Akatsuki's Little Girl
Chapter 9: Taken
The suns rays beat down on the two figures as they walked towards the gate. It was hot out and both felt like they were sweating buckets. The heat was like scolding hot coals burning into the skin, obviously not pleasant.
Sakura looked up into the sky and sighed as she saw the gates come into view. Even though this weather wasn't exactly pleasant, it was an improvement than her usual rainy days. It always rained in Rain, hence the name. Sakura though knew why it rained all the time, her father had a special jutsu on the village so he could track who comes in and out of the village. And since the village is named Rain and has been exclusive ever since recently, therefore no one suspects anything.
The pinkette was going home; away from the sun. Away from the citizens of Konoha, away from romantic outings with her boy friend; and away from Sasuke. Sakura honestly had no clue how they were going to have a long distance relationship; she only knew that it had to happen. She couldn't give up one of the best things that ever happened in her life, she just couldn't.
Before Sakura and Sasuke could get to the gates a yellow blur ran into Sakura head-on. "Sakura-chan!!!" Sakura sighed.
"Hey Naruto." She patted his head as she pushed him off and leapt to her feet.
Naruto had the usual goofy grin on his face that showed that his personality was easy-going. He was bouncing on his feet as he looked behind him. "C'mon baachan!!! I want you to meet Sakura-chan!!" he exclaimed with a slight whine followed by a growl of annoyance.
Sakura looked into the distance to see Jiraiya and someone else walking towards them. The woman had blond hair tied into two ponytails and the most noticeable thing about her was her huge breasts. A tingle in the back of the mind told her that she had seen this person before, whether in person or in a picture she didn't know. Looking further she saw another woman in a green kimono walking on the blonde's heals with a pig in her hands.
"Baka, I told you not to call me baachan." The woman glared angrily at the obnoxious blonde.
Naruto chuckled sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck. He didn't make any promises of stopping the name calling. "Tsunade-baachan this is Sakura-chan and Sasuke." He motioned to his friends.
Tsunade huffed. "Uchiha and…?" she crossed her arms over her large chest, causing Jiraiya to ogle for she pushed them together more than usual.
"Nagato." Sakura swiftly said and Jiraiya's and Tsunade's eyes flashed. "I'm from Rain." Sakura said in response to their expressions.
"Enough with introductions…" Naruto rolled his eyes but than an alarmed look came on. "Oh! I forgot! This here is Shizune and her pet pig Tonton." He pointed to the girl who had moved to stand beside Tsunade. "Anyways, Tsunade here is going to be the fifth Hokage!" Naruto grinned widely.
Sakura looked at Tsunade and than she remembered. She was one of the legendary-sannin, now Sakura had met all three of them. "Is she going to heal Kakashi?" Sasuke asked suddenly. Kakashi had been put under Itachi's genjutsu and had been KO since. Sakura of course knew how to heal him, but decided not to for risk of getting herself revealed as one of the most feared organizations daughters; not like that's a big deal or anything.
"Of course!" Naruto exclaimed. "We were just leading her to the hospital." He grinned.
"Ah, I was just escorting Sakura out of the village. She's heading home today." Sasuke stoically stated.
"She's going to go all the way to Rain by herself?" Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.
"I've done it before." Sakura said and winced when she remembered how well that went. Let's not forget her ugly encounter with Orochimaru.
"You got lucky. This time…you never know."
A moment of silence came upon them. "I'll take her." Sasuke volunteered, seeing it as an opportunity to spend more time with Sakura.
Jiraiya stared at Sasuke. "You can't go by yourself…"
"I'll go with him!!!" Naruto put on a goofy grin.
"No." Sakura and Jiraiya said at the same time, they glanced at each other. Sakura said no for the reason of him being too close to Akatsuki and him getting killed. She would never forgive herself if that happened. But…why did Jiraiya say no? "I'm fine, I can go by myself." Sakura clenched her teeth slightly. She didn't want anyone in danger, at all.
"But you won't."
