CAPTURED

Glaring coldly at the blonde below her, the pinkette muttered, "What're you looking at?"

Deidara's eyebrow rose slightly. "Nothing but you, un."

PART 3

Droplets of rain water began pouring down from the dark cloudy sky. It was raining at Konoha, again. The atmosphere there was gloomy and dark as if something horrible had happened to the leaf village.

"One should always persevere in spite of difficulties. You never know until you try. Just don't give up yet, Sakura." Her master gazed down gently at her with a genuine smile.

Tsunade-shissou was always loving, caring and generous towards her apprentice. During her experience under the Slug Princess, Sakura has transfigured herself from a mere genin to a powerful and skilled ANBU.

The Godaime Hokage was indeed very proud of her apprentice's achievements. She treated Sakura like her own daughter but did not display her affection publicly towards the pinkette.

And now, Tsunade was losing her faith and hope for her daughter's survival. There's no way the delicate pinkette could have face off with the Akatsuki without getting awfully wounded or worse, slaughtered.

'Kami from the above, please protect her.'

For once in her life, Tsunade was praying for the well-being of someone she cared deeply for. Until now, she was still thinking how to inform the news to the Kyuubi vessel and his friends about Sakura Haruno's disappearance. Besides, she was also thinking about how to handle the arrogant Uchiha boy and his plans.

Zetsu was about to embark on his mission to spy on a certain Fire Lord. Usually, the bi-polar plant man would go for missions alone, following orders from the Leader himself. In the Akatsuki, Zetsu plays a main role for them, he was a spy. He would secretly collect and report information about someone or something for the use of Akatsuki.

Despite his appearance, the plant man was quite skillful and cunning in his own ways, he had a tremendous chakra installed and kept inside of him. Everyone in the Akatsuki knew Zetsu had an obsession with plants, even though he himself looks like one. He had built an orchard for himself inside of the Akatsuki hideout but only he was allowed to enter and no one else was permitted to do so.

He was sinking halfway into the base, when he heard a very familiar voice behind him. "Plant man." He turned around and found a very fascinating pinkette standing there gazing at him intently. He thought it was rude to call him names, he admitted to himself that he was only part plant. She had spoken in a very disturbed fashion, as if trying to cover her fatigue but failed as Zetsu perceived it completely.

He eyed her deliciously. "Food." "Yes?" The plant man could barely control his urge on feed on something fleshy. It was truly thrilling. This female had a very womanly smell that attracted him more to her.

"Take me to my room, plant man." It must be a fetish of hers, to be so unruly and demanding towards people. He blinked at her silently. He debated with his black side whether to neglect her demand or not so. Zetsu said flatly, "You look tasty, Haruno." "Follow me."She almost choked on her own saliva but remained her cool composure.

He engulfed his body slowly beneath the floor until his head remained above staring at her in query. Sakura stared at him dumbly. "Excuse me? How do you expect me to follow you?" Her index finger pointed at him then to the ground. The pinkette huffed slightly and folded her arms showing that she was not going to negotiate with him anymore.

"I say we just eat her." "Forgive me, Haruno." His body floated back above the floor. Sakura let a slow breathe escape from her mouth as Zetsu stepped to her direction and towards her. He stopped just a step away from her. Sakura noticed he was very tall, she can only see his chest and if she wanted to see his face, she had to tip toe a bit. The pinkette raised her head and her emerald eyes showed perplexity. "What are you-"

Suddenly, he grabbed her around the waist harshly making her gasped in fright. Her eyes widened. She thought that Zetsu was going to land a punch on her since she was being very impolite to him.

"I forgot pink girls had a bad sense of direction." Sakura snarled at him and then muffled a scream when she felt something pulling them both underneath the ground. She tried to push him off her but her effort was in vain. After that, all she saw was darkness enveloping around both of them but she could still feel his grip on her waist.

A few seconds later, she was inside a vacant room. She spun around to see Zetsu nowhere to be found inside the room. "If looks were deceiving, I might have actually thought he was joking." She said to herself in the empty room and laughed silently.

"Maybe, we won't eat her after all." "Indeed." The figure slowly inched itself into the shadows and sank into the depth of darkness.

