Thank you all for the reviews!! I luffles them! Here is chappie five, this one is a bit longer. I don't own Naruto or its characters. Please note, in this chapter I try to follow the manga as best as I can to lead you up to this point where I continue on with my story. Enjoy.

Chapter 5

The group gathered in the pouring rain. She could feel Sai beside her and Naruto's loud determination to bring Sasuke back and find Itachi. She looked down into her rippling reflection. She had a feeling this wasn't going to end well.

"Lets go!" The group departed.

"Looks like a storm is coming." Itachi finally spoke after minutes of silence to his partner, Kisame.

Kisame chuckled.

"Your brother is a tough punk, taking down Orochimaru…. Are you sure you wont go after him yourself? Deidara already jumped ahead along with Tobi." Kisame was itching for some bloodshed.

"Iie." Itachi walked forward as the rain started pouring down, his eyes shadowed as he put one foot in front of the other.

Kisame grunted in disappointment, hoisting his Sameda on his shoulder and followed Itachi.

"Our assignment is Sasuke's group first, Akatsuki second. We spread out to search and meet back here. If you run into either of them, avoid fighting. We'll be pretty spread out so-"

"But that's dangerous! The radio transmission only goes so far!" Sakura interjected with alittle panic rising in her voice.

"Sakura, calm down." It was Yamato speaking.

BOOM

Kakashi's pack dogs appeared from the smoke.

"Our voices can reach farther than any wireless communication device." Pakkun said to Sakura.

She let out a shaky breath, no one seemed to notice. Kakashi spoke more of the instructions and before long, they spread out to start searching.

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

"Well?" Sakura looked down at the nin dog, who was sniffing the ground.

"Its Sasuke's scent… but its really faint." The nin dog replied, before his hackles reached sky ward in alarm.

"What is it?" Sakura asked attentively, looking around.

"Hm.. Nothing." He led her further into town and away from the dark aura radiating just behind a tree nearest them.

Red eyes watched her every move.

The streets were crowded with people. A chill crept up Sakura's spine, she didn't like to be in such close quarters. Scents mingled in the air, throwing off the scent of Sasuke even more. A restaurant sign blazed as she passed, vendors calling out to people for attention, smoke from the buildings billowing into the air. She coughed slightly then stopped as she noticed her nin dog's nose to the ground, sniffing intensively.

"Close!!!" The nin dog's eyes widened.

Sakura kept a stony posture, even when she was quivering inside. She wanted to see Sasuke again, but another part of her was terrified. She had seen his display of power and wanted Naruto to give up the search for the teammate that betrayed them years ago. A dark red head passed her and time seemed to slow down. Sakura turned her head slightly to the side to see the other woman pass. A weird feeling made her arm suddenly go numb.

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o

KABOOOOOOM

Sakura watched with wide eyes as a towering blast rose up to the sky.

Naruto..

"Come on lets get going!" The nin dog tore ahead of her as she ran to follow.

Her teammates surrounded the blast site that was still smoking. She stared down at the massive crater. Incredible. Her heart was caught in her throat as she thought of Naruto again since he hadn't joined the group. The pack of nin dogs spread out to pick up any scent left over.

"Sakura-chan!" She heard a loud familiar voice.

"Naruto!" She yelled back, very relieved that he was okay.

"Well?" Kakashi's lazy eye trained on his pack of dogs.

"Its faint… it disappears here. We cant track it." One nin dog replied.

Naruto gave an angry noise of frustration. Fortunately, Kiba will his nose keener than that of a dogs, traced Sasuke's scent. With Kiba in the lead, the rest followed.

"The scent is scattering! Hurry!" Kiba jumped from tree to tree faster as the others tried keeping up.

"I'll handle this… Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto's appeared and took to the trees, followed by kiba's guidance of direction. He ran ahead and out of sight of the others.

"Naruto slow down!" Sakura's voice faded into the trees.

