CAPTURED

"Stop touching me!" The pinkette growled dangerously.

The Sharingan user smirked at her, "Only if you stop hurting yourself."

PART 4

"Screw them."

The pink bubblegum haired girl stared at her reflection in the mirror. She ran a hand over her smooth, pale face. Her eyes squinted as she studied her own reflection.

Brilliant looking emerald eyes were staring right back at her with a glint of sadness and despair. Frowning as she brushed her fingers under her eyes. She noticed the dark eye bags under her eyes.

Sakura would have to remind herself to get into bed earlier tonight.

"Kami-sama, why me?" She cried out in frustration, throwing her hands up.

Two days. It had been two days since she was captured by the Akatsuki, dragged by them to their base and forced to heal their wounded members.

"Why can't they just kidnap some other medic? Stupid morons." Trembling slightly, she cursed them to rot in hell, cursed Hidan for calling her a female dog, cursed Pein for being a pain in the ass, practically, she just cursed all the Akatsuki members.

"I'll break their spines then throw their carcasses into the sea." Eyes narrowing as she said bitterly. "Let the sharks eat them or something."

Sakura rinsed her hands, feeling the hot and warm liquid sliding over her porcelain skin. She winced slightly remembering that she had just been licked by Deidara.

"I'll cut his tongue off if he does that again."

But somehow, Sakura's heart did not agree with her mind. How bizarre, she thought. Who would have thought the blond Akatsuki was capable of making her blush like crazy? The moment his skin touched hers, she felt something different. Something very abnormal yet it felt good. Was she drawn to Deidara?

It wasn't simply the fact that he was handsome..drop dead gorgeous to be more precise. There was something else, something about him, almost like there was some strange magnetic attraction between them.

"Attraction?" The word ghosted in her mouth.

Sakura tensed. Was it simply just an interest? Or was it something more than that? There was a spark between them. She'd never experience that with any other man before except for her long-time crush, Sasuke.

The way she clumsily toppled over herself, the churning feeling in her stomach and the erratic thumping of her heartbeat, like any moment it would jump out of her ribcage.

She froze. She realized that she doesn't only have this weird sensation about Deidara but the other Akatsuki members as well.

The first time she met Sasori in the base when he was pinning her against the floor. She thought she was going to faint or something. She didn't need anyone to tell her that her face was red enough to be compared to a tomato.

There was also Pein. He had a strong and dangerous chakra within him but still with him around, she felt safe. It was ridiculous and she knew that.

"No, it can't be…"

She couldn't shut out the vision of Deidara that floated before her eyes. His cheeky grin, his innocent blue eyes, his soft long blonde hair, his sexy mouths, oh-

"Bastards!"

She flung her fist connecting with the mirror. There was the sound of glass smashing, dropping on the bathroom floor. Red blood began dripping on the floor, yet she felt no pain, just a numb sensation. The only pain she was feeling was her heart torn between her loyalty and her feelings.

"I'm strong." She whispered, as if those words were her mantra. Sakura glanced back into the broken mirror, now distorted. They were her enemy. She had helped them, healed them, Sakura reminded herself.

"I'm doing this for Naruto and the others." She had taken the risks to save their lives, to secretly help the Akatsuki to prevent them from destroying Konoha.

.

He edged back into the doorway. A glass crashing sound loud enough had his concentration lapsed. Itachi was making his way from the Leader's room to the kitchen.

Suddenly, a loud sound of glass shattering came from the bathroom. There was also a painful hissing sound after that.

For a moment, Itachi's face was clouded with trouble. What happened? He had a weird feeling that it was their medic who was hurt. Or was it she hurt herself?

He stiffened. Something had alerted his sense, the smell of blood. Not his own blood, but someone else's. Obviously, it was Sakura's blood. He frowned.

'Is she trying to kill herself? '

Using his chakra, he quickly dashed forward to the door.

'What a fool.'

Itachi's frown deepened. He was not going to allow the girl to die- at least not until she had finished healing his eyes.

But was that a hint of worried in his eyes?

.

.

.

