(I'm a little early here in the U.S but) Merry Christmas Everyone and I've just randomly decided that I wanted to try to make this into a three chapter story only because I was anxious to put this chapter out and if you see errors,I'll fix them along down the line. So Enjoy 'You Should Be Here'

Three long and very antagonizing months had passed by leaving Sakura Uchiha in a small state of worry. These months wouldn't of been so horrible if she had or could maintain contact with him,Every-time she would gain the courage to contact him,her brain would remind her of that day and would simply nag her with those words

If he really loved you,he would be here instead of off on a mission

She knew that the small fight that they had was completely unnecessary but she wouldn't be a Haruno if she didn't fight her own battles whether they were intentionally or by pure accident and to tell the truth,She was actually hurting maybe not physically but spiritually and mentally. It wasn't hurting her to say that she actually missed the man. She knew that Itachi could get on her nerves with the things he did and she could be the same way. Compromise, that was what made their relationship/ this marriage work. Shaking the lingering thoughts out her head,She began to focus on the task at hand, which was having an uncomfortable lunch date with none other than Uchiha Sasuke. The youngest of Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha quickly approached her as she began making her way home,from a very short shift at the hospital. It was clearly evident to see that he was fed up with the way that his sister-in-law was acting and how she would submerge herself in a way that had undoubtedly been passed from her former mentor. So Sasuke,being the man that he was,knew that he had to do something or else risk losing the pink haired medic for good.

"Sakura" Sasuke spoke up gaining the medic's attention

Sakura looked up from her menu to see Sasuke as he stared at her with such an odd look on his face.

"Is there something wrong" Sasuke asked

She shook her head,while debating to whether voice her concerns to her brother-in-law before giving him a simple No.

"Don't lie. I can see that something's troubling you" Sasuke spoke glancing around the small restaurant and somewhat empty restaurant.

"I- Sakura bit the bottom of her lip before continuing-You're brother is having an affair"

Onyx eyes widen slightly as stayed locked on the medic as she turned her attention back towards the menu.

"W-What."

Sakura sighed "I'm not stuttering Sasuke,You're brother is having an affair"

"How do you figure that" Sasuke asked trying to regain his composure.

Sakura shrugged "It's just a fact."

"That's a strong fact to just be sitting on Sakura."Sasuke voiced as he continued to watch her.

"It's a strong theory when you have ample amount of proof to back up it"

"What kind of proof"Sasuke asked

A long sigh escaped through Sakura's lips as she laid the menu down and began to stare Sasuke down"When your brother was home,I had suspicions that Itachi was stepping out on in our marriage."

"That doesn't sound like Itachi."

Sakura shook her head "You're brother is the type to deny a lot of things Sasuke,and sometimes I can't tell whether Itachi is telling the truth. So I trailed him."

"Did you find out anything"

Sakura nodded "He had been meeting up with this woman twice a week at the same time for the last month or so"

"Did she look like someone you knew"

She shook her head "Sasuke I'm a medical ninja,you don't know how many faces I see during my work shifts."

Sasuke had to resist the urge to roll his eyes, "Did she at least seem somewhat familiar" Sasuke asked

Sakura shook her head "I don't know any woman that has dark red hair and dark rimmed glasses"

"Hn. And you didn't think to ask Itachi on what was going on"

"I did,one night while in his office"

"And"

"He told me that it was nothing I should be concerned about and that I should trust him."

"So if he wasn't giving you any answers,Did you try and confront the woman then"

Sakura nodded"I tried but once I managed to track down to some edgy coffee shop,where Itachi and her usually met at, but somehow she must of manged to sense my chakra because when I turned the corner,She was already gone"

"That doesn't necessarily mean that Itachi was cheating Sakura"

She shrugged at him "What you call coming home at two and three o'clock in the morning Sasuke,I know that your father didn't call a clan meeting and I know that it couldn't be anything work related."

"Maybe it could be something else Sakura"

She shrugged "I could really care less at the moment Sasuke,You're brother can do whatever he wants to do I don't wanna be dragged down by whatever games your brother is playing. I have too much on my mind at the moment and it doesn't concern your brother at all."

