Akasuna no Sakura (COMPLETED)

❤️Chapter 14❤️

Chapter 14:

The explosion left everyone in a daze. Dust refused to settle a heat and groans of frustration filled the beach. No one was seen or could see through the thick smoke and dust. Dei inhaled a thick air of smoke as he rushed through the debris, coughing extremely loud.

Sakura was nowhere to be found.

Deidara knew that opening his mouth was useless so he breathed outwards and closed his mouth. Calling for her when she had sat just feet away from the strongest explosion, was useless. The smoke would enter his lungs faster then he could talk. The smoke only lasted a good thirty seconds.

However while  it distilled, his fears were only confirmed. Sasori held her small, unresponsive body in his hands. She was porcelain looking, her mouth open but her eyes closed right. Sasori was panicking.

"Get Sakura back to the hideout at all costs!" Pein ordered. Deidara's hands fumbled around their beach chair, desperately grabbing for his clay. The toddler was barely breathing, her entire body going into shock.

Sasori gestured for Deidara to hurry, the urgency on his face scared Deidara more than ever. The blonde sprinted over while making hand signs. They were gonna save her life no matter what it took.

The rest of the Akatsuki gathered behind them, turning to face the threat that had dared to hurt a little girl. Itachi glared, his hands raising to brush his hair out of his eyes. Behind them, Deidara had made a magnificently huge clay dragon.  Sasori jumped on top of it, holding her in his arms. He placed Sakura's tiny body on the back of the dragon, looking down at her pale face in horror.

As the bird began to take off, he looked down to try to find out who had dared to hurt her.

Sasuke's red eyes met his, a stoic but cocky look on his face. The other three members of his team had their weapons barred, the red headed girl blushing and standing farther away. Anger on his face was evident as Team Taka waved at the Akatsuki trio. Then they did the most percurlier thing.

Done what they came to do, all three turned around in a row and spirited away.

Itachi launches after them, fully intent on tearing his little brother's team apart limb from limb. Sasori promised himself revenge. To hurt his little girl was hurting him as well. He looked at the panicking face of his partner as they took off, air whipping all around them as they zoomed towards the hideout. Deidara felt worried for the girl.

Sasori studied the bruises and small burns on her body. Her body was slowly bleeding internally, Sasori could tell. A purple swelling on her side occurred. Sasori held her side with a fear evident on his face.

They had to get her back to the base fast.

Itachi growled with anger as he launched himself after his cruel hearted brother. To attack a child as he had done, was no laughing matter. Itachi was in no way home innocent. But he could never cockily hurt such a young toddler with glee.

Itachi could hear the loud screams of fright of the red headed girl. Hidan's scythe came swinging  hard near her head. The entire Akatsuki was following them, sans Deidara and Sasori.

Sasuke smirked as he led his brother and bis entire organization into a trap.

Sakura was barely breathing as Sasori calmly tried to give her CPR. Her face was covered in angry, fiery welts. She had gotten the worst of the explosion. Sneaking an explosive tag into her cake was the worst thing they could have done. Luckily she was still alive. She was tough, something Sasori had counted on.

"Don't worry sweetie." Sasori cooed into her unconscious ear. She was breathing now as he pumped her chest, rubbing her small body. "Your almost home."
