Summary: What if Sakura had known Itachi before he left and had been on his team? How would Sasuke react to finding that out? 'I cared for him and he cared for me. He watched my back and I watched his. I killed for him and he slaughtered for me.' Sas/Sak Ita/Sak
Thoughts
Chapter 3: Sakura's House
Sakura sighed in annoyance as she walked upstairs to her room. She had a headache from all the questions she had been asked and the fact that she had just returned from a mission didn't help either. She was sweaty and bloody and her clothes had small tears in them from the fight.
'Itachi.' She thought as she went to her dresser and pulled out some fresh clothes.
The idiot just had to go and say that, calling her by the nickname he had given her. He knew it would raise suspicion, she knew that he knew that but he did it anyway.
'Why?'
Why had he said that when he knew she would be questioned from her teammates about it? Now she was being forced to lie to not only her sensei but her friends as well as her boyfriend.
'Poor Sasuke-kun. He must think I betrayed him or something.'
She felt bad about it. She couldn't tell him or anyone else just yet about how she knew Itachi. She didn't even understand why she couldn't tell them. It was just something that her mind was telling her to do. At least that's what she thought. She knew the underling reason why she didn't want to tell them how she knew him because that would lead to what happen to them in the past which would lead to the one thing that she never wanted to discuss.
'The Uchiha Massacre.'
She gave a light laugh as it went threw her mind. She remembered every detail of it as if it were yesterday and in some horrific days it was. She shuddered involuntarily as she recalled some of her past dreams. No, not dreams, nightmares. Nightmares that were really her past. They plagued her, not constantly, but enough for her to know that they were there and they weren't leaving any time soon.
She couldn't tell anyone what had happened that day, for if she did she would be condemn the same as Itachi.
'An S-class criminal.'
She snorted. As if she weren't one already. They just didn't know that she was. No one knew except for Itachi and one village that she was banished from for all eternity. She gave another sighed as she walked into her bathroom and started the bath. Grabbing a towel from the closet she placed it on the side of the glass door that surrounded the bathtub. She slipped off her clothes and just as she was about to step in the shower, she heard the door to her bedroom open.
It was only when Neji and Tsunade entered her vision that she remembered.
She had not closed the bathroom door.
Neji's mouth was agape and his eyes were wide while Tsunade had long sinced turned around. Sakura's face flushed red as she slammed the door shut in anger and embarrassment. Neji snapped out of his trance and turned a dark shade of pink as he walked over to a chest at the foot of the bed and sat down on it.
Sasuke and Naruto had just come up the stairs when they heard the slamming of a door. Curious, they picked up their pace as they went to Sakura's bedroom. Sasuke walked in and saw Tsunade sitting on the bed while Neji was red faced sitting on a chest.
"Did we miss something?" Naruto asked as he looked at Neji. Tsunade gave a laugh and nodded while Neji scowled.
"Yeah, Sakura in her birthday suit." She replied and Sasuke's Sharingan turned on automatically as his eyes narrowed and anger flared.
"What?" He stated as calm as he could which wasn't very calm at all.
"We walked into her bedroom and heard the shower, so we thought that the door would be closed so we just walked forward. Well, it wasn't and we saw a naked Sakura, well Neji did, I immediately turned around but Neji there got an eye full." Tsunade told him and Sasuke's eyes were immediately on Neji.
"Damn! Why do I always miss the good things?" Naruto complained, earning a glare from Sasuke and causing him to turn towards him. He laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head.
"Hehe just kidding teme." He said as he sat down on the bed next to Tsunade.
Just as Sasuke was about to say something, the door to the bathroom opened, revealing a pink robe covered Sakura.
"May I ask what the hell all of you are doing in my house?" Sakura asked, her voice filled with anger and annoyance.
"Tell me about the Uchiha." Tsunade commanded as she stood up.
"For the last time I have nothing to say about Uchiha Itachi and I never will."
"Sakura, I know you too well. Your lying I can see it. Just tell me what you know about him, and how you meet him and I will leave you alone."
"And if I refuse?"
"My last threat still stands." Tsunade answered and Sakura rolled her eyes. There was no way in hell that she would do that to her, her one and only apprentice.
"I know no more about him than you do, Tsunade." She replied to her and her sensei's eyes narrowed.
"Bullshit."
"Sakura-chan, why can't you just tell us?" Naruto asked her and she looked at him, and saw his bright blue eyes filled with curiosity, as well as a bit of hurt and sadness. She looked away, she didn't like hurting him. She didn't like hurting any of them but she couldn't tell them. She couldn't.
"I can't alright? I just can't! Not now. Will you please just leave?" She told him and Tsunade looked at her.
"When you are ready than?"
"Yes."
"Within a month." Tsunade stated, not asking but commanding.
"What?"
"Within a month's time you will tell us or I will do what I threatened to do before. Understood?"
"Whatever. Bye." Sakura said as she walked back into the bathroom, once again slamming the door behind her.
"Let's go and leave her alone for a while." Tsunade said as she walked towards the door. When she realized no one was following her she turned back around.
"NOW!!" She told them and they all started for the door, however, Sasuke stopped and took a glance back at the bathroom door.
"Uchiha," He turned towards her, "You may stay." She said before turning on her heels and leaving, following behind Naruto and Neji.
Sasuke sighed as he laid down on the bed and waited for Sakura to come out of the bathroom. He didn't have to wait long for she came out around ten minutes later, in nothing but a white towel. She looked a bit surprised to see him.
"Sasuke I didn't know you were still here. What are you still doing here?" She asked him as she went to where her clothes were, on the edge of the bed. He sat up, swinging his legs over the side of the bed as he stood.
"My brother…."
"Sasuke I do not want to speak about him."
"Sakura he killed my parents, destroyed my clan, my childhood, my life. I need to know." Sasuke said to her, his voice almost pleading but she knew better, Uchiha's never pleaded.
"Sasuke, believe me, it's better if you don't."
"What? Why?"
"Because it is, now I have to go change." She said before walking back towards the bathroom door, only to be stopped by Sasuke.
"What do you mean that it's better than I don't know?"
"Sasuke, please. I don't want to talk about it."
"Sakura, I need to know. I need to avenge my clan."
"I know what he did Sauske, stop telling me."
"No you don't, Sakura! You didn't see the bodies! You didn't see the walls covered in blood. You weren't there, Sakura!" He shouted, his temper getting the better of him.
"You don't know how wrong you are, Uchiha." Sakura replied before she could stop herself. Sauske looked at her with shock. She cursed inwardly. She shouldn't have said that.
"What?"
"Nothing. Just drop it and let me go get dressed."
"No, I want to know what you mean."
"I didn't mean anything."
"Than why'd you say it?"
"I don't know. Now will you please get out so I can get dressed." Sakura asked him and he sighed. He knew there was no way he was going to get any information from his girlfriend unless she wanted to tell him.
It didn't stop him from being annoyed and angry with her, however. She had information on the man who slaughtered his entire clan. The man he had wanted to kill since the day he had seen his parents motionless bodies on the floor surrounded in a pool of their own blood.
He turned from her and briskly walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him, with so much force that the top and bottom hinge broke.
Sakura scowled in annoyance as she watched her door break.
'Damn Uchihas and their stupid temper.' She inwardly cursed as she made a mental note to get the door fixed.
She shook her head as she went to her closet and pulled out identical clothes to the one she wore when she was fifteen, only bigger. She quickly tossed them on and was about to exit her closet when she stopped.
She pulled her clothes apart in the middle and walked past them, where a hidden door laid. She slid it open and looked at what laid behind it. On the wall, held by hooks, was a black cloak with red clouds.
