I am so sorry guys!, i didn't realize i didnt post the chapter! I had it uploaded, but not posted. I apologize!

Sakura was in her room trying to read a book unsuccessfully. Her mind had been wandering a lot about her brother. She was worried about if he might be ok, or if he was starving, or at this moment being tortured... She still haven't heard a response from Itachi about her plan and it was been two day already. If he doesn't give her a response by tonight, then she will find a way to get him on her own.

She sighed and stood up. She spent most of her time with her brother Gaara for the past two days. He didn't really speak, but they did try to keep busy, either watching movies, board games, cards, pool. Darts. And even gambled a bit on some of the games. Sasuke joined them half the time, but did let them have their sibling bonding.

She reached the game room where Gaara was playing solitaire with a deck of cards. "Hey bro, watcha doing?" She asked him.

"Occupying myself" He looked up at her "What about you?"

"Well, I tried to read a book, but after unsuccessfully reading a sentence about 10 times I gave up" She told him shrugging her shoulders

He smiled at her "Did you forget how to read?"

She had a smile on her face, "For the time being, yes" She laughed "I couldn't concentrate"

"I have that problem quite often. So, did Itachi get back to you yet?" He asked her

She sighed, "No, he hasn't spoken to me about anything." She contemplated in her mind about whether she should tell her brother about her going after Sasori if Itachi doesn't respond to the kidnappers in time.

"What scheme are you cooking up in that crazy mind of yours?" Gaara asked narrowing his eyes at her even though he was still smiling

"Well,… I- uh-"

"Don't hurt yourself" He joked

She chuckled "Actually, I was thinking about you and me going to got get Sasori back, that's if Itachi doesn't call those men back in time." She looked away from him when she spoke, she didn't want him to respond the way Sasuke responded.

"Does Sasuke know about your plan B Mental scheme?" He asked her

"You're kidding right? Last time he heard of one of my plans, he smacked me upside my head… twice!" She stated and rolled her eyes.

He chuckled "well, maybe you should go talk to Itachi on your way back to your room."

She looked down, but nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah, I need to know what their going to do anyways. Are you coming?" She asked

"No, last time we talked my pent up emotions built up and I snapped at him, I apologized afterwards, but I don't want a repeat of it." He explained

She gasped "You snapped at Itachi?"

"Only in words, Sakura. So relax okay?"

"Alright then, call me if you need me okay?"

He smiled at her "Thank you little sister"

She returned the smile and walked out the game room to make her way to wherever Itachi was at, at the moment. Her first stop was his private study room. Not there. Second was his actual room, Not there. Third was the living room, again… not there. Next was the Kitchen…. Found him eating a small box of Dango. Sweets. Something she never saw Sasuke eating. Of course. She giggled at how much different tastes they have. "I finally found you!"

He tilted his head "You were looking for me?" He said with his one side of his cheek full of dango.

"Yeah, this is the fourth place I tried looking for you at."

He grinned "Well, I just got done eating lunch so im helping myself to a sweet treat for my sweet tooth"

She raised an eyebrow and chuckled. Her face turned semi serious and worried "I wanted to talk to you actually"

"About Sasori?" He guessed correctly

She nodded

"I figured, I've got a plan. It's sort of like your plan, They want you, but they can't have you, and every one agrees to it. So we go and I hire someone who looks similar to you that has more than 5 years of experience in professional fighting (no offence) put a pink wig on and pose as you, once we start the trade she will fight the two people guarding her and My men who will be hiding around the property of our meeting spot will attack and rescue them."

"You really think that will work? What if they search for guards or something before the exchange and find your men?" She asked worriedly

"I figured they scout first, so my men will be there precisely 5 minutes before the exchange."

"When and where is this suppose to be?" She asked

He raised his eyebrow at her. "Why do you want to know? It's not like you will be going."

She frowned, "I would just feel better knowing, if you guys aren't back by an hour after your exchange then I will call the police and send them your way."

"hm, okay then," He smirked at her knowingly. "Its tomorrow we have to be there at 5:00 pm in an abandon warehouse off cypress rd and Anon blvd at the edge of Old town Konoha. They will be there at 4:00 just to make sure we don't have any guards hiding to ambush them, which is why my men will show up minutes before the exchange"

"Okay, if you guys aren't back 1 hour after that meeting then I will call the police!"

He grinned "Sakura, it takes about 45 minutes just to get there"

"Oh, well then, you have 3 hours to get back here before I call the police. Ok?"

"Alright Miss Haruno." He chuckled

"But you know what Itachi? I should go. Not some hired female. They'll know the difference"

"No, they won't. Just trust me okay?" He asked her seriously, putting a hand on her shoulder for comfort.

"Alright, I'm going to go tell Gaara about your little plan okay?"

Itachi nodded and watched Sakura leave the room. He knew she was too stubborn to let this be how it was, and that is what he was counting on. now the pieces fall into place.

*With Sasori*

Sasori was panting heavily. He just lived through his daily torture and beatings. Hopefully those sadistic bastards had their fill of torment satisfied for the rest of the day. He couldn't believe they caught him, and whats worse he couldn't believe they wanted his sister.

Itachi had offered to pay double of what Sasori owed from Deidara's debt, but they didn't want the money. They just wanted her. Just fucking her! He would've been yelling at them again, but that would result in another beating, one which he probably would have even more permanent damage from.

He was pretty sure he would be blind in his left eye for the rest of his life and he probably wouldn't be able to walk properly either, but he had to survive. So for now he will just go along with their rules and bull shit. Plus he had a Migraine from hell that even the devil would cry over.

He huffed and then groaned from the pain in his side

"Shut up! No noises out of you!" One of the guards yelled walking up to Sasori.

"I'm just breathing painfully" He told them sarcastically.

