The demon world was in chaos as everyone was running around telling others that the King had awakened from his coma.

"This just in! King Sasuke has awakened from his coma!" A newspaper boy announced. Inside the castle, it was even crazier. Maids and butlers ran around trying to clean the house as the leaders of the Uchiha clan had arrived home.

"Out of the way! Fugaku said as he made a bee line to the room his son was placed in. Mikoto and Karin were right behind him as the trio entered the room. Shizune was running around checking everything. Naruto and Kakashi were there as Sasuke was staring at his hands.

"Sasuke…" Mikoto said as she went to give her son a long hug. "I'm so happy!" She cried.

"M-Mother…" Sasuke said as he rested his forehead on her shoulder. "What happened to me?"

"Nothing you need to worry about." Karin said. "You're safe and that's all that matters."

Sasuke looked at his sister for a while before nodding. "Thank you. Itachi?" He croaked.

Mikoto shook her head. "I'm afraid he's not coming down here."

"He's still up there and as long as he's up there, you will still be king." Fugaku said. Naruto frowned as he watched Sasuke glare at his lap. Anyone who got the position of king would be happy, but Sasuke hated it. That was why he wanted to bring Itachi back down here. If Itachi didn't take the throne, Madara would be next up if not Neji.

"As long as Sakura-san is up there, he won't leave." Mikoto said with a smile. At the mention of the pink-haired human, Fugaku immediately turned around.

"I'll be in the study." He said as he disappeared.

"What's father's problem?" Karin made a face.

"Don't mind your father. He just found out his own brother was trying to kill your brother. That's a lot to take in." Mikoto said as she took Karin into her arms and rubbed the back of her head gently. "For him to lay a hand on my own son and daughter…he will pay." She said as a dark aura surrounded her.

Naruto and Kakashi had sweat-dropped. Mikoto-sama could be really scary when she wanted to be.

"I want every demon to be on high alert from now on. I want demons to watch over Sasuke and Karin at all times. I shall send a message to Deidara and the others to stay up there with Itachi to watch him and Sakura as well." With that said, Mikoto left the room as Karin and Kakashi followed after her. Naruto sighed as he looked to his friend.

"How are you feeling?" Naruto asked as he looked at his best friend warily. He was happy that Sasuke was out of a coma, but for it to be so soon was weird.

"I'm fine…" Sasuke said. Naruto's eyes widened. There! There was a difference in his chakra. It seemed darker and stronger.

"So what are you going to do about being King? I know you hate this position." Naruto said as he sat on the foot of the bed.

"I guess I have to make the most of it and find a Queen." He smirked. Naruto raised an eyebrow. Sasuke was the only demon who hadn't been in an arranged marriage yet so he free for the taking.

"Who do you have in mind?" Naruto asked warily.

"Sakura Haruno. I will prepare the arrangement soon. " Naruto frowned when he realized that something was definitely wrong with his best friend. Making a mental note to tell Kakashi about it, he nodded and told Sasuke he'd visit later.

"I SAID THAT?" Sakura cried in shock. Ino and Kiba had visited the castle for the day as everyone was informing poor Sakura of her little rebel streak. They were all in the living room having tea and cake.

"Yes, you did!" Haku cried. "You told me to shut up as well!"

Sakura's eyes got watery as she flung herself onto Haku. "I'm so sorry!" Everyone else ignored the two as they began to chat with themselves.

"So she doesn't remember anything?" Tobi asked.

"Nope, but I guess that's a good thing." Kisame said.

Sasori soon noticed this troublesome look on Sakura's face. "Is something wrong?"

"Yeah. There's something that's been bugging me. Something important happened last night but I wasn't sure if it was a dream or not." Sakura said as she began to stroke her hair. She looked up at Itachi and blushed.

His eyes widened. Did Sakura remember what he had said that night to her? He was on the edge of his seat and waited for the pink haired human to continue. Seriously, what human has pink hair?

"Sakura, please come back to me."

"I want to be with you forever."

"What was it Sakura?" Kiba asked. He was slowly getting over his crush on Sakura and instead was falling for Ino who confessed that she liked him.

"Where did the huge cherry blossom tree come from?" Sakura asked. Itachi almost fell out of his seat. That was the important thing that's been bugging her? Was his confession not important at all? "It's like a dream come true. I always wanted a cherry blossom tree in the backyard." She finished with a smile. Itachi couldn't help but smile either. Oh well. He'd just have to wait for her to remember.

Itachi's eyes narrowed as he looked outside the window where the large cherry blossom tree was. There was someone standing at the base of the tree. When he looked again, the person was gone. He soon looked around to see if Kisame and the others noticed, but they were too engrossed in telling Sakura what had happened during her "tyrant" phase.

He had to secure his castle even more, especially with Madara out there trying to get to Sakura. He couldn't help but sigh. Did Sakura truly have something special in her that he wasn't able to detect? Madara considered her a threat, so there had to be something. He was going to have to look into things.

XxXxXxXxXxX

Sakura still couldn't believe what had happened she was actually able to go outside. With Haku's permission, she was able to go out with Ino and Kiba as long as Tobi went with her.

