Chapter 1: Little Devils: Meet Naruto and Sasuke!

Sakura, Ino, and Hinata currently find themselves staring at a large compound belonging to the most powerful shinobi in the village; the famous Uchihas'. Their mouths split wide open in shock, astonishment, and bewilderment. How did they get there you may ask, well it was a simple, yet complicated act.

(Flashback)

Sakura spotted a lady around her late 50s sweeping outside her house and approached her with hope. "Excuse me ma'am, I don't suppose you have any work for us? My sisters and I are homeless and in desperate need of some money. Could we possibly do some labor in exchange for some money?" Sakura asked hopingly. The lady was the tenth person to ask already. How much longer would they have to go to get some work?

The old lady looked at them in pity as she eyed Sakura, and her two younger sisters. "Oh I'm so sorry dear, but we don't really need any help and we can't afford to pay anyone, but I truly wish you the best of luck in you finding a job for yourselves. I'm sure you'll be able to find something soon."

'Not so likely' Sakura thought angrily.

"Are you sure, we come from a village that just had a gruesome war not too long ago, we really have nothing." Sakura said hoping she would give in.

Everyone she had asked so far had looked at them in distaste, and harshly turned them down. Some wouldn't even bother hearing her out first. She never even got to explain her parents had died in a gruesome war and now she found herself homeless, penniless, and with no food. One thing she was full of though, was anger and determination. How could these people be so inconsiderate of her situation? She had heard Konoha was a nice town from where she had lived. Apparently, they weren't all too kind to foreigners. This lady was different though, she at least heard Sakura out first before rejecting her.

"I really can't afford to give anything, I'm so sorry." The lady said before she disappeared into her own home.

"What a nice lady." Sakura stated sarcastically out loud as she glared at the door. Just looking at the house she could tell she definitely had enough money to spare.

"Yeah, I thought elderly people usually needed help doing stuff." Her younger sister, Ino added. Sakura chuckled as Hinata, her other younger sister, and Ino started laughing together.

"But what are we going to do girls, we can't search all day. We're exhausted as it is, traveling for a whole day without relaxing is not very helpful either. How are we supposed to find jobs?" Sakura thought with a sigh. She felt like giving up already.

"I-I'm sure we'll f-find something Sakura-neechan." Hinata said supportively.

While Sakura had been discussing with the cough-mean-cough old lady, Itachi happened to be conveniently passing by and had happened to overhear their conversation. He quickly went up to Sakura with an idea in mind.

"You need food and shelter in exchange for work." he asked even though it sounded nothing like a question; a statement would be more like it. Sakura nodded a little cautiously. She looked at the man up and down; he didn't seem too bad. He seemed decent enough. She guessed she could trust him. "I have work, follow." He stated simply.

Sakura quickly gave a huge smile "Thank you so much! I will assure you, you will not regret it." Sakura said as she stared lovingly at her two sisters.

Itachi eyed each of them. They looked nothing alike. One had pink hair, the other, blonde, and the other a dark purple. Not to mention their eyes as well. One had green, the other had blue, and the last had… a pearlish white looking color.

Sakura noticed him staring and knew what he was thinking. "They're my… adopted sisters, you could say." Sakura stated simply. She decided not to give out too much information; that would only lead to the part that Sakura found them in an alley way about to get raped and killed. She didn't need to bring back those horrible memories for her lovable sisters.

Itachi nodded before he turned around and started walking. Sakura grabbed Ino's and Hinata's hands and kept them close to her while they followed the strange man, who was about to save their lives. Was this man an angel sent down from heaven or what? He was giving them food, shelter, and money. What would the job be though?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Itachi was passing by when he managed to overhear a girl needed some work. He looked her up and down. Her clothes was torn in several places and a bit dirty and untidy. He didn't know why the thought came to mind, but maybe she could help him. His parents could not find any maids. Why? Because everyone was way too damn obsessed with Itachi to actually get any work done around the house. They would usually only squeal when they saw him. Plus, Itachi kept noticing some of his clothes went missing every time he made a maid wash them.

Even though Itachi did not show it, that was utterly creepy and downright disturbing. Where did the sanity of the people go? Who in their right minds would steal someone's clothes like that? Oh wait, almost the entire teenage female population in Konoha. That's who. That is, only if it was Itachi's clothes we were talking about.

Much to his best friend and elder cousin's dismay, none of his maids had ever tried doing anything like that. On the contraire actually, some of the maids felt disgusted washing his clothes, or more precisely, undergarments. While on the other hand, Itachi had to buy more almost every week for the lack of his own. Sometimes he thought his cousin had it easier. Scratch that, he knew his cousin had it easier. No fan girls, no clan duties, no little brothers, and no strict father, or over excited mother.

