Apprehend

A scraping sound came from the kitchen near the kunoichi's bedroom. She glanced at the clock on her nightstand. It was four in the morning. Another, softer noise made her tense. It was not the natural creak and pop she sometimes heard at night. Thump. The noise repeated. She sat up and took the kunai from under her pillow. Someone was walking down the hallway. Quickly she sensed a light chakra only possibly detected by a kunoichi of her talents. She threw back her covers, crept to her door, and peered into the hallway. Her heart lurched. Two shadowy figures pressed against the wall. She could have pounced into attack , but caution told her to be still. Instead she slipped back across her bedroom to her open window. Then turning to face the door of her room, her kunai placed firmly in her hand. She let out a heat of chakra through her palm she positioned herself in a defensive stance. As the pulse of the intruders chakra began to near she couldn't help but clench the kunai tighter in anticipation.

That's when the intruders entered quietly. Her jaw quickly tightened to keep the scream in her throat from coming out, then she blinked rapidly, not allowing herself to tremble as the figures moved into the moonlight of her bedroom.

With new resolve she contemplated her decisions for action. There are mostly civilizes in the building that she lived in, which made it extremely important she at least lured the two somewhat near Konaha's outer gates-.

"Sakura Haruno."

The sudden interruption of her thoughts would have made her knees weak. Yet she held her position, her anger easily visible on her façade.

"Itachi Uchiha."

Sakura spat harshly as if just his name was a plague on her tongue.

"And I'm Kisame, can we get this over with… you hold her, I'll break her legs. Ready?" Kisame sneered a shark toothed grin plastered on his mouth.

Sakura didn't pay any attention to Kisame's words as she lugged her weapon towards Itachi's face, it was easily deflected as Sakura jumped through the window that she had opened earlier.

She tugged at her black nightgown and landed professionally onto the ground in front of her apartment building, then looking up to her apartment window, but suddenly paused. Seeing the black figure at her window staring back at her the red clouds of the intruders coat made her bite her mouth hard, not allowing herself to tremble as the figures vanished from the windowsill.

At last she gave out into a full blown run through the night, guided by the full moon. Sakura could still sense their chakra signatures getting close. She knew it was impossible to outrun the Akatsuki but if she could get them far enough from the city until some ninja notices them.

She dashed though the street, but she was soon stopped by the two figures that were chasing her, whom stood right in front of her, crimson eyes pierced the night sky her jade orbs it seemed to her that the world spun into an oblivion.

"Somebody help me!" Sakura cried out, not allowing herself to shed tears. "What the hell do you want from me!" She yelled again. Struggling under the tight rope surrounding her hands which were tied up behind her; as well as her feet intertwined beneath the rope.

It was extremely dark the walls hidden in the void of nothingness, the only thing visible was the lamp which hung above her, flicking on and off. All she noticed was that she was still wearing her black night gown from the nights capture; as well as the weakness the lack of chakra had given her.

That's when slowly the only door in the room opened, she was quickly trembling, terrified. In come a blonde haired man wearing the Akatsuki uniform. As soon as she realized just which missing nin was there she yelled "Where am I!?"

"You know you shouldn't yell to loud little cherry blossom yeah"

"Take one look at my position again and tell me why I shouldn't yell!" She knew it was a bad time to make a sarcastic remark but she couldn't contain herself.

"You'll get everyone mad and we won't take pity on you yeah"

"Your Akatsuki why would I suspect you to take pity on me?" she knew now she was pushing it. He smirked a grin on his face but it was hardly visible considering the dim light source.

"I need some answers now! So tell me what the hell I am doing here!" she could ask him the same question over and over and still he wouldn't give an answer, why would he? He's Akatsuki after all. They were going to let her die in this place, she was scared, it's as if she was pulled into one of her nightmares. He smirked again it didn't reassure her, she knew he was enjoying the pain she was in. All she could do was sit there. But then another shadow appeared at the door.

"Leader-sama wants her fed then to meet the group in the main hall" The man's voice was cold and direct Sakura recognized the chakra signature but couldn't tell who it was.

She blinked a few times to adjust her vision then she saw bright crimson eyes stare then leave the dark room. She noticed Deidara loosening the blood stained ropes from her wrists, yet the markings from them still remained. The blonde haired nin placed a plate in front of her. All she wanted to do was eat, but Sakura felt uncomfortable of the thought of the food being poisoned. Sakura stared at him with dangerous eyes, moving slowly away from the plate he had given her.

"Don't worry I won't let anyone poison you. You should eat yeah."

"And how can I possibly trust someone like you?"

"Because I'm the only one who doesn't want a women like you to starve." he was approaching closer to her, placing his hand under her chin, drawing his mouth closer to her ear. Sakura couldn't move; the soreness in her body felt so heavy and completely empty on chakra. She felt weak; she was always weak; always depending on others to help her. Sitting here kidnapped hopeless, useless.

Now Diedara so near that even his gold like hair began to drape on Sakura's face and neck. He whispered silently and seductively in her ear. "I want to see how my cherry blossom tastes like." Her jade eyes widened as she was rapidly placed on the ground. He was hovered on top of her and she was too weak to do anything about it.

His hands groping hers down tightly, as his mouth quickly covered her neck quickly moving up to her lips. She was scared she didn't want him to continue but he was taking advantage. Thoughts filled her mind: she wanted help she need some one to save her but she understood vary well that one would.

Then his lips meet hers. She wanted to scream so badly but no one would come, his legs wrapped around hers which made her motionless, trapped. That's when the kiss dispelled a hand sat on Deidara shoulders, which shoved him from atop of Sakura to the wall. Sakura looked up Crimson eyes meet her jade.

His gaze was cold, as cold as the dead, she couldn't read him. It was like the man that showed himself during a nightmare, he buried himself deeper and deeper inside himself, showing only this man; a ruthless killer without regret. Uchiha Itachi. But her daze quickly retreated, the Uchiha's eyes left hers to see the blonde ninja lifting himself from the ground.

"Way to ruin the fun yeah." Deidara sneered, brushing of any dust on his coat.

"I hate repeating myself." a glare of annoyance shot from his usually emotionless face

"Fine fine yeah."

Sakura lay still on her back staring at the blinking light above her, as the missing ninjas left. She was lost in her head, she was easily taken advantage of, she felt heavy the plate of food still beside her it seemed cold, there was no choice she had to eat; she needed some kind of strength. Forcing herself to sit up with her aching body trembling, the only light in the room flicking on and off. She looked around the room to find any clues of where she was exactly, there was none just a dark room with a chair, walls, cement flooring, and a door which was obviously locked and guarded. She had a flicker of irritation of he fact that there wasn't even a bed. The only thing she knew is that she was in the Akatsuki base, but why her?

By how her body was she felt it was about two days since she has been unconscious. Sakura stared coldly at the plate beside her; it had rice with bites of chicken. It was obvious that it would be poisoned. "growl" went her stomach.

She held the chop sticks immediately and took a small piece slowly reaching it close to her mouth.

She took a bite,

Feeling the rice run down her throat,

She blinked,

Again the Door flung open,

Again crimson eyes,

She Become extremely tired,

Chop sticks flew from her hand making them echo as they fell on cement,

Now her eyes were closed,

Silence was all that was left…
