Keep Holding On

Chapter Eleven: Keep Holding On.

You're not alone, together we stand. I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand. When it gets cold, and it feels like the end there's no place to go, you know I won't give in. No, I won't give in.

Keep holding om cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it though. Just stay strong cause you know I'm here for you, here for you. There's nothing you can say. Nothing you could do. There's no other way when it comes to the truth. So keep holding on cause you know we'll make it through.

So far away, I wish you were here before it's to late this could all disappear. Before the door's close and it feels like the end with you by my side I will fight and defend.

Here me when I say, when I say I believe nothings gonna change, gonna change destiny. Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly.

Sakura was more than ninty percent positive that the scowl on Sasuke's face was never going to leave. She glanced backwards at the man who was walking behind her. Itachi had set up the formation of Itachi in front, Anko, Sakura, than Sasuke. And glancing back Sakura noticed that the scowl was gone and instead the pervert was staring at her butt.

Awesome... Sakura thought. They had left the village a little over a few hours ago leaving Sakura already tired. This whole... not being an active ninja... has really effected my stamina...

"Itachi! I think we should take a break." Sasuke said. Leaving Sakura to be very thankful for the pervert she didn't really think she would be this tired.

"We've only been walking for five hours." Itachi stated simply and continued walking.

"Why don't you ask Sakura is she's tired." Sasuke bit back. Itachi turned around to see is rose haired wife was breathing heavily.

"Oh no! I'm fine." Sakura stated. She looked awful. Her face was bright read and she was sweating. Itachi closed his eyes.

"Blossom says she's fine so we continue. We can stop in another hour or so. Besides... Saku would tell me if she needed a break, the group continued on.

Anko looked from the two Uchiha men and than to Sakura. She had been excited at first about this mission they where going on. A chance to finally make sure that the bastard was dead for sure. And now here she was. In the middle of a love triangle

Lovely... the purple haired kunoichi thought.

Misaki sat with Shiro the two had there feet barely touching the water that the dock sat out into. "Are you gonna take the genin exams?" Misaki asked, she couldn't help but hope that the Hyuga boy would. She bad actually started to become very attached to the said boy.

"Only if you do." He smiled.

"Well that's silly! Why only take the test if I'm going to?" Misaki asked.

"Well mainly because... I want to be on the same team as you." he smiled at her.

"What?" Misaki blushed. Shiro smiled.

"I want to spend everyday with you Misaki-chan. I want to be able to protect you." Misaki blushed more deeply.

"Um... it's getting late. Tsunade-baa-chan is probably worried about me. I'll see ya later Shiro-kun." she said quickly getting up and running away. Shiro sighed and looked down at the water sad that she had left so fast.

"We'll stop here for the night." Itachi said, when he decided that the group had travled far enough for the day. "Anko and I will set up camp. Sasuke get some fire word. Blossom fill up the canteens."

"You should have told him that he was pushing you to hard Sakura. It's bad for your health." Sasuke said as the two walked further into the woods.

"Ita-kun knows my limitations. Not that its any of your concern." Sakura said, walking away from him and to the stream that wasn't far from where they where.

Besides... if we would have stopped everytime there I got tired we would have never made it to sound... Sakura thought to herself as he busied herself with filling the canteens.

She was unaware of the the gold colored eyes that watched her. Turning around she made her way back to camp. She froze hearing something move.

"Who's there?" Sakura yelled, grabbing a kunia out of her pouch. Sakura's green eyes widdened. "Kabuto...!" Sakura yelled in surprise.

"Wrong..." Kabuto laughed, looking up Sakura was shocked to come face to face with Orochimaru. Orochimaru smirked. "No ones here to save you... eh? Blossom."

Deidara sighed to himself. "Life is so boring with out Saku-chan..." Deidara said, he looked over at Kisame who was busy playing a drinking game by himself. "Even the brat has date, un!"

"Yeah. yeah we hear ya, UN!" Kisame busted out laughing at his own joke.

"You are insufferable, un." Deidara said.

"I'm not insffable!" Kisame said, acting as though he was hurt.

"I can't handle you right now." Deidara said, walking out of the house. The loud laughes of the sharkman followed him out doors.

Deidara sighed and sat down, looking up he watched as the orange and pinks of the setting sun where soon turning to black and stars where beginning to shine brightly.

Itachi and Anko had just finished putting the tent up, as Sasuke walked back into the clearing his arms filled with wood. "Hope this is enough. Jackass." Sasuke said, jumping up into the nearest tree he sat there waiting for Sakura to return.

"AHHHH!"

The ear peircing scream shocked the group to the core. "Blossom!" Itachi quickly took off towards the sound. Anko and Sasuke quickly followed. Coming to a stop at the river bank. Blood covered the dirt.

"He was here." All three of them said, looking at each other. Overwhelming amounts of anger surrounded the eldest Uchiha. His chakra was so overpowering the othr two ninja could barely move.

"Im going after them. Go back to Konoha... bring reinforcements." Itachi said, and with that he was gone in a swirl of black crows.
