Chapter Ten: Rescue
Third Person POV
"Sakura's been what?" Konan exclaimed as Itachi announced Sakura's disappearance to the members of the Akatsuki.
"It seems that her kidnapping has something to do with the two people who have been observing us today," Itachi noted, remaining calm despite the situation.
Kisame burst through the door, a small note held in his hand. "Hey, I found this just outside the door. It's for you, Itachi."
'The precious blossom is mine, aniki, and there's nothing you could do about it.'

Sakura's POV
I opened my eyes groggily, and found myself restrained in... a bedroom?
"A bedroom, huh?" I said aloud. I let my eyes roam around the surroundings. A small desk with a paper and pen, a closet, a king-sized bed with plain white sheets, a small lamp, a man standing by the doorway...
Wait a minute. A man standing by the doorway? It's Sasuke Uchiha! And he's staring at me, too! The nerve of the bastard!
"What do you want, you chicken-ass freak?" I spat out. I tried breaking the chains which bound my hands and feet, but it seems they were absorbing my chakra.
"Do you know why you're here, Sakura Haruno? Surely you've heard about me, haven't you?" He drawled, taking several steps towards my chained-up form.
"Yeah, you're the lunatic fuck who murdered Itachi-sama's family to impress that snake pedophile! What, you think Itachi-sama's gonna surrender to you by taking me hostage? Well, in that case, think again, bastard!"
"Ohh, but Sakura, I'm not after my stupid big brother. In fact," he traced his tongue from my chin towards my ear, "I'm after you."
"A-after me? What the fuck do you want with me?" I sputtered, not grasping the situation quite fully.
"I want you to be the next Uchiha matriarch." He explained bluntly, not even caring about my astonished reaction.
"Matriarch? Are you out of your mind? Of all people, why me?" I asked witheringly. I'm a weak, good-for-nothing thief, for Pete's sake! I depend on others just to get what I want! And now this stupid bastard chooses me?
"Well, let's see... You're very pretty, you have a lot of potential, and you managed to kill Orochimaru-sama – many people tried but only you succeeded. Plus, you're tied to the prominent organization of highly-skilled shinobi – the Akatsuki. Obtaining you gives me the ability to manipulate its members, even your so-called leader. Don't you see, Sakura? You're their most potent weapon." Sasuke went on as he nuzzled the crook of my neck.
"I can't say much about the first few reasons you said but... The part about me being the Akatsuki's weapon. What do you mean by that? I'm the weakest member of their group. How did that happen?" The rosette incredulously asked, unable to believe Sasuke's explanation.
"Tsk, tsk... You underestimate yourself too much. Aren't you wondering why they kept you instead of turning you over to the Hokage? If they played by the rules you would probably be rotting in jail right now. But no, they pulled a few strings and managed to get permission from the Hokage to put you on parole – but under their supervision. They did that because you're very powerful Sakura; in terms of medical ninjutsu you're unsurpassed, and on top of that you have a deadly strength most shinobi would die for. It's a shame you ended up as the Akatsuki's slave, not to mention a thief."
"Stop playing innocent. At least I didn't go murdering my own clan, not like you did." I huffed curtly. I was sick of having people rub it in my face that I'm a robber. It's not like it's my fault I am one!
"I have my own reasons for that, darling." He sensuously twirled a lock of my cherry-colored hair around his finger as he kissed my nose. "Now, shall we get started?"

Third Person POV
Panic spread throughout the Akatsuki base as everyone tried to figure out a plan to bust out the rosette from Sasuke's hellhole. As soon as Pein found out about the ordeal, he immediately suspended all upcoming missions in favor of rescuing Sakura (save for Hidan, Kakuzu, Deidara and Sasori, who were at a mission at that moment).
"Why do you think he would do such a thing?" Konan mused aloud as they were gathered inside Pein's office.
"It could be he's in need of a medic," Zetsu suggested, and everyone seemed to agree with his answer, until Kisame shook his head and said, "No, I don't think so. I know for a fact that Kabuto is also a medic."
"It only comes down to one possible answer," Itachi grimly announced. "He could've chosen her to help him restore the Uchiha clan."
"You mean, he…" The sapphire-haired woman's face was stricken with horror as the realization dawned upon them.
"Yes, he could be raping Sakura this very moment." Even though Itachi forbade himself to say it, he had no other choice.
"And that is why we must save Sakura as soon as possible." Pein's ringed eyes turned serious as he looked at his subordinates. "Kisame, Zetsu – you two scout the perimeter for any traces of the Uchiha. Tobi and Konan, you will keep an eye on the base. Itachi, go back to Otogakure to see if anyone there has information about Sasuke's whereabouts. If you encounter someone with important knowledge, don't hesitate to use force in order to acquire it. Do not approach Sasuke directly without reporting back to me. That is all; this meeting is adjourned." The assigned shinobi disappeared from the room instantly.

