Recap

Sakura failed to notice a pair of red eyes watching every move she made. From waking up and turning the light on to her wrapping her arms in bandages.

"What has my otouto done to you?" the man with red eye said. And in a blink of an eye he was gone.

End recap

Beep

Beep

Be-

The alarm clock was violently cut off by a fist slamming down on it.

"IM UP DAMN IT"!!

Sakura groggily rose to her feet. She looked at the calendar that hung on the wall.

'March 28'

I wonder if anyone has remembered my birthday this year, no one remembered last year.

As Sakura was taking a shower she decided to sing a poem that she felt was connected to her in a way.

I will tell you, if you are willing to listen

Though the words are hard to find

I will let you see the honest truth

Spoken from a cutter's mind

She grabbed a bar of soap and started to scrub at her wrists.

The Razor blade became my very best friend

In my young teenage years

I released the pain that hid inside

Through a different type of tears

The cuts on her wrists re-opened but she didn't care. She relished the feeling of her blood pouring out.

The shining sharp edges of my only friend

So soon to hit a vein

Crimson rivers forming patterns

The bittersweet sort of pain

Blood mixed with water as she continued to scrub her self clean.

My soul slowly disappeared

I could feel that it was gone

But I never really had the time to care

For I had my blade to rely on

Sakura stepped out of the shower and pulled a black fluffy towel around her self, her wrists were still bleeding and she was still singing the poem.

I always make sure to fake my smile

I never gave them a reason to worry

But each and every crimson scar

Hid a secret story

Her crimson coloured blood dripped onto the towel and carpet as she walked. Her damp hair dripped and clung to her neck.

Every day the same routine

I put on my disguise

And the razor blade helped me remove the pain

They could not read from my eyes

She walked to her closet and took out some clothes. A black tank top, a black frilly skirt, black fishnet tights, black shoulder gloves and a pair of black knee high boots.

Everything was dead in this uncaring world

Yet they did not see how it hurt

I couldn't express the pain I felt

I just choked on every word

She tied her pink hair up and slipped her clothes on, crimson liquid pours from her wounds. HER blood has dripped onto the sheets of her bed. Her blood leaving a crimson stain, she doesn't notice.

Therefore, I relied on my dearest friend

The one who pain releases

My life was like a blackened puzzle

Full of missing pieces

Her black highlighted hair glows in the light, making her even more beautiful, Sakura no longer cared about looks. She is different and proud to be she doesn't give a shit about what people think of her now. She just glares at them with her cold dark green eyes if they make a comment. She loves to see their frightened faces.

But there was one piece missing

From the very painful start

And I believe that missing piece

Was the one that belonged to my heart

She walked to her dressing table and picked up her nose ring, lip rings and ear studs and put them in. she had five piercings (sp?) in each ear, she had her bottom lip done twice and her left eyebrow pierced once.

They say they understand how I feel

But the truth is they never do

You will never understand self-harm

Unless you have gone through it too

Sakura looked at the cloak once more it was 8:15am she had less than 10 minutes to get to the bridge. She Naruto and Kakashi met there every Saturday and would spar or go to Ichiraku (sp?)

I have been judged because I cut

And each time it just gets tougher

But before your prejudices start to unfold

Remember: I didn't choose to suffer

The blood on her wrists had dried leaving a strong smell of iron behind. The blood was crusty and flaked off easily, before Sakura left she washed her cuts and put her shoulder length gloves on.

It was not my choice to live like this

Have it run through every vein

I did not choose to die inside

To live my life in pain

Sakura left her apartment after locking the door she was still singing.

You may see someone shining, smiling

But remember that Depression deceives

For that person may be hiding the darkest of secrets

Underneath these sleeves

Sakura finished singing the poem when she got to the bridge. As usual she was the first to arrive. It has always been like that ever since Sasuke left to Orochimaru. She would be the first to arrive Naruto would be about ten minutes late and Kakashi would be about three to four hours late.

Sakura sighed she was so board and Naruto wouldn't be there for another ten minutes or so. Sakura suddenly felt strong chakra; it was higher than jonin level. It wasn't a ninja from the village; it had a different pattern to anyone's in the village. Suddenly the chakra signal disappeared. Sakura let a breath she didn't know she held in.

Sakura gasped she could feel hot breath on her neck and someone touching her shoulder.

"Hello blossom" a man whispered in her ear.

Sakura spun around and came face to face with…

"Uchiha Itachi" Sakura said without a hint of emotion.

"Im not here for the kyuubi or to attack you. Im here to make a deal with you".

"And why exactly would I make a deal with a bastard like you"!?

"Watch your tongue blossom. And I believe that you desire power, im i right"?

"I can get power right here thank you very much."

"Is that so? Do you know they are going to do, hmmm? There going to strip you of your ninja ranks. They think you are weak". Itachi said while smirking.

"And how would you know this"? Sakura asked

"I know this because I killed an elder and used henge and transformed into him, I heard every word they said".

Well I did here Tsunade-sama talking about how weak I was. And that they needed someone stronger.

"Fine, im in. but I want to stay in the village for a couple of months ok"?

"Good, leader will be pleased. If you don't mind would you do some spy work please"?

"Yes I will" Sakura answered

"I want you to meet me here every Friday at 6p" And once Itachi said that he was gone in a poof of smoke but not before kissing Sakura on the cheek.

Well he was speaking the truth I did hear Tsunade-sama saying I was weak and they needed someone stronger an- DID HE JUST KISS ME!?

Well that was chapter 2. PLZ review I'm aiming to get 10 Plz help me and I would really appreciate it if you did review
