this chapter is more dialogue than plot.

#rushed work


Darkness consumed the air. it was now 24 hours since sakura had been rendered unconscious by Madara's visual jutsu, Leaving her body numb, weak and vulnerable.

she was now conscious but her body still is unable to move, and her eyes struggled to open. fuck! what happened? she thought to herself trying to recollect what had left her in this state. she tries desperately to open her eyes, but they only squinted narrowly open. Her body, refuses to move despite her attempts. my body's weak, it's so hard to move. she struggles to move her limbs ugh! she grunts inwardly at the process. what happened? I can't remember a th- before she could finish her thought she heard crunching of dry leaves as feet connected with them.

someone was next to her, but who?

"my, my it seems you've awaken." sakura heard a cool and masculine voice say

huh? she thought as the voice caught her attention.

she moves her iris to the side where she heard the voice coming from. "you seemed drained", the voice continued to pointed out. she sees a blurred image, she could only point out the full suit of black and long hair... she knew who it was.

it's...it's... "itachi?" sakura emitted weakly. she tries desperately to move her limbs fearing that her life was in danger, her lingerie riding up her thighs in the process.

itachi notices her struggling. he also notices the lingerie that rode up to her upper thigh...how could he not? he may be a notorious shinobi who possessed a high level of intelligence supported with great physical abilities, but even him had a weakness, that is...he's a 'man'. and all men are vulnerable to the beauty of women no matter how impenetrable they seem, and at this stage, beauty is something that sakura had a lot of.

As she struggles to move sakura felt that she was on dew filled dry grass and leaves, upon that realization she widened her vision as much as possible to scan the area.

grass…

dry leaves…

lots of trees…

forest? she thought.

the cold air seeped through her thin and semi-wet clothing bringing forth lumps on her skin. she could feel the cold air hitting her bare legs, but she spent no time to ponder on her half nakedness, itachi was near her! and she had no idea of his intent. if he plans on killing her, then she was sure as hell not going to make it easy for him, and if he planned on raping her then... ;-)

itachi notices her wondering eyes, he immediately knew that she is trying to figure out where she was, he saw the confusion in her eyes, he saw slight fright, he saw, i dare say...vulnerability. he understands her emotions, her confusion...her fright, and not wanting to make matters worse he decides to provide her with information, "sakura," itachi calls her name like sasuke while rolling the R in her name almost sounding Hispanic. "you're in a forest." itachi confirmed her thoughts. "the numbness and weakness will leave your body soon." itachi advised. "I hope you aren't hurt too badly."

wait, what! he hopes I'm not hurt too badly?!. it almost sounds like he's 'concerned'. she thought.

sakura's vision was still blurred but she could see his movements closing in on her, she no longer struggled to move, his soothing words of concern made her feel as if she was in 'good hands', and for some reason, she no longer felt threatened by his presence.

his eyes pierce at her as if he was an X-ray machine, as if scanning her body both inside and out for something. his intense and fiery gaze felt as if it was burning into her into her skin. for some reason, sakura felt nether afraid or insecure-baring that she is still half naked and semi-wet lingerie—she didn't even feel a sexually lustful vibe coming from him, rather, she felt, I dare say…safe. but she was confused by his concerned and gentle demeanor, so her look of confusion still resided on her face, desperately wanting answers.

"I assure you, I have no intention of hurting you'" itachi spoke to a slowly recovering sakura trying to satisfy her confusion, "believe me when I tell you, I have no idea why got implicated in this 'plot'" itachi emphasized plot with disgust. "I will try my best to ensure that you-" itachi stopped his statement abruptly, his stance stiff, looking like he had heard and enemy crept up on him for the attack.

sakura looks up in wonder at the elder uchiha brother, wondering why he's stopped speaking,

then,

she heard a familiar voice approaching, the words gibberish and incoherent. the voice sounds like itachi but less calm with a slightly lower base to it. sasuke-kun, she thought.

her weak body jolted at the thought.

the younger uchiha makes his way in the clearing of the forest, walking over to itachi who still stares down intensely at sakura. sasuke's expression filled with anger and frustration, but why? was it because she is here? "why does he have to bring her here!" sasuke mutters to himself as his gaze falls down to sakura laying on the leaves. "what does he think he's doing?" the younger uchiha brought his right hand to slap his face. meanwhile, itachi's gaze never leaves sakura, even with the intrusion of sasuke, his eyes 'never left sakura'. why is it so?

