Chapter 7
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 be destroyed by Itachi again. Not this time.
Sasuke started to run again, they where moving way too fast for him to keep up.
Damn him!
He cursed his brother for being so fast. Every time he thought he was catching up, Itachi would move with Sakura again.
Sakura was still tired from when she had dosed off alone in the forest, so it seemed almost impossible for her to keep her eyes opened, slowly but surely she started to drift off again, but her dream didn't return.
Itachi was proud of the location he found and created a clone of them and sent it off to draw his brother away from them, acting as a decoy.
Was he really that far behind?
After 5 minutes Sasuke still hadn't gone by.
Or is it he knows that that was a decoy?
He does have the sharingan after all.
He continued thinking. He was so deep in thought that he forgot to put Sakura down.
He finally snapped out when he heard a very soft quiet snore come from her. As he looked down he saw her asleep in his arms, he was about to just drop her to the ground. But then, he figured he wouldn't so he placed her lightly down and walked away to take a bath in a spring somewhere.
Sasuke saw this as a perfect opportunity. He could tell that his brother had sent a clone so he stopped, and was almost tempted to make one of his own to make his brother think that he fell for it, then he remembered that his brother always seemed to have the sharingan on so he didn't.
He started to slowly sneak over to where Sakura was, even if she didn't want to go back just yet, he knew how dangerous his brother was so he couldn't just leave her.
Sasuke saw Sakura on the ground snuggled up against a tree, he walked over hiding his chakra the best he could and slowly pick her up in his arms also in bridal style to make her subconscious mind think it was Itachi again. With that they were on the move again.
It seemed to work because she didn't seem to move he started to move at a pretty fast pace trying to gain a lead over his brother, for he knew if he found out he would really need that lead.
After a good 15 minutes of traveling he could feel Sakura snuggling into his chest trying to find a comfortable position. He couldn't help but blush, even when she was going gogo-gaga over him she wouldn't dare try and snuggle in to him.
As Itachi was slowly walking back to where he had left Sakura, he noticed that a certain pink haired girl was missing.
Itachi smirked.
So he wants it to be that way.
He slowly started to follow Sasuke's trail of chakra.
Sasuke could feel his brother starting to come after him so he sped up a little but not too much so that he wouldn't totally waste his chakra. He needed to find a safe spot for them to hide. Even Konoha wouldn't be safe because then Itachi could just take her back, and her parents didn't seem to mind as much as they should at the fact that their daughter was kidnapped by a S-class criminal, but that would be alright. Then they probably wouldn't mind if she dated or even married him.
He could feel her fidget around a bit more, and knew that she might wake up soon. It felt like it was around 3:30 in the morning, the sun still wasn't up yet.
Just stay asleep a bit longer.
He looked around for the ideal location to hide her and himself.
"Where will you run, where will you hide? Nowhere is safe from me." Itachi was catching up with his brother, he was now about 5 minutes behind and was closing in.
"It won't be long until she is.." he stopped at that sentence, realizing what he was going to say.
He stopped suddenly, his eye's opening up a bit.
Why was I going to say that, she doesn't mean a thing to me, she's only another pathetic thing in this earth that is all.
He nodded trying to agree with this statement but something just didn't seem to agree.
"Ah well, I need to catch up to them, I don't want to be betrothed to her anymore." he said and started running again.
Sasuke could feel Itachi's lead started to increase again.
Damn it, what's he planning?
He tried to run faster.
Sakura's eyes started to slowly open again.
"Where am I?" she muttered trying to look at her surroundings but they where just whizzing by.
These arms, there not Itachi's, they aren't long enough to be his arms.
But then, whose arms are they?
She slowly looked up to see it was Sasuke's arms.
NANI!
Her eyes opening wide, she was now fully awake.
"Sasuke-kun why?" she asked, the answer still unclear to her.
Didn't he leave?
Her thoughts then went to the chakra chasing them.
"Itachi-kun." she muttered but it wasn't quiet enough for Sasuke not to noticed the '-kun.'
