Chapter Eighteen:

Naruto stood there for a moment, starring at the dark figure before him. Of course his friends missed him... Neither Tsunade-baa-chan, Ero-sennin, or his own Otou-san would lie to him. That ment it was Sasuke lieing to him... but why? All Naruto ever wanted to do was help Sasuke; save him from the darkness. Naruto had loved the other boy at one point... What happened?

Sasuke smirked when he saw Naruto's mouth open to speak. "Sasuke..." The blonde said, hanging his head. "...no." Came the soft anwser from the soon-to-be Uchiha. The other Uchiha was taken by surprise. Naruto had said 'no'. This wasn't part of his plan.

Instead of Sasuke screaming at him, like Naruto guessed he was going to do, he only smirked. "Naruto, Naruto, Naruto." Sasuke said shaking his head. "You're just making his harder on yourself." Naruto raised an eyebrow to this statement. He didn't understand. "If you had just agreed to come with me, you wouldn't have to get injured..." Sasuke said with the slightest sound of dissapointment in his voice. "Oh well, this was my second option."

Naruto didn't know what happened, but all of the sudden Sasuke charged at him, hitting him in the gut. While Naruto was taking the time to relize what just happened, Sasuke took one hand and pressed it to Naruto's mouth, almost pinching his nostriles shut so he couldn't breathe. As Naruto lacked oxygen, his world began to fade until he collasped into Sasuke's arms.

Sakura sat up yawning, strecthing her arms over her head. It was dark outside, she noticed looking out the window. To her right, Konan was snoring loudly. She didn't like the idea of sleeping next to Konan. It was the fact that she.. well sometimes Konan could... kind of sometimes sorta snore extremely loud. It wasn't everynight, but sometimes she did and Sakura couldn't get to sleep. She knew Naruto too snored, so how did Itachi sleep?

Sakura looked over to the boys bed, noticing Itachi sitting up, his head against the head board of the bed, and Naruto no where in the bed. She gasped slightly. "No... Naruto." Sakura threw the covers off herself, throwing them onto Konan waking the blue haired girl up, and ran over to the boys' bed. Only Itachi was here! She looked in the direction of the bathroom, and the light was off.

A small breeze fell over her, and she shivered. Wondering where the breeze came from, Sakura turned around to face the window. It was slightly cracked. Either someone came in and took Naruto or Naruto left with someone... Sakura felt the rage inside her building up. There was only one person it could have been. "You're going down, Uchiha." Sakura cursed the man's name aloud.

"Sa-ra?" A very tired voice asked sitting up. Konan rubbed her eyes, then yawned. "Wha's goin' on?" The blue haired girl asked, still half asleep.

"Konan, get up!" Sakura ordered, startling Konan. She knew right away that Sakura's voice was serious, something they picked up when becoming partners. Now even Itachi was awake, and confused. It wasn't until he noticed a certain 'wife-to-be' not sleeping peacfully beside him. "Uchiha's been here, and he took Naruto with him." said a very pissed off Sakura.

"Foolish Otouto..." Itachi muttered standing up. He made his way to the window, opening it and starring out at the forest. "...I guess I will have to fight you after all..." He said to himself, almost in a whisper, but the other two heard. "Konan!" Itachi said startling both og the girl members. Konan straightened up and a loud, 'Hai?' was heard.

"I need you to head back to the base and tell Minato-sama of what has happened. We probably won't need help when it comes to my brother being the enemy, but he should know incase he wants to help. Tell Kakashi-san and Sai-san as well." Itachi ordered. Konan frowned, mummbling something about 'wanting to kick the Uchiha's ass'.

Itachi and Sakura raced through the forest, following the scent of Naruto's chakra trail. Sakura didn't speak one word in the forest, she was stuck in her mind thinking of ways to kill the Uchiha. Thinking of ways to help save her brother...

Itachi frowned. How could he have been so stupid not to notice that Naruto wasn't talking to the for four days after the Sasuke incodent. He really wanted to know now what his 'little brother' had told Naruto.

Now Itachi didn't want to fight Sasuke in the first place; he didn't want to kill someone of his clan.

It was wrong, killing your own family.

He would've never done that in the first place... Why couldn't Sasuke see that?

But if Sasuke wanted a fight, and he was using Naruto as a bait... Itachi was ready to take him down.

A/N: Heh. Yeah, I made Sasuke kidnap Naruto! :) So it seems a lot of people want me to kill Sasuke, so I am going to. By who, you'll have to find out later. In the next chapter will be a little MinaKaka back at the base, lol. Konan... :shakes head in disappointment: You'll just have to see. :P Hope you liked it! And sorry for the short chapters, but I'm hoping to do shorter chapters and then I can update quicker. :D
Lot's Of Love,