"hn." itachi releases annoyed groan at sasuke's childlike behavior. he was never one for hiding certain things, and when it came on to the things that annoyed him he was blunt about it, like right now, he was making it obvious that sakura's presence did annoy him, but for someone who he severed his bonds with...someone who he no longer cared about, she sure as hell had a impact on him to make him feel this annoyed and this frustrated. i wonder why?

sakura's eyes were fully vivid now, though her limbs were still numb, her eyes locked onto sasuke's form, she notices his anger and his frustration as he looks down at her, their eyes making four. like itachi his gaze too in intense as if searching for something. either the gaze of all uchiha men were this intense or they truly were searching for something, if they were searching for something, what were they searching for?

"what did he say?" itachi asks sasuke coolly, suggesting that he was taking about madara.

"nothing." sasuke replied flatly in an irritated tone

"hn." the two groaned in unison

sasuke notices itachi's intense gaze on sakura laying on the forest floor, why is he staring at her that way? sasuke follows itachi's gaze downwards to sakura, oh shit! he notices that she's still in her lingerie, her clothing still wet. he notices how it rode up all the way to her upper thigh and how the wet satin clings to her figure like paint, he had almost gone absent minded admiring her when a thought hit him, is that's what itachi's staring at? her half nakedness? without thinking he impulsively begins his verbal assault, "you shit! you aren't lusting after sakura are you?" sasuke shot itachi seemingly possessive and angry glare.

itachi looks across lazily at his younger brother, as if uninterested. little brother, itachi thought, you've said many times to me before than she means nothing to you, so if that's true, then why are you behaving so...possessive and jealous? could it be that... itachi's thought trailed off and a smirk formed in his mind, he thought why not enjoy tooting sasuke's horn for a bit.

"so, what if I am?" itachi spoke in a 'spiteful tone', then he drops his head back to sakura-she who was fully aware of what is going on around her, her eyes and ears now fully functional, though her body hasn't recovered fully as yet.

"hnn" sasuke releases a rough groan at his brother. you shit!, sasuke thought, you better not be thinking about what i think your thinking about!

itachi sees how the situation is making sasuke uncomfortable, and he's enjoying it. Even though he loves his little brother and wishes nothing but the best for him, something about this situation makes sasuke unease he found humorous.

"if I'm not mistaken, you appear to be jealous…" itachi let the end word drawl for spiteful emphasis.

itachi was enjoying this...way more than he should at that. lol. provoking big brothers...#scoffs

"besides," itachi continued provoking sasuke with a smirk on his face. "I thought you said, you couldn't care less what happens to her, hmm?" damn you itachi! why did you have to say that? sakura is right in front of you, and of course he knew...that's why he said it.

sakura heard itachi.

"I thought you said she means nothing to you?" itachi continues as he smirks inwardly to himself. he had every intention of pushing this game until he got maximum humor, or up until he got bores. Now who ever said that the famous uchiha itachi does not have a sense of humour...they lied.

sakura heard itachi's other comment too.

