And also there is this thing you should probably know - I'm not from England, America or some other english speaking country, so my english isn't perfect. So when you find any kind of mistake in this text you can just let me know and I'll also improve my english knowledge...
But enough talking for now!

CHAPTER 1 - The end

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAArgh!" The silence in dark and deep forest was disturbed with breathtaking woman's scream. "AAAAAAAAAAAA!" Again and again.

Itachi turned around and listened. Those cries were coming from the middle of a forest, exactly the opposite direction than he and Kisame, his Akatsuki partner, were heading to. "Come on, Itachi. We must hurry, Pein is waiting..." Spoke Kisame and throw him an anxcious glance. Itachi turned around again and was ready to continue their journey back to the base when he heard that scream again. And this time he couldn't just ignore it. He turned away from Kisame and started approaching quickly that place few kilometres ahead.

Sakura was on her knees, holding her neck screaming, because it hurt. Darn, it hurt like hell. She didn't know why exactly she was screaming so hard, when it obviously wouldn't change a thing, but that pain was throbbing and crippling and each new wave of pain made her scream even louder. Her breath was ragged and irregular, but she was unable to do anything even though she knew that if she'd just sit there she'd be dead in no time. Because right in front of her was standing the most wanted shinobi in whole Konoha. Orochimaru.

Said ninja smiled when that pretty pink haired girl fell on her knees and cried. Her pain brought him pleasure. This was the first time he felt something like this - he felt a bond between them. And it was a bond of pain. He stepped forward towards that little kunoichi in front of him and was grinning creepily as he grabbed her chin and forced her to look in his eyes. Her eyes were beautiful and wide and had strange emerald-like color. Although she was shaking in agony her eyes stayed dry and without single tear as she watched him hatefully. Oh, how she was stubborn and oh, just how much he liked it. The bigger her will is, the more fun he will have by breaking it. "So this is that famous Sakura Haruno of the Leaf... The student of two rather powerful ninjas - good old Tsunade and Kakashi Hatake, the copy nin. What a combination..." For a while he looked like he was deeply in thought but soon he came back to himself and paid attencion towards Sakura again. His expressing of attention contained licking Sakura's cheek and then being amused by her disgustful glare she shot him. "Now, now, don't worry my dear. It won't hurt much longer..." he false comforted her when another painful scream came out. "After all, many shinobi before you have survived the pain of my curse mark..." Now he grinned again. Sakura knew that Orochimaru's curse mark can survive only a few from thousand and only those who are strong. Very strong. "Oh come on, Sakura. You are the most powerful medic in whole Fire country and maybe even more, you don't have to worry about your life... and by the way, you won't need Konoha's hitai ate anymore. In the end you'll just come to me obediently, thanks to this little souvenir I gave you." And he nodded at a tiny tattoo that appeared in a place where he, Orochimaru, bit her. It was her curse mark. "Oh, but I think you are aware of the efects of this, aren't you? I heard you like history and stuff..." He turned away but before he torned off her forehead protector with Konoha's sign. "Then, see you around, I guess? Just a little advice at the end - I don't think it will be safe to be hanging around your friends... Who knows, what could happen to them, right?" With these words he simply disappeared with a puff of smoke and left this young pinkette screaming alone on wet moss.

Okay, enough! I must... I can't just stay here like this forever. Sakura thought and looked around for her teammates. She saw Naruto unconscious, lying about ten metres away from her on the ground. She couldn't see nor sense Sasuke so she figured out he must be unconscious too. Oh well. Finally she noticed Kakashi, who leaned against a tree and was slowly regaining his strengh. The proces of waking up was greatly fastened as he heard Sakura's cries. Immediately, he was bending over her, obviously didn't have an idea about what was going on. "Sakura! Sakura, what happened! Come on, tell me-" and suddenly he stopped as he noticed the notorious curse mark on her neck. "What the... Oh god! That's the curse mark! Sakura, please, look at me, breathe..." He was trying to comfort her, but surprisingly it was just him who was overly stressed about this. Of course, Sasuke and Naruto were out of game and Sakura was apparently busy with screaming the hell out of her, so it was his duty. Then Sakura managed to speak. "Kakashi, I need..." Sakura stopped for a while, thinking about it again and again. "I need to suck Orochimaru's poison out of that wound. Due to information I found in Konoha his poison contains some mutated part of genetic information which can conect to my DNA in every cell in my body. I can try to get rid of his poison until it didn't spread in my whole body..." and she would continue, if she wasn't stopped by her silver haired sensei. "Look Sakura, you don't really have to tell me this because I understand medicine no more than how turnip understands peach. Just tell me what to do and I will do it..." Sakura nodded, sounded fair. "Just please hold me tightly when I tell you, I think I'll need it..." Then she made few hand signs and a water ball appeared around her hands, which she pushed and pulled through her skin while washing the poison out of her body.

