Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, nope, I don't, I can't, must resist…WAAAAAH! I wanna own Naruto!

Who are you?

"It would be my greatest pleasure to kill you right now." Itachi said emotionlessly. Since Itachi's kunai was at Sakura's throat, she didn't feel it was the right time to question his morals. She desperately tried to remove his hand from her throat but it was in vain. "But," he continued "currently, that option isn't available to me." He said releasing her and replacing his kunai in his bag.

Sakura fell to the ground coughing. Then she suddenly realized she was able to move her legs. Almost the next instant she noticed something else as well. "My chakra…" She whispered almost inaudibly. "That's right; your chakra has been sucked out of your body." Itachi finished for her. Sakura wondered how this person managed to do that without her noticing then again, she was probably too scared to notice anything.

Who is this person? What does he want with me? Were only a few of the many questions that ran through her head. "You can do whatever you want within the confines of this house but if you try to leave you will suffer a painful death." So… that strange chakra I felt must have been some sort of barrier. Unfortunately for him, she thought happily, He doesn't know that I am trained in dissipating all sorts of barriers. Suddenly her eyes went wide with shock." With my chakra gone…" She sucked in a breath. "You have no way out." Itachi stated simply. How much does he know about me? She thought, terrified. My powers must not have been a threat for him; he knew I could disengage the barrier! That's why he got rid of my chakra! That bastard… She gritted her teeth.

"Now that you are aware of your current state of helplessness I will take my leave" Itachi said and was about to carry out his words when Sakura shouted at his retreating back. "Wait! Who are you? What do you want with me?" She was desperate for answers. "You honestly don't know?" He questioned her, without turning around to face her. Sakura was silent, this man… who could he be? Am I supposed to recognize him? He looks a little like Sasuke and he has the sharingan too… could he be? But no, Kakashi-sensei has the sharingan too and he is not an Uchiha. But still… what was the name of his brother? She didn't have a clue. Suddenly, she remembered.

Flashback-

"Itachi… I don't give a damn what you have to say about it, I swear I'll kill that bastard, I'll kill him and not you, nor anyone else can stop me." Sasuke stated calmly, coolly, devoid of any of the emotions he was feeling. "Sasuke...Sakura whispered. The rain was attacking them both but neither of them cared. Sasuke walked further into the woods, leaving Sakura to think about what he said. Because of the rain, he had not noticed the tears that were streaming down her face.

–End Flashback

"Itachi?" She asked coming out of her reverie. "Hm" and just like that he disappeared. She couldn't believe it this was her brother-in-law. Sometimes she had daydreamed that it was all a mistake and Itachi didn't have anything to do with the massacre, Sasuke would forgive him, and she would finally meet her brother-in-law. However, she never thought that it would turn out like this. Now there was no doubt in her mind that Itachi killed Sasuke's family. But, why? Why did he kill them, why did he kidnap her? Was it because she was related to Sasuke in a way? Did that mean she would suffer the same fate as his family? Her eyes widened at this thought. Then she remembered something else. "It would be my greatest pleasure to kill you right now but, currently, that option isn't available to me." What did he mean by that?

Satisfied that her life was safe, she decided to take a look around this house. She stood up and felt her way around the walls until she found a door. She turned the handle and, to her surprise, found the door to be unlocked. In front of her, all she could see was stairs. She quietly closed the door behind her and sprinted up the steps. At the end of the staircase she found another door which was also unlocked. What met her eyes beyond this door was the inside of a grand castle. "Wow…" She couldn't help herself, it was amazing. Beautiful furniture, French doors, huge windows with gossamer curtains, it had everything. Despite the fact that she was kidnapped and was probably going to die eventually she had an irresistible urge to explore this place. Suddenly she had another urge, the rumbling of her stomach.

Sasuke had decided to sleep under the stars tonight since he couldn't find lodging anywhere else. He wanted to find Sakura but he didn't have much to go on. He sighed, thoroughly irritated, there was no way Itachi was going to let him have Sakura without putting up a fight and as long as Sakura was Itachi's hostage he had the advantage. "Damn it" he muttered under his breath.

He sat in a grassy clearing in the middle of a forest. All around him he could hear crickets chirping, owls hooting, and the occasional howl of a wolf. The only light was given by the stars and the glowing embers of the fire he had built a while ago. It was already dying out. 'Maybe I should go to sleep. I hope Sakura's all right.' He let his mind wander off before he slowly slipped into a deep sleep.

