Tsuki-chan: A new chapter…my arms are killing me…I just exercised a few minutes ago and I feel like my arms going to fall off….ugh, anyways I don't own Naruto and I hope you like this chapter.
O . O, I didn't think I'd get this many reviews so soon. You people caught me off guard, I hadn't even started on the next chapter and…BAM, I'm the floor.
Trust-chan: O . O… DON'T DIE!PICTURE, PICTURE, PICTURE, PICTURE, SEE, SEE, I UPDATE! TT TT…picture….pweeeeaaaaasssseeee? Maybe one of mini-Sakura-chan and Sasuke-kun together, ooohhhh or how about Itachi and Sakura! (Runs around like a chicken with its head cut off)
Ou Yang Jing: Thank you, I changed the thing. I usually find Japanese words or names in the internet and the free translation dictionary in the internet said…otooji so I used that. Hehe, I wanted to take Japanese next year but my mom forced me to sign up for Spanish…oh well, you can't get everything.
"Sakura-chan." He whispered in a husky voice. Sakura gulped as sweat started to drip from her face. 'Okay Haruno…just take a step back…if you run into a wall just duck if he tries to grab you!' she thought panicking. "Uh. Uh, Itachi-kun…what are you doing?" she asked nervously. ' WHAT THE HELL AM I SAYING! OF COURSE I KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING!' she screamed mentally.
Sakura continued to walk backwards as he advanced when she fell backwards and landed on the bed. 'Okay, I wasn't expecting that' she thought with a sweat drop. She held her hands out in front of her and said in a panicking voice. "I-Itachi-kun…waaahhhh…don't….uh…I'll scream!" She threatened. He only smirked. "This is the backroom. No one can hear you."
"D-Don't come any closer!" she said shakily, he chuckled and shook his head. "Sakura, Sakura, Sakura. Don't think so ill of me. Okaasan said we're going to the meadow for a picnic so get ready." He said going to his bag. Sakura blinked. 'He's not going to do anything?' she thought confused.
Shaking her head she grabbed her bag and ran towards the bathroom, as she slammed the door a dark smirk arose in Itachi's face.

"Sakura-neesan!" she heard a shout and was tackled by two bodies. She laughed as she stumbled backwards and adjusted to the new weight." Sasuke-kun! Sakura-chan!" Sakura squealed back as she laughed with the two.
"This place is soooo pretty!" mini-Sakura said in awe as they left the house and went up a hill. Sakura saw that most of the adults were setting up everything while the kids were just playing around. "Hikaru-chan, do you need some help?" Sakura asked politely. Hikaru shook her head. "It's alright dear, just relax and have some fun."
"Alright then…" Sakura trailed off as she looked around. Everyone seemed relaxed and happy. 'So this was how the Uchiha Clan was before…the massacre.' She glanced at Sasuke who was talking happily with her younger self and a sad smile graced her lips. 'Stay strong Sakura…stay strong…' she chanted in her head.
"Sakura-chan!" she heard someone chirp her name, turning around she saw Yumi and Co. standing behind her with a big smile. "Oh hello, I was looking for you guys." She said placing the two kids down. "Sakura-chan, Sasuke-kun, why don't you play with the other kids?" the two pouted but nodded. "Okay."
"Those two are so kawaii. Most of our relatives are whiny and annoying but mini-Sakura-chan and Sasuke-kun are so…so…you know!" Usagi and Kichi squealed together. Sakura sweat dropped with the other two.
"Anyways, Sakura-chan, it must be nice bunking rooms with Itachi-kun." Mika said with a wink. Sakura shook her head. "No…I'm going to get gray hair way too early for my age." Yumi quirked an eyebrow. "Why? What's wrong with bunking with Itachi-kun? He's hot, he's strong, and he's smart!" (AN: Usually clans, cousins marry each other or something like that.)
"…sure…" Sakura muttered making a face mentally while a nervous smile was plastered across her features. "Yumi-chaaaaaannnnn!" a voice purred out shooting unpleasant feelings down Sakura's spine. She noticed Kano calling out to her. Yumi sweat dropped and hid behind the other girls. "Help, hide me, hide me!" she yelled.
Kano practically pranced his way to them. Fudo, Yukio, and Raidon followed behind at a much calmer pace." NIISAN, STOP HIM!" Mika screamed at Fudo, he sighed. "Mika, why don't you try and stop him for once." She glared at him. "Fine, Kano-niisan! Stop bugging Yumi-chan, go after Leiko for once!" Raidon made a face.
"Leiko is pretty and all, but her attitude and her laugh reminds me of a hyena." Usagi sighed while Yukio practically ran over to Sakura. "Hello beautiful fair maiden, we meet again!" Sakura laughed nervously as she caught Itachi's glare boring holes into Yukio's back. "H-Hello Yukio-kun."
"Hey, why don't we explore the forest? When we last came here we were too young to go around by ourselves." Kichi asked excitedly. Fudo blushed. "Yes, that's a great idea." Sakura's smile turned mischievous when she noticed the blush. 'Oh ho, looks like a certain Uchiha has a crush on another.'
They walked deep into the tropical forest, knowing how long their parents would take to set everything up and start cooking they walked around slowly. "Wow…this place is really pretty." Mika said with a big smile as she looked at a pink plant. "Be careful Mika." Fudo warned. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I know."
Sakura remained silent as she watched the leaves blow like music against the wind. She'd always liked trees. They calmed her and amazed her with how long they could live. She was broken out of her thoughts when the rhythm of the wind was broken. She narrowed her eyes. "You guys…someone's here." She whispered.
They all stopped and looked at her serious eyes. "Sakuuuura-chaaaaan, I'm baaaack!" Mika growled. "Who are you and what do you want with Sakura-chan?" the dark voice cackled in the shadows. "I'm hurt Sakura-chan, you don't know who I am…I thought you'd remember by now!" the voice sang out.
"Why don't you stop being a coward and come out from the shadows." Sakura said coldly. "Ah yes, that would be nice but…where's the fun in that!" Sakura suddenly threw a senbon in the shadows and ran towards it.
She pushed the branches away and found a piece of black cloth stuck on the tree. It had a symbol of a dragon circling around as if trying to eat its tail. The dragon was red and had a white sword going through it in front of it. She grabbed it and hid it in her pocket before the others saw it. "Sakura-chan…do you know that person?" she shook her head. "No…the last time I heard that voice was when I rescued Hikaru-chan and Sasuke-kun from those Mist-nins……"
"You better be careful…" Fudo said quietly as she nodded. "You think we should tell the adults?" Yukio whispered. Yumi glared at him. "Of course. Kaosu-ji-chan (Uncle) would tell the police and they'll protect Sakura-chan." The subject of the argument stayed silent for a second and shook her head. "No…"
"What!" Yumi yelled. Sakura shook her head once more. "No, this is my problem. I won't get you guys involved in this…please…just forget this ever happened." she whispered. They stayed silent at her pleading look and finally nodded. "Fine, we promise." Usagi whispered.
"Thank you……hehe, I think it's time we get back." Sakura said weakly. They nodded and started their journey back. Sakura watched as they left and after making sure they were a good distance away before she took out the cloth
'Why does this look familiar……d-did I lose my memory of how I got here? All I remember was Tsunade-sama saying that a new sensei was going to teach me for a while since she's the Hokage and all so she was a bit busy……' Sakura realized that she'd been having so many things on her mind that she hadn't thought about how she got here. Shaking her head she ran and caught up with the others.

