Chapter 3

Itachi walked to the Hokage's tower. Once inside he silently made himself to the third Hokage's office. Knocking politely he soon heard a, "Come in." Steeping inside he looked at the Hokage; he looked tired but altogether happy, "Hello Itachi-san. Have you come for a mission?" Itachi shook his head and then bowed deeply, "I have come here to ask you to do one thing for me. A favor if you will." The third raised an eyebrow; Itachi never asked for anything, "So what is it?"

Itachi bowed lower, "I have fallen in love with a girl, but she doesn't know who I am. I've pretended to be a spirit to get close to her and now that I am so close she pushes me away. I want to get an arranged marriage. She might not want it…or should I say she will not want it, but I know that she could learn to love me." The Hokage's eyes widened, "Have you told your parents of your plans?" Itachi shook his head, "No, they want me to marry another Uchiha, but I have no interest in them. I know that once they look at my face they will draw back in fear and curse my name under their breath every time they see me."

The Hokage's eyes softened, "Itachi-san…" Itachi bit his lip and fell on his knees, "Please Hokage-sama. I have never asked for anything in my life other than to be normal and to be loved. I know now that the only woman that would truly love me is Sakura Haruno! Even though at first it might be painful. I know that deep in my heart she will accept me like no other can!"

Clearly not knowing what to do the Hokage whispered kindly, "Itachi-san stand up and look at me." Itachi did as he was told. The Hokage could see Itachi's eyes start to water and hidden pain, "I…I will grant you your wish. I think that her family will be pleased to enter into such a powerful Clan."

Itachi smiled truly, "Thank-you Hokage-sama! Please tell Sakura-chan the news for me. At first she won't even know who I am. But I will try my hardest to gain her love and her trust!" The Hokage nodded and looked at the papers in front of his desk, 'This could get messy if Miss Haruno doesn't learn to love him. Then that coup de'etat that we feared might really happen.'

Sakura was called down to the Hokage's office along with her parents. Sakura knitted her eyebrows together in confusion, 'What could this be about?' As soon as they entered the Hokage's office she saw Sasuke and his older brother Itachi? Yeah, that was his name. Along with Sasuke's parents.

Sakura blushed slightly once see saw Sasuke stare at her. The Hokage lifted his hand to his head and spoke loudly, "I'm going to arrange a marriage." Sasuke's father growled, "Between who? One of my sons will have to marry that pink-haired brat?" Sasuke's mom glared at Sasuke's dad, "Shut-up and listen to what the Hokage has to say!" My parents Yuna and Ryuu looked at each other, "So you're telling me that Sakura will be Uchiha Sakura?"

The Hokage smiled, "Okay, now listen. To make the ties with our village better and to let Itachi produce an heir this must happen. Sakura gasped, 'Itachi? But I wanted Sasuke-kun! Oh this is so wrong!' Itachi glanced at Sakura and noticed the look of horror on her face. He flinched slightly before looking back at the Hokage.

Mikoto growled, "Did you ask Itachi if this is what he wanted? He could still find a girl!" Itachi fondly looked at his mom, "Yeah, this is fine with me." Sakura after hearing what Itachi said shivered in anger, "Did anyone ever asked what I wanted?"
