Demons, Weasels, and ramen

Chapter Two: Itachi meet Itachi?

A few months have passed since Sakura's new friendship with a certain boy named Itachi. She didn't see him the rest of the summer and now its fall. The girl has lost hope in playing outside and resumed staying in doors most of the days till a knock on the door brought her to life. Her head turned towards the noise checking the door and watched the red head woman get up from the table to answer it.

Sakura didn't bother going to see who the visitor was and listened in on the conversation from at the table. Was her ears deceiving her? It sounds just like Itachi's mother! Now she couldn't run over and scream her love for him so early that would destroy their relationship status. She stayed still sitting on the cushion and froze when the voices came closer into the main room.

"You must try this new herbal tea Mikoto. It's delicious."

"I'm sure it is Akane." Mikoto looked around the room and spotted some one. "Ah, your the girl my son was talking about."

Her mother spoke for her. "Yes, she told me about him months ago and hasn't seen him since then."

"That's because my husband trains him everyday after he comes home from going on missions with his team."

"Ooh, he graduated so early."

"Yes he did. Isn't my son a natural born shinobi?"

"Of course he is. Now where is he right now?"

"Out running errands, I'm sure you'll see him again."

The pinkett slumped down into her chair. Keeping one friend was difficult as hell. Sakura drowned out the conversation floating about in the air between the adults and kept her attention out the window. Her eyes glistened in delight, there was a weasel in the tree! She got out the house into her back yard and moved her head up into the sky watching the animal struggle to keep its balance on the branches.

"Don't worry Itachi I'll save you." Sakura said and began climbing the tree. She got to the top and reached out for a long sturdy weasel with brown like fur almost the same color as the tree in her back yard. The girl twisted her body around and gazed around the whole entire area in astonishment.

"Wow, we sure are high up."

"Who are you talking to?"

Sakura jolted and tumbled down off the tree heading for her death with the weasel. Itachi caught her just in time and kept her in his arms bridal style taking note of when two slim figures were standing near the door frame.

"Wow, what a romantic scene huh Akane?"

"Yes it is."

"Mother.." Itachi groaned like a PMSing female.

"Oh Itachi, I thought I was a goner." The pinkett cried into his chest.

"Come on Sakura, let's have some tea. Maybe that will take you off your almost dying experience." Spoke Akane in a soft quiet voice.

"Okay.." She sniffed and got off the boy and got grabbed by the arm. "What is it?"

"Your arm, it's bleeding."

Sakura looked at her impaled arm and grinned. "I can manage. This usually happens to me all the time."

Itachi got curious and touched her wound. His eyes widened in amazement when the bleeding stopped and molded into her skin healing the cut miraculously. The boy kept still and watched her leave his side and head into the house. His mother and her mother were standing near the door signing deeply in merriment.

The boy stood there with a frown on his face. "Why are you two meddling in our affairs?"

"Who me?" Mikoto asked in false shock. "Couldn't be!" she sang and walked into the house.

"Ugh, how annoying.."

When Itachi got into the house he noticed something odd. "What's that?"

"Itachi, meet Itachi."

The boy's right eye twitched. "His name is Itachi too?"

"So you won't be confused, his name will be Itachi number two while you will be Itachi number one. Better?"

"I guess.."

"Sakura dear,say good bye okay? They're leaving now." Akane said to the girl.

"Aw, already?" she pouted.

"Don't worry, you'll see each other again real soon." Mikoto smiled. "Come along Itachi, were leaving."

He gave her a sympathetic look of worry and left out the door with his mother. Sakura slumped in her chair once more dreading the day she was born and watched a plate of cookies and milk be placed in front of her by the older woman serving them.

"I didn't know that you like the Uchiha Prodigy."

Sakura sat up and took a cookie off the plate. "Prodigy? What's a prodigy?"

"Well, they study very hard and try to perform at their best." Akane said slowly while stirring her tea with a spoon."I hope you will be doing the same when you enter the academy."

"Really? When?"

"In four years."

"Aw, man. That's too far.." Sakura groaned then scratched Itachi on it's furry chin. "I'll just train my self for the future."

Those were her words of a new world order designed for her and her alone. She started on the newly established quest just today, a day after her second gathering with Itachi and his mother. Her body was outside near the closed door with a kunai pouch strapped on each hip. Sakura was wearing a black shirt with gray khakis and black ninja sandals and grinned when somebody came into view.

