Itachi's Promise: Chapter Twenty-Seven
"Bastard, why in the hell am I here?" Sakura asked, shoving Itachi into the wall when they where alone.
"Leader aka Pein wants you to join the Akatsuki," Itachi answered, letting Sakura hold his shoulders to the wall and think she was in control when she really was.
"Why me?" Sakura questioned.
"Your heritage, I think," Itachi answered, dodging a punch that Sakura had aimed at his head.
"You think," Sakura said.
"You trying to kill me?" Itachi asked, looking at the fist that was implanted in the wall beside his head.
"Maybe," Sakura whispered, stepping back away from Itachi and looking at him.
"Great," Itachi mumbled, as if Sakura had been serious.
"Loosen up," Sakura ordered.
"I can't, you are in danger here. I promised to protect you and you being here is the exact opposite," Itachi said, stepping from the wall and looking at Sakura.
"Itachi, have you seen Sakura?" Kisame asked from the other side of Itachi's door.
"Yeah, she's with me," Itachi answered.
"Oh, the poor girl. Don't fuck her too much, with your tiny Uchiha penis," Hidan joked, Itachi guided Sakura to the bed and tossed a blanket at her.
Sakura wrapped the blanket around herself and laid down on the bed facing the wall, it was then the door opened and Hidan stepped into the room with Kisame standing in the doorway.
"Hidan out," Itachi ordered, sitting down on the edge of his bed and pulling the blanket higher on Sakura's shoulder.
"Come on, Itachi," Hidan complained.
"I will remind you once again that I'm stronger and I won't hesitate to kill you, if you once again get in my way," Itachi warned.
Without another word Hidan left the room and Itachi glared at Kisame.
"I know you want me to leave too," Kisame said, stepping from the room and closing the door.
"Itachi, I can't stay in here forever. I need to return home, I need to get out of here," Sakura told Itachi.
"Sakura, I can't let you," Itachi told Sakura.
"Why not?" Sakura shouted.
"Pein will kill everyone you love and still force you to serve him," Itachi answered, Sakura looked up at Itachi and threw a kunai angrily at Itachi.
Itachi let the kunai embed in his shoulder and looked at Sakura, he knew how angry she was. He had felt somewhat similar when he had first joined the Akatsuki. Itachi reached across his body, his fingers sliding around the kunai and he pulled it from his body. Itachi hunched over, pushing his fingers into the wound on his shoulder. Sakura watched as the blood ran through his fingers and it fell down Itachi's chest. Sakura growled and reached out, healing the wound.
"Sorry," Sakura whispered, her anger suddenly gone as she saw Itachi's blood.
"Sakura, you need to stay here," Itachi told Sakura.
"I will, but only for my friends, family and village," Sakura replied.
"What about me?" Itachi asked, tilting Sakura's head up Itachi waited for her answer.
"You…" Sakura began.
"Don't you want to stay with me?" Itachi asked.
"Of course I do, but I also have other people to protect as well," Sakura answered; Itachi stood up from the bed and turned towards his desk.
"Fine," Itachi said, walking to his desk and taking his seat before beginning to read through some files.
Sakura sat quietly in the bed, before finally she stood from her spot and walked towards the door.
"I will be back later," Sakura told Itachi.
"No, it is dangerous out there. Stay in my room," Itachi ordered, not turning round to face her.
Sakura rolled her eyes and scoffed, before turning the door handle and opening the door. Itachi was immediately in front of Sakura; Sakura drove a kunai through Itachi's clone's heart and stepped from the room. Itachi had still not left his seat at his desk. Not hearing Sakura, Itachi looked over his shoulder to see his door open and Sakura gone.
"Sakura," Itachi growled, standing from his desk and running off after Sakura.
Itachi ran from his room, searching for Sakura's chakra. Itachi found himself in the main living, with Kisame and Leader.
"Kisame, have you seen Sakura?" Itachi asked, looking around the living room quickly before looking again at Kisame.
"No, I haven't seen Sakura. Why?" Kisame asked, Itachi didn't answer just ran out the room.
Somewhere else in the Akatsuki Base
"This is why, you don't mess with girls," Sakura said, as she walked about from Tobi's bruised and beaten body.
"Tobi, sorry," Tobi apologised, barely able to look up at Sakura.
"Thank you, Tobi," Sakura replied, pushing a set of double doors open and walking into the room.
Sakura enter the main training room, she looked around to find it empty. Sakura saw a complete array of weapons, full equipment and training courses. Sakura walked slowly past the weapons; stopping at the last board of weapons Sakura picked an extra long kunai with the Uchiha burned on to the handle and blade, Sakura ran her fingers along the blade. Sakura dropped the kunai as the handle burned her skin; Sakura looked down at her hand and found the Uchiha sign imprinted on the palm.
"Itachi," Sakura whispered, as she dropped to the ground where she was and passed out.
