Please be kind and rewind as I do not own the masterpiece called Naruto, just this thing I am calling a plot line.

This is a non-massacre, Itachi and Sakura pairing, if you don't like it please hit the back button as you are in the wrong section of fan fiction. Thank you. I am going to put this under M just to be safe.

Hey, yeah and I totally didn't noticed that I put the same notice for chapter five and six.

Also I know that everyone is a little confused and are wondering what is going on and if I have lost my mind. Well sorry to break it to you guys but I have never completely recovered my mind from the numerous math classes I have taken. But look at the bright side! This fanfiction came from my crazy-pudding-loving mind! But I digress. I promise I will make it as clear as possible.

Hope you enjoy!

Last chapter

Moaning the young pink hair woman opened her eyes as she tried to sit up. She was greeted by a very bright light and a gentle hand pushing her back down.

"What's going on? Where am I?" Her voice was strained from its months of none use.

"Easy now, here try some water." The kind voice held a glass of cool water to the young woman. The rosette drank rapidly and began to cough.

"I said easy now." The voice said again.

"I'm sorry." The pink haired woman looked up to see a large busted woman with long blonde hair and warm honey eyes. "Who are you?"

"Damn brat always being right. What is the last thing you remember Sakura?"

"Who's Sakura?"

TTT

"Come on! We have been waiting for two whole days! When can we see her?" Ino whined.

Most of the Rookie nine had been waiting to see Sakura for the last two days, ever since she woke up. This however was causing many traffic jams and major stress to the rest of the hospital. To combat this, our favourite honey eyed Hokage has been sending the members of the Rookie nine on a number of missions. Alas, it was hopeless. Each team she sent out was back within hours. Perhaps sending ANBU and Jounin level ninja to complete Chuunin and Genin missions wasn't such a good idea. This led to Shizume and Tsunade taking turns keeping watch on Sakura's door. Especially when it came to the fact that many of the Rookie nine where trying to use whatever it took to get into that room; whether through intimidation, connections with the nurses, and pure awkward starring (more like glaring) contest with the poor unfortunate soul that had the luck of the short straw among the nurses. Eventually the nurses put up enough fuss that the Hokage and her second in command step up to guard the door.

No one knew however that not only was Sakura trying to get out of that very same room but she also had visits from one certain Uchiha, one emotionalist artist and one bush brow Taijutsu specialist. In other words, she was not too lonely, but their constant visits were making it difficult for her to sneak away quickly and quietly.

"Please can't we see her? We haven't talked to her in almost seven months!" Ino continued.

"Absolutely not!" Shizume was starting to lose her patients. 'Why are my hours on guard duty longer then Tsunade's hours and in prime time with these kids waking hours?'

"Please Shizume. We just want to talk to her!" Naruto and Ino were in a whining contest to see who could make the underpaid medic crack first.

"No."

"Why?" They whined.

"Because, she just woke up and needs her rest."

"She's been asleep for like two months. Now I'm no medic, but I think she has had plenty of rest. Besides, how much energy does it take to talk for five teensy weensy minutes?" Naruto countered.

"That's right, you are NOT A MEDIC! It can also take A LOT OF ENERGY."

"But I am Shizume and I know Sakura. Even if she's tired, she would want to see us! We haven't seen each other in months and she's has bound to have missed us!"

"Please!" The annoying blondes simultaneously begged.

"Besides she's probably bored of sitting in that bed for so long." Ino add.

"No!"

"Please. Pretty please with sugar on top."

"NO!"

"But why?"

"Because I said so! Now if you don't leave this instant, I am going to put you all on D-rank missions for a month!"

"Nice going Dope." Susake groaned as all of Sakura's hopeful visitors shuffled their way to the exit.

TTT

"I have to go. I have to keep going or they will catch me." Sakura said out loud to herself. She had spent the last two days searching the room she was in for anything that would be useful to her. So far she had found a set of clothes, that look oddly familiar to her somehow, a worn blue edged scroll with a child's picture of a fish on it and a couple of scalpels. For some reason, Sakura felt much better with some sort of sharp edged potential weapon on her. She had also been keeping food from her meals. Storing it in a meal tray one of her 'guest' had left behind.

Thinking of which, she had better hide her supplies before her favorite 'guest' came in.

For some unknown reason, Sakura could not comprehend why the dark haired man was her favorite, he just was. All she really knew of him was the fact that he had the most beautiful appearance she had ever seen and he also always brought her rice balls. Sakura knew she was being silly, but those rice balls where to die for. Just the heavenly smell alone was enough to have her drooling.

