What if Sakura was a member of akatsuki and was Itachi's fiancé? What would life be like then? Sasuke x Sakura
"Hi" (talking)
"Hi" (inner sakura)
"Hi" (thinking)
"Hi" (flashback)
Chapter 9- let me be free; I'll bring you back! I promise!
"I won't let you control my life anymore… ITACHI!" Sakura thought as she leaped through the night tree by tree. "Even if it means my death… I will be free!" she whispered as she jumped down onto the ground.
In Konoha
"Goodbye…" Sakura said as she turned around and disappeared. "I'm so sorry… truly" her voice echoed.
"NO! Sakura! Sakura!" Sasuke yelled and reached for her but she was already gone.
"SAKURA!" Sasuke yelled as he woke up in a bundle of sweat. His hand was reaching up.
"Sakura left didn't she?" Sasuke turned around to see Tsunade and rest of the group, Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji, Tenten, Neji, Lee, Hinata, Shino, Kiba and Naruto.
"Did Sakura-Chan leave?" Naruto said to him.
"Yes…" Sasuke whispered. Ino broke into tears along with Tenten and Hinata.
"How long have I been out?"
"Only since last night where Kakashi found you on his way to the bookstore."
"It's not even her fault! It's that damn Itachi's fault!" Ino mumbled. "But she did it to save us…"
(Flashback)
"I think I should head home now…" Sakura said. "I'm getting kind of tired." She quickly added.
"So fast Sakura-Chan?" Naruto whined.
"I'll walk you to your house." Sasuke volunteered, everyone quickly stared at him with shock. "What?" He said in annoyance with a glare, which made everyone turn their gaze away from him quickly. Sasuke then walked ahead to Sakura's house. Sakura then watched him and then snapped out of her trance when he told her to hurry. She waved 'bye bye' to the other ninjas and then ran to keep up with Sasuke.
"They're a nice couple." Tenten commented and smiled. "Right… Ino?" She said as Ino came out from behind the shop.
"I guess" Ino whispered. "Sasuke-kun looked happy and content when he was with her, something I was never able to do for about 10 whole years."
"Glad you understand." Shikamaru said and smirked. Ino smiled to him.
"AHH!" someone shrieked. The ninjas all turned around. There stood Uchiha Itachi holding Ayame up by the neck.
"AYAME-CHAN! LET HER GO YOU BASTARD!" Naruto yelled as he tried to punch Itachi only to be knocked to the building across the street.
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata yelled as she ran over to help him.
"Take one more step towards him and this girl dies." Itachi said referring to Ayame, Hinata froze and activated byakugan along with Neji. Itachi just looked at them emotionlessly and threw Ayame to Hinata who would've caught her if not for the fact that Itachi kicked her in her stomach.
"AHH!" Hinata screamed as she flew towards the ramen shop.
"HINATA!" Ino yelled and then turned to face Itachi with a glare but also a scared expression… a VERY scared expression. She quickly made a hand seal but was stopped by Itachi stabbing a kunai on her back, she screamed in pain but stood back up again and her eyes widened as she saw a huge fireball coming towards her.
"INO!" she heard Shikamaru yell.
"As long as she stays… you'll ALL get hurt…" she heard Itachi say before everything went black.
(End of flashback)
"She shouldn't have had to leave!" Ino cried as Shikamaru tried to comfort her but didn't quite succeed.
"We'll get her back then." Tsunade said. Everyone turned to look at her with surprised expressions. "All of you go."
"Really?" Naruto said with glitter in his eyes and Tsunade nodded.
"But… if you're unable to then, to protect all of Konoha… you'll have to kill her." She added as everyone froze at their steps.
"You're kidding right?" Tenten mumbled with disbelief that filled her eyes.
"No. Now go, she was last spotted heading for the valley of the dead." Tsunade said sternly. "This is an A-ranked mission- Get Sakura back."
"Yes!" Naruto said. "Let's go Sasuke… huh?" he ended with confusion.
"What happened?" Hinata asked him.
"Sasuke's gone."
"He's gone after Sakura."
"That dummy! The poison is still a little in affect."
"Sakura… she completes Sasuke's life."
"Let's go…"
"We definitely will get Sakura back."
With Sasuke…
"Sakura… wait for me…" Sasuke thought as he sped out the gates of Konoha with his inhuman speed. "I… will protect you." He whispered. "I promise…"
