Cherry Blossom Moon: Wet Mysteries

By Sakura-cherryblossom16

Author Notes: Okay here is the next sequel! Oh and if you all didn't know, I wrote this story because I thought it would be fun and etc. So I am sorry if I really suck at it, I am not good at writing stories if you could tell.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters.

CHAPTER 1: Out With the Old and In With the New

He stepped toward me and I started to get up even though I was in a lot of pain. If this was real wouldn't he still have the same intentions as before no matter what happens to him? "Stop, you are obviously in pain and need to rest since you had a really bad injury. You should be fully healed by tonight though…why do you fear me?" he asked with a puzzled look. I still remained cautious and my voice felt lost, the woman came close to me and put her hand on top of my head and it calmed me in a way.

"I think she needs more time to recover…she must of forgot what happened from last night's shock. That happens to many people in those kinds of incidents, well in most cases. Give her time and I am sure she will come to her senses young sir," she said as I started to relax, but kept my eyes on him the whole time. "Now, why don't I get her something to eat."

I watched her leave as he came closer, I started panicking immediately. He then stopped and stared at me with his obsidian eyes that transfixed me. They looked different than before, the glare that once rested in his eyes was now gone and replaced with tranquility. "Is something wrong?"

I gathered all my courage to respond to this question, I wanted to get to the point quickly. Though I was confused with my emotions right now and I felt like I was going to burst in confusion. So much has happened in so little time and I was angry because of it also. "Wrong, yes something is wrong,! You…you…what are you doing here? Why would you save me now and not before!" I shouted as I looked at Itachi. I sighed deeply as I realized what I just said, I was so upset from what happened at the land of sand that I spat it out without thinking. In truth that bugged me to death and I can't let go of it ever since it happened.

"I would always try to save you and risk my life for yours, I pretty much know why you acting like that though."

"What are you talking about?"

"You need rest."

"Don't change the subject, please answer me!"

"No, I highly recommend that we speak of this after you are well enough to come to your senses. I think that the medicine you took had a big toll on you and could be causing you to not think straight. I have to leave now…" he said as he headed out the door. I started crying and laid back down, tears running down my face as I frowned.

'Itachi…why is he like this? Why is he…younger? I must be dreaming because there is no way this is real, though I feel pain and pain means that this is reality and not a dream right? Or is that just some dumb theory that everybody believes, maybe I should just rest. Those past days in unending sadness are really causing me to get frustrated. I want to know though, I want to know if the Itachi now is real. If this kindness I am seeing is reality…' I thought as I fell asleep.

"Pervy sage!!! Where are we going?" Naruto shouted as Hinata sat next him. Frowning as she stared at the exhausted Naruto who just recently passed the second step of learning the rasengan, now all that was left was perfecting the rasengan which is proving to be really difficult for him.

"Quiet boy! I told you many times before, the land of water. Is your brain so messed that it can't it store short-term memory?!"

"But Sakura might be in the land of sand! This isn't supposed to be a journey about receiving research for your stupid books!"

"My books are sensational and a blessing to the mind! But I guess someone like you wouldn't know anyways, but right now we are heading toward an island that I am very familiar with," he said as he started blushing.

"This can't be good…" Naruto said as he sighed. "Its probably something to do with all your perverted thoughts, like always. I am really regretting going with you!" Naruto shouted as Hinata sighed.

'Sakura please be alright,' she thought solemnly.

I woke up to soft gaze of Itachi peering down at me, his face tranquil and comforting…I quickly moved away once I realized what happened last time. I wanted to ask many questions right now, but only one came to my mind. "What do you want?!"

"To help you," he said as he remained still.

"Why now though?" I asked calmly, this must be the past Itachi because the other Itachi would never say that.

"Because you are interesting to me."

"Interesting? How is that?" I asked anxiously, I really wanted to know this question whether it was normal Itachi or past Itachi.

"Because you understand me, like you know how I felt when even the people close to me couldn't notice anything."

"You are from the past aren't you?" I asked, but I was scared to know the answer to this question. He could still be joking with me to get something…

"Yes, I agree that I am strangely here."

"But 'how' did you get here?"

"That is a question I want to know also, all I remember was waking up to see you on the floor. The ship we were on was falling apart and a big piece of wood from the ship fell on you from above, I picked you up and saw the Akatsuki cloaks. I thought they captured you to get the crystal because you are the princess after all, I then used the escape boat to get away and they never even noticed us because they had enough troubles with the ship to deal with. All night during the storm I kept us alive until we made it to this island."

"That makes sense, are you here to stay though?"

"I don't know, maybe just for a day, year, or maybe forever."

