Chapter 10

Sakura had woken up to a painful headache to which she had sent soothing chakra through her temples. The last thing she remembered was that the purple mist had engulfed her and then seconds after, some crashes and rumblings were heard. So why wasn't she dead, not that she wasn't grateful and where the hell was she?

She took the blankets off herself and swung her legs over the bed. She found she had quite a few marks and bruises on herself, but nothing quite severe. She ran her fingers over her flat toned stomach and felt the small bundle of chakra, then sighed with relief. She got up and took in her surroundings. It was quite dimly lit with only a bed in the corner and a small drawer next to it.

The walls were a dark brown which hinted they were made out of stone and rock. There were no windows at all which made the air around her warmer than usual. She walked out of the room and saw a small hallway that was lit by a flickering light bulb on the ceiling. I wonder where the others are. "Sasuke…Itachi…Deidara…?" She called out hesitantly, hoping for some response.

There was no response, but her echo bouncing off the walls, which now told her she was alone, or so she presumed. She figured they would be looking for her or left, thinking she was dead. As she walked down the hallway, she was wide eyed at the blood covered walls. There was an eerie silence that told Sakura to get out of here and look for the others.

As she continued walking, she peeped into the rooms and was more horrified. There were decaying bodies that had been severely injured and left to die, or they were killed. Sakura gulped loudly, knowing she did not like this place. As she walked around, she felt nauseated by the stench of dead bodies and blood. She turned into another hallway saw a room where there were file cabinets that had been rummaged through and sheets of paper on the floor. As she went to pick up the papers, she heard feet shuffling towards her and clanking of metal.

"Hello, is there anybody there?" She called out while looking behind her. There was no answer, but she heard this person or something coming closer. She walked out of the room to see who was there, but there was no one. She shook her head thinking she was seeing things. She looked through the sheets only to find they were names of ninja's with their pictures next to it. All the pictures had a big x drawn on them which she assumed meant they were dead. But what would something like this be doing here?

She felt a lingering shadow behind her and when she turned to look, there was nothing. Sakura get a hold of yourself, there's nothing there. She walked out of the room, and at the end of the passage, she saw a shadow of a small girl that seemingly had long flowing hair. She followed the shadow and called out, "Who's there?"

She heard a child's playful laughter and saw the girl running off. Sakura quickly ran after her and saw her running into a room. She walked in and looked around to find the girl was not there anymore. The door slammed shut and Sakura jumped around. She tried to open the door but it was locked. She looked down to see the door was locked from the inside with the lock on.

She looked on the floor and saw a shadow pass the door quite quickly. She tried to open the lock, but it wouldn't budge. Someone was here and was messing around with her. She was seriously going kick this persons butt when she found him. She gathered her chakra into her fist and punched the lock, which allowed her to open the door. She could feel her anger rising and shouted, "Look, just come out and face me, I won't hurt you."

"But I do want to hurt you, Sakura," The soft voice belonged to a young girl, she thought, but what would a young child be doing here alone? Sakura's eyes widened a little, she could feel herself slowly sweating with fright. She quickly composed herself and scolded her own self, "Do not let this person get to you, this is what he wants."

She walked out to see the shadow once again running off, and this time she could see some metal shackles around her ankles that clanked heavily across the floor. She seemed to be a little girl, but it could have been gen jutsu. Sakura was never affected by gen jutsu, so that wasn't the answer. She quickly followed the shadow to find herself in a hospital theatre room.

There was a dead rotting body on which insects started to feed off and instruments could be seen stabbed into the body in various places. Behind the curtain, the small girl's shadow was seen clearly. She had a petite figure with long flowing hair. The room was quite disgusting, there was blood splattered all over the walls yet again, and the instruments on the side were covered in dried blood. It absolutely reeked in here.

"Who are you and want do you want with me?" Sakura called out to the girl, trying to peak around the curtain where she was standing.

Her soft voice spoke, "I know who you are, Haruno Sakura."

There was a pause. "I want to hurt you, kill you and rip you mercilessly from limb to limb."

