Chapter Eight: What Is There To Trust?

"Hey jerk face. That hurts like hell. How would you like it someone stabbed you millions of times?" Inner Sakura took the sword from Itachi's hands and hit him with it. Itachi's eyes widened as Sakura took over his world.

The jutsu turned off. Sakura was on her stomach and she twitched before lifting her foot up. She began to lift herself up from the ground and stood angrily in front of the stunned Akatsuki members.

Sakura rushed chakra into her foot and kicked the roof. The roof crumpled and the Akatsuki members had to flee so they wouldn't fall into the huge crater.

"Watch your back kunoichi! You'll see us again." Hidan shouted as Sakura huffed in annoyance. The Akatsuki disappeared from her sight.

Sakura walked over to the edge of the roof and looked down at the ground. She fell limply and was caught by strong arms.

A hand swept it self over Sakura's forehead and wiped away some blood that stained her face.

I woke up in a room. Strange enough, I was in fact alive. I could've swoon the beating from the Akatsuki took all of my energy, thus killing me. But boy was I wrong. Seeing as I was a living breathing being.

"Your up." My head snapped to the masculine voice. There sat a guy with hair like Shikamaru, but he had a lower ponytail, also he had bangs on the left side of his head that looked like Sasuke's hair but miniature.

Immediately as I realized he was someone I did not know, I rolled off the bed and took a fighting position. "Who the hell are you and why the hell am I here." I snapped at the stranger.

The man stood from the chair he was sitting in and stepped towards me. I stared into his eyes sending him a message saying that if you come near I and your ass will be kicked.

"I am Idate. You're here for reasons I am not able to tell you." Idate answered before stepped towards me. I kicked out my foot in an attempt to make him fly across the room but he caught my leg and twisted me in the air.

Just so you remember I just woke up from severe injuries, so you could understand how hard it was to move. Thus the reason why when I was twisted in the air I fell onto my back and wasn't able to get up again.

"Consider yourself lucky." I muttered. When Idate came towards me so he could help me up I jumped up and punched him in the face.

Idate fell to the ground. I didn't have any time to rest because in seconds I felt my arms twist around my back. I gasped in pain, you know I have a good tolerance, but my arms were sore from the previous battle. After my arms were rendered useless I was slammed against a wall, another gasp of pain escaped my lips and I felt blood soaking my hair.

"You and your brother are similar in many ways, defiant, stubborn, and weak." A voice I wished to forget for all of eternity whispered in my ear. My eyes widened and I tried to kick my capturer. His legs only wrapped around my waist and locked my limbs in an iron grip.

"Zabuza." I hissed.

Sasuke sat on his very comfortable couch. Every ten seconds you could see his head snapping to the clock and then to the door. He was waiting on the return of Sakura. She said she was going to get pizza, but that was a day ago. The other gang members were out looking for her.

Everyone was searching frantically for the pink haired girl. Everyone except for Sasuke. People thought that Sasuke simply just didn't care. The truth was that Sasuke cared so much he couldn't bear to try to look for her. What if he found her in the dumpster two blocks away? He was so stupid for letting her go out by herself, especially now that all gangs were after them. The Uchiha kept telling himself that if they can't find her, it's his fault.

He should've gone with her. Not only because of the danger other gangs were, but also because how could she carry that many pizza boxes? Naruto himself could eat a whole pie, what did that say about everyone else? The prodigy's line of thought was cut off when the front door slammed open.

Sasuke anxiously snapped his head in that direction, hoping to see a head of pink hair. To his dismay he saw a furious Neji. You could tell he was furious by the dangerous aura emitting from him.

"What wrong?" Sasuke asked with worry. Maybe it had to do with Sakura.

"Tenten has been kidnapped." Neji growled. Sasuke's eyes hardened. What exactly did this mean?

Tenten broke apart from the search party. She was worried, and she knew she would find Sakura faster by herself. Maybe Sakura was feeling down, and went to the park. She was always one of those people to drop everything they're doing and do something completely different.

So the brunette raced to the park. When she arrived her hopes deflated into naïve dreams. Of course Sakura wasn't that stupid to hide in a park for a day.

Tenten was thinking on places Sakura could be, she didn't even realize someone approaching her. Then before she knew it or had any time to react she was hit from behind and blackness took over.

Neji was off in the distance about to confront Tenten's enemy when more people came out and threw Tenten into the back of a pick-up truck.

