Those words were from the reviews copied from letter to letter. Here is the next chapter. Enjoy!


Sakura jumped from tree to tree. She was behind the others. She preferred to be alone. After all, it isn't every day your dragged into being an ANBU. Her eyes were set into a glare. If looks could have killed Tsunade could be dead and Sakura would be a wanted nin. Sakura put on her mask. It was a fox mask. The fox had piercing red eyes.

"You can walk normally you know," Neji said. Sakura didn't pay attention to him. Her mind was in deep thought.

"You have to listen to him Sakura," Naruto said. Hinata and Ten-ten nodded. "He is the captain." Sakura jumped down. Her mask was still on.

"..." she had no comment. Her mind was still in deep thought. Neji wanted to snap her out of it. He took his kunai and charged towards her with it. Sakura didn't snap out of her thoughts. Just like reflexes she kicked the kunai out of his hand and put her own towards his neck.

"I still have a sense," she said. "I don't need to think to see." She put her kunai back in the pouch. He walked back to his position. 'She is strong.' he thought. Not even a smirk could be seen on his handsome face. He touched his muscular arm that held the kunai. 'She nearly twisted it.'

"Ha Ha!" Naruto laughed. "Neji nearly got his ass kicked. Neji glared at Naruto. His pearl eyes burnt right through him. Naruto winced. "Sorry," he said.

"Whatever," Neji said. Ten-ten walked up to him. She looked at his arm. It was already red. She nearly winced.

"That much damage already?" Ten-ten asked. "She hardly did anything." Neji put his arm down. Sakura walked up to him. She took his arm.

"Can't use it like that," she said. Hey! She was showing her respect right? She was talking just a bit more. Sakura pulled some chakra in her hand. She swiped her hand past Neji's.

"Nicely done Sakura," Hinata said. She looked at the arm. Her pearl eyes looked at the spot were it used to be red.

"..." No comment again. Neji finally put his arm down. He looked at his team. They were strong. Naruto was strong and had the kyuubi to match. Ten-ten was a weapon master. If they needed a weapon or info on one she could tell them. Hinata had the bakugen. Just like Neji himself she had a special bloodline. They were related no duh! Sakura on the other hand is a mystery. She doesn't have any bloodline. (Nor any special blood. I'm not using that idea from my other story!) She seemed to have a lot of chakra. Any one could tell. It's just good to know how much. She had a strange ability. It seemed to hard to realize. She was different. But how? That was what made her a mystery.

"Let's go," he said. The team continued to walk. Even Sakura. She was still in deep thought. Naruto looked at her. She was hard to read. 'Is she thinking about him?' he thought. Naruto shook his head. 'She would never. She hates him!'

"Are you alright Naruto?" Hinata asked. He looked at her and smiled.

"Just fine Hinata!" he said. She smiled. Hinata wasn't as shy as before now. That was thanks to Naruto of course.

"Less talking and more walking lovebirds!" Ten-ten teased. Hinata and Naruto blushed a bit. They hated it when Ten-ten teased them. They didn't have a come back until now...

"Speak for yourself Miss. Secret relationship!" Naruto yelled. Ten-ten blushed red. How the hell did he find out? Her mind snapped to one name.

"Neji!" she yelled angrily. "Why did you tell him about us?" Neji shrugged.

"I didn't," he said. "Besides, you might be a future Hyuuga (Don't know how to spell it. Can some one please tell me?) Later on." Ten-ten blushed even more. He smirked at her reaction.

"It wasn't him!" Naruto yelled. He looked at Hinata and she nodded. "We saw you two. Talk about privet security!" Ten-ten sighed. She just isn't allowed to date in public.

"Well excuse me for not wanting any thing in public!" she yelled. "Are you my mother or something!" Naruto's face turned a bit red from anger. Hinata giggled and Neji smirked. Sakura didn't say a single thing. Hinata looked at Sakura. She didn't seem uncomfortable with the 'couple' talk. Hinata knew of Sakura's love life. She knew that Sakura had never dated nor kissed any one except her parents before they left.

"I'm fine," Sakura said. Hinata looked at Sakura. Sakura knew that Hinata was watching her. "I don't care. I have no need for love." Hinata frowned a bit. 'No need for love?' she thought. 'Is this why she never dates any one? Or is it because Sasuke broke her heart?'

"Are you alright Hinata?" Naruto asked. Hinata looked at him and nodded. She shook her head a bit. Her short bluish hair swished on and off her face.

"Just fine Naruto," she said. "Just thinking." Naruto looked up ahead. They were close. Talking does waste time doesn't it? Ten-ten looked up ahead.

