Recap:

Itachi soon walked in and sat in Deidara's spot.

"What happened after you knocked me out?" the pink haired girl asked staring at the ceiling.

"How do you know I knocked you out?" the older Uchia asked looked at Sakura.

"Your smell." was the reply. "Now answer the question."

"They are here." Itachi replied closing his eyes.


"W-wha?? W-why?" Sakura couldn't find the words to ask a simple question.

"We couldn't let them go back do to the fact they know our location." Itachi replied with his eyes still closed.

"Where a-are they?" Sakura asked sitting up.

"Kisame will take you." right when Itachi said the shark-man came in to take Sakura to her former teammates.

"Need help walking?" Kisame asked at the troubled kunoichi.

"I'm fine. Thanks." Sakura said leaning against the wall.

Kisame just nodded as they stopped at a door that lead further down.

"I got it from here." Sakura said opening the door to be greeted with a gust of cold air.

She went down the steps with great hesitation.

'I really hope they are sleeping.' Sakura thought crossing her fingers.

When she came off of the stairs she felt many pairs of eyes land on her.

'Still have my same good luck.' Sakura thought sarcastically.

Sakura noticed food sitting on a nearby counter that nobody bothered to bring to their prisoners.

Sakura grabbed one plate at a time and set it by each cell. She then noticed they really couldn't move.

'Damn that Samehada. I hated that feeling, not being able to do a damn thing.' Sakura thought not wanted to speak out loud.

She opened Kakashi's cell first. She looked at him with emotionless eyes which she was fighting back tears.

"Will you eat, please?" Sakura asked Kakashi who nodded and took the plate.

Next she made her way to Gaara's cell.

"Eat?" she asked the same question.

Gaara just looked at her with his same emotionless eyes.

Sakura didn't know how to decipher his eyes or actions anymore. She just set his plate by the Kazegage.

After a while she gave everyone their plates. But what they did not notice that Sakura left their cell unlocked, on purpose.

"Why Sakura?" Naruto asked taking a bite from his food.

Sakura didn't answer his question.

"Answer me damnit!!!" Naruto yelled opening his cell door walking up to Sakura.

Sakura leaned against the wall feeling the intense glare from her former blonde teammate.

"I'm sorry Naruto." Sakura whispered.

Naruto gave up because he knew he couldn't win, due to his chakra shortage, so he went back to his cell and continued to eat.

Sasuke looked up at the pink haired girl and was amazed on how much she had changed.

'This cannot be the same weak, annoying girl back when we were genin's.' Sasuke thought.

"Sakura-chan, yeah!!!!!" Deidara's voice rang through the room.

"Yea?" Sakura yelled to the blonde Akatsuki member.

"Time's up!" he yelled as his footsteps faded away.

Sakura went to each cell door and locked them. She turned around before descending up the steps.

"I'll be back later." Sakura said disappearing into the darkness of the staircase.

"What should we do?" Neji asks.

"Wait." Kakashi replied falling asleep leaning against the stone wall.

The Next

"Wake up!" Kisame yelled through the cell chamber.

They all woke up to a very uncomfortable and saw Kisame standing beside Sakura who was leaning against him. (A/N: another sibling relationship btw)

"What!?!?" Naruto asked a little annoyed from the lack of sleep.

"Breakfast." Sakura said giving them all a plate of food.

'Aren't they going to drain our chakra?' Kakashi wondered taking a bite of his bread.

Sakura made it to Gaara cell and he grabbed her wrist forcefully.

Kisame took a step forward but Itachi stopped him.

"You really think you can win?" Sakura asked playing with him.

Gaara let go with anger written all over his face.

Sakura made her way up the stairs not turning back.

"Oh and your comrades' were easily taken down." Kisame said following Sakura up the stairs.

"We'll be back to check on you all later." Hidan said disappearing in smoke.

2 hours later

"You all are allowed to watch us spar." Kisame said coming back down the stairs.

The six guys followed the fish man to a large opening outside of the base.

Sakura was standing in the middle waiting for a challenge.

Naruto saw Hinata, Ino, and Ten Ten all tied to a tree. He also saw Temari, Kiba, and Shino tied to another. Everyone else was just sitting around each other.

"Why are they tied up?" Naruto asked not leaving his gaze away from Hinata.

"'Cause we felt like it." Hidan said appearing out of nowhere.

"When did you get here?" Sakura asked.

"For a whole day." Hidan replied.

Sakura just mouthed an 'oh' and sat on the ground still waiting for a challenge. Sakura randomly burst out in laughing which made the other Akatsuki members chuckle at her childish antics.

Naruto was staring back and forth between Sakura and all the others.

"What's so funny?" Neji asked Kakashi.

Kakashi shrugged.

"Maybe she's finally lost it." Naruto said giving Sakura a strange look.

Sakura stopped laughing and stood up.

"I hate you Kisame." Sakura said glaring at the shark-man.

"What did I do?" Kisame defended.

"You have me sake instead of water." she said hiccupping.

"So that's why I'm sober." Kisame said shrugging.

"WEEEEE!!!!" the female Akastsuki members yelled spinning.

"Wow." Ino, Ten Ten, and Hinata all said.

"Looking for a fight?" a man said.

"Who you?" a drunken Sakura asked.

"You are drunk."

"Leader-sama?" Kisame asked staring at their leader.

"New recruits?"

"Not quite." Itachi replied.

"I wanna fight!" Sakura demanded falling on the ground.

"If you wish." the leader said disappearing.

"Damn he's fast!!!!" Kiba and Naruto exclaimed.

Sakura flew backwards; when she landed blood was trickling out from her mouth.

"Ouch." Neji said wincing.

Sakura stood up and smashed her fists into the ground, destroying it.

"I JUST FIXED THAT, YEAH!!!!!" Deidara yelled at the destructive kunoichi.

"Sorry." Sakura said rubbing the back of her hand blocking a series of punches and kicked from her opponent.

"Getting better I see." he said disappearing again.

Sakura did a series of hand signs and day became night.

"Genjutsu?" Ino asked.

"No." Shikamaru replied watching intently.

"Then what is it?" Kiba asked.

No one could answer, but they all watched to see what she would do next.

All that could be heard was clashing of kunai and other weapons. After about 10 minutes, the darkness turned back to daylight and both fighters were badly scratched.

"Itachi can't even make it that far with leader-sama!!!!" Kisame exclaimed.

Itachi nodded, he would already be knocked out.

'Is he being serious with this girl?' Itachi wondered.

Sakura did another set of hand signs and a scroll appeared in her hands.

"Summoning?" Naruto asked.

"Yup." Kakashi said.

Sakura did what was needed to summon what was being summoned. A katana as long as Kisame's Samehada appeared. It was the thickness of a regular katana but was extra long, the point of it was sharper and the blade itself looked as if it was through many battles yet it also looked good as new.

"So you can summon that as well?" their leader asked watching Sakura.

"Your not being serious about this fight." Sakura said putting her sword in its sheath.

"No, I just came by to see how far you would get." their leader disappeared after saying this.

"I'm tired." Sakura said quietly as she started to fall to the ground.

Itachi caught her before she hit the ground and took her inside leaving her sword forgotten.

Sasuke watch his brother as he took her away from away.

'DUDE!!!! He's taking her away from you!!! Claim your woman back!!!' inner Sasuke nagged Sasuke.

Sasuke didn't even bother replying to his inner. They were all soon led to a different place. Before Sasuke knew it, all he could see was dark, he himself then blacked out.
