Chapter 2

Hey! I'm back! Okay, I sort of got tired of waiting for all of your reviews and since I was really impatient, I started writing this story before my eyebrows started twitching….seriously, I think it's unhealthy if you have twitching body parts, but anyways…ON WITH THE FIC!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, there would be more episodes focussed on Sasusaku, Nejiten, and Gaara. (sorry, to all you anti-gaara fans, but I love my sandman!)

------------------------------------------------

"WHAT!" Sasuke and Sakura began to have another fit of the twitching eyebrows, along with other parts of their anatomy. Tsunade, being the sake-obsessed Hokage she is (that's a good thing, all you Tsunade fans out there…), started getting really pissed. And you DON'T want to see her mad…especially around sake time…

So, while Tsunade was trying to control her temper, Sasuke and Sakura were getting over their Moment of the Twitching Body Parts and getting ready to say Unmentionable Words. Sakura started speaking first.

"Why the (beep) would we want to help out that (beep) Itachi?" (you can insert your own special words where the "beeps" are –the beeps are just there so the rating will not change for this fic XD)

Tsunade, finally gaining control of her temper, was watching Sasuke strangely (because he looked like a retarded duck at the moment). Then she answered.

"It seems as if Itachi has lost his memory, but we do not know why yet (giggles at the sight of the Sasuke-chicken/duck)…"

"So what do you want us to do about it?" Sasuke had finally regained his composure after reminding himself that no Uchiha had ever impersonated a duck/chicken and he was not about to be the first to do so.

"Well…I want you to be friends with him and to introduce him to the society NICELY. Also, he will be living in a cabin I have just bought along with the two of you. This can be interpreted as an A-class mission, if you want to put it that way. Your mission is to be nice to Itachi and have him make friends with the ninjas. Hopefully, he will not go back to his old ways after this mission is completed."

Sasuke and Sakura nodded, although they did not know what to expect of this "new" Itachi without his memory. Sakura, wanting more details, asked,

"So, we can't say anything about the massacre of the Uchiha clan? And does he have TEMPORARY amnesia –not permanent? And what happens if he regains his memories?"

Tsunade sighed. This was going to take longer than she expected and she really needed that sake NOW.

"To answer your questions, Sakura, you may speak of the Uchiha clan and the massacre but do NOT say anything about him being the cause. It seems that his amnesia might last up to more than a year or might be permanent. We do not know right now yet. If, however, he starts regaining his memories, it will not be sudden. He will regain them bit by bit and you two can help him along with that."

Sakura nodded, having understood the full situation.

Tsunade looked at Sasuke (and tried not to picture him as a chicken or a duck…sorry Sasuke fans, I am a BIG supporter of Sasuke, but in this fanfic, he will be made fun of a lot in THIS CHAPTER ONLY because I feel he deserves it after siding with Orochimaru…seriously, what is up with Oro and eyeliner?).

"Sasuke, that goes especially for you. The reason you're not handling this alone is because I do not want you to say anything accidental about the Uchiha clan or if you lose your temper, I do not want you to say anything we might all regret. That's why you're helping him, Sakura."
Tsunade faced the two ninjas.

"Look, both of you. This is a really important mission. If Itachi can regain his memories and still be on our side, then he can help all of Konoha and the other Hidden Villages with his information on the Akatsuki (did I spell that right?). This mission rests on both of your shoulders and I expect it to be a success. Got it?"

"Hai!" Sasuke and Sakura replied, not wanting to be the target of Tsunade's sake-deprived rants.

"Also, you might notice that Itachi has become younger too. At this stage, he is around your age, if not a couple of months older. Do not be shocked at this or start looking like dead animals/poultry, got it? Sasuke?"

Sasuke nodded, angry at himself for being compared to dead animals.

"Now, let's go up and meet him."

Sakura and Sasuke walked up the stairs, preparing themselves to be surprised by Itachi's behavior. Tsunade, expecting this, warned them,

"Look, he might seem a little … how do I say this? He might seem a little childish, but please make him feel comfortable. It is essential to the mission, got it?"

