Sweet Sensations
XxXxXxXx
A small chuckle could be heard as she took another step. Looking around, Sakura was on her guard and awaited who ever was in the forest. Her breath did hitch in her throat as she stared into a pair of deadly onyx eyes.
"Well... look who I found." Came his familiar voice.
Before Sakura could even turn her body around she was held from behind. Both her arms were behind her back as his lips drew closer to her ear.
"Sakura..."
Her name rolled off his as she shuddered in pure disgust. Why now of all times had she picked to take a walk, when Uchiha Sasuke was in the forest as well! As she was turned around, Sakura was able to get a good look at him before a hand clamped over her mouth to prevent her from screaming.
Sasuke! His attire had changed drastically! He now wore a blue kimono top; the front was opened so that you could see his muscled chest. And a pair of jet black hakamas adorned his bottom half. The same bow like sash was around his waist! The same one Orochimaru wore!
He betrayed Konoha again...
Typical...

Chapter 19: The Abducted
XxXxXxXx
"Stop all your squirming Sakura!" The betrayer said in a stern tone.
Her body ceased from moving as her mind yelled in protest. She blinked continually, to push back the oncoming tears that were sure to fall sooner or later.
"Your going to help me whether you like it or not."
Like hell I will!
He had a kunai in his hand which came extremely close to her stomach. Sasuke let the sharp point trail along her bulging stomach which resulted in Sakura shutting her eyes and finally letting held back tears fall freely.
"Or else you and Itachi will have to say goodbye to the baby."
Her heart seemed to have stopped beating all together because at that moment Sakura felt weak in the knees, as if she would collapse, right on the forest floor... If not for Sasuke holding her up, though he was doing it rather roughly.
"What do you want from me?" She started, chocking back her tears.
"It's not me who needs your aid. It is Orochimaru..." Sasuke stated.
Orochimaru!?! He's supposed to be dead!
That bastard managed to survive, but how?
It was as if Sasuke had somehow read her thoughts, because he began to answer her long awaited question.
"Kabuto sacrificed his body so that Orochimaru could stay alive. Just barely though..."
"And that's why he needs your medical abilities."
Does he think that I would willingly revive Orochimaru?
He must be crazy!
"Remember Sakura, your child is on the line if you say no..." Sasuke warned her.
Her head was hung low as she slowly nodded her head in agreement. Seemingly happy, Sasuke picked Sakura up and they traveled towards Orochimaru's new location. Once again Sakura had begun to cry and shake with tremors gong through her entire body.
"Stop crying already!" Sasuke shouted which made Sakura shut up instantly.
The journey went on for a little while longer until finally the Uchiha came to a stop. Putting her down on her own two feet, Sakura's arm was gripped by Sasuke's hand and she was pulled towards a small cave in a dense part of the forest.
The cave looked as if it were small on the outside, but as soon as Sakura walked inside, her eyes widened. There were even doors! It was large inside and looked like an exact replica of Orochimaru's previous castle.
Shoved into a room, Sakura laid eyes on a nearly dead Orochimaru. His breathing was coming out as ragged breaths and could hardly fill his lungs with their desired oxygen. He was wrapped from head to toe in bandages; blood had seeped through a few areas and stained the once white bandages into a crimson red.
His piercing yellow eyes glared at her from his spot on a small bed. Sasuke stood behind her as he pushed her forward until she was kneeling beside Orochimaru's resting spot.
"Hurry up Sakura." Sasuke said in an irritated tone.
Trembling hands reached for Orochimaru and rested on his bandaged chest as a green glow surrounded the snake sanin. The chakra that would be needed to revive such a powerful being was far too great for Sakura and there was a high chance that she might not survive...

"Any sign of her yet!?!" yelled Kisame.
Shaking his head, Sasori replied sadly.
"Not yet."
Mayou ran into the Akatsuki meeting room were the rest of the members were discussing the disappearance of Haruno Sakura. The sound of breaking glass was heard coming from the recovery room, Kisame a long with the others ran towards the room and burst through the door.
A sweat covered Itachi gripped the bed sheets in his tight grip as he breathed deeply. His eyes caught sight of everyone and he seemed to calm down a little. Mayou noticed that a glass cup containing tea had been knocked to the ground where the contents were spilled on the floor...
"What happened?" Kisame asked.
"I bet it was another one of those dreams..." Deidara whispered to Mayou who nodded.
"I had a nightmare. Unlike any of the others..." Itachi began quietly.
"What exactly happened in the dream?" Mayou asked curiously, stepping forwards.
"I dreamt that Sakura-chan was walking in a forest and somehow took her." He explained.
Itachi began to tell the others what the abductor looked like and immediately they knew who it was.
Uchiha Sasuke...
The Uchiha fell asleep once again and seemed to be sleeping heavily. The remaining members left the base and ran into the forest just outside of Akatsuki. Looking at the ground, Mayou discovered small foot indents and knew somehow that they belonged to Sakura.
