Some of you are going to hate me for this chapter lolololol. I kinda hate myself for doing it but then again I don't! Mt mischievous side came out in this chapter muhahahahah ;)

What am I talking about you ask? Read and find out! You guys are the

Oh and my name isnt Kishimoto which means I don't own Naruto.

ITACHI

"Make her fall in love with you." Madara's words echoed in my mind.

Out of all the propositions he picks one involving Sakura. How was I supposed to make someone who despises me fall in love with me?

Love? I literally cringed at the sound of it.

Ironic that Madra proposed such a thing to me considering the words he first said to me when I joined the Aktskui.

"The love you have for Saskue has single handedly destroyed you. You must let go of your little brother, leave him and his life behind in the leaf village. When a man learns to love, he must bear the risk of hatred, Itachi."

Sitting on the foot of my bed I closed my eyes. I was exhausted. I had only a little under four months before Orochimaru was prepared to take over Saskues body which meant I had less time than that to convince Sakura to join the Akatskui by falling in love with me. Even so, she was extremely stubborn and there was no guarantee she would comply regardless if she loved me or not.

Madara seems to think the solution is so easy. He read me like an open book. Was it that obvious? Did I display my true inner feelings so openly? Or was it the Uchiha bloodline that allowed him to see through me so easily? The curse of the Uchiha clan, we love so easily and so hard it consumes us eventually breeding into hatred. What a cursed life to live.

I had no idea if my plan to make Sakura stay succeeded or not. I was too tired to care.

That kiss meant something.

It's only a tactic to succeed in making her fall for me so she will join the Akatskui.

You apologized.

So?

After everything you've felt you still fight your true feelings? You meant what you said.

I had to be convincing.

You don't deny that you meant it though.

Now you're putting words in my mouth.

Suppressing my inner thoughts, I removed my shirt and slipped under the sheets in my bed. I could still sense Sakura's chakra so I knew she hadn't even attempted to leave her room. I assumed my plan had worked and turned over to sleep. She would come to my room eventually before the night was over.

SAKURA

I remained standing in the same spot still dumbfounded about what just happened.

It was like a Christmas miracle. Itachi Unchiha had apologized! He was sincerely apologizing not only for the rape but for everything, and he had kissed me so genuinely. I didn't know if I should smile or run the other way screaming.

However, an overwhelming sadness came over me as Sasuke entered my mind. I was a traitor and I hated myself for it. I wasn't upset because Itachi had kissed me, I was upset because I knew if it happened again I wouldn't want to stop him. I felt my stomach churn at the thought. I was developing feelings for a traitor, a murderer, my own kidnapper.

You've murdered too.

Yes but it was for the sake of my village!

He had reasons too, just like you, did he not?

Well…I don't know what those reasons are but….yes…

Sasuke left you willingly, he never loved you and he never will.

Don't say that!

You're upset because you know it's true.

I began to quietly cry to myself. I was a traitor to my village, to my friends, and to Sasuke. The worst part about it all is I knew what I was doing and I didn't want to stop myself or my feelings.

There was a knock at the door.

I quickly wiped away my tears as I walked over to answer it.

"Itachi I really don't feel like—" I stopped at the sight of a banged up Deidera.

"Deidera? What do you want?" I snorted.

His electric blue eyes looked directly into mine.

"Sakura-chan I'm sorry, I was wrong and I never meant for things to escalate that far." He apologized.

I crossed my arms and glared at him.

"You think you can just show up at my door and apologize expecting me to forgive you?"

"I was a dick, and an asshole, and a jerk, and you're hair looks really pretty today." He gave a pathetic smile.

I tried to hold it back but a laugh escaped my lips.

"Is it working?" he asked.

I sighed. "Deidera, you really hurt my feelings. I thought I could trust you."

His eyes looked away from mine.

"But yes, it's working…..a little…" I gave him a half smile.

I couldn't stay mad at Deidera long. Even if he did open his big mouth, it was only out of concern for me. He was truly a good friend.

"Will some sake make up for my mishap?" he asked.

"Sake? I don't drink." I raised an eyebrow.

"Well, now is good time to start."

Now that he mentioned it, I could you use a little something to get my mind off of my crazy life. Perhaps a little sake would even shut inner Sakura up for the rest of the night.

"Alright, if you insist." I rolled my eyes.

Walking into the kitchen together we both looked at each other and laughed at the sight of the broken down table.

