---Sakura's P.O.V.---

"NOTHING'S WRONG WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Deidara-sempai yelled at me.

Deidara-senpai is scary! I only asked what was wrong! His fingers were cletching, like he as angry or frustrated. Deidara-sempai tried to hit me like the grass ninja had tried to hit Sasori-danna. Why? The big blue man kept Deidara-sempai from hitting me. The big blue man is nice, because he saved me from being hit. I don't want to be hit.

"you!" someone hisses.

I turn to see a pale man with long black hair and dark red eyes. He's scary. And the way he looks at me makes me feel like I've been bad and stupid. but...

"You look like the Raven Teme!" I declare pointing at the dark pale man. "Except you don't have a duck butt for hair! Your hair is long and pretty like Deidara-senpai's!" I tell him with a pleased grin.

Deidara-senpai freezes at my words and the big blue man tenses. Did I do something wrong? "You're dead, kunoichi." the red-eyed man says in a scary voice, pulling a kunai out of his cloak. I'm confused. "My name's not...Dead...My name's Sakura-chan!" I inform the scary man. He glares at me harder. Is he okay?

"A-are you okay?" I ask the man slowly.

---Kisame's P.O.V.---

I see Itachi's face tense slightly from vicious anger. The little kunoichi really has no idea how much danger she is in. Does she? She has no idea how close to death she is. Did she hit her head or something? Why isn't she running away from us, screaming? I move over to Itachi slowly, and wrap my arms around his waist. Something tells me that we can't afford a fight right now. Not with Itachi in such a weak state.

"Hey..." I whisper, "calm down. It's alright." Itachi simply needs to be soothed. No one has ever ever bested him in anything so it's natural for him to be violent towards her.

"I"m going to kill her." Itachi states darkly.

This is not good.

---Itachi's P.O.V.---

I want to lash out at the girl. I want to make her bleed and scream and sob. I want her to die in the most painful way possible. She must die. That bitch will die. So why will Kisame not allow me to kill her?!

"Let me go this instant, Kisame." I say in my darkest voice, my sharingan never leaving that god aweful pink. Instead of the desired effect of release, Kisame tightened his grip around me. Deidara shifts to move between the bitch and me. "Itachi-san...I don't think that's such a good idea...un" the blond says. "She's still needed...un"

I glare heatedly at the stupid bomber.

The girl will die. She deserved to die. After what she did, it was to risky to allow her to live.

"Itachi? Kisame? you're back." Konan said in a questioning tone. She glanced at the restrained uchiha, raising an eyebrow. "Sakura?"

"Hai, Konan-chan?" the pink haired medic answered.

"Leader is resting. I checked his systems, he's fully healed. But I think You should go keep an eye on him while I sort out all the lose ends. Okay?" Konan said, smiling over at Sakura.

A blush tinted Sakura's cheeks as she smiled, nodding. "Okay!" she said, skipping away towards Leader's room.

Konan glared over at me asking in a dark voice "What is going on?" I feel myself stiffen. If there were ever two people he ever feared, they would be the leader and his angel. Leader-sama and Konan.

Behind me I hear Kisame sigh. "Itachi-san wanted to kill...Pinky." he said, forgetting the bitches name. "She....fought him and....defeated him...." he told her. I feel my world turn red as I remember the battle.

---flashback---

'This battle is becoming boring.' I think as the pink-haired kunoichi rushes at me once more. Doesn't she comprehend that I can follow her every movement and repel any jutsu?

Then again, she does not appear to rely on any jutsu whatsoever. She simply uses her fists. Perhaps she doesn't even know any jutsu. I wouldn't be surprised. She had been teamed with the jinchuriki and my foolish little brother. She wouldn't have had to work very hard at all.

Kunoichi were so useless (except Konan) (and somewhere Konan sneezed) All they ever thought about were their apperances and strong men. They spent more time with make-up and hair products than with their training. It was sickening. Pathetic.

I feel my eyes widen as I barely dodge a chakra filled punch. It flew past me striking the ground. They widened even more when I look upon the damage of her punch. There was only a crater in the place of where I once stood......Perhaps not completely useless.

My kunai flys toward her chest before I even notice it has left my hand. Yeah, my skills are just that good ((Hey, Even Itachi can have a moment of pride)) It irritates me when the girl snatches the weapon out of the air without so much as a scratch. And she even has the audiousy to trow my own weapon back at me, looking me straight in the eye as well.

How foolish.

I also catch the kunai from the air, planning to simply slit the girls throat. After all, it would be simpler to deal with her if she were just a corpse.

