Hello there, I've decided to start making longer chapters, but sorry if any of this seems kind of rushed or well, doesn't make any sense. Please review. I'm having a sort of writers block here so help me out please! I'll be your bestest friend!


Sakura waited for her 'teammates' to come out of the cabin, she'd been here two days and they were already sending her on a mission. They were to go to the Stone and assassinate a group of seventeen short tempered rogue-nin with one too many debts to the Akutski. It didn't improve her mood that she was still tired from yesterday's test fight with Tobi. "Just great I have to spend the next two days with the drunken fish and Mr. Talkative Sunshine," She pictured Itachi's cold emotionless face, "Extremely hot sunshine." Sakura sighed, there was no point in trying to push these thoughts back, but she still did, even if they just popped back up later, she knew she needed a clear mind, at all times, no distractions, no matter what. Especially distractions that came the form of crushes on very sexy murders. "Stop!!" Sakura screamed in her head, she wouldn't give the Akutski reason to kill her, she'd have them all worshipping the ground she walked on in no time. Sakura smirked, They'll never know what hit em.

"Hey sweetness mind sharing what's so funny." Kisame said walking out of the cabin, it surprised Sakura that he wasn't drunk.

"The voices in my head" Sakura said dead serious, "I know they're not real, but they have some pretty good ideas."

Kisame gaped making his appearance, surprisingly, if possible, look even more like a fish, "Wha!?"

"There's no time for that Kisame." Itachi said from behind Sakura.

"Where did-?" Sakura said spinning around to see the Uchiha already walking silently towards the forest. How had he gotten behind her? She hadn't sensed his presence or even heard any movements. Was the guy just a living ghost or something?

"Myamichi you should pay more attention" Itachi said coldly not even turning around. Kisame snickered. "Hopefully you won't be too much of a hindrance to us."

Sakura resisted the urge to snarl, "Damn Uchihas", "You're all the same." She muttered out loud by accident. "Oh fuck. Oh crap, please ignore me, please ignore that." She thought as she continued to jump through the trees after them.

No such luck, both Itachi and Kisame had stopped on the next tree branch and were staring at her. "Who's all the same, Myamichi" Itachi asked sarcasm obvious even in his cool voice, his Sharingan burning holes in her.

"Shit" "You Uchihas" Do you want him to kill you? Hm I'd like to see that. Let's push him more. "Do not, I repeat, not say anything more." "You Uchihas are all alike, cold, heartless, arrogant, power-obsessed jackasses, who lack the ability to use proper sentences" And then Sakura said something you never, never, say to a man who murdered his entire family "I bet you're just like you damned father, he would have been very proud." "What the hell is wrong with you!? I am so dead!" No we are not, wait.

"What the fuck is wrong with sweetness, does she want to die slowly and painfully?" Kisame turned to Itachi, waiting for the screams of agony and the gory blood.

"Hn" Itachi turned and continued into the forest. Sakura waited a few moments in stunned silence and then followed after him, thanking the heavens she was still alive.

Kisame on the other hand was frozen, jaw hanging open, and eyes wide. "I was right" he thought as he recovered and then smirked, "Itachi's no doubt falling for sweetness. This is going to be very interesting."


Sakura stared at the top of her tent, they had arrived at the Stone about three hours ago, Itachi had managed to make a three day trip in 12 hours, without a break. Sakura felt like her entire body had be hit with sledge hammers, and she had a nagging feeling that the nonstop agonizing trip had been payback for her earlier comment. Kisame on the other hand seemed to have endless energy and had continuously casted sly glances at Itachi, and then chuckle to himself, maybe he was drunk after all. Thankfully she was lucky enough to have her own tent, but even after 12 grueling hours of running Sakura wasn't tired, hence the rigorous examination of her tent ceiling. She'd counted seven hundred and eight stitches so far.

"Okay I've had enough of this." Sakura, stood, put on a tank top and shorts, and walked barefoot out onto the hard rocky surface. After a few moments of walking she regretted not wearing her sandals, and considered going back for them but decided it wasn't worth it.

