Sound Princess

Summary: Sound…The place where he found her, his new daughter, Sakura. She was abandoned there by her parents as a child and he took her in, teaching her, molding her, loving her to his hearts content. Now she has to leave and go to Konaha, for school, but not by herself, no, she has an S-class criminal as a bodyguard, Uchiha, Itachi.

The yellow moon hung in the sky like a dead man's head. It glowed like a light forever burning though the night. It was the worst nigh for Sakura. This night, her parents left her, abandoned her, on the door step to the worst man alive. , Orochimaru.

She was only one year old at the time, and had beautiful bubble gum pink hair. Her eyes were somewhat different though. They were the brightest green you could have ever seen mixed with a dark yellow color. Her eyes were the same as a cat, but much more beautiful.

The door that she was left at opened with out a sound and a silver haired man with glasses stepped out looking down at her. His face changed emotions as soon as he saw the helpless little girl there shivering. Talking was out of the question because she looked too young.

He picked her up and brought her inside where it was warm and placed her on the kitchen counter. He felt her eyes examine him and wonder. He smiled and started to play peek- a -boo with her. Her laughter was carried though the hideout. The sound was that of a little girl singing perfectly. He immediately fell in love with her laugh and smile.

He fixed her some food and fed her before taking her to see Orochimaru. Oh how he hoped that Orochimaru would let her stay, she was just a child, and a cute little girl at that. He didn't want to kill her or let her die outside all alone. He poked her nose and she scrunched it up and moved it like a rabbit. This made him laugh at her while he toted her to Orochimaru.

Kabuto knocked on the large door separating him from the child he was holding destiny. His nerves rattled all around his body causing him to sweat and take deep even breaths.

"Come in."

Kabuto opened the door slightly and perked his head through stating his business.

"Orochimaru-sama, I found a child on the front door step. What do you want me to do?"

"Kill it." Orochimaru said heartlessly yawning.

"Don't you even want to see it?"

"If it's a boy, kill it."

"Orochimaru-sama, it isn't a boy. It is a girl. Here look."

Kabuto opened the door all the way now and cradled the little girl in his arms. She had so much life in her. Orochimaru sat up straight at the sight of the little baby girl in Kabuto's arms. Her hair, or what was there on her head, was pink like bubble gum, and her eyes are what mainly got his attention.

"Kabuto, give her too me."

"Hai, Orochimaru-sama"

He carefully handed the baby to him and stepped back. Orochimaru looked down at the bundle of life in his arms. She moved her hands up and wrapped her fingers around his long black hair giggling. He smiled and poked her nose like Kabuto did and she had the same reaction.

"So Orochimaru-sama, what shall we do?"

"Keep her of course. She will make a fine woman one day and will continue on my legacy."

"Hai, Orochimaru-sama."

Orochimaru looked back down at the thing he held lovingly in his arms. His snake like eyes roamed all over her face and then he saw how her grip on his hair became lax. Her eyes started to close, and he saw her trying to fight the on coming sleep, but she gave up and closed her eyes softly sleeping in his arms.

10 years later…

A girl with long silky hair sat at a table eating breakfast with her eyes darting all around the room scoping for her favorite person. She stuffed her mouth full of pancakes and strawberries slurping down her orange juice like there was no tomorrow. A door to her left opened and her eyes lightened up.

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" she yelled running to his open arms hugging him tight. He smiled at her and kissed her cheek telling her good morning. She placed her hand in his and walked with him to the table.

"What do we have here, flower?" he asked watching her eat more strawberries.

"Kabuto made it this morning for me. I saved some for you Daddy."

"That's nice flower; do you know what today is?"

"Hai," she said taking a long drink of OJ, "Today is the day when I start at the ninja academy in Konaha!"

"That is right and guess who is visiting and is going to be your escort?"

Sakura gave her father a dumb look and kept eating. He smiled at her and picked himself up a strawberry before continuing.

