Disclaimer: Sorry If I haven't been putting this. It is a natural to know who owns Naruto. It is not me; I do not own anything, but the plot.
What was happening before I stopped it…?
"So this is her…the one…," the ANBU said holding out his hands. Sakura giggled and placed her hands in his. He lifted her arms up and she smiled even more. The ANBU let go of one hand and spun her around like she was a three year old.
"You are even more beautiful than the others…Sakura. We have a surprise for you."
"Thank you. What is it?"
"Your father, Orochimaru-san is here."
On to the story…
In the Hokage Tower…
Sunlight was shining brightly through the window of the hokage's office, and three men stood in there. One was the great hokage himself, and the other two were from sound. One was the legendary sannin Orochimaru, while the other was his little laky Kabuto.
Orochimaru was content with being back in the village again. He was going to destroy it anyway, so he might as well see it one last time. Kabuto on the other hand was wary. He didn't trust anyone or anything in the god-forsaken village.
"Orochimaru, what are you doing here?" The hokage asked sitting behind his desk. He knew why Orochimaru was here, but he wanted to hear it from the snake's mouth.
"I missed my daughter, and I came by to pay her a visit. She should be here any minute."
"I can assume you mean Sakura, correct."
"Yes. She is a doll isn't she? Her looks are so deceiving; she might look beautiful and doll-like but Sakura could kill you faster than any ANBU you, or any other village has."
"What makes you so sure, Orochimaru?"
The man tilted his head to the side and smiled. His tongue flicked out of his mouth for a quick second. Kabuto was wondering what his master could be planning at a time like this.
"I know because I have trained her, and seen her fight. She has done nothing but assignation missions since she was the beautiful age of five."
Then before the hokage could even speak the ornate doors to the office opened silently. A man in an Akatsuki robe with a girl next to him wearing all back walked in. Her hair was pink, and her aura was deadly. Next to Itachi, she looked like his wife.
"Father…" She said walking up to him and bowing respectfully. He nodded and she dropped the act. Her arms were flung around his waist and she nuzzled her head in his chest.
Orochimaru hugged the girl back and looked down into her eyes. They were so much like his, but yet so different. She was so much like him, but also different. It only pitied him that she did not even know about her past. The truth was... Sakura was his REAL daughter.
They were blood related. He was her biological father. Her mother was a young woman in the infamous Haruno clan. She was the strongest woman in the clan and her love for Orochimaru was even stronger. She died after giving birth to Sakura in a war, but she never regretted it.
Orochimaru never knew until he saw how much Sakura looked like her mother. One day he found the remains of the destroyed clan and found a letter. It was addressed to him. He still has it to this day. It was from her…his love…Akaikawa, Haruno.
It wrote…
To my beloved,
This is the last thing I will say to you before I go off to the war. Our daughter is so beautiful, she takes after you so much. If I am not alive when you receive this then please take care of her, I know that you will love her. Her name is Sakura, and she will take on all the Haruno clan's traits.
She is so beautiful. Sakura maybe only a baby still, but I know that she will be a wonderful and well-respected woman one day. Orochimaru, if you do not know this already, she will be the one that has the special kekkai genkai, not only will she have the Haruno's; but she will also have others.
Take good care of her, and I will always watch over you. Make sure that she marries well too, and don't be too hard on her when she gets older. Remember, she will take after me. I love you both and cannot wait to see you again.
Love, Akaikawa
He found that letter the day before he was brought Sakura. He would have never known it was her if Kabuto hadn't pestered him to look at the child. He was glad that he didn't kill her; she was the greatest thing that happened to him.
'Even this small girl is able to bring out Orochimaru's human side. I wonder how someone like him could ever get a daughter that was so caring and lovable like Sakura. I guess that the gods are trying to change him.' The hokage thought while watching the touching scene in front of him.
Sakura pulled away from her father and stood with as much dignity as Orochimaru himself. They way that she carried herself was unlike a twelve year old. She would be serious and not show any emotion one minute and then the next she would play and joke around.
"Flower, the Hokage and I must talk privately for a little while. I want you to behave yourself and listen to Itachi like you always have. I will see you later before I leave."
"Hai, Father." Sakura said bowing again before going to stand next to Itachi.
"We will take our leave, good day Kabuto-san, Orochimaru-san, Hokage-sama. Let's go Sakura-chan."
"Hai, Itachi-kun. Good day to you all."
Itachi turned to leave with little Sakura on his heels. She never missed a step. When they were out of earshot, the hokage began talking again and the doors closed.
