I know these chapters are short but this is intentional. I have reasons for this. So enjoy
Chapter 5
Where the darkness leads
Kakashi stood helpless outside the alleyway and watched as his teammate fought Itachi. It didn't work, making him even more anxious. It seemes that the more she tried, the moer she failed. She was yelling something as she fought, but he coldn't hear. " SAKURA!!!!"

" Nooooo! Agh." Sakura was slammed into the ground again. Itachi stood lazily as stood up, yet again, on wobbly legs. He admired her effort, he'd give her that, but the rest of her was just in the way. She stood there breathing heavily. She watched him and he the same. The she noticed something. The once saddened eyes were gone and in there place a hint of pain. she couldn't be sure because it was gone in an instant. Back to cold.
" W-hy is it... that your eyes...c-change", she asked between breaths," From sympathetic to and hardended glare?" Itachi froze at the question. How did she know that? He knew he kept his emotions in check. Then sat and ponderd the question. Even he had no idea what made him so cold.
" I dunno." They continued staring at each other. Finally she sighed and straightened up, unaware by both, that someone had entered the barrier.

" She's in there isn't she."
"Yep, I can't find a way in though." Kakashi said automatically. As if to prove his point, he ran at the alleyway and collided with the invisible wall again. He turned to face the dark-haired boy behind him then jumped. He wasn't there. He listened for some sort of sound. There was none. I could've sworn... He paused mid thought. Sensing he wasn't alone,he pulled back his headband, exposing the sharingan he inherited after the accident. BANG!!!! He turned quickly back to the alleyway where Itachi was holding Sakura hostage. She was being carried by someone. Red eyes shown in the dark, but the was a blur of another set of eyes. He reslized that the set holding Sakura was running towards him. He jumped out of the way just as Sasuke forced his way out of alley, Itachi close on his heels.
" TAKE HER!" he threw her back as he raced past Kakashi. He caught her, Kakashi turned as Itachi passed him. he watched as the two brothers ran after one another. He looked down to Sakura and realized the same flag he gave her in her hand. She clutched it to her like a lifeline. How odd, but he had no time to ponder its significance. He raced back to his house. He placed her in him room and sat on he fasr corner so he could see everything, should someone try to break in. He never slept that night.
