Sasuke: *snorts quietly*

Me: *glares*

Review...or I might end up killing that jerk!

Sakura: *glares at me*


Yuri let her hands fall on the black and white keys of their piano.

Well, Sasuke and she say it's 'theirs' but Yuri didn't believe he could actually play.

"It's so boring without Onii-sama!", she whined.

Jumping lightly down her piano chair and onto the window rail, she sighed dreamily as she watched two birds flying around each other.

"Ne, Itachi-sama…", she trailed off looking into the sky, "I hope Sasuke-nii-sama will be happy, too."

She giggled lightly.

"I miss you. Maybe, we'll see each other some time after my death."

The blond girl began to hum a light tune.

She remembered Itachi always falling asleep on her when she hummed. He was one sleepy head.

Unlike Sasuke.

It's not that Sasuke's up at 6 in the morning but at about ten or eleven.

Back then, she had to wait for hours until Itachi woke up.

Her gaze fell onto the village near the hideout.

"I want to go out, Itachi-sama…You think I can when I ask him?"

She sighed pushing her thoughts back.

"You know there's been this girl lately. She's got red hair and red eyes and all and she's really clinging to Onii-sama. His team doesn't know who I am…and she was really mean to me, too. I didn't do anything to her and she was bitching around", she gasped, "Gomenasai, I used a bad word, Itachi-sama!"

Silence filled the room for a while until Yuri started talking again.

"I really want to go outside…I should just ask Onii-sama, right?"


Pink hair swayed in the wind as Sakura made her way towards a small village.

She should take down some rogue nins that found reside there, nothing big a simple solo mission, only B-ranked.

But the pinkette could care less with the other missions you got as ANBU and hospital shifts her check wasn't the smallest one.

Then there was the heritage of her parents, too, but she rarely touched it.

Once she had settled down in a nearby inn she found herself liking the beautiful village with its busting streets, cheerful people and appealing market.

Deciding to start her mission tomorrow she went to look around for a bit.


She had again started humming and lightly walked through the corridors towards Akatsuki's meeting room where she was sure to find Sasuke.

When she arrived a big smile was plastered on her face.

With a bit effort she pushed the big doors open.

Inside she came face to face with a nice looking, but HUGE man with orange hair, a man with white hair even though the tips were blue and shark teeth and that girl.

Sasuke of course was there too.

The girl with red hair looked at her and tried to glare intimidating.

"What do you want here? It's no place for little kids. Leave, now and get lost!", she said or rather…screeched.

Turning to ignore her she ran towards Sasuke and sat on his lap.

She heard the shark boy gasped as she faced him.

"Onii-sama! I wanna go out", she said while pouting.

The red head(she later found out her name was Karin) nearly fell from her chair.

"No", Sasuke deadpanned, his arms protectively around her.

"Why not?", Yuri whined.

"Because I said so."

"But Hana-chan's mother let her go out all by herself to play with other kids and she's 2 years younger than me!"

"Do I look like Hana's mother?"

Suigetsu laughed.

Who knew the Uchiha could joke?

"Well…your hair does-"

"You're not going. It's too dangerous for you."

Yuri crossed her arms before her chest as an idea popped into her head.

She knew which buttons to press to get what she wanted.

"Itachi-sama always let me go out", she stated grinning in triumph.

Her brother sighed.

"Fine…but if you're not back before it's dark, I-"

"Hai, hai", Yuri sang while kissing him on the cheek and rushing out of the room leaving Sasuke with a stunned team behind.

"Get me some tomatoes, too!", he called after her.


Wandering the streets a shop selling sweets caught Yuri's eyes.

She had never eaten sweets before.

Looking at Sasuke's money she held in her small hands a smile crept onto her lips.

Wisely she had taken more with her than needed for the tomatoes.

The shop keeper smiled warmly at her as she entered the shop and chuckled slightly when he saw the young girl's eyes going wide.

Yuri had never seen this many delicious, looking sweets before.

"Anosa, ojii-sama?"

"Yes? How can I help you, miss?"

Using her arms to emphasize what she meant she spoke.

"What's the yuuuuuumiest sweet you have?"

"Hm…let me think. What about this chocolate? Or is chocolate too boring?"

"Ehm…what is chocolate?"

"You don't know?", the old man asked her, flabbergasted.

Yuri blushed and shook her head.

The man gave her a piece of something brown.

Slightly warily she put the "chocolate" in her mouth, but gasped when it melted on her tongue.

"Woah! It's delicious!"

"Right?", the man chuckled.

"Can I buy some?"

"Of course."

After successfully buying chocolate and getting a lollipop as a present from the shop keeper, the blonde walked happily down the streets towards the market.

She stopped at the third stand selling vegetables because the tomatoes here looked really fresh and ripe.

The merchandiser gladly sold the many tomatoes the young girl was buying.

Now with two plastic bags in her small hands, Yuri skipped happily down the streets enjoying herself.

