Chapter 19

Crimson was the only thing Itachi saw at that very moment. Tears wildly for the first time streaming like waterfalls falling down his pale face. He had just saw…

Flashback…

Sasuke growled and jumped towards Madara in complete angst and despite the complete and utter pain that ran through his body, "How could you?! They were your clan too!" Sasuke pulled out his sword aiming straight for Madara's heart. Madara shook his head completely unaffected, "Tsk." With that short grunt Madara grabbed Sasuke's sword and flung it into a tree nearby. Quickly Madara grabbed Sasuke's neck and slammed him into a tree.

With an arrogant smirk Madara replied calmly, "The clan kicked me out after I killed my brother and stole his eyes. I was hoping that Itachi-kun was going to follow my path…but I am sadly disappointed." Sasuke struggled to get breath under Madara's strong grip. Itachi aimed a kick for Madara's head, but missed because Madara jumped back. Sasuke gasped for air before he stood up shakily, "Itachi…"

Itachi glanced at Sasuke before returning his glaze to Madara; "I don't see why you attack Sasuke-kun at all. Why don't you just attack me?" Madara smirked, "I'm going to make you suffer Itachi! I want to see you squirm in pain and misery!" Itachi narrowed his eyes and threw kuani at Madara. Madara elegantly dodged them. Sasuke screamed, "CHIDORI!"

A cloud of smoke covered Itachi's vision. After a moment or two the smoke disappeared and Itachi's eyes widened in horror, "SASUKE!" Sasuke had his own sword going through his body. Blood was dripping freely from his body and his eyes looked blank, empty, and hollow. Madara was standing near Sasuke's body and looked at Itachi with amusement in his eyes, "That was quite a powerful jutsu. I'm impressed with him. Too bad it was all for nothing huh?"

End of Flashback…

Madara raised an eyebrow, "Oh?" Madara lifted his hand and put it on Sasuke's forehead, with a small push he knocked Sasuke's body to the ground in a THUMP! Shaking in anger Itachi growled, "I will kill you no matter what you little shit!"

Sakura had stopped talking with herself long enough to notice that Sasori ran away and Kakuzu was grumbling to himself. Sakura smirked once she noticed Sasori's strings loosen. Quickly and with the help of Yuki's chakra she switched herself with Kakuzu. Kakuzu's eyes widened, "What the?" Sakura smiled and cheered because she was standing without anything holding her down.

Kakuzu just looked at her with a look that only said, 'Damn.'

Sakura hit the pressure point on the back of his neck knocking him out and then looked around quickly finding a window. Smiling she ran towards it and tried to open it. Luckily with the first try it snapped open. Taking in a breath of fresh air she was about to jump out, but hands slid around her waist, "Sakura-chan no, un!"

Sakura turned around to face Deidara. He smiled and hugged her; "I don't want you to die, un. But I can't let them know that I'm helping you escape." Sakura stared at him; 'I don't need your help the exit is right there!' 'Inner Sakura' fumed, "What the hell is wrong with him?" Deidara noticing her accusing stare grinned and said, "That window is a trap, un. You would have died because the moment you jumped out there would only be spikes at the bottom calling for your death, un!"

Sighing in relief Sakura patted Deidara's head, "Thanks…I think." Deidara blushed, "It's no problem to me Sakura-hime!" With that he led her to a door that was just plain wood, "Here is the exit, un." Sakura smiled and bowed, "Thank-you Deidara-kun." Deidara's grin grew wider, "Be careful Sakura-chan. And it is me who owes you a thank-you, un. Here in the Akatsuki I have been lonely, but you allowed me to talk to you, un and I know that you listened."

'Inner Sakura' laughed, "We weren't listening to crap. We where trying to kill ourselves!" Sakura turned her head away; "It was nice talking to you Deidara-kun." Deidara smiled softly, "If you ever decided to get come back on your free will, un…" Deidara leaned towards Sakura and kissed her softly on the cheek, "Know that I will be waiting, un!" With that said he opened the door and pushed her out.

Sakura looked backwards to see trees. 'Deidara-kun…'

Smiling at his good deed Deidara walked to his bedroom to find Pein leaning against the doorframe, "I don't like it when mere mortals don't listen to gods."