But he was gone.

"Naruto!" Sakura called out again.

I have a bad feeling… Kakashi thought to himself.

"Everyone spread out and try to find Naruto." He said calmly as everyone divided up and when their separate ways.

Sakura shivered, it seemed the forest suddenly got colder. She dropped from the canopy and looked around, had it gotten darker as well? She refrained from grasping her cloak tighter to her body. A crackle of a twig snapping awoken her senses, which sent them reeling. Her heart beat sped up and she tried to calm herself down.

Caw Caw Caw!

Ravens flew at her, then upward, flying out of the tree tops. Startled she gasped and threw her arms in front of her for protection. A cool voice sent a chill up her spine and she turned sharply.

"Sakura…"

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Sharingan! Sasuke..?!

"Come out… Naruto Uzimaki." Itachi said softly.

"What do you want?!" Naruto was seething. This was the man who caused Sasuke so much pain! He was after the demon inside of him! Letting out a frustrated growl he impatiently waited for Itachi's response.

"Give up chasing after my foolish little brother. He's not coming back." He told Naruto point blank.

"Yes he will! He belongs to Konoha with friends and those who appreciate him! Unlike you!" Naruto roared back at him. The Kyuubi slowly making his appearance on Naruto's eyes and cheeks.

"Why do you care so much about a missing nin?" Itachi said out of morbid curiosity.

"He's one of the first bonds I ever made, he's like a brother to me!" With that, Naruto clones attacked Itachi head on.

"Stay here.. I'm going to check it out. The worse case you will fight the Leaf." Sasuke gazed at the hideout. Excitement seized him and raced through his veins like wildfire. Finally he would avenge his clan!

He cautiously walked down the halls dimly lit by firelight. His footsteps echoing off the hallowed halls. Every muscle on alert and a heighten sense of things made his steps more hasty.

"Reckless excitement to kill me will cost you dearly." Itachi's voice rang out as Sasuke reeled to a stop. His hand on his katana, sharingan eyes activating.

"Today, my brother, you die!" Sasuke yelled with total confidence.

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Sakura groaned as she became conscious. She gasped as Itachi sat by her bedside. Gazing down at her with those malicious red eyes. She recoiled away from him, that's when he pounced. She tried to scream but his hand hindered that vocal movement.

"Shh…." He said in a dark and sinful way, she whimpered and squirmed under him. She closed her eyes, tears started to seep out of her closed lids. She continued to whimper softly under him.

Sasuke..??!

Did she just hear him? Her green pools snapped open and with renewed hope her struggles became desperate, to the point where Itachi's body lifted off herself. He smirked.

"I want him to see us together…" He leaned back down and licked a stray tear. He removed his hand from her mouth and she screamed for help.

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

"SASUKE!"

Was that.. Sakura?

He had heard her scream many times before. But this scream for help made Sasuke pause in his attack. His eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Your cherry blossom is pretty isn't she? It would be sad for such a beauty to lose her precious cherry." Itachi chuckled darkly. His image exploded in front of Sasuke.

Shadow clone??!

"I'm going to take it away from her in a moment, if you want to watch…" His voice could be heard loud and clear.

"Bastard!" Sasuke hissed.

"Just go straight ahead.." His brothers dark voice coaxed him into action.

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Itachi roughly pulled down her skirt after a small fight from Sakura. He also tugged down her shirt to the point where one breast was clearly showing. He dipped his head quickly and lapped at the nipple, sucking and pulling as he lifted his head to her gaze.

She spat on his face.

He slapped so hard her head whipped to the side, leaving her dazed.

No… No.. this is wrong. I have to stop him! I'm to young for this! Sasuke's the only one for me!

Drowning in a sea of desperation and despair she laid emotionless against the bed. Praying Sasuke would come to her rescue. Another tear leaked from her face.

"Itachi!" The door slammed open, revealing Sasuke in a glowing light.