"I thought you sa-"

"shut up!." sasuke breaks itachi's statement. sasuke is aware that sakura could hear.

a narrow smirk escaped itachi's mouth, he was having fun, he was like a little child causing mischief.

itachi sees the dull look on sakura's face and he knew it was because of the hurtful words he had repeated that sasuke had once spoken. he could see her hurt.

itachi smirks wider, because he knew what he was going to do next,

"well, I'll leave you too alone. it appears she'll be able to move in a minute. I'm sure you too have lots to catch up on" he turns and walks away with a wide smirk on his face. he may be dead, but that doesn't mean he can't 'live a little', indeed he did have fun.

sasuke clenched his teeth and gritted his teeth watching itachi walk away, what a predicament itachi had 'intentionally' left him in. if it wasn't for that stupid 'bone and flesh justu that madara used on us I wou-

sasuke's thought was interrupted when he saw sakura's arms begin to move,

she's moving, sasuke thought

she weakly turns on her left side and pushes herself up in a sitting position, her eyes never meeting sasuke's, she was too hurt, too ashamed...too everything that's bad emotionally right now.

he looks down at her, waiting for her to speak. he knew sakura had always had a temper, but was he going to feel the wrath of it?

"if I mean nothing to you," sakura spoke weakly is she sits upright, her head still spinning from being unconscious, "why am I here?"

sasuke shifts his head slightly to the side, away from her and sighed. "I have no idea," sasuke sound flat and uncaring.

"in that case," sakura attempts to stand, her legs shaking. "I'll be leaving." she attempts to walk away but her shaky limbs gave way and she topples back to the ground landing on her buttocks.

sasuke groaned in frustration, he knew she was stubborn too, and that despite her failed attempts she will not stop.

she begins to attempt again,

"sakura," sasuke's voice firm and demanding

she ignores him

"sakura, why are you on such a…a mission?" sasuke could find no suitable adjective for the role of a seduction mistress. she continues to ignore him… she stands in her still shaky legs."why are you acting as a seduction mistress?" sasuke questions again.

she ignores him. she tries to walk but he falls again.

"what mission could be so important!?" his tone angry, at this point whatever patience he had was now gone.

she still ignores him, she stands again her legs shaking violently, ready to walk when his firm hand grasp her arm in a rough and aggressive manner, "fuck sakura! what mission could be so important to the point that you have no problem with filthy lustful men having their hands all over you?!" sasuke hinting a slight hurt in his voice.

sakura stood still, her eyes looking at an enraged sasuke, enraged for what she didn't know, after all, he was the one that said he didn't care about her. "damn it! sakura tell me!" his voice demanding though gritted teeth as he yanks her closer to his body, only half an inch between them, his tall body towering over her, his eyes burning into her eyes. If she wasn't angry with him right now this particular scene would make her weak in the knees.

sakura knows it makes no sense to continue her attempts, her body isn't up to par yet, not only that, sasuke had a way of getting whatever he wanted, and…if he didn't want to her to leave, then, she wouldn't be leaving. knowing sasuke, if it took force to get what he wanted then so be it, either way, she knows he's not letting her leave until she tells him what he wants to hear.

"fine," she relented "if you must know, the mission was to gather information on the plans that you and madara had. we got credible source that you reanimated itachi, and we wondered why. we thought you have something in mind that would have great negative implications on the village, so we came hear to confirm and find out as much information as possible."

"hn, I see, but why as a 'seduction mistress?" his fingers applied more pressure into her arms as he said those last two words.

"ow, sas…sasuke, you hur-"

"tell me!" sasuke cut off sakura's whimper, his voice almost outraged

"…we heard of you affiliation with Zuryck, we also saw an opportunity to gain Intel by becoming seduction mistresses and we took it." saskura explained

" and you took it?" sasuke asks rhetorically and scoffs. "and you were more than willing to do this?"

sakura looks away embarrassingly,

sasuke knew that look, he knew what it meant. "Course not." sasuke spoke.

sakura shot him a hard glare, "what I do does not concern you, sasuke! you've made it very clear that you do not care about me." sasuke ignores her ranting.