She let out a gravelly laughter and Sakura found beads of sweat rolling down her face, "What have I ever done to you?"

"Oh, you've done nothing, but you've got something I need."

Sakura almost felt pity on the girl, she thought she was sick or mentally ill to be stuck like this. Sakura spoke in her soft hospital voice, which she had noticed seemed to calm the patients down when she was working with them, "Listen, if you need help, then I can help you, show me yourself and I can see what I can do."

"I don't need help, I am perfectly fine, I do not need pity from you Haruno," The little girl snarled out demonically, and Sakura slightly whimpered at her demonic voice, believing this was not normal. Sakura figured this girl was not indeed a little innocent girl who needed help, but someone who really intended to kill her. Sakura backed out from the room slowly, and then ran as fast she could to find the exit. She heard the girl running after her letting out a demonic laugh, to which Sakura shuddered out of fright.

She heard her say, "You can run, but you can't hide Haruno, I will find you."

Sakura ran as fast as she could away from this thing. She ran into a dead end saw the girl coming towards her agonizing slowly. She could hear her repeat her name, "Sakura, please don't run from me, I promise to end it quickly. Sakura, Sakura, I will find you."

She turned into another hall way, she could hear her metal shackles being dragged across the floor, coming for her. She tripped over something and fell hard onto the cold floor. She frantically tried to get up, to see the little girl only a few metres away from her. Her long black bangs covered her eyes, she had pale white skin, and her razor sharp teeth could be seen through her red stained lips.

Sakura got up and moved away from her, grabbing a kunai knife from her pouch and aimed it at the girl, to her surprise the kunai was stuck in her, with no blood leaking out. She removed the knife from her body and threw it at Sakura. She moved out of the way easily, but some of her hair got cut off, and the knife hit the wall. She then felt her pouch to be empty and glared at the girl. She had taken her weapons away from her, leaving her defenceless at a time like this.

"What the fuck do you want with me?"

"You know, I don't like repeating myself." The little girl laughed softly at her, eyes glinting menacingly.

"What do you want?" She spat out, her eyes fixated on her and her jaws clenched. She tilted her head at her and one of eyes could be seen, which made it more horrifying. They were a sickly white colour with a small black dot in the middle which she presumed was the pupil.

Sakura growled at her, "What the fuck, I won't sacrifice myself for some freak who wants to kill me."

"I don't like your tone Haruno!" The little girl yelled demonically at her, eyeing her every movements. Sakura ran away from her, finding the exit, she heard her say, "You can never hide from me, I will always be wherever you are, watching you."

She heard the demon laugh after that. She found a locked door, and felt wind come in through the cracks. She sighed as she found her way to freedom. She heard several bangs on the wall coming towards her and ferocious growls aimed at her. She gathered up her chakra to break the lock and opened the door to find it actually lead outside. She sprinted off and nearly felt glad until she felt the girl hot on her trails. She suddenly felt herself hit her back on a tree.

She opened up her clenched eyes to see the black haired girl standing a few feet from her with a malicious grin. Sakura was pinned against the tree at her arms, but couldn't tell by what. Sharp nails scratched her face across her cheek, letting blood pour out. She felt this thing scratch her all over her body in mere seconds, her clothes torn and blood soaked from her deep wounds. She couldn't even summon her chakra for some odd reason and also felt it being drained from her body, which was making her slowly weaker.

"Do not ever run away from Haruno, I will catch you and hurt you like there's no tomorrow," The little girl came closer to her, her voice soft and deadly. Sakura's eyes faltered when she let out a roar. She wanted to escape from her, because she knew this thing would harm her to the extent of killing her. She got up slowly, leaning on the tree for support. She whispered to the girl, "Just fucking leave me alone."

"I will never leave you alone, until I get what I need," A non-human hand grasped tightly at her neck, constricting Sakura's air way. Her voice was now fluctuating between her two voices which made it even more frightening.

