Tsuki-chan: HI, I'M BACK! No, I wasn't dead… just had a writers block. I couldn't imagine how to end this. Also when i tried to upload the document it wouldn't work!
TT - TTAnyways this is either the second last chapter or… not. Either way I hope you enjoy this chapter, I DON'T OWN NARUTO!
Sakura sat on the futon, staring aimlessly at the wall. She had run back to the cabin and locked herself in the room, thankful that Itachi respected her need to be alone. Curled up in the fetal position she held herself tightly.
"Pathetic." Sakura looked up when she heard a female voice. Turning towards the source she saw a girl sitting on a tree with expressionless eyes. Her eyes widened, that girl looked familiar. Long midnight blue locks, emerald eyes… "Sensei…"
"You finally remember me?" Kurai asked as with a wave of her hand the window opened, allowing her to enter the room. Sakura stared with her mouth a gapped. Why was she here?
"I'm here because I came here to keep an eye on you." Kurai answered as if reading her mind. Sakura was about to stand up when Kurai sat down abruptly in front of her. "Have you made your decision?"
"What?"
"Will you allow Uchiha Itachi to live or die? If you kill him Sasuke will be happy but if let him live he will massacre this clan." Sakura remained silent making Kurai sigh. "Sakura… do you even know why Itachi killed his clan?"
"To see the height of his capabilities." Her answer came automatically.
"Do you truly believe that was his reason? If he wanted to test his capabilities he could have just challenged powerful legendary people instead of destroying his clan, after all what would killing his clan do for him?" Sakura didn't answer; Kurai's words did make sense.
"Then why?" she whispered.
"You'll find that in time but hurry and tell me your answer before the time of the massacre is upon you." Sakura frowned as with a gust of wind Kurai disappeared, leaving her alone in the room once more.
"You called for me?" Itachi asked. They were standing in front of the lake where they had last met. Sakura sighed as she turned around to face him.
"I need an answer Itachi-kun… do you love me?" she whispered. Itachi stared without flinching and closed his eyes. Sakura's blood was pulsating within her as she waited anxiously for her answer. She held her breath as he opened to reply, this was it...his answer was going to settle everything.
"I-!"
"What's going on here?" Sasuke's voice demanded, cutting Itachi off. Itachi glared at his otouto-look alike and resisted the urge to snap the neck off. Something felt very wrong about this… Sasuke.
"Sa-Sa-Sasuke-kun." She whispered, looking on the floor. Her hands held in front of her chest as if trying to create more distance between them. Sasuke jumped in front of her and tilted her chin.
'What the hell are you doing?' His eyes asked.
'…nothing…' she replied.
"We were here," Sakura looked up startled as Itachi spoke up, "because I wanted to tell her… Aishiteru." He answered bluntly. Sasuke felt anger coursing through his vein at his brother's words while Sakura gasped.
"I finally understood this feeling I had within myself. When I see you I would feel light, when you were gone I felt empty, and when you cried I felt a strong heaviness within me." Itachi whispered at Sakura who felt tears pooling in her eyes. "When I first met you… you confused me but now I know… Aishiteru Sakura… Aishiteru."
"I-Itachi-kun… I…" she was cut off when she felt the dark chakra besides her. She shuddered at the chakra rolling off of Sasuke and took a step back. The ugly purple chakra, the black markings… the curse seal had activated, what was worse was that the Mangekyou Sharingan was activated.
"Shut up… you bastard… Sakura is mine, how dare you try to take her away from me!" Itachi was startled at Sasuke's husky voice as well as the level of dark chakra. "You always try to take everything from me! My family, my friends… and now the only person I loved!" (AN: He meant when Itachi tried to take Naruto for the Kyuubi.)
"What are you talking about?" Itachi demanded when suddenly Sasuke disappeared in a blur, kicking Itachi on the back. Itachi grunted as he flipped forward, landing on his feet as he skidded across the floor. "I don't understand but I won't allow you to harm Sakura."
Itachi ran as Sasuke charged, Sakura watched with wide tear filled eyes as the two fought. It's true that she hated how Sasuke had become but it hadn't been his fault, if Itachi had never killed his clan none of this would have happened. Sakura was paralyzed as realization sunk in.
'Wha-What if… Itachi-kun found out I was from the future and that the one he was fighting was his brother… what if… no, it can't be! If he found out I was from the future… would he still love me? If he loved me so much would he kill his clan knowing if he didn't he wouldn't have never met me at this age?' Sakura shook her head, Itachi wouldn't do that… would he?
They would have still met but Itachi would meet the chibi-Sakura-chan, not the older one. Sakura felt a presence behind her and saw Kurai standing behind her. "It's time for you to choose Sakura… what will you do? If you choose to leave the past as it is and allow Itachi to leave I will stop Sasuke but I will allow this battle to continue if you wish Itachi to live."
"I…" she looked behind to see Sasuke successfully score a punch. Itachi couldn't beat Sasuke in his current state. Sakura trembled as she took in deep breaths, calming herself. Looking at Kurai straight in the eye she saw her answer.
Tsuki-chan: I know this is short, I promise to make the next chapter longer. I didn't know how to make this more interesting… I'm sorry. I swear the next chapter will be better… longer… filled with Sasuke Sakura mush as well as Itachi Sakura mush okay?PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! Oh and review please!
