Chapter 2-seeing sakura
Shitaka headed down to the shopping area to find Sakura.But instead of finding Sakura,She found Shikamaru.Shikamaru gasped when he spotted her. "Y-y-YOU!"he shouted. He started to breathe hard. "What?You can't stand a girl?"Shitaka smiled. "I thought you got slaughtered,"said Shikamaru,"But how did you servive?" "I escaped with the help of my mother!"answered Shitaka happily. But she tried to hide the sadness inside.Shikamaru guest that she was still feeling sadness. "Heh,you don't have to hide it.I know your sad."he said. Shitaka looked at him with her eyes wide open. "How did you know?"asked Shitaka. "Oh,I was just guessing."answered Shikamaru. Shitaka looked down.Shikamaru thought what to say. "Shitaka,don't feel down like that.We're here as your family."said Shikamaru. Shitaka looked back up at Shikamaru. "Thanks,that helps."Shitaka said. "I'm also guessing you didn't come down here to meet me,did you?"Shikamaru asked. "Yeah,i'm looking for Sakura."answered Shitaka. "Hmmm,I last saw her near the fruit section."added Shikamaru. Shitaka walked off.When she turned two courners,she met up with someone else.Shitaka gasped in the sight of Neji.Neji stopped dead in the sight to. "What?!Shitaka,your...here..."sighed Neji. "I know what your thinking,I'm standing right in front of you?"Shitaka said. Neji kept looking.Suddenly,someone came around the courner. "Neji,why did you walk off like that?"asked Tenten. Then,Tenten also stopped in the sight of Shitaka. "Are you guys gonna speak or what?"growled Shitaka. Neji opened his mouth. "Shitaka,how did you escape?asked Neji. Shitaka's eye twitched a little.She's realizing she might answer this question to everybody that ask.She answered anyway. "Well,my mom helped me escape,."said Shitaka."And I'm just getting back."she added. "Ooooh Shitaka,I remembered when I came over to your house.It was so nice over there!"Tenten smiled. "Sorry guys,I'm looking for Sakura.I can't talk for long." Shitaka ran passed Neji and Tenten,and headed down an ally.For some reason,Sakura was no where to be seen.She then had an idea to visit her home,so off she went.
KNOCK KNOCK!Shitaka knocked on the door.The door creeked slid slowly open. "Hello?"whispered a familier,but sad voice. It was Sakura. "Sakura its me,Shitaka."she said. "Shitaka?!"gasped Sakura.
flashback
Shitaka and Sakura were under a tree in Sakura's backyard. "Sakura."asked Shitaka. "Hmmm?"she said. "What do you think about Sasuke?"Shitaka asked. Sakura looked into the sky and smiled.She finally answered. "I think of him as a cutie looking for someone special in his life!And since your from his clan,your gonna help me!"answered Sakura. Shitaka smiled back. "Heh,I don't think he'll let just anybody into his life."said Shitaka. Sakura looked puzzled. "Then how did he accept you?"Sakura asked. "Uh,I don't know.Maybe the fact im in the same clan as him."Shitaka answered. Sakura looked back at the sky. "Well then,why don't you tell him I want to be accepted!"she laughed. Shitaka laughed,too.
Sakura looked at her a little longer. Shitaka put a smile on her face. "Hello Sakura."Shitaka greeted. Sakura started to speak. "Shitaka,where the hell have you been?!"shouted Sakura. Then she stopped. "Wait,how did you escape then?"added Sakura. Shitaka got back up after being knocked on the ground. "By the brave efforts of my mom,"answered Shitaka."She put her life on the line to save me." "Oh,don't be in.I was left to watch the house alone."Sakura smiled. She tried to keep Shitaka happy.Afterwards,Sakura and Shitaka were sitting under the same tree Sakura had back then. "You heard about Sasuke right?"Shitaka asked. "Yeah,I have."answered Sakura. She started to feel a little down herself. "Well,I was talking to Naruto about Sasuke.He said Orochimaru gave him a curse mark,"said Shitaka."I think he's with him right now." Sakura looked back up. "Maybe someday we'll bring him back.He can't run forever."put in Sakura. Shitaka thunk to herself. "I wonder how he might responds when he sees me."she thought. Sakura suddenly had an idea. "Hey Shitaka!I bet Ino would like to see you."Sakura smiled. "Ino?Ino Yamanaka?"said Shitaka. Sakura bobbed her head up and down. "C'mon!Let's go!"rushed Sakura. She pulled Shitaka along with her. "Hey,you don't have to be so rushy!"shouted Shitaka. Over some miles across the land,the akatsuki were doing some business. Itachi and Kisame were walking somewhere to find some food. "Itachi,whats on your mind?"asked Kisame. He asked this multiple times on their journey,but Itachi never answered. "Aw c'mon Itachi!Why don't you just tell ol' Kisame whats on your mind."Kisame said. Itachi finally answered. "I need to do some business."he said in a low voice. Kisame just stared at him. "But the boss said to also take this time to look for demons in humans while were finding some food,"said Kisame."So you probably don't have time to do business-"Kisame was interrupted. "Kisame,don't be curious.That annoys me."Itachi said. Kisame shut his mouth.He knew how strong Itachi was.But Kisame couldn't keep his mouth closed. "What type of business are you going to do?"Kisame asked. Itachi stopped.Kisame slightly bumped into him.Then he turned around with a mad look on his face. "Okay,I'm sorry!"begged Kisame. Itachi turned back around and mumbled something. "You talk to much."he said. Kisame just did a 'heh' and went on their way.
