Chapter One

Itachi's Point of view...

I sighed. It was so like my mother to go full out for a birthday party. Here the whole village was invited. How she was able to get a place big enough for it was beyond me. I looked around trying to spot her to thank her and found her with the Hokage, not surprising since they were old friends despite the clans rivalry. What did surprise the Uchiha heir was the man attached to the Hokage. Jiraiya, the man who was one of the legendary Sannin. I stood there for a moment. Blinking once. Twice. And a third time before I turned around and headed towards the bar where I found my elder cousin and best friend, Uchiha Shisui. The older Uchiha was surronded by many woman not that he minded. Shisui was a bit of a playboy when it came to woman, he was different from the other Uchiha's. Where they all remained emotionless, Shisui always had a smile upon his face and a cherry comment. I sighed, this boy though older was going to cause trouble if he didn't stop.

"There he is ladies! The man of the hour! My little cousin!" yelled Shisui as he grabbed me in a head lock, the woman swooning over us both. My eye twitched slightly. Since my mother invited everyone from the village all the Uchiha fangirls were here. Of cause since Shisui was a play boy he didn't have many, my oboto had much more than him since he was younger but not as much I had. Being an ANBU captain at the age of thirteen, I had many more fangirls. Most who were older than I or Shisui.

"Say cousin, why don't you dance with one of these lovely ladies?" Shisui smirked at me and the woman started swooning and arguing over which one was going to dance with me first.

"Hn." I looked around trying to find my mother, she was the one who put him up to this I was sure of it. There was no one else who wanted their son to get with a woman quicker than my mother.

"Ne, Sasuke-kun! Quickly before they spot you!" yelled a voice. I smiled in my mind knowing who it was, but wondering why she was here. Even if she was my ototo's teammate she would never come here. So why? I escaped Shisui's hold and in the corner of my eye I saw her. The Pinkette Sweetheart of Konoha, the apprentice of the Hokage and a member of Team Seven, Haruno Sakura.

I smirked, she was pulling my ototo towards the other Rookie Nine, her hair was in a messy bun with a few strands escaping the clips, her dress was red and strapless revealing a fraction of her back for all to see, I came up to her knees and had a slit on her right side revealing her right thigh, her high boots reaching her knees. There was too little skin showing for my liking not that I would ever admit it to any one. But along with the fan girls that belonged with to the Uchiha's came the fan boys who belonged to Sakura.

I watched as she and her friends left the hall to the gardens. Grumbling to myself I looked to see my cousin staring at me with a raised eyebrow, shrugging I headed back to the bar.

Sakura's Point of view...

"Come on Sasuke! Everyone's going to leave you to the fan girls if you don't hurry up!" the Uchiha started walking a little faster to keep up with our group knowing we would do that to him. I took the time to look around the Uchiha garden. This place resembled a little of heaven, the moon's light shining softly against the plants giving them a soft glow as if saying they too were alive on this night. We carried on walking until we got to the lake that we claimed as our own, a Sakura tree on the edge of the lake and a few weeping willows surrounding it. The moon reflected off the surface of the lake and everything was peace full.

I took a seat at the base of the willow just outside the rest and watched as Rookie Nine got comfortable. Hinata and Naruto were sitting near the base of a willow, his arm around her shoulder and her head laying against him, it was good knowing that they had finally gotten together after all this time. Choji and Shikamaru were both laying against the grass watching the clouds pass through the sky. Neji, Lee and Tenten were seated on top of the bolder that was near the lake. Kiba was up in the tree with Akamaru curled up at the bottom of the tree near Shino. Sasuke was seated near another willow with Ino sitting near him, he had gotten use to Ino and didn't think of her as a fan girl as much as he use to. Boy was he wrong.

I felt someone walking towards me, turning around I saw Sai looking a little awkward I smiled at him patting the ground next to me, he got the hint and sat next to me. He was still getting use the the whole emotion thing and it was slightly funny at times but annoying at others. He whipped out his drawing pad and started sketching the scene before him, I watched as his movements as they started out slow then started to get faster with the more detail he put into them.

Looking up to the moon I caught sight of movement.

"We need to go in, Kaa-san will be upset if we aren't there for the dancing and cake." slowly one by one we started getting up, and slowly we headed back to the party. I was pulled back and looked to see Ino slowing down but still staying with the group.

"Ne, Sakura. Could you help me something?" I looked to my best friend, wondering why she called me Sakura and not the usual Bill-bored of Forehead. I nodded to her and she let a sigh of relief. This wasn't good. I could tell, Ino started telling me about how she wanted to sneak in and find Sasuke's diary.

Itachi's Point of view...

I caught sight of pink and red and turned to see Sakura. A small smirk on my face since Uchiha's don't smile.

"Oh! She's cute!" I turned to glare at Shisui who was freely swooning over Sakura. He smirked at me and headed off to a random girl pulling her over to me. "Itachi was wondering if you would dance with him Ayame." I looked up at my cousin then to the girl who was- Was that drool? I felt my eye twitched, Ayame started to blush and pulled me to the dance floor and we started dancing. At a safe distance apart.

I looked to find my cousin but was stopped with a giggle, I turned to see Shisui with Sakura. My eyes narrowed as he bowed to her and she bowed back before taking his hand and started dancing. My grip tightened on the girl who I was dancing with and she let out a soft ouch before pushing her body closer to me. I watched as my cousin's hand started traveling south down Sakura's back, he lifted his head to look at me and smirked as I glared at him. Sakura giggled again at what Shisui whispered into her ear. This was going to be along night.

Sakura's Point of view...

"Ino, I don't think this will work! What if they're home?" this was a bad idea. I just knew it was.

"They're all at a clan meeting Sakura. No one will be here!" I looked to my blonde friend hoping for once she was right and that I wouldn't regret this later. We walked in through the back door and headed upstairs where the rooms were. Hiding our chakra we headed upstairs half way up we heard the front door open and sensed Uchiha Itachi's chakra signature. Ino and I looked to each other knowing if he found us we were dead.

Silently running upstairs and into the nearest room we breathed a sigh of relief that was shortly lived due to the fact that the door knob started to move. Heading to the bathroom that was connected to the room Ino and I glared at each other. Her stupid idea was going to get us killed.

I peaked out the door and saw Itachi loosen his hair and pull off his jacked and shirt. I felt the heat rise to my face as he stood there shirtless. Backing away from the door with a hand to my mouth, Ino looked at me questioningly before looking herself.

Itachi's Point of view...

I knew she was there, but so was another and soon I couldn't help but smirk as they headed into my room. This was all to good. Walking slowly, giving them time to relax I entered my room and began taking my jacket off along with my shirt. A slight rise in chakra told me both of them saw this. Walking to the bathroom I opened the door to see two blushing girls covering their mouths.

"May I help you?" I blinked. They blinked.

"Well, we were... we were...," started the blonde.

"You are?"

"Ino. Yamanaka Ino." I nodded and looked at Sakura.

"Why are you here?"

"Well... you see... we were, we were. Sakura was here to give you a gift!" yelled the blonde, Sakura snapped out of her daze and glared at Ino.

"Really? So you weren't here to find my, as you call in, diary?" oh yes, I heard you talking about my brother. I smirked as the blonde gapped at me like a fish out of water.
