Chapter 3
Sakura
I woke up in a room completely unfamiliar to me. There was an Uchiha fan above the doorway. That was the only way I remembered where and when I was.
When I looked next to me there was eight year old Sasuke kneeling by the bed looking at me.
"Ohayou, sakura-chan." He said with a huge smile on his face
"Ohayou Sasuke-kun." Then there was a moment of silence passed before he spoke again.
"Can I call you nee-chan, Sakura-chan?" he asked. "I never had a nee chan before."
"Of course you can. Why don't we go downstairs for breakfast after I get changed, Sasuke-kun."
I stood up and grabbed the clothes off the dresser and went behind the changing screens. The outfit consisted of a red tank top with the thick straps and black shorts that ended about mid thigh. She had her headband tied around her left upper arm. Her hair was tied with a black ribbon in a pony tail
When I came out from behind the changing screens we both left the room and started going down the hall way and down the stairs to the kitchen where Mikoto was cooking.
I put on a smile before I asked, "do you need any help with making breakfast Mikoto-san?"
"Not at all, sakura-chan. why don't you go sit down at the table with Sasuke-kun. I'm almost done anyways." She said with a beautiful smile that showed her upper teeth.
"Okay then." at that moment Itachi came down and sat at the table, But not with out say 'ohayou' to everyone.
"Sit next to me sakura-nee-chan" Sasuke asked
Before answering, sakura let out a little giggle first. "Okay Sasuke-kun." was my reply.
I sat down then Mikoto set down the dishes for breakfast which consisted of onigiri, udon, and tempura.
"Wow. It looks delicious Mikoto-san." On the outside I sounded pleasantly calm but on the inside I was mentally preparing myself for the questions I was about to be bombarded with.
Normal
"Kaa-san, where's outo-san?" asked Sasuke while picking up
"He's still sleeping. He didn't get back until late last night. So don't be too loud right now. Anyways sakura-chan you're a kunoichi aren't you?"
At this sakura nodded her head yes so she wouldn't interrupt Mikoto speaking.
"What's your rank right now?" Mikoto finished
"Currently I'm a chuunin but I'm going to take the jounin exams soon but, I'm not really sure if I should."
"Why?" Itachi questioned
"I really don't think I'm strong enough. Cause both my teammates are really good and I'm just not as… good." sakura replied. When she answered she was thinking about how Sasuke was the Uchiha prodigy and Naruto held the Kyuubi.
"How did you get hurt in the woods?" Mikoto asked
Sakura hesitated before answering since she had no idea what to say so she decided to lie. "…I was training and I think I was attacked. But I'm not sure I really can't remember. And thank you for bandaging me up
"Where are you from? I don't think I've seen you around before." This time it was Itachi who asked.
Right now sakura was racking her head for answers for this question. Since she couldn't come up with anything she decided to come up with a half truth half lie. "I was born here but I lived in tea country. Then I traveled here after my outo-san and kaa-san died"
Everyone around her looked sympathetic for her but sakura flashed a smile and decided to clear up the tense atmosphere.
"Its alright I'm over their death. So what rank are you Itachi-san?" sakura asked.
"I'm jounin and if my father gets his way I'll soon be in anbu." He replied
After breakfast Itachi told sakura to get ready. They were going to walk Sasuke to the academy before they left to walk around the village. Sakura went up to the guest bedroom and strapped her black weapons pouch on her right thigh and medical bag on her left hip.
On the way to the academy Sasuke was talking about how weird the girls were in his class. "They're always looking at me and when I look at them they always laugh. I don't get it, what's so funny?"
At this sakura had to laugh and Itachi let out a smirk as well. "Sasuke-kun I think those girls might like you. Don't you like any of them?" sakura asked
"No, they're all really weird." Sasuke stated
Sakura decided to let out one more giggle and noticed Itachi still had a smirk on his face. "Have fun in class we'll come back after class is over. See you soon Sasuke-kun." Itachi said
Sakura ruffled his hair and said, "Bye Sasuke-kun" before walking off with Itachi.
"So where are we going first, Itachi-kun?" sakura asked cheerfully
"You don't have any clothes do you?" sakura shook her head no, "then let's go to the markets and get you some clothes to wear."
"Thank you so much Itachi-kun!" sakura gave him a hug and had a huge smile on her face that they were going shopping. Itachi on the other hand had a small smirk from the way she acted and a light blush on his cheeks from the hug.
They just dropped off the bags at the Uchiha district. She didn't buy much but only the essentials and enough to hold her off until she got her own money. They ended up wandering around the village before they had to pick up Sasuke.
"Thanks again Itachi-kun." She had a small smile grace her lips.
"I told you before its okay." He gave her a serious look because she was saying thank you for the past hour every five to ten minutes.
"Fine I'll stop now then." Sakura stuck her tongue out at him and ran away from him. Practically saying, 'catch me if you can.'
Itachi shook his head and ran after her through the meadow. Once he got close enough he tackled her down the hill. First making sure he landed on his back first, so sakura wouldn't get hurt. She seemed way to fragile and breakable. They were both rolling and laughing down the hill before they stopped moving.
When they stopped moving they were both laughing so hard that Sakura started to cry. When they stopped laughing they look at each other and that just made Sakura to go into another laughing fit. When she calmed down they both just lied on the ground and stared up at the clouds. Doing this reminded her, a lot of Shikamaru. She definitely had been hanging around him way to much.
Sakura looked down at her watch. It was 1:16 and the academy let out at 1:30 pm.
"I think we should go get Sasuke-kun now. Then we can go out for ramen at ichiraku where you showed me before," Sakura said. She was so hungry. Shopping can do that to a girl.
Itachi nodded his head and they started to get up. Once they were up sakura took his hand and started their journey to the academy. She was slightly blushing from her making the first move; even if it was as simple as holding his hand. He's still the Uchiha Itachi. Then they started walking towards the academy.
