Hiya! I'm back with a new story. It think I will put A pink haired girl stole my heart aside for some times because I find it a little odd. To be sincere, I feel like I can do better since my English improved a little while I was sick.

Chapter 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mould? No. Moisture? Neither. Fish? Yeah fish. It smelt as bad as fishes did when they got half an hour or more out of the water. Sakura grimaced at the bad smell. She could feel the roughness of the cold floor underneath her body. She slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry but she managed to focus after some minutes. She sat up in pain and creased her eyes a little to see through the darkness of the place. She didn't know where she was or what had happened of her teammates.

Team seven was on their way back to Konoha from an escorting mission when they got attacked by Akatsuki members. Kisame and Itachi. They said they wanted the kuby. But she and Kakashi would never have let them put a finger on him. Sasuke, on the other hand, was trying to control himself from charging at Itachi who didn't even paid him attention.

Seems those years he stayed by Orochimaru's side thought him some self-control. But he ended up killing both Orochimaru and Kabuto before escaping the compound. Being used as a vessel never had been a part of his plan.

But the anger and hatred he felt towards his older brother were too hard to control and he lunged at him. But Itachi, being Itachi, had no problem to get ride of him by knocking him out. His target was the kuby-boy so Sakura could figure that his younger brother wasn't even bothering him at the moment. He charged at Naruto who was well prepared but before he could reach him, Sakura did something the Uchiha didn't expect her to do. She brought her hands together and gathered charkra in her palms before hitting the ground hard, making it break into pieces. She thought for a moment that she saw the eyes of the older Uchiha get wide in surprise. But if he ever let surprise reach his eyes, it disappeared as soon as it came. After the sand slowly made its way back to the large fissure Sakura created, Itachi and his partner were no where to be seen. Everyone was on their guards. Letting it raise-down at this state of the fight could be fatal. Sakura suddenly felt a cold breeze beneath her. She turned around in a reflex and saw two red orbs. And after that, there was nothing.

Seeing that there was no one around, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Enjoyed your sleep kunoichi?" said someone with a rough voice. The said person was sitting in a dark corner of the room his back against the cold wall, legs crossed, he stared into her eyes while eating a fish in a really disgusting way.

"Kisame…"

A soft chuckle escaped his lips before he took another bite of the poor mutilated fish.

"Correct." He grinned, some pieces of fish stock in his teeth. He stood up and threw the rest of it on the dirty floor before walking in her direction. She slowly crawled back her eyes never leaving his. She felt fear blooming in her stomach when her bare chained feet hit the wall. She looked behind her and back at him. He kept walking. He stopped in front of her and stared at her in a devilish way.

"I like your fear kunoichi. It fits your face very well." He grinned.

"I…I don't fear you!" she hissed back.

"We'll see about that." He leaned down and grabbed her throat to lift her up. She gasped in pain and tried to remove his hand. His grin widened. His swung to his left side before throwing her on the hard stone wall. She dropped down and yelled in hard pain. She could feel that some of her ribs were broken.

What a jerk! Hurting a girl while she can't even stand up! Yelled inner-Sakura.

He grabbed her hair and lifted her up again. She let out a squeal.

"I never saw such a beautiful face. It emanates so much pain and fear." He said while looking intently at the girl. "It makes me want to torture so much that you will be begging me to end your miserable life." He laughed. When he was about to throw her on the hard wall again she stiffened and closed her eyes thigh waiting to feel the brutal contact with the stones. But surprisingly, it never came.

She opened one eyes cautiously. She saw a large hand gripping Kisame's arm to prevent him from throwing her another time.

"I thought I told you not to harm her Kisame." said the owner of the hand.

"She provoked me, look at her pitiful face. Don't you want to crush it?" He answered grinning at Sakura. She tried to escape his strong grip but she was not far from suffocating.

"Put her down."

"Oh come on! For what purpose did you kidnapped her? She's weak and useless!"

"Put her down, now." replied her strange savior. Kisame growled but obeyed and let go of her hair. "Really wanna remove this thing huh." He spat with an angry tone. He walked toward the long door and turned to throw a deadly glare at Sakura before leaving the cell.

Sakura leaned still on the ground not daring to look at the man standing before her. He leaned down and took her chin in a harsh way before lifting her face up to look at her. Emerald eyes met bloody red ones. Hers showed fear and humiliation. His showed nothing.

