ADMITTING TO LOVE:

Part eight: The ANBU mission.

"Sakura!"

The pink haired girl walked through a dark street, when she neared the end she turned, looking in his deep onxy eyes.

"Sakura." He whispers intense.

She smiled and turned into another street, knowing the boy will follow her, so she fasten her walk.

"Please stop I……I love you." He screamed at the girl.

"…..."

She stopped, looked at him, like she's trying to remember him. Her mouth opened, her lips moved but there was no sound.

From another dark alley a well know figure appeared.

"Sakura get out of there! He'll kill you." He ran towards her but a few feet away he stopped.

"Hey, little brother." Itachi said as he touched Sakura's soft skin. She smiles at his touch and turns her head to his. Her head was so close to his, Sasuke couldn't breath. What's happening? He's looked at the two in front of him. No this can't be. But was, her lips met his. He saw Itachi putting his hands around her waist, pulling her body to his. After some time they stop to get some air.

"Foolish little brother. Did you really think you could get her?" Itachi laughed and looked into her jade eyes. "You can't give her what I can. She wants me not a weakling that couldn't even find her."

She opened her mouth, lips are forming words, on wings of air they flied to his ear.

"Your weak." It echoed through his mind as he closed his eyes. Weak? Yes, I'm still weak. He opened them again, looking straight into her green jade eyes. He could see some pain, hate, fear, but no love. His emotions walked him to her.

Itachi watched him move to Sakura who was still in his arms. He let go and walked away. "Come Sakura, we're going."

"No Sakura, you belong here, in Konoha, in team 7." Sasuke whispered in her ear. He could see her anger.

"Your weak." She says in his face, with a evil smile she turned away.

"Sakura don't let me repeat myself." Itachi said as he walked away. The girl ran after him, when she walked next to him he putted an arm around her waist and they vanish in the dark alley.

"Sakura?" He whispers.

"No, it's Ino." A girl voice answered.

"Ino?" He asked still asleep.

"Yes, wake up already, we have a mission." She was getting bored. She has been calling him for half an hour and he still didn't waked up. In his sleep he mumbled a name she was familiar with.

Opening one eye, he looked around the room. Ino sat on a chair across the room. He opened the second one. Now he saw the sun was already up. He graphed his alarm and looked at the time. "10.24?" He moaned in surprise. When he got out of bed he remembered the dream. " Sakura." He sighed.

The blonde girl left him in his room to chance. She made her way to the kitchen and took a glass of milk. Years ago she took Sakura's place in team 7, and even when team 7 split up she looked after Sasuke. She felt it was her unspoken commitment to Sakura.

When they split up Naruto became an ANBU soldier. She smiled at the thought. He took his old team to there usually pub, and when Ino asked why, he told the news. They were pretty drunk and laughed all the way home. After some months they too became ANBU. Both where placed in the same team, and this afternoon they both were called in for an imported meeting. But clearly Sasuke forgot.

"Are you ready?" She asked when she finished her glass. Sasuke moaned something she didn't understand. "Well?" She raised a eyebrow. What's taking him so long?" By these thoughts Sasuke walked into the kitchen full dressed in his ANBU outfit. She looked amazed. He looked so handsome and strong in that outfit. She hated Sakura for just a moment. He never looked at girls and when she knocked him out of bed he always called for Sakura.

"Let's go." He said and walked to the door but stopped. Ino almost bumped in him. She looked at him and saw his staring at the picture of the former team 7. Her hair so pink, a smile so friendly, her eyes full of love. In his dream it all was gone. Her hair still lightly pink, no friendly smile and worsted of all no love in her eyes. From the first till the last moment he say her she always smiled, her eyes full of love, but that dream. Did it mend something?

"Were going to be late Sasuke." She said as she slide her fingers down his spine. She just had to touch him once in a while. She still loved him, but she knew he would never love her back. She never spoke about her feelings, knowing if she did, it would break there friendship. He got used to it but that didn't mend he liked it. If she was Sakura he would loved her touch, but Sakura was no more. He knew Ino still loved him although she never spoke about it. She knew what happened at the last training of the original team 7. So he figured she wouldn't do anything and he was right. Sometimes she touched him by placing her hand on his or just as she did now slide her fingers down his spine. But that was all.

Sasuke walked out of the door followed by Ino, he locked the door and they walked to the ANBU headquarters. Half way Ino stopped. "Your dreamed about her didn't you." She asked looking in his dark eyes. His hair fell over his head proctor and it needed a cut, but in the same time it gave him a cool look, that fitted him.

