A/N: I do not own Naruto or any of the Naruto's characters.
Chapter 13: Lies
I've seen that mark… But where? Itachi tried masking his surprise and thoughts.
"Thanks Uchiha…"Sakura said noticing that he was starring at her shirt. "Is something bothering you?"
"No… I'm going to get you some clothes." He said leaving.
Sakura looked at the tray. Looks good and smells good too. There was pancakes, a cup with juice, a cup with milk, a plate with scrambled eggs and a cup with yogurt. It's not the best breakfast and it doesn't look like it's poisoned. She thought as she scanned the food with her chakra. (A/N: I don't know if she can do that but in this fic she can. lol)
After she ate Sakura decided to go back to the books. If I'm going to do this madness I'll at least do it right. But then she got lost in thoughts. Itachi and Sasuke are so alike and yet so different. They got the same cold smile and look. She smiled.
Sakura was still lost in thoughts when Itachi came back in with some clothes.
"Something wrong?" he asked.
"Huh? Ooh no. Everything is fine except for the fact that I'm trapped in this dark, cold room and I'm not aloud to do anything." She complained.
"You're crazy! You must know that already, right? Geez, you only know how to complain!" Itachi couldn't believe that a girl with such innocent and lovely eyes could be so annoying. "You're starting to annoy –me!"
Sakura who had started laughing of his reaction suddenly froze. She remembered the first time someone called her annoying. "I already knew that too…" She said not looking at Itachi. "Your brother told me he always thought I was annoying…"
Itachi smirked. "It seems that little baka has brains after all."
Sakura didn't answer. She lost herself in thoughts again…

"Damn It!" the Kazekage hit his desk with all his furry. "It's been hours and still no news!"
"Kazekage sir, is everything ok?" One of the Hidden Village of Sand's ninjas asked.
"Yes, send a message to Konoha! I need news about the missing medic ninja.
"Yes sir." The ninja bowed and then left.
Sakura… please be okay! Gaara was so worried about Sakura. His heart wouldn't stop beating fast. Naruto, I'm counting on you once again!

"Ok, time to rest. We've been running for hours and if we run into the enemy we won't be in any condition of fighting." Yamato ordered Hinata, Sai, Naruto and Sasuke.
Naruto was about to argue when Yamato cut him "And no arguing Naruto! I'm the leader of this mission!"
"Naruto, you asked me if I was okay but you're they one that seems to be troubled with something. What's wrong?" Sai asked after a moment of silence.
Everyone stared at Naruto and Sai, even Sasuke. Hinata sat down at Naruto's side and whispered. "You should tell him now Naruto. He is going to find out sooner or later."
Naruto nodded. "I guess your right Hinata." He turned to Sai who was now sitting in front of him. "I don't know why Itachi took her if he was always hutting me down… But Sasuke, that traitor over there, knew Itachi was coming for her!" Tears were coming from his eyes.
Sai was shocked. He didn't understand how the guy Sakura always loved didn't do anything to help her. Anger filled Sai's veins. He glared at Sasuke who was starring at him. "He told you this? When? Why didn't anyone tell me" I would have been there to protect her!
"Well that traitor didn't tell anyone! He's so egoistic that he didn't care about what Itachi did to her!" Naruto was crying. "Now my best friend is in danger!"
"Naruto, we're going to get her back even if it costs my life!" Sai looked at Naruto who nodded. "Believe it!" he added getting Naruto's attention.
"Why are you so eager to save her? Is that girl so important to you?" Sasuke laughed trying to hide his jealousy.
"That girl has a name: Sakura. And yes, she is important to me! Why? Are you jealous Uchiha?! But, don't worry, no one here expects you to know anything about love!" Sai said holding himself back. He wanted to punch Sasuke until he turned inside out. "If anything happens to her I'm gonna make you pay!"
Sai's words hit him hard. Love? What is he saying? Is he in love with her?? Does that mean she loves him back? No, it can't be, she wouldn't change an Uchiha for a nobody like him…

