The Truth Shouldn't Always Come Out
Chapter 29: Itachi's Girl
Everyone watched as Karin, on her knees with a now broken wrist just out of nowhere did a backbend her back now touching the ground. Sakura slowly walked up to her and pressed her heel on Karin's neck.
"Im going to make sure that you die right now."
Sakura stated and before Suigetsu could run and yell at Sakura to stop, Sakura shoved her heel into Karin's neck. The air filled with blood spurting from Karin's neck instantly killing her as Sakura's heel went straight through it but also the sky filled with Suigetsu's outraged scream a few seconds later. Sakura stared up at Suigetsu as she quickly pulled her heel out of Karin's neck.
"Oh did I kill your girlfriend?"
Sakura sneered as Suigetsu ran up to strike at her. Suigetsu stopped inches from Sakura and he was shot back through a few building walls.
"But how?!?"
Naruto screamed, he saw that but Sakura hadn't even touched Suigetsu. Sasuke saw it too and he also felt how the air around them turned deathly. His sharigan activated.
"Naruto move now!"
Sasuke yelled while pushing Naruto out of the way from nothing…well nothing that he couldn't see without the sharigan.
"What the hell Sasuke!"
"Sakura has…"
Sasuke stared at Sakura she looked normal but what were those things?!? They were chakra strings that were coming out of her fingers, but they're…
"She has invisible chakra strings!"
Sasuke yelled to everyone. Sakura's inner smirked and giggled.
"Right you are. So what's your name? You kinda look like Ita-kun."
Sasuke glared, Ita-kun?!? Naruto grabbed Sasuke but before they could do anything Itachi grabbed them and threw them to two different sides. Sasuke was thrown to Sakura who also would be dealing with Suigetsu and Itachi was taking Juugo, Naruto and Akamaru. (Nope I didn't forget that Akamaru was there!) Sasuke stared at Sakura.
"What's wrong with you Sakura?"
"Sakura isn't here right now leave a message after the beep."
Suigetsu ran at Sakura only to be stopped again but not from the chakra strings. Sasuke held his breath as he saw the sight in front of him, actually everyone seemed to have frozen. Suigetsu stared wide eyed at the gun that was pressed up against his forehead between his eyes. Sakura had easily pulled the gun out of the strap under her dress that was on her thigh. She smirked at Suigetsu.
"You shouldn't let your feelings get the better of you, because this is what happens."
Sasuke heard Sakura pull the trigger the sound feeling the air. He watched at how Suigetsu fell to the ground, only to look up at Sakura and see his comrade's blood splattered on her face and dress.
"Sasuke we can't hold off Itachi any longer!"
Naruto yelled out in anger as he blocked another attack from Itachi. Sasuke just stared as Sakura pulled the black gun up and aimed it at him.
"SASUKE!!!"
Naruto's voice yelling at him snapped him into action as Sakura pulled the trigger. Sasuke had already moved out of the way and they had all disappeared leaving two dead bodies with Itachi and Sakura.
"Damn it."
Sakura yelled out in anger. She had missed her target. Itachi only stared.
"You did your mission and you even took out another one of them."
Itachi commented as he only nodded over to the dead body of Suigetsu. Sakura's inner flipped her hair back over her shoulder as she easily stepped onto and over Suigetsu's body to get over to Itachi. Itachi watched Sakura as she walked over to him smiling and she clinged to his arm.
"Did you order our food, Ita-kun?"
Back At The Restaurant
Itachi led Sakura back to the table they had, everyone was staring at Sakura. How could they not? A beautiful woman walked into the restaurant with pink hair, but what caught their eyes the most at the people who were looking at her was the blood that was splattered on her face, dress, and slightly in her hair. Sakura sat easily down in the booth across from Itachi and he watched as she took a napkin and wiped the dirt that had stuck to the blood on her heel away. She then wiped the blood away from her face and looked at Itachi.
"So…"
Her voice rang lightly, trying to start up a conversation. She looked into Itachi's eyes and was instantly memorized by the dark coal black that looked like black liquid lakes she could drown in. No words were actually spoken for conversation between Itachi and Sakura as they ate, but just by the look in their eyes they had many things to say to each other. People who watched noticed that they didn't speak and at some points saw how one or the other would chuckle or giggle, though their lips never moved. Sakura giggled some more as Itachi started to pay for the check.
"Itachi you're so funny!"
At Konoha
Tsunade sat at her desk and she sighed from all the paperwork. Damn Akatsuki attacking her village, the hospitals were filled with bodies now recovering, some of the families not being able to give recognition to a body that was too badly injured. Someone I know could be one of those people. Tsunade thought, and one person came to mind instantly. Sakura, Sakura Haruno my apprentice could be in that hospital dieing from injures so severe that she might not even look like she used too.