Her room was nothing special, quite ordinary like what she had expected. Despite the lack of cheeriness, the room space itself was laugh enough to occupy more than just a bed and closet. 'Ceh, what will they place in here? An elephant?'

She sighed loudly as she made her way to the king sized bed. The bed was printed black with red clouds, even the pillows and cushions have the same design. The black and red matched and blended nicely with the grey painted walls.

'At least some of the Akatsukis are creative and artistic not like the ill-psychopaths they are.' 'Yeah, right.'

She let her eyes wander around the room. The red clouds had reminded her about the red headed puppeteer. She was quite sure he was dead. If it wasn't for his grandmother, it would have been her being stabbed by a poisonous sword and dying at the Akatsuki base.

Still, it was hard to believe that Sasori would still be alive after that. Sakura made a mental note to herself to ask him for a logical explanation one day. He would have to do a lot of explaining to her.

The black shades made her remember about her best friend, Sasuke Uchiha. She curiously asked herself many questions. How he is right now? Will he be hanging out with Naruto at the ramen stall again? Or training under the cherry blossom trees alone again? Are her friends doing well at home?

A smile appeared on her face. The memory of her team mates and friends never faded away from her mind. It'll always be stuck there like a tattoo that'll last forever until she exhales her last breathe.

She didn't even notice that tears began to roll down from her eyes down her cheeks. If someone had seen her crying, they would have thought that it was heartbreakingly beautiful. Her pink hair framed her face as her emerald eyes were glistened with tears. Her slender body trembled as she cried.

Sakura Haruno had always thought she is a strong willed and determined kunoichi. How will her shissou think of her if she behaved like this? She was obediently bowing her head in shame of helping the Akatsuki. She would not give in easily to any temptations no matter what happens. But now, she was trapped between two large boulders. Her village and friends' lives are put into the bargain. How is she going to escape from this horrible fate of hers?

The pinkette was slowly breaking down into pieces. All she could do for now is hope for the best. If she had to kill the Akatsuki members one by one, either by poisoning or seducing them, she would do so in order to protect the ones important to her.

Sakura Haruno had made up her mind that night.

He walked silently across the hallway, towards the Leader's office. His facial expression was hard to read as usual, no one would know what is on his mind but for now he had only one goal in his mind.

The raven haired man knocked softly on the wooden door of the Akatsuki Leader's office. The Uchiha was always a polite and civilized person wherever he goes, it seems like his mother's influenced had rubbed off him. Indeed, he was going to replace his father's position in the Uchiha clan before he had left Konoha and joined the Akatsuki. It was a must for an Uchiha to be well-mannered.

"Come in, Itachi." A smooth voice came from the room.

Itachi slowly entered the room and greeted the pierced man with a small bow at him. When he went into the dark room, he saw a pierced man sitting at his table with stacks of paperwork. Who would have thought even the Akatsuki Leader had to do paperwork? Itachi had the urge to smirk at Pein for bringing this upon himself but decided not to do so.

He spoke in a serious tone, staring emotionlessly at the orange haired man. "Leader-sama." His crimson orbs made contact with Pein's blue ringed ones.

Pein questioned bluntly at the stoic Uchiha, "What the issue, Itachi?" His deep voice echoed inside the dark room. The Rinnengan user seemed to have realized that something was bothering the Uchiha, he could not help but smirk slightly as he leaned back on his chair.

"What're your plans for the girl?" Itachi stated his question without any hesitation shown on his face. His crimson eyes looked up blankly with a solemn stare at the Akatsuki Leader.

Pein muttered darkly, "You have a question about the medic?" His ringed eyes narrowed slightly at the Uchiha. However, his composure was still calm and still.

The raven haired man did not showed much response but a monotone reply, "Is she willing to heal us?" He would not deny it any further, Itachi's eyesight was getting worse and worse now. Day by day, his vision seemed to be failing him. He felt intimidated if one day he would lose his eyesight and become blind during a fight. He did not like the risk he was taking but he didn't mind much. Being the hard headed Uchiha he was, Itachi would make use of the pink haired medic to heal his eyes.