"besides, so what if other men touch me?" she asks rhetorically,

sasuke's teeth clench harder…

"you shouldn't have a problem with that now sasuke." she spoke spitefully. "so what if they feel me…touch me," sasuke's grip got no-blood-circulating tight around her arm, she noticed but she didn't care. "heck, if I even wanted them to fuc-AAHHH!"s akura screamed as sasuke dug his fingers into flesh, producing blood. "s-sas…sasuke, you hurt-"

"hn." sasuke growled angrily.

as much as he didn't want to admit it, he hated the thought of any other man touching her. he made it clear. he stares into her green eyes with a possessive gaze. is he jealous? she thought, no, he could be, right?

"are you jealous, sasuke?" sakura asks with curiosity,

"please," sasuke scoffs. "jealous of what?" he asks rhetorically, "in case you weren't listening to itachi before, I don't care about you." sakura jolted at his words, it was one thing to hear itachi say it but it was a whole new thing to hear sasuke himself say it. "besides, you aren't that much to be jealous over, you aren't that much of a thrill."

he lied.

sakura feeling insulted at his words strengthened her stance, sasuke's hand till gripping into her flesh, she is definitely going to give him a piece of her mind."not that much of a thrill, eh?" she asks rhetorically, "you weren't saying that when I had you all tense and erected last night, hmm?" she gave spiteful gaze,

sasuke's body gave a slight jolt at sakura's rebuttal. shit, he thought, so she did feel my hardness afterall.

"you weren't saying that when your…your…'that'" she used her free hand to point at sasuke's crotch, "…was throbbing against me."

sasuke recalled the event…

"you weren't saying that when you had your hand on my-" she stops abruptly, hoping that he would piece her sentence together

sasuke's eyes narrowed, he wanted her to finish her statement, "on your what?" he coaxed

"her face looks nervous and uneased, "on...on m-my.."

vagina…

pussy…

"down there," she pointed to her own crotch, being inexperienced limited her knowledge to certain things, not that she didn't know the name of her genitalia but she hadn't gotten comfortable with saying it, especially not in front of sasuke. sasuke mused over how uncomfortable she was at saying certain profound words, hilarious, he thought, who's she trying to fool. acting all shy and innocent, there's no way in hell she could not have experience…and there's no way in hell she a virgin. no virgin or inexperienced girl would have such a sexual way with words…to captivate him entirely and make him forget all that's around him. that type of skill takes experience…she not fooling no one.

if only he knew.

"spare me of your pretending," sasuke spoke flatly, "acting so shy like you innocent when we both know your not," he scoffs. "who are you trying to fool!"

"excuse me?" sakura emitted

"don't give me that shit ,sakura! the way you spoke to me last night...the manner i how u spoke it, the way you walked, the way how you teased me, I am 'certain' you are not a virgin" sakura eases back with wide eyes at sasuke's ignorant and knowledge less insults, "…and judging from how skilled you were with your actions and words, I'm assuming that you've fucked 'numerous' men" his voice tinted with jealousy and disgust.

how dare he? sakura thought, what does he know?

"here I thought you would have waited" he looks at her disgustingly

though not true, his words still hurt

"I've thought of you as weak…too emotional, and many other things, sakura" sasuke began, " but, I've never thought of you as a whore, sakura…until now." sakura jolted at sasuke's words. "here i was actually considering you to be the woman to make my heirs, but after seeing your true colours i don't see you as fit to bare my children" sasuke's voice filled with disgust, " as a matter of fact," sasuke continues his assault, "i don't see you as fit to become any man's wife at that. you disgust me!" sasuke releases sakura's arm and turns his back towards her, ready to walk away from her. "the sooner madara makes you leave the better it will be for me. 'whore' ". sasuke walks away from the forest clearing to the tree filled forest vanishing between the high and low branches in the dark night...leaving sakura behind, Like he always had before.


