Chapter 2: The Kidnapping

*Meanwhile to the Akatsuki team headed to the leaf.*

As they arrived closer and closer to their destination, Kisame had grown irrated pondering on what their mission could be, he pondered and pondered and pondered that he finally couldn't stand himself anymore, he was so frustrated he let out a sudden out burst that startled the birds in the trees. "So, Itachi, what's our mission, I mean do you even know?" He asked impatiently and inquisitivley. Itachi stayed stayed quite for a moment then finally parted his lips, "Our mission is to go to the Leaf village and find and capture a girl named Sakura Haruno, she killed Deidara and Sasori so be cautious. We need her medical skills, she has emerald green eyes and cotton candy pink hair." There was a bit of silence for a moment while Kisame processed everything. "Wait! Do you know her Itachi?" "Yes I do, she was trained by the hokage, and was on my anbu team. She was also my ex-girlfriend." He said plainly allowing no emotion to play on his face. After this Kisame decided it was better to shut up and stay quiet for the rest of the trip.

* 2 hours later*

*Rustle, rustle.* "Hide!. Someone's coming." Itachi whispered to his teammate. Kisame just nodded and obeyed the order he was given. After a few minutes Sakura came out of the bushes. Sensing a powerful and familiar chakra, she froze. Her frozen feature didn't last forever, after bringing brought back to reality she said bravely but still with some crack, "Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki pleasure to meet you, nut come out now I know your here, and if you don't mind I'll be right on my way." She said politely but a deadly venom in her voice layed underneath.

With this demand the two partners appeared in front of her. "My, my, my what do we have here? My little blossom, what's she doing so far from the village?" Bile and hurt rose in Sakura after this comment from the one and only Itachi. Sakura stood there, shocked, with know way to respond. "Ooh, cat got your tongue sweetheart?" Itachi asked with a playful, sinister manner. Sakura could feel it, the rage, hurt, and betrayal, rising in her ready to blow like a volcano. She finally snapped. "HOW COUPD YOU? HOW CPULD YOU LEAVE ME AND STILL ACT LIKE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG? LIKE I'M STILL YOUR POSSESSION? NEWS FLASS, I'M NOT. YOU UAVE NO RIGHT TO CALL ME THAT!!" The two Akatsuki burst out laughing like some person got pie thrown at their face. Itachi replied, "It's quite simple actually." He stated simply although this didn't help the situation right now.

Sakura could feel it, the sinister power rising. Her hair started to change to a lavender instead of a bright bubble gum pink. She had a mask covering her eyes and two metal rods in her hand. "Finally, out again." A cold, bloodthirsty voice rang throughout the forest sending chills down Kisame's spine. Itachi stood their like nothing unusual was happening. "Nice to meet you again, Rider." Itachi said bluntly. "Ahh, Itachi no need for formalities, since you and your fish-face friend are going to be my fist meal." Rider said coldly. "Well Rider, if you and my dear Cherry blossom would comply and come with me you could have all the meal you like." Itach said knowing Rider would comply. Rider sat there and pondered about the possibilities for a minute. "Okay well, I think you got yourself a deal itachi, bye." Rider waved and disapered allowing Sakura to transform back. *Dang it Rider.* She cursed in her head. "Oh well, umm, I'm gonna go now, bye!" Sakura said quickly trying to make a run for it. Itachi although quickly got in her way and stopped her. Sakura got scared and started to back up, until she hit a tree. Itachi quickly grabbed a kunai, and held it to her throat. "Now, now little blossom you can come with us the easy way, or well, the hard way. Your choice." He said smirking. She quickly replied the hard way with a punch in the gut, while getting into a fighting stance. "Well there's my little blossom." Itachi said his smirk growing wider by the second. "I AM NO LONGER YOURS!!" She yelled. Just then Kisame appeared behind her a swung his sword just barley grazing her but enough to take some of her strength.

*Two hours later*

Sakura managed to knock out Kisame, although she and Itachi were still at it. Although this was expected with them being ex-teammates. They were low on chakra and she was on the verge of passing out when Itachi caught her in a genjutsu. She passed out and before hitting the floor Otachi caught her and whispered in her ear, "Got you little cherry, you'll be mine soon just wait." He picked her up, kissed her forehead and carried her to Kisame. He woke him up and they headed back to the hideout package in hand.

*They just got back to base and it's 11:30PM*

Sakura's deadline was getting close and she was still asleep resilient of the things around her. She woke up chained to a wall. She had just enough slack to clean the fogginess out of her eyes. After blinking a few time she realized Itachi sitting in front of her watching her everyone intently. " Rise and shine beautiful." He said. She clenched her fist and tried to punch him although the chains stopped her movement right before the blow was about to be delivered. He pushed her back to the wall and grabbed her chin and tilted it so she could look him in the eyes although she quickly looked away. *Fiesty, just the way I like it, she really has changed alot though.* He turned he head to face him once more, this time she closed her eyes preventing her to look at him. Until he kissed her, her eyes shot wide open. She kicked him in the leg to push him away from her, it didn't work though. Instead he just kept kissing her. Although this time he moved his face to her neck, he was so close she could feel his light breath on her neck sending shivers down her spine. He slowly kissed her neck and went lower and lower. The lower he got the more she tried to suppress the quiet moan rising to her throat. He just got to he collarbone and kissed her sweet spot her knees went wobbly and she let out a quiet moan. He smirked, *I new she would like it.* he thought. He stopped kissing her and said, "Well my sweet little cherry I've got to go ill see you in the morning." He left with a grin on his face, leaving a very puzzled Sakura. It was now 12:50pm and she had missed he deadline but that was the least of her worries.

*Back at the Leaf Village*

*It was 12:50*, Tsunade kept thinking. *Where is she?* The fact Sakura had not reported yet was strange since she was always on time. The puzzle ment kept sweeping over her. Until a frantic, crazy Naruto burst into the room talking so fast it sounded like gibberish. When she finally got him to calm down he explained how the bracelet was lighting up like crazy and Sakura was in trouble. They discussed their plan of action and came to the conclusion that a team of Hinata,Kiba,Shino, the trackers, Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji, the strategist, Lee, Tenten, and Neji, the fighters, and Naruto should all go search for Sakura. Because with all their skills they would find her easily and also because they all grew up together so they were like family. They were to meet up at the gates of Konoha (The Leaf village) and leave no later than six aclock that morning.