"Tadaima [We're back]," Deidara called as he and Sasori entered the Akatsuki base. Both were tired and worn-out from the difficult mission they came back from.
Silence ensued the base; a somber atmosphere looming about the area. The pair immediately knew there was something wrong.
"Hello? Is anyone home?" Sasori shouted. This time he was greeted by Konan, who wore a melancholic expression on her usually passive face.
"Okaerinasai, Deidara, Sasori. [Welcome home, Deidara, Sasori.] You might want to check in Leader-sama's office as soon as possible." She greeted them dismally.
"Why? Is something the matter, un?" Deidara worriedly asked, seeing as the other members were unusually absent.
"Sakura-chan... She's been held captive by Sasuke Uchiha."
Deidara and Sasori's eyes widened in shock as the news sank in their minds.
The stillness was broken when Deidara chuckled. "Tell me, this is a joke, right, hm?" He laughed, patting his red-haired partner's back.
His hilarity was replaced by fury when the others remained silent. With shaking fists he stomped down to Pein's office, slamming the doors open without prior warning.
"Where the fuck is Sakura? Tell me!" He roared wrathfully, his cerulean eyes darkening into a harsh shade of dark blue.
Pein ignored the blatant act of disrespect as he tried to put himself into the bomber's shoes. He would act the same way if something bad happened to Konan.
"I suppose you already heard the news from Konan. However, you must calm down, Deidara." He advised the blond soothingly.
"You're telling me to calm down? Do you think Sakura's abduction is a fucking walk in the park?" Deidara yelled; his patience growing thinner by the second.
"Deidara, you are not in the position to use that tone of voice at me. Trust me, I know how you feel, but do understand that the other members are trying their best to save Sakura from Sasuke's clutches." Pein explained calmly to him. Deidara's agitation seemed to have lessened a bit.
"If you want, you and Sasori can help Kisame and Zetsu in inspecting for clues."
"Where is Itachi, hm?" Deidara's anger subsided for now, just until he was in front of Leader.
"I sent him back to Otogakure to see if he can obtain helpful information on where Sasuke might be hiding. Do you want to go after him?" Pein offered.
"No, I'll just stick with Kisame and Zetsu. My flying skills ought to be a lot helpful for them, hm." The golden-haired artist bowed before exiting the office. His determination to find his beloved shone in his eyes like fire.
When Deidara returned to the ground floor, he found Sasori and Konan sitting on the couch. They seemed to be awfully worried as the time passed by.
"I'm going out, yeah. Do you guys want to come with me?" He proffered, preparing his means of transportation outside the door.
"I can't. Leader-sama ordered me to keep watch while the others are gone," Konan refused the offer.
"You go, Deidara. I have a few wounds that need to be tended to." Sasori told Deidara.
"Good luck, Deidara. And come back safe," Konan called after him, as the blond soared above the trees, eager to rescue his Sakura-chan.

"Shit! Let go of me, you crazy goddamned fuck!" Sakura shrieked, resisting the onyx-haired man's ministrations. She kicked her legs against his in an attempt to push him away, but it only proved useless as he straddled her hips, effectively pinning down the lower part of her body.
"I said let–" Her screams were silenced when Sasuke placed his lips on hers. His tongue stroked her lower lip, begging for entrance he was instantly denied. He deftly grabbed one of Sakura's breasts and squeezed, earning an involuntary moan from the rosette. He took this chance to slip his tongue inside her mouth, exploring her warm cavern and massaging her tongue with his.
Sakura used her tongue to push away Sasuke's offending appendage, but he mistook it as arousal and the two started to fight for dominance. In the end Sakura won, but she slumped down as she ran out of breath. Sasuke pulled away, leaving her panting for breath, and dove down to her neck, sucking and licking greedily at her creamy skin. Sakura shivered uncontrollably as she tried to suppress her moans, and her captor noticed this.
"Give in to me, Sakura. I know you want this," he urged her like the devil, his hands toying with the hem of her biker shorts.
"Not in your life, you dirty scum," Sakura spat venomously.
"If that's the case then I guess I have no choice." He swiftly pulled down her biker shorts, exposing her white lace panties. Her arrogant expression turned into pure repulsion as she realized what he was going to do to her.

