In which everything is reversed between Sakura and Sasuke. I have wanted to do a body swap thing for a long time, but then this idea hit me and I was like. O.O holy crap yes! Lol so lets see how this will go ne? Can't guarantee anything promising, but eh hope you'll give it some what of a chance ne?
:Warning: now since this is messing with the original story line and all, the characters most likely will be OOC just as a warning. I'll try to make them some what themselves but since this will be switching Sakura and Sasuke basically I can't promise they will be exactly the same. If your wondering how I'm 'reversing' them you'll just have to wait and find out. It's only Sakura, Sasuke switching lives basically after all, poor Naruto oh well! This is Non-massacre if you haven't guessed.
NOTE! ~IMPORTANT~ NOTE:By the way, I know I'm writing a lot of new story's and your getting mad at me for it because then it will take longer for a update for the others and the such, but my internet I am waiting to be shut of because this thing called money is missing from my wallet lol, so thus I'm posting as much as I can which meant the stories I wrote a chapter for but put off for a while because I wanted to write at least a few chapters before posting, but with this fic and the other two new ones I'm posting, for this reason alone, so don't get mad at me just enjoy the fic's ne?
~~Kyo~~
Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto! And I'm sorry for changing the story line! Lol not really.
Chapter one: Life.
Ever since he had been young he had been chasing after his elder brother. Ever since he was young he had wanted to run after him, as if like in snow, tracing his steps perfectly.
Sasuke had long ago learned he would never be as great as his elder brother. Could never be perfect and could never get the proud look or words from this father. He could, how ever, not hate his brother as much as he still craved the attention his elder brother got.
His elder brother did not want the attention however. His brother always being aloof and liked his alone time to read and study. What he needed to study for when he could go no higher in rank then ANBU was past him, but he continued to get stronger and Sasuke had no choice but to continue to gain strength as well to maybe one day gain his father and clans approval. His elder brother would be clan head one day and the pressures of the clan rested on him, and Sasuke did not once envy Itachi for that responsibility. Sasuke could marry anyone he wanted one day and Itachi would have to marry whom the Elders of their clan chose.
Sasuke had been placed on his genin team with an idiot blond haired kid he later found out held the nine tailed fox, and a beautifully quiet girl he had tried to ignore, though she smiled at them and spoke with them she did so rarely. He found it odd. When he had first met her he had been stuck with a familiarity of knowing her when he had never met her before. She had remind him of Itachi his elder brother. Her gaze intent on the work at hand yet serious and aloof. She almost always had a book in hand reading some thing or another be it medical, which he found her interested in and later in life she had become a medic, or some jutsu he had never heard of.
She had perfect chakra control and she had been a part of a clan that had been destroyed in the war. All but her. He had no clue what it would feel like the be left alone with no family, being the last of the clan. Apparently the Haruno clan was an enigma. Always had been more or less a 'kept' secret of Konoha. A clan strictly kept to the village's knowledge of existence of abilities.
The Haruno's had been a clan of Shinobi and Kunoichi with perfect chakra control and chakra to spare more so then any Shinobi or Kunoichi could be originally born to. A almost noble clan that had not been too proud to mingle with the towns people of Konoha or live among them instead of behind clan walls like most other clans. Haruno's were said to be always kind and giving. Always loving, and most very beautiful with unique hair and eyes.
He had only known this much about her long gone clan from his elder brother. Itachi had known a few Haruno's and had been close to Sakura's father who had been his sensei when he was young.
Sakura as long as he had known her had always been pushing her self much like he did, but he could never tell what fueled her. Her family, her entire clan had been killed off by people in the war, no one person responsible for their deaths and so it could not be revenge she was after. She seemingly had no reason to push herself so hard other then just to do so. A masochist perhaps.
He respected her and at first had not known how strong she was, she had been neglected by Kakashi-sensei because he had thought her just a simple girl like most who didn't wish to be taught the ninja ways, because most girls did not. She had always been quiet and never complained about Kakashi not showing her special attention. She had never seem to care when he taught Sasuke Chidori or when he helped Naruto find his most powerful jutsu or when he could no longer teach them any more send Naruto off to Jiraiya and train Sasuke on his own. He had never tried to help her learn anything new or powerful and never tried to get her any special training.
