Senko: It's come to my attention that…this story might be boring right now. There's not a lot of drama yet lol

Also, in the previous chapter, towards the end of the chapter, Sakura refers to Sasuke as just "Sasuke" when it should have been "Sasuke-kun." That was my mistake. I forgot to type in the "–kun."

Neon kun and theoneandonlydarkpowderpuff: My best friend told me that I should have just made Itachi turn fourteen because it would be kinda weird having Itachi be twelve v.v and then I decided to make Itachi just have amnesia (that ways he'd still be older) but I remember I already read a fic where Itachi had amnesia and becomes Sakura's boyfriend. So in the end I decided to just make Itachi twelve…to….add drama lol Midnight-miko66: No! I am not like that! O.O;; I intend to finish ALL my ItaSaku stories!

Chapter 2

Itachi wandered aimlesslythrough the streets of Konoha. After returning to Sakura's place, Sakura had given him the money that Tsunade gave to her to give to him. She had simply told him that the Godaime-sama said that the money was for clothes and such things. After taking off the odd and oversized cloak he had on (the Akatsuki cloak), he left to shop for clothes that would fit him and restock on weapons. He wondered why he was wearing such large clothes, but dismissed the topic as soon as it was brought up. After buying his necessities he returned home.

"Ah! Itachi! You're back! I cleaned your room, it's right across from my room," Sakura greeted, smiling. "Hurry up and get cleaned up because Shino-san's birthday is going to start! It's mandatory for you to attend because you need to meet all the other ninjas!"

Itachi set his things down. "How is it mandatory for me to meet them?"

Sakura almost frowned, but kept smiling. "Well, you don't really have to…but it'd be a good idea. You're going to be living with them in the same city, so you should at least get to know them. But oh well, I guess if you don't want to meet them it's all right. We'll be at the ramen restaurant on the intersection of Spiral Avenue and Sand Street just in case you change your mind, ok?"

She left. Itachi brought his things down the hall and opened a random door. The room was pure white and plain. A simple bed was set. He dropped his things and examined the room. After taking out his clothes and things and fixing his room, he visited the room across of his room. This room's walls were white but everything inside, from the bed sheets to the curtains, were all pink. He assumed that it was Sakura's room and walked inside. The first thing to catch his eyes was a single picture on top of Sakura's dresser. Picking it up to get a closer view, he noticed that it was a group picture of her, a blonde boy, a silver-haired man, and a frowning boy that resembled him.

After taking a quick shower and getting dressed, Itachi lied on his bed not knowing what to do. Then a thought struck him and he got up and left the house.

Sakura entered the ramen restaurant and was met with many smiling faces. Naruto, Shino, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, and Kiba were all there.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto exclaimed and jumped up and hugged her.

She gently pushed him away. "That's enough, Naruto. Oh yeah, happy birthday, Shino."

"Thanks," said Shino.

"Um…" Sakura began. The group's eyes and attention turned to her. She gulped before announcing, "This is really difficult for me to say…"

Ino gasped. "Are you pregnant?"

"WHAT!" Naruto exclaimed. "You're not pregnant, are you? You're only fourteen!"

Sakura gritted her teeth in anger. "No. It's something else. I-"

"Oh, my god!" Ino yelled. "You don't know who the father is!"

She couldn't take it anymore.

"You are watching too many of those stupid soap operas, you pig!" she yelled. Immediately, she calmed down. "As I was saying, uh…Itachi might be joining us."

"What," the group said at once.

"Please, hear me out!" she pleaded. She quickly glanced around and when she knew that Itachi wouldn't anywhere near to hear her, she spoked again. "Because of Naruto I made a mistake and accidentally transformed Itachi into his twelve-year-old self. He doesn't remember anything past his twelve years of life. I told him that he was in a coma and while he was in a coma his whole clan was killed and that Sasuke-kun left to find the murderer. Tsunade-shishou told me that he would be living with me and that he'd, again, be a ninja of Konoha."

Everyone stared with confused expressions, wondering whether or not to believe this unbelievable story.

"Is this supposed to be some sort of gift for me?" Shino asked. "It's very clever."

"No! I'm not joking around!" Sakura said. "It's true –"

"Sakura…" a voice said from behind.

