CHAPTER 11: Stolen or Rescued?

I ran with out turning around as I sighed, 'well since Shino is knocked out and Rocklee is well…in pain I should be fine,' I thought as I looked for Kiba. He was no where to be found at the competition area, but I found Choji laying on the found while he seemed to be in pain from being bloated. "Hey Choji where is Kiba?" I asked as he started at me as if I was no one he knew.

"He went to look for you…" he said as he closed his eyes.

"Hey did you win by any chance?" I asked.

"Yeah…." he said as he took deep breaths. I searched the area and sighed, "Kiba where could you be?"

"Sakura don't worry, I'll save you even though it risks my life. Just maybe then she will finally go out with me," Kiba said as he ran through town with a grin on his face.

Boom!!

"What the heck was that?" he asked himself as he went to check out what happened.

"Thanks for the money yeah!" Deidara yelled as Itachi followed from behind him.

"Oh my gosh…it's the Akatsuki!" someone said that was running for his life. 'What do I do…I will be no match for them' Kiba thought as someone tapped his shoulder. He turned around to face a certain Uchiha staring at him and he seemed to be in a rush from the look on his face.

"Did you happen to see a pink, haired girl?" Sasuke asked as Kiba grinded his teeth together. 'So this is the person that is tracking Sakura down…Sasuke Uchiha. What should I do…I could tell Sasuke about the Akasuki…That's it! He will then be focused on him more than her then,' Kiba thought as he nodded. "Well I might have…but more importantly I saw the Akatsuki. Your brother to be exact so if I were you I would go after him," Kiba said as he smiled.

"Just you wait…once I get back you will tell me where she is. Now where is the Akatsuki now," Sasuke said as he glared at Kiba.

"I heard that they went to the west side of town, not to long ago also to be exact," Kiba smirked at Sasuke left. "Now to find Sakura…wait she said she would come back so…Sasuke is headed to where she is if she came back!" Kiba said as he ran in the same direction as Sasuke.

"That was too easy yeah, this whole town has hardly anybody that is willing to fight us. Good thing you knew were planning on stealing money, that Kisame wouldn't have won anyways…plus I got to have some fun," Deidara said.

"Hmph, just make sure you don't mess up when I tell you too or when we are doing something important. I don't care what you do when one of them does something that foolish, I can only rely on myself to accomplish missions anyway," Itachi said.

"There is one thing you need to understand though…I hate you and I don't like this stupid organization. I would quit if I could, but I would be hunted down because I know too much…my like sucks yeah," he said as he paused and looked at Itachi. "I wish someone good could happen for once…'bump,' hey watch where you are…"he said as he looked at the person in front of him.

Sakura laid on the ground as her eyes were closed and lost conscience. "Hey, are you okay? Wow…did I hit her that bad and…her hair is weird yeah," Deidara said.

'This girl…I have seen her before. Those green eyes…' Itachi thought.

"Step away from the girl now Itachi," Sasuke said as Itachi turned around.

"Its been a while Sasuke," Itachi said as he remained emotionless.

"Shut up…hand her over now so I can finally get rid of you," Sasuke said as Kiba came running.

"Leave her alone Sasuke! She doesn't love you and you don't deserve her, just chase after Itachi! I mean you obviously want to kill him than be with the beautiful and amazing princess of the land of fire!" Kiba shouted. Sasuke glared at Kiba and walked up to him as they got into a pointless conversation.

While Kiba argued with Sasuke, Deidara and Itachi were watching them and Deidara sighed, "What is going on and what should we do now yeah?"

"Take her, the princess of fire is our ticket to our prize," Itachi said as Deidara picked her up.

"Wow so this is the princess…when they said she had strange hair they weren't kidding," Deidara took out a piece of clay and put it in the mouth of his palm. It spit out a clay bird and he tossed it in the air, it formed a giant bird that Itachi and Deidara escaped on. "Sorry yeah, but we have to go. We will take the princess too and have a great day!" Deidara said as he smiled and waved.

Sasuke and Kiba just stood there and froze, "Its all your fault now she got away!" Kiba shouted.

"Me, it was you. You gave it away that she was a princess, you have a big mouth so out of my way!" Sasuke shouted.

"Hey what about Kisame and Tobi yeah?" Deidara asked.

"I told Tobi to find another ship because of you. Lets just hurry and get that crystal, we spent too much time here," Itachi replied.

"Wha…..where am I?" I asked as I regained my vision.

"With the Akatsuki yeah," Deidara said.

"What happened and you didn't answer my first question," I said.

"You're in the sky and I ran into you and you hit your head against my fist," Deidara said as he smiled.

"Where in the sky exactly?" I asked.

"We just escaped from town and not to mention Sasuke yeah," Deidara said.

"Sasuke?! He saw me and was my dad there?" I asked eagerly.

"Yeah he did, he seemed like he didn't really care though. I mean he practically looked at Itachi the whole time and as for your dad…no," Deidara said.

"Just as I expected, my dad doesn't have the guts to save me and Sasuke is still a big jerk," I said as I sighed. "Thanks for rescuing me too miss, I would have been in big…are you okay?" I asked while Deidara just stared blankly at me.

"I am a guy yeah…." he said as I blushed.

"Really? I don't mean to be rude, but you just look like a girl…" I said as I turned my head to the other person beside Deidara. When I looked at his face I knew he was the guy at the festival, 'I really don't want to be with this guy, I agree that he looks…hot, but he still was mean to me,' I thought as he just turned his face away from me. "Hey you with the black hair, you owe me an apology from before and I think you know who I am," I said angrily as I stood up and pointed at him.

"Hey don't say that to Itachi like that…he can be really mean," Deidara whispered.

"I don't care! He was mean to me and he is now ignoring me," I said.

"Be quiet or else I will throw you off and you will die miserably," Itachi said as his head was still not facing me.

I sat back down and glared at him, 'I guess this guy also says mean stuff not just ignoring or not apologizing to people,' I thought as Deidara put his arm on my shoulder.

"Hey cheer up, some of us lose our compatibility with others because we are too busy and such. I mean thieves are not meant to be kind right?" Deidara said.

'Thieves…no wonder, but does that mean they stole me instead of rescuing me? I am confused,' I thought as he removed his hand from my shoulder.

"My names Deidara by the way and this here is Itachi. Otherwise known as Sasuke's brother and the murderer of…" Deidara said as Itachi glared at him. "Never mind…" Deidara said Itachi turned his head.

'Sasuke's brother?! No wonder he is such a jerk…it must be genetics from a mean clan,' I thought. "Hey did you guys rescue me or steal me by the way because I want down," I said as Deidara laughed.

"You're joking right? We would sell you for money before we set you free, I mean we are thieves. Plus I think I would like traveling around with you…We kind of did rescue you, but stealing is a better word in this situation," he said.

"When my dad gets his hands on you he will have you in prison…most likely executed though. So if I were you I would set me down, nicely of coarse," I said.

"The Akatsuki are the most dangerous criminals around so I wouldn't think that if I were you. Now that we have you in our grasp there is no way to escape," he said as fear struck my jade eyes.

Thanks for reading, yeah!