Don't get the Hyuuga wrong. He would've loved more than anything in the world to kill the guy who dare try to hurt Tenten, but he was a little too late. The men worked extremely fast.

Sasuke stood in front of the remaining members of Hatake. A furious expression played on his and Neji's face. The members had not known of the kidnapping of Tenten yet, so they were only worried about Sakura.

"I gathered everyone here because…" Sasuke started but was cut off by Ino.

"Shouldn't we wait for Tenten to come…?" she asked hesitantly.

"That is why I'm talking to you all. Tenten had been kidnapped. I believe it's connected to the disappearance of Sakura. So if we find one of them, we find them both." Sasuke explained.

Once he said Tenten was kidnapped there were gasps and conversations started. What would happen to their weapons mistress? Was she okay? What about Sakura? Who would do this?

"Do we know who would've wanted to do this?" Shikamaru asked.

Neji answered this question. "I believe that it would be Akatsuki. As many of us would have trouble admitting, Sakura and Tenten are our strongest members. They are the ones who helped us in our huge battle not too long ago. They survived and were left alone to fight Akatsuki. If you think about it, it's only logical if you were planning on destroying a gang, you go against its strongest members."

"If the Akatsuki were planning on destroying us, then there isn't a good chance of the girls still being alive." Naruto whispered, he was in one of those serious modes. Ino choked at those words while Hinata let tears escape her eyes. As for Temari a dangerous aura was emitting from her. If looks could kill, you would be deader than dead.

Kiba and Shikamaru seemed to be thinking in their head. If you looked at Temari you could see she was angered, but compared to Neji and Sasuke it was nothing. They were the definition of angered, infuriated, and inflamed, whatever you want to call it. In simple terms they were pissed. Pissed that someone dare lay a finger on their woman.

Just looking at them you knew, YOU knew there was going to be hell to pay. Just looking at them you could tell that they weren't the type to actually let things go. Seeing how mad they were you could tell they cared deeply for these two young ladies. They cared so much that they would kill to just see them.

"Before we give up hope, you can't pass up the possibility of the Akatsuki holding the girls as hostages." Shikamaru piped in.

"Not to sound negative or anything…but what's the point in that? What do we have that the Akatsuki don't?" Kiba asked.

"It could be so that when we go to save them, they ambush us. But before that they are likely to kill the girls. To get that out of the way, so there isn't much to deal with after they eliminate us." Naruto suggested with a grim expression.

Sasuke and Neji looked at each other. "There is another reason…" Neji murmured.

All of Hatake leaned in so they could hear what Neji and Sasuke were going to say. "They might want Tenten and Sakura…" Neji continued.

Sasuke clenched his fists. "To join them." He snarled.

"But they would never…not that I think they would…would they?" Ino stumbled over her words. She wanted to believe that Tenten and Sakura would never back stab them, but really would they? They have only known Hatake for only some odd days. Was Hatake too hasty to put their lives in the hands of two mysterious girls? Girls that could have secrets that went beyond anything Hatake has ever known.

"Zabuza." Sakura hissed.

A soft chuckle was heard. "Ah you remembered. I feel oh so honored." He whispered in her ear.

"What the hell do you want?" Sakura hissed as she pushed Zabuza off of her and glared at him.

"Well…I'm just waiting for sweet Tenten to come and then I'll explain everything. Until then, I guess you won't know anything." Zabuza smirked as Sakura's eye twitched.

Fire bloomed in Sakura's eyes. "You brought Tenten into this?" she growled as she pointed an accusing finger at Zabuza.

"Why of course, who else?"

"You smelly." Sakura poked harshly at Zabuza's shoulder. "Nasty." Poke. "Evil." "Conniving." Poke. "Jerk!" Sakura pushed Zabuza and he flew back two feet. "What makes you think you can get away with what ever you're planning? When Hatake get their hands on you…you will no pain like no other human being." Sakura hissed through clenched teeth.

"But my dear Sakura…who says they'll be around to find me? Do you think I would actually have such a crucial flaw in my plan?" Zabuza laughed evilly when Sakura's eyes flashed and realization crossed her delicate features.

"No…" Sakura whispered.

There are no acknowledgments today. But know that Sasuke still thinks he's a sexy beast. But Sakura just thinks he's a sexy bastard. So review! Maybe ideas will smack me in the face! I hope it doesn't leave a bruise! Eek!
