Chapter 3: Alas a Long Awaited (Hopefully) Chapter!

Itachi paused to look Chira straight in the eye and he continued, "My little bro had a giant crush on you." He stated it simply. It was such a surprise to Chira that he held no emotion what so ever as he said those words. She gaped and whispered, "Are you serious? You're brother had a crush in your FIANCE? (which is me )" Itachi grinned and chuckled (nice guy act...), "Ah! It was amusing. He hated me forever for killing his family and whisking you away... But you love me all the same don't you?"

He smiled at her. It was that genuine-looking one that right now, made her feel oddly cold and warm inside at the same time. She giggled and hugged him.

"Who CAN'T love you?"

"...ah!"

Wow, what a conversation. Longest paragraph he ever said.

Chira closed her eyes and yawned... Storing all the information in that big brain of hers. Soon, her breath (breath/breathe/wtf...) became slow and steady as her soul drifted off to the lands of sleep.

Itachi carried Chira to the bed and tucked her in (o.o) before leaving the room. Walking outside the quiet Akatsuki Headquarters he slowly walked into the deeper and darker part of the forest. Choosing a tall oak tree, he disappeared and reappeared on a thick tree branch. His sharingan eyes looked toward the west, "Soon my idiotic brother... Soon... I'll break your soul..." Standing there, Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes as the very soul of the tree swallowed him up into the heartwood, where he, the all-powerful sharingan user was patient. He had to wait patienty... For his little brother to walk to his own doom... The last of the prestigious Uchiha clan.

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

Meanwhile, our handsome yet ice-burgy avenger and his baka soon-to-be-hokage friend where jumping in the less-dense area of a forest near the Akatsuki Headquarters.

Naruto, who had been silent the whole trip suddenly got this aweful feeling in the pit of his stomach. The consciousness of the feeling shook his whole body as he found it hard to breath as he got nausious with the dreadful feeling. He stopped. Sasuke who looked back to see a pale Naruto leaning against the tree silently came back.

"What's wrong dobe? We can't stop now! We're so close! I can feel her chakra!" he snarled at Naruto. Naruto was wide-eyed as he shook Sasuke's shoulders shouting, "WE CAN'T GO! WE CAN'T! SOMETHING HORRIBLE IS GOING TO HAPPEN! I CAN FEEL IT!" Sasuke was really angry, "WE DIDN'T COME ALL THE WAY HERE TO STOP JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE INSANE THOUGHTS!" Sasuke shouted. Naruto shouted back.

This was the beginning of a fight. Sasuke snarled as he charged at Naruto at full speed with a kunai in hand. Naurto dodged the slash of the kunai aimed for him, but was only met with Sasuke's kick that sent him flying toward a tree. CRACK! The bark of the tree in which Naruto had flew into shot everywhere. Before Naruto had time to react, Sasuke had a kunai to his throat and was shouting, "What kind of teammate are you? WHAT KIND OF FRIEND ARE YOU! ABANDONING ON A TEAMMATE! ESPECIALLY SAKURA!"

Naruto, with a trickle of blood down his chin smirked and said, "That's what I should ask you, teme. After all, you abandoned Konoha with all the intention to never come back. You left Team 7...How can you still say that I've abandoned Sakura-chan? I love Sakura-chan, teme... More than you'll ever." with that said, Naruto was gone with a poof.

Sasuke eyed widened as he growled, "Kage bushin..." He snapped with the blaizing red sharingan eyes. Nothing. Quietness. It was too quiet... Naruto wasn't the silent type. He would be attacking with a yell any second. He waited. Alert. Ready. Poised to attack.

A flash of orange. He knew where Naruto was. He smirked. It was time to end this pathetic fight.

"CHIDORI!"

"RASENGAN!"

And the best of friends and worst of rivals shot at each other. They were so close. Their two most powerful attacks, aimed at each other. No other thought except to kill the other was in their heads. They were so close. So close. 10 meters. 8. 6. 4. 2. And a pair of hands shot out and grabbed both attacking ninjas.

