Recap
Everyone looked at Gaara, he was, how should i put this, Pissed Off! He loves Sakura so much, and she could be dead, and it was all that damn Uchiha's fault, it was always his fault. Sasuke was scared, no he was terrified, the last time he had been so scared was when his clan was killed, it's always being brought back to that, if it never happened, would things have gone the way he wanted? He doesn't know what to do anymore, practically everyone hates him, and now, he'll more than likely never be able to revive the clan his brother killed when he was about seven. Everyone watched Gaara's eyes, they were filled with hatred, hatred for Sasuke, whom probably killed the only girl he ever had feelings for and ever will. After Gaara had said that, everything was quiet, the didn't feel like they should say anymore, Sasuke probably already got the idea that they would kill them if they wanted to, and they would NOT hesitate. Gaara and Temari left to go stay at a hotel, they thought they might as well stay there just in case some news came up about Sakura, they would want to know. Shikamaru and Ino left awhile after Gaara and Temari left, they thought they should talk to him tommorrow, because, hell, they were scared, and Gaara wasn't even talking to them. Sasuke went back to his apartment, which was guarded by ANBU Black opps, for as long as Tsunade chose to. Sasuke layed on his bed, and fell into a driftless sleep.
End Recap
Naruto awoke with Hinata under his arms, she was still asleep. He smiled, he was going to be the father of someone as beautiful as Hinata. Naruto then got up, he wanted to make her some breakfast, to make her happy. Sakura told him some things about pregnant women before, and she mentioned that pregnant women were moody, and they ate more than normally, so he wanted to make sure he could make her feel comfortable during her pregnancy, and he knew that she would get angrier at him more oftenly, so he might as well try to keep her happy to prevent her from getting angry at him. Naruto made her some eggs and pancakes, he had gotten over his ramen obsession awhile ago, Sakura and Hinata gave him a ramen intervention, because they said it was unhealthy to eat that much ramen, and Sakura just told him if he ate it again, she'd beat him so far into the ground, that the earth's core would burn him to hell. Naruto smiled at all the memories that he and Sakura had together, he did love her, but it was more on a brotherly way than romantic, he just wanted her to be safe, and he would protect her with his life. What brother wouldn't want to protect his sister from harm? It was natural, that a brother would always try to protect his sister, no matter how old they were, Naruto was younger than Sakura, but he still tried his best to protect her, and he would continue to untill someone else told him he wouldn't have to anymore, that they would protect her.
After Naruto finnished making breakfast, Hinata woke up and she entered the kitchen to see her husband(yea, they're married, i guess i forgot to mention that XP) all messy, and her kitchen somewhat messy, but Naruto was cleaning it up. Hinata smiled at Naruto's genorosity. "Hey, Hinata-chan! How did you sleep?" Hinata smiled and replied. "Great, Naruto-kun, thank you for making breakfast, that was really nice." Hinata gave him a peck on his cheek, he blushed. "No problem, Hinata-chan! You deserve it, you're the best person ever, you're sweeter than sugar." Hinata giggled at Naruto's comment, it was so corny,but she didn't care, he probably didn't even know it was really corny to say, so she kept quiet. As Hinata ate, Naruto kept looking at her like an idiot. Hinata knew that he always wanted to be a father, and she wanted him to be happy, so she would do whatever he said, to try and help the baby. "Hinata-chan, once you're done eating, you need to go back to bed, i heard from Sakura-chan, that pregnant women slept more than usual, and i want you and the baby to be fine, okay?" Naruto said, with his signature grin, Hinata smiled. "Okay, if you go with me, Naruto-kun, okay?" Hinata said, in a sly way, Naruto caught on, and he grinned like an idiot, Hinata had become so confident over the years, Sakura would be proud.
As Hinata and Naruto finnished, Naruto put the dishes in the sink, and he started to wash them for Hinata, so that she wouldn't strain herself, because that wouldn't be good for her, or the baby. "Hinata-chan, you go ahead, i'll be done in a little bit, okay?" She frowned, and she sighed and nodded. "Okay, Naruto-kun, but if you're not in here in ten minutes, i'll hurt you, like Cherry-chan." Hinata said, she sometimes called Sakura Cherry-chan, because she thought it sounded cute, and Sakura thought it was a nice nickname, so she let Hinata call her that, but she didn't let anyone else call her that, well, everyone but her, Shikamaru, and Naruto. She wondered how Sakura and Shikamaru are such good friends, they're really different from eachother, he's carefree, and she's very responsible. When Hinata had asked Sakura about her and Shikamaru's relationship, she just told her, he was like a brother to her, the brother she never had, the brother she always wanted but could never have, because her parents just had her, only her, or that's what she thought. Somehow, Sakura heard that she had an elder sister, but wasn't sure the resources were reliable, if they were, then she would be searching for her, to ask her questions about her family.
