Please be kind and rewind as I do not own the master piece called Naruto, just this thing I am calling a plot line.

This is a non-massacre, Itachi and Sakura pairing, if you don't like it please hit the back button as you are in the wrong section of fan fiction. Thank you. I am going to put this under M just to be safe.

Chapter two

...P..lea..se.. ..S..a...kur....a!

It has been two days since that fateful encounter between Itachi and Sakura. Ino had eventually dragged out every detail from her poor best friend. Unfortunately for Sakura, Ino was in such a state at her best friends useless flirt radar that she went into hysterics. Yelling and crying that Sakura had missed a perfect opportunity to go on a date, without her team mates, with THE ITACHI UCHIHA. Not only one of the most handsome and strongest ANBU captains on the planet but also the one who never dated in anyone's recent memory. Ino could not understand how she had ever ended up with the most hopeless girl in Konoha as a best friend. It only got worse for Sakura when Tsunade walked into her offices to demand why Sakura was there on her day off. Tsunade was less then please to see another broken door but immediately sided with Ino, Sakura needed a free no-teammates date. This in mind, Tsunade banned Sakura from all hospital work for the next four days, unless she was summoned for an emergency. Much to Ino's joy, Tsunade tossed Sakura out of her own offices. A very pissed off Sakura made her way to the training grounds with an excited Ino right behind her.

Training ground three now need remodeling

After Sakura had… redesigned… training ground three, Ino had managed to drag the tired Sakura back to her apartment for a shower, clean clothes and to grab her wallet. After which they went out to do some shopping and to get supper. Unfortunately for training ground four, Itachi kept showing up at every other shop the two young women went into. The only thing that saved Uchiha's handsome face was the fact that Uchiha matriarch was with him.

"Oh Sakura, will you please calm down, I don't think the forest can handle anymore tree loss." Ino said from the top of a newly formed boulder. Thank you Sakura.

"That jerk! Where does he get the nerve? I can't believe him! I bet he brought his mother with him just so I wouldn't punch him in his damn handsome face!" Sakura shouted as she sent another punch into the poor tree that just happened to be growing in her line of site. The tree let out a loud groan before it split completely in half and fell down to the trampled ground.

Sakura just could not risk losing Mikoto-san's fabulous cooking. She and Naruto had, on more than one occasion, relieved Sasuke of his precious breakfast, lunch and dinner; all at separate times of course, they did not need an extremely hungry male Uchiha on their asses. The two had been planning a way into the Uchiha compound to… borrow… Mikoto-san cook book before Team Kakashi left. All they need was an alibi and a safe place to copy the blissful recipes down. Sakura was working on getting Hinata to help them as a look out. Hopefully she would be able to give them enough warning to get lost when the Uchiha clan comes looking. If Sakura could somehow work a very grateful Naruto into the deal with Hinata, and keep the young heiress from fainting, Sakura was sure that she would kill two birds with one stone. Not to mention getting Naruto to stop being such an idiot when it came to Hinata's feelings towards him.

"Sakura? Are you listening??"

CRACK! The earth split open causing many of the trees in the immediate area to fall down.

"Yes, Ino, I am listening." Sakura growled out.

"I don't understand why you are in such a fit." Ino quickly jumped from the rock she was sitting on when a tree came flying her way. "Geez, Sakura cool down or I'll throw you in the lake."

"He was stalking us Ino!"

"Why would he stalk us with his mother? HIS MOTHER!!!" This time it was a rock the size of a fist that was thrown at Ino.

"Because he is a twisted, sneaky, forehead poking weirdo!!"

Not far away and under the cover of the slowly thinning tree's canopy, squatted Itachi and Shisui. They, well Itachi anyway, were on a recon mission. Meaning that they were in full ANBU gear and they also were armed to the teeth, just in case things got a little messy. Their target was the pink haired woman down in the freshly formed valley. Itachi was interested by her, but frustrated that he barely knew anything about, despite the many years she has been his little brother's teammate. The only things he really knew about her was that she was his younger brother's teammate, she was a very skilled medic, and she was a jonin. She was smart, intelligent really, beautiful, witty, had a temper on her that rivalled the Hokage's, she was really beautiful......

