A.N. Hiiiii, sorry I took so long to update lol but I've rewritten this chappy so many times it's not funny. Anywho enjoy and I want another five reveiws before I update again.

"Uchiha." Greeted the man with a gleam to his eye. Itachi narrowed his eyes, "Haruno." He greeted back cautiously. "You two are supposed to be dead."

"We couldn't let our little petal grow up the whole way without us." Said the woman; her voice was a high twinkle.

By this time Kisame and Sasori were at the doorway trying to break through the invisible barrier. "Why are you here now?"

"Our petal's going through a tough time, and we need to comfort her." Replied the woman.

Hiroshi looked upwards at the building he sensed their chakras in, "This is crazy." He said running his fingers through his red hair and over the deep scar across his neck and shoulder. "No way can it be them." The wind swept around him as he stared at the damaged building in confusion. "But the chakra pattern is identical."
Sakura slowly opened her eyes to find a freezing cold hand smoothing through her hair. A disgusting smell clung to her nose.

She coughed and sat up; she saw Itachi, Sasori and Kisame in the doorway. "My petal is awake." Said a chirpy voice from behind her. Sakura froze at the sound of the voice, the voice she'd longed to hear in so long, a shiver was sent down her spine. She turned slowly, she gasped and her eyes widened in shock.

"Mum… dad?" she whispered, the smell of rotting flesh was getting stronger as her mother reached out a hand to her, "Come with us Sakura, we will look after you." she begged.

Sakura tried to back away and fell off the bed, "No." she whispered, "You're not real; you died." She brought her arm to her nose and mouth to try and cover up the smell. "I saw you're bodies."

Her mum took a step towards her. Burns started to erupt over her body and cover her like a disease, "Sakura, please? Don't be so stubborn. We're your parents." Said her father sternly as cuts and burns started to grow over his face.

His eyes became bloodshot and seemed so dry. The smell of burning rotting flesh became overpowering. "No… not again." Sakura closed her eyes.

Itachi stared at them, "What the hell's going on?" questioned Kisame in shock, the two were burning right in front of them but there were no flames.

Sakura felt a very rough, raw and hot hand upon the side of her face. "Sakura please, don't be so rude to us, please give your mother a hug."

Sakura opened her eyes slowly to her mother's black, charred face smiling at her tightly; red eyes stared into her own green eyes. Sakura felt tears running down her cheeks, she screamed loudly before she could stop herself. Her mums burnt arms wrapped around her, "Don't cry Sakura." She whispered.

Hiroshi jumped into the damaged room and heard a scream from the next room. He attached an explosive tag to the wall and jumped backwards. The wall blew apart. He stared in shock and gagged at the overpowering stench.

"Sakura?" he whispered hoarsely as he saw the shaking girl being hugged by a burning, rotting, crisp body. He noticed the three standing in the doorway, one looking on in surprise and the other two performing seal breaking jutsu.

Another of the burning bodies turned to face him, "Hiroshi." He said blankly, "You left her?" Hiroshi executed a jutsu, "Kai!" he called, but the bodies didn't disappear. "You left her after we died? You left her alone?"

"Kai!" he called again.

Sakura felt herself becoming unable to breath, wheezing noises escaped her lips as her mum's hug crushed her, "Sakura don't be scared, come back with us."

Sakura slowly clenched her shaking fist.

The man held out a hand towards Hiroshi, "You should come too Hiroshi." He said in a hoarse voice. Hiroshi stared at the burnt hand in front of him, he then looked to Sakura; she was so helpless, just like she was when he left, "Sakura." He whispered, "I have to protect…"
Sakura raised her fist and punched the side of her mother's face, hearing the cracks of her frying skin against her fist, "No!" she shouted. Her mother was sent flying across the room with the strength of the punch.

Sakura's mother sat up, one arm supporting her weight and her legs curled behind her. Her free hand had moved to the spot of broken skin where Sakura had struck her. Sakura stood up and leaned against the wall.

Her eyes swam with different colours, her normal colour and the pink they turned when she meditated. She was fighting her emotionless state, because she knew that if she let it take over her then she'd kill her parents.

She stood up slowly, "You two aren't meant to be here anymore."

"But Sakura-chan, I'm your mother, you should love me and want me back."

