Sakura Haruno was a very powerful and well respected kunoichi, with a fiery temper that many are scared of. At the age of 13, Sakura could already bring an entire mountain down with a single flick of her finger. Her teammates and constant companions are Naruto Uzamaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

Naruto looked at Sakura with love in his eyes as he watched her talk to Neji about some mission he had recently completed with his team. He glared at the white eyed Hyuuga as he smiled slightly at Sakura. The Kyuubi snarled inside Naruto as he saw what was happening through the boy's eyes. His feelings for the pink haired girl were possessive as he had watched her grow throughout the years. Sakura was like a daughter to him. Naruto grimaced as they continued talking and went back to his happy place...his ramen bowl.

Sasuke looked over at Naruto and then at Sakura. The pink haired girl was laughing and smiling at the Hyuuga, not even paying any attention to him. Sakura was HIS and no one, not even Naruto's or his overbearing brother's. Sasuke glared at his ramen bowl as he remembered the deal between his parents and her's. For some STUPID reason, they decided to arrange a marriage between Sakura and his brother, Itachi.

'Itachi doesn't deserve her,' he thought, 'He's always off on missions and never around her unlike me. Hn, at least I can get her to like me and not him, then maybe the deal will change to me and her.'

Sakura laughed as Neji described what happened to Lee as he accidently drained a WHOLE bottle of SAKE. She could barely breathe. Lee had always been a little out there, but never in her right mind, could she believe that he willingly raided Ino's closet and tried on every. Single. Dress.

Her laughter quieted down and she smiled at Neji. She knew that he wanted something more then friendship but she just couldn't give that to him. She was in love with Sasuke, even if the cold Uchiha didn't realize it. Her parents may have arranged a marriage with Uchiha Itachi but her heart belonged to his little brother, Sasuke.

"Sakura," A deep, soft voice whispered into her ear, "did you miss me?" Sakura spun around in shock as he faced her fiancee, Itachi. She raised an eyebrow as his infamous smirk crept it's way on his face.

"Can I help you Uchiha-San?" She asked coolly. Amusement sparkled in his eyes as he looked her over.

"Uchiha-San? Come now, Sakura, I thought we were closer then that." He chuckled, "Now, maybe we can talk somewhere more...private?" he looked over to Sasuke and Naruto.

"NO WAY BUDDY! IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO SAKURA-CHAN, THEN YOU CAN SAY IT IN FRONT OF US! HER TEAMMATES!" Naruto shouted as Sasuke nodded his head in agreement with him. Itachi raised a lone eyebrow and smirked.

"If you wish Naruto-San." Itachi said coolly. Slowly he turned Sakura's face towards his own stared into her eyes. "Seeing as how they won't let you go, I'll tell you now, Sa-ku-ra."

Sakura narrowed her eyes as he said her name slowly and deliberately. Naruto and Sasuke glared at the older Uchiha as stared into their team mate's eyes.

"I look forward to our future wedding," he whispered as his lips quickly descended upon hers. Sakura's eyes widened and slowly started to close. Her feelings for Sasuke draining to the back of her mind as Inner filled it with thoughts of Itachi.

"Get AWAY from HER!" Sasuke snarled as he pulled his brother away from the pink haired girl. Itachi chuckled slightly as he watched her dazed expression.

"I'll see you later, Sa-ku-ra-Chan." He said as he disappeared in a flock of black ravens.

"SAKURA-CHAN! ARE YOU OKAY?!" Naruto cried as he hugged Sakura.

"...I don't know, Naruto...I just don't know..." she responded, her gaze drifted slowly to where Itachi was standing a little while ago. Sasuke growled and stalked off as Naruto took Sakura home.