(FEW HOURS LATER)

"CANNON BALL!" Raidon yelled as he jumped from the cliff of the waterfall. Leiko and her friends screamed as the water soaked them while they were getting a tan. The adults were in another lake while the kids had a place of their own to hang out in.
Itachi looked bored as he watched everyone play around. Sakura sweat dropped as she noticed a lot of the girls admiring his well-toned body. She shivered when she felt the stares of other boys as she got out of the lake; her two piece clung to her skin. It was white while her sarong was red.
"Awww, Sakura-chan, you getting out of the water already?" she heard Yukio say playfully as Kano dunked Fudo underwater. "Yeah, just going to rest for a while." she said with a wave. He nodded and soon a water war began between all the cousins.
"Itachi-kun, why aren't you playing?" Sakura asked sitting down on a root. "It's stupid." He muttered. Sakura sweat dropped. 'He's really like Sasuke-kun…I remember when Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke-kun, and I went to the beach for a little swim he wouldn't go near the water…' she thought fondly.
"I see the wound didn't scar." he commented. She blinked and glanced at her stomach. "Huh, oh yeah. I got tired of waiting it to heal by itself that I just used my chakra to heal it……" she said with a shrug. Itachi noticed that her skin was flawless even though she was a kunoichi. "You're a kunoichi, yet you don't have many battle scars."
"That…my teammates were very protective or something. They'd never let me fight so I never got hurt. I got left behind in strength and skill. The ironic thing is that one of my teammates would always call me weak when he'd never let me fight to get stronger…now that I think about it, I want to strangle him." She said wringing her hands, pretending there was a head there.
Itachi's trained eyes caught a barely visible scar and narrowed his eyes. "I see that bite mark scarred though. "Sakura's eyes widened as she slapped her hand on the mark. Itachi stood up from the rock he was sitting on and walked towards her. Sakura walked back until she was backed against a tree. Since they were so far away, nobody noticed.
"Sakura…that mark signifies you belong to someone else…but I don't care…you're mine and that's that." He whispered in a low dangerous voice as he held his hands next to her head so she couldn't escape.
FLASH
"Remember me Sakura, you're mine and don't forget it."
FLASH
'Those words…so similar…yet the voice is different…who said those words?' Sakura thought wide eyed, his lips were an inch away from hers when words tumbled from her mouth before she could think. "Do you love me?"
"What?" he paused as his eyes widened. He leaned back to look at her face to face. "I said…do you love me?" he blinked as she got up from against the tree. "……I can't stay with a person who doesn't care or love me……I've been hurt enough and I don't want to be hurt again…if you love me I might give it a chance but if this is just lust than I'm not falling for it." she whispered, her eyes glistening with tears as she remembered her first love.
As she walked away Itachi's eyes followed. '…I don't care what you say, you belong to me……but I am curious as well……is my attraction to you just lust?'
Tsuki-chan: The chapter's a bit short buuuutttt I had no idea what to write next…I'll try and make the next chapter a bit longer and more interesting. Review Please