After about ten minutes, Hinata decided that she should check on Naruto, he probably had an even worse mess in the kitchen that she'll have to clean up. When she exited the bedroom, and when she entered the kitchen, it was pretty descent, and she saw that Naruto was still doing some dishes that had pancakes on them, the syrup had stuck to the plate and he was getting annoyed by it, so he just threw it in the trash. Hinata sighed, and she snuck up on Naruto. Naruto, being Naruto, was so tired didn't even notice Hinata behind him, he turned around, and he bumped into Hinata, landing on top of her. Hinata blushed and giggled. "Naruto-kun, can you get off, i can barely breathe." Hinata asked, politely. Naurto's face turned red in embarressment, and he got off of her. "Hehe, sorry Hinata-chan, i should have been watching where i was going." He said, she smiled and gave him a peck on the lips, and she dragged him to the bedroom...

As Shikamaru woke up, he immediately knew that he should confront Sasuke, today, but then again, maybe he should do something that would kill his ego so bad. Shikamaru grinned evily as he came up with a plan, that would consist of the girls, and Gaara. Shikamaru ordered them to the training grounds, except Hinata, she was a little busy, but he told everyone who showed up his devious plan, everyone but Gaara nodded, he didn't care about the plan, he just wanted to beat Sasuke to hell, and he didn't need a plan to do that, all that he neede was his hands, and some chakra, and boom, Sasuke, the second to last Uchiha alive, would be dead. "Gaara, will you nod, so we'll know you get it?" His older sister, Temari asked, he glared at her. "I don't care about the damn plan, i just to beat the hell out of that mother fucking bastard, it'll be easier, and i'll torture him for ever if i feel like it, so no damn plan is gonna change that, he'll lose his ego fighting me, and he'll feel weak, as he has made Sakura felt, and i will make him weak, i will i promise you." Shikamaru sighed, he knew he wouldn't be able to get through to him, he was too damn stubborn, just like Sakura was. Shikamaru wished that Sakura would be with Gaara, and then they would be brother and sister, since he and Temari were married, even though they were from different villages, Temari would come about nce a week, if she didn't have a mission, or needed to stay in the village for something.
"Gaara, if you want to cause Sasuke pain, we can help, we all want to hurt him, but we'll need you to accept our help." Ino said, trying to convince him. "Come on, everyone wants to hurt him, for hurting Sakura, and i know if Sakura knew what you did, she'd be very gratefull to you." Tenten said, getting Gaara's attention. "Fine." Shikamaru thanked Tenten in his mind, his idea was going according to plan, he smirked evily, he was so going to hurt the Uchiha for hurting his little sister, and he will beg for mercy, and he won't care, he would continue to torture him. "Wow, Gaara, i didn't know you liked Sakura, how cute." Gaara had a tiny, very tiny blush on his face. "I don't. She is my friend, not that." He said, trying to hide his blush, but it got bigger. Everyone saw how Gaara was blushing, and they knew he was lying. "Aww, Gaara! You like Saku-chan!?" Ino said, excitedly, Shikamaru slapped Ino upside the head, she glared at him. "What the hell was that for!?" She yelled. "For opening your damn mouth, you idiot." Shikamaru said, lazily, she continued to glare at him, everyone sweatdropped, Ino was always an idiot at times, not knowing when to shut the hell up, so she gets in trouble for it. Even though it was annoying to Gaara, he was glad the attention was off him, so no one would realize he was trying to get rid of his blush covering his cheeks. As soon as Ino was done being an idiot, they turned their attention to Gaara, who was still trying too cover his blush.