"Are we close?" Neji asked. She nodded. At that moment Neji was focusing on the area they are in. You never know when attackers can attack.

"Just a little bit more," she said. Sakura jumped to a tree. 'Finally.' she thought. 'Payback for the pain Uchiha.'


Sasuke walked through a small forest. He really needed some fresh air. The whole night he couldn't sleep. He always had the same nightmare. The nightmare of Sakura dying because of Itachi. She had asked for it. That was what really troubled him.

"God damn nightmares," he said. Sasuke jumped up on a tree. He really needed to relax. Today was his day off. Sasuke knew that he couldn't concentrate during training. He sighed again. Sasuke stayed there on the tree for an hour.

"I need to train," he said. "But I can't concentrate." He punched the tree that was right next to him. It fell right into pieces. "Not strong enough." Sasuke got up. He jumped down and went towards his place. He opened the door and jumped on the bed. Sasuke closed his eyes for a moment. He felt his body sleep. He expected a nightmare. The same one he gets every night. It was different this time.


"Sasuke!" she cried out. Her eyes were filled with tears. She was battered and beaten. "Help!" Her body wouldn't get up. She just couldn't move.

"Help!" she yelled again. "Please." It was no use. Why wouldn't he help? She was in need of his help. She really needed him. Why? Sasuke couldn't move. He watched as she let out more tears.

"He won't help you," the attacker said. Who the hell could it be? Itachi of course. "Remember this." Itachi stepped on her body. She bit her lower lip to hold back the yell of pain. "He hates you with all his heart. Never would he help you."

"I know," she said. More tears escaped her eyes. She was going to die. "I know he hates me. I know I'm just a useless, annoying selfish little brat to him!" Sasuke couldn't say any thing. 'Stop!' his mind yelled. "I know he could never give a shit about me! I was the weak one in the team!"

"So why do you try?" Itachi asked. He pushed his foot harder on her back. Her lip began to bleed. She was holding out her yells.

"I love him," she said. "I know he never can. I just try. I know I will never be a friend to him and yet I still try." Sasuke felt some thing ping inside him. She love throughout all the time he rejected her and said she was annoying.

"Give up," Itachi said. "It will only pain you more." Sakura felt more tears come out.

"I can't," she said. "Either way, my pain is going to end right here for all times."

"Are you saying you want to die?" Itachi asked. Never had he seen some thing like this. All his victims would cry and plead to live. She on the other hand wanted to die. She was broken so much.

"Yes," she said. Her jade eyes were still full of tears. "There is too much pin. Please," she begged. "Kill me. I don't want to live any more." Itachi hesitated at first. He took out a kunai and stabbed her in the stomach. She didn't yell out at all. There wasn't going to be any pain any more.

"I have never seen any thing like this," Itachi said. He took out his kunai that was in her stomach. More blood began to pour out. She didn't scream again. "You are the first to beg for death. Now I know that you are truly broken." She coughed out some blood. Her eyes were dull.

"I'am," she said. "Why would I not ask to die?" she asked. "I could never kill myself. I didn't know why though. This is the opportunity I was waiting for." Itachi knelt down to her. He could tell that she doesn't smile at all.

"The opportunity to die?" he asked. She gave a small nod. Itachi stroked her hair. Sasuke watched with anger inside of himself. If only he could move. There was no jutsu. He just couldn't move. Itachi continued to stroke her pink hair.

"A death like this is rare," he said. "I never hesitate but you are a different story cherry blossom." Sakura felt something in her ping. No one had ever called her a cherry blossom. She had always wanted Sasuke to call her that.

"I can help you," he said. "I can keep you alive cherry blossom. I can help you. Is this what you want?" he asked. She gave a small nod.

"I don't want my heart soul," she said. "It is too much to bare." Itachi gave a nod. He picked her up.

"I will get rid of that," he said. "All you have to do is be with me." Sakura nodded. Itachi pulled her close. "My cherry blossom hold on." Itachi disappeared with Sakura. Sasuke stared wide eyed.

"She left," he said. "She is going to be with Itachi but with out her soul. She left me."


Sasuke woke up panting again. He stared at his bed for a moment. 'Sakura.' he thought. 'Have I broken you that much?' He got out of bed. He quickly opened the window.

"Have I broken you?" he asked. Sasuke walked to his bed. He repeated his dream in his head. "What have I done?" It was unexpected. He was lost in thought. He didn't notice until it was too late. He closed the window from the cool air. He walked back to the bed and sat down. He heard a crash. Sasuke's eyes widened. The figure jumped through the window.

"Sasuke Uchiha," the figure said. It was clear that the person was a woman. She pulled out a katana and held it to his throat. He didn't know how to react. "It is time for you toreturn. By force."
