A.N.: Thanks for all the nice reviews! Love ya all! bows and gives flying kisses!

Disclaimer: Like I said, I do not own Naruto. If I did, would I bother writing a fan fiction?

Sakura lay on her bed, at last, relieved that everything was now fine. However, she knew it was just temporary. Soon, maybe she would be awakened by Itachi or some other troubles.

'Now I know what Shikamaru feels. Life is so troublesome.'

'Yeah, life is troublesome. But to Shikamaru, everything is troublesome to him.'

She started stripping her clothes off (Sakura fan boys, DROOL!) and covered herself with a towel. She prayed and hoped that Itachi won't barge in tonight, because she desperately needed some time to rest. When the tub was already filled with water, she placed some rose scented liquid soap in it.

After her bath, she smelled richly of roses. She changed into her PJ's and went to bed. She glanced at the picture of team seven at her bed side table, smiled and dozed off to sleep.

Sakura was walking in a cherry blossom filled area and she had no idea where she was heading. But she felt she knew where she wants to go, until someone called her by her name.

"Sakura! Sakura!" a gentle feminine voice called upon her as Sakura turned her head.

There was a woman, with shoulder's length straight midnight black colored hair and onyx eyes. She looked oddly familiar. She was wearing a black t-shirt and a tan colored flowing skirt that reached below her knees. She was really beautiful, and Sakura even admitted it. But she doesn't know who the woman is.

"Um…" Sakura said as she stood in front of her. She turned around and saw the familiar fan symbol at the back of her t-shirt. When the woman turned around again, Sakura had her jaw dropped.

"Mrs. U-Uchiha?" She said, her voice almost drifting away with the wind. Mrs. Uchiha beamed at her and Sakura felt that there was warmth around her smile.

"Hello Sakura. Nice to meet you." She said.

"Um—Nice t-to meet you too." Sakura said, bowing her head a little. Sakura wondered why the hell she was dreaming of Sasuke's mother. Heck, she hasn't even met her! She was dead!

"Am… I dead?" Sakura asked out of the blue. Mrs. Uchiha chuckled. Now she knew where Sasuke's good looks came from. She wondered if his father was as handsome as his two sons.

'Wait, did I just say TWO sons? Itachi isn't that good looking…! Well… he's hot and… aah! What the hell am I thinking!'

"No, silly. I'm just here visiting you on your dream. You see, I have something to give you and I need your help." Mrs. Uchiha replied.

"Help? Is it about Itachi and Sasuke?" She asked as Mrs. Uchiha nodded.

"First of all, I want to apologize for my older son's actions. I know he's been troubling you. And about Sasuke, if I visit him instead, he would go depressed."

"I understand." Sakura said.

"Well, I can see he's been a lot of trouble lately. Joining that snake man and everything." Mrs. Uchiha looked disappointed.

"And with him going through that awful tactical interrogation. I can't take it seeing my son in pain." She added.

"He just wants to take vengeance over what Itachi did to all of you." Sakura said. Mrs. Uchiha nodded.

"But could you please tell him to abandon that thing? I mean, the rebuilding of the clan is really okay but I can't think that both of my sons are killing each other. I have already forgiven Itachi about what happened."

"But he can't do that. He said he has a life of an avenger and even I can't stop him."

"Yes, you can. Tell him that he should abandon that because someday, Itachi would stop this insanity and his conscience would take over him. He would kill himself."

"What!"

"Yes. I cried because of that, but his father and I need to talk to him."

"How can I tell him that? That his mother went into my dream? He won't believe me!"

"Yes he would. Sasuke trusts you because he giggles loves you so much. He cries every night thinking about you and his loss of us."

"He also cries for… me?"

"Yes, he does. I never thought someone would melt my son's coldness. He gets hurt when he hears that you hate him more than your own life, though he never admits it."

'And here I am feeling all guilty.'

"Yes, Sasuke is not the one who admits any kind of weakness."

"His weak ness is you, Sakura. It's time for him to break out from his sorrow. I really need for you to do this favor Sakura, and I will treasure it." Mrs. Uchiha held both of her hands. Sakura looked down.

"I don't think I can…"

"Please? With sugar on top!" Mrs. Uchiha asked sweetly. Sakura chuckled. How can she refuse?

"Ok Mrs. Uchiha. I won't promise but I'll do try my best." She said.

Mrs. Uchiha hugged her in happiness and then when she released, she detached a maroon choker (ribbon) with a circular pendant hanging at the middle. It was a white colored gem and inside, she could see the Uchiha symbol. (A.N.: Just imagine, I can't describe it.)

"This is the Uchiha crest."

"What!" Sakura said, as Mrs. Uchiha handed the choker to her hand.

"But Mrs. Uchiha!" Sakura said, unable to believe that it was on her hands.

"I am now giving it to you."

"But… why?" Sakura asked.

"You have a job that needs a huge amount of chakra. Being a medic nin and an ANBU is no joke. You may have perfect control over your chakra, but I know it's not enough. This crest will give you my chakra and blend it into yours. Thus, it doubles up your chakra intent."

"Really? It's like having you inside of me."

"Yes, something like that. And, it protects you from any harm. When someone around you attacks you, it creates a red barrier. It's my soul, protecting you. In that way, you may feel relaxed even though my son, Itachi is around."

Sakura was speechless. It was a while until she found her voice.

"Wow Mrs. Uchiha, I—I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything my dear. As long as you do my favor, I will protect you like my real daughter."

"But—Why didn't you give this crest to Sasuke to protect him?"

"This crest is only given to the female members of the Uchiha clan."

"But I'm not a member of your family yet!" Sakura said. The surroundings started to darken.

"Oops! Gotta go Sakura! My time is up!"

"Wait! Mrs. Uchiha!"

Sakura shot up from her bed, sweating as she glanced at her clock. It was 4:45 AM already as she placed a hand on her head. She realized there was something on her hand.

The Uchiha crest.
