A/N - Hey thanks again for all the reviews!


Chapter Seven: Kakashi's Anoucement, Sakura's Pledge

After Team Seven had finished their ramen, Kakashi led them to a door on the far wall. The door led to a staircase, they walked up it and they came to the first door, and Kakashi stopped, and gestured to it and said, "This is the level for Genins, it has a bathroom, and beds, goodnight."

Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke nodded, then entered the room, it was fairly run down, they suspected that as you went higher, the rooms got better looking. The room, like Kakashi had mentioned earlier, had carvings on the wall, and these ones were much different then the ones down stairs, Sakura went up to a large heart that had been carved into the wall, the next moment she fell to the ground, crying out, "I can't belive it!"

Naruto walked over and read the wall carving that Sakura had, then burst out laughing.

The carving said...

ROCK LEE

LOVES

SAKURA HARUNO!

-Rock Lee December ninth

Then, Naruto took out his Kanai knife and carved an arrow from a blank space on the wall, to the heart Rock Lee had carved, then in the blank space, Naruto carved the words,

Then you better get in line buddy!

-Naruto Uzamaki

Sakura stood up with a hand from Naruto, and laughed when she read his message. There was also a balcony that they hadn't notice from the outside, there was also a door to the left Sakura went up to the door and opened it to a moderatly sized bathroom, that included a toliet and a bathtub.

"Wow, cool!" Sakura commented.

Then they all, even Sasuke, walked around their room and read all the different things carved onto the wall.

There were a few that were the good ole...'So and so was here', there was even a few carvings done by Kakashi, and Iruka, and a girl named Rin had done a heart like Rock Lee but it was a little bigger, written inside was,

RIN

LOVES

KAKASHI!

-Rin

"Huh, she didn't give her last name," Sakura noticed, after she had stopped laughing at the fact that Kakashi had a littlefangirl,"I wonder if Kakashi Senseiknows about this carving?"

"Of course he does," Naruto answered, still shaking with laughter.

"I don't think so," Sakura said.

"Why would think Sensei hasn't seen it, he's probably come to this place a thousand times before!" Naruto predicted.

"Sure, but haven't you noticed the date on that Rin's message?" Sasuke spoke up.

Naruto looked at the heart again, and saw the date of the message,

August 5, 1986

"August 5, 1986, big deal," Naruto said, shrugging.

"Kakashi sensei became a chhuunin that year, which means if he came here he would of been in the chhuunin room,so it's possible that he never saw it," Sasuke explained.

"Ohhh," Naruto said, then asked, "Why are we talking about this?"

"I have no idea," Sakura said, shrugging; Sasuke shrugged also.

"Well, whatever," Naruto said, shrugging, too.

Little did the three genins know that up in the Jounin room, there was a speaker, that was connected to the two levels below, so the one man within the room heard evey word that the genins had said.

Kakashi smirked, as he sat at adesk in the Jounin room, so they found that heart that Rin put up there, huh?

Kakashi continued to smile until he heard Naruto declare he was going downstairs for more ramen, the door close, thenSasuke's voice talking to Sakura.

"Hey, Sakura, come back inside, it's too cold out there," Sasuke's voice said.

"But it's so peaceful out here," Sakura said, "Why don't you come join me."

Kakashi's smiled faded as he listened to Sasuke finally becoming a little friendly with Sakura, those two have to know the truth.

Kakashi reached into his pocket and pulled out the letter from earlier, he unfolded the letter, and took the picture in his hands, then he stood and made his way to the door of the Jounin room, and went down the stairs to the door of the Genin room, and he knocked lightly, and asked, "May I come in?"

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Sakura, and Sasuke looked towards the door in confusion, as they realized it was Kakashi's voice that came through the door.

"Sure, Sensei," Sakura answered, and Kakashi slowly opened the door and entered, looking around, distractedly.

"Naruto's downstairs getting more ramen." Sakura informed her sensei, thinking that was he's reason for looking around.

"I know," Kakashi admitted.

"Huh? How?" Sakura asked.

Kakashi thought quickly for a answer, then answered, "It's Naruto we're talking about."

"What about me?" Naruto said from the doorway, a little ramen liquid dipping from his mouth.

"Nothing, but, now that your all here," Kakashi said.

