Chapter 4 The vision
Unaware of what she was doing, Sakura walked the empty streets to the hill where the alley was. She looked around. The path began to glow. The figure appeared before her.
"Sakura" It whispered. It lifted a hand to her. Sakura stepped towards the figure. She lifted a hand to it. A strong wind picked up. The figure began to spread, to change. The blackness of it's body began to change into a red and black cloak. It's red eyes shown even brighter than before. When the transformation was complete, there stood Itachi. Sakura, still in her trance, walked towards him. He looked at her.
" So you are the one." He said, " Well, let's see what you make of this." He put his hand on her forehead. Sakura's eyes rolled into the back of her head. Her legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

Sakura was falling. She opened her eyes. She was standing on one of the roofs of the Konoha village. She looked around. Suddenly the ground began to shake. She looked down. The buildings were crumbling. She yelled, but no sound came from her. She fell to the ground. Dust covered her. She stood up and looked around. There were many weapons on the ground. Clanging could be heard in the distance.
Through the dust, Sakura could see two figures. They were in some kind of battle. When the dust cleared, their images came into focus. One was tall and had a red and black cloak, while the other was shorter and wore all black. They both had the same red eyes. The figures disappered and Sakura found herself falling again. She tried to scream, but again, no came came from her lips.
When Sakura stopped falling, she was in a grassy area. Many people surrounded her. In front of her, was a casket. She walked up to it. Inside lay Sasuke. Sakura gasped.
" No, no, no, no" Sakura fell to her knees, her hands on her head. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Sasuke couldn't be dead. She wouldn't believe it. Suddenly, the people started to make a path. Sakura stood up. Someone was coming. She went into the middle to see who it was. She found herself staring into the eyes of herself. She also noticed that the people were bowing as she walked by.
The ground began to move again. Sakura took one last look as she fell from the ground. The image became dark. Someone was standing over her. Their hand on her forehead.
" Hmm. You're stronger than you look. I'm impressed." Came a voice from the darkness.

Kakashi ran to the top of the hill. The alley way was glowing.
" What the hell?" Kakashi slowed a little bit. He got to the entry, but couldn't go no further. It was almost as if someone had put glass in front of the alley. The glow from the entry was beginning to fade. Figures could be seen inside. One was standing over another. Red eyes could be seen in the darkness. A black coat could barely be seen.
" Itachi." Kakashi said. That would mean that Sakura was in there. Kakashi tried to get into the alley, but failed once again. He was helpless. All he could do was stand and watch.

The image was starting to become clear. All she could see were red eyes.
" Sasuke."
" Heh. I don't like to be reminded of my so called brother." said the voice again.
" Itachi!" Sakura sat up. "What do you want?"
" Nothing."
" What did you do to me?"
" I gave you a look into the future." Sakura stared at the red eyes of Itachi.
" Th-That w-was the future?" She fell to the ground again. " No!"
" NOOOOOOOOOO!" Sakura threw herself at Itachi. " I won't let you kill Sasuke!"
" Kill him? Now that's an interesting idea." Itachi said as he easily dodged her attack.