Dark cold air swept across the village as the late evening set in. The air became cooler and people's shops were closing down for the night, all except for the restaurants and food places. The sky was covered in a beautiful blanket of reds and oranges mixed with pinks and light yellows.
No clouds were hardly in the sky anymore, but the few that were looked like a snowy white sheet of cotton placed under the blanket of colors. The wind would blow at the right time to catch the perfect petal falling from a flower, or a woman's hair slowly being caressed by it.
A pair of kids were walking towards Ichiraku. They looked like they were on a date of some sort. One was a boy that Sakura met earlier that day, Neji, and the other was a girl that looked a lot like him. She was shy and timid around everyone, but once she grew up she would hold great power. Sakura was in the back eating with Itachi to her left side. The corner was dimly lit and only their eyes could been seen. No one paid much attention to the two until Sakura stood up and took off the cloak she was wearing over her normal attire and her straw hat that was like Itachi's.
Her bubble gum pink hair contrasted greatly with her black outfit and pale ghostly skin. People were giving her looks when she walked past them to the counter to place her order. Itachi sat in the back watching all the men's eyes follow Sakura. He was pleased that she could draw that much attention, but also mad. They had no right to look at her.
She arrived back at the table with a man beside her. He was in formal clothing and looked to be the ripe old age of twenty-three. From what Itachi could tell he was a lord of some kind. His hair was a light brown color and was short like Naruto's. His eyes were green and he had the aura of a lord too.
"Itachi-kun, This is Lord Trevrep. He is visiting the village and I have been asked to show him around tomorrow."
"I see. What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to come with me."
"As you wish Sakura-chan." Itachi said moving over so she could sit down.
The lord looked at Itachi for a long time. He couldn't remember where he had seen him but he was sure he knew of that name.
"Aren't you Uchiha, Itachi? The man who belongs to the secret Akatsuki organization, and murdered his whole clan." He asked sliding closer to Sakura.
"I am."
The lord started to freak out. He was sitting at a table with a S-class criminal that could kill him with no thought.
"Do not worry Lord Trevrep, Itachi-kun is no longer a criminal but a member of this village, and an ANBU captain. He will not harm you, or kill you unless ordered so by the hokage himself." Sakura said patting the lords hand.
The lord quickly grabbed her hand in his and started to stroke it in a loving way. Sakura wanted to do nothing more than punch the living hell out of him, but knew that she could not. He was greater than her by far, and punching him or showing him disrespect was against her up bringing.
Orochimaru, Itachi, and Kabuto taught her at an early age that showing disrespect was unforgivable and one day might kill you and your whole village. She took all of her lessons to heart and never ever broke one.
"You know," the lord started, "I am here by myself and have no one to keep me company, would you like to stay with me for my whole visit here?"
Sakura was disgusted even more. This guy was trying to take her away from Itachi and Sasuke!
"Lord Trevrep, I am sorry but I must decline your offer. I have orders as to where I am supposed to stay and I can not break them."
"Lord Trevrep," Itachi said calmly taking a sip of his tea, "Are you hinting that you want to take away my Sakura blossom from me? The S-class criminal? The man that single handedly slaughtered and killed the whole Uchiha clan. The man who was apart of the organization Akatsuki?"
"N-N-No. I-I-I wasn't hinting anything. I was just a-a-asking."
Itachi raised his eyebrow and looked away. Sakura finally worked her hand free after some time between her food and Itachi's glare. When they could finally leave Sakura was relieved. That guy was a leach! He did nothing but get closer to her physically.
Itachi and Sakura finally arrived back at the Uchiha manor in time to see a half necked Sasuke. He was just emerging from the shower clad in nothing but a red towel. His raven locks were wet and dripping water. The water in his hair would catch the evening rays of the sun and sparkle like diamonds. He would catch the eye of any normal girl, they would be screaming there heads off and start chasing him, but Sakura was not normal by far.
Sakura walked past him like nothing. She didn't show any emotions, no blush, no eyes glazed over in lust, no nothing. She didn't even glance back over her shoulder to see if the towel fell.
"Sakura, how was town?" Sasuke asked trying to get her attention.
"It was fine. I was able to see my father and meet a Lord that I have to show around after training."
"Hn"
"That is all?" Sakura said walking to her room with Itachi at her heals.
Sasuke felt like a screw up. He could have said more, done more, to catch her eye, but he didn't. All he did was give normal reply of a non caring "Hn". Was he trying to push her away just to be able to kill Itachi, or did he really love her?
