SasuSaku: TITANIC Chapter 2: A Fateful Meeting.

(Note: Hey guys! It's Aerisuke here. So guess what? is back, baby! I'm also back too! Yay! But I also made a mistake in the cast. Tsunade does not play Rose Dewitt Bukater. She plays Ruth Dewitt Bukater, Rose's mother. Sorry for the confusion! Also, the characters are from Part II (Shippuden) of Naruto because Sakura is seventeen. Also, the reason why Sasuke is sixteen is because obviously his birthday is on July 23 and Titanic sank on April 15, 1912.)

Later that night…

As Sakura was at dinnertime with her family and friends, she felt somehow… sad and angry for some reason. Why? It was because of the way that her own mother, Tsunade, was forcing her own daughter to marry Itachi. There was only one thing that Sakura had to do. And that… was to kill herself.

After Sakura went inside her cabin, she sat on her chair, put her head on top of her crossed arms, and began crying.

"I want to go home." cried Sakura to herself. But, she realized that she wasn't able to go home because she was going to America. She then took her kunai, and cut her long hair, which ended up becoming short.

Sakura then ran out of her room, crying, while running to the stern of the ship.

Meanwhile, with Sasuke…As Sasuke was laying down on the bench while looking up at the stars, he heard running footsteps and crying as Sakura passed by him while running.

"Who was that?" asked Sasuke to himself as he walked over to Sakura who got on the front of the ship as she was about to commit suicide.

"What are you doing out here so late at night? Shouldn't you be going to bed?" asked Sasuke.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm trying to kill myself! That's what I'm doing! What more do you want, huh?" asked an annoyed Sakura.

"Look. I was just wondering why a pretty girl like you would want to kill herself." said Sasuke.

"What? Look. Just go away, okay? Leave me alone!" cried Sakura.

"I can't. I'm sorry. I just don't want you to get hurt." said Sasuke.

"Does this guy really care about me? Who does he think he is? Who is he, some kind of stalker?" asked Sakura to herself.

"Look. Just grab my hand. Trust me on this, okay?" asked Sasuke.

"Why should I? You don't know me. I don't even have a clue on who the heck you are!" cried Sakura. Now she was REALLY mad.

"Just do what I say, and give me your hand, okay? Otherwise, I could let you go if you asked me to." said Sasuke.

"Well, I would fall off of the ship if you hadn't rudely interrupted me!" cried Sakura.

"Me? Interrupting you? You know, you really are a feisty one. But fine. I'll let you go." said Sasuke.

"Thank you." said Sakura as Sasuke was about to walk away from her.

As Sakura resumed her suicide attempt, she was afraid to jump off of the ship.

"Uh, sir?" asked Sakura.

"What?" asked Sasuke who abruptly appeared right behind Sakura.

"How'd you get here so fast?" asked Sakura.

"I was sitting right by that bench that was near you. So… what do you want?" asked Sasuke.

"Um, a little help here." said Sakura.

"You should have said so in the first place." said Sasuke as he walked over to Sakura, and said:

"Come on. Give me your hand."

Sakura then grabbed Sasuke's hand as she turned around to face him as he introduced himself.

"I'm Sasuke Uchiha. What's your name?" asked Sasuke.

"Sakura Haruno." replied Sakura.

Just then, as Sakura almost fell off of the stern of the ship, Sasuke quickly grabbed her hands before she even fell.

"I'm scared! Help me!" cried Sakura as her legs were dangling.

"It's okay, Sakura! I got you! Trust me on this, alright?" asked Sasuke.

"I trust you." said Sakura.

After hearing Sakura's cries for help, Itachi and the rest of the Akatsuki rushed to her side.

"What the devil?" asked Itachi as he saw Sakura laying down on the ground with Sasuke hovering over her.

"It's been a long time… Sasuke." said Itachi as Sakura stood up.

"Itachi… Uchiha…" said Sasuke as he glared at Itachi.

Sakura then looked at Sasuke, and then back at Itachi.

"Itachi, you know him?" asked Sakura.

"Yes… he's my little brother." answered Itachi.

Itachi then took Sasuke by the hand as his little brother stood up.

"Just what do you think you were doing with my fiancée?" asked an angry Itachi.

"Itachi." said Sakura as she stood up.

"Your fiancée? I didn't even know that she was engaged to you! She didn't tell me you were getting married!" cried Sasuke who was shocked at Sakura and Itachi's engagement.

"Yes. We're getting married next week. I'd better not see you at the wedding, Sasuke. You understand?" asked Itachi.

"Why do I even bother coming to the wedding? I just saved Sakura's life. That's all I did. It's not like I raped her or anything." said Sasuke.

Itachi then looked at Sakura.

"Sakura… would you mind telling me how this whole incident happened?" asked Itachi who wanted an explanation from her.

"Well, this isn't exactly what it looks like. I was trying to look out at the ocean, and I slipped. But Sasuke here ended up saving me. That's why I say that instead of blaming Sasuke for this whole incident, why don't you thank your own little brother for saving your fiancee instead, Itachi?" asked Sakura.

"Fine. Thank you… Sasuke." said Itachi as he gave Sasuke a hug.

"Did he just hug me? After ten years of hating Itachi after killing our whole clan… he hugs me! Seriously! Why in the name of Konoha would he do that?" asked Sasuke to himself.

"Well then, Sasuke, now that you saved Sakura and all, why not join us for dinner tomorrow night?" asked Kisame.

Sasuke then looked at Sakura, and back at the Akatsuki.

"I would love to." said Sasuke.

"Great! Well, see you tomorrow night!" cried Kisame with a smile.

