Mikoto looked back from where she was standing. In front of her below was the scene that was now nothing.

"Inform me." Mikoto spoke softly.

"Men are surrounding the forest with guns and weapons." Itachi spoke up for the first time.

"And Hinata?"

"Her heath is ok and she is now almost fully conscious with a few bruises." Ino informed. She looked at Itachi, his cool and calm demeanor and how she was yelling inside, uncool and uncollected.

"I want to enter the forest, to see for any other clues." Ino stated. She wanted more answers, more adventure. She just wanted more.

"No."

"What?" Ino almost screamed.

"I want you back her and organizing the party. Itachi will do all the desired field work from now on." She turned to face the blond haired girl. "Thank you for your participation. I thank Hinata too." She paused. Ino's normally shiny blond hair was now almost grey from the dirt and dust of the explosion.

She had mild wounds and her skin had patches of black on her. Her clothes had the same dull effect. Mikoto noticed the adventure she was looking for in her eyes and smiled.

"Go and take a shower, make you a nice cup of tea and put your feet up. You deserved it." Mikoto turned around. "Ino, Hinata, you're off my service."

"But?!"

"Itachi is part of the Akatsuki and he's trained in these things. You're dismissed, Ino."

Ino stood there for a second. She, Hinata and Itachi were on an adventure and now she and Hinata were being kicked off just like that? No way!

"If Itachi or I find you or Hinata doing any investigation on your own, I will lock you up for trespassing of private property." Mikoto's words hit her hard.

"Fine." She said and disappeared behind the door. Mikoto waited a few seconds before she continued.

"What exactly do we really have?" She turned around and sat down, facing her eldest son. Itachi smirked.

"Sakura!" Charako whispered. "Sakura!"

"Here!" Sakura jumped out of the nearest tree. She held onto her side as she came near to him.

"You ok?" He examined her. "You're not ok!"

Charako lifted her hand off of her waist only to reveal a deep wound that was bleeding fast.

"What-"

"I managed to get away from the blast, but a piece of titanium caught me- this isn't important, what's out plan?"

"In exactly three nights from today Ino's throwing a party to celebrate an announcement Karen's going to make." Charako ripped his sleeve off and tied it around her waist.

"Good. Here's what we'll do..."

Karen walked into the Uchiha's ballroom. She immediately noticed the decorations being neatly but hastily put up. She noticed that the chefs were laying down different menus.

Karen picked up one and scanned it. She immediately put it back down, her face twisted in disgust. She scanned the large room again until she spotted Ino.

"Yes please. We want thee best champagne you have." She heard Ino order as she neared.

"Oh now." She said innocently. "Champagne isn't good for those with a stomach."

Ino turned and looked and 'Sakura's' stomach.

"We all have a stomach that can take champagne."

"I don't. Especially now that I'm carrying." Karen, placed her hand gently on her stomach.

Ino's eye's met the green contact lenses of Karen.

Karen smiled and turned to walk off. "Just thought to let you know." With that she stalked off.

Ino growled as she squashed an imaginary head. Then she had an idea and she smiled. That wasn't Sakura so she wasn't harming anybody in the process right?

She motioned for a maid to come over.

"Order me two bottles of water, then replace that water with clear alcohol. The strong kind." She ordered. If she couldn't get rid of this impostor, she'd definitely kill her unborn child- if not, she'll give it a weird disablity.

"What is the announcement?" Sakura asked as the moved slowly towards the border of the trees.

"I don't know, I only overheard that there'll be a big announcement which will force Sasuke into marrying her." Charako climbed up onto a low branch and helped her.

"Wow-" Sakura figured it out. "She's desperate."

"Inform?" Charako asked. He was confused as ever.

"She's going to tell Sasuke and all our friends she's pregnant." Sakura tightened the cloth and kept pressure on it.

"Where does our plan fit in?"

"We, Charako. We're going to spoil her announcement. Only this time, I'm going to put an end to her."

A/N: I am so, so, so sorry for thee late update! I have no excuses that are valid (Thrown with tomatoes and bananas and all the squishy things_ but the truth is I've been so busy lately I haven't even had time to go on twitter!