Sakura soon came upon a very very cliche scene; a stone ledge that stood above a clear beautiful river, flowing silently toward majestic purple mountains, a perfect view of the full illuminating moon, its identical reflection glowing beautifully in the river graceful water, stars littering the black night sky, shining brightly and wonderfully, looking as if they were part of some sacred dance, laughing merrily as they twinkled overhead. But no matter how cliche, the scene was still breath taking. So Sakura went ahead and played her part, she sat down on the ledge, letting her legs swing in the open air as she stared admiringly up at the stars and moon, a much more impressive sight than her tent roof. Maybe she was just so caught up in the moment, or maybe she was just ignoring the fact that someone was watching her from a distance, but after several minutes Sakura began to sing a lullaby she had only heard once in her entire life, on a night nearly three years ago;

Sleep now my child
Sleep now my heart
Let the moon and the sun protect
For our fire shan't die
And the stars bless thee
For dear child
You're loved by me
Our power shan't fail
And I'll protect you
For my child
You are my love
An angel sent to me
So the heavens above
May shed light on dark
And I will keep you safe
So sleep my child
Now sleep my heart
And shine like the star you are

Little did she know that this mere lullaby had her watcher frozen in shock. Because this lullaby was all to familiar to the stoic Itachi Uchiha.


Sakura continued to mutter profanities under her breath like she had been doing for the past ten minutes, if Itachi hadn't gotten his payback before he'd definitely gotten it now. At the moment Sakura was walking toward their targets' campsite dressed as a... well a slut is the only way to put it, a skirt so short it might as well be a napkin, cut that, a napkin wouldn't have even been that revealing, a shirt that was, well okay you couldn't even call it a shirt, alright the hell with that, she was dressed so that there was very little left to the imagination, and in heeled boots that must have made as a torture device for women. It didn't help her mood any that her face felt about ten pounds heavier with all the makeup she was forced to apply. "Itachi is so going to pay for this."

When she finally came within hearing distance of the campsite, Sakura could hear laughter and some shouting. "Drunks." She took a deep breath and put on her best 'I'm-sad-and-sexy' face, something she picked up from Ino, and called out in an overly dramatic voice, "Hello? Hello?" The noise stopped, "Good they heard me." "Hello? Is anyone here, I'm desperate," she walked farther and came upon two men, who were obviously rogue ninja, and obviously drunk. They both eyed her appreciatively.

"Hello there cutie," One said, Sakura forced herself to giggle, "God kill me now."

"What's a pretty little thing like you doing out here all alone?" They other asked.

Bite me."Oh you know I was lost, but" Sakura stepped closer to the nearest one and place a hand on his chest, fluttering her eyes up at him, "I'm found now." "I will need to bathe so many times before I'll ever feel remotely clean again, I fucking hate you and all your sexiness Itachi."

The man smiled and wrapped an arm around her waist, his hand traveling downward, oh how Sakura wanted to break that hand into a million microscopic pieces. "Yes you are" he said, the other called three more over.

"Well it's a party now" Sakura said, there were five here and twelve at the campsite, Itachi and Kisame could handle twelve easy. "How about a game" Sakura said, "I am scarred for life by this utter humiliation." You'll get over it when we get that Uchiha. "Yes we will." Now surprisingly enough Sakura somehow managed to hide weapons on her, even in the dental floss she was wearing. She reached up into her hair and pulled out the six poison senbon, her blond locks fell, and none of the drunken idiots noticed the senbon flying at three of their buddies until they were dead, the sight definitely sobered them up though. Sakura appeared behind the one who had first spoken to her and, using the kunai that she had extracted from her boot, slit his throat with ease.

"Now, now" said the last man, the one with the wandering hand, "Look what we have, a spy" He did several hand signs, and two solid rock hand sprung from the ground and grabbed Sakura's body. "You shouldn't have underestimated me, pretty lady. I must say it is impressive that you were able to kill them, but..." He gestured at the five dead bodies carelessly, even kicking one, "How disgusting, does he have no honor?" "These were just weak little lackeys, here for the joy ride, easily disposable. But seriously just you?" The damned bastard laughed. "Did the Akutski really send a little whore to kill us? I find that insulting." Sakura glared at him and then smiled. "Oh stop acting, any last words." The ninja said angrily.

"Yes, nightie night" Sakura spat out the poison senbon hidden in her mouth, hitting the man perfectly on the jugular. He fell almost gracefully to the ground as the stone hands released her. Sakura stretched, "That was just too easy, it wasn't even fun." she said sadly, shaking her head.

"Bravo!" Sakura turned to see Kisame laughing hysterically, a bottle of whiskey in his hand. He clasped his hands together over the bottle, fluttered his eyes and said in a high breathy voice, "But I'm found now." And then burst out laughing once more. Sakura sneered at his and sent her last remaining kunai at him. He laughed again, "You missed me, sweetness."