"If you don't fuckin tell me, how can I give it you?" Sakura nearly cried out in anger, frustrated with the thing standing in front of her. The hand grasped her neck tighter, and Sakura's face paled, "When the time comes I will take it, but until that time comes I will enjoy slowly torturing you."

"Bitch!"

Sakura was thrown across a couple of metres, her front scraping large stones on the ground. She made another run for it, trying to get away from her and back to the others. She found herself on the verge of tears, facing something that was beyond anything she had come across.

Itachi and the rest had been travelling on this unknown island to find Sakura who they assumed was probably dead. They had decided to split up to make the search easier. Itachi and Deidara, and Sasuke by himself. They had been searching through the night and it was early in the morning. They had grown restless and decided to take some rest before searching some more.

The mist had mostly cleared, making things easier to see. Sasuke had activated his sharingan to search for any chakra. Something told him that Sakura was still alive, not dead. The forest was quite dense on the other side. He held his Kusanagi in his hand to cut off anything that was in the way. Luckily for him, he had switched his white robe for the grey high collared shirt, otherwise the robe wouldn't have been wearable anymore. He had put the zip down a bit as it was becoming warmer than usual.

This island was nothing he had ever come across. After walking for a few miles through the thick vegetation, he came across a building that was on the other side of the island. It was like a hospital, but only with one floor. It looked relatively big. The front door hanged loosely on its hinges. Leaves and other things had settled on the entrance. Sasuke walked in, moving all the leaves out of his way. From what it looked like, this place was abandoned for a long time. There were several hallways leading to different directions.

He walked one way to find blood stained walls and dead bodies lying on the floor. He found the smell quite disgusting of decaying bodies and blood. He looked through the rooms and saw bodies that had been viciously killed. He wasn't surprised at the scene as he had seen this many times before. But something like this shouldn't have been in the hospital. It was strange for even a person like him.

As he walked around slowly, he could feel someone's chakra that had been here quite a while ago. No doubt this was Sakura's. He had been able to recognize what her chakra was like since she she was around him for a longer period of time. He walked into another hallway and on the floor he could see pink strands that had been cut off. His eyes widened as he knew this was Sakura's hair. She was the only girl that had pink hair. He looked around to see anything and he saw a kunai knife on the edge of the wall. She must've fought someone or trying to protect herself.

He called out to see if she was here, "Sakura are you here?"

No response. So one thing was clear, she was alive and was recently in this building. But where did she go now? He carried on walking and felt wind coming in through somewhere else. He nearly smirked to himself as he saw a door that had been punched open. He walked up to the door to face the other side of the forest. He then quickly tree hopped outside to find her. About a few miles off, he suddenly stopped as he could smell fresh blood. He looked around cautiously, and on the floor there were torn pieces of fabric, that looked similar to Sakura's clothing. She definitely had run into an enemy. He gripped the material tighter in his fist and carried on searching through the dense forest hoping to see more signs.

Sakura had managed to find a small cave like thing and hide in there. She had masked her chakra to prevent the little girl from finding her. What the fuck is she? She had never seen anything like this before. She was definitely not a human, nor ghost. Maybe she was one of Orochimaru's experiments, but she wasn't sure as she had never seen anything like this before. She calmed herself down to think of what to do next. She stood still listening for any movements around her. She held her breath as she heard her name being said outside the cave.

"Sakura, I know where you are."

"Sakura I know you're hiding from me in that cave."

She gasped and tried to crawl further back into the cave. Sakura covered her ears as the girl kept banging on the cave and letting out ear piercing roars. The banging's became quieter, but she did not hear the footsteps retreating.

The girl's voice had a melodic tone to it, "Sakura when you come out, I will hurt you. I am going away now because there is an issue need to be taken of. I will see you later Haruno." She walked away and Sakura stayed in the cave, until she knew the girl would be far away from her as possible. After a few minutes she came out and quickly took off in another direction, hoping the girl didn't sense her and the issue gave her enough time to run off and look for the others.

Sasuke had felt someone's presence near him and went to find the source. He then heard some rustling behind a bush.

"Sakura is that you?"

A child's voice was heard, "Are you looking for Haruno?"