Itachi stood on a branch high above the stage and was looking at that screaming girl. She was pretty and had her light pink hair tied in long ponytail. Despite how far he was standing he could still see Orochimaru's curse mark on the back of her neck and that pedo Orochimaru walking towards her. He saw him talking but didn't hear anything so he jumped a few branches lower and was quite surprised when Orochimaru didn't spot him. He must be pretty obsessed with that pinkette when he didn't even noticed another shinobi standing just few metres above him. Itachi thought. Meanwhile Kisame appeared, angry and shocked, because he never thought Itachi would just give in to some noise he heard. He opened his mouth, ready to scold him for being such a dick, but Itachi stoppped him with a wave of his hand and pointed down on the ground. Kisame immediately tensed when he saw Orochimaru and shot Itachi surprised look, but Itachi was already fully concentrated on that little chit-chat down there. He felt sorry for that girl, because she couldn't be much older than sixteen and that was still too early to die.

But after a while he had to reconsider his opinion on that girl - he found out that her name was Sakura. That slimy snake described her to be the most talented medic nin in Fire country and also mentioned something about her being a student of Hokage and copy nin. One thing is sure, he thought. She must have guts if she survived mentally that lick Orochimaru gave her. On the other hand - maybe that screaming isn't only because of that curse mark? Even Kisame looked pretty disgusted when Orochimaru licked her cheek - and that really is something. And then - Pufff! Orochimaru the blenny disappeared and left the girl fall onto the ground.

Itachi continued watching her and he had to admit that he admired her will - he saw her shaking hands and the pain in her eyes but she still lifted up on her elbows and looked around as if she was looking for something. Or someone? And then he saw a figure running towards her while calling her name. Kakashi Hatake knelt down to her and tried to find the source of her pain - successfully. In following conversation Itachi confirmed that rumor about Sakura and her healing abilities. She was indeed an excellent medic. He just stood there and watched unbelievably when the pinkette formed few hand seals and used an elementar jutsu as if it was nothing. He twiched when another cries came, this time even stronger. But that girl still continued with her treatment... He saw Kakashi grab her and hold her tightly so she won't move too much and Itachi realised just how tiny and fragile she is in the hands of nearly two metres tall man. So many potencial in such a small body. Itachi thought, his gaze fixated on her pink curl.

Ten minutes later it was silent, finally. Sakura was gasping for air with her eyes closed as Kakashi held her. At least she's calm. Thought Kakashi while he studied her porcelain like skin and relieved expression. When she didn't open her eyes for a long time he realized she was unconscious. And that was when he heard mocking voice behind him. "My my, what are you doing Kakashi of Konoha? Weeping for dead little fuckers? It always breaks my heart to see them conk out so young…" Kakashi turned around just to see a man in black cloak with red clouds. Akatsuki. This one was tall, huge and blue with sharky teeth. On his back hung Samehada – big sword covered with bandages that sucked out chakra of his opponent. Kakashi figured out it is Kisame who travelled with Itachi – who seemed to be nowhere in sight. He faced Kisame and answered him: "Look sharky boy. You can call me all you want – even Little red riding hood – I don't mind. But never, I repeat never, call my students little fuckers." And then he ran towards Kisame and screamed: "Chidori!" But as soon as Kakashi hit him he disappeared with spray of water. Oh darn, it was a water clone… Mumbled now all wet Kakashi and took a fighting stance as he expected another attack. But nothing came. Kisame's presence completely vanished. Fuck! Kakashi thought when he realized his mistake and quickly turned around just to see that Sakura wasn't there. In a place where she was laying till now was just a tiny pit in the ground. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

OOOOOOOOkayyyyyyy!

So, first chapter finished and I know it's very short, but oh well…

You know, it took me about three days just to translate this little part of my story to English and on top of that the translation isn't even good… But I don't have anyone to help me since I'm the only one in my family who does speak a little English.

By the way this is about one third of my story – oh sorry, one third of story that I have already written and it's waiting for translation…

I don't have beta – pretty much the reason it's this bad o

So if you find some mistakes (and there will be tons of them) – you can just write them to reviews or something – it's also a way for me to learn something new :-P

So, today I have really good mood, because I did really well with my math test – it looks like I have full score! YAY! It's the first time in my life (or something…)

And it's only few days efore Christmas – I don't really know how many cuz I'm a little confused these days and it gives me a hard time to remember the date and stuff…

But right now I'm watching news and I feel a little guilty, because I have good mood even though our exprezident died. His name was Václav Havel and he was really a good guy. Like really really very much. Well, maybe you heard it in news too, it's pretty much a hot stuff now. His funreal is at Friday and I'm thinking of going there. And tomorrow I'm going to light some candles at one of memorial places in Prague – Národní třída. There's a monument of fall of communist regime.

Well, enough talking (sorry guys, I'm really talkative and annoying I know…)

See you in next chapter!

(Oh well, only if I'll have enough patience with translating… :-)
