Arranged Meetings

Disclaimer: I don't own naruto, only the plot in this story

Sorry for another long update, I found that I only really have time on the weekend so it will take me a week probably to update each story

Chapter 6

Sakura was thinking about her decision while Itachi ran off. Was it smart of her to go with the killer instead of back to safety with Sasuke? Couldn't they just say it didn't have to happen and she would be safe?

She was tempted to throw herself ofF and go back, but this was an S-class criminal we're talking about he could easy catch her.

She sighed. What was going to happen to her now?

Itachi was wondering what was going through her head, was she questioning her choice? Was his younger brother really worth that much to her?

He didn't know why he smirked when she chose him. He guessed he was sort of glad that he took another thing away from his brother.

He was distracted out of his thoughts when he heard her stomach rumble.

Oh great, she's hungry.

He continued on, pretending he didn't hear it.

Sasuke stood there with his hands shaking. He clenched them, then unclenched them. He thought about going after them, but where would that lead him? Sakura was smart, she would probably figure out stuff he didn't want her to know. The stuff that he didn't want anyone to know.

I bet Itachi's doing this on purpose.

He thought, wondering if he took over Sakura's mind, with the sharingan (don't know the name of Itachi's sharingan sorry).

He looked behind him, and then started slowly to follow his brother again, making sure not to get to close for him to notice.

"I hope he didn't bring his partner." he muttered, remembering the last time he had met Kisame. Why must he have a partner who was a part of the shark clan?

Naruto woke up in the morning, still a little upset that Sakura was gone. He slowly made his way towards the cupboards and pulled out some instant ramen, he wasn't going to let this get in his way of training.

"At least Sasuke-baka is going to be there." he said as he closed the door behind him and locked it.

When he got to the bridge he saw Kakashi standing there early.

"What's going on?" he asked. Thoughts through his head of all that could have happened.

Kakashi sighed.

"Sasuke's gone missing," he said looking at Naruto.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SASUKE'S GONE MISSING!" Naruto shouted, shocked at the fact that Sasuke was missing.

"Shhh. Not so loud Naruto." Kakashi said hoping that his fanclub wouldn't come over.

"Does the old hag know?" Naruto asked referring to the Hokage.

"Yes."

"Do you think he tried to go to Orochimaru again?" Naruto asked, remembering the time when he had to go chase him down and bring him back.

"Probably not, we don't really know where he went." Kakashi said trying to be positive.

Naruto started to panic, two people went missing from his team. Was he going to be next? Was it becuase of the fox demon that this was happening?

"What if it's a kidnapper and I'm going to be next? He could have used some special jutsu that allows him to do this!" Naruto started to go crazy.

Kakashi sighed and walked over to Naruto.

"Calm down, we're going to have to cover this up somehow."

"Well then I'm making up the excuse because your excuses suck Kaka-sensei." Naruto tried thinking of something that could have happened.

Sakura was hoping her stomach wouldn't rumble again, she was really hoping that he didn't hear it the first time.

Yeah right, what are the chances of that?

They had been travelling for nearly 3 hours now, and it was starting to approach nightfall. Her stomach still hadn't rumbled since and she was hoping it was going to stay that way.

He stopped so suddenly that Sakura almost choked him from her arms around his neck.

He let go of her legs, and she let go of her grip on his neck so that she would fall down to the ground.

As soon as she hit it, she almost fell over from not walking for a while.

Itachi smirked as he sensed his brother's chakra stopped.

So he is still following us.

"I'll be back," he said heading off into some random direction.

Sakura sat there. If she hadn't just told Sasuke that she was going with Itachi, and then she would of ran for it, but since she had, she stayed.

Her eyes started to feel heavy and Itachi still wasn't back yet.

Where is he?

She thought, but she really couldn't dwell on it for her eyes where starting to feel too heavy and she slowly drifted off.

Sakura's dream

11:17 pm

Some random place

Sakura was talking with Itachi about something, they both seemed so much older. From Sakura's guess she was about 21, or somewhere around that age. She didn't recognize where she was, and she had no clue why she was still with Itachi.

Have I still not broke the arrangement with Itachi?

She then turned around and saw Sasuke standing there.

She left the room leaving them together. Itachi was smirking again and Sasuke ran at him with a kunai in his hand.

Her dream slowly faded away as she woke up. Someone was shaking her. It took her a while for her eye's to focus, but when they did she saw it was Itachi.

"Nani?" she muttered still trying to stay awake.

"We have to go." he said, "We need to be in a safe spot to talk about it, so that no one can hear us." he said motioning towards the forest.

Sakura looked over there but couldn't sense anything. It was still dark out, so her eyes were useless. By the time she looked over to Itachi, she was all of a sudden in his arms and he was moving on.

Sakura was trying to figure out who was following them. It didn't cross her mind that Sasuke would continue on, from what she knew of what he thought of her, she was annoying. He wouldn't have continued on.

For some reason which she really didn't know why, a blush started to creep along her face at the fact that Itachi was holding her in bridal style.

He looked so much like Sasuke to her, but yet totally different. Right now, he didn't seem like the heartless killer that slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan, the person who made Sasuke so heartless or the S-class criminal. He just seemed like any other person.

Sasuke was about to drift off when he sensed them moving again. He slowly got up and started following them, he was finding it hard to keep up. Itachi was going extremely fast, it even seemed so much faster than Rock Lee.

But he couldn't leave her with him, he was his brother after all. He was almost positive that after he was done discussing his "business" with Sakura, he would kill her. Sasuke couldn't let that happen, not while he was still alive. She was the only person that helped bring light into his dismal miserable life, although he didn't show it and had always put her down, he was waiting for the right moment to tell her.

And something inside him told him that that day was coming faster than he wanted. He was only 15 after all, but with telling Sakura his feelings he could finally knock off that annoying Yamanaka girl.

Itachi's chakra was slowly fading from it's strong vibe to a weak one. He couldn't lose her to him, it seemed like he had never gotten his way. He couldn't let another thing he loved to be destroyed by Itachi again. Not this time.
