Previous Chapter:

She stopped, he smirked, she dropped her strong gaze, and he felt guilty. It seemed that everything she did had some sort of effect on him.

Between fingers he softly grasped her chin. "You're a weakness."

She was confused, and then she blacked out.

Onto the next Chapter:

Hazy vision flooded her as she grasped her head. She looked over the familiar room and her gaze landed on a tall man clad in a black cloak.

"I really hate it when you do that…" Sakura groaned, standing up on unbalanced feet.

Itachi stared blankly at the struggling pink haired girl as she took her first steps from the bed. She stumbled and tripped over.

Lazily he caught her in his arms.

Up she looked, into his red eyes, those eyes she remembered so well. Green clashed with crimson as he returned the stare, refreshing his own memory.

Slowly he leaned down and teased her, letting his hott breath dance along her lips and neck as she inhaled the distant scent of pumpkins and spice.

Her breath hitched in her throat as she gazed longingly through half-lidded eyes at his lips, waiting for them to catch her own, and without another moment passing by, they did.

She gasped into his mouth as his hands found their way to her waist and hers found his hair. He took the advantage and allowed his tongue to explore her mouth. She tasted sweet, just like a cherry blossom should. He grinned into the kiss as he broke away from her.

"Ita-kun…" She sighed as she laid her head on his chest.

Slowly he brushed his fingers through her pink hair. "Yes."

"…I'm a weakness?"

Itachi forced Sakura to look at him.

"You're…you're my weakness." He spoke gruffly as his lips descended upon hers again.

The kiss was sweet and chaste this time. Slowly he pulled back and leaned his forehead against hers intimately. He laced his hands in hers.

"You have no weakness." Sakura said, her eyes shimmering in…love?

"Everybody has a weakness, some are just better at hiding it." Itachi stated as he pulled back.

Stiffly he walked to a chair and pulled an outfit up into her view.

"Wear this, we're going out to get you some clothes." Itachi threw a cloak at her, as she looks down at her ripped and dirtied attire.

With one hand she caught the cloak.

"I'm not wearing this." She stated arrogantly.

Itachi turned around, "You are and you have no choice."

Sakura glared at the vile man, "I'm still not wearing this, I am not a member. I'm not a traitor."

Itachi grabbed Sakura's wrist firmly, "You might not be a traitor, but you are a prisoner, hostage if you will. You have no choice. PUT ON THE CLOAK, or I will strip you from any other clothes you have."

Sakura stepped closer to Itachi, failing miserably at intimidating him by sizing him up, "You wouldn't dare." Sakura growled through gritted teeth.

The next thing Sakura knew was that she was rushing to put on the Akatsuki cloak for coverage. On the contrary to popular belief cotton underwear doesn't cover much, and even the indoors can be cold…especially in front of love hungry males.

Itachi smirked to himself, "On second thought if you don't want to wear the cloak, its fine by me."

"Give me back my clothes." Sakura scowled, drowning in the excess material.

"But these are so dirty and worn…" Itachi's smirk grew steadily larger.

"Give…them…back!" Sakura yelled.

"I think I should wash them first."

Sakura ran towards Itachi and began to jump up to reach the clothes he heald above himself.

"Its amazing how every time you jump, that cloak opens up widely…I think it might be to big for you." Itachi smiled impishly. "Good thing we're going to go by you clothes.

The elder Uchiha tucked her clothes inside of his cloak and walked out the door, with undoubtedly Sakura following after.

Her feet peppered the floor as she chased after him.

Itachi exited through a big hidden steel door.

"Itachi!" Sakura screamed, "Itachi…Ita-" A hand shot out from behind Sakura, muffling her screams.

"Shhhh … now now there. Wouldn't you rather spend time with me?"

Sakura's green eyes opened ferociously as she turned around and saw Gaara.

Wait… someone who looked a lot like Gaara.

The mans spiky red hair seemed to defy gravity and his pale skin was well shown through a mesh shirt.

He dragged her struggling figure through a wooden door, with the steel name plate placed in the middle, Sasori. With one hand He opened the cloak and saw her underdressed body. He smirked.

"Looks like you came all ready for me." Sakura struggled, and got one hand free. Aiming she punched the man in the jaw.

A loud crack echoed as he moved his face back towards her.

"You have a nice little punch there." He grimaced, "Too bad I'm going to have to punish you for that little rebellion."

"Enough." A masculine voice spoke. "Do you not know who this is?"

Sasori's head snapped up to Itachi's voice. He let his eyes travel back and forth between the Uchiha and the girl.

"Who?"

"Haruno, Sakura. You hurt her and leader will not be well pleased." Sasori's eyes hardened.

"You are not trying to protect the girl." He mocked.

Itachi's hand instantly found its way to Sasori's neck.

"She is under my authority and you will not touch her." Itachi warned him, throwing him against the wall of the room.

"Sakura, lets go." Itachi ordered emotionlessly, walking out of the shadowed room.

Immediately Sakura followed Itachi out of the room.

"Don't ever do that again." Itachi spoke gruffly.

"Do what?"

"Just…that. You are mine." Itachi grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the building, and they began running.

Quicker than the untrained eye can see they traveled down a tall hill. They zoomed passed trees, letting the wind carry the sounds of their light breathing and occasional snap of a branch.

"Itachi."

"Hn."

"Where are we going."

"To the village at the bottom of the mountain."

Tsunade's hands slammed against the desk angrily. "Its been four days! Four days since I have had sake! FOUR!! We need to find Sakura!"

"Let me find her." Naruto yelled back.

"NO. She can take on Akatsuki. The only way the could beat her is if they continuously drained her chakra…"

"Then what if that's what they've been doing?"

"We do what I've been saying to do. Wait till the end of the week for her to return. If she's not back by then we send three hunter nin squads for her. She is our best ninja here, without her we have a giant hole in our army."

"Let me go." A sullen voice growled.

"Shut it Uchiha. You know you're on probation."

"So what do you expect us to do?"

"What I've been telling you to do. Wait until the end of the week."

"Fine. But I want in on one of those hunter nin squads."

Naruto sighed, Sasuke growled and Tsunade silently sighed.

"Three more days until she joins, until someone dies, until the end of the week." The leader of Akatsuki mumbled as he took a nice long swig of sake.