"Maybe you should of talked to him instead of blowing up like you did Sakura,At least he deserved that"

Sakura scoffed as she turned her attention back to the menu. As the two Uchiha's sat in silence and waited for their server to come, As several minutes passed by,Sakura couldn't help but to get this nauseating feeling in the pit of her stomach. It wasn't a sick feeling, it was as if she could feel like something bad was going to happen and it was going to happen soon. When she looked up from the menu, she figured that Sasuke was feeling the same way because he when he looked up at the medic and his onyx eyes met hers,she could clearly see a frown on his face and it wasn't the one that he would usually wear when he was surrounded by unwanted company or something was irritating him but before Sakura could open up her mouth to ask him what was wrong,two anbu operatives appeared before them dressed in their normal anbu attire minus the cloak.

"Uchiha Sakura and Sasuke"

"What's going on" Sakura asked as she quickly felt her appetite leave her completely.

"You two need to come with us,The Hokage would like to see you"

Sasuke and Sakura both eyed each other before Sakura reached into her pouch and placed the bills onto the table and in a blink of an eye the four ninjas were gone. When they had made it inside of Hokage's tower and inside of Naruto's office. Sasuke and Sakura found Naruto with his back towards the two Uchiha's as he stared out of the window,which looked over the peaceful village.

"You summoned us"

Naruto nodded as he continued to look out of the window, As a medical ninja and the wife of the prodigy child of the Uchiha clan,Sakura was quickly taught from the get go about studying a person's body language. A person's body language could easily tell how a person was feeling at the moment and could allow the next person to anticipate their enemy's next move and judging by the way Naruto's right leg was fidgeting slightly and the straightness of his back something was clearly going wrong either in this village,on a mission or an uprising from one of their many enemies. As Sakura opened her mouth to speak,A small cough from someone else in the room causing both Sasuke and Sakura to divert their attention to them. As Sakura looked away from Naruto's form, She looked to the left of her and found Shisui standing in the right back corner of the room with his head down as if the carpet in the room was simply fascinating.

"Is there something wrong" Sakura asked hoping to get an answer out of either of the two men but didn't. Racking through her brain,Sakura tried to recall a conversation that she had when she was sitting in the nurses lounge one Friday morning. Some nurses were rambling on about tending to shinobi,who were getting ready to head out into the field. Shaking her head of the memory,She turned her attention back towards Shisui and watched as his hands,which where hanging by his side, as they curled into a fist then opened back up then curled back into a fist and repeated that cycle, in what seemed like an irritated manner.

They were all on a mission

"Shisui what's wrong"

Shisui shook his head as he refused to look at her and as if a bulb went off above her head,Emerald eyes narrowed

"Shisui how long have you been back in the village"

"A week"

"Where is he"

"Sak-"Shisui stared before Sakura interrupted him

"Shisui don't play games with me,Where in the hell is Itachi"

"He's been captured"

Both Sakura's and Sasuke's heads whipped up and turned back towards Naruto,who was now facing the three Uchiha's. His face was void of expression as his line of sight stayed trained on Sakura A shaky sight could be heard as Shisui lifted his head up and stared at the former members of Team 7.

"What in the hell do you mean captured,Itachi doesn't just get captured without a reason"

"Saku-

"Or was that the plan to use my husband as bait"Sakura seethed as she took a step towards Naruto,only to have Sasuke reached out to touch the medic before she threw his hand off of her shoulder.

"That wasn't the plan Sakura, trust me" Shisui spoke up causing Sakura to looked back in his direction only to have Shisui to drop his head for a moment before picking it up and staring at the medic as she began to appear red in the face. "Somehow-Shisui continued- they must of caught wind of our plan because one minute we're getting ready to move out to finish the final step of the plan and then the next thing we know we were completely surrounded by cloud ninja's."

"Then what"

"Itachi gave us the order to retreat back to Konoha while he held them off."

"And you listened to him" Sakura snarled

"He is my captain Sakura,I can't disobey an order from my captain"

"For fuck sake,Shisui he's your cousin and the next leader of the Uchiha clan!"

"I know Sakura,I didn't want to leave him but when it comes down to Itachi,you know he would rather have a successful mission even if it meant risking his li-"

"Shut up Shisui" Sakura interrupted as she turned and stalked up to Naruto's desk and slammed her hands upon the desk and the most trained shinobi with the best hearing could hear as the wood cracked slightly under the force,She was placing onto the desk.

