Hey guys! This is my first ItaSaku fic, really my first fanfic ever and I'm really excited to be able to write my stories. I do have to warn you all though, first of all I'm just a beginner, which means I've never written a story for people to read, so I'm a little nervous. The second warning I do write lemons in my stories, so if you don't like them either don't read them or you can skip them, it's as simple as that. Ready... here we go!
Disclaimer: I...I...Idon'townNaruto. There I said it, happy now?
"Sakura"-talking
Sakura-flashbacks
'Sakura'-thinking
Bam-sound effects
Note: This story is slightly AU, but not enough that it changes the time period or anything, just enough that the characters meeting are diffrent, thats all.

A little girl about 5 years of age with beautiful pink hair and gorgeous emerald green eyes zigzagged past villagers, shops set up on the street, and too busy merchants to pay attention to the pink blur that whizzed by them. Today she was in a hurry and to preoccupied with what was going to go on today to really pay attention to who or what she was passing by. Today was one of those special days, where she got to hang out with all her good friends for the whole day with out any interruptions at all. She loved these days, they would always go for a picnic out in the meadow and just have fun and relax, they all enjoyed their time together since they didn't get much of it. Alot of her friends were much older than her, but she didn't really care what age they were, it didn't really matter. Finally after several minutes of running, she had reached her destination, the meadow where all her friends were. The first thing she saw or rather heard was a boisterous blonde who called her name in greeting, which was followed by a round of greetings.
Her biggest greeting though was the one that a woman in her late twentys with blonde hair and honey-brown eyes gave her. The woman came up to her and gave her a huge hug and a greeting that made her ears hurt "Sakura-chan it's so good to see you!" Sakura nearly crushed in the hug gave her own reply back to th woman "it's good to see you too Tsunade-sama," Sakura gave tham all one of her humoungous smiles that always seemed to brighten everyones moods no matter what. They all replied back with smiles/smirks of their own, they all loved it when she gave that smile, for some reason that always seemed to brighten their moods even when they were at their worst and today they would all get to see her smile more than anyother day. They all truly loved this day, all of them: TsunadeJiraiya, Shizune, Gai, Kakashi, Iruka, Neji, Tenten, Lee, Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji, Shino, Hinata, Kiba, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. After the greetings were exchanged they all began to talk about non-important subjects and were all relly layed back and relaxed. It was especially relaxing for Iruka, Kakashi, Tsunade, Shizune, Neji, Lee, and Tenten who were all either trained ninja or were in training to be a ninja, so it was a very stressful life.
The rest of them were to young to be ninja, but by the next year they would be able to be ninja and thats what had all of them excited, they all wanted to be
ninja badly, but of course each of them had their own reasons. Like how Naruto wanted to become a ninja to be respected by the whole village, or how Sasuke wanted to become a ninja to avenge his clan that his own brother murdered, and how Sakura herself wanted to become a ninja to be able to protect her family, friends, and village. Their reasons were all diffrent, but they were for a good cause and Sakura didn't think anyone was more excited about becoming a ninja than herself and of course Naruto. This was probably what half the conversations were centered on, but it was probably one of the easiest subjects to talk about. The whole day went on like this, with everyone laughing and conversing with each other.
Hours had gone by and each time more and more people were leaving to go home, or go train, and even go on late missions. By the time 6 o'clock came there were only three people left sitting in the meadow: Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. The three of them were just sitting and talking and of course Naruto had started the topic, which was about what they were going to do when they became ninja. " When I become a ninja I'm going to get everyones respect and then I'm goin to become the 5th Hokage, BELIEVE IT!" exclaimed the hyper active blonde, "hey what bout you Sasuke-teme?" Yes even at the young age of 5 Naruto called Sasuke, his best friend, teme, even Sasuke called Naruto dobe, that was just how their friendship worked. "Dobe," was Sasukes answer to Narutos question, "fine, I'll just ask Sakura-chan," Naruto said while giving a little bit of a pout. Sakura giggled at their actions, wether they knew it or not in a way Sakura thought of them as her brothers that would of course always make her laugh. After finally getting over her giggle fit she answered Narutos unasked question, "well, when I become a ninja I'm going to protect my family, friends, and village, so I don't have to worry about losing anyone," while saying this Sakura was looking off in the distance, like she was in another place. Sasuke and Naruto looked at Sakura in complete awe, sometimes they thought that Sakura was the smartest person in the whole village and that no one could ever be as smart as her, ever, but that was just them and maybe that was because they spent all there time together the three of them, because in a way they were all the same, they weren't sure how that worked, but somehow they just knew they were all alike.
It was about 9 o'clock when they had decided it was time to go home and since Naruto had a little crush on Sakura, he asked if he souls walk her home and at the same time forced Sasuke to come with them. Sakura agreed even though it always ended with her walking Naruto and Sasuke to their homes instead of them walking her to her home, she didn't really mind she did it all the time after all. After walking Naruto home it was just her and Sasuke, and if truth be known Sakura did have a tiny crush on him, but it was only a little one nothing big like her friend Ino had on him, they were friends after all, her and Sasuke. It was mostly silent until Sakura decided to break the silence, " um, so Sasuke why do you want to become a ninja, since you never answered Naruto," she waited quietly and just when she was about to ask him again Sasuke answered " so I can avenge my clan." "Oh, I guess I kind of understand that, I mean if my sibling murdered my clan I would want to avenge them to." Sasuke gave a curt nod in agreement, but Sakura continued as if she hadn't seen the nod " but I'm not sure I could kill my sibling, especially if they were dear to me, but I really would want to avenge my family..." she trailed and looked like she was having some inner turmoil and then all of the sudden she gave Sasuke a hug. The young Uchiha was caught off gaurd by the hug and just let her continue to hug her "w-what was that for?" Sasuke asked her after a minute of silence and was glad that Sakura couldn't see his light blush.
Sakura didn't answer at first seeming suprised that she had given him the hug in the first place, so they began walking again. After a minute or two of silence she answered Sasukes question "It must be so hard to live like that with that huge decision to make, of who's most precious to you, so I thought that I'd let you know that you're not alone and you have friends that care about what you do and what happens to you." She was blushing a little, after all it was kind of embarrising admitting this to him, but she knew that he needed to hear it from one of his good friends. They were already at his house and just before Sasuke went in he did something so unsuspected that Sakura had to make sure she really was awake. Sasuke Uchiha had given her a smile as thanks, it was a weak smile and really looked kind of like one of his smirks, but Sakura knew better he had smiled at her. Sakura had walked home in a daze, still amazed at what Sasuke had done, and even a little dazed at what she herself had done to Sasuke. She entered her home quietly the lights were out which meant her parents were still on a mission and weren't back yet, she wasn't hungry so instead she went upstairs and took a bath. About thirty minutes later Sakura was dressed and ready for bed, suddenly Sakura realized just how tired she was and quickly got into bed going over the days events. 'This was the best day ever, I can't wait until next year when we're all ninja, Sakura then fell into a peaceful slumber, anxious for what would lie ahead for her and her friends.

Yeah, I know it's unreasonably short, but I want to see what you all think of it so far. Don't worry there will definately be more drama in the next chapter. Oh and there was a little bit of SasuSaku in here and if your a huge ItaSaku fan than just ignore it, because it wasn't intended to be a SasuSaku and if you are a SasuSaku fan than you can aknowledge that there was one in here. Again sorry it was so short please review and I will accept all reviews. While you're reviewing tell me if you want to continue with this story.
bye bye
