Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, they respectfully belong to Kishimoto-sensei (is that right?) (I remembered! Ha:3) But I do own Seido Reiki!

Sakura's eyes fluttered open. She sat up and looked around. Apparently she was in a 4-walled storage room, which means no chance of escaping whatsoever.

"W-where am i?" Sakura started, rubbing her head. "W-what happened?"

I was with Sasuke… he was fighting the ninja and then… Sasuke! Was he okay? Sakura tried frantically to find an exit.

"What you're doing is useless…" A voice came from behind her back.

Sakura turned around. "What?"

"So this is Sakura-san…" The figure walked out of the dark.

"W-who are you?"

"I didn't think I would get the chance to see you Sakura-san, I am Uchiha Itachi," Itachi smirked.

"U-chiha… I-itachi? You mean… you're Sasuke-kun's brother?" Sakura stuttered.

"I have to say my little brother has good taste in women…" Itachi mumbled as she reached out to place his fingers under her chin, making her look up. "You're pretty,"

"Get your hands off Uchiha." Sakura glared at him.

Itachi smirked, "Feisty one aren't you?" He stood up, "I think I'll keep you…" He then disappeared.

Sakura sat in her place, "H-how did he do that?"

-

Reiki walked into the room, she saw Sasuke looking out the window with the same faraway look in his eyes.

"You haven't slept a wink haven't you?" She started, making Sasuke turn his head.

"Why do you care?" Sasuke snapped.

"Look Sasuke, I know she's alright. She can take care of herself, I'm sure nothing will happen to her. So will you please—" Reiki was cut off.

"I'm not thinking about her, I'm thinking about Itachi." He simply stated.

"Say what you want… I know you're thinking about her," Reiki mumbled.

"Hn."

The door creaked open. "Hey Sasuke-teme! Phone call for you!" Naruto screamed into the room.

"Phone call?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah for you, it's Tsunade-sama," Naruto explained. (a/n: nyihihih tsunade's using a phone!)

Sasuke walked out of the room and headed to the living room.

"Hello?"

"Sasuke is that you?" came Tsunade's voice.

"It's me."

"My sources told me that Itachi was the one who wanted your client and was the one who kidnapped Sakura,"

"Hn. Don't worry about Sakura I'll save her,"

"No Sasuke. You will not act without the anbu team I will send after you." Tsunade stated simply. "Not even with your power Sasuke. Not even with your power… can you beat your brother alone," She added.

"What do you mean I can't? Do I have to refresh your memory? I fought my brother! And I almost—"

"And you do remember how that ended right?"

"Hn…"

" But we have to act now! If we wait any longer they'll—" Sasuke was cut off.

"That is my orders. You will not move unless, I tell you so, now is that clear?"

Sasuke glared at the receiver. "Understood,"

-

"What did she say?" Naruto started bombarding him with questions as he entered the room.

"She says she'll send an anbu team here…" Sasuke trailed on. "And she told us not to act unless told to do so." He picked up his head protector from the side table and headed to the door.

"H-hey where are you going?" Naruto asked him.

"To Itachi." Sasuke simply said.

"But your Tsunade-sama told us not to act unless told to do so!" Reiki blurted out.

Sasuke stopped as he reached the door, "Like I care what that old hag says,"

-

Sakura sighed. What was going to happen to her? It had been 3 days since the incident. I wonder if they even plan to save me… What are you talking about Sakura? They're your teammates for crying out loud!

"They won't be able to find you here, except for my brother I guess," Itachi's voice came out of nowhere.

"I-itachi?"

"Don't be scared now…" Itachi snickered as he neared her, "This won't hurt a bit…" He activated his sharingan.

-

Sasuke flew from tree limb to tree limb. Finding Itachi was easy. Where else would you find your psychotic brother? Why the last place you've fought of course. Which was incidentally in the Snow country, somewhere near the palace, an old warehouse. It was getting dark, Sasuke was getting annoyed. What did Itachi want with Reiki anyway? And why did they have to use Sakura as a hostage? Sasuke gritted his teeth, that's why he hated them around. His teammates, they made him weak, they made him this "emotional". And most of all they made him care. Sasuke's eyes turned dead serious as he neared the warehouse.

They always do the fighting for me…

Sasuke landed on a tree branch and inspected the place. Knowing his brother, he began to walk to the warehouse. His brother wasn't interested in using traps and other stuff like that.

