Act 1 Scene 4: Mischief and Mayhem
The forest had awoken as the bashful girl followed the path further into the woods, Light barely making it through the canopy of trees and vines narrowing the path ahead the young girl sat upon a tree root and gazed about in wonderment still remaining oblivious to the eyes watching her closely.
Growing board the boy in the trees turned to the entrance of the woods and smiled, what dares follow these two lovers into the wood? The boy thought as he followed his ears. His grin turned into an ear-to-ear smirk. And what has entered, but another set of idiot lovers, how stupid are people now a days? The boy sat in the crook of two branches of an oak tree and watched with glee as a pink haired woman bickered with a black haired man.

Sakura was thrown into a tree by the young Uchiha, his eyes ablaze and his anger bleeding into the aura about him. "You can't marry Naruto, he is too stupid for you!" He snarled at the equally infuriated Nin.
"Too stupid? Is that the best argument you have Sasuke, I don't see how this is any of your concern. You're the one who left," Sakura snapped and pushed him back, she pressed him into the tree opposite hers and prodded his chest with vigor, "you're also the one who said 'you are nothing but an insolent girl suffering from lust and ignorance.' Also," she poked him again, this time hard enough to make him wince, "you're the one who said you never wanted anything to do with me. So you coming back to marry me is such horse shit!" Sakura spun on her heel and began her voyage to meet up with Naruto.
Sasuke was stunned; I didn't think she would remember all of that… He thought in despair still, can't she see I've changed? He darted after her; she still wouldn't turn to him. He stopped and yelled after her. "Sakura, I have seen my errors, please love me again as you claimed to have done once. Please, I-" he choked, knowing that he never thought he would say this, especially to her, "I love you!"
Her heart stopped, the inner her died, and tears slowly began to leak down her peach skin. Sakura turned slowly to him. "Your too late Sasuke, my mind is made up, I will marry Naruto, and there is nothing you can ever say to change that. If I had a knife I would cut out your heart." She growled, her tears hot streaks down her cheeks and her anger rising, "You put me through to much to ever love you again. Uchiha Sasuke, I hate you." She spun about and ran deeper into the woods.
The wind ran through the watcher's hair and his smile fell, he felt sorry for the man. "Poor cold boy, how could you be such a fool, I do suppose love makes fools of us all." His black lined eyes squinted as he turned from the man and followed the girl the woods, passing her to chase the other black haired beauty.

She had gotten on her bicycle and pedaled hard, her beautiful white summer dress flowing behind her, hair flying in the breeze. Once she saw the boy she slowed and dismounted. Hinata ran to catch up with her golden haired wonder, the stalker close by, in the cloak of a willow tree. She caught up with Naruto and stretched a shaky hand forth, catching the crook of his arm. He nearly jumped in surprise. He turned with a smile that soon turned into a frown once he noticed who it was. "And what the hell do you want?"
Again, Hinata wouldn't let these words discourage her. "Naruto please listen to me. I love you and want nothing more than you to be happy but-"
She hadn't gotten the chance to finish when Naruto snapped, "Good then leave me the fuck alone!"
Naruto shook his head and turned to walk away, but Hinata had grown tired of him acting like a two year old and whipped him about to face her. "Naruto, you are twenty-two not two years old itself," shocked by her straight forwardness and rudeness, he was to intrigued to leave her there so he listened. "I do love you and have for a very long time, first it was lust I'll give you that but it has changed into love. Now that I have your undivided attention I need to tell you about why Sakura went out with you."
That is when Naruto got annoyed. She's just trying to break us up the bitch. "She's only with you because Sasuke left you were her last resort." Hinata thought he was actually listening to her, instead he slapped her, she stumbled back holding her cheek, tears running down her cheeks.
His blue eyes turned red with fury spilling from them he snarled to the crying girl, "DON'T!" He softened his voice and his eyes returned to their normal sky blue, "Ever say that again Hinata, I'm sorry…" He couldn't bring himself to apologize for what he did, guilt of his action took him over and he dashed off, he was so confused. Could that really be true? He wondered as he ran to the clearing where he intended Sakura to meet him.
Fierce tears ran down her cheeks, Hinata was very confused. "What have I done…" she said sadly to a thought to be empty forest, unknowing of her audience. Fighting more tears she sighed and went to her bicycle, hope flooded her though. "I shall never give up Naruto, love will not let me." She sighed and broke down next to her bicycle, letting it fall over she sobbed, "Damn my loving you Naruto, but I wont let you get hurt by that vixen!"
The boy concealed in the tree's long vines took a breath and sighed," Love is a damn-able thing, or at least it should be." A man crept closer to the other side of the tassel haired lurker and promised to the crying angle. "Don't worry little lamb," he cooed gently, "your Love will come and your pain will cease."
Black eyes darted to the new man next to him. "Itachi?" He whispered in apparent shock. Itachi smiled at the pale god before him. "In the flesh," he retorted with a smile, "You seemed stunned to see me Gaara."
Gaara looked up at the older Uchiha with a look of awe, "What are you doing here?"
Itachi smiled and indulged his auburn haired companion. "To set things as they should be and not as they are. To redeem myself in a way." He smirked.
He cocked an eyebrow-less arc up in suspicion, he put a hand to Itachi's head and quarried, "who are you and what have you done with the murderous psycho Uchiha Itachi?"
Laughing softly he pushed away Gaara's hand and with his free one patted his companion on the head. "Don't worry he is still there, but his murdering days are over, the days of long redemption and renewed life are beginning. I have to claim something that I have longed wish to have." Itachi whispered.
Turning away from the crying lady he beckoned the fairy like boy to come to his side. Itachi leading the way he led Gaara to the grove where the sleeping donkey lay. "See that?" He questioned his eyebrow-less minion.
"Uh yeah," he paused, "hey isn't that, that old pervert fart Kakashi?" Gaara laughed and stepped closer. "Holy fuck it is, what the hell did you do to him?"
Itachi laughed at his servant's assessment. "I didn't do anything, he drank from the fountain of Puck and got what he deserved."
Gaara just looked at Itachi, his cold black eye surveying him, "And what exactly is it you would like me to do Itachi? I know you are up to something…"
"I thought you would never ask." He smirked. Itachi was about to speak when a handsome man with a scar across the bridge of his nose and his brown hair was let down from it's usual pony tail. Itachi smiled as he saw the youthful sensei approach them. Gaara readied to fight and Itachi placed a hand on his shoulder, he let up. "Iruka."
Gaara looked to the ground and was astonished to see where the old pervert laid unconscious was nowhere to be seen. Iruka stepped closer, Itachi smile softened, "it truly is a pleasant surprise."
To Be Continued!
