A/N: Hey guys! It's been a while, I know. I apologize for the long wait for another chapter! Lots of stuff has been happening, and time escaped me as I was pondering on what to do next with this story. But now I'm definitely turning it more in the direction of ItachiXSakura, of course with deliciousness of other Akatsuki members! But nonetheless here is an update for you all! I hope you enjoy the chapter, and depending on how many people are still interested in this story, I will update very quickly! So drop a review if you like it and want me to continue!

Sakura had no idea why Itachi was apologizing. He had taken her virginity, and in doing so practically raped her. But could it be considered rape? She had asked him to be the one to have sex with her, but at the same time he was her only other option. There was no way she could live with herself knowing she had lost her virginity to someone like Kisame or Hidan. They were such disgusting horrible men, she thought. They all were. Every single person in the Akatsuki.

Sakura's thoughts were interrupted once Itachi held his hand out to her. She glanced up at him. His face looked so troubled. He didn't seem like the others at all. The other men had just up and left her there after they were done with her. They would have never even offered her a piece of clothing, or treated her with any consideration of being a fellow human being.

Sakura cautiously reached her hand up to Itachi's as if he were going to harm her. After all, she couldn't be too sure if he were actually a decent person. If he was joined with the evil Akatsuki then he definitely couldn't be trusted and must have done something to earn his way into the group.

Sakura flinched once her hand touched the ninja's in front of her. It felt so warm and strong. She could hardly believe that this man was the one that was giving himself to her before in front of all those others. The man who made her feel such an unusual and remarkable sensation that she had never witnessed before.

Itachi gently clenched his hand around Sakura's, and steadily pulled her to her feet.

Sakura felt the blood rushing back to her weak legs and instantly realised they hadn't regained their full function just yet. Without even thinking Sakura collapsed forward into the male ninja's arms, which caught her quickly and held her upright.

"Are you alright?" Itachi asked instinctively. But he knew that was a ridiculous question to ask. She had just been violated and humiliated by a large group of men. Of course she wasn't alright. He just took her virginity and innocence. She could never get that back now. He tore it right from her. But how could he have denied her when she had specifically asked for him? Itachi knew that the girl before him wanted him to do the taking, or else she would have had it taken away by Kisame. He knew Kisame definitely wasn't an ideal candidate to take a girl's virginity. If the shark man were the one to take it, Sakura would have been a hell of a lot more traumatised, and no doubt would fall pregnant due to his sick idea of cumming inside every girl he rapes. At the very least, Itachi had the decency to pull out of every girl.

Sakura felt her body trembling as she tried to push herself away from Itachi. She felt way too close to him for comfort and was still being tormented by the thought of how he may cause her harm.

Itachi held her tightly and refused to let her go, knowing that if he did she would most likely fall over and hurt herself.

"It's alright." Itachi attempted to calm her but Sakura wasn't exactly just going to believe him.

"Let go of me!" Sakura forced herself to say, as she tried to pull herself away harder.

"Calm down." Itachi tried again, "I'm not going to hurt you."

Those words pierced through Sakura's mind. He wasn't going to hurt her? What the hell was he talking about? He already hurt her. Emotionally and physically! Sakura didn't know what was going through her head right now. She was so confused. She was angry, upset, and just plain scared. She felt she knew the man was the only respectable one out of the others, but that still didn't change the fact that she was afraid of him.

"Please let me go!" Sakura began to beg. She didn't want to be touched right now, especially by someone who took part in destroying every ounce of dignity she had.

Itachi felt guilty at hearing the young girl plea with him. Gently, he let her go and Sakura somehow managed to regain her footing and stood wobbly on her own.

"I have to get out of here." Sakura said shakily, glancing around to see if she could make some sort of quick escape. She felt deep inside of her that escape was unattainable, but she had to try. She couldn't go with the Akatsuki. They would kill her, and possibly continue to violate her on every opportunity they could get. She wasn't ready to die. She wasn't ready to experience more of the men on top of her. She just had to get out! Why the hell did she even take this stupid mission in the first place? She wanted to prove that she was capable of handling herself and could accomplish any mission put before her, but now all she was able to prove was that she was pathetic and weak both as a ninja and a girl.

Itachi watched Sakura's fearful expression, and gave a small sigh.

"You can't." He said, making the pink haired girl shoot a glance to him.

"Please," Sakura pleaded again, "Let me get away from here. Please let me leave. I will do anything!"

Itachi wished he could allow that to happen. But he couldn't. If he openly allowed her get away right now the other members would more than likely recapture her in an instant, and not only that, Pein would begin to question his loyalty to the Akatsuki. Itachi had other life plans he needed to carry out, and he couldn't jeopardise that for anything.

"I'm sorry. I can't let you go." Itachi said regrettably. "You must come with us, as our leader ordered."

"Please!" Sakura began to feel tears sting her eyes again. "Haven't you all hurt me enough? I will never spy on your organisation again! I won't even report that I saw any of you!"

