Hi! I need your help with something. I have gotten a request to change the main pairing into NejiXsaku. What do you think about that? Should it stay ItachiXsakura or would you like something else better?

On with chapter 6

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of it's characters.

Chapter 6

Sakura swallowed hard. There she was, pinned against a tree by Itachi Uchiha in a very intimate position. And she couldn't do anything. Again.

Still trying to avoid direct eye contact she concentrated on his face. And had to smirk. There, at his left cheek was a dark purple bruise-most likely caused by the punch she had given him when they had first met.

Itachi, noticing her change of thought positioned his knee even higher between her tights

Sakura, slowly getting really nervous due to their proximity lost her smile and struggled against his firm grip but as soon as she noticed Itachi leaning even closer she stopped.

Crap she thought I can't do anything. Again.

She wasn't able to move an inch with his hands securing her in place. Feeling tears trickling in the corners of her eyes she quickly blinked them away. Don't show him your weakness, don't show him your weakness, don't- while thinking that she suddenly had to suppress a snort, Oh how stupid she had been. She wasn't inside of this strange building for several hours now and she had never gotten the idea of checking her chakra levels.

She had rested quite al lot so they should have recovered enough to fight this asshole.

Cautiously concentrating her chakra into her fingertips she could see his crimson glance shift towards her hands. Of course, you couldn't hid something like that from a sharingan user

"What are you do-"but soon he was speaking to air which had replaced her presence in the space of one second.

Sakura, having simply shaken off his hands and hurriedly jumped on a large twig above her was enjoying the look of utterly shock on Itachi's face. Thanks to her perfect chakra control she was able to hide her trail almost completely.

Most likely he thought that she had shifted her place with something and was currently running away as fast as possible.

He would never think that she had just jumped away. She smirked again.

Let's see who the prey is now!

Silently climbing the tree she made a shadow clone and sent it towards another tree, a few metres away from her momentary position.

She let the clone snap into her weapon pouch and directed it to throw about five rusty nails in Itachi's direction.

He didn't move an inch and was soon hit by the shot, but he disappeared with a puffing sound.

So he made a shadow clone, too. I wonder where he is. But this question was soon overdue because he reappeared behind her shadow clone and sliced it with a kunai.

Well Sakura thought obviously his eyesight is really bad- he couldn't even detect that that one was just a clone

Jumping towards the neighbouring twig, away from Itachi she slowly reached into her weapon pouch. Taking out one of the nails she aimed it towards a few bushes at her opposite side. As soon as the metal had touched the leaves and had caused a sound Itachi's form vanished from the tree again and reappeared closely by the place she had thrown the nail at.

Happily glancing back and thinking about how stupid the Uchiha-killer really was she started to make her way back towards her camp to fetch Neji and Sai.

After a few minutes she reached the temporary campsite. The two boys were still sleeping soundlessly so she cautiously moved towards them and started to shack Neji.

He awoke with a start and looked strangely at her. "You okay?" she asked him. He slowly nodded and started to get up. Sakura shifted towards Sai and repeated the procedure. He reacted in the same way Neji did.

Shaking her head about the two so similar boys she started to tell them about her encounter with Itachi earlier this day.

"And can you believe that they used to call him a genius? He's way stupider than Naruto. Even he would have noticed that trick!" she finished while chuckling.

But she immediately stopped as soon as she saw the glances Neji and Sai gave her.

"I am not stupid!" they synchronistical said. "Huh?" Sakura made confused "what are you guys talking about?"

It finally sunk in and she jumped backwards "Oh come on, please not you again!" she depressively sighed.

Both of the boys smirked and then puffed away. At the place Neji had been before stood Itachi Uchiha.

"What have you done to them?" Sakura demanded to know.

"Don't worry. Deidara and Tobi have taken them back towards the base." Itachi blankly said.

"By the way if I were you I would avoid Deidara for a while-he's quite angry 'cause of the new hairstyle you gave him."

Sakura just snorted and looked at him sourly. "Don't tell me what to do!" she hissed back.

Said girl rushed toward him and tried to kick him in the groin but he was way too fast for her.

He sidestepped her and put a kunai next to her throat. "You are coming back with me, immediately."

She huffed darkly and bit him into his hand as hard as possible. Itachi flinched for a short moment but soon got his balance back and strengthened his grip.

His blood dropped down on her black shirt and made wet, dark stains. She smirked. At least she had been able to hurt him-twice already.

Something the great Sasuke hadn't solved so far

Now getting really angry Itachi hissed:"Stop it already! We made a deal, Sakura. And I won't allow you to turn it down."

The trapped girl continued to struggle but wasn't able to hurt him again. He had moved his hand away from her range and positioned his body directly behind her. She could feel his muscular chest pressing against her back and shuddered. She didn't want to be so close to him.

Itachi who was able to feel her discomfort scouted even closer to her petite form. Slinging his other arm around her hip he pulled her closer to his body and whispered into her ear:" What are you going to do now? You promised me that you would do everything I wanted you to do. You have the choice- you can just heal my eyes or I will ask you for another favour."

Sakura swallowed hard. "And what favour would that be?" she forward asked.

She got her answer immediately as his hand started to move downwards under her skirt and between her tights.

His action set Sakura's teeth on edge and she started to jerk around. Her legs snapped together in alarm but this action served only to press his hand closer. She could feel his index finger pressing through the material of her shorts and her panties and into the dip where her entrance lay. Blood rushed to her face.