"Oh no, I didn't miss" Sakura said nodding towards the whiskey bottle.

Kisame looked down to see the entire bottom half of the bottle broken on the ground, in a puddle of liqueur, "Aw now that's just plain evil!" He cried, inspecting the bottle for any last drops.

"Stop fooling around you two, our mission is complete." Itachi said, Sakura waited for the 'And impressive job Kira, I'm so sorry for underestimating and disrespecting you,' well she should have known better by now, "Myamichi get changed, Kisame and I are going back to the campsite" Sakura glared at his back, until he stopped on a tree branch, "Oh and by the way" "Here it comes." "Try not to fall into any obvious traps, it would be a waste of my time to have to go and rescue you." Sakura was too angry to even speak, and by the time she could both men were gone.

"He will pay," Sakura muttered to herself, and headed to the hollow tree were she had hidden her clothes earlier.


Once again Sakura sat on the cliff staring up at the moon, though it wasn't full it was still gorgeous. She sighed and began to sing,

Let your fire blaze
Let your power grow
I will be here to watch you
For I do love you so
Sleep dear child
As I sing to thee
Sleep my heart
Listen to the melody
Dream and wonder
For you are home
Sleep my love
Let your mind roam

Sakura sighed as she finished the lullaby. Nearly three years ago Sasuke had wrapped his arms around her and sang her that lullaby, to be honest she was surprised she even remembered it, when he had sang it, she had still been pretty dazzled from his kiss earlier and listening to his rumbling baritone had caused Sakura to barely be able to hold onto consciousness. Sakura smiled and shook her head sadly, she truly had been an air head, even with her memories.

"Myamichi" Sakura didn't turn, she was still mad at him.

"What?" Oh yes, she was still very mad at him.

"You know my brother." It wasn't a question, but a statement, Sakura couldn't help but smile.

"Yes I know Sasuke very well as a matter of fact. How'd you know" Sakura asked even though it was pretty much obvious.

"You said all Uchihas are alike, since there is only Sasuke and I alive, you must have met him."

"And..." Sakura prodded, she wanted him to squirm.

"The lullaby" Itachi said coolly, "It's the Uchiha lullaby" It was obvious he wasn't going to say anymore on the subject. Sakura sighed again. "How do you know him, Myamichi?"

"Lord Kuzaki" That was Sakura's father, "After he was assassinated, Lord Jochi made an alliance with the Leaf, let's just say I got to know Sasuke very well while I was there for my medical training, that is until he ran off." Sakura shook her head and finally turned to look at Itachi, whose face was still blank as always. "Why do you care?"

He looked at her for a moment, "Hn." And then he walked away.

"Uchihas" Sakura muttered darkly.


The next day they were on their way back to the base, unfortunately they weren't going any slower than last time. Sakura was muttering under her breath and Itachi was silent as a tombstone, surprise surprise. Kisame on the other hand was thinking rapidly.

He was trying to decide how to handle the situation before him. This was his golden oppurtunity. I could use this bit of information as blackmail for Itachi. But I have a feeling that the end result would include me and a lot of pain. What about Kira? How does she feel about Itachi? Sure in the whole four days that I've known her all she's done is insult him, but the question is, Is it because she hates him? Or likes him? Women they are so confusing. Maybe I could get some help, Deidara is pretty close to a woman, I have no doubt that he used to be one either. But he was acting pretty weird when I told him my theory the other day, he was probably afraid Itachi was listening. Yes, and then I could use whatever information as blackmail for Kira, in order to get a few favors and some payback. Nobody takes my whiskey without avoiding the consequences. But I'm a little scared as to what she might do to me. Sweetness is no ordinary girl, Leader wants a Myamichi here for some reason. There is something about the Myamichis that Leader isn't telling us. Kisame glanced at Sakura, seeing just an ordinary, if not slightly more violent, fifteen year old girl. He didn't know about the Myamichi clans 'gift', just that if he got on Kira's nerves there would be no doubt that she would snap more than a couple bones and hurt him in ways only a girl would dare to. And Kisame had a few doubts as to whether she'd heal him afterwards. All he did was smirk. But hey, I like em feisty

"What are you looking at fish boy?" Kira snapped at him. She had caught him staring, and at the moment was still in a very shitty mood from yesterday.

"Oh now" Kisame said, imitating Kira's flirty voice, "Don't be so mean." He fluttered his eyes at her. He faked a hair flip, he had to admit despite himself, he did have a soft spot for hose bright jade eyes.