Sakura hissed, clutching her bleeding fist. Despite the pain, she rolled her eyes and muttered, "Great. Now, I'm in debt with them too." Sakura's skin prickled. "I'll just heal myself. It'll be real quick-"

A rough hand seized her shoulder with a grip like steel. Her face was clouded with alarm, emerald orbs widened in fear.

"What do you think you're doing, kunoichi?" A smooth voice hissed from behind. She spun around to face a stoic Uchiha in a fishnet top and black pants.

Her eyes narrowed at him slightly. Anyone would be scared to death by now if they were to face the prodigy, Itachi Uchiha but not her. "None of your concern, Uchiha." The agitated medic nin growled.

She tried to shake herself free but her captor merely stared at her with a death glare. She shot him one of her own.

"Get your filthy hands off me!" She demanded, keeping her voice low. Her sparkling emerald eyes glared with burning passion at the Sharingan user. Itachi's blank façade amazed her truly, how can someone like him be so heartless?

"It is a part of my concern." He activated his Sharingan, his voice was a deadly mix of hatred and irritation. "I will not tolerate this, Haruno."

Sakura had become very still, her eyes looking down on the floor and not on Itachi's. Sakura Haruno's fury was rising inside her.

'How dare he talk to me like this! How dare he! Itachi Uchiha, you will pay for this-'

But the moment her eyes made contact with his crimson ones, a strange sensation surged through her. His eyes were so empty, so dead- but inside she can see, she can feel his pain, sadness, loneliness. Yes, that was it. Itachi was lonely.

Those eyes, those quiet eyes were pulling her closer to him. There was a need for an affectionate touch and hold. She needed to comfort him. Her heart kept telling her to do so.

"Itachi."

Her slender fingers reached to cup his face.

He was aware of the girl in front of him, she was reaching for him. She was touching him. Her touch was soft and calming, he just wanted to close his eyes and forget about everything. Wishing that time would stop, Itachi slowly closed his eyes.

"Saku-"

Itachi blinked his eyes. His face suddenly became tensed, he realized that this was their medic. This was Sakura Haruno, his little brother's best friend. There was no way he was going to let her stay close to him and get hurt. With a swift movement of his arm, he pushed her hand away from him.

"Haruno." His voice was cold as he spoke.

Her innocent eyes gazed back at him, offering him peace and comfort, love and care, but in less than a second all of them vanished and replaced by hate and anger, also confusion.

"Just leave me alone, Uchiha." She croaked, feeling his grip on her loosen.

"Hn." He said in a monosyllable and briskly left the room in a fast motion. "Heal yourself." A soft murmur passed around the room.

"I don't need you to instruct me." She whispered to the empty room, trying to calm her fast heartbeat that just won't stop.

Naruto was furious and mad. After he read the note that Sasuke gave Sai, he immediately started making his way to the Hokage tower.

"They better have a good reason for this. Come on, Sai."

The artist kept quiet and followed the blonde from behind. Sai was silent the whole time. They both started walking to Tsunade's office. Both wanting answers. Both having questions to ask. Both wanting to save their team mate.

When they had burst through the door into the Hokage-sama's office, the two men in ANBU uniform had already started to question the annoyed Tsunade.

"What should we do-"

"-and the risks we'll take when we look-"

"BE QUIET!"

A tall blonde stepped in and stared at them grudgingly. Behind him was the Root member who had one of his fake smiles on his pale face.

"Naruto." Tsunade greeted. "You're just in time." She said giving him a forced smile.

No greeting. No smiles. Just pure anger. "Where's Sakura-chan?" Naruto shouted at the busty blonde who had one of her hands on her head in a thinking posture. "Why didn't you tell us?" He glared at her and continued. "Sakura-chan, she's-"

"Yes," Tsunade snapped at the blonde, gripping her wooden table hard. "I know, Naruto."

Kakashi stood at the corner of the room, nearby a window. He saw birds chirping and flying in the blue sky, it was peaceful yet to him it wasn't. All he wanted to do now was to save his beloved student. He sighed and turned to look at his students.

"The Akatsuki must have her now," the silver haired man began, sinking in his hands into his pockets. There was a feeling of guilt within him, he blamed himself for not keeping a close eye on Sakura. It was his fault.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto frowned. He was surprised how calm Kakashi was acting despite Sakura's disappearance. The Kyuubi vessel tried very hard to control his emotions from being out of control.