"Hmmmmm rice balls. Like heaven on earth!" Sakura was once again staring off into space just thinking of them, the drool was now slowly making its way over the side of her lip and down her chin.

"I am certain that the chief would appreciate such high admiration of their cooking Sakura. Glad to see that your sense of smell is in working order." Itachi smirked as he whipped some of the drool of her chin with the pad of his thumb.

"Arrogant ass, always smirking about! Where's my Ringo?" Trying to look behind the tall male, Sakura realized that not only was there not a wiggling mass of cuteness on his back, but also the smell of baby powder was far too faint. There was also no way that a baby could fit into the lunch boxes that he had in his hand. The large back pack in his other hand was another thing all together. However, Sakura knew that Itachi would never be so reckless with something important in his care.

"She is at home sleeping."

"Oh." Trying not to sound too disappointed, Sakura turned and hopped onto her bed.

Pulling up a chair, Itachi sat down and handed her the first box. Inside were not only the most divine rice balls in the world, but also some sort of cooked meat and lots of veggies.

"This looks fabulous! Aren't you going to have any?"

"Later."

"You always say that and never do." Grinning, Sakura ate the rest of her meal.

"I stopped by your apartment yesterday and picked up a few things." Standing up, Itachi opened the back pack and starting pulling out items. The first to come out was a beautifully handmade quilt followed by several pictures and two abused looking books; one being a cook book and the other being a medical book. Itachi was hoping that these items would jog some sort of memory, even if 'Inner Sakura' was trying blocking them.

"I have an apartment?" Sakura asked as she finished the last bite.

"Yes." Itachi picked up another box. Opening it, he passed it to Sakura. It was filled with cookies and other sweets.

"And you just walked right in their like you own the place?" Accepting the box, Sakura picked up one of the chocolate cookies and took a giant bite out of it.

"You left the door unlocked." Picking up the pictures he placed them on the small table beside the bed. One was a picture of three children with an older man behind them, the second was of a group of young women at a beach, the third was like the first but the children where older and there were two other men in the photo. The last was of two women and two men. One of the men was standing in the room with her. After he was done, Itachi sat down at the foot of her bed.

"This of course makes that perfectly alright than." The young woman looked over at the pictures.

"Hey I recognize him!" Leaning over and picking up the third picture, Sakura pointed to the younger of the two new males. "He comes to visits me too! He's not very nice sometimes and all he does is sit there drawing away."

"Sai is an oddity." Itachi reached over and picked up a cookie.

"He's more than odd. He has this weird fake smile and he calls me hag and ugly all the time. He NEVER uses my name."

"YOU are not UGLY! You are the most beautiful flower in the entire world. Where is this scandal of which you speak? I will challenge him to 200 jumping jacks!"

The pair on the bed turned and looked at the new voice only to see Lee wiggling his way out of the vents.

"Hello Lee, want a cookie?"

"No thank you Sakura! I HAVE BROUGHT YOU THESE FLOWERS!" Lee handed the stunned Sakura a slightly beat up bouquet of white lilies. "I can see that I am not the first to bring you a gift." Turning to Itachi, Lee continued to shout. "YOU ARE NOW MY RIVEL! I CHALLENGE YOU TO 300 PUSHUPS!"

"No."

"You refuse my challenge? Where is your youthful spirit?"

"Yeah Itachi, where is your youthful spirit?"

"Maybe you are unable to complete such a task! Fine than, I challenge you to 200 pushups and 200 sit ups!"

"How about a ninja race instead. First one to the edge of town and is able to hide for the longest wins."

"THAT IS AN EXCELT IDEA! SAKURA WILL YOU DO US THE HONOUR OF COUNTING TO THREE?"

"If you stop shouting." Seeing Lee nod yes rapidly, Sakura counted to three. When she reached three, Lee shot of like a firework and jumped out of the open window.

"Looks like you got a new best friend Itachi!"

"Hn."

"Aww. Why the long face? Afraid that you won't win the race?"

"No." Turning away from the window and looking at her, Itachi raised his hand and rubbed her chin.

"Hey!"

"You had chocolate on your chin." He said with a smirk before he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

TTT

Wiggling out of the air vent, Sai took in the room. Everything looked fine. The bed was made. The chairs for visitors were in the corners of the room. The door was closed and several shadows could be seen under the door. If one listens closely, voices could also be heard.

"Looks like Momma's second in command is on guard duty." Sai pondered.

Looking back at the rest of the room, Sai senses where telling him something was wrong. There was no evidence, none at all, of a person living here. The room's occupant was completely gone, not one sign of her remained.