"Have they made any demands" Sakura asked

Naruto shook his head as he walked over to his desk and picked up a single sheet of paper. Wasting no time Sakura snatched the paper out of Naruto's hand and read it carefully. Emerald eyes narrowed before looking back at Naruto,who was still staring directly at her.

"They're going to kill him." Sakura asked as she looked up from the paper to her former teammate.

Naruto nodded

"Can't you negotiate with them."

Naruto shook his head before sighing heavily. "I'm sorry Sakura but I can't risk the safety of everyone in this village or given into our enemy's demand for one person."

"Have you forget that Itachi,the same man that you're trying to give up on, has risked his life multiple times trying to save your stupid ass from that damn onslaught from Akatsuki when they tried to extract the nine-tailed beast out of you when he was barely clinging onto both his vision and his life" Sakura almost screamed as she stared into Naruto's eyes.

"And I will forever be indebted to Itachi for that, and as much as Itachi is a good ninja,I'm not willing to take that risk and endanger countless of innocent lives for one man even if he did save my life.

Once that last bit of sentence left Naruto's mouth, he could see the fieriness of her emerald eyes die out only to be replaced with a bit of darkness,as she stared him down where stood. It didn't take a genuineness to know that the medic still hadn't forgave him for that day. Everyone in the room could feel as Sakura began to quickly focused her chakra into her hands before curling her right hand into a fist and slamming in onto Naruto's desk and not only splitting it into half but also sending it several floors down. As two pair of onyx eyes watched the medic,anticipating her next move. As Sakura took another small step towards him,Sasuke quickly stood in-front of the two as his gaze never left Sakura.

"So you're not going to do anything to help him"

Naruto shook his head "I wish I could but I can't do anything without thinking of this village and you know that Sakura."

"Fine" Sakura mumbled before pivoting on the balls of her feet and making her way towards the door.

"Sakura I can't let you step outside of Konoha's gate in the state that you're in"Naruto spoke with such sternness in his voice "I forbid it"

Sakura snorted loudly "Forbid me,What are you my parents"

"No I'm your Hokage, the one that you pledged both your loyalty and your life too and you will abide by my rules"

"Well I know what I need to do then" Sakura muttered as she reached up and untied her hitai-ate from her head and threw it at his chest before falling to his feet"Consider me no longer a part of the Village Hidden in the Leaves then."

"Sakura don't or you're going to make me force my hand"

"And do what Naruto,Put me in the bingo book. I'll be as good as dead once I step inside of Kumogakure so go ahead"

"Sasuke, please try to talk some sense into her"Naruto spoke as he turned his attention towards his childhood rival. Sasuke couldn't help but to look between his former teammates, Sasuke had already made up his mind as he shook his head and untied his own hitai-ate and tossed it along side Sakura's.

"Itachi and Sakura are my family. I won't let anyone hurt then if I can do anything about it"

"Both of you are acting like children,It won't matter,Itachi is scheduled to be executed at midnight. You'll never make it in time."

"Then they'll die along side him" Sakura spoke up as he and Sakura left the Hokage's room,with both of their minds completely made up with absolutely no doubt in their mind. As the two of them stepped onto the streets of Konoha, Sasuke couldn't help but to turn towards the medic,who was already staring at the busy streets of Konoha.

"What if we're too late Sakura" Sasuke asked as Sakura stared off into the distance.

"It's like I said Sasuke. They'll die along side him and I'll follow Itachi to end's of this earth or to either the gates of heaven or hell."

Sasuke nodded "We better get moving then" and again in the blink of an eye,the two Uchiha were gone and heading off towards Sakura's and Itachi's home.

It was nearing ten o'clock that night when Sasuke had made it back to Sakura's and Itachi's home,As he walked passed the threshold of the home and into their living-room,Sasuke found Sakura sitting in the middle of their living-room floor with a black circle surrounding her with several unfamiliar symbols around her.

"Sakura"

Emerald eyes opened up fully and caught Sasuke staring at her with his hands stuck deep into his pockets.

"What did they say" Sakura asked

Sasuke sighed deeply before he relayed the message from his parents "Bring our son back to us"

Sakura couldn't help but to nod as her in-law request. Every since Sakura could remember,She had been told of the story about how the Uchiha clan was known for having the 'Curse of Hatred' but as she go closer and closer to the Uchiha family,thanks to Itachi, She had learned that not only did they supposedly have this curse but they always prided themselves over power but she could easily tell that there was something else that they held in a higher standard over than power and that was family. Even though other clan's had a strong bond with their families,the Uchiha's took this meaning to another level,meaning that the entire clan was ready to go over hell and high water for one of their own.