Out stepped the little girl who had a wicked smile plastered on her white pale skin, her sickly eyes clearly shown to him. Sasuke faltered in his steps, not knowing how to approach this strange girl. His eyes bled red and scanned her from head to toe. His eyes had widened and looked up to find her white eyes staring at him in a creepy way. There was no chakra, no life source, nothing it was completely pitch black and empty like a gaping black hole.

"What the fuck are you are and who are you?" Sasuke couldn't help but blurt it out the first question that formed in his mind. The little girl laughed at him, "That's not for you to know. If you're looking for Haruno, she won't be coming back with you, she'll be staying with me where I will slowly enjoy torturing her, until I get what I need, so goodbye stranger."

A dark demonic laugh emitted from her mouth. Sasuke swore his heart stopped beating for a moment at her laugh.

"Where the hell is Sakura?" Sasuke asked, his eyes narrowing at her. The girl tilted her head at him and snarled, "I told you, she won't be joining you."

Sasuke then took his sword from his back and in a single movement, he sliced this thing in half, but to his surprise, she was still standing with her trademark smile. No blood came out and instead, black wisps surrounded her body and the huge slash through her body had mended itself as brand new. "What do you want with her?" he snarled at her, his voice more vicious than before.

She snarled once again, her head tilting further than it should have, "I told you stranger, I won't tell you anything."

Sasuke was becoming uneasy around this girl. His grip tightened around the katana, gritting his teeth on what to do next. Before he could decide, the little girl had disappeared, leaving a small cloud of smoke behind. Her soft laugher echoed throughout the forest, to which his head pounded with pain and slight ringing. He nearly gagged at the upcoming vomit rising in his throat, but soon swallowed hard and the feeling vanished. Through his life as an S-class criminal and a shinobi, he had never seen anything like this. She was like the reincarnation of the devil in the form of this girl. While her white stained dress was so innocent looking, her face resembled something you would see in your nightmares.

He wiped his forehead of the perspiration, and went to find Sakura once more. Low branches and thick grass was making his travel harder, but with his sword he was able to cut them out of his way with ease. The little girl had indeed seen Sakura and seemed to enemies with her. She needed something from Sakura to stop her from leaving this ghost island. He saw a cave out of the corner of his eye, thinking she must've been in there he called, "Sakura are you here?"

There was no response, but felt her lingering chakra and knew he was getting closer to her. She was close by somewhere and he called out her name several times and switched on his kekkai genkai. Sakura heard her name being called out very faintly, but couldn't tell from where. She could have been imagining things or it was a trick, but still risked it and followed where she could hear her name from. After walking slightly back she suddenly felt someone else's chakra and realized it was Sasuke's.

Her eyes widened in joy and walked quicker to where she could locate the chakra. Sasuke immediately felt her chakra near him and soon enough both of them were close enough and began to make their way to each sensing each other's chakra. In a matter of a few minutes, Sakura stood quite far in the clearing and on the other side she could see Sasuke's figure quite clearly.

She stood motionless for a minute, then took few slow steps making sure she wasn't seeing things. After registering it was him, she quickened her pace which turned into a run, making sure she didn't trip over over her own two feet out of joy. She threw her arms around Sasuke and buried her head in his neck. Nothing could describe what she was feeling right now, after all the terror she had been through, she was glad to see Sasuke who had his eyes closed and breathed deeply. Something warm stirred inside of him at the sight of Sakura, though he couldn't tell what it was, he wasn't really a man of emotions. He was right after all, she was still alive and here with him. Sasuke took in her warmth and the feeling of her arms wrapped around him tightly. His arms remained on his sides, but itching to hug her as well, having her in his arms, though his Uchiha pride wasn't going to let him.

Wait, what the hell did I just think of?

You want her in your arms, which means you care for her.

Shut up, I don't care for her, hell I don't even like her.

When did I say you liked her?

Fuck off.

I wish I could but I'm stuck inside this emo's ass and there's' nothing you can do about it, so live with it.

