Sakura woke up with the sun shining in her face. Damn sun. Can't it just leave her alone? Then she heard a mumble beside her.
"Are you trying to get me fat or something…" Ino mumbled in her sleep. Sakura sat up quietly and stared at her.
"Mmm… that tastes… good… give me more… Bob…" Ino mumbled again. Sakura stared at her in confusion. What the hell? She heard movement beside her and looked to see Tenten and Hinata waking up. Tenten yawned in annoyance while rubbing her tired eyes.
"Damn Sakura… how could you sleep with Ino talking in her sleep the whole night?" Tenten said glaring at Ino, who was smiling in her sleep. Sakura sweat dropped.
"I don't know…" Sakura answered, not knowing what to say. Since when did Ino talk in her sleep? Then Ino woke up and stretched happily while rubbing her eyes.
"Wow! That was the best sleep I've ever had!" Ino said happily. Tenten glared.
"Well that makes one of us." Tenten said before getting out of her sleeping bag. Hinata giggled. Ino looked at her questionably before replacing that look.
"I wonder if Neji woke up yet…" Sakura asked out loud. Everyone smirked when they heard a girly scream throughout the whole main house. Neji quickly came in the bedroom angrily with half make up and nail polish on; and his hair was all messed up. The girls fell over in laughter.
"Who did this?!" Neji yelled. Ino, Tenten and Hinata stopped laughing at his angry voice; Sakura sat on the ground full of laughter and stopped when she didn't hear anybody laughing with her. Neji glared.
"HARUNO!!!" Neji yelled. Oo Sakura quickly got up.
"H-hey Neji… you look… pretty this morning…" Ino and Tenten didn't dare to laugh. Neji steamed.
"I'LL GET YOU HARUNO!!!" Neji screamed. Sakura quickly got her stuff and jumped on the window sill, still in her pajamas.
"I'll see you guys later!" Sakura quickly jumped out before Neji could catch her.
"You better watch your back Haruno!!" Sakura heard from where she once was. Sakura ran as fast as she could into the village and stopped when all of the teenage boys were looking at her. What were they staring at? Sakura looked down to see herself in very short shorts and a shirt that only covered so much of her stomach. Sakura blushed. Maybe she should have changed first. Sakura quickly jumped on a roof top and jumped to her house.
Sakura opened the door to her house and walked inside. Her mom and dad still weren't up yet. She walked upstairs to her room and shut the door. Sakura looked out at the cloudless sky. Today would be a good time to train. Sakura quickly changed into her ninja outfit and walked out the door.
Sakura walked through the forest, looking in all directions. This is a good spot to train. She should get started early.
Sakura had been training for what seemed like hours. She was sweaty, tired, and didn't have much chakra left. She stood up from the ground and looked at the destroyed training spot. She sweatdropped. Maybe she trained too hard. She heard someone from behind and quickly turned around. Her eyes widened in fear.
"….Itachi…." Sakura said, letting his name escape her throat. Kisame smirked.
"…..You're not in a good spot girl….." Kisame said. Sakura realized her position and gulped. She had been training for hours, deep in the forest where no one could hear them. She was tired and low on chakra. They could kill her easily. Sakura put her hand near her kunai pouch.
"…What do you want?" Sakura asked, with her Inner panicking. Itachi smirked while looking up with the sharingan in his eyes.
"For you to suffer…" Itachi said in a deadly voice. Sakura stepped back. Kisame smirked.
"This is going to be fun…"
Sasuke woke up when his stomach had a bad feeling. He immediately sat up and looked around. His desk had a note on it. Sasuke gave a questionable look. How did someone get in and he not notice? Sasuke got up and walked to his desk and picking up the note.
Sasuke,
Be at the forest if you want her to live.
Itachi
Sasuke's eyes widened in fear. Itachi… Sasuke quickly ran out with the note lying on the floor forgotten.
Sakura breathed heavily while dodging another attack from Kisame's sword. Sakura landed on the ground. She took a deep breath and wiped the blood off of her mouth. Kuso… all she could do is dodge, and she could barely do that. How is she going to get out of here?
Sakura got up and stepped back a few feet. Kisame smirked, and in a blink of an eye, slashed Sakura on her stomach. Sakura's eyes widened as she flew back into a tree. Sakura coughed up blood while sliding down the trunk. Sakura put her arm around her stomach and cursed.
Kisame smirked as he stood above her with his sword in the air. Sakura gasped while doing a few, quick hand signs. Kisame brought down his sword; replacement. Itachi took out his sword.
"You're taking too long." Itachi said. Itachi disappeared so fast, that not even in a blink of an eye, slashed Sakura repeatingly. Sakura screamed in pain.
Sasuke was running through the forest when a scream was heard. Sasuke gasped.
'Sakura-chan….' Sasuke quickly ran in the direction of the scream.
