Please be kind and rewind as I do not own the masterpiece 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.
Hey, sorry for taking so long, but I have a Beta now, so hopefully those little bugs will be going for the most part.
Hope you enjoy!

A baby's crying softly somewhere was what woke her. Her eye lids were oh so very heavy, but a part of her had to see to the baby. It might be hurt or hungry or needed to be change. From the sound of it, it was a fairly young child, maybe only a few months old. Finally winning the battle with her eye lids, the young woman noticed she wasn't in a room familiar to her; neither where the occupants in the room.
Directly across from her was a rather large, lean man with long black hair. He seemed to be asleep, and in well need of it considering the long lines on his youthful face and the dark smudges under his eyes. His cheeks were slightly hollow and he was very pale. He was also snoring slightly. There was something about him that looked very familiar, just looking at him made her heart race and her blood burn.
Inspecting him further, the woman realized that he was wearing a black T-shirt and matching black pants with pockets on the side of his lower leg.
He also had a very colourful bottle in his hand, a very colourful baby bottle in his hand.
Beep, beep, beep.
'What is that beeping and where am I? Why is there an I.V. in my arm?'
Trying to turn her head, the woman realized that she couldn't.
'What's happening? Why can't I control my body?' Looking at the man again, the woman tried in vain to get the sleeping man's attention.
A pale slender hand reached and grasps the baby's bottle from the man; he did not even stir at the female's light touch. The woman in the bed looked at this new woman and more importantly, what was in her arms.
There in a bundle of soft blue blankets was a small baby with curly brown hair and shining blue-green eyes. The baby happily accepted the bottle from the dark hair woman. She was humming a familiar tune while rocking the baby in her arms. She also looked familiar. Was she related to the sleeping man?
"Hush now little one, Itachi will not be able to take care of you if you don't let him sleep."
The baby quieted down at the woman's soothing voice.
'So tired...'
Beep, beep, beeep, beeeep.
Startled at the sudden change, the dark hair woman looked at the woman in the bed.
"Sakura?" she gasped.
Removing the bottle from the babe's mouth, the dark hair woman clutched the baby to her chest and ran to the door.
"MY LADY! LADY TSUNADE! SAKURA'S AWAKE."
Within seconds, there were many loud footsteps running into the room as a busty blonde, a short dark hair woman and the lady with the baby came bursting into the room. This was enough for the sleeping man to jump into the land of the living.
'So tired, I just want to sleep.'
Jumping to the left side of the woman's bed, the man seized her hand.
"Please Sakura; do not do this to me again!" Itachi begged.
"Get out of the way Uchiha! Out in the hall NOW!"
The small hand in the man's far larger ones closed ever so slightly. Looking in to Sakura's eyes, Itachi could see the fear and the confusion in them. But what scared him the most was the tiredness her twin emerald eyes held.
"No Sakura, Fight it! Stay awake!"
"Move Uchiha!"
"NO, I will not leave her again!" Itachi hadn't' even looked, his gaze was fixed to hers.
"Brat!"
Hands glowing green, the Hokage placed them on the young woman's chest and began to do a body scan. When she completed that she put her still glowing hands to the woman's head.
"I want you to look at me and answer the following questions. Do you understand?"
The bedridden woman slowly blinked twice.
"Does anything hurt?"
Another blink.
"Can you hear me?"
Blink blink.
"Can you speak?"
Blink.
"Why isn't she responding?" The young man growled.
Sakura closed her eyes and started too breathed deeply.
"She might not be able to speak or move; she did receive a very bad head injury." Shizune calmly reply.
"You can fix whatever is wrong with her right!" Shouted Itachi, his bloodline limit was spinning madly.
The whole room paused and stared at the young man. This was the first time he had ever spoken in such a way to the Hidden Leaf's leader or any friend for that matter.
"Itachi, sweetie, come take care of Ringo and let them work." The Uchiha monarch said softly.
Looking into Sakura's exhausted eyes; the Uchiha heir went down on both of his knees and kissed Sakura's hand. "Mother, I must decline your request. I was not there for her; it is my fault she's here."
"Damn brat. Fine, but stay there, shut up and let me work. Otherwise we will see if you're as good at flying as Naruto is."
The Hokage and Shizume hands began once more to glow with the power of healing chakra. Placing them on Sakura's brow and the side of her head, the two women took a deep breath and began to look for any abnormalities with in Sakura's brain.
"There has been some damage done to the parts of her brain that control her memory and motor functions." The dark haired Shizume reported.
"Deal with her motor functions before the memory. Better for to be able to walk."
After an hour, Shizume let out a long breath and reported. "Motor functions restoration complete, she should have control over her body now."
"Excellent, now let's start on her memory."
No sooner did the medics start their work; there was a brilliant, bright aqua-green flash followed by the combined screams of the Hokage and her two apprentices.
When Mikoto was able to see again, the Hokage and Shizume where on the floor and Sakura's body was glowing with a faint mint green.
"My Lady Hokage! Are you alright!" Mikoto rushed over to the fallen Hokage. "Your arms, they are burned!"
Sitting up the blonde woman looked over her unconscious niece and then her own arms "We're fine Mikoto, just a little chakra burn." Hands glowing, the Hokage easily erase the burn marks on her arms then moved to her niece and did the same.