Sasuke inwardly groaned at his now talking conscious, which had been driving him nuts lately. She spoke, most of it coming out in muffles, but Sasuke still understood, "Thank god you came, I though you all left me here. You don't know what I've been through, I saw this girl who I thought was sick but then I found out that she wanted to kill me and…."

Sakura finally took herself off him, slightly embarrassed, but still happy that he found her. One thing was for sure, he wasn't happy in the state he found her in. Her clothes were ripped and soaked in blood, and large scratches and grazed marks all over her.

"What the hell happened to you?" He asked commandingly, taking in the sight of her wounds and not liking what he saw.

Sakura's mood turned down thinking if she told him, he would think she had become mental, but still spoke, "It's a long story, you don't want to know."

Sasuke raised a thin eyebrow at her, "I've just met a psycho demon girl who doesn't want you to leave and has the intentions of torturing you for something she wants, so I do want to know."

"So you met the little girl?" Sakura asked hesitantly.

"I wouldn't even call her a little girl." His voice had a dark humour tone to it, to which Sakura had shuddered inside, but at the same time she quite liked it. Sakura giggled quietly at his comment, and silence followed after that.

She spoke after a few moments, "When I woke up, I was in this hospital kind of building. After I started to walk around, the girl kept running away from me and then in the theatre room, she said she knows who I am and wants something from me. I found an exit and ran away from her, but then she caught up to me and I got slashed all over the place. She also said when the time comes, she will take something away from me, but she won't say what, hence the reason why she doesn't want me to leave."

Sasuke was bewildered at what he heard. This girl really intended to hurt her. But how the hell did she know who Sakura was? Sasuke told her, "We need to get back to the other two, for some reason they think you're dead."

Sakura wasn't surprised, she then asked, "What did she tell you?"

"She wasn't going to let you go until she got what she needed." Sasuke answered, looking straight ahead. Sakura wondered if Sasuke had any clues about the girl and what she was and cautiously asked, "You know this girl, do you think she's human, because I don't know what to think about her."

She looked at Sasuke's emotionless eyes awaiting an answer, but none came as he was busy dwelling in his own thoughts and Sakura left it there seeing the dazed look in his eyes. They both walked silently back to where they the building had first collapsed and Sasuke had kept glancing at Sakura from the corner of his eye, making sure he wasn't hallucinating or something. Itachi and Deidara looked up in shock as they saw Sasuke and Sakura walking back to them. I bet those two gave up after 2 minutes.

"Where the hell were you?" Itachi had gotten up from his resting position, anger obvious on his face. Sasuke stood behind Itachi, Sakura answered while fiddling with her hands, "I don't really know, I woke up and I was in this building and then Sasuke found me on the other side of the island."

"If that's the case, why do you have scratch marks all over you?"

"I got into a fight with a bear that I tripped over by accident," Sakura lied, she wasn't going to tell them about her encounter and there was no need. It was better if they didn't know. Itachi narrowed his eyes at her then gazed at Deidara who simply shrugged his shoulders. He sighed and joined Deidara's side. Sakura walked away from them observing the rubble of the building that had once crashed, thinking what could have happened to her if she was in there.

Itachi had taken out some water Deidara had gotten from god knows where and at the same time he had activated his sharingan to see what damage had been done to Sakura. He nearly choked on seeing the developing baby inside of Sakura. Deidara got ready to slap his back, but Itachi hissed at him, "Don't you fucking even dare touch me!"

Deidara immediately retreated from him with his hands in the air. Sakura and Sasuke both looked towards him, wondering what made him choke. Deidara asked him, once his coughing fit was over, "What the hell happened to you?"

"Nothing, I just swallowed the water wrong," Itachi told him quite irritated and had a dark glare in his eyes. Deidara eyed him, knowing something was wrong, but he let it go. Itachi would tell him when he wanted to.

He couldn't believe that Sakura was hiding something this big from him. His child was inside of her and she didn't even try to tell him once. He was literally going to punish her for this. He decided to leave this for now and question her later. Apart from that, he could see she was low down on chakra reserves and on blood. When he was going around the island, he had noticed that there a few houses that weren't completely destroyed. Sakura wouldn't be able to travel with them and would be a hindrance to them and the mission.

