A/N: I decided to do the first chapter from the POV of Sakura, Sasuke and Itachi. I think it definite in order to get to the point of the story. Im straying away from the explanation for the massacre, I'm doing my own storyline based on my crazy Ita and Saku couple =). I love them .

I sadly don't own Naruto, or else the storyline would not be what it is now. Hint major Ita and Saku shipper !!! Do not like, then don't read

Ch1:

Those Piercing Red eyes have never left my mind. Charcoal hidden behind red, his last humanity eaten away by the massacre. I was there that night, I watched his eyes bleed. I saw horrific things that no child should see, but no one took pity on me. I was labeled weak, useless. No one took time to train me, except him. He saw what others did not, he saw potential.

Light peeked in through the black curtains, causing the sleeping woman to stir. Her rosette pink hair fanned out around her, like a halo. Ironic as it was she was anything but an angel. Her emerald green eyes opened, but in them there was no happiness, she was no longer the same Sakura. What had caused her to change, the answer was rather simple: Death. Her eyes shifted to the calendar, another anniversary gone by. She could barely remember how many years it has been since the massacre.

He flashed through her mind. Her eyes hardened, she quickly shook her head, he was gone as soon as he came. She wondered if he even knew what today was, probably not. Family and dates meant nothing to him. She looked at the clock again; she was going to be late if she kept thinking.

Who was she?

Sakura Haruno, Apprentice to Tsunade, First ANBU Captain of Konoha.

Light streamed into the bare room. He didn't need light to know what today was, it's etched into his memory since he was seven. As soon as it hit 12, his body tossed into endless sleep. Even if he, by chance, got an hour of sleep, images of bloody walls and dead bodies rained through his dreams. Not even the calming effects of the Cherry Blossom tree outside his room could calm him, just as she had that night. His eyes bleed red, the rage in him building. He looked at the calendar; he briefly wondered if his brother knew? He sadly smiled, his brother didn't care about anything, only power. He sighed and looked at the clock, if he stayed here wallowing in self-pity than his revenge would never be carried out.

Who was he?

Sasuke Uchiha, survivor of the Uchiha Clan, Avenger, Second ANBU captain of Konoha.

Sweat poured down his face, his brow furrowed in concentration as he blocked another attack from his sparring partner. His Sharigan was off today, something his partner had called him out on. He got no answer. He looked up at the rising sun

"Another year", His eyes were trained on the horizon, in direction of Konoha.

"You're not paying attention Itachi", he maneuvered away from a kick. He was quiet.

"My apologies Pein", He smirked when a cherry blossom petal fell in front of him. It's color reminding him of its mistress hair. Today marked another year since he killed his clan. His eyes bled red, rage getting the better of him. He remembered her words, he remembered his brothers crest fallen eyes at the confession he made, and He remembered her hate.

" I think it is time You and Kisame pay a visit to Konoha.", He started at his leader and frowned, the last thing he wanted to go to was Konoha, especially today.

"What is in Konoha?'', he would regret asking that later

Pein smirked, "My sister and the woman you love. I want you to see her progress, I heard she made First ANBU captain since the Kyubi started his Hokage training.",

Itachi frowned,

"She has yet to activate her Kekki Genkai, seems like your hokage has her hands in that. I want a detailed report as soon as you get back.", Pein turned around and walked away leaving a stoic Itachi. He sighed and rubbed his temple, the headaches were coming back again, perhaps this was another reason why Pein had sent him. He slowly entered his room and looked at the clock, Time never stood still.

Who was he?

Itachi Uchiha, murder of the Uchiha clan, Ex- ANBU captain, Member of Akatsuki.
