Chapter 11 - Itachi Uchiha
Sasuke ran into a dark room. No lighting what so ever. But still he could make out the outline of a few objects. A chair, and a large something he couldn't tell squat of. He squinted around, and then heard the slight splash of liquid. His head flipped to where the chair looking object across the room. He also heard the sound of moving metal, but paid no mind.
A light flicked on and shown in it's light a large chair, in it was a man. He was Itachi.
"Itachi." Sasuke nearly growled.
"Ah brother. Long time no see. Well, I couldn't exactly say that. I saw you the other day when I stole her away. But we didn't have a chance to speak." he tilted the glass he had, then took a sip of it. "How have you been?"
"Living in hell." The sound of chains moving caught his ears again and he turned his head towards the larger thing in the shadows.
"Ah. I almost forgot!" Itachi laughed. He snapped his fingers and a light came on. It illuminated a cage where Satsuki was chained to the floor. She covered her eyes from the sudden light. "I have a gift for you!"
"Satsuki!" Sasuke called. She looked over at him again.
"Sasuke! He's chained me in this cage!" DUH! "I can't help you."
"Idiot. I'm here to help you." he said. Laughing caught their attentions and they turned their heads to look at Itachi.
"Brother!" he said loudly. "Didn't you forget? This is a gift from me to you." he laughed again. Sasuke got a dreading feeling. Gifts from Itachi were evil. He was grabbed around the arms by 2 large men. One was the man that had been guarding the door. Itachi snapped his fingers.
"Itachi. You bastard! What are you thinking?" Sasuke asked as Satsuki's cage was lifted, okay, the walls were raised. The floor of the cage remained, and was then rolled over towards Itachi, who stood up.
"Just a gift...of pain." he smirked evilly. Sasuke's eyes widened. He struggled against the two men, but was held still. "I see you've grown close to this girl." He drew something out of his pocket and showed it to Sasuke. It was a sheathed object.
"Leave her alone! Don't hurt her!" he yelled threateningly.
"Dear brother. You are in no position to tell me what to do." he unsheathed it, revealing it to be a dagger. "This girl is also a member of our family, of those who lived in Konohagakure village. So I will also kill her to re-test my strength." he raised the dagger above his head, poised to kill.
"Satsuki! Move! Break the chains!" Sasuke yelled.
"I've tried! Do you think I was in here for pleasure?" she yelled at Sasuke. Her attention was brought back to Itachi as he brought the dagger down. "Ah!" she lifted her arms up in self defense. The dagger missed her, and hit the chains directly. The chains cracked, but no one noticed.
"Damn you! Move your hands!" he pushed her hands out of the way and thrust the dagger at her again.
"Satsuki!" Sasuke cried. Satsuki went to dodge, forgetting about the chains. She flipped over, the dagger landing where her head had been. The chains snapped, and broke into many many many pieces.
"Huh?" Satsuki stared at her wrists. Then grabbed her ankles and began to work the chains off. "Damn!" They weren't coming off. She searched herself and found a dagger that had been missed when they had taken her weapons. "Thank you lord." She grabbed it and cracked her chains with it.
Itachi growled and threw the dagger at her. She rolled forward and thrust the kunai into his leg. "Damn you!" He yelled. His men gasped, released Sasuke and ran to help Itachi.
"Sir!" they all yelled.
"Back off you idiots!" he grabbed his dagger and began slashing madly, killing more than a few of his men. "Come here you wench!" he yelled, chasing Satsuki off the platform.
"Satsuki! This way!" Sasuke yelled, kunai out, beckoning her forward.
"Sasuke!" She yelled, running as fast as she could. Itachi yelled, threw the dagger, and then fell to the ground holding his injured leg. "Ah..." she stopped running, stopped moving, and fell slowly to the ground.
"No." Sasuke ran over to her, picked her up slightly, and felt his hand get wet. The lights in the room gave enough light for him to see his hand covered in blood. "No. Satsuki! Satsuki, are you alright?" he pulled the dagger out and turned her over. She smiled.
