Hi everybody,

This is my first fan fic, so please review and tell me what you think, If you think, its crap, then please say so in a gentle manner, and please tell me how I could improve it!

This story will probably remain a one-shot, unless someone asks me to carry on. I don't want to keep writing it, if no one wants to read it, but I have some ideas if you do!

Anyway I hope you enjoy it!

Please note: Sakura is now 22, and Sasuke did go to Orochimaru, but returned when he was 15, repentant for what he did!

Disclaimer: I don't own Itachi sniff sniff or anyone else for that matter! I only own my tabby cat Mikomi:P

"Thoughts"

Memory / flashback

"speech"

Sakura walked along slowly, a bundle of cherry blossoms in her hand, not noticing a pair of eyes had caught sight of her, a few moments before and were following her every move.

The man up in the tree watched as the pink haired kunoichi, knelt down in front of the memorial. Laying the blossoms down she leaned forward to run her fingers over a name. The man in the tree's eyes, widened in surprise, as he copied the letters she was tracing with his Sharingan.

"Uchiha Sasuke."

The man sighed, finally remembering where he had seen the pink haired kunoichi before. He had fallen in love with this cherry blossom, years before, but had lost track of her moves five years ago. She had captured his heart with her hair, her soft smile, and kindness, and without her even knowing his feelings.

Her sudden movement, standing up caught his eye, and he decided to follow her.

Sakura stood up moving back towards her house. She took the back way, preferring not to take the route through Konoha, but to go round it, there by avoiding having to talk with anyone.

Passing by a field filled with flowers, one side of her mouth turned up in a small smile, at the memory.

Sakura ran laughing happily, and tossing her hair put of her face. Having run out of Chakra, they had made a mutual agreement for both of them to go without using any. A warm hand caught one of her own, stopping her, and pulling her round to face him. Sakura stumbled as she turned, pulling both of them to the floor. Sasuke used his chakra, to protect them as they fell, so that neither of them would be hurt. Sakura lay on her back looking into his dark eyes.

"I caught you." He said quietly.

They had been going out now secretly for the past year, not wanting to make the relationship public, as Sasuke's fan girls would have given Sakura a hard time. Both were content with each other, and both of their seventeenth birthdays had passed, Sasuke's having been only a few days before.

Sasuke reached out to stroke Sakura's cheek as she lay on her back, with him partially on top of her. Sasuke revelled in the joy the small action brought him. Long ago had he stopped being the ice cube he had been, and opened up to her, and though he would never admit it, there was nothing he liked more, then to be with her, and touch the soft skin on her cheek, or run his fingers through her silky hair.

Sakura had closed her eyes, but re opened them when she felt Sasuke's hand draw away from her cheek, and his voice softly call out her name.

"Sakura" the kunoichi looked at him inquiringly cocking her head to one side. Sasuke swallowed before speaking again. "……How does Uchiha Sakura sound to you?"

Sakura stared at him gobschocked for a moment, scaring Sasuke into thinking that maybe he had maid the wrong decision to ask her to marry him, but he then shook his head. He loved her and would give the world to make her happy. Whatever she decided he would not contradict her decision.

Sakura looked at him, and Sasuke saw tears welling up in her eyes, before she threw her arms around him, toppling him over.

"Yes, I love the way it sounds."

Sakura realised she was outside her door, and let herself in, remembering when her husband had still been alive.

Sakura stumbled backwards, into the Uchiha Mansions door, where she lived startled by the figure that appeared suddenly before her.

Itachi advanced towards her, taking her chin into his fingers.

"Do you remember me blossom?" he asked in his low voice.

Sakura looked away.

"How could I forget. You find me, steal me of my virginity when I was completely drunk, and then I find out you're the person who made my husband's life a misery, until we married."

Itachi nodded.

"Yes I see you remember me. Do you still remember that night? I have never forgiven my brother for being the one to have you in is bed every night. My condolences by the way, how did the squirt die?"

Sakura pushed him away, as tears began to roll down her cheeks.

"I have no reason to tell you, but it can't hurt you to know. We were returning from a quick expedition to one of the town's bordering villages, when we were attacked by Orochimaru and Kabuto. They tried to kill me to try and somehow use it to make him return to them, but Sasuke ruined their plans, and died after he finished killing them both."

"you must have been very special to him for him to give his life, just like that."

Sakura snorted.

"Apart from the fact that I am his wife, and we were expecting our first children." she said sarcastically, before her voice saddened visibly. " I was 7 months pregnant with twins."

Once more the tears began to build behind her eyes.

"I lost them, all three of them that day."

Itachi advanced towards her, and forced her to look into his Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, picking her up, and carrying her bridal style from the house as she had fallen asleep in his arms.

Itachi sighed as he carried her.

You were not careful little brother, and I feel it is my duty to make sure our Uchiha black blossom blooms once again. Yes, you have lost her, and I will now make her mine as she should have been from the start.

I hope you have all enjoyed it, and as I said before please review, and say if you wish for me to carry on.

Also I just want to say sorry for any grammatical, or punctuation mistakes, I am writing this late at night, and don't have a Beta!

Sayonara!