"Are you ready" Sakura asked as she pulled herself back into the real world and watched as Sasuke nodded at her. Pulling herself off of the floor,Sakura rose to her full height and motioned him to her side,As he stepped over the black circle,Sasuke could feel the immense amount of Sakura's chakra surged around him,Sakura turned slightly to see that Sasuke was getting uncomfortable by the minute as he stayed inside of the circle. She had meant to warn Sasuke about the affects of the seal. Placing a hand upon Sasuke's shoulder and gave it a slight squeeze to reassure him.

"I'm going to warn you now,I know that this can get us inside of the village of Kumogakure but I'm not sure where inside of the village it's going to place us."

"Why aren't you so sure"

Sakura frowned"This is the farthest I've tried to go when using this jutsu"

"Hn"

Sakura tried to muster up a small smile as she began to make the same hand-signs she had etched deep into her brain.

"Sakura"

"Hm"

"Just don't kill me before it's my time"

Sakura nodded "I promise"

Sasuke waited patiently as Sakura finished up the remainder of the hand-signs,he could feel the hairs on the back of his neck as Sakura's chakra began to swirl wildly around them.

"How long til they notice that we're there"

She shrugged "Give or take two minutes"

"Two minutes"

Sakura nodded "Incase you haven't noticed Sasuke but this is a large bit of chakra that I'm pumping out ,so of course we won't have that much time"

Sasuke nodded

"Release" Sakura whispered as she activated the seal,that she had placed upon the center of her forehead when she was still apprenticing under Lady Tsunade. "Sasuke inhaled deeply and hold it"

Sasuke quickly followed Sakura's instruction and in the blink on an eye,the two Uchiha were gone leaving a large trail of chakra that fluctuated around the home.

Break

Sakura exhaled deeply as she collapsed to her knees onto what seemed like a hard and worn stone floor,with Sasuke standing by her side with his sharingan activated. Looking down at the left side of his body,Sasuke quickly noticed that his curse mark had been unintentionally activated and had spread across of his body. Clearing his mind,Sasuke quickly retracted the dangerous curse mark and turned his attention back to Sakura as she sat on the cold hard floor gasping for breath.

"Are you okay"Sasuke asked as he knelt down by her and placing a hand on her back. It took her a moment to respond back to him,which only consist of a nod and a wave of her hand. Sakura had completely forgotten that activating that seal would mess up the rate of her heartbeat and sense of time. She knew there was a reason why she didn't like using it. Taking a moment to collect herself,Sakura looked around and noticed that they were in fact inside of Kumogakure's jail and not somewhere on the edge of the village or in the middle of nowhere. As much as she wanted to celebrate the small accomplishment she knew that they had a mission to fulfill. Rising up to her feet,with the help of Sasuke, She walked over to a wall and inserted a small amount of chakra into her hands and then into the wall.

"Itachi" Sakura whispered as she quickly pinpointed his location

"He is still alive right"Sasuke asked as he took a step towards Sakura.

She nodded"I can barely feel his chakra but yes,He's still alive"

A small smile appeared on Sasuke's lips as he exited the room with Sakura behind him. It took them only a matter of minutes to exactly locate Itachi but nothing could prepare them for what they were going to see. As they stopped in front of the cell that Itachi was in,Both emerald and onyx eyes widen as they fell upon Itachi's body,which was slumped up against the wall with his head hanging down.

"Itachi"Sakura called out as she placed her hands upon the bars and ripped the door right off it hinges and throwing it to the side as the two made it to his side. Sakura wasted no time as she fired up her chakra and began pushing it into the barely breathing Uchiha's body. As Sakura began to work on Itachi,the sound of multiple footsteps could be heard coming into their direction.

"Sasuke I can't move him like this"

"Do what you need to do and I'll hold them off" Sasuke spoke before he ran out of the room towards the approaching footsteps.''Giving her full attention back to Itachi,Sakura began to pour more and more chakra into his system.

"Please Itachi hold on" Sakura whispered as she leaned down and placed a kiss upon his heavily sweating forehead.
