I dont know much about Itachi, so I am making this up... sordof...

Chapter Three

Sasuke was sleeping ok, until he woke up becuase of a nightmare. "There is no one but Kakashi that I can call..." Sasuke said. He got out of bed, and diled Kakashi's number. It was the answering machine. "You have reached Kakashi, Im not here, Im reading my book, or Im just too lazy to pick up. Leave a message or somthing. BEEEEPPP Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Kakashi, its Sasuke. I dont know why Im calling you, but I need to -" Kakashi picked up the phone. "Hello little comrad." "Are you reading your book this late?" Sasuke asked from the sound of his senseii's voice, he was awake.

"Thats none of your buisness. What do you need to talk to me about?" Sasuke sighed. "I had a dream. But it wasnt a dream. It felt real somehow. I was in a forest, and calling for Sakura. It was night, so I couldnt see anything. I heared her scream, and I ran the way it was coming from. I stopped, becuase I found blood on the ground. There was a moaning sound from behind a tree. But then I woke up. What do you think it means?" Kakashi was silent. Then he spoke. "Sasuke, get bandages,flashlights, a blancket and a jacket. Come to the park quicklly." and he hung up.

When Sasuke arrived, Kakashi was standing near the forest. "What is it sensei?" Sasuke

was nervous. Kakashi looked at Sasuke with a serious face. "That was no dream you had. Sakura is somewhere in the forest, held in hostage."

Sasuke's face was angry. He started running in the forest, but Kakashi stopped him. "What are you doing! We have to go and help Sakura!" Kakashi had a serious tone in his voice, like the time they were fighting Zabuza.

"Dont go in alone. Dont go in front of me, or behind. Stay right beside me. One movement or sound, be prepared." Sasuke nodded.

Slowly they walked in. Once they were in the middle of the forest, Sasuke said, "This was where I was."

Like Sasuke's dream, they heared a scream. Sasuke whispered, "Sakura..." Kakashi knew it was hard for Sasuke to stand and do nothing, while his girlfreind was being tortured. "Go Sasuke. Show me where the blood was in your dream." Kakashi ordered Sasuke.

They walked until they saw the blood on the ground. The moaning started. Kakashi looked behind the tree, and saw Sakura lying on the ground with blood around her stomache. Sasuke went by her side and held her hand. "Sakura, who did this?" Sakura opened her eyes, and replied faintly. "A man older than you, but looked like you. I saw too red eyes..." Sasuke looked at Sakura. Her eyes closed. "Sakura!" Kakashi looked around him. "Shes uncouncious. Wrap the bandages around her. And put the blanket around her."

Sasuke leaned Sakura beside a tree.Sasuke took out a knife, and garuded Sakura. Kakashi lifted his forehead protector, so his sharingan eye was in use if needed. Kakashi looked at Sasuke. "You do know who she was talking about, dont you?" Sasuke looked at the ground. "Yes.."

After about 5 min. Sakura woke up, and smiled at Sasuke. "Sasuke. Your here. But what happened?" Kakashi looked at them. Sasuke wanted to leave this place, and take care of Sakura. Kakashi nodded. Sasuke lifted Sakura up, and they started to walk back.

Kakashi still had his forehead protector on his forehead, incase anything happened.

They made it oud of the forest and into the park. Sasuke layed Sakura down on the grass.

Sakura was fully awake now, and Sasuke had wiped all the blood away. "Sasuke!" She hugged him. She started to cry. 'Its ok Sakura. Im here, and Kakashi sensei is here." Sakura looked up at Kakashi. He smiled at Sakura.

Sakura was till crying. "Sasuke... It was..." Sasuke inturrupeted. "I know. You dont ahve to say... his name"

Sakura didnt want to. She knew how Sasuke felt about him. 'First, he kills his family, and now injures me. What is that guy doing to Sasuke! Hes building more anger for him' Sakura thought angrily. She wiped away her tears.

"Why does he do this to you! He jsut makes you more hear broken about your past! Does he have any feelings! Hes just a monster that likes to kill. He doesnt care baout anyone but himself!" Sakura said angrily.

Sasuke smiled at Sakura and hugged her. "All that matters, is that your ok. But what exactly happened?"

Sakura looked into Sasuke's dark eyes. He was impatient. But he was worried about her too.

"I heared something outside of my bedroom window, so I went out to see if it was a racoon or somthing. When I got out, I saw a figure. But it was tall, so I backed away slowly. But a hand reached out and grabbed me. I tried to kick and scream but he tied me up to quickly around my mouth,legs, and hands. I started to cry, as he dragged me into the forest. The moon light revealed who it was."

Sakura looked away. Sasuke didnt care if he heared the name, he had to know the story. "Keep going Sakura."

"Itachi... took out a knife and started to cut throught my stomache. He was telling me that he wantd my blood, because he wanted to..."

Sakura looked around her. "Sasuke, Kakashi, we have to leave NOW!"

Kakashi looked at her. Sakura got up, and took Sasuke's hand. She started to cry again.
"He said he would lead you here with a dream, and he would tortue me to death until you kill Kakashi. Or die trying..."

Sasuke's eyes widend and looked up at Kakashi. He nodded, and Sasuke dragged Sakura behind, as they were leaving the park. "What are you doing Sasuke! Kakashi sensei is back there! We have to help him!" Tears flowed down Sakura's face. She started hitting Sasuke to let go of her, but she was still to weak.