"You don't belong in this world, you died a long time ago, now go back, or I'll beat you back."

"Sakura…"

"Go!" Sakura's voice was harsh; she held her head as she fought against her emotionless state. "Dammit." She squeaked.

"Sakura!" called Itachi, "You can fight it just break the seal on the doorway." Sakura looked to him, her changing eye colour swirling around her pupil.

She outstretched her hand towards the doorway and opened her palm, "Seven meter door seal release. Kai!" she called moving her fingers into a hand seal. Kisame nearly fell through the now open doorway but gained balance in time to rush forwards and grasp Sakura. He pushed her behind him and shielded her with his tall body, "What's going on?" he asked. Sakura didn't reply; she only fought against the emotionless state. As she did so a small voice began to circle through her head.

Sakura. Inner me?

Itachi rushed her mother and made a grab for her but he white haired burnt woman evaded him easily. Kisame blocked an attack from Sakura's father, "Get away from my daughter!" he snarled. Kisame turned to Sakura, "Sakura run for it." He ordered. Sakura didn't move, her face was blank and she seemed to be in some sort of trance.

No I'm the personality that takes over when life gets too much for you. Let me take over, I'll get rid of use two quickly enough, I'll make them go away again, and then everyone else can go away. Like both Uchiha's, then we can be free of everything, we can… no! Why are you here?

Itachi dodged a punch from Sakura's mother; Sasori was attacking the red head in the room, "Sasori!" he called. Itachi's red eyes fell upon Sakura, "Sasori don't let her see this!" he ordered, "Get her out of here!" Sasori nodded as one of his puppets attacked the red head, he summoned a second one. The puppet surrounded Sakura and it bashed through a wall and landed outside.

Silly Sakura, you created me, I'm all of the depression you've felt in your life, all of the strongest emotions of pain, fear and sadness you've ever felt. And you can't make me go away.

Itachi managed to grasp Sakura's mother's neck; the half dead woman pushed him off her and tried to hit him with a kunai, Itachi blocked and she leaped out after the puppet, as did Sakura's father letting Kisame's sword shave the skin from his arm. They closed in on the puppet. "Sasori!" shouted Kisame. The red head destroyed Sasori's puppet. Sasori jumped from the room and let his outdoor puppet swallow him up.

I'm slowly becoming a personality, one that will eventually devour your own. I won't let you. We'll see Sakura, we'll see.

The voice faded slowly. Sakura's eyes returned to the emerald green and she fell forwards onto her hands and knees. She felt a hand pull her to her feet; Sasori was next to her with a puppet surrounding the two.

"You zoned out, that's not like you Sakura-san." Observed Sasori holding the puppet together. Sakura looked around their wooden room, "Forgive me Sasori-san, I just saw my parents burn… again." Sasori looked away from her, "Itachi is taking care of things he's trying to search their minds so that he knows their origin, also Sasuke escaped."
"That dumb ass!" she hissed angrily, "What's going on out there?"

"A man with red hair appeared in your room, looking as shocked as you, you wouldn't happen to know him would you?" Sakura didn't have time to reply because the puppet broke apart. The two were thrown out of the puppet.

Sasori managed to catch Sakura before she could hurt herself. Sakura, a bit peeved at her need of assistance, got off Sasori. "Kisame." Growled Sasori, "You were supposed to be guarding the puppet." Kisame was being held against the outer wall by Sakura's dad. "The bastard won't go down!" shouted Kisame back.

Sakura's eyes widened she gagged and looked away from her father, Kisame had shaved the skin off his arm. Sakura took a step backwards and felt her mother's arms wrap around her tightly, "Sakura, please." She pleaded in a wispy voice.

Her mother was knocked away by one of Sasori's puppets. "Sakura, get out of here." Ordered Sasori. Sakura ran into the trees and through the forest. "Sakura!" screeched her mother after her. Sasori moved the puppet to grab her, "Now that she's gone I can get nasty with you." he said. Sakura's mother gasped as a poisoned blade swooped towards her.

Kisame Took down Sakura's father in one move, "Sorry I didn't take you down sooner." He apologised kneeling next to the corpse, "But what with Sakura watching and everything it just wasn't right to destroy her parents in front of her." There came no reply from her father only a wheezing noise.

