Sakura woke up in a total daze, however, when does she not? Sakura had stopped caring. Sakura had forgotten how to feel after those days happened, back when she was twelve. Sakura sat up in the futon as pain seared throughout Sakura's small frame of a body. Her body hurt all over. She then remembered what happened the previous night. Itachi had indeed taken something that Sakura thought she would never hand over to any man. She cursed Kisame for draining her, she cursed Itachi for taking advantage, and she mainly cursed herself for being so weak. Just then, the bathroom door opened and Itachi stepped through the doorway. Their eyes met and neither of them moved from that connection for a couple minutes. Itachi's eyes did eventually move down and noticed he had left her naked.
"You need to cover yourself up."
"Why? You have already seen it all. I don't see any shame now."
Itachi smirked. He walked over to her and sat on the edge of the bed. Leaning towards her, he talked into her ear.
"It's not about shame, little Cherry Blossom." He watched her eyebrow twitch in irritation. "It's mainly more about desires. If you do not cover yourself up, I may take my way with you again. Most women would be ashamed after being taken like that. I guess you aren't any regular woman though. Or perhaps I should call you a girl since you aren't done developing yet."
Sakura just looked at him debating whether he was truly worth hitting. She decided against it since she still did not have much energy. Sakura probably would have missed or he would catch her before the blow even landed on his cheek. Sakura turned towards the window without a word to Itachi. Itachi's eyes narrowed at her lack of response. He sighed and turned to get up only to receive a blow to the head by a pillow. Itachi turned and saw Sakura glaring at him.
"Why do you have your Sharigan activated?"
"It's easier to deal with the pain this way."
"What pain?"
"Yours, Sakura-chan."
Sakura looked at him all confused. Itachi just sighed again and got up to leave again. The pillow then hit him.
"You need to explain."
"Why? It is so much more fun to keep you on edge. Plus, I noticed something quite amazing about you."
Sakura turned her head into confusion, pure innocence shined through.
"After being taken, I see you still stay pure."
Sakura looked down at herself. She then turned her attention back to Itachi as if he had jumped off the deep end.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Sakura-chan, I do not accept such language. I hear it again, you'll regret it."
"Yes mother," mumbled Sakura.
Itachi sighed and threw clean clothes at her.
"Get covered up."
"Whatever you say mother…"
Sakura got out of the futon and walked to the bathroom. Itachi admired from the back. He really wanted to know what that was on her beautiful back. Seconds after the bathroom door closed, Itachi heard Sakura shriek. He smirked to himself before finishing getting ready for the day.
Sasuke was punching away at a practice dummy waiting for Naruto; last night's dream still fresh in his mind. The way his brother touched Sakura; the screams of pain that erupted out of her; the way he took her without any disregard to her being his. Sasuke tore through the dummy in anger. Sakura was to remain clean until he took her. Now, Itachi had touched her. Sakura now belonged to him. Was it possible that it had truly just been a dream made by all his worry? If Sakura truly were not a virgin when he next saw her, he would make sure to rip out Itachi's throat. Then he would deal with her. Sakura was his and Itachi would pay if he ever took her from him. Sasuke then split a tree in half.
"Hey Sasuke, you alright? Do I need to leave you here?" Naruto questioned his best friend.
"Like hell you will." Replied Sasuke as he turned to Naruto with his Sharigan fully activated.
Sakura looked at her body in horror and large round eyes. Dread was truly filling her eyes and the flames of vengeance began to fill her soul. She turned around and shrieked in horror at the symbol on her shoulder. Sakura quickly went through the bathroom door and back into the bedroom. Itachi was just finishing getting dressed when he looked at his naked partner.
"Uchiha! What the…" Sakura remembered what he said about the cursing. "What is this? Or should I ask, what is the meaning of this?"
"The meaning of what," questioned Itachi.
"Don't play dumb Uchiha!" Sakura turned around.
"Nice ass. Is that what you wanted to hear?" Itachi smirked.
Sakura grew even more pissed. She pointed to her shoulder.
"Not my butt baka, the tracker on my back! I remember you saying you didn't like cussing?"
"I won't allow it out of your mouth. However, I may do as I please. If you already know what that is, why are you asking me? Another question also arises, how do you know about that jutsu? After all, that is a family secret.
"One, I wasn't asking what it was. I was asking why it is on me. Take it off. Two, where I get my information is none of your business Uchiha-san."
"I would be happy to take it off, but I get the feeling you don't want to stay cooped up in here. One of these days, you are going to explain how you deal with all this pain. Now, I am going on a mission. You cannot exit the compound nor enter rooms that other members tell you not to enter without their or my permission."
Itachi then wrapped his cloak around his shoulder preparing to leave. He then turned around to continue to admire Sakura's body.
"Take a picture Uchiha it will last longer."
"No need I have a photographic memory. I do enjoy my handiwork."
He then turned to leave to receive his third hit from a pillow that day.
"Next time no hickies baka."
"Are you giving me permission to take you again?"
"Do I really have a choice in the matter?"
"I see your point."
"No bite marks either."
"Then don't look so good to eat."