"You remember Uchiha, Itachi right? I asked him if he wouldn't mind taking you to Konaha and watching over you while you were there. Do you know what he said?"

"No?"

"He said yes."

Sakura jumped up from her chair and started to parade around the room squealing that her Itachi-kun was going to watch her. As if her heart couldn't get any happier her father gave her something else too.

"Also flower, I have a gift for you, it is in your room, on your nightstand."

She busted out of the dinning room and made a sprint to her room opening the door and running over to her nightstand. What she saw made her scream in delight. Her father had bought her an I-pod nanno that was sleek and black just like her dyed hair.

She ran back to him and kissed his cheek before running off to pack her things for her trip to Konaha. Yes, Sakura was from sound but the third hokage loved Sakura so much he decided that she was to come to Konaha and be taught the right way to be a ninja.

I would be her first trip to Konaha mostly by herself. She had been before but that was when she was a little girl and baby. Now she was twelve. The age to be the best genin alive. Her father would make sure of that.

Sakura quickly loaded up her favorite songs onto her I-pod and finished packing her whole wardrobe. She was already dressed in her normal attire which was mostly black. Her shirt stopped underneath her breasts and had crisscrossed strings across it with long sleeves. She pulled her skirt down some-it ended about mid thigh- and adjusted her net leggings. She placed her I-pod in her pocket of her skirt and placed the headphones in her ears turning it to her favorite song…Maneater

A knocking sound was heard at her door and she opened it pulling out one ear bud. Her catlike bright green eyes winded and her mouth formed an 'O'. Itachi Uchiha stood in front of her clad in his Akatsuki cloak and attire. She engulfed him in a hug and kissed his cheek while he kissed hers. When they broke apart he grabbed her hand and twirled her around looking her over carefully.

"My, my, my, Sakura-chan…you certainly have grown over the years. You grow more beautiful each time I lay my eyes upon you."

"Thank-you Itachi-kun. You don't look so bad yourself, though I must say your hair is shorter than mine."

He laughed and twirled her around again commenting, "Sakura-chan you sure have grown in certain places…"

A deep red blush crossed her face and she giggled shielding her face with her beautiful hair.

"Itachi-kun, this is not the time to be talking about my butt…or my chest!"

"I'm just pointing it out. What size are you now anyway?"

"Itachi-kun!" She said punching his arm before pulling him down so she could whisper in his ear. His eyes widened when she told him and he looked down at her before smirking.

"I'll have to keep the boys far away then, especially my foolish little brother. I can just picture how big your fan club is going to be." Itachi said letting her go and grabbing her things. She rolled her eyes and picked up some of her luggage to help out and walked out of the room following behind Itachi.

Both of them were about to leave the hideout when a faint voice was heard not far away from them. Sakura took out a kunai and stood in a fighting pose ready to either attack or defend if she had too. Itachi chuckled at her antics and yelled out to whom ever was talking.

"Kisame-san, what are you doing?"

A man appeared in front of Sakura and she almost stared laughing at him. He was blue and had gill like tattoos on his face. The lighting in the room wasn't that good because Orochimaru didn't like to let in unnecessary light.

The room was like a large foyer with a huge stare case with two sides of stairs that leads up the upper floors in front of the doors. Big windows were covered with dark red silk like curtains and the room was a little dusty.

"I was waiting on you when this man stared to talk to me about a dog." the fish man said still not noticing Sakura.

"A dog? Sakura-chan, what do you know of a dog?"

She giggled and it filled the room like air. "Itachi-kun, the 'dog' isn't a dog really. It's more of a wolf. I've had it since it was a little pup. His name is Yoshiro. Do you want to see him?"

"Why not, he doesn't sound so bad."

'That's what you think' "Yoshiro! Come!"

A mammoth dog came running down the stairs in a flash. He was silver with bright blue eyes. His ears had black tips as did his paws and tail. It came to Sakura and sat down bowing his head. Sakura bowed back and signaled for Itachi to do the same.