"I'm fine Sasuke. Really. I'm supposed to help you, right? I'm supposed to help you beat Itachi." she coughed, and blood came out. "Look, leave me be. I'll be fine. Go fight." she pushed him away, falling to the floor again. Sasuke reluctantly went over to fight Itachi, but he was gone.
"Damn you, Itachi." he mumbled angrily under his breath. Then he turned to Satsuki, picked her up and put her arm over his shoulder, and helped her out.

"Dang it. We gotta get back in there..." Sakura kept trying to get back up, but Naruto, or pain, kept her down.
"They'll be fine." he kept assuring her.
They were surrounded by the bodies of the men. They were either dead or knocked out, at least the 'real' Naruto hadn't killed them. They heard slow footsteps coming from the open doorway, they hadn't closed it, and looked over. Sasuke came out with Satsuki hanging halfway on him, bleeding badly.
"What happened?" Naruto asked, running over. Satsuki's hair was down and messy, her clothing was ripped only slightly, but she was covered in blood.
"Itachi stabbed her in the back..." Sasuke said softly, laying her down. "We need to get her help."
"Sasuke..." Sakura said, walking over slowly. "Is she even...alive still?" Satsuki did look dead, and Sasuke was suddenly filled with fear.
"Satsuki? Satsuki?" he shook her. Her eyes opened slowly, and she turned to look at them.
"Oh, hey guys. You're the pervert, and you're...the girl with a crush on Sasuke..." she smirked. "And I told myself I was gonna beat your butt next time we met." she said to Naruto.
"Like you could." Naruto scoffed. She sat up.
"Lay down. You shouldn't sit up." Sakura said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Like I told Sasuke. I'll be fine." she coughed softly and looked around. "Wow...you guys showed 'em." she smirked. It slowly began to rain, washing away the blood that Satsuki had spilled. Satsuki paused, then fell to the ground again.
"Satsuki?" Sasuke asked, shaking her. "Satsuki? Satsuki!" he might have been crying now, but the rain was so hard that you couldn't tell the difference. Naruto closed his eyes in frustration and Sakura was visibly crying.

"Hokage sir!" Kakashi ran up to Hokage, panting.
"Yes Kakashi?" he asked in his usual calm voice.
"It's...It's Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, and Satsuki. They're back." he panted. "But Satsuki, she's badly injured. She...she might die!"
"What?" he raced out, ordering for medics immediately. He ran into the entrance room, to see Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, and Satsuki there. They were soaked, both in rain and blood from carrying Satsuki.
"Let me see her." he rushed over and felt her pulse. It was very slow, and she was getting cold. "She needs medical attention, and fast. Where are the medics?" he yelled. Doctors came rushing in and took Satsuki out of the room. Hokage turned his worried gaze on the others. "Sakura, go with them." she did.
"Sir. Will she be alright?" Naruto asked.
"She...should be fine." he said in his normal voice. He turned his gaze to Sasuke, who was sitting on the ground. His head was bowed, eyes hidden from view. Soft sounds would be heard, if it wasn't pouring oceans outside. "Sasuke." he said softly. Sasuke took a moment, but then raised his head to look at Hokage.
"Yes sir." he asked in a voice unlike his own. Hokage's gaze became more caring and sorry than before. Sasuke brought up an arm to hide his face and wiped his 'face' (actually his eyes, but don't tell him that) with his sleeve. He then brought it down and stared at Hokage with the same cold stare he usually did, but it had more sadness than before now.
"Don't worry so much. The doctors will inform me of her condition as soon as they are sure of it. I'm sure she will be fine." he said in a confident voice. Sasuke smiled shortly at him, then frowned again.
"I'll be at home..." he turned and walked out into the wind and rain. Naruto watched him leave, then turned to Hokage.
"Liar."
"What?"
"You have no idea if she'll be okay or not. But you get Sasuke's hopes up." he scoffed.
"No. Sasuke's hopes are not up at all. His hopes are lower than the ocean bottom." Hokage then turned and walked out. Naruto got up, turned, and sat in a chair near the door.
Preview : The room was dark, only a small light near the bed was on. On the bed was a girl with long black hair that was bandaged heavily. She seemed to be asleep. He walked over carefully and sat down in the chair next to the bed silently.