Itachi then left the room. Sakura honestly did not want to be taken again. Pain was rising through the inside and outside of her body. Pain was a feeling that she was accustomed to having, without it had become a faraway dream. Then it hit her, something she had read about the locater justu. Itachi had used on her. He was able to tell if she was in extreme pain or had suffered death. If it were just pain, then he would feel it was well until she got over it. If death, the pain would remain until the justu was removed from his or her body. This is why he had his Sharigan on. Sakura walked back into the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, she looked at the locater more closely. They use the Uchiha fan because it is a family secret and many kanjis surrounded it for the feeling transfer. Something then hit Sakura that made her stomach drop.
"Did he use a condom?"
The Anbu team that formed to find Haruno Sakura contained only people who knew her well over the past years. Tsunade allowed only two people in the team, who did not know Sakura, to go due to them being her teammates. Hokage Tsunade left two team leaders in charge, Hyuuga Neji and Nara Shikamaru. The rest of the team was as followed: weapons expert Tenten, soft-hand combatlist Hyuuga Hinata, Taijutsu expert Rock Lee, Medic Nin Yamanaka Ino, canine expert Inuzuka Kiba, bug expert Aburame Shino, and big baller Akimichi Chouj. Hatake Kakashi, Maito Gai, Yuuhi Kurenai, and Sarutobi Asuma were to go along as support and mission experts. The team was made to easily find Sakura wherever Akatsuki may hide her.
"Alright oba-chan…"
Naruto received a hard hit in the head. The others sweat dropped obviously thinking the same thing. Naruto truly never learned.
"What was that for?"
"Shut up dobe."
"Teme! I'm going
to kill you."
"Enough, the Kazekage has sent me word that he
has also sent out a search team led by Temari-san and Kankurou-san.
If you are to run into them, we have both agreed to work together. So
be careful on your journey and good luck."
They all saluted wondering where she had gotten such a kind moment from. They sweat dropped when they saw her throw an index card away. Well that explained a lot did it not.
"Let's move out guys!" Neji cried as they all left the village in high hoped of finding Sakura. Little did they know it would be a lot harder to find her than they originally thought.
Sakura walked out of the bathroom while drying off her wet hair. She looked down at her wardrobe for today. A small, but still big on her, cotton black shirt, and soft, silky black shorts that hung on her hips. She wondered where he found these clothes. How young do some of the members go here? She ruffled her hair with the towel to dry it more quickly. Once done, she put the towel neatly in the bathroom. Standing in the bathroom doorway, hands on hips, Sakura took a better glance about the room.
"Well it still looks the same."
Sakura memorized everything. To her left was a door that led out. Beside the door are the closet doors. Thin paper doors with Sakura artwork. In between is a small Chinese bench. The futon bed was in the middle of the room with oak bedside tables on each side. An antique lamp sat on top of each one. Beside the bathroom door way was a small desk with bookshelves on beside it. Three bookshelves stood against that wall. A large window indented the right wall. The window seat was made for cool spring days. You could sit from there and have a good view of the Sakura trees in the garden below, well that is how it should have been if Sakura remembered it correctly. She walked over to the window and sat down. Looking out stood the barren trees.
"Those haven't bloomed in a long time."
Sakura quickly turned around startled. A young girl, not much younger than twelve stood at the bedroom doorway. She held something in her hands.
"At least that's
what my oba-sama told me."
"Who are you?" What are you
doing here?"
The young girl giggled.
"I'm sorry. I am Tsuki. My Oba-sama runs this place for the Lord. I come to help her often. After all I wouldn't make a good shinobi."
"Yet you still learned."
A shocked expression appeared on her face.
"How did you know that?"
"That's how it works here right?"
Tsuki looked at Sakura in shock, before grinning and nodding her head.
"Anyways, I came to bring you these. Oba-sama washed them for you. She told me to bring them to you… um…?"
"Sakura. Haruno Sakura. Thank you for them back. I have been wondering where Uchiha-san took them. Do you also have my weapons and traveling bag?"
"Haha! Giving you back your weapons would be careless of me, wouldn't it?"
"I suppose so."
"As to your bag, Uchiha-sama had kept it."
Sakura nodded her head in understanding. Sakura hoped it was around here somewhere. Tsuki placed Sakura's clothe on the Chinese bench and bowed to Sakura before leaving. Who the hell bows to a prisoner? Sakura just shook her head and looked back out the window. Her hair fell into her face and Sakura realized she had let her hair get back to being long. Why had she let it grow? It only got in her way. A flash of three men crossed into her mind that sent a silent tear down her pale cheek. Sakura looked around the room. She looked in the bedside table on Itachi's side to find nothing of use. She then picked up a pillow on his side to find a hidden kunai. He must keep a lot of back up weapons around the room. However, that was not top priority now; walking back into the bathroom, Sakura took the kunai to herself.
The team in search of Sakura was coming upon a village that recently been attacked. Fire had been set to most of the houses. It was beginning to die down. Recently, someone attacked the village that is what it told them. Sensing two large chakra powers ahead of them, they took to it quickly. Upon arrival, they saw two Akatsuki members taking on what seemed to be the last of the surviving members. Naruto quickly intercepted an attack to protect the survivors.
