Y-your eyes, the …the scary man who hit me has those same eyes." She shivered again as she was set down on a small bed. Again she peered through one eye, and examined the boy.
He was a few years older than she, and held those scary eyes. His hair was clean but wet and he held an ambu mask on the side of his head. His fist was next to her frail body, clenched and shaking furiously.
"Wh-who are you?"
The boy looked up through his bangs and a small smirk played at his lips, "Uchiha Itatchi."
ONTO THE NEXT CHAPPIE !
…Sakura tossed and turned in he bed as the dream continued, the flashback of long ago.
Little Sakura looked at Itatchi silently, gasping at a sudden urge of pain that ripped through her body. Itatchi looked around the room hastily and grabbed her hand. Her breathing slowed down again and a serene look entered her facial expression once more.
"What did happen to you?" Sakura looked up at the teenager and let the tears slide down her bloodied face and sting at her cuts.
"I-I was w-walking," Sakura took a deep breath and regained her composure…well as composed as a six year old can get," A-and this man with y-your scary eyes, he w-walked f-funny and started to t-touch me." She gasped and swallowed some of her loose tears as she continues to talk, "I-I punched him and he p-punched back…" She cried silently as she pulled her legs against her body in a fetal position.
"What did he look like?"
Sakura took the back of her wrist and wiped away her tears, "L-like you only meaner and older…"
Itatchi's eyes hardened as an audible 'father' was whispered under his breath. Itatchi spoke quietly to the shivering girl, "Stay here, they'll heal you, you'll never be hurt by an Uchiha again, I promise you that." In a blur the boy disappeared in a puff of smoke, and the next thing heard in the hospital was news of the Uchiha Massacre…
Sakura rolled out of bed with a loud thump. She grasped her head with her hand as she rolled onto her feet, and wobbled out of dizziness. Stumbling to the shower she turned on the water, icy cold. Fumbling she stepped in and scrubbed her skin raw with soap, and washed her hair clean.
Once she was finished she stepped out and wrapped herself with a washed out pink towel and walked to her closet.
Her fingers trailed the few clothes she had and landed on a particular outfit. She slipped it on.
A leather skirt that came down to mid-thigh wear in the hem she hid a metal wire used for strangling or escapes. She bandaged her left leg and used it to store five kunais and ten shuriken. She slipped on a pair of black boots, concealing to daggers drenched with fatal poisen of her own creation, that only she knew how to reverse and slipped on her always present white bra underneath a mesh shirt, hiding numerous more weapons.
She silently pinned her hair up using several senbon needles and strapped her katanna to her back, leaving her stunning and deadly.
As she walked out the front door she gathered her bag containing food and a blanket, and then she sped off to the gate waiting for the rest of the team to arrive.
The next one who came was Neji, the talked nonchalantly about the mission and separate tactics they could use until the sound of arguing sounded off through the air, catching both their attentions.
Out of the shadows Naruto and Sasuke were arguing, calling each other names and such, and Kiba and Hinata trailed them, silently laughing at the idiocy of it all.
Sakura sighed and pulled on her mask.
"Sasuke Naruto, front and center!" They both cocked their head and strolled over to wear she pointed in front of herself. "Sasuke, we will be fighting Akatsuki, whether or not its your brother , you do NOT attack him unless I order so or you'll be taken as an enemy and killed beside them. Naruto, when the time comes I'm trusting you to keep him in line, that's all, lets go!"
Sakura turned on her heel and began jumping through the forests silently. Out of the two without anbu masks the blonde caught up to Sakura, looking at her and thinking about talking to her… She really has changed, stronger, prettier, smarter…
"What do you want Naruto?" The cerulean eyes boy shook his head violently and pink spread through his face.
"Sakura…what happened?"
"Nothing out of the usual….I changed. I trained with Tsunade and have surpassed her. I couldn't spend my whole life being protected, I wanted to be the one who protected others…not the other way around. This is a cruel world. Kill or be killed." Sakura replied nonchalantly, sighing to herself.
Naruto looked down at his feet, already beginning to sore.
"What exactly happ-"
Sakura stopped and Naruto ran into her, getting a mouthful of hair. Spontaneously he spat it out and stood upright, as everyone caught up and stopped beside her.
"We're not alone." She stated.
Hinata pulled out her katana, as Kiba lifted his head to face his captain, "Who is it?"
"Powerful chakra, three of them, probably Akatsuki. My guess would be the almighty duo we all know and love plus one." Sakura spoke, adding a bit of sarcasm into the comment.
Sakura shot a glare at Sasuke, "Remember what I said." Then she closed her eyes and pulled out a kunai. She jumped down from the tree and onto the soft dirt below, and without hesitation she threw it, too fast for the untrained eye to see.
A ruffle of the bushes, and everyone stiffened. The soft sound of voices, and everyone pulled out their favored weapons, and the clash of three sets of foot steps and they all prepared to fight, until Sakura raised her hand. Letting them all know not to attack. "They know we're here, this is foreign territory to us, they have the advantage of three different lands secrets." She spoke calmly, as the three stepped out of the bushes, revealing Tobi, Kisame, and of coarse Itatchi Uchiha.
Sasuke stiffened before he began to run. But as he forced the first step, he realized his shoes were pinned precariously to the ground. He glared at Sakura's mask.
"Hinata, Naruto! Stay on him!" Sakura threw her head over her shoulder to call the demand. She put on a sickly sweet smile underneath her mask, "Akatsuki." She hissed. "Neji, take fish face!" "Kiba the shorter one!, I've got Mister Massacre." The two attacked as they began to fight. And Itatchi stared at Sakura as chills ran down her back, remembering the dreams she's be having, the long forgotten memories.
"Scared?" He inquired.
"No."
"You're not lying." He stated.
"I'm a horrible liar." She quirked back.
He smirked as his eyes swirled. "You're holding back my brother." He smirked again.
"Its what you wanted, to fight him, but I tend to be jealous I want to fight him first."
"If he has reached full potential, your no match."
"You have NO idea." She punched the ground. Dirt rolling, a deep crevice began to form. A crater. Everyone jumped back as she got a kunai out and stabbed the clone behind her.
Sasuke managed to weasel out of his shoes and he began charging for his brother. Then Sakura appeared behind him and knocked him out with one swipe to the neck. She poofed and began to entertain Itachi again.
Sakura ran to fast for the eye to see forming a spiky ball of pink chakra in her hand. Static sparked from the bright unnamed ball. She charged, flinging the ball forward. It hit a tree behind Itachi.
A clash of metal against metal sounded through the air as katana and parceling met. Itachi grinned wryly at Sakura's katana in his hand and a mask fell to the ground.
Itachi's eyes widened at the sight of emerald green eyes, pink hair and pale skin. He remembered her.
Sakura pulled out the senbon needles out as a choking sound rang through the field. A whimpering from Akamaru sounded and Sakura gripped her needles. She flung them before her. Each missing its target accept for two. One found itself wedged in Itachi's shoulder and the other was lodged inside Tobi's head. His body slacked and dropped to the floor as Akamaru was set free.
Itachi looked aggravated. It was HER. Anger rose in his calm throat at the sight of his dead teammate. Not that he actually cared, it just ticked him off that she killed him, without a glance at that. He found her gaze back on him and returned the glare. Power radiated off of her.
His Mangeko (sp?) Sharingan activated. A wry smile placed on her lips as he tried to ease his way in her mind, but found he couldn't.
SHANNARO!!! NO way he's getting in here!
Oh just shut it!
Why should I
Fighting…
OH…okay…
She smirked as she charged him but as the body she punched turned to smoke…everything went black.
