GaaxSaku)

Twelve year old Sakura has to quit team seven to move to Suna due to her parents mission. Sasuke seems glad to get rid of such a weak member. Sad that Sasuke doesn't mourn for her departure she seeks comfort in Gaara and soon they establish a relationship. Now Sakura is fifteen and back in Konoha for the chuunin exams, the only thing is now she's not weak and is mysteriously protected by sand, just as Gaara is… Sasuke cant help but get that green eyed curiosity.

Itaxsaku

Sasuke could never find Itachi because he mysteriously disappeared so he returned to Konoha to fulfill his other goal, to restore his clan. But once he gets home the girl he wanted to restore his clan is taken by some mysterious boy. Turns out Sasuke isn't the only Uchiha who returned home and apparently his brother beat him to winning Sakura's heart. She's married.

Sakura, a common villager, isn't so common. Every night at midnight she is trained by a master whose face she's never seen. Call her a ninja unknown. But one day challenged by life or death her ninja status is revealed and she's added to a team. The only question on everyone's mind is who trained her? And why is this beauty always sleepy? Her heart and strength is challenged when she realizes just who has been training her all these years A criminal. And she loves him.

Wind tousled the mans longs hair, flinging it from his neat ponytail and causing him to growl as the disobedient strands danced before his eyes. Beside him a beautiful girl chuckled, "Come boy, does your hair need a talking too… a punishment. Ha."

The man glared at the white haired lady, "I do not think your humorous in the least."

The smile didn't waver from the woman's mouth as she ran beside him, "I don't have to be."

Silence played it part awkwardly as they continued jumping from tree branch to tree branch, avoiding leaving trails and scents.

"You worry to much son. In the end all will be right." She goaded, continuing the conversation, one thing that Sakura rubbed off on her, but unlike Sakura she didn't know when to be quiet.

Picking up the pace the man grunted, "I don't have the luxury of seeing the future. Kana."

A brisk chuckle erupted from her throat, "No you don't, you have the luxury of entering ones mind."

Her laughter died down and once again they continued to run in a serious silence, preparing themselves for the future.

"How does it end?" Itachi asked abruptly, staring longingly into the forest before him.

Kana sighed stopping, "My old bones need a rest Itachi…" Pausing she bent over, her hands on her knees and her back cracking, "You know the most annoying part of this gift… the two most if you please, of coarse besides the new body."

The man shrugged his shoulders.

"You see everything. You know everything. To be honest the path is always changing as different decisions are made and different ideas are thought. The only way you cant is if you purposefully keep your mind of it or it's a spur of the moment change, then directly you see it. The way this is turning out the deeds are done differently all the time but the ending is always the same.

"My descendent gets out, Someone dies, and the rest live happily ever after. Then years later the rest of us die. Once you died, but it has changed already to another's death. But there is something I learned with seeing everything. There is always… always a balance. If one lives, another dies. There is always a sacrifice. The question now, Itachi, is are you still willing to make that sacrifice?" The white haired lady let her Green eyes pierce deeply into the mans soul, watching as the future changed and listening to his thoughts.

Without a second glance and without a spoken answer her diamond glowed brightly, "That's all I needed to know."

"How long did you know it?"

"Since the first time you said aloud you were willing to die."

-back three hours, back three hours, back three hours, back three hours, back three hours-

"What is it Pein." Itachi growled, his head in his hands and his fingers intertwining and yanking at his hair.

"I expect you to call me as Leader as everyone else, despite the fact that your angel isn't here. If not death will await you, and Sakura-sama will be disappointed."

Sighing he dipped his shoulders low, "You know Sakura doesn't like being called that, Leader-sama. She prefers Sakura-chan."

A grim smile crossed the orange haired man quickly, then faded into the shadows that consumed his face.

"A visitor has come to help your problems. Usually we do not accept people into the headquarters, but seeing that she is… omniscient in our… affairs. We allowed her presence." He cleared his throat as a girl with long flowing white hair entered the dark room.

"Itachi-san. Where is my granddaughter, are you deemed incapable of protecting her… and when were you planning about telling me of your marriage. Hmmm…." She droned monosyllable.

Looking up with red eyes he smiled lightly. "Kana."

She smiled grimly as she strode off to a dark rusty leather chair. Sitting down she racked her nails against the arm of the chair. "So tell me child, why is my granddaughter being touched unpleasantly by your little brother in a dingy old prison while you are here in a warm hideout with friendly criminals."

