Who has to know?

The way she feels inside. Those thoughts I can't deny. These sleeping dogs won't lie. And now I tried to but it's eating me apart. Trace this nightmare

I loved her more then anything. She was the one thing that was going right in my life when I was younger. And still was. Ever since I had met her I loved her. Those innocent emerald pools that could stare through your soul. Her hair, soft as silk. And he smile. Back then It was rare to see such a sight. But when you did, it could make you warm on the coldest day of winter.

I sighed as I stared at her sleeping form laying down in our bed. I watched her chest rise and fall with every breath she took. I had loved her since the first time I saw her crying in the woods.

Itachi made his way through the woods going to the place where he usually went to train. He was ANBU captain so he was always training. He stopped walking when her heard small sobs. He turned and looked at the small child. She must have been around the same age as his annoying younger brother.

He couldn't help but looked at her. Her fragile body just shook with sadness. She looked so broken and sad. She reminded him of his self. He was broken. So much was expected from him. He slowly made his way towards her. He kneed down in front of her. He brought his hand up, and she flinched.

She started at him wide eyed. She tried to move her self away from him, Only to be stopped by the tree trunk. "Please don't hit me." she said, bringing her hands to cover her face. She had many cuts on her arms and not to mention the large cut on her face.

"Who hit you?" he asked, trying to move her hand from her face. "I promise I won't hurt you." he said. She slowly lowered her hands, trying to wipe the tears away. "Why are you crying?" he asked.

"I'm not crying!" she bit back. "I'm trying to be a Kunoichi... and Kunoichi don't show emotion... so they don't cry." she said, trying to take a breath in but failed.

"It's okay to cry sometimes." he said. "I cried a lot when I was your age."

"Really?" she said.

"Yep. My whole family put so much pressure on me. That I would just cry."

"But your strong."

"You get stronger, if you believe in your self. If you have no one to encourage you, how could you love your self. I had so many people telling me that I was doing so bad. But I believe that if I tried I could get better. And now look at me."

"Everyone hates me..." she said, starting to cry again.

"Why would someone hate you. You're so pretty, and smart." he said, wiping some tears away from her face.

"My body's to small, I have a large forehead, I have ugly hair. And I'm fat!" she cried harder.

"Stop!" his voice stronger then he wanted it to be. "If you would stop looking at all the things that you thought where wrong with you. And started looking into the things that make you you. You wouldn't be crying because you would know they where wrong. For one. You're supposed to be small. You may have a big forehead." he said, a whine came from her mouth.

"But I'm sure you'll grow into and. It means your smart. And your hair it's not ugly. It's unique. And you're not fat. In fact I think your perfect." he said, moving her hair form covering her face. Sakura smiled at him, and gave him a hug.

He hadn't had a hug in a couple years. His family never hugged him. "Thank you." she said, he felt her hot tears on his cold skin.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Sakura. Haruno Sakura." she smiled.

"Sakura, eh? How about I call you Blossom." he smiled. Her smile widened. She nodded. "Now, Blossom who gave you those cuts?"

"Uchiha Sasuke..." Sakura said, looking down. She felt his chakra change. She looked up to see the blood red Sharingan. She gasped.

"Are you afraid, Blossom?" he asked. She looked away. "Please look at me." and she did. She looked up at him even though she was scared she looked him strait in the eyes. "Why... Why are you looking at me?" he asked.

"Because your my friend. And I'm not afraid. Because friends are friends." she smiled, and gave him a small kiss on his cheek.

His eyes widened, and turned back into his normal blue black color. "My name is Uchiha Itachi. I'm Sasuke's older brother."

"How can you be related to him. You're so nice. And he... he's a butt!" Itachi smiled.

"Let's go make sure Sasuke say's he's sorry."

"Have you found her body yet?" Tsunade asked.

"No Tsunade-sama." an ANBU said.

"Keep looking." The ANBU quickly left.

"Do you think it was smart to kill her?" Shizune asked. Tsunade looked up and glared at her apprentice.

"Hush Shizune. No one is to know."

"Tsunade, why did you send her off to be killed."

"She was in the way. I didn't need her anymore. She was becoming to strong."

"Where you jealous. That she was as strong as you. Maybe even stronger?"

"Shut your mouth."

Sakura walked behind Itachi, holding onto his pants, as they walked into the park where all the kids played. "Where do you want to play, Blossom?" Itachi asked.

"Can we go play on the swing?" she asked. She looked over at the swings and noticed there where kids playing on it. "Never mind." she said, quickly.

"Why not?"

"Kiba's playing on it. That's a no no."

"I don't care, let's go play, Blossom." Itachi said, pulling Sakura over to the swings.

"Ita-kun no! We can't!" Sakura cried, as they made there way to the swing. Kiba and Shino looked up and saw the two of them.

"What are you doing here, Forehead girl!" Kiba laughed. "I don't want you playing here." Kiba said.

Sakura looked down. "I'm sorry Inuzuka-san." Sakura said, trying to pull Itachi away. Itachi didn't move. "Ita-kun? We have to move."

"No we don't. There's enough room for you, Blossom." Itachi said.

"I said, she can't play here." Kiba said, angerly.

"Watch your mouth Inuzuka." Itachi said, looking at him, turning his Sharingan on. Kiba looked down.

"Lets go." Kiba said, him and Shino left.

Sakura looked down. She slowly made her way to the swing. "Not to high Ita-kun." she said.

