Akatsuki's Little Girl

Chapter 10: Found

Waking up from being under was not the best thing to happen to Sakura. She wished she was still in her world of black and that the aches and pains would go away. Her arm was most definitely infected from the carving with the kunai, blood crusted it painfully and Sakura looked down at the wound. It spelled out Akatsuki Princess. That was inflicted a couple of days before, and every time she looks at it she remembers the pain.

Everyday since she was brought there Oboro would come into her cell and question her. These questions always revolved around Akatsuki. Such as what are their intentions, where their bases are, and secrets about their bloodlines. Sakura never told him anything and would just tell him he would have to kill her because she was never going to tell him anything. But every time this happened he would just injure her further, and she would scream.

Sakura let out a sob as she remembered one thing that had happened to her. Oboro did something so cruel that it was just painful to think about it. He raped Sakura, took away her innocence. Oboro thought that then Sakura would give in, but she didn't. She would never betray the people she loved, and would give anything, even her own life, to protect those she cares about.

Even though she let it happen, she couldn't help mourn over her loss. Something that she was supposed to give away; was taken brutally from her. It just didn't seem fair. Thankfully though, no matter how stupid this was, Sakura's captors let her out of the chair, and didn't shackle her to a wall. She could move freely around her cell and wait for a certain time to come to get some water and bread. The water always had a metallic taste and the bread was stale, but it was keeping her alive.

Sakura needed to build up her strength and escape; she had been planning this escape since she arrived. The cell she was in had chakra surrounding it and constantly protecting it. She couldn't break through it because it was that strong, but she heard about this kind of thing before.

Whenever there is a chakra barrier there has to be a week point. A place where the chakra isn't as strong and Sakura believed that was her ticket out of there. With a painful movement Sakura pushed off the wall and scanned the room with her eyes. She had to escape today, or she was afraid she wouldn't make it out alive.

Sakura had lost a lot of blood and her chakra wasn't in the greatest shape either. She had to get home and get some treatment. Heavy breaths came from Sakura as she walked around the cell, feeling the walls and knocking on them. Trying to find a hollow area, where chakra couldn't be strong. After maybe a half an hour of searching she found a spot. A small knock with little chakra involved crumbled the wall slightly and Sakura couldn't help but smirk, may it be bloody or not.

Being careful she continued to punch the wall, little bits falling. She didn't care that her knuckles were a bloody mess, because she was so close to freedom. Adrenaline rushed to her as she felt the wall thinning and soon enough she could see through it. Her heart pounded in her chest as she made a move to make it bigger, big enough for her to fit in anyway.

After another ten minutes Sakura crawled through the hole with great joy and started running down a narrow hallway with dull lights. After a minute of running and navigating through the hallways she started to hear shouts from behind her, they were coming for her. Her adrenaline rush allowed her to speed up and she felt someone just behind her, she was abruptly pulled back by her hair and she let out a cry of pain.

Her leg blindly flew out in an attempt to hit her attacker and she was surprised to find out it hit its mark; the man's groin. With that she dashed off again, towards her freedom. Sakura was having trouble finding an exit so she started punching her way through walls, she had more chakra then she had thought.

Sasuke stopped jumping and Jiraiya paused as well. "Did you hear that?" Sasuke asked as he looked at Jiraiya. He had heavy bags under his eyes from the lack of sleep he got. He was so worried about Sakura.

"Yeah…sounded like an explosion." Jiraiya said thoughtfully and Sasuke smirked.

"Sounds like Sakura." With that he sped off in the direction the noise came from, Jiraiya followed with a confused expression.

Sakura's heart pounded as her eyes started to feel heavy and her adrenaline rush was wearing out, she had made it out…but what now? They were following her and she didn't even know where she was. She was lost, and just wanted to go home. She came into a small clearing and gulped down fresh air. She walked over to a tree and slid down the trunk.

She was too tired to go on, if they found her, then so be it. At least she tried. But right now…all she wanted to do was rest.

Sasuke scanned the area with his eyes and he felt a spike of something. With narrowed eyes he charged forward and into a clearing, his eyes widened at what he saw.

Sakura was lying against a tree trunk, looking broken. Her clothes were tattered and she had blood covering her. You could see the bruises on her legs and arms and she was cut on her arms. Her hair was cut awkwardly and Sasuke's heart went out to her. "Sakura…" he whispered as he rushed forward. Jiraiya watched him cautiously.

Just when he was about to drop down to his knees and hold her in his arms, someone appeared before him, someone he hated so much. Itachi Uchiha stopped Sasuke from getting closer to Sakura, he pushed Sasuke away.

"Itachi!" Sasuke exclaimed, his eyes flaming red. "What are you doing here?!" he screamed. Jiraiya was by Sasuke's side in a split second.

"I'm here for Sakura." Itachi shrugged off his cloak and laid it over Sakura, curling it around her as if it was a blanket. He was very protective of the young girl and didn't want her showing skin in her vulnerable state.

"Well you can't have her! You bastard!" Sasuke tried to lung at Itachi but Jiraiya stopped him.

Jiraiya's hand was firmly on Sasuke's shoulder and he pulled the young boy back. "Sasuke, I don't think you fully grasp the situation." He murmured in warning.

"I understand, my bastard of a brother is trying to kidnap Sakura." Sasuke hissed dangerously and glared at Itachi.

"Foolish little brother, what little you know." He sighed and picked up the sleeping pinkette bridal style. Her arm was limp by her side and Sasuke read the engraved words.

