CRIMSON MEMORIES AND BLACK SECRETS
Pairing: UchihaXSakura
Hehe… I haven't decided which Uchiha I would pick to be with Sakura. Hehehe…
This is my first fan fiction ever and it's not really well done and I didn't think too seriously about it but I am really excited about it. I use to only just read them. But I won't expect all of you to be nice to me but I won't accept flames… just constructive criticism... I wrote this because I was curious.
I'm still in the deciding stage whether this will be an ITACHIXSAKURA or SASUKEXSAKURA. If you want, you can help me decide but it does not mean that the pairing most of you will pick will be the official pairing for this fic but your decision will greatly influence mine.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and that's that. Don't rub it into my face, okay…

CRIMSON MEMORIES AND BLACK SECRETS
CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
There was once a secret village hidden from the world. This was once a powerful village. It held many secrets surrounding its power and it was only known by its inhabitants. They all have sworn to keep its secrecy. Even if they held a lot of power, people lived in harmony with each other.
Until, however, it was invaded by an unknown organization with mysterious and probably evil goals.
Fire was spreading burning everything in its path. Blood painted the walls of the houses and the wall that was supposed to keep enemies out. Deafening explosions were heard. Even the moon and the clouds looked menacing as this tragic night continued.
Screams of terror and pain were heard throughout the city as ninjas and civilians alike fall through a forbidden technique and a mysterious blue and silver stone that was shaped like a diamond used by the leader of this organization. The stone was emitting a strange dark power and all were rendered powerless before it. The members of this organization disposed of the inhabitants of the village.
The wails of those who managed to escape before it was too late were heard in different distances. They wept for the loss of their families, friends and lovers. The pain they felt was unbearable as they watched everything that was important to them crumble before their very eyes. Others prayed for their loss.
A man and a woman were running away from the slaughter with their ten year old daughter. They were both covered in blood either their own or from other unfortunate souls. The pink haired child was dying. She was injured when the killings started. Her parents were dying too.
They were both ninjas and powerful ones at that but they weren't any different to their comrades that were hit by the strange power of that stone and probably lying somewhere on the streets of their village probably with blood pouring from them. They had to fight a lot of ninjas that belonged to that cursed organization but they were lucky enough to make it out alive with what little chakra they had and with their daughter too.
They need to perform a technique that will help them accomplish their final wish.
To save their child.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A black haired boy who was ten years of age suddenly rose from his bed. His whole body was sweating. You could tell that he had just experienced a terrible nightmare.
His onyx eyes flashed with anger as he remembered the nightmare he had almost every single night since that night happened.
The Dream
He was shown how he killed them without mercy. He saw how cold he looked as he thrusted his weapons through them. He saw how the blood splattered on the wall and on the ground. Blood was everything he saw. He then saw how he killed their parents.
"Foolish little brother, if you wish to kill me, despise me, hate me and live a loathsome life. Run…run…cling to life and when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me."(the oh so famous speech).
Then the last thing he saw was Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan.
-End of Deam-
When children his age only thought about happy things and playing ninja, Sasuke was already thinking about his the hate he feels towards his brother and his chosen path.
As the avenger of the Uchiha.