Naruto walked into the room, as Kakashi sat down on one of the beds, and looked at the three that had walked over to stand directly before him, he sighed, then held up the picture, picture side to him, "I want you to tell me who this man is, okay?"

The three genins looked at each other in confusion, then nodded, and Kakashi flipped the picture to face them, Naruto was silent, but Sakura and Sasuke were not.

"A MURDERER!" Sakura shouted loudly, while at the same time Sasuke shouted a completely different statement, "MY BROTHER!"

Silence filled the room while the two Geninwished hard that they had not heardwhat the other had said, then they both looked at Kakashi who looked the sadest that they had ever seen him, and he spoke, in a low, sad voice, "This man is the one who brutally murderer Sakura's family, and his name is Itachi Uchiha."

"Itachi Uchiha?" Sakura said in a hushed tone.

"Brutally murderer," Sasuke said in the same voice, "Sakura's family?"

"Yes," Kakashi said sadly.

Then next events pasted by within only a few minutes, but seemed like an eternity.

Sasuke looked to Sakura, with a whole new understanding in his eyes.

Sakura's eyes, though,held a whole new vision of Sasuke, they turned ice cold, and were empty of all feelings, it was like all the love she felt for Sasuke had been erased completely from her mind. Her eyes then, suddenly, filled with untamed rage, her hand moved swiftly, and the next second her hand lunged out, Kanai knife tight in it's grip, and is was directed straight at Sasuke.

Sasuke dodged, a second late, the kanai knife cut his shoulder, and blood leaked out, he looked at Sakura in shock, "What the-Sakura!"

Sakura wasn't listening, she lunged at Sasuke once more, the kanai knife clutched between her two hands, Sasuke dodged once more. Sakura chased him down, Sasuke had his back to the wall. Sakura approached with the kanai knife.

"Sakura!" Naruto shouted, "Stop it!"

Sakura continued towards Sasuke, drawing another kanai knife from her poch.

"Sensei, stop her!" Naruto yelled at Kakashi angerily; Kakashi stayed silent.

"Sakura, stop-" Sasuke started, but his words were cut off by the arrival of two kanai knives criss-crossed at his throat, Sasuke looked at Sakura with a mixture of shock and confusion on his face.

"Sakura, stop!" Naruto shouted frantically, but Sakura only pressed the Kanai knives into Sasuke skin; he cringed in pain.

"Sakura why are you doing this?" Naruto shouted at her, "You love Sasuke, why are you doing this!"

"He killed my family!" Sakura said in a voice that didn't sound at all like her usual voice, her eyes locked on Sasuke,"He killed my family and I swore that I would kill his, along with him!"

Sasuke stared at Sakura's blazing eyes, he knew exactly what she was feeling, he had felt the same way ever since Itachi had murdered his clam, as well as his own family.

Suddenly, Sasuke's eyes lost their shock, lost their confusion, as they gripped understndment of Sakura's feelings, then in a low voice he said two words to Sakura, "Do it."

Sakura's face, for half a second, softened, and took on a look of shock, then went to a look of soft anger, "What?"

"Do it," Sasuke repeated, his eyes empty like Sakura's,"Kill me."

Sakura blinked, then tighten her grip on the kanai knives, and was about to pull them like a pair of sissors, when Kakashi voice spoke in a calm, but low,voice, "If you kill him, this mission is over, and we return to Kanoha."

"We don't need him for this mission," Sakura spat, "All we need is me, so the village will allow us enterance, he's NOTHING!"

Sasuke winced at the harsh tone of Sakura's voice.

"That may be true," Kakashi agreed, nodding a little, then added, "but this mission was assigned to team seven, and team seven consists of Naruto, Sasuke, you, and myself. Only a death in battle with the enemy will allow the mission to continue."

Sasuke looked at Sakura, his eyes still empty, he could see her mind battling on what to do, then, making Sasuke's eyes fill with the look of surprise and slight sadness, Sakura's eyes, though they were still full of anger, tears welled at the edges. Sakura's look soften a fraction, and she lowered the pair of kanai knives from Sasuke's neck, and whispered in a small voice to him, "The minute this mission is over, I swear I will kill you!"

Sasuke, without really realizing it, nodded that he understood, and she turned around and walked past Naruto, and Kakashi, grabbed her backpack, and entered the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

As Sakura turned the lock of the bathroom door, a single tear slipped down her face, I will kill Sasuke Uchiha.