He then told them all, "We will rest before we head to Rin, since none of us has had any rest at all and low on chakra. There are empty houses nearby that we will stay in."

After a few minutes of thinking, they didn't see any downfalls of this and agreed with Itachi. They followed him and reached a medium house that would be enough to fit them all in. They all walked into the house looking at their surroundings. There was a small hallway leading to some stairs. On each side of the hallway, there was one room, on the left, the room was quite empty which another room joined to it. On the right was the living room joined to the kitchen. Upstairs, there were two hallways, one on each side of the stairs. There were two bedrooms in each hallway, quite spaced from each other. Each room had their own toilet and bathroom. All four of them walked into the sitting room and dumped their bags onto the floor, Sakura sat down on one of the sofas and Deidara sat on the other one. The Uchiha brothers decided to stay standing.

Sakura realized how dirty she was from the mud, blood and sweat that had contaminated her skin, "I'm going to go to one of the rooms to take a shower, if they work."

She then left them and walked upstairs slowly, afraid she would break the old wooden stairs. Luckily for her, she had an extra pair of clothes in her bag. The bedroom had one double sized bed in the middle and a chest drawer next to it. In the middle there was a small table with two chairs around it. For an old place, it looked quite…new… and well kept. She first went into the shower and turned the knob to see if it worked, and to her relief it did. She dug around in her bag and took out a red tank top and black skirt that was way above her knees. Luckily, her long boots covered up most of her legs. She looked in the wardrobe on one side of the wall and was surprised that there were clothes folded neatly into them. She looked through them, and assumed this room belonged to a couple. At the bottom she saw a couple of cream towels and grabbed one, examining the towel if it was usable. It smelled freshly clean and deeply soft.

She walked into the bathroom and removed her clothes, leaving them on a rack. She went in and turned the knob she waited for a few moments until the water was just hot enough. As the water hit her skin, Sakura felt calm and her muscles relax since her encounter with the girl. She could feel all of the dirt and grime coming of her body and in her hair. She had healed all her wounds from before and no scar remained on her perfect skin. Steam had built up on the glass walls and it was impossible to make out anything outside during her shower.

She heard a hard knock on the door, confused she asked, "Who's there?"

There was no answer and she shrugged her shoulders, thinking the noise came from somewhere else. A few minutes later, she heard the same knock again and the door handle being opened. She rubbed the steam away from the glass to see, "Who's there?"

"Guys, stop it, it's not funny." There was no answer, and thought the guys were playing tricks on her. Thinking nothing else was going to happen, but seriously pissed off, she resumed her shower. Out of the corner of her eye, she could have sworn she saw a face in the steamed glass, and when she looked there was nothing. Sakura gulped, knowing something was going on. She ignored the feeling and finally finished her shower. This time when she looked at the spot where she rubbed the steam off, the girl was staring at her, her sharp teeth showing through her evil smile. Sakura gasped loudly and rushed out, wrapping the towel around her. The little girl's reflection was seen in the glass, though she wasn't anywhere in the bathroom.

The girl spoke, her voice soft and deadly, "I told you I would find you Sakura, you can never escape from me, I will always be watching you."

"Why the fuck can you not leave me alone you bitch?" Her eyes seemed to have a murderous look in them. Sakura who was terrified shouted at her holding back her tears. She then grabbed the nearest thing and threw it at the glass, shattering it. The girl was gone, leaving Sakura sliding down the wall onto the floor. Sasuke who was left alone downstairs, heard the glass smash, and immediately went to check.

When he opened the door, he found Sakura on the floor, with her hands covering her face. He went up to her crouching down to her level, looking at the shattered glass, "Sakura what happened?"

She raised her head, her voice slightly afraid, "She won't leave me alone, she's been watching me ever since we've met."