She hopped down the steps and tired to follow him and hid her self near a wall when the boy turned to greet some one. The new person was a lot taller then Itachi and didn't have lines on each side of his face like he does.

"Are you sure that she lives here?"

"Yes I am sure, the girl with healing powers."

"Healing powers?" Sakura whispered from beyond the wall.

"Well shouldn't we tell the hokage about this? She was classified an orphan at birth without any physical background."

"Sine when are you acting so professional Shisui? You have not been chosen to be anbu yet."

"So, it doesn't hurt to start early." he chuckled and felt a hidden chakra source from afar. "I think we are being watched."

Itachi closed his eyes. "Don't toss a kunai yet, it's just Sakura." he said and heard a gasp from the wall. "Come out sakura."

Shisui watched a little girl scamper over near him and Itachi. "So, your the girl with the healing powers, eh?"

Sakura nodded and looked away from his friendly gesture. "H-hi.."

"Hello back, I'm Shisui and you already met my cousin Itachi."

"Yes she has." his younger cousin said and turned towards Sakura. "What are you doing out in the sun shine? Tired of being cooked up in the house?" he smirked.

"No, I'm just out here to train."

"For what?" Asked Shisui and heard his cousin suck his teeth in. "What?"

"I'm going to be a prodigy when I enter the academy." She declared steadily.

Shisui and Itachi exchanged a quick look for a couple seconds.

"You are?" Questioned Shisui.

"Yeah, so I can become a shinobi like Itachi."

"Tee hee, your a role model?" Giggled his older cousin.

"I guess I am." He signed. 'To a kid brother and some little girl I only met for the third time in a few months.' The weasel though mindlessly.

"Well, I gotta go. Bye Uchihas!" She waved.

Itachi and his cousin watched the petal haired female leave from their view off into the distance with a brown animal trailing beside her. They shrugged and left the area them selves walking along the white fence area.

"Quite impressed that you changed a girl's mind in a short amount of time." began Shisui. "Normally they would trail after little Sasuke or some other high performance male they have no chance or clue on how to get with."

"I know, in fact I'm so scared that it's actually working."

"Well let's hope for the best okay?"

"Sure."

~Back with Sakura~

"Hmm, what should I do next?" Questioned Sakura.

The pinkett has just finished punching some dummies and throwing kunais, which practically missed the target and flew into the bushes. She wasn't quite finished, wishing that there was more routine in her schedule. If only her mother was a ninja rather then being a civilian working in the local shops. Sakura drank out of a cherry flavored juice box and stared into the sky.

Clouds riddled the blue coated atmosphere bringing her back into her own happy place. She had no clue why all those ungrateful children restricted her from going outdoors for three months straight until Itachi snapped her out of it. Now the girl was actually in debt with the weasel's gracious friendship. Perhaps she shall give him a reward for showing her the light at the end of her dreadful tunnel.

"Would you like to visit your god Itachi?" she asked the weasel.

It gurgled and pushed it's head towards her soft touch.

"Alright then, I'll ask okaa san to make him a special lunch for my gratitude." Sakura concluded and kept her attention at the never ending sky.

Her vision altered when rain drops hit the pinkett her face. She quickly got up collecting her things and ran down the grass laughing along the way. The pet kept its pace following it's owner and stood still when somebody confronted them. There was a boy with cerulean eyes and whisker marks on each sides of his cheeks. He was staring at her with a steady gaze and smiled.

"Cool, is that weasel?"

She blinked in awe. "Yeah, his name is Itachi."

"That's funny, I thought there was only one in Konoha."

"Not any more, his real name is Itachi number two!" Sakura grinned while holding the animal up blocking her face from view. "Please to meet ya!"

The boy held in his laughter and stopped. "Uh oh, is that your mom standing over there?" He asked and made note of the red head near the tree.

Sakura looked towards the older woman with a straight face. "She's not my mother, no body is."

"You mean she's not your old lady?" he gasped in shock.

"No, not at all. Look, those care takers that be leaving us with these fakers are making it seem like they are related with us when their not."

"Oh. We can be friends then?"

"Sure, it's not like being any will make it the end of the world." Sakura agreed to his proposal and stuck out her right hand. "I'm Sakura."

The boy stared at her small palms and handed her his right. "Nice to met ya, I'm Naruto."

Akane watched her daughter shake hands with the village demon, Naruto. How could she let that happen? All the villagers won't let their children breath or cough on him but let alone talk and shake hands? This was all new to her, she needed to make this stop.

Immediately.
