Summary: Sakura has been Kidnapped by the Akatsuki, so after months and months of her old friends not coming to her rescue Sakura has finally given up hope and decides to make the best of this situation.

Chapter 10: Taku and Akira

The whole way back to Konoha Sakura was fuming at Neji.

"Let me go!" Sakura yelled for about the hundredth time. Neji just ignored her like he did all the other times. When they got back to Konoha, Neji took her to the Hokage's office, and sat her down in a chair.

"welcome home Sakura." Shikamaru said with a smirk on his face.

"I don't know why you brought me back when you know very well that i will just leave the first chance i get. It would just be easier to give up on me like you did before and let me stay with Itachi. For god sake i have the mans kids inside me." Sakura yelled

"I'm sorry Sakura but you know to many of Konoha's secrets and jutsu's. You will stay here. Now you can either stay on your own free will or i can make Anbu make sure that you stay here." Shikamaru said. Sakura just turned the other way while Neji and Shikamaru talked about the mission.

Back With Itachi

Itachi started back for the headquarters after he lost neji's and sakura's chakra trail. He felt an on coming chakra coming his way so he quickly masked his and hid. Well this is weird. Akatsuki usually doesn't let there enemies live, i better hurry back and make sure that they aren't dead. When Itachi got back he saw the members sitting around a table.

"Good you back" Kisame said "wheres Pinky?"

"What happened you let them live why?" Itachi questioned with his usual cold voice.

"They left a bit after they realized the Hyuuga kid left with Sakura" Sasori replied "and I'm assuming shes still with him, probably already in Konoha by now." Itachi just glared at him and started to walk back towards the door. " and ill also assume that you know that you cant go get her in Konoha. We have our own missions to attend to." Sasori said. Itachi then disappeared and appeared behind Sasori with a kunai to his neck.

"Right now she is my only mission." Itachi said

"Leave now and you will be turning your back on the Akatsuki, if you do that we will be forced to hunt you down and kill you and the Sakura." Sasori said with a smirk across his face. Itachi new it wouldn't be smart to put Sakura's life in danger so he just punched Sasori sending him across the room. He then proceeded towards his own room and slammed the door, trying to figure out what he was going to do.

Back With Sakura

"Well were do you propose i stay?" Sakura yelled at Shikamaru.

"Cant you stay in the Uchiha mansion, this is so troublesome." Shikamaru replied "Neji could you please escort her to the Uchiha mansion." They were about to leave but then the door opened and Gaara stepped in. Sakura was sat down again and had to listen to another report that Gaara gave about sand and leaf Anbu. He then asked to stay in leaf for a couple of months due to the fact that he had many Kazekage meetings and jobs that would occur in leaf.

"actually if you wouldn't mind we need someone to stay at the Uchiha mansion and watch Sakura to make sure she doesn't try to leave or anything." Shikamaru replied making Sakura's eyes go big.

"It shouldn't matter if he minds i mind!" Sakura yelled " He will probably try to kill me while i sleep." Sakura said throwing a glare in Gaara's direction

"Like you would be even worth my time." Gaara spat back at her. "But if you would like me to then I'm sure she wont be to much trouble." Sakura was getting more and more irritated and was about to try and stand up but Neji had a firm grasp on her shoulder making her stay still. After they were all finished talking, Gaara picked Sakura up and threw her over his shoulder.

"You know this would be much easier if you just untied me i am perfectly capable of walking." Sakura hissed at him.

"I don't mind carrying you it just makes it easier to make sure you don't try anything stupid. Ill untie you once we get to the Uchiha mansion." Gaara replied

" You don't even know how to get there." Sakura said

" Thats why you are gonna tell me where to go." Gaara said in an uncaring voice

"Fine turn left here." Sakura replied in a bored tone. Little did Gaara know till they had been walking for about 3o minutes that she was just saying random directions and wasn't really trying to get to the Uchiha mansion. Gaara set her down and pinned her up against a wall with one hand on her throat.

"This game is getting old Haruno." Gaara said enjoying the sight of seeing Sakura gasping to get some air into her lungs. Sakura thought for sure that she was gonna die when they heard a familiar loud blond hair ninja come up

"Yo, Gaara easy up on Sakura, that evil Itachi probably brainwashed her." Naruto said trying to get Gaara to release Sakura.

