The Next Day~

The group was on the move again. The kids and early teenagers were in carriages, tied up, while the older women were tied up, in a line. Their wrists were tied, then

there was rope tied to their waist, that connected to the person behind them. Sakura was tied up, and was in a separate carriage, the one where the leader always rode in. He sighed.

"You not even resisting me" he said with a kunai in his hand. Sakura was sitting in front of him, with her head hung low. He grabbed her hair, and jerked her head back.

"Why?" he asked. Sakura could tell he was getting agitated. She had already figured his character out. He liked the one's that fought back, it pleased him, but when

they didn't he got aggravated. Why? What's the point of making people do things, that they just accept. "It's like you said…I should just give up" she said hoarsely. He

stared at her. Her eye's, the once sparkling emerald green, that once showed pride, honor, trust, love, now showed her pain, and loneliness. Grinding his teeth down,

Hiroshi cut her hair and pushed her harshly to where she landed on the floor. He then threw her cut hair at her.

"NO!" he yelled. He started kicking her side.

Outside of Hiroshi's Carriage~

The henchmen were walking, keeping everyone in line when out of nowhere a barrage of kunai came from both side's killing most of them.

"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" some yelled. The girls all huddled together, their bodies shaking in fear. Hiroshi stepped out, with his kanta welded. Everything was quiet. Too

quiet when black blurs came out from all side's. One of them stopped in front of him. He examined their clothing. Black cloaks with red clouds.

"Akatsuki" he said. Another Akatsuki member jumped beside the one in front of Hiroshi. "This looks like the leader Itachi" he said. Hiroshi looked around. All his

henchmen were dead and the girls were gone.

"My slaves…WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WITH THEM!" he yelled.

"We don't kill un necessarily" the Akatsuki member said. Hiroshi glared at him.

"You 2.…Kisame Hoshigaki of the Mist and Itachi Uchiha of the leaf" he said. Hiroshi then smirked. "Well this works out quiet nicely, I'll just kill you both and get my

reward" he said. Kisame raised his brow.

'This idiot obviously doesn't know who we are' he thought. Itachi of course stayed silent and showed no emotion. A small rattle came from behind Hiroshi.

'Someone's in there' Itachi thought. Itachi disappeared and Kisame attacked. Only minutes passed by and Hiroshi was dead. Itachi stepped out of the carriage holding

Sakura in his hands.

"Whoa, Pinky there, looks like shit" Kisame said. Itachi sat her down. He cut the chakra ropes off of her. He noticed the red marks around her wrists. Being a genius and

all, he figured that she must have been tied for a very long time.

"Hey she looks familiar" Kisame said. He pulled out a little black book and flipped through the pages. "Here it is, Sakura Haruno, Anbu, Medic of Konoha" Kisame said

reading it. He started to read silently. Itachi stared at the pink haired kunoichi.

'Sakura Haruno…..We meet again' he thought.

Flash Back~

A young juvenile Itachi was sitting under a tree. His eye's were closed. Being 12 and training to be in Anbu was tough, he needed a break. Everything was quiet and calm.

"What are you doing Mr.?" a small feminine voice said. Itachi's eye's opened revealing red sharringan eye's. What he saw was a small little girl with short pink hair, emerald

green eye's and a few cuts on her face.

'Why didn't I sense her?' he thought. 'Must be because I'm too tired' he added to his thought.

"What are you doing here?" Itachi asked. The little girl looked around.

"Nothing, I was just passing bye and saw you here, I thought you were dead but I saw you breathing" the girl said. Itachi stared at her. After seeing that she posed no threat

he deactivated his sharringan. "You shouldn't sleep here, it's dangerous" she said. Itachi raised her brow.

"Do you know who I am?" he asked. The girl stared at him. There was a moment of silence.

"Yes, Your Uchiha, Itachi" she said with a smile on her face. "Sasuke's brother"

"Hn"

"I'm right aren't I?"

"Hn"

"I'm Sakura" she said. Itachi shifted his head, so he could look at the sky. 'I guess he doesn't like the company' she thought. "I'm going now" Sakura stood up and started to

walk away.

The Next Day~

Itachi was standing at the academy waiting for his little brother Sasuke. All around him were women with hearts in their eye's. The students all came running out looking for

their parents.

"Sakura-chan please come here for a moment" Iruka said. Itachi stared at them. When Sakura turned around she had more cuts and bruises on her arms then yesterday.

"Aniki?" Sasuke said walking towards him.

"Sasuke, lets go" Itachi said not looking at him.

"Sorry could you go without me today, I'm going to eat ramen with some friends" Sasuke said. Itachi took his attention from Iruka and Sakura talking to Sasuke. He nodded.

"Tell Mother I'll be home later" he yelled running off. Itachi nodded and waved him goodbye. He then disappeared. Iruka walked back into the classroom and Sakura left. She was

walking through the village, her eye's full of sadness. Her head was hung low. Itachi then appeared in front of her. Of course being little Sakura she didn't see or notice him.