Once all the bowing was done Sakura petted Yoshiro's head and brought him to Itachi's side. Itachi looked over the dog and was amazed at how well it listened to Sakura's commands.

"I like him Sakura-chan. He is very well behaved."

"That's what you say now Itachi-kun. Try to touch me."

"Huh?"

"Just try to touch me." Sakura said folding her arms across her chest and smiling. Itachi was confused to say in the least. So he did what he was told, he walked toward Sakura reaching out a hand. Just as he was with in three feet from her he heard a low growling sound.

Itachi looked down at the once calm and friendly dog only to see hate and murder intent in its eyes. His sharp white teeth were bared and his lips were trembling. Itachi edged closer to Sakura and dog stood up never looking away from him.

"Sakura-chan what is wrong with Yoshiro?"

"Nothing, he has done this ever since I've tamed him. He refuses to let a boy come near me. Also he refuses to let an enemy some near me too, so there is an upside. I suggest that you back away and not come any closer or he will attack."

Itachi listened to Sakura and backed away. As soon as he six feet away the dog relaxed and walked up to him. Itachi looked down at him puzzled then petted his head before locking eyes with Sakura again.

"We need to be leaving now, so if you could…"

"Yeah no problem. Yoshiro, go to my father and let him know that I am leaving. Then you are free to do what ever you want. Just don't hurt Kabuto again!"

The dog bowed again and trotted off toward a hallway. Kisame let out a breath of air he didn't even know he was holding. Itachi sighed and Sakura rolled her eyes. The trio left sound and with out another look back.

You see, Kisame never really got a good look at Sakura when she was inside because of all the dimness of light in the room so when he saw her outside his heart liked to have stopped.

This girl was the girl that he had heard so much about. This girl was responsible for the deaths of over six million people, and she was also supposed to be Orochimaru's daughter. There is no way that a girl this small and innocent could have taken so many lives, but her eyes were sinister. They held a past of their own, and they also held the thirst of blood. She had more bloodlust than he did.

"Kisame-kun, are you okay? You keep staring at me like I did something wrong."

"No. It's just…You're just…"

"Is that a nose bleed I see Kisame-kun?"

Kisame wiped his nose and sure enough there was blood. A small blush crept across his face when Sakura came closer to inspect him to make sure that he was okay. He didn't care that she had done all of those things. All he knew was that she was hot, for a 12 year-old.

"Don't worry about me Sakura-chan. We're almost at Konaha."

"Really…Itachi-kun, what disguise are you going to use this time?" Sakura asked him smiling.

"I'm not going to use a disguise this time Sakura-chan."

"Huh? Itachi-kun, if you don't use one then you will be killed if you enter the village!"

"I'm not going to enter the village, and neither is Kisame-san. All we're going to do is escort you to the village and to the hokage tower. Then once you are in the hokage tower we will leave."

"Oh, Okay. I understand. That sounds good too. Who will I stay with then?"

"I do not know. I can only hope that you learn what being a shinobi really means."

"Itachi-kun, I still remember all the lessons and rules you taught me. I will never forget them."

"Really Sakura-chan, you remember them all. Then what is the most important one that I taught you from the start?"

"Never let your emotions cloud your judgment. Emotions make you weak and they only get in the way."

"Correct, Sakura-chan. Here we are…the village hidden in the leaves. Is it not the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?" Itachi said walking toward the large opened gates still carrying Sakura's bags. Kisame decided to stay behind just in case they needed back up.

Sakura's mood darkened greatly and only Itachi could tell. She seemed so happy and perky on the outside, but he knew that she was uncertain and sad about this. He was too, a little, because now he can not come and visit her when ever he wants.

"Cheer up Sakura-chan we're almost to the hokage tower."