An angry voice rang, "HOW do you think you two can save Sakura if you both end up dead?" Two heads, black and blonde shot to look at their grey-haired sensei. KAKASHI!

"If I thought you two were idiots before. I was clearly wrong. You two are more than idiots. Especially you Sasuke, I would have thought you would have the sense then this. I know you are bent on saving Sakura, but you have to view others view of this mission. If you had killed Naruto, then you would have gotten no where with this mission and instead will live the rest of your life in regret."

"I DON'T REGRET ALMOST KILLING HIM!" both shouted. Kakashi shook his head, "Well then, you to are to immature to be assigned on this mission. We're going back to Konoha." With that, before either could protest, he knocked both unconscious.

"Heh heh... That was entertaining, it would have been more entertaining if you haven't stopped them, Kakashi." said a ANBU member as he jumped from his position a few trees away.

"hmmm..." was all Kakashi said before he pulled out his Icha Icha Paradise Volume 6 and started walking away, leaving to unconscious teens and a ANBU standing/laying there. The ANBU member sighed, picked up the two kids and started off, too.

(a/n: Srry about the lame fighting scene...I was lazy)

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

Inside the darkness of the heartwood...The elegant elder Uchiha...

"Hn...Looks like my fun will have to wait..." he whispered to himself before he once again folded his arms, closed his eyes and settled back down into the warm pulsing heart of the unnormal tree.

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

Her shining eyes woke up to the world in blurriness.

"What?" she snapped up wide awake, "I feel asleep..."

She looked around her...She once again woke up in Itachi's bed.. She smiled, content, sighing, she sank back down into the silky midnight sheets.

"Hmmm...Itachi-kun smells nice..." Chira murmured to herself... The slight musky masculine smell was making her feel warm...Like in his arms... Suddenly, a piercing shrill cry ran through the room. She shot up again, it was annoying yellow bird sitting outside the open window...

"Why did Akatsuki leave windows open? They're S-classed criminals after all..."she grumbled, "What an annoying bird...Makes me want to hit it..."

Then...Her head was filled with pain-

FLASHBACK

Team 7 was once again waiting for their perverted sensei to arrive at the gate. At that time, only Sakura and Sasuke were there. Naruto, was, as usual, not here yet. Sakura loved the time that Naruto and Kakashi-sensei wasn't there... It left her all alone with the hotness of Uchiha Sasuke... Hmmm... Boy was he smexy! 3...

"Sasuke-kun...Do-you...Maybe-" she was cut off by a , "SAKURA-CHAN! SASUKE-TEME!"

Sakura had a vein twitching on her forehead as she restrained herself from beating up the annoying blonde as he jumped and hugged her.

"Dobe."

That made the annoying brat stop hugging her, "WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU TEME!"

"Hn... As expected...DEAD LAST."

"GRRR...YOU COLD-HEARTED TEME! HOW DARE YOU!" Naruto yelled as he pounced at Sasuke. Of course, Sasuke, being Sasuke, jumped aside.

Sakura was really jealous and angry...How could Sasuke-kun speak more to Naruto than her! All Naruto did was insult him! Unlike her! Who always smiled and waited patiently for him to say yes to one of her date requests! And what about Naruto! He had just cut off one of her invitations to a date with Sasuke! HE might have said YES! THAT DOBE!

Sakura hit Naruto HARD on the head yelling, "NARUTO! STOP ATTACKING SASUKE-KUN! IT'S THE MORNING! COULDN'T YOU BE MORE CHEERFUL?"

Then...Kakashi-senshi had arrived.

"Sorry that I'm late... I was lost on the path of time!"

"LIAR!" screamed Sakura and Naruto as they got up and pointed an accusing finger at they're scarecrow-looking sensei... Kakashi could only sweatdrop and rub the back of his head, "Well...You can't hurt a guy for trying!"

"YOU CAN!" they screamed again at him...