Yes, he really did love her…she was the reason why he woke up. When Sakura was hurt he was hurt, when she cried he was right there with her crying. Sakura was the only person to treat him like a normal person and did not feel sorry for him because of what happened to his clan.
'Well duh she doesn't feel sorry for what happened to my clan…she fucking hangs with the damn guy who killed them all. How could she feel sorry when she has only been protected by Itachi and never been endangered by him like I was.'
Sasuke looked down the hallway to where Sakura disappeared and sighed. Winning her heart was going to be hard, but he was going to make it a goal.
Itachi…the man who single handedly killed the Uchiha clan, his whole family, and left the village. Itachi…the man whose heart was supposed to be black and soulless. Itachi…the man who was deeply in love with a beautiful small pink haired girl.
She was 12 years old while he was 17 year old. The ages did not matter to him, he knew where his heart lied and that was with a 12 year old. He knew her strengths and weakness, her mood swings, her favorite every things, and even her sizes. He knew every thing about her but yet, he felt like he hardly knew anything at all.
Cold, blackness enveloped both kids when Sakura opened her room door. She didn't like the light that much and tried her best to avoid it. Her room was her sanctuary, it was the one place that she could go and not be disturbed, a place that she could let her pent up emotions flow freely, a place where she was safe, and not threatened. The one place she could be her true self.
Sakura knew what it was like to loose a friend, sadly, she also knew what it was like to kill your friend. Her heart was tainted by all the blood that she made others shed, and all the death she had seen.
"Blossom, what is the matter?" Itachi crooned to her closing the door and holding his fragile heart in his hands. Sakura to was he heart, people always did say that he was heartless, but that was only when Sakura was not around.
"…"
Sakura didn't reply. She didn't need to. Itachi already knew what was wrong. He carried her to the bed and sat her down next to himself. She was crying her heart out. Sobs emitted from deep with in her and made their way to her eyes. Itachi placed her in his lap and let cry on his shoulder while he rubbed her back and ran his purple painted fingers through her hair.
"Ita…Ita-kun, I am sorry for this. I should be strong for you, for father, for myself, but here I am in your arms again crying like I am a weak little girl of two."
"Blossom…" Itachi said catching her attention, "You are strong, you are stronger than what you believe yourself to be. Not showing emotions doesn't always make certain people strong. Sakura, your emotions are what make you strong. With your emotions you can do anything, but if you lock them away, like I have mine, you will become an empty shell."
Sakura listened intently to what Itachi told her. He only called her blossom when it was just the two of them and when she needed comfort. His eyes were the dark black she knew well and they held a love and softness she has always identified with him.
She was so happy now, but sad at the same time. Her mind was replaying long lost memories of people she has either killed or has met and had them fall in love with her. Her father was not a man to mess with and all the countries knew of him, but no one knew of his daughter except the third hokage. The only reason he knew was because the Haruno clan was strongly tied to him and leaf. The hokage told Orochimaru that he would not hurt him as long as he didn't endanger the village. Which he hasn't for the days that Sakura had been there.
"Ita-kun, I am supposed to be emotionless, I am supposed to be strong, I am supposed to be father's best."
"Sakura Blossom, are you not also supposed to be the most kindest, most loving, most beautiful person in Sound and of all the villages?"
"Hai, I am."
"See, you need emotions to do that, and you need to be strong to carry them. Sakura you are so much like glass. You break so easily, but are so strong at the same time carrying your weight plus others that you are not supposed to bare"
"I do it Ita-kun because it is the duties of the Sound Princess…and that person happens to be me."
Itachi wiped away her tears and smiled, "You will make a beautiful Sound Princess my little Sakura Blossom."
Sakura wrapped her arms around Itachi's mid section while he laid back on the bed and made himself comfortable with Sakura drifting slowly to sleep on him.
The Next Day…
Sasuke was the first one up followed by Itachi ten minutes later leaving Sakura's room. He noted that he was wearing different clothes, but neither of the rooms were conjoined, and Sakura would have emerged from the room with him if she was awake so something went on last night.
"Good morning little brother." Itachi said being nice on Sakura's part for his little stay there.
"Hn. Where's Sakura?"
"In her room, I would not bother her though, she hates to have people in there if they are uninvited or unwelcome."
"You were just in there."
"Hai, little brother, I am always welcome where ever she goes."
"Hn." Sasuke replied eating more of his breakfast that he made. When he was done and was cleaning his plate in the sink along with his silverware when a thought popped into his head.
'If Sakura is in her room and is not around Itachi there is nothing stopping me from killing him. She won't get in the way and Itachi would die.'
