Chapter 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

72 hours. And she counted every seconds of it. During those three days she was held capture by who she presumed being Akatsuki members, nobody brought her food. She felt more hungry and tired than ever. And her broken ribs hadn't been healed yet so it caused her a great deal of pain.

She stared at the apple. It was rotten but if Itachi had not touched it, she might have eaten it. The fact that it was rotten did not matter as much as the fact that Itachi took a bit in it. This man disgusted her in so many ways that she could not bring herself to approach the fruit again just because he touched it. She hated him for the suffering he caused to Sasuke and for the way he killed all those who valued and loved him.

"How could he…" She thought while gazing at the spoiled fruit as if it was going to purify itself from his touch. She suddenly heard quick footsteps coming dawn the hall. They stopped in front of her cell's door. She waited for someone to come in but the door did not open. Not utile a few minutes and then it did. Uchiha Itachi was leaning against its frame and looked at her in a pensive way.

"She is still refusing to eat it. She's quite stubborn." He thought. "And she's not going to eat it even if she is willing to dye of hunger. At least my test was worth trying. It's going to take a while to convince her to remove "it"."

He took the apple and walked toward her. He sit beside her and putted the apple under her nose.

"Why didn't you eat it before it got rotten? He asked in a blank tone as always.

"Because, you touched it." She replied in a tired voice.

"If you don't eat you are going to die."

"I know."

"But I cannot let you die because your death won't benefit me."

She said nothing and closed her eyes. Looking into his sharingan was tiring her even more. He placed his hand on her shoulder and shook her briefly.

"I need your medical skills medic. So you will eat." He stood up and left the room. He came back half and hour later with a plate containing fumed fish, a bowl of rice and a glass of water. He placed it on the floor near the door.

"Eat." And he left the room again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She looked at the food intently. It looked so delicious even if it was a simple meal. She was so hungry. She crawled slowly to reach the plate and took the chopsticks in a febrile move. She tried to separate them but didn't manage to.

"I feel so sick. I cannot even bring myself to break a stupid pair of chopsticks…"

She posed the chopsticks down and took the bowl instead. She managed to shallow the rice quickly using both her hands. She was still lying weakly on the ground for she was not able to sit down. After she finished the rice she took a bit of her small fish but wasn't able to chew it. She let it fall back in the plate and leaned her head down feeling a little dizzy.

Itachi came back about and hour later and found her resting still on the floor before the plate. He sighed inwardly and approached her.

"Eat the fish." He commended her.

"Cannot… chew it…" she whispered weakly.

He leaned down and he rolled her on her back. He slipped a hand under her knees and another under her middle-back to lift her and he placed her between his legs. One of his hands rested on the back of her head to support it. She didn't know what he was doing but was too weak to wonder about it. She just let him do. He stared at her thin face for a moment and thought that she looked very tired. The dark marks under her closed eyes showed that she hadn't slept for days.

"She really needs to be feed."

He took the fish and brought it to his lips before taking a big piece of it. He chewed it for about two or three minutes and leaned down to press his lips against hers. Her eyes widen in astonishment. His red eyes stared at hers without any trace of emotions. She suddenly felt his tongue begging to enter her mouth. Too weak to protest she parted her lips and felt the taste and texture of fish on her tongue.

"Is he f-feeding me?" She blushed in surprise. Was it some short of kiss? No it wasn't. This was only a medical emergency right? Right? Even if their lips were touching and tongues brushing, it was absolutely NOT a kiss!

"Oh come ON! He tastes good! grinned inner-Sakura.

"Shut up you little brat! I don't have the energy to fight you at the moment!"

Itachi separated their lips and took another bite of fish. This went on for about twenty minutes, utile the fish was completely consumed. When Sakura managed to shallow her last pre-chewed piece of fish, she closed her eyes again and licked her lips in contentment. Itachi watched her do the movement intently. He too licked his lips. Then he putted her down on the mattress of her small bed and left the room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura woke up with the sent of lavender tickling her perfect fitting nose. She opened her eyes quickly and sit up to glance around. She wasn't in her cell anymore. She was in a large red painted room with beautiful but simple decorations as a wooden chair with a red cushion, a small desk also made of wood, a large mirror hanging on the wall and a classer containing a lot of scrolls. Important ones she presumed. Her ribs had been healed and she could see, glancing at the mirror, that her under-eyes dark shadows weren't as bad as before. She also noticed that she had been washed and she wore clean clothes. Black t-shirt and black pants although they were too large for her petite body. She blushed furiously at the thought of an S-Classed criminal washing her and putting on her clothes.

It was then that the S-Classed criminal entered the room with a plate containing again a bowl of rice, a grilled fish and a glass of water.

"Eat." He mumbled nonchalantly while putting the plate on the covered tighs. She took the chopstick and broke them apart.

"Better than uhhh… yesterday?"

"How long have I been asleep?" She asked before putting rice into her mouth.

"Two days." He replied as nonchalantly as before. She stared at him and nodded. "No surprising since I did not sleep for at least 74 hours."

When she finished the rice she took the fish and remembered the "even" of some days ago. She blushed lightly before starting to eat again. Itachi noticed the blush but said nothing.

"Did you… I mean are you the one who…"

"Washed you and changed your clothes? Yes." He answered before she managed to finish her question. A deep red colored her cheeks as she stared wide-eyes at the wooden desk. He smirked at her reaction and walked towards the bed. He sit on the its edge besides her and leaned forward utile his lips brushed against her ear. Her heart beet became faster as her breath.

"What the..!"

"But don't worry, Sakura, I didn't do anything to you. I am not interested in sixteen girl bodies'." He whispered softly with his deep and sexy voice. Sakura blushed even more, a little bit offended at his sentence. He stood up and turned around to leave. Before he walked out he turned around and looked at her a serious look on his face.

"Don't leave this room." He warned and closed the large door behind him.