Itachi straddled Sakura on the ground. Sakura struggled, but couldn't get out of his grip. She was now by this time, bleeding in many different places. Itachi activated the Mangekyo Sharingan. Sakura gasped and quickly closed her eyes. Itachi punched her in the face. She coughed up some blood.
"Sakura!!!" A voice was heard. Kisame smirked when Sasuke ran through the clearing. Sakura gasped and looked at him.
"S…Sasuke-kun…" Sakura said. Kisame smirked and stood inbetween Itachi and Sakura, and Sasuke. Sasuke took out his sword. Kisame did the same.
"LET HER GO!" Sasuke screamed before running towards them. Kisame smirked and swung his sword. Sasuke dodged and swung his sword as well. Kisame blocked it with his on sword. Sasuke activated his sharingan.
Itachi quickly grabbed her chin and turned her face toward him. Sakura tried to close her eyes, but it was too late. Sakura gasped when everything turned black. Sakura's eyes became lifeless. Sasuke's eyes widened.
"SAKURA!!!" Sasuke yelled while running towards them. Kisame stood inbetween them again and did some hand signs.
"Suiton: Bakusui Shōha!" Kisame yelled as water came out of nowhere and attacked Sasuke. Sasuke pumped chakra into his body and attacked Kisame. Kisame screamed in pain as he fell to the ground, becoming temporarily paralized.
"ITACHI!!" Sasuke yelled while running towards him. Itachi just looked at him. Sasuke looked back and immdiately stopped. Itachi had a kunai to his neck. Sasuke grinded his teeth together.
"Itachi… let her go…" Sasuke said with anger in his voice. Itachi smirked.
"Foolish little brother… how can you defeat me if you can't even protect your precious people?" Itachi asked him. Sasuke gasped. Sasuke's eyes turned from fear to anger. Itachi noticed someone at the last minute and quickly got off of Sakura and jumped a few meters away. Clones appeared from every direction. Sasuke looked at him.
"The #1 knucklehead ninja, Naruto Uzumaki is here!!!!" Naruto yelled with a thumbs up. Sasuke smirked. Dobe…
Itachi stood their and looked at the Kyuubi holder. He still has him to take care of…
"Come on Naruto!!" Sasuke yelled while activating his sharingan again and doing hand seals for the chidori. Naruto did some hand signs for the rasengan. Itachi smirked.
Sakura looked around her. She was in total darkness. She couldn't see anything. Then she heard something behind her. She quickly turned around. Itachi was starring right at her with the sharingan. She tried to step back, but she couldn't move. She gasped and her eyes widened. She looked up and Itachi all of a sudden right in front of her. She gasped when she felt a cold, sharp object get pushed through her stomach.
"Foolish girl… your weak… your hatred for people is not enough…" Itachi said to her. Sakura grabbed the sword painfully. Itachi took another sword and pushed it through her stomach. She gasped in pain while spitting out some blood. Itachi put a hand on her forehead. Memories of her life started to flow back through her mind.
Eight year old Sakura sat in the middle of the playground, crying at the other girls' antics.
"Forehead girl!!" One girl yelled.
"Billboard Brow!!" Another girl yelled. The girls then started to beat her up.
"Your annoying." Sasuke said after turning to her. Sasuke walked away from her. Sakura staired at his back.
Sakura cried on Sasuke's stomach, repeating his name over and over again. Her grip hardened on his shirt. He was dead. She wasn't there to help him. This was all of her fault.
Orochimaru bit his neck. Time seemed to stop as Sasuke's eyes widened in pain. She couldn't breathe as the fell to the ground holding his neck in pain. She quickly ran to him, saying his name. She grabbed onto him as Sasuke's painfully grabbed back, but tighter. She wasn't there… again… he got hurt… all she did was watch. Orochimaru disappeared after saying something before Sasuke yelled one last time in pain and fall onto her unconcious.
She heard him awake. He was alright! She said his name. Her eyes widened as she saw the purple colored chakra around him. Black markings covered his skin. Orochimaru ran through her mind. What was going on? He asked her something… she wasn't paying attention. He repeated it. The other nin stood up while smirking. Sasuke turned to him before breaking his arms. Sakura's eyes widened in fear.
