People Aren't Always What They Seem
Sakura opened her eyes slowly, she rolled over but the other side of the bed was empty.
She sat up and stretched.
Sakura got up and walked down the hallway, barely making any sound.
As she got closer to the kitchen she could hear people talking.
She stopped just around the corner into the kitchen; she angled her head so she could see the people's reflection in the window.
At first she could only see the back of Sasuke, once she saw the second persons reflection she froze.
What is Kai doing here and what is Sasuke doing talking to her!
"So is she suspicious?" Kai asked
Sakura watched as Sasuke began to turn around, once his face was in the window Sakura gasped.
It…It can't be him…he is meant to be…
"Not that I know of," He said and then stopped "Did you hear that?"
Sakura quickly turned and ran back to the bedroom.
If he is here where is Sasuke?
She sat on the bed to make it look like she just woke up.
He walked in.
"Your awake." He said.
Sakura turned around and weakly smiled, she felt sick thinking about the fact that she had kissed him last night and slept in the same bed with him.
"Are you ok?" he suddenly asked.
Sakura looked into his eyes something was wrong with them something she hadn't noticed before.
"Uhh, I am just feeling weaker." Sakura said.
"Well we have to keep moving or else we won't catch Kai." He said.
"I know, I know I just feel…"
I need to get out of here and away from him! I will have to fake it.
Sakura moved a hand up to her forehead and moved back to the bed and sat down.
Sasuke quickly moved over to her and kneeled infront of her looking into her eyes.
"Can you really not move on today?" he asked.
"I…I just need to rest a little longer, we can hold off until tonight can't we?"
"Tonight at the latest." He replied and began to walk out "Rest as much as possible, we leave later tonight."
As soon as he stepped out Sakura let out a large breath she had been holding in.
Thank God, this will give me time to think how I am going to get out of here.
Sakura stayed in the room until lunch, by then she decided to risk coming out.
She cautiously walked down the corridor.
Sasuke was no where to be seen, she walked backed to the bedroom.
This could be my chance to get out of here.
Sakura quickly grabbed all her things and shoved them into a bag.
She looked around the room one last time.
Ok.
She was nervous.
What if he see's me leaving then I am screwed.
She turned around, and froze, her eyes widened.
"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked.
Sasuke walked down the busy street of the village.
His eyes scanned over the street.
"What are you doing back so early?" He heard a voice say behind him.
He turned around to see Suigetsu.
"What?" Sasuke asked confused.
"Your back so early, you only left last night." Suigetsu said.
"What are you talking about? Where did I leave to last night?" Sasuke said
"Umm did you hit your head or get amnesia?" Suigetsu asked.
Sasuke looked at him.
"Ok you obviously aren't following…last night you left with Sakura to go find her sister and Madara, I think it was for some cure or something, she had been stabbed by her sister and it hasn't allowed her to use her ability, now do you remember?" Suigetsu said.
"That wasn't me." Sasuke plainly said.
"If it wasn't you then who was it?" Suigetsu asked
"Do I look like I know?" Sasuke said a little irritated.
Who the hell is roaming around being me?! On top of that Sakura is with them without her ability!
"Which way did they head?" Sasuke asked suddenly.
"Umm kind of in the forest area." Suigetsu estimated.
Sasuke looked down the road.
Looks like I will be seeing who this person is soon.
Sasuke headed down the road and disappeared into the dark forest.
"Where are you going Sakura." He asked again.
"I…I was just gathering my stuff and was coming to find you to tell you that I am feeling better and that we should get moving." Sakura lied.
He considered her for a moment.
"Well that's good I will get my stuff and will meet you outside.
Sasuke walked out of the room and into the kitchen to gather some food.
Sakura walked out to the front of the house.
I can make an escape whilst we are moving through the forest then I will have somewhere to run.
Sasuke walked out of the house closing his bag.
"Alright lets go."
He walked down to the gates.
Even once the sun had set they still moved.
Now that it is getting dark, this may be my chance to get away!
Sakura stared into Sasuke's back, waiting for the perfect moment to drift off.
Then she saw an opening, she quickly jolted to the left and jumped from tree to tree.
"SAKURA!" she heard an angered cry.
Her breathes suddenly became rapid.
Shit! He has figured it out! Now there is no stopping.
Sakura jumped down lower to the ground.
She landed on the ground skidding, scrambling to her feet, she could feel him hot on her trail.
She weaved her way through the trees, her heart beating faster every second.
I have to keep going, or he will catch me and who knows what will happen then.
She heard an angered scream.
"SAKURA I WILL FIND YOU!"
Sasuke moved at a steady pace through the forest, it was dark and the moon's rays lit areas of the forest.
Suddenly he saw a figure flash past him and move down, he followed, the small figure down onto the forest floor.
Then he lost it, but then it flashed infront of him again.
What the…
He lost sight of it again, just as quickly as he lost it, it came back into view this time remaining in his sight long enough for him to recognize who it was.
The short pink hair, the first thing he noticed.
Sakura? Well that means the other…me should be around here.
"SAKURA I WILL FIND YOU!" he heard
He watched as her pace quickened.
She must of figured it out then.
Sasuke quickened his pace to catch her.
He drifted off to her left and increased his speed again.
Sakura ran as fast as she could.
She was scared and she couldn't deny it.
