Hey guys! Welcome back :D
Can't believe Im on chapter 8 already – I didn't think the story would last so long! But as long as everybody is enjoying it then I'm happy.
I know majority of you – like myself- are massive fans of the angst and darkness of this story. I have aimed completely to keep this a 'dark' story. But there will be chapters that aren't as dark as others or maybe not dark at all. This is all for a purpose. I wont let Sakura get off easy or even happy for that matter. Please believe in me.
Chapter 8 - Loss
Her green eyes were bearing into his onyx seductively. The way how she was smiling at him, it was obvious; there was no way he could not know. She wanted him. She wanted him badly. 'Itachi…' She had spread herself all across his lap; her lips were edging closer and closer to his. 'I've been waiting…' Sakura was pushing herself onto him. 'Too long…' He was smirking obvious enjoying what was happening. Then she pressed her lips onto his. They were kissing deeply almost as if they were trying to devour each other. Itachis hand had slid down her back going down to…
Sasuke quickly shot up.
Not again. He had woken up with a cold wet on his brow. He had been having the same dream every night. Sakura and Itachi making love. It was driving him to the brink of madness. Where was she? What was Itachi doing with her? Why did he care so much? Why did he care if Sakura was sleeping with his brother? So what if she fell in love with him? Why did the mere thought of it make him want to destroy everything around him?
Itachi… He always had taken everything that ever mattered from him. Once he was an innocent child, but now it was a different playing field. He was a powerful Sharingan user. I will not allow the past to repeat itself. You'll see the power of my hate brother.
It seemed Sakura could never stop having dreams about Sasuke. At this very moment she was having one. She was in his room chained up to the bed; he was walking closer and closer to her. His eyes were in Sharingan mode, he meant to hurt her, he had the most sadistic smile on his face. 'Sakura…' She could see his bright eyes glaring into hers.
'Sakura.' Those frightening red eyes.
'Sasuke! ' She took a deep breath. 'Sorry Itachi.' She held her forehead for a while. Just a dream Sakura. Just a dream.
'Do I really look so similar to Sasuke?' Itachi was standing next to the bed peering over her. Come to think of it, you have only ever referred to me as Sasuke. Itachi didn't really like the thought of that.
'Yes and no. But I was just confused. I was just having a dream.' She let out a big yawn.
'A dream about Sasuke?'
Wow. This guy asks a lot of questions its uncomfortable. 'Yes about Sasuke.' Sakura had suspicions someone had been coming to her room at night. Something about the room was never quite the same in the mornings. She had no idea if Itachi was coming into her rooms at night but her gut feeling told her she was right.
'What are you doing here Itachi? I thought you would have more important things to do.' Itachi's presence had always made her on edge but she was determined not to let it show.
'Is it strange I want to know more about my brother's lover?' He paused for a moment. 'I find it strange you have been so well behaved. I was expecting at least a few breakout attempts.'
What can I say to that? Even though you are the most dangerous criminals on the planet, you treat me better than the father of my child? She let out a depressive sigh.
'Sasuke will come for you.' He was touching her forehead now. 'Sooner or later.' Sakura stayed silent.
'You flinch at the touch of men.' He trailed his fingers down her face. He was so gentle. 'I can see from your reactions that-'
'Enough!' That was a subject strictly not for discussion. Sakura's emotions about Sasuke and the things he had done to her were for her alone, no one else. Especially not the man who had been the initial cause of everything. She should hate him more for what he did.
'Its your fault, the way that Sasuke is.' She didn't even see a reaction out of him for that comment. She had desperately wanted one.
Sitting in her room she started to think about Sasuke again until she felt a hand coming over her mouth. She went to cry out but the sound was muffled by the sound of the hand. Who is it? She heard a voice right by her ear.
'Shhh. Be quiet! They will hear.' She recognised the voice, it was Kabuto!
Sakura couldn't help smiling, Kabuto had come to help her again. If there was one person she could rely on it was him. He slowly removed his hand from her mouth, she responded by giving him a tight hug which he reciprocated. I've really missed you Kabuto. To think you would come all this way to help me. I owe you, yet again.
'Your healthy right, Sakura? They haven't done anything to you?' She shook her head.
'Ah. That's a relief. Stay with me, we are going to get out of here.'
