Bang
Bang
Bang
The pink haired teenager groaned as she heard someone slamming on the door. Her pink hair stuck to her face from sweating the previous night. She wore a sliver low cut night gown that reached just above her knees. She squinted looking out her window, thinking it was close to 7 am.
Her aunt had left to go to the city for herbs and other medicinal products two days ago so she would have to answer it .She slowly walked down the elegant staircase of her home. It was a deep cherry wood color with a gold carpet running down.
The bay windows brought in all the light they would ever need. She longed to go outside, tsunade refused to let her leave in fear of something happening to her but she was perfectly capable of protecting her self.
She had hoped whoever it was would just go away. She had a migraine and was not in the mood. Many supernatural creatures came there looking to be told there future from her aunt, of course tsunade faked it. Seeing the future is absurd, it can not be possible to know what lies ahead. It of course brought in some good money, so Sakura never said a word about it.
Bang bang bang bang!
The knocking got louder and sounded more urgent than before. She started picking her speed up to get to the door quicker. All she wanted to do was scream at who ever decided that 7 am was an appropriate to wake her up for some faux future seeing.
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" She huffed out irritated that she would have to be the own to either tell them their "future" or turn them away and risk an angry aunt.
As she whipped open the door a bloody wolf tumbled into her home. She stood there in shock for a moment. Then the realization hit her.
"oh my god aunty is going to have your head! Your getting blood all over the carpet!"
The wolf whimpered at the young girl, nudging her with his snout. She surveyed him quickly an found bullet wounds and a large gash across his back. Her hands glowed the same green from when she was just a child removing the bullets and closing all the wounds.
As soon as he was able to wolf licked her face a few times and pawed at her legs. He wants to nuzzle into her lap.
"What ever will I do with you ita-kun, I'm getting you your spare clothes, NO no nuzzling you're covered in blood!"
Itachi whined at the girl, he didn't care about being covered in blood he was just excited she was home. He frequently visited the young girl since the day they saved her. She scorned Itachi everytime he came in battered in bruised from tangling with hunters or other creatures.
He followed her up the stairs to her room as she pulled out his spare clothes. She went to the wash room and started to prepare a bath for him. Itachi scrunched up his snot and growled he didn't want to take a bath. He was a man not a child.
"Don't use that tone of growl at me mister, you are taking this bath or you are leaving!"
He whined again, he never liked angering his pink haired friend but he really didn't want to take that bath. She flicked him on the forehead and pointed at the bath that was nearly full and he just sat on his hind paws and stuck his snot into the air, Even in his wolf from he had an I don't care I'm not doing it attitude.
"Itachi uchiha if you don't get in that bath so help me I will hose you down with cold instead"
He grumbled in a mocking matter. He was an uchiha if he wanted to be covered in blood he would!
"fine have it your way!" The pink haired girl reached for a spray bottle and proceeded to spray Itachi in the nose several times. His faced was entirely soaked.
Itachi growled at her, she knew that was the one place he hated being hit with water. He pounced on her, knocking her over and shook all the water on to her as payback. He yipped in delight as she frowned.
"damn it Itachi! Get out then!" He put his head down and licked her cheek as a sorry finally getting in the bath, he didn't want to cut his time short with her.
"now that I smell like wet dog and you finally decided your going to take a bath, I'll leave you to it!" She yelled as she slammed the wash room door.
The young girl walked back to her room huffing in annoyance. Itachi had been visiting her atleast once a month since she was three. Most of the time it was just to check on her, others it was because he was stupid enough to get attacked and need healing.
However she was glad to see him, she had a small crush on him, and always was happy to know he still lived. The werewolf kind was being eradicated and she worried for the entire uchiha clans safety. She had already heard from her aunt the hyuuga clan was no more.
She is never met them but felt sorrow for them. She didn't understand how someone could cut down an entire family, even if it was out of fear.
The uchihas became a second family to her and she deeply cared for them. Although she had only known Mikoto, Fugaku, and Itachi. She knew they couldn't be bad people like tsunade believed them to be. She always said not to trust them and it hurt every time.