Sakura sighed and pulled out her I-pod turning it to a song that could do just that. She flipped until she found Teenagers by My Chemical Romance. When the song stared her mood brightened up a little bit, but not much.

People on the side of the street were shocked to see Uchiha, Itachi freely roaming the streets with an innocent little girl beside him. They would back away from him like he was some sort of wild animal, and all the stores closed down. Sakura took in the scene around her and smirked. This was going to be interesting. She reached up and grabbed Itachi's hand in hers and continued walking.

Sakura had never been so afraid in her life like she was now. Standing outside of the hokage's door waiting was nerve wrecking. Itachi had already left, but no with out giving her something. His cloak. A soft voice said 'come in' and Sakura stood up opening the doors to see an old man sitting with a small boy.

"Hello, you must be Sakura. It's been a while since I've seen you young lady."

"Hello, sir. It's nice to meet you too."

"This is my grandson, he is a little tired, please ignore him. Anyway, I heard you cause a great ruckus when you entered my village. I've never seen anyone command Itachi like you did."

"Uh…Thank-you. He is my best friend. My father would let him teach me when I was little. He is very sweet."

"I'm glad that you think that Sakura. To everyone here he is a monster, a cold blooded killer. He slaughtered his whole clan with the exception of Uchiha, Sasuke… his younger brother."

" I see. So Hokage-sama, where will I be staying?"

"You will live in the Uchiha compound with Sasuke. It is what Itachi wishes that you do so he knows that you will be safe. Your things are all ready there and I will have someone show you around."

"Thank-you so much Hokage-sama."

Just then a man barged into the room sweat dripping off him like water from a sink. He walked up to the Hokage and sighed before talking.

"Hokage-sama…It's Uzumaki, Naruto. He's painting the hokage faces!"

"Not again. Excuse us Sakura. We have to take care of something."

"Not a problem…If you don't mind me asking Hokage-sama, I would like to help out if I can. This Uzumaki kid is he a trouble maker?"

"Yes."

"Then I know exactly what to do. If you would please…" Sakura said bowing.

"Go right ahead Sakura. We will be there in a minute." The hokage said to Sakura before she disappeared in a cloud of cherry blossoms.

Sakura landed gracefully underneath the hokage's faces. She was appalled at what she saw. Scribbles, lines, pictures, and disgusting images adorned all the hokage's faces one way or another. A boy dresses in bright orange was painting away yelling at everyone down below.

Sakura looked around for any kind of leverage and found one just under the first hokage. She jumped up and lined her feet with chakra so she wouldn't fall and walked up the side of the mountain.

The hokage was surprised at first that Sakura knew how to control her chakra so well, but soon brushed it aside remembering that her daddy was the S-class criminal Orochimaru.

"Hey, you, boy, what are you doing?" Sakura said right beside Naruto.

"I'm painting. Want to join?" He said not really paying attention to the person he was talking too.

"I think you should stop. This is very disrespectful to the people of the village and especially the hokage. I'm sure you would not like it if some did this when you are hokage."

"How did you know that I wanted to be hokage?" Naruto asked finally looking at her.

Naruto's faces turned redder then the paint the was using. The person he had been talking too was a girl-he knew that by the sound of her voice- but not just any girl. The most beautiful girl he'd ever seen.

Her hair was black but the roots were pink, and the sun was behind her creating this heavenly like glow behind her small hour glass framed body. Naruto looked at her eyes next and his was lost in her green sea. He'd never seen anyone with those kind of eyes in his life. They were beautiful, but deadly.

"I kind of figured you'd want to be Hokage because you will be very strong like one in the near future. This isn't the way the future hokage is supposed to act."

"Your right!"

"I think you should clean all of this up and apologize to the hokage and to everyone else. I'll even be here with you to help you clean up this mess."

"Thank-you so much. What is your name?"

"Gomen, my name is Sakura. It's nice to meet you Uzumaki, Naruto."

"How did you know my name?"

"The hokage told me."