"... forehead poking weirdo!!" This latest comment from the pink haired beauty dragged Itachi from his musing.

"HAHAHAHA! Did you hear that Ita-Chan? She thinks your weird!" This was enough to send Shisui over the edge of the tree branch. It was lucky for him that his 'baby' cousin was there to pull him back up onto the branch.

"Hn" Replied the blank faced ANBU captain.

"Hahahaha, it's okay Ita-Chan, let it all out; Doctor Shisui is here for you! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Shisui laughter bounced off of the trees near them.

"Did you hear something Ino?"

"What?"

"Shhhh, listen. I think I heard something."

Kneeling on the ground, Ino took out two kunai. She planted one into the earth and kept the other at hand. Putting her head down, Ino used the kunai in the earth to listen for vibrations. Sakura, although low on chakra, still had almost all of her weapons. Reaching to her back, Sakura slowly drew her Katana out with her right hand.

"Shhh." Itachi hissed under his breath. 'Damn, they are on to us.'

"Ohhh Itachi don't be like.....mhmmm." As quick as he could, Itachi grasped his cousins face, making sure his hand was over Shisui's mouth.

"Itchmmm whhham arrrrm mooouuuu donnninn?" Shisui mumbled out the best he could.

"Shhh they heard you baka." Itachi growled keeping his eyes on the two females some distance from him.

"South, just a few feet from us I think. They stopped moving so it's hard to get a good vibration." Ino reported in a whisper.

"There is at least two of them, they are hiding their chakra extremely well, must be higher level shinobi." Sakura commented in an equally quite voice.

"Should we fight them? You are low on chakra Sakura."

"I'm sorry to say this my friend, but I believe you are going to ruin your nails." Sakura said with a grin.

"That's alright; I am getting tired of this colour anyway." Ino said with a smirk on her face.

With this said Sakura picked up the boulder that Ino had been sitting on and after a few test tosses, she tossed it into the trees were the two 'unknown' shinobi were.

Both males were still sitting on the branch watching the two women talk softly to themselves, patiently waiting to see if their cover was blown. They both started to sweat, not that they would ever admit it even under torture, as they saw Sakura pick up the boulder and test its weight.

"She couldn't."

"She wouldn't."

And with an easy throw, Sakura heave it in their direction.

"She just did!"

"Shit! Run for it Itachi!"

Both men jumped and ran as fast as they could through the tree tops. Already they could feel the female's chakra signals catching up.

"What are we going to do Itachi!?" Shisui was beginning to panic. He did not need two more women angry with him, especially with one of them having extensive medical knowledge of the human body.

"Hn"

"Don't you Hn me mister! You got us into this mess, now you better get us out of it!" Shisui turned to his friend to see Itachi put his mask over his face and pull out a kunai. 'This is going to end badly.' He thought as he did the same.

Suddenly Itachi jumped forward and to the left of Shisui and let lose a giant fire ball.

"What the hell Itachi?" Shisui shouted as he dodged it and dove the right, slightly burning part of his shirt.

"Shisui!"

"Ohhh got you!" With a smile Shisui, using his famed body flicker, disappeared and reappeared a few feet behind Itachi and started throwing different types of weapons in Itachi's general direction.

The fight was on.

"Fire ball coming at 12 o'clock" Ino, who was just ahead of Sakura, shouted as she jumped to the right with Sakura following suit.

"Five bucks it's an Uchiha!" Sakura shouted. "Oh look they have some toys with them." Both girls dodged the incoming weapons.

"What's the plan? Do we engage in combat? " Ino asked.

"I think we better, just to make sure but not yet. Let's let them think they got away and see why they were spying on us." Sakura said with a grin.

The two women dropped back a bit and let the two males fight and run.

.... Why... Sakura..... W...h...y?
