Because I'm so nice I decided to upload two chapters in one day! Yay! And because I'm procrastinating on my Chinese assignment ^^' but hey my procrastination means an extra chapter for you guys. Yeah I know that the last chapter was short, but don't worry this chapter will make up for it I promise! And so here is Sakura-chan to read the very sad part of this story that makes me die a little each time. (Well not really)

Sakura-chan: Hizomo-chan does not own Naruto.

Hizomo-chan: Thank you for killing me….anyway here we go!

"Wake up already! Naruto could be dead with how long you're taking to get up! I didn't even hurt you that bad…..I think" a female voice broke through Sasuke's unconscious mind. He had no idea who was yelling but all he knew as that he had a really bad headache. What had happened? He couldn't really remember, everything seemed so hazy to him at the moment. The shinobi opened his eyes blinking a couple of times until his vision was normal, looking around trying to see where he was. He was in a dark room as far as he could tell, Sasuke looked around trying to find the source of the female voice and saw the pink haired kunoichi sitting next to him a scowl on her pale face. As he blinked a couple of more times he remembered how he had ended up unconscious in the first place.

Sasuke heard something coming towards him and his two teammates and he pulled out a kunai not knowing if it was back up or an enemy. He tensed up waiting to see who it was when a kunai was thrown at him from behind leaving a wound on his shoulder. The raven haired shinobi turned around and saw the familiar pink haired kunoichi sitting on top of a tree twirling another kunai in her hand.

"What do you want? Realize that we aren't dead so you came to finish the job?" Sasuke hissed at the female. Sakura froze at his words and jumped down from the tree her emerald orbs shimmering slightly, causing Sasuke to look at her with curiosity. Were those tears? But as quickly as they came they disappeared as the kunoichi knelt down in front of the two shinobi. She removed her gloves carefully and was about to place them over Kakashi when she was slammed into the tree a kunai held tightly against her neck.

"Leave Sakura. Now. Before I kill you." Sasuke snarled at her holding the kunai closer to her neck a small trickle of blood falling from her neck. Sakura just stared at Sasuke then looked at the kunai he held so close to her and relaxed her tense state which caused Sasuke to lower his kunai. He should've known better than to lose his guard that quickly around her. The minute the kunai was away from her neck Sakura grabbed Sasuke by the arm using her super human strength and jumped over him pulling him along in the process and slamming him to the ground pinning his arm behind him holding a kunai to his neck.

"Don't you dare threaten me Sasuke. I'm not here to cause any kind of trouble….I'm here to ask for your help…I need you to help me save Naruto…"Sakura whispered as she removed the kunai from Sasuke's neck and released him putting her weapon away. The raven haired male turned around and stared at the kunoichi not knowing whether he should believe her words or not. She did just injure him, she was toying him, and she didn't care about Naruto. Sasuke made quick hand signs causing the female's eyes to widen as she quickly maneuvered herself out of the way of the fire jutsu and behind Sasuke.

"You want this to be difficult don't you? Fine" Sakura whispered into Sasuke's ear causing a shiver to go down his spine. He felt a sharp pain to his neck and felt himself lose consciousness, oh the irony she had used the same thing he had used on her all those years ago.

Sasuke reached to his side to his holster but found it missing, his move causing the kunoichi to sigh a bit as she held up what he had been looking for with her hand.

"Did you honestly think I was going to leave you armed? Give me some credit Sasuke." Sakura said as she placed the holster on the table and moved closer to the Uchiha who looked at her suspiciously. The kunoichi held her hand against his shoulder a green light emitting from it as she healed the injury she had given him earlier. The shinobi stared at her as she worked wondering if he had jumped to conclusions earlier and she was being sincere about wanting to save Naruto.

"We need to save Naruto, they can't start the ceremony without everyone present so we have time to get him since Konan is not back yet from a mission she was sent on. They're holding Naruto down below in the dungeons, it shouldn't be a difficult plan-"

"Sakura-"

"-I just can't do it alone since one person can't take out all of-"

"Sakura"

"-Akatsuki so I went to find you to help-"

"Sakura stop talking!"

The kunoichi blinked as she stared at Sasuke surprised by his more than one word sentence, she frowned at him not knowing why he told her to stop talking. They had to get the plan into action or else Naruto would be dead. Could he not understand that or did she really hit him that hard that he lost his sense of reasoning?

"Why do you want to save him? What caused you to change your mind?" Sasuke said after what seemed like a long time of silence between them. The question caught Sakura off guard, she hadn't expected him to ask that much less really speak, she was just hoping he'd go along with the plan and not really talk about her change of heart.

"I….I don't want to be like you…..worse than you….because you went back…and I can't do this anymore…I want to go back…..be with our friends…with Naruto….and you…" Sakura said softly as she looked up at him carefully hoping that her words weren't going to cause him to insult her.

Sasuke looked at her for a while not saying anything and Sakura stood up knowing that she was stupid to believe anything was different between them. That kiss by the lake, his confession, it wasn't real, she was stupid to think that it might have been. It was probably just a ploy to get her back to the Leaf, playing with her emotions that way. She should have known better than to fall for him again, it was pointless her love wasn't going to be given back the way she wanted. Sakura shook her head as she felt the tears start to build up in her eyes.

