Disclaimer:I do not own Naruto. Everyone knows that. However, I own this NEW fic. I have the right to make changes. So to all those who do not like what's going on, don't continue to read this fic. Understood?

Note: You might notice that the scenes were so quick. I made this because this fic won't exceed 15-20 chapters. Please bear with me.

Chapter Nine: Trapped

----------------------------------------

Sakura was waiting outside Sasuke's classroom. The first person who came out of the room is Naruto.

"Hi there!" he greeted Sakura. "Ms. Haruno!"

"Uzumaki Naruto." She said. "Hello."

"Waiting for someone? Someone like... Uchiha-kun?" he asked. "He's assigned in cleaning today. You may wait for him inside if you want to,"

"Oh no need. I could wait right here," she said. "Thanks for the offer."

"Okay. I must go now. Hinata-chan might be waiting for me too. Ja ne!" he waved his hand before leaving.

"Bye-bye!" she said. Then Sasuke suddenly appeared.

"Hey," he said. "Waited for so long?"

"No," she shook her head. "I just came here. Let's go?"

"Right." He answered, following her.

Sakura led him into a shortcut to the library. Sasuke was amazed that she knows this kind of way.

"Wow." He simply muttered. "You really know the ins and outs of our school."

"Yup." Sakura said. "Thanks to your brother, this way has been built."

"Really? He did this plan?"

"Yup. It's for him to escape his fan girls." Sakura said. "His fangirls outnumber the capacity of people to pass here. And no one knows this except you and me plus the teachers."

"This is awesome! My brother really has a brilliant mind!"

"Yup."

"Here we are already!" Sasuke exclaimed. "Gomen Kudasai!"

----------------------------------------

The librarian was standing on the counter. "Oh, hi! Isn't that Uchiha Itachi?"

Sakura came to her. "No, ma'am. That's Uchiha Sasuke, his younger brother." She said.

"Konnichiwa!" he greeted properly.

"You look like him. That same smile, that handsome smile!" the librarian reminisced. "You'll help me today, right?"

"Right!" the two students answered.

Therefore, they began to clean up the mess in the library. They were restocking the books, replacing the old ones and keeping the good ones. They dusted every corner, wiped out the dirt and in an hour, they've finished the entire library.

"I got to go, guys. I'll just leave you the key." The librarian told them. "Thanks a lot. You've helped me make it through."

"No problem." Sasuke said.

"Take care!" Sakura added. "Let's finish this and we'll go home."

"Okay."

They continued the work left and Sasuke carried the books away. As he was walking out of the library, the lock was accidentally clicked when he passed by the door. Much more to that, the key fell down while he was walking back.

"Alright. We're all set." He said. The door swung close when the wind blew.

"That sure was quick. Now, where's the key?" Sakura asked.

"It's in my pocket---" he was frantically searching through his back pockets. "Not in here?"

"What? Where is it now?" Sakura helped him out by scanning through his pants too.

"I don't know... wait! It must have fell down while I was going back here! It might just be outside." They both looked at the glass door and saw the key lying at the corridor.

"Whew. Safe." They both sighed. "Let's go now!"

When Sakura tried to open the door, she couldn't.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked, and he was the one who pulled the door. However, it's of no avail.

"Oh no..." he began. "Sakura, I think we're..."

"Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!" they both yelled...

----------------------------------------

"Hinata-chan!!!" Naruto greeted. "What took you so long?"

"I'm sorry! I had to run errands for the teachers." She replied.

"Where are we going today?" Naruto asked.

"I think I have a brilliant place in mind." Hinata said and she smiled. "Ikimasho ka?"

"Yup. Ready when you are, my sweet!" he said as he helped Hinata go up his motorcycle.

"Thank you." Hinata said.

"No prob!" he grinned at her. "Shall we?"

"Hai!" Hinata gleefully answered, and the motorcycle engine started. They zoomed across the road...

On the other hand, Sasuke and Sakura were trying to get themselves out of the library.

"I can't push it anymore!"

"You've got to try harder!"

"It won't budge!"

"I'll help you!" Sakura said, and she went to where Sasuke is. "Man, this exit is sure rusty and rigid."

"Yeah. It's of no use. Why do they put these old exits anyway? They should create a new one in case thing like this happen." Sasuke replied. "Gomen ne, Sakura-san."

"No problem! As long as we're together, we could get out of here, right?"

"Yeah." He answered. "We will."

"Now let's try once more! Maybe this time it will budge!"

"Hai!"

----------------------------------------

Itachi was drinking tea at a nearby café. He was supposed to see his car that way, because that street is the way to the Haruno residence from their school.

"I wonder what took them so long," he said. "Maybe they still went to a fancy restaurant!"

He grinned in contentment. "My otouto is sure making moves so he can have her."

He continued his tea when his friend Neji came in. "Hey,"

"What's up, dude?"

"Still the same, why are you here anyway?"

"My little brother would pass by here later. He's with your cousin."

"Oh I see," Neji replied. "Still fond of making matches, eh?"

"Yeah. I won't stop until they are married."

"Nah, you can't just barge in your brother's relationships."

"I know. I'll try to be careful. I personally don't want his feelings to be hurt."

"I guess you'd do everything for him, you're overprotective. Why don't you match yourself? You are the one who needs it." Neji teased him. "Huh?"

"No way! I still want to enjoy my life!" Itachi exclaimed.

"Dude, I think your heartbreak with your ex hinders you to love again. That's the reason why you want to protect your brother's feelings, right? You don't want him to experience what you did." Neji said. "I think it's time for you to open your heart again."

"I'll try to consider that." Itachi agreed. "For the meantime, I'll make sure my brother's relationship with your cousin blooms."

"Yeah right, the matchmaker you are!"

Neji, I think I'm not yet ready to open up my heart to someone. Not until the wound she left me heals... Itachi thought...

"What took those teens so long? It's already past nine!" Neji said. "Where are they?"

"In a fancy resto?"

"Those kids must not do that!"

"Relax! They're 18 now! No longer minors!"

"Dude, something might happen between them! You don't want to be an uncle at an early age, do you?" Neji explained.

Itachi suddenly spat out his tea. "Right! Let's find them!"

The two big brothers set out to find their missing siblings...