If Sasuke had been treated as such he wouldn't like Kakashi at all, but she didn't seem to hate him and Kakashi was never mean regardless of his neglect. Sasuke had always wondered why Kakashi never took her clan background into consideration but it was only until later that he truly realized how 'secret' the Haruno clan was kept. It was thought the entire Haruno clan were simply a civilian clan, that her parents were simple civilians, traveling merchants when in reality her entire clan was gone.
Sasuke had long ago found that his elder brother knew more about the girl and her family then he himself did as her teammate. He vowed from that day to learn more about her then even his brother. As if this one thing he could surely beat his brother in.
Sakura regardless of not being showed attention to by Kakashi, in getting taught what needed, never lacked in skill on missions, which seemed to surprise even Kakashi himself who had never thought her to hold much skill let alone such brains and power. Apparently Sakura was the genius of her clan as well, well had they still been alive. She was in more ways like Itachi then ever to Sasuke.
Sasuke had realized that all those scrolls and books she was always reading on medical and jutsu, and the such, taught her more then she had ever been taught by person. She had learned all she had by reading alone. It was impressive and once Kakashi realized this he had showed her more attention, attention Sakura did not seem to care for one way or the other.
Sakura had searched out the current Hokage and asked her to train under her in the medical field in which Tsunade had agreed and Sakura had quickly learned all she could even surpassing the Hokage in medical skill and knowledge. Few knew of Sakura's clan background, but all knew of her impressive brains and impressive learning capabilities as well as skills.
Now years later in the eve of her eighteenth day of birth he watched her train in the night alone. It was still cool out being in the spring months but warm enough to be out in this ungodly hour of the night alone with a tank top and those little black shorts that always clung to her. She had usually kept a red skirt on top of them, to hide how tight they truly were, but tonight no skirt. No binding holding down breasts, he had not know where so large. Her clothes showed every curve do to the tightness and the sweat. He had never watched her train alone before, and never in the dead of the night.
Don't get him wrong he had not been stalking her or following her, he had just been out for a walk. Okay he had been stalking his brother, trying to see where he went in this ungodly hour only to lose him and wind up here spying on her as she trained.
He found it strange that she wore so little yet had a binding around her right arm all the way down her arm to her hand as if wounded, but he had seen her arm many times on mission when she wore short sleeves so why now? He put the question away for another time.
He had to say she was extremely beautiful as the Haruno clan was supposedly known for with her long pink hair reaching her waist tied back high off her neck whirling around as she through kunai and Shuriken into targets around the training area moving with grace and speed of a Kunoichi, or a dancer with elegance he had never before seen from a woman, only his brother.
She had curves that were to be stared at like any hormonal seventeen year old would do in his place. Naruto even appreciated her figure as well as most of Konoha including their perverted sensei. Well Kakashi wasn't really their sensei anymore considering Naruto and Sasuke were Jounin and Sakura was supposedly for some reason Chunin. Not for lack of skill he knew, but she seemed to not want to be Jounin, just yet she had told their ex-sensei Kakashi.
Sakura was always pleasant to be around, for the most part she was quietly reading her scrolls or book and if not she spoke when spoken to or if she felt something needed to be said.
Sasuke was currently standing behind a tree just outside the clearing watching her as if some love sick fanboy, like Lee or the such. He just couldn't help the raw feeling pulling at his heart as he watched her train alone. Watched her train in the middle of the night when she had work at the hospital in the morning. Those jade eyes were alight with serious concentration and he could have watched her all night if he could.
Unfortunately he didn't have all night he had a mission in the morning with Naruto and Kakashi. Sakura rarely joined them on missions due to how important she was at the hospital and her rank, though everyone knew she could have taken and passed the exams to be a Jounin any time.
Sasuke was about to turn back reluctantly from this rare and erotic sight when he felt his brothers chakra approach. He had been hiding his but he stiffened just the same. Itachi would probably feel his chakra anyway, heck he wasn't sure if Sakura could or not. But he was always curious as to where Itachi was going at ungodly hours and he was about to find out, hopefully.