Sakura, Sasuke and Jiraiya walked on the path that leads them to their destination. It had been several hours since they had left Konoha, with a whining Naruto complaining why he couldn't go. But it was for the better that he didn't.
(Skips through nonsense that all of you don't want to read, trust me.)
They were practically out of fire when night came upon them. "We should stay in a near village." Jiraiya gruffly spoke through a yawn. "I want to sleep in a bed…" he muttered.
As he walked ahead Sakura and Sasuke fell behind and let the darkness cover them as their hands entwined. They didn't want Jiraiya saying anything about them being together so they had kept their distance.
"Thanks for coming…" Sakura whispered lowly, a soft noise in the wind.
"I couldn't have you alone with that pervert." His voice was just as low and smooth as he squeezed her hand.
"I'm going to miss you."
"Me too."
Ten minutes later they were in a small town and heading into an inn. "Two rooms please." Jiraiya said as he placed money on the table. "One for the young lady; and one for the guys." Jiraiya added as a side note, though he was sure the receptionist didn't care.
They walked up to their rooms after receiving their keys and Jiraiya opened his door before tossing Sakura hers. Jiraiya walked into the room, leaving Sakura and Sasuke alone out in the hallway.
"Goodnight Sasuke." Sakura gave him a small smile before opening her door. Before she could step in Sasuke had grabbed her arm and pulled her into a deep kiss. After a couple of seconds he pulled away.
"Sweet dreams, Sakura." He smirked and disappeared behind his door.
A small smile crept onto Sakura's face as she stood in the hallway. She put her hand on her lips before sighing, and walking into her room.
Sakura tensed when she felt a cold gush of wind hit her bare leg. She could've sworn she closed that window before going to sleep, why was it open now? Feigning sleep Sakura listened for any noises that would alert her to an intruder, or the mere fact that she forgot to close the window. A floor board creaked and Sakura tensed even more.
Someone was in her room, someone once she focused with an unfamiliar chakra signature. Or was it? It seemed…familiar. Just a little. Than there was another one. Her thought raced a she though of a course of action.
When she felt a hand moving to grab her wrist she lashed out her arm and grabbed the hand, snapping and breaking it. A hiss of pain was heard and Sakura's eyes opened and she tried to roll off the bed but saw the other intruder waiting for her there. With a gasp she was pinned onto her back and her wrists pulled tightly together and tied with ninja wire. So tight that it cut into her wrists and she felt the skin breaking and blood drip onto the sheets underneath her.
"Bitch." Sakura guessed the man who she broke their wrist cursed at her. He pulled her roughly by the hair and slammed her head into the wall. Brief cry escaped her mouth as she tried to pull her wrist apart. She was going to put up fight, because she was being kidnapped. She knew that she had a better chance escaping now more than ever. Who knows what would happen to her after she got to wherever she was going to be held.
Sakura was pulled away from the wall and a hand was placed on her mouth to stop her from yelling for help. Sakura growled as she bit down hard on the hand and waited as the copper taste came into her mouth and the hand was abruptly pulled away. In another moment she was slapped and the blood flew from her mouth and splattered onto the wall. She coughed as some went down her throat. With quick thinking she rolled away from her attackers and used her wind chakra to break her restraints.
Blood flowed from where the wire cut into her wrist and dripped onto the ground. Sakura took a defensive stance as the men came towards her. She looked at one and gasped when she realized who it was. "Princess…" He drawled with a sinister smirk.
Than he threw a weapon at her, it looked like a shuriken in the dim light coming from the moon outside. Sakura tried to dodge but they were in such a small space that it cut into her right thigh leaving a large gash; causing more blood to drip to the floor.
"What do you want…?" Sakura growled as she dodged another weapon but it put a gash on her left arm.
The man she had met at the Chunin exams smirked. "Why, you of course." He threw several weapons at her and her eyes widened. Throwing her bleeding and strained arms in front of her she focused wind chakra and blew them away; straight at the mans partner in crime. A sickening gurgling noise came from the corner of the room and Sakura saw that a kunai had lodged itself into his throat and killed him on the spot.