END FLASHBACK

"What was THAT?" she asked herself astounded. That was not any of her memories. She left Konoha with Itachi. She wasn't on the same genin team as Itachi's brother and this...Blonde kid... She wasn't! SHE WAS TRAINED BY ITACHI!

Chira's head was in mad confusion now... How? WHy?1 What's this! It all screamed at her as she clutched her head as she dropped to the floor. Moaning and groaning, what was she suppose to believe in? She was Itachi's fiance! She did not grow up in Konoha! She was an Akatsuki! She was not a Konoha shinobi... She wasn't...No she wasn't...

And why did they call her Sakura? She wasn't Sakura... She was Chira! Chira! CHIRA HIRASHI! Who was she? She was Chira. Sakura.Chira.Sakura...No...Chira...

"I'm Chira...Chira...Chira...Not Sakura..." she whispered to herself as she clutched her knees and buried her head in between them...

"Why? Why...Why does she have my face?" she whimpered... The confusion was madness...Madness... What was she suppose to believe in? WHAT? Could she trust Itachi? Could she? COULD SHE?

It was hysterical. She couldn't decide. How could that girl have her face...Her body...Her soul... Her happiness...It was as their were two Konohas, and two worlds... One in which she was a member of the great Team 7...Another where she was fiance of the hated brother of her other world childhood crush... Who was she? Who...

"Who am I?...And which world can I trust..."

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

4 Months Later...

Sasuke was once again traveling through the dense forests...Toward where he now know is the estimated area of where he last fought Naruto...They had overcome challenge after challenge by their hard sensei...To trust each other and use teamwork was not a easy thing for these two... They fougt and bickered like a married couple, yet all knew they were the best of friends...

"You...T-two... Are...J-ju-st like Sa-sakura-c-chan and Ino-sa-n." Hinata had stuttered at him and Naruto, blushing and twittling her fingers.

It made him mad at the mistakes he made the first round of rescueing Sakura. How stupid was he? How would he benefit from killing Naruto? So they had worked hard the last months. Learned new skills and tuned old ones. They challenged each other day after day...Until Sasuke couldn't be patient any longer. Without telling Kakashi-sensei or Naruto, he left at the middle of the night in search of Sakura...Once again...

He had learned a life lesson these months, too... No matter how hard it was for his ego to take it. He knew it was the best lesson in life one could learn about others... "You will never realize how mucn a person meant to you until one day, they're there no longer."

He had taken it to serious thought. It was right. He missed Sakura. She was always there at Naruto and his fights to shout at them (Naruto), but would always heal their wounds in the end. No matter how many times he rejected her feelings, she still loved him all the same. Even when no one else had accepted him, she had. She had loved him with her heart and now...The love was not there anymore. She was no longer there beside him to cheer him on and be the first one to his side when he was hurt. He realized... How much he missed her. Her and her annoying voice that kept on bothering him day after day...He knew that if that voice was to ever go away...He would be lost...He would miss it. Same as that pink hair, if she had dyed her hair BLONDE or something, he would definetely be the first on to shout at her (even if it's only in his head). Those green eyes had always captivated him. Seas of emerald, a billionare's prized jewel. If he had owned those eyes...He'll be the richest man alive.

So here he was...In the dead of night, rushing toward the dense forests.. Unknowing to him...Something was stirring inside the base of a giant tree...

Sasuke, as dense as he was to the giant aura awakening inside a tree...kept on moving...He had to get to Sakura soon...But he was not fast enough...So he went faster...and faster...And the faster he went...The faster the aura was awakening...Until...Blood red eyes snapped open, and gleaming white teeths were revealed...Then it was gone in a flash, running toward the dark silhouette running away from it. Faster and faster in went...Faster and faster his prey was moving...In the mind, he was snarling in anger, how could the prey move so fast? How? It wasn't suppose to be this fast, he had underestimated it. The prey was getting away...But he won't let it get away...It would not be allowed to get into the area of the Akatsuki Headquarters...No it won't... The dark aura jumped a giant jump almost falling ontop of it's prey...It smirked...But not before the prey realized that the hunter was already too close...