"Well Hag is a clean freak most of the time."

Walking to the bathroom door, Sai knocked softly on the door. There was no answer but the light was on. Putting his ear to the door also did no good. For not a sound escaped the bathroom. 'Maybe she fell asleep in the bathtub.'

Knocking again, but this time louder, Sai waited for an answer. Again he received none.

'Last time I walked in on her, I couldn't eat solid food for a week.'

"Hag's worth it."

Opening the slowly, Sai peeked into the room. Nothing was thrown at him, nor was there a loud protest. His body was also still intact and unharmed.

Opening the door more he looked around. There was nothing there except the bath tub was filled with water with some sort of motor in it. Looking closer to the contraption, Sai decided that its function was to splash the water around. Thus giving the appearance that someone was in here.

"Clever Hag, too bad the batteries died."

Walking back into the main room, Sai moved to the T.V., it looked normal but it wouldn't turn on. Some of the medical equipment was also not functioning properly.

"Hag's been busy."

Spinning around, Sai realized that there was still evidence of the pink haired woman. Well three to be exact, not counting the motor and ruined machines. Three brown hairs, with pink at one end, were stuck on the side of the vent.

"Looks like little kitty has left the den. Momma's not going to be happy when she finds out."

Pulling out a scroll, the young artist began to draw on it. Upon finishing this act, the artist activated his ink creation.

"Find her."

With this said, three dozen birds took flight along with another three dozen rodents scampering into the vents.

"No!"

"Please. Pretty, pretty please with a mountain of sugar on top."

"NO!"

"How about Ramen?"

"NEVER!"

"Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

"Can you two just leave me alone? You have been at it for six hours! You are the only two left for goodness sake. Everyone else went home to rest. No I don't want a blind date, No I don't want ramen, No I won't bend the rules, No I am NOT Tsunade. I will not be bribed by alcohol or by shifts off or less paper work. Nor am I Kakashi, I don't want the latest paradise porn book."

"Why?"

"Because she can't remember a thing about herself and we don't want her to stress out about it ….and…. and I wasn't suppose to tell you this…." 'Crap I am so deceased. Or worse! She might make me do all of her paperwork and put me on nightshifts again!'

"WHAT!"

"Why me?" Shizume groaned as she sank to the floor. 'No wonder Tsunade drinks.'

TTT

Drip…. Drip….. Drip…. Drip

"Fucking torture. What the hell is dripping un?"

Drip…. Drip….. Drip…. Drip….. Drip…. Drip

"UGGGGGG! If I only I had my clay, I'd fix that drip good yeah."

Pushing himself up off the grungy floor, Deidara looked around the cell he found himself in. it was small and rocky. One wall was bars while the opposite looked like it was carved out of the side of a mountain.

It was hard to get any sort of real detail. There was little light and his scanner was taken from him along with all of his weapons, clay and chakra. The only things on him were what was left of his pants and a chakra eating maniacal, with a chain, that was attached to the wall. The chain was long enough for him to be able to reach most of the room, unfortunately the bars where out of reach.

Drip…. Drip….. Drip…. Drip….. Drip…. Drip

"I am tired of this crap, day in day out; it's been like this for years." The young man yelled as he grabbed his head.

Moaning, the young blonde sat back down and closed his eyes. That was when the screams started. Looking up Deidara tried to look out into the hallway. The screams sounded like they were coming from down the hall.

It seemed like it took eons for them to stop. When they finally did, they were replaced with the sounds of something being dragged and a scrapping sound of a rusted door opening.

"Hahaha what a wimp, if that's one of their elites; it will be an easy takeover."

More laughter was heard along with a moan.

"Should we even bother to lock him up?"

"Yeah, he'd be easier to kick if he's in the air."

Rattling of chains and the thud of something hitting bruised flesh was heard, along with the moans and groans of the unlucky prisoner.

Snap.

"Pathetic, a couple cracked ribs and a broken jaw and he passes out on us."

Drip, drip…. Drip, drip… Drip, drip…. Drip, drip….. Drip, drip…

The rusty door opened again and foot steps leading away from the unlucky prisoner's cell and right to Deidara's.

"Your turn pretty boy."

TTT

Salutations

La gasp! Who is this unlucky prisoner and how did our Deidara end up in this awful place? You will have to stay tune!

P.S. Sorry about the lack of action as of late. I promise there will be more in the feature and more Saku/Itch moments. But alas Big Bang Theory is on and so I must depart.

Yours truly