"Gaara, just admitt it, we already know you like her." "I don't like Sakura-chan." Everyone looked at him, and he realized what he said. ' Haha kid, i made you say it!' 'You damn racoon! I'm gonna fucking kill you!' Gaara yelled at Shukaku, and Shukaku, being a coward, disappeared. "I knew it! Gaara likes Sakura! Gaara likes Sakura!!!!" Ino chanted, before gettting glared at everyone. "I don't like Sakura as the way you think, i like her as a FRIEND, so stop being total idiots, and accept it." Everyone rolled their eyes, except Shikamaru, he couldn't be bothered to do that, he knew Gaara liked her, and that was good enough for him, as soon as she got back, he'll tell her to go live with Gaara for some time, and then she fall in love with him, and so on. Shikamaru gave him a look saying 'I know you're lying, but i don't care, so as soon as she gets back ask her out.' Gaara nodded, Shikamaru is the only one he could trust, except Naruto, Temari, and Sakura, everyone else, he didn't trust them, because they didn't do anything for him, saying he could trust them. Naruto helped him realize that he doesn't need to kill people, Shikamaru helped him realize his feelings for her one day when he came to Suna, Temari would always try to cheer him up and Sakura. Sakura showed him love, even though it wasn't the love he wanted from her, it was brotherly love, but he wanted so much more, but he couldn't. No one loved a monster. He thought for a moment, and remembered Sakura puting her hands on his cheeks, and told him he wasn't a monster, and she gave him a little peck on the lips, which made him blush big time, Sakura giggled at his shyness, it made him look cute. Gaara would always love that memory of her.
Gaara thought some more, and realized after that day, it was about three years ago, that was when Sasuke started to abuse her, three years ago! What if it was his fault? What if Sasuke knew she kissed him? Maybe that was why he did it, to punish her for kissing him, Gaara started to feel guilty, and felt like crying, but didn't, he couldn't cry infront of people he didn't even trust, minus Shikamaru and Temari. Temari noticed Gaara had a sad look on his face, she'll have to ask him about it later, but now, they had to beat the shit out of the Uchiha. "I don't want to do this, right now, i need to talk to Shikamaru, and my sister." Gaara said, everyone looked at him as if he were crazy, he was the one who has been wanting to rip Sasuke limb from limb, and now, he just wanted to talk to Shikamaru and Temari? Something is very wrong. Everyone but Shikamaru and Temari left, they looked at Gaara, and noticed he had guilt written all over his face. "Gaara, what's wrong?" Temari asked him, concerend, something was wrong with her brother, he never felt guilt, untill today. "It's all my fault, it's my fault he did that to her." Gaara said, sadly. They went wide eyed. "What do you mean, Gaara?" Shikamaru asked, "Three years ago, that is when he started to hurt her, three years ago, Sakura kissed me." They put two and two together and understood what Gaara was trying to say, and they actaully thought it was quite possible, but how could Sasuke know? He wasn't there, was he? "Gaara, it's not your fault, it's just some freak accident, he probably went insane or something, he couldn't know, he wasn't there, so how would he find out?" Gaara fought back the tears threatening to come down his cheeks, he knew Sasuke knew, why else would he hurt her?
"How do you know? He could have snuck passed the guards and saw us, it's all my fault he put her through hell! It's my damn fault! I'm gonna fucking kill him! he shouldn't have hurt her, he should have hurt me!!" Gaara yelled angrily, and ran passed them, heading to Sasuke's house, Shikamaru tried to stop him, using his shadow possesion jutsu, but he was too fast, so Temari let him ride with her on her fan.Gaara approached his house, and banged on the door, Sasuke answered it, only to find himself pinned against the wall in a second after. "What the hell are you doing, Gaara?!" He yelled, Gaara looked at him in anger. "You're a damn coward, you bastard, i figured it out, because she kissd me, didn't give you the right to fucking abuse her for three damn years you sick ass bastard!" Gaara yelled at him, and he puched him, with power, which made Sasuke's jaw break. "I'll fucking kill you, you sick son of a bitch, you knew she wouldn't fight back, so you took advantage of her!" He yelled again, kicking him in the side, Sasuke was on the floor, bleeding badly when Temari and Shikamaru came, the stopped Gaara from causing anymore damage to him, even though that they wanted him to be beaten to death, Temari picked Sasuke up, and ran him to the hospital where Tsunade was, she looked at him, and sent him straight to the emergency room. "What happend to him?" Tsunade asked them. "That bastard got what was coming to him, he fucking beat her because he knew she wouldn't fight back, unlike myself, that bastard should have known that he was gonna get hurt soooner or later, he fucking deserved every damn thing he got." Gaara said, viciously. Tsunade knew immeadiately Gaara caused this, she sighed, she couldn't do anything, because he was right, Sasuke deserved everything he was put through.
