Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Naruto.

Sakura dropped down into a clearing, expecting to see her targets; a group of rogue ninja that have been causing trouble in and around Konoha. However what she found she did not expect. Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki stood surrounded by dead bodies of her targets.

"What are you two doing here" Sakura asked with coldness in her voice.

"We came for you pinky you should be happy" Kisame said with fake happiness

"Besides we killed all these ninja just so you wouldn't have to" Kisame continued to taut

"Wouldn't want you to be to tried so you wouldn't put up that much of a fight, now would we." Kisame finished earning a growl from the female ANBU.

"Enough" Itachi said cooly in a monotone type of way.

"Kunoichi you will come with us" Itachi continued

"Why? If you think your going to get Naruto that way then your wrong." "And if you want me to heal your eyes then you got another thing coming to you" Sakura said through clenched teeth.

"Oh, that's right Itachi we didn't even think of the Kyubi" Kisame said/exclaimed

Sakura sweatdropped

"You might of forgotten Kisame but I did not" "And I am not interseted in the 9-tails fox right now" Itachi stated monotone.

"You will heal my eyes kunoichi or you will die." Itachi said

"Not going to happen" Sakura said with furry in her eyes (a/n: there masked by he wolf mask so they can't see them)

"So be it" Itachi said as he began charging at Sakura.

'Faster, Faster, Faster' was the only though on Sasuke Uchiha's mind as he ran through the trees of Konoha's territory. Orochimaru was dead had been for two months. And Sasuke was heading back to Konoha since he hadn't gotten any word on his brother;except the information Sakura had given him;. He was almost back at Konoha when he picked up the chakra signature of Itachi. And as Sasuke ran he began to feel Sakura's charka as well, causing him to come to one conclusion. Sakura and Itachi were fighting. As sasuke got closer he could hear the sound of metal clashing and smell blood much to his horror. But when he reached the clearing; hidding up in a tree with his own charka masked; he was relieved to see the smell of blood had mostly come from dead rogue ninjas. He was forced to watch Sakura take on Kisame and Itachi by herself since his body refused to move.

Sakura dodged several blows from Samehada; kisames sword. She dodged several kunai from Itachi while countering with her own, then charging with her sword in hand. Itachi parried, then continued with a round-house kick to her side and a jab to her head. Both which hit Sakura. Kisame came up and cut Sakura's left arm, causing blood to flow from the long and somewhat deep cut. Sakura jumped out of the way, her eyes black, the darkess green there is if you were to look closely; showing that her bloodline was activaded. She put her hands together to form several hand seals, creating a genjutsu. Sasuke felt the charka around the clearing and him but found that he was not trapped in the jutsu. Kisame had a dumbfolded expression on his face, while Itachi looked stoic as ever. Sakura noticed the look in Itachi's face as he did several hand seals and broke through the jutsu. Sakura tried to get away but was got in the aftershock of dispelling the jutsu. The one bad thing about that jutsu, when cancelled the person(s) who created it or are around it get flown backwards and seriously injured.

Sakura flew back and hit a large tree. Itachi walked over towards the female. Only for the female to disappear.

"Shadow clone" Itachi said.

"We going after her? I can smell her blood." Kisame stated/asked

"Let go." Was the command given.

Sasuke dropped out of his hidding place. There was no way he was about to let the priestest's vision come true.

-Flashback-

Sasuke, Kabuto, and Orochimaru arrived at a temple. They had lost the first Dragon Twin scroll, and didn't plan on losing the other scroll. A priestest came out, she look just like her sister, long flowing silver blue hair and light blue eyes.

"what are you doing here Orochimaru?" The priestest asked

"I want the Dragon Twin scroll that you have." " and I will take it by force if nessasary." Orochimaru continued.

"Sorry but another has already taken it back to where it belongs..Kohona." The priestest said in a sweet voice.

-insert vision-

"Sasuke" the priestest called

"You will obtain what you want the most in life, however it will cost someone dear to you their life." The priestest said in a monotone voice and was spacing out.

"Orochimaru bewhare of the death and destruction in your path." The priestest continued. She pull herself together once the vision was over. Orochimaru laughed evilly

"the is always death and destuction where I go, you fool." Orochimaru turned and left with Kabuto, yet Sasuke stayed behind for a moment.

"What did you mean by the vision you gave me?" Sasuke said, though he did have an idea on what she was talking about.

"She will die by Itachi's hands if you do not act soon" " Do you wish that?"

"Never"

"Then kill Orochimaru before the third month, and find your brother." The priestest said before disappearing back inside the temple.

-End Flashback-

Not if he could prevent it. Sakura was not going to die.

"Itachi" Sasuke stated.

"Foolish little brother, I was beginning to think you were not going to reviel yourself."

"However you are still to weak to fight me." Itachi began walking in the direction of Sakura's charka.

"Don't even think about it, you are going to fight me here and now" Sasuke said with determination.

"Very well foolish little brother." Itachi replied

"Itachi, I'm gonna go after pinky,"

"I need her alive, don't kill her." Itachi stated monotone cutting Kisame off. The latter of the two nodded and then disappeared. Itachi turned back to Sasuke, the two charged at one another. Thus the fight beginning.

Kisame appeared in a clearing not far away, accucally it was only one clearing over. Sakura stood panting heavily from blood and chakra loose, her back was turned. But she could still feel Kisame's chakra.

