Itachi & Sakura

In this fan fiction Sakura is 18 and Itachi 23 give or take. Itachi has come back to the village and has been accepted into it as hokazegs orders. Sasuke is fighting his brother still not accepting him back into their village; let's go back 15 minutes before their fight.

"Lady Tsunade you can't be serious!!" Sasuke said with his fists clenched up and his eyes bright red.

"I am and you will lower your voice" Tsunade commanded with her fingers laced together "Itachi is back and he's staying for good"

"Why! After everything he has done to my family your just letting him back in!"

Lady Tsunade stood slamming her hands on the table "I will not repeat myself again Sasuke Uchiha you will sit down and lower your voice!"

"Yes mam" Sasuke sat at the table with Kakashi sitting in silence.

"I am aware of your brothers actions toward your clan but you still have much to learn" She said with her eyes only focused on Sasuke.

"Learn about what?"

"Lady Tsunade" Kakashi said breaking his silence. He looked at her with cautious eyes. She looked back at him only nodding.

Sasuke saw their little exchange and knew they were hiding something. "What aren't you telling me?"

Just as Lady Tsunade was about to speak Suzune burst through the door. "Lady Tsunade!"Everyone at that point was looking at the door, and sure enough there he was with black eyes and long hair that went past his shoulders it was Itachi.

"Ah little brother it's been a while hasn't it?" Itachi said with a hint of a smirk.

Sasuke's eyes grew and his face expression even angrier "Tsk! Get out" Itachi chuckled "Now is that the way you treat your older brother after so long?"

Sasuke didn't answer he only stared with hatred and concentrated on not breaking the table his fists clenched onto.

"I'll have to teach you a lesson little Sa-su-ke" Itachi purposely stretching his name to taunt him and….it worked.

Leaping from his chair, running at full speed toward Itachi, Sasuke started the hands signs for his chidori "Damn you Itachi!!"

"That's enough!!" Tsunade yelled while Kakashi stopped between Itachi and Sasuke forcing Sasuke to stop his attack. Tsunade spoke "Sasuke if you do not control yourself you and your team will be taken off higher ranked missions"

"You can't do that!!"

"I can and I will but I don't think Naruto will appreciate the news that you were the one who caused his fail at getting higher ranked missions"

Itachi was listening to everything she was saying to his little brother and saw the way his brother calmed at the mention of his teammate.

Sasuke's eyes now saddened and filled with frustration "Yeah I know.."

Tsunade stared at him for a second "Don't forget Sakura how will you think she will react?"

Itachi's eyes flickered up to Tsunade now even more focused. Kakashi noticed the way Itachi flinched at the mention of Sakura. "Hm?"

"Kakashi is there something you wish to say?" Lady Tsunades attention now on Kakashi.

" Yes I and Sasuke have training to do with the others" Forcing his gaze off of Itachi

"Alright then this meeting is over you may go" Everyone in the room "Yes maim!"

"Lady Tsunade if you don't mind may I accompany them training?" Itachi asked with a gentle smile

Kakashi amused at the way Itachi's tone was " We won't mind"

"Speak for yourself sensei" Sasuke now ready to jump out of the window to meet the others.

"Splendid that's a great idea Itachi you may go" Tsunade now eager to gett everyone out of her office.

"Hurry up then stop wasting my time" Sasuke said before he jumped out the window and onto the rooftops Kanoha.

"Forgive the rudeness of Sasuke Lady Tsunade we will be on our way" Kakashi explained before both he and Itachi were gone.

"Finally!! You guys take for-" The blue eyed boy with blonde hair stopped as soon as he notice Itachi. Sasuke placed his hand on the blondes shoulder "Don't worry about it Naruto just drop it I'll tell you later"

Kakashi now ready to start training them "Hey where is-"

"She's not here yet she had some things to take care of at the hospital" Naruto said not removing his eyes from Itachi

"Why are you here?" Naruto's voice now cold as he spoke to Itachi

"I don't answer to the likes of you"

"Why you-"

"Naruto!" Sasuke shook his head at him

"Kakashi is it alright if I train Sasuke I'd like to see how much he's grown"

"Okay I'm interested to see what will happen with a fight between two Uchihas"

Sasuke took his stance while Itachi stood with so effort to defend himself "ready to die Itachi?"

