Two Days Later
It was early that morning when Itachi had ventured deep into the dense forest,heading towards their meeting space. He knew that Sakura would start getting suspicious on why he was leaving at all hours of the night and then returning just before she had began to wake up or after. Stopping he watched as she jumped out of a nearby tree and landing in-front of him.
"How is he" Itachi asked looking up at the woman.
"He's fine at the moment"
Itachi nodded
Konan frowned and nodded "He's too stubborn to die"
Itachi sighed inwardly knowing that they would have to get down to business soon "Is everything ready for phase two"
Konan nodded "Just waiting on you"
"Then prepare to leave at midnight"
Konan nodded again as she turned to leave then she stopped "He's still requesting for your answer"
Itachi remained silent before looking up at the sky "Tell him that I'll accept his request. I'll join Akatsuki"
Konan nodded before she disappeared into a wave of paper butterflies,leaving Itachi to his thoughts
Sakura's eyes fluttered opened as a rather rough cough passed through her lips. Slowly getting up Sakura sat up on the bed,inhaled and exhaled as she listened to the slight rattle in her breathing.
"Ita- she perused her lips before remembering that he had disappeared a couple of days ago and haven't came home since. He had been doing that quite often once they arrived here. She knew that he did it when they were back in Konoha and she had absolutely no idea what he was doing. Getting out of bed,she quickly showered and began her day. Green eyes caught sight of onyx hair before it disappeared around the corner, as she exited out of their bedroom. Judging by the height,She knew it was Sasuke before she followed after him. Walking into the kitchen she watched as Sasuke roamed around the kitchen.
"What are you doing" Sakura asked as she noticed several ingredients on the kitchen island.
"Dinner" Sasuke muttered before looking back in the cabinets.
'Dinner' Sakura thought as she looked at Sasuke, she then looked out a window and noticing that the sun was beginning to set. "How long have I been sleep"
"For a while,I figured you were too tired"
Closing her eyes Sakura let out a low groan. She had been doing that for a couple of days now, Something in the back of her mind was telling her that she shouldn't be that tired while only in her second trimester.
"One of Kakashi's mutts came by here with a message"
Green eyes snapped open "What was it"
"I don't even know how he even knew we were here"
"He and Tsunade-sama, along with your parents are the only ones who knew about this place" Sakura spoke taking a seat at the dining table. "What did he say"
"He said that the Hokage has been moved to undisclosed location with Shizune and Jiraiya"
Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. "At least she's safe"
Sasuke nodded "I don't know for long though,Kakashi also said something about Konoha and Sound in the process of making a treaty."
Sakura could only stare
"And that's not the worst thing,Kakashi said that they have named a primary suspect in the Uchiha massacre"
Sakura looked at Sasuke with a Don't tell me face
Sasuke nodded "Itachi"
"Who named him"
"Danzou"
Sakura opened her mouth and then closed it
"What is it"Sasuke asked turning back towards her
"There is no way that they could believe that Itachi was the mastermind about this, Itachi had to do something to make Danzou accuse him of a crime that he didn't commit"
"How do you figure that"
Sakura shrugged "Itachi doesn't provoke someone without a good reason"
The two stayed silent for a while until a rough cough passed through Sakura's lips. Covering her mouth she coughed again and when she pulled her hand back she stared at the blood in her hand.
"Sakura are you okay"
Sakura exhaled softly as she felt small pinches in her chest. "I think I may need get to a hospital"
Onyx eyes widened "How far is the nearest hospital"
"Maybe ten miles away"
Sasuke quickly walked over to her "Do I need to get Itachi"
Sakura shook her head "It'll be pointless trying to find your brother,Let's just go" She spoke as she got up from the chair. After collecting his weapons pouch they left the house.
Sasuke and Sakura arrived back at the house a little after ten o' clock that night after Sakura had told the doctors,over and over again that she could monitor herself in the comfort of her home and after a catching that deadly Uchiha stare from Sasuke,they quickly discharged with the right prescribed medicine. Walking into the home,Sasuke quickly bid Sakura goodnight before he turned in for the night. Just as she was taking off her sandals she noticed another of shoes at the doorway. Itachi's. Moving a little quicker,she walked into their bedroom where it was deathly quiet. Sighing softly she placed the medicine on the dresser before closing the door. She walked into their bathroom and began running her bath water. As the bathtub began to become full and a little steam occupied the room,Sakura quickly discarded her clothes before stepping into the tub. A soft sigh escaped through her lips as her muscles began to relax. When she emerged out of the bathroom clad in only a towel,she frozen slightly as green eyes met onyx.'
"Where have you been Itachi" Sakura asked
The stoic Uchiha remained quieted as he stared at her.
"Are you hurt Itachi" She asked as she stepped closer to him
He shook his head
Just as she was about to walk away from her silent lover,His hand quickly shot up and caught her wrist,again with a slight bit of pressure. Turning back towards her,Itachi quickly removed the towel as a soft gasp passed through her lips. "I-Itachi"
He looked,from her now red face, and then slowly down her body until he stopped on her every expanding belly, Releasing his grip on Sakura's wrist. He brought both hands to cup the place where their child was growing.
"Are you well" He asked looking up at her face.
Sakura nodded
"Good" He spoke as he took his hands off of her stomach and letting her finish getting dressed for the bed.
It was several hours later when Sakura let out a low groan as something pecked her face softly,Mumbling something incoherent she rolled the bed and it wasn't even a minute later when that something poked her face again. Opening her eyes,Sakura blinked once,twice and three times thinking that she was hallucinating. The assailant pecked her nose again. Sitting up abruptly,the crow viciously flapped his wings before settling down again.
