The Lipthorian Princess

I Don't Own Naruto

Hope You Enjoy!

Well this is my newest chapter I and I hope that I fit some SasuSaku somewhere. Again, it's too long of a story.

Hope You Enjoy!

Many thoughts crossed the young girls mind at that moment. Sadness from the death of her father, hurt for being used once again as a pun, and regret for making her teammate and friend go through so much pain. But what she felt most was her hate for Itachi.

She had never wanted to feel anyone's blood stain her hands until now. She wanted to make him scream in pain and agony. She wanted him to pay for the people that he hurt.

That's right sweet innocent Sakura had something she never had before blood lust, the worst kind of emotion to have, the want of a specimen's blood tainted on your fingers.

She wanted revenge and oh would she get it. All logical thinking was gone. No longer would she fall pathetically to Itachi's plans. She would get revenge, for her father, for her and the Uchiha's clan, and for Sasuke.

'Sasuke' she thought. 'That's right Sasuke's goal it to kill Itachi, not mine. What am I doing? What was I thinking? Had I really thought so selfishly to take Sasuke's goal away from him, the only thing keeping him alive? No! I will not stoop so low. No matter how much pain I'm in. Traitor or not Sasuke is still my friend. Whether he sees me that way or not.'

She finally looked up at the man who almost succeeded in taking away her innocent thoughts. Itachi Uchiha. Standing in front of her with that stupid smirk present.

"Your sick Itachi. This was your plan from the start wasn't it? You wanted me to succumb to the darkness. To become a girl only wanting your blood tainting my fingers. You wanted me to think irrationally so that I would kill you and then have your brother find out. You want all my love, happiness, and hope destroyed, don't you? But why, what would that do for you if you were dead. Enlighten me."

Itachi looked at her impassively.

"It will help me because then my brother will hate you. Don't you see princess once my brother hates you then he'll kill you. Making you lose all the love you hold. My pathetic little brother will do it out of pure anger. But, when he comes to, I don't think he'll be to happy with himself do you?" He said while chuckling once again.

The young woman looked up at him angrily. So that was it. He wanted to make Sasuke suffer too. But why, didn't he just want her hand in marriage?"

"You're not making sense Itachi. What will your brother killing me do for you? Isn't my hand in marriage all that you wanted?" She asked.

He looked at her with a cocky grin.

"Your hand in marriage is what I want yes. But I also want for my little brother to pay, because once he kills you from pure anger he'll kill himself from self-hatred." Itachi said while laughing mechanically.

"Kill himself? What are you talking about? Why would Sasuke want to kill himself after killing me? I'm just an annoying fangirl in his eyes nothing more." She said in a tone of distaste. Sasuke wouldn't care. If he didn't care then, there's no chance of him caring now.

The man looked at her.

"That's what you think princess. But, we're off subject lets get back to me pretending to be dead while making it look like you killed me. I'm sure my foolish little brother is close, so let's make it fast." He said while taking some paper bombs and throwing them in the air to make a big explosion.

Sakura ducked down running away as fast as she could before the trees fell down on her. But weirdly enough Itachi just stayed there.

"Did he just commit suicide?" she thought absent-mindedly. But before she could determine that she felt four chakra's approaching fast, and to her great luck Sasuke was one of them. Did he have to be so desperate to kill his brother honestly?

Thinking quickly Sakura put on her ANBU mask as well as hiding every inch of hair she had. No way was Itachi going to win. That she'd make sure of.

Sasuke was approaching fast. He could feel two chakra's near by but they both disappeared as quickly as they came. Though the huge explosion was a dead give away it could also be a trap so Sasuke stayed on his guard.

He was walking in between all the fallen trees until he stepped on something. He looked down to investigate to find a hand with purple nail polish? Who in their right mind would wear purple nail polish?

"Akatsuki" was all he said while bending down to see which member had recently been slaughtered. But one thing he didn't expect was to see..

"ITACHI!" He screamed.

Now if there was one thing he never did it was show emotions. But for this he was nowhere near prepared. Who could be strong enough to kill Itachi?

It was then he noticed another dead body. He went closer to further his inspection.

Well I guess the number for shock in one day was two because that person on the ground was the head of Akatsuki Cytose Lipthio. Ok did these to kill each other?

That thought was completely dismissed out of the young mans head as he saw the wounds on the dead king.

"Can't be Cytose who killed Itachi, because these wounds on his chest aren't any jutsu's that my brother uses. It seems they were both killed by the same person." He said out loud.

"Sasuke-kun I sense a chakra. It's not very big and barely noticeable but it's there." Karin screamed.

It was then Sakura came out of hiding knowing she was caught. Sasuke looked up.

