Arc 9:

Finding Things

Hello everyone! I have decided that this story will be the one I try to finish but I must tell you that I will be away fro a while in August so it won't be updated for a while there, but I will try to have a few chapters up by that time. Please R&R and this story will now have a lot of my ideas and not totally go along with the Time line in the Naruto world. ^O^ well on to the story.

^o^

Sakura walked along the road toward the Uchiha compound, 'Time to look through some Uchiha records…' She thought as she walked down the path approaching the abandoned gates.

"Sakura? What are you doing here?" A voice suddenly asked.

Sakura blinked and turned around, "Oh! Hi Sasuke! I was just out for a walk… Guess I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going…" She answered, her thoughts suddenly going into a frenzied panic.

"Not many people get so deep in their thoughts that they don't notice they entered the Uchiha district…" Was the reply followed by a glare. "Even if they are a demon…" He added.

Sakura's eye twitched, "That's cold Sasuke…" She muttered before turning around to head back to her place, "But would ya look at the time… I have to get home." She then quickly disappeared leaving a confused Sasuke in her wake.

Appearing inside the Uchiha compound she quickly made her way through to the main house, 'This was Itachi and Sasuke's house…' She thought as she opened the door carefully taking her shoes off and walking toward Fugaku's office, 'Fugaku should have a few records and even a scroll that would detail a mission to attack an Unknown village…' She entered the large room and quickly began going through all the scrolls she could find. "These would be some great jutsu to learn… Fugaku won't mind…" She mumbled to herself, stashing a few of the jutsu scrolls in her bag before looking through some more.

"Maybe Mikoto-chan had a journal that may give me some light on the mission… No… She only knew of it from Fugaku, but maybe… I'll just check…" Sakura whispered and quickly moved to the master bed room shuddering at the blood stains on the floor, ' This was the room…' She thought as she stepped over the marks and then began her search of the shelves.

After a few minutes of searching Sakura growled in annoyance, "Dammit! Nothing here either…" She muttered and then picked up one of the books she had pulled out, before it suddenly slipped from her hand and fell to the floor, "Gah!" She yelped as it made a loud smacking noise.

Out of the book though a small scroll tumbled and rolled across the floor, Sakura blinked and watched as it rolled across the floor coming to a stop at the entrance to the room, hurriedly Sakura made her way to it. As she bent down to pick it up she heard footsteps coming toward the room, her eyes widened, 'Dammit!' She thought as she recognized the chakra signature to be Sasuke's. 'What's he doing here?' She quickly turned and organized the books before shooting to the window and tugging it open as the footsteps got closer. She slipped out and pulled the window closed ducking down just as the door swung open.

Sakura let out a sigh of relief once she stepped out of the compound and took off toward her home, 'Why was Sasuke there? I mean yeah it was his home but still I didn't think he would want to go there… The blood stains are still there…' She thought as she quickly traveled to her home glancing around when she noticed a ANBU suddenly run past her.

"Hey what's going on?" She called the ANBU turned and stared at her a red pinwheel looking her in the eye, "Oh… I see…" She muttered, "Get to my house as soon as your safe…" She then turned and continued walking toward her home the ANBU disappearing shortly after.

Sakura slid her key into the lock of her apartment, "Hey Itachi…" She sighed as she walked past her couch where the elder Uchiha sat comfortably sipping a cup of tea.

"Hn…"

"I think I found something in your house…" She tossed the scroll over her shoulder as she entered the kitchen to grab a cup of tea for herself. "Don't know if it's the right thing, but I didn't have time to look any further, Sasuke decided he wanted to make a visit."

"It's the right one…" The monotone voice suddenly said,

Sakura stopped all action and was by the couch within seconds, "Let's see!" She gasped as she jumped down beside him, leaning in to look at the writing.

Both stared at the page, "I'll get into Danzou's files and find his copy." Sakura snarled and stood instantly, heading to the door.

"Sakura."

She turned, "What?"

"Don't get caught."

She smirked deviously, "I haven't yet…"

The Uchiha watched hidden by the curtain as she walked toward the Hokage tower, a smirk on his face, "He won't know what hit him." He then returned to drinking his tea and waiting for his little accomplices' return.
