Summary: ItaSaku 17-year-old Sakura wishes that something interesting or life-changing would happen in her life. But be careful, what you wish for. Because that wish didn't happen to involve Itachi Uchiha and Akatsuki desiring her power.

Summary 2: ItaSaku she could feel his hot breath on her throat again.

"Understand this, kunoichi. This isn't a negotiation. It's an order." He said whispering in her ear, while holding a sharpened kunai to her throat.

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful night. The sky was bright; the stars were twinkling in the sky. The full moon was bright, yellow, and shining, rising above the ragged gray clouds.

And 17-year-old Haruno Sakura sighed.

She had just failed the ANBU exams for the 3rd time.

She didn't understand. She was stronger to than all the three legendary sannins and the saindaime combined.

She trained everyday. She was a capable jonin.

And she couldn't even freaking pass the ANBU exams.

What is with me?

She thought.

Nothing much. She looked at herself. She had lost weight; her skin had gotten even paler.

I bet I have dark rings under my eyes. Ever, since he died, I've never been able to sleep.

Sasuke had died two years ago, in the fight against Orochimaru. Nobody could save him. Orochimaru had already made him his latest vessel. He didn't remember anything about his past; Orochimaru had completely taken over him. It was too late. He would have killed them. The only thing they could have done for him was to kill him. And that's what they did; she and Naruto did the honors, freeing him from Orochimaru.

Flashback

"Sakura...Naruto." Sasuke said, while coughing up blood, a flicker of recognition in his golden snakelike eyes, which a moment ago held no emotion, nothing but complete madness.

"...Thank you." He continued. His heartbeat was slowing down. Soon, there was no pulse. He was dead.

Sakura was crying silently and Naruto was also crying, shaking Sasuke's dead body, screaming "Wake up, teme! Don't die yet."

Sakura had tried healing him, but it was no use. Tears were rolling down her face. Then she looked up and saw the expression on Sasuke's face. The expression on his still handsome but snake-like stoic face, looked like pure bliss. He was smiling. She had never seen such a happy expression on his face, when he was alive. It looked like he was happier in death than in life.

"Look at his face, Naruto..." She said trembling. Naruto looked at his face. "Yeah...He looks so much happier, now." He said, looking to burst tears again.

"Come on...let's take him back to Konoha." Sakura said, trying to stifle a sob.

"Yeah." Naruto said, with his head down, crying again, while heaving Sasuke's body over his shoulders.

And together they started the long journey back to Konoha

end of flashback

When Naruto and Sakura arrived in Konoha, they took Sasuke to Tsunade. Who officially declared him dead.

After they had turned in their mission reports, both of them had tried to get Sasuke's name engraved on the Memorial to all the ninja's that honorably passed away in the line of duty. It was the greatest honor, to those who had passed away. They were the "heroes" of the village.

The elders refused to have Sasuke's name engraved on the memorial. He was a missing Nin and had caused Konoha problems. To them, he was nothing, but a little troublesome pest that finally had died. But to Sakura and Sasuke, he was their best friend, and he use to be their comrade and teammate.

Sakura and Naruto fought against to the elders to get Sasuke name engraved on memorial. But it was hopeless.

But in the end, they got Sasuke a decent burial. He was buried, next to the rest of his deceased clan.

Surprisingly, a considerable amount of people showed up for his funeral, Naruto, Kakashi, Iruka, Shikamaru, Ino, Tenten, Chouji, Neji, Lee, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, and the Kazekage of Suna, Gaara, and his siblings.

Tsunade was there also. Since a hokage was always required to show up at funerals.

Sakura, Naruto, and Kakashi visited Sasuke's grave daily. Sasuke's death in a way had brought them even closer.

But then Naruto and Sakura took another hard hit, when they learned Kakashi had been killed on a mission, by Akatsuki. The reasons were unknown why they killed him.

Sakura had been already unstable since Sasuke's death, and she had become even more unstable after Kakashi's death.