He smirked evilly at the other nin. He was making his way over to him when her legs got up and ran over to him unconciously. She hugged him from behind. She told him stop. She was now sobbing into his back while looking into the eyes of the sharingan. Orochimaru… Orochimaru…
Sakura had cried for him. Telling him that he should forfeit. He didn't listen. She had to do something. The mark on his neck was getting worse. She had to tell the jonins. Sakura started raising her hand before she felt something else pushing it down. She opened her eyes to see Sasuke holding her wrist down while glaring into her eyes… that same glare…
It's none of your buisiness. He kept telling her. She fought back. There seemed to be no end. Her tears and her words kept spilling out. Sasuke turned away and repeated the same thing that he said when Team 7 came together. Kill a certain man… revenge…Uchiha clan… she still couldn't do anything…
Sakura staired painfully at his back. She was crying her heart out while spilling all of her feelings. She loved him. More than anything. He still wouldn't listen. She wanted to go with him. Help him. Save him from the darkness that consumes him. She has to stop him! She'll yell if she has to! He quickly disappeared. Sakura's eyes widened when she realized that he was behind her. Sakura stopped… she staired infront of her…
He said her name… she waited… Ariagatou… he just thanked her… what did he mean… she then felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck… his name escaped her throat as she fell to the ground unconcious. She felt him catch her and put her on the bench. She felt several strokes through her hair. She felt a hand on her chin and a set of lips on top of hers. Then she heard one last thing before going into complete unconciousness.
"I love you too Sakura-chan."
Sakura's eyes widened. Itachi smirked.
"So these are the memories that keep you attatched to my little brother… pathetic." Itachi said while taking out his sword and yet again stabbing her.
Sasuke and Naruto ran at him with rasengan and chidori in hand. Clone came from behind and held him in his place. Naruto and Sasuke attacked, but he was quickly replaced with one of the clones. There was a big explosion. Sasuke and Naruto held their arms up in defense as the smoke fogged the whole area. Sasuke looked around. Where did he go?! He gasped. Sakura!
He quickly ran out and saw Itachi standing over Sakura with a sword in his hand. Sasuke stopped breathing. No…
Sakura's eyes held pain. Her body was numb, and she was about to colapse. But she couldn't move. Itachi was now holding her by her neck against a wall. She couldn't even move his hand from around her neck.
"Pathetic. Truly pathetic." Itachi said. Sakura closed her eyes. No… she can't die here… no… a single tear came from her eye. Itachi smirked.
"This is where you die…" Itachi said. Sakura's eyes opened in anger.
"No!!" Sakura yelled. She disppeared. Itachi stepped back. Where did she-
He was suddenely grabbed from behind by something large. He was thrown against the wall. He cringed in pain. He looked up to see a big Sakura with writings on her forehead. He gasped. What the hell?
"SHANNARO!!!!!" She yelled. Inner Sakura grabbed Itachi with her large hands and started squezzing him. Itachi's eyes widened in pain. But how…
"You better get out of my mind right now!!!!! Before I kick your ass!!!!!" Inner Sakura yelled.
Itachi stood still over her. He dropped the sword and immediately grabbed his head. The sword came down…
And barely missed her head… Sasuke sighed in relief. He looked at Itachi… he was wide open for an attack.
"Naruto!!" Sasuke said while doing his chidori again. Naruto nodded and did the rasengan again. Itachi held his head.
'how… can this girl… escape the Mangekyo Sharingan?' Itachi thought. Then he realized he was wide open.
Sasuke pushed the chidori through his stomach. Itachi's eyes widened in pain. Sasuke quickly pulled back as Naruto used the rasengan on his heart.
"Rasengan!!!" Naruto yelled. Itachi flew back while knocking over some trees. He flew down a waterfall… while a sharp rock tore through his body. Sasuke panted… they did it… they defeated Itachi… Sasuke looked back at Sakura.
"Sakura!" He said while running over to her. He bent down and put a hand on her forehead. Her eyes slowly opened.
"S…Sasuke-kun…" She said dryly. Sasuke picked her up bridle-style.
"I'm getting you to the hospital. Just sleep." Sasuke said. Sakura complied and closed her eyes. Naruto ran over.
"Dattebayo!!!! Sakura-chan!!!! Are you ok?!" Naruto yelled. Sasuke hushed him.
"She's sleeping. So shut up dobe." Sasuke yelled. Naruto was going to say something, but then turned away and pouted. Sasuke smiled.
"Thanks dobe…" Sasuke said. Naruto turned to him and smiled back, knowing he meant by helping him defeat Itachi and save Sakura.
"No problem… Sasuke-teme." Naruto said. They both disappeared and made their way to the hospital.
Tsunade stood over Sakura's sleeping body and sighed.
"She just needs time to rest… she'll be alright." Tsunade said while turning to them. They both sighed in relief. She gave them a questionable look.
"So… you defeated Orochimaru… and now you defeated Itachi?" She asked. Sasuke shrugged while Naruto smiled at her with a thumbs up.
"You bet!! Dattebayo!!!" Naruto said. Sasuke rolled his eyes. Baka. Tsunade walked to the door.
"I'm signing you all up for the Jonin exams." Tsunade said while walking out the door. Naruto jumped up in excitement.
"YES!!! The JONIN exams!!" Naruto celebrated. Sasuke looked at Sakura questionably. She was having a dream.
