Sorry for the late update, I've been having new ideas and I had to think on how to add them to my story. After a few days and some major headaches I finally finished my third chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, I just wish I did.
Enjoy.
Chapter 3
Sakura temporarily stopped her chakra flow. Her plan was to make it appear as though she was alive, but unconscious, when Juugo brought her to the rest of his team. She took a deep breathe, "finished."
Juugo nodded, waiting for when she was ready. Sakura's body fell limp and he easily caught her. Sasuke would not be happy if he let her escape, but he couldn't bring himself to kill her. Hopefully, Sasuke would understand. The Uchiha was cold, yet not cruel, he would never harm an innocent life. Maybe that's why Juugo admired him. He wasn't really sure.
He easily hoisted Sakura onto his shoulder and entered the base.
------
"What are you here for?" Sasuke questioned Sai. Said boy remained silent. "Nothing to say?" Still, no response. "We'll see what Sakura says." Sai's eyes widened. They captured her? Damn. How?
The door to the base slid open. "Juugo, keep her and her teammate separated." That…was a hole in Sakura's little plan. She heard the new orders Sasuke issued to his teammate. How the hell was she supposed to help Sai now?
"Why should they be separated," Juugo defended, not wanting to anger the Uchiha.
Sasuke answered as if it we're the most obvious thing in the world, "I cannot risk escape…"
'Damn him…' Sakura thought. She quietly whispered to Juugo, "Change of plans." Sakura instantly flared her chakra, noticed by everyone. She jumped down from Juugo's shoulder, and punched him in the stomach, she refrained from using her chakra, to keep from hurting him, which Juugo saw.
"Suigetsu, stop her." Suigetsu swung his sword on Sasuke's orders. Sakura ducked and used a swift kick to his feet, causing him to topple over. Reaching into her bag, fastened at her hips, she pulled out a poison. She injected it into Suigetsu, which paralyzed him.
Sai watched his teammate take on two opponents. She was trying to rescue him. They weren't going to get anywhere, without teamwork. Sai jumped to his feet from the rather uncomfortable spot on the floor he had previously occupied. Pulling a scroll from his pack, along with an ink brush, he quickly scribbled ink beasts and sent them after Sasuke.
Sasuke easily dodged the beasts and destroyed them all with his Kasanagi. (A/N: Idk if that's spelled right, and if anyone knows what those sword-like things Sai uses are called, let me know, I seem to have forgotten ^^) "I Haven't forgotten about you, Sai," Sasuke sneered. They both stood there, glaring at each other (A/N It's a glare off xD).
"Sasuke-kun!!! You can take him!!!" Karin cheered from the side of the room. She didn't notice Sakura approach her from behind, and inject, some kind of liquid into her. "What the hell are you doing? What is that stuff?" She asked as her body fell limp to the floor. "Damn it."
"It's a poison. It paralyzes the body from the neck down." Sakura replied standing over Karin, who hissed at her. She looked over at Sai, who was glaring at Sasuke, who in turn, did the same. "Are you finished?" Sakura interrupted them.
Sasuke turned his glare to her. On the floor was the rest of his team. "I see you've eliminated the others." Had he really been standing there that long? "How did you do it?"
"I poisoned them."
"I see. I assure you, I'm not that easy to capture."
"Wanna' bet?"
"You're annoying," Sasuke replied emotionless, resulting in a glare from the pinkette.
"Well if this isn't a friendly reunion?" Sakura jumped at another voice, interrupting her and Sasuke's little argument. It wasn't Sai, no, in fact, he seemed surprised to, looking in the general direction of the door, and the voice. Sakura followed his gaze to see Kisame Hoshigaki, standing there.
"Akatsuki…" Sasuke blankly stated.
Kisame drew his sword. "How about I kill you all here and now? It'll save me the trouble later on." He approached Sasuke. "You're Itachi's little brother." Kisame grinned, when Sasuke didn't reply. "You still havent' killed him, how weak," that struck a nerve. Sasuke allowed the curse mark to advance on him. He had full intent on killing Kisame now.
Sakura watched as Sasuke's skin burned with chakra. It was just like Juugo's, only Sasuke, being as stubborn as an Uchiha could be, ignored the pain. It must have been hard for him, but she refused to feel sorry for him. For all she cared, he deserved that curse mark.
Juugo stood from his position on the ground, being the only one on Sasuke's team, not poisoned. Sakura refused to hurt him, and he her. So they we're at a truce, or something like that. When he looked up though, he saw Sasuke give in to his curse mark. Sakura showed no intention of helping him. Of course, Sasuke got himself into this situation. Juugo did not want Sasuke to go through the same pain, as himself, even if was only to fight an Akatsuki member.
He rose to his feet fully and dashed in front of Sasuke, blocking Kismae's attacks. "Sasuke, leave here, now. Only more Akatsuki will come. Don't use the curse mark, I don't want you to go through the same pain as me."
"Juugo!" He heard Sakura's voice in the background.
"I'll stay here and slow him down, go on ahead. Sakura, go with him and once you're out of range, heal him."
Sasuke remained silent. He knew that Juugo did not want to hurt Sakura, he found that out the moment he brought her back, she had no scratches, none at all. Juugo usually killed his opponents. Sasuke was glad, he wasn't sure why, that the pinkette was still alive, relieved almost. Now he knew why Juugo cared for her so much, she had healed him when the curse mark advanced on him.
"I'll stay too then…" Sai replied, fake smiling.
"Like hell you will. You've gotta' go find Naruto and Yamato, tell them they need to stay in Suna, Akatsuki are everywhere, even here," Sakura informed her teammate.
"I can do that later." Sakura's eye twitched, was this guy really her teammate. She gave up on arguing with him.
"Dumbass, just don't get yourself killed. Sasuke, we're leaving. Come on, move." Sakura exited the base, followed by Sasuke. "Okay, problem number one…where the hell are we gonna' go?"