"What do you think you're doing?" yelled an angry villager.
"Don't throw your lives away!" Naruto shot back.
"Shut up! Stay out of this. You wouldn't understand."
"Maybe not, but they
have something of ours."
The rest of them then put up a body
wall between them and the blood-covered Akatsuki members. Seeing
Naruto and Sasuke, one of them chuckled. That chuckle made both of
the boys' spines shiver. Sasuke recognized that voice all to well.
"Itachi!"
"I don't think that little kuniochi would appreciate you talking about her like she was a possession, an item."
"Shut up! You don't know anything about Sakura!"
"Ah, but ototo, I know more about your little teammate than you do."
The dream flashed through his mind. Sasuke growled and went at him. The others went after Kisame. Kisame easily dodged them all, taking out his samehada and slashing at them. Itachi threw his brother against a tree and pinned him there with his hand around his throat. He then whispered something into Sasuke's ear that made him stop dead cold. Kisame raised it again only to dodge an attack from a powerful wind. Both Akatsuki members turned their heads to look at the intruders. A Sand Anbu team had just arrived. Temari lifted up her large fan to attack again. Kisame threw a small ball into the air that exploded into smoke that covered the whole field. Sasuke felt Itachi let go of his throat. By the time the smoke cleared away, they were gone and their chakra had become untraceable. Sasuke hit the tree with a mighty force still remembering Itachi's words.
"She tasted quite nice, just like a cherry blossom would."
Sakura awoke with a horrible start. She had fallen asleep. She needed to get her chakra and stamina back up and that required sleep. Sakura had grown to hate sleep. It took too much time out of her day. She turned on her side attempting to get out of the bed. The day had gone by. The clock on the bed stand read five. Sakura sat up and looked in the drawers of the bedside table on her side. Inside, Sakura found the items she carried in her traveling bag. Walking over to the closet, she pushed the door open to find her bag. She opened it to see her weapons missing. Sakura mumbles something along the lines of 'stupid Itachi' and 'make him pay'.
Sakura walked into the bathroom and noticed the kunai knife she left there. A thought then occurred to her. She stood in the doorway, lifted her hands up, and moved them along the frame until her fingers hit something. She brought it to her face for inspection. A smirk formed and Sakura began her investigation of the room with a more critical eye.
Itachi entered the room with silence Even if he wanted to make noise, it would probably be a challenge for him. His stealth was just force of habit now. The room he entered was dark and lifeless. A glimmer of light came from the crack in the bathroom door. Itachi could hear the shower going. He undid the ties of the bloody cloak and left it there on the ground. He walked towards the bathroom, to make sure Sakura was there. He just knew she was in the room. Sliding the bathroom door open, the first thing that caught his eye was the kunai on the sink counter. The kunai had slivers of pink hair on it. Itachi smirked. It looked like she found one of his hidden weapons. He walked to the shower door and opened it. For a split second, he saw blood, but it then returned to being just water. Sakura was not in the shower stall. He then heard that familiar whistling sound. Quickly he turned to catch the shuriken. However, before he knew it, Sakura was beneath him kicking upwards at him. He easily dodged it, but Sakura followed up with a punch to his face. He captured her hand and in a swift movement, he pushed her into the stall and against the side. The water fell down on them. His grip on her body tightened making her wince in pain. Then it happened again, the water turned to blood; blood all over her. Sakura tried to raise her leg and kick him, but Itachi pulled her towards him and then slammed her against the wall again. She ground her teeth.
"Let me go." Sakura ordered venomously.
Before he knew it, or before she could stop him, Itachi's hand came down across her face. Her head jerked the same way. Blood, real blood came down her face from the mouth. Itachi let her go and she slipped down to the floor. Sakura raised her face up to his and he quickly left the bathroom. Closing the door quickly, he leaned on it and stared at his hand. Blood covered it.
"Damn it! Our first lead and we let them get away!" Naruto yelled angrily.
"Hn."
"Which way do you think they went?" Naruto questioned.
"Hn."
"Damn it teme!" Do you only talk to that teme brother of yours?"
"Hn."
"Don't ignore me!"
By now, Naruto had grabbed Sasuke by the collar and Kakashi was pulling Naruto back. Try as he might, Naruto could not break away from his sensei's grip.
"He does have a point Sasuke," replied the just as quiet Hyuuga.
"Shut up Neji! You can't talk about teme's behavior when you act just like him."
Naruto was angry, unbelievable angry. Sasuke just scoffed and walked off not caring about the rest of them. He clenched his fists in pent up, unreleased anger. His brother's words haunted him. Itachi really had claimed Sakura as his. He hit the ground in anger.
"This pain is nothing compared to what you done to me, Sakura."
On with the reviews, gosh it really takes me sometimes. I have to say this first to all of you reviewers. I did make Itachi rape her yes. But it's for a reason. I do not condone rape at all. But the experience of this was important for the story. I'm really sorry it bothered some of you.
