"I'm sorry Neji-kun," Sakura whispered to Neji, "I can't let them hurt Hinata-Chan.
Hai." She said out loud.
"Good; Konona and Hidan; finish them off. Kisame and Itachi, lets go." Pein said. The members all nodded, and Itachi appeared behind Sakura.
"Let's go, Sid-Chan," Itachi said grabbing Sakura's forearms. She glared, but nodded. They disappeared with a blink of the eye.