The fiery orange haired man began to answer, "I have just merely offered her the safety of Konoha and the Kyuubi boy." His voice was flat and emotionless. "If the medic refuses to comply and work together with us," His ringed eyes glared ahead of him. "We will have to destroy her beloved village and take the Kyuubi vessel with us."

Itachi had pretty much agreed with Pein's plan. As long as Sakura would heal him, he wouldn't care for anything else. His request was just a very simple one, he wanted the medic to heal his eyes. He just gave the pierced man a slight nod and swiftly left the room. A soft click was heard when he shut the door.

Pein was alone in his office now. He knew that he would not keep his bargain with the pink haired medic for long, as it was the Akatsuki's goal to get all the 9 Jinchuurukis in order to achieve a peaceful world. He almost felt sorry for the pinkette for not keeping his promise with her. Just almost.

It was daybreak already. The sun shone brightly above the skies. Birds were chirping, making harmony sounds. It was really soothing.

But right now, Sakura was healing the Akatsuki member in his room. She had to hold back herself from punching him under the ground, burying him deep inside. She smirked inwardly.

He had a habit of licking. Not with his own tongue though. Deidara had very little control of his tongues on his two hands, those little monsters are so hard to suppress.

"-me." The pinkette had just finished her sentence and now she was glaring at the blonde. Actually, one of his hands had just licked her accidentally when she was carrying a body inspection on him.

He spluttered incoherently. "W-what, un?" Despite the hard look Sakura was giving him, Deidara had shrugged it off and let her continue healing his arm. He tried to remain still on his bed while the pinkette who was sitting on a chair pulled next to his bed, remorsely healed his broken bones.

Sakura slightly winced when she inspected the bomber's arm. It was beyond repair. His bones were broken into tiny pieces, blood veins had almost torn off making his blood flow unsteady and his chakra points were closed off.

To her astonishment, his arm was still there. Luckily, Sakura was a skilled medic, almost every day at the hospital. She had to operate on her patients. It was considered a part of her training by her shissou. It was very tiring for her. Shizune would take over her job sometimes when Sakura was low on chakra. Her thoughts about her shissou and Shizune made her heart clenched.

Deidara's eyes roamed around the room- ceiling, fan, floor, window, door. He was bored again. But everywhere he looked, his gaze will stop drop back onto the same person in front of him. The pink haired medic.

Her chakra was really warm and relaxing. When her chakra slowly flowed into his body, it made him felt comfortable as if it was soothing him. In fact, it made him sleepy but there's no way he would close his eyes now and drift off right now.

He'd rather not face the pinkette's wrath on him. It was only yesterday that she tried to wrestle the big, bulky Kisame but all her efforts were once again furtile. His lips twisted up to form a smile.

He had observed her since yesterday. When the stitched man came in carrying her, all eyes were on the pinkette immediately and he knew none of them tore their gaze away from her. He chuckled inwardly when he thought that all of them had a little interest on this aggressive girl, even he himself does. Heck, even Sasori-danna had a little glint of playful amusement in his eyes when he pinned her onto the wall yesterday.

"What're you smiling at?" Sakura said grudgingly, her hands still pressed on his arm while her eyes blinked at confusion or irritation? She gripped on his arm suddenly making him jerk in pain and agony from the nerve bundles.

"Ouch! Watch it, un!" He growled at her like a predator then hissed, "Crazy woman."

"Ceh, you asked for it," she stated without any signs of regret. Deidara glared at her but he did nothing about it. He grinned to himself when he thought of a perfect plan for revenge. Oh, how sweet his revenge will be. He can't wait for it. The pinkette will surely be shocked.

"It should be fixed now. Try to move your arm a bit." Her medic instincts had taken over her once again. As long as it's a patient she's dealing with, she would be nice to him.

He stubbornly stuck his tongue out at her which made a vein popped on her forehead. His innocent blue eyes glance at her, they reminded her so much of Naruto. The comparison of their blue eyes, blonde hair and attitude were almost the same. Her heart clenched again in pain. She missed him.

"Check your arm," Sakura said in a pester tone. "Deidara." She hissed out like a snake. If he does not follow her instructions, she would bite him to death or more like thump him to death. The Akatsuki Leader didn't say anything about ways of how to handle her patient. She smiled sadistically with her Inner.