Itachi was examining Sakura's mother closely. "The little…" he exclaimed darkly. "Sasuke?" questioned Kisame. Itachi nodded curtly in reply, "Wait where's the red head?"

"He's good at masking chakra." Muttered Kisame. Itachi started in the direction Sakura went in, "He must be after her." He said. Sasori and Kisame both ran after him.

Sakura was sitting on a tree branch with her back against the tree. She was shaking in her meditation position, "Have to stop it." She whispered as she felt her shock, fear and depression sink into her subconscious. The bandana felt rough against her skin as she managed to still her shaking. She took a few deep breaths then pulled the bandana from her eyes, she then wrapped it around her forehead again, "That's better." She whispered. She felt normal again. She stood up.

Hiroshi jumped to a nearby branch which belonged to the tree next to the one Sakura was on, "Sakura?" he questioned. Sakura raised an eyebrow at him. "Who are you?"

"Hiroshi, you don't remember me?" Suddenly a memory flashed through her head.

Flashback!!

"Sakura." He wiped a stray hair from her eyes, "It's ok; you're with me now." Sakura looked up at him, "B-but they…"

"I know, I wont let them hurt you anymore, I promise."

"Hiroshi-nee-san!" she hugged him tighter. Sakura, at age fourteen, smiled, "You always look after me." He hugged her back, "I know."

Sakura broke free of the hug; "You wont leave again will you?"

"I promise I'll never leave you again."

"Really?"

"Yeah, really." Sakura smiled sweetly.End flashback

Sakura stared at him in shock, "You!" she exclaimed accusingly as another memory flooded to her head.

Flashback

Sakura wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "Hiroshi don't go please!" she begged him, "Not now that I'm alone."

"Sakura I have to go, I can't stay here." Sakura's lip quivered, "Were you only ever here because mum and dad wanted you to be?" she asked quietly. Hiroshi turned to her as she continued, "And now that they're dead you can finally leave?"

"Sakura, no, you know that's not true, I just need some time alone, I think you do too."

"You're wrong, I can't be alone! Not now! Please!"

"Sakura, I'm leaving." He picked his bag over his shoulder, "I'll come back for you."

"And what about never leaving me?" her voice was lower now, "What about everything you promised me?" Hiroshi looked away from her eyes glittering with unshed tears, "Sakura, I… I thought I could keep that promise at the time but now… I can't take it ok? Mum and Dad are gone and…" he paused to compose himself, "I'll come back for you." He turned away from her and walked out of Sakura's house. "Hiro!" shouted Sakura after him, she ran out into the street, se caught a glimpse of an orange jumpsuit nearby but didn't turn to acknowledge him.

"Hiroshi!" she called again, but he carried on walking away from her he didn't turn around, he didn't even seem to be listening. "Hiroshi you promised!" she called. He completed a jutsu and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Sakura's tears didn't fall from her eyes; her eyes seemed to dry up. "Sakura?" questioned a voice from next to her. Sakura turned to Naruto her face became unemotional for a few moments, then she smiled, "Hi Naruto, how are you?" Naruto didn't reply he only regarded her strangely, "Where'd Hiroshi go?"

"Who?"

"Your brother."

"I don't have a brother, idiot." She laughed a little then she turned towards her door, "Are you coming in?"

End flashback

Sakura narrowed her eyes at him, "Hiroshi." She greeted dully. "Sakura, how come you didn't recognise me?"

"What are you doing here?"

"That's not something you should be asking your brother after all these years." Sakura laughed curtly, "Oh so it's brother now is it?"
"Don't you remember the last thing I said? I said I'd come back for you."

"The last thing I remember is seeing your back as you walked away." Hiroshi looked down, "I just needed to find myself."

"Did you find him?" Sakura was so angry her aura circled around her almost visibly. "I thought I did, but then I sensed mum and dad, and then I saw you. What were you doing in there anyway?"

"Akatsuki?"

"Yeah."

"I work and live there." Hiroshi huffed and looked down, "No way." He punched his hand into the tree trunk, "No way Sakura! You joined Akatsuki? What the Hell is wrong with you?" he was angry now.

Sakura clenched her fist, "What's wrong with me? There's nothing wrong with me you idiot!"