"I think Itachi should be responsible for replacing the table. If he can afford all those nice dresses he can afford a table." Deidera teased.

"Don't make me punch you again." I warned.

"Now let's see here….ahhh ha! Here we go." He reached back into a cabinet under the sink and pulled out a bottle of Sake.

"I'm the only one who ever washes dishes around here besides Itachi so I stash the goods under here with the dish soap. Kisame and Sasori would never think twice to look down here and Itachi doesn't drink so it's a great hiding place." He smiled.

Twisting the cap off he handed me the bottle.

"You want me to drink this whole thing?!" I asked.

"No, I want you to just take a shot from the bottle. No use in dirtying glasses when it's just us two." He rolled his eyes.

I probably sounded like a moron but I'd never drank a day in my life so how was I supposed to know these things.

I closed my eyes and took a swig from the bottle, twisting my face in disgust as I swallowed.

"That taste…like….dish soap." I groaned.

Deidera laughed and took the bottle from me taking a drink "Everyone says that about their first sip of alcohol. You'll get used to it.

"Here try again, yeah?" he handed the bottle back to me.

I took another drink. He was right, it was still nasty and odd, but it went down a bit smoother this time.

Before I knew it we had finished half the bottle and everything started to taste like water.

I laughed uncontrollably as Deidera told me stories about his first experience with art and how he used to accidently set his clay bombs off in class, once setting his sensai's butt on fire.

"They failed me twice because of those damn clay birds, I didn't reach chunin until I was nearly fifteen." He frowned at the memory.

"If it makes you feel better my friend Ino and I knocked each other out at the same time during the chunin exams. Needless to say, we both failed." I smiled at the memory.

Deidera laughed so hard he was holding his stomach.

"Hey Deid-de-ra?" I hiccupped. "Do you ever miss your old life?" I asked taking another sip of sake.

"Not really, I never had many friends growing up and I felt the academy was always restricting how I could express my art. Although sometimes I guess I do miss the peacefulness of my village, it was much less drama than the Akatskui, yeah?"

I smiled "You and me aren't so different it seems. You're not like the others. You've been nice to me since the day you stopped Kisame from killing me. I'm really glad that throughout all of this, I've found a friend in you."

Deidera's smile faded into seriousness.

"Sakura? Why do you let Itachi treat you like that?"

I sighed "He's not all that bad, I mean yes he did do all of those things to me but there's something good inside of him, I just know it. Someone hurt him and caused him to be this way, I know the old Itachi before the massacre is still in there."

Deidera gawked at me like I had just spoken in another language.

"You are the only person I have ever heard speak positively about Itachi. You really are something else, yeah?" he looked astonished.

The room started to spin and the more I talked to Deidera the more I felt myself becoming carefree and happy.

"Deidera…is the room supposed to be spinning?" I asked.

That really tickled him and he let out a loud belly laugh.

"It means you're drunk Sakura-chan." He clenched his stomach still laughing.

I stood to go get a glass of water from the sink. The second I got on my feet the entire room shifted and spun around faster causing me to stumble and fall right into Deidera knocking him out of his chair onto the floor.

"You really are drunk." He laughed.

I pushed myself off of him and lifted my head to find myself face to face with him.

He stopped laughing and his blue eyes stared intensely into my jade orbs.

"You're so beautiful Sakura-chan." He raised a hand to stroke my cheek.

The touch of his hand was soft and gentle, the complete opposite of what I was used to everyday around here. I was either being punched, kicked, or stabbed in training sessions. His gentle touch was an enormous relief.

Deidera leaned in too kiss me, gently meeting my lips.

"I'm in love with you Sakura-chan"

I couldn't tell if it was the liquor speaking or if he really felt that way. Deidera was emotional by nature so it was hard to tell. I knew I didn't love him back but I was too drunk to care. I needed genuine, love and care from someone who hadn't hurt me in the past and Deidera was the only one here who could give that to me. He was saying all the things I wanted to hear. Completely drunk and utterly unaware of my actions, I let my guard down and kissed him back.

Deidera picked me up into his arms carrying me back to his room. Laying me gently down on the bed he climbed atop of me placing his arms on both sides of my body and leaned down to kiss me over and over again.

I was being selfish and stupid and at the time I was totally carefree about it.

Deidera removed his shirt revealing his lean tone torso. I ran my hands down his chest feeling the warmth of his skin.

Without removing his lips from mine he slipped my dress off revealing my undergarments.

The last thing I remember is Deidera pulling me closer and whispering

"You're perfect."

