Prologue
The sound of heavy footsteps hitting the ground, the dropping rain from the cloudy skies, "I can't go any further..." Sakura yells, falling to the ground, Sasuke desperately looks back, "Look at me...I'll come back for you. I'm going on ahead just because we need to keep this information safe, but right now I need you to understand I'm not leaving you. I love you Sakura. Please wait for me." Sasuke disappears among the many shadows of trees, empty silence, then the sharp sound of blinding speed.
Sakura whimpers, crawling backwards hitting the tree with her bare back, beautiful crimson red Kimono ripped into shreds. The ANBU did a number on them, and now she meets this bitter fate.
The piercing sharp sounds empty into the forest, but then standing before her, holding a kunai near her neck, mask covering half his face. She didn't know, but they did a number on them as well, Sakura silently cries, praying for someone to save her life, but they can't kill her, they won't. She's a valuable subject for their employer, there's no way...
The knife digs into her skin, sounds of ripping fresh flesh, too shocked to move or notice the pain, "Let me go...please, I beg of you. I don't want to die, please someone, please...save me."
That's when another sharp sound, more sharper than the sound before enters the forest and with a quick slash, the ANBU's body rips half apart, "Sasuke!" Sakura smiles, reaching out hopefully for her hero, but then notices it's not Sasuke, but someone else.
"Who are you...?" Sakura asked, wide eyed. The cold blooded hero looks back at her, and she forces her to conceal her scream, "Yo-you're Itachi, but I thought you died..." she could see his eyes, dripping blood and the pain he perfectly hid. She wouldn't have noticed it if she hadn't been taking medical-nin lessons from Tsunade.
"Sasuke killed you..." the ghostly figure that shouldn't be alive remains silent, slowly, but surely walking to Sakura and every step he took felt like rocks dropping unto her soul, "Please, you can't do this. I didn't have anything to do with your death." she pleads, but the evil spirit mercilessly brings out his blade and launches it at Sakura.
She closes her eyes, saying her final farewell, but the blade does not touch her, nor does she feel any hostility. The tight ropes tying her hands behind her releases and she heals her torn up legs, noticing her naked breast. She covers herself, and blushes, trying to hide it, but Itachi didn't care. He took off his jacket which has the signs of the Akatsuki and covers her with it.
"Take care of my brother..." he whispers to her ears and in that instant, disappears into nothingness.
