Chapter 1. First Sight
Hello! ^^' So I'm like extremely nervous this is my first fanfic so please be nice.
This is a Ita-Saku pairing as they are the best {So I think ^^}.
I promise to try to update as often as possible, any pointers or ideas you all send me will be taken into account. So I hope you all comment so I can become better at this...Hopefully. Just so everyone knows in this fanfic I'm going to start back when Sakura an Itachi were children an slowly go through their time line so that everyone gets a full understanding of the story behind them in this fanfic. Also keep in mind Sakura an Itachi are a little OOC since I don't really know what they would have been like but since this is my story if you don't like it let me know an I might make a few changes if I feel it needs it.

First Sight
Four year old Sakura Haruno had the best life any young girl could ask for, living in a wonderful village with loving parents, an her best friend Ino an Hinata. What more could a young girl ask for when everything is so perfect.
Sakura's P.O.V
"Sakura dear! Hurry before it becomes to late." called my loving mother from downstairs. As ran past the mirror that hung on my wall I looked at my reflection, seeing a smiling pink haired girl I ran out of my room to where my mother was. "Sakura are you ready to go to the park?", mother smiled towards me as I nodded an looked for my father who was walking towards us as he smiled. "My two favorite women ready?", my father had a deep voice but it held so much love in it "Yes Daddy". My mother an father walked behind me as I half ran to the park excited to see my two friends, I would look back every time I felt I was too far from my parents as my mother would laugh almost every time I looked at her.
Arriving at the park I looked up at my mother an father an smiled the brightest smile I could as my father leaned down an kissed the top of my head before he an my mother walked to a bench towards the entrance of the park. I turned an looked for my friend Ino not seeing her I frowned a little as I looked around for Hinata hoping she would be here not that she was very often. 'None of my friends are here' I couldn't help feeling sad knowing my friends weren't here to play with. I walked over to the swings as I noticed a blonde haired boy with bright blue eyes sitting on the swing looking sad. 'I wonder why he's so sad did his friends not come too' I squat down an looked up at his sad face. "Why are you sad?" the boy looked up quickly I noticed he had whiskers. "No one wants to play with me", the blonde boy looked close to crying, she smiled happily as her emerald eyes lit up "I will play with you, My name is Sakura Haruno." The blonde boy smiled so brightly it made me warm inside to know I had made someone so happy, "Really? My names Naruto Uzumaki!" the blonde boy pointed to his chest an smiled. I stood up an sat at on the swing next to him "So what do you want to play Naruto-kun?" as Naruto watched me sit on the swing he smiled "Hide an seek ok Sakura-chan?", I smiled an stood up an poked his arm "Then Naruto-kun has to count first.". Naurto smiled bright an covered his eyes an started to count "1, 2, 3, 4..." looking around she looked from the trees to the slide at the park 'were should I hide? I don't want to be found to fast' deciding to run an hide behind a tree I ran quickly an giggled to myself as I waited for Naruto.
Naruto's P.O.V
"9,10! Ready Sakura-chan here I come", I opened my eyes an looked around the park not seeing anything pink like the new girls hair I walked over to the park area an looked inside the slide not seeing Sakura. I turned an looked by the gate an saw some adults but no Sakura not caring that another boy an what looked like his brother walked into the parks gated area, I turned towards the sand box as I looked by some trees. 'Sakura-chan's as good as me when it comes to hiding' I laughed to myself as I tried to quietly walk over to a near by tree, seeing a tint of pink move behind the tree I jumped around "Gotcha Sakura-chan!". Said girl giggled an ran away "You have to tag me Naruto-kun your still it!" the girl hadn't been watching where she was running as she ran right into one of the boys who had just walked into the park. Seeing the younger boy glare at her with such a mean look made me mad 'Who does he think he is looking at her like that?' I ran over to her side. "I-I-I'm sorry" Sakura-chan looked very uncomfortable as the younger dark haired boy glared at her still "You should be sorry for hitting my ni-san". I couldn't help but get pissed when he talked to Sakura that way I walked up to him an yelled "Leave Sakura-chan alone she said she was sorry you don't have to be mean to her!" I never in my life felt like I needed to stand up for someone except myself but it felt so right to stand up for her. Said girl looked up at him an smiled so brightly it made my heart jump, as Sakura stood up she bowed to the older dark haired boy.
