CH4

I'm REALLY sorry about the long wait!!!!!

I know it's not really an excuse, but I guess I shouldn't have started the story so close to the end of school. See, out of school I don't have easy access to computers meaning that at home we don't have one. I'm probably one of the 1 of people in the US that doesn't. I also have a lot of credits again and haven't had a lot of time to do anything fun, let alone write…but I'm over the hump now!!!

Anyway, I apologize very much and thank the people who have stuck with me.

Garra-sasusaku7 – yay! That's what I wanted you to feel!

Gymgurl520 – I will, and sorry

Circles in the stream – thanks, I'll try to keep a better schedule now!!

Nikki – thanks for the tip, I'll try to make it a bit longer, but its hard for me cause I like writing scenes

Cherryblossomemerald – thanks!!! I will keep writing, it may take a while, but I will definitely finish this story!!!

Blossom-geisha – thanks!!!

Silver-eyed – regular procedure for taking prisoners from their cells, I like Sakura so she is smart and stuff, but she lacks self-confidence and so if she thinks she is weak, she is weak (in my story anyway) I think its in next chapter that she finally grows a bit. Now both sides have transitioned so next chapter is fighting, lolNaruto gets what he deserves next chapter

ElementUchihaMaster – yeah, I know, I'll keep schedule up a bit more in exchange and try to not write scenes. Thanks for the compliment!!!

Mei101 – oh, thanks so much) I'm so sorry this got put to the back of my priorities. You know, that's the same thing I said about Loophole and Geisha (or whatever its called) and now here I am writing one…

Kitten-nin – yeah, I know… I'll work on it

KakurineIl – Thanks!!!

Itasaku123 – I'm really sorry, but I'm glad you liked it so much!!! This is my first fanfic ever so its nice someone likes it that much

SauceMushroom – nice name, and thanks!!

XhowtosavealifeX – thanks very much

Kiki Sabakuno – I haven't stopped, really, just got pushed to the back with all the other stuff going on in my life then, plus I didn't have a computer, thanks!!

Renkei-gaaralover – thanks!! I'm sorry its short

Kakashi'sGirl101 – I'm sorry…I hope you didn't cry

Random person – thanks for giving me his name, I was kinda too lazy to get it. Yay! I made someone laugh, always a good thing

#sorry there was so many reviews, but I like to answer any questions and thank every reviewer#

Property of me, characters and world of someone else MK

Now on with the story!!!!

The Danger of Being a Cherry Blossom CH 4

"Crap!!!" the yell echoed across the Atatsuki stronghold waking nearby prisoners and making one man smirk in a very self satisfied manner. She was ready.

Flashback

As she stepped out of the shower what she saw on the sink made her heart jump into her throat. There, jumbled into a heap were new clothes where her old ones had been: a tight pair of black pants, a tight black shirt, black sandals, and hanging off the side, a black cloak with red clouds.

She looked at the cloak, then at the rest of the clothes, then to the room. In a firm voice she said the only word that made sense at this moment.

"Crap!"

End Flashback

Regretting and hating herself every second, Sakura slowly pulled on the pants and shirt that were left on the sink. However, she refused to even touch the Atatsuki robe. There was no way she would betray her beloved village and wearing the-trademark-outfit-of-evil-S-class-missing-nins-out-to-get-Naruto seemed like a bad idea.

As she left the bathroom, to her surprise, she saw that the door which had previously thrown her against the wall was now wide open. She ran full tilt at the door, but just as she reached the threshold, a hand shot out blocking her way.

The fingers of the hand were long, the skin pale and milky white. The arm was unblemished, unmarked by any scar or imperfection. There was hair; thick, straight, raven black, and so soft that she longed to thread her fingers through the long strands. The face was pale and expressionless. The nose just the right size and on either side, perfectly symmetrical eyes; crimson with sable specks that looked exactly like "Sasuke's…."

"If you ever say my brother's name again, I will kill you."

Frightened out of her reverie she stepped back. What he said with a low and soft voice finally hit her. Brother… he must be, she looked up at him again and sure enough, the face that stared back at her was Sasuke's but different. As she looked deeper at him, the subtle differences came out. There were lines under the eyes and the hair was slightly darker.

"Itachi…." She whispered as she backed away and fell back onto the bed.

"And they said you were smart" Itachi said in a slightly annoyed tone.

"They?"

A new figure entered through the doorway "Spies, girlie, spies. We have them everywhere. Now put that cape on" pointing his blue scale covered hand to the abandoned Atatsuki cape still hanging in the bathroom.

"Never" she spat.

"If you go outside this cell without that on you'll be dead in what?" he said looking at his partner.

Itachi looked her up and down, appraising her. "Three seconds" he said confidently.

The fish man snickered. "Now listen, girlie, you can do this the easy way or the fun way. So which is it?" the fishlike man said, smirking.

"I'll never put that on!" Sakura yelled. "I'll never betray my village!"

"The fun way it is then" the tall blue man said, cracking his knuckles as he approached her.

Again, I'm really sorry about the long wait and the shortness. I've got school again so I have a lot of work to do, 20 credits again, but I will try to get chapters done faster. I'll try for at least one a month. I don't have the rest of the story done yet but I have a general idea for about 5 more chapters. I think the story will be less than 10 more chapters about.

The next chapter will definitely be longer, I promise

I'll get to work on it hopefully tomarrow and have it up next week, definitely by next weekend

Anyway thanks for your support!!!

Tell me what is good and what is bad and if you like it and want more!!!!

More reviews make me feel guilty so I usually write better and more and quicker
