Forgetting the Past

Itachi sighed. He didn't know why his mother brought him to the hospital. He was 5 years old for crying out loud! All he knew was that he was eating with his parents when a medic ninja appeared in front of them and told them that Mikoto's best friend Amaya was at the hospital. His parents' face paled when they heard the news. They quickly left their home without telling Itachi anything. Leaving him confused and worried.

A scream tore Itachi out of his thoughts and caught his attention, as well as his parents who paled even more. He clung to his mother nervous of what was happening. Mikoto looked down at his son and smiled. She picked him up telling him that everything would be alright. Itachi tried to hug his mother, but he couldn't since his mother's swelling stomach was in his way. He knew that he was going to have a baby sibling. But he was wondering if his sibling would take his parent's attention away from him.

"Oh god! I hope she's alright…" Said Itachi's mother's best friend's husband Daisuke who was standing next to Fugaku. Itachi's father.

"Don't worry Daisuke." said Fugaku, "But what if I lose Amaya? O-O-Or the child!" Daisuke yelled panicking. 'So that explains the screaming…. A child is coming,' thought Itachi 'wait…. Doesn't that mean mother will experience the same thing?' Itachi hugged his mother tighter when he thought of this. Mikoto saw his son's actions and sighed 'always worrying' she thought.

The screaming ended and was replaced by the cries of a baby. A nurse came out of the hospital room with a smile.

"Haruno-san, you can see your wife and child now." The nurse said dodging to the right trying her best not to get pushed out of the way. Itachi looked at his mother and saw that colour was returning to her face and was smiling. He breathed a sigh of relief knowing that it was over. His mother and father stood up and walked into the room with Itachi behind them. He froze when he smelt blood, but could not see it since it was cleaned up right away. His mother walked to the bed where Amaya was with a pink bundle in her arms. Fugaku was talking to Daisuke secretly at the end of the room. 'Probably clan business' he thought while glaring at the bundle that his mother was looking at with tears in her eyes saying how cute the baby was. He kept glaring when his mother said "Itachi, come here for a moment."

He did as he was told not wanting to object. Taking the 5 year old completely off guard, Mikoto placed the pink bundle in his arms and told him to be gentle with her.

Itachi looked at his mother shocked of what she did. However, when he looked at the bundle he stopped breathing.

'She's beautiful!' he thought looking at the baby girl. She had pale skin with no marks in site with pink cheeks and lips. She was a little bit chubby but that's how they all were. But what caught his attention the most was her hair which was a light shade of pink.

When infant opened her eyes, he choked on the air. They were a flawless shade of green that made him feel like he was drowning in them. The baby looked at him and smiled as she grabbed his bangs with her tiny hand. She pulled his bangs and started to giggle. The moment she giggled he was hooked. 'Is this what kaa-san calls love?' he wondered.

"Amaya what is the girl's name?" asked Mikoto, Daisuke and Amaya looked at each other and nodded.

"We decided that her name will be Sakura Haruno" said Amaya.

'Sakura,' thought ItachI, 'it suits her.'

"Itachi!" called Fugaku, "It's time to go." Itachi gave Sakura to Amaya and started to walk to the door. As he reached the hallway he looked back, 'I love you and always will..' he thought and with that he was gone.

12 years later….. (after chunnin exams and after everything has happened except for the curse mark on Sasuke)

Sakura sighed as she watched her home village slowly repair itself from Orochimaru's attack at the exams on the final rounds. She managed to defeat her opponent with ease on the final round along with her teammate Naruto (an: I won't make Sakura weak in this story). It was her other teammate, Sasuke's turn to fight when Orchimaru attacked. She was able to injure a few sand shinobi when she was pinned to a tree by Gaara with his sand. If it wasn't for Naruto she would've been crushed easily. 'Oh well, I better meet Naruto at the gate to help him and Jiraya look for our new Hokage.' She thought walking down the street. She was almost there when she passed by an old cherry blossom when she remembered something.

Flashback

"Aaaaah!" yelled a 7 year old girl as she was being chased by a group of kids throwing rocks at here. "Get back here forehead-girl!" the leader of the gain Ami yelled. "What have I done to you?" yelled Sakura as she hid behind a tree. "You're just a freak of nature that doesn't deserve to live!" sneered Ami as she walked closer to the cherry blossom tree Sakura was behind. "When we're through you're going to wish you were never-" "I'd leave her alone if I were you." A voiced called from one of the branches of the cherry blossom tree. "Uh-oh. It's ANBU guys run!" screeched one of girls.