Kisame started attacking the ANBU, the latter not doing so good. Kisame managed to get several more deep cuts on the female. Sakura charged at Kisame

'This has to work' Sakura thought

Kisame shock his head, he sent some chakra into his feet and kicked Sakura fully in the gut, causing her to fly backwards and hit a large tree.

"AHHHHHHHH" Sakura screamed. She droped onto the ground mostionless. Kisame walked over and kicked her twice. That confirmed it she was dead. Kisame shock his head and started to walk back to his partner.

'Itachi's not gonna be happy that she is dead, but she did refuse to heal his eyes' he thought

Itachi and Sasuke stood several feet away from eachother. They heard a scream and looked off into that direction.

'Shit, I thought the priestest said Itachi would end up killing her, damn I let down the last person I care for' Sasuke thought angerly at himself.

"Tsk, Tsk…What a shame, now I'm going to have to find another medic ninja to heal my eyes." Itachi said, yet he didn't sound upset at all, which angered the younger Uchiha even more.

Sakura twitched, her fingers moving, then her arms pushed her up and off the ground.

"Damn so glad I studied medical ninjutsu, I would have really died" Sakura said to herself as she started limping to the other clearing. Her eye sight was just about gone. Her body wanted to rest, and to sleep, but she keep going.

Kisame walked into the clearing, the two Uchiha brothers serperated once again. Sasuke had blood on his hand and arm, but it wasn't his. It was Itachi's. Sasuke managed to hit his brother's arm and side, out of rage and sadness of loosing a loved one.

"Sorry Itachi I tried talking her into corroperating, but she continuesuly refused so I got rid of her." Kisame said with a smirk.

"Doesn't matter she was to weak"Itachi stated monotone.

"How the hell can you say that, she is nowhere near weak" Sasuke yelled.

-Uff- The two Uchiha's looked over at a now-dead Kisame that had several kunai, shuriken, and a sword. The two's eyes traveled till it landed on a blood covered ANBU, its mask was long gone, showing a cut and bloodied face of a pissed of Sakura.

Sasuke felt reviled yet worried at the same time. Relieved that Sakura was in fact alive, yet worried because he could barely feel her chakra and the amout of blood she has lost.

"Leave" Sakura stated

Both Uchiha's raised a brow.

"Itachi Uchiha leave Kohona's territory, take your dead partner's body and leave. Itachi looked at his brother that was silently fumming. Itachi walked over to Kisame's body and picked it up.

"I will kill you next time Kunoichi" Itachi said

"Don't count on it" Sakura spat back.

Itachi disapeared. Sakura sank down to the ground, her body could no longer hold her weight.

'Does she not know I am here, and that she just let my fuckin brother go.' Sasuke thought.

He did a double take on Sakura and found that she was close to passing out.

'So she doesn't know I am here' Sasuke thought

But another thought plagued his mind

'Do I go after Itachi and kill him completely and risk loosing Sakura for good or do I let him go and save Sakura's life.'

Sasuke shock his head, this was bad. He took one last look at Sakura before disappearing, and going after his brother.(a/n: wise choice sasuke let sakura die)

Sasuke ran fast and caught up to his bastard of a brother. There fight quickly started up once more. And thanks to the wound Sasuke had inflicted on Itachi before, was starting to take its toll on him.

Sakura stood up, she slowly and unstably walked over to the dead bodies and fished for the scroll she was sent to get back. About 20 more rogue ninja jumped down and out of the trees.

"You, how could you kill our comards by yourself?" one of the men asked.

"Whatever I didn't kill these men." Sakura said.

"Lies you shall die for what you have done."

Thus starting another fight only Sakura was able to end it quickly and make it out with a couple extra wounds, that where really starting to slow her down.

"Foolish little brother, you came after me, yet the Kunoichi is going to die because of your foolish mistake." Itachi said

"No, your wrong she will make it till I get back to her." Sasuke said trying to convice himself more than Itachi.

"You don't get it do you, when I left about 20 more ninja were coming to take down whoever it was who killed their comards." Itachi said with a sadistic smirk on his face.

"Shit" Sasuke cursed.

He formed the hand signes for his chidori, he charged at Itachi, and hit him right in the chest. Itachi fell to the forest floor once Sasuke removed his hand.

"Congradulations little brother, you were able to kill me" Itachi said as he coughed up blood.

"Now go and make sure you take care of you cherry blossom, be happy" Was Itachi's last words before he closed his eyes for good with a content smile on his face.

"Brother, I will be happy" Sasuke whispered before taking off into an even faster run to try to get to Sakura in time.

Sasuke reached the clearing, yet there was no Sakura, but there was about 20 extra dead bodies that were not there before.

'Hang on Sakura I'm coming.' Sasuke thought as he began to follow the faint chakra signature.

Sasuke found Sakura barely awake leaning against a tree for support. He watched as she slid down, her body couldn't take it any more. Sasuke was at her side in a minute.

"Sakura" Sasuke whispered

Said female looked up

"who –pant- are –pant you?" sakura asked

"Sasuke"

the female's eyes widened.

"You let my brother go, but I killed him. All explain later right now I need to get you back to Kohona."

"Are you going to stay?" Sakura asked raspy

"Yes" Sasuke said and he sealed the promise with a kiss. He quickly yet carefully picked Sakura up and began running towards Kohona. It was faint but Sasuke heard it and whispered the same thing back

"I love you"
