Okay so I talked to a few friends (who have yet to review!!! Lol) and we all agreed, for the sake of non-confusion, that I need to explain the story a little bit…so the story takes place in the Naruto anime world, only they have our modern technology. For example…the bus *ding* (Lol), and TV, actual phones (maybe)…I am still kind of deciding about how much technology to put into it considering the fact that Naruto is unique for not having soo much technology….and please don't ask me why ninjas would take the bus, when it would be so much faster to just use their ninjutsu to get places…lol so I hope that explained the story, even just a little bit, and if not let me know and I can answer any questions.

Disclaimer: I in no way possible own Naruto or the characters…*sigh*

It's Going to Be a Long Night

~Chapter 2~

Sakura moved quickly and silently past the hospital. She didn't know quite what had possessed her to annoy the crap out of Hidan like that, but she had sadistically enjoyed it.

The reason why she had caught herself looking at Itachi Uchiha was because of his sharingan eyes. The moment she had seen them, she had known, without a doubt, that he was Sasuke's older brother…that and the uncanny resemblance, what little there actually was, in their looks. She was also a bit relieved and terrified that they had completely different personalities…that and she actually knew that Itachi was far more dangerous than Sasuke would ever become…and that thought made her smirk to herself just a little bit.

'But the bad thing is that I just attracted the attention of him and the Akatsuki, and now they are following me! How could I have been so stupid!' Sakura was mentally smacking herself in the head over her slip up. She had been running away from Sasuke and everyone else for four years now, and had never brought any attention to herself, and then in the space of minutes, she makes an idiot of herself and drew a very dangerous kind of attention to herself.

She had been slowly making her way through the forest behind the hospital, keeping a close attention to her dangerous pursuers, and failed to notice another very disturbing presence in the middle of the clearing she had just walked through. Of course, by the time she noticed she could not just turn and walk away. She was now trapped between one Uchiha, and the other who happened to have evil followers… For the second time that night, she mentally slapped herself in the forehead.

With the moonlight behind him, Sasuke only looked like a shadowy outline of a person, but she could clearly see his sharingan eyes pierce through the darkness to look at her. she didn't hide her frown of annoyance.

"Sakura…how have you been?" he asked it almost casually, and it annoyed the hell out of her. She snorted in response and his eyes narrowed at her.

"I'd be a hell lot better if you weren't here. So what do you want Sasuke? If you don't mind getting to the point as to why you're here? I'd greatly enjoy you not being in my sight…and there's no point in trying to use your sharingan technique on me…I know you are attempting to try and use it on me, but it's not going to work on me." Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise but he stopped trying to control her with his sharingan eyes.

Little did anyone, other than Neji and Kakashi -sensei, know that after I had left the village to train on my own four years ago, I had developed my own eye technique. It was much like the Sharingan eye, and the Byakugan eye combined…but better. Kakashi and Neji had been the ones who had helped me develop the technique, but I still had yet to perfect it. As soon as I had seen his eyes start to swirl, in an attempt to use his technique on me, I had quickly armed my himitsugan eye. My eyes were now a brilliant gold color with cat slits. One of the techniques I had gotten help from Kakashi to develop, had been immunity to the sharingan eye.

"Yes, I see that… how is it you are able to do that Sakura, and why are your eyes gold? How is it that you managed to block my sharingan eyes? It is simply not possible of someone with your kind of strength. You have no talent and you never had any real powers. I hardly doubt you could have changed much in the last four years that you've been avoiding me. You are only nineteen, you are too young to possess any great powers." The way he said all of this just continued to really piss Sakura off.

"Sasuke you are an egotistical piece of crap, get lost." She said it with such venomous annoyance, that her fists were shaking in silent fury.

"If you honestly think so lowly of me, why would you even bother to take time out of your precious beauty primping time to come annoy me?! If you assumed me to be such a lowlife then get your pathetic royal ass out of my way" Sakura growled so menacing that Sasuke was taken aback slightly. This was definitely not the same Sakura he remembered.

"You will answer my question, Sakura!" he hissed out at her. No one ever disobeyed him.

"I don't have to answer you, you have no control over me whatsoever, Sasuke. I've realized a long time ago that my crush on you was one of the biggest mistakes in my life, and the only good thing that came out of it, was for me to finally understand that I can be a stronger kunoichi on my own. You were what was dragging me down, and I have no intentions on letting that happen ever again!" as she hissed at him her already slitted eyes narrowed at him.

"Unless you would like me to kill you…," she continued, "…then I suggest you stop bothering me!" she burst out.

Sasuke only frowned and then in a flash he appeared with his long sword drawn, and held up to her throat. "Tell me what your powers are!" he hissed.

