Get over it: Chapter Three

Sakura's Point of View

"Where is Itachi?" I asked, staring around into the darkness to try and find Itachi.

"He isn't here," Obito told me.

"Why not?" I asked.

The three boys remained quiet, not knowing what to say, because they didn't know why he wasn't here. I mean while stood from my spot and brought my hand up to my head; it throbbed painfully as I stood up too quickly.

"We need to get out of here," I said, taking a step forward and feeling someone grab at my hand and pull it softly downwards.

"Sakura, sit down," Obito ordered, I knelt down beside him.

"Why?" I asked.

"Someone is outside," Obito replied, sitting up next to me

Around me both Izuna and Shisui sat up, touching my ankle and my back. I stayed where I was as the door opened and light invaded the room; I closed my eyes and turned my head away.

"Stand," The figure in the doorway ordered, around me I felt the three Uchihas moving.

"Sakura, stay," Izuna ordered, bringing his knees under his body and almost shielding Sakura from the figure's gaze.

"Get them up," The figure ordered, stepping into the room.

Four men rushed into the room, pulling all of them to their feet and then standing along the front of the room (where the door was) along with the dark figure.

"Where is Itachi?" Sakura asked, the figure's glowing silver eyes set on Sakura and made her skin crawl.

"He is in another room," The figure answered, flicking something beside him and making a strong light turn on above them.

Reaching out I rested my hand on Shisui's shoulder to try and steady myself, from behind me I felt Obito put his hand on my back to stop me from falling. In front of us I heard the figure let out a single laugh then be quiet again.

"Bastard," I whispered, resting my free hand on my temple and closing my eyes.

"Sakura," Izuna, Shisui and Obito screamed, as I slammed back into the wall and then looked up at the figure.

The hood that had covered his hair and kept his face mostly covered was now lying on his back and I could see his orange hair and pieced face. Closing my eyes as he looked into mine he smirked and I felt something stir inside of me.

"Get off her," Shisui ordered, running at the figure and reaching out to grab him.

Knocking Shisui away, he didn't take his eyes from me and stared into my eyes.

"Who are you?" Sakura asked, continuing to feel her chakra moving inside of her.

"Pein, leader of the Akatsuki," The figure answered, pulling my eyes away from the figure and towards the four men stood in a line on the opposite wall.

"Akatsuki?" Sakura asked, looking directly at Shisui.

To everyone else it was a statement, but to Shisui it was a question.

"All the information the village has on the Akatsuki is theories. Ten members, rings used for something unknown, travel in pairs, incredibly strong and not much else," Shisui answered.

"So nothing helpful," Sakura replied.

"Some members are said to be Kisame Hoshigaki, Sasori, Hidan and Deidara," Shisui replied.

"So Jashin, isn't she a bitch," Sakura said, smirking.