"We have to do something. She's in trouble." Naruto looked at Kakashi, his face was serious. "Those Akatsuki bastards might do something weird to her."

Neji stood in front of the Hokage's desk, his arms crossed in front of his chest. Usually, he would be calm and collected but this time Naruto had noticed the Byakugan user was worried and uncomfortable.

The ANBU hawk grunted and nodded his head, "Naruto's right. Sakura Haruno's too useful to be killed just like that. She has very high chakra control and her strength as well as her medic skills. Surely, the Akatsuki would have considered that thought instead of just killing her."

Sai raised her eyebrow at Neji. Finally, he spoke, "But why would they kidnap Hag then?" Deep inside Sai was nervous and worried about his team mate. Just what had happened to her? Why was she suddenly gone like that and kidnapped by the Akatsuki?

"Akatsuki," Kakashi softly said. "They would use her as bait for the Kyuubi. They know Naruto would go after her."

All eyes landed on Naruto Uzumaki who stood there trembling slightly. When he heard Kakashi said that, there was a pang of pain in his chest. Naruto looked around desperately.

Tsunade's hands intertwined with themselves and were put in front of her on the wooden table. She sighed. She squeezed her eyes shut, feeling her stomach rise into her throat.

"Tsunade-baachan. We must save her!" She heard Naruto yelling desperately, waiting for someone to agree with him. But none of them did so. There was only silence. "Sakura-chan.. she cared so much for us.." He paused to see their response. "How could you all to do this her?"

Sakura was his best friend, his team mate and he treated her like his own sister. She was the cherry blossom of Konoha, she belonged to them. They would protect her. Of course, she had the worst temper but the biggest heart. She cared for him, Sasuke, Sai, Kakashi and everyone. But this is how they repay her kindness?

"Naruto." His teacher reached out for him but Naruto backed away from him. He looked upset. His face was clouded with many emotions- hurt, anger, sadness and betrayal?

"I'll look for her myself then!" Without waiting for an answer, he flung the door open and left.

Slam.

Neji was filled with sympathy for his friend. He knew how disappointed Naruto must be. The ANBU Hawk turned to face Tsunade, "Hokage-sama, what shall be done next?"

The silver haired man waited for her response. He idly tapped his fingers on the window.

Sai forced another one of his fake smiles.

"Kakashi," she spoke urgently, "Gather the entire rookie nine. In my office. Now!" She barked and slammed her hand on the table. Thus, the wooden table broke into pieces all scattered around her.

"Yes, Hokage-sama." In a quick flash, Kakashi vanished into the thin air.

Tsunade stood up from her chair. The sound of her heels was the only thing in the room Sai could hear other than his own deep breathing.

"You two," she nudged Neji and Sai who both tensed immediately when she looked at them with her demanding eyes. "Go look for the Uchiha brat, drag his ass back into my office. I don't care how you do it. Go!" Her gaze was practically burning them into ashes.

"Understood." Both of them sped off to look for the younger Uchiha.

Tsunade felt as though a huge weight was pressing down on her. So much had happened these days. Sakura, her prized apprentice, who had been a lively part of Team 7 and Konoha village was now gone, missing. The worst thing is she was most likely to be in the hands of Akatsuki.

She fought off the images of the pinkette broken, lying on the floor, full of blood and literally begging the Akatsuki not to kill her. It was horrible. Eversince that day Sakura was missing, Tsunade had been having nightmares about her being tortured by them.

"Sakura." She whispered as she walked towards the window. She tried fighting back her tears. "Wait for us. We'll save you. Just hold on, Sakura."

"I'll dig your eyeballs out fishface!"

"Try it if you can, midget."

"Shut up you piece of fish in a tuna can!"

"Wow, that's quite a long nickname, pinky."

"You-you-argh!"

The pinkette shot Kisame a dangerous glare, her cheeks flushing. She was breathing in and out hard. He grinned back at her his protruding sharp teeth showing. What she didn't know was that Kisame enjoyed teasing her, just to see her temper flare up.

