Akatsuki Family: Part Five
Watching Sakura interact with the children, Itachi tilted his head to the side as she stood from the floor, to taking a step back, Itachi stepped back into the shadows before he disappeared. Itachi stepped into Kisame, not looking through where he was going as he walked down the hall.
"Itachi, what are you doing?" Kisame asked.
Glancing away Itachi's breath came out in a sigh, eyes refusing to meet Kisame's, Itachi stepped around Kisame to continue walking. Kisame continued towards the main living area, he saw Sakura sitting on the floor with Kazou, Adkira and Jotaro seated around her.
"Kazou, bath time," Kisame ordered, leaning against the doorframe.
"Are we going to the ocean? You said we were going to the ocean," Kazou said, glancing from Sakura to his father.
"How did you know?" Kisame asked, looking down at his son.
Pointing to Sakura, young Kazou had a wide grin on his face not dissimilar to Sakura's own expression. Adkira and Jotaro smirked at Sakura's side.
"You're coming with us," Kisame said, Sakura's eyes widened in confusion.
"Daddy, I thought Sakura wasn't allowed out of the base," Kazou questioned, Kisame glanced at his son for a minute.
"It will be fine, she won't recognize the area," Kisame replied.
"Can we go too?" Jotaro asked.
"You will have to ask your father," Sakura replied.
The two boys disappeared into the floor, Sakura watched as they vanished aware that they would be back in a minute.
"Go get changed, kid...Sakura," Kisame said, Kazou grabbed Sakura's hand pulling her from the room.
"Are you going to put on your bathers?" Kazou asked.
"I don't have any bathers," Sakura replied, the young boy seemed confused at the statement.
"But everyone has bathers," Kazou said.
"I left mine in the village," Sakura whispered, voice low as she spoke.
"Sakura, I need a moment," Deidara said, popping his head in the door.
"What is it Deidara?" Sakura asked.
"Madara, is looking for you. He is mad," Deidara said.
"What have I done now?" Sakura groaned, fear for Madara not what it should be.
"You don't have permission to leave," Madara said, walking towards Deidara and Sakura.
Grabbing Sakura's arm, Madara forced her back against the wall grabbing her by the throat. Gripping Madara's hand for dear life, Sakura panicked for a second before he released her. Falling to the floor, Sakura gasped for air. Forcing her body against the wall, Sakura's gaze was uncertain as she sat on the floor at the oldest Uchiha's feet.
"Get up, Sakura," Madara ordered, pulling herself up from the floor.
Sakura leaned against the wall for support, as she stared at the Uchiha wandering what she had done.
"I have got a present for you," Madara told Sakura, voice letting her know that something was horribly wrong.
Smoke filled Madara's arms for a second, before it cleared and a small baby was nestled in his hold. Passing the child to Sakura, Madara reached behind him, pushing a child towards her.
"Watch them, until their father returns," Madara ordered, storming off
Looking down at the boy, Sakura noted that he looked older then Kazou. He looked to be around ten, but Sakura wasn't quite sure. They boy reached out to take the baby from Sakura, Sakura let him hoping she could react faster than him if something happened. The boy seemed to know how to take care of the baby.
"Who are you?" The older child asked.
"Sakura...Sakura Haruno and you are?" Sakura asked, the boy seemed unsure about her but answered either way.
"I'm Yukio...where are we?" The boy asked.
"The Akatsuki base, it's going to be okay Yukio," Sakura whispered, Yukio began to shake he seemed to be panicking.
"No...no," Yukio whispered, the shaking growing worse.
Taking the baby from Yukio's hold, Sakura caught Yukio as his legs gave out beneath him.
"Please don't hurt us," Yukio mumbled, on the floor leaning against Sakura.
"We aren't going to hurt you, I promise you no one is going to hurt you," Sakura whispered, Deidara stood watching as Sakura tried to calm the boy down.
Resting in Sakura's hold, Yukio held on for his life. He had finally stopped shaking, with the boy resting against her and the baby in her arms. Sakura couldn't move, sensing for someone she noticed Deidara stood around the corner behind her.
"Deidara, go get Madara now," Sakura ordered, waiting for Deidara to return Sakura sat and just waited.
"Kazou, what is taking you so long?" Kisame shouted, wandering down the hall.
Towering over Sakura, Kisame stared at her on the floor with the two children. Tilting his head, Kisame seemed confused obviously not expecting to see Sakura sat on the floor with two children he had never seen before. It was then Sakura felt Madara's chakra heading their way, the chakra seemed calm but that didn't mean it was.
"Who are they?" Sakura growled, no fear for Madara.
"Kakuzu's, someone killed their whore of a mother," Madara answered, the emotionless Uchiha prick as always.
"Dad, what's going on?" Kazou asked, his worried expression clear.
"How do you expect to raise more children, they aren't the traitors who betrayed their villages to join. These are innocent children, who need to be taught what is right and what is wrong," Sakura said, there was five children who lived in this dangerous environment, they would kill her anytime so she might as well just speak her mind anyway.
"Teach them," Madara replied, his anger clearly beginning to show.
Sakura glanced at all of the kids around her, glancing back at Madara to find him gone in a cloud of smoke.
"Come on, Sakura, let's go," Kisame said.