Everything in Sakura's mind started to glow brighter. Her dream began.
Sakura woke up with the sun, yet again shining in her face. Damn. When will it just leave her the hell alone?! She felt something under her. She looked up to see 27 year old Sasuke Uchiha's sleeping face. She smiled and kissed his cheek. He opened his eyes and smiled at her.
"Good morning." Sakura said. Sasuke smiled back.
"Morning." Sasuke then got up and layed on top of Sakura and started kissing her neck.
"How was your sleep…" He asked her. She smiled and relaxed at his touch.
"Good… how about you…?" She asked. She felt him smile against her neck.
"Perfect…" He said while undoing her shirt from behind. Then they heard a pounding at the door. Sasuke sighed in annoyance. Sakura giggled. Sasuke got up and walked over to the bedroom door. Two kids quickly ran in and jumped on the bed.
"Wake up wake up wake up!!!" One of them yelled. Sakura laughed at their antics. Sasuke sighed again in annoyance. The oldest of the children ran to Sasuke.
"Dad!! Come help me with my kunai technique!!" Taichi said. Sasuke put a hand on his head.
"I promise I will help you later, ok?" He said. 8 year old Taichi nodded and smiled. 4 year old Kiyoko sat by Sakura.
"Mommy, can you make me some breakfast?" She asked. Sakura smiled kissed her forehead.
"Yea, come on." Sakura said while getting up out of bed. They all walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. Sasuke, Taichi and Kiyoko sat at the table. Then they heard a cry from the other room.
"Sasuke-kun, can you go get Shia-chan?" Sakura asked. He got up and walked into the room. Then an opening of a door was heard. Sakura looked up. 27 year old Naruto and Hinata walked in.
"Hey Sakura-chan!" He said while coming in. Sakura smiled.
"Hey Naruto, Hinata-chan." She said while they walked in. Hinata nodded.
"Hello Sakura-chan." Hinata said. 8 and 5 year old Kaeine and Sento ran in. Sakura smiled.
"Hello Sento-chan, Kaeine-chan." Sakura said. They smiled back.
"Hi Sakura-chan!" They both said while hugging her. Then they ran to Taichi and Kiyoko. Naruto and Hinata sat down.
"Here for breakfast I see?" She asked while Sasuke walked back in. Naruto smiled sheepishly.
"You make a great breakfast Sakura-chan!" Naruto said. Sakura laughed. Hinata blushed.
"I… hope we are not disturbing you…" She said slowly. She had lost the stuttering ever since Hinata and Naruto got married. Sakura was very proud for that. Sakura shook her head.
"Not at all! I love to have you guys over." Sakura said while smiling. Hinata smiled back.
"Dobe." Sasuke said while sitting down with Shinshia. Naruto stuck out his tongue.
"Teme." Naruto said. Hinata giggled.
"So, how is our Hokage?" Sakura asked Hinata and Naruto. Sento stood up.
"The strongest ninja ever!!" Sento yelled. Taichi stood up.
"No way!! MY dad is the strongest ninja ever!!" Taichi yelled. The both glared at each other. Sakura rolled her eyes. Typical Sasuke Jr. and Naruto Jr.
Sasuke smirked, knowing exactly what Sakura was thinking. Sakura set breakfast on the table.
"Eat up! There's enough for everyone!" She said with a bright smile on her face. Everyone began eating. A few minutes later, Kiyoko looked at the clock.
"Don't Taichi and Sento go to the academy today?" Kiyoko asked. Taichi and Sento quickly stood up.
"We have to go, bye!!" They yelled before running out the door. Hinata rolled her eyes.
"Late again…" She said. Naruto laughed. Kaiene walked over to Kiyoko.
"Do you wanna go play at the playground?" He asked her. She nodded before running to the door.
"We're going to the playground, bye!" She said while running out the door. Kaeine followed behind. Sakura looked at them.
"Be careful!" Sakura yelled. Sasuke softly laughed. Naruto and Hinata stood up.
"We'll go watch after them. Bye Sakura-chan! Sasuke-teme!" He said while walking out the door. Hinata smiled before following. Sakura started cleaning the dishes. Sasuke put Shinshia down in a high chair before walking over to Sakura and hugging her from behind. Sakura smiled and relaxed at his touch.
"I love you…" He said while kissing her cheek.
"I love you too…"
Sakura opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. Naruto and Sasuke noticed her wake up.
"Sakura-chan!!!" He yelled. Sakura cringed at his loudness. Sasuke rolled his eyes and hit him on his head.
"Dobe… shut up." Sasuke said. Naruto rubbed his head.
"ITAI!!" Naruto yelled. Sakura sat up. Sasuke sat on the bed and looked at her.
"Sakura, are you ok?" He asked. She smiled.
"Perfect…"