"I wish it were that simple." Itachi tried his best to stay emotionless, but couldn't help but let a sound of unease creep into his voice.

Before Sakura could even comprehend older ninja's words, Itachi moved swiftly behind her and captured her. She cried out in astonishment at the unexpected actions, and immediately began to resist and try to break free. Her wrists were still tied together from before when Sasori had restrained her, which made fighting against Itachi even more difficult.

"What are you doing to me!?" Sakura gasped.

"I'm sorry I have to do this." Itachi said.

Sakura had no idea what the ninja man was doing or talking about. All she could do was continue to struggle and wish she were free. There was nothing that could save her now.

BLACKOUT

Hours had passed by and turned into a day almost instantly. The Akatsuki had relocated to another hideout. They had many secret hideouts that they could go to if one were discovered. They weren't just going to have one hideout to reside in and leave themselves at a disadvantage if they were ever discovered. It was always best for an organisation, especially a criminal one, to have multiple places they could run and recuperate in if they ever were to be found.

Groggily, Sakura tried her best to open her eyes. She felt so numb and cold. She could hear faint noises in the distance, but she couldn't quite make them out. The only thing she could feel was a slight fuzzy feeling ever so slowly moving through her body. She had no idea what happened. It felt like she had been asleep for a very long time, but she wasn't sure if she was actually waking up, or if she was in some stranded state of her subconscious. Everything was dark. Nothing was making sense. All Sakura could do was try and search her memories for the last thing that happened to her. And then suddenly…Everything hit her like a tone of bricks. Memories of the Akatsuki members flashed through her mind. The humiliation she experienced. The sounds of their laughter and jeers. The amount of male genitalia she witnessed. The feel of all the things they did to her. The pain of her virginity being broken. The sensation of sex for the first time. Itachi…

Sakura could feel a little more movement come back to her body. She now managed to open her eyes, but all she could see was a thick fog clouding her vision. She slowly blinked a few times but nothing seemed to be getting clearer. She forced a squint to see if that would help strengthen her eyes, but it did no good. Where was she now? The last thing she remembered was Itachi offering her his Akatsuki cloak, helping her off the floor, and then being behind her. What did he do to her? Was she still with the Akatsuki, or did she somehow miraculously get away from them? Somehow she doubted it would be that easy. She recalled Itachi saying that she had to go along with them, so it was unlikely he somehow helped her escape. To put her in state like this, Itachi must have knocked her out. That was the only reasonable explanation, Sakura thought. Thinking about that for a moment made Sakura a little nervous. What would she see when her vision returned? How long had she been passed out for? What happened to her in that time? Had she been taken advantage of sexually again while she was unconscious?

Sakura began to feel warmth filtering through her body and her strength seemed to be coming back to life. She was aware now that her wrists were still tied, so that was a clear indication she was still taken captive. Instead of panicking and throwing a fit, Sakura tried to keep herself calm and collected. She had to approach this situation as best as she could. Freaking out was not going to help her now, and it definitely hasn't helped her in the past. The Akatsuki members could do anything they wanted to her. They had proved that. They could kill her in flash if they wanted to. Sakura knew she was no match for them, especially not by herself. If she didn't give them the information about her mission, she was certain she was as good as dead. But what could she do? Give them the information and betray her village and disgrace herself as a ninja? She would never be put on another serious mission again if she ever got out of this alive and back to the Leaf Village. But was dying worth denying the information from the evil organisation? She still wanted to live. There was so much she wanted to do. So many people she would leave behind. Sasuke…

Sakura felt a sick feeling fill her stomach. Sasuke was the only person she wanted. She always imagined herself being with him through anything remotely romantic or sexual. Sakura wasn't exactly a perverted girl. She never pictured herself having intercourse, even with Sasuke. If she thought of anything even close to that she would shrug it from her mind with embarrassment and shyness. The only thing she had envisioned was simple things, like holding Sasuke's hand, or even kissing him. There was absolutely no way in existence that Sakura thought about or wanted to have her innocence and virginity taken away by strangers, and nonetheless evil strangers. What would Sasuke say if he found out about this? Would he ever want to be with her now? He wasn't even interested in her as it was, but now after having all this happen to her it seemed to be impossible. Why would Sasuke want a girl who was used? The feeling of being dirty and completely used began to make a reappearance in Sakura. She hated it. She felt so useless and out of control. How could this have happened to her? She had given her virginity to a stranger. She had no idea who Itachi was. She had never seen him before, but his name did sound familiar. She couldn't quite pinpoint where she had heard it before. She guessed it was just knowledge she was told about of some members of the Akatsuki before her mission. Regardless she didn't have much of a choice. It was either have Kisame inside of her, possibly Hidan, or Itachi. There was no way she could stomach feeling the shark ninja pumping himself inside her, or even Hidan cockily filling her. Itachi seemed like the only semi-decent choice in the situation. He didn't make fun of her; he didn't deliberately try to "tear her up" as she recalled Hidan say. In fact, Itachi seemed like he was intentionally trying to be as gentle as possible to lessen the trauma of the situation. But why would he do that? What made him different from the others? He didn't want to treat her like she was some sort of object, or a piece of meat to be devoured. He treated her with respect somewhat. Despite everything, Sakura had to be thankful for that. It could have been a lot worse. She remembered some of the things that were said during the scene, and it made her stomach churn. If Kisame had his way with her he would have released himself inside of her. What kind of animal was he? Sakura didn't doubt the other men would have done exactly the same thing if they were given the chance. Did they not care that they could burden her with their child? No, of course they didn't care. They saw her as an easy fuck, and would discard of her afterwards and never have anything to do with her again. She was just an object of lust to them. They only cared about fulfilling their own sordid desires, and would do whatever felt better for them. At least Itachi hadn't been so sick. He removed himself at the last minute to rapidly reduce the possibility of getting her knocked up.