"I'm sorry; forget I said anything about you & me. Watashi wa orokada*…." Sakura said as she handed him back his holster along with the other weapons that she had removed from him.

"Let's just save Naruto. Then you can take him back to the village and everything will be fine." She said as she grabbed her weapons and began to place them in her holster as well as placing her katana in its holder on her back.

"You're coming back with us. Anata wa orokade wa nai**. What I said before….I meant it. But with my brother still alive, you know I can't risk it. Especially if you are leaving Akatsuki, that's a strong reason to want you dead. And if he finds out about….this, then you'll always be in danger as long as he's alive" Sasuke said finally speaking causing the kunoichi to look at him her eyes still filled with the tears that were going to fall any second.

"That isn't fair to me. You can't keep playing with my emotion and expect me to stay here waiting for you whenever you want! I've waited!...I-I waited five years…..I don't want to wait anymore….I can handle myself….I've been here for the last year & I'm still alive aren't I?" Sakura said holding her hands in fist refusing to allow herself to cry.

"It doesn't matter if you can take care of yourself, I don't want to know that there is chance that I can come back from a mission and learn my brother killed you, or has taken you. Do you understand?" Sasuke said as he reached his hand out towards her clenched hand placing it over her hand. The pink haired female looked up at him and nodded knowing she couldn't argue with him, because if the situation was reversed she would feel the exact same way.

"Sakura-san its ti- well I was wondering when you would turn back. You weren't exactly someone we expected to last this long with us." A voice said causing both ninjas to turn and release the others hand, Itachi had walked into Sakura's room to retrieve her for the extraction but what he found seem to be of a more pressing concern.

"Oh Sakura-san, my brother was right. You are weak, so easily swayed by pretty words and false promises. I'll just get rid of you now and then go extract the kyuubi. That's probably why you are here isn't it foolish little brother?" the older Uchiha said as he stepped forward to the two. Sakura knew she had to do something and quickly pulled out her katana and ran at Itachi, she knew he could deflect her attack but she needed Sasuke to go find Naruto.

"Stupid little girl" Itachi said as he dodged the katana and grabbed the female by her wrist throwing her with great force into the brick wall of the room. Sakura let out a cry of pain as she hit the wall, the younger Uchiha started to walk over towards her.

"Sakura!"

"No! Sasuke-kun go find Naruto! I'll hold Itachi away just go!"

"I'm not leaving you alone! He'll kill you!"

"Sasuke-kun just go! Take each left turn and you'll reach the dungeon go!"

"Sakura don't be stupid!"

"Sasuke-kun go now!" Sakura yelled as she got up stopping Sasuke from going to attack Itachi, she looked at her teammate with pleading eyes hoping he would listen.

"If you don't show up by the time I find Naruto…" Sasuke started

"I will go now! And no matter what find Naruto!" Sakura said as she shoved the younger Uchiha out of the room and quickly blocking the way before Itachi could get out. The older male smirked at her and shook his head

"You just signed your own death wish" he said as he pulled out his on sword and went at her.

Sasuke ran through the corridor trying to get through and find Naruto as quickly as he could so they could go back and help Sakura. He knew he shouldn't have left her alone to fight Itachi, he could kill her and she knew it. Why did she make him leave then? He made another left turn as he started to notice the hall getting murkier as it seemed he was getting lower towards the dungeon.

'Come on why can't this hallway end already?' Sasuke thought as he kept running when he heard a voice he knew all too well.

"You better let me out of here! You're all too scared to leave me with all my chakra so you take it away because you know I can beat all of you! Dattebayo!" Sasuke heard Naruto yelled causing him to sigh. Even when he was in danger, Naruto was still Naruto.

"Teme! It's about time! How did you get here huh? Where's Kakashi-sensei and Sai? What happened to Sakura-chan did she try to stop you?" Naruto said as Sasuke opened the cell door.

"Dobe shut up do you want to alert everyone that you're free? Kakashi-sensei & Sai are being cared for by medics I hope. Sakura was the one that helped me come down here to save you. She's upstairs fighting Itachi" Sasuke said as he took the shackles off of Naruto that were sealing his chakra. Naruto's eyes widened as this sunk in.

"Why did you leave her alone to fight him? Teme he'll kill her!" Naruto yelled at the raven haired male.

"I know that why do you think I sa-" Sasuke's words were cut off.

"Sakura-chan! What did you do to her?" Naruto snarled as someone entered the room causing Sasuke to turn where Naruto was looking. Itachi walked in holding a limp figure by their hair which took Sasuke a few seconds to realize it was Sakura. Her eyes were closed and her face was paler than it usually was cuts & bruises covering her body.

"What else?" Itachi said as he threw the girl towards them, Sasuke catching her in his arms. His eyes widened in alarm as he saw she was hardly breathing. He placed the injured girl down where Naruto knelt down next to her his face full of fury towards the older Uchiha.

"You bastard….I'll kill you!" Sasuke yelled his Sharing an eyes staring murderously at his brother.

I told you this one would make up for it! Six pages on Microsoft word. And you can tell this is how much I'm avoiding doing my assignment. But yup two chapters in one day! Love me :)

Anyway review review review!