"I said shut up!" The guard back handed Sasori. His face twisted in agony as his migraine got worse

'Stay alive you idiot!' He thought to himself. So his only response to him was to not to respond at all.

He just sat there in a chair, hunched over with his hands tied to the arms of the chair. He felt the pain roll over him again and he bit his lip trying to fight it.

Then a door opened and a tall man walked in. The bastard responsible for Killing Deidara and wanting his sister, Kido. A tall man could obviously get any girl he wanted just by his looks, but this nutcase lowlife would rather kidnap one instead.

He smiled at Sasori, "How's my favorite pet today?" He asked

Sasori didn't say anything, He just looked at the floor not even acknowledging him
"Hey, don't be sad, you get a new owner tomorrow, isn't that nice?" He chuckled putting a hand on Sasori's head

"Sasori shook Kido's hand off his head and looked him straight in the eye. "They won't give her up, you know. They will never giver her up.

Kido glared down at Sasori, tempted to just punch him across in his face. Then he just smiled.

"Not true, A friend of yours, Itachi I believe is his name, agreed to my terms. Everything is all set, and trust me, I always get what I want." He grinned evilly.

Sasori knew Itachi wouldn't give Sakura up, So why does Kido think he's getting her?... Ah! Itachi has a plan! Sasori inwardly smiled. Though he didn't dare to physically show that smile on his face.

Now he just has to play the waiting game for just one more day.

"Another call?" He heard Kido

"Yes sir, but it wasn't from Itachi this time" Said the guard

"Who then?" Kido asked

"The girl. She said she was going to come by herself 10 minutes before the meeting. When I asked her about Itachi, she only said that she doesn't want to have anyone else involved, which is why she wanted to come early." The guard explained

"Heh, she must be excited to save her brother… and meet her new lover" Kido chuckled glancing towards Sasori who was only glaring towards them. Kido smirked and walked towards him again.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her. Trust me, after our first night together, she will never want to leave me." Kido grinned

"She'll never want you. She doesn't take too kindly to people who hurt her family, especially those who kidnap and torture her family. And besides, not only will she never want you, but you'll never have her." Sasori declared

"Hm, the first might be right for a while, but I promise you Sasori, the second isn't. Because I will have her, and nobody will stop me from getting her. Not you, not your friends, not her. I've told you before and now I will tell you again. I ALWAYS get what I want." He stated and walked away.

Fuck! Was all Sasori thought. He was going to make sure that Sakura never ended up in his hands even if it killed him. He already felt so bad that he had to lock Sakura up in Itachi's mansion to protect her from Kido, and all because of something that wasn't her fault. He originally wanted Sasori dead after he Killed Deidara's, so when he went into hiding they planned to take a family member ransom to draw him out, but when he saw the file on Sasori he seen that he had only 2 family members, both of whom were siblings. They would be his weakness. Sasori sighed and the only thing he could do was sit and wait.

*With Kido*

Kido was thinking about his and Itachi's meeting. He knew that there was going to be complications. Nobody in this world would willingly give up a younger female for her older brother, no matter who it was. All he had to do was figure out what Itachi had planned. Then he started thinking about how he first found out about Sakura. When Kido had gotten info on Sasori and his family he knew he was going to win this little war against him.

Sasori could hide, but his family would be the perfect bait for him to come out of hiding. When he had gotten ahold of the two files of the only family Sasori had he smiled. He would make sure Sasori paid back his debt one way or another. He looked at the first file that showed a picture of which was Gaara. A younger brother, the middle child. A loner, only has a few friends.

Next is the younger Sibling. The only sister. He flipped the file cover over and seen a picture of Sakura. He expected to see a red haired woman that resembled the two older brothers, but no. On this picture of the younger sister was a pink haired beauty with mesmerizing green eyes. A beautiful smile. He stared at the picture for a good long minute before he decided. That she will be the payment for Sasori's debt. He wanted her. One way or another he was going to have her.

When he sent the word out to Sasori, he didn't expect to hear from him. Oddly enough he agreed to pay his debt in full, when Kido declined telling him he wanted Sakura instead, Sasori doubled the offer, to which he declined as well, stating that Sakura was the only payment that he would accept. After that phone call he sent his men to retrieve her only to find out that Sasori had hidden both his brother and sister.

A few months passed and his men finally found the pink haired woman. He was thrilled when they found her, until they told him that she was on a date, kissing the man she was with. That only angered him. He sent his men to get her, but they were confronted by Sasori. Sakura got away and they dragged Sasori back to his hideout, after a good beating on him a call was sent out to his friend Itachi. Sasori went through a daily beating and given the bare minimum of food.

Kido was still mad at him for taking away his chance of getting her twice now, but that will change with their next meeting.

*With Sakura*

She was going to make sure that Sasori came home, she wasn't going to risk it on a woman who pretended to be her. She had snuck into Itachi's office room ad searched for the kidnappers number. When she found it she called and arranged a meeting 10 minutes before Itachi was suppose to be there. Long enough to where Itachi wouldn't be able to stop her from going, but short enough to have his men protect her and her brother from her brothers kidnappers.

She only prayed Sasuke would never find out about her plan.

Unknown to her was someone watching her from the shadows of the room. Listening to her call and watching her leave the office. As soon as she left, he stepped out of the shadow and smirked. Itachi knew she was too stubborn to go along with what he said, his real plan had fallen into place once she made that call. He knew she was going to try to get her brother herself, and he needed to protect her and Sasori. So his men were a hide and wait out til they were needed.

Watch without being seen and listen without being heard. Sasuke was going to this meeting too. He was the person in charge of getting Sasori (And sakura although he didn't know it yet) out of there as fast as possible.

Tomorrow was the exchange meeting. This is going to be tough. He thought to himself.
