Recap.
"I know what will happen! I'm more concerned right now about her living up to turn 18, which happens to be in four days…." She said with an even greater expression.
Jiraya was shocked to know that which only made him even more worried.

Sakura heard the door unlock. It must already be morning…
Itachi stepped into the room. "Morning. Have you decided yet, Cherry Blossom?" he smirked.

Chapter 12: Cherry Blossom Secret
Tsunade couldn't sleep knowing Itachi had taken Sakura. She walked up and down the Hokage's tower all night. The sun was already up.
"Tsunade." Jiraya said. "Tsunade" she still didn't answer. "TSUNADE!!" he yelled.
"AHHH!" she screamed. "Jiraya, do you want to scare me to death! Geez, don't ever do that again!"
"Alright, calm down. It's just that I was thinking… You said Sakura is going to turn 18 in about three days (A/N It was four days, but it already passed one. xD) but on her file its written that she will online be turn 18 years old in three months." He asked concerned.
"Do I have do explain everything? Sakura was found in a basket. She only had her clothes, a shinobi arm badge near her head with Konoha's symbol and a piece of paper that said her name: Sakura, and her birth date. Once the elders realized who she was they changed her birthday so it would be harder to track her down. Understand?" Tsunade explained. "Her real birthday is in three days."
"I get it now." Jiraya had finally understood everything. So she's the girl from the legend. She's the Cherry tree that will bloom eighteen years after its birth… The prophecy says that her powers will be unleashed and that she will be feared and worshiped. She will bring hope or doom. She will have the power to control men and creatures. All eyes will be at her control… I wonder what powers the prophecy refers to… Can she control the eyes of the Sharingan, the Byakugan and the Rinnegan? (A/N: If you don't know what is the Rinnegan I suggest you read Naruto Manga number 373 you will find it at How powerful is she??

Sai, Hinata, Yamato, Naruto and Sasuke where still in search for Sakura. The farther they got from the Hidden Leaf Village the fewer tracks they found.
Damn it! I should have been at her side… I should have protected her! I should have never left her alone. This is all my fault… Sakura… please hang on… I'm coming. Sai couldn't stop thinking about her. I hope your ok…
Flashback
(A/N: Chapters 7 and 8)
"Do you love her?" Ino asked trying to hold the tears that were forming.
"What is love?" Sai finally answered her with another question.
"Are you serious? You don't know what love is?" Ino was now holding herself from bursting into laughter.
"I don't remember feeling love before… but I like her… I would give my life for her and right now my only goal is to see her happy." He told her trying to avoid her eyes that were now holding tears again.
"Even if she prefers Sasuke are you still going to want to see her happy? Are you going to let her try to be happy with him or are you going to fight (not physically) for her?" she insisted in knowing more.
"If he makes her happy than there is nothing I can do… I won't lie to you… When he came back the thought of seeing her with him frightened me. And when I saw him talking to her after I left her at the park I felt a pain in my chest… It was like my heart was aching. I don't know what it is but I have a bad feeling about why he came back… After all Itachi is still alive.", he said with sad eyes.
"Why do you think he came back?" Ino asked him while staring at the sky.
"I… don't know… But if he hurts Sakura even once I swear he'll pay!" Sai answered holding back his anger.

(A/N: Chapter 9)
Sai and Ino continued almost all the way in silence. It was very awkward but neither of them felt like talking. When they were almost there she spoke. "Did you find out what it is?" she asked.
Sai stopped. "What is what?"
"What love is?" she looked at him. After a little pause she continued talking. "Love is the feeling you have for Sakura…" she forced a smile.
"I don't understand how you can be so sure?" he wasn't understanding why she had brought that up again.
"Earlier when we got back to Konoha I saw it in your eyes… I noticed it in your eyes, you… love her." She began running again.
He stood there for a second than followed her. He was still in shock and her words wouldn't get out of his head… Love… Sakura… can it be possible?
End of Flashback
Sakura… I finally realize it… now that I'm losing you… I know now… I… Love You. Tears were forming in Sai's eyes. I don't care if you and Sasuke get together… all that matters is your happiness… I can bear the fact that you're with another guy but I won't accept your death so you better hold on… I don't know why Itachi took you but be strong… I love you Sakura! Be strong… He was trying to hold his tears back and Naruto noticed that.
"Oi. Baka! Are you ok?" Naruto asked. Even though they fought a lot, Sai was his friend and they too had gotten closer during all these months. Naruto didn't like seeing his friend like this and he knew why Sai was like this. Sakura… (A/N: Baka is Japanese for Stupid)
Sai nodded. "Yeah… Naruto?! Let's find her, ok?!"
"Ooh we will find her! Believe it!!" Naruto said confidently all though inside he wasn't so sure…
Sasuke watched Naruto and Sai closely. I can't believe Naruto is friends with this loser! Why did he come along anyway? We don't need him! Sasuke was even more jealousy as flashes of Sakura in that couch kissing Sai passed through his mind.

After a long time in silence Sakura finally answered Itachi. "I'll do it but I have some conditions too."
"Like what? You're lucky I'm willing to spare your life!" Itachi responded.
"Do you want to hear my conditions or do you prefer getting blind?" She smirked. No way was that Uchiha going to tell her what to do. If he wanted to play a game then she was willing to play by the rules.
"Aa. What are you condition's Cherry Blossom?" Itachi felt like choking her to death but he needed her.
"Fist: You leave Naruto! You will never harm him or try to capture him again! Second: You never hurt Sasuke. Third: You will never harm any of my friends, sensei or Sai! Fourth: You will never even go near Konoha again. And Fifth: You get me some books about eye healing, and especially about Sharingan, I need to study before I try to heal your eyes." She said all at once.
"My my… You sure are hard to please. I'll see what I can do." He got closer to her. "Let me just remind you that you are in no condition to be asking all those things." He smirked and left.

She sure thought well about her conditions. I guess I have underestimated her again. And she sure has gotten beautiful. There's something about her that is strange…. Her past hides something… a mystery and I think I might as well find out what it is… Sasuke tsk tsk… how could you leave a girl like that, little brother? Itachi thought to himself.

-
Naruto, Sasuke… Sai! I'm doing this for you guys. I hope you are all ok… Oh how I miss you Naruto, Ino… Sai… Sakura was convinced she had to do this, not for her but for her friends and for Konoha. Curing Itachi's eyes could be the salvation of Naruto and Konoha.

Itachi opened Sakura's room door and walked in carrying a pile of books. "I found these lying around and this one" he pointed to a book. "is from my personal collection, it's the only one I found about Sharingan."
"Personal collection? It's hard to picture you as the reading type of guy!" She laughed. "I would classify you as the idiot type!"
He looked at her. "Funny, am laughing inside!" He turned away. "I'll leave you alone so you can concentrate. If you need anything just yell my name."
"ITACHI!" she yelled.
"What?" He turned back at her holding himself. He wanted to strangle her so bad.
"Well you told me to yell if I needed something. Have you forgotten how many hours I've been here? A girl's gotta eat!" she looked at him smiling.
"Fine, I'll make you something to eat." He then left.
No one is going to believe I made Itachi make me some food. The feared Itachi making me some food, that's so hilarious. She laughed at her thought. She began reading some of the books and didn't even see time pass by.
A few minutes later Itachi got into her room carrying a food tray. Sakura looked up at him holding her laughter back when she let a book fall. She got up and bent down to pick it up.
Itachi saw that she had a small hole on the back of her shirt. She must have ripped it when she was struggling to get away from me. He smirked then his eyes widened. That mark, I've seen that in a book before… I can't quite remember what it means… Who is she?...
