Chapter 2: Lost Precious

Mikoto and the other Akatsuki members watched silently as Itachi tore his once neat room apart. He stomped around the room muttering under his breath as he continued on his path of destruction.

The mattress of the bed was flipped; dressers and desks were taken away from the walls, droors removed from the desks and dressers with all of their contents spilled on the floor. And all the clothes in his closet had been thrown out and pushed around and now lay crumpled on the floor.

"Sakura is gone!" Itachi finally screamed in distress as he gripped his black locks and tore then away from his scalp in a painful looking way. It now made sense. The Akatsuki were just coming up to Itachi's room after their long hours of gaming and talking to go to sleep. The first sign that something was wrong was that Itachi's door was cracked open. Itachi always closed and locked his door with a key that worked for all the bedrooms. And after opening the door fully Itachi seemed to freeze for a second…and then tore his room apart. Apparently he couldn't find his book. They all should've known that would be the case of his distress.

Itachi was an OCD person when it came to things being clean and in the places where they were supposed to be. Only that damn book would make him turn into a little girl crying for her dolly to be found. Itachi even tried fitting under his bed. Seeing him trying to wiggle his way under the bed was comical and creepy at the same time for all of the Akatsuki plus Mikoto who had stayed with all the boys as they were like her adopted sons.

"Itachi-chan I'm sure your book is around here somewhere in your room. Now where did you put it?" Mikoto asked Itachi slowly and enunciated her words like speaking to a child. Except for she only had to do this with Sasuke. Itachi was always calm even as a child. But now, seeing her son on the verge of losing his mind with worry made her realize that he needed to be talked to in this way.

At his mother's comfort Itachi relaxed the tiniest bit. His mother would know what to do. She always did. "I left Sakura on my nightstand," Itachi replied while gulping in air after his little – no extreme – freak out over Sakura. Mikoto began to think since obviously the book wasn't on the nightstand, and definitely no longer in the room. And the only people with the ability to enter Itachi's room were Itachi, Fugaku who was away on business in Suna, herself who had been with all of them the entire evening, and Sasuke, her younger and second son.

"Maybe Sasuke took it since he sees you reading it all the time now." Mikoto offered as a suggestion as she recalled Sasuke looking at the book in fascination on a number of occasions. As soon as Mikoto had finished speaking Itachi bolted down the hallway towards his little brother's room. He slammed his fist on the door multiple times and received no answer so used his key to open the door. But he found no Sasuke or book in the messy 16 year olds room.

"Kaa-san where's Sasuke?"

"He didn't tell me he was leaving," Mikoto responded with worry as to where Sasuke was. Sasuke never left the house without telling her.

"All right looks like we have to go find that idiot," Pein said from behind Itachi as he looked at the worried Mikoto. "Mikoto-san, why don't you stay here while the rest of us go look for Sasuke? And we'll call you if we find him. We'll all go looking for him, right Itachi?"

All turned their gaze to Itachi who was visible shaking and he turned his head robotically towards his mothers and the rest and with a small smile and an evil look in his eyes Itachi responded with, "If he took my book I can't promise he'll be alive, but he's the best clue as to finding Sakura, so yes we'll all look for him now."

With that Itachi stormed past all of them and towards the garage. He jumped onto his sport bike that was black with red clouds with white outlining. The rest of the Akatsuki jumped into a black convertible that they all – somehow – managed to fit into. They all drove around town for an hour before Itachi felt it. The moment they all pulled out of the center of Konoha which is where Sasuke usually was with his friends and south towards the exit out of Konoha Itachi felt something; a pull towards some direction, so he followed that sense. He knew it would lead him to Sakura.

Itachi had led the way as he guided the Akatsuki to a run down library out of pure instinct in their quest to find where Sasuke was and hopefully – in Itachi's opinion – they would find the book with him. Itachi truly could not describe the feeling as he was pulled to the old building. It felt as if someone was leading him there.

They all slowly walked into the abandoned library and past all different kinds of books. When they got to the center of the library they saw Sasuke, and he was giving the book to a creepy looking man. And he was seriously creepy at that.

The man was incredible pale skinned and had inky – greasy – waist length black hair. He had amber eyes with slits in his pupils and purple markings around his eyes making him look more snake than human. And he wore a dark grey cloak around him with a music note on the side. Another man with grey hair and glasses stood behind him.

