They both turned around…

Sasuke's eyes widened as he looked at the person walking toward him and Sakura. Sakura looked up at Sasuke and noticed how frightened he looked, but then that look faded into anger.

"Oh…well who's your friend" said the person standing a few feet away from Sasuke. Sasuke's anger grew more with every word the person spoke.

"Stay away from her" said Sasuke as he stepped in front of Sakura "This is between you and me."

Sakura tried looking at the person that Sasuke was protecting her from. She stood there as she saw Sasuke giving the man standing across from him a dirty look.

Suddenly, she felt a quick breeze and then the next thing she knew was that she was standing next to the man with a kunai knife to the neck. Sasuke glanced at the man.

"She has nothing to do with this…KEEP HER OUT OF THIS, ITACHI!" yelled Sasuke as he stepped forward. Itachi pressed the kunai closer to her neck and a drop of blood trickled down her neck. Sakura grabbed Itachi's arm to try to remove his arm.

"Now now don't move…or it mite slip" said Itachi as he pulled the kunai back and started plunging it forward.

Sakura started punching and kicking trying to get free. She screamed and watched as the kuni got closer. Suddenly, even before, she could blink, Sasuke was in front of her and he took the hit.

Itachi jumped back as Sasuke plunged toward him with the Chidori. Itachi tried moving back, but he still got hit. He was hurt pretty badly. Sasuke stood there as he grabbed his right side while slightly being slumped over. Sasuke looked down as he noticed that only the kunai's handle was visible. He grabbed the handle and pulled the kunai out, but at the same time gasped in pain. Sasuke looked up as Itachi threw another kunai at Sasuke, but this time Sakura threw another kunai knocking it out of the way before it hit Sasuke. Itachi looked at Sakura and started heading toward her. She took a fighting stance as she watched Itachi come near her. Sasuke got up and ran toward Itachi yelling "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!" Itachi turned as Sasuke picked up the kuni that had landed on the floor and ran toward him. Itachi and Sasuke were heading right toward each other. Suddenly, Itachi looked like he was in pain. Sasuke put a soft smile on and Sakura watched as blood slowly started coming out of Sasuke's mouth. Itachi looked down noticing that there was a kuni in his chest, then he looked up and put an evil grin on seeing that his kunai landed right on Sasuke's heart. Sasuke, with the last bite of strength he had pushed the kunai in more into Itachi. Itachi pulled away gasping in pain. Itachi threw a death glare at Sasuke.

"Well…I must admit you have gotten stronger…none the less…you will lose everything, foolish little brother" said Itachi as he disappeared and everything started going back to normal.

Sasuke was breathing heavy then he feel onto his hands and knees and coughed up blood. He removed the kunai and let out what sounded like yelp or a quit scream. Sakura ran to his aid. Sakura laid him down on the ground and opened up his shirt looking at both the wounds. One wound was just next to his right lung the other was directly on his heart. She placed both hands on him, one above each wound. She jumped as Sasuke grabbed one of her hands. She looked at him.

"What…*coughs up blood*…are you…doing?" said Sasuke in a low mono tone voice trying to ignore the pain. Sakura looked at him noticing that he was slipping away (dying). She felt her eyes start to water and put her hands over each wound again.

"I'm saving your life…like what you did for Me." said Sakura as she took a deep breath and suddenly a greenish-yellowish glow came from her hands. She put a smile of relief as she watched Sasuke's wounds heal. She took her hands off and Sasuke looked at the areas where the wounds used to be. He turned to her.

"Your…a medical ninja?" said Sasuke with a puzzled look.

"Yeah, but many people don't know that…I see you're a ninja yourself…anyway, who was that guy that attacked us?" said Sakura looking into Sasuke's eyes. Sasuke looked down at the ground.

"He's my brother…that's all you need to know right now" said Sasuke has he stood up and rebut toned his shirt. He stuck his hand out to Sakura to help her up. Sakura took his hand and stood up.

"So are there any other ninja's in the school?" said Sakura looking up at Sasuke.

"Yeah…Naruto,Shikamaru and Kiba are ninja too" said Sasuke with a serious face again.

They kept walking down the path to Sakura's neighborhood. Sasuke turned to the left while Sakura kept going straight.

When Sakura got in her dad rushed up to her.

"Where were you? Are you alright? Why are you late? An…" he paused and looked at her shirt. "I-is that blood?"

Sakura looked down and noticed a spot of blood on her shirt. She looked back up at her father.

"Oh it's just paint from art class…sorry I'm late I was just finishing up something in school" Said Sakura lying to her father.

Sakura ran up to her room and closed the door. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought to herself 'why did he save me…I guess it's because I'm human…I really don't know…I guess it doesn't matter…I'm alive and I should be grateful.' She shook her head. Changed and went o bed. She smiled and said to herself as she feel asleep "I had a nice day"

4 months later…

It's been four months since Itachi attacked her and Sasuke in her way home from school. Sakura was outside eating lunch with Naruto, Shikamaru, and Kiba and laughing because Akamaru stole Naruto's sandwich and started him to try to get it back. Sakura, Shikamaru and Kiba laughed as Naruto fell down.

Then Sasuke was walking down the steps and noticed Sakura.

"Hey, Sakura" Sakura jumped at the sound of his voice. She turned looked over and he waved at her.

"Come Sakura, let's take a walk"

"Ok" said Sakura as hse said bye to Shikamaru, Naruto and Kiba.

Over the past few months Sasuke and Sakura had gotten pretty close, but no one knew. It was almost as if they were best friends.

Sasuke lead Sakura though a cherry blossom tree path. Sakura laughed as a little pink petals fell all over Sasuke. Sasuke smirked and brushed off the petals Sakura looked up at him with a smile.

"So…Why did you bring me out here…Where are we going anyway" said Sakura looking up at Sasuke.

"I wanted to talk to you and we're going to one of my favorite spots. I go there a lot, most o the time to think" said Sasuke with a smirk.

"OH MY GOD!"

"What?!" said Sasuke looking at Sakura with concern

"Did Sasuke Uchiha I know just smile" said Sakura with sarcasm in her voice.

Sasuke's concerned look faded into an annoyed look. "And I thought something happened to you"

"Oh well…is that why you looked so worried…you thought something happened to me…aww that's cute Sasuke, you care about me" said Sakura with a smile on.

"Well…I mean…you are a friend of mine…*sighs* anyway" said Sasuke as he turned his head away.

"I'm sorry…you really do surprise me when you smile…you have a nice smile" said Sakuar as she looked at Sasuke and put a soft smile on.

"Anyway what did you want to talk to me about?" said Sakura

"Remember what you asked me the night we were attacked bt my older brother?"

"Oh yeah… I forgot about that"

Sasuke truned to Sakura" you still want to know everything about him?"….
