The other chapters were small. This one, as I planned will be longer. And every other chapter in this story, hopefully. Otherwise enjoy!

Oh! And Itachi might be a little OOC. Sorry to all the Itachi fans –like myself-

Sleeping Cherry

Chapter Five

Flashback

"Oniichan… Why can't you teach me the chidori?" the little boy asked his older brother, "I'm ready to learn it. This time I really am!" the small boy tugged on his brothers pants. His older brother looked at him.

"Sasuke. I'm not your instructor. I don't teach you new things." Itachi said, Sasuke released his hands from his brother pants and started to walk back to the Uchiha castle, until…

"Sasuke." Sasuke turned around. He saw his older brother wave him to come back. He came running back. Until Itachi poked Sasuke right in the forehead.

"Why do you always do that oniichan?" Sasuke asked Itachi. Itachi just started to chuckle.

End of Flashback

He walked through every corridor, trying to find his brother. He walked and walked. But still no brother. Itachi! You asshole. He thought as he made it down to breakfast.

As he was walking down the stairs to the dinning hall he found his brother sitting down on a chair flirting with the girl right next to him.

"Sasuke. What took you so long?" his mother asked him. Sasuke just glared at Itachi.

"I couldn't find something." Sasuke said and took the seat next to Itachi, leaving his mother shocked and wondering what was it that he couldn't find.

"…So how do you like the castle? My dear." Itachi was saying before Sasuke interrupted him, almost strangling him.

"Where did you put it." Sasuke said. He wanted to get right to the point. Itachi just looked at him and smirked. Itachi turned to the lady with the pink hair.

"Excuse me. My dear brother is having problems." He said as he dragged Sasuke out of the dining hall. Itachi dragged Sasuke out into a hall.

"What do you want little brother." Itachi said. He was always cool and calm. But very dangerous. Sasuke knew that.

"Where. Did. You. Put. It." Sasuke said, ready to fight Itachi if it meant getting it back. Itachi smirked again. He started to walked back to the dining hall when Sasuke pulled him right back.

"I don't know what your talking about little brother." Itachi paused, "But if you mean your underwear it's hanging around." Itachi said with one of his famous grins that he only put on for Sasuke. And walked away, back to the dining hall.

Sasuke's eyebrow twitched. Damn you Itachi. After having his precious underwear taken, Itachi starts to joke around with him. He walked back to the dining hall to find Itachi talking to the pink haired girl again.

"Itachi." Sasuke said to Itachi. The pink hair girl just looked at him. Itachi turned around, "Who is this fine lady?" Itachi's eyes bored into Sasuke's. The girl just sat there blushing. Not another fan girl… Sasuke inwardly groaned.

"This is my friend." Itachi said. He turned around to look at her, "Her name is Aiko." Itachi said and took her hand. Her onyx eyes were so black you couldn't see her pupils.

"Aiko means "Love child". Right?" Sasuke said, "Were you the first kid Aiko?" he said as Itachi glared daggers at him. Aiko just blushed, and nodded.

"I-I w-was the f-first b-born." She said. She shuttered a lot. Sasuke could tell. Itachi butted into the conversation that was starting to bloom.

"Well Aiko. I can show you around the garden." Itachi said as he gently grabbed Aiko's hand and wanted started to walking away but she didn't budge.

"I-it w-was r-really n-nice to m-meet y-you…" she paused. She probably doesn't know my name. Sasuke thought. He smirked.

"It's Sasuke." He said, as Itachi finally managed to drag the blushing Aniko out of his view.

Sasuke thought he would have a nice breakfast today. Just something plain. His mother and father dismissed all the maids and servants from the dining room. Sasuke just picked at his breakfast.

"Sasuke," his father started, "It's time you… grew up." He said. Sasuke just turned around to look at him. His father always infuriated him. All his father talked about was Itachi. "If you want to be like Itachi, you have to try harder." It annoyed Sasuke for the first few times. But after awhile Sasuke just learned how to handle the fact the Itachi was a "Daddy's Boy." And Sasuke was a… "Mommy's Boy." Yes… that's right. The second Uchiha male was a mother's boy. How it annoyed Sasuke when his classmates in the ninja school teased him about it. But as you know, Uchiha's are prodigies, all of them. Itachi, Sasuke's elder brother had passed the ninja school in 1 year; he got the sharingan when he was 8, and passed chuunin level when he was only 10. He's 23 now and he mostly takes S-rank missions.

"Your mother and I thought," he paused, "That if you were to ever take over the crown… You need a queen." He said. Sasuke just kept looking at him. Hn, so he thinks I need to start looking for a woman.

"Father I'm 18." Sasuke said, "Itachi is most likely the one who is taking the crown before me." His father looked at him. A guard ran through the door.

"My Lord!" he said, "A lady is here. At the castle doors!" he gulped on last bit of air before he ran out of the door.

"A girl?" Fugaku said, "I've never had my guards tell me there was a girl in the front gate, unless it was someone our family knew." Sasuke got off his chair and started to walk towards the hall that would lead to the front gate.

"Where are you going Sasuke-chan?" Mikito said in a soft voice. She started to get up to follow her second son. But Fugaku pulled her arm for her to sit back down. Her mother made protests, and grunts for him to walk back. But he just kept on walking. He didn't even bother to look back, or even say something to his mother.

('.')('.')('.')

She saw a man walk out of the front gates. His black hair that was spiked in the back flew with the wind, as well as his bangs. Even with her bangs covering bit of her eyes, she could still see him. He was wearing a black shirt, and tan shorts that went up to his knees. When his back was to her, she saw a fan on the back of his shirt, half of the fan was red, and the bottom half was white. He sure is a very elegant man. Before she could keep eyeing this man. A blue-eyed blond interrupted her thoughts.

"Hi!" he yelled into her face, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto!" he said, his eyes were blue like the sky. His hair was very spiky. He had a headband on his forehead, "What's your n—" before he could finish the black haired man whacked his head.

"Dobe." He said. Not so elegant. Sakura thought. The blue-eyed blond, who called himself 'Naruto' was having a fight with the black haired man.

"Dobe."

"Teme."

"Dobe."

"Teme." The black haired man paused, "I got you Sasuke-teme!" Naruto yelled. He started to jump around in glee.

"Dobe." Sasuke said finally. He was leaning on the gate, arms crossed. His black eyes were open and looking back at Sakura. She blushed when she realized she was staring at him. He looked at her gazing at he body under the cape. Her face was turned away, she was blushing. Her skin was so peachy. The hood of her cape was down so he could see her hair; her pink hair was so long and beautiful. And her eyes that were turned away from him were green like emeralds.

"What's you name?" Naruto asked, "Some beautiful like you must have a name." Naruto must have been drooling over her. Sasuke thought of Hinata. The poor girl when she finds out Naruto likes someone else.

"My name…?" she said, her voice was so soft, so innocent, "My name is Haruno Sakura." She said. Sasuke's eyes widened in shock. I thought my great-great grandfather killed all the Haruno's.

Nice cliffhanger. Huh? I worked so hard on this chapter. It took me about a hour to write. But still what did you think about this chapter? Like? Dislike? Favorite?
