A.N. Yaaay the new chappy's here!! lol, sooo don't forget to reveiw and stuff. Oh and remember I'm watching you... ok now really but i would really like some more reveiws so ya please???


Konan sighed, "I'm going ahead ok? I have another mission soon and I need to rest up, see you." she disappeared along with Sasuke. Itachi frowned, he wished he could do that, but his chakra was too low. He could handle any enemies at the moment, but that technique used up a lot of chakra because of the second person. He looked down at Sakura; she was sleeping like an angel, her face leaning into his arm and her arms crossed over her stomach.

Itachi took a deep breath and found a good spot to stop for a few hours so he could rest, he lay Sakura on the ground and lay down next to her; he turned onto his back and stared up at the sky.


Sakura opened her eyes slowly, her head hurt. She could feel the grass beneath her skin as the sun gently warmed her up. The Akatsuki uniform around her felt nice and soft against her skin.

She sat up slowly and looked to her hands as memories began to fill her head of Sasuke. She clenched her fist and slammed it against the ground without using chakra. She let out a deep breath.

"How are you?" asked a distant voice from next to her, Sakura turned to face the voice. Itachi was lying on the ground next to her, his hands weaved together behind his head creating a pillow for him and one knee was in the air as he stared up at the clouds.

"Itachi." She breathed. Itachi raised an eyebrow, "That's not a good reply." He said. Sakura looked to her shaking hands, she then looked across the clearing he'd picked for them to rest at. "What happened?"

"You let your violent personality out again. You really should meditate more." Sakura looked to the ground, "Did I kill anyone?"

"No, but you hurt that blonde haired friend of yours, he didn't mind though so don't look so upset." Sakura didn't look him in the eye. Itachi, noticing her distress, sat up with a sigh, "What's wrong?" he asked tediously. "How can you talk to me?" she asked still looking at her hands.

Itachi gave her questioning look. Sakura felt tears well up in her eyes, "He… he almost… you must hate me." Itachi took her hand and cupped it in his own, "I don't hate you Sakura, I don't blame you at all; I blame my idiot of a brother. We've captured him by the way, so you can do what you want with him."

Sakura stayed silent, she stood up from him and took a few steps away she stared into the trees and let a tear fall down her face. Itachi stepped up behind her, "Sakura…" he started; Sakura flinched when he tried to wrap his arms around her. He paused, "What else did they do to you?" he asked carefully.

Sakura shrugged, "I don't remember most of it, but I remember the pain afterwards." She hugged herself tightly, "I felt so weak." She whispered. Itachi wrapped his arms around her shoulders tightly, "Sakura. You're home now; you're with me." Sakura turned around in his arms and hugged him tightly around the waist, "Itachi-kun?" she asked quietly. "Yes?"

"If I let go will you leave me too?" Itachi's hand moved into the back of her head, he stroked her pink locks, "I won't leave you willingly; I'll never betray you and I'll do everything within my power to be with you." Sakura finally let herself cry as Itachi held her.


Kisame squinted at Sasuke as he fought against the chains in the basement. Sasori dragged a mangled corpse form the room, "It seems Sakura has been in here recently." He said looking to the wounds, "I wish she'd clean up after herself," he added.

Kisame frowned and turned to face Sasori, "That's what the smell was." He said, "Wasn't that her last target, the one that wrecked her bandana." Sasori nodded, "She can clean up the blood when she's rested up, I hate cleaning up after people." Kisame raised an eyebrow.

Sasuke rattled the chains around him, "Hey, are you sure you want to leave her alone with me, I might break free and rape her." Kisame and Sasori turned to face him.

Kisame reached behind his back for his sword and Sasori opened his palm letting lose the invisible chakra strings. Kisame's face was packed with rage and Sasori looked angry, which was quite a lot of emotion to show, for Sasori anyway.

Sasuke paused at their sudden transformation into very, very, angry S-rank criminals. "Is that what you tried to do to her?" Asked Sasori darkly, "You tried to rape her?" Sasuke didn't reply.

Kisame pulled his sword upwards, "I think he did, no wonder Konan-sama got involved. Does that give me permission to shave his skin off?"

"Do you want to deal with Sakura-chan afterwards?" asked Sasori. Kisame thought for a moment, a scared look crossed his face when he remembered the last time he killed one of her prisoners.

She'd beat him up and put make-up on him whilst he was knocked out. She'd also taken pictures of him and posted them all over Akatsuki.

"Sakura-chan can deal with him." He muttered touching his make-up free face. "She's just a weak little slut, she can't hurt me." Said Sasuke confidently. Sasori frowned, "Lets hurt him a little bit." He suggested. Kisame nodded in approval.


Sakura and Itachi made it back to the base; Itachi was carrying the still weak Sakura on his back. She was fast asleep on his back as he opened the doors easily.

Itachi carried Sakura all the way over to her room and went to put her on her bed, when he opened the door he paused, there was no room, it was missing; something had blown through the wall and broken it apart.

Itachi raised an eyebrow, he sighed and moved to his own room, he dropped Sakura on his black silk-sheeted double bed and tucked her under the sheets before leaving the room.

Kisame was about to take a bite out of a fish cake when he felt Itachi's chakra, "Welcome home." He said putting the fish cake back on the plate and looking to his comrade from his place at the dining table, he paused at Itachi's facial expression, "I guess you've seen her room then?" Itachi nodded.

"We got an attack from Deidara, he only exploded her room and left. He's still an idiot even after he leaves." Itachi nodded and moved to the kitchen. Kisame shrugged at his silence then took a bite out of his fish cake.

Sasori walked into the room, blood was dripping from his hand; he quickly hid it when he saw Itachi. "You know." Started Itachi as he poured himself some milk, "If you kill Sasuke, Sakura might not be too happy about it."

Sasori shrugged, "He called her a rude word, besides I didn't kill him, only left a scar." Itachi nodded and replaced the milk in the fridge, "And Konan-sama?"

"Gone out, she left us a message for you." He passed Itachi a piece of paper; Itachi looked down at the white sheet and raised an eyebrow as he sighed in annoyance, the piece of paper read, 'Baka' "She has quite a way with words." observed Sasori walking passed him and towards the bedrooms, "I'm going to put some finishing touches on my puppet." He said.


Sasuke coughed up some more blood, "Those bastards." He muttered looking to the wound in his shoulder, "Temporary poison… this sucks."

"You're wasting time Sasuke." Called a voice from the wall.

Sasuke looked up as Orochimaru formed from the stone in the wall, his smile wicked. "You need to perform the jutsu now, whilst she sleeps in that room."

"I'm weak at the moment Orochimaru, what if it doesn't work?"

"Then she'll die." Sasuke nodded, "ok." He said finally as Orochimaru let him down from the wall.


Kisame took another bite of his fish cake as Sasori entered the room, "Someone's in the room with her." He said, "There's a woman and a man standing over Sakura and there's some sort of sea on the doorway."

Kisame choked on the fish cake and Itachi ran from the room towards his own. He paused in the doorway.

A woman with long white hair was sitting on Itatchi's bed, Sakura's head rested on her lap as the woman stroked her hair gently.

A man with red hair stood behind the woman, his hand resting on her shoulder as she beamed at Sakura, his dark eyes glared at the Akatsuki member.

"Uchiha." Greeted the man with an angry gleam to his eye. Itachi narrowed his eyes, "Haruno." He greeted back cautiously.
