Power
She was a naïve kunoichi, much more so than many others in her generation despite the differences in scales of strength. In terms of strength, it made her think of her forbidden lover, the infamous Uchiha Itachi.
Sakura knew they were different.
She came from a civilian family.
He came from a well-known famous clan. Well known even after death.
She was well known by her teammates and masters.
He was well known simply by name.
She was strong.
But he, he was powerful. So much, it sometimes pained her to look at the drastic difference in their abilities. When she had been younger, she often complained to him about it. They both knew if he wanted to kill her, he could. That if he wanted to take her, to claim her, then she would be his. If he wanted to torture her with just a look, it was within his capacity.
Many corrupted in the clutches of power. Itachi was corrupted, but not for the reasons of others. So, it would make one wonder, if this is such a circumstance, why give the power to them in the first place?
Itachi needed what he didn't have. He told her as much. He needed her to give him the strength he lacked, as power could not complete a man. She could. It was the reason she gave this beautiful, self-sacrificing man all she had.
Because he needed her. Itachi never wanted anyone.
It was a testimony to her that he was human, that he while powerful, was still in control of himself.
More than anything, it was a sign that unlike his brother, he was not completely in darkness.
All because of three words.
It shaped them for the rest of their days.

A/N: I'm sure this one makes no sense. Well, somewhat. I hope you liked it despite the confusing concept. Pretty much Sakura realizes despite the fact that he is a powerful man, even he crumbles to the basic needs, ergo Sakura, while still not crumbling at the clutches of power. I don't know if it makes sense. ^^ Anyway, please review! I don't mean to beg, but I feel discouraged because of so little. Anyway, more to come soon.
