Chapter 10

"To Feel Freedom Once More"

(Sakura's Point of View)

The crisp cool air of the morning seeped into her skin, and she involuntarily shivered with the cool morning breeze. She felt a weight settled on her chest, and for a brief moment she felt frightened. She cracked her eyes open and stared down at the unruly charcoal locks they were splayed across her chest. She let out a breath that she didn't realize she was holding, and she ran a hand through Itachi's messy locks.

Cloudy ebony eyes stared at her sleepily as he lifted himself off her chest, and she sat up searching for their clothes. "Today is the day," she said pulling on a pair of the camouflaged pants and tossing the shirt in Itachi's lap. A button on the shirt got tangled in his bangs, and Itachi let out a low hiss. Sakura didn't say anything just made her way over to him freeing him from the button that put a damper on his day.

"Alright, remember what I said about not moving around if we run into any of the patrols," she whispered as she changed the dirty bandages on his eyes. "I remember," he mumbled enjoying the feel of her warm hands on his face. "Oh, and Itachi, if I say run you keep running. Don't stop for anything you just go, and do the best you can if I'm not by your side," she said as they were making their way out of the cave.

They did fairly well within the first hour, hadn't ran into many patrols, and everything went as planned. It was about four hours later that they ran into a major problem, and everything took a turn for the worst. They had come across a small patrol of two men, and as they were about to leave one of the guards wanted to see their faces.

"Why would you need to see our face," Itachi asked calmly, and for a brief second Sakura froze. "It turns out that the little pink haired bitch took out a team last night, and when their bodies were found they were completely naked," the guard said raising his mask.

Fuck, she thought to herself looking at the two guards, well, this was going to put a damper on her day. She casually walked back to Itachi, and she grabbed him by the arm, "Run," she hissed in his ear as she turned to face the other two men. "Man, I gotta take a piss," one of the guards mumbling making his way into the bushes, and as soon as he left it began.

She moved in quickly silencing the guard to the ground they were now struggling for the radio. She heard Itachi shuffle his feet before becoming even more agitated with him, "Go, if you don't go now than neither one of us stand much a chance," she growled before head butting the guard.

She heard him start moving away from the struggle, and then Sakura began stabbing the guard over and over again. She muffled his screams with her arm after silencing the radio, and then she left him there. She waited in the brush nearby for the second man in the team to emerge.

(Itachi's Point of View)

How many of them had she killed so far, it was so odd to think of sweet little Sakura murdering someone, but then again he never could imagine having sex with his little brother's best friend either.

Things were beginning to get extremely complicated, and he knew that there would be no way that either one of them could go back to their normal lives. He hated not being able to assist her with every fiber of his being, to tell you the truth; he was pissing his own self off.

To be rendered useless was not something he enjoyed, to depend on another for guidance made him even angrier. Eventually he stopped and waited for Sakura because he had be wondering around amisly for the past ten minutes. He heard someone coming, and he turned in the general direction waiting for whoever it was to emerge.

"We have to move fast," Sakura told he grabbing him by the arm. "What happened Sakura," he inquire as they began to pick up speed, she was ignoring him moving them farther and faster throughout the Forrest.

(Sakura's Point of View)

It hurt, oh god it hurt bad, her thigh was throbbing, and she muttered curses under her breath as the Forrest began to become denser. They were so close, so close to freedom, and she wasn't about to stop now. Not after all they had been through quitting wasn't an option, she hadn't meant to make Itachi angry by ignoring him. She didn't want to worry him, the bastard guard had got her good, stabbed he as deep as he could in her upper thigh.

It was bleeding continuously as they moved, and soon they were out of the Forrest on a dirt road. Only a few more miles to a phone, and they could go home. She could feel her body as it begun to grow weaker from the blood loss, but she ignored it pressing forward and tugging Itachi along with her.

Her eyes began to grow heavy as they neared a little gas station, nothing much but there were lights on so there was hope. She saw the headlights behind them, and so she ran dragging Itachi with her. Only a few more feet she told herself, her body protesting in both pain and lack of blood. She ignored it with the sound of the ATV engines getting close both her and Itachi began banging on the door with their fists.

That's went it happened the sound of a gun going off, and the moment the door opened. She felt her body fall forward, and she released Itachi's hand. She could hear him calling her name frantically, but there was nothing that she could do. She couldn't talk or move the only thing that she could do was stare into the bright florescent lighting above her eyes. She could hear voices, but she paid them no mind opting to succumb to the slumber that was calling her name.

(Itachi's Point of View)

His heart stopped the moment he felt her release his hand, and so he called for her but there was no response. He had heard it, the distinguished sound of a shot gun firing, and the only logical explanation was that it had hit Sakura in the back. He fell to his knees, pulling the goggles from his face, and feeling blindly for her.

He pulled her into the small establishment telling the owner, to call an ambulance, and so he did. He begged her to say something, anything, but there was no response. He held her in his lap, asking the store keeper to dial the number to his cousin's office in the force.

In matter of hours, swat cars arrived, scourging the woods searching for the abandoned home that both he and Sakura had been kept in for a matter of only two months. They found the place but they didn't find Orochimaru, and the most disturbing thing they didn't find was Kabuto's body.

He answered question after question, and when it was all said and done he stayed there by Sakura's side waiting her to say something.
