Kidnapping
Chapter 2
"Where am I?" Sakura felt her head spin as she tried to open her eyes. She was lying on a neatly made bed. The room was large with fancy furniture but no windows. The only source of light was a chandelier that hung in the middle of the ceiling. Very carefully Sakura sat up and stretched her arms. Wondering what time it was, Sakura felt her stomach rumble with hunger.
"I see you're awake." Said a sly voice. Sakura turned around and saw Itachi standing in the doorway. He was holding a tray that had a bowl of ramen, a cup of rice, and a nice cup of hot green tea. This made her stomach grumble even louder. Sakura clutched her stomach in an attempt to muffle the sound. Itachi walked over and sat down next to Sakura.
"Here, eat. You must be hungry." Without hesitation Sakura grabbed the chopsticks and shoved the food down her throat much like Naruto when he eats ramen.
"You're going to puke if you eat like that." Itachi was watching Sakura the entire time. She slowed down but was still done eating within the next 5 minutes. After Sakura was done eating Itachi took the tray and sat it down on his other side.
"Uh, what is going on here." Sakura asked, a feeling of dread pulsing through her veins.
"3 days ago you, Sasuke, and that odd boy with the freaky eyebrows came to my old hideout. The roof collapsed but by that time you and I were long gone. I brought you here and waited for you to wake up." Sakura raised an eyebrow.
"That 'odd boy' happens to be a very good, personal friend of mine." Itachi stared at the wall across from him.
"He really likes you. I can tell." Sakura said nothing to this comment and waited for Itachi to continue.
"I really like you as well." Itachi turned and looked into Sakura's eyes. Sakura looked away, feeling very uncomfortable.
"And I wish for you to stay here with me." At this Sakura laughed out loud.
"What? Are you on drugs or something?" But she wished she hadn't said anything at all. Itachi's entire face was full of hurt-ness and sadness.
"They won't come for you. Yet. And you don't know how to get to Konoha. For all you know we are across the country. What good will come if you get lost?" Itachi muttered, barely audible. Sakura's inner self was mentally beating Sakura up for allowing Itachi to kidnap her.
"Is this going to be like one of those movies where I, the damsel in distress, awaits for the day my night in shining armor comes and frees me?" Itachi smiled slightly. Well, he seemed less sad anyway.
"No. As long as you don't try to escape then I will let you wonder freely." Sakura was shocked.
"Seriously?" Itachi nodded. He stood up, picked up the tray, and headed for the door.
"You may come." He said over his shoulder. Sakura stood up and followed Itachi. She soon found that most of the other rooms had windows.
"He must still be cautious." Sakura decided.
Over the next few days Sakura woke up early and explored the house. Itachi had placed special Genjutsu traps on all the exits but Sakura paid no attention. The house was big and really nice too. Every room held different things. Some were dangerous like the room down the hall from Itachi's bedroom. It was full of poisonous kunais, shurikens, and paper bombs. But others were interesting. Next to the bathroom was a room full of kittens. Sakura loved them and didn't have a clue as to why they were there. The house was spacious and the living room window had an awesome view of the surrounding mountains. Half the house was surrounded by mountains and cliffs and the other side was completely forest. This told her that she probably was a long distance away from the Leaf village. When the Akatsuki members came over they took quite a lot of interest in her. Sakura never met eye contact and the others laughed at her and asked nosy questions.
Itachi didn't say anything to her while the other Akatsuki guys were around, although sometimes she was asked to make tea for them. What really bothered Sakura was that if she asked Itachi if he knew if Lee and Sasuke were safe, he wouldn't answer. At first Sakura thought Itachi was just being a dork, but now she wasn't so sure. Sakura was still worried about Lee and Sasuke and found it sometimes difficult to sleep at night
"Lee and Sasuke are 2 of the strongest men I know. They've got to be o.k." Sakura was constantly telling herself that.
Sakura's new alarm clock read 7:13 when she yawned and crawled out of bed. This would be her 5th night living here. She had another night of worries and dreams. She was starting to get a system. Wake up early, get ready, eat, and wait for Itachi. After she was bathed and dressed (She preferred to do these things when Itachi was asleep) Sakura wandered to the kitchen. For some reason even she didn't understand, Sakura made breakfast for both her and Itachi. This was something she refused to do even though he had asked many times. When possible Sakura avoided Itachi completely. That was her own way of getting back at him. But even though Sasuke made him out as a cruel, horrible beast, Itachi had been very polite to Sakura. He never yelled or got angry. Really he just didn't show any emotion at all. If she wanted to avoid him then he let her do it.
This confused Sakura. She thought he would yell at her or threaten her. Perhaps that led to her making him breakfast. Once all the necessary items had been collected Sakura turned on the stove and got to work. By 8:00 she had the table set and the food ready. Since there were only two chairs Sakura really didn't have a hard time choosing a seat. Sitting down Sakura let out a small sigh. It would have been better if she could have been making breakfast at home, in Konoha. Itachi's footsteps were soon heard.
"I think I'll have toast today…" He mumbled out loud. But man he sure was surprised to find Sakura sitting down at the table, which was covered in big bowls of oatmeal, eggs, and large cups of orange juice.
"Hurry up, your food is going to be colder then ice." Sakura picked up her chopsticks and began eating. Itachi sat down and did the same.
"Well, we sure are in a good mood today." Itachi said, picking up a newspaper and reading it. For no reason, Sakura reached over a pulled the newspaper out of Itachi's hand.
"No reading at the table." Sakura sat the newspaper down. Itachi looked amused.
"Yes, how very rude of me." Sakura couldn't help herself. She smiled and let out a small chuckle. The small chuckle turned into a rib-cracking laugh.
"What? What's so funny?" Itachi asked, trying his hardest not to laugh. But in the end he gave in and joined Sakura's laughter. This went on for an hour.
"O-O.k. That's enough." Itachi panted after a while. Sakura breathed in deeply. The two started cleaning off the table.
"I like your laugh. It fills me with much joy when you laugh." Itachi reached out and touched the ends of Sakura's hair. Whenever Itachi did those kinds of things Sakura just ignored him until he realized what he was doing and stopped.
"Now then. We need to fix your headband." Itachi said. He finished putting the last of the dishes in the dishwasher and looked at Sakura.
"He's being really serious." Sakura thought and she reached up and felt her headband.
"What's wrong with it?" She asked.
"Well, as it would seem, your not living in that fly speck of a village Konoha anymore. You're a rouge ninja now." Itachi pulled out a kunai.
"We need to draw the line through your headband to symbolize that." Itachi slowly walked towards Sakura, kunai raised.
"Only when heck freezes over!" Sakura yelled, running around Itachi. The rest of the morning was spent kinda like a game of tag. Only Sakura was determined not to be it. After awhile Itachi gave up and allowed Sakura to keep her headband and Konoha ninja title.