"Orochimaru-san this is what you wanted, now give me what I wanted. It was a real pain to get that away from my brother, and now I want to make sure that I get what I came for," Sasuke said to the now named creeper.

"Sasuke-kun you shouldn't talk to Orochimaru-sama in such a way. It is very disrespectful to someone as great as him." The grey haired man scolded Sasuke as he were a child and as if Orochimaru were a king. "Orochimaru-sama always follows through with his word, but after he gets what he wants."

"Now, now Kabuto-kun, Sasuke-kun is right that he needs to make sure he gets his end of the deal. But first I have to make sure on a few things. You weren't followed were you Sasuke-kun?" Orochimaru asked as his face got serious.

"No I made sure to take a longer more indirect route as you suggested to me," Sasuke replied calmly.

"Good and you are sure this is the correct book I described to you?"

"Aa."

"Very Good Sasuke-kun you're getting much better, but I'm afraid that I must do something real quick. And in that moment before anybody could blink the grey haired man was behind Sasuke and had knocked him out. "This is just something that I can't reveal to anybody Sasuke-kun. Only Kabuto has my full trust, but here this is what you wanted." Orochimaru threw something onto Sasuke's chest before walking to a table.

Itachi watched in horror as the snake man took the book. "Ah Sakura-chan it's been a long time, and you were in the hands of an Uchiha how nostalgic. But of course you had no way of telling that. But enough talking we must begin." Orochimaru said and lit a candle on the wooden tables.

The Akatsuki had to restrain Itachi from attacking the snake for putting his hands on the book. Not only had the snake touched to book, which is a first class offense to Itachi, be he had also harmed his little brother.

They all watched intently as the creepy man poured different looking crushed herbs and sand like ingredients over the book and around it. His mouth moved quickly and he spoke quietly. Whatever he was saying could not be heard.

This carried on for a minute of five before the snake pulled out a liquid and doused the book with it. Faster and stronger than before, Itachi lurched toward the center of the room for his book, and in the process he ran into the un-sturdy table and knocked it over with the book and everything else on the table with him.

"I though Sasuke said he wasn't followed! We must leave now Kabuto; to the white van!" Orochimaru hollered as he slithered out of the building with his companion right behind him.

Itachi held his book close and wiped away the liquid on the leather binding which thankfully did not touch the pages. "It's okay now Sakura-chan your Itachi-kun is here now. I saved you from the bad, pedophile, snake man," Itachi cooed to book as he hugged it to his chest. "Now for Sasuke's punishment!" Itachi yelled as his eyes gleamed as his blood red orbs looked towards Sasuke with an evil glint in them.

Because of Sasuke's actions he was thrown into the trunk of the car for the car ride back to the mansion and held the book dearly to his chest.

After arriving back at the Uchiha mansion Itachi tied Sasuke to a wooden chair with rope nobody knew he had. This was all just the beginning for Sasuke's torture for giving his beloved Sakura-chan to a pedo-snake.

The screams were eventually muffled by the Akatsuki who took it upon themselves to gag Sasuke. And when if finally – finally – ended Sasuke was roughly picked up and dragged up the stairs, to his room, and thrown and locked into his room.

Itachi who was now content with all this skipped – bloody skipped – to his room with a smirk on his face with Sakura. Itachi fell asleep with the book – 'Sakura-chan' as Itachi called it – gripped tightly to him.

After the whole incident that night the Akatsuki swore that Itachi was the devil in disguise and was currently possessed by something much worse. And Mikoto just smiled at her son. But after a minute of just staring into Itachi's room Mikoto left to go to bed and the other Akatsuki members fell asleep haphazardly around the room, moving their mattresses that Mikoto had pulled out for them around the cleaned room, once again thanks to Mikoto.

Somewhere Else

"Orochimaru-sama what are you going to do? Your jutsu did not have the proper time to take effect and destroy the book. Now the bond in looser than the Uchiha had already made it."

"I know Kabuto-kun and from now on we will have to be very careful. That toad and slug are making there move as well. I can feel it and with this mistake who knows what will happen. But for now we should leave Konoha for a while. It will be better if we re grouped and gather who we can. And as for that Uchiha well eventually something will need to be done with him."