He raised his head and looked into the blue eyes. He nodded and looked away, knowing he hurt her confirming this. She got closer to him and put her head against his chest. She looked so vulnerable and put her hands around him, pulling him closer.

"I did to." She cried a little. It was not like Ino to cry in public but here she was, with the one she loved, the one she could never have. Her tears fell down on his black sleeveless shirt, making the fabric stick to his chest. After a few minutes she let go of him looking a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I..mhh I was just." She moved her head away.

He saw she was embarrassed and his hand made her look into his eyes. Her red eyes full of pain and love in the same time. He knew with one little act he could take a little pain away. Feeling her warm breath shivering his skin, he moved his head towards hers. She knew what he was doing and closed her eyes, as did he. As his lips met her soft ones a mind breaking fight unleashed in his head. What are you doing, what about Sakura? Sakura is dead! Why are you kissing her, you don't know if she's dead. Yes I do, if she wasn't she would be here, shouting at me for kissing her rival. Still you don't love her. God, you love Sakura not Ino. This is Ino not Sakura! He was shocked and pulled his head away, and looked at the blond hair. It's blonde, not pink like it should. "I'm sorry." He said and walked away leaving a confused girl behind.

Ino walked in to the headquarters, finding Sasuke leaning against a wall, like he always did. She looked at him for awhile, but no response. He did noticed her but didn't want to give her falls hope. So this was it. No more friendship, no hope for love. She thought as she looked at the love of her life. He will just ignore me, like before I became a replacement for Sakura. She sat down in a chair. I was just a replacement. She thought while waiting to be called in.

The door opened and a young blond men walked out. He looked in the room and found Sasuke and Ino waiting. "Hey, guy's come in." He said wit a smile. He just got back from his mission and couldn't wait till the next. Both looked a little confused, and walked in.

The room was bigger then it looked. It was full of chair and they found they were the only ones inside. Naruto closed the door and sat behind the desk looking over to the two in front of him. He smiled a little, he already knew they would team up like years ago.

"Uzumaki, you know that's my chair." The Fifth said as she closed the door behind her. She walked to her desk and looked at blond men.

"Yes I know." He still didn't moved and smiled at the old woman.

"Well, get the hell out of it." She yelled in his ear. Sasuke and Ino sweat dropped. Naruto didn't changed a bit, and Ino giggled a little, it made her forget about the kiss.

Finally after the little fight between the Fifth and Naruto, Naruto gave up, and the Fifth fell in her chair. She looked at the three in front of her. "So team 7. It's been a while. Isn't? Well no time for reunion." She said and looked worried at Sasuke.

---------------------------------------

In the afternoon she still felt stupid. Because of her they had to find a new town to work from. At night they left town and now they were in a new one. When they walked through the entrance she had looked at the sign above. Sialso. She whispered as she walked into the small city.

Sialso was a beautiful old city. Only traditional Japanese houses where found here. A little river made it's way through the small city. Nature could be found everywhere. Even around the little square you found some tree's.

People were friendly wen they came in late in the night. A old men showed them the city and found them a motel to stay in.

She walked in the little drugstore the old men showed her last night. Her bandage needed to be changed. The little training from this morning turned out to be a hard one. Itachi got carried away in the fight, like he wanted her to pass out. If Kisame wasn't there to stop him she would have. She smiled a little when she thought about the fight. He had looked at her with a strange smile. She couldn't read his face, what he wanted, but she knew she saw that face before.

"Can I help you miss." A woman friendly asked looking at the young girl in front of her.

"O no, that looks like it hurts." She said when she saw the blooded bandage around her arms and legs.

Sakura smiled and looked at them. It did hurt, but she didn't need to know. "I need to change the bandage, do you have any?" She asked as friendly as she could. The people here looked just to nice. Like the tried to hide something, maybe Sakura was just being paranoid.

"Yes, off course." The lady said and turned her back to Sakura. As the woman searched for the right bandage Sakura looked into the store to find some herbs she needed. Well, she didn't knew if she did, but Kisame said it was important to her. He told her it would heal her from her 'illness'. Although she never knew what was wrong with her. But she took them for more than 2 years and she never got sick so she figured it worked.

"Where it is." The lady said and gave it to Sakura. "Are you sure your going to be fine?" The lady asked with deep concern.