A different kunai cutting into my shoulder...surprises me.

Why did I not see it?! An optical illusion? so, the girl has some experiance with using genjutsu in a battle? Interesting. No matter, I'll end this now.I feel my sharingan shift into one of it's more advanced and deadly form.

"Tsukuyomi" I whisper darkly, capturing the kunoichi's gaze, effectively trapping her within my world of genjutsu. I do believe it's about time that I put this little girl in her place. That place being a never ending coma.

The world of Tsukuyomi is stained red, a brilliant blood stained red. Now to turn the little girl's childish pink to red.

I turn to veiw the girl, katana drawn and ready to strike. But... there are two look-alike kunoichi...? They are talking? What about? I creep close to the two, staying at the edge of their sight, listening in on them.

"Calm down, Sakura."

"But..."

"Shush! We'll kick his Uchiha ass in here!"

"Inner! This is his genjutsu."

One of the two smirked. "Sooo? this is my world. So it's stained red, big deal. I'll still win."

"You mean we? With us there is never really an I" The other said with a giggle.

"Cha!!"

I feel myself twitch with annoyance. This is my world. And they shall die. My katana slashes out at the two of them, thirsting for their blood. One of the two kunoichi turned, capturing my blade with her palms, a wide smirk on her face. Written on her forehead were the words (in kanji) "Inner Sakura". What is that?

The one with the kanji on her forehead giggled, an odd gleam in her eye. "Sorry, but you're not going to win this time, Uchiha-san." she said cheerfully. "This is my home."

I thrust my blade towards her, aiming for her chest, or more exactly her heart. Unfortunately, the girl side-steps me, giggles streaming from her lips.

In the place she once stood is a little pink flower. Pink in a place where everything is red, black, or white. Pink. The two girls giggle.

Foolish.

They shall still die.

I attack and attack with deadly perscision, yet not a single strike makes contact with either of the two pink kunoichi. I can feel myself becoming angry as the two girls giggle at me. They shall die. I will kill them.

"Ne Itachi-san!" the plain girl calls. "Look around you!"

My eyes narrow in suspicion, but I cannot keep them from glancing around me or from widening when I do see my surroundings.

Everywhere there are pink sakura blossoms that seem to glow in the dark night. Everything is lite up with their ethreal light which dyes even the high up moon a light pink shade.

Where did my Tsukuyomi go?

The girl with the kanji written on her forehead grinns "This is my world, bitch!" she declared, rushing at me with her fists. She stikes me, hard, before i can even think to dodge.

Damnit. Now...I'm pissed.

I feel my sharingan contort, eating away at my chakra, but I could care less at the moment. i want her dead. Both of them. the illusion we are all now trapped in once again begins to shift to the color of red as my jutsu to attack her mind. I want her to fall a coma so deep, she'll never wake up again.

The plain girl is the first of the two to scream while the marked one slashes at me violently. The other girl's screams soon join the first's as my jutsu becomes more painful, more deadly. I can feel my eyes begin to bleed as I regain control of the genjutsu, the sakura trees wilting away into nothing. They shall die.

With a scream the "Inner sakura" girl moves to glare at me, her eyes a shoking green amoungst the red of Tsukuyomi. Her hair swirls and lengthens in an unnerving wind. Her teeth appear as kunai and her nails as scalpal blades. A demon? "You're so dead, UCHIHA!!!" she screams, attacking me mercilessly, endlessly. She's a demon. A bijuu.

My katana sinks into her flesh, but the pink demon pays it no heed, clawing at me with her hands. I realize all to late, she's going for my eyes.

A sickening sound fills the air as she rips my eyes from my head at the same time, shredding the tissue.

The genjutsu ends suddenly. I still have my eyes and the pink demon is gone. But the other girl is still there.

"You will die." I hiss, rushing at her with a kunai even as my real eyes begin to bleed. The girl doesn't move. Good, she'll be easier to kill.

Before my blade makes contact with the girl's flesh, I'm trown away from her, my back hitting the trunk of a tree. I glimse short silver hair through the blood in my eyes. Kakashi.

A shadow falls over me. "Back off, Hatake." a gruff voice orders. Kisame.

I fall into the shark-like man's back as my world turns black.

---flashback end---

"Can you explain yourself, Itachi?" Konan asks me coldly. "Even if she did defeat you..."

My eyes trail to the floor. In shame? "No, Konan-san, I cannot." I admit. I know without looking up that Konan has narrowed her eyes at me.

"Then Leader-sama will have to look and see then." she states, turning and leaving the room.

I feel my eyes widen. Does she mean to say that Leader will....Oh god.