"Please." She said forcefully at him but his response was a silent blink. She could feel her eye twitching painfully at the stupid blonde. She wanted to crack her knuckles, she had been wondering if she had the permission to pound him to near death. But she was a bit worried that maybe she had done something wrong to the blonde. "Dei-ahhhh!"

Something had licked her thigh, it was wet and sticky. Sakura suspected it was saliva. She jumped away from him with a look of dismay on her face. Her emerald orbs were wide with embarrassment. Even her cheeks were tinted slightly pink.

The clay artist watched as the pinkette tripped herself and fell down, landing on her butt. "Ouch!" Chuckling to himself, Deidara's thoughts of her was pure amusement and irony. His action had infuriated the medic and now she was going to display the boy her inhuman strength.

Deidara raised his hands and three tongues struck out at her.

"You perverted brat!" Her irritation spiked up. She cracked her knuckles loudly enough for Deidara to hear as she marched forward at him. If looks were threatening, Deidara would be dead already and sent to heaven or hell. Sakura growled. She had decided to make her little patient take a long, hard nap.

Before Deidara could even blink, he felt something landed on his face really solid and firm then all he saw was stars around him. Then, he dropped limply onto his bed.

"Jerk." She walked out from his room. Her boots making loud stepping sounds as she huffed with every step she took. "Now, where's the washroom?" She needed to wash the germs off right now. If not, she might get an idiot syndrome disease from the most unlikely blonde person.

She had walked across the hallway ignoring Kakuzu's hilarious stare behind her. Apparently, he had heard and seen everything that happened inside of Deidara's room. He was going to give the blonde a little punishment for harassing the pinkette but decided against it since Sakura herself had educated him nicely.

"She's a bit too strong, isn't she?" he chuckled to himself in the empty hallway.

The pale boy raised his hand which was holding a small note to Naruto. "Here, dickless."

"Mine is bigger than yours, you dick!" He shouted at his team mate. "What's that, Sai?" The noisy blonde asked. "Who's this from?" He grabbed the note off his hold and jumped in joy. "Must be from my secret admire!" He grinned and started laughing at his own joke.

Sai pretended to laugh along with Naruto but failed miserably. The blonde immediately stopped laughing and raised his eyebrow at the artist. "Was that even a laugh? You sound like a dying goat, baka."

He frowned at Naruto. "Maybe I should find some reference from the library about this." Sai made a thinking face. "Something about laughing." He nodded to himself.

Naruto put his hand on the artist's shoulder in a friendly manner. "Sai, errr, how do I put this to you," his voice drifted off as he scratched his head and looked away from him. Sai stared confusingly at his team mate. "Naruto?"

"I think if you learn to laugh by reading a book, then you must be a total loser." Naruto said straightforwardly to the boy who had his fake smile on his face.

Sai was always desperate to learn new things especially about emotions, he had no idea on how to convey and show these emotions. It was like he was an empty shell inside with no filling.

But then, he was lucky he had his friends and team mates to help him through this. Usually, Sakura would be hanging out with him. They would go out for a walk at the park or sit down at the bench and eat ice-cream exactly like what team mates do. The hag would spend her time with him teaching him better ways to express himself.

"Sai, sometimes I think it's better if you learn these emotions naturally. Emotion is a really strong thing, you can't just learn it from a book. You have to feel it."

His brows knitted together as Naruto stared at him. He spoke his mind out, "Strange." He frowned slightly. "Where's the hag? I didn't see her for a whole day."

Naruto blinked at his friend then grinned enthusiastically, slapping his back. "Eh, Sai, didn't you know that the teme and Sakura-chan are together?" He kept slapping the artist's back, making him almost fall down on the ground. Then, he stopped to read the small note.

"Ehh, this is from the teme!" The blonde exclaimed. He chuckled in a naruto-like way, "He must be taking Sakura-chan away for a month for their date, dattebayo!" He started reading the words inside of the small note. Sai noticed his blue eyes widened alarm as he read the note that says:

'Sakura is in trouble, Naruto. We have to do something before it's too late.'