"Yeah, just a few scratches." She smiled and put some money on the counter. When she left she felt awful. She just lied to a person that didn't knew her or what she done, but the woman was concerned about her condition. She woman was right about her concern. The pain flew through her body and before she knew she leaned with her back to a wall. Every muscle hurt, every step she took made it worse. She got dizzy and after awhile she fainted. She heard some voices around her but her eyes wouldn't open.

"Are you okay?" A voice asked.

A hand lifted her head and she felt some water against her lips, she opened her mouth letting the water slide down her throat. She felt someone taking of her bandage. She moaned a bite then a cry op pain flew over her lips. Someone was hurting her. She tried to open her eyes, still the wouldn't open. She felt a cold hand against her skin. It moved up to her legs, where Itachi cut her leg with a kunai. She felt the blood flowing out of the wound.

"It's infected." The voice said and pushed some blood out of it, trying to look how deep the cut was. "This wasn't a accident this is a wound from a fight." The voice said again.

She felt the pain, when the person put something on the wound. After awhile the pain left her body and she finally opened her eyes.

She looked into deep green blue eyes. Some hair fell down her face, a friendly face. It was the woman from the drugstore.

"So you weren't fine. Why didn't you just said you weren't." The woman asked.

"I don't want to be weak." She got out and a tear rolled down her cheek. She never told someone this. Everyone thought she was so strong. She made herself look strong but inside she felt weak. She couldn't fight the tears anymore and she stared crying. The woman took her in her arms, as tears rolled down her cheek. After awhile it were just sobs, and the woman looked at her.

"I'm Yumi by the way." She smiled while looking at the girl who smiled back.

"I'm Sakura." She said as she whipped her tears from her face.

"Well that were a lot of tears for such a pretty young girl." Yumi said and looked at the state the girl named Sakura was in. "Can I ask you something?" She said while looking worried at Sakura.

"I don't know you, but it depends on what." She answered while looking at the woman in front of her. Why do I feel so safe here? How did she made my cry. I never cry when people are around me.

"That herb you bought." Yumi stopped. Should I continue? Does she know what's she's doing? " Do you know what is does?" She got out and waited for an answer.

"Well I know it takes care of my illness." Sakura said and didn't felt that comfortable like just a few minutes ago. "Why do you ask?"

"No, just forget it." Yumi said and stood up. "You should get some rest. The medicine will do his work while you sleep." And she disappeared into another room.

Why is she so nice to me? She doesn't even know me. But she gives me such a nice feeling like I had when I was so called sick. What is my illness anyway. Kisame never told me, but I never really asked. I'll ask when I see him. This was her last thought and she slipped into her sleep.

Her dream wasn't a nice one. It looked real, like she knew the story of this girl. These boy's she hanged with, they were so familiar to her, but there were no names. The eyes of the dark raved boy felt so warm and she felt a little fire burning in her stomach.

She opened her eyes. The nice warm feeling was gone. Like it never been there. She looked around finding Yumi sitting on a chair. She got up and sat down at the end of the bed.

"So you waked up?" Yumi smiled and looked at the girl.

"Yeah I guess I needed it." She looked at the woman. "Why." She asked.

"Why what?" Yumi asked confused, but she knew this question was coming.

"Why did you helped me? Sakura asked while raising her eyebrow.

Yumi didn't liked talking about it but this girl had the right for a explanation. She thought about the best way to tell her the story. "When you walked in you remind me of someone. My daughter. She gone missing when she was young, and I always thought about how she would look these day's. I thought I looked at a ghost. You see Sakura, you look like her. You could almost say she was you twinsis. That pink hair, those green eyes, the pale skin, everything reminded me of her. When I saw your wounds I followed you. I knew with those wounds nobody would get far so I just waited for you to ask for help. But you didn't then I found you lying on the street so I took you home." She sighed a bite. She told a total stranger about her daughter, but it felt in a strange way okay.

Sakura listen intense. How awful it must be for her. Losing her daughter on a young age. She wouldn't have survived. She's probably died. It's so cruel. "I see, but I don't think I'm you daughter Yumi. I'm sorry."

"I know you aren't but it's nice to take care of someone. You feel needed, and that always gives me a good feeling." She smiled at Sakura who was still thinking about the story she just heard.

---------------------------------------

"What's taking her so long?" Kisame asked worried. She just went to the drugstore for some bandage but it's already evening and still no Sakura. Kisame got up and walked to the door.