"That wasn't very nice." The other man hissed as he launched at Sakura. He punched her straight in the stomach and Sakura coughed up blood from the intense hit. In that split second of weakness he flipped her onto her stomach and climbed onto her back. Blood mixed with spit drooled out of mouth as her face was pressed onto the hardwood floor. "We have to make a scene for your little friends, don't we?" an evil chuckle came from her captor as he pulled her right arm forcibly to him and she felt a sharp hot pain run down her arm as he ran a weapon in her flesh.
A muffled cry came from Sakura and her head was pushed harder into the floor to shut her up. Than a ripping sound was heard as her captor ripped her tank top off, leaving her in only her fishnet shirt and black sports bra. He than cut strands of hair from her head and rubbed them on her arm, to get them soaked in blood.
The man pulled her arms together and tied her wrists tightly together, this time with chakra so she couldn't get rid of it. Than he lifted her up by the arms and hit her face so hard that more blood came out because she had bitten her cheek by accident. The blood splattered onto the bed sheets. The white bed sheets. Sakura whimpered as the man pulled a gag tightly around her mouth to keep her from screaming; why hadn't she done that before? Sakura looked at her captor and her eyes widened when his hand came down hard on her head, rendering her unconscious.
Sasuke woke up as the door to the bathroom opened and Jiraiya walked out. He had recently just taken a shower. "Good morning, little brat." Jiraiya muttered as he walked towards the door that led out of the room.
The Uchiha scowled at him. "I am not a brat, old pervert." Jiraiya grunted and glared in return.
"I'm going to go wake up Sakura." Sasuke grunted in recognition of what he said and stood up. He stretched his limps and let out a yawn. Sasuke had had the weirdest dream. It was of some banging noises coming from Sakura's room and Itachi was killing her, like he killed everyone else important to Sasuke.
This thought had Sasuke bubbling with rage and his eyes flashing red. But he knew Sakura was okay, she was in the next room, perfectly fine. His eyes turned back to normal just as he heard a single curse word fly out of Jiraiya's mouth. "Fuck." Did Sakura kick him for waking her up? Probably, Sasuke walked out of the room and down the hall a little bit before coming in front of Sakura's. The door was slightly open and an odor of blood came from it. Maybe she broke his nose?
Sasuke stepped into the room and stood there shocked. What the hell? There was blood, everywhere, just like that night. The night where Itachi had destroyed his life, he couldn't have killed Sakura, could he? Was it revenge for Sakura interfering? Or was it another way to destroy Sasuke? No, Sasuke would've sensed the menacing chakra from a mile away.
His eyes narrowed and the Sharingan activated. Blood was on the wall, floor, bed sheets, and in the corner of the room by the bed was a dead body. Sasuke showed a small smirk at the thought of Sakura killing one of her attackers…but where was she? "She's not dead." Jiraiya confirmed.
"Then where is she?" Sasuke's voice was low and dark.
"I think she was kidnapped…by Rain Nin; from her own village…"
Sakura awoke to pain. Her body felt on fire and her muscles were tense; waiting to defend herself. Though she soon found out that wasn't possible, for she was bound to a chair. Sakura even felt the chakra woven through the metal restraints and knew that escaping wasn't going to be easy. Letting out a shaky breath she looked around the room, but couldn't see much. There was a dim light just above her head and all she could was concrete walls and a metal high-security door.
Her room held a musty and old smell full of dampness, and death. It had a shiver running down her spine and her breath increasing. Where was she? All she remembered was that mist ninja and than…he cut her and made her bleed. What were his plans? Was she going to die?
With a shaky breath she closed her eyes to keep herself from crying. That's when the door creaked open, shining a bright light into the dim lit room. "Princess…" Sakura cringed at the familiar voice. "My name is Oboro. My team mates are Mubi, and Kagara." He stepped further into the room, followed by two grungy looking characters; just as shady looking as their supposed leader.
"What do you want?" her voice came out stronger than she would have guessed and it gave her a little boost of confidence. She wasn't going to wallow in her own self pity.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Oboro sneered as he walked over to her, bending down and making his face only mere inches away from hers. Sakura pulled back her head as far she could; try to make as much distance between them as possible.