And Sasuke and Kakashi became a very delicate subject to bring up between Naruto and Sakura.

Tsunade had given her a four months leave to mourn. But six months wasn't enough. Sakura needed more time to put herself back together, but Tsunade could only afford four months, since Sakura was the best medic in the hospital and was needed most of the time.

Damn you, Sasuke. She thought, gritting her teeth. Everything had gone wrong ever since he had died.

She loved Sasuke when he was gone, and she now still loved him even though he was dead. She turned down many proposals and dates from handsome men, because of him. She still couldn't get him out of her head, even though he was head.

To make matters worst, she could barely ever kill someone on a mission. The moment, she was about to kill someone, Sasuke's blissful face would come up and cloud her vision and she would freeze. Stupid memories of him flooding back.

Sakura had decided that she should try to get in the ANBU. ANBU training was extremely tough and hard. Only the best could get it. It would probably take her mind of Sasuke and she could sharpen up her ninja skills.

She had trained almost everyday and then finally took the test. But she failed.

After waiting three months, she took the next ANBU exams and again she had failed.

Sakura had waited, a year. She trained even harder and at the same time working at the hospital. She knew if she did not pass this time, she could never take the ANBU exams again, since you were only given three chances.

A year had passed and today she had taken the ANBU exams and failed again. The

ANBU Captain of the 7th squad, who was the examiner this year, had firmly told her "I'm sorry Sakura-san, but you fail... You have almost no resolve to kill someone and you are too soft."

She scowled. The examiner was right. She had almost no resolve to kill and she was too soft. And I was pathetic to fall in love with Sasuke. He didn't love me and in the end he died in vain. He didn't kill his brother or revive the Uchiha clan. He didn't accomplish his goals. She thought glumly.

After failing the exam, which was a whopping 14 hours long, she went home and cried her heart out. Trying to reassure her, telling herself that it was alright that it was already if she couldn't become part of the ANBU. Besides, she was already busy working at the hospital and was a well-respected medical Nin.

Scratch that. She had lost many peoples respect, right after Sasuke died. She experienced setbacks at the hospital, losing many patients lives that could have been easily saved.

And they had cut down much of her hours at the hospital, to her embarrassment. They couldn't afford to have so many setbacks and lose so many lives, that could have been easily saved, because of her.

Naruto had offered her to dinner at Ichiruku ramen to cheer her up, but Sakura turned the offer down. She wasn't in the mood.

And instead, she ate a light dinner of cold rice and some pickled vegetable and headed out for a walk in the moonlight, where she was now, pondering over the past & current events in her life.

She loved taking night time walks. Where she lived was a rural area in Konoha. There was no laughing, loud noises, etc. Everything was quiet and peaceful. Only the crickets were chirping. And the moon was always so beautiful. These walks helped her ponder on her problems, with ought any interruptions.

I need to regain everyone's respect back. And I wish something interesting, life-changing would happen. She thought, wishing.

Nothing had been very interesting in her life recently. Everything had been boring or the same. She had the same schedule everyday. No missions anymore.

This was affecting her badly. First of all due to not working at the hospital that much and not going on mission was taking out a big chunk out of her annual salary was a kunoichi. She, barley had enough to pay the rent for her large luxurious house, which she could have easily afforded before.

And she needed something to distract her. Something that would take her mind off Sasuke.

A light breeze came by ruffling her short cotton-candy colored hair, as she pondered over what to do now, since she couldn't join the ANBU.

Off in her own her world, she failed to sense an aura, which was a source of dark, powerful chakra, which was near her.

And then suddenly, a kunai whizzed past her ear. Sakura had ducked just in time, before her right ear got cut off.

What the hell? She thought. Shannaro! Beat up that bastard that dares to throw a kunai at us, screamed Inner Sakura.

She mentally told her inner self to shut up and instinctly, her hand went to her kunai and Shuriken holder strapped to her thigh. Now, she was alert.

"Who's there?" She shouted, eyes darting in each direction, searching for the kunai thrower. Her heart painfully hammered against her chest.