"Whatever." Gaara said releasing her. " She wont tell me how to get to the Uchiha mansion mind telling me?" Gaara asked Naruto while slinging Sakura over his shoulder again.

" Ok yeah ill take you there." Naruto said while leading the way. When they finally got there and Naruto left they were standing in the room while Gaara cut the chakra binds that held Sakura. Once he was done they stood there in silence for a while.

"Well I'm going to get to sleep so could you like leave now?" Sakura asked. "Im sure you can fine some other room to sleep in." Sakura said opening the door.

"No." Gaara replied

"What do you mean no you cant stay in here I'm trying to get to sleep." Sakura yelled

"I don't sleep and you might try and leave if i leave you alone so i will stay here and watch you." Gaara said

"Fine i don't care, but don't you dare touch me or think anything like that." Sakura replied while climbing into bed

"Don't flatter yourself, i wouldn't touch something like you." Gaara said while sitting in a chair in the corner of the room. After he felt her go to sleep he went into a slight meditative state. The next day was quite similar every where Sakura went Gaara went. She couldn't even take a shower without him standing on the other side of the door. The next couple of days went by the same way, she started to get even more depressed she couldn't figure out why Itachi hadn't come for her or at least written to her. She rarely spoke to anyone except Gaara, who rarely responded. In a sense Gaara sort of reminded her of Itachi which saddened her even more. Eventually days turned into weeks and weeks into months and Sakura found herself in a hospital room in so much pain because she was finally giving birth to her two kids. After a couple of excruciating hours Akira a girl with Itachi's hair and Sakura's eyes was born and Taku a baby boy with Itachi's hair and eye color. After they were born hope started to come back into Sakura's life. Gaara was not here anymore and Sakura now had no intentions of leaving Konoha. Sakura still thought of Itachi every once in a while, but he was only a memory now. Whenever she looked into Taku's eyes she always saw Sasuke or Itachi. It wasn't long before both of them perfected there sharingon. Sakura was so amazed at how fast she figured all Uchiha kids were probably geniuses. One day she was in the house doing some dishes when she heard Akira scream from the backyard and immediately went out and saw the familiar Akatsuki coat. Akira was already on the ground she was obviously pushed aside and now Taku was trying his best to keep this stranger away from Akira, but what could a little six year old do against a full fledged Akatsuki member.

"Hey you get away from my kids." Sakura yelled with a kunai in her hand.

"Good there you are, we have orders from the boss to take someone close to the Kazekage and Naruto back to headquarters." The stranger said. Sakura looked at him, she thought she knew all the Akatsuki members but she didn't recognize him.

"I'm sorry to tell you but you will not be taking me back to the Akatsuki." Sakura yelled

"Fine then ill just take this one." he said grabbing Taku and vanished but not before throwing a note at Sakura.

If you want to see you kid again you will come to the location located on the other side of this note. Bring Naruto and the Kazekage With you and no one else.

- Akatsuki

Sakura looked at the other side and saw a map to a location she new all to well. I swear to god Itachi if you have anything to do with this i will kill you. Sakura looked over at Akira and picked her up and told her to go pack because she would be staying with Aunt Ino or Aunt Hinata which ever she preferred.

"No mommy your going after that man who took Taku aren't you. Let me come with you." Akira yelled stomping her foot.

"No Akira your to young this is not a game this is dangerous now go pack you bags." Sakura told her in a serious tone

"Weren't you the one who always told me that i was just as strong as Taku and any of the other ninja in the academy. Let me come!" Akira yelled with a familiar pink chakra growing around her. Sakura sighed and knew there was no use arguing with her she was just like her.

"Ok Akira go pack to go on your first mission as a genin." Sakura said ruffling her hair. Akira jumped for joy and went to her room. Sakura went to go pack as well and hoped that she wasn't making a mistake in letting Akira join her on this journey.

Back With The Man and Taku

"Hey you better let me go." Taku said still kicking the man

"Shut up you little kid I'm sure you mom will come to save you soon enough." The man said. Once they got to the Akatsuki headquarters the man locked the kid up in his room and went to go report to the boss. Leaving Taku in there by himself probably wasn't a very smart move this kid was causing a lot of noise yelling and kicking the door and breaking everything he could find. Soon many Akatsuki members were surrounding the door trying to figure out who was causing all the noise. Eventually Itachi came out of his room with his sharingon activated.