"Where is Sasuke?" Itachi demanded menacingly, his eyes reflecting the Sharingan. He tightened his grip on Kabuto's neck, choking the said man. He had found the medic not too far away from Orochimaru's former base.
Itachi's only reply was the small tinkling sound Kabuto's glasses had made when they fell off from his face, shattering into a million pieces. "Answer me," the Sharingan wielder hissed, his ruby-colored eyes promising pain and torture for those who defied him.
Kabuto felt his defenses slip as he finally gave in. He was a coward at heart, willing to betray his comrades at the cost of his life. "H-he's inside the base, u-underground," The Oto-nin croaked out as he felt his lungs ache for air.
"Tell me which way to go," Itachi ordered. He wasn't willing to let go of Kabuto until he had acquired all of the information needed.
"F-flick the small switch at the s-seat of Sasuke's t-throne. A s-small stairway should appear in front of y-you. It leads d-directly to S-Sasuke's chambers, where he locked up the k-kunoichi."
"Is that all?"
"Y-yes..." Itachi finally released the silver-haired man, who was avariciously inflating his burning lungs with sweet air. He left towards the direction of Sasuke's castle, but not before knocking out the Sound medic.
ღ×ღ×ღ
Sasuke teasingly fingered the waistband of Sakura's underwear, amusingly watching the rose-haired woman's expressions flicker from anger and disgust, to terror, and finally, to embarrassment.
"Tell me, my princess, are you a virgin?" He purred seductively, making the kunoichi blush profusely. He laughed at the display of demureness coming from Sakura.
"I guess I'm going to enjoy this a lot." He inserted a digit into Sakura's core, eliciting a surprised gasp from the woman. He slowly pumped in and out, as he was intending to tease her. Her gasps escalated into small mewls and whimpers, even though she was thoroughly revolted with herself in reacting in such a way.
Sasuke's ears were drowning themselves with the pink-haired nymph's cries of pleasures. "Tell me, my dear, do you want more?" He whispered, his hot breath brushing against Sakura's ear.
The emerald-eyed girl was about to answer when the door burst open, its splinters flying across the room. A fragment scraped Sasuke's cheek when he turned to see who interrupted him.
"Get your filthy hands off her!" There, in the doorway, stood Sakura's savior, Itachi Uchiha. His Sharingan was spinning wildly, revealing the man's killer intent.
Sasuke stood up, furious that his brother ruined his sick fun. "Get the hell out here. I don't remember inviting you!" He growled, tugging at Sakura's wrist. "See this? She's mine, so fuck off."
Sakura's pained yelp was enough to drive the older Uchiha livid with wrath. He strode forward and placed a strong kick on the younger Uchiha's gut, sending him to nearby wall. Afterwards he appeared by the rosette's side, snapping the chains in half.
"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Itachi asked the sobbing woman who was rubbing her sore wrists. Seeing her lack of decent attire, he wrapped her nearly-bare body with his cloak. Itachi's warmth and smell immediately calmed down Sakura, who was still shaking violently with sobs. Itachi helped her up, and carried her out of the room, away from Sasuke's grasp.
"Where do you think you're taking her, Itachi?" Sasuke barked, struggling to stand up despite his broken ribs. His Sharingan was activated as well, the blood-red color intimidating the rosette.
"Run, Sakura. Go straight to Konoha and find the others," Itachi instructed her, hurriedly steering her upstairs.
"But Itachi-sama, what about you? I shouldn't leave you alone," she protested, refusing to let go of her senior's hand.
"I'll be fine; this is a serious matter between me and my brother. It's about time we settled this," he told her. He blessed her with a kiss on her forehead and gently pushed her away. "Go now, Sakura!"
With a last sad look, Sakura dashed up the stairs, porcelain tears streaming down her face.
'Keep safe, Itachi.'
