Ok chapter 3 is good to go and may have a little cute scene so beware! O__o Doom doom doom doom!! Just kidding

Sakura

The next morning, I woke up from a nightmare to a massive headache, in pain, and hungry. I sat up wanting to go downstairs of my apartment and get some aspirin and something to eat, but realized the so called dream I had last night was no where near that. It was just the beginning of my own personal hell.

I stood up and fell right back down holding my stomach. "damn" I cursed and lifted my shirt to see the wound.

It was nasty, it looked like someone had taken three knives and cut my stomach to ribbons. The cuts went from my rib cage all the way down to the line of my skirt. I brought my hand to it and watched as a glow around my hand flickered green and disappeared. Great no chakra, I had gotten myself stuck pretty good this time.

I tried to recall anything from that night but nothing came up. To be honest I couldn't remember a single thing of what happened, or why I was out there in the first place. I put my hand to my forehead and groaned, everything hurt.

"Haruno is going to be problem Itachi and we cant bring her to the leaf now, we have to get to the hidden sand," I heard Kisame and Itachi talking outside. I moved a little closer to the wall where Itachi was sitting on the other side to listen.

"..." Itachi didn't say a word. Kisame sighed

"Itachi, this is becoming too complicated. I say we leave her."

"...we wont leave her just yet." Itachi murmured

And why the hell not!" Kisame was getting pissed. "You cant be serious! She's going to get in the way."

Than we will have to take her to the hidden sand with us."

"Hell no I'm going to babysit a stupid leaf village brat" Kisame shouted

"What I say goes Kisame, deal with it" Itachi said plainly but Kisame backed down without another word. It was kinda funny how Itachi ordered around Kisame like he owned him.

"Haruno if you want to ease drop than you might as well come out here." Itachi said and I jumped. How did he know I was listening? Without anything else to do, I stood up and walked out of the tent holding my stomach in pain. I sat as far from them as my body would let me go which wasn't very far, perhaps 4 feet from where I was. After a moment or so of silence, the pain to died down and Itachi spoke up.

"Your going to come with us to the sand village and after that we will decide weather or not were going to kill you or keep you."

"Keep me?" I shouted. They cant keep me here, no way!

"you will be our medic nin for our journey to the sand village." he said plainly

"You cant do that!" I shouted.

"If you don't want to go you can leave now but I can guarantee you wont get very far. Not with those wounds." He was right. Even if I did send for help it would take days for them to retrieve me. By then I would be dead. I was at an impasse, I had no choice but to go with him. Damnit

I sat there pissed not saying a word. " Its settled than. Haruno will travel with us and heal our wounds until her own heal or we decide to kill her." Kisame grumbled at Itachi's decision but didn't comment.

"Wait Itachi if shes working for us than that means.." Kisame smirked and Itachi finished his sentence

"She is an akatsuki"

oh shit...

Meanwhile

"YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE SHE IS!?" Tsunade's wrath did not head mercy on Naruto and Kakashi. They had just gotten back from there mission, which had failed considering they didn't find sasuke and lost Sakura.

"We were ambushed by Akastuki and separated after an explosion." Naruto began to explain. "one of them was Diedara and he created one of his exploding bird things which separated us from Sakura."

"We tried to search for her but there was no such luck, we decided to come back for reinforcements so we have a better chance of finding her" Kakashi explained.

Tsunade sighed. "Good. You will go on a rescue mission immediately."

Itachi

"Lets go Kisame." I said ready to get moving. I hated staying in the same area for too long.

"umm....I cant move around with these wounds." Sakura spoke up. I looked at her, that was going to be a problem. I walked over and picked her up a little roughly flinging her over my shoulder and onto my back. She let out a grunt of pain.

"What the hell you bastard!? I'm injured, be more gen-!" I jumped off the ground causing her body to fall back a bit and when I landed on a branch causing it to collide with mine. I stopped giving her a moment to catch her breath. It may have hurt her but it shut her up for now.

"That hurt." she muttered

"no shit" Kisame said

"c'mon" I said before jumping to the next branch and the next with Sakura grunting in my ear.

Later that evening

"Hey Itachi, looks like she decided to take a nap." Kisame joked and I looked over my shoulder. Sure enough she was asleep, I guess I couldn't blame her she was injured. Plus she wasn't complaining so it wasn't so bad. We had been running all day non-stop and we were walking now tired, it was almost midnight.

I had to admit it was peaceful, nights like this. Everything was silent and the stars were out. Kisame was quiet for once, which was surprising. Sakura was light on my back and pretty warm. Her arms draped around my neck and her head was on my left shoulder blade.

"Alright we should call it a night I'm tired." Kisame said

"yeah right" I agreed. We set up camp and Kisame fell asleep almost instantly, lazy bastard. Sakura was asleep and the light of the camp fire shined warmly on her. Her pink hair carelessly fell on her face. She was lying on her back one hand rested on her wounded stomach the other by her face. She was beautiful, but why did I think so? This wasn't like me at all.

I moved closer, barely even aware of my own actions, and sat next to her. She was so familiar and as much as I didn't want to admit it, I knew why. She looked like her almost everything. Her short hair only black, beautiful green eyes, tiny physique, and gentle when she wants to be.

I reached down and brushed her hair from her face to look at her. She was cute when she slept, it was odd how a girl could affect me this much. Only one other woman could do this. Why the hell was I thinking of her? I haven't thought of her for almost 5 years and now she and this girl is all I think about.

When I realized that I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing I had gotten very close to her. I jumped back looking at Kisame making sure he was asleep. He was, snoring up a storm. I sighed and looked down at her and noticed that she was snoring too. Not quite like Kisame though it was more like little sighs. There were small and barely audible but they were...cute, feminine.

I traced her jaw with my index finger and followed it up to her lips, they were soft and full. I traced them softly not wanting to wake her and earned a soft sigh causing her lips to part slightly.

"Sakura Haruno." I whispered. I think I could deal with her, for the mean time.

So was it okay? I thought about making it a little more cute but 1: I was afraid of over doing it and 2: I hate rushing things.

Please tell me if I got Itachi and Kisame's personalities down cuz I think I may be off which is sad cuz I spent about 3 hours researching them so I don't do something stupid like make Kisame laugh stupidly.....yea I know I put way too much effort into this fan fic but I wanted to make a good impression ^^

ok almost done with my random banter but thank you all for the review's they were encouraging and helped me a lot.....although I only got like 5........ I love you all! ^^