"What the hell is making all that noise." Itachi yelled as he walked to the other members. They all pointed towards the door. Itachi went towards the door and tried to turn the knob but found it locked so he just went and kicked the door down. After a bunch of dust cleared everyone just stood there in shock including Taku who saw Itachi standing there and was trying to figure out why he was looking into another pair of sharingon eyes with his own and why this guy looked just like him. When Itachi saw this kid he immediately thought of Sakura.

"Kid, why are you here causing so much noise?" Itachi asked

"How should i know some guy dressed like you came and took me away from my mom and sister." Taku yelled

"Who's you mom and sister?" Itachi asked

"Why do you want to know? And why do you have the same eyes as me only me and my sister can do that trick." Taku yelled

"I'm sure you will find out soon enough now tell me your mothers name." Itachi yelled at Taku this time. Taku's eyes went wide no one ever really yelled at him like that and it scared him. He began to cry.

"Sakura Haruno." Taku choked out. Everyone went wide eyed they all immediately knew whos kid this was. Itachi then left and went in search of the man who took him. He was a farely new member to Akatsuki and this was his first mission. Itachi ran into him and punched him and he flew against the wall.

"What the hell, why did you do that?" the man yelled

"I want you to take that kid back to his mother now." Itachi yelled as he pulled him up by his collar.

"Why i saw that his mom is real close with the raccoon and fox demon. Alls we have to do is kidnap her when she comes and tries to rescue them and then the demons will come to us." He said with a proud smirk on his face. Itachi hit him again.

"Don't argue with me i said take him back to his mother NOW." Itachi yelled. Then they heard a crash.

"Theres no need to take him back his mothers here." They heard a familiar voice yell. "Uchiha i don't know what you have planned but you better give me back my son now." Sakura yelled. Itachi looked at his and his stare softened. Then they heard a little voice behind Sakura

"mommy why does he have mine and Taku's eyes." Akira asked. Itachi immediately shot his gaze to the little girl standing behind Sakura.

"Sakura." was all Itachi could manage to get out. He looked deep into her eyes and she looked sad and pissed at the same time.

"Give me back my son now." Sakura yelled again.

"Mommy!" Taku yelled running towards her but the man who originally kidnapped him stopped the kid and picked him up and carried a kunai against his neck.

"I don't know whats going on but I'm still going forward with my plan. The boss will surely be pleased with me if i pull this whole mission through." The man said. Sakura turned to him and had the familiar pink chakra glowing around her.

"You better get that knife away from him if you know whats good for you." Sakura yelled. Then Kisame went up behind the man and told him that the kid he was holding hostage was Itachi's son and that if he wanted to remain in Akatsuki let alone alive then he would put the kid down and give him back to Sakura. Taku hearing this shot a gaze at Itachi

"Dad?" Taku said looking at him. Sakura looked at Taku

"Yes Taku, Akira this is your dad." Sakura said. Akira started to cry and ran up to him grabbing one of his legs through the cloak. The man finally put the kid down and left the room. Taku then ran to Itachi and grabbed his other leg. Itachi then turned off his sharingon which most people don't see unless hes going to bed. He softened his gaze and smiled. Sakura walked up to them and looked Itachi straight in the eyes and smacked him across the face. He looked at her shocked.

"Hey i didn't have anything to do with the kidnapping of Taku. You know that if i knew i would have never let it happen." Itachi said putting his hands up in defense.

"Thats not for all this happening. Its for just abandoning me, you left me in Konoha never wrote to me once, never tried to rescue me and take me away. You just left me there." Sakura practically yelled at him.

" did you think i wanted to do that i wasn't aloud to rescue you. If i would have left the Akatsuki would have considered me a traitor and went and killed both me and you." Itachi yelled back

"That doesn't change the fact that you left me to raise our kids by myself on my own. You left your kids without a father and you don't seem to care." With that statement Sakura picked both Akira and Taku up and carried them out of the house. Itachi just punched the wall in frustration and walked in the opposite direction of them.