"Oh, so want to start cleaning up now?"

"Yes!"

Sakura took the paint and brush away from Naruto and threw it to the ground causing a loud splatter. The hokage looked up at the two kids cleaning up what Naruto had done. His heart was filled to the brim with surprise. He wondered what Sakura had told Naruto to make him change his mind so quick.

'This girl, Sakura, is going to bring a lot of spunk back into this dry village. I'd better make sure that she and Naruto end up on the same team along with her new roommate, Uchiha, Sasuke.'

Sakura and Naruto were finally finished cleaning up the paint around six o' clock in the evening. The sun was setting and it reminded Sakura so much of blood. Ah, blood…the only liquid beside water that gave life. She loved the red thick liquid. It was intoxicating to say in the least.

Naruto and Sakura were better acquainted now and what he considered friends though she would never think that. Friends were a weakness that could destroy you. They were walking down the street when Naruto spotted his favorite ramen stand.

"Ne, Sakura-chan, would you like to eat some ramen with me?"

"Sure, but first I need to go home and put my stuff away. Would you like to help?"

"Yeah! Where do you live I'll take you there."

"I live in the Uchiha manor." She said walking on ahead of Naruto not noticing his hesitation.

"You live there? With Uchiha, Sasuke?"

"Hai, the hokage told me that I was to live there for as long as I am here. He said that Itachi-kun wanted me there and I can not go against Itachi-kun's word. My father would have a heart attack and poor Kabuto would probably die!"

"Why?" Naruto asked showing her the way to the manor.

"You see my father is living in sound right now. I am originally from sound, or so I've been told. I have been friends with the hokage since my first visit here with him. Itachi-kun is a close friend of mine and a guardian. He is like my second father if you will. I have to obey him like I would my real father."

"I get it. So this man, Itachi, is important to you and if you disobey him you are basically disobeying your dad, and you never want to do that."

"That is correct." Sakura said smiling.

"Well, we're here. This is the Uchiha manor."

Sakura stepped around the corner of the building and her mouth was left agape. This was the biggest house she'd seen in this village! It reminded her so much of her own home. A light was on and a shadow moved in front of it. Sakura pulled out her kunai and silently walked closer to the door of the house. She hid her kunai carefully and knocked on the door.

After the second time she knocked it opened. A boy about her age was standing there dressed in a blue high collar shirt and khaki like pants. He reminded her immediately of Itachi, but she knew better.

"Hello Uchiha-san, I am Sakura. It is a pleasure to meet you. I will be living with you until I leave back to sound."

The boy looked startled at first but changed his look back to the cool passive block that he had spent so many years to perfect. This girl to him was different. She was nice and polite and didn't look half bad, but her motions and eyes and attitude held something different to him.

"Hn"

"Itachi-kun was right you are his little brother, there is no mistaking it."

"How do you know my brother?"

"I trained with him and he is a dear friend of my fathers."

"Hn"

"So where is my stuff?"

"In your new room. Come on I'll show you."

He stepped aside and closed the door as soon as she was in. She took off her shoes and followed him down several hallways, and stair cases before she finally reached her room in the south wing.

Everything was inside already unpacked and put away correctly. Her bathroom was just like the one back home and she loved the feel her room had. Sasuke watched the girl move around the room with so much speed it surprised him.

"Uchiha-san, this is perfect…thank-you! I feel like I am back at home in sound!"

"Whatever."

"Uchiha-san you are not pleased that I am staying here with you are you. You wish that I would go find some one else to live with and leave you alone, correct?"

'What is this girl a mind reader?' "I don't care just do not annoy me or I will throw you out!"

"Understood Uchiha-san. Am I allowed to leave to go eat some ramen with Naruto?"

"Hn…Whatever."

"Thank-you!" Sakura said leaving him in a flash. Before she left though she was fast enough to give him a small peck on the cheek, something that all girls dreamed to do.
