I couldn't believe who was right in front of me. Never in my lifetime did I expect to see him and HERE of all the places to see eachother again. After Deidara left I got up from the bed. Strange enough, Deidara had took me to a regular room. It had a desk, a bed, a set of drawers, and a closet. It was as if he brought me to an Akatsuki's room. Well anyways, I got up and approched my distant friend. Do you know who it is yet? I'll give you a hint: his name comes from an ill omen of China. Guessed it yet? Well I won't wait any longer if you haven't figured it out yet. He was none other than my childhood friend, Itachi Uchiha.
As I approched my friend, I stopped rapidly. At that moment I wished I had stayed with the Misukage in the office instead of going to the forest. If only I had not of dozed off in my memories and let my guard down, I would of sensed the presence of the one behind me. I wanted out and I wanted it now. I started to back away from Itachi. I did not get the same comforting feeling I always did when I neared him. This time I felt something different, something deadly. As he saw my sudden retreat, he started to come closer to me. At each step he took, I felt as if the air from my lungs was being taken away and I felt as if I was dying.
It wasn't long until I felt the wall behind my back. But Itachi was still a few feet in front of me. I was shaking and it was very noticible. I bet he was smirking but I couldn't see for he was wearing a cloak with a high collar. He was four feet away from me and was getting closer. It wasn't until he was right in my face that he stopped. I had had my eyes close when he was two feet away from me and now I opened them. I was disturbed at our closeness, and I was even more disturbed at what he could do to me at such close range. And I got my worst fear. Itachi was now nuzzling at my neck and I couldn't help but let him.
He was still nuzzling me when he started to encircle my waist with his arms. I relaxed in his caress and I felt the same way I did back when I knew him in Konoha. He lost that feeling I felt when I was approching him. He no longer felt deadly, but he was sweet and I felt like he knew what I was going through. So I gave into him and put my arms around his neck. He pushed me against the wall when I did this. A lot of things were going through my head at the time so I lost track of what he was doing. But when I came back from my mind, I found myself wanting his touch.
I soon started to slip my fingers into Itachi's hair. It was soft and silky, something I didn't expect. It always seemed spiky and hard from a distance. He went for my ear and whispered something into it. I was still in shock and didn't hear him. He spoke again and I continued to ignore him. Little did he know but I was falling into a deep sleep in his arms. He noticed my tiredness and removed his head from my neck. He used one of his hands to cup my cheek and made me look into his eyes. I started to feel light headed and I felt my head fall onto Itachi's shoulder. The last thing I felt was that Itachi carried me bridal style and laid me on the bed.

Everyone had had a good night's sleep except Sakura. She kept thinking that Sasuke liked the missing girl and was going to reject her again. She kept stirring in bed and could never get the thoughts out of her head all night. She woke up and found out she had only slept two hours while the rest had slept for nine. Kakashi noticed and knew that Sakura would be no good in a tired state. But she refused to be left behind.
They were only a few miles away from the forest when Sakura started to slow down. She was last to get to the forest and was put on a team with Choji, Hinata, and Shino. They had to go scan the west area of the forest and report back if they found anything. She felt to tired to jump from tree to tree so she decided to walk on a little path. It was a bad idea for they ran into none other than a new member of the Akatsuki, Tobi.
Shino ran off to find the rest of the group and left Choji, Hinata, and Sakura to defend for themselves. Hinata was able to help Choji fight Tobi but Sakura decided to wait for the arrival of the others. Suddenly she heard something close by in the forest. So she goes to check it out. She finds a small cabin with two floors. Sakura goes and searches on the second floor. Little did she know that Koyuki was right on that floor sleeping. Sakura opens the window and creeps in. She wakes up Koyuki and they leave before the Akatsuki found out. Sakura starts to lead the way to Hinata and Choji and finds all of the rest of the gang.
She hides Koyuki in a bush so just to make sure the Akatsuki don't find her if they come for Tobi. Sakura thought right. A few minutes after her arrival, three other Akatsuki came. They leave quickly as the rest are distracted at Sakura's come back. As soon as the Akatsuki were gone, Sakura reveals a half asleep Koyuki to the rest. Everyone is shocked but take the sleepy mistress back to her village. They were so distracted of seeing Koyuki, they didn't notice the Akatsuki, hiding in trees, ready to surprise them with an anbush. It was an all too familiar Uchiha waiting for the trees watching as they took his pet away from him. But he swore to her last night, no matter how many times they found her, he would always bring her back.

I awoke only to find myself in the Misukage's office. I saw a lot of faces in front of me but none of them the face of Itachi. I noticed they were all Leaf shinobi so I looked for a familiar face I've known for eight years. And I saw him. Sasuke. I was overjoyed to see him again. He still held features of the boy I knew years ago.
"Koyuki, it is great to have you back." said the Misukage as he embraced me in a hug.
"Good to be back." I responded as I too embraced him in the hug.
"Koyuki, can you tell us anything that you saw or know about the Akatsuki?"asked a man I soon learned was named Kakashi. Part of me wanted to tell them all of the information I found out but another part said no.
"I'm sorry but they kept me locked up and I couldn't find anything out." I answered untruthfully.
"That's okay. As long as you're safe, it doesn't matter." Covered the Misukage as he released me from our hug. It felt wrong to lie to him but I didn't want Itachi to get in trouble.
As all of the shinobi exited the office, I felt his presence. I offered to stay and clean up and they allowed me to. I approched the window, after I made sure the door was locked, and opened it. I stepped back and allowed him to come in. He did and I ran to him and hugged him. It was Itachi. He responded to my hug and encircled my waist. He started to kiss me passionately and I responded this time. He licked my lower lip and I opened my mouth to allow him entrance. He pushed my tongue with his and I shoved back. Soon our tongues were interwined with each other's. We soon broke for air. He lead me out the window and we returned to the Akatsuki Hideout. There, he lead me to his room and we stayed with eachother all night.
