A/N: I suck at writing fight scenes, so I am REALLY REALLY sorry for the sucky detail, fights are my weak point.

My first Sasuke and Sakura story in quite awhile, ne? Ah oh well. If this chapter does not attract enough reviews, I will delete this story. So review if you like. Constructive reviews would be nice too! PWEASE!

Be my Escape

Turns out fighting some people who posed threats for Konoha was much harder than expected. I never knew I would run into this kind of trouble. This was a simple B ranked mission, supposedly not very strong, but average fighters. Things were not suppose to turn out this way.

Shit…

A pink haired girl sat there, tied up to a tree, tied with very strong chakra stings, made by some person who could change into water and manipulate it at will.

Well this is just peachy. Sakura thought sarcastically. She had been captured because she had some useful information about Akatsuki stored up in her brain.

Sakura looked at her surroundings for the first time since the water jerk tied her up and left her alone to go get his "boss", since water boy could not extract any information from her, he thought his team mate would get the job done much faster.

Sakura looked upwards; the tree she was tied to was quite tall and thick. The branches were very high up also, higher up then the rest of the trees around her branches were. She sighed. How weak did he think she was?

She shimmied up the tree so she was standing, then she snapped the chakra strings after a few tries. She then sat down, watching for water boy's chakra and started to heal herself. While she was doing so, she started to think back to the fight.

Sakura slammed a chakra infused fist down to the ground after running head on at her opponent. She had recently been separated from her team; everyone was fighting some rouge ninja's who posed a threat to Konoha.

All was silent except for Naruto's constant battle cries and Sakura's chakra infused fists and feet slamming down on the earth floor.

Sakura was constantly wondering how Naruto and Sai were doing, if they were hurt and without medical health, or doing just fine and winning their battles.

"Pay attention Pinky!" Water boy yelled to her as wall of water crashed down on her.

Water boy disappeared once again and his chakra was unnoticeable to Sakura. She kept her eyes and ears wide open, trying to find out where he could possibly be. She looked under her to see the boy coming up from under the water. She jumped away just in time and landed on a tree branch way above the water, and man below.

It was quite hard to use her attacks when he was always under the water. Her jade eyes scanned the water below, trying to find him. However, once she found him she realized he was not in the water anymore, but behind her.

She spun on the spot. She saw a sword coming her way. She managed to jump down, one hand still on the branch, just in time, but her cheek was grazed by Zabuza's sword, leaving a trail of blood trickling down her face.

She ignored the new warm blood on her face and jumped down to the water below her. She noticed that water boy was coming at her head on, sword in hand, ready to strike.

Sakura flipped backwards and landed gracefully a few feet away from her opponent. Her pink hair was now matted and soaking wet from all the water attacks being sent her way. She drew out ten kunai, with invisible chakra strings attached to them, she jumped into the air and threw them, holding onto the strings, to move the weapons like Tenten had taught her.

Water boy was smirking at her now as she sent the kunai towards him. He was always grinning, hurt or not. Only one kunai managed to hit him, the rest were hit away, thanks to his large sword.

"Ouch Pinky, that hurt. " He was still grinning, his shark like teeth shinning in the bright sun, it was almost blinding.

Sakura grimaced at her new nickname. He had no right to call her that, as if they knew each other or something. She did not even know his name.

"What? Do you not like the nickname Pinky? It suits you."

"Just shut-up and fight." Sakura growled and launched herself at the water boy.

"Touchy aren't we?" He spoke again, annoying the hell out of her. "Names Suigetsu by the way. What's yours?"

"Like I'd tell you." She spoke after slamming her hand into the water casing a Tsunami like wave, not quite as big though.

"You're quite a brat. I bet my "boss" would like you." He sneered. "You act just like him. He is just much colder, and he is a bastard. The only reason--"

Sakura drowned out the rest of his words by sending a punch at him.

"Pshh, you're impatient." He then began to fight again.

After a few more punches, dodges and kicks there was a blast of fire in the sky.

"That's my queue, sweetie." He spoke again. "But before I go, do you know anything about Akatsuki?"

"Why do you care?" I spat.

"Just because." He said in a teasing voice. He swooshed behind her and hit her pressure point, and just before this happened, she realized, that this was just the way Sasuke left her. However, Sasuke left her on a bench… Suigetsu tied her to a tree, waited for her to wake, and left to find his boss after interrogating her.