While I always hide behind their backs…

He pushed the warehouse door open and looked around. It wasn't as if anybody had been there for long. Sasuke walked around cautiously, he wasn't going to be careless.

"I knew you would come…"

Sasuke sharply turned to his right, Itachi was perched on the railings, smirking.

Sasuke growled, "Itachi."

"I guess you came here for Sakura-chan right?" Itachi eyed his brother, "Where is the girl?"

"Like we'd give her to you that easily…" Sasuke snarled.

"Well then you leave me no choice…" Itachi smirked. "Sakura-chan…"

Sasuke's eyes widened, "Sakura?"

Out from the shadows came Sakura, her eyes didn't have the bright sparkle in them at all, her eyes looked… looked very… dull.

"What have you done with her!" Sasuke growled.

"I see my little brother has a soft spot for you Sakura dear," Itachi tilted her chin up. "Now go and make me proud…" He whispered in her ears.

Not anymore… I will fight for them this time…

Sasuke remembered that day like it was yesterday. The day Sakura the little annoying fan girl earned his respect. The day she cut her long hair short, the long hair she worked so hard to grow. The day he saw Sakura as not just an annoying fan girl, but a reliable friend and teammate. He wasn't going to let anybody hurt her. Especially not his brother.

Sasuke's eyes widened as Sakura shifted to her right and charged at him. What the hell? She unconsciously took out a kunai from her pouch and threw it at Sasuke.

"Sakura! What the hell?" Sasuke yelled at his pink-haired teammate as he dodged her kunai, but then another one came, and another and another, and another. Then it hit Sasuke. "Damn." Sasuke hissed.

"Sakura Blizzard Technique!" The words flew out of Sakura's lips.

"Shit." Sasuke spat out as he got hit and crashed into the nearby boxes that sat quietly in the corner.

Sakura charged onto him again a kunai in hand. She slammed Sasuke against the wall and raised the kunai, ready to stab.

Sasuke glared at her. Why couldn't he just go and fight back? Sakura would understand. Sasuke gritted his teeth, if only it was somebody else then he would be able to fight back. Sasuke's eyes widened slightly as Sakura's eyes began to change; he blinked as he saw a line of tears flow down her check.

No! Please stop it! Don't hurt Sasuke! No! Sakura tried miserably. She just couldn't get her control back. She felt tears stream down her face. No not Sasuke please… not him…

Sasuke stared at Sakura, he turned to his brother. He was controlling Sakura! Sasuke gritted his teeth and looked at Sakura, he was surprised when Sakura nodded, slowly, because she still hadn't regained control. Sasuke blinked as Sakura smiled a small smile, a promise smile. Sasuke nodded, he understood, he gave her a punch, it wasn't that strong though. He made sure of it. The punch sent Sakura a few feet away, crashing into the nearby pile of boxes and knocked out. He turned to face his brother, static started to form in Sasuke's hands as he charged at his brother.

"This is for making me hurt her, you bastard! Chidori!" Sasuke growled as he charged at his brother.

"Hm..." Itachi smirked as Sasuke hit him and disappeared with a poof.

Kage Bunshin? Sasuke hissed as he turned around.

"Not yet little brother, I'm not in the mood to fight with you yet," Itachi smirked and disappeared.

"Itachi…" Sasuke snarled.

"Here I am little brother," Reappearing next to Sakura's unconscious state.

"Get away from her," Sasuke growled dangerously.

"No chance, brother dear, I've grown quiet fond of dear little Sakura-chan, I think I'm going to keep her a little longer," Itachi snickered as he reached for Sakura's limp form, he turned around. "Besides… I could use her," Itachi added as he started to make his way out of the warehouse.

Sasuke hissed as he tried to stand up, he was exhausted from using Chidori, it didn't come out like it used to. It was like he used all his energy in that one attack. Sasuke glared at the retreating figure of his brother.

"If you do anything to hurt her in any way, Itachi! I will kill you!" Sasuke growled after his brother.

Itachi laughed, "Let's see you try,"

A/N: Yey! Sasuke's OOC again! I think.. ahaha… and I just made up the entire fighting-itachi-in-the-snow-country thing… and the controlling power of sharingan? I don't know if that even exists! (I only watched a few episodes from up to the whole idate thing…) Oh and yes that "Sakura Blizzard Technique" thing was what she used in the movie right? Right? Correct me if I'm wrong!
