Standard Disclaimer applies... I still do not own naruto!And there is a VERY low chance that it will happen any time soon... or in this lifetime for that matter...

Last time on Unexpected Meetings...

He finally got up, and followed the mysterious man, who then put an arm on his shoulder. The young boy expected a harsh slap, but instead, he got a warm pat on the shoulder. He looked up at the man's bandaged face. What an unusual man, he thought. As the man started walking, haku followed him, without hesitation. Not knowing wether the man would kill him or not.

~2 years later...~

Left. Right. Up. Front and Back. The now, 12 year old girl jumped up, onto a tree, just in time to avoid a getting caught by a hand that was coming up from the ground. The girl stayed up in a branch of the tree, until she could see the full shape of the person, whom the hand belonged to. She jumped down. "Was I good?"

"Heh... Very good Sakura" he smiled, and put his hand on hear head. The girl beamed back up at him. "Sakura?"

"Yes Itachi-sensei?"

"Do you remember," he started walking, and then waited for the girl to catch up with him, and continued, "when we first started training, you asked me why I said that I was a fromer member of Konoha?"

"Yes"

"And how I said that I would tell you when you were old enough?

"Uh Huh!"

"I think that you are old enough now."

"Hehe! Yay!"

Itachi smiled down at her, took in a deep breath, and started telling her the true story of the Uchiha family tragedy. By the time he was done, they were almost at the edge of a thick forest. "Sakura."

"Yes, Itachi-sensei?"

"You have improved greatly these past 2 years, but I think it's time for you to move on"

Her face fell, going from a smile, to a frown "H-huh?"

"At the end of this trail, is the entrance to Konoha, I want you to go there, and find the Sandaime. Traveling like this isn't very healthy for a girl your age, and it's very dangerous, for you, because you're still so young, and you probably won't be able to protect yourself that well if an enemy attacks us. I want you to start a new, safer life"

The little girl was crestfallen, her teacher, her best friend, and guardian, was telling her to leave. She could have told him no, that she wanted to stay, but instead, she said: "Ok, I understand sensei... I guess this is goodbye..."

"Yes... Goodbye Sakura. I hope you find a better life."

"Ok sensei..." she gave her teacher one last hug, and then set off, to the edge of the forest.

He stood there, watching her for a while, but once she was out of his range of vision, he started running. Jumping from tree branch to tree branch, until he was satisfied with the distance between them. "She's better off without me." He took out his headband from his back pocket, and a kunai. With the it, he drew a line across the metal, and left. Left his life as a teacher and gruardian, and entered a new life. A life with the akatsuki.

Sakura PoV (Read this, it may not be good, but read the last half at least, or else the next chap, or the one after that might be a bit confusing)

Left. Right. Up. Front and Back. Nowhere, so he must be down! I jumped to the nearest tree branch, just in time to avoid Itachi-sensei's hand. He lifted himself up, out of the hole, and called me down, of course, I followed his orders. He told me that he was going to tell me the story of his clan! Yes! I've been waiting for this for about 2 years! Finally!

When he was done, I needed a bit of time to take in all of the information. I didn't know that his family history was so sad... That's when he told me.

"At the end of this trail, is the entrance to Konoha, I want you to go there, and find the Sandaime. Traveling like this isn't very healthy for a girl your age..."

"H-huh?" it was all I could manage to say.

He continued. "It's very dangerous, because you're still so young, and you probably won't be able to protect yourself that well if an enemy attacks us. I want you to start a new, safer life"

I wanted to scream, shout. I wanted to tell him no, I wanted to stay with him, but, I had to follow his orders, teacher knows best, right? I gave him one last hug, and set off for Konohagakure. Ninja must not show their feelings but when I reached the end of the trail, I tried to stop them, but I just couldn't. Tears started pouring down my face, two men started towards me, but I ignored them. No one could make me feel better, except for Itachi-sensei. No matter how sad I was, he would always cheer me up somehow. But now, no one could even come close so cheering me up.

So... Was it ok? R&R! Just to clear some things up...

1. Sakura is now 12

2. Itachi is like... 16...I just checked.

Hope you enjoyed this chap! Miss you Aqua-neechan! Temari-chan! thanks for making school days fly by so quickly, by RPing with me!