Sakura bumped into him and fell to the ground.

"Ow" she said. "I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was go-"

"Sakura-san why did Iruka keep you?" Itachi asked. Sakura raised her head up and stared at him. He lowered his hand waiting for her to grab it. After it was clear she wasn't he

kneeled down in front of her. "Where did you get those cuts?" he asked. That's when Sakura snapped out of it.

"I fell, What are you doing here?" she asked. Itachi smirked a little.

"I don't believe you" he said. Sakura's eye twitched. She jumped up and grabbed Itachi's hand dragging him along. Surprising for him, he let her. Sakura took him to the training

grounds. She put her bag by a tree.

"Follow me" she said. Itachi nodded and did as he was told. Sakura went through bushes, over fallen tree's to a place that was deserted. Sakura stopped in front of a giant

bush.

"This is my secret place, so you can't show anyone, got it?" she said turning towards him. Itachi nodded. "Pinky promise?" Sakura held out her pinky. Itachi held his out and

they pinky promised. Sakura went through the bushes with Itachi following. When Itachi came out he froze. He looked all around, there was a small pond, that was sparkling

blue, sun rays shining through the tree's, the grass all had flowers on it. It was truly beautiful and even better since it was secluded.

"I get these scratches coming through, those are thorn bushes" Sakura said sitting down. She grabbed a branch and started pulling some berries off. "Here" she said holding

out her hand. Itachi walked to her and sat down. She smiled and they started talking. Ever since that day, Itachi and Sakura always hung out together, for the whole year.

A Year Later (Before the Massacre)~

It was a big even in the Uchiha compound. Itachi had just turned 13 and also made it in Anbu. His mother, decided to throw a party for him, just to celebrate his birthday, but

his father took the chance to boast about Itachi. His mother invited everyone that was there. Itachi didn't know hardly any of them.

'It's a cool night' he thought while leaning on his balcony.

"Itachi-san" a voice said. He turned around recognizing the voice. He saw Sakura standing there, wearing a pretty white dress, with her pink hair tied in a pretty bun. Her eye's

stood out the most, reflecting her beauty. Sakura walked to him and stood beside. She leaned on the rail. Itachi did the same.

"It's a nice night" she said. Itachi nodded. They both heard some music playing and turned to see it. Apparently it was a slow dance.

"Itachi!" his mother yelled. Itachi sighed. Sakura only giggled.

"She's going to make you dance with someone" Sakura said winking at Itachi.

"Hn" Itachi walked away from Sakura and into the crowd. Sakura watched his retreating form. A few minutes had passed by and Sakura went in. She was circling the crowd,

just watching all the couples dancing. Of course they were like 2 or 3 years older than her but to her, they all looked happy. Sakura then spotted Sasuke. He was dancing, with

his mother. Sakura covered her mouth, blocking her laughing. His face looked pained. Then she spotted Itachi. He was dancing with some girl with long black hair and black

eye's. *Must be in the Uchiha Clan* Inner said. Sakura mentally nodded. Sakura smiled to herself and left. She headed to the only place she felt at peace. Itachi was looking all

around.

'Where did she go?' he thought. Of course he was looking at Sakura. He saw her covering up her laughing at Sasuke, but he had turned to twirl his partner. When he looked

back, she wasn't there. That's when Itachi felt something in his heart. The song ended and he left his partner respectfully. He then disappeared.

Sakura was sitting on the small ledge. She had took her heels off, and put her feet in the water. She stared up at the sky, the moon light was reflecting on the water, causing it

to sparkle. This place was magical. She heard a twig snap and turned around. Itachi was staring at her with his red sharringan eye's.

"Itachi? What are you doing here? Your missing your birthday" Sakura said standing up. Itachi grabbed her hand and pulled her close.

"Itachi?"

"I didn't get to dance with you" he said softly. Sakura nodded and they started dancing slowly. They danced like that for about 10 minutes. They both stared into each other's

eyes.

"Oh Itachi your present" Sakura said smiling. She walked over to the ledge and picked up her small purse. She pulled out a small box and gave it to him. "Don't open it here,

wait till your alone" Sakura said. Itachi nodded. It was quiet for a moment.

"Well, I guess I should be heading back home" she said. Sakura walked to Itachi and kissed him on the cheek. She smiled at him. "Happy Birthday Itachi" she whispered and

left. Itachi opened the box revealing a necklace with three circles on it. He smirked and put it around his neck. A week had gone by and Itachi killed his family. That night when

everyone was sleeping, he made a stop to a small house. He climbed through the window and walked to the bed. Sakura was sound asleep. He bent down and kissed her gently

on the lips. Sakura opened her eye's and no one was there.

'Was I dreaming?' she thought. She shook her head and laid back down. She sighed then closed her eyes going back to sleep.
