Sakura's eyes fluttered open. She was laying on a large feather bed. Her fingers laced together on her chest as though she were dead.
"Get up girl" In front of her stood the blue man. He was a great deal taller than her. The room was dark and damp.
She looked up at him with bright curious and fearful eyes. All the nights she had awoken as a child and not had her parents there crashed back to her. All the nightmare filled nights. Instinctively she pulled the blanket over her head as though she were trying to make a bad dream go away.
"Didn't Itachi tell you to get her clean up yeah?" An obnoxious voice cut through her childish fears.
"She's cowering.." Kisame muttered waving his fish like arms.
"Hard to believe she's a great medic… yeah"
Sakura didn't care. She pulled her pink hair in front of her eyes and latched onto her pillow tightly. It was dark under the blanket and still the musty smell of the room around her invaded her nose. She sneezed softly. Her guard still high, wary of the two Akatsuki members outside of her 'lair'.
With blanket and all she was lifted by Kisame. His larger stature hovering dangerously over her cocooned body. Just as quickly as fear shot through her and her muscles tensed she was set down, or rather roughly dropped on her ass on a rather hard surface.
She couldn't tell exactly how much time had passed since she'd ducked into the blanket but it was obvious they were gone. Slowly she crept out of the blanket peering from side to side. How had the Akatsuki, a gang of cold blooded killers have something so beautiful. Sakura had been placed on a stone bench within a garden. A few feet from her water glittered in a spring. It bubbled steadily, making her swoon. She'd kill for a hot bath.
Feeling slightly light headed she dropped into a crouch from the bench. The blanket still tangled loosely around her legs causing her to slip and sprawl across the ground. The pink haired teen giggled softly unraveling the black cover from her legs and stretching from her sprawled position. She laid on her stomach her arms in front of her and a foot still under the blanket.
"Sakura you've become a royal mess" she scolded herself half heartedly and crawled to her feet. Her eyes gazing around her in wonder. To her left was a large cherry blossom tree. The petals fell around her softly.
Even in situations like this she knew she had to remain sane and level headed. But, it wasn't natural to be serious for her. She rubbed her neck grinning brightly. No, for a girl with pink hair it seemed her personality matched her hair color. The springs were calling to her. The steam rising, and the wind carrying it to brush lightly against her face. Her spirit would not be broken. Its not like she hadn't dealt with cold hearted killers before.
The ground around the spring was filled with soft grass. She removed her sandals and dropped them to her side. Again she found what she needed. A change of clothes, they would be big on her but acceptable.
Happily cooing she leapt into the spring. Shedding her clothes once in the water. She tossed them to the bank.
From the branches of a tree. Eyes gazed down upon her. Red, as though filled with blood. Sakura was graceful enough. Her personality a bit airy, as though she were a ditz. She was completely at ease with the Akatsuki. Perhaps she chose to ignore the face she were a captive. He'd remind her that she was soon enough.
Itachi licked his lips. He couldn't wait to toy with the girl. Now he activated his sharingan to get a closer look at her. A bright aura surrounded her. It was filled with hidden emotions and secrets. Perhaps she wasn't a complete air head. Now he drew closer leaping silently into another tree. Innocence radiated off her form. She had a rather well shaped body he noted as she stepped out of the water.
Graciously long legs, her breasts sloped nicely, and her hair was sleek against her back just barely brushing her shoulders. Silently he chuckled. If anything he was a guest of sorts.. That was until he grew bored and decided to let the other Akatsuki have their fun with her. Then they'd leave her body near the sand. The village of the hidden leaf would blame Suna and there would be a war. How perfectly she fitted into his hands.
He stared down at her again. Her pale feminine body vanished under the soft folds of one of his many cloaks. She was swift at dressing now. Her fingers fluttered to her old clothes drawing out a roll of restraint tape. Sakura bound her chest and wrists swiftly.
Now he moved. Dropping beside her on the ground. He purposely stepped on a twig making a sharp crack so she would spin to face him.Instead of her spinning she merely slid into the pants he provided her and pulled on the black sleeveless followed by the longsleeve fishnet shirt.
She swiveled sharply at him. Her green eyes locking onto his cold red ones.
"Its not wise to stare into my eyes kunoichi" Itachi's voice was cold. The way it had been made over time.
Her cheeks flushed and she looked away clearly flustered. "R-right" her voice was barely a whisper. Why did he have to look so much like Sasuke. Damn him!
Sakura padded away. Her healed sandals actually quite quiet as she moved to a comfortable place under the cherry blossom tree. She was a sight to behold. Her fine pink hair blowing in the wind softly, it was still slightly damp. The clothing she wore looked out of place for her serene face. He liked it. The way she fit easily into his clothing. With his scent on her. There was something that excited him about her innocence.
He frowned. She was a threat even now. As her face was flushed peacefully and tilted up towards the thick branches of the tree. Itachi would make sure to get rid of her once and for all. She wouldn't be able to protect his brother if they met up to do battle again.