"Come on, Sakura. Let's get you inside. You must be freezing." said Itachi as he gave Sakura an extra Akatsuki jacket that he found.

Sometime later…As Sakura was getting ready for bed, she was sitting on her chair right in front of her mirror which was on a table.

Itachi then came into his cabin that he shared with Sakura, and walked towards his fiancée, as he had something behind his back to give her.

"Itachi, what's behind your back?" asked a suspicious Sakura.

"Well… I was going to save this for the engagement party next week… but then I thought… why not tonight?" asked Itachi as he put on a necklace (a.k.a. The Heart Of The Ocean) on Sakura's neck.

"You like it? Fancy, isn't it? You do know what this is called, right?" asked Itachi.

"The Heart Of The Ocean. Mother told me that Father gave this to her before they got married." said Sakura.

"Yes, but your father is dead." said Itachi.

"I know that. I was sixteen when he died. Here I am, a seventeen-year-old girl about to be married to an almost twenty-one-year-old man." said Sakura as she looked at Itachi.

"Yes, you're right." said Itachi as he bent down to Sakura's side, touched her left cheek with his right hand as he turned her face around to face his, and said:

"Sakura… you only belong to me… no one else… but me. So… promise me… promise me that you will not become unfaithful to me. Do you understand?"

Sakura then silently nodded her head.

"Good. Now go to bed." said Itachi as he left Sakura alone in their cabin while he went to go hang out with his Akatsuki buddies.

"Sasuke…" said Sakura to herself as she was thinking of Sasuke.

Meanwhile, with Sasuke…Sasuke was telling Naruto and the rest of their friends about his meeting with Sakura.

"Sasuke, why'd you do that? I mean, why couldn't you just let her fall off the ship and kill herself?" asked Naruto.

"Hey, look, she tried killing herself, okay? But she was too scared to jump off since it was like Kami knows how many feet she was above the ocean. I just couldn't let her die. I already lost my whole clan and my parents. I don't want to lose anyone else that's precious to me ever again." said Sasuke.

"But wait. Didn't you say that she was engaged to Itachi?" asked Sai.

"Yes." replied Sasuke.

"Does she know that you're engaged to Karin?" asked Hinata.

"No. I haven't even told her, I mean, I just met her, Hinata!" cried Sasuke.

"Yeah, but you do know that your engagement party with Karin is next week, right?" asked Naruto.

"I know. On top of that… Sakura's getting married next week, too." said Sasuke.

"Who told you that?" asked Naruto.

"Itachi. He said so himself." said Sasuke.

"Wait. You bumped into Itachi while meeting Sakura?" asked Tenten.

"Actually, he and his Akatsuki buddies came after hearing Sakura's cries for help. At first, Itachi got mad at me because he thought I was "raping Sakura", but then Sakura said that instead of Itachi getting mad at me, instead, he should thank me for rescuing her. What was weird was that he hugged me. After 10 years of me hating and wanting to kill my own brother for killing our clan, he actually hugs me! Can you believe that?" cried Sasuke.

"Well, maybe he's seen the light." said Naruto.

"Seen the light? Well… I still think he's the same cold-hearted love child that wants to kill me. I think all he wants is our Uchiha Clan money so he can marry Sakura. I don't know." said Sasuke.

"Well, when are you seeing her, Sasuke?" asked Naruto.

"Tomorrow. I'm meeting her family for dinner tomorrow night. So I'd better go to bed." said Sasuke.

"Yeah. I agree. Wait. Can we come?" asked Naruto.

"Yes." said Sasuke.

"But, what about Orochimaru, Kabuto, and the rest of Team Hawk? Aren't they going, too?" asked Sai.

"Yes. I could probably lie to Sakura saying that Karin is my old childhood friend." said Sasuke.

"Sasuke, I think you should tell Sakura the truth. I mean, you wouldn't want to lie to someone that you just met. I find that kind of rude." said Sai.

"Yeah. Sai's right, Sasuke. Just tell Sakura about your engagement to Karin." said Ino.

"Anyway, I'm going to bed. Good night guys." said Sasuke as he went back to his cabin that he shared with Karin.

"Good night, Sasuke!" cried all the Genin (excluding Sakura).

Later that night…Karin and Sasuke were getting ready for bed.

"So Sasuke. I heard that you saved that girl, Sakura." said Karin.

"Who told you that?" asked Sasuke.

"Everyone in the whole ship is talking about it." said Karin.

"Is that so?" asked Sasuke as Karin nodded her head.

"Sasuke-kun… listen to me." said Karin as she turned Sasuke's body around to face her and put her left hand on his right cheek.

"You belong to no one else but me. I don't ever want that Sakura take you away from me. So whatever you do, Sasuke, don't fall in love with her. Do you understand?" asked Karin as Sasuke nodded his head.

"Good. Well… good night… my love." said Karin as she kissed Sasuke's cheek, laid down on her pillow, and fell fast asleep.

"Good night." said Sasuke as he started thinking about Sakura.

"Sakura…" said Sasuke to himself as he remembered his first meeting with Sakura.

"Father… Mother… I only wish you were here. If you were here… then you probably would not have wanted your youngest son to marry Karin… would you?" asked Sasuke to himself as tears fell out of his eyes while thinking of his deceased parents. He then laid down, and thought of Sakura while quietly crying himself to sleep.

Meanwhile, Sakura was also sleeping in her bed that she shared with Itachi, and remembered her deceased father's death.

"Father… you would not have wanted me to marry Itachi… would you?" asked Sakura to herself as tears fell out of her eyes as she began crying quietly and fell asleep while thinking of Sasuke.