"She'll be fine. She can take care of herself." Itachi said. He sat in a chair near a window looking to a calm lake near there motel. It made him calm just looking at it. But kisame's footsteps angered him. Kisame was always so worried about her. He knew he went to far this morning but he wanted her so badly.

Kisame opened the door. "I'm going for a drink." He said and didn't wait for response. He walked into the street and closed the door behind him.

Itachi finally felt the calm taking him over. But after 10 minutes the door opened again. "Kisame, make up your mind. Go for a drink or don't" He grumbled.

"Well that's a big insult. What did I do to deserve that." Sakura asked and lied on the couch.

Itachi looked away from the lake and found the girl lying on the couch. His eyes looked at her body. So perfect, it would be a shame to let it go to wasted. He though as he got up. He walked to the couch and kneeled down.

Sakura noticed and opened her eyes, looking straight into his red eyes. "What do you want?" She asked and turned away closing her eyes again.

"You. I want you." He said and graphed her wrist, pulling her near him.

She resisted, but after a little fight she fell of the couch into his arms. Still caught in his eyes she looked at him, she rubbed some hair from his face and smiled a little. He knew this was his chance.

Within a second he laid on top of her and kissed her gently in her neck. He heard her moaned a bit as he continued. After awhile she resisted again and he looked at her. Some fear was seen in her eyes, but the smile remained.

He touched her lips with his finger. She opened her mouth and let his finger in. She sucked it a bit and saw the smile on her teacher. He couldn't help it but smile. He pulled his finger out and kissed her soft lips. He couldn't wait and pushed his tongue in her mouth. She tasted to so good. There was so much passion, and he never wanted it to stop, but he needed to breath, so did she. Both took a breath but Sakura started resisting like a snake. She didn't liked it anymore and pushed him of her.

"What's wrong?" He asked and tried to look serious, but the only thing he felt was his body wanting more.

"It's wrong." She said and walked to her bed. She never though it would happen but tonight it did. He kissed her and she liked it. But something deep inside told her it was wrong. This wasn't the person it was supposed to be with. She thought about the boy from her dream. Those eyes, that feeling and she drifted asleep.

Itachi looked at her. He knew she slept. This chance he blew, but there would be more, and with these thoughts he sat down in his chair. He closed his eyes and listen to her breathing.

---------------------------------------

"Do you know what this means Sasuke?" Ino said as the three of them made there way through the forest.

"Yes off course." He said.

Flashback

The Fifth finally opened her mouth and started talking "Maybe you already heard the gossips. But I think you al should know before I sent you on this mission." She took a moment to take a look at the Uchia infront of her, then she continued. "Some people from the Mist are telling stories about a group that's been assassinating the best nins from there county. It's a small group of three people that makes this mission an ANBU because if three can kill the best nins from the Mist they must be strong. We have some information about two of them. The first one and we think the leader is no one other then Uchia Itachi, that makes the second Kisame, but what we don't know who the third is." She sighed a bit as she saw the anger in Sasuke's eyes.

"I've heard those rumors from Genma." Naruto said and looked worried. Could he speak the name of there missing team member.

"What did he said to you?" The Fifth asked.

Naruto was fighting in his head. Shout he say it. Maybe it would be imported for the mission, maybe not. He diced not to tell them about the pink haired hot one that was the last one of the group. He would upset the whole room. " Well just what you just said."

"Well, it's your mission to kill them. They might come to Konoha, they were last seen leaving the city Lurea. There will you mission start. Be careful guy's. The are S-ranked." She gave a fake smile.

When they were gone she walked to the window. Ggm team 7, well not the real team 7. If only you could be here. They would be so happy, but you dead, although I still find it hard to believe it.

End Flashback.

"So you finally get your revenge Sasuke." Naruto smiled and stopped. " I think we'll be sleeping here for the night. Sasuke search for a river. Ino you clear the area." Naruto ordered. Both nodded and went of. Naruto thoughts gone wild. What if it's Sakura? Would she remember us? Off course she will remember Sasuke. She loved him from the beginning. That doesn't just vanish, right?

"I found a river just a few minutes from here." Sasuke said and pointed in the direction.

"Area clear." Ino said as she caught up.

"We'll make a camp near the river." Sasuke said and took his bag from his back.

After 6 minutes the camp was ready. Three tents near the river around a camp fire. Ino found some tree stumps to sit on and placed it near the campfire. They all sat around the fire and Ino and Naruto started a mindless conversation. Sasuke was bored and went to sleep.

"Sakura." He sighed as he fell asleep.
