When Sasuke and Ino were both in the balcony, they saw two figures inside. Sasuke was sure that he felt Itachi's presence inside.

'Damn! What does he need Sakura for!'

"Ino, I want you to call on your whole team right away." Sasuke said, eyeing the taller figure. Ino stared at him.

"You're not an ANBU! Why would I take orders from—"

"Just do it for Sakura's sake dammit!" Sasuke hissed back. Ino glared at him as Sasuke glared back. He looked serious, so Ino just nodded and jumped off.

He opened the balcony doors (sliding doors) and entered the room. He was shocked on what he saw. Sakura was in a fighting stance, wrapped in a towel while soaking wet and Itachi was a few meters away from her, without his cloak.

"Ah, little brother. I see that you have returned from that snake." Itachi said, smirking. Sasuke could sense that Sakura was staring at him, so he looked at her. Sakura straightened up as both men stared at her.

'Uh-oh Sakura! You're in deep trouble! Both men wants you! Tug of war coming up!'

'Shut up. I'm thinking of a way out of here.'

"What do you want from Sakura you bastard!" Sasuke hissed, taking out kunais. This made Sakura smirk.

'Both of them are bastards.'

"My little brother… it's not just SAKURA. It's MY Sakura." Itachi said, as Sakura death glared him.

"Itachi you bastard. She's not yours!"

"And she's not also yours. That makes us equal." Itachi said back. Sasuke threw his bunch of kunais as Itachi threw a bunch of kunais as well to him. Soon, Sasuke performed the chidori. A vein popped out of Sakura's head.

"IF YOU TWO WANT TO DO THIS FIGHT, TAKE THIS MACHO CRAP OUT OF MY HOUSE! IF YOU TWO WOULD RUIN MY ONLY HOUSE, I SWEAR I WOULD KILL BOTH OF YOU WITHOUT HESITATION!"

She said that in one breath. Itachi and Sasuke stared at her.

"AND BOTH OF YOU STOP STARING AT ME! I AM ALREADY EMBARRASSED ENOUGH KNOWING THAT TWO MEN ALREADY SAW ME ALMOST NAKED!"

Itachi and Sasuke looked at each other. Itachi smirked as he grabbed his cloak.

"I'll see you again my cherry blossom. And next time, I would make sure you would be mine." He said and with a puff of smoke, he disappeared before Sakura could yell again. Sakura's team arrived.

'Talk about PERFECT timing.' Sakura and Sasuke thought sarcastically as Hinata looked around. Ino hugged her.

"Sakura! Are you okay! You look so pale!" Ino said, looking at her in arm's length. When Sakura looked across Ino, she saw that Sasuke already left.

"Ino, I am already pale. I am pale-skinned remember?" Sakura said, smiling at her best friend. She turned to Tenten and Hinata.

"I want you all to gather all ANBU members inside the headquarters in ten minutes. That's an order." Sakura said as the three nodded at her and with puffs of smoke, they were gone. Sakura placed her hand on her waist and sighed.

'I pity Sasuke's mother. She gave birth to two pathetic bastards.'

'Hey don't say that. If the Uchiha clan wasn't murdered, they wouldn't be bastards like what you think that they are right now.'

'Tch. Yeah right. Murdered or not murdered, still bastards. It won't change my mind.'

'You're so lucky thinking that the powerful and hot Uchiha Itachi is—'

'He's powerful but I don't think he's hot.'

'You don't. But another hundred girls think he is.'

'…'

'Uchiha Itachi and the cool and handsome no. 1 bachelor of Konoha, Uchiha Sasuke are both after you! Any girl would want to be in your place!'

'I'm a girl and I don't want to be in my place right now.'

'Are you sure you are?'

'What does THAT supposed to mean!'

'Oh nothing.'

Sakura groaned when she realized that she already wasted three precious minutes just talking to her stupid Inner Self.

'Hey! I'm not stupid!'

She changed into her ANBU uniform and she locked her house before jumping off from roof to roof towards the ANBU headquarters.

When she reached there, all ANBU's were inside the building, talking to each other, and the main topic was the certain predicament the Hokage told them recently.

"Sakura-chan! Have you heard that—"

"Baka, of course I have! Why would I come here?" Sakura replied to the blonde ninja.

"Everyone! Please listen!" Sakura yelled as everyone turned to her and kept quiet. She smiled behind her mask in satisfaction and placed her hand on her waist.

"Okay! We have fifteen groups all in all! Are all captains present!" Sakura said. Everyone looked at each other then nodded.

"Good." Sakura smirked.