Flashback
Sakura 8 years old
"aunty tsuna? Why are you do you not like miko-chan and her family?"
Tsunade eyes downcast as she heard sakuras question. She was slightly shaking as an awful memory passed her mind. Her fists clenched as she tried to hold back the tears.
"Sak, it's not that I don't like them….I just can never trust an uchiha ever again. And neither should you
Sakura knew her aunt was hiding something just by the way she was acting. She couldn't understand what could have happened. They saved her life so what was there not to trust?
"but aunty tsuna…"
"that's enough Sakura."
Tsunades voice was stern. She hated this subject and sakura never let up. She didn't like them in her home but sakura kept inviting them in. The uchiha's were putting her niece and herself in danger constantly even of they didn't know it.
"o-okay….sorry aunty
End flashback
"ugh stupid ita-kun, he's so lucky that my aunt isn't here."
"Whys that?"
Sakura jumped, startled at the unexpected voice from her door way. She turned to look at a now dressed Itachi, he wore a tan shirt sleeve shirt and black pants that she had held around for him. The shirt was perfect in length for him but unfortunately was a little to tight, you could see his muscular arms about to rip threw the sleeves. He was 5ft 11 now, with long onyx hair and piercing eyes. Everything about him screamed hottie.
Sakura blushed as she was checking him out and shook away any dirty thoughts. He was 7 years older than her she shouldn't have been thinking like that of him.
"Whatcha looking at?" he inquired smirking knowing exactly what she was doing.
"n-nothing special!" She stammered, the heat on here face ever more present .
"so why am I lucky?"
Sakura sighed Itachi knew tsunade wasn't found of his family but he was determined to change her mind. Even if he had to die protecting her.
"you know why, she doesn't trust you."
"yeah but I never gave her a reason not to. I've kept this place secret for 11 years, haven't I proven myself to her?"
Itachi moved closer to Sakura, he was attached to her, outside of his clan she was the only friend he had. He always felt tsunade was going to take her away one day and it upset it to no end. She was his light in this chaotic world.
Sakura wrapped her arms around Itachi waist hugging him, she knew he was always worried when it came to her and their friendship. She loved him and his family with everything she had. She thought about all the times he came to visit, she loved to be around him. She laid her head into his chest when suddenly her migraine increased in pain.
"ow!" She clutched her head still in Itachi's arms when a blinding light flashed in front of her eyes.
She heard Itachi calling her name but he sounded far away almost as if he was heading in another direction. Further and further away until she could no longer hear his voice. Sakura couldn't see anything and was scared, This had never happened to her before.
When the light started cleaning she could hear blood curdling screams, they sounded like Mikoto. But she couldn't make out what she was saying. she ran towards the sound of the screaming that was coming from a once beautiful home. There was a bloody hand prints on the door.
Sakura froze upon seeing the blood. She started shaking and then she heard another scream. It was a child in the distance. She wanted to run to the child but she was frozen in place, then the screaming was sudenly cut short. The scent of the high amounts of blood entered her nostrils, it made her want to vomit.
A bloody Mikoto trying to drag an several injured Fugaku threw the door suddenly appeared, she took one look at their frightened faces as a long sword pierced through both of their chests. Mikoto spat out blood and it hit Sakura on her chest.
She tried to scream but no sound emerged from her lips. She felt paralyzed when he body wouldn't move. All's she could do was watch as the life faded from their eyes.
Everything started flashing and she saw more and more dead bodies. All falling at her feet.
She saw hunters throwing around wolf forms as if they the wolves were like pillows. These hunters had a strange increase in strength and speed.
The village was burning, children were screaming for their parents. She felt the tears welling up in her eyes as the buildings collapsed killing everyone inside.
She saw Itachi on the ground, he was wearing the clothes she had just given him, with what looked like his final breath saying something to someone she couldn't see.
She fell to her knees sobbing as she watched the entire clan be destroyed. At the front line of all of this was a dark figure with a familiar sickening smile.