But Sasuke dropped the cunning idea when he felt the cold blade of a kunai at his throat. His body stiffened and all of his muscles were yelling, pleading for him to move away, but one false move and he was dead. That was when he heard it, her voice. The only voice that could send shivers of pleasure down his spine and he actually like it.
"Ne, Sasuke-san, I wouldn't do that if I were you. Something or someone would have to kill you after ward."
"Hn."
Sakura was holding Sasuke with a kunai on his throat. Her hair was pulled back like Itachi's and her outfit was the same. Her breath held the sent of peppermint and her eyes were deadly. Sasuke was afraid to look back at her.
"Sakura-chan, let him go. He is not worth it." Itachi said looking at her seriously.
"Yes, Itachi-kun…as you wish." Sakura sadly said removing the kunai and placing it back into her holster.
"Eat breakfast now and finished getting dressed before we have to leave."
"Hai, Itachi-kun."
Sakura got an apple and ate it while running to her room finishing getting dressed. She was board and decided to play some music on the speakers in the living room. Her choice was Get Naked by Brittney Spears.

Sakura was dancing again with Itachi singing his part while she did too. Itachi did not dance this time…instead he was standing beside Sasuke watching Sakura move around the living room to the beat.
Itachi felt a warm heat spark with in himself below his belt line. He was shaking all over watching her dance. Sakura's movements were so…hot…sensual…he wanted her. Her hair was swaying with her hips, and her outfit wasn't helping.
Itachi felt like he was going to die on the spot. She was making him feel too much, and he loved it. Her figure when she moved…her smile…her sensual movements…it was too much for one man!
Sakura didn't notice the looks she was receiving from both of the Uchihas. Sasuke was stunned…he couldn't speak. No one should be able to move like that and be a girl. It was too tempting.
"Sakura-chan…I can assume that you are ready to leave for your survival test now?" Itachi said trying to hide his blush the best he could from Sakura's observant eyes, but it was no use.
"Itachi-kun come here please."
"Hai, Sakura-chan?"
Sakura pulled him down a little ways and smiled when she saw the small blush on his face. Her face was only millimeters from his with their noses almost touching.
"Itachi-kun, your cute when you blush…you should do it more. You might get a girlfriend if you blush and smile more."
She smiled at him and kissed his lips quickly before laughing and taking her I-pod off the speakers placing it carefully into her pouch before walking over to a still stunned Sasuke. Sakura waved her hand in front of his face and when she got his attention she smiled and laughed.
"Ne, Sasuke-kun, are you ready to go to training?"
"Hai."
"Good, I would hate for you not to be able to pass this exam." Sakura said wishing him luck and kissing his lips like she did Itachi's.
Sakura giggled when she saw his blush and commented, "You look cute when you blush too Sasuke-san."
"Sakura-chan, you are going to be late for training and I will not hesitate to punish you later for your tardiness." Itachi scolded crossing his arms over his chest.
"Hai, Itachi-kun."
Sakura vanished in a whirlwind of blood and reappeared on a red bridge that was to be known as team 7's meeting place.
Sasuke unconsciously touched his lips after Sakura left. He could feel her lips still on his own. In that chase little kiss he felt something he had never felt before. Sadly he could not identify this strange feeling but what ever it was he wanted more of it.
After everyone arrived for training…
Kakashi was busy taking his students to the grounds with the three logs growing out of the ground while reading that perverted book of his. Sasuke's mind was still on that kiss that he had receive that morning and he was ignoring everyone.
Naruto and Sakura were in a conversation about the different jutsus that they knew and Sakura was winning. She knew more than Naruto did by far.
"Here we are team." Kakashi said standing in the clearing while his team lined up near the logs. Sakura was in the middle with Naruto to her left and Sasuke to her right. She was in a happy mood. Which meant that her aura was lighter too.
"Today all three of you will take the b--" Kakashi was cut off when a sinister chuckle emitted itself around to grounds. The laugh caused chill bumps to arise on everyone's skin. Everyone but Sakura's for that matter.
A dark, evil, feminine like voice was heard behind Kakashi making him jump away in surprise.
"Hello kiddies." The person said in the shade.
Sasuke and Naruto along with Kakashi were shocked out of their skin when they saw Sakura bow low to the man and speak.
"Good Morning…Father."
A/N: So what do you think? The song was just something that I need to make Itachi go over the edge. Sasuke's character is changing slightly and who is that man that Sakura just called father? Well, you have to wait until next time kiddies. Oh, and don't be afraid to Review. The Lords name is kinda funny actually because if you take the letters and write them backward it spelles a word, and it is how the Lord will act too.
