Chapter 1.

This is my second fanfic...My stories are linked so if you don't understand the part about talking about Itachi then you might want to read my first Fanfic..."Sasuke vs. Itachi". Please review, I take flames.

'Surprisingly I am the first one here.' A young pink haired kanoichi thought. She leaned over the rail of the bridge to look at the water. 'Normally Sasuke is the first one here.' Sakura paused. 'I can't believe I said that last night. Now, when I get back I am stuck living on my own.'

Sakura felt Sasuke's presence. She didn't have to turn to know what he was doing. Sasuke was in his usual spot leaning on the rail. Probably off in space thinking about how he killed his brother a month earlier.

'Something is wrong. She seems different-err than usual.' Sasuke thought to himself.

Sakura hasn't talked to him since she got out of the hospital after the battle with Itachi. It's been a month since then, and now that team seven is back together Sakura doesn't even notice he is there.

(sigh) 'Before the whole Itachi thing she always used to talk me. Especially when I carried her back. She wouldn't shut up.'

Naruto walked up to his spot on the bridge and sat on the rail. "Good morning Sakura-Chan." Naruto said brightly. "Good morning Teme." Sasuke nodded. Naruto turned to Sakura, waiting for her response to the greeting. She didn't turn. "What's with her?" Sasuke shrugged.

Two hours later leaves scattered everywhere. Along with that, Kakashi appeared with his normal delighted expression. "Good morning." He said coolly.

"You're late!" Naruto shouted, Sakura not joining in. Her back still faced towards them.

"You see what happened was" Kakashi replied.

"Liar!" Naruto yelled, cutting him off.

(Sigh) "Ok. Our mission. Let's see. It is gonna be a long one ranging to about two months. We have to retrieve a certain necklace." Kakashi paused.

'I wonder what's up with her; she didn't join in at yelling at me this morning.' He thought.

"There are 2 different places to where it could be. Each is far away. Pack for all seasons." Naruto opened his mouth to speak. "Meaning we are to be in really hot places and really cold places, Naruto." Kakashi finished cutting his student off. Naruto closed his mouth.

"Dobe." Sasuke said.

"Meet me here in an hour." Kakashi vanished. Naruto walked off.

Sakura finally turned realizing that the briefing was over. Sasuke watched, noticing the scar on her right arm (I wonder were that came from) and a cut on her cheekbone. Sakura noticed his stare. She slowly started to walk away. Sasuke hurriedly grabbed her wrist. She turned to face him, staring into his onyx eyes.

"What happened?" He questioned. She ripped her hand from his grip.

'I'm not going to tell him anything.' Thought she. The next thing she knew she was spilling her guts to him. "I got into trouble with my parents." She explained. Sasuke expression was confused. Sakura's eyes drifted to the ground. "A shuriken skid across my face."

"They threw it at you?" He choked.

She nodded slowly. "I just got into a lot of trouble." Her eyes were glued to the ground. Sasuke couldn't find words. He never thought that Sakura, the "innocent" one would get into trouble. She broke the silence. "I'm going to go pack." Sasuke stood there in silence as she left.
