Izzy: I am now willing to let volunteers do my disclaimer.

Rhinasaur: Can I do it?

Izzy: awwww. Look, Sam! a Rhinasaur!

Sam: OMG A RHINASAUR!

Rhinasaur: Um...Yeah... So Issy111 doesn't own Naruto.

Sam: But why are you here? Michael was supposed to get you for me for Xmas... Its only June!

Rhinasaur: I came here on my own because I love Izzy's stories.

Izzy: Oh Yeah! I have a mystical creature as my fan! Woot!

Rhinasaur: Obviously I'm not a mystical creature, seeing as i'm standing right in front of you.

Izzy:Uh huh. Sure. Whatever. On With the story! Oh wait, change in story! I'm sorry for this confusion. So In the beginning i said that the Uchiha Massacre had never happened. Well It didn't but Itachi left home and joined Akatsuki. Sasuke has tried desperately to find him but he never did.

"What the hell? Why'd you abduct me? And why can't I feel my chakra? Answer! I've had a rough day, this isn't the prefect time for someone to kidnap me. I'm ultra-pissy right now."Sakura yelled at the mysterious figure that had seperated her from Sasuke.

"We knew that if we took that huge group of ninja's only medic-nin, that would stop their search for us. Also, I have blocked all of your chakra openings, disabling your ability to use chakra. Now be quiet." He said in a husky voice, covering her mouth with his hand. Sakura, feeling extremely mad, opened her mouth extra wide, and bit down on the man's hand, right on the web of skin in-between his thumb and index finger.

"AHHHHHHH!" he yelled, cursing a long string of colorful words. Sakura grinned in satisfaction. That would teach him. He walked over and hissed in her ear.

"You're a pretty girl, it would be such a waste to kill you."

"Try me." She snarled. In the blink of an eye, a kunai was up to her neck.

"I don't think you want me to." He chuckled and put the small weapon away. Sakura looked around, trying to absorb her surroundings.

Sasuke POV

"Hey Sakura, having trouble keeping up?" Sasuke laughed. He stopped on a tree branch and turned around. But there was no one behind him. He scanned the trees, trying to find her chakra, but it was nowhere to be found.

"F*ck! How could I lose her?" he re-traced his steps, and felt her chakra faintly on a branch far away. He rushed over to it. Her chakra was there alright, but it was mixed with someone else's. Akatsuki? He flared his chakra.

Sakura POV

"Where are we going?" Sakura asked as the man carried her in his arms, like a giant baby, leaping from tree to tree. Soon, the trees ended and they were running across a flat plain.

"Oh sure, I'm going to tell you." The man laughed. For the first time, Sakura got a good look at his face. She gasped at the resemblance.

"What? Did your friends find me already? Oh, boss is going to be pissed." He laughed again.

"N-no. You just look a lot like...Sasuke...Uchiha..." She stammered, "What's your name?" she inquired.

"Do you really want to know? Are you prepared for the shock and surprise that might give you a heart attack?" The man asked sarcastically.

"Oh, I'm prepared for anything. Getting put on an A-Level mission with 14 other people, 12 of which I just met an hour ago, then assaulted by Sasuke Uchiha and losing my first kiss to him, then fainting, then paired up with him on the mission, and then, to make my day a billion times better, I'm kidnapped. I must be cursed." The pink-haired girl rolled her eyes. He laughed heartily.

"My name is Itachi. Itachi Uchiha."

Sasuke POV

"What do you mean LOST HER? How could you lose her? SHE'S OUR MEDIC-NINJA!" Naruto yelled at Sasuke.

"Relax. It wasn't very long ago, so I'm sure there's a trail. Right Kiba?" Sasuke replied nonchalantly.

"Yup! I'm sure with Akamaru's nose, which is just a bit better than mine, we'll be able to find them quickly." Kiba said happily, with Akamaru already sniffing the tree branch where Sakura had been taken away. He barked and ran off.

Sakura POV

"Uchiha?" Sakura gasped. Itachi chuckled.

"I thought you said you were prepared for this!" He accused jokingly.

"Well, I thought I was! I didn't expect to be kidnapped by Sasuke's freakin brother!"

"Expect the Unexpected, as I always say!"

