Chapter 12

"Finally brother against brother. Itachi, you have no idea how long I have waited for this!" Sasuke yelled angrily. Itachi stared at Sasuke coolly, "Hn." Sakura could see Sasuke as he stiffened and his blood started to boil, "I will kill you Itachi!" And with that said Sasuke jumped forward while shouting, "Chidori!" Itachi narrowed his eyes, but didn't move. The sound of chirping birds filled the air and Sakura put her hands on her ears; cause to her it sounded like someone scraped their nails on a chalkboard. Sakura closed her eyes when Sasuke's hand went through Itachi and a sickening sound was heard of ripping flesh.

Sakura cried softly, "Itachi-kun…I'm sorry I didn't help, but I'm so confused." Sakura lifted her head when she heard Sasuke scream in frustration. Sasuke's chidori had actually hit a log and the real Itachi was no where to be seen. Sakura looked around the area and saw Itachi sitting on a tree yawning. Sakura sighed in relief. Itachi smirked at her, "You wanted to help me?" Sakura glared to him, "Right now isn't the time to be talking Itachi-kun!"

Sasuke had suddenly appeared behind Itachi and kicked him in his stomach. Itachi had then activated his sharingan. Sasuke had already activated his own and his eyes looked like a fiery mess. Sasuke growled, "You take me so lightly brother…" Itachi snorted, "Is there any reason not too?" Sasuke wrapped his hands around Itachi's neck and snapped it, but that Itachi turned into a cloud of smoke. "Shadow clone." Sasuke sneered.

Sakura watched the battle and saw that Itachi was actually teasing Sasuke. Sakura sighed, 'What should I do?' 'I don't know! Cha, just kick Sasuke's ass. I mean what has he ever done to us but hurt us and put down our dreams?' Sakura nodded to herself. 'Uh…Sakura LOOK OUT!' Sakura then widened her eyes as a blue arm wrapped its self around her waist, "What the fuck?"

A deep rumble emitted from behind her and it put its hand on her mouth preventing her from screaming. 'What's going on?!' Inner Sakura frowned, 'It's the Akatsuki! Kisame is the person who's caught us!' Kisame smirked, "Well, your going to be good bait girl." Sakura narrowed her eyes, but suddenly Kisame knocked her out using his chakra-absorbing sword.

Itachi and Sasuke where so engrossed in their battle they didn't notice Kisame's or Deidara's chakra. Deidara smirked, "Let's leave with a bang, un." Kisame grinned showing off his sharp pointy teeth, "Yeah, we want Itachi-san to follow us anyways." Deidara nodded and made two clay birds. One grew five times its size and the other sat on the tree awaiting further instructions.

Kisame lifted up Sakura and put her over his shoulder and climbed on the bigger clay bird. Deidara also climbed on and they flew a couple feet in the air, "Art is a blast, un!"

Itachi and Sasuke glared coldly at each other. Sasuke had a cut on his cheek and a slash on his shoulder. Itachi was completely unscratched, but he had an amused smirked on his face.

BOOM!

The explosion blasted them and they both fell to the floor. Sasuke growled, "What jutsu was that Itachi? You sure missed." Itachi blankly stared at him before looking around and narrowing his eyes dangerously. Sasuke jumped at Itachi ready to attack again, but Itachi had enough and pushed Sasuke to the ground as fast as he had jumped up, "Sasuke…where is Sakura-chan?" Sasuke frowned, "How should I know? Don't ignore me Itachi!"

Itachi walked away from Sasuke and then clicked his tongue to show irritation, "Sasuke someone took Sakura!" Sasuke widened his eyes in surprise, "What?" Itachi then closed his eyes and activated Mangekyou. Itachi spoke calmly and slowly as if choosing his words carefully, "Let's make a truce Sasuke." Sasuke growled, "I'll never help you do anything Itachi!" Itachi frowned, but continued, "You're not helping me. Let's make this truce to save Sakura-chan. I have noticed a chakra trail and we must follow it before it disappears and they get to far away."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, "Sakura come out where ever you are and stop playing these games with me!" Itachi snorted, "She's been kidnapped. Let's go Sasuke! I can't fight you when we need to save our strength to save her! We can fight after we rescue her!" Sasuke snapped, "How can I trust you?" Itachi smirked, "You can't."