In Konoha

the most important of konoha shinobi gather up; naruto, neji, shikamaru, chouji, kiba, shino, ino, ten-ten, lee, hinata, kakashi, guy sensei, tsunade, shizuna and everyone in the konoha shinobi unit trying desperately to conceive of ways to return the loved kunoichi to her village without bringing the wrath of madara by upsetting him.

now how can they take from an uchiha something that he clearly wants to possess...without upsetting him in the process? the answer is simple...

"there is no way that we can go abbout this and not upset him." shikamaru states. "our aim is to get back sakura, his aim is to keep her for whatever reason, there is no way that we going about this retrieval mission will not upset him. we are simply looking to take away something that he wants. if we go after sakura it has to be an all-out retrieval mission, not one nor two ANBU or shinobi will do...he will simply get rid of us all too easily. we will have to use the entire unit."

shikamaru is indeed correct, not one or two shinobi will do...they need a large amount if they paln on being effective. but using the entire unit does have its consequences...

"now how we use an entire unit for a retreival mission for just one individual? leaving the village open, vulnerable and unprotected?" a shinobi in the crowd of shinobis shouted. "i say we leave her..."

naruto desperately searches the crowd to locate the face behind the voice, his rage pulsing through his body

"...we all know she is loved, but we have to understand this this type of mission is too risky for the villgae? you know how many enemies to wants to see us with a weak opening so they can make their way at us...at our families..."

naruto's eyes still search, looking for him...

"...as a shinobi she know's it's her job to sacrifice for the sake of the village...i'm sure she will understand if we don't-"

"found yah!" in a flash naruto was up on the shinobi cutting off his speech... groping his uniform vest, the now visible shinobi with short blue hair and onyx eyes looks onto narrow with distraught eyes.

"i-i-"

"SHUT UP!" naruto curses at the shinobi, "you are speaking so recklessly because you don't know sakura, if you did...you would choose your words more carefully, if you did you would willingly leave the village defenseless just to have her back! you only know of the work sakura has done, you know not of her personality...if you even knew how far she went just to ensure the safety of you...the safety+ of your family... the uncomfortable things she had to endure so as to make sure that the village is out of harms way...then you would shut your mouth. she is important to all of us...she is important to me..."

"is that so?" the shinobi rhetorically asks a sinful smirk on his face

"what's the smirk for? you think this is funny" naruto continues to curse...

"you are such a hypocrite." the shinobi states blankly and straightforwardly...at naruto.

"eh? wha-"

"you claim she is important to you eh?" the shinobi cuts into naruto's question. "we all know of the seduction mistress mision they were sent on, they meaning sakura, hinata, ino and ten-ten..."

ino, hinata and ten-ten jolted at the words of the shinobi, how did he know? they each thought. they each turned their head to tsunade who was across from them, she knew what they were going to ask...

...

"how did you kno-"

"tsunade told us...right before you guys came in, now she didn't exactly tell us what they did on the mission but i'm sure if you take the operative words out of what she told us, seduction...mistress" the shinobi drawled the two words, "i'm sure we 'all'can quess what they did..." his smirk increased

naruto's groping tightened roughly...

"but that's the point I'm trying to make, back when the three of you came off your mission after the girls had left for their mission, i noticed how the three of you seemed so out of it...i wondered why, but was unable to conclude any ideas until now, lady hokage told us about their mission, i was able to piece together little clues...you three were worried about each of your girl being fucked by another man." the shinobis's smirk increased, "when you, neji and shikmaru headed off to the cloud to get the girls back...your only intention was to make sure that hinata..." she shinobi shouted so that everyone could hear, "...didn't give herself to another man...you could carel ess of sakura and who she gave herself to, the same goes for the other two; neji who went after ino and shimakru who went after ten-ten...none of you had sakura in thought..."

neji, shikamaru and naruto's faces all turned sour, their teeth gritting to bite back anger...

but bite back anger at who? the shinobi or themselves?

the shinobi was indeed correct.

he's right, naruto thought. i was only thinking about hinata and not sakura...sakura did not even once cross my mind...everyone else has someone behind them except her. as her freind i should have been there for her, not only hinata. if something ever happens to her i'll...