Sakura's P.O.V
"I am sorry for running into you" I looked back up to the taller boy an smiled before looking at the younger version of him "Would you like to play with me an my friend?". Naruto looked at me like I had spoke in gibberish as I waited for the younger boy to answer. "Sasuke..." I looked up at the older boy seeing as he was the one who answered instead of who I guess is Sasuke, said boy looked up at the older boy an crossed his arms an looked at me "Fine.". Naurto looked at Sasuke with an angry face as Sasuke glared back at Naruto I sighed 'They don't look to happy that I said that'. "Sakura-chan is it so go hide Sasuke" Naruto walked off still giving Sasuke mean looks as Sasuke glared back at Naruto "Hn." I watched them both get far enough that I couldn't hear either of them but by the looks of it seemed that Naruto was still yelling at Sasuke. 'I hope we can all be friends even tho they don't like each other' I noticed something shift to my side as I looked up at the older boy an smiled "Are you Sasuke-kun's brother?", the boy just looked at me with the same black orbed eyes as his younger brother, I could almost see my pink hair reflect in his eyes as he nodded slightly. I put my hand out an smiled brightly "My name is Sakura Haruno", the boy looked at me for a little bit 'He doesn't want to talk to me?'.I looked down as I started to pull my hand back but I suddenly felt a warm hand grab mine an I looked up an smiled "Itachi Uchiha" he didn't take his eyes off of mine. "Sakura dear we need to go!" my mother called to me from the entrance of the gate as I pulled my hand away slowly I turned an ran to Naurto an hugged him tightly "Bye Naruto-kun". I turned to Sasuke even tho I didn't get to know him I figured he was my friend an hugged him "Bye Sasuke-kun" as I let go both boys had there heads turned an pink cheeks I giggled an walked back towards my mom an dad. As I walked by Itachi I smiled an hugged him "Bye Itachi-kun" I let go an ran to my moms side as we walked away from the park I suddenly felt sad to leave my new friends.
Normal P.O.V
The park seemed to be less lively without Sakura there anymore as the 3 boys just looked at each other for a bit Sasuke was the first to talk. "Ni-san I want to go home" Sasuke looked to Itachi who seemed to be over thinking as usual but Naruto just looked at them an sighed to himself knowing that they would leave him there then no one would be left at the park with him. Itachi nodded an started to walk away from the park with Sasuke at his side either bothering to say anything to Naruto as they left. Naruto watched as they left then walked to his home knowing that no one would be there when he got there he took his time in walking.
Itachi couldn't help but see pink every where as he an Sasuke walked back to their home in the Uchiha compound. Itachi looked down at Sasuke who seemed to be in a rather irritated mood which could have been from a number of things Sakura running into Itachi or Naruto who seemed to get on Sasuke's nerves for no reason at all. Sasuke noticed Itachi looking at him an looked up "Ni-san why did you make me play with those two?" Itachi in return looked away from Sasuke towards were they were headed. Sasuke looked away angrily as he crossed his arms "You never tell me anything ni-san" Itachi smirked "You will understand some day".
2 Years later-
Sakura's P.O.V
'Naurto an Sasuke couldn't be more annoying, I should be use to it by now they have been like this since the day we all met I'm way more grown then them they still act like 4 year olds even tho we're all 6 now' I shrugged my shoulders as I walked home from eating ramen with Sasuke an Naruto its like a daily thing Naruto always asks Sasuke says no then I have to decide. 'I cant wait to start the Academy this year' I walked by the Academy on my way home almost everyday an this year I was finally going to start my mom an I had a fight about it this morning she doesn't like the idea of me being in danger. Luckily my father thought it was a good idea but he always sides with mom now to keep her from yelling, so I decided a day away from them would be what I needed but the boys didn't help much. "BOOOOOOM" The ground shook as I tried to keep balance as I covered my mouth seeing smoke come down the streets, I could hear people screaming about a fire 'someone's house must have exploded but that just seems odd I mean how often does that happen?' I felt a sudden urge to find my parents an at the same moment I felt my heart drop praying that our house was okay. I ran down the street as fast as my legs would take me before it was so hard to see I felt like I was pushing the smoke away from my face. I counted the houses as I passed them still not seeing the house that had been on fire yet, I stopped as I felt the heat an realized this should be my house not a burst of flames, tears fell so violently down my face I hadn't even realized that my body was running way until I attempted to wipe some tears from my face an saw blurs or houses on my side.