Sakura giggled despite herself. "It was more like this." Sakura made her eyes smolder, tossed her blond locks(which is impressive since they are still running into the wind), and said it an alluring breathy voice, "I want you soooooo bad Itachi."

In response to this Itachi merely went, "Hn" (Another surprise) Of course the Uchiha, who prided in his famous emotionlessness, wouldn't show how truly affected he'd been that first moment.

"Humph, you could at least humor me Itachi, of course it probably wouldn't affect you since this was meant for men who have had sex lives." "You just want him to kill me, don't you, tenma? You want me to die, that's it. Well I don't!" Then fix this. But Sakura having the Myamichi pride kept her mouth sealed shut.

They had stopped running. Kisame stared at Sakura and then laughed, down right laughed, Itachi glared, muttered something obscene and vanished. After a moment Kisame recovered. "Sweetness, you couldn't have been more wrong about that! Itachi without sex! Ha, I'd like to see the day!"

"Wha!" Sakura choked out, she couldn't imagine it, to her the words 'Itachi' and 'sex' didn't mix. It was like 'Sasuke' and 'lollipops', it just didn't seem right. Kisame continued to snicker and Sakura found that he was completely serious, in a way it made sense. Itachi was just as good looking as Sasuke, maybe even better looking(maybe), obviously he would have fangirls. Come to think of it, it made perfect sense, Itachi was a teen aged guy, sure he was a mass murderer but still a guy, and all guys craved sex. With all his slutty squealing girlfriends Itachi probably had no problem in the sex department. Sakura winced at this sudden realization, something churned then knotted deep in her stomach.

"Oh shut up fish boy!" Sakura snapped irritated beyond belief by his inane laughter.

Kisame smirked wiping a tear from his eye as he stifled his laughter obediently, "I can't believe you're still here" He finally gasped out.

"Don't get all touchy feely, I still don't quite remember the way to the base, and I have a feeling Itachi doesn't want to have some girl time with me at the moment." Sakura sneered.

"No, no!" Kisame said nonchalantly waving off her insult, "I meant that I can't believe that you are alive, I thought Itachi was going to kill you this time." Kisame said the last part dead serious as he started running once more and Sakura was right behind him.

"Wait what?" Sure shehad thought Itachi would kill her, but Kisame had known Itachi for years, he knew him. Surely he realized Itachi would never seriously hurt her? Right?

"The first time I thought was just a warning, but then these last four times, I thought he would murder you with his Mangekyo Sharingan, I mean sure Itachi's not one for violence, but that doesn't mean he won't kill off any annoyances."

"But I'm an Akutski member!" Sakura cried.

Kisame just laughed solemnly at her desperation, "That fact didn't stop him from snapping Orochimaru's arm off."

Sakura gulped, "But Leader surely wouldn't-?"

"I'm sorry to say this, you aren't that valuable, Itachi is. Kira you've got to understand, Leader can easily replace you, there are other ways to obtain a powerful Myamichi, but" Kisame stopped looking at her for a moment before turning back, "Itachi is the one and only."

Sakura nodded in defeat, he was right, she was very replacable. "So it's just a matter of time before he kills me" Stop acting sorry for yourself, we can kill that kid easy. "But I won't kill him." We'll see, we'll see. Sakura shook her head, she wouldn't listen to it.

"Actually no," Sakura turned to Kisame in shock. "If Itachi wanted you dead, he would have killed you already, he's not one to waste time. I have a feeling he's got a soft spot for you."

That was when Sakura tripped and fell, hitting the forest floor as Kisame jumped through the genjutsu hiding the base. "Kisame you drunken fish bastard! Come back here!" Sakura screamed as she jumped through the barrier after him.

Deidara looked up, unfortunately enough for him, from his attempts at repairing the still broken wall, as he heard Kira(Sakura) screaming. Even worse Kira caught him looking in her general direction.

"What are you looking at Blondie?" Sakura snarled, oh how she wanted to snap someone's neck right now.

"I-uh, um yeah." Deidara stuttered, he'd never thought that he could ever be this scared, especially of a chick, "Oh Kami what do I say that won't get me killed." Nothing came.

"Myamichi quit acting like a child." Itachi ordered as he walked out of the base.