"Are you little brother?"

"Sharingon!!!"

Sasuke ran toward Itachi and swung his fist toward Itachi only for him to doge and come back at Sasuke with a kick in the guts. Sasuke couldn't help but yell out at the pain. Itachi leaned over to Sasuke who was over his knee "Your no match for me".

"I'm not done yet" Sasuke pulled out his kunai and sliced Itachi on his right shoulder.

Meanwhile

"Come in"

An emerald eyed girl with long pink hair walked through the door "You said you wanted to see me after I was done with my shift at the hospital Lady Tsunade?"

"Yes I wanted to know how our new patients from ANBU are doing"

"They are fine my lady they should make a full recovery"

"Good you may go and please tell Sasuke not to do anything reckless for me please" Tsunade eyes serious

"Hm why would he? Did Naruto do something to tick him off?" Sakura was now fully confessed

"No no Sasuke's brother Itachi is back and-" She saw the way the pink haired girl froze when she herd Itachi's name . "Hm Sakura do you know him"Sakura was now starring onto space with worried eyes.

"Sakura haruno!"

Now realizing her name had been repeatedly called "Yes my lady?"

"I asked do you know Itachi." Tsunade worried for Sakura at that point

"No My lady I've just remembered who he is and what he has done to Sasuke that's all" She forced a smile knowing she had lied about what she was thinking.

"Oh well I'm trusting you to keep Sasuke in check you of all people know how his temper can get and if it does I want you to do whatever it takes, we can't let him start trouble with Itachi" The mention of Itachi's name made the hair on Sakura's neck stand up and made her senses more alert.

"Yes mam I'll be on my way now" The emerald eyed girl ran to the window and jump out with grace and onto the rooftops of the village's homes.

"This isn't good"

"Naruto there you are where's Sasuke?" She asked franticly

"He's by Kakashi-sensei what's the rush?" There was no answer to his question just the sound of her running toward their sensei.

"Sensei!!" she yelled as she ran up to him

"Ah there you are Sakura how are you tod-" His question was interrupted by a blast that came from the left of where they stood

All Sakura was concentrated on was finding Sasuke and she did. Sasuke was covered in blood with his feet off the ground and a had around his neck.

"Damn you Itachi" Sasuke's sharingon started to fade away. All Itachi did was smile and moved Sasuke close to him so that he could hear good and clear "Too bad I thought after all this time you actually had grown up…………..littler brother"

"Sasuke!!"

Suddenly it was silent only the sound of birds filled the air. Everyone's attention was one the pink haired girl standing alone in the middle of the grassy field.

"Stay…Stay out of this" Sasuke said barley making out the words. Itachi squeezed his hand making Sasuke yell

"Itachi stop now!!" Sakura stood there with hatred in her eyes

Itachi snapped out of his fighting mode as soon as she called his name "Sakura….." Itachi's sharingon faded away and his eyes widening every second he was looking at her.

"Don't watch her pay attention to the fight!" Sasuke yelled Itachi grew to be annoyed by the tone of his brother's voice and gave Sasuke a final blow to the gut, not killing him but enough to knock him out.

"Kakashi sensei why didn't you do anything?" Sakura now calmed since the fight was over.

"Sasuke wanted to train with his brother so I let him and he needed this. We all know Sasuke and how he gets when he's angry I let him fight because it would calm him a little toward his brother"

"Hey Sakura, Sasuke needs your help!!" Naruto yelled while he was at the side of his fallen teammate and, so she ran over.

"Let me take a look at him………..huh" She let out a breath of relief "He's going to be fine he's just going to have some bruises and scars. Let me treat him real quick "

"Thanks Sakura you're awesome. No thanks to you Itachi" Naruto said a little frustrated.

No one had realized it but Itachi hadn't taken his eyes off Sakura the moment she yelled his name that is except for Kakashi who was now even more entertained but the two of them.

"Nice seeing you again" and with that he disappeared.

"Hmn" Sakura never took her eyes off of Sasuke during Itachi's exchange of words towards her.

