Hey guys, back again with another chapter! hope you like it! :)

Morning had started to rise, bringing the birds songs and a warmer breeze than the night had. Sasuke stretched his legs. He always enjoyed watching the sunrise. Scanning the area he noticed they were down one teammate.

"Alright, let's give it another shot today." Kakashi sounded enthusiastic about starting anew.

Sai jumped down from seemingly out of nowhere. "I found a trail."

Sasuke eyed him suspiciously. Hearing no indication of excitment in the mans voice, monotone as always.

"Now, that's what i'm talking about! Way to go Sai!" Naruto interjected cheerfully, pumping his fist into the air. Said man gave a nod in the direction they were to head.

Their footsteps barely made a sounds as the rest of the team followed Sai. The path he took them through seem too easy to spot. As if they should have seen it the other day, picked up on something, anything that lead them in this direction. Yet as Sai and the others followed along, Sasuke slowed his pace. Something didn't seem right. How was it that Sai had randomly spotted a trail, when just the other day not even Kakashi could not find any sign of one? Where was he this morning? Not off looking for an unknown trail noone could detect, that Sasuke was sure of.

Sasuke knew there had to be another reason.

"This way."

The boy's voice was soft as he showed the rest a cluster of trees leading to a small clearing. They stood just outside of it, looking into the clearing with suspision.

Kakashi cherped up. "Naruto, Sasuke go round right and check the surroundings. Better safe than sorry before we head on."

Both ninja nodded in agreement and did what was told of them. The remaining two went the other way.

As each pair went around meeting up back where they started, they determined it was clear. Kakashi signaled for the team to continue forward.

The young Uchiha glanced to his side at the man he was so suspisiously watching. The birds had seemed to quite their songs, as the only sound that could be heard while they entered the small field was the wind groaning against the trees. All seemed still as once again a familiar chakra sent all four into a battle stance.

Sauske glowered. "Found you."

Itachi had left Sakura to her room once removing the seal, yet all she did was stare where his hand had laid itself. Confusion was the only emotion she could identify as her emerald eyes traced a pattern into her wrist. It was the same wrist Sasuke had grabbed, not so softly as Itachi had. He had roughly grabbed it and pulled her into him, just the mere memory of it sent chills throughout her body and the spot where he had touched turned to fire. She was right, it was nothing like Itachi's touch.

Suddenly, a feeling of restlessness came over her. Itachi had told her they would head out to meet the Konoha ninja early tomorrow. She didn't want to wait. She wanted to see him now, she needed to get these feelings out of her before they ruined what Itachi saw in her. Before they broke down inside of her and drove her crazy.

Everytime she closed her eyes, feelings of longing would erupt and all she could see where those dark, obsidian eyes staring right back at her.

"Rest." Her lips parted softly, speaking to herself. She needed to sleep in preperation for tomorrow.

Her dreams were just as she had expected them to be. Filled with blood and terror, yet every once in awhile a soft voice would call out her name. Sakura knew the voice, she knew it very well yet in her dreams she couldn't place it. The torture of being stuck in this nightmare with the only thing holding her sanity being this recognizable voice.

Pink hair stuck to her face as Sakura sat up in bed. There was no way it was morning already. Deciding so Sakura got up to investigate outside of their hideout.

The dirt gave a soft groan of protest as she stood upon it, making her way out the door. Sakura took her steps carefully as to not wake any of her compainions, not wanting any company as she continued her journey up and out into the world.

Cold air hit with a refreshing breeze once her body escaped the confinements of the hut. She was right, it was still dark out yet the postition of the moon had told her light would soon be upon them. With it she would, once again, attempt to end Sasuke Uchiha's life per the order of Itachi. This time she would not fail him, and she would not let these feelings control her.

Sakura took a couple steps away from the small hut when she realized she was not alone.

"Itachi..." Her head slowly turned back the way she had came. There stood the intimidating Uchiha.

"Sakura. Couldn't sleep?" His voice like velvet, reminding her why she so dearly needed the fight against Sasuke to succeed with his death.

Pink hair danced around her slender body as she shook her head. "No."

Itachi walked up to the pinkette and gently grabbed a strand between his two fingers.

Sakura made no move to remove the trapped hair, as he had done it so often when it was just the two of them. "Why are you so soft with me?"

The question seemed to be summoned out of nowhere, and before Sakura could stop her thought process it was already out and tumbling around Itachi's head. She had always wondered why he was feared by all others yet when it came to her his touch was gentle, almost as if it wasn't there. Yet she had never thought she would step over the line set between them to ask.

The man before her didn't look as startled as she would have expected, yet he hardly showed any emotions. He wrapped the hair in his fingers.

"Isn't it obvious?" Itachi's voice was soft but full of power and possesivness. "You're mine."

Leaning in he touched his own lips to hers, only for a moment before turning and heading back inside to his room.

Sakura was frozen to the spot, allowing only her fingers to move where Itachis lips had landed. The differences between Itachi and his younger brother were growing more and more every minute. Once again, Sakura felt nothing when she touched Itachi. She was growing more frustrated. She let a groan escape her lips, turning back to go inside and wait for the others to be ready to head out. The day was going to be a long one, she could feel it already.
