Why Do You Fight For Love?

Sorry for the long wait on the first chapter, but I've been completely dying cause of so much homework and other stuff with life -.-'. After a while, it's gets annoying…but anyways, let's just start the story!

Chapter 1: Only The Beginning

Is this the why I should have chosen to protect my village? How could she begin to doubt her own ninja way? Would Naruto approve of such a thing? Naruto…

"SAKURA-CHAN! HOW COULD YOU!? He's a missing-nin and he's trying to extract the Kyuubi from me! How could you love that monster?" Naruto screamed from pure horror with a look of distrust in the depths of his cerulean eyes.

Sakura closed her eyes, trying to stop Naruto's words from echoing in her mind. She flinched every time the words echoed into her mind.

"The Sakura-chan I knew would never even think of doing this. What happened to you…How could this happen…" Naruto's voice faded away along with his image.

"The old Sakura-chan is gone…she's…gone…" Sakura whispered softly, getting up from the bed, and walking into the bathroom. She locked the door, and stripped herself of clothing before getting into the shower. The warm water hitting her skin calmed her a little even as the Naruto's words from the dream still echoed.

Sakura closed her eyes, letting herself savor the warmth of the water pouring down onto her body. She quickly remembered about meeting Leader-sama, and turned off the shower. She shivered as she stepped out of the warm shower and onto the cold tiled floor.

Am I really following my ninja way? What ismy ninja way? Sakura blinked and paused as she began to get dressed. She realized she couldn't answer that question. "I don't even know my own ninja way…What kind of shinobi am I?" Sakura finished getting dressed and placed her leaf headband on, and tightened it.

Sakura exited the bathroom, and walked across to desk next to the nightstand of the bed. She quickly grabbed her weapons holster and pouch, before strapping them on. The pink haired kunoichi finally walked over to the door to the hallway and opened it before stepping out into the hallway.
Itachi lazily leaned against the wall across from the door to their hotel room, waiting for Sakura to join him so they could leave to meet Leader-sama. He resisted the urge to sigh as he became lost in his thoughts. He often wondered what his weaknesses were, and, obviously, Sakura was becoming one.

He was not thinking clearly, when he had asked her to stay with him. What was he thinking? She was supposed to be the Akatsuki medic, and nothing more to him. Could I… He pushed the thought aside as he heard the door open. Sakura stepped out, and closed the door behind her.

"Ready to leave?" Sakura asked, looking up at him. Itachi simply nodded and started walking down the hallway towards the wooden door that led outside. He swiftly exited the building, not waiting to see if Sakura was following or not.

Itachi gracefully walked into the forest, starting to pick up speed as he raced across the forest floor. He was aware of Sakura's gaze on him, but he chose to ignore it. She needed to start focusing on her missions, and especially, meeting Leader-sama. He felt a small twinge of worry about how Leader would react to her arrival in the Akatsuki. Itachi mentally shook his mind of such thoughts. The Akatsuki needed a great medic, and they just happened to find one.

"Itachi, what will Leader-sama do if I am not needed?" Sakura came close to voicing his thoughts. He noticed the small hint of worry and fear in her voice. He remained silent, carefully choosing his answer.

"Sakura, I'm not going to lie to you. You will most likely be killed if your skills are not needed by our organization." He heard her sigh, and he resisted the urge to turn his head to look at her. "Sakura, you knew exactly what kind of organization you were getting yourself into." Sakura sped up to run beside him and turned her head towards him.

She narrowed her eyes cautiously, gazing at him. "I knew exactlywhat I was getting into. If I didn't, I would be a fool. I chose my way, clearly knowing how this kind of life would be, and I do not regret it." She replied slightly irritated.

"Either way you would of chosen, you could've been killed. In this world, if you have not noticed, you have to survive to do anything." Itachi replied, emotionless. He was going to try to avoid his weakness, if nothing else. It would be safer for her if she were not attached to him. Even if it meant being separated from Sakura, it would ease one of the few problems that bothered him.

"I know that, Itachi. To be a shinobi, you must know all the risks and dangers you're going to face." Sakura simply stated, ignoring his gaze boring into her. "I wouldn't be here…if I never chose to be a shinobi." Itachi almost wished that were true. She would've have been safe, without ever having to meet him. They were so different, and from truly unlike worlds.

"Don't ever underestimate my decisions, Itachi. I know what I'm doing." Sakura spoke softly, just below a whisper. I shouldn't have to explain myself to him… After all the horrible things, he has done…

After their small conversation, the rest of the day was traveled in complete, utter silence. Maybe I am wrong… Maybe I joined the Akatsuki for nothing. It just could be a failed attempt to prevent something happening to our village and to Naruto. She had to promise herself something, and it would prove to be one of the most important vows of her life.

If she could not save the village, at least let her save Naruto. After all, she had been through; he had always been by her side, even if it was not the same thing for her. If it's the last thing I do, I'll be by Naruto's side in the end. I can at least hope to fulfill that promise. For all she knew, it could turn out the same way Naruto's promise of returning Sasuke turned out to be.

Unsuccessful.

Preview:

"Orochimaru, how exactly are we going to capture Itachi?" Kabuto asked curiously, following his master down the dark narrow hallway. Orochimaru simply smirked darkly, ignoring the pain in his arms.

"Everything starts in Konoha, Kabuto. It will just be a matter of time."