They ran away scared like there was no tomorrow. Once they were gone the ANBU ninja jumped down and walked toward the scared girl. "Are you alright?" he asked kindness in his voice. "Y-yes," Sakura stuttered, "thank-you mister….?" The ANBU ninja removed his mask to show the face of a 12 year old with obsidian eyes and a smile with two marks from the corners of his eyes to his cheek. "Just call me Itachi. Itachi Uchiha Sakura." He said "Oh. Okay a- Wait. How do you know my name?" she asked suspicious. Itachi smirked and turned around with his back to her saying "All in good time Sakura.".

Since that day Sakura had developed a crush for him only to hear that he murdered the Uchiha clan a few months later as Sasuke the only survivor. A month later her parents died on a S-rank mission leaving her as an orphan and finding out about the arranged marriage of her and Itachi Uchiha.

Flashback ends

Sakura smiled sadly and shook her head. 'I shouldn't be having memories at this time.' She thought shaking her head to clear her thoughts. As she approached the gates she could a blob of orange and a blob of red and white. 'Naruto and Jiraya' she thought.

"SAKURA-CHAN!" yelled Naruto as he ran to hug her "NARUTO!" she said angrily as she smacked him on the head.

"He he… sorry about that." He grinned sheepishly and scratched the back of his neck. "Ahem." Jiraya cleared his throat trying to catch the two chunnin's attention (an: in my story Naruto and Sakura are chunnins since they won their match. Don't flame me!). "Gomen pervy-sage." Chimed Naruto, "Pervy-sage?" laughed Sakura while Jiraya's eye twitched. "Don't call me that!" threatened Jiraya, "Now, this mission is about looking for our new Hokage. I have found the perfect person.". "And who would that be Jiraya-san?" Asked Sakura curious, "My old teammate Tsunade." Jiraya smirked like his plan was brilliant. "Rumours say that she is in one of the neighbouring villages so we should search there first.". "Got it pervy-sage!" "Hai Jiraya-san!" Jiraya twitched on the first reponse.

Hours later at the hotel since nothing interesting happened….

"I can't believe pervy-sage ditched me to go out with some girl while Sakura went food shopping." Naruto grumbled while all of his shadow clones passed out during his rant. When Naruto stopped grumbling he sweatdropped at the sight. "Uh guys? When did I say it was break time."

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Okay, hold I'm coming!" Naruto called out walking to the door. He opened the door and was greeted by red sharingan eyes. 'Sasuke?' Naruto thought. As he looked at the man at the door he noticed that he was older and wore a black cloak with red clouds on it. 'No,' he thought 'he looks older than Sasuke'.

"So this is the nine tailed jinchuriki." A man that was taller than Sasuke look-a-like with blue skin and gills said. 'They know about the nine tailed fox' Naruto thought looking at the strange pair.

"You know, this kid could run away. Why don't I chop off one of his legs?" the mysterious blue mas chuckled grabbing his giant sword.

Before he could pull it out footsteps were heard followed by an angry voice. "Itachi!" the voice shouted, 'Sasuke?' thought Naruto. "It's been a long time?" the sharingan wielding man said turning around to face the young Uchiha "Hasn't it Sasuke?"

"You know this kid Itachi?" The tall blue man said grinning "He looks a lot like you." "Hai. He is my foolish brother." 'Brother's?' Naruto screeched in his head. "I will kill you Itachi!" Sasuke screamed "CHIDORI!"

Meanwhile…..

"Finally!" Sakura sighed knowing that her shopping is done for the entire mission. 'I wonder how Naruto is doing on his own?' She thought as walked back to the hotel. Her question was answered at the sound of an explosion near the hotel she was staying at. 'Oh no!' she panicked in her mind as she ran to the hotel. As soon as she entered the hallway she saw Sasuke being held up by his neck by someone covered in the shadows. Anger filled inside of her seeing her teammate in trouble.

"LET GO OF MY TEAMATE!" she yelled kicking the arm holding Sasuke. "SAKURA!" her teammates yelled surprised to see her. "Who else?" She asked grinning. "Good to see you again," the shadow said stepping into the light showing the sharingan "Sakura." Sakura's eyes widened seeing the man before her. "I-Itachi." She said shocked.