"so please don't harass me about my priorities...you made it clear that the hyuuga was your priority, now i am making it clear that the village is my priority." his spiteful smirk now transformed into as grin...

"listen here you shit! i-"

"stop it, naruto!" kakahi entered to stop the feud. "i know your upset, but he does make a valuable point."

"you mean about me ignor-"

"not about that, but about leaving the village defenseless" kakashi added

"so are you saying that we leave sakura alone with madara so he can do whatever he wants with her?" naruto fumed at kakashi as his hands unknowingly released the shinobi's vest.

"no." kakashi stated dryly. "what i'm proposing is that, i along with the hokage and shizuna and the konaha 11 try to retrieve sakura, while we leave the rest of the shinobi unit to protect the village. it is the fairest way to go as i see it."

he does have a point, Naruto thought.

"fine, anything you say." naruto relented

"good." kakashi stated. "everyone, you may leave except for ino, ten-ten, hinata, chouji, kiba, shino, shikamru, neji, lee snd shizuna.

"hai," the shinobi unit spoke in unison as they marched out of the training ground.

...

thirty minutes later, the crowd now gone from the field.

"ok, their all gone," kakashi spoke to the chosen individuals. "we'll start this mission tomorrow. let's go back to the cloud village and try to find and clues that will help us to determine in what direction they went, or better, clues that will tell us why they took sakura."

"hai." they all spoke in unison.

"we leave early tomorrow," shizuna spoke, "go home and get some rest. don't worry we'll get her back."

"i hope so." hinata spoke lowly to herself.

they each make their way out of the field except naruto who still stood still lookinf like he was in deep contemplative thought...

sasuke, naruto thought, i hope you make sure that she's okay. i know you say you we don't mean anything to you, but i beg you...do not hurt you...protect her, for old time sake. please...

"hey, naruto are you coming?" ino shouted

"yeah, be right there..." naruto shouted back.

please sasuke...i beg you...


sakura still stood in place, right where sasuke had left her all alone. still unable to move, not because of madara's jutsu but because of sasuke's crippling words

whore

Whore

Whore

WHORE

WHORE

WHORE

if only you knew how patiently and loyally i have been waiting for you,...if only you knew. that promise i made in front of ino and the others before going to the cloud village about not caring about you anymore was suddenly cast aside when i saw your face...i couldn't help. i'm undeniable in love with you sasuke-kun! no matter how much i try to fight it...to hide it it still seeps through the cracks. i guess i'm not fooling anyone but myself... sasuke hate me if you want to, but please do not call me a whore...i haven't given myself to anyone, and when i almost did...it was unknowingly to you...

pink locks clung to her face, her face scarred with dirt, with her still wet lingerie. she had to get out of it soon.

tears cornered in her eyes, her eyes narrowed to keep them from running, she was weak...weak for sasuke, but she wasn't going to let him see that easily.

why is it that sasuke refuses to let her in?

why does he constantly belittles her?

why?

why?

...

her fingers closed in a fist restricting the blood in palm, sakura was so consumed by her own thoughts that she hadn't noticed that itachi had come into the clearing of the forest,...

je just stood and observed, he knew her reaction had something to do with sauke...in one way or another he had hurt her...

"sakura," itachi spoke in a cool voice, something he was/is well know for, aware of itachi's presence, she slowly widens her eyes...

"itachi?" sakura replies. not wanting her to feel insecure about the distraught emotional state she is in he turns his head away from her pretending that he saw nothing...but sakura knew he saw. she had heard of his greatness, there is no way such a thing would go unnoticed by the great uchiha itachi.

"two miles from here...there is village with a inn, we will stay there for the night, or at least until madara says we're to stay. i will carry you...your chakra is still not sufficiently replenished, please if you may..." he signaled to her to get into his arms...his head still turned away from her...

he was giving her time to get herself together.