And as if summoned by thought, his elder brother walked into the clearing, as if it wasn't almost four am, or as if he wasn't coming into the training area to see Sakura in such attire so desirable, but that was besides the point. Was training what Itachi did as well all the time in the night? If so why did he come here simply to see who was up as well? Was this the ground he usually trained on? It was close to the Uchiha district after all.
He watched on as his brother walked purposely and gracefully to her. She had stopped training and had walked to a nearby tree where her bag lay and pulled out a towel to wipe the sweat from her face and back of her neck. He couldn't hear them but he could see them and their body language. His brother's form seemed relaxed almost as if he were familiar with her like Sasuke himself was, though Sasuke had rarely seen them near each other, though they had met, Sasuke was sure Itachi had never spent great amounts of time if any with his teammate.
Sakura didn't seem surprised to see him either, but Sasuke didn't necessarily think they we're meeting up to train together or any other random thoughts popping into his head like a secret relationship.
Of course Sasuke watched as they said a few words to each other obviously a greeting as they nodded to each other and exchanged words then the oddest thing happened. His brother who usually never smiled let alone at females smile at Sakura as if she had said the most amusing thing ever. He dared not get closer to know what they said he was already pushing it.
XXxxXXxxXXX
She of course knew exactly when Sasuke had waltzed upon her, knew he had been watching for a good ten minutes, for what ever reason, before Itachi walked into the clearing. She had met Itachi when she had joined ANBU, ' secretly' joined of course.
She and Itachi had not been on the same team at first, but they had trained together like this for a couple nights a week. Why nights? Well Other then Itachi's insomnia, Sakura usually had work in the day and they both usually were up. She didn't sleep well either. They understood each other well enough, and found to enjoy each others company even in silence.
Though Itachi strangely spoke a lot more with her then she had ever seen him talk to anyone else, and she found herself talking more so with him. Itachi knew about her clan and their death. He knew she had been the clan's 'treasure' like he was to his clan. They had been in the same boat and they understood each other more so then most would.
She had joined ANBU around the time Naruto and Sasuke were taking the Chunin exams. She had been propositioned by Tsunade and she had agreed. She had passed on the first try as Itachi had. Itachi had been in charge of teaching her the ropes, so to say, being the first in command of ANBU. Neji Hyuuga the second, well a few years later he was second in command. He had become a Chunin the same time Sasuke and Naruto had, but he progressed quickly like Shikamaru Nara.
Geniuses of their clans they all seemed to be heading the similar direction like Sakura and Itachi had.
Itachi had been impressed with her skills not only as a Kunoichi or a Haruno, but as a medic and assigned her to be the fourth of his squad. Shino being the only other familiar face at the time in said squad except Itachi. You are really only allowed telling your direct family of your status as ANBU or in most inner clans the Elders knew, but that was it. Since Sakura's parents were dead and thus her clan she had told no one only those in ANBU, and Tsunade and Shizune knew. Not even Kakashi or her other teammates Naruto or Sasuke. She had kept it as it should be secret.
She walked to her bag as Itachi entered the clearing heading toward her. She pulled out a towel and wiped the sweat. Itachi nodded his head in a greeting she nodded back.
" Uchiha-san." She said as she would say in public when addressing him. Captain when in ANBU.
Itachi frowned and snorted out something.
" What have I said Sakura? Just call me Itachi when we're alone." She rolled her eyes.
" If you haven't noticed we are not alone." Though she was sure he had noticed even from a few miles away. Itachi smirked at her as if found that hilarious.
" Aaa, So we are not." He then gazed down her body with onyx eyes and then a raised an eye brow when he met her jade eyes, which were curiously locked on his.
" This is unusual for you." She shrugged she usually did take of the skirt he meant the tank top and her cheat bindings being off. She usually always wore her breast strapped they usually got in the way when not and attracted unwanted attention as well.
" Ah, well there is an interesting story to that." She said and he blinked as an indication he wanted to hear more.
" Well I was enjoying a dip in the spring at the bath house and when I returned to the locker room to dress my shirt and bindings were gone. I only have one in which I wash before sleeping, since it was late when this happened I could not shop for another." He made a face that clearly said he was amused at her story and slightly concerned for her as well. He was in a way as protective as her teammates Sasuke, Naruto, Sai, and Kakashi.