"All by yourself?" Asked a deep, velvety voice. Sakura now, knew her attacker was defiantly male from the voice.

"This is easy, but disappointing." he continued, coolly, stepping out of the shadows revealing himself.

He had handsome and Sakura could see that.

He wasn't very tall, but he was taller than Sakura and looked lean and slightly muscular from his build.

From her point of distance, it seemed like he was wearing a long heavy black cloak.

She couldn't see much of his face. She could tell he had a well-sculptured face that showed no emotion.

But what mattered most were his eyes. They eerily stood out in the night.

His eyes were red, which seemed have Tomoe in both of them.

The sharigan. I'm positive. But Sasuke is dead. There is no other Uchiha besides... Itachi."

"Itachi Uchiha... An S-class missing Nin wanted in seven countries. Uchiha prodigy, Became an ANBU squad leader at age thirteen, and slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan, besides his younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha." Sakura venomously spat out, reciting exactly what Tsunade's files had on him.

"Ah, I've seen you've done your homework, kunoichi. Now, we don't have to waste time on pleasantries and introductions." He stated. His tone was emotionless.

"Cut the crap. What business, do you with me, you, bastard?" She said boldly, glaring at him. And a moment later, her windpipe was cut off of air and found herself roughly, shoved up against a tree, with Itachi's hand tightly griping her throat.

The boldness Sakura had before vanished and fear instantly replaced it. How could I forget? He could easily kill me in a heartbeat.

"Language, Kunoichi. Remember you place." He said coolly.

"...That's right kunoichi. I have business with you." he continued, releasing the grip on her throat.

Then, he lightly trailed up his hands on Sakura's leg, sending shivers up her spine.

She could feel his hot breath on his neck.

And then suddenly, he swiftly cut her leg open with a kunai. Sakura winced and quickly started to heal the wound with her chakra.

He was carefully watching her as she was healing herself. When she was done, Itachi effortlessly threw another kunai at a nearby squirrel, cutting the poor animal almost in half.

"Heal it." He commanded her, if nothing had happened.

Sakura obediently headed where the squirrel was, and healed the poor animal. It was harder than she expected, as she pumped chakra into the squirrel's wound. Soon she was done and the animal slowly was off again on its own feet.

"Hmm...You can even regenerate injuries that extensive? And that quickly? Most impressive." he said, slightly surprised.

"Humph." Sakura muttered.

"Listen to what I have to say, kunoichi. Don't speak." Itachi said, calm as usual.

"I said don't speak." he interrupted her in a dangerous low voice.

"I refuse to." Sakura said defiantly

"You will follow anything, I say to you." He said again.

"You will agree to this. Reply in any other way... I will not kill you. But I will kill your comrades."

"I will kill kyuubi's container." He added with empathsis.

When Itachi uttered those single words out of his mouth, Sakura knew it was time to not be a smart ass and shut her mouth. She knew he had enough power to kill most of the shinobi's of Konoha or any of her friends. He might have reinforcements from Akatsuki, too.

"Don't say anything, with ought being asked. Don't ask anything."

"The only thing that you have grasping in your hand is the throats of your comrades that rest on the guillotine of the string you hold. That's all." He said continuing.

She could feel his hot breath on her throat again.

"Understand this, kunoichi. This isn't a negotiation. It's an order." He said whispering in her ear, while holding a sharpened kunai to her throat.

"Akatsuki desires your power. I've been instructed to bring you back unharmed, when the time comes. Until Akatsuki calls you the headquarters, you will be staying with me. You will follow all of my orders." was the last thing she heard before capturing his eyes... seeing his sharigan eyes spinning, and falling into a world of complete darkness.

End of chapter 1. I hoped you liked it. This story randomly popped out when I was done reading Bleach chapter 247, when Ulquiorra confronts Orhime Inoue to come to Huendo Muedo. So some of the lines when Itachi is confronting Sakura may come from that chapter.