A/N: I thought I should explain why Tsunade hasn't gone crazy sending ABNU everywhere to find Sakura. This is why, many people were put into the hospital due to the ambush and some people were injured so badly that people cant even place to who they are. And its hard sense she is Hokage and she has to take care of putting everything back in order.
Her hands instantly became fists and her paperwork seemed so less important now.
"Lady Tsunade!"
Shizune screamed running with stack of paperwork in her arms as she ran into the room. Tsunade stared up at Shizune her hair everywhere while her eyes looked tired with black circles confirming that she was extremely exhausted from helping Tsunade with paperwork and healing injuries.
"Shizune you look horrible."
Shizune smiled weakly as she picked up a few papers that had fallen to the floor as she had rushed into the room.
"As do you Tsunade. I-I have something- I have something important to tell you."
Tsunade started to open her mouth and-
"Sakura was taken by the Akatsuki!"
Shizune blurted out before Tsunade could ask for the news. Tsunade stared at Shizune blankly and Shizune waited holding her breath.
"What?!?"
Tsunade's voice was sharp and deadly as she stared at Shizune.
"Everyone who is in the hospital has been accounted for and Sakura is neither in the safe homes, hospital, or anywhere! Some witnesses say that she was taken."
"Witnesses?"
Shizune fumbled with the papers keeping her attention on them like she was searching from something, instead of looking at the rage filled face Tsunade now had.
"Actually more like a note…from Uchiha Sasuke."
"What about it?"
"He left a note saying that she was taken by the Akatsuki."
"Left a note."
Shizune stopped fidgeting with the paper and up and Tsunade handing her the hand written note the Uchiha had made.
"Tsunade,
Sakura was taken from the Akatsuki…Itachi had been there and…I know they have taken her…I find it that it is my responsibility to go and make a search and rescue!"
Tsunade only mumbled a few words out of the long note as she skimmed over the words that were scrawled on it. She slapped the note on the desk and she stood up. Shizune jumped and all the papers from her arms fell over the floor.
"There's more, the old team hawk that Sasuke had been stationed at Orochimaru's followed him. But also Uzumaki Naruto went to go make the search and rescue."
"WHAT?!?"
Tsunade was now running her hand through her hair in frustration and she growled under her breath. She was beyond angry, she was absolutely pissed! The Akatsuki stole the one girl she viewed as a daughter, but not only that the only man she saw as a son went to go find her! (That would be Naruto people not Sasuke.) This wasn't the time, yes she wanted to send tons of ABNU squad teams to go and find and retrieve Sakura. But with everything going on she knew she needed to think about not only her wishes and what she wanted, but what the people of Konoha needed and what they wanted. Tsunade took a very deep breath and as she slowly let it out she slowly descended back into her chair. Once Tsunade was back in her chair Shizune got onto her hand and knees and picked up the papers that were still on the floor.
"This is very stressful news."
Tsunade stated though even when she said it to her it felt like it was a understatement. Shizune stood back up and lightly stacked the papers onto Tsunade's desk.
"What are we going to do Tsunade?"
Shizune watched Tsunade pull lightly at her blonde hair as she looked over the paperwork strewn over her desk. Tsunade looked back up to Shizune and sad look in her eyes.
"Were going to have to pray that Sasuke and Naruto bring Sakura back. That's all we can do."
Shizune couldn't believe her ears.
"But lady- Tsunade!"
"Shizune my hands our tied, I want to go and do anything to get Sakura back. But I can't act like a selfish child, I have this village to think about and the people that inhabit it. Im sorry Shizune, I wish I could do more."
Miles Outside The Water Country
"I…I can't believe…that was…that was Sakura."
Naruto finished saying as they stopped. Sasuke was still speechless and Juugo was hanging his head for the two comrades that had not made it with them. Akamaru was whimpering and he nudged Sasuke's thigh before putting his head under Sasuke's hand.
"She didn't even sound right."
Naruto added remembering everything that had happened in those few moments.
"Its obvious to see that they experimented on her. Who knows how many scars she has than the one that was on her back."
Sasuke stated his hand curled into fists. Juugo looked up at Sasuke small tears in his eyes but nothing shedding.
"You cant go back there Sasuke, Sakura…I think she's lost to us!"
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!!!"
Sasuke and Juugo stared at Naruto watching as his eyes kept turning from a sapphire blue to a fire red.
"Sakura isn't gone she's still there! She's my best friend, she's like a sister to me and im not going to give up on her like that!"