"Hey Tenten!" Temari said as soon as she saw her friend. She was trying to gather the gang. Shikamaru's parents told her that he was at Neji's. The gang didn't know about Sakura being kidnapped yet. Tsunade had asked her to tell them so they could help in the search for Sakura. They would go in the opposite direction as Yamato and his team and should report immediately as soon as they found anything.
"Here to plan the wedding?" Tenten asked smiling but soon noticed the sad look on Temari's face. "Is something wrong? Did you and Shikamaru have a fight?"
"No, it's a lot worst. I'll tell you but first help me gather the gang, ok?" Temari forced a smile. Tenten nodded. "Get Ino and Shino and then met me and the others at Neji's house, I'll get Kiba and Akamaru."
Tenten nodded again. "Ok." She ran to Shino's house.
Fifteen minutes later they were all ate Neji's house. "What's wrong?" asked Neji.
Everyone was curious to know why they were all gathered there. Shikamaru was surprise to see Temari there and knew something was wrong. She would never come without telling him first.
Ino's eyes were red from crying. "It's about her, right? They haven't found her yet?" Ino began crying again. Ever since she found out that her best friend had been kidnapped she couldn't stop crying. She hadn't told anyone since it was Konoha's business.
Temari looked up at Ino. "You already know, huh? How didn't you find out?
Flashback: (A/N: Chapter 11)
"I said you are dismissed. I'll personally check up on the village." He handed Sai a note and turned back to Ino. "What are you waiting for? Go."
"I'm waiting for Sai. Duh!" she responded.
Sai was reading the note not believing what his eyes were seeing. "I am not going with you" he finally said. "Sakura… has been… kidnapped… Go back to Konoha Ino, please."
She didn't want to go but she didn't want to stay. Seeing him like that made her feel bad. "Alright Sai, take care and bring her back to Konoha." She said that and then left.
End of flashback:
"I was with Sai when ANBU told him…." She said in between tears.
"Her who? What are you two talking about? What happened?" Tenten demanded answers. She knew something had happened with one of her friends.
"Itachi Uchiha was here in Konoha this night…." Temari began explaining.
"Was he after Naruto?" Kiba asked. Naruto had told all his friends about the kyuubi in a past mission. He didn't like putting his friends in danger because of him.
"No…" Ino said. She had stopped crying which drew all their attention to her. "He was after Sakura…" she said.
"Sakura?!" Neji was shocked. "What does he want with her? Where is she?"
"Is she ok?" Shikamaru asked.
"What did he do to her? Where are Naruto, Hinata, Sasuke and Sai? Why aren't they here?" Shino asked.
"Itachi kidnapped her. The Hokage didn't tell me why so I guess she doesn't know. The others went after them but they seemed to have lost their track. We are the second search party and we have to leave now. Tsunade-sama seems to think we can run into the Akatsuki so we better out run them, that's way we're are in a group of nine. Neji, you're the leader and Shika, you're the strategist." (A/N: Nine because of Temari, Shika, Ino, Tenten, Shino, Ino, Neji, Kiba and Akamaru of course!)
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Tenten said. "Sakura needs our help.

"Ooh, I was almost forgetting." Itachi smirked. "There's been a change of plans. It seems you have been hiding who you really are, Cherry Blossom."
Sakura didn't understand. "What are you talking about? I thought Uchihas kept there word?! You're just saying that so you can change our deal!"
"Calm it!" He handed her a book. It was opened. The page's title was: The Legend of the Cherry Blossom. Sakura's heart raced. She couldn't believe it. The picture in the page was of her birthmark, the mark she hated. It can't be… that's my birthmark… that ugly thing in form of a cherry that I hide. The mark was on her back and it was always covered, when in bikini the bikini always covered it.
Itachi saw as Sakura's eyes began to hold back tears. He was shocked. She didn't know?
Who am I? Is this legend for real? Does this mean my entire life has been a lie?! Sakura was confused and angry. She kept reading for answers but only found more questions. The more she read, the more lies she found out about her life. Who the hell am I? Am I the girl from this legend? No… no! That's crazy! That would mean I'm a lie…