" I shall accompany you home after training then." He said. She smiled just a little at his sly hint. His protectiveness he tried to hide from her.
" Hai." She said looking away with a small grin. Itachi grunted and then spoke again.
" Should we start?" She had work in the morning and he had a clan meeting later in the morning that would no doubt exhaust him.
" Ah, shouldn't we do something about Sasuke?" She asked not looking to the boys obvious position. Itachi seemed to think about it for a second before he shrugged his large shoulders.
" If you are worried he will think something or become suspicious." Itachi said casually. He meant if she were concerned he would think they were in a relationship or that she were actually in ANBU.
" It's not so much that. He has a mission in the morning and regardless of how late Kakashi is getting there Sasuke needs his sleep he shouldn't be out this late." Itachi's face tightened in an emotion he tired to hide but she clearly saw as curiosity.
" He should know better then the follow me rather then go to bed before a mission it is his own fault." Itachi said challenging her with his eyes as if saying to say something different against him as he was his elder brother. Sakura smirked and he knew the smirk well and he feared he would not win this argument.
" Partly, but can you blame him for wanting to know what your doing. It is very odd for someone to leave at the same time many times a week in the dead of night, more so when you tell him nothing. He needs his sleep yes and I'm worried if he does not he will be injured while on his mission." Itachi narrowed his eyes but remained silent saying she had won the argument after all.
" If you are so worried about him send him off to bed with a good night kiss and if you'd like to tuck him in as well then read to him. I'll wait here for you." He mocked. She scowled at him.
" I wouldn't have to worry so much if you did." He scowled back. This wasn't unusual for them to get into an argument. They were much alike and had different views on things sometimes it was bound to happen. They however didn't hold a grudge or anything of the sort and usually they both had fun regardless of the disagreement.
Sakura crossed her arms under her breasts only furthering emphases on the size, as her arms did a good job of propping them up more and framing them like round plump mounds in a picture. Itachi had seen her with out her bindings to hold her breasts down before many times on missions, and the such they were teammates, but he had always enjoyed the site.
Sakura made a face at him then walked to Sasuke who had to have been panicking at getting caught. He watched the whole thing from his spot in the clearing.
If they waited too much longer she would have to call off training for tonight she had work and it was never good to deprive her of all of her sleep in the night.
He had been late getting here after all. He had tried to lose Sasuke with no prevail because he had ended up where he was headed anyway.
XXxxXXxxX
Sasuke couldn't tell what they were talking about but he could tell that they were arguing by the face his brother made at her and then the narrowed eyes. Then all of a sudden Sakura turned toward the place he hid behind the tree. He couldn't really run she had to know he was there, but maybe she was walking in his direction for another matter not because she knew he was there. So he stayed put until he was sure she really had seen him.
" Sasuke you have a mission in the morning you should be home sleeping." She said softly. Her voice usually was soft unless she was angry then it was deep and dangerously sexy. She sounded motherly and he almost blushed before he caught himself. The sincerity in her eyes lured him to her even more so. She really did care about him.
" What about you?" He boldly asked. She smiled at him a smile he had rarely seen. It was a smile more like Itachi's then he liked to admit. A amused and irritated smile.
" I'll return home shortly. I have business to attend to with your brother. He will be home shortly. I promise." She assured, though he wasn't so much worried about where his brother went or did but rather what he did with Sakura now.
" We'll talk later." Sasuke said turning. She smirked as he walked away. She then started her training with Itachi which only lasted and hour due to the lost time, he agreed to meet her in two nights early so they could make up lost time. Then he walked her home. ( Don't feel like writing out their spar.)
" Mother has been asking of you." Itachi stuck up conversation. Sakura smiled while she looked up at the dimming moon as the sun started to rise. Her face was still lit with gentle light.
" I have missed her. Is your father eating as he should?" She asked because not only did she care, but she was also the Uchiha districts personal doctor the Hyuuga's as well. Most of the other Clans had their own people in medical care. Few Uchiha's were medic's. Hinata was training to become a herbalist which really helped the hospital and Sakura all in all.