"We have to find a place that's safe." said the man with brown hair and forest green eyes. They were running with all that their might.
"I think -pant- we can do it here." said the woman with rosette hair and aquamarine eyes. She was exhausted.
They stopped in an empty clearing. Once they deemed it safe, they began the hand seals. After a few minutes, a blinding bluish white light appeared and then a portal appeared. The inside was black and purple. They gave a necklace to the child. The pendant was a precious stone that looked like the one the leader of that evil organization had only it was in red and silver.
"Don't ever lose it okay, my dear?" the woman said to her child.
"Mom, Dad, what's happening?" the confused child said.
They looked at their beloved daughter and only remained silent.
"That sure wasn't much fun eh," a man said. His name is Kisame Hoshigaki. He had bluish-gray tinted skin and white eyes that clearly wanted blood. His face resembled that of a shark. He was also very tall. These things made him look very intimidating even without his reputation or showing his skills as one of the dangerous members of the Akatsuki in which its symbol he currently wears. "don't you think, Itachi?"
"Hn" was the response of the ebony-haired teen. His Sharingan was on and he gave an intimidating aura that made anyone fear him. He had stress lines that made him look years older than he actually was and he was still very young. He was also wearing the Akatsuki cloak that signifies his membership with the organization.
Kisame carelessly dropped the mangled body of their target on the ground. Itachi didn't want to see it anymore so he turned around and was now prepared to leave.
As the pair silently went through the trees with amazing speed, Kisame noticed that Itachi looked as if he was thinking about something. "What are you thinking about, Itachi?" asked Kisame.
"Hn"
He should've expected that… Kisame remained silent again and just proceeded to keep his pace. That was one of the things that Itachi found pleasant in Kisame. He knows when to mind his own business.
"Leader is calling for us." said Kisame.
"Then let us hurry then." said Itachi in a monotone voice. They increased their already fast pace into an inhumanly faster one.

The portal started to pull the child in. The child was starting to panic. Her parents were crying profusely and almost out of chakra but they need just a little more and it would all be finished. Her father was doing another set of hand seals.
"Sakura, my child, -cough- please have a good life and please be strong." Her mom said. Blood was flowing from her mouth.
"I know you can get through the hardships that will come your way like you will get through this…" tears were flowing as she smiled at her child.
"You always have."
Her father completed the technique and casted it onto their daughter. Only he and his wife knew what for… for now.
"We will always love and protect you." He said and then he tied a glass container on his daughter's small waist. They hugged her for the last time and then let go of her. They looked sad for their daughter, heck, no child deserved this kind of horrible experience. No parent would want their children to experience such carnage at such a young age but what's done is done they can't change anything anymore. All they can do now is to help their daughter escape from this dangerous place.
The portal was sucking her whole body now.
"MOM!!! DAD!!!" she yelled. She was crying continuously. She raised both her arms to reach out to them. She did not understand what was happening.
"Don't leave me alone!!!" more tears flowed from her emerald eyes. Then the last thing she saw was her parents falling to the ground as the portal closed and then all went black.
"Do you -cough- think Sakura would –cough- be alright, Itsuki?" said the mother. Her blood was dripping from mouth and several other wounds
"We've got to believe in her, Misaki." said Itsuki. He coughed out a lot of blood. He was also sporting many wounds.
"We have no other choice…" they stared at each other.
"I love you Misaki… forever…"
"You know I've always had and always will, Itsuki."
They had one final kiss and they held each other. They looked at each and smiled their last. Then one pair of forest green eyes and one pair of aquamarine eyes closed as death slowly embraced them. They knew they will never open again.
'We will always watch over you, our dear Sakura…please be careful..,'
A cloaked figure was standing behind the tree. This mysterious person saw everything that happened here. He went closer to the corpses of Itsuki and Misaki.
'I'm impressed that you still had enough strength in you to save that child… for now' he smirked.
'But will she be safe from me in the future?' he smiled maliciously. He leapt on a tree branch. He threw an explosive tag. It exploded and the fire consumed the corpses leaving nothing but ashes.
'Oh this is going to be interesting.' A dark chuckle was the last thing that was heard…
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This chapter was kind of like a summary of the many things that happened in Sakura's past with some of Itachi and Sasuke's pasts as well. I might even redo this. Though I'm thinking I could elaborate more of this through later chapters. I might decide to make this longer.
Sorry if it was short. I promise that the next chapter will be longer and BETTER than this. I'm just kinda new to all of this. I knew that writing fan fictions can be hard but I didn't knew I would turn blank when I actually started doing it. I would need some time to rethink some other things… I didn't even checked it for mistakes. Sorry if there were any errors you don't like.
I repeat if you want to help me decide between ITASAKU and SASUSAKU then do so BUT it does not I repeat it does not mean that the pairing you voted for the most will be the official pairing for this fic though it would greatly influence my decision. If you don't want to help then I'm not forcing you.
Itsuki means tree.
Misaki means beautiful blossom
Well, anyways please just read and review if you like.^_^