But where they ended, a much larger pair started, going deeper into the forest. All four of them took off at a running start and would keep increasing their pace, until they found Sakura's whereabouts.
Kisame stopped in his tracks at the front of the squad as he looked around the forest. He could feel an immense amount of chakra emitting from within a cave. Pointing a finger in the direction, they all ran towards it and walked inside.
"Sakura!" The shark man called out to her.
The kunoichi's heart began to pound relentlessly against her ribcage as she listened for her name to be called.
Am I imagining it?
Pulling back and standing on her two feet, Sakura felt a kunai being pressed to her neck as she was about to turn around. She had almost forgotten about Sasuke's piercing gaze on her backside.
"And where do you think your going?" He asked.
"You have yet to heal Orochimaru."
Narrowing her eyes, Sakura bit back sharply.
"Fuck you!"
Gripping the hand that held the kunai to her throat, Sakura managed to take it from Sasuke who stood in front of her, astonished by her sudden actions and speed. As Sasuke ran towards her in the hopes that he would be able to tackle her to floor, Sakura dodged him and threw the kunai she had his way.
As she had thought, Sasuke had avoided the kunai by jumping to the side and smirking at her. And just as she had thought, he had been totally clueless as to her plan behind everything. A gurgling noise sounded from within the room, spinning on his heel, Sasuke looked at the snake sanin as he desperately gasped for breath.
A kunai had pierced through his throat and after a few seconds ended his remaining life. Sasuke's charcoal eyes widened as he stared at the dead body of Orochimaru. He approached her with steady steps but stopped abruptly when Kisame knocked the door off its hinges and sent it flying in his direction.
"What the-"He started.
"Get the hell away from Sakura-chan!" Mayou yelled from behind Kisame's large form.
Sasuke himself knew that he was no match for a single Akatsuki member, but now there were 4 who were challenging him with his very own life. Stepping backwards, Sakura ran towards the group of Akatsuki members and felt Mayou embrace her tightly.
Kisame unsheathed his samehada and held it out towards Sasuke who narrowed his eyes at him. Running at him, Kisame was able to deliver a few blows to the youngest Uchiha. The shark like man took a look at Sasuke's bloody body. Cuts were bleeding from nearly every part of him as he urged his body to stand up.
Grunting in pain, Sasuke looked at Kisame and bowed his head so that his long raven bangs hid his closed eyes. Raising the sword above his head, Kisame was about to bring it down on Sasuke's already half destroyed body but a voice kept him from doing so.
"Stop! Please stop this Kisame..." Sakura pleaded.
Giving her a sympathetic look, Kisame stepped away from Sasuke as Sakura broke down in tears.
"I know he's a cold hearted bastard. But..."
The kunoichi fell to her knees as she tried to get the words out. She knew that with Orochimaru dead and Konoha aware of Sasuke's betrayal that he no longer had anywhere to go...
Sheathing the samehada, Kisame looked at the Uchiha before warning him.
"Don't ever come back here again."
And with that all of them but Sasuke left the cave and headed back to Akatsuki with an exhausted kunoichi being carried by none other than Kisame. Once arriving at Akatsuki safely, Sakura walked to her room with a saddened expression on her pale face.
Mayou knew how much things were tearing Sakura apart inside and out. She was becoming depressed since Itachi had yet to remember anything...
XxXxXxXx
Why didn't I let Kisame kill Sasuke!?!
That same question ran through Sakura's head the entire night as she tried to fall asleep. When she saw Sasuke in his bloody and beaten state her heart had seemingly cracked and shattered. It was like looking at Itachi about to be killed and she just couldn't live with that...
He looks so damn much like Itachi!
Is that why I couldn't bear to see him die?
What's wrong with me!?! It wasn't even Itachi!
No matter how many times sakura told herself that, she just couldn't shake it from her head. Her hand trailed to the emerald necklace that hung around her slender neck, night and day...
XxXxXxXx
The reason that Itachi still hasn't regained his memories is because no one has tried.
Well now I'm going to do it!
Racing towards the recovery room, Mayou opened the door and stood by Itachi's bed. Looking at his sleeping face as he dreamt on... She sighed and thought it better if she came back when he was awake.
Turning on her heel, Mayou was about to exit the room but heard a movement from behind her.
"Hello Mayou." Itachi said giving the woman a warm smile.
There was a question on his mind that Itachi couldn't help but ask the blue haired woman.
"I was just curious and wanted to, well... Who is the father of Sakura's unborn child?"
Looking away from the Uchiha, Mayou balled a fist and felt her anger boiling inside.
He doesn't even know that he's the father...
"Well? Can you please tell me Mayou...?"
Contemplating his words, the older woman looked Itachi in the eye and parted her lips.
"You're the father!" She screamed and neared him.
"Dammit, you're the father of her child!"
Shocked, Itachi stared wide eyed at Mayou who continued to rant on about it. His body began to tremble as he was met face to face with the truth...
"I'm... I'm the what?"
Crimson met sky blue...
