~START~

Sakura

Cutting through bushes, pushing against trees, running through the slippery mud on the ground, heart racing and breathing heavily as the rain only just got worse for Sakura, but she wasn't about to give up. She could of jump from tree to tree but because of the hard rain the branches are both slippery and weak, they looked as if they could break if a crow landed on them. Just what kind of forest was this? or is this even a regular forest?.

'CHAAA!!! JUST KEEP GOING! WE'LL BE BACK IN THE VILLAGE IN NO TIME!!'

'That is if they don't catch us first! They must have figured I'm gone by now! It won't be long till they catch me, I need to move faster!'

Sakura yelled in her head as determination filled in her emerald colored eyes as she kept on running like there was no tomorrow. She could hear the crashing sound of thunder in the distance, though they felt as if they were right next to her. Sakura never liked thunder, just by the sound of them makes her jump. But she couldn't give up now, she's gotten so far, she was lucky she got out of the Akatsuki base no problem, but it wasn't over yet.

'Just how do I get out of this-'

Sakura gasped not even able to finish her thought as she halted, she froze where she stood as she saw a dark figure in one of the trees. It was hard to see due to the intense rain and darkness. But the only thing she could see were those pair of dark eyes. Sweat started to run down her head as the dark figure just stared into her eyes, not even blinking. Her heart stopped, her breathe ceased, her body was frozen. She could of swore it was…..

"I-Itachi?"

Sakura mumbled to the dark figure as the dark figure she thought was Itachi suddenly...hissed at her. Sakura stared at the dark figured questioningly as the dark figure started to move down the tree where she could see it's long scaly body slither down the dark, damped tree as it hissed at her again making it's fork like tongue come out. It was…just a snake. Sakura sighed in relief as the snake kept staring at her, not intending to stop anytime soon. Which was kind of freaky for just a regular snake.

'It's just a snake, all this rain must be going into my head, I'm starting to lose my mind...'

'YA DAMN RIGHT YOU ARE!!!'

Sakura rolled her eyes as she ignored her inner self's comment as she then ran past the snake as the snake never stopped staring at her as she ran. Another hiss came from the mysterious snake as it then slithered away into the darkness. Sakura kept running as she held onto her head with her good arm, all this rain was making her see things. Sakura then grunted as the salty water from the rain continued to hit the wound in her arm causing a stinging pain in her arm. She had no time to heal it, she needed to be as far away from the area as possible, even if she has no idea where she is. She needed to find some kind of shelter to get away from the rain, like a cave or something, but she highly doubt she would find a cave in this kind of forest.

RUSTLE!

SNAP!

Sakura gasped and stopped as she started hearing rustling in the bushes not just on one place, but everywhere, and she also heard what sounded like twigs snapping. The sounds where everywhere, like an army formed all around her, watching her every move. Her body started to shake, both from the cold and fear of the strange noises around her.

did they find her already?.

'DON'T JUST STAND THERE RUN!!!'

Sakura for once listened to her inner self and ran as fast as she could. She huffed and puffed from exaughstion starting to fill her, she was getting very tired, and weak, she felt as if she was going to collapse any minute. Sakura then looked around her surroundings in this what seemed like a never ending forest. She gasped as she now saw shadows of figures moving from behind the trees, from behind bushes, she could of sore she saw a pair of dark eyes glance at her for a second, then disappear. Sakura then tightly shut her eyes to get her away from whatever is going on. It's like this whole forest was haunted, like in one of those scary movies where the main girl was running from somewhere and she knew someone was stalking her, and trying to kill her. That's what Sakura felt right now, she felt like one of those innocent girls in the horror movies.

Only this was for real.

'It's all in my head, It's all in my head, It's all in my head, Nobody is there!, just calm down, I'm going insane!'

Sakura repeated in her head in order to calm herself down as she kept running, she still had her eyes closed to hide herself from whatever is following her, though it's as if she could never get away from whatever is stalking her, there's just no end. She would have stopped to fight but she had no weapons on her, she guessed one of the Akatsuki members took all her weapons away before chaining her up to the wall while she was unconscious.

'Get it together Sakura, Nobody is following you, your-' "AHHH!!!"

Sakura screamed out as she suddenly lost her footing on the slippery mud and fell face first to the wet, cold ground. She then grunted as she heard more rustling making her gasp as she quickly perked her head up from the ground looking around. It's like a helpless bunny couldn't do anything but just lay there as it was surrounded by a pack of big hungry dogs just waiting to pounce on their pray.

And Sakura was now the helpless bunny.

"W-Who's there!"

Sakura questioned shakily. The rustling continued as she then quickly stumbled to her feet to find her self no longer in the forest. She stared wide eyed as she was now in a huge opening of the forest where she heard water crashing, and more thunders in the distance. She saw just up ahead of her was a cliff. Sakura then ran to the cliff's edge and looked down the deep cliff to see running water crashing against the walls and big rocks of the cliff, the uncontrollable running water roaring loudly as it made impact with the walls of the cliff . She looked around the see no sign of any bridge to go across, it looked like a never ending river. Sakura then wrapped her shaking arms around her body for some warmth from the rain as she started to cough repeatedly.