I awoke to a pounding headache and my stomach screaming at me. What the hell was I thinking drinking all of that sake last night?

I slowly opened my eyes which was a struggle because they felt as heavy as bricks.

I moaned at the pain that shot through my head when my eyes came into contact with the daylight seeping through the window. My vison was slightly blurry but I could have sworn there was someone standing in my doorway.

I blinked rapidly and as my vision cleared, I recognized that Itachi was the figure standing in my doorway.

I gasped when I saw the expression on his face.

His sharigan was ablaze and his face was twisted with fury.

Confused and a bit scared I pinched my eyebrows together about to ask him what his problem was when I felt a draft on my back.

I turned around to see….Deidera!?

He was fast asleep curled up on his side with his arm wrapped around my waist and he was naked!

How did I not feel him lying next to me?! And why was he in my room!? I looked around. Wait…this isnt my room!

I looked down at myself and realized I was wrapped up in a sheet but underneath I was completely naked!

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! What have I done!?

I snapped my head back around to look at Itachi but he was already gone.

"Shit!" I blurted aloud waking Deidera in the process.

Jumping out of the bed I scrambled to put my clothes on.

"Good morning Sakura—" I cut him off

"Deidera I'm so sorry but this was a mistake." I frantically zipped my dress up.

He looked as if I had stabbed him in the heart with a kunai.

"Sakura why would you say something like that?"

"Itachi was here, he saw us. I was drunk I didn't even know things went that far, I'm sorry if I led you on I don't feel that way about you." I apologized and I felt like shit because I knew every word I said was crushing him.

"Itachi? This is about him, yeah? Why do you even care if he saw us! Good im glad he did!"

"DEIDERA! This isnt about him, its about the fact that I made a mistake and led you on. I was drunk and I didn't know what I was doing. If you hate me I understand, I am truly so sorry. I can't stay in here like this, I have to go."

"Sakura wait!" he called after me as I darted out of the door.

What was I thinking? I seriously fucked up big time. I power walked to my room praying I didn't run into anyone on the way there. I turned the corner and made it to the hallway my bedroom was in and came right into contact with Itachi who was walking in my direction from the other end of the hall.

As we approached closer I noticed he was avoiding eye contact with me.

He's pissed.

Against my better judgment I stepped in his way and spoke first.

"I didn't know what I was doing, I drank too much last night and it just happened. I don't remember any of it." I blurted out an explanation.

Itachi gazed down at me.

"Why are you explaining yourself to me?" he asked.

"Well because….I….well you were…..because….I don't know…." I couldn't find the words to explain why I felt the need to say something to him. I just knew that I did.

"Who you sleep with is none of my business Sakura, nor do I care." He gazed at me expressionless.

For some reason his words hurt me, and I wanted so badly for him to take them back.

"Then why did you kiss me like that last night!?" I was afraid of his answer.

"Because I wanted to." He responded.

Seriously? That's his explanation for what happened last night?

"So that's what you tell yourself? There were feelings behind that kiss and you know it." I challenged his lie.

"Hn."

Alright fine, if he was going to play that game then I will too.

I stared directly into his eyes, standing firm and tall, challenging him to make the first move. He returned my gaze and we had a stand off for a long while before he spoke.

"Are you going to stand there and stare at me all day, or will you step aside so I can go on my mission?" he asked.

I hadn't even noticed he was dressed in his cloak with his weapon sack wrapped around his waist.

"Mission? What mission?" I asked.

He ignored me, breaking away from my stare and walked around me to leave the compound.

Frustrated at myself for being so stupid, I decided to go to the training grounds out back to blow off some steam.

Taking my frustrations out on nature, I rammed my fists into nearby boulders, shattering them into gravel.

As I kicked a tree over, I stared into the forest and contemplated running. It was no use, they would sense that my chakra signature had disappeared the second I left.

I had seriously made a mess of my already fucked up life here. Deidera was heartbroken, Itachi was pissed off and giving me the cold shoulder, and I felt like idiot. No, I was an idiot.

"I need to get away from here" I moaned in despair.

"I think I can help you with that." An unfamiliar voice came from behind me.

Spinning around I couldn't believe who was standing in front of me.

"Aoi Sensai?!" I was in disbelief. "I thought you were…you're supposed to be …."

"Dead?" he finished my sentence for me.

"Sasuke and Naruto they killed you!"

His laugh was deadly, and it sent shivers down my spine.