"Tobi is so happy to hang out with Sakura-chan and friends." Tobi said as he was holding hands with Sakura. She had let Kiba and Ino walk ahead of them. It was obvious that something was going on between them. Sakura couldn't help but smile for her friends. When Kiba turned red when Ino had laced her hands with his, Sakura took this as a sign to give the two some room. She took Tobi and walked in the other direction.

"Is it alright for Tobi and Sakura-chan to leave Ino-chan and Kiba?" Tobi asked in a child-like voice.

"Yeah, they're going on a date!" Sakura smiled as they continued to walk around the town. They ended up passing by Shikamaru's house. The guy was sleeping as Chouji was next to him waving hello.

The two ended the day by eating at this ramen house. The nice old man gave them their bowls as Tobi just stared at his. Tobi soon noticed that Sakura was staring at him.

"Is something wrong?" Tobi asked.

"How are you going to eat with your mask on?" Sakura asked.

"Tobi is shy to eat with Sakura-chan around."

"Why do you wear a mask?" Sakura questioned as she took a bite of her ramen.

"It's too hide away from Madara…" Tobi said quietly.

"Madara?" Sakura repeated as she tilted her head to the side. "Who's that?"

Tobi inwardly cursed. He quickly shook his head as he looked at Sakura. "Tobi will take off the mask, but Sakura-chan must promise not to tell anyone what she sees. Not even Itachi-nii knows." Sakura nodded her head as she waited for Tobi to reveal what was under the mask. She was surprised to see a handsome man with a baby-like face. He had spiky black hair. The weird thing was that Tobi only had one normal red eye. The other eye was covered with a patch.

"What happened?" Sakura frowned as she touched the covered eye.

"I got into a fight in order to protect Itachi and Sasuke when they were little." Sakura was shocked that he wasn't talking in third person anymore.

"Who are you?" Sakura said as she took a step back. Tobi looked around before grabbing Sakura's hand and ran out of the ramen shop unnoticed. The two finally made it to a park where the two sat down under the shade of a tree.

"My name is Obito Uchiha. I am the older cousin of Itachi. I was rumored to have died, giving this eye-" Obito paused to touch his left eye patch. "…To my best friend Kakashi. I had fought to the death with someone in order to protect my cousins. If that man knew I was still alive…"Tobi didn't finish his sentence and he didn't have to. Sakura knew it was something bad.

"So you've been using 'Tobi' as an alias?" Sakura inferred as Obito nodded. "Without my other eye, I don't have full control of the Uchiha power. Please keep this a secret between us."

"Who is this man you fought?"

Obito sighed. He shouldn't have said anything. Well, it was too late now. Sakura was too into the game to prevent her from getting further involved. "Madara Uchiha. He's our uncle. He grew jealous when his brother, Fugaku, became leader of the Uchiha clan and King of the Underworld. It got worse when he named Itachi his successor. In order to get the throne, he had snuck into the Uchiha castle to kill Itachi who was I guess five in human language at the time. I was fourteen. My friends Kakashi and Rin were with me to stop him. We battle it out but I was dying when he used a deadly jutsu on me. Kakashi had lost his left eye when he helped me during the fight. He placed a curse on Kakashi that only one with the Sharingan eye can stop. Madara soon fled the night and went on a low-profile. Rin gave up her life to save me and transfer my new eye to Kakashi to save him and gave me her eye. She was my fiancée but she was in love with Kakashi. I was in love with her and was happy when she told me she realized that she loved me that night. Since then, I've been hiding under the name of Tobi. I'm still not use to seeing my new eye, so I always hid it."

Sakura surprised Obito by hugging him. "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have never met Itachi because he would have been dead. It's okay. You've done enough." Sakura smiled. "This time I will protect Itachi because he has always protected me…all this time."

"Sakura-chan…" Obito began to say before smiling. "You truly love him don't you?" Sakura let go of him and ran up ahead. She soon stopped and turned around to face him.

Sakura didn't say anything but give him a smile. "Come on, let's-"Her green eyes widened as she saw a sword go through Obito's chest.

"So that's where you've been hiding." A man said. He had long spiky raven hair with eyes similar to that of Itachi's when he was in his demon mode.

"Run…" Obito coughed out as Sakura took a step back. The man behind Obito removed the spear from his chest and kicked him away. His orange mask had rolled away from him.

"Hello, love. You must be Sakura-chan." The man said with a smirk. There was another man with glasses next to him who summoned a snake.

"Get her!" He ordered the snake.

She ran.

XxXxXxXxXxX

"They were right behind us, but then they went to another direction. When we followed them, we were met with the forest." Ino explained. "We thought they probably went back home, which is why we're here now."

"Damn it." Itachi frowned. "Who let Sakura out with Tobi by themselves?"

"I-I did." Haku said. "I didn't think they'd leave Ino-chan and Kiba."

Itachi was going to say something when they heard someone scream in the front door. A maid had appeared running into the living room they were all in. Her apron covered in dirt and blood…a blood of an Uchiha's.

"Who is that?" Deidara asked.

"Obito-nii?" Itachi said shocked. He thought his cousin died. Deidara was shocked when he saw the dirty orange mask in his hand.

