Anything But Ordinary
Chapter Eleven: Family
Sakura played nervously with her hands as her and her teammates walked out of the building. Her eyes made contact with the blue ones that she knew belonged to someone else. She would get to meet her family today. Her real family. "Sakura-chan!" Naruto whined, pulling the pinkette out of her thoughts.
"Stop yelling Naruto!" she yelled, giving him a thwack on the back of his head.
"Jezz... I was just trying to ask you to ramen!" Naruto whined once more, now rubbing his sore head. Sakura rolled her eyes knowing she hardly hit him hard enough to make him cry so loudly.
"I can't I already have plans." Sakura said, matter-of-factly.
"Plans?" she turned to look at her dark haired teammate who she hadn't even realized was still standing with them.
"Yes plans." she huffed.
"With who?" Sasuke continued his questioning.
"None of your concern." she glared at him, before leaving the two boys stunned. Sasuke stared at her back as she walked away, while Naruto decided he would try to find Iruka.

Sakura sighed in relief that neither of her two teammates decided to follow her after she left. Her eyes wondered up the street to where the dango shop was that Itachi had told her to meet him. She breathed in deeply trying to give herself the courage to walk further. Once she reached the entrance she looked around, looking down the street she saw him standing at the edge of the building once they made eye conntact he turned down the ally way. Sakura sighed and quickly followed after him.
Sakura growled slightly annoyed as she broke through the end of the ally way to be stuck in a crowded venue. "Damnit." she mumbled. She jumped slightly feeling someone tap her shoulder. She looked up to see a damn with black hair and black eyes.
"Come on, Sakura." Her eyes widened slightly. His voice made her smile.
"Coming, Hidan-san." He smiled, happy that she knew who he was. He ruffled her pink hair, before pulling her into a building. She gasped not being ready for the sudden followed the older man up the stairs that lead them to the second floor. Where Sakura assumed was the rooms that their team were staying in.
She could hear her heart beat in her ears. Her whole chest thumped. She was more than sure that Hidan would hear it as well. She jumped again feeling a warm hand touch her back. Turning around she started into the deep blue eyes that belonged to the henge that Itachi had made. He smiled at her slightly giving her the bit of courage she so desperately needed. She turned and stared at the door as Hidan unlocked it.
The click was the loudest noise Sakura had ever heard. She gulped loudly as Hidan opened the door. Itachi gave he a slightly tap before her foot moved towards the door. She closed her eyes unsure of herself. She took unsteady footsteps until she heard the door click shut and locked behind her.
"Sakura..." Sakura shook at softness of the woman's voice. Her eyes were still tightly closed, trying to calm herself. "Why don't you open your eyes?" she heard her mother ask.
"I'm scared." Sakura whispered, her throat tightened making it harder for her to speak. She tried to fight back the tears. "I'm scared that if I open my eyes this won't be real. You'll all vanish and I'll be stuck here alone..." She could hear her mother stifle a sob.
"Sakura-chan." the smooth voice of Uchiha Itachi surrounded the room. "I can assure you this is no dream. Open your eyes." And with that emerald met amber. Sakura's knees quickly gave out from under her and she fell to the floor. Konan sat in a chair across the room from her daughter. Her blue hair was down instead of the normal undo from Sakura's memories. The origami flower was gone as well and instead a head band from Ame was secured around her forehead.
Konan stared at her daughter shocked. "You are so beautiful." Konan whispered, before pushing herself to her feet. She slowly walked across the room to where her daughter sat, bending down on her knees Konan pulled Sakura to herself. "How I've missed you Sakura." Konan whispered.