"I'm hoping forever is the answer to that question."

"You seem to be having a rough time right now, did something happen recently?"

"Yeah, in short you ditched me. Leaving me heart broken…"

"Didn't I tell you I would be different in the future?"

"Yes, but are you so different that you lost having a heart?"

"Its possible, to accomplish my goal I will concentrate only on it. I don't need friends, but being on good terms with people is where I cross the line. Nothing goes past there because it could ruin everything. That is what I thought before I met you, my existence was for my goal."

"I know…its just when you told me you would help me no matter what in the past, I convinced myself that you would always be there for me. I really took it to heart and tried to get the you from the past back."

"Did you miss me that much?"

"Yes, because I only had a few friends in the past and I treat my friends as precious treasures even though we are separated or are having a rough time with each other. My did you trust me in the past then and not the future though?"

"Because you knew what happened in the future and I needed all the information I could get from you, I saw that getting to know you was a good opportunity for what I am up against."

"So that is the reason why…I thought you liked me. Now I can see why the Itachi now is like the Itachi in the past."

"You are pretty interesting once I got to know you, I kept you alive as a means of getting more information at first. But after that it was because you were like a partner in helping me out."

"Like Kisame, I bet you would help him and that is why you didn't help me and Diedara…"

"What?"

"Its nothing," I said as I touched my legs. I got up slowly and they were completely healed, everything was good as new. "What are we going to do now that I am better?"

"I'm not sure, where were you headed to last?"

"Here…well the mainland to be exact. I don't know how to say this, but I'm following the Akatsuki to stop them."

"…are you joking?"

"No…is it that unbelievable?"

"Yes, really unbelievable."

"Well, I guess we have the same goal. To stop Akatsuki and I want to find my mom."

"So she is alive?"

"Yes, she ran away. That is what I heard and I am going to find her no matter what."

"You seem pretty determined."

"I am, I need to get stronger though. One Akatuki member is teaching me…what is with that look you have?"

"You had an Akatsuki member teach you?" he asked with disbelief.

"Yes."

"Must be a pretty stupid one, were you planning on joining Akatsuki?"

"Maybe, if I was strong enough."

"You are crazy to get yourself mixed up with them, with your strength and all."

"It is better than going home and getting married to Sa…this one guy."

"Sa?"

"Well that is…his nickname."

"You gave him a nickname?"

"Its better than his real name," I said as I frowned. 'Trust me it would sound better to you if his name was Sa…' I thought as that island women from last time came in.

"Hello, I see you are well now. Come to the hut with orange flowers surrounding it for breakfast," she said as she smiled.

"I am really hungry right now," I said as he smirked.

"Then lets get you something to eat."

The sound of waves was loud and my body was soaked as I gripped the sand underneath me. I slowly got up and brushed the sand off of me as Kisame was washed up as well beside me. I then kicked him over so I could see his face and put one foot on him to wake him up. "Fish face! Wake up!" I yelled as he glared at me.

"Get your freaking foot of me!"

"Now is not the time for that, we are stranded!"

"Stranded?" he said as he got up and looked around now. "Where is the ship?"

"Look," I said as I pointed to the ocean. Pieces of lumber was everywhere and he looked back at me.

"Where are the others?!

"I don't know I just woke up too, I will look this way you look the other way and we will see what we will come up with."

After the island breakfast we decided to walk around the island to talk, we needed a plan of some sort right now. "Is there any way to get off the island?"

"Yes, there are boats that go to the mainland every so often."

"Then I think we should go to the mainland because there is nothing here," I said as I picked up a seashell to examine it.

"What are we aiming to do?"

"Water crystal, don't touch it though because it does bad things remember?" I said as I stopped and dropped the shell. 'Crystal, at the land of sand Itachi held two crystals. Fire and Sand, time travel and sickness.'

"What is it?"

"I know how you got here and now you might disappear…"

"Disappear? You mean like you were in the past?"

"Yeah, but if we don't find the crystal that Deidara has you will be gone…forever."

Sorry for the long wait, since I got a new Internet my siblings have been fighting to get on a computer now and my time is now limited. I hoped you liked it because this is going be the best sequel, in my opinion.

Questions:

1.) Why are the characters talking in run-on sentences sometimes?

Because is dialogue you can have run-on and fragments, that is what I learned anyway.

2.) How many sequels are there going to be?

Probably one more after this, I'm not sure.

3.) Why did Itachi hold Sakura's hand, isn't he not like that?

Well since Itachi knew that Sasuke was Sakura's finance, he wanted to make him jealous and to see how strong he was by angering him.