Uchiha Itachi…

"Why did you bring me here?" She asked in a trembling voice. "What do you want from me?" Her body started to shiver as well as her thin chin.

"You are in no position to ask such questions, medic." He answered in a blank tone. He let go of her soft chin and stood up. He glared at her for a long time, his gaze analyzing her before he turned around to leave.

Sakura started to feel dizzy and tried to fight against the tiredness that was gaining her slowly. The figure of Itachi walking down the hall became blurry and she let her eyelid close mechanically.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kisame is right. She is indeed a very weak kunoichi. Though Itachi while walking back to his personal room. Cert her strength surpasses the Godaime's but still, she could never beat one of us without someone else's help. As a matter of fact, she didn't kill Sasori alone. She needed the help of a habile puppeteer. She is a good kunoichi only if her missing skills are completed with someone else's. In other words, her ninja way consist in teamwork. How pitiful. Those Konoha ninjas will never get stronger if they constantly rely on each other.

Walking down the hall he noticed that Kisame was sleeping, as usual, in a sitting position on the floor. His back was leaning against his room's wooden door and he snored loudly. Itachi shook his head in disbelief and walked pass him.

Anyway, I don't care about her ninja skills. I only need her medical ones to remove this damn seal. He jerked inwardly. Entering his bedroom, he closed the wooden door and untied his long Akatsuki cloak. He threw it on a wooden chair with a red cushion, placed in a corner of the room and he landed lazily on his bed. He crossed his arms behind his head and closed his tired eyes.

"I'll wake her up in two days." He mumbled before he fell asleep himself.

Sunshine made their way trough the bars of the only window Sakura's cell had. They warmed her soft and cold skin. She creased her eyebrow and opened her eyes delicately to gaze at her surrounding.

She was in a small cell that contained an old and almost broken bed and a simple pot to relive herself. The floor and the walls were made of strong stones that were covered of mildew and moisture. The small window on one of the wall was the only source of light of the room. She couldn't believe she was lying in a place that was so dirty and unhygienic. She pushed her palms on the ground in attempt to lift up her upper-body. When she managed to she shook her head lightly to get ride of the dirt stock in her pink hair and turned around to sit on the floor.

"I'm hungry" she said in a weak voice. An apple suddenly rolled on the floor and stopped at the bottom of her half bended legs. She looked before her to see where it came from. But she saw nothing. She took the apple and brushed the dirt away with her delicate fingers before taking a small bite in the juicy fruit. Some juice dripped on her lower lip and she licked it in hurry.

"Taste good?"

She looked up again and saw someone staring at her. Red eyes to be exact.

Him again…

He was sitting in a dark corner of the room his back lazily resting against the wall. One of his leg was bended before his chest while the other one was stretched on the floor. His arms were placed behind his head in a lazy manner. His hair were tied up in a low pony-tale and he wore his scratched fort-head protector. He stared at her with a blank look. She stopped chewing and creased her eyes at him as to say she wasn't happy to see him. He smirked at her and let his arms fall to his sides.

"I can take it back if you don't like it." He said in an amused tone. She looked at him intently as to dare him to take HER apple away from her. He closed his eyes still smirking and disappeared quickly. She blinked a couple of time and turned her head around to find him. She almost got an heart attack when she saw him in a squatting position behind her. His face was a inch away from hers. She could almost feel his hot breath on her cold cheek. In a flash he took her apple and disappeared again. She looked at the dark corner again to see him sitting in the same position he did before moving. He rolled a bitten red apple between his long fingers. He looked at her lips intently and then at the place where she had taken a bite and back at her lips. Still looking straight into her water green eyes, he brought the fruit to his lips and bit where she did. Her eyes half-widen while he did it. He smirk inwardly. While chewing, he threw the apple to her knees (because she was now sitting in a geisha like position). She stared intently at the apple but refused to touch it. Seeing that she would not take it again he stood up and headed to the door.

"Be hungry then." He mumbled as he looked straight before him and left the room. Sakura gazed at the fruit for a couple of minute and then kicked it. It rolled on the dirty floor until it reached the wall. She sighed and lied down on the cold floor. She closed her eyes and tried to forget her hunger by thinking of her teammates.

Sasuke, Naruto, Kakashi-sensei… where are you…?
