Kuroi and Akai - Chapter One
Sakura slowly walked down the dark corridors to the locked ward. That was where the Konoha Shinobi treated their enemies, or simply locked them up. With every step towards her destination, her heart began beating faster.
Flashback
Sakura knocked on the door of her Shishou's office. "Come in!" Sakura entered the room and took a seat. "So what's it, Tsunade-Shishou?" She asked curious about the sudden call of her teacher. Sakura was the head of the hospital now and had plenty to do, and she had surpassed Tsunade in healing abilities some time ago, too. Even if she loved her work she likes to go on missions every now and then and today she hoped for one. "Sakura, I've a mission for you."
Jackpot! Her Inner yelled and did a little dance. Sakura merely smiled, she had learned to keep her emotions in check. "So, what is it?" She asked. The Hokage frowned. "I hate to give you this one…" She murmured. "It's simply too dangerous for you to handle and to keep an eye on." This got Sakura's attention. "Hey, I've gotten a lot stronger! I've passed the Jonin exams half a year ago!" She was a little angry. Why does everyone still think I'm weak? It annoys me… She thought. "You're right." Tsunade sighed. "We have captured a S-Class-Criminal. He's on the locked section already. Like I said, you have to watch him and get some information. I already treated his wounds, you have to take care he doesn't do anything stupid, understood?" Sakura nodded. "Who is it?" She asked exited. There was a small silence and the Hokage took a deep breath before saying
"Itachi Uchiha."
Flashback ends
Finally she reached the door of Itachi's room. Shishou said he should be still asleep, so I will just drain his Chakra and look after him in the morning again. It's after midnight already… She thought to calm herself down. With a quiet 'click' she opened the door and stepped into the room, closing the door behind her again. She felt for the light switch when someone grabbed her hand and put a hand over her mouth to stifle a scream. "Sssh." A low voice whispered. Sakura relaxed shortly, just to gather Chakra in her feet and kick the person. She missed, but he had let go of her, and she quickly switched the light on.
There he stood in front of her, the emotionless murderer of the whole Uchiha clan: Itachi Uchiha.
Emotionless? Look at his face, girl! And so she did.
Sakura would have laughed, if it wouldn't have been Itachi she was standing in front of: He had no Sharingan and his onyx pools were filled with guilt. In a strange way it made him look like a lost puppy - Which totally did not fit with the person behind the name Itachi Uchiha.
He stood besides a table and seemed to hesitate. As he finally made a step forward, Sakura took one step back. "I'm sorry, if I scared you…I didn't want to, I'm just…confused." His voice was a soft whisper. Sakura merely nodded puzzled. That's totally not what I expected! Her inner could just nod in agreement. "What is it? You don't have to act like this." She said.
Itachi frowned. "Acting?" Then his face lit shortly up showing realization, before his eyes shone with pain. It stuck Sakura as highly odd to see that. "Who are you?" he asked and it sounded a little shy. "Sakura Haruno. I'm the doctor." She replied soft, still not sure how to react. He nodded. "So I'm at the hospital. My name is Itachi Uchiha, right?" He asked and suddenly it hit Sakura. "You don't remember anything?" She asked shocked.
"I could barely remember my name, when I woke up. So I think that's the reason why I'm here, first of all. Do you know what's wrong with me?" Sakura shook her head, "But if you lie down, I can check. " He did as he was told. "What's the last thing you remember?" She asked, while she let some Chakra flow in his head. "I can't really say, what the last thing is, just that all I've left are memories from my 8-year old self."
There was a small silence and Sakura had finished her check. "And doctor Haruno-San?" Itachi asked. Sakura sighed. "I've found nothing. I will ask my Sensei about that. You should take some rest now." She made her way to the door.
"Haruno-San?" Sakura turned around. "Yes?" Itachi looked her straight in the eyes. "Were we friends?" he asked. Now he showed no emotion.
"No, we weren't... I think it's better if I go now." Sakura went to unlock the door. "Will you come to visit me again?" As she turned around and Itachi saw her pained expression he felt guilty again. "Did I say something wrong, Haruno-San? Or used I to be a murderer, back then?" This disturbed Sakura, until she noticed he had made a joke. She forced herself to smile and replied, "I'll come tomorrow again" After a short thought she added "And it's Sakura." With that she left.
A new Story of mine. I can't stand the evil-bastard Itachi, so I decided to make him a little nicer.
Hope you liked it, so tell me!