...

her eyes now dried, she walks close to itachi, ready to climb into his arms to be carried...

"...and sasuke?" sakura questions

itachi still does not look onto her face even thought she is in his arms, "i spoke to him earlier. he knows of out plans and the inn. he will meet us there." itachi concluded. sakura settles herself into itachi's arms and against his chest, "bare with my speed, i want to reach in the next 25 minutes. the sooner we reach, the sooner you can get something to eat and clean yourself."

why is he being so nice to her?


Zuryck's office

madara enters zuryck's meeting room, well, more like barges in.

his eyes filled with anger, this is not good...for zuryck at least, the well dressed man knew so. zuryck knew not of what made madara so upset, but it appeared that he had a part to play in it...

"zuryck, care to explain how i got KUNOICHIS as seduction mistresses?!" anger evident in madara's voice

"kunoichis?" zuryck questions as if unfamiliar with the term for female shinobis "i'm afraid i don't follow" he seemed gebuinley oblivious to what was happening...

"you shit!" madara exclaimed sounding like sasuke, "those mistresses that you got us they are female ninjas from the leave village!"

zuryck flinched at madara's words, "i-i"

"shut up." madara's voice blank, sounding like his anger is gone, "judging from your reaction i can assume that you didn't know, so i have no reason to assume that were not attempting to double cross me"

madara sighed

"but we still have a problem, we have to work fast! zuryck how far along are you with your link"

"um...four weeks."

"no good. we need 'them' in two weeks"

"but madara, thats imp-"

"shut up! your carelessness caused this, i am positive that the kunoichis will inform the current hokage of whatever information they got on their mission, and knowing the leaf they are conceiving of ways to advance at us...even though the leaf is not my aim, al least not yet. their attack will only hinder my plans"

what is madara's plan?

what-who does he mean by 'them'?

"you have two weeks to get them all! after that kabuto will take it from there, if you fail me..." madara's sentence trailed off, "...your wife and daughter will be-"

"i won't fail you, madara" zuryck cut off madara's sentence not wanting to hear the ending of it.

a smirk developed on madara's face

"i sure hope so, for their sake" madara turned his back to zuryck aiming towards the exit. "until we meet again..."

"w...whhere are you going?" zuryck questions filled with curiosity

"lets just say, there is a certain pink-haired kunoichi i'd like to 'tend' to" the smirk on madara's face now a wide grin. "unitil we meet again.

...

madara left zuryck puzzled, pink-haired? wait! it hit him, does he mean the pink haired girl that came in with the others? WHAT DOES HE PLAN ON DOING TO HER?


sakura settles herself in her room, beautiful and spacious, filled with all the luxurious amenities that money could buy, only the wealthy could afford a room like this. sakura did not want to know what the uchihas had done to get rooms in this inn let alone this luxurious room. they used the same technique on the owner of this inn that they used on the owner of the inn in the cloud village where they had left karin.

she looks on the clothes itachi had gotten her, it looked similar to the clothes she'd regularly wear outside of her shinobi uniform, a black tights that looks like it fits to her mid-thigh and a sleeveless blouse that is pure white and a white skirt with splits on each side mounting up to her upper thigh... almost the same design as before without the pink and her famous sign...

but how did itachi know this is the design of the clothes she normally wore, unless...

"he's been watching me?" sakura spoke lowly to herself,

"yes."

"sakura head snapped up as she heard itachi's voice coming from the crease of the door...

"why?" she questions as itachi eases the door open,

"you were my brother's teammate weren't you?" itachi asks rhetorically, "the first time i saw you was in a picture of sasuke's team when i went to visit the uchiha compound, and while going home i happened to come across you sleeping in your room..."

sakura looks on, not satisfied with itachi's explanation...

