Sakura noticed that the man was looking at her wide-eyed as if he couldn't believe the fact that she just called him by a familiar name. He also seemed in a daze and wasn't really paying attention to what she wanted to tell him. Going up to him, she slowly waved her hand in front of his face to break the trance.
After he snapped out of it, she decided to examine the condition of her so-called rapist. She honestly flinched at the damages; his had a busted lip, a broken leg, a broken wrist and an additional ten to fifteen fractured bones. The man wasn't dead, but he wasn't far from death; he was only unconscious from the blows he had received.
Taking a good look at the man in front of her, she noticed that it wasn't Itachi, but a look-alike. His had ravened colored hair shaped like a chicken ass (the same color, not the same shape), not to mention that he had deep onyx eyes and pale skin, which were similar to Itachi's. She also noticed that he was built, but not enough to look like Vin Desel's. (A/N: He's the actor who played in Pitch Black).
She couldn't help but admire his godly looks. I mean, he was so... mysterious. Somehow, it seemed like the perfect word to describe him and it was the closest you could find to describe him. Snapping out of her thoughts, Sakura simply looked down trying, to keep the blush from rushing to her cheeks; it clearly wasn't the time to blush.
Bringing her head up to look at him straight in the eye, she opened her mouth to speak, "Thank you very much for saving me uh…"
"Sasuke Ahihcu (A/N: Uchiha spelled backwards)," he told her, cutting her off.
She looked at him, pretty surprised that he actually answered. She had the odd feeling that he was sure he was going to see her again. Not once, but quite a few times. She looked up at him once more and spoke up, "Well then, I am grateful to you for saving me, Sasuke-san. But, exactly where did you come from?"
'OMG!! I bet you two bucks that as soon as he opens his mouth to speak, to you, you will spot VAMPIRE FANGS!!!!!' her Inner told her, popping out of no where.
'WTF!! I thought you ditched me when I killed for the first time in OUR LIFE!!!!!!!'
'Yeah, I know... And I'm really sorry for that, but I had to go through the shock you kept inside of you even if I didn't want to. I mean we were TRAUMATIZED! Besides, you can NEVER get rid of me no matter what. Oh yeah, one more thing honey. I suggest you nod your head since Sasuke is asking about our welfare. Isn't that just cute?'
'Whatever... Just leave for now. But as soon as we are alone, we are going to have A LOOOOOOONG CONVERSATION. Got it??'
Almost mockingly, her Inner responded, 'Loud and clear, darling. Ciao.'
With that, Inner Sakura faded away to the deep depths of her mind, making Outer Sakura focus on the real world.

Sasuke looked at the pink-haired beauty. He needed to know her name for the confirmation of the target. She looked slightly dazed, but managed to snap out of it and apologized about spacing out while blushing once more.
'I swear, that girl is going to get boys go mad by blushing constantly like that. I admit that she's cute, but NOTHING more. Anyway, PLEASE LET HER BE MY TARGET SO I DON'T HAVE TO GO LOOKING ANY FURTHER!!!' Sasuke thought, pleading to himself.
"Since you gave me your name, I might as well give you mine, but you have to answer my question too, got it? Good. I'm Haruno Sakura, now; tell me, why do you want to know my name...? I just met you."
'It's her alright... No doubt about that.' Sasuke was about to turn around until Sakura quickly put her hand on his shoulder making him look at her questioningly.
"Umm... Could you lead me out of here...? While trying to lose the guy over there, I kind of got lost by making so many turns. Hehehe," she told him, while scratching the back of her head in embarrassment.
"So, in other words, you got lost," Sasuke replied coldly and bluntly, looking for some type of reaction that her assassin self would make (if she was one). But none came and all she did was look down, trying to hide her embarrassment or anger and nod her head.
'Odd... All assassins usually let their pride get in the way of their answer. Hell, even I do that. However, that not the case with her. She must really hate killing for not having any assassin traits in her. It's not impossible that she's been forced into killing. Why does Orochimaru want her dead?' he thought.
He looked at her once more and noticed her irritated facial expression.
"I hope you are aware that you didn't answer my question?" Sakura told him, not erasing the irritated expression off her face.
"And what might that question be?"
"Why do you want to know my name? I mean, I've just met you..." Sakura told him.
"Look, do you want to get out of here or not?!?!" Sasuke told her as irritation reached him as well.
"Yes, but-"
"Then, in that case, just SHUT UP and follow me," he told her. He turned his back to Sakura and started walking. He heard the girl following him, mumbling something about his jack-ass attitude and him being a moron with a stick up his ass. Sighing to himself, he continued to lead both of them out of the alley.

Sakura was still walking behind Sasuke. Five minutes passed by and still no exit…
"Just admit it, Sasuke. You got lost"
"For the last time woman; SHUT UP AND LET ME LEAD!!!!!!!!!!" Sasuke yelled at her.
He knew exactly where he was going. And he also knew, for a fact, that the next turn was going to lead outside. And there it is. Sasuke and Sakura turned and WHAT A SURPRISE!!!! They were out of the alley. Sasuke had a smug look on his face, which was soon replaced by scowl. Why? There was the reason: "Well, what do you know? You didn't get us lost after all," Sakura told him.
Soon, a ring was heard. It came from Sakura's pocket. Taking it, Sakura looked at the ID, and then turned to Sasuke. "Sorry, but I got to take this call."
He simply nodded to her and waited for her to finish her conversation. Deciding to listen in, he leaned a bit toward her.
"No Anko, I'm fine."
"..."
"Yes, I know but- WHAAT!!!!! Neji's coming!! Oh crap. He's going to kill me if you tell him what happened. NO, NO, NO, DON'T TELL HIM!!! ANKO!!!!!!!! YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT HE WON'T EVER ALLOW ME TO EVER GET A SMOOTHIE ALONE."
"..."
"Fine, bye," she said as she hung up and put it in her purse. Turning to the stoic man next to her, she thanked him once more and turned to leave but was soon stopped by a...
"Sakura!!! There you are. Neji and I were looking all over for you. Oh, and Anko told us about the little incident."
"Shit, I am in a load of crap with Neji if that's the case..."
"Yup."
"HARUNO SAKURA!!!!!!! What the hell did I tell you about you leaving the mall without anyone!!!"
"N-N-Neji... You're here... hehe... um you see… I was caught off guard. HONESTLY."
"Whatever. Remember: don't ever do that to me again."
Meanwhile, Sasuke was currently text messaging someone; he was completely ignoring the trio. As he closed his cell, he turned towards the weird trio to bid Sakura goodbye, but was suddenly jumped on by (as far as he could tell) as bright yellow blob.
"OH MY GOD TEME YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!!! Don't ever scare me like that again. Tenten sent me a text message about you not answering your phone. And-" The blob's speech was quickly stopped after receiving yet another punch.
"Naruto shut the hell up. Mind your own shit. I just saved Pinky over there from being raped."
"YOU ALMOST GOT WHAT!!!! SAKURA!!!!!!" Neji had screamed.
Sakura had tried to escape the long lecture courtesy of Sasuke, which she promised herself to kill later on. During this little play, Sasuke was carefully studying her movements and noticed they were way to smooth, quick and firm.
'That just confirmed it; she is my brother's assassin.'
Quickly sending Tenten and Naruto a look, he and the two others quietly left the area to plan their approach.