She felt a presence coming from her left, Suddenly a figure stood infront of her ahead.
She skid to a stop, her eyes widening.
She turned to the right for an escape but the same figure stood there too.
He walked closer and closer until he stood in one of the rays of moonlight.
Sakura stepped back a little.
"Get away from me." Sakura said scared.
"I know who you are…who you really are!" Sakura yelled.
He continued to walk closer to her.
"And who is that?" he asked.
Suddenly Sakura heard a low chuckle from behind her.
She spun around and Sasuke slowly walked out of the shadows.
She quickly backed away, forgetting that the other Sasuke stood behind her, she ran into him, he grabbed her upper arms to stop her.
"Who is it? He quietly whispered, he could feel her shaking.
She struggled out of his grip and backed away from him to his right. The one that had held her stood on her left the other her right.
One smirking the other frowning in confusion.
"Who the hell are you?!" Sasuke asked.
The one who had appeared chuckled again and directed his attention towards Sakura.
"Which is which?" he said and disappeared reappearing in different area's in the forest.
Sakura looked between them, he had just confused her he moved with such speed she couldn't remember which was which, then she remembered something.
She walked up to the Sasuke that had last appeared and peeled back the left side of his top…nothing was there, she turned to look at the other Sasuke.
"Show me." She said.
He slowly peeled back the left side of his jacket, Sakura could see a very faint scar.
She looked back at the Sasuke that she stood closest to.
"I know that it is you…Itachi." She said
The smirk dropped off his face, minutes later his disguise let up.
"Hmm well aren't you a smart girl," Itachi said "How did you know?"
"I saw you this morning talking to my sister." Sakura said.
"Ah," He said "Beautiful girl she is."
Kai came into view, next to him, he smiled.
"Kai." Sakura suddenly said.
Kai laughed.
"Naw, poor little Sakura, she has lost her family and now her sister wont listen to her." Kai said in a patronizing voice. "Why should I care about our family since they abandoned me the first chance they got?"
Sasuke hadn't said a word since Itachi had revealed himself.
Sakura turned to look over her shoulder. Sasuke stood there his face unreadable, his eyes fixed on Itachi.
Sakura turned a little towards him.
"Sasuke?"
Itachi took this moment to move towards Sakura, he grabbed by her neck.
He threw Sakura down onto her knees and held a sword to the back of her neck.
Sasuke glared at Itachi.
Itachi bent down to Sakura's ear.
"You will be coming with me Sakura?" Itachi asked
"You wish." She replied
Itachi picked her up and turned her around to face him, he raised his hand and before Sakura could even register what he was doing he hit her across the face.
Her head snapped to the side from the force, her cheek stung, her eyes blurred.
"You will be coming with me whether you like it or not?" he said.
"Screw You!" Sakura said.
Itachi sneered, his hand turned into a fist, but before he could come down on Sakura again, something smashed into him, but he didn't let go bringing Sakura down, as soon as they hit the ground his grip slipped off and Sakura rolled away from them, she stopped herself from rolling and looked at Kai, she quickly got up and ran into her side, Sakura heard Kai's breath being knocked out of her as they hit the ground she got up and looked around, she saw Sasuke quickly walking towards her he wrapped his hand around her upper arm (his hand fitting right around it) and dragged her into the darkness.
After half an hour they stopped.
Sasuke turned to her
"Sakura what the hell were you doing with him?!" Sasuke suddenly asked.
Sakura looked at him shocked.
"So you think that I went with him knowing it was him!?" Sakura asked.
"Well how could you not tell that it was him!? Didn't you suspect something?" Sasuke asked angry now.
"Well I don't know he was ordering your crew around, and he seemed like the same old emotionless bastard you normally are, so no!" Sakura yelled.
Sasuke watched her eyes go electric blue, and saw faint lightning bolts begin to travel between her fingers.
She has gained more power.
"You are pathetic Sakura, you cant defend yourself against your pathetic sister and when it comes to someone impersonating someone you have known for ages, you cant even figure out that they aren't really the person you thought they were, then you expect people to help you out once you are in trouble!" Sasuke pushed.
Sakura stared at him, the anger inside of her boiling, the electricity beginning to show, lightning streaks began to lapse around her body.
"I didn't ask for your help! Why didn't you check that, that brother of your was dead? Hmm your just as pathetic!" Sakura said.
Sasuke froze and looked at her.
"Your going to need all the help you can get Sakura." Sasuke finally said.
Sakura stared at him and suddenly a bolt flashed off from her and landed right next to him, Sasuke jumped out of the way. He ran up to Sakura and shoved her into the tree. She held in a cry, she hurt all over; the poison that Kai put into her was starting to really affect her.
"Control yourself Sakura." He plainly said, he took his arm away from her and she slid down the tree, she sat at the bottom.
"Kai poisoned me with something, at times my powers don't work and then others they are uncontrollable and when I use them they…ahh," Sakura grabbed her stomach. "Basically I can't control how my powers work at the moment and it effects me when it happens."
Sasuke looked at her his face showing no emotion towards her.
"Look I have to go find my sister so…" Sakura said and stood up still holding a hand to her stomach, she winced as she took a step.
"You should rest first, then we will move first thing in the morning." Sasuke said.
"I don't remember you getting an invitation to come." Sakura said harshly
"Like I said you are going to need all the help you can get." Sasuke said.
