Itachi's Promise: Chapter Two
Itachi sat in his bed, no sure how he ended by back in his bed. The last thing he could remember was being in the forest with the three men, the two in black and red cloaks and the one who he followed there. Wait... Sakura. Itachi dashed from his bed and in the room beside his, sitting up in her cot was Sakura. Itachi sighed and shook his head, he crossed the room and reached into the cot picking Sakura from the blankets and resting her against his chest. She was so much smaller than him.
"Sakura, do you remember what happened?" Itachi asked, no really expecting an answer but felt better for asking.
"You better bloody find out," Fugaku said, from the doorway.
Itachi turned to his father and ignored the urge to roll his eyes.
"So where was the heir to the Uchiha clan all night, ha?" Fugaku asked, Itachi looked at his father not even thinking of answering.
Itachi leaned back against the cot and looked down at Sakura as she looked up at him, giving him a small smile. Itachi had to stop himself was letting a smile lose, instead he looked back at the closed window and thought about escaping through it. Now that really would anger his father, he then really would be in for it.
"Itachi, tell me," Fugaku ordered.
"I don't know," Itachi replied, it was true he didn't know where he had been all night.
Other from being with the two men, he didn't have a single clue where he had been. That slightly scared the small Uchiha heir, but he kept it well hidden beneath the layers of emotion barriers he had created, allowing only the small child in his arms to really enter his heart. He had allowed this small child in his arms to enter his heart, when no one else could.
"Itachi, answer me," Fugaku ordered, Itachi shook his head and stood his ground in the centre of the room.
"I would answer you if I knew," Itachi answered, looking up towards his father and hoping he would leave it at that.
Storming from the room, Fugaku grabbed one of the many hall tables and hauled it across the room. To say he was angry would be an understatement; his oldest son had disappeared all night and now was refusing to tell him exactly where he had been. Walking in his office, he tilted his head in surprise to who sat comfortable in his chair. The man's long black hair running over his shoulders, his skin ghostly white and his yellow eyes saying exactly who he was immediately.
"Orochimaru, what are you doing back in the village?" Fugaku asked, closing and looking the door behind him as he walked over to his desk.
"How is the plan going?" Orochimaru asked, smirking across the desk towards the head of the Uchiha clan..
"Good, apart from my son, he went missing last night and won't tell my where he was," Fugaku answered, Orochimaru pursed his lips in anger.
"I think it was the akatsuki," Fugaku said, Orochimaru jumped from the chair, over the desk and pinned Fugaku to the floor.
"Fugaku, why would the Akatsuki be interested in your son?" Orochimaru asked, Fugaku shook his head in unknowing.
Upstairs Itachi tightly hugged the small child in his arms, looking down at her angelic face he smiled and turned to look out the window. Something was wrong, he could feel something, something in his father's office, something evil. Itachi stood in place worried he was going to lose the feeling, but worried what would happen if he went downstairs. Rubbing his thumb over Sakura's bare arm, he paused when someone rested their hand on his shoulder.
"Kid, remember me?" Someone asked, turning round I came face to face with a big red cloud.
Looking up I stared up at the big blue man, a smirk spreading across his face; revealing his shark like teeth. I wanted to ask him something, but choose against it when he put his finger to his lips. Keeping quiet, he looked around the room and then back at me.
"I need to get you out of here," The tall blue man whispered, grabbing Itachi by the arm harshly.
"Let me go," Itachi ordered, trying to pull away from the tall man.
"Shhhh," Kisame ordered, looking down at the young boy.
"Itachi, what's going on up their?" Fugaku yelled up the stairs, Itachi froze and looked towards the door.
"Nothing," Itachi called in return.
"Someone is up there with him," A strange voice told Fugaku, next thing Itachi there was sounds of footsteps on the stairs and the talking voices.
The blue man grabbed hold of Itachi's arm and then in a cloud of thick smoke, the man and Itachi disappeared. They appeared far outside the Hidden Leaf Village, Itachi started coughing and Sakura began to cry to distress. The blue man looked down at the young toddler in Itachi's arms and then rolled his eyes.
"Sakura…cough…calm…down… cough…calm down, Sakura," Itachi said, still coughing from inhaling the smoke.
Immediately Sakura stopped crying and her bright green eyes looked up into Itachi's dark black eyes, the small baby was so interested in Itachi's she couldn't take her eyes away.
"Okay, love birds, let's get moving," The big blue man said, Itachi looked up at the man and glared at him.
"Why should I go with you?" Itachi asked, the blue skinned man appeared behind Itachi and in seconds Itachi's vision faded and he fell to the ground.