Sakura felt more strength come to her now, and her vision was considerably becoming clearer. She could feel all her senses beginning to return to her. Her sense of smell, and even her taste. Taste…

She moved her tongue around in her mouth a suddenly got a chill down her spine. She remembered how awful it was having Orochimaru's semen inside her mouth. She couldn't believe how horrible it tasted. It was so strong and like nothing she had ever experienced before. It was so warm, shooting into her mouth so suddenly that she wasn't prepared for it. She wondered for a moment if every man's essence tasted like that. Surely it couldn't be much different in theory, but Sakura forced herself to believe Orochimaru was just a disgusting excuse for a human being, and that anyone else would taste better than he did.

There were too many memories to reflect back on and assess. Sakura just wanted them all to go away and never come back. She wanted to forget about everything that happened. She hated that at one point during the encounter she had completely broken and felt like she actually wanted all of it to happen. When Itachi had hit a certain spot inside of her, it changed something in her. She suddenly felt like it was okay, and that she wanted to feel all the sensations the men had to offer her. She ended up sucking harder on Orochimaru and Kisame. She liked having Deidara and Hidan play with her breasts. She wanted all the touches that all the men were giving her. And she absolutely loved what Itachi was doing to her. He was able to make her orgasm, and it felt so amazingly wonderful. Sakura didn't know something like that could feel so good, especially from someone she didn't even know. How was that even possible? She didn't want it. She was ravished and violated. How could that have ever felt even slightly good? Her body completely betrayed her, and she didn't understand why or how it was achievable.

Sakura very slowly attempted to lift herself up. She realised she was in a laying position, and from the feel of it, it seemed like she was on a bed. There was definitely some sort of blanket or sheet she was laying on, and it didn't feel hard like she was on the ground. She shook her head in an attempt to get her bearings together, and to help enhance her sight. It seemed to have worked; everything was falling into place and becoming more visible. After a few moments, Sakura's vision came back completely, and eagerly her eyes darted around to identify her surroundings. She didn't recognise anything. She was in some sort of dark wooden room with no windows. A candle was burning dimly in the corner on a table providing such a small amount of light, and Sakura saw now that she was in fact on a bed. There was not much else in the room. There was a chair on the other side of it, a bit of rubble on the floorboards perhaps, and what looked to be a bathroom through a door frame attached to the room.

Sakura glanced down to herself and saw that she was still wearing Itachi's Akatsuki cloak, which was a clear indication she was still a prisoner, along with the rope that bound her wrists together. She tried to make a half-hearted attempt to pull her hands out of the knot, but knew it wouldn't do her much good. Sakura heard a noise come from in front of her, and immediately looked up. She noticed there was a dark wooden door. It was closed, but there sounded like there was something or someone on the other side of it. She didn't really want to find out just yet.

Where the hell was she? How long had she been out for? She didn't remember being taken anywhere at all. Was this a new Akatsuki hideout? It looked very similar to the old one if it was, despite small differences. All Sakura knew was she had to find some way to escape from the organisation. She didn't want to be hurt anymore, and she didn't want to die. She hoped in the back of her mind that everyone back in the Leaf Village knew that she had been gone way too long, and would put together a search party mission to save her. She knew Naruto would do that for her. Would Sasuke? Then again, she didn't really want anyone to see her like this, especially her friends. It would be so shameful and embarrassing.

Sakura heard another noise come from behind the door, making her tense up alertly. It sounded like it was unlocking. Anxiously Sakura froze, and waited to see who was entering the room.

Once the door successfully opened, Sakura couldn't help but gasp in reaction to it.

To her surprise, Itachi appeared in the doorway. He entered the room alone, and gently closed the door behind him.

Sakura felt butterflies fill her stomach. What did he want? What was he going to do to her? So many thoughts were wildly running through Sakura's head.
