Naruto ran faster and faster, his legs beginning to hurt. The trees were passing by so fast; He wondered how he was staying on the ground. He should be flying at this pace! He suddenly skidded to a stop in, the dust billowing out from around him. He was breathing hard as he closed his eyes and tried to think things through. Itachi and Kisame had Sakura. They took her…They took her!
He clutched to his head and groaned. His eyes were a deep red with anger and his fangs and cheek markings were thick and prominent. He had to get her back. No matter what, he had to get Sakura back! She was the only one that cared, and he couldn't live without it! But how was he going to get her back. Itachi and Kisame were stronger than he was; stronger than a lot of people were. So he had to find someone that was strong...Very strong. And someone that would risk their lives for her. Only one name popped into his head.
"Hell no…" He whispered to himself. He was not going to him for this. He was the one that hurt Sakura the most. …But who else…? Naruto sighed. This is the only way… He told himself, and headed toward Orochimaru…and the one he hated most.
"NO! Get away! Stop! Back away! I'm warning you!!!" Sakura yelled, forcing her self closer and closer to the cave wall, a rock stabbing into her shoulder blade. She frantically reached behind her, trying to grab some of her ninja gear, but it was gone. She looked behind her and saw all her tools were gone. She glared back at the man standing in front of her, a hint of fear in her eyes.
The man in front of her sighed and shook his head before pulling something from his pocket. He opened the little package and a grinding sound was followed by a spark of fire. He threw it down on top of a pile of twigs and small branches, making it puff up into a heap of flames, lighting up the entire cave. And the mans face.
Itachi stared down at her, his red eyes scanning her over. His hair was undone from its normal pony tail, and without his cloak, his chest and perfect figure was outlined with the fish net clothing. It fit snuggly over his features and made Sakura shiver, though the fire was warming her skin ever so slowly. As Sakura awed at his perfect body, her eyes stopped at her captures arm. It was bandaged, with blood starting to flow from it and down his arm. He was injured and that made her hopeful. Naruto must have done this, and it made her a feel a little bit better about the situation.
Itachi sighed and turned around. "Sorry. If I had known the fire was gonna go out, I would have stayed." He told her gently and walked over to a pile of supplies. He sat down next to the wall and pulled some medical supplies out and sat them next to him. He started undoing the bandages on his arm, showing the flesh and blood of the open wound. Sakura flinched as Itachi gritted his teeth. It must have been painful.
Sakura watched with cautious eyes as Itachi did his work. She followed each hand movement and the red eyes he was so famous for. He looked like he was in such pain. Sakura narrowed her eyes when Itachi looked back up from his newly bandaged arm and motioned his hand for her to come to him.
"Come on…" He said, waving his arms to his side. Sakura made her hands into fists. "I'm not going to hurt you. Please, I need to clean your wounds."
Sakura's eyes widened. What…? A sharp pain ran through her body, and she grabbed at her side. She removed her hand to the light and saw that there was blood on it. A lot of blood. Sakura just noticed that she wasn't the only one injured. She had bandages all over her body. Her leg had gauze from her ankle to her knee, and her arm had one about 3 inches long from her wrist, up. She raised her clean hand and touched her face. There was a padded bandage on her cheek. Her gaze flowed back to Itachi, fear and uncertainty in her eyes.
He sighed and got up from his seat to take his supplies to her. "You were pretty banged up when we got you back. I had to bandage you up before you bled to death." He sat down in front of her on his knees.
Sakura was frozen as Itachi fumbled with his supplies, looking for the right thing he needed. "W-we…" She choked out. Itachi raised his head and narrowed his red eyes. "Kisame…" She whispered, closing her eyes and shuddering.
Itachi placed his hand on her shoulder, making Sakura snap her eyes open. "I wont let Kisame hurt you…I promise you that." He told her. Sakura narrowed her eyes into mere slits, fear about to pool from her eyes. Itachi sighed again. "If it will make you feel better, I'll stop using the sharingan." He closed his red eyes and reopened them to his black orbs. Sakura closed her eyes, silent tears flowing down her cheeks. She finally remembered who His voice reminded her of. Sasuke Uchiha.
Itachi sighed again and started removing the bandages from her wounds. Sasuke…Why Sasuke? Her body shook with sobs and Itachi started getting irritated. "Stop crying. That salt is going to get into the cut on your cheek and you're going to be in even more pain than you already are." Sakura didn't hear him. She didn't want to. Sasuke…Why would you leave me…I loved you so much, and you left me…Why won't you save me…?
Itachi poured alcohol on the wound on her leg. Sakura's tears stopped and she screamed out in pain, shoving her head back against the cold cave wall, and clutched to something warm. The pain soon subsided and she could finally open her eyes. Her breathing was irregular and her chest hurt. Her leg was numb.
Itachi laughed. "Ha-ha. You can leg go of me now." His soft voice told her. She looked down and saw that she had been clutching to Itachi's hand, their fingers interfaced together. Sakura pulled her hand away and shoved it behind her back, her cheeks flushed. She looked down at the ground. "Alright…" He whispered and laid his large warm hand on her wounded cheek. She raised her gaze to his eyes and they met for only a moment as he placed a new bandage on her wound, wiping a stray tear away from her cheek.
"Alright…One more to take care of." He placed the alcohol back in the box. He looked back at her, his face stern and cold. "Lay down."
Sakura narrowed her eyes. "What?" She asked, hardly a whisper.
"Lay down. I have to get the wound you gave yourself a few minutes ago." He told her, and applied some pressure to her shoulder. But she didn't move. Itachi sighed again. "Please? I don't want you to bleed to death." She still didn't move. "Sakura, please?"
Her eyes widened slightly and she took in a deep breath through her mouth. That was the first time he had said her name. The very first time he had spoken to her like she was a real person. She blushed deeply, but she turned so Itachi was to her left and she laid back on the cold earth again. He smiled gently to her, but she closed her eyes. She didn't want to see his perfect smile. It hurt too much. To much like Sasuke's…
He leaned down and grabbed the edge of her shirt and raised it up to her ribs so he could see the damage. She gasped and grunted in displeasure. Itachi just grinned again and saw that the blood on her shirt had come from her back. He applied pressure to her shoulder and she rolled on to her side so her back was facing him. He pulled her shirt up further, getting another groan of disapproval.
Sakura let her mind wander as Itachi patched her up. Naruto…Where is he? Is he ok? If he did that to Itachi, he must have gotten away. He's just too strong to be killed! I know it! But if he got away, why isn't he coming for me? Why is he just forgetting about me? Does he not even care? Another shot of pain ran through her body, but she balled her fist and tried to keep from screaming.
"There…" Itachi rolled her back over and helped her sit back up, laying her against the wall. He then stood up and stretched in front of the fire, making every muscle in his back tense, sending shivers up Sakura's spine "…put the Cloak back on already." Sakura raised her head to give him an odd look. He turned to her. "You're shivering." Sakura just then realized how hard she was shaking. Her teeth were chattering.
Itachi sighed. "Here…" He grabbed his cloak from the ground and walked over to Sakura. He got down on one knee and wrapped his cloak around her shoulders, Sakura closing her eyes from his closeness. He pulled back slightly, putting his hand on her uninjured cheek, and Sakura opened her eyes to Itachi's bright and full smile.
Sakura smiled lightly back at him until she heard a loud bang from the opposite direction. They both turned to look at Kisame standing in the cave entrance, his eyes wide and a hysterical smile played on his lips while holding his shark skin sword over his shoulder.
"So, what fun are we gonna have with this one?!"