Itachi dragged his painted fingernails through his long hair, "I figured you would know by now."

"Ah. Yes. Last time I checked up on your pat and future willingly was a few hours before you proposed to my lovely daughter. Perhaps its time I got an update. Slowly she closed her eyes and rubbed her temple with her fingers, playing up the drama and laying on a heavier atmosphere with the already musty room.

The diamond centered in the middle of her forehead glowed brightly as the pictures played before her closed eyes.

The girl smiled brilliantly in the room of Akatsuki as she squealed at the feel of the ring on her finger, unbeknownst to her a pair of jealous red eyes followed her every room.

A Young Uchiha burst into the room, explaining of the traitor Tachi was and how he 'manipulated' Sakura. A group of Anbu was picked immediately to take Tachi out.

Visions passed through A girl with snow-pink hair as anbu surrounded them immediately. Quickly she ushered a dark haired man away, reluctantly e burst into smoke transporting away.

The same beautiful girl was pressed against a stone wall, her neck being chewed as she stared absently before her, blocking out the events and praying for her love.

A blond boy declared his help to Itachi and Sakura in the forest.

Kana fast forwarded through the past until she reached the future, a feeling of dread swamped her as she gasped quietly to herself.

The night was held of a full moon, the dark sky clouded with smog, dimming the lights of the stars. Below a building hidden by vines and made of steel was relatively quiet. But it wasn't the quietness and serenity that brought your attention. It was the sneak of two figures in the shadows.

A girl of a relatively small size, with billowing white hair and a man of a slender and masculine stature crawled slipping through a once was barred window.

Once inside the building a blaring alarm went off.

This is where Kana panted once more, the vision shaking and blurring. She realized this was a futile part, a part where someone keeps changing their mind, which in turn would keep on changing the future. Quickly she fumbled with her bloodline as she shuffled through both, trying to find the one which shook less, the more stable, most likely to happen one.

Deciding on that sight the vision stabilized after a few second time skip.

A circle of bodies surrounded the two and the alarm stopped, as the feigned a false alarm to the conscious ones, hiding the dead's bodies.

Slithering and slinking down the brick and steel hallways they searched down to the most heavily guarded cells.

The sound of grunting, gasping and moaning rang threw their ears, exchanging glances they picked up their speed, following the noise.

Again the Vision shook. Grasping her head tightly she didn't bother looking threw either vision, quickly choosing the one that vibrated less.

They saw a metal door, newly unlocked seals and the latch undone. The sound of flesh and flesh, metal on metal echoed.

The scent of blood wafted the air. Obviously a battle was occurring.

The white haired woman held up a hand, signaling she would go first.

She slowly approached the door, her hand extended to the door and it pushed open. Her other hand hovering over her weapons pouch. Her eyes widened at what she saw. Her pupils drank in the picture of a younger version of the man she came with hovering over her relative, wounds poured down the ladies limbs as the younger boy growled, ripping off what appeared to be another article of torn clothing.

"You will be mine!" He hissed, his head hovering over hers. "You will love and serve me. You will teach and nourish our children, and you will hate Itachi!"

Squirming the girl stared at the man calmly though her eyes were wide as if she had just been slapped.

"I will not." She stated.

The man growled in frustration as his hands ventured into her nether regions.

Then the woman knew to make and entrance.

Hurrying threw the sight she fast forwarded to the exit, only curious to the ending.

Tears threatened the snow-pink haired girls eyes as she held a bleeding Itachi in her arms, He was dieing and that's all she knew as she cried outside the walls of Konoha. Only the shoulder pat of her mother was there to comfort her.

"Why why why why why!!!!" She chanted and yelled.

The body trembled in her grasp as the man opened a red eye. The color faded to that of a shining onyx, no one ever noticed this but they were mesmerizing rings of dark blue in silver in his eyes. His wonderful eyes.

The girl cried even harder.

"I…I h-hate it how you cry not f-for yourself, b-but for me. D-don't cry f-f-or me, blossom."

The girl wiped her tears from her eyes and held the man tighter to her body

"Don't leave me."

Slowly his eyes drifted close and he whispered quietly to her, "I'll be with you I-inside of e-every man that t-truly loves y-you. I love you."

His head drooped and his last whisper was strained to her ear, "L-live on and s-stay safe."

Startled Kana calmed her features and swiped the sweat from her brow.

"I see."