"A child." Sakura said slowly and quietly as Deidara snuck silently away. "I'm acting like a child?" Sakura stated looking at Itachi, you know the saying 'If looks could kill'? Well Itachi would be dead three billion, two hundred sixty-four million, eight hundred thirty-nine thousand, one hundred and twelve times over thirty feet under ground, burned beaten maned, chopped, strangled, clobbered and so on if they could. And yet Itachi being the freakin weirdo that he was wasn't fazed at all.

"Yes" This brave stupid man obviously wanted to be killed.

"Huh." Was all Sakura murmured but in her head a battle was raging, Let me kill him, you know you want to, let me snap every bone in his body! "No, I can't." Come on, think of the wonderful crunch of each and every bone, isn't it lovely? "Yes...NO!!" Let me free, I'll make him realize just how strong we are. "No I refuse to kill him." In due time child, wait and see. "Go now, tenma." It won't be long.

"Well Myamichi is that all? I must say I'm disappointed." Itachi smirked.

"Oh what a pity," "NO!!" "And I was hoping that you'd hug me and pat my head! Oh well why don't you give me some tips on how to be a narcissistic bastard, huh? Or better yet, let's trade stories, I'll tell you about my puppy, Snuggles, and you can tell me about the fact that you lack so much self confidence that since you knew, that in the end you'd become a worthless failure whom no one could love, you felt the need to beat everyone to the punch and kill them all so there wasn't any proof that you are the disappointment. Look at it this way Itachi, at least I was smart enough to amount to more than insulting young girls. Now who are you disappointed in?"

Itachi for the first time in his entire existence was speechless. Sakura stood before him still dark and angry, her eyes fading from the reddish hue they had taken on. And then she smiled, "You know I think Kisame was right about you." She was still breathing, sure Itachi was looking blood thirsty at the moment, but she knew for a fact, that if he didn't have any feelings for her he would have killed her after the first insult had left her mouth.

"Myamichi, you will pay" Itachi snarled, his red eyes spinning, white hot fury radiating off of him.

"Yes. I do believe him now." Sakura murmured and then she smirked, Why do that when we can just kill him? "No this will be more fun.""Itachi, I bet I can stun you with just one move." Sakura declared.

Meanwhile hiding in the bushes was Kisame, Deidara and Tobi all of which were watching in stunned silence as Kira insulted, mocked and then challenged Itachi. Deidara gulped, "I don't get it? Why is Kira still breathing?"

"I told you" Kisame said hurriedly still watching as Kira made her little bet, "Itachi wants sweetness."

"But-"

"Deidara, why are Deidara, Kisame, and Tobi in the bushes."

"Shut up Tobi!" Deidara snapped, "Anyway Kisame it doesn't make sense, not Itachi and Kira!"

"It makes perfect sense, Kira is perfect for Itachi, she's smart, strong, stubborn, funny, doesn't put up with his crap, and most importantly has one sexy as hell kick ass body. Perfect." Kisame countered.

"You're wrong Kisame, Even if Itachi does-" Deidara winced "Even if Itachi does have feelings for Kira, she hates his guts, I mean you've seen her! She pretty much said a few seconds a go that he's a worthless failure at life! She'd never go for him." "Right Kira is safe, she'll be mine. This time Itachi won't-"

"Deidara"

"What Tobi!"

"Why is Kira doing to Itachi?"

Kisame and Deidara spun around to find a sight that seemed to impossible to believe. Kira stood in front off Itachi, on her tip toes, arm wrapped securely around his neck as she kissed him. And worse yet, Itachi in no way at all was trying to resist her.

Kisame howled "Thata girl, sweetness!" Just before an exploding paper bomb flew in their direction.

"Win"


"Well Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked impatiently. They were at one of the Sound bases, but nothing there gave any clues. For the past week they'd been searching for Sasuke, hoping that he'd lead them to Sakura, little did they know that Sasuke and his group Snake were following them.

"Holy shit!" Kankuro shouted from somewhere in the base, "Come check this out! You guys won't believe it!"

The sight before them was truly unbelievable. The center of the base was in ruins. Dead bodies of random Sound ninja littered the ground, blood splattered the walls and floor and weapons were wedged in bodies, walls, or the ground. Splintered wood and dented crumpling concrete barely made up what was left. There was a fowl stench overpowering the air though no one seemed to notice. It was truly a gruesome sight to behold.

"What the hell" Was all Naruto could seem to say.

"This is a truly unyouthful sight!" Lee cried. The others were still to shocked to say anything.

"What happened" Kakashi said, he walked over to one of the dead bodies and inspected it, "They've been dead a while, maybe a month."