"But, but... why would you leave your family? You were a child prodigy! With everything you could possibly want!"

"Because I knew my place did not lie in Konaha. I knew my destiny was somewhere else. And Akatsuki was it."

"You're starting to sweat. Maybe we should stop..." Sakura suggested. Itachi smiled a small smile that almost melted Sakura into an oozing little puddle of pink.

"Thought you'd never say that." He said as he slowed down and hopped into a small cave that provided shelter. Deeper into it, a small stream ran, making a mini waterfall. It was the perfect place for a break. As Sakura built a small fire, Itachi left to find some food, like a fish or a bird. He knew that Sakura wouldn't leave. By the time he had returned, there was a fire going with two mats next to it.

"I hope you know that I will not be sleeping. And even if YOU did, there would be barely any time to do it, we don't want to stay too long or we could risk being found."Itachi said as he skewered the fish he caught and set them above the fire. Sakura pouted. She knew she needed sleep and she was certainly not going to get it while in the arms of a human kangaroo.

"Aw. Does someone need a hug?" Itachi asked in a childish voice. Sakura looked at him with raised eyebrows. He was not acting like the man who had threatened to kill her. He was acting sweet and sensitive, as if he were showing her a new side of him...

"Yes. Yes, I do." Itachi got up from his seat on the other side of the fire, sat down next to Sakura and wrapped his arms around her. Sakura sighed with content. To her, this felt so natural. She could stay like this forever. She leaned her head on his broad shoulder, making everything, perfect. She looked up at his face, lit by the fire. He looked down in response. They spoke unspoken words. And before Sakura knew what was happening, she was leaning in and kissing Itachi. She didn't know what came over her but she didn't care. She let her body control itself. Itachi's arms wrapped around her and she wrapped her arms around his neck. She ran her fingers through his hair. This felt so different than kissing Sasuke. This felt... Right. Itachi didn't rush like Temari had warned Sakura guys tend to do or like Sasuke tried to do. He let her control the speed. He didn't care if they went fast as lightning or slow as a slug. As long as they were together like this. Sakura pulled away slowly.

"I love you." Itachi whispered into her ear, tickling it. Sakura snuggled into his arms, never wanting to leave, although she knew eventually she'd have to. Itachi sat there with Sakura in his arms, thinking to himself. He sat up quickly. Sakura looked at him with surprise and a little fear in her eyes.

"What? Is someone coming?" She asked, not wanting to be discovered by anyone. Itachi shook his head and pulled Sakura up off of the ground.

"No, but I've realized that this is the wrong thing to do. You've got to go." He told the medical-ninja. She looked at him with panic on her face.

"Don't you mean We've got to go?"she asked, sure that he had made a mistake.

"No. I mean YOU. I was supposed to take you back to Akatsuki Headquarters but I now know that I couldn't do that." Itachi said as he pushed her to the entrance of the cave, handing her a nicely cooked fish on the way. He faced Sakura to him and lightly kissed her, on the neck, on the forehead, and lastly, on the lips. Sakura realized that he was saying that she go off on her own. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she turned and shot out of the cave, leaving Itachi all alone, with his black coat blowing in the wind. She promised, that she would never look back.

Izzy: Well?

Itachi: Why'd you separate me from my dearest Sakura?

Izzy: You know why.

Itachi: Oh for that plot twist that you wrote in your writing journal?

Izzy: Yup! No one is allowed to reveal it.

Sasuke: Not even me?

Izzy: Especially you, Sasuke.

Naruto: Me?

Izzy: You're almost as much of a loud mouth as Ino! No way. Besides, I didn't even show you whats gonna happen! You or Ino. I know I couldn't trust you.

Sasuke: *whispers into Naruto's ear*

Naruto: *eyes widen* NO WAY. I'M NOT GOING TO-

Izzy: SHUT UP! No telling!

Naruto: But I don't want to-

Rock Lee: Ha! In your face! I got her!

Naruto: I hate you, Izzy. You're making me so miserable in this.

Izzy: Don't worry. You can always go to Orochimaru! He's going to too.

Naruto: Ew. No way. He's so pale and gross and mean.

Orochimaru: What was that you said about me?