"Actually I would like you to step away. Now." She hissed between her teeth.
Oboro scowled and moved his face closer. "This is the reason you are here. To be taught a lesson; Princess. Always getting what you want? Ordering people around? Who do you think you are?" his hand reached out for her hair and he pushed some behind her ear before pulling hard on it, making her give out a shocked cry. "Oh yes. You are Akatsuki. Great and powerful, ne? You think one day you will rule the world; don't you?" he stepped back.
"I do not wish to rule the world." Sakura shot at him with a menacing glare.
"Really?" Oboro snorted. "That's why you work undercover, gain trust from the Kyuubi and his companions? Not to in the end take the demon inside of him? That's a lie. And this; will be one way of punishing you. Taking away what you've worked up with them. Not to mention it will be fun to torture you, hear you plead for help as blood drains from you. Of course Mubi will heal you every now and than so you don't die; right away anyway. Then we will send you back; dead or alive; to your home with Akatsuki…as a message. A message that says 'do not underestimate us'."
"You're a sick bastard." Was all Sakura could say as she spit at Oboro. The spit landed on his shoe and he glared at her.
A hand landed down on her face and left an angry red mark. "Do not talk to me like that; girl." Oboro hissed and kneed her in the stomach. She spit up a string of blood and her breath shook. Cruel laughs were heard from Mubi and Kagara.
"We will also be asking questions, which you will answer."
"Like hell will I answer any questions asked by you sons of bitches." Sakura hissed as blood dripped down her chin and onto her top; which was just her fishnet shirt and sports bra (remember the tank top was ripped off).
"That's what you say now. But soon Princess, you will be in so much pain; you'll answer the questions. Trust me." Oboro smugly spoke and within seconds Sakura found her world going black.

The world came into focus and Sakura squinted at the blurry figure before her. He looked familiar, maybe it was Sasuke or Naruto? But as her vision cleared she frowned when she saw the Rain hitaite. "Ah, your awake." A smirk appeared on his face as he gazed at her.
"Fuck off." Sakura hissed, realizing everything that was going on.
"Your words mean nothing to me. Unless you tell me something important about the Akatsuki." Oboro sneered.
"Like about how they are going to kill you? Slow and painful?"
"Silly girl, they can't kill us. We have sound on our side." He chuckled evilly.
Sakura stared at him, hard and long. "You think they cans top Akatsuki? They can stop all of the powerful kekkei genkai in Akatsuki?!" she growled in his face. "You have no idea what you are up against."
Oboro shrugged. "Maybe you have no idea what you're up against?" he moved her shirt over to reveal her curse seal. "Orochimaru marked you, he's from Sound. He's the leader of Sound. Someone as powerful as him simply can not be defeated." He explained with such confidence and pride. It was funny that he had been fed those words, words from Orochimaru that he could in fact defeat Akatsuki. Quite pathetic actually.
"Think what you must."
The Rain ninja glared. "Listen you little brat. I control your life right now. If you talk to me in such a manner, I will kill you." he threatened with a sharp tone in his voice.
"Then do it. Kill me. Now." Sakura challenged him and gave him an unwavering stare, one that Itachi would surely be proud of. So void of emotion, it was incredible.
"You're too valuable at the moment." Oboro paused before he said that. Sakura snorted. "Now, answer some of my questions. "What does Akatsuki plan to do with the demons?"
Sakura stared at him, not saying a word. A couple minutes passed before she was slapped. "Answer the question." Silence filled the room. Oboro gritted his teeth as he pulled out a kunai. "Answer or I will cut you…" he growled and Sakura sent him a glare.
"Never." She whispered lowly.
"Fine." He moved around her and positioned the kunai over her left arm. He started carving out words. A scream bubbled to Sakura's lips as he pushed his chakra through the kunai and into her blood stream, causing her unbearable pain. Her whole body was on fire and her breaths came out shallow and she thrashed around. It was as if something was invading her body, unwelcomed; which was basically what was happening.
