'Anata Wa…?'
'And You Are…?'

Deidara looked up from the kitchen table to see Itachi leaning against a wall, eyes closed, thinking intently. Kisame was gulping down sake while Sasori was fumbling with his new puppet. Zestu, Hidan and Kakuzu were all outside, training. They were currently stationed at their little fort at the border of Suna. Deidara smacked his lips together.
"Do you think that the Hokage sent someone after us, yeah?"
Itachi ignored him. Deidara sighed "so quiet, yeah" he whispered. Kisame laughed as he wobbled off his chair, drinking more sake. Deidara rolled his eyes. What a drunken freak. Itachi's eyes shot open, red staring at his partner, commas still. "Someone is approaching" "One, great chakra level" Kisame smirked and swung his Sameheda "Well, what are we waiting for?"
Itachi looked at Sasori. "Inform the Leader that someone is coming" "It's very possible that he or she might be associated with the Kyuubi" Sasori nodded. Itachi and Kisame disappeared into a puff of smoke.
Sakura wiped the sweat from her forehead as she landed on a treetop. She saw a small fort, covered by vines and trees. It was dark gray with blue shutters. She leaned closer and could make out about three members of the Akatsuki fighting in the field behind the fort. Black cloaks with red clouds on them. Sakura smirked and gathered weapons in her hands. She sped threw the trees. Suddenly, she stopped. Bushes rustled and a snap of a twig was heard. Purple eyes widened. The place was silent.
Sakura turned around to see Kisame and Itachi. She was frozen in place. They were everything that they were heard or seen to be. Kisame was blue-skinned and reminded her of a man-eating shark. His large, bandaged Sameheda was behind him. Sakura shivered as she looked at the man next to him. The murderer of the Uchiha clan, the person who man Sasuke's life a living hell, the man who even Orochimaru is afraid of.
Uchiha Itachi.
Sakura breathed heavily as she faced the two Akatsuki members. Kisame grinned "what's one little ninja doing out here all alone?" he asked. Sakura clenched her fists "I am one of Konoha's best ANBU" she stated coolly. Kisame looked at her up to down. "You?" he asked disbelievingly.
She nodded and smirked. "My sensei is the legendary Haruno Sakura" "Surely, you must have heard of her" "She beat the Hyuga prodigy for the ANBU title, she is the head of the hospital and she has surpassed the Godaime herself" Itachi stood there, listening. The wind blew his ebony hair and Sakura could a pair of red eyes staring at her. Goosebumps trickled her skin.
Kisame smirked and took out his Sameheda "well, enough talk kunoichi, you shouldn't have come here" Sakura smirked and shook her head "no, you're the reason I came" Sakura punched the ground beneath her. Rocks flew up and sand splashed everywhere. Kisame and Itachi jumped up. Sakura threw some kunai which they easily dodged. She leaped down from the tree.
'I'll go after Kisame and then Itachi!'
She reappeared in front of Kisame. He swung his sword as Sakura ducked. A strand of black hair fell to the ground. Blue chakra formed in Sakura's hands. She reached out and tried to grab him. He dodged it and swung his Sameheda again. It hit Sakura, sending her flying back. Itachi smirked and watched as Sakura turned into a log.
Sakura opened the fan that Temari had given her. The trees began to glow a bright pink as Sakura raised the fan and brought it back. Swinging it forward, Kisame and Itachi were both thrown back, trying to catch on to a tree. Leaves and branches broke off. Rocks were scattered as grass was lifted from the earth. Freezing winds zipped threw the air.
Sakura took this as her chance. She summoned about three dozen clones and about a dozen water clones. They all charged at Kisame, kunai in hand. Sakura spun around and ran to the Uchiha prodigy. He disappeared as Sakura jumped over the traps he had laid. She threw a punch as him which he easily caught. Heat radiated threw her body as she felt him touch her skin.
'SAKURA!' 'FOCUS!'