"What are you doing here" Sakura muttered as she wiped the sleep from her eyes. The crow cawed loudly as it flew over to the window and pecked at it once. Sakura got out of the bed and walked over to the window. "I don't even know what I'm looking for" She muttered as she looked around, when suddenly she saw Sasuke running into forest at full speed.
"Where are you going" Sakura wondered as she watched Sasuke disappear into the room and it wasn't but minutes later when suddenly there was a loud explosion that rocked the house. Turning slightly Sakura quickly saw that Itachi wasn't in the bed or rather hadn't been in it at all.
"Itachi" She sighed as she quickly put on a pair of pants and rushed out of the house. As she entered into the dense forest,Sakura quickly lost Sasuke's trail and the spot of the explosion. Looking up in one of the trees, she quickly spotted the crow watching her carefully.
"Can you find your owner" Sakura called out as the bird looked at her. The bird cawed loudly before it swooped down to her feet. "Not me,Itachi"
The crow cawed loudly before it took flight again,and began to flew through the forest with Sakura hot on it's trail.
'I swear I'll knock the both of them out' as she tried to keep her senses alert as she followed the chakra signature of the crow's. It took her no time to locate both Sasuke and Itachi. She froze at the sight Itachi was standing by the female member of Akatsuki while Sasuke was several meters from them with a kunai knife in his hand.
As she was about her make her presence known,Red eyes looked in her direction before adjusting back to Sasuke.
"Have you been planning this for a while"Sasuke asked watching his only brother "Were we suppose to be collateral like everyone in our clan was"
Itachi remained silent as he stared at Sasuke. Sakura turned her attention back to Sasuke and watched as he was about to attack when Itachi disappeared and then reappeared out of nowhere and stared Sasuke in his eyes. She watched as Itachi said something to Sasuke before he punched Sasuke,dead in stomach. Sasuke fell to his knees and watched as his brother took a couple of back when he slumped down on the ground unmoving,other than his chest rising and falling. Red eyes then cut back towards the place Sakura was watching from. She quickly stepped out from behind the tree and walked into the clearing.
"What is this" Sakura asked as she watched Itachi carefully
"Doing what I need to"
Sakura looked at Itachi up and down until her gaze stopped on his hand. She froze slightly as she noticed his wedding band missing from his finger.
She couldn't help as the tears began forming in her eyes "Now I see your true colors,Itachi" Knowing full well that she was in no position to physically fight Itachi,she would fight him at a game he played so well ."You're dead to me" She seethed as red eyes stared at her coldly and In a blink of an eye both the woman and Itachi were gone, leaving Sakura there alone with an unconscious Sasuke.
It had been almost a week later after Itachi's apparent betrayal and Sakura couldn't figure out what was going on in the head of Itachi,while Sasuke just brushed his brother off like he was dead. Sakura was halfway in lala land when there was a knock at her door. Knowing that no one in the village would dare come near the house after that incident so many years ago. She opened the door to reveal a somewhat smiling Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensi"Sakura spoke as she hugged the man.
Kakashi politely returned the hug"Its good to see that you're in good health" He smiled as Sakura let him into the house.
Sakura nodded "What are you doing way out here" She asked
At that sentence Kakashi's smile quickly fell into a sad frown
"What is it" Sasuke asked walking into the living-room.
"Itachi has officially been entered into the Bingo book as an S- ranked criminal"
Sakura stared with her mouth agape "For what"
"For not only killing the entire Uchiha clan-"
"Which he didn't do" Sakura interjected
"but also the assassination attempt of Danzou and the assassination of Lady Tsunade."
"Assassination of Lady Tsunade" Sakura asked obviously confused "Tsunade-sama is still alive"
Kakashi looked back over Sakura and shook his head "She died yesterday morning"
Sakura collapsed onto the couch staring at him.
"There's no way Itachi could of tried to kill Tsunade,Danzou had to lied" Sasuke spoke almost knocking over a near-by chair.
Kakashi shook his head "There are several people who said they saw Itachi leaving out of her office just moments before she collapsed.
"Let me guess,A woman by the name of Rei was there"
Kakashi looked from Sakura to Sasuke then back at Sakura"How did you know"
"Rei is working with Danzou,I suspect that she might be in Root or something connected to him
"That would be a hard thing to prove. It'll be Danzou's word against those of wanted fugitives"
Sasuke sighed "What about this treaty between Sound and Konoha"
"It's being signed as we speak"
Sakura sighed softly as she ran a hand over her face "This is horrible"
"Where is Itachi" Kakashi asked
Sasuke looked and Sakura,who looked at him then at Kakashi "Itachi has joined Akatsuki"
The medic,reining from the Village Hidden in the Leave had decided to call in for a day. Even after Kakashi had told her and Sasuke all of the things,several months ago, that were happening back in their home village,Sakura was tired of hearing these things and being this far in her pregnancy, Sakura didn't want to add anymore stress,what Itachi had already placed on her, in fear of causing any harm to the child residing in her. She had just gotten settled into the bed when she spoke.
"What do you want" Sakura asked not bothering to look up.
Konan stared at the medic "I'm just here to pass a message"
"What is that"
"Itachi and Pein are making preparations to move on Konoha"
"What does that have to do with me"
"Itachi will need you to accompany him"
Sakura sighed loudly " As you can see,I'm too far along to traveling such distances"
"That's why Shisui and I are here"
Sighing softly Sakura sat up on the bed and stared at the missing-nin in-front of her "In case you haven't heard Shisui is dead,How can he be accompanying you"
There was a low knock on the door before it came open to reveal a some-what smiling Shisui "Sakura,It hurts that you think I was dead"
Sakura stared at Shisui and then at Konan then back at Shisui "You're alive"
"You can't get rid of me that easy" Shisui spoke
Sakura smiled at the him before promptly passing out.
