Please review... See ya...
Chapter 1
Sakura Haruno was in the park of the village hidden in the leaves, Konoha, waiting for her friends Ino Yamanaka and Hinata Hyuga. The girls were going to do some shopping for the bachelor party of Tenten. Neji Hyuaga, her boyfriend since now two years, has finally proposed her. But Sakura's was not really concerned by the marriage. Sakura hated that word. She hated it. It reminded her that one year earlier her lover Itachi Uchiha had left her in the middle of their marriage for an unknown reason.
-------------------------FLASHBACK----------------------------
She has cried all the tears of her body for weeks and weeks wondering what could be the reason which led Itachi to such a low act. Was she at fault? Naruto Usumaki, her best friend and teammate, had tried his best to make her smile again. But the pink haired girl was lost in the emptiness Itachi left in her life. Indeed Itachi was the light which shone in her world. After defeating his brother Sasuke Uchiha and leaving the Akatsuki, Itachi became a ninja of Konoha, often teaming up with Kakashi's team, namely Sai, Naruto and Sakura for C- Rank and B-Rank missions.
It was during a duo mission that the two Chunin realised their love for each other. They were supposed to protect a highly placed politician, Yuij (1) of the village of Getsu. Itachi and Sakura were involved in a fight against Garuki, a corrupted hunter nin (1), employed to kill Yuij. Garuki succeeded to disarm Itachi and to immobilise him while Sakura was fighting against his clone. He was about to strike when Sakura hit him from behind and killed him. Itachi was surprised and could not help ask Sakura:
"Why did you save me? You could have let him killed me and say that you were not able to save me. I thought you hated me for what I did to Sasuke."
Sakura simply said:
"I have a conscience you know. And there's lot of things you don't know about me." And she walked away.
Itachi was perplexed. That night, he went to Sakura's tent for further explanations. And reluctantly, she agreed to tell him. That boy has some kind of power to which you can't say no, thought Sakura. She explained to Itachi that she thought Sasuke was the one she loved and she suffered a lot fro his departure from Konoha but later realised when Sasuke tried to take advantage of her that he was no longer the man she once loved.
Itachi was shocked to see that despite the death of her parents, Sasuke's acts towards her and the other horrible things she had witnessed for her young age, Sakura was as strong as a rock and was always smiling. From that moment, he knew that Sakura was the one he waited all his life. After completing their mission, they started dating. They were extremely happy together. Itachi, after many years in darkness and hurt, found in Sakura a person to love, someone to whom he could confess his secrets even the darkest ones and most important a person on whom he could count and trust.
A sudden female scream took Sakura out of her thoughts.
