I don't own Naruto and characters etc.

I do own this story so please don't copy it exactly, but you're welcome to as many of my ideas as you like.

With the greatly apreciated permission of BlackElement7, CrimsonSakuratree I begin writing what I hope will be an amazing Story! (Check out their stories (my inspiration): Not Weak!, Untold Secrets).


Chapter 40 -

"Tell you what. I'll go easy on you." Itachi teased.

"Famous last words."

Itachi vanished, reappearing behind her, with a kunai at her neck.

"Clone." He said and struck it."Not bad." He said, turning around to face Anko.

She ran at Itachi, kunai in hand.

Itachi destroyed the clone, before sending 3 shuriken into the nearest tree, hearing all three hit his taget.

Suddenly there was a cry from Anko as she fell, wounded.

It was all Itachi could do, to catch her and carry her to the clearing again.

"I'm sorry." He said, gently removing each of his weapons.

One from her arm, one from her shoulder, and most of all, one from her abdomen.

He took off his shirt, placing it over the sever, heeding the blood flow.

"Not bad yourself." She laughed.

"Ok, where could he be..." Inner paced thoughtfully.

She closed her eyes and searched Konoha for his chakra signature.

"Found you." She said triumphantly, off and bound for the training grounds.

She leapt from the final roof before her destination, running fast towards him.

"Itachi-kun!" She called, desperately. "Itachi-!"

She arrived at a clearing, where she found Itachi and Anko.

"No... no!" She turned around.

Itachi stood and spied Inner running away.

"I'm so sorry, but I have to go, can you make it to the hospital?" He looked at Anko.

"Yeah, sure. Thanks." She replied as he left.

Inner couldn't do it. She gave up, a flash occuring and leaving Sakura, still drunk, but also heart-broken, collapsed on the cold hard road.