Itachi noticed her troubled appearance. "What is it."

"Nothing. So are you going to save your dear love, or am I and my old bones going ot have to be alone."

"I will come. I would do anything for her."

Kana cocked her head to the side. "Anything?"

Firmly her set his grim lips into a thin line. "Anything."

-back to the present, back to the present, back to the present, back to the present, back to the present-

The two jumped, reminiscing at the earlier time in day. They weren't far from the Konoha prison hold now and night was falling fast, already the first star shining brightly seeming to be a freckle a few centimeters away from the bellybutton that was the moon. Instantly they felt a chakra burst from miles away, they stopped looking at each other. There were only two people strong enough to have a chakra burst like that. Sakura.

Finishing their exchanged glances immediately they began running now, faster then ever. Their hair whipped ferociously at their faces causing small cuts, but they didn't care they just cared of Sakura. So here they came.

---

"That's it, I'm through with waiting and I'm taking what's mine." She heard the mumbling before the loud clash of the cement door slamming into the brick wall, leaving an angry Uchiha there, glaring in all his glory.

Sakura stood up, gathering her stance.

"Hn. I thought you weren't going to fight." Sasuke smirked.

"I'm still not going to. I just need to prolong my raping until the time is right." Sakura smiled lightly to herself. Raising her arms in front of her body and holding her hand as if she was holding a sword. Closing her eyes she muttered a jutsu to herself and in a flash her bloodline flashed, her eyes glowing and diamond pulsing with her heart beat, and also her pink chakra extended visibly in her hand, creating a sword.

Sasuke licked his lips and whispered with a feral grin, "Just think of our power. You and I, I and you, us… we could have all the power in the shinobi world."

She narrowed her eyes into a thin squint, brining the sword to beside her face. "After all the wrongs you've done and you've never learned three things. Your brother will always be more powerful, power is nothing to me, and how can you have a prestigious clan when you cant even muster up and decent vocabulary. Its 'you and me' you dumbass."

With that Sasuke charged, his hand chirping with chakra singing with the voice of a thousand birds. A thousand very annoying birds. With Sakura's chakra made sword she absorbed the hit, drinking in the energy of the attack and her weapon flaring purple before returning to its blazing pink.

"Lesson number one, Seishou (1) Dorobou (2) Katana, cannot be attacked with chakra for like Kisame's sword it eats up the chakra, but unlike his sword, the chakra is copied and then split so both the user and the sword doubles in power. Try again." Angered the Uchiha's neck began to glow, black marks swirled and spread, running and controlling inch over inch of his pale flesh, devouring and tripling his own life energy, dominating him.

Wings ripped his shirt and left his chest bare.

Cocking his head to the side he smirked, "Come Sakura, how can you resist this body, I know when you were twelve you couldn't."

Wrinkling her nose in disgust she snarled back, "That was before a snake pedophile wanted and contaminated your body."

Sasuke lurched forward, not caring for her weapon and grabbed the chakra blade only to jump back.

Sakura laughed, "Lesson number two, my chakra type is like ice, just as Naruto is wind and you are fire, usually when one is touched by my blade their skin is freeze burned but because my sword has the pleasure of my ice chakra and your fire one who is touched is first froze then burned."

The man quickly let the curse pulse in and out of him completing the process and grinned, instantly their bodies were a meshed blur. Pushing and pulling their bodies danced in a blood bath of injuries attacks and defenses. Finally Sasuke had her pinned to the dank floor, her clothes ripped and his curse retracted as his skin pressed against hers.

"Why did you stop fighting, love. Finally understand your mine?" He asked cocky.

Sakura sighed, wriggling around to get comfortable, "I was never fighting, just waiting."

"well I'm taking advantage of the compliance." Growling the man took out a sharp kunai, weeding the blade down the seems of the pink haired girls clothing, or what was left of her clothing.

Just then a gasp landed on Sasuke's ears, whipping his hair around his eyes lavished hungrily at a young woman, with white hair and piercing green eyes. Sakura? Looking back and forth between the two he slowly gathered the difference. Snow white-ish pink hair versus sparkling white and silver. Pulsing vibrant green emerald eyes versus a sullen sea-green iris. The air of wisdom and strict stature against the defiant energetic knowing personality.

Sasuke looked back to the girl under him, back handing her across the face he pinched her chin, "Who is this?"

She ignored him, angering him further, She kicked him off rolling backwards onto her knees, "Where is he? Is he alright? Kana?" In zoomed in a blur of man and grasped Sakura's body needing to him.

