Ino: I am finally here before screening time

Sakura: Where were you for the last 9 chapters?

Ino: Getting ready

Lili: Figures. Ino, say the disclaimer

Ino: YESHH! Lili doesn't own Naruto!

Chapter 10

"...and that's my story" Sakura finished. Sasuke look at her, shocked. He never released that there was a secret to the cherry blossom. Sasuke realised that she was just like him. Then he remembered that she didn't answer his question earlier. Sasuke broke the silence.

"You still haven't answered my question" she looked at him. "How do you know about the Sharingan?"

"The truth?" she asked

"Yes, the truth"

"Fine. Please don't be mad."

"Ok?"

"One of the missing ninja's I fought was your brother." Sasuke paled.

"Itachi..."

"Yeah him. Let's just say that we had a pretty interesting conversation as we fought."

"Did you..."

"Don't worry, I didn't kill him. I didn't want to." Sasuke was lost. She didn't want to kill his brother.

"Why?"

"There's more to him than you think there is Sasuke."

"Wha-"

"Its not for me to tell. Its for you to find out."

"..." Sasuke was quiet. "Sakura, you can tell the others you know."

"Tell them what?"

"About you and that you're a ninja"

"No I can't. They won't understand me."

"They have secrets too. You also should know that we have been secretly training to be ninjas" Sakura looked shocked. She stood up and started walking back. "Where are you going?" he asked.

"To tell them, isn't that what you said?" and continued walking. Sasuke smirked and ran to catch up with her.

It was still lunch and the gang had moved to their hide out. Ino was discussing something with TenTen and Hinata. Naruto was complaining, Neji was leaning on the wall, bored. Shikamaru was...sleeping. Sakura and Sasuke walked over to the gang. They turned the heads to the two. Ino and the girls threw themselves onto them saying over and over again that they were worried. Sakura gently pried them off and told everyone to sit down.

"Listen guys, I have something to show you guys." Everyone looked confused. What's with the sudden seriousness? Everyone thought, except Sasuke as he knew what was coming. Sakura sat down and said. "Look at me" They did. She sighed and said. "Don't freak out" They all nodded. She closed her eyes and reopened them but they were no longer emerald green but they had turned indigo. The gang just stared and then Naruto broke the silence.

"OH MY GOD! THAT IS SO COOL!" Sakura looked confused and deactivated her eyes.

"Ok, I was not expecting that reaction." Naruto then threw a bomb of questions at her.

"Are you a demon? What does it do? It is cool? Is it a bloodline?"

"No I am not a demon. They make me stronger and see others weak points. Its ok and yes it's a bloodline."

"COOL!"

"Sasuke told me that you were all ninjas too" Suddenly she had 7 pairs of hands covering her mouth. They all looked around and then released her. "Why did you do that?" she snapped, obviously annoyed.

"Sorry, just it's kind of a secret and we don't want anyone else to know" Ino said. Sakura grunted. TenTen broke the awkward silence that had dawned upon them.

"Yea we are all ninjas. We never thought you were one too. Why didn't you tell us?" Sakura looked at them and looked down again.

"I don't usually tell people these things. Right, I've shown you my secret, tell or show me yours." Naruto went first.

"I am like Teme over here. I have no family and I have the Kyuubi sealed inside of me." Sakura looked very shocked.

"No way...the Kyuubi" Naruto grinned sheepishly.

"Yea..." Sakura nodded knowingly at the pain he must have been through. Neji and Hinata went next.

"We have the Byakugan" and to prove it, they activated it. Sakura grunted with approval. Byakugan was as strong as her eyes and the Sharingan.

"And the rest of us just have special fighting techniques. *yawn*" Shikamaru said. Sakura nodded slowly. She just couldn't believe that there were people like her in the world.

"So Sakura, what's wrong with you today? We still don't know. Is it something we did? Or was Naruto too annoying?" asked a very concerned Ino. Sakura tried to smile, but she hadn't smiled since her mum's death. Her friends realised what she was trying to do. TenTen rubbed her shoulder and said "Don't force yourself" Sakura nodded at her gratefully. Sakura curled up in a ball.

"Sorry. It's not your fault. You should probably know that I have no parents." She earned some sympathetic glances. She glared. "Don't do that, I hate it when people do that." Immediately they all stopped.

"Go on" urged Ino." Sakura took a deep breath and continued.