Noticing her tensed form he watched her closely. Sakura vanished in a flurry of Sakura petals appearing on the other side of the spring. She tilted her head back and forth. Then furiously shook it. When she thought she pouted slightly and her head fell to the ground. It was rather childlike and refreshing.
"Your still here" she said quietly.
"hn" he answered back.
"If I understood the male language.. I don't think I'd be able to respond to that" Her lips twitched downward into a wary frown.
If she ran he would chase and catch her within moments. It would be pointless. The look he knew all too well reflected in her eyes. Fear and an emotion he couldn't place.
"You can't run" He said giving her a dark glare.
"…I can" she answered turning her head and sitting in a crouch. With eyes closed she drew her knees to her chest and embraced them, still leaning over the water.
"I'd catch you" He answered smugly. "and kill you" he added.
"I'll still run" she answered hold her hands out in front of her.
"Why?" Was the girl stupid? Or did she wish for her death?
"I .. Don't have an answer for you" she said.
"Pathetic"
The two had found a strange companionship. With hatred mingled words they passed back and forth. Neither of them making the move to silence the other.
One of light and one of dark. They basked in the glory of the other. Experiencing a bit of life the other never tasted.
"I hate you" He hissed at her.
"I'm not fond of you either" she answered back snarling at him. Sakura retrieved her blanket. She placed it under the tree and curled up. Tossing a few careless curses at him she closed her eyes.
Itachi growled at her stubbornness to shut up even as she was halfway asleep. He entered back into headquarters to summon Kabuto. The large shark man would pass as a baby sitter for the time being.
Sakura's eyes fluttered open. It was hard to adjust to the darkness around her but she did gradually. With a speed Sasuke would find impressive she launched herself over the walls. At the same moment a flurry of black and red behind her let her know she'd already been spotted.
Desperation bit into her stomach. She used even more chakra. It spiked sharply as she leapt away. Her muscles screaming, she couldn't use this much chakra without fading at a hazardous pace.
Behind her trailed Itachi. He was having quite the time trying to predict her moves. He had to use the sharingan just to keep up with what direction she was going in. It was obvious she had no plan and her reserves were running on low.
Get up, She hissed mentally as she fell from the trees to the solid ground and ran. Sweat falling into her eyes almost painfully.
When he caught her. She thrashed furiously. Sakura screamed like a dying animal. Sobbing and wailing.
"You will die" He hissed with a hand around her neck.
It was now her turn to smile. He looked at her confused.
"No one will care" she answered biting her lip to keep tears from spilling any further.
"Not even your backstabbing Kazekage" he added cruelly.
"He never cared about anyone" She answered coldly. Now she fought. Her nails digging into his hand. Itachi didn't seem to notice. He lifted her from the ground and held her up. Sakura's sandals skimmed the hard dirt floor as she swayed back and forth. Her attempts to get free were useless.
"I'm not going to kill you" He whispered smirking cruelly. "I'll make you wish I killed you"
"Whatever Uchiha. I will never that it was you that killed me" She landed a swift unsuspecting blow in his face. "I'll kill myself before you can kill me"
He drew his kunai driving it into her side and twisting. Itachi was careful to make sure he hit nothing vital. She threw her head back in a scream that echoed around them. The pain exploded inside her. As though something tore through her chest to get to the pain in her side and send a million needles through the sore.
-----------------With Gaara--------
Gaara closed his eyes giving everyone harsher glares than normally. He'd thrown one of the council members from an upper story of the tower when he suggested that Gaara stop searching for the missing leaf nin.
'She means nothing to me'
'Just everything'
'I was her pet'
'She's your pet'
'She's a pain'
'The pain she gave us felt … good.'
The Kazekage blocked out Shukaku and went back to sifting through papers.
'She's mine' Shukaku's voice rose up and boomed painfully loud through his head.
'She's just a vile weakling'
'Mine!' His demon roared again. He furiously threw himself up against the seal trying to break free.
'She belongs to the younger Uchiha'
'Miiinnnee' Shukaku clung desperately to the seal trying to remove it and take over Gaara. He furiously snarled tearing about in Gaara's mind and making a mess.
'What do you suppose we do?'
'Take her back of course' He let out a dark chuckle.
'She's just a pathetic leaf nin.'
'Mine' Hissed Shukaku possessively.
Without knowing what he was doing. Gaara found himself doing just as Shukaku wanted. Leaving the tower on a wave of sand. He trekked through the desert into the mist.
'How do we find her?' Gaara muttered a curse at his weakness.
'let me have control!' Shukaku rampaged around snarling and foaming at the mouth. 'I neeed heerrr' He hissed inside.
'We'll get her' Gaara finally answered his inner demon reluctantly.
While his guard was down an intense anger alerted him Shukaku was gaining control. The two battled furiously inside. Finally Shukaku gaining control leaving Gaara still human as ever looking. His eyes gleaming with an animal's intensity for the hunt.
The bloody sand he was so fond of sought her out.