"So they do know each other" "Hey Naruto give me a hand I have to take Sasuke home to get some rest" "Alright you coming Sakura-Chan?" Naruto blushing at the site of his pretty teammate

"Sorry Naruto I think I'm going to hang out here for a minute you guys go on ahead" Both Kakashi and, Naruto were off with Sasuke.

"Damn it all!!" The pink haired girl took her fists and forced all her anger and sadness into one huge blow to the ground that caused the ground to split and trees to fall. "Tsk!" Forgetting to put gloves on her hand was dripping blood she raised her hand to her face and whispered "This is nothing compared to what Sasuke had to face………."

AT SAKURA'S HOUSE

Sakura opened the door to her house and locked the door shut but she felt something was different "What are you doing here?" not looking around just walked to the kitchen. A figure moved from out of the shadow of her house

"What I can't visit a friend?"

"What makes you think we were ever friend's I-ta-chi?" not turning around.

"I guess we weren't, we were more like acquaintances"……"You've grown up to be quite beautiful"

Handing him a cup of tea and pressing a finger to his chest "Whatever, I asked you a question ..here?"

"And I said here to visit a friend" Smirking

"Leave!" She was frustrated by this point "Now!"

He just starred at her looking her up and down "You really have grown up"

"Maybe it wouldn't surprise you so much if you hadn't left" taking a seat on the couch across Itachi

"Sakura I left my family, how are you related to that?" His face expression confused

"Do you remember when I was little the same year you left?"

"….."

FLASHBACK

*Knock* *Knock*

"Hm?" Itachi got up and walked to the door *Opens the door* "who are you?"

" I'm…..I'm Haruno Sakura. Sasuke left his jacket at school and I'd thought he'd like it back"

"Oh okay then I'm glad my brother has such nice friends"

"Were not friends but thank you bye!"

PRESENT TIME

"Yeah I remember after that you started coming more often but you never wanted to see Sasuke, why is that?" Looking at Sakura with interested eyes.

"Sasuke was the most popular guy in the academy and the hottest I doubt if he met me back then he wouldn't look at me twice, everyone teased me because my big forehead and I was too embarrassed to see him"

"Then why did you keep coming over?"

"Because of you, you were the only person who didn't tease me you treated me like I was worth something I remember when you came over for dinner my mother got worried because I spent most of my time at the Uchiha's so she invited you over. It still surprises me that Sasuke never knew"

"Well my brother is known for being dense"

"Yeah that much I know" both start to laugh.

"So where's your mom?"

"She died a few weeks after you left for the Akatsuki"

"I'm sor-"

"Don't it doesn't matter it's the past"

"So why aren't you mad at me like Sasuke is? It seems he isn't the only one I hurt"

"Self control now if you don't mind please leave"

"I don't want to"

"Get out of my house!"

"What happened to that self control?"

"I don't know what happened to you when I needed you" Stun from what she blurted out she turned around and, started walking to the other side of the house. Itachi then got up and stopped Sakura by grabbing her wrists.

Not turning around "Let go Itachi" but he didn't he only held on tighter "Why are you running away Sa-ku-ra"

The words chimed in her ear he was too close to her she could smell his sent but she couldn't describe it, it was clam and soothing and it made her want more, it made her want him. He turned her around so he could face her. He moved his free hand to her neck and gently traced the side of her face.

"Itachi w-what are you doing?" She tried to stay calm and not give in to his persuasion

"What's wrong are you feeling alright?" He said in a playfully tone before showing his smirk. He moved his head down to her neck and over to her ear.

"You know what………….. I think we'll see alot more of each other from now on Miss Haruno"

"Is that a threat?" Teasing him.

Chuckles "It's a promise" he kissed her neck and in a matter of seconds he was gone.

With the sudden emptiness of her home and the scent of Itachi gone, she couldn't help but miss him a little. She took the wrist he never let go of and, placed it where he kissed her. "I hate him!! Kissing Me like that I haven't seen him for over 7 years and he does that " Sakura looked at the spot where Itachi stood before left "Lets hope you stay in the village longer then last time Itachi"
