(AN- YAY next chapter, so this one took me an hour to do, lol and i really like it...i hope you guys enjoy it too :))

Sasuke was back at Kohona sneaking around trying to make sure that no one would see him, his first stop was Naruto's house. When he got there he found Naruto sleeping in his bed.

"Man... I wonder how he is even able to sleep in that position" Sasuke said to himself

Naruto was laying side ways on the bed, with his head kinda falling of the edge of the one side, and a little bit of drool was coming out the side of his mouth.

"That is gross" Sasuke muttered "I guess ill go inside to see if she's there... hopefully I wont wake up that dobe" Sasuke chuckled to himself

Sasuke slowly slid open Naruto's bed room window and stepped inside, but right after he shut the window and was about to turn around he heard a loud THUMP.

"Damn" Sasuke muttered

Sasuke thought Naruto had waken up, and just as Sasuke was about to make up some reason why he was in Naruto's house, Sasuke turned around to find Naruto still asleep, but only on the floor and he was kinda talking to himself

"Haha. ramen" Naruto mumbled to himself

Sasuke had an eyebrow raised as he watched Naruto on the floor treating his pillow like a bowl of ramen "dobe" Sasuke muttered to himself and was about to leave the room when Naruto jumped up. This time Sasuke thought he was caught for sure, but when he turned around to face Naruto he found he was still asleep but this time he was...sleep walking.

"Er" Sasuke raised an eyebrow and watched Naruto head towards his bathroom.

Sasuke knew he probably shouldn't follow him, but he was curious as to what a person sleep walking would do, especially if he was heading towards the bathroom. Sasuke slowly followed Naruto making sure he was as quiet as a cat would be if it was trying to catch a mouse. Shortly him and Naruto where in the bathroom and Naruto was bending down over the bathroom

(Sasuke thinking to self, is he going to throw up?)

Just then Naruto threw he hand in the toilet and started laughing and yelling ramen, ramen.

"What the..." Sasuke said as he looked at Naruto with confusion.. "maybe..I should stop him.." Sasuke pondered to himself

Sasuke decided to step in, even though he was enjoying the scene, but he didn't want his ex teammate drinking out of the toilet. Sasuke snuck up behind Naruto and gently place his arm around Naruto's waist, the next thing Sasuke knew Naruto had latched himself onto Sasuke. Sasuke groaned and started shuffling his way back to Naruto's room.

"Damn your heavy" Sasuke complained as he finally go into Naruto's bed room.

Sasuke tried to pry Naruto off of him gently because he didn't want Naruto to wake up and find him in his house. When Sasuke almost had Naruto off, Naruto just threw his arms around his neck and started yelling ramen again.

"ramen...ramen, ramen" Naruto yelled while hugging Sasuke

"no...im NOT ramen" Sasuke then widened his eyes in fear that he woke him up because Naruto stop yelling

"Hinata" Naruto finally said as he snuggled closer to Sasuke

Sasuke sighed heavily

"Sasuke thinking to self, dobe, do I SOUND like Hinata?"

Sasuke glared at Naruto then finally decided to use the replacement jitsu, he replaced himself with the teddy bear that laid on Naruto's bed. Finally when Sasuke was out of his grip and Naruto was once again fast asleep on the floor, but this time snuggling the teddy bear Sasuke took a quick look around Naruto's house and when he saw that Sakura wasn't there he took of towards Ino's house, but Sasuke didn't leave without giving Naruto another death glare.

(Sakura)

"How long do I have to stay here?" Sakura asked Itachi

Itachi slowly raised his eyes he was sitting in the chair that was across from Sakura's bed, he was just trying to get some rest before he might have to go into battle against Orochimaru.

"Until I know its safe"

"(sigh) when will you know that?"

"Your not very patient, are you?"

"No..im not...(sigh) im just worried about Sasuke"

Itachi smirked "don't worry about him, im sure he's okay"

(Sasuke)

Sasuke was sneaking around out side of Ino's house trying to find a window that didn't have a curtain covering it. Finally when he found one he looked in side only to see a sight he never ever wanted to see in his lifetime. There on Ino's bed was Ino herself, and Shikamaru, and they weren't wearing any clothes nor did they have the blankets over them.