"You, who are you? Where you the one to kill Itachi? Sasuke said in deadly tone.

This was bad. He was already blaming her without seeing who she was. If he saw who she was it would certainly be worse. It was then she made her decision, if Sasuke was close to killing her she would not show him her identity. He would not fall for his brother's stupid plans. Sasuke would live and if he caught her she would die.

Sasuke was still looking at her while seeing the weapons she held.

'Yeah, it was definitely her. She held the weapons that were used to kill Cytose. She must have killed my brother as well. Wait was this the girl that lead me here unintentionally? It must be.' He thought.

"So you're the one who opened that tree up. Tell me why did you kill Itachi?" He demanded.

The girl was silent. This ticked him off more. He was about to lunge for her if not for someone interfering.

"Hey kid are you an Uchiha?" Was all the figure said.

Sasuke looked at him and answered, "yes."

"Well then I'm sorry to say but my boss probably won't like you killing this girl. You see I saw the whole thing and I think that she is the boss's si…."

But before the man could continue Sasuke went right at him. The man was taken by surprise.

"Dude, you could have killed me. I'm just trying to take the girl. So if you could please not att…"
Once again the poor man was interrupted, but this time by a punch from Sakura.

"Listen freak I'm not going anywhere with you" She said getting into a stance.

The guy looked at both of them putting his hands up shaking his head.

"Why do people always have to shoot the messenger? All I'm trying to do is ASK did you hear me woman ASK for you to come with me before this basket case kills you for a crime you did not commit. That's all! Promise. So if you could just Ahh." He screamed as Sasuke once again came at him, and let me tell you the Uchiha is not what you would call a bad aimer.

It was until more figures came that Sasuke stepped back.

"Finally. Now guys you see that girl?" The man said while pointing to Sakura. "That's the one I was telling you about." He finished.

Another figure stepped out blocking Sakura from Sasuke's path. "Sorry sir but you can not kill this girl. For she is protected by the Tree Survivors." Was all the man said while putting his hand out.

Sugietsu looked at the group weirdly.

"Great as if my life couldn't get any worse. First I get stuck on a team with a brooding egotistical freak, kiss up, and not to mention an ugly annoying brat. But now I'm in front of a bunch of tree huggers? WHAT NEXT?" He said in annoyance.

The one man looked at him clearly not amused.

"I said you were not allowed to kill this girl because she was protected by the TREE SURVIVORS, not tree huggers. Get your English straight kid!" The man repeated.

Sugietsu was about to teach the man a lesson until Sakura once again punched the other guy.

"Ask or not I'm not going anywhere. Now would you please be so kind to GET OUT OF HERE!" Sakura said losing her patience.

All the tree huggers' opps I mean survivors of course took a couple of steps back in fear for their lives.

One tried to speak but just ran off screaming like a little girl. The other men just followed deciding that if they told they're boss about her then they'd have a better chance. So they all left.

"That was weird." Juugo said while sweat dropping.

"Well at least the tree huggers are gone." Sugietsu added.

"TREE SURVIVORS!" said a man from the background.

"That was even weirder." Juugo said once again.

Sasuke just stood there a couple of minutes wondering what just happened but finally snapped back to reality.

"So you have more people after you than just me?" He said after shaking his head.

Sakura finally snapped out of it and looked at him.

"Why should I try telling you anything if you won't listen. I'd be wasting my breath. But one thing I will say is that I did not kill Itachi, and better yet Itachi is not dead." Is all she said as she ran off deep into the forest.

"Strange girl." Sugietsu said while eyeing her as she ran.

Sasuke ignored him though, because something wasn't right. In some ways he believed what she said, but what he didn't believe was that for some reason he thought her voice sounded familiar. Oh, well he didn't worry about it. But one thing was for sure. He absolutely had no idea what to do anymore.

He looked over at his team, and he uses that word very loosely people.

"I need some time to think." He said with a sigh as he headed for the trees.

Karin looked at him worriedly.

"What do you mean Sasuke-kun?" She asked hoping it wasn't what she thought it was.

"Plain and simple I'm going home." Was all he said leaving them in the dust.

Team Hebi all looked at each other and thought the same thing.

"What just happened?"

Well that's all for this chapter. I know it was pretty short but I wanted to end it here so I could do more with my next chapter.

Oh and by the way. I'm going to do something out of the loop here.

Seeing as I get of task so many times I'd like for you readers to tell me when to have the next chapter up. But it might not always be the next day and there will be times that I can't, but I'll give it a try. So tell me do you want a chapter done at least by the end of the week or month maybe a certain day? Just tell me and I'll see what I can do so please review.

Hope You Enjoyed!