Naruto roared his teeth becoming sharp and his hands becoming like claws. Naruto was trying to control his anger and the Kyuubi's power.
"Naruto."
Naruto glared at Sasuke his claws in fists.
"Naruto we cant save Sakura right now."
Sasuke stared at Naruto and watched as Naruto's expression turned from rage to a sign of pain and sadness.
"But-but, Sakura-"
"Sakura wasn't there when she killed Suigetsu and Karin, someone else was. If were going to help Sakura, I think…were going to have to leave her here for a little while."
Naruto's eyes went back to being a sapphire blue and tears started to fall from his eyes. He was shaking his hands never unclenching from being fists.
"I don't care im not leaving."
"Naruto you know im right, and you know that you cant stay here. She would find us and kill us now that they know that were here! The best thing right now for both Sakura and us is to leave, go back to Konoha and make a plan. Because we can't just go up and face her like we did just now. And I understand how you feel about her, Sakura is important to me and I don't want to leave but I know that in the long run its going to be the right thing to do."
Sasuke looked away as he finished his small speech and he kept his head down.
"Alright."
Naruto's voice was barely above a whisper, and it took minutes for him to get that one word out of his mouth. Though to everyone it actually felt like it took hours for him to say.
At The Akatsuki Base
Itachi walked into the base still linking arms as they walked down a hallway. Sakura stopped knowing that the hallway they were walking down was the one that would lead them to her 'room'.
"Come on you have to be restrained."
Sakura crossed her arms and tapped her foot.
"Im not going back in there."
Itachi fully faced Sakura and stared down at her.
"You don't really get a choice."
"Can't you just let it slide for one night?"
Itachi sighed and shook his head.
"Even if I said that you didn't have to spend the night in that place where would you sleep?"
Sakura's face beamed and she latched herself back onto Itachi.
"I'll sleep with you in your room!"
Itachi in one day realized that he has had more physical contact with Sakura than with anyone sense he joined the Akatsuki.
"Come on Ita-kun can I?"
Itachi looked down at Sakura's inner pouting up at him. Now really what was this, her using her feminine charm against him. That just wasn't fair to any man who would have to face her. How was he going to say no. And he couldn't.
"Follow me."
Itachi's Room
Once Itachi opened the door to his room Sakura instantly ran and started jumping on his bed.
"Haha this is so fun!"
Sakura giggled as she jumped around, watching as Itachi went to his closet to look for clothes to change out of and to give to Sakura. Itachi handed Sakura a pair of his clothes and he pulled off his jacket. Sakura turned around and Itachi brushed Sakura's hair over to one shoulder. He slowly pulled the strings to the back of her dress and the dress fell to the floor. Sakura pulled his shirt over her head and when she got stuck Itachi helped her. Sakura's head popped out of the shirt and she giggled before she pulled up the pants she was also given. Though she didn't fit Itachi's things the pants stayed at the end of her hips. Itachi left the room and changed in his bathroom and once he returned he found Sakura curled up under the blankets. He slipped into the covers of his bed the lights already off and for awhile he listened to Sakura's breathing. Sakura flipped herself over and curled herself into the warmth radiating off of Itachi and she rested her head on his chest. At first he stayed tense but once a few minutes passed he eased up and slowly stroked Sakura's hair.
"Ita-kun…I was awake that night when you named me. I didn't lie when I said I like you the best. Do you want to know why?"
I thought she was sleeping now? Itachi thought as he still stroked her hair.
"Why Sakura?"
"You have a heart."
Sakura placed her hand where his heart would be and Itachi winced.
"You have a heart and I know it. Or would you have done the same the night you named me to someone else?"
"No…I wouldn't."
"See, that proves you have a heart. Because to have emotions you need a heart. You have emotions you care Itachi."
"Just go to sleep Sakura."
"Okay, goodnight Itachi."
Okay people this is the end of the chapter. As you know I gave Sakura a gun. I will say that I can give her a gun because in the Naruto movies they have guns a cell phones and crap and this is a fanficition so I get to put guns into the mix. Also some people are asking who Lucy is. Lucy is the main character from the anime show Elfen Lied. Its really great and if you haven't seen it you should. Though you don't have too. Anyways I think this chapter well! Hope that you people agree and keep reviewing and thank you to all the people who our adding me into the favorites and stuff and also reviewing I really appreciate it! Please keep reviewing and also I will say that we my friends are starting to near the end to this story! So I am going to ask that if anyone has any pairing of Naruto characters that they want me to write a fanfic on I will gladly except the first few people. Thank all of you again!