"That explains the smell. Let's get out of here." Naruto said and the four headed back to the forest.

Meanwhile Sasuke and Snake(or Hebi, whatever), were in the forest waiting for the group to reappear from the now abandoned base.

"Why are we even here? Isn't this the place where you killed the snake bastard?" Suigetsu asked.

"Duh, of course it is you idiot!" Karin said annoyed.

"Then why are we here?"

"Suigetso" Jugo said sighed, "Just trust Sasuke, he brought us here for a reason."

"Yeah" Karin piped in, always ready to kiss Sasuke's ass.

"What are you his fanclub? Of course seeing as to what you did-"

"Suigetso shut up! You are such an ass." Karin said, a faint blush disappearing as quickly as it had appeared.

"All of you quiet down, they're not that far away." Sasuke murmured, a rare sentence that contained more than four syllables.

"Yeah that's another thing" Suigetso said, not done acting like a spoiled five year old brat, "Why are we following these Leaf babies?"

"Itachi" Was all Sasuke said as an answer.

"What the hell do these guys know about the Akutski, honestly Sasuke?" Suigetso continued ignoring the increasing glares and threats of Karin.

"Arg" Karin groaned, "Shut up baka!" She clenched her hand in a tight fist, one little punch. "Just a warning."

"Karin" Came Sasuke's voice, a warning of his own hidden in his voice. Karin blushed and nodded eagerly at him, ready to obey his every command.

"I'm sooooo sorry Sasuke!" She practically sang, though embarrassment was obvious in her voice. Suigetso snickered from behind her back.

Sasuke in turn just shook his head and sighed. After years of fan girls he no longer cared for their swooning, he was immune. "Then why did she effect me like she did, and still does, what makes her unlike the others?"He thought annoyed. Sasuke hated it when he couldn't figure out an answer. He was an Uchiha, therefore he was always right. If he was ever proved wrong, it meant was just more proof that the entire world was filled with a bunch of no brained incompetent bastards. And by not knowing what was going on that made Sasuke a no brained incompetent bastard as well, that didn't go over too great with the prideful Uchiha prodigy. But there was something about Sakura that was different, the way she acted and cared. She never gave up like the others had. Sasuke had just always expected that she would stay locked in away in a tower waiting for him whenever he felt like returning. It never occurred to him, that she would move on or leave, never. He had never expected her to run off without giving him a second thought, actually if you had said she would two years ago, even two months ago, Sasuke probably would have thought you were some sort of mental case. To him it was the impossible, and now it was very possible. Now not only was he wrong but he had also become something much much worse, he'd become a sissy, a man who loved and cared to deeply with his heart. He might as well have walked around nude, with all the shame he was bringing upon himself.

"Hey Sasuke" Came Jugo's voice, interrupting his mental rant.

"Hn" Sasuke looked up to see his three teammates starring at him confusedly. He ignored the stares and looked blankly at Jugo.

"The Leaf ninja are back, what do you want us to do?" Jugo asked, Sasuke could see what Jugo was praying that he would and wouldn't say.

"Follow them" Sasuke said, relief seemed to overpower the blood thirst in Jugo's eyes.

"Are you sure Kakashi, maybe just that village revolted?" Kankuro said, as the group ran from the recked base.

"No I remember that village, its the one where Sasuke killed Orochimaru, we're not going to find him anywhere near here. And that probably means we won't find Sakura either."

"How do you know Sakura's even following that bastard?" Kankuro asked angrily. Naruto merely growled in response and Kakashi stayed silent for a moment.

"Where else would she go?" He finally said.

Kankuro growled "She can't seriously be after him, the guy is agood for nothing traitor, I know she had a thing for him-"

"She was in love with him." Naruto said in silent rage, "Sasuke may have done a lot of crappy idiotic stuff but Sakura still loves him. Where ever he is she won't be far behind." But even though he said them fiercely there was no passion behind those words.

"But come on the guy has nothing to back him up here, he's got nothing to prove to me that he's worth something besides a fancy last name and an eye trick." Kankuro said stubbornly.

"I do agree that Sasuke has acted most unyouthful of late, but if he must be a man of true youthfulness that my youthful cherry blossom has held pure feelings for him." Lee said his words pained but honest.

However even though his words were true in a way, and wise the other three had already forgotten them, for at the moment they all simmered in silent rage. It was not the beginning of the sentence that bothered them it was what Lee had said in the middle.

"No matter what you think, Lee," They all thought together, "Sakura is my cherry blossom."
