Chapter 10: Uchihas
Sakura looked in to the eyes she hated so much. "What do you want… Itachi?" she finally said trying to show no fear.
"You remember me, huh? How nice of you to receive me here in your house" he smirked at his own sarcasms.
"What do you WANT???" She yelled.
"Tsk tsk tsk. That's no way to treat a visitor. Have you forgotten your manners?" in one second he was behind her.

Sasuke and Naruto ran inside and stopped only to see Itachi holding Sakura by her waist with a kunai on her neck.
"Naruto-kun, it's nice to see you. It's been years already?! I can see you have grown." He activated his sharingan. "Oh, and who are you? Sasuke, I can see you're still a weakling."
Sasuke wanted to punch Itachi so hard. Anger rushed in his veins. But Naruto held him back.
"Don't be stupid Sasuke. He won't think twice about killing her." Naruto yelled at Sasuke.
"Hum… You should listen to that jinchuuriki. I will kill her if any you come closer." Itachi was now even closer to her body. His right hand ran all over her stomach as his left hand continued to hold a kunai on near her neck. "Isn't she just the most beautiful thing you have ever seen Sasuke?" he was provoking Sasuke. "Don't worry, as soon as I'm done with her I'll return her to you… dead or alive. It depends on how nicely she treats me". He looked up at Sasuke and Naruto.
"You do anything to her and I swear you'll have a painful death." Sasuke screamed.
"You're sweet on her? How cute. Looks like she will be in the family soon, huh? That is… if I don't harm her." Itachi said as he and Sakura disappeared.
Sasuke was so mad he started shouting at himself. "Stupid stupid!!! You knew he was coming for her and did nothing!"
"Wait a minute! You knew Itachi was coming for her??" Naruto couldn't believe that Sasuke didn't tell him anything.
"Yes, she was my bait." Sasuke answered coldly.
"You bastard! How could you! Traitor!! If anything happens to her you'll pay!" Naruto blasted out in anger.
Sasuke could believe Naruto was threatening him. But he had no time to respond… Naruto had already gone.

Naruto went flying in to the Hokage's room door. "Old Lady Tsunade!! He took her! He took her!" he pounded at the door which was opened with a bang.
"What? Huh? Who took who?" she sounded sleepy. "This better be important or you're a dead ninja Naruto!"
"Itachi!! He took Sakura!!" he fell to the floor crying. "All because.. all because… that traitor… he should have told us… he knew and said nothing… that bastard was using her… he fooled us all…"
Tsunade stood there frozen. Uchiha Itachi had taken Sakura, her student, her best student. She tried understanding what Naruto was saying.
"Sasuke knew Itachi was coming for her… he was using her as bait… all 'cause of his stupid revenge… that asshole!" Naruto sobbed. Traitor…
"Naruto, Sasuke knew Itachi was coming? Where is he? I need to…" she didn't have time to finish.
"I'm right here." Said Sasuke. He didn't give them time to say anything. "I'm going after Itachi and I'll bring Sakura back. You can send some shinobis with me… or not. But I'm leaving anyway and I will bring her back!"
"Wait a minute Uchiha. You are under my responsibility and I will not let you go alone." Tsunade had a plan. "Naruto, Hinata and Yamato will go with you.
"Oh no! I'm not going with him" Naruto was acting childish. "He is a traitor. It's his entire fault. If he wasn't so selfish Sakura would still be here. And I need Sai on this mission! Sai is a part of team 7, he is our comrade and a very skillful ninja. I need people I trust on this mission." He glared at Sasuke with anger in his eyes.
Naruto's words cut Sasuke like a sword cutting against flesh. Naruto is right… It was all my fault. But why does he need that jackass. Like he has any use. Sai is just a guy who is getting on my way too much lately.
"Sai is on a mission but as soon as he comes back he will meet up with you. Now go! Get Yamato and Hinata you have already lost a lot of time." Tsunade ordered.
"Hai" said Sasuke and Naruto at the same time.
"I'll go get Hinata and you get Yamato. We'll meet up by the main gate." Naruto said not looking once at Sasuke.

Itachi made Sakura unconscious as soon as they left her house. When she woke up they were in a kind of cave. It was dark and cold. There was a bed on which she was laying, a door that seemed to lead in to a bathroom, and small closet and a chair on which Itachi was sitting.
"Already awake cherry blossom?" Itachi said with a weird smile.
Old memories came to Sakura's mind.
Flashback
She was running through a forest. It seemed she was running in circles. She bumped into someone… someone she was running from. He knocked her out with a single touch.
She woke up hours later in a dark and cold room. It seemed to be in a cave. She was a prisoner… Akatsuki had taken her.
"You're not what we were looking for but you can be put to good use." A voice came from the corner of the room.
Sakura had been on a small mission far from Konoha and had been captured when she was returning to her village. She looked up to see that face. That face so familiar, so alike Sasuke's and yet so different. Those same cold eyes but an even a colder expression on his face. She could recognize that face anywhere… Uchiha Itachi. The man had been following Naruto for years.
She forced herself to not show fear "What use can I have?" she didn't understand what he meant.
"humpf. You see, the worst weaknesses a shinobi can have are his friends and loved ones. As you know I'm after Naruto but he always seems to get away and now that I have you he'll come to me." Itachi didn't change his expression, or better yet, his lack of expression.
"You're using me as bait? That's low even for shit like you." She said in response.
"You just woke up cherry blossom and you're already saying those unkind words. That's not polite, I never expected such sweet girl like you to say such bad words." He chuckled.
Two weeks passed by and she was still in that room. Itachi had been at her side all the time… She hated him but never argued with him again. One day when she woke up she was outside. He was sitting next to her. They were in the forest.
"What are we doing out here?" she said worried with what he would answer.
"I'm letting you go." He said. Sakura was even more confused.
"Why? Don't you want Naruto?" she asked.
"You seem the type of person who never forgets to repay a favor." He looked at her. "If I were you I'll go now cherry blossom or I might change my mind.
End of Flashback
"Why am I here? What do you want from me?" she asked confused. Naruto was right there. Why didn't he take him? Why did he bring me here? What is he planning?
"Do you remember you owe me a favor, cherry blossom?" He looked straight into her eyes.
Seeing his eyes made her shiver. Such cold eyes, they're just like Sasuke's. "Yes, I remember. So what? What do you want from me?"
"Well, I can't explain why but I knew that even if you were just a beginner at medical ninjutsu one day you would be one of the bests. It just so happens that you are now the best medical ninja there is." He said calmly.
"You brought me here because I'm a medical nin? That doesn't make sense." Sakura still didn't understand.
"You don't know? Well I'll explain everything quicly to you: I'm getting blind." He continued.
"So? What do I have to do with that?" she already knew what he wanted.
"Your going to cure my eyes cherry blossom." He was still looking in her eyes. "So? Are you going to cure them or do I have to hunt Naruto and you're other teammates and kill them?"

Tsunade was worried. Sakura was like a daughter to her but there was another thing that was worrying her. If Itachi finds out who Sakura really is we're going to have an even bigger problem...

Hi!
So what did you guys think of the chapter?
Thanks SasukesGirl567, narutocraze1233, Emma0707, starlit.kiss7 for sending me a review on the last chapter.
I have a good news: I've already decided how the story is going to end. lol
I don't like big stories that keep walking on a circle so Heart's Choice won't be big. There is still a lot of things that or going to happen so there is at least five more chapter (maybe even more because I still need to type the next chapters and don't know how big they are going to be).
Love,
Luh xD
