I know I should be updating my stories, but instead I'm writing a twoshot. This is based off of Road to Ninja, so if you haven't seen it, I recommend looking it up. The full thing is on Youtube. Obviously, this contains spoilers. Enjoy!

Everything was wrong. So very very wrong. Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto were still stuck in this fake Tsukuyomi world. They had been too late in trying to return to their own world; the moon had returned to its normal coloring before Sakura had finished deciphering the scroll that Madara had sliced. The evil version of Naruto had vanished and the blond had been forced to tell Kushina and Minato that he hadn't meant what he said before and that he must have hit his head rather hard.

Until Sakura managed to figure out how to return, the two decided to just play along and try to not arouse suspicion in this new world. Naruto didn't mind the extra time with his parents in the slightest. He still cringed at being called Menma, but it was a small price to pay to be with the parents he loved so much.

Sakura was much less fortunate. She was tired of her constantly silent house and would give anything for her mother to nag her again. She and Ino were still best friends in this world, but this Ino was shyer than the normal Hinata, and Sakura just wanted her friend back. And Hinata, Sakura was avoiding her like the plague. She was extremely hostile and threatened Sakura anytime she was within a five foot radius of Naruto. She missed the intelligent conversations she would have with Shikamaru; the one here could barely handle a conversation without irritating her.

And Sasuke…he was completely reversed. He flirted with every attractive girl in sight and frequently implored Sakura to tell him when she was upset. She didn't trust this Sasuke in the slightest. She also wasn't sure about whether or not he trained with Orochimaru or hated his brother or the circumstances behind the Uchiha massacre, since that was one of the few things that had not changed. If Tsunade-sama had hired the Akatsuki, it must mean that Itachi was either innocent or too powerful to refuse his help.

These musings continued as she walked around Konoha (or, at least she thought it was still called that) in a daze. Maybe she'd ask Sasuke about his family. He was less secretive, so he might actually tell her. She'd have to be clever about it, though, since she was expected to already know this.

Speak of the devil, there he was. He was talking to some busty brunette and flashed her a grin. Sakura snorted. It was still absurd to see Sasuke acting like this. It no longer hurt as it once did, however. This was not the man she fell in love with and just wanted the real Sasuke, as unrealistic as that desire was. As she walked by, she grabbed Sasuke by the back of his shirt and dragged him down the street without even breaking her stride. She made it about half a block before he wrenched himself out of her clutches.

"Sakura, what was that for? I was in the middle of something!"

"More like you would have been if I hadn't come by." She rolled her eyes while he smirked. "I actually had a question for you."

His smirk intensified. "Oh, now you're interested. I'm sorry my dear Sakura-chan, but you missed you chance."

Sakura punched him none too lightly on the arm. "Oh, shut up, Sasuke-kun. I was actually wondering about your brother." He shot her a questioning look before she continued. "I mean, do you ever see him?"

His questioning look fell towards an expression of indifference. "Yeah, sometimes. If he's finished with a job near the area, we'll have dinner or something. Why?" He stopped to stare her down.

She merely shrugged. "I'd just like to talk to him is all."

A sly grin slowly appeared on Sasuke's face. "You've fallen madly in love with him since he rescued you and want to thank him properly!" He eyed her in a slightly less than predatory way, appraising her. Sakura slapped the back of his head in indignation. "Oww, okay okay, so maybe not. But I'll tell you when I see him next. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a conversation to get back to." He winked over Sakura's shoulder to the girl from before while Sakura just scoffed.

"Go get 'em, tiger," she grumbled before marching to the archives. She had established that she was still the Hokage's apprentice, so she still had access to files. She had also checked her age groups files to see if the jutsu was the same. While she was still confused as to how Shikamaru used his jutsu without a strategic thinking style and how Shino and Kiba managed when one despised bugs and the other hated dogs, there were no changes. The teams had remained the same as well. How team 10 functioned was beyond her.

Upon arriving, Sakura delved deep into the files to try and find something on the Uchiha massacre. Surprisingly, it wasn't hidden as well as she expected. Sakura grabbed the scroll and plopped down where she was unceremoniously and began to read.

Sasuke and Itachi were the only two Uchiha still living, that much remained the same. However, Itachi had been out on a mission when the massacre happened, providing him with an airtight alibi. The culprit was never identified, but assumed to be the masked man that was the evil Naruto. No justice ever happened and Itachi had left the village soon after. The Sandaime hadn't specified the reason in his report. It did state that he had never taken a job that went against Konoha (guess the name is the same) or compromised it in any way.

Why Itachi was the leader of the Akatsuki instead of Pein still escaped her, but this was a boatload of information she hadn't known before. From her brief encounter, his personality appeared unchanged as well as his intelligence. If there was anyone that might know something about this crimson moon and any way of undoing Tsukuyomi, it was Itachi. Unfortunately, there was nothing to do except wait for Itachi to come around.