"AHHH" Sasuke yelled as he threw his hands over his eyes and fell back on the grass "what do ya know, the only curtain she has open is the one to her room... "

Sasuke quickly got up and decided to leave for he knew Sakura would not be there.

(Sakura)

"I want to go find him"

"hm?" Itachi looked up at her once again

"Please Itachi... can we go find him?" Sakura gave him her puppy eyes, but this only made Itachi raise an eyebrow and look at her funny.

"Fine, just as long as you never make that face again...its creepy"

"hmpf" Sakura crossed her arms

Itachi got up off the chair and motioned for Sakura to follow him, Sakura was only glad to follow him but before she did she had to glare at him and cross her arms.

"My, my what an attitude we have" Itachi smirked

"hmpf" Sakura looked away

"heh" Itachi looked into the trees

"what are you doing?" Sakura saw that his eyes were red

"im looking to see if there is anyone out there"

"oh" Sakura looked around

(Sasuke)

Sasuke was running through the trees on the outskirts of Kohona

"Damn...I didn't find her anywhere" Sasuke glared at any passing tree "I cant give up until I know that she's safe...damn, I also have to warn Kohona..." Sasuke stopped and stared at the clouds that were passing by "should I warn them... they probably wouldn't believe me" Sasuke sighed and started running again "I don't know... ill decide what to do after I find Sakura"

(Sakura)

(After a couple of hours of walking)

"Were are we going?" Sakura asked as she looked around, she didn't recognize it at all

"Sasuke is just up ahead" Itachi smirked, he was kinda excited to meet his brother again, he wanted to know just how much stronger he had gotten in the last couple of years.

"How do you know that?" Sakura looked at him confused

"hes my brother...I can feel him where ever he is"

"oh.." Sakura looked down at the ground "how long until we run into him?"

"Any minute now" Itachi smirked then turned around and grabbed Sakura as he jumped up into a tree.

"What are you doing?" Sakura hissed

"sh... look down there"

just then a huge smile appeared on Sakura's lips

(Sasuke)

Sasuke was now walking around, he was almost out of breath from running at full speed. Just then he heard something up in the tree, when he looked up he saw something pink falling towards him... and before he knew what hit him he found himself on the ground with Sakura on top of him hugging him so tight that he was running out of air.

"S..Sa...Sak...Sakura" Sasuke tried to say "I cant breath"

"oh im sorry" Sakura pulled back a little, but still held onto him tightly

"where were you?" Sasuke looked at her with concern

"oh Sasuke" Sakura threw her arms around his neck again "he found out and he was coming to get me...Orochimaru found out Sasuke... and I was scared...I was scared he was going to hurt you" Sakura was crying into his chest

"wait..." Sasuke pushed Sakura back a little so he could see into her eyes "how did you know Orochimaruwas there?...were you there?"

"No... luckily I was saved before Orochimaru got there" Sakura sniffed

"saved...?...saved by who?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow

"him" Sakura pointed up in the tree

Sasuke looked up to see his brother staring at him with the same red eyes he had, Sasuke jumped up quickly knocking Sakura on the ground. Itachi jumped down and stood in front of Sasuke and smirked.

"What the hell do you want?" Sasuke hissed

"my, my...little brother testy arnt we?" Itachi just smirked

Sakura was sitting on the ground and she decided that she had better just sit and let the two brother talk this on over

"what the hell where you doing with Sakura?" Sasuke yelled

"well little brother, I knew you weren't strong enough to protect her yourself...so I decided I had better do it" Itachi sighed with boredom in his voice

"I don't need your help, I can protect her myself"

"hah" Itachi started laughing "hahaha, thanks its been awhile since I have laughed like that"

"what the hell?"

"Sasuke... you didn't even know she was in danger... if I would have left it up to you ... then she would already be in their hands"

Sasuke growled at Itachi

just then they heard a noise coming from somewhere

BANG

they were all thrown back, Itachi of course landed on his feet with ease, Sasuke caught Sakura before she fell on her head and then landed on his own feet.

"What the hell was that?" Sasuke looked at Itachi

"I don't know" Itachi looked around

then out of the smoke he appeared...

"Orochimaru" Itachi laughed

"Itachi" Orochimaru smirked "how nice to see you again"

(AN- sooooooo, how is it? good...bad?)