The three women rose from the tile hospital floor and turned to the bed.
Itachi and Sakura were both unconscious, Sakura still lying in her bed with Itachi collapsed on the side of it.
Through all of this, young Ringo was very quiet. It wasn't until this moment that she began to wail.
TTT
Opening his eyes, Itachi looked around only to find that he was surrounded by darkness.
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
"How did you get in here?" Came a booming voice from behind Itachi.
Turning around, Itachi saw Sakura, or at least a woman who looked exactly like Sakura except she had something written on her forehead.
"Sakura? Are you alright?" Running towards her, Itachi pulled her into a tight embrace.
"I'm alright, well sort of; she on the other hand, is not." Inner Sakura gestured to the Sakura tree that Itachi did not see behind him. Amongst the tree trunks was another Sakura, unfortunately she was out cold.
"Explain."
"I have blocked her memory. It was the only way to save her sanity."
"Does this have to do with what happen at the end of our mission?"
"Yes, and I don't think I have ever hear you ask so many questions in my whole life."
All Inner received was a blank stare from the Uchiha.
"Hn."
Walking over to the sakura tree, Itachi kneeled down and brushed a strand of hair from Sakura's forehead.
"She will wake, when?"
"In a few minutes."
"What happened when we were separated?"
"We ran into trouble, there was a fight and we were losing. Honestly, if it wasn't for K..." Inner Sakura was interrupted by a moan.
"Shit she's waking up, you HAVE to leave. Promise me you will help her! The jutus that they used on us won't last forever and it will be safe for her to remember. But YOU have to protect her until then!"
"Jutus?"
"Don't worry sweet cheeks, I'm working on it. Saw nighty-night!" Lifting her hand, Inner Sakura flicked Itachi between the eyes. The next thing Itachi knew, he was waking up on a hospital bed to a hysterical mother and a crying baby.
TTT
"When can we see her? We are her family!" Naruto's shouts could be heard from even outside the hospital grounds. Anyone and everyone walking outside pitied those who were near the load blonde, for everyone knew that team seven was a close nit family. With Konaha's pink cherry blossom in the hospital, it was only a matter of time before one of the team members cracked.
"Shut up Dope, you'll wake the dead." Deep down, Sasuke was just as worried as Naruto was. They had just received news that Sakura had woke up from her coma but then fell back asleep. Both of the young men were sitting outside of the hospital right under Sakura's window. Unfortunately for them, her window was on the top floor, thus there dilemma.
"To climb or not to? What's worse Teme? Going up there and getting thrown back down by the old bat or sitting here?"
"I said shut UP!" growled the pissed off Uchiha.
"I wonder where Kakashi is." The blonde male really should know by now.
Raising his fist up, Sasuke punched his best friend in the back of the head. "I said SHUT UP Dope."
"TEME! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"
"Dickless won't shut up no matter how hard you hit him."
Turning the two young men greeted their fifth teammate. Sai was carrying his usual scrapbook and his ink set. It wasn't until then that they notice that he had just excited the hospital; the smell of chemicals was easily recognized.
"How did you get into the hospital? That old lady banned us from going in!"
"Not all of us are as talentless as you two Dickless."
"We did get in." Sasuke growled. With Sakura in the hospital for so long, his brother at near breaking point, Naruto's constant whining, Ino's continuous worrying, Kakashi's disappearing act and Ringo's crying all night every night, Sasuke was about to lose it.
"We just got kicked out a few minutes later." Naruto confessed.
"Shut up Dope." Yep, the young Uchiha was defiantly going nuts.
"Did you try the air vents?" Sai questioned. "That is how I got in."
"No, we're too big. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU GOT IN? DID YOU SEE HER? IS SHE ALRIGHT?" Naruto shouted as he stomped his feet on the ground as if he was a small child.
"Then stop eating so much Raman." Sai replied with his 'smile' in placed as he poked Naruto's belly with his finger.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHG!"
TTT
Moaning the young pink hair woman opened her eyes as she tried to sit up. She was greeted by a very bright light and a gentle hand pushing her back down.
"What's going on? Where am I?" Her voice was strained from months of none use.
"Easy now, here try some water." The kind voice held a glass of cool water to the young woman. The rosette drank rapidly and began to cough, choking on the sweat tasting liquid.
"I said easy now." The voice said again.
"I'm sorry." The pink haired woman looked up to see a large busted woman with long blonde hair and warm honey eyes. "Who are you?" She rasped.
"Damn brat always having to be right. What is the last thing you remember Sakura?"
"Who?"
MWAHAHAHAHA
So evil I know. I am sure many of you are wonder WTF is that all about. But I am sure that many of you were speculating (And a little creeped out) about those weird and odd little things at the beginning and ending of all the other chapters so now you know!
Thank you for all the Reviews you have given me.
And to my newest reviewer, the reason the Uchiha's thought there was an intruder was because Sakura's office door was torn off its hinges by one crazed friend. (Chapter one.)
Oh I am sorry about the chapters being posted and then reposted. The only thing changed was a few spelling mistakes that I didn't notice. One of my many habits I have picked up from my nerdy friends