"I'm right here blossom. Cover up." Itachi handed her his cloak, drowning her nearly cloth less figure.

Staring up into Itachi's eyes she glared. "I cant fight in this garb, its waaaaay to big."

"You don't have to fight."

"but what if I want to."

"Doesn't matter. I don't want you too."

"Im fighting."

"No your not."

Slowly Sakura began to peel the cloak from her shoulders, until Itachi covered her hands dressing her again and in a moment Itachi formed hand seals. He whipped through the signs of Tiger, Lion, monkey and boar yelling out, " Nikawa (3) Youshi (4) Han (5)." Pointing out a finger he pressed his phalange into the valley between her breasts and a burst of light shot out.

Sighing, Sakura loosely pulled at the fabric, knowing the extent of the jutsu.

Smirking Itachi turned, showing his face to the other. "Foolish brother."

Sasuke let out a piercing cry as his hands flew through his own, "Ninji (6) deddo (7) Shinjou (8) Tekunikku (9)!"

The eldest Uchiha's body stilled vibrantly as all his muscles 'died'. The second later the sound of birds rang loud and clear once again.

Sakura's eye widened as she saw her capturer run towards her defenseless love, in a quick moment she placed her arms up in front of her fiancé waiting for the blow. But it never came.

Before her stood her masked ex-sensei, "Two was always your limit Sasuke."

"No." The killing man roared, "You stopped me from my revenge you perv bastard! And you…" Sasuke turned his attention to the quivering Haruno, "You would have stopped me if it wasn't for him…" Anger drenched his being as her raised his hand, a shuriken laced between his fingers. Swinging his arm he shoved the weapon into Kakashi's arm that tried to protect Sakura as two straightened fingers pressed her temple, knocking her out.

--

--

She woke up, her delicate eyes fluttering up to the sound of a steady beeping. Surrounding her was her Akatsuki friends and the one using her stomach as a pillow was Itachi, his own arm bandaged. Smiling softly she ran her fingers through his silky black hair. He stirred.

"Itachi." She mumbled.

"Hn."

"What happened?" Itachi stiffened as he gracefully rose his head and his eyes met hers. Looking around attentively let his eyes trace over each of his organizations slumbering bodies.

"Sakura." He sighed. "When you were knocked out a full blown battle took place. Long story short the Akatsuki got involved. Kakashi and Naruto were there on our side. Naruto is in the Konoha hospital with chakra depletion, Kakashi with blood loss. We're all fine but… Kana died. She saw it coming but she saved me, gave her life for mine."

Wistfully Sakura smiled. "I saw this and her thoughts… she thought not to cry and not to be sad. It was her time to go…. She died for me." She looked up from her lap, "She died for us."

Smiling timidly he placed his hand over hers, "Yes she did."

Epilogue

The rain whipping her hair around her face settled as she stepped into the building, the familiar building hidden in the shadows of Moon.

"Mommy! Your back from your mission." Running into the entry way a small girl with black hair and green eyes smiled brilliantly tossing her arms around her wet mothers neck. Quickly she was followed by a grown man and an older boy.

"Stand up straight you two so mum can take a look at my three favorite people." The three smiled lightly as they stood tall in a line.

The shortest was the happy girl. Her black shiny hair hung in pigtails and fell down her shoulders, draping over her nightgown clad shoulders. Her eyes were a deep forest green and her pale skin was drenched in moonlight freckles and her cheeks were sparkled in a light burn.

To her left any normal person would laugh. There stood a stoic twelve year old, his eyes were deep black and his arms were bandaged in white cloth as he wore a black baggy shirt belonging to his father, the laughable part was his pink hair the fell into his eyes.

Swaying slightly Sakura walked up to the last person, his body was the same as it was thirteen years do to a special jutsu, the only sacrifice was that his body couldn't withhold the chakra the bloodline gave him so he cant perform jutsu's properly without it becoming overpowered with his chakra and causing a lethal outcome, however; like Sakura he doesn't age at the price of his jutsu's except for swordsmanship and taijutsu.

Gathering the man in her arms she kissed him deeply, their tongue entwining as Itachi held her head to his, his other hand resting flatly on her mid-back.

"Mommy EWWWW!!!!!" The little girl screeched.

Breaking apart Sakura smiled to them pointing up the stairs, "Kashi, Kana, upstairs. Time for bed."
