Chapter 4

Sakura absentmindedly picked up a tomato. She was shopping for food at the market, her thoughts muddled with her love, Sasuke. Tomatoes… she started at the red round ball in her hand; one of the few things he ever liked. She put it down, her fingers lingering over the fruit, as if to draw out the feeling that she longed for Sasuke.

"Did you hear? One of the Uchiha's were found in the river yesterday!" One girl spoke in the next booth over, making Sakura's eyes widen.

"No really??!!" The second girl asked, shocked.

"The police say it could have been murder…" Her voice now lowered to conceal the rest of their conversation.

Itachi…

"Now miss are you ready to buy some-" The seller turned back to the pink haired woman.

But she was gone.

"Itachi!" Sakura gasped quietly. He stood solemn. His coal eyes gazed down at the confused and a little frightened kunoichi. Lifting his hand, he grazed his fingers over her smooth porcelain cheeks. Night had fallen and the moon was high.. It was almost a full moon. The moonlight played over her skin like a lover.

It would be all for her…

"Itachi?" This time the voice was softer and awoke him out of his stupor.

"Hn."

"I heard about Shisui Uchiha. I'm sorry." She gazed up at him with her green doe eyes, waiting for his next movement.

"Me too." He whispered back. Again, he played with her hair, picking up the loose strands and letting it fall between his fingers.

"What's wrong? Itachi, I.." His index finger stopped her lips.

"Do you care for me?" He asked. His clan never cared about him, only about being the best. They despised and hated him.

Her mind was reeling. Did she care about him? Sure she had been in this time for a short period, but spending days together had an affect on her mind. He stared strongly back into her beautiful orbs, her face was full of shock and her lips parted slightly.

Suddenly impatience and a small tinge of anger stole upon him and he gripped her chin tightly.

"I asked you a question. Look at me!" Itachi finished with a yell.

Tears were streaming down her cheeks. She gasped, gazing beyond him to a figure standing behind them. Her eyes became calm, loving, and her body relaxed. Itachi noticed this, snapping his head around, his red eyes blazing.

"Ni-Ni-san?" His little brother spoke with a shaky voice. What was he doing with Amarante? Why was he being so rough with her? Did it have to do with Shisui committing suicide? Thoughts were racing through his little mind.

Itachi's head turned back to look upon the pretty face. Then he saw it all. The love in her eyes, it wasn't for him, but for Sasuke. Confused, hurt, and angry he jerked her face up to his. Giving her a bruising kiss, at the same time probing her mind. Memories of Team seven raced across his vision. Her constant and unyielding love of the stoic and genius ninja, Sasuke Uchiha. He saw her constantly beating up a yellow haired boy and then her growth; learning under the legendary kunoichi, Tsunade.

But he didn't see himself in her world. Why wasn't he? She was apart of his world. He pulled his lips away, she gasped for breathe and fell to her knees. He looked down disgusted at the pink haired girl. He saw the way she got to his time. He knew she wasn't from his time. Itachi also knew Amarante was the grown up form of the little Sakura. Who chased after Sasuke fervently.

"I see it clearly now." His eyes now filled with hatred.

"Itachi-please.." He turned away from her. He'd do it. He would show her how ruthless he could be. She would be his… in time. He took slow steps toward his frightened and confused little brother.

"Foolish… little… brother." He raised his hand to land a blow.

Sakura jumped between them. Itachi's face turned steeley and cold. He coolly lowered his hand and spoke to her very slowly.

"Move."

"No…" Tears still trickled down her face to drip off her chin.

He shoved her away. She landed on the ground hard. He let out a malicious laugh and looked at Sakura.

"You… love him?" He indicated by a slight jerk of the head at Sasuke.

"…" She stayed silent, eyes cast down.

He snarled at her silence and jerked her up roughly and shook her. She would feel her teeth rattle.

"Ni-san, stop!" He heard his brother faintly calling him in the background.

"Im-so sorry." She sobbed out, exploding into sparkling fragments.

Itachi gripped his fists as if to catch her when he knew deep down, she went back to her time. He turned and advanced on his little brother. His eyes narrowed. He'd make Sasuke despise her for all time. Never to love her or care for her in any way. His sharingan started to spin, his brother caught hopelessly in the darkness.

A gong rung in the distance and she felt herself being hurled forward to land hard on the floor in Tsunade's office. Where she had disappeared. Tsunade was holding a hand sized bell with silver tassels on the end. She looked down at her student. She could tell she had been crying.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto was by her side, frantically trying to help her in some way.

"N-Naruto.." She answered dazed, then bolted upright.

"Sakura-chan, you look horrible." She brushed off the comment but asked him in a loud voice.

"Is the Sasuke here??!!" A cold chill went down her spine. What happened to Sasuke? Did Itachi kill him?? Her chest rose and fell in harsh breaths as she waited for his response.

"Sakura-chan.." Naruto's blue eyes lowered in confusion, "Sasuke's with Orochimaru."

Her body relaxed for a moment. Then a sharp clear message entered her mind. The Uchiha clan was still murdered by Itachi and Sasuke was gone. Nothing had changed… She gasped. Was she the cause of Sasuke's suffering? Was she the cause of the downfall of the Uchiha clan?

"Sakura-chan." Naruto gently spoke.

All she could do was cry.

Three Weeks Later

"You wanted to see us?" Sakura bowed slightly in front of the fifth Hokage.

"Yes. Reports are coming in and they say Orochimaru has been killed and the one who killed him was Sasuke."

Sakura's eyes lightened with hope. Naruto let out a gleeful laugh.

"So Sasuke will come back??!!" He asked excitedly.

"No. He's fixated on killing his brother Itachi." Tsunade sat on her desk and looked in deep thought.

Sakura stiffened at his name. She could faintly hear Naruto's rebuttle of angry recognition.

"…. We need to find Itachi Uchiha!" Naruto spoke with determination.