"Then what are you doing hanging out in a base full of murderers and psychos?" he shouted back. "I am one of those murdering psychos!"

"No! I am taking you home right now and you're going to realise where you belong."

"I was home until the whole family decided to break in!"

"That is not your home! You live in Konoha!"

"Not for the past couple of years I haven't, didn't you hear I'm one of the top ranking assassins." Her face was twisted in hatred. "What the hell drove you to join them?" he pointed back towards the Akatsuki base.

"I don't have to answer to you."

"Yeah you do. I'm your brother!"

"No, you're not, a brother would have kept his promise, a brother wouldn't have left me alone. A brother wouldn't have left me to go insane whilst I was so alone!"

"I couldn't take it!" Sakura paused at his sudden outburst, "I couldn't take it that they were gone, and you, you look just like them, you always did and every time I saw you I saw them and it was like seeing them die all over again."

"You didn't even go to see the bodies. You wouldn't go with me, why did I have to be the adult? You're the older one." Hiroshi was silent for a few seconds, he finally lifted his head expecting to se his sister's eyes glittering with her tears, but all he saw was a slightly vacant expression and anger. "So you forgot about me?"

"I didn't mean to, I guess that's how my mind works now though, I forget what I don't want to remember."

"Sakura…"

"Sorry did I hurt your feelings?" she replied with mock consideration.

"Come on, I'll take you home and you can get some medical help."

"No."

"I'll take you there by force." His serious expression faulted when he heard the giggle erupt from his sister's mouth, "You really think you can take me down by force?" she asked.

Hiroshi pulled out a kunai, "You may be stronger but you still can't beat me." He said beaming with grave confidence. Sakura moved her hands into a hand seal, "Sakura-Kuro – forest infection!" she called.

Hiroshi gasped when the tree branch twisted beneath him. Sakura's eyes had gone black and her expression was grave. Hiroshi slashed his kunai against the tree branches that shot towards him. He ran through the trees trying to dodge the branches,

"When did she get this strong?" he asked as he jumped over a swinging tree branch. "You're wasting your time running, Hiro, I can see you through the trees." Hiroshi spun around and cut into a tree trunk, a small scratch appeared on Sakura's stomach. She ignored it and held her hands out to control the trees.

Hiroshi was knocked over by a tree branch and went flying into another tree, the tree wrapped its limbs around him and held him so tight he could only just breath. Sakura jumped down in front of him, one arm still outstretched, "Go back to Konoha Hiro." Ordered Sakura quietly but assertively, "You are unwanted here." Hiroshi fought against the branches, "Sakura, you aren't a bad person, come home please? I won't leave here without you!"

Itachi, Sasori and Kisame finally caught up with Sakura. "Well done." Praised Kisame, "I'd say you pretty much mastered forest infection by now." He observed looking to the branches surrounding Hiroshi.

"So who is he?" asked Sasori, his puppet was behind him ready to attack. Sakura didn't look at them to acknowledge them, "He's my brother." she replied darkly. Itachi was as surprised as Kisame and Sasori, but neither he or Sasori showed the emotion. "What?" Asked Kisame, "I never knew you had siblings."

"I only just remembered him myself."

"What have you people done to my sister?" demanded Hiroshi as he fought harder against the tree's grasp, "Go home Hiro, and don't come back. Or I will seriously fight you." Hiroshi was about to reply when he noticed the vines grow from the ground and wrap around his feet, "Sakura-Kuro – transportation technique." Hiroshi disappeared.

Sakura turned from the tree and released the jutsu, letting all of the trees return to normal. Her eyes turned back to green and she walked away, not saying a word to the other Akatsuki members. Kisame stepped after her, "Leave her go." Said Sasori outstretching a hand in order to stop him, "She wants to be alone." Itachi made no attempt to go after her. He just watched her walk off, her hair swishing down her back with her movements.

Sakura walked straight into the cherry blossom trees that were sectioned off in the garden, it was the only place she was sure she could be alone to meditate, Sasori didn't go there out of respect to her, it was too bright for Kisame and Itachi had a seriously bad case of hay fever and didn't go in there unless it was very, very urgent. She sat in the middle of the square of cherry blossom trees and moved herself into a meditating position, she moved her bandana down over her eyes and let herself melt into her thoughts.
