Thanks again to my editor YufVin-Valentine for re-editing this for me

"Sakura, there is something we need to tell you." her dad said. Sakura looked at her parents, it had to be important, or else her father wouldn't have folded up the newspaper and looked at her.

"Well you see, 8 years ago I had a meeting with someone. That person was the head of the Uchiha clan to be precise. We organized something, but once the clan was wiped out, we had to go on with it." he stopped to take a breath and then looked at Sakura, whose curiosity was growing.

"I don't really know how to tell you this but, we had arranged your marriage for you." Sakura looked half shocked and half surprised, did her father organized her to marry Sasuke-kun? She was about to go into a fantasy of how romantic it was, but her father went on.

"When we where younger, we both said if either of us had a son or daughter, we would get them married. Later on, they had a son and we had you." Sakura almost leaped out of her chair yelling for joy, but yet again her father went on.

"You are to marry Uchiha-" but before he could go on Sakura jumped out of her chair and thought just wait 'til she can rub it into Ino-pig's face! She gets to marry Sasuke!

"Uchiha Itachi." he said picking up from where he was interrupted and Sakura fell silent. She was to marry Sasuke's evil brother, a murderer, someone that was more cold-hearted then Sasuke himself. What was she going to do? Her dreams were all shattered at that moment. He could kill her in an instant if he wanted to and she was to marry him. Sakura fell backwards from shock. She could tell no one about this.

NO ONE.

Later on that day, Sakura went to her party at the academy. She was extremely quiet for once. She tried as hard as she could to enjoy herself and forget what happened, but thoughts bombarded her mind. What if he knew and was looking for her to kill her? She was certain that he probably wouldn't even dream of marrying her. Ino walked over to Sakura.

"Big-forehead girl, what's on your mind? You look out of it. On another fantasy with MY Sasuke-kun that you know won't happen?" Ino said to her. She expected some rude comment to be shot back and they would fight over Sasuke again. To her surprise, that rude comment didn't come, instead it was replaced by a simple answer.

"No Ino-pig, I'm not thinking about Sasuke at all." Ino noticed how Sakura didn't add the '-kun' at the end. In fact, almost everyone noticed it. Sasuke thought that Sakura had finally clicked and realized she was weak or something and needed to train, or she didn't like him anymore, but what he didn't realize was the true reason why she was acting strange.

Naruto came over to Sakura "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAKURA-CHAN!" he yelled and gave her a big present. Sakura snapped out of thought from the sound of Naruto's voice yelling in her ear, she smiled and thanked him. Soon almost everyone was giving their presents to her. The party went by fast, and Sakura almost completely forgot about the thing with Itachi until she saw Sasuke. She didn't quite remember what Itachi looked like for she never really saw him in person, but she knew that he had to look like Sasuke because when she saw Sasuke, it reminded her of 'him'.

After the party was over, Sakura went home with a lot on her mind. Oh why did her parents have to tell her this before the party? Couldn't they have been kind and told her after?

Hinata was walking home with Naruto, Ino, Shikamaru, and others. They where discussing about Sakura's behaviour during the party.

"Something big has to be on Sakura-chan's mind, because I've never seen her so deep in thoughts." Naruto thought out loud with his hands behind his head.

"Yeah, something big. Everyone heard big-forehead girl called Sasuke-kun, just Sasuke." Ino said.

Hinata sort of just walked with them nodded and at the same time, blushing and fidgeting with her fingers because she was walking beside Naruto.

"What a big waste of time! Akamaru and I could have been running around." Kiba said obnoxiously and Akamaru barked, seconding that opinion.

"That was so troublesome." Shikamaru said.

"You find everything troublesome though." Ino added. The conversation went on like that until most of them had split up to different directions to go home.

"So how was your party Sakura?" her mom asked as Sakura came into the house and went straight to her room. She didn't even bother to answer. Her mom looked at her dad and they both thought the same thing, the news must still be bugging her.

Sakura walked up the stairs and opened her door then closed it after entering. She looked up from the ground to see someone standing by her window with their back to her. It was…