"Sakura get up," Sasuke sighed and told her plainly. He helped her get up and lead her to the bed. He realised she was still in her towel and his cheeks turned slightly red. Her skin was wet and her hair was sticking to her face and neck. He watched the beads of water roll down her creamy skin into her cleavage. For a mere few seconds, he remained distracted by the bead of water and soon as it disappeared he came back to reality and luckily for him Sakura hadn't noticed his actions.

"Get changed. I'll be outside," he gruffly told her. He left her to get changed. After getting changed he went inside to see Sakura sitting on the bed with her hands on her lap. He sat on a chair opposite her and asked, "What happened in there that you had to break the glass?"

Sakura turned to look at him, her face grim, "I saw the girl's reflection in the glass and I got the closest thing next to me and threw it at her. She wasn't anywhere there, yet I was able to see her."

"Are you sure, you could have been seeing things," Sasuke asked, not very sure of her.

Anger was obvious in her eyes, and glared at the Uchiha, "I know what I saw, I haven't gone mental."

Sasuke figured this girl was really out to get her and was following her by some kind of sense. Sasuke suggested, "Mask you chakra, she might not find you."

"I tried, but she still found me in that cave. Maybe once I leave this island, she won't follow me, but until then, she isn't going to leave me alone," Sakura answered, her voice silently pleading for some help. Sasuke was about to speak but got cut off, "I'm going to go and search for any information on this island."

"No."

Sakura looked at him confused, "Why?"

"No, you will rest here and will not leave this bed until I say so," His voice was forceful, and it scared her.

"Who are you to stop me?" Sasuke hesitated but said, "If you don't rest, you will be a hindrance to us all on the journey."

"Fine, but after I will go," Sakura was still angry, but listened to him. She got up and climbed into the bed. Sasuke left her, but not before warning her, "If you leave, I will drag your ass back here, and tie you to the bed myself."

He closed the door and Sakura soon fell asleep, but not before noticing Sasuke's strange behaviour. A small smile formed on her face as she was happy that the Uchiha did care for her in some ways. He may have a cold personality on the outside, but inside he was still caring, in his own way.

Sasuke ran a hand through his hair, confused with his behaviour. He was treating Sakura like a teammate, but he shouldn't be at all. He should've walked away when he saw Sakura in the forest like that, otherwise he wouldn't have to see this day. He didn't want to get attached to her and fate wasn't exactly on his side as well. He decided that he would stay away from her and she should stay away from him, this would be better for both of them. Like he ignored her when they were younger, he would do the same now, nothing would change.

Itachi had called Deidara outside to talk about what he had seen, in private and away from Sasuke. Deidara asked him, wondering what was so important, "Is there something wrong?"

"Are you aware that Sakura is pregnant?" Itachi told him with his eyes staring in other direction.

"With who, Sasuke?"

Itachi smacked him at the back of the head, "No you idiot, me. Where the hell did you get Sasuke from?"

Deidara looked shocked for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"What the hell is so funny?" Itachi narrowed his eyes, wanting to know what was so damn funny.

Deidara calmed down, but talked between laughs, "I can't imagine you as a father, I swear down, you'll be so bad looking after it. I can't even imagine you having a child playing on your lap. "

"Shut it before I glue your mouth together."

Deidara stopped laughing, but still had a grin plastered on. Itachi carried on, "I'll need to talk to Pein, either he will kill me or proceed with the plans a little earlier than expected. Either ways, it's a life or death situation."

"So if Pein does decide to proceed with the plans, you won't care what happens to the child?" He then asked him, looking for some kind of reaction.

Itachi replied, his face and voice void of any emotion, "I don't care, I don't want anything to do with the child."

"It's an Uchiha."

Itachi's eye flickered for a moment before replying, "Are you going to keep talking or do you want me to beat you up until you can't talk anymore?"

Deidara shut his mouth for fear would Itachi would to him. There had been times before where Itachi had beaten him to a bloody pulp because he couldn't keep his gob shut. He eyed Itachi looking for any emotion, but nothing. You'd think he would have cared that an Uchiha would be coming on the way, but Itachi thought otherwise.
