Attention
Okay hey there my fanfic readers I just wanted to ask if chapter 7 was good or not because I only got 2 reviews and I usually have at least 4 for every chapter which is already kind of disappointing especially with all the changes I'm trying to make to make it better. Also sorry for the long delay I sort of misplaced my book where I draft out the story but I found finished up the chapter and as you can see posted. So have a fun time reading and enjoy U_a_H
Flash Back
I panted harshly as did Kakashi -sensei while battles were fought near us yells, grunts and the sound of weapon against weapon. My chakra was nearly depleted and I could tell that sensei didn't have much left either. I tried to steal a quick look at the brawl with Kisame and it earned me a long gash across my side.
I was lucky that I reacted in time or else it would have been very deep. I needed to immobilize him. I couldn't possibly deal with the flooding of emotions mid combat.
"Shadow clone jutsu" I yelled. I had a plan set forth and I was going to complete it one thing that I noticed throughout the fight was that Kakashi closed his eye that wielded the Sharingan for short time periods to endure using it for so long.
Every time Kakashi rested his eye my bushin and I switched places circling. As soon as he closed his eye again one Sakura was positioned in front and the other behind him.
"Sakura I know the one in front is the clone, I don't need the Sharingan to see that" his voice rang out with confidence.
"Why would you place yourself in danger" he took his kunai and stabbed out at the Sakura facing him. When there was no distinctive poof his eyes widened, they then closed shut after the clone pressed a pressure point on his neck that the real Sakura knew all too much about.
I dismissed my clone as I couldn't possibly keep it up the jutsu anymore.
I felt a disturbing feeling in the pit of my stomach to use the same trick on me, or it could just be the bleeding wound.
After the thud that signaled that Kakashi's body had fell to the branch of the tree. I wrenched the kunai out my gut; the excruciating pain caused me to inhale sharply. Blood oozed out of my open wound quickly. Channeling chakra to my hand, I hovered it over the injury and healed myself with what minimal chakra I had left.
The green light around my hand flickered then faded out. I looked down at the job I had done, it would definitely leave a scar but I'll live. Although I didn't know about everyone else around her but it seemed that Kisame would die of blood loss at this rate, Yamato and Sai of chakra depletion and Itachi's fight with Naruto had already spun out of control enough to have him sprout three tails.
I was scared only for the sake of my new and former comrades but mostly Naruto.
What would happen if all nine tails decide to show their selves .The Kyubii would be in complete control, he wouldn't comeback I would never see those cerulean eyes again.
I saw Itachi glance down at me and I looked back in fear, concern and worry. Surprisingly Itachi called out to me and Kisame while dodging a powerful attack from Naruto.
I locked my eyes onto his but Kisame only gave a sign of acknowledgement as he continued fighting.
"We leave now" I leaned my body against the tree's trunk in exhaustion as Kisame and Itachi both made their way over to me. Minutes later the presence of my team slowly disappeared as we left in a flock of crows.
When we arrived at base covered in injuries I had to swallow a few chakra replenishment pills to heal myself and my teammates.
That night I cried myself to sleep with this thought in my head, how could I ever think that it's okay to befriend these people.

My eyes blinked open and my ears twitched to the sound of knocking. I threw the blanket that covered my body from the cold. I swung my legs over and sat up, I took a glance at the window in my room I could tell that that It was a little past dawn.
A tired sign escaped my lips at this observation I stood up and dragged my feet toward the door with all the intent of screaming bloody murder in the face of whoever was behind it
I swung the door open and came face to face with a very serious looking Deidara, something completely out of the ordinary.
"Hidan is dead" my eyes widened in shock. I dashed back into my room and covered myself in my Akatsuki cloak. Deidara and I then walked in rushed footsteps beside each other.
"Everyone has gathered in the meeting room to discuss this"
"What happened, how did he die?"
"Leaf scum, no offense to you by the way. It was a team along with the jinjuriki and copy-nin. Wanted some sort of vengeance"
The first emotion I felt after hearing those words was worry. Revenge for what? Are Naruto and Kakashi hurt? Which team was it? I wanted answers to my question. Then it was guilt for not feeling as sad as I should.
The air was tense as we walked into the room and the unsettling silence did not help much to ease it. We sat down at the table so the meeting could officially begin.
Pein's voice boomed throughout the room. "As you all can see by the cold empty seat beside Kakazu, that Hidan is in fact dead" the whole reality of the situation really set in after that statement and nii-san did not seem pleased.
"According to Kakazu, Hidan died in mid combat by leaf Shinobi achieving revenge for their fallen sensei" he looked over to Kakazu himself "isn't that right?" I felt sick, who was it that Hidan killed? My eyes wandered over to Sasuke; surely he felt something over this. His face was set in stone not a shred of sadness or remorse; he didn't even bother himself to blink his eyes.
I looked into his eyes, I saw nothing and he must have one hell of a poker face. At least that's what I hoped.
"Yes Pein-sama, I believed it was an Asuma it's hard to recall every crushed bug's name" my hands clenched into fists. Asuma, that's who it was, Why did it have to be him? How would Ino, Shikamaru and Choji cope? Not to mention Kurenai. Weren't they supposed to have a child together? If I was still in Konoha maybe I could have saved him. Guilt swiftly crept up on me like a true Shinobi.
"Considering this unforeseen bump in our plans I've decided to speed up progress" said Pein
"I thought you were supposed to slow down at bumps in the road" Suigetsu whispered.
"Sasuke, Kakazu I want you two to go after the eight tails. At dawn have Sakura give you checkups and take the two redheaded team members with you as well meeting adjourned"

"Alright your fully healed Kakazu, you better start packing now"
"I thank you Sakura"
"You're welcome "I responded I heard the door close shut as he exited. I allowed my body to collapse for the time I had alone. I cried into my hands that shielded my face from the outside world seeing my tears.
I heard the creaking of the door opening and quickly did my best to wipe my face.
"Are you crying" it was a males voice that I could do nothing but recognize.
"Sasuke?"
"I'm here for my checkup" I turned around to face him before responding again.
"I know" he walked up to me and I stared up at him.
"You didn't answer my question" he pressed on further, why did he care?
"Is it about them, about Asuma?" he questioned. As much of a jerk he was, I remembered he was also smart. I lowered my eyes his questions were greeted with silence.
I suddenly felt one of his arms encase my waist while the other pressed my face into his chest. I was going to show him the feel of my knuckles pressed against his cheek again but then he spoke.
"Cry Sakura" my brows furrowed and a frown that was on my face from the time I woke up to now deepen. I buried my face into his clothed chest and sobbed.
Why was he comforting me? This wasn't like the Sasuke I knew at all. Maybe it Itachi in a henge? After what felt like hours, my tears dried up and I released him.
"I'm okay now, why don't you sit down so I can take care of you" he nodded in return, maybe it was payback for the short term silence treatment I gave him earlier, it probably wasn't.

Cuddled into the side of Itachi I laid in his arms hoping everything would turn out right. I have asked a lot of questions today but one I didn't ask was, what was I doing?
There you go I hope you're pleased with what I done I tried my best to make each scene, sentence and word just flow with each other.
Also I just wanted to say that for every person who reviews will get a little sneak peek into a story that I'm working on with crazy drama and that the more reviews I get the more motivated I am to write longer and faster so no more just stopping to fav and follow give me a review it could a small one I don't mind I also open criticism and suggestions with open arms and please let it be criticism not just plain hating thank you love and kisses to all U_a_H.