Sakura whirled around to see Itachi standing behind her. "Hey, Itachi, so you came after all. Meet Naruto, Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, and Shino."

Itachi looked at them and nodded, acknowledging their presence.

The group looked shocked at Itachi, they were speechless.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Uh…um, it's just…so unbelievable that you're b-back," Hinata said.

The group nodded their heads, agreeing with Hinata's statement.

"Have a seat, you two!" Ino said, faking a smile to hide her fear. She scooted over to make space for the two.

Sakura took a seat by Ino and Itachi sat next to Sakura. For a moment silence dominated the atmosphere until a waitress came by to take their order. When she left, Sakura decided to speak.

"So…anybody going on a new mission?"

"OH! Me! Me!" Naruto exclaimed. "The old hag is giving me…a B-ranked mission! I'm escorting this really hot girl back to her village!"

Shikamaru scoffed. "Yeah, let Naruto be your bodyguard. It's the fastest way to die."

"What!" Naruto glared. "I am a very reliable bodyguard!"

"I'm sure Ino's dead flowers, which were stomped on and pulled out by a five-year-old because you were busy showing off your bunshins to Konohamaru, agree," Shikamaru stated sarcastically.

Ino's high-pitched gasp filled the room. "You said they were stolen by a…a mean and fierce monster with monstrous hair and a pitchfork!"

"He actually meant a mischievous little girl with long, brown braided hair and a yellow umbrella," Choji said, and then returning to munch on his bag of chips.

Ino screeched, almost jumping over the table to strangle Naruto, but she was restrained by Sakura's arms around her waist pulling her back down.

"Calm down you pig!" Sakura yelled.

Ino calmed down and sat back in her seat when the waitress came by with their orders. Ino smiled innocently. "Thank you!"

The rest of the conversations after this were slightly, slightly, less bizarre and calm. Naruto was boasting about his B-ranked mission. Shikamaru seemed to be asleep. Choji, as usual, was eating chips (since he finished his beef ramen already). Hinata was silently eating. Ino was going on about how she needed to reapply her makeup. Akamaru was trying to convince Kiba that the ramen was poisonous. Then there's Shino, the birthday boy, who just sat there in silence.

Sakura turned to Itachi and smiled. "Having fun?"

He hesitated before answering. "I guess."

Because of Sasuke, Sakura was able to understand the "cold-and-reticent" language. She deciphered that Itachi's reply meant "what the hell is going on" and "I regret coming here."

The night soon came to an end and Sakura and Itachi returned to their home. Itachi, just as Sakura had expected, went straight to his room and remained there. Sakura also went to her room since she had already eaten at the restaurant and had no need to cook dinner. The house was so quiet, and Sakura wondered if Sasuke's family lived in silence or not. A gentle knock on the door was heard.

"Come in," she said.

The door opened and Itachi appeared. Sakura, who was reading a scroll, sat up on her bed and gave him her attention. "Anything I can help you with?"

"I want to know more about Sasuke."

"Oh…well, what do you want to know?"

"Where is he?"

"We…we don't know where he is at the moment," she lied. "The Hokage sent a team to retrieve him but they failed, and that was the last time any Konoha shinobi saw Sasuke-kun."

"Is he powerful?"

"Well, he did graduate at the top of the class, and he is well-known for surviving the massacre."

"How did he survive?"

"That I do not know. A few times he mentioned his family being killed and he said something about the killer letting him live."

"What relation do you have to him?"

"We were just teammates."

"I see. Thank you," he said, turning around to leave. Before he exited the room, he was stopped by Sakura's voice.

"You're not planning on trying to find him, are you?"

He gave no reply, but just walked out of the room. Sakura flopped back on her bed and stared at the ceiling. She would now have to talk to the Hokage and ensure that Itachi is given no mission involving Sasuke or Orochimaru. Someone might just die and there really would only be a sole survivor of the Uchiha Clan. The younger brother wants to kill the older brother while the older brother, who does not remember anything, wants to find the younger brother and possibly bring the younger brother back to Konohagakure or help the younger brother take revenge… Sakura hoped that Itachi wouldn't try to help Sasuke take revenge. Things were beginning to get complicated now.

Senko: Sorry this chapter is really short. But I just thought that I should end the chapter here lol anyway, please review!