Sakura didn't so much mind being the main doctor for two entire clans. The Uchiha clan was just too proud to go to the hospital and the Hyuuga clan as well. Heck she had to drag Sasuke and Neji to the hospital when they get injured after a mission.
" Yes. He has taken your advice to heart. He would like to stay alive until I have a son or so he says." Sakura laughed softly in amusement. She wouldn't doubt it. Fugaku asked Itachi every time he walked into the door if he made a decision in a marriage mate, and if he'd knocked a girl up yet. Fugaku had asked him that when she walked into the house with him once and the look on Itachi's face made her laugh.
" Of course." Sakura said with a sly grin that made Itachi shake his head with a slightly amused smile.
It didn't take long to get to her apartment, one she had lived in since she was very young. She had lived by herself, done for herself, cooked for herself, cleaned by herself, for a very long time. She was use to being, living, alone. She waved at the door and he nodded and left as she walked into the building and to her room.

:The next day: Hospital:
It had been a very busy day and thus far Sakura was just now getting a break from it all. The moment she walked into the doors to work today she had been hauled off to heal a team that had just returned from a mission gone wrong.
Sakura had over all been over worked so early in the morning and only after two hours of sleep. She hoped the rest of the day was uneventful. Of course the second she thus thinks this someone just about busts her door down.
" Sakura-sama! Uchiha-sama has collapsed!" A young intern ran in yelling. Sakura stood immediately and disappeared with a quick poof to the Uchiha district. She had rightfully grabbed her bag before hand so had all she needed as she appeared in the Uchiha household. Mikoto jumped surprised at her appearance but wasted no time in rushing her to her husband.
Fugaku was lying in his bed sweating bullets, so to say, while his breathing was labored. Sakura went to work checking vitals, using her chakra to find the problem which she was then revealed was only a mild flu.
" It's alright Mikoto-san it is just the flu. Plenty of liquids, and this," Sakura handed her a little pouch full of a powder. " Hinata Hyuuga made this, it should keep his fever down as well as help clear his chest so he can breathe easier. You can put it into tea and make him drink it twice a day." Sakura then smiled in a reassuring way as the woman's dark eyes looked more relieved then anyone's she had ever seen.
Fugaku Uchiha has had a bit of problems which over all lead Sakura to thinking a heart attack is coming his way, thus she has him eating better, and keeping his stress down, this over all just scared her to death as well as Mikoto his wife. Sakura was terrified something would happen to the elder Uchiha. He was sometimes harsh and cruel but he was over all very kind to woman. Though strict on his sons, the elder man loved them and his family more then his own life.
While Fugaku slept, Mikoto took Sakura to the kitchen for lunch and some tea. Sakura accept more so because she was hungry and had not had lunch, but also because she adored Mikoto and enjoyed spending her little time she had with her.
Sakura did need to get back to work, but she also needed to eat as well and she had just been about to grab something to eat on her short peaceful break before this happened. So in a way this was a good thing. Fugaku wasn't in serious condition as she had feared and all was thus far well.
" Do you know when Sasuke is supposed to return from his mission Saku-chan?" Mikoto asked turning to Sakura and handing her a cup filled with sweet smelling tea. Sakura took a drink slowly and smiled.
" He should return tomorrow, but knowing Naruto they will return sometime tonight." Mikoto laughed softly.
" I'm grateful you can take care of my little boy Saku-chan, he needs someone to watch over him. I'm glad it can be you." Sakura flushed slightly at the elder woman's praise.
" No, no Mikoto-san. I'm grateful to have him as a friend. It's an honor to be trusted to watch over your son." Mikoto teared up but smiled none the less as she bowed her head to her.
" Saku-chan your so pleasant and sweet. I wish I would have had a daughter like you. I am glad you come visit me. If I had not had you to come see me I would have no one but those gossiping woman to talk with." Mikoto said waving her hand in the air to tease. Said woman were the Uchiha's older woman who always gossiped no matter who it was or what news it was about.
Sakura laughed.
" Thank you for allowing me to visit you Mikoto-san. If not for you I would not know many things. I thank you for that." Sakura bowed her head as Mikoto had done earlier. Mikoto blushed beautifully and smiled kindly but turned and went back to making Sakura something to eat.
