She analyzed the area trying to find a way out. There was a window but she new that it was probably set up with some traps. The only way out was through the door and boy she was not ready to do that. Well if it was her way out she probably was. She made her way to the door when suddenly the knob started to turn. She quickly went back to her chair and sat pretending to be bonded by the rope. In came Itachi with his "emotionless face".

"So I see you came back, maybe this time you can say something!"

"I don't have to listen to you, understand? You are my prisoner, in my domain! You will do as Isay!" Shivers ran down her spine. He had a way with words (when he rarely used them).

"OK "MASTER" Itachi. Can you please explain to me the reason for my capture?"

He stood there staring at her again, contemplating on what was to be said.

'Why does she make me feel like this?'

"You're here to be my partner, you are a very powerful medic-nin and I need you to be by my side and make sure that all injuries sustained will be healed immediately. Although I doubt that any serious injuries will be made, I still need the assurance, which if anything does happen you will be there to aid."

'Damn it! Why couldn't I just tell her I wanted her to be with me, beside me, be the one that I love? Oh I know, because I HAVE NO HEART TO LOVE WITH!'

"What makes you think I would actually do it?"

"If you don't I will kill your friends, the first one to go will be my dearest brother."

A gasp came from her mouth. He knew that although she may very hurt by Sasuke's actions, she was still very much in love with him.

"I will do whatever you want." 'WHY CANT YOU JUST GO THE DOOR IS WIDE OPEN, YOUR HANDS ARE UNTIED AND YOU ARE A DAMN GOOD FIGHTER!'

'I CANT HES WAY TOO POWERFUL, even if I did try to escape he would just be right in front of me when I turn back.' Sakura was trying to figure out whether to run or not but before she could even stand to run, Itachi spoke very shocking words.

"I know that you untied yourself while I was away, I am not stupid. You can get up; I have no reason to doubt that you will stay here, because you know of the dire consequences. You will be staying with me in Akatsuki's real hideout, in my bed."

"WHAT! I WILL NOT SLEEP IN THE SAME BED AS YOU, YOU PERVERT! I AM NOT SOME CONQUBINE THAT YOU CAN JUST SLEEP AROUND WITH! I AM A VERY IMPORTANT AND METICULAS MEDIC-NIN! I WILL HAVE MY OWN ROOM AND OWN BED THANKYOU VERY MUCH!" by now she was all red and her pink hair was way too light to describe her face appearance.

"Very well, you will have your own bed but we share the same bedroom, and the same bathroom. I will not take no for an answer and if you would rather stay with my accomplices, you can but let me warn you, they are very dirty and perverted people, all men, and older then you and, having no sexual or romantic relations with any woman for many years. They will try something." Her face went from a tomatoes color to a pale white.

"Fine I thank you for your consideration and respect for the female body." With that he reached out his hand for her to take and she cautiously gave him hers and they disappeared into the dark mist.

With Kakashi and dogs.

"I lost the scent Kakashi, they were so close to us and they just disappeared into a mist of chakra, what do you suppose we do?"

"We go to our planned destination and investigate."

"Alright."

With Naruto

"Hello Old man, Can I have some chicken and shrimp ramen? I am very hungry and very depressed. Someone has taken my best friend!"

"Was it that nice little girl with the pink hair?"

"Yes it was."

"Then it is on the house, that girl seemed very kind and smart! You need your energy to save her!"

"THANK YOU!" As he started on his first bowl of Ramen a quiet young woman came in with white eyes. She seemed very shy and quiet. But after many years of hard training and a psychologist, this Hyuga was very changed.

"Hello Naruto-Kun."

"Hinata? Is that you?"

"Yup, it's me, new and improved. How have you been Naruto-kun?" (YISTHERUMGONE-I WANTED TO MAKE HER CONFIDENT! SHE DESERVES IT)

"Not so good, Sakura has been taken by Itachi, Sasuke's brother. Wow, Hinata! You've changed, you seem more confident, all these years did some good to you!"

"The only reason I did it was so I can be closer to you. All that time when we were on separate teams I couldn't muster the courage to tell you how I feel about you. I would have thought I was obvious, but I guess it wasn't. Naruto for the past ten years and more, I have loved you…" At this point Naruto was flabbergasted; he could not believe what he had just heard.

"You… Love me?"

"Yes…"

"Why? Why would you love someone like me?"

"Because, you were always striving to be someone, to be noticed, to be accepted. I always wanted the same path, but my courage wasn't as great as yours. I looked up to you, always dreaming that you would notice me, that fight with Neji, in the chunin exams, I wouldn't have made it that far if it wasn't for you. You are my strength."

"Thank you. I am flattered, and I really don't know what to say, you never really talked to me, so I didn't get a chance to get to know you. But, after I get Sakura back, I will get back that chance with you."

"You love her don't you?"

"I love her, but not the way you think. After the chunin exams, I realized that my love for Sakura was a brother/sister sort of love. I will always be there for her."

"Ok."

"Well I got to go; I have to go get my sister back." As he walked away into the distance, she couldn't help but feel relief that all these years of rigorous training had done some good.

"I love you Naruto."