"'Akatsuki Princess'?" he mumbled. "What does that mean…?" he asked himself and then Jiraiya stood in front of him.

"Sasuke, I think you have been played. That girl is part of a dangerous organization, and is a threat to the village. The Akatsuki wants to capture Naruto and kill him, she was using you." Jiraiya explained lowly and Sasuke didn't take it well.

"What?! No! I won't believe it." He shouted. Sakura's eyes opened and she looked at Itachi.

"Itachi…you came for me." She whispered and her head turned to the side, her eyes widened when she saw Sasuke and Jiraiya. "S-Sasuke."

"Sakura is it true? Are you part of Akatsuki?" Sasuke angrily asked his hand balling up into fists.

Sakura closed her eyes and tears rolled out. "Yes…yes I am."

There was a silence and Itachi stared at his brother who had hatred in his eyes. "You bitch." He growled and lunged at Itachi who was holding onto Sakura, he side-stepped him and kicked Sasuke away, not wanting him to hurt Sakura. Sasuke wiped blood from his face and glared at the two. "Next time I see you Sakura, I promise you I will kill you for betraying me. I will kill you and Itachi." Then he and Jiraiya fled the area.

Sakura had waterfalls coming from her eyes and she took in shallow breaths. "Sakura?" Itachi asked. Sakura looked at him with sad eyes but raised a curious eyebrow. "Why are you crying?" he asked softly, well soft for an Uchiha.

Sakura sighed. "Because I loved him." She then passed out in Itachi's arms. Itachi was more then surprised, how could this happen?

"God dammit." Pein growled as he paced around in his office, Konan looked at him nervously. Her eyes had anger in them but also despair. "This can't continue, she's like a sitting duck." He stomped around.

Konan nodded in agreement and was about to say something when Itachi walked into the room. "Pein-sama…" he greeted and bowed formally.

Pein looked at him with a frown. "Itachi, what is it?"

Itachi looked at him with serious eyes. "I would like to report that Kisame has come back from his…mission. All were killed at the base, and he found Orochimaru lurking around, but the snake managed to escape."

Pein cursed under his breath and his knuckles turned white from the force he was putting on them. Konan looked at him worriedly and then looked at Itachi. "If it wasn't for that wretched curse seal, I would hunt down Orochimaru and make him beg for mercy." Malice came off from him in waves, making anyone in a four mile radius shiver at the feeling.

The Uchiha prodigy looked at Pein with steady eyes. "Kakuzu has looked over Sakura and I think you should go found out what the damage is." He looked at Konan. "You too, Konan."

The two did as suggested and what they found out did not make them happy. Sakura was still unconscious and she had been beaten, burned in several places, cut on her arm, sexually assaulted, and much more. It made the two parents bubble with rage. If either one of them ever came across that evil snake, oh boy he better run.

Sasuke went back to the village. Jiraiya didn't speak to him during the travel home; he didn't want to make him mad. But mad wasn't the word to describe how Sasuke felt. He felt used and betrayed and alone and the anger and hatred in him that had eased over time was back in full force.

He wanted revenge and he would get it. Sasuke would defeat those who did things that are unforgivable, and now he knew what he had to do. As he stared at the Sound ninjas in front of him, sent by Orochimaru to retrieve him, nothing was holding him back.

He didn't have a decision to make anymore; he made up his mind the moment he found out the truth about Sakura. The only one who could help him with his goal would have to be Orochimaru.

Kakashi walked the village streets and calmly strode into the Uchiha compound. He needed to talk to Sasuke; Jiraiya had told him what happened. He couldn't have one of his students get torn up with so much hate, it just wasn't healthy.

He walked over to where he knew Sasuke lived and peeked through his window. The room was dark and there was no light on. A grin of mischief found it way under his mouth, he would startle his student. Oh how much fun that was to do….

Sneaky like the ninja he was he slowly without much noise opened the window and leaped in. What he found was a neatly made bed, with no Sasuke in it. Did he get the wrong room? No he didn't, he saw on the nightstand where a picture frame was, though it was upside down. Walking over he saw that it was a picture taken with Sakura a little awhile ago.

Kakashi started to panic where was Sasuke? Something didn't feel right; he didn't feel his student's signature anywhere in the home. Immediately he pulled out a draw to see it empty, then the next was empty as well. And so one. His closet was without anything except a piece of paper and a shinobi headband, with a rogue slash in it.

The ex ANBU cursed under his breath and gripped the headband tightly in his hands, it was definitely Sasuke's. Then his eyes ghosted over the note, his grief fully in motion now.

I would say I am sorry for leaving, but I'm not. By the time the sun is up I will be out of Fire country; and a rogue officially. Don't come looking for me, because if you do, I won't come back. I never will.

Sasuke U.

Kakashi sighed and slumped, he knew this would happen. He was just disappointed that he couldn't stop it.

END OF PART ONE!!!

Wow, this took me a while to get this chapter out, and it's horribly rushed. I am so sorry if it seems choppy; I just didn't feel enthused to writing this chapter. I hate writing endings, and well this is the ending for part one. The next part (which will hopefully be out soon) will be when the more important things come into action. Like Akatsuki's plans, and Sakura's promise to protect people, and Sasuke's promise to kill people.

In the next part everyone will be three to four years older. Sakura is going to be seventeen (use her as a marker.) Anywho…don't hate me for waiting forever to update. I love you all!!

Please review, to either yell at me for taking 100 lifetimes and or say welcome back!! I have been having personal struggles and yeah. Please tell me what you think about my story thus far, and what you would like to happen, I'm always open for suggestions.