"You mean that little quarrel over the thunder sword? Those little brats at the time may have cracked and destroyed the sword but they didn't kill me. They also didn't succeed and destroying the power of the second Hokage's sword either." He smiled.

"How…how is that possible? That sword was blown to pieces." I took a step back.

"Not before I absorbed some of its power. Poor little Sauske thought he actually killed me, but it was the abortion of the thunder sword's power that rendered me unconscious."

"What are you doing here?" I asked taking another step back.

"That's simple, I'm here for you." He took a step towards me.

"Stay back!" I warned summoning chakra to my fists.

"You really are a little spitfire, but that won't be necessary little Kunoichi." Reaching out a single finger he touched my forearm and white hot jolts of pain traveled throughout my entire body.

Darkness consumed me.

I awoke to the damp smell of moss and rainwater. Soreness in my wrists nagged at me and I pulled my arms forward only to discover my wrists were cuffed and chained to the wall.

Where was I and how long had I been unconscious?

I summoned chakra to my arms to break the chains from the wall and realized that I had none. Someone had completely depleted my chakra, leaving only enough for me to come back to consciousness.

I tugged at the chains ignoring the fact the cuffs were slicing through my wrists.

I heard footsteps approaching and I panicked tugging harder at the chains.

"Now , now Sakura. If you keep doing that you're going to slice those pretty little wrists to shreds and bleed out to death. An elite medical ninja like yourself should know better than that."

It was him again. Kabuto.

"What the hell have you done to me!?" I growled.

"It was Aio who brought you here. I haven't done anything to you….yet. He pushed his glasses back up his face with his pointer finger.

"You've been unconscious for almost two days, Aio has been waiting patiently to speak to you"

It's been over a day already and no one has found me? I panicked. I had to find my way out of here.

"Kabuto released the cuffs from my hands and held a kunai at my throat.

"Don't try anything stupid." He warned.

Even if I wanted to fight I didn't have any chakra left in me to do so.

I went to stand and collapsed. My legs were stiff from sitting in the same positon for almost two days.

Trying once again I successfully stood as Kabuto dragged me out of the cell by my arm.

I was escorted down a long candle lit walkway in what looked like a cave or dungeon. Kabuto escorted me up a flight of stairs and down another long hallway before opening a door that looked like a giant indoor arena.

Across the arena sat Aio in a royal like throne.

"The sleeping beauty has finally awakened." His voice felt like snakes crawling around on my skin.

"What do you want with me Aio? Don't waste my time with your flattery."

"My, my so feisty. Just how I like it." He purred.

This guy seriously gave me the creeps.

"Here's the situation Sakura. You're here to make a deal with me. I need you to heal Orochimaru's arms so he can get back to using his jutsu and take over Sasuke's body. You see, he possess knowledge about almost every forbidden jutsu out there, including the reanimation jutsu. I need that for my own personal reasons but seeing as how his jutsu is immobilized right now due to his injuries, he can't really accomplish that for me now can he? So I made a little deal, I'd kidnap you and hand deliver you to Kabuto who would then take you straight to him. You heal his arms, he absorbs Sasuke, I get what I want and everyone lives happily ever after. Did you catch all that?" he titled his head to the side.

"You forgot the best part. The irony of Sakura being the leverage for Orichimaru to infiltrate the leaf." Kabuto added.

Wait a second, I thought Kabuto made a deal with the Akaskui? He was lying the entire time.

"Kabuto…you liar."

"Name calling isn't a very nice thing to do Sakura." He pretended to look sad.

"Does Itachi know what you're up to?" I asked.

"No…well he didn't before but I'm willing to bet money he's figured it out by now." He shrugged.

"So Sakura, it's been nice seeing you and all but you and Kabuto have a nice little trip to make." Aio dismissed us with a wave of his hand.

"I won't go." I said.

"You don't have much of a choice, it's not like you can put up a fight." Kabuto still had the kunai pointed at my chest.

He was right, there was no way I was going to be able to hold my own in a fight with these two. But if Kabuto took me to Orochimaru there was no hope for me . He would either kill me and look for a new medic to heal his arms or he would threaten to kill someone from the leaf, leaving me no choice but to heal his arms. It was a lose, lose situation.

I took a deep breath and did the only thing I knew would stop the infiltration of the Leaf and the absorption of Sauske at this point.

I threw myself forward into the kunai Kabuto was holding and stabbed myself right through the chest.

I know im so evil for these cliff hangers xoxoxo