It was another month before Sasuke fatefully invited Sakura to come have dinner with him and Itachi. Sakura had thrown herself into as many shifts at the hospital as she could physically handle in the meantime. As terrible as it sounds, Sakura had been trying to minimize the amount of chakra she used on each patient, yet still achieve maximum results. Her reasoning was that it the patients are fake anyway and would it help with her stamina. With her level of chakra control, there wasn't much improvement that could be done, but it was worth a shot. She had a golden opportunity as a medic and was going to take advantage of it as long as she could.

She knocked on Sasuke's front door and waited. At least he still lived in the same place, that much was unlikely to change. She was definitely nervous. After all, the last time she had seen the real Itachi, it was from across the battlefield. Even though it was a fake with only a quarter of his strength, he was the most powerful shinobi she had ever come across. Fighting him alone with him at full strength is a terrifying prospect. Even her last encounter with this Itachi was strange. She was grateful that he rescued her, but was not overly pleased that he felt the need to keep a vice-like grip on her forearm or carry her like she was a damsel in distress. It had definitely took some convincing her him to let her go after Naruto. Why he was so protective, she had no idea.

Before she could think more about it, Sasuke opened the door and smiled at her. Even though she had no romantic inclination towards this Sasuke, she could not help but be taken by his smile. "Hi Sasuke-kun, I hope I'm not late." She rubbed her upper arm sheepishly. This amount of nerves was ridiculous. He shook his head and stood aside for her to come in. She did so and followed him to the dining room.

"You're just in time, Sakura. Dinner is almost ready, just go sit at the table." He walked towards the kitchen to leave her by herself. Evidently, Itachi had not arrived yet. Three places were set: the head of the table, and the left and right hand side. Sakura sat on the left and looked around, trying to find any sort of minute difference from the real world. When she found none, she glared at her plate in frustration. After a few seconds of doing so, she felt eyes on her. Mentally cringing and fearing just who she would find, she slowly turned her head. Fears confirmed, she looked to find Uchiha Itachi staring at her with a very slight raise of his eyebrow.

"I was making sure Sasuke hadn't done anything to the plate. He'd find it hilarious if it broke." Itachi shot her a mildly amused look before taking his place across from her.

"I'm Sakura, by the way."

Itachi inclined his head in respond. "Itachi."

When Sasuke returned from the kitchen carrying three steaming plates of shrimp tempura and onigiri, scared of what he would find. Sakura and Itachi were the smartest ninja he knew and an argument between the two would be astronomical. Or, would he find them doing things he would definitely prefer not to picture his brother and teammate doing, especially not together? He craned his ears for any kind of warning they could discern. He heard a low murmur of conversation, but could not gather specifics. Bracing himself, he walked in to see his brother and teammate talking.

"Probably scarring on the retina and fraying of the optic nerve, causing a leak in chakra, making it as inefficient as it is dangerous." Sakura stared down Itachi, waiting on his rebuttal.

"It is not inefficient, it-" He stopped when he saw Sasuke. It took Sasuke a minute to recover before he placed the plates down in front of his guests and then took his place at the head of the table.

After dinner, Sakura briefly excused herself, probably to go to the bathroom. As soon as she was out of the room, Sasuke rounded on Itachi with a look that demanded answers. "What in the world were you two arguing about?"

"The finer points of Sharingan usage." Itachi looked troubled before he continued. "There's something about your teammate." Sasuke smirked and was about to make a rather inappropriate pass before catching the look on Itachi's face and closed his mouth. "Something about her chakra seems off."

Sasuke looked puzzled. "She's the same old Sakura. A bit more withdrawn, but nothing unusual." Itachi still didn't look convinced and a look of understanding crossed Sasuke's face. "And what exactly do you plan to do to find out more?" Itachi merely smirked.

Sakura returned to find the two brothers having a staring contest and was hesitant to interrupt. After all, she had found out some useful information from Itachi. Turns out, the moon would change color at the next full moon, which was four weeks away. While Itachi had been understandably reluctant to disclose details of Tsukuyomi, once Sakura explained that she was a medic-nin and had a natural affinity for genjutsu, he had been more informative. The only way to break it is if another Sharingan user with the same blood as the caster tries, and even then it is difficult. Meaning, only Sasuke or Itachi could break this. Sakura had yet to figure out just how to get their assistance when Itachi broke her out of her reverie.

"Sakura." She snapped her head over to look at him while Sasuke watched his brother curiously. "You may attempt to heal my eyes, if you wish."

Okay, as much as I adore ItaSaku, it's absolutely insane when it is more canon than SasuSaku in a movie. I mean really, Itachi's constant hold on Sakura is more than the situation required. I loved it to bits, but the lack of realism troubles me. Anyway, reviews are awesome. I could really go for some of those.