"That was a very bad idea Sasuke…" Just then the moonlight shone over her golden eyes and flashed white gold, and in a bright flicker of moonlight she disappeared and reappeared right where he had been standing moments before.

Startled Sasuke spun around and then looked at her in surprise.

"How did you do that!? You didn't even use any chakra! That's not possible!" he hollered.

"You really are a pompous ass to think that I would tell you!" Her eyes seemed to spark with golden molten fury.

Her eyes flashed a bright gold, and just as if she had punched her fist into the ground with a chakra fueled punch, the ground fissured and rushed towards Sasuke so fast that he didn't have time to react. One moment h was standing there and the next he was crashing through the trees like a limp rag doll. He stopped near the forest line in sight of the hospital. He was definitely going to have both his arms broken, a leg, and a concussion from that hit.

It was then that she decided to make it known that she knew who was watching her intently. This wasn't good though. Her himitsugan technique used up a lot of physical energy, and she always collapsed immediately after releasing the technique. She would normally be out cold for at least three days, and as it was she felt that she would be out for at least a week. But until she knew it was safe she couldn't release it.

She looked up into the trees away from Sasuke's crash line.

"I know you guys are there, you can come out of the tree's now…" she tried not to show how tired she really was, and if she didn't look it, then her exhausted voice would have given it away. But the Akatsuki came out at her request.

"Can I help you?" she asked semi-enthusiastically.

"What is your eye technique called?" Itachi got straight to the point.

"I can't tell you…it's a secret." She smiled to herself at her little joke (a/n for those of you who don't know Himitsu means secret!)

"Why don't you release the technique?" he asked bluntly again.

"Why are you so curious? You guys were following me before you even knew about it." She stared stoically back at him.

"I am simply curious as to why you are still on your guard, even though my little brother has been taken care of." He stared levelly back at her.

"I don't know…maybe it has something to do with the fact that the infamous Akatsuki is following me!" she sighed exasperated. This was taking too long. She was wearing out quickly, but she didn't once lose her guard.

Tobi bounced up and danced around, "We would like to know if you will join us!"

"W-what!?" his suddenly cheerful, but serious outburst had shocked her.

"Sakura…" Itachi slowly said her name. She looked back at him and then realized too late that she had let her guard down. He was using his mangekyou sharingan on her, and she was too late to stop it. She struggled to fight it for a minute, and then he finally overcame her. her eyes slammed shut and she started to fall backwards.

None of the Akatsuki where close enough to catch her, but one of them could. Itachi ordered him to do so.

"Kakuzu." He said monotonously.

Kakuzu only nodded and then used his creepy technique to speedily extend his arms, and caught Sakura just before she hit the ground. He slowly retracted his arms, all the while holding Sakura in them.

When he had returned to normal everyone looked at Itachi.

"So what shall we do with her now?" Sasori, the ever so impatient one, asked.

"We take her back to our hideout with us. I used my mangekyou sharingan on her. She will not give us trouble, until I release her from it." Itachi said as he looked at the unconscious girl.

"Itachi, how come your sharingan eye worked on her when Sasuke's did not?" Deidra asked him curiously.

"Simple. Her eye technique uses quite a lot of her physical energy. I was also not able to influence her with it until her guard was down, and thanks to Tobi, she did became shocked and let her guard down.

"Yay! Tobi's a good boy!" Tobi bounced up and down as all the ninja gave him an odd look.

"So it would seem that we still have to train her…" Zetsu said to no on in particular.

"Just not in the way we expected to anyways…you where right about this one Itachi…she is strong." Everyone all looked down at the sleeping girl.

"What the hell just happened! She could have killed us too!!!!" They all looked over at the scared crap-less Hidan, who had come back to reality in time to see what Sakura did to Sasuke without ever lifting a finger. Zetsu got a wicked glint in his eyes.

"Since she is going to be staying with us, Hidan, I think it would be wise to not swear around her since it upsets her so much…you would hate for her to be angry with you for something so insignificant.

Hidan paled as what Zetsu was saying sunk in. He was going to have to stop swearing around her if he didn't want to die…

Everyone started on their way to their hideout, carrying the unconscious girl with them.

She was definitely going to be royally pissed when she woke up…

And it was going to be along night when she did…

Yay! Done chapter two! And three is half way done! I have all these funny idea's in my head but they couldn't really all work for this chapter! Sorry! Anyways for those of you who are a romantic at heart (like me) we have a "moment" between Sakura and …I can't tell you who else! You might be surprised…and you might not be…I don't know. Anyways I hope that you liked it! And thank you to my reviewers! Keep reviewing and tell me what you think! I really appreciate your support!
