Chapter 2:

The next day Sakura was woken up by her mother a little earlier than usual.

"Sakura wake up,"

"But mom it's early."

"Well I think you'll be surprised to see someone."

"Huh" Sakura said rubbing her eyes, "Who?"

"Itachi"

Sakura jumped out of her bed and ran to the bathroom in her room. Her mother giggled and headed down stairs. Sakura wore her clothes brushed her teeth and placed the necklace Itachi gave her yesterday, and then tied a red ribbon in her hair.

"Good morning Itachi-sama"

"Good morning Sakura-san, sorry to get you out of bed early"

"I don't mind."

"Sakura-san, would you train with me today,"

"Sure, but I'm not as good as you."

"That's alright" he said, and took her hand as they went to his training grounds.

Sakura blushed the hold time,

'Itachi-sama is holding my hand, yay' she walked smiling the whole way.

"So Sakura, what have you managed to do so far,"

"Well I learned some substitution jutsu's, and Genjutsu."

"How is your chakra control and aim."

"Good enough"

"Will you demonstrate?"

"Sure".

He put a target for her 20 meters away from her. He gave her one kunai knife. She stared at her target she concentrated on the mark, closed her eyes then suddenly opened. The kunai hit the bull's eye directly.

"Very impressive Sakura" he said smiling.

"T-Thank you" she said, she was wondering why she started to sound like Hinata.

"Nii-san," called a voice from the distance.

"Little brother,"

Sasuke stood and saw he was with Sakura, he couldn't help but glare at her.

"Sakura will you fight with my brother,"

"Huh"

"I would like to see how strong you are" he said smiling.

"Okay"

"Sasuke," Itachi said.

"No way, I will not fight her"

"Why?" Sakura said.

"Cause you're a girl"

"So"

"Guys don't fight girls"

"Are you afraid I'll beat you?"

"You wouldn't stand a chance against me" he said.

"How do you know" she barked,

"Cause your weak and you don't carry the Sharingan"

"Sasuke," Itachi said.

"Fine," she said, "sorry I'm such a weakling to you," she started to walk back to her house angered, she felt bad that she refused Itachi, but she couldn't handle being around arrogant guys.

Itachi glared at his brother.

"What, I just told her the truth"

Itachi was angered by what his brother said and how he refused him.

Meanwhile when Sakura got home she went to the garden hiding her facial expression under her smile.

She let Nikamaru out of the chains.

"Nikamaru" she said hugging the dog.

Nikamaru loved the hug and licked her face, his doggy instinct told him something was troubling her.

"Nikamaru do you think I'm weak?" she asked.

Nikamaru licked her face then her hand.

She knew that he was still depressed from biting her by accident.

"I wouldn't blame you for trying to bite Sasuke" she whispered in his ear.

She decided to take Nikamaru to Kiba's place to play with Akamaru and his sister's dogs. Nikamaru was like a brother to Akamaru. Gently she placed his collar on and took Nikamaru out of the yard.

"Come on Nikamaru we're going to see Akamaru and Kiba"

"Woof Woof" Nikamaru barked in acknowledgement

She was thinking a lot as she walked to Kiba's place; there she found most of the others already there.

"Sakura, Nikamaru" Kiba shouted as Akamaru ran to greet the running Nikamaru.

"Hello Kiba, Akamaru" she said smiling.

Beside Kiba, Hinata and Ten-Ten came.

"Sakura-chan, come were meeting Ino in the park she wants to talk to you" they shrieked.

"Kiba" she said "Can you take care of Nikamaru for me till I get back"

"Sure Akamaru and I wouldn't mind"

"Thanks Kiba I owe you one" she said dashing after friends.

"Sakura hurry up" Ten-ten called.

"Hai"

The girls walked and joined the waiting Ino at the park.

"Finally everyone is here" Ino said. "Lunch at my place" she said with everybody following her.

Sakura was thinking of a lot things like why did Itachi, a captain of the ANBU black; want to train with her, why did he want her to fight Sasuke.

She was very puzzled and without knowing she bumped into a tall person,

"Gomen-nasai" she said as she got up then looked up to see Itachi.