"Damn it" Sasuke thought as he jumped from tree to tree. "Sakura and those stupid fan girls, when will they leave me alone." He thought angrily. Suddenly he came to the end of the forest and jumped from the last tree to the ground. He kept running without taking a break.

Suddenly he was back inside Konoha. He turned onto a side street with lots of stands.

"Fresh fish!" one shouted. "Rare jewels!" "Great bargains you won't find anywhere else!" Sasuke slowed down and continued walking through the market with his hands in his pockets. He prayed they hadn't followed him this far.

Suddenly a man grabbed his arm. "What the-?" He started "young man, would you be interested in some of my rare talismans?" He asked. "Sorry, I don't have time for this." He said looking over his shoulder worriedly. He tried to get away, but the man was still holding his arm and he had an iron grip. "Why don't you just buy one?" the man asked he held up a red one. "They're lucky. This one is quite helpful for revenge. Now the man had Sasuke's attention. "Alright, I'll take it." He sighed. "That's a good kid," the man said releasing his arm. Sasuke pocketed the talisman and was about to leave when something caught his eye. It was a green talisman that somehow reminded him of Sakura. He sighed again "I'll take one of those too." He said taking out some money. "Wise choice" the man said as he handed Sasuke the talisman.

Suddenly Sasuke heard "There he is! Look its Sasuke!" Sasuke saw his fan club and made a break for it, but after a few steps he tripped over a rock. "Kusa…" he mumbled from his position on the floor. As he sat up he noticed both talismans were broken. "Argh…" He groaned in disbelief. "But if you're not careful you'll lose them both." The man said from behind him. "What?" Sasuke asked turning around. Suddenly everything disappeared into a swirling vortex, "What do you mean!" Sasuke shouted after the man, but he received no answer.

Sasuke woke up sweating and shaking and he couldn't go back to sleep.
"Itadakimasu!" Sakura said and began eating the bowl of ice cream in front of her. 'Boy am I glad Sasuke convinced me to quit that diet.' She thought happily. When she finally found the kitchen she saw a huge fridge with the best food, and the kitchen itself was amazing too. After scraping the last bits of ice cream out of her bowl, she decided it was time for her to figure out how to escape.

She walked around numerous hallways opening doors, only to find that they led to more hallways. 'This feels like a maze' she thought opening another door hopefully. Then she found a large room with pink bedding, light pink curtains. This room was just as big as the others and the bed itself was large enough for 20 people. 'Well, this sure is a big difference from that basement, dungeon-like, creepy thing.' She thought, amused at the change in her surroundings.

She finally noticed a piece of paper on the dresser, 'What's this?" she thought picking it up. "This is your room" Was all it said. She sighed, exhausted. 'Maybe, I could just rest for a bit…No! I have to find a way out...But I don't really want to go yet, I want to explore more…No! Don't!...Besides the journey will be difficult, I should rest up a bit first… The other voice was silent. She was already heading towards the soft and luxurious bed. Somewhere inside an exasperated voice sighed "all right, but don't get too used to this place, remember, you have to get out of here." Sakura was relieved she didn't have to fight anymore and fell on the bed.

When she woke up it was already nighttime. "Kusa..." She jumped up. "Stupid Itachi… If only he didn't take my chakra." She muttered. As she explored her new room, she found there was a huge bathroom attached. "Hm…" She mused walking alongside the HUGE mirror and the sink. Everything was either made of marble or something else expensive and the whole place was in tip-top shape. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and was horrified. "I look terrible!" It was true. There was grease and grime all over her skin and clothes from the basement floor and her hair made her seem like Medusa. She decided to take a shower and began gathering the necessities. Shampoo, soap, all the hygiene things were already in the shower so all she needed was some clothes. To her dismay, everything she found was fancy silk kimonos and dresses there was nothing simple she could move around in. Finally way in the back of the huge walk-in closet, she found something ninja-ish. It was sort of like the clothes she wore except it had a collar like Sasuke's, and there was the Uchiha logo in the back. She decided to wear this since there was nothing else. She quickly took a shower resisting the urge to draw it out as long as possible. Within minutes her hair was brushed and she was perfectly presentable. "If only Sasuke could see me now' She thought happily. Suddenly her eyes widened, "Sasuke…" she whispered. 'I have to get out of here; I have to get back to Sasuke!' She thought frantically. 'How? There's no way you have absolutely no chakra…' Then she had an idea.
