Itachi opened his eyes. His vision was blurry. He spotted a dark figure. He tried to look at their face. Before his vision could clear up, so he can see the person's face, the figure pulled him to his feet. He couldn't stand on his own. The person held on to Itachi and they both began to tree hop. Itachi's vision finally cleared up. He looked at the person who he was holding on to. "K-Kisame?" Itachi said, looking at the person's face. "I found you on that tree, passed out," Kisame said. "I saw that pink haired girl take you away but she must of left you on that tree." Itachi looked the other way. "Where are you, Sakura? Why did you leave me on a tree?" He thought. "If you really cared about me you would of-" "I will have to take you to Konan. She'll treat your wounds." Kisame said, breaking into Itachi's thoughts. They stopped on a tree. "You can walk on your own," Kisame said, letting go of Itachi. "You're not a baby." Kisame took off, Itachi followed. "It's either Sakura left me on purpose or something happened to her." Itachi thought.


Sakura opened her eyes. She sat up. She realized that she was in a room. She looked around, wondering where she was. Just then, the bedroom door opened. She looked in the direction where the door was. The person came into the room, carrying a tray. On the tray was a bowl of soup and a mug full of tea. The person placed the tray on a table next to the bed. The person looked at Sakura. "Hello, Sakura-chan." The person said. She recognized the person. "I got you some soup and some tea. Go ahead and eat." Sakura grabbed the tray and placed it on her lap. "T-thanks for the tea and soup, Naruto-kun." She said. "No probelm. Though, I didn't make any of those, atleast, not by myself." He said, smiling. Sakura drank some of the tea. "Grandma Tsunade wants to see you later, you know, to ask you questions on why you were at the Akatsuki and stuff." Naruto said. "What happened to everyone else? You know, the people in your rescue team?" She asked. "Oh them? They are getting their wounds treated. They'll be okay." He headed towards the door. "I would love to stay here, but I have a dating service to run." He waved to her. "Goodbye." He walked out the room. She began to think. "Oh no. I will have to answer some questions. That means I will have to tell her why I followed Itachi to the Akatsuki lair and-" She stopped. She looked down at her soup. "Itachi." She began to eat her soup slowly. "When will I see you again?" She finished her soup and got off her bed. She left the room. She searched the entire place. She realized that she was at Naruto's house. "Atleast he keeps his place clean." She said, opening the door that leads outside. She walked away from his house, now walking on the road.


"There you go. Now, don't try to get yourself hurt again." Konan said. Itachi got on to his feet. He put his shirt back on. "Now that the pink haired girl escaped, we can go kill her, right?" Kisame asked, walking into the room. "Kisame, it's not worth our efforts." Itachi said. "Hey! Atleast I didn't get my ass whooped by a bunch of kids." "Shut up." Itachi glared at Kisame. "Since you were injured, you won't be able to start your mission, until I'm sure your wounds healed." Konan said. "He can do what he wants. He can go on the mission if he wants. You're not our leader." Kisame said. "I may not be the actual leader but did you forget that I'm second in command?" Konan said. Itachi walked out the room, as those two argued. Itachi went into his room and sat on his bed. "Why did you follow me, Sakura?" He thought. "Did you realized what you just done?" He got off his bed and looked out his window, thinking about Sakura, probably.