"But pinky," he put up his hands in a surrendering manner, again his shameless grin was there on his face. "I was just watching the show!" Sakura swore to herself that she would clean that stupid grin off that blue sharky face one day.

Kisame pointed at the television screen, now showing some chick flick movie. Deidara snorted and rolled his eyes but his attention was still on the movie. Sasori who was sitting beside the blonde bomber just gazed at the screen, idly wondering why Sakura still hasn't punched the living lights out of the perverted shark- man.

"I saw your hand on my thigh!" Kisame flashed an innocent look at her. The exasperated look on Sakura's face almost made him laughed out loud. "You were touching me! You blue pervert." Her cheeks burned, her hands balled into a fist ready to pound him to pieces of sushi.

"I didn't do anything!" He protested and blinked slyly at Sakura. "I'm innocent, pinky!" Kisame grinned sheepishly at her again. Sakura who was sitting on a two-seat sofa with the blue skinned man was trying very hard to fight off her blush.

Hidan growled menacingly while the others snorted and hissed at Kisame. Kakuzu just merely raised his head up to look at Sakura then his attention was focused back onto reading the Bingo Book.

Sakura was too tired to put up a fight anymore. "Ceh, fine!" She hissed at him and slumped back onto the sofa beside of the bulky man. Her eyebrows arched at him and he shrugged.

The other Akatsuki members were scandalized. Deidara's mouth-mouths were agape. Sasori's eyes went a bit wide then a few seconds later it went back to normal. Hidan was just stunned as if struck by a lightning. Itachi casted a few glances towards to the two but made no comment. Kakuzu was not disturbed by this and continued flipping the pages of the book.

"Bitch! Why didn't you beat him up?" Hidan leaped up from his sit and demanded answers from the pinkette. It seemed like it wasn't only him who was curious, the other members were paying attention as well. "What's wrong with you today?"

He saw Sakura's hostile gaze as she retorted back, "Why?"

Hidan jaw dropped at her. "Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today, bitch?" He continued when Sakura gave no answer. "Did someone spike your drink or food? Oh, Jashin-sama, save the bitch!"

Itachi leaned back in his chair and placed his hands behind his head. He closed his eyes when he felt his lips curved into a satisfied smirk. "Hn."

The Jashinist whirled around. "Keep your shitty mouth shut, Itachi!" He continued barking at the Sharingan user, "Why're you smiling? What the fuck is wrong with you? No, what the fuck is wrong with all of you bitches?" Clearly, Hidan was just PMSing right now.

Sakura giggled slightly when Hidan turned his back to face her. "There's nothing to be worried about," She flashed him a smile. A very sickening sweet one that made Hidan's heart skipped a beat. All the Akatsuki froze when they saw her smiling, it was so rare. It was a genuine smile.

They said nothing until she finished her sentence, "Mom." Hidan almost gasped. Her smile widened with a glint of amusement in her emerald orbs. "I'm fine. In fact I think you're the one who's got a problem, Hidan." Her eyes were practically luminous with pleasure now. "Monthly period perhaps?" She grinned at the perplexed Hidan.

"No wonder your panties are in such a twist."

The albino man almost fell down from shock. His mouth was opened so wide and his eyes were so wide, they could almost fall out from his eye sockets. "Y-you!"

Silence.

Suddenly, Kisame roared in laughter and he nearly fell off the sofa. Deidara clutched his stomach in pain as he laughed with Kisame. Even the others gave a few chuckles.

"Oh God, that would be the joke of the year."

"Oh, Hidan!"

Pearls of bubbly laughter filled the room. It was so lightening and soothing, filling the whole living room with a happy aura.

All the eyes of the Akatsuki landed on just one person who was capable of doing that- Sakura. Her mouth was twitched up in such a charming smile, her eyes shined with excitement and she looked lively and contented. For the first time in her whole life, she was actually enjoying her time with the Akatsuki around her. Sakura Haruno was happy.

But at that moment, it was when everything began for her. She just had not realized yet.

Each of the Akatsuki members had made their own perception about the pretty pink haired medic. She was definitely too difficult to resist for their own good. They would have given into her willingly without a fight if she insisted. They would not give her away to anyone.

She would be theirs to keep and protect.

Sakura Haruno is an Akatsuki property from now on.
