A love that can never be...

an ItaSaku story

Sakura haruno, 17 years old, walked down the streets of Konohagakure, to deliver some paperworks to the two guards, kotetsu, and Izumo.

She wore her a green summertop, and light blue shorts, and pink sandals on her feet. her pale skin seemed to shine, and her pink hair was beautifully flying in the light breeze.

She was thinking of her olod crush, uchiha sasuke, who had been absent for over five yars now, and problaby had already died in the hands of Akatsuki, or orochimaru. But it didn't make the hope of the young kunoichi fall down the pitch of her stomach. She had a light fire, that told her that the boy... no, man, of her dreams would come to get her one day.

sigh... but why would he? he's been gone for five yars, why should he come now? Since he even told her that she was annoying, why would she still love im? why did she still have that hope, when naruto, her hyper teammate so continuisly asked her out, but she declined. Well, he had Hinata Hyuga now, and sakura was happy for her. She had noticed Hinata had been around their training grounds when they were training, since kakashi had quit, and yamato had gone to be their teammate, together with sai, she had seen so many strange things, so Hinata, sneaking on them wasn't a surprise.

sakura was su busy thinking, that she didn't notice she had gone the wrong way, and now looked up, to see where she was. She seemed to be in a dark ally, but it was doors, so someone maybe lived here, or had.

She couldn't think of someone wanting to live so dark, so she walked out, but suddenly, a man stood in front of her. Due to knowledge, she knew there was a bad thing, meeting a man in a dark corner, alone.

she also knew there was running a man, who had used a few women tha last month, and three of the Violated women had used , she wasn't planning to become a victim, sho she tried to walk past him, but he stopped her, and stood in front of her.

She couldn't see his face, noly his bodyshape. he was tall, and mushular, and he looked strong. he was aroung 180 cm, maybe less, and he had long hair, loose. sakura couldn't see clear, but she easily could identify a smile on the man's lips.

sakura once again tried to get past, but the man took a hold of her arms, shich were holding the papers she was to deliver. she finally lost patience, and tried to talk to him.

"Please, would you let me go, and do my job"? She asked, and struggled out of his grip. he only smirked wider, and gripped harder. this was his bad mistake.

sakura concentrated some chakra in her foot, and suddenly, the man kneeled down, groaning, his hands on his crotch. sakura put her foot down, smirking, and kicking him in the gut. he gripped her foot, and she fell to the ground.

She heard clothes rip, and noticed it was her clothes. She now only had her shirt, which was teared, and her shorts, who the man tried to pull down. She tried to kick him once again, but felt she couldn't. She looked at her foot, and gasped.

it was a little blue, glowing line on her foot. A chakra rope. That explained why she couldn't move. he finally got her shorts off, and went for the rest of her shirt. her hand was suddenly connecting to his jaw, and he groaned. She noticed that his eyes glared, but she still couldn't see a colour, or identify the man. She cuickly put her shortsd back on, and released the chakra rope, and sicked him once again. This time, he fell unconcious.

sakura stood up, and walked over to the man. She dragged him out, and looked at his face. he was tall, and handsome, she had to admit. His hair was pale brown, Like milk chocoalte, and his skin was pale, but shiny, almost like hers.

His shirt was a t-shirt, and it was green, with the Suna symbol on it. his pants were ripped, and he wore both a bracelet and a necklace. the necklace was very beauitful, and there was a ball, a purple crystal ball, almost like gypgies used. she liked it so much, that she took it off him, and put it on herself. The chair was of gold, and sakura liked how it shone in the sun. then, she clipped the clip, and it fit so perfectly around her neck, like it was magical.

' i wonder if this is a male necklace, it seems to fit a woman more' she thought, and looked at the bracelet. it was just plain, brown, plaited rope, and a blue little pearl inbroded. She decided to take the man to Tsunade, and report him.

Tsunade was in her office, looking through reports, when her student, Sakura came in, carrying a man on her small shoulders. She wondered why Sakura brought him there, but decided it was better to let Sakura explain.

"This man, i think, is the man who have violated five women, ma'am" sakura said, and let the man fall to the ground. tsunade stared at her student, and wondered why Sakura beated him up. sakura seemed to read her teacher's face, cause' she amswered, like tsunade had asked out loud.

"He tried to corner me in a dark alley, and i didn't wanted to, so i knocked him out, and decided to report him" sakura said, and kicked the man.

"very well, Sakura. I will have Ibiki over here, and he can look at him. Thank you" tsunade answered. Sakura smiled, and went away, back to the alley, to pick up the papers, who, luckily, were still there.

"well, that was a job well done. i think i'll eat some ramen today" sakura said out loud to herself, and went to the two guards.

"well,well, if it isn't tsunade's student, lady Haruno" kotetsu joked. sakura smiled, and Izumo smirked, and took the papers from sakura's arms. "thanks, Sakura-san" he said, and bowed a little.