"Hes stronger Sakura. I would fight my brother too, but I need to get you to safety." Sakura stopped. Sasuke turned around and saw Sakura wipe her tears away. Her eyes were angry.

"The day you said I was weak when I met you, I wanted to become stronger. I am now. Not as much as you, but I will give me life away trying to save Kakashi. If you want to stand here arguing, fine. But I want to go and help Kakashi in any way. If I am getting tortued to death, dont kill Kakashi. He deserves to live more than me. He will save the village if any danger comes. Me... I would just run away."

Sakura turned around, and left. Sasuke paused for a moment. "She has become stronger." and followed Sakura.

Kakashi was suprised to see his comrads coming back to him. "Sakrua, Sasuke, this is dangerous. I dont care if you want revenge Sasuke, you need to leave now."

Sakura looked into her sensei's eyes. The wind blew her hair out of her face. "I will die for you Kakashi."

Kakashi was impresed. 'My comrads would die for me... I have taught them a lot, but the bravery came from her own heart,' he thought. Slowly, somone came out of the forest.

Sasuke was ready scince the day his parents died.

Itachi looked directly into Sasuke's eyes. "Foolish little brother..."

Sasuke hated those words, but they were always in his mind.

Sakura felt sorry for Sasuke, but right now she was ready to help.

Itachi looked at Sakura. "My little brother's girlfriend. Thanks for leading him to me"

He then looked at Kakashi. "Kakashi... long time scince we ahve met. Have you gotten rid of that stupid book yet?"

Sakura was annoyed by him. "Hey! We are the only ones that can call his book stupid or preverted or anything!"

Itachi looked back at Sakura. "Shut up you weak girl"

He took out 5 knives and threw it at her head. She doged them, and caught one. "Thanks for the knife." Sakura said smiling evily.

Itachi looked into Kakashi's eyes. "So, you are using your Sharingan eye eh?"

Itachi did some hand movents, and Kakashi did the same. They were both using the bird of fire. Attacking the oppenate with blasts of fire for 30 sec.

Itachi doged them all, and Kakashi did the same. Itachi did more hand movements. Kakashi's eyes widend. He fell to the ground.

Sakura didnt cry, but she was angry. "What did you do to him!"

Itachi walked closer to Sakura. "Dont worry for your stupid sensei. He will wake up in about 3 days."

Sasuke blocked Sakura incase Itachi did anything. "This is between me and you. Not Sakura."

Itachi grabbed Sasuke by the neck and threw him in the bushes. Sasuke came running out with a bleeding lip and threw a windmill shuriken at him. Itachi doged it, but it came back. He doged it barely, and he got a cut in his arm.

Itachi's hand glowed and Sasuke came flying to his hand like a magnet. He started to choke Sasuke. "Foolish little brother. When I was your age, I killed a whole clan. The best you can do is throw a shuriken at me? Pathetic" He squeezed harder.

Sasuke was struggling, and all of a sudden, and group of ANBU ninjas came out of the forest and park. Iruka, Gai,Kurenai and other senseis were there. Itachi looked around, and saw about 50 knives flying towards him. He doged them all and his last words before he poofed away was, as you guessed it, "Foolish little brother. If you want to defeat me, become stronger!"

Everyone went to Kakashi's aid. Some medic ninjas checked out Sakuras stomache. It turned out that there was poison in her body, and she had to stay at the hospital for two days.

Sasuke needed air fast. They brought him to the hospital, and in a few hours, Kakashi came to visit him.

Sasuke was suprised that he was awake. Itachi said he would be awake in a couple of days. "K..Kakashi sensei?" Kakashi smiled at his comrad. "Hi Sasuke. Sakura has to stay in here for two days, but shes alright." Sasuke looked away. "After all these years, I still couldnt beat him. Not even close... I am weaker than I thought."

Kakashi sat down next to him. "You are not weak Sasuke. Your brother was ahead. And in a bad way. You are not below average. You are not average. You are not higher than average. You are a skilled. The best skilled ninja with a sharningan eye out of all the gueniens. But there is Neji, and Shikamaru is pretty smart..."

Sasuke got the idea. "Why are you awake now? And how did all the other people know where we were?"

Kakashi smiled and took out his book. "Well, I called Iruka of course. When your brother was 13 he killed a whole clan. You and Sakura coming to fight him off, would need some help. And I wasnt unconcious. I was stunned and couldnt move, but I heared everything that was going on"

Sasuke heared some people. Naruto popped his head in the doorway. "Sasuke! I cant belive you are in here! Well, I uh... hope you get better... I think... Bye!"

Kakashi went to see Sakura with Naruto.He had some flowers for Sakura. She was lying in her bead sleeping. Naruto went and gave hr a hug anyways. "Sakura! Wake up sleepy head!"

Sakura suddenly woke up and saw a blond smiling boy pushing her to wake up. "NARUTO YOU IDIOT! I HAVE POISON IN MY BLOOD! I NEED TO REST! GET OUT OF HERE!" She threw a pillow at Naruto and Kakashi backed away slowly and left.

Naruto ran out of the hospital. "I guess she doesnt like flowers..." So he decided to give them to Hinata.

A/N: I knoew that scene with Itachi sucked. He is way stronger. And so is Kakashi. Im just tired. I also did somthing else wrong in there, but I forgot.. REVIEW PLEASE