"Gaara, why did you do that?" Gaara glared at Tsunade. "He deserved it, she kissed me, and that's why he started to beat her, he was too much of a damn coward to confront me, so he used Sakura to satisfy his anger, by beating her." Tsunade looked at Gaara, he looked so sure of himself, like he knew that what he said, was a fact. "Gaara, i can't do anything to you, but your village might get angry about what you did, so i'm just warning you, i won't tell them, but if they find out, good luck to you." Gaara shrugged it off, he won't get in trouble, he'll just say that Uchiha was a threat, so he beat him up, and he's in the clear."Gaara." Gaara turned around to see his sister, and she looked disappointed. "Yes, Temari? What is it?" She slapped him across the face. "Gaara, you lied to us, you said, you would follow Shikamaru's plan, you said you wouldn't go after him yet." Gaara looked at his sister, and he put his hand on his now, red cheek. "Temari, i'm sorry, i was driven by impulse, and anger, that Uchiha did so many things to her, and she might be dead, i couldn't let that go, i wanted him to pay for everything he has done to her, and pain was the only way he'll understand how Sakura felt when he inflicted it onto her." Gaara apologized, Temari looked surprised, he never apologizes, but she didn't care. "Gaara, i'm sorry i slapped you, i was angry, and i didn't know what i was doing at the time, so no hard feelings?" Gaara nodded.
xXx
Sakura was watching out for Konan, she knew Konan had something up her sleeve, and she would get her at a time she least expected. Little did Sakura know, Konan was very good at being secretive, she could do things without people even knowing, that was her specialty, she loved to sneak up on people, so she worked on it, and became very good at it. Konan got Deidara and Kisame, because she thought those two could get them to the same place, and they'll stay there, and then her plan will work, she smirked evily. "Konan, why are we doing this, it's very annoying and pointless." Kisame said, annoyed, who could notice? --" "We're here to make sure that Saku-chan and Itachi hook up, they kissed, but they aren't together, so i'm gonna change that, with my trusty henchmen." "You mean your boyfriend's slaves." Kisame said, Konan glared. "No, well, okay fine, my boyfriend's slaves, but that makes you my slaves too, posession is three fifths of the law, so haha!" Konan said, childishly,sticking her tongue out at them, Kisame just galred at her, he didn't like to be beaten at arguments, not at all. "You're cruel, yeah." She glared at Deidara, which scared him, he was always scared of her, she just had the glares that could freak you out into insanity. "Shut it, i see Saku-chan, remember, you get Itachi and i Get Saku-chan." They unwillingly nodded. She smiled and separated from the two.
"Saku-chan! Over here! I need to talk to you, it's important!" Konan hollared at her, Sakura thought it was part of the plan, instantly, but she played along, it could be fun in the end, and she'll get a few laughs. "Yes, Konan-chan, what's the emergency?" "Tobi is in the library, and he told me that he wanted your help, he said it was something about him not being able to read anymore, but he just said that he needed you." Sakura giggled, Tobi couldn't read, he told her that when she asked him about himself, so she knew immeadiately it was just the plan, but she continued to go along with it. "Fine, Konan-chan, but can you make sure no one finds out i'm going to help Tobi, they'll think i'm weird for helping him since he's about the most hated akatsuki ever, i don't feel like taking everyone's shit today." Sakura said, and giggled. Konan nodded and Sakura left to the library. Sakura saw Itachi and he looked annoyed and tired. She walked up to him and started to make conversation. "So... what's up?" Itachi didn't answer, Sakura sighed. "Fine, if you don't want to talk to me, then don't, you cold hearted bastard, i'm just going to go back to Konan-chan's room and talk to the walls about how mean you are." Sakura said, seriously, making Itachi laugh, he loved her childish way of talking, it amused him, she was different from most girls, she wouldn't change easily if told, she'll change when she wants to and only for someone who she thinks is worth it.
