Chapter 11 I'm not talking

Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks, there standing before him was his brother Itachi. He was holding Sakura in his arms, she was unconscious. Sasuke suspected that she hit her head on something.

'Why didn't I feel his chakra around? Surely he's still not stronger than me.' Sasuke thought to himself. 'I probably didn't sense him because I was too focused on Sakura.'

They had only been staring at each other for about half a minute and then as quickly as Itachi had come, he left. 'No I can't let him get away. He's not going to gain anything from her.'

'Why is it that every time I'm on a mission I run into my stupid brother.' Itachi thought as he carried the unconscious girl in his arms. He looked down at her and thought to himself 'I bet he fell in love with her. Then she's useful for one more task.'

(Author Note: Reason 1. To gain eyesight back. 2. Capture Kyubi from Naruto. 3. Use her to kill his brother.)

Sasuke could feel his chakra draining out of him. He had been traveling for at least 7 hours and could barely feel his brother's chakra anymore. He hadn't even been this exhausted when he killed Orochimaru.

"Damn," he cursed out loud while punching the ground causing it to make a fairly large hole. His panting began to decrease as he thought of what to do.

"Would you please try to keep it down Uchiha. Some people are trying to sleep at 12am." Gaara said coming out of a bush with Neji.

Sasuke was so wound up in trying to catch up to Itachi that he hadn't realized he had come to the edge of Suna. He watched as Gaara and Neji approached him. They were probably training or making sure there were no unwanted intruders like himself. Neji he suspected was here on a mission of some sort.

"Don't tell me what to do." Sasuke snapped.

"I will tell you what to do as long as you are around my land, Uchiha." Gaara eyed him dangerously as Sasuke began to walk towards Suna.

"What are you doing here anyways?" Neji asked him.

"Nothing," he replied annoyed at his question.

"It can't be nothing if you're 7 hours away from Konoha in the middle of the night." Neji told him waiting for a reply.

Sasuke thought and decided that if he was going to get Sakura back he would need help, and who better to help than the next two closest to Sakura. "I was looking for Sakura."

Gaara and Neji both tensed up 'Looking for Sakura,' they thought "Where'd she go?" Gaara asked.

"Itachi took her." Sasuke said, Gaara's eyes took on a look of hatred as his fists clenched. Neji's byakugan automatically activated and he gritted his teeth.

"How could you let that HAPPEN!!!" Neji yelled as he ran forward and punched Sasuke.

"It wasn't my fault." he said getting up and wiping away the bit of blood that had trickled from his mouth.

"Then tell us whose fault it was." Gaara said keeping his eyes locked on the ground.

Sasuke told them the story starting from when he told her he was going to leave. He left out a few personal details, but ended the story with him punching the ground.

Gaara was cursing to himself inside his head. 'I knew this was going to happen someday. I knew that Itachi's eyes were failing him and that he probably wouldn't try to kidnap Tsunade. Even though Sakura is smart she is still not as life experienced as Tsunade. She would be perfect to kidnap, and it made it even easier when she was distracted by Sasuke and the problems she was facing.'

Neji wished he had stayed with Sakura until Itachi was killed. Yes, he loved TenTen, but a part of his heart still belonged to her. If he had of stayed with her he would have been able to protect her. This would have been easier to avoid.'

"So are you coming with me or not?" Sasuke questioned them.

"Yes," they said in unison.

"But I am going to send a message to Tsunade telling her to call for backup incase we meet the Akatsuki, and yes Uchiha we won't try to kill your brother."

Sakura woke up to find herself feeling nauseous, she didn't know where she was but knew she had been taken hostage by Akatsuki.

Flashback

Sakura felt a branch brake beneath her feet. She hit her head on an exposed branch and before falling unconscious she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist. This person was not Sasuke since he was wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it.

End Flashback

She tried lifting herself up, her head hurt like crazy but she managed to stand up straight. Summoning the little amount of chakra she had gained she healed her migraine and started to feel around the room.

As her vision adjusted to the darkness she found that the room was very tiny. It was probably only big enough for two or three more people. The floor was basically made of dirt and in the far corner there was a blanket. She refused the blanket even thought she was a little cold. She wouldn't give Akastsuki the satisfaction.

"Get Up." A voice said.

Sakura refused and after about a minute, a soft hand gently pulled her up and led her out of the room. She was surprised that the Akatsuki were being gentle, but as she walked down a narrow hallway she found that is wasn't an Akatsuki, but a boy. He was around 11 years old with jet black hair. His face was turned away from her so she couldn't see his face.

"Wait here until you're allowed to go in and don't think about running because they'll just find you again and you'll be punished." The boy explained as they stopped in front of a door, all the while he kept his back towards her

Sakura watched as he left then waited for permission to enter. She wasn't going to run away that would be stupid.

Five minutes went by and she was still waiting, she was about to turn around and go back to the room but then a voice said, "Trying to run away." Sakura turned around to see the door open. She took this as permission to enter.

Inside the room she couldn't see anyone, but she could sense their chakra. Three people were in the room. Two chakra's she recognized from a time before, but the third she did not. Itachi and Kisame stepped into view. She eyed them carefully. With Akatsuki you never knew what they were up to. The third chakra she didn't recognize was off to the side, so she wasn't worried about it, unless it tried to attack.

"Do you know why you're here?" Kisame asked.

Of course she knew, 1. to heal Itachi's eyes 2. to lure Naruto here so they could extract the nine tails from him. She didn't answer them thought.

"It looks like she became a mute," Kisame said sarcastically still watching her, "well I'm sure you know why you're here, but just to make it clear you're here to lure the Kyubi to us and to heal Itachi's eyes." Kisame explained also nodding his head towards Itachi to acknowledge his presence.

It was at this exact moment that Sakura decided she wasn't going to speak to them or help them with their plans. Even if it killed her.

I am so mad at myself and the computer. First of all the computer broke and we had to get it fixed so that took a little while and then when i was writing chapter 11 i had a brain fart so i couldn't think of anything to write and gave up for a little while and then all my homework, i had a lot of homework because school got cancelled for 3 days because of a storm. I would have tried writing the chapter at school but then i might have got in trouble which means i might not have been able to go on the school ski trip. And i really wanted too so i didn't risk it. Anyways I"M REALLY SORRY FORGIVE ME!!!!!! and another thing i do have a life and i am just acting really pathetic.