"That's Tobi, yeah?" He said surprised.

"What happened?" Itachi asked as he grabbed his cousin by the collar of his shirt. "Where's Sakura?"

"M-Madara made his move." Obito said as he coughed out blood.

"Haku, attend to him with the maids. Deidara, inform the underworld what has happened then come back here to protect Ino and the mutt. Kisame, you and Sasori come with me. Ino, you and the mutt stay here. It's not safe outside right now." Itachi said. Kiba glared at the nickname.

"But I want to go and find Sakura as well!" Ino said.

"You. Stay. Here. That's an order, got it?" Itachi growled, causing Ino to jump. He soon ran out of the house with Kisame and the Sasori following. Ino frowned and turned around.

"You better find her." Ino said.

"Of course." Itachi said as he disappeared with Kisame and Sasori. Deidara immediately fell into a portal that led to the underworld.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Sakura tried to catch her breath as she ran to the bridge where she had first met Kiba. Going under it, she leaned her forehead against the cold wall and closed her eyes. She was scared. She was scared of the demons after her. She was worried about Obito. She could feel her heart beat echo in her ears. The image of Obito getting stabbed was still in her mind. Who was that man that was after her and why?

"Found you." A voice said. Sakura tried to move but it was too late. A snake had her in its grip, threatening to squeeze the life out of her.

"Don't kill her now, Kabuto." Madara said as he appeared in front of Sakura and cupped her face. "Hello love. You're even more beautiful than I imagined."

"Don't touch me!" Sakura growled. Madara just smirked as he knocked her out. He soon threw Sakura over his shoulder.

"Well, that was fairly easy. Sasuke should be awake by now. We have to fetch him to continue our plans."

"Itachi must know that we have the girl by now. That Obito probably told him already. I told you we should have just killed him." Kabuto frowned as he pushed his glasses up.

"But where would the fun be in that?" Madara grinned. "Now, let's go."

A black ink tiger moved and attacked Madara as someone grabbed Sakura out of his arms. That person soon drew a bird as it came to life and flew off with Sakura with him.

"Damn that son of mine." Madara growled.

XxXxXxXxXxX

When Sakura came to, she realized that she was in an unknown room. Looking outside the window, she saw a red sky with black clouds. She was in the demon world. The room she was in smelled like ink.

"So you're awake." A voice said. Turning around, she saw a very pale man with short dark brown hair. He was cute but too pale for her taste.

"Who are you?" Sakura asked. She remembered that she was being chased after Madara.

"My name is Sai Uchiha." The person introduced himself.

"Uchiha…" Sakura repeated. "Are you related to Itachi?"

He nodded. "He is my cousin. And that man after you is my father."

At that, Sakura tried to get away from him. "Don't get nearer."

"Don't worry; I'm not your enemy. I am not in good terms with my father. He is trying to hurt you and I promised dickless I would help protect you."

"Dickless?"

"DON'T TEACH HER THAT!" Naruto screamed as he came into the room with a worried Hinata.

"Sakura-san!" Hinata said as she brought the girl into a hug. "I was so worried."

"Yeah! When Deidara came down here and told us what happen, Karin nearly flipped and went to face her uncle by herself." Naruto said. "He still has a meeting with my fists, believe it!"

"Your first priority is to make sure my father doesn't go near Sasuke or ugly here, dickless." Sai commented as both Naruto and Sakura glared at the pale demon boy.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" The two said.

"For a human, you're quite scary." Sai gave her a fake smile.

"Sakura, you're safe!" A voice said. Sakura looked at the door to see Karin standing before them all before she too flung herself onto Sakura. Hinata gave room for the King's sister.

"When I heard my uncle had his hands on you, I was so worried." Karin cried as she pulled Sakura close to her. It was at the moment Sakura noticed the bruises on Karin's neck. Karin stiffened when she felt Sakura's warm hands on her throat. Looking at the girl's eyes, Karin saw them take a glow as she felt a cool but soothing feeling around her throat.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto called out having Sakura drop her hand and face the loud demon. Sai narrowed his eyes at his cousin when he saw the bruises that were there a second ago gone. He then brought his attention back to the pink haired girl. Just what was she? She couldn't be human but she wasn't a demon either.

It seemed like Hinata and Karin had noticed it as well and signaled each other they were going to talk about it later. Right now, they had to inform everyone that Sakura was safe, for now.

XxXxXxXxXxX

"Oh dear, it seems like Madara is after her." A strong voice said as they watched everything that happened in a crystal ball. He soon looked at the woman across from him as she frowned at the name mentioned.

"To think he'd learn his lesson after out last battle." A cold sophisticated voice commented with disgust.

"You almost died if I didn't get to you in time." The man said

"I had to make sure she was safe."

"The things you do for love."

"Of course."

"She grew up to be very beautiful. Sakura is the perfect name for her. To think a demon would think of such a name."

"Don't judge. I can tell he loves her."

"We'll see if they pass the test. Remember the rules of this place. A demon and human can never be together."

"But she's the exception." The woman smiled as she watched the pink haired girl giggling with her demon friends. "We shall meet soon, Sakura…"
