The Choice Is Yours3

Chapter 3
Proposal reviled

She felt her body wanting to punch him in his face, so she reached for a kunai and was ready to fire it straight into his left shoulder blade as he walked away. But once she threw it, he dodged it and appeared behind her and held her kunai she threw against her throat. “Hn. I guess you might not want to do this the easy way correct?” he raised an eyebrow and whispered into her left ear sounding amused which made Sakura grow more furious at him. “Maybe, maybe not.” She said trying to keep her anger on the inside and keep it from coming out. “Well then,” Itachi started sounding entertained as he turned Sakura around to face him. Placing both his hands on either shoulder and closing in some distance between them, “How about yes or no…or, I put you unconscious and later I can torment your friends one by one in front of your eyes before I give you a painful slow death eh Sakura-Chan?” He spoke with a grin upon his teenaged face in a persuasive tone.
Her eyes widened as the words escaped the older Uchiha’s lips. She looked down and gave a small laugh. “Well, you certainly make your point clear.” Another small laugh came out then she looked up with a serious face. “But, if I agree to ‘your way’, does that mean I will have to obey your every command like a watch dog of some sort? Itachi-sama I don’t like being told what to do got it. I do what it takes to get power and only obey the ones who can give it to me for a small price. The only reason I want ‘those three’ back is because without them, I can not have more power is that clear?” she gave an informing serious voice tone to him and he took it coldly. He began to laugh a little then calmed himself, taking in a deep breath, he looked straight into Sakura’s eyes and closed all distance again and began speaking in a soft  pleased voice “Then you’ll accept what your desired for.” She closed her eyes wondering what it could he have meant by that. “I’ll leave that decision up to me.” She said coldly as she pushed him off and gave him a smirk. “Let’s go, I don’t want to waste anymore time.” She said turning her head away as itachi picked her up and put her on his back looking at her face he began “your wish is my command.” His words came very close with her skin not long after he began running till he came to a stop.
“Here it is.” He said lightly as he put her down from his back. Giving a bored tired expression toured her he started walking to the small side door dragging Sakura by her left wrist. “I can walk myself.” She spoke as if she was debating. “hn. But I have to make sure ‘our’ little playmate doesn’t try to run away now do we?” his voice as kiddyish as can be. A glare she answered in returned. “Even if I do, you’ll be able to get me again. After all, it was my decision to come here.” She turned her glare into an evil smirk which Itachi quickly returned with his own as he pulled by the shoulders, to his chest and brought his face within breathing distance from his very own. “But,” he began with one arm around both her shoulders and his left hands pointer finger lifting her chin to his face. “Tell me, why would I want to waste my energy and breath when its you who needs your friends back” another smirk appeared on his lips. “Don’t you want them back safely?” not even bothering for her answer he swooped her off her feet into a bridle style carry. This made her blush a little. He walked slowly to the side door, not even looking down at her the whole time. Walking slowly down many many hallways full of many many doors, he finally came to a stop and kicked the closest one to his right foot open.
Stepping into a dark candle lit room with a long narrow table in its center. And the far end of it lay the leader of the akatsuki, hands neatly folded on the table playing with a butter knife. As Itachi entered the room the leader looked up at his figure with the pink haired medic. “Ah. Itachi, what have you brought me to play with this time?” asking curiously with a smirk on his face which gave Sakura a shiver up her spine. She froze once she heard him say ‘play with this time’. Knowing who he was and what he was capable of she grunted in response. Letting her out of his grip to her feet Itachi stepped toured the other akatsuki members in the back of the room to join them in a cup of sake. “What was that Sakura-sama?” he asked moving closer to her. Once in front of her, he examined her chakra. “What is it you or whoever desires?” she asked impatiently, rolling her eyes away from him to one of the lit candles on the main table. Grabbing her face with his left hand and pulling her gaze back to his, and meeting his eyes, “You have great talents. We don’t want you to waste them. Tell me what is it ‘you’ desire.” His words shocked her. ‘what is it he wants from me?” she thought to herself as he thought something different, ‘this girl, I can’t tell her emotions. It seems she hides them as well as Itachi can. But what I can tell is she came here for power and not for her friends.’ Thoughts filled both their heads until Sakura broke the silence between them,
“…more….” She began a little shaky in her voice. “More what?” he asked with a grin knowing what it was she was trying to say. A straight voice this time with no fear in her blood at all she looked the leader straight in his eyes. “I. Want. More. Power.” She finished with her own smirk. “Is that so?” talking sarcastically in her direction letting his grip off her face as he took several steps backward. “Well Then, Sakura-sama, I wish you…”