I was so far outside the village I couldn't even recognize where I was I never left the village before but that's were my body had taken me until the pain from lack of air started to slow me until I fell to the ground. It felt like I couldn't catch my breath an I felt like I needed to cough by the more I coughed the more it felt like someone was strangling me. I cried harder as I realized I ran away from my home even tho there was probably nothing left but I didn't even try to look if anyone was outside but the empty whole in my chest let me know that even if I could go back now no one would have been there. I felt my body go numb starting around my chest area as I kept crying 'I should have stayed home, I shouldn't have fought with my mom, I should have been a good daughter an just listened now I cant' I felt my throat get tight as it too went numb. I felt like I was dying but some how that didn't bother me knowing I would be alone now forever with no more mom and dad death didn't sound so bad. I could tell it was late, I remember the sun going down when I left to go home but now there was no sun just cold darkness, I wondered if I would be able to get back to the village as I tried to moved I felt sharp pains in my chest an cut the palm of my hand on a sharp rock sticking out of the ground. I fell back on the ground the rocks on my arms, legs an face poked at me in painful ways but I didn't have the strength to move my body, the ground beneath me was cold I could feel little shivers run through my body. As the tears still fell I realized I was feeling to numb that I didn't even know if I was breathing I looked at the trees around me as they became blurs I closed my eyes praying the pain would stop, an the tears. I prayed that my parents were safe an my home was perfectly untouched an I was having a bad nightmare but as the numbness took of it soon was hard to think I opened my eyes again to see more blurs, as colors mixed together I noticed something move in the blurs, but then I saw...nothing just black.
Sasuke's P.O.V
Naruto is so annoying I don't even know why I put up with him let alone consider him a friend. I could tell he was talking about something but I couldn't care less as I walked back towards the Uchiha compound I looked over to see Naruto with his hands behind his head as he was still talking about something "Hn". If I knew Naruto he was going to follow m all the way home just to say hi to my mother how annoying. 'This dobe does the same things almost every day, I wonder if that's why Sakura always goes along with what ever he says just to make him happy' "Oi Sasuke are you even listening to me!" I looked over at him an shook my head no as Naruto stopped walking. I didn't look back to see if he was going to keep following me or not as I walked up to my house I herd his footsteps an sighed as I opened the door as Naruto walked in like it was his house. "Sasu-kun is that you?" my mother always sounded in the greatest of moods as I walked in behind Naruto an shut the door. Naruto ran into the kitchen were my mother was as I sighed an followed him seeing my brother in the kitchen as well. "I thought you were on a mission ni-san?" Itachi looked over to me an smirked "I was but now I'm back", Naruto ran over an hugged my mother as I glared at him "Oh hello there Naruto-kun I see you guys forgot my favorite person again". Itachi an I looked over at our mother as Naruto let her go "Sakura-chan had a bad fight with her mother this morning an wanted to go home an say sorry" Naruto smiled as my mother looked over to me "It was about starting the Academy next week". Itachi looked at me after I explained to mother why Sakura was upset "Poor girl, well tomorrow you two tell her to come for dinner, you come to Nar..." BOOOOOM! I looked out the window an saw smoke suddenly flow into the sky "Itachi?" Naruto was soon right next to me looking out the window as I looked to my brother "Its not an attack there's no chakra". I herd my mother let a breath out as I backed away an leaned on the counter I noticed Naruto hadn't moved. "Dobe its fine its probably..." Naruto turned an looked at me with such fear in his face I couldn't finish my sentence "That's the direction of Sakura's house Sasuke..." it took everyone in the room 3 seconds to realize Sakura could be in danger. I ran out of the room as fast as I could with Naruto next to me keeping up as we ran to Sakura's house, the closer we got the more worried I got as I covered my mouth trying not to inhale the smoke as it could be deadly to anyone. As we got onto Sakura's street I could barely see Naruto next to me as we walked up I saw a face I knew Shikamaru standing at the edge of the street as ninja blocked the road so no one would be hurt. "Shikamaru who's house is was it?" Shikamaru turned to me an then looked to Naruto I could see how he looked at Naruto's sad face a knew before the words came out "Sakura's...". I looked around an was pulled away as was Naruto I looked an realized it was Itachi taking us back to the house as Naruto struggled against Itachi. "We need to go make sure she's alive! I cant stay here an do nothing!" Itachi walked us back into my house an dropped Naruto in the kitchen back with my mother. Seeing my mother cry made me feel even more worried for our pink haired friend who every one loved so deeply Naruto tried to calm my mother as I walked to the door as Itachi was leaving "Find her...please"