Sakura flipped over, throwing some shuriken.
She ran to him. Quicker then Gai and Lee, the two exchanged punches and kicks. Itachi pinned Sakura to a tree. She looked at him. Sasuke flashed threw her mind. She kneed him and spit out blood. Itachi looked at her.
'Something is different about this kunoichi'
Sakura ran towards him, katana in hand. Itachi did some hand seals. Sakura stepped back and gasped.
"Katon: gokakyu no jutsu!"
A fire great, heated fireball was heading Sakura's way. She jumped onto a treetop and rapidly made some hand seals.
"Suiton: mizu ryuu no justu!"
Blue, clear water sprayed from Sakura's mouth, creating a large dragon. It extinguished the fire ball as steam rose. Sakura coughed and covered her mouth. She knew that Itachi was already planning another attack. Sakura saw Kisame staggering back to her. She ran to him, fan in hand. Another large gust of wind attacked him. She punched the tree in front of him. It came crashing down. Sakura threw a kunai attached with a explosive tag. Trees blew up. Bushes broke out from under the earth.
Sakura scanned the area. Kisame was picking himself up again but there was no sign of Itachi. She turned around just in time to block a kunai. He looked at her. "You are strong" he said. Sakura nodded "after spending so much time with Sasu…Sakura-sama, I know that shinobi always have to be on the alert and identify the opponent's weakness" Sakura stuttered.
Itachi raised an eyebrow and pushed Sakura up against a tree. "Do you know the Kyuubi?" he asked. Sakura's cheeks reddened. She squirmed to get out of his grasp but he was too powerful. Sakura gulped "g-get off of me!" she said angrily. Sakura began to feel Inner Sakura begin to take over her. She forced the thought out of her mind as she raised her foot slightly and tapped the tree. It came crashing down with a large thump.
Sakura threw shuriken's from all directions at Kisame and Itachi. Itachi blocked them all with his kunai. "You'll never get Naruto-kun!" she screamed. Sakura ran towards the Uchiha prodigy and kicked him hard. He turned into smoke. Sakura frantically searched for him. A pain seethed through her head.
Her eyes widened.
'This is…
Itachi appeared in front of her. He looked down at the kunoichi on her knees. Sweat rolled down her cheeks. A large gash was across her arm. Purple eyes met blood-red ones. Sakura saw the commas spin. Her mind began to get dizzy. Sakura felt pain shoot threw her body.
"Tsukuyomi!"
'Sasuke-kun, don't leave, I beg of you!'
'Weak'
'You nearly died all because of a burden'
Sakura stood in the middle of a dark room. Red painted the walls. Green eyes searched for any sign of light. Then, suddenly a scream echoed threw out the air. Shakily, Sakura pressed herself against the wall as she saw something fall to the ground. Ino fell to the ground, blood caked her arms. She coughed and reached her hand out. "Forehead g-girl…" she moaned.
Sakura gasped and ran to her best friend. She reached her hand out to grab Ino. Ino groaned. Sakura's eyes widened as she saw her hand slip threw Ino's as if she were invisible. "Ino!" she yelled, tears rolling down her cheeks. She tried again and again but still, Sakura couldn't grab her hand.
Ino stopped. Her eyelids slowly closed. Sakura was silent. She could literally hear her heart beating. This was about ten times scarier then the ninja's scroll attack yesterday.
She was completely terrified.
Images flashed threw her mind. All she saw was red. Red. The color of blood.
Sakura backed herself up again into the wall. She was shaking all over. Pain shot threw her body and her jaws. It was so quiet. Ino lay on the ground, lifeless. Sakura heard screaming and metal clashing. Horrible pictures flashed threw her mind. A sickening smell made its way to her nostrils. Quivering, Sakura brought her hands up to her face.
They were covered in blood.
Ino's blood.
Suddenly, a bloodcurdling scream echoed threw out the forest.