Which happened to be a sandwich with Sakura gladly partook of gratefully. She stood to leave wanting to walk back to the hospital to walk off the food, rather to just a little more of a break after the day she was having.
" Sakura-chan." Mikoto-san called softly just as Sakura started out the door. Sakura turned back to look at the woman. Said woman held her hands in front of her chest in a nervous sort of way, that concerned Sakura slightly.
" Yes Mikoto-san?" Sakura asked unsure why the woman was being so unsure herself.
" Would you be so kind as to watch over Itachi as well?" Sakura smiled sweetly at the woman who looked even more unsure now. Sakura bowed deeply.
" Oh course Mikoto-san I would like nothing more." Mikoto smiled so brightly Sakura was almost taken by the elder woman's beauty. ( Why is this starting to sound like a Yuri I wonder?)
Sakura then took her leave walking quickly down the Uchiha streets toward the exit.
"Sakura!" Sakura flipped around to see Itachi who looked a bit surprised to see her in the district. He looked around for anyone who might be with her for the reason to why she was walking the Uchiha district alone. Usually she was escorted to and from but of course she was here so much.
He looked as exhausted as she must, and she was sure he was just a tired after those darn Elders and that darn clan meeting no doubt pushing him more to find a wife and make children.
" Ah Uchiha-san! Did you rest well?" Itachi nodded. He had only slept a little over an hour before Sasuke woke him with his mad dash out of the house after sleeping in late. He looked to her bag and raised an eye brow.
" House call?" He asked. She nodded.
" Your father seems to have caught the flu. It is only mild and he should be back to his feet in a few days." Itachi looked surprised again to hear about his father. He looked down at her in a weird way.
" I see." he said.
" Did you finish with the clan meeting?" Sakura asked making conversation. He nodded.
" We were just dismissed. Did you have lunch?" Sakura smiled.
" Your mother treated me." He nodded.
" In two days we will meet in the usual place just after sunset to make up for the time lost." Sakura nodded. He had said so as if she had forgotten, she had not.
" Alright, I need to get back." Sakura said and nodded her head to her captain before waving and walking away. Itachi watched her go with a contemplating look on his own face.
XxxxXXxxX
As soon as Sasuke returned to Konoha with Naruto and Kiba he sighed. He hadn't wanted to go out on a mission with the thoughts of Sakura alone with his brother on his mind. What could they be doing? Why were they training together so late at night? Why at all? Was Itachi teaching her as a request from the Hokage or Sakura herself? Were they just sparing?
He had never seen the two of them actually hang out, and they rarely spoke to each other when he saw them together, like at his own house or when they came across each other in the district or at the hospital or the such.
Yet they seemed more then just comfortable around each other and Itachi seemed to relax in her company, which meant Itachi had to know her, which meant then he also had to spend more time around her then Sasuke knew. Which then made him wonder about where, and when, they spent time together, how they became so closely acquainted. Sasuke knew he was missing something he just didn't know what exactly that thing he was missing was.

End chapter:
I know your sitting here wondering what the heck this is getting at why I wrote it and what I'm planning, also why I keep using Sasuke so much when I clearly don't like him lol. Well all those questions most likely will never be answered lol. Sorry. I don't know why I keep using Sasuke when I so clearly dislike him, maybe because I like causing him misery by liking Sakura when he will so obviously never get her? Or perhaps because he's easy to manipulate to do as I want? I don't know lol. Will this story get a plot? I'm not sure. I'm sure I'll come up with something in general for this other then just a reverse of lives here. And no it's not a big change but it is something ne? Lol
Am I actually getting an idea for where this will go? Yes actually. Is she going to end up with Sasuke, no, is she going to end up with Itachi, maybe but I have someone else in mind actually so maybe it would only be one-sided as I have said, haven't finished writing it so I don't know. You'll know a little bit after I find it out though!
Haha Anyway I guess I did answer those questions well anyway review and tell me what you think should happen next, what you think will happen, and how you like the story thus far. But either way it will be continued in due time lol. Any mistakes in grammar and or spelling are mine, my bad.