'Great, I must be getting sick, Stupid rain'

Sakura cursed in her mind as she sniffled. Her body shook violently as the rain got worse, like it was never going to end. Sakura then heard a some foot steps behind her. She gasped as her body froze, she could feel someone else's chakra right behind her. She then turned her head around only to make her eye's widen to see two dark tall figures standing merely inches from her. The flash from the thunder only made the figures look scarier But the very first thing she saw were those dark red eye's. Sakura gasped in fright as she took a few steps away from them only to feel nothing under her. Before she could react, Sakura slipped from the edge and started to fall from the cliff. Sakura's screams echoed everywhere as she made her way down the running water with her arm out hoping just somebody would grab it and save her from falling to her death, but she felt nothing She was certain she would surly die. And the last thing she saw were only those crimson red eyes full of nothingness.

Itachi

Both Itachi and Kisame witnessed as the young kuinochi fell from the cliffs edge. Itachi and Kisame's eye's slightly widen as they went over to the edge and looked down to see nothing but running water and large rocks. Sakura most likely fell into the water, or may have landed on one of the rocks down below. Itachi glared down the running water as Kisame sighed.

"Well I can't say I'm glad, and I was really starting to-...HEY ITACHI WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?"

Kisame yelled out as Itachi suddenly jumped from the edge of the cliff and placed chakra to his feet as he jumped down the large crater from wall to wall in search for the girl. He made his way down deeper and deeper as he was running merely inches from the roaring water. His eyes looking around for the girl as he soon saw a huge water fall right up ahead.

And Sakura was no where in sight.

Itachi ran as fast as he could through the cliff's walls, and jumped on a few big rocks being careful not to fall into the water still searching for the girl. Itachi's eyes widen as he finally caught sight of the girl, she looked unconscious as the running water kept pulling her away. Itachi ran as fast as he could as the water fall was about to swallow her in. Itachi finally caught up to the girls limp body as he tried to reach out for her without falling into the water, for he would surly be washed away with her.

Itachi kept running as he reached his arm farther as he almost had grip on the girl until.....Sakura's body fell from the river and down the water fall, he was to late. Itachi's eyes widen as he jumped back on the wall to the edge of the water fall and looked down to see nothing but water. He couldn't explain his actions just now, she was just a weak, young kuinochi, right?. Itachi then gripped his fists and clenched teeth until he heard his partner clear his throat.

"Ummm, Itachi...looking for this?"

Itachi then looked up to the opposite side of the wall he was on to see his partner Kisame standing on one of the big rocks on the edge of the water fall holding out his arm as he was holding Sakura's unconscious body by the back of her red ninja outfit like she was some kind of basket. Kisame smirked as Itachi just looked at him with narrowed eyes. They then made there way back up the cliffs edge with Sakura's unconscious body.

Sakura

The pink haired girl started once again coughing making her slowly wake up. She then slowly opened her eyes, she couldn't see very well, everything was blurry. She was sitting on a hard, ruff surface. She then blinked a few times as she placed her hand on her aching, throbbing head as her short pink locks fell limply on her face.

'W-Where am I?'

The pink haired girl thought to herself as she felt something was covering her whole body, she looked down to see some kind of black and red cloak on top of her. She looked at it with confusion as she turned her head left to right looking around her surroundings. She could see she was in some kind of dark area, she still heard the rain as the hard rain drops made impact on the ground. Thunder was once again booming loudly making her jump slightly at the sound. Her vision started to clear up as she looked around again to see she was in some kind of cave.

"W-What happened?"

The pink haired girl mumbled to herself as she started coughing again, she sat up put her other hand to cover her mouth as she coughed.

"So your finally awake"

She heard a male voice call out as she ceased her coughing and looked up to her left to see a man with longish, raven hair, and dark empty eyes as he stared into her eyes. She blinked a few times at the man, he looked so empty and emotionless.

"Heh! You Almost Died That's What Happened!"

Another voice called to her right as she turned her head to the right to see another man with blue-like skin, he wore the same kind of cloak she had on. He was standing and leaning on the wall with a big sword standing next to him as he smirked at her. She clenched her head as it was throbbing so much she couldn't think, and her throat was frozen from the cold that she couldn't talk either. She was about to try and mumble something when the blue skinned man walked up to her as he pulled something out from his cloak and threw it to her lap.

"Here! I got your head band, Though it's...a little scratched up..."

The pink haired girl then put her hand down from her head as she looked down at the object in front of her. She then picked it up to examine it to see it was a her head band. Though it had a huge scratch through the leaf symbol of her head band. She moved her arm to touch the scratch as a sudden thrust of pain in her arm stopped her from doing so. She grunted as she let go of the head band and held her arm with her good arm and looked at it to see some kind of bandage wrapped around it. She just stared at it confused as she blinked a few times. The blue skinned man then crouched down to her level staring at her blankly.

"What?! Aren't you going to say something? Don't tell me your to scared to say Thank You for saving your life!"

"Kisame that's enough!"

The raven haired man commanded as he now stood up and walked over to Sakura as he stared down at her. She then looked up at the two men now in front of her questioningly. She then got the strength to finally ask the question she had been trying to ask them as soon as she layed eyes on them.

"W-Who are you? Who am I?"