"S-Stop it!" she shouted "I will heal your eyes, but stop it!"

Itachi slowly drew his hand back and smirked darkly.

Turning her around so that he could face her he did a hug-like gesture and whispered into her ear, with the kunai still pressing against her artery: "We will start tomorrow morning. Be prepared. And now I will lead the way back. Follow me and don't try anything stupid. I can detect your chakra without any problems."

Sakura gulped but nodded nonetheless.

They arrived at the estate after a few hour of extremely fast leaping through the forest

They circled the building until Sakura could detect the entry. A neat wooden door with white lacy-curtains.

No wonder that nobody has been able to find the Akatsuki-hideout this far. Who would assume such a secret place to be in the middle of a forest, looking like the house of your own grandma? Sakura thought depressed. As soon as I am free I will tell Tsunade about this and then she will send ANBU to investigate-No she laughed sadly I won't be able to tell her. I will most likely never be able to speak to her again. I'm a missing-nin.

Itachi stepped onto the doorstep and fished a silver key out of his pocket. Hey! Sakura immediately recognized this one. I have got the same key. So this one is for the entry!

She smirked. Not bad. Maybe it will be useful later on.

Itachi meanwhile had opened the door and held it open so that Sakura had to pass him in order to get inside. She moved away as far as possible while she passed the threshold but her shoulder touched his chest nonetheless. With goose-bumps clearly visible on her arms she stepped inside and was welcomed by dark walls, dark furniture and dark people.

Well, I am home again she thought sarcastically.

Several people stood in the entrance hall; Deidara, with a deep red face, most likely due to hardly suppressed anger, the strange Tobi-guy with the orange mask still covering his face,

a man with a plant over his head and the shark-like man, Gai had told her about so much. She firstly couldn't remember his name but after a few seconds it recurred again: Kisame.

They all looked at her like she had grown a second head. Huffing sullenly she turned away and showed them her right shoulder while folding her arms

Itachi meanwhile had closed the door again and positioned himself at her left side so that she had to face him.

Rolling her beautiful green eyes she turned around again and faced the opposite direction.

She could clearly hear sounds of amusement coming from the other Akatsuki members. So Itachi isn't especially popular. Sakura thought while smirking to herself.

Itachi ignored the disrespect she was currently showing him and ordered: "Deidara. Show her to her new room. And be careful, she's kinda tricky."

Bastard! She thought He damn well knows that Deidara is totally angry at me.

Her presumptions were soon confirmed when he saw him gleefully smirking while Deidara slowly made his way towards her.

She had to bit hardly on her lip to suppress herself from calling him by a very unlovely term of endearment. Deidara promptly stood in front of her and his pout somehow resembled Naruto's when she wouldn't pay for his ramen bill.

Smiling slightly at the memory of the good old days she followed Deidara.

They made their way towards the group of men standing in the hallway and Sakura noticed a very strong odder coming from Kisame. Uh, he smells like fish gone bad. Barley able to suppress a gagging sound she quickened her footsteps and was soon walking directly next to Deidara. He didn't pay any attention to her except for an assessing glance. They moved through several corridors until they reached a staircase. It was black, which didn't really surprise her. Everything in this house was black, brown, red or dark-bluish. Except for the white curtains she had seen from outside.

She wondered who had put them there. The image of Itachi hanging it up while wearing a white apron suddenly occurred to her. Snorting audible she could see Deidara turning around and giving her a confused glance.

"What's so funny, yeah?" he asked her suspiciously-maybe he thought that she had laughed about his hair. He seemed to be quite sensitive about that subject. "Nothing. Just a funny thought." She quickly assured him.

Slowly nodding he started to climb the staircase and was followed by Sakura. As soon as they had reached the top Deidara turned around and moved towards several doors to his left side. Stopping after the third one he opened it-it was black of course- and stepped inside. The room was quite similar to the one they had found the real Neji in. Red walls, black furniture. But she got a big bed with black silk sheets and a desk with several medical books lying on it.

Could be worse Sakura thought while remembering her cell in the basement.

She slowly made her way towards the wooden desk in order to study the books.

Deidara had already closed the door and seated himself on her bed. Answering to the quizzical glance he had received from Sakura he said: "Itachi told me to stay with you so you won't be able to escape again."

"Okay…" she stated unsurely. She wasn't really comfortable with this man watching over her all the time.

But she shrugged her shoulders nonetheless and continued to examine the books Itachi had placed there. They all held the same topic: Eyes. She wasn't really surprised and knew she would most likely have to read them but she was way to fidgety right now.

Looking back at Deidara she contemplated about what to say to him. She never had been one to enjoy silence like Sasuke or Kakashi had.

Finally having some sort of sudden inspiration she cautiously walked over to him. "You want me to cut your hair properly? It's looking a bit messy right now…"

She received a cold glance "Oh really? I wonder why?" he sarcastically answered her.

"Look I am sorry but it was the only way to leave this base." Sakura honestly explained to him.

Deidara examined her for a few seconds and then slowly nodded. "All right. It can't get worse I guess…" She searched for her kunai in her weapon pouch but noticed that it was vanished. Most likely due to Itachi. He must have stolen it during their fight in the forest.

Grinning sheepishly and explaining the lack of cutting-instruments she was rewarded by a small snort given from Deidara.

Maybe this guy wasn't that bad after all.

You want me to add a bit of DeidaraXSakura? Or would that be too many pairings for one story? Need your help so please review! ;)