"this will teach you to meddle in my business you disgusting fleabags!"
And then her vision went black. She was still on her knees, sobbing. Itachi had his arms wrapped around her shaking form. He didn't know what was going on, all of a sudden she was in pain, screaming no, and tears falling from her face. What had just happened.
"hey, it's okay I'm here, really I'm right here." He held her closer as she became aware of her surroundings and clutched his shirt sobbing harder.
"ita-kun…it was horrible…I saw…death…a lot of death…"
Bewildered by the sudden notion he pulled her slightly away from him to look down at her face. He knew tsunade was able to see the future but sakura thought it was fake. She was hyperventilating because she had experienced the traumatic event for her self. She could feel how they died, the pain, them being terrified.
"shhh it's okay…I promise..I'm here. I'm sure it was nothing.."
She shook her head repeatedly, she now knew her aunt had never been faking the visions. It had all been true. She was so scared, so couldn't just let this one go. It was to real, she had not been dreaming. Why would her mind imagine something as horrific as that.
"Itachi….I saw your entire family….All dead…."
He froze, he remembered how tsunade once said sakura was the same as her. Whatever that had exactly meant but now he knew. She could see the future, and his future ferried him. He stood her up with him to look her in the eyes.
"when…"
"Itachi you need to go now…take everyone out…run..please don't ignore this….i…I never believed in any of this but…it was to real…I can't have you die…convince them….please."
Itachi hugged her close to him and kissed the top of her head like he always had when he was leaving. He didn't want to leave her but he had to save them. Even if it meant dying himself.
"I will…I won't die..I promise kura-chan" he knew it was a false promise for he had no idea of he would make it out alive but he be damned if he didn't try. One way or another he would save them.
Sakura watched as Itachi flew out the door back in his wolf form. She prayed for safe passage and that the vision would not come true. It would take him a week to get there. All's she could do is wait. Her tears flowed freely from her eyes. She felt that was the last time she would ever see him again.
Unable to coax herself to have a form of an appetite she went back to her room, ignoring this cruel world for the rest of the day..
Later that night
Knock, knock, knock.
Tsunade knocked on her nieces door. She had been worried because Sakura had not come out since she got back earlier that afternoon. She saw the blood on her carpet and instantly had known an uchiha had been there for healing assistance.
She frowned at the thought of one of then being inside her home while she had not been there. What if they betrayed sakura and hurt her or took her away. She was supposed to protect her at all costs.
"Sak? I'm home are you okay?"
There was no reply from the other side of the door. The paranoid feelings were hitting her at full force. It was on It like sakura to ignore her.
She gently opened the door and saw her nieces sleeping form, her face was tear stained and she wore the saddest face She had ever seen. Sakura was mumbling no in her sleep while twisting and turning. Her covers were thrown on to the floor.
Tsunade walked over and shook her attempting to wake her up.
"Sak…hey wake up…its just a bad dream…" sakura jumped at the sudden touch ready to push whoever it was away. Before she could she realized it was her aunt and she clung to her.
"aunty…are your visions real… can you really see the future…"
Tsunade was stunned at her question, sakura had always dismissed her visions as false, why would she suddenly be asking now. She placed her arms around sakura tightly, her dream must have been horrendous.
"i…yes…they can come true..but every once in a blue moon…they dont"
Sakura sobbed again throwing her hands into her face. She was violently shaking. She felt useless, like the world was completely against her. She had very little chance at ever seeing the uchiha clan again.
"sakura you've never believed that I could see that future…why the sudden questions what wrong?"
Tsunade held her niece closer, thinking of all the things that could have happened while she was gone. Had she had her own vision? If so why now, that part of her power should not have been unlocked until between her 18th and 21st birthday. Sakura mumbled into tsunades chest but she was unable to understand a word.
"sakura I couldn't understand what you said
Sakura pulled her face out of the busty woman's cheat, taking in a deep breath.
"I saw the entire uchiha clan…massacred.."
Hope you enjoyed!