Sakura turned on her heel and started to leave, but was stopped by Itachi. "What is it, Itachi?" She asked, he looked at her, in his mind he wanted to kiss her, but somehow, he was kind of afraid to. "Stay." He said, she looked at him, and sighed. "Fine, Itachi, but only if you actually respond to me, if not, i'll leave your ass here alone and we won't be able to actaully laugh at the guy's rediculous attempt at getting us together." She said, he nodded, he was thinking in his head, he wanted to kiss her, and love her, but she wouldn't let him, she's been hurt too much, she couldn't do anything so sudden. "Itachi, are you okay?" "No." That got Sakura's attention. "What's wrong, Itachi? Are you hurt, or something?" She asked, trying not to laugh, but who couldn't, Itachi Uchiha was never hurt. "No." Sakura tilted her head in confusion, what the hell did he mean then, she wanted to slap him upside the head, so he would start making more sense to her. "Itachi, what's bothering you? Did i do something, i'm sorry if i did, i didn't know, whatever it was." Itachi laughed at her ditzy personality, she was apologizing, and she didn't even know what was bothering him. "Sakura, you are what's bothering me." He said to her, she looked at him, what did she do? "M-me? What about me, what do you mean? I don't understand." Sakura said, before Itachi put her in a kiss, that seemed to last forever, but only lasted a couple minutes. "Does that answer your question, Sakura?" Sakura blushed, she knew what he meant now. Itachi Uchiha was falling for her! "Yes. What do you want to do?" She asked, shyly, he shrugged. "I don't know, i just know i can't get you out of my mind, it's impossible, so what do you think we should do, i have feelings for you and-" Sakura cut him off. "I have feelings for you as well. I just don't want to get hurt, it's happened to me, i don't know how, but i can feel it, the betrayl of someone i loved, i just want to know you'll stay faithfull to me, and treat me right."
Itachi looked at her eyes, he knew that she would always feel somewhat the love she had for Sasuke, even after he would erase her memories of it. 'Foolish little brother, you lost an angel, because of your hatefull ways, and i gained one for my ways, don't you love me.' He thought to himself, smirking evily, he would love to see the look on his brother's face once he realizes that his flower had come to him, and now loved him, he could feel the hate and jealousy inside Sasuke, it would make any man laugh at him, for it was because of him for what the future became, and the future will be him and Sakura, no one else, they will be together without anyone. "Itachi, i think we should try to give us a shot, if it doesn't work, then it doesn't work, we'll still be civil to each other, no hard feelings will become of it, what do you think, Itachi?" Itachi nodded and replyed with a quick yes. Sakura wasn't really sure how to start things out, it seemed very weird and awkward, she didn't want to kiss him, because she thought he would think she was some skank, or something, but she wanted to do something, something to show him she cared about him, but what? "Sakura. If you want to kiss me, i'm okay with it, i won't think any less of you." Sakura looked at him in amazement, how did he know what she was thinking? Is he pyschic? (Sorry, i can't spell to save my life, as you probably already know, i suck at it, i only type good stories and make good plots, that's it. XP)
"Yes, Sakura, i am pyschic." Sakura pouted, no fair, he knew what she was thinking all the time. "Sakura, stop acting so childish," Sakura looked at him, and watched him continue his sentence. "...it turns me on." Sakura felt a very heavy blush cover her face, as he whispered that in her ear. Itachi liked to make her blush, it was fun, she would blush at practically anything, she was so innocent, something he loved about her, that other girls usually didn't have. Most girls were practically throwing themselves at any man they came in contact with, they were just whores, something Sakura isn't, nor will she ever be, she had more respect for herself to do that, but if she had to, then she would do it with pride, she would do anything if it needed to be done. Itachi knew that Sakura would make a great mother by just looking at her, she would do anything for her children, but she would try to spoil them, something he could prevent her from doing, if they became more than team-mates, a whole lot more. Sakura saw Itachi staring off into space, so she thought she would do something evil, like put some lipstick on him, then again, he would probably kill her, and she didn't feel like dying anymore, so it would really suck to die when she was actually happy for once in her life, Sakura Haruno was happy. Sakura just decided to wake him from his daze to talk more to him. Sakura shook him, and he knocked out of his daze. Sakura giggled at him, she would giggle over anything, she just liked to giggle, especially if it were a true one, not like those she used at Konoha to make sure no one would think what was going on with her.
"Itachi, you dozed off again." Sakura told him he nodded, he knew that she was making him weak, but for once, he didn't care, just fuck power for once, and live like a normal person for once. Itachi looked into Sakura's eyes and kissed her, and she kissed him back, she put her hand through his hair, as the kiss deepened, Sakura could feel Itachi's hand rising up her shirt, so she stopped. "I'm not ready to go that far, yet." He nodded and gave her a small peck on the lips, unknowingly, this whole plan was set up by Konan, she knew everything, she knew that Sakura wouldn't buy her excuse, and she knew that Sakura would try to trick her, but she didn't, she just fell in the trap she though she avoided, but didn't, Konan was cherring in her head as she saw the new couple kiss, she just walked back to her room.
