"Don't you dare hurt her!" Sasuke yelled at his brother. Worry was boiling up in him. He was scared; he didn't want Sakura to get hurt.

"Or what?"

"Itachi we don't have the scroll look some where else!" Sasuke yelled in hope that Itachi wouldn't search Sakura's bag.

"And I'm suppose to believe that?" Then Itachi though Sakura on the ground, Then he pushed her face into the dirt with his foot.

Sakura could taste the dirt, and the pressure on her face was starting to hurt.

"Wait! I have the scroll! Don't hurt Sakura!"

Itachi stopped pushing her into the ground. Sasuke took out a kunai knife and though it and Itachi's face. He caught it, and then pulled Sakura up. He face was covered in dirt and bruised. Itachi held the knife up to Sakura's neck and cut a small slit. Red blood dripped out. Sakura could feel the sharp pain and could feel the red liquid dripping. She was going to be strong this time. She wasn't going to cry. He eyes were brimming with tears. Sasuke saw her like that and it broke his heart. He couldn't stop him.

"good throw little brother" he said meaninglessly.

"but that isn't going to stop me from hurting her." Then he punched Sakura in the stomach. Sakura felt the hard impact. Her stomach was sore. More tears ran to her eyes. The sorrow and pain melted together inside her. Sakura Couldn't take it she let the tears fall. Sobbing a little bit she looked at Sasuke. Sasuke saw her. I have to save her! He thought and rushed at his brother.

Itachi punched him away; in the air Sasuke did his fire jutso. Itachi just move aside.

"Is that all you got? It's going to take more then that to save her" Itachi said as she pulled Sakura's hair. Sakura let more tears fall. Her head was sore now. All over she was hurting. She fell to the ground. Blood leaked from her hair and her neck, tears mixing with the san on her face making it smudge.

"SAKURA" Sasuke yelled out to her. Then Sasuke threw two kunai knifes with strings attached to them. Then hit Itachi on the arm. It was a special knife that didn't miss; it went though Itachi's hand when he tried to catch it.

He saw the confuse look on his brothers face then he did his fire justo which ran up the string and it hit a clone of Itachi. Itachi cloned himself so the clone would catch on fire not him.

"Itachi, orochimaru needs you" said a gray haired man that popped out of no where.

"We'll finish this later brother, but your girlfriend is finished already" Itachi said as he turned the weak Sakura over and threw a knife though her stomach. Then he left with the grey haired man.

Sasuke ran over to Sakura and removed the knife. He saw her and tears started running down his cheeks for the first time since he was eight. He held her in his arms. The blood soaked on to his shirt. Why does Itachi have to kill every body he loves? He held her tight, and cried. Sasuke looked her in the face. Her eyes were closed and dirt all over her face drenched with her tears. Her hair everywhere blood leaking down from it, Bruises every where.

"Sakura, I don't know if you can hear me, but don't go! You're the first one I loved don't go! I would be nothing with out you" Sasuke said between sobs. Then he picked her up gently and carried her all the way back konaha hospital.
