Itachi's Promise: Chapter Forty
"Madara, where is she?" Tsunade shouted.
"She is alive," Madara answered.
"Sakura, better be unharmed," Tsunade yelled.
"Unharmed, maybe not," Madara replied.
"Have you hurt her?" Itachi asked, before Tsunade could yell any more.
"Very much, so," Madara replied.
Itachi shook with anger as he watched and listened to Madara telling everyone, proudly at he had hurt Sakura. Before Itachi could move; Tsunade jumped at Madara. Madara dodged Tsunade's attack and appeared behind the two Uchiha brothers.
"Itachi, behind you," Tsunade shouted.
Itachi and Sasuke turned, coming face to face with Madara. Sasuke punched at Madara missing every punch and ending up on the floor, while Madara whispered something to Itachi and then disappeared. Itachi stood still, repeating Madara's words in his head twice before looking up.
"What did he say?" Tsunade asked, landing beside Itachi.
"No matter what we do, we will never find her," Itachi lied, keeping Madara's words to himself.
Uchiha Compound – Leaf Village
Madara sat comfortably in a dining room table, waiting of Itachi to show. The place was dead quiet; no other noises came from anything. Nothing creaked or squeaked, the house had been kept in perfect condition all these years. It was almost two hours until Itachi turned up just outside the compound, Madara sensed as he walked through the buildings towards the one Madara was in. Itachi stepped lightly as he sensed Madara and headed straight towards him; Itachi's sharingan active and his senses on full alert.
"Welcome Itachi," Madara greeted, as Itachi walked through the front door and into the main living room.
"Where is she?" Itachi asked, his emotionless expression stone on his face.
"For me to know and you never find out," Madara answered.
"Stop with the games Madara, I'm not in the mood," Itachi replied.
"What are you going to do about it, kill me?" Madara asked; smirking knowing Itachi couldn't kill him.
Itachi was silent along with Madara; Madara was enjoying toying with the young Uchiha.
"What did you want to tell me?" Itachi asked, looking at Madara and trying to hold in his anger.
"Orochimaru, is alive and Sakura is going to heal him," Madara told Itachi, Itachi dashed at Madara.
Madara jumped from Itachi's reach and grabbed him and slammed him into the ground, Madara dug a knee into Itachi's back and held his arms beside his body.
"Your still so weak," Madara whispered, Itachi lay still beneath Madara wanting to cry.
The one person who could defeat him, had Sakura and hurting her. Madara removed his weight from Itachi and stood up straight again, while Itachi just lay on the floor watching him.
"Accept the fact, you will never see her again," Madara said, disappearing.
Itachi remained laying on the floor, after Madara had left and just began crying. Itachi leaned on to his side and curled up into a ball, of all the things he had done he had known what to do but now he was lost. Itachi had no clue what to do.
Madara's Base
Sakura had remained on the floor, alone with the boy checking on her every hour. Her wounds had stopped bleeding and the physical pain had gone slightly, but the lose she felt inside was still burning. Sakura pulled her legs painfully closer to her chest and waited for something to happen.
"I need to get out of here," Sakura whispered, drifting off into another fitful sleep.
Hours Later (About 8)
"Wake up," Madara ordered, kicking her leg and looking down at her beaten body.
Sakura opened her eyes and looked up Madara, standing over her.
"Ready to heal Orochimaru?" Madara asked.
"Never," Sakura replied, sitting up against the will of her sore body.
"Fine, then let's go another round of torture," Madara told Sakura, Sakura didn't say anything just waited for him to do what he wished.
Sakura screamed as she pulled at the bonds that bind her to wooden bench, a kunai pocking from her stomach and Madara holding another kunai ready to plunge it into Sakura's body. Sakura tried to pull away from the kunai, but she couldn't. Again Sakura screamed, but she with held the tears that should have fallen down her cheeks.
"Your strong, but you will fall," Madara told Sakura.
Sakura lay still on the bench, trying not to move or cause the kunai to move. Madara saw this and pushed the kunai in Sakura's stomach to the side. Sakura grunted, but with stood the pain. Madara smiled and then twisted the kunai in her stomach and pulled it out, Sakura couldn't scream from the pain. Sakura concentrated her chakra on the wound and it was healed, Sakura sighed in relief.
"Heal, Orochimaru," Madara ordered.
"Never," Sakura replied, looking Madara in the eyes.
"Sakura, I'm being nice to you at the moment," Madara told Sakura.
"Then start being mean," Sakura told Madara.
Madara smirked and clapped his hands once, Sakura turned her head as much as she possibly could to try and see who was coming through the door. Sakura could hear someone come through the door, and then she saw them and shook her head in disbelief.
"He is dead, how can he be alive?" Sakura asked.