That was until a very mean pebble decided to suddenly jump in front of her feet, tripping her in the process.

A small "Eek" sound escaped her lips as the plastic bags went flying and she caught herself right before she would have hit the ground face first.


The first thing that happened to Sakura as she walked down the streets of the small village was two plastic bags flying towards her.

With the grace that only a skilled shinobi possessed she caught the bags so that the contents stayed inside and didn't fall all over the place.

Looking for the owner she skidded to a halt.

A small hand tugged at her sleeve and made her look down.

Before her stood the most beautiful, little girl she had ever seen.

Her long, blond hair danced around her as the wind picked up and her purple eyes had that pretty sparkle in them.

The girl smiled at her a little and bowed lightly.

"Thank you very much, onee-sama, for catching the bags."

Sakura laughed lightly and handed her the bags.

"No need to thank me. Let me see your knees, they are lightly scrapped and that's not a pretty thing to see. Your parents would surely be not happy if your clothes are stained."

The girl stared at her, but did what she was told.

"I'm not sure what my parents would think but I am sure Onii-sama won't be happy."

Sakura nodded and reminded herself not to bring up the topic of the girl's parents.

"Are you a healer?", the pretty girl asked her.

"Not healer. But medic nin."

Now it was the girl's turn to nod.

"I'm Sakura by the way."

"…I'm Yuri."

Sasuke had told her not to mention who she was to anyone but first this woman seemed reaaaally nice and trustworthy and second please. It wasn't like she told her, hi I'm an Akatsuki member and that brother that I spoke of is actually a S-ranked missing nin, or something.

"Nice to meet you, Yuri. So, who's that brother you speak of?"

"Um…well…some people rather…dislike him…so he told me not to tell his name to anyone."

"Oh…I see."

Sakura became a bit wary; this poor girl wasn't abused by this 'Onii-sama' now, was she?

"And…do you...I don't know, like your brother?"

Yuri's eyes lit up.

"Of course! He made some wrong decisions in life that he regrets now but he's actually very nice and caring. A lot of people around him died…and still do, that's why it's difficult for him to let someone in and people often misunderstand that…", she quieted down after her expression turned sad.

Sakura could feel that all too familiar pang in her chest that reminded her of long forgotten days and…persons.

She knew someone that was the same and it hurt her to know that Yuri's brother has to go through the same that Sasuke has to go through.

The pinkette had long since tried to shut off her love for the raven but who was she kidding?

You don't just stop loving probably the love of your life, just because he hurt you.

"I feel bad for your brother, Yuri-chan. But you know, since your brother seems to let you in, that's okay, right? And you have to take good care of him, because people like him suffer a lot. They need someone to stop the darkness to consume them", she whispered and ruffled the little girl's hair.

Yuri nodded eagerly.

"I'm gonna do my best, Sakura-san."

Said woman chuckled lightly

"Do you want me to show you around?"
Sakura blinked a bit confused.

"How do you know I'm not from here?"

Yuri chuckled.

"Your headband."

"Oh, right. Well, I've already looked around at the market…about you show me a place that's…a bit more quiet?"

The blonde nodded and made her way through the streets until they arrived at a small park with only a few people around.

Sakura had hurried behind her taking it upon herself to carry her bags.

The park was truly beautiful; it was spring so the Sakura trees were blooming already.

The petals were carried around by the wind and made it look like pink and white snow.

Yuri led her towards a bench under a tree in the middle of the park.

"Wow…it's amazing", Sakura breathed.

She nodded.

Sometimes Sasuke would bring her here and he would get all quiet and stare at the Sakura trees being deep in thought about something.

Then her gaze fell upon the setting sun and a gasp escaped her.

Sakura's head whipped around towards her.

"What is it?"

The blond hurriedly scrambled off the bench and grabbed her bags.

"Onii-sama will be angry if I'm not home soon!"

And then she took off, but directly halted again and turned around.

"It was nice meeting you, Sakura-san. I hope to see you again some day. And maybe Onii-sama's with me and you two could meet. I think you would fit together perfectly!"

She left Sakura wondering about the little, blonde girl.


Just after Yuri arrived home, Sasuke came out of the meeting room with his team.

Grinning she handed him his bag.

Sasuke raised a suspicious eyebrow.

"What's up with you?"

Her grin widened.

"I met a really nice woman today…"

Sasuke sighed. What about not talking to strangers or something?

"And?", he urged her to go on.

"I think you should marry her!"

The raven heard Karin gasp behind him.


Well...I..just don't like Karin all that much. Kay? Kay.

If you happen to like her, I won't bash her too much ((:

sakura: Just bash her already!

Sasuke: Aa...

Suigetsu: BASH HER! and hello beautiful *wiggles eyebrows at Sakura*

Karin: get your ass back here, fish face, you're not important enough to make an appearance here!

Sasuke: *mutter* Damn right about that.

Suigetsu: Oh please, Karin. You just what and need to get laid.

...By me!

Me: Review and I will help to stop this scarring event from happening!
