Hmm, not many are reviewing, maybe not many people like the fic. Oh well, maybe I can change some of your minds.
Disclaimer: I forgot to put this in the first chapter. I DO NOT OWN NARUTO. Happy?
Chapter 2:
Sakura's conscious was trapped between sleep and reality. She enjoyed this feeling of being half-awake it was relaxing. What was also relaxing was the steady rhythm of gently falling up and down…wait. Sakura's eyes snapped open and she quickly made to jump up. She instantly realized her body had been paralyzed. After quick configuration she calmed down and began looking about.
The only part of her body she could move was her eyes, so she didn't have much of a viewing range. She could see she was high in the trees jumping from limb to limb. She looked down and saw a pair of feet, and when she looked up she could see black and red fabric. Her mind boggled to remember last night, or the night she could last remember. Who knows how long she had been out.
"Finally awake," her carrier commented. The voice sent chills down her spine, and goose bumps to appear on her skin. The voice was so familiar, yet so distant. Sakura searched through her memory, and came to a startling conclusion.
"I…Itachi?" She squeaked. He didn't answer, making her even more freaked out. Several minuets later, Sakura finally worked up the courage to speak again. "Where are you taking me?" She did her best to sound strong and not intimidated. It must have worked because he answered her.
"To the Akatsuki HQ," he answered. Sakura's eyes widened. The Akatsuki HQ, she'd rather have Itachi kill her right then and there. Of course, she didn't voice her opinion. She didn't want to give him any ideas.
Naruto stood before Tsunade, eyes full of surprise and anger, hands clenched into fists and trembling.
"What the hell do you mean?" He demanded. Tsunade looked at him miserably, her eyes were full of anger and regret.
"Sasuke has kidnapped Sakura," she answered bluntly. Kakashi's eyes shone with rage, and a glimmer of sorrow for his former student. Naruto let out an angered cry.
"Ugh, I don't believe this!" He punched the wall, "that bastard's used us AGAIN!"
"Calm down, we'll find her," Kakashi reasoned. Truth be told, he didn't know if they would ever find Sakura, or for that matter that Sakura even wants to be found. After all, even now she was putty in Sasuke's hands.
"I'm assembling an ANBU unit to start looking for them," Tsunade announced, shuffling a few papers about as an excuse to not make eye contact. Naruto stayed silent for a few moments, his cerulean eyes narrowed in thought. Finally he looked up directly at Tsunade, she could feel his determined gaze.
"Put me on an ANBU unit," he requested. Tsunade's head shot up, and Kakashi's eyes widened in surprise.
"Naruto…I don't thin-"
"Don't give me that crap!" Naruto shouted, cutting Kakashi off. "Put me on an ANBU unit, or I'll go out looking for her by myself!" The air became thick with tension as the adults weighed their decisions. Tsunade heaved a sigh.
"Fine."

Hinata sighed as she leaned against the railing by the Hokage faces. Naruto had promised to meet her here at 12pm. It was now 2. Her head perked up as she heard footsteps approaching. She looked around hopeful for it to be Naruto, but all she spotted was an ANBU member wearing a fox mask. Not caring if she was rude or not she turned her back to the stranger and gazed up at the stone faces.
She knew Naruto yearned to be the next one up there. She had always watched him gaze up at the past Hokages. He'd be stand there for hours staring unblinkingly. From a distance she'd watch with curiosity. So badly he wanted to be the next Hokage for respect, but she had this feeling that maybe that wasn't his only goal as Hokage.
"Hinata." She quickly turned around at the sound of his voice and saw the same ANBU as before. With a jolt she realized it was Naruto.
"H-hey," she greeted nervously. Naruto was a bit shocked that she wasn't mad. "W-when did you became a-an ANBU?"
"Just now," he answered. Hinata shivered at the hollowness of his voice. "I'm leaving on a mission right now…sorry I was late." After saying this he disappeared in a poof of smoke leaving Hinata in a state of surprise, confusion, and hurt.
Sakura remained silent from fear the rest of the journey. She couldn't move so she couldn't escape, and even if she could move she'd be killed before she got anywhere. Itachi didn't speak as well. He didn't need to waist his words on her.
"We're here," he announced flatly as they landed in a dark clearing. Sakura looked forward, she didn't seen anything. The only thing there was a flat circular clearing with small specks of light shinning through the canopy of trees, and a few dead leaves on the ground. She wasn't about to question it out loud though.
"Its about time." Sakura froze up in surprise an fear at the sound of the new voice. Suddenly, as if coming out of thin air Kisame appeared before them. "So you've captured the demon girl."
Okay peoples, I don't know if this story is bad, or good, or horrible, ANYTHING! I've only got ONE review (thank you, by the way.) I posted this chapter to tell you, unless I get some more reviews this story will be no more.

P.s. I know I said this chapter would be much longer…I lied. Maybe the next chapter will be longer…that is if there is a next chapter
