My name is Sakura Haruno and I go to Koniha High School, this is my senior year and it's the same as it's always been. I don't get too much attention and that's just the way I like it, I don't like being the center of attention with a million rumors going on about me for something I didn't even do most likely. I liked to dress up like I don't care. I go with sweaters or long sleeves and long pants that are too big for me.

Most people think it's because I'm a tomboy, but that's not the reason why I dress like that. I want to dress a little girly; I think every girl does just a little. But I don't dress the way I want to because my parents don't let me they don't let me wear makeup either. If I tell them to buy something for me they refuse before I even finish my sentence.

So you see it's not my fault.

But regardless I'm still considered a nerd to everyone in the school because I'm thee top ranking in grades for girls and the second smartest overall, I'm second to Shikamaru Nara who I've heard is a genius.

My high school is a bit different though, most people who are in this school are in here because of their amazing grades or their amazingly rich parents or family members.

There is always a group known throughout the whole school, it's called AKATSUKI. And for as long as anyone can remember it's always been around once the AKATSUKI members are leaving they choose new members in front of everyone and from there they are known as AKATSUKI. No one really messes with AKATSUKI, they're kind of like a gang. At first I heard everyone would think they were delinquents but not anymore.

Don't get me wrong it's not like you have to be rich to be in that group, more like you need to know how to fight. AKATSUKI is honored very highly by the teachers and the principal. They have their own table for crying out loud! It says AKATSUKI reserved.

They're a group that keeps the peace, if someone is stepping out of line they straighten them out. They keep a close eye on the popular rich kids; they're usually the ones they deal with the most.

I think it's because of them that the school is a little safer.

Sure the teachers and principals all know that the AKATUSKI members know how to fight and that's how they're settling everything but they do not interfere because they know they won't kill them and it gets everyone in their place and keeps the innocent students safe.

"Watch it geek!" I heard before my books got knocked down and I was being thrown down the stairs. I saw everything in slow motion for a moment and for a second I saw a glimpse of my parents laughing. I blinked and I saw Karin laughing while the other girls told her how beautiful and cool is she was. I thought I would die there, surely I wouldn't survive the fall and if I did I would have serious brain damage. I brazed myself for the worst to come and closed my eyes. I'd rather not see my blood flying everywhere.

I didn't feel the floor, instead a felt rough yet gentle hands grab me before I hit the floor, suddenly I was glad that I wasn't as fat as I felt.

"What's wrong with you!?" A deep voice said in an angry tone.

"Who the hell are you?" Karin responded back before she started walking closer and closer to my hero. Then suddenly her inter personality changed as if she saw a model. "You know…I can make all you're fantasies come true." She said in a seductive voice before she slowly started to remove her shirt.

I didn't want to see it, I looked away terrified. I buried my face in a strangers chest, whoever he is he is very well build.

"Get the hell away from me you disgusting excuse for a lady, I can't believe you're dating my younger brother. You disgust me." He spat. I don't think he meant to do it but he held me tighter.

"Excuse me?! How dare you tell me such a thing! I'm telling Sasuke-" She was saying before she got cut off.

"Don't bother." I heard another voice cut her off, it was also deep and silky, except it was a little more serious than the stranger that was holding me.

"I think I heard about everything I need to. So they were right, you were only dating me so you can get away with pushing kids around. It's over Karin, and you better watch your back, because AKATUSKI has had their eyes on you for a while now, and there is nothing holding them back anymore." He said before walking towards us.

"Let's go Itachi." He said and I looked up to see the stranger nod, but I couldn't take my eyes off of him, he was beautiful. He picked me up bridal style without a warning but I couldn't respond because I was so focused on him.

"You can't do that to me Sasuke!" I heard her scream, so the rumors were true, she was dating him. I heard he's so handsome he is every girls dream boy, though I never got the chance to see him because I was always busy trying to become a doctor to make my parents proud. But now that I got a look at him I could see why every girl would want to make him theirs.

I forgot that my eyes were tearing up and before I knew it I felt his long warm fingers wipe a tear away.

"It's ok now." I heard his sweet voice whisper in my ear, Itachi's voice is lovely.

"Yea we aren't together anymore, do whatever she deserves." I heard Sasuke say while he was on the phone.

"Told you she was no good Sasuke." Itachi said.

"Whatever, you don't have a good girl by your side either Itachi, I mean we both now that Mai is after your money." Sasuke said and Itachi chuckled.

"Touché little brother, well why don't you tell me where a nice girl that isn't interested in money is?" Itachi said in a joking matter.

"What about that girl you're holding?" Sasuke joked with a smirk that kind of took my breath away for a second, until I realized what he said.

Who? ME?! No, no, no. I was about to jump out of his hands when he said:

"She seems fragile; I need someone who's tough."

No…he didn't.

"Did you just call me fragile!?" I said getting off. "I am not weak!" I said trying to punch him but ended up break a vase instead. I retreated my hand after feeling a little embarrassed for missing.

"Don't speak ill of me if you don't know who I am or my life." I said getting angry, I know that I might never stand up to my parents but I hate it when others put me down. They don't know what I've been through!

Feeling a little embarrassed I turned and ran.

The nerve of that guy! I've been through tough times, he doesn't know!

…he doesn't know. I thought again before clutching my stomach.

AKATSUKI is a very important group inside the school….but outside everything is fair, and AKATSUKI isn't there to protect you anymore. I feel like I just walked into something I can't walk out of now.

Damn….just when I was being left alone too. Well hopefully it doesn't turn out to bite me in the ass. I sighed and ran to my next class before I was late.

There is it! My first attempt at Sakura and Itachi. I hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it and I'll update as soon as I can ^-^