"Tsunade, it's okay. If we can handle Naruto and his ramen obsessions and cluelessness, I think we can handle this pretty well, right Sasuke?"

"Hn.."

Tsunade started. "Sasuke, you have to become more open from now on, for your attitude may affect Itachi's and he may become evil again. Therefore, as part of the mission, you have to speak in FULL length sentences and become more friendly with everyone from now on, got it? The mission is one of the most important ones right now. Do not mess this up."

Sasuke looked up, surprised, and began having an internal debate with his Inner.

------------------

A/N: If you want to read Sasuke's debate with his Inner, you MUST read this IMPORTANT note...basically, since some of you don't pay attention to the author's notes at the bottom, I'm putting part of it in the middle, so HA! Here is my author's note:

Seriously, if I don't get at least 8 reviews, I'm not going to update…unless I feel bored, which will probably be in a couple of days…however, I might get tired waiting though and start updating, but reviews would really help this fanfic MOVE ALONG so any critcism, support, or comments would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! (I already have a couple of ideas in store for Itachi and Sasuke….just think about …um…bathroom raids and feminine hygiene, got it? If you want me to update sooner so I can make you crack up, REVIEW! (thank you, thank you, for those who have read this far)

(recap before the a/n)

Tsunade started. "Sasuke, you have to become more open from now on, for your attitude may affect Itachi's and he may become evil again. Therefore, as part of the mission, you have to speak in FULL length sentences and become more friendly with everyone from now on, got it? The mission is one of the most important ones right now. Do not mess this up."

Sasuke looked up, surprised, and began having an internal debate with his Inner.

(end recap)

-------------------------

YES! Now we can seduce Sakura and peek into her rooms and do whatever we want without being suspected! We can just say that we're doing the mission! (does a victory dance)

If you keep acting like that, I'll act so bad I'll even embarrass you, which includes acting like Naruto, having Jiraiya's habits, and reading the Itcha Itcha Paradise books like Kakashi, not to mention stutter whenever Sakura is around like Hinata, got it?

Fine, but I think I like the idea of acting like Jiraiya and Kakashi…

That's not what I meant and STOP GIGGLING! It's very Un-Uchiha-like….(is that a word?)

You know, you're just so annoying…

And you're not? Now go away, I don't want anyone staring at me…seriously, this is technically a one-sided conversation, you know.

Whatever…you know where to look if you need help…oh yeah, the great UCHIHA SASUKE DOES NOT NEED HELP! (starts vanishing)

Shut up…you're getting on my nerves…

Sasuke snapped out of it, and found Sakura staring weirdly at him. In return, Sasuke glared at her, putting all his pent-up frustration into their little mini-staring contest. Of course, being the GREAT UCHIHA SASUKE, he lost, and Sakura looked away triumphantly. Finally, they reached the Hokage's office…and Tsunade opened the door.

They were greeted with the sight of a tall dark and handsome hottie (according to Sakura), who could also be evil, crazy, and stupid (according to Sasuke). (that's for all you Itachi and anti-Itachi fans out there!)

"Hey, Tsunade!" the former evil but still hot guy called over to the Hokage, The formerly evil but still hot guy a.k.a. Itachi looked at Sasuke disdainfully but grinned once he met Sakura's gaze. Sakura felt herself blush.

Itachi continued, "I thought I told you that I hated chicken and duck, but I guess bubblegum sounds nice!"

--------------------------------

So what do you think? I had a lot of fun typing this chapter because I got to make fun of Sasuke so much. (muahahahahaha!) It's not that I hate him, it's just that this chapter is payback for becoming evil and making Sakura suffer. My favorite part is at the end, when Itachi refers to Sasuke as the chicken/duck (I couldn't make up my mind of which bird resembled Sasuke more..tee hee!) and Sakura as bubblegum…anyways, REVIEW! Seriously, if I don't get at least 8 reviews, I'm not going to update…unless I feel bored, which will probably be in a couple of days…however, I might get tired waiting though and start updating, but reviews would really help this fanfic MOVE ALONG so any critcism, support, or comments would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
