The next day Sakura was woken up by Itachi. She looked around but didn't see Kisame anywhere. As if reading her thoughts Itachi answered her unspoken question. "Kisame is getting breakfast." As soon as he finished he walked over to a tree and jumped up to stand on one of the branches. Sakura knew he was scouting the area for rouge-nin or hunter-nin from Konoha.

When he was satisfied that they were not being followed he jumped back down and walked over to the newly restored fire. Itachi picked up a stick and started to tend to the fire to make sure it wouldn't die out. Sakura just sat there with her hands and ankles still tied. Now that she was more alert she thought how much her hand and ankles hurt. The charka ropes were digging into her skin, making the skin on her wrist red and raw. The chakra ropes on her ankles already bit into her flesh and the wounds were bleeding slightly.

When Kisame came back he dropped off the fish he caught and gave them to Itachi. Itachi picked up one fish at a time and stuck it was a sharpen stick. After that he set up all the sticks around the fire so they could cook. With that he headed over to where Kisame was, so that they could talk about their plan on getting back to the base. They walked into the tent so that Sakura could not over hear what they were saying.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How are we going to get the kunoichi to the base without her seeing it?" Kisame thought that maybe Itachi could put a cloth around her eyes or put her in a simple genjutsu.

"I'll put her in a docile genjutsu." Itachi was blunt and curt like always. Kisame nodded and they continued to work out all the possible threats and obstacle that they could encounter. When they were done they walked out over the tent to find that Sakura had fallen over and was now stuck lying on her side. Kisame walked over so he could fix her right side up.

He then walked over to where the fish were done cooking and picked up three for himself. Itachi also walked over and grabbed four. He then walked back to Sakura and held out one for her to eat. She ate the first one quickly and ate the second one he held out at a slower pace.

Itachi leant against the tree and ate his two pieces of fish. After finishing breakfast, Kisame took down the tent while Itachi watched over Sakura; even though he knew she had no way of escaping without her chakra. As they were getting ready to leave Itachi looked down to face her. He squatted down so he was eye to eye with her, and spoke. "When we get the make sure to stay quiet, and whatever you do don't say anything to Hidan." After he said that he walked away.

Sakura was confused after he left. Who was Hidan? And why couldn't she say anything to him? And why could she say anything at all? She was starting to feel a headache again from thinking too much.

When they were finished putting everything again, Kisame walked over to Itachi and hoist her over his shoulder. She let of a squeal and a grunt at the obvious uncomfortable position. Kisame seemed to ignore her as he walked over to Itachi and they both jumped up to the trees.

While they were running Sakura sat staring at the trees until they started to blend together, and she started to see different things. First she saw two shapes coming towards them. She wiggled around trying to get Kisame's attention, but when that didn't work; she tried to look at him only to come face to back with Sasuke. He was still wearing the clothes she saw him in when they went after him in Orochimaru's hideout. She was leaning on his sword, and he wasn't looking at her.

Sakura turned back around to see if the two people chasing them were coming closer. As she looked she narrowed her eyes trying to make out the figures. When she did she felt her breath leave her throat. It was Kakashi and Naruto. She blinked to see if she was seeing things, but it was them. This didn't make sense. Since when was she being carried by Sasuke, and where did Kakashi-sensei and Naruto come from.

That's when she remembered Itachi looking into her eyes to tell her to keep quiet when they arrived at the base and not to talk to Hidan. He must've put her into a genjutsu so she wouldn't know where the base was located. 'Kuso!' She thought angrily. How was she going to get out of here?

Here chakra was being suppressed and her wrist was bound together. She was useless and venerable. She looked back to Kakashi and Naruto and felt her heart stop. They were fighting against Suigetsu and Karin, while Juugo just watched trying to control himself.

From the way things were looking, Kakashi and Naruto didn't stand a chance. Sakura had to close her eyes and hold her breath to remember this was just a genjutsu. She couldn't help it when she felt tears start to fall down her face. She tried to blink them away, but couldn't.

She opened her eyes again to see Naruto and Kakashi fall to the ground covered in cuts and bruises, while blood poured freely.

'NOOO!' She screamed in her mind.

During Sakura's Genjutsu

Kisame struggled with the withering kunoichi on his back. Every since they started to travel she hadn't stop moving. 'What did Itachi do to you?' Kisame asked her silently in his head knowing she couldn't answer him. He turned back to look at Itachi. His face was still emotionless and his eyes were still blank. He was running straight through looking at nothing but what was ahead.

"Itachi-san, I thought you said you were going to put her in a docile genjutsu." Itachi moved his head back to look at him, never missing a branch or running into anything.

"I did." And he turned back around. His head facing the trees and branches ahead of them, looking like nothing ever happened. Kisame sighed. He knew Itachi didn't like violence unless it was necessary, but judging from the kunoichi withering in his grasp he wondered if Itachi liked to torment people instead of physically hurting them.

"It's going to be a long day." Kisame whispered quietly to himself adjusting his grip on Sakura.