Suigetsu walked through the darkening forest. He had left Pinky tied to a tree after she had been interrogated about Akatsuki and things about her and Konoha. However, she had not budged, said nothing, and ignoring some of the questions asked. This frustrated him as he was towards the meeting spot.

When he got there, he saw that everyone was already there before him, obviously not capturing anyone like he had. "What took you so long?! You are such a slow poke." Karin was ranting at him. Suigetsu rolled his eyes.

"I'm late for a good reason this time Karin, so shut-up" Karin was quite now as Sasuke spoke.

"What was more important than this Suigetsu? You know we need to find more information on Akatsuki's new plans and hideouts." He was giving Suigetsu his infamous glare.

Suigetsu looked Sasuke in the eye, unfazed by his cold glare. "I know that." Suigetsu spat. "And that's what I was doing."

Sasuke looked at him with interest. "What did you learn?" He asked, his emotionally mask on still, it was as if he never took it off, never.

"Nothing-"

"Typical." Karin interrupted.

"Karin, shut up." Suigetsu spat at her. "Nothing yet, but I captured the one I was fighting, she put up a good fight, and she knows about Akatsuki. Though I could get nothing out of her about herself or Akatsuki, I knew you could Sasuke.

"She would not budge on anything, not even her name. All I know is that she comes from Konoha because of her head band."

Sasuke nodded. "Where is this captive?"

"I tied her up to a tree a few kilometers back." Suigetsu told him. "Follow me."

Sakura looked at her body fully. She had no wounds left, although she was still rather sore. Though she must have been really into her healing because she failed to notice that Suigetsu's chakra was back, and he was no longer alone.

She could tell at once that one of the chakra masses was very large, and a dark aura was radiating off it. She jumped up, away from where the chakra was coming from, she was about to jump away as fast as she could.

But before she could she felt a hand grasp her arm tightly, the hand was freezing cold, and she automatically flinched away.

"Not so fast Pinky." She heard Suigetsu say, but he was not the one holding her arm. She balled up a fist and was about to punch the person holding her in the gut, but a hand caught her fist and twisted it around so my face was looking at her only thing in her way of escaping.

But she gasped when she turned and saw who was holding her harm.

Sasuke.

"You!" She managed to twist out of his grasp, but red marks were left were his hand had been on her arm. It was going to bruise. She ignored the pain shooting through her arm and looked at the people before her.

There was Sasuke in the middle, and to his left was Suigetsu, next to him was a girl with red hair and glasses. Her clothes made it look like she was trying to impress someone. Obviously Sasuke. The person on Sasuke's right was quite big, he had orange hair and looked calm, he had a small bird on his shoulder, and it looked as if he could understand its chirping in his ear.

Suigetsu was still grinning, but Sakura turned her eyes towards Sasuke's who were looking at her, unblinking.

She glared at him as she backed up.

Suigetsu was the first one to speak. "So you escaped and healed yourself Pinky"

"Your chakra strings were weak." She said glancing at him momentarily before her eyes shifted to Sasuke again. He had grown, and changed clothes. He looked different.

Sasuke spoke for the first time. "Sakura…"

She looked back at him, her emotional mask in place. "Hm."

Everyone was silent.

"Decided to come and get me back did you?" He asked, a smirk tracing his lips.

"Not everything is about you Sasuke." The smirk was now replaced by a glare.

"Then why are you here Sakura?"

"That's no concern of yours Uchiha." She glared at him.

It looked like Sasuke was resisting the urge to come and cut her head off, but his face returned to normal after a few short moments.

"What happened to Sasuke-kun?" He asked. Sakura was surprised at this question; the shock must have showed on her face because Sasuke was smirking at her.

"Sasuke-kun is long gone… dead as far as I know." She responded.

The red haired girl looked like she was silently fuming, a bomb about to go off.

"Relax Karin!" Suigetsu told her.

Sasuke did not take his eyes off Sakura for once second.

"What do you know about Akatsuki Sakura?" He asked.

Sakura had been expecting this.

"Many things." Sakura spoke after thinking for a few moments. "But nothing I'll tell you, water boy, Sasuke stalker, and nature lover."

Karin was about to explode, and Suigetsu was trying to calm her down, meanwhile Nature boy was still as calm as ever, just now looking at Sakura intently.

Sasuke almost smiled, but whipped it off his face as fast as it had come.

"What do you know about Akatsuki?" Sasuke repeated.

"Nothing I'm willing to tell."

"Sakura, tell me right now what you know about Akatsuki."

"Or what? You'll kill me?"

"I may…"

A/N: Chapter end. Hahaha :D