"I won't."

"Promise?"

"Promise." he said, giving her a small push. Soon she forgot completely about how she didn't want to be so high.

"Tsunade-sama, Naruto and Kakashi are here to see you about their mission." Shizune said, opening the door to the office.

"Send them in." Tsunade said. Shizune walked out and came back in, with Kakashi and Naruto behind her. Their mission was to find and retrieve Uchiha Sasuke, and bring him back to Kohona. Naruto dropped the unconscious boy.

"Thank you, you can leave." Tsunade said.

"What about Sakura-chan! Is she back from her mission you said she should be back by now." Naruto said.

"No she isn't back yet." Tsunade said.

"Alright, but the minute she get's back I want to see her." Naruto smiled, leaving with Kakashi.

"Uchiha, stop acting like your dead." Tsunade said.

"So you could tell, hn?" Sasuke said, standing up.

"Of course."

"Whatever." he said. "So Sakura got to go on a mission by her self. What was it catch a cat." he said.

"No. It was to assassinate someone." she said.

"Really who?" he asked.

"Uchiha Itachi." That sparked his interest.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"I hope she comes back in one peace."

"Why is that?"

"I was planing on having her help me restore the Uchiha clan."

"Well, I'm sorry to tell you Uchiha. But we haven't been able to find Sakura's body. We think she's dead. We haven't told Naruto or Kakashi yet it would—"

"Send me to kill him." Sasuke said. His sharingan was turned on glaring at a wall.

"Very well." Tsunade said. "You can leave tomorrow."

"I will." Sasuke said, leaving.

"Well, that takes care of killing him my self." Tsunade thought out loud.

Sakura smiled to her self. She couldn't wait to see Ita-kun. Her Ita-kun. They had been friends for almost a year. And she loved him. More then any other person in the world. She walked into the woods to where they had first met. Itachi told her to meet him there at dusk.

She smiled, and sat down in the grass. It was so nice out. It was warm but a slight chill in the air. Winter was going to be coming soon. And she couldn't wait. She wanted to make snow angles with Itachi. He always helped her make the perfect angles. Because her hand print wouldn't be in it.

She giggled, remembering there first snow fight. His sharingan was supposed to be able to see. But through all the white. He didn't see the snow ball in front of his face that hit him. She giggled thinking about it. "Glad to see you smiling." she turned around to see Itachi walking to her. She smiled.

"Hi Ita-kun!' she said, getting up and hugging him. She felt some type of liquid on her arm. She looked down and saw blood. "Ita-kun are you hurt?" she asked.

"It's nothing to worry about, Blossom." he said.

"Okay." Sakura smiled.

"Sakura... will you come with me?"

"Where are we going?"

"Leave Kohona."

"Ita-kun! We can't do that! You would be a missing nin. We can't do that!"

"Sakura... everyone is going to tell you that I did something bad. But I didn't do it. And I don't want you to hate me."

"I could never hate you Ita-kun. I love you more then anything!"

"How much do you love me. As an older brother. A friend—."

"I want to be with you for the rest of my life, Ita-kun. I want to marry you! And love you forever!" Sakura said, hugging him. "Please... please don't leave me. I love you."

"I love you too, Blossom. But I need to leave. I will see you again."

"Promise?" Sakura said, remembering the day that she got to play on the swing.

"I promise." he said.

"Are you really going?"

Itachi's eyes narrowed. He looked over to his right then his left. 'There are at least 5 ANBU on each side.' he thought to him self. "I have to leave now." he said.

Sakura's eyes widened. Tears rolling down her face. Her eyes stung. "I love you, Uchiha Itachi." she said, giving him her first kiss. She felt weird kissing the older boy. Her stomach bubbled with butterfly's. He pulled away slowly.

"I love you too, Uchiha Sakura." he said. He handed her something small and in a flash was gone, a couple leaves fell where he used to be. She hugged her self and looked down into her hand to see what eldest Uchiha had given her. She gasped seeing a necklace. A symbol of the Uchiha was on it. And next to it around the chain was a white gold ring, with a sapphire in the middle. She gasped. She hugged it tighter.

Sasuke was angry. He was worse then angry. He wanted to kill his older brother. He had taken what was his. And he would not let him get away with it again. He would kill him in the worst way he could think of.

Itachi looked up, and saw the now awake Sakura. "What happened?" she asked.

"I don't know. Why don't you tell me?" Itachi asked.

Sakura put her hand to her forehead. "I... I saw faces so many faces. They where my face. They where so different. I don't remember it... what's wrong with me Ita-kun." Sakura said.

"I don't know."

Sakura walked out of her room and down stairs. It had been two days since Itachi had left. Her mother had just called her. "Yes mother?" Sakura asked, walking down the stairs. She gasped seeing at least five or more ANBU in her kitchen talking to her mom. "What's going on?" she asked. "Mom?"

"Sakura hun. Your friend Itachi. He's in trouble with the ANBU. Have you seen him?" Sakura's mother asked.

"Yes. He said that he had to leave. And asked for me not hate him... what happened?"

"He killed his whole family... except for you class mate Sasuke." An ANBU said.

"Wait! Itachi told me that he didn't do it! You have to believe me! Ita-kun would never do something like that!" Sakura yelled.

"Ma'am we're going to have to bring your daughter in. She can't remember what has happened." A ANBU said.

And that was the day that Uchiha Itachi left Sakura's life. And it was supposed to be forever.