"I will be on my way, if lady tsunade asks for me, i'll be either home, or at Ichiraku's, ok?" Sakura said, and the two chunins nodded, and sakura walked back.

When she came to the ramed shop, she wasn't surprised to see the blone teammate of her's, Naruto Uzumaki, already eating a fifth bowl of the meal. sakura looked, and saw the shopkeeper's daughter, Ayame, and said her order. Naruto looked up from his food.

"Hi, Sakura-chan!" Naruto greeted, and waved with his chopsticks. sakura sat next to him, and smiled. Naruto had become so tall now, he was soon as long as Yamato. He had worked out, since he had muscles that showed very much now, even under that orange and black jacket, that he so stubbornly still wear.

"well, what's the news, Naruto? how is it going with Hinata?" Sakura asked, And Naruto slurped down a mouthful of ramen, before answering.

"Right now, she's taking care of her sister, Hanabi, who's bedridden with a cold, so she stays and nurses her, and Neji is also by her side" naruto told her. Sakura smiled, remembering Neji Huyga, the Hyuga prodigy. He, right now, was engaged to tenten, but she wanted to wait a few years before the marriage. but Sakura had seen Tenten, looking hungrily at Neji when he trained, like she couldn't wait.

"how's it with Ino, and Sai?" naruto asked Sakura, and she told him that Ino was on a mission, and that Sai was somewhere, she didn't know where. Naruto smiled, and Ayame placed Sakura's pork ramen in front of her.

"By the way, you know the raper, that has been around for some weeks now?" naruto nodded. "I caught him" Sakura said, and naruto choked on his noodles. When he could breath normally, he just stared at her.

"He didn't hurt you, right!" naruto asked. Sakura told him what had happened, and naruto was almost running way when he hears he tried to rape Sakura, but he calmed down when Sakura said it was alright.

"relax, i wouldn't let him hurt me, if he would, i would just hit him so hard, his dream to create a family will be trashed" Sakura joked, but naruto's eyes narrowed still. she waved her hand to reassure him she was kidding, and Naruto calmed down.

Sakura paid for her ramed, and ate it slowly, while naruto told her all about what he had done. then, suddenly, she heard a shout of joy. it couldn't be no other that Rock Lee, the spandex-wearing ninja, who had a crush on her a few years ago.

Lee had found a girlfriend, and Sakura thought it as a good choice. her name was Midari, And she had a hobby to train, and help people. She semed to be the perfect match for Lee. She was good looking also. Lee always tried to impress her, and he was a gentleman towards her. She always tried to help him the best she could, and they were preparing for getting married. Lee had asked Sakura for advise on how you proposed to a woman, so Sakura had given him some. She hoped he had proposed yet.

Lee sat down next to Sakura, and sighed. he had a smile, so something was good.

"Hi, Lee. How are you today?" Sakura asked kindly. Lee looked at her, and shot her a toothy grin. "Everyhting's all right, Sakura-san. he and Midari is getting married in a few months, and she wants to be Pregnant soon" Lee told her. naruto "yo"ed, and waved. lee greeted him back, and did a thumbs-up to him.

"Well, i feel like going to the woods for a while" Sakura announced. lee and naruto looked at her. naruto smiled.

"sakura, if you want to, i can pay for your ramen" Naruto offered, but Sakura declined. "I'm allright, naruto, eat yours, and don't worry about me" She said, and paid.

"Good-bye, Sakura-san" lee said, and Sakura waved back, and smiled. She started to walk outside of Konoha, and came to the woods, a bit outside the gates. The sun was so hot, she started sweating. She pushed up the arms on her red shirt she had put on before she had gone to ichiraku, and straitened the blue skirt. She walked deeper into the forest, and looked at the green trees, and the leaves, waving in the wind. She smelled some flowers.

"wonder if these flowers matches with pink?" Sakura said to herself, and picked a white flower, and picked up a pink one, and looked. they matched. She put the white flower in her hair. She had decided to regrow her hair, so her hair was now long, and it was tied up in a bun on the top of her head, so her neck wouldn't get sweaty.

Then she heard a rustle of leaves. She looked to the bush, but it was still. She threw a rock into it, and heard a grunt. it was a male voice who grunted. She threw a Kunai, too, to be on the safe side. She didn't hear anything, everyhting was still. The wind blew on her bangs, and made her vision blurry, so she stroked the strands of hair away from her face. She saw a silhuette, standing up. he was a man, easily a man. he was about 170 ch tall, and his hair was long, but this sime, it was tied to a ponytail.

She gasped, the man wore a ripped cloak, and these was no doubt, there was red clouds on it. the cloak as black, and the man wore a forehead protector, with the leaf symbol on it. but it had a long, scratched line over it. Crimson eyes with black fots glared at her, and a frown on the man's face.

this man, was Uchiha Itachi.