'How did you find me? You shouldn't have come it's not safe for you here. Kisame and Itachi are both here, you won't be able to fight both of them.' I shouldn't be so selfish and think about my own needs, what if Kabuto gets hurt? It will all be my fault.
'I just followed Sasori's trail, it isn't difficult to do, I've been doing it for years. I saw Itachi in town today so I knew I had the right place. I'm just glad your safe, after everything that happened at Sound.' He was looking at her with pleading eyes, she could see the care inside of them. Kabuto…
He had taken her hand and then jumped out of the window holding her safely. I can't see them, everything should be okay… But as soon as she had that thought it was almost as if she had jinxed it. Itachi and Kisame appeared out of nowhere. No! Why?
'No one goes off with our princess.' Kisame had pointed Samehada at both of them. Shit this doesn't look good, Kabuto wont be able to win this fight. I'll need to protect him somehow. I have no jutsu but I'm willing to put my life on the line.
She jumped out of his embrace standing in front of him. 'I wasn't going anywhere! He just came to see if I was okay.'
'Oh princess.' Kisame sighed while Itachi was looking as emotionless as ever. 'You don't need to defend him.' She could feel Kabuto moving something.
Before she had time to even see it Kabuto and Kisame were fighting. He had a kunai in each hand and Kisame was wielding Samehada. Itachi was standing in the distance watching. If Itachi doesn't join in then at least Kabuto stands a fighting chance! Think Sakura what can you do- think!
While she was trying to come up with a plan, she could see that Kabuto had gained the upper hand. He had managed to cut into Kisame vital organs with his medical blade jutsu. She was happier as she first thought the fight would be very one sided. Itachi had closed in on her with his emotionless gaze, grabbing her tightly by the waist pinning her to him. She was struggling to get free while her gaze was stuck on the fight happening between Kabuto and Kisame.
No! Kisame had managed to heal himself from the all the wounds he had suffered by using Samehadas energy. I didn't think such a thing was even possible. It was clear now Kabuto was losing, he had depleted energy and was unable to recover unlike Kisame. 'Just run Kabuto! Run!' She screamed at him. He has enough energy to get away, just go, please just go Kabuto. She wanted to shut her eyes and not look but that would be offensive to Kabuto who had risked everything to rescue her.
But Kabuto wasn't running and it was clear he going to lose. Please God, no. Don't! Kisame don't! She started to panic, how could she help? What could she do? She could only think of one thing appeal to Itachi.
'Itachi. I beg you, I'll do whatever you want. I'll never try to escape just please make him stop. Don't let him die!' She was begging him.
But it was too late Samehada had swung right through Kabuto's body.
She froze transfixed as the blade came out of Kabutos lifeless body. Blood was pouring from every direction. Kisame had let out a monstrous laugh while screaming 'Look! Look at that blood squirting everywhere! Isn't it the prettiest damn picture.'
Kabuto's head made one last movement. 'Sak-' He didn't finish the end of his word.
'Kisame… you shouldn't have killed him.' Itachi was calm as if nothing had happened. He had let go of Sakura.
Its my fault. It's all my fault.
He had come to save her. He had died because he tried to save her – she might as well of killed him herself. Sakura had fallen on the floor and started to slowly crawl away, she tried so hard to get away, dragging herself backwards but the blood was quicker than her. The blood began to soak into her clothes. His blood. The blood was flowing everywhere. It felt as if her very soul was stained with Kabutos blood. It was and it would forever be stained.
She started to cry out. 'He's dead! He's dead!' The wailing was painful for anyone to listen to. 'You killed him! You murderers! You filthy murderers!' From that point onwards she couldn't stop saying his name over and over. She hoped that he would hear her just once, respond to her just once. But he didn't, his body had remained just as lifeless as before.
'Orochimaru may know our location. We are leaving immediately.' Itachi said to Kisame.
Itachi gently began to drag her away from Kabutos body. She stretched out to almost grab it. She couldn't tear her eyes away from Kabuto's broken blood stained glasses.
Guys I am a monster- I killed the lovely Kabuto. What did you think about his death? I wanted to make sure I gave him an interesting send off.
I am very excitied for my next new idea. Just hope that everyone else will like it.
Thank you so much for reading - got some spare time? Review pretty please?