"before sasuke left the village, whenever i could i would go and look to see how well he was doing. you and naruto being his teammate you two were around him a lot, so thats how i saw you. at that time though, you wore a dress, i believe."

sakura nodded.

"before i died and after sasuke left i occasionally went back to the village to gather information on the village's intentions towards sasuke seeing that he is a missing nin and s class criminal,..."

oh i see, sakura thought, protecting his little brother at all costs...

"the first time i went back after he left, i happened to saw you...your clothes had changed and your hair grew out a little. i believe you were in the market place, healing the small injury of the boy who fell while playing with his friends. i thought how lucky my brother is to have someone so...pure hearted, talented and...beautiful to love him"

sakura blushed at itachi's words, oh i see, sakura thought, so that's the reason why he was staring at me so intensely before? she questions rhetorically

"after that, " itachi stood at the door in his black attire, "whenever i went back to the village i would go out of my way to ensure that i see you, even if from the shadows. seeing you and naruto gives me hope that my foolish little brother has a future...he has people to go back to, something i never had."

sakura looks on itachi

"please don't mistake my actions for lust nor attraction, i see you only for my little brother, i believe that you may one day bring him happiness, and for the sake of my brother's potential happiness...i will vow to ensure your safety." itachi's eyes look straight into sakura's eyes, showing his sincerity, "the bathing room is through the pale green door, you've been in that clothes since last night, you've also been drenched and dirtied, i'm sure you really want to have a shower. i will leave you to it."

itachi spoke his final words as he vanished from the crease if the room door closing it behind him.

i will bring him happiness? sakura thought. what does he mean? sasuke cannot even stand me...he hates me. not only that, he believes i'm a whore. how could i possibly bring him happiness?


sakura stood completely unclothed in the shower, cold water beating onto her sore muscles, she brushes a way the dirt , sasuke, she thought, how can i bring you happiness? how?

*creak*

sakura hears the door of the room creaking open, she knows that chakra signature...

it's not itachi, she thought

it's not...sasuke...

it's mad-

without finishing her thought sakura hurriedly reaches for the towel, she quickly makes her first step out of the shower...as soon as she looks up...

"madara..." fear filled her eyes never had she thought she'd be so crippled with fear

...

the famous uchiha smirk appeared on madara's face, he sees her fear and that thrills him. "you who were once filled with so much rebuttals, why have suddenly become so silent?"

"uh...uh..." sakura stutters," why are you here? in this room? in-"

"your bathing room?" madara finished sakura's questions

madara smirk changed to a grin, his teeth now showing his teeth, "i must say, kunoichis of this generation possess great beauty, i am most impressed" his grin still showing,

she was paralyzed with fear.

his eyes look piercingly at sakura, his crimson eyes locking themselves on her wet body wrapped with white towel

(why won't she move? fight? anything... just do something!)

his intentions seemingly clear, does he plan on taking her now?

the towel will be all too easy for him to remove.

he walks up to sakura...she has nowhere to go, she is already at her limit...the shower door. madara nears sakura his body only a inch away from her, still wearing his grin. he looks down into her green eyes

"you are indeed beautiful, "madrara raises his right hand to sakura's face, holding her chin firmly, looking at her admiringly, "your body..." he trailed off.

sakura twitches at the contact...

his grin now a wide laugh...

(fuck, sakura move...move!)

sakura is almost sure of what he's going to do, oh god! he's going to rape me, she thought.

"this kind of contact seems new to you?" madara asks rhetorically, "you know, this is exactly how the browned haired one was behaving when i held her...it appears to me that both you and her are untouched..."

sakura flinched at the sound of amusement in madara's voice

madara noticed. his speculations are proven to be true

"i'm beginning to assume that all for of you are...pure" his laugh now showing teeth. "...perfect, i assure you ... you definitely will be enjoyed..." madrara spoke as he trails his hand along her neckline...

his fingers stop at the top of her towel that rests atop of her breast mounds...
