I do not own Naruto
~Hey ya'll thanks for the reviews...now its time for Sakura to again reunite with her old Team 7!~
Chapter 11 Team 7
Sakura woke with quickly. She was covered only by her bed sheet. A happy reminder of the night before with...Itachi. At that memory Sakura looked around. Where was he? She thought to herself. She looked over to the crinkled pillow where he slept and saw a note. She opened it carefully and read the contents.
Sakura's heart raced after reading the note.
"They're here."
With that Sakura dressed quickly and raced out of the compound. She could feel familiar chakra signals getting closer. Before she knew it she burst into a clearing only to be confronted by Sasuke.
She stared at him for what seemed like and eternity.
"Well, well, well. Nice to see you again Sakura." Sasuke said with a cool smile. With that Naruto, Sai and Kakashi jumped out of the trees and joined him.
Sakura looked at each member carefully. Analyzing them. She saw how the vein on Sasuke's neck twitched with each pump of his heart.
"It's time to come home now Sakura." Sasuke said slowly, activating his sharingan.
Sakura took a step forward and kept her head low. Before Sasuke and Kakashi could stop him, Naruto leaped forward towards Sakura. All he wanted to do was hug her and make sure she was alright. Within seconds Naruto landed right in front of Sakura. He grabbed her chin gently and lifted her gaze to meet his. Then there was a puff of smoke and where Sakura had stood there was someone larger and who smelled strongly of fish.
"Naruto get out of there now!" Kakashi yelled as he started running toward Kisame.
Before Kisame could land a killing blow onto Naruto he had jumped back and landed near Kakashi.
"How...where...?" Naruto said panting and frantically looking around.
"There!" Sasuke said pointing towards a figure coming out of the trees.
"You have seriously underestimated me boys. I have surpassed my teacher and now you think that I will just go home with all of you?" Sakura said through gritted teeth.
"Yeah maybe at first I didn't want to join Akatsuki." Sakura continued as she walked casually up to her old team. "But I have grown to like them. They respect me and my strength. Something none of YOU ever have!" Sakura yelled and clenched her fists.
"If you think they care about you, you're dead wrong. They are all criminals and won't stop at anything to get what they want." Sasuke said slowly stepping forward. His sharingan was on full blast now but for some reason Sakura wasn't falling for it.
With that last statement eight men jumped to Sakura's side. Kakashi's eyes widened a fraction. He has never seen them all together before. One member walked right up to Sakura and put a protective arm around her waist.
"Itachi." Sasuke said glaring daggers at him.
"Sasuke, my dear brother, Sakura is one of us now and she will be going nowhere." Itachi said pulling Sakura closer to his side.
"You whore." Sasuke said looking back at Sakura, "Now you're sleeping with my brother!? You were supposed to be mine! You were supposed to be my slave and bare my children!" Sasuke yelled as he lunched for Sakura.
Without missing a beat Itachi stepped back as Sakura leaped forward to meet Sasuke head on. She already had a plan forming in her head.
Sasuke saw her coming and thought to himself 'what a fool'. He took out his sword and readied himself for impact. Then she disappeared. Then he felt a presence behind him and before he knew it he was on the ground face in the dirt and a sharp pain in his back where she had stuck a kunai. Not to kill but enough to wound.
She straddled his back side and leaned down and whispered in his ear.
"I will never be yours. I belong to Akatsuki and especially Itachi. If you ever come out here looking for me again, I won't hesitate to kill you where you stand." Sakura said. She then disappeared in the blink of an eye. As did all the other members of the Akatsuki except for Itachi.
He looked straight at Kakashi. He hadn't moved during the scene. He just watched and admired Sakura's fight. She was amazing.
"She did this to protect the Kyuubi vessel. Stay away or we won't hesitate to take him." Itachi said and then disappeared.
Naruto looked up at Kakashi.
"Is that true Sensei? Did she do this to protect me?" Naruto asked feeling like complete shit. He watched the fight and was in complete awe. He had never seen her fight that way.
"Yes Naruto. Now let's get Sasuke back to Tsunade so she can fix him up and we can come up with another way to get her back home." Kakashi said.
~And there it is! I don't think it was that great but clearly there will be another meeting between Sakura and Team 7! ~
