Chapter 2

Despite all the noises of the rustling leaves and the heavy rainfall, silence, was the only thing between the once teammates and now enemies.

"Sasuke." Her eyes widen slightly realizing it was him. Out of all the akatsuki, why does it have to be him? She doesn't know who or what to blame, but she just wanted to blame something.

Snapping back into the currently situation, her eyes were serious.

"Did you do this?" She obvious meant the dead bodies surrounding them and he knows what she's directing to.

She was answer by a long pause then a smirk.

Part of Sakura wanted to believe it was a lie. It has to be a lie that the once caring and protective Sasuke has became like this.

But it wasn't.

"What have Orochimaru turn you into." Her voice was sad and angry at the same time. He can never be the same old Sasuke she knew.

"He didn't change me, nothing did." She didn't expect him to answer but he did.

"Then why did you do this! How could you!" Her voice was loud but she wasn't shouting. It was the anger that she wanted to release and needed a reason to know why he would be so cruel. Killing is understandable as a shinobi, but disassembling body into pieces is not what shinobi would do.

His hood is higher now and Sakura could see his eyes under the shadow of his hood. They were bloody red, nothing like the powerful sharing she admired. It was as she was looking into a serial killer, and from them, the girl questioned his sanity.

"None of your concern." He drew his kusanagi closer. "because you will end up the same."He strikes at her without warning and Sakura barely avoid it since her mind wasn't really to recognize this Sasuke.

Sasuke… what have you become…. Even if she doesn't want to admit it but this is him. Snapping out of this helpless thinking, Sakura took out a scroll and preformed a jutsu to release her weapon from it. A large axe appeared and she held onto it to block Sasuke's attack.

There were no words between them, only anger and blood thirst clashing as the battle continues on.

Sasuke has to admit this Sakura was new to him, he knew she is talented but he didn't really seem her fight before.(AN: when they were little, both Naruto and Sasuke tend to jump in front of her whenever the situation might be dangerous, so she never get chances to fight with her over protective teammate.)

Smirking as she avoid his electrified kusanagi, Sasuke preform a quick hand sign. Sakura jumped back when she felt him casting a jutsu, he is use to long distant attack and she will have to use the fact to form a plan in order to defeat him.

The longer this battle last the more disadvantage it is towards her. After wasting so much chakra on her way here, she has less than half chakra reserve left and the fact that Sasuke is using electrify technique is fatal among this rain.

She need to end this soon before her chakra runs out. Katon came at her and though the girl avoid it with ease, she could feel the intense heat admitting from the attack each time she dodge them. She could smell her burned flesh while concentrating to avoid each katon, mid second and third degree burn , she mentally noted as she feel the sharp pain of the burns.

The Uchiha noted she does have a good reflex, most people couldn't dodge his katon or if they can, it will still burn nearly half of their body rendering them immobilize for rest of their life perhaps.

Deciding it is time to end this, the Uchiha casted a chidori surrounding his arm. The electric mixed with the rain has enhanced its power and he will watch the moment to strike.

The kunochi has sense its time he will end this battle, she watched his action carefully planning her strategy. He charged at her and so did she.

Then they clashed.

Sasuke's chidori has successfully landed on her abdominal but it did not pierce.

Her right hand was holding on to his chidori casted arm, though his hand did touch her abdominal but she was holding it back with her abnormal strength to prevent it from going through her.

Though her right hand is now intensely injured from the electric surrounding it, she did not let go. Her stomach is in burning pain as well with the chidori so close to it. Sweat dripped down her head as the pain became hard to endure.

Gathering the bits of her chakra that's left into her left hand. She hesitated but did not stop her following action.

"Goodbye Sasuke."

Using her all strength, Sakura punched the side of Sasuke ribs which he couldn't avoid consider how she's holding one of his hand.

He flew to the side immediate breaking a fews tree before he came to a stop. Cursing as he felt at least 3 of his ribs broken. If she applied a little, just a little more force into the punch, she could have snapped his spine. It was his mistake for not taking her seriously, though he has never expected her to do this much damage on him.

Sakura laid on the ground facing the dark and eerie sky. The rain was still there but it has lessen, she sighed at how much she hated the rain. Her limbs felt frozen from the cold and burning at the same time from the katon and over stressing them.

She laid there not moving feeling dizzy and her vision swim before her. Sasuke came to view but she didn't pay much attention to him, she sighed that her last blow wasn't strong enough. Though she doesn't want to die yet, but if she did, she's still happy that she got to land a good punch on him.

Sakura found herself smiling lightly before the world went black on her.

"Sasuke, where did you go?" A plant-like man appeared behind the Uchiha.

"Oh, seems like you had a huge fight." Noticing the Uchiha look rather batter, Zetsu took a look at the person that Sasuke was staring down at or the person that has the ability to take him this far.

Realizing the pink hair kunochi right away, Zetsu smirked. "Seems like you found us a great prize."

He bend down to look at the woman closer, her face and hair was a bit mudded but he's positively sure she is Godame's apprentice, Haruno Sakura. They are in great need of a medic nin and she also held valuable information about the nine tail jinchuuriki.

"She is just as pretty as the rumor said." The Akatsuki said with a smirk. "No wonder you didn't kill her yet even though she's from Konoha."

Ignoring him, Sasuke glared at the unconscious woman in front of him, hand itching to run his sword through her.

But he didn't and he didn't question why.

Sasuke walked pass her and disappeared into the woods. Zetsu smirked at the possible reason that the pyscho-Uchiha decided not to kill her. During their regular travel, he kills or more like mercilessly cut konoha nin into pieces when he sees one. Just like a monster hunting a prey.

But he didn't this time.

Picking up the small figure into his arms, Zetsu as well disappeared into the shadows knowing she will be interesting.