And now Itachi found himself searching for some more maids. Especially now that news leaked out. Itachi was becoming of age and he would soon have to take the position of the clan's head, since he was the heir and all. It was hard enough finding maids back then, but now that everyone knew he needed a bride-to-be, he couldn't even go a day without hearing squeals, giggles, and what not all around the house. He got fed up with the by the end of day 4 and fired almost all the maids excluding just a very tiny amount. That tiny amount being all the elderly maids who had proper decency, respect, and were raised better to know not to steal someone's clothes.

His parents got fed up of course, and forced him to find his own maids since they would be taking the once he didn't fire as their personal maids. And now, he found himself taking three girls home. Something in the back of Itachi's mind couldn't help but warn him that this was a bad idea. The girl was fifteen or sixteen, she would surely fall for his looks as well.

But then again, the girl had said they came from a different village. She knew nothing of him, so maybe, the chances of her falling for him were slightly smaller. Most girls not only fell for him for his looks, but because of his power and status.

He had become ANBU at age 13, making him the youngest ANBU in Konoha, and he was the heir of the Uchiha Clan. What would girls think seeing rich, powerful, extremely hot male in need of a bride to take over the clan? Of course, they would be all over him, now wouldn't they?

So now the only thing stopping Itachi from hiring them was the fact that Sakura could possibly be a fan girl, and possibly not. Either way, it was worth a shot. He had most likely already gone through all the female population trying to search for a suitable maid. Sadly, he had found none, and she was the only one else he could think of.

(End of Flashback)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As the four made their way to their new house, Sakura couldn't help but notice many, if not all, the girl population was glaring at her, and her sisters. Sakura unconsciously brought her sisters closer to her while grabbing on to their hands tighter. They had killing intent written all over them. If anyone even dared touch a single hair on the heads of her precious sisters, she would make sure they never lived to see tomorrow.

They soon stopped at the beginning of the compound. "T-This is where you live?!" said an overly enthusiastic Ino. Sakura just stared at it without saying a word. She hadn't seen a house so fancy, nice, and luxurious since… before they village was destroyed. She tried to keep her mind away from the fact that everyone she once knew was now dead, and tried to keep a steady face. Luckily, the years of training as a ninja helped her mask her emotions greatly.

"Hn" was all Ino got as a reply from Itachi, which, she gladly took as a yes and kept looking and admiring at the compound, and houses. They all went in and when they got in they were all amazed at what they saw. It looked even better on the inside! (A/N: Just imagine the Uchiha compound lol :) )

They followed Itachi down the street for a few minutes until they reached what Sakura believed was his home. Why would he stop there if it wasn't after all? They went inside and were immediately welcomed by a voice which Sakura easily recognized as a woman's voice.

"Welcome home dear, I guess we are having some visitors. That's strange why are they all girls?" Mikoto asked as her head popped out of a room and she examined Sakura. "Don't tell me you have a girlfriend Itachi-kun that's wonderful news!!" Mikoto said over excitedly. Sakura sweat dropped. His mother sure had a big imagination. She had met her for two seconds and she was already making up conclusions…

"No okaa-san, they shall be our new maids." Itachi stated simply glaring a tad bit at his endearment as Mikoto's entire body appeared in the hallway.

"Oh so you managed to find someone who wouldn't go crazy over you? That's great news Itachi-kun!" Mikoto said as she analyzed each of the girls. "My name is Mikoto, it is a pleasure to meet you three. May I ask what your names are and skills you may have?" Mikoto asked averting her gaze from their faces, to their clothes. They were pretty dirty and torn, she would have to ask about that later because that, wouldn't work now would it?

"Well Mikoto-san, my name is Sakura I am sixteen years old and these are my two adopted sisters, Ino, and Hinata." The three of them bowed down a little bit to show their respect as Sakura said their names.

"Ino here is ten years old and is pretty much good with anything that involves a lot of movement because she is very hyper. She is also good with flowers or flower arranging. As a little girl she was taught to work with flowers because her parents owned a flower shop you see. A bit of a warning though, she is very loud" Sakura said as she put her hand on Ino's head as she gave Mikoto a big smile. Mikoto nodded as Sakura moved on to the next one.

"Little Hinata here, is 9 years old and is good with washing dishes, clothes, and cleaning furniture supplies, or over all, cleaning. Hinata is very shy and especially around boys, because she hasn't really been with any except for family members. So, I strongly suggest she not be in front of too many guys. She may get very distracted and dizzy, and an overall effect may make her faint." Sakura said as Hinata blushed from all the attention she was getting.

"I am good with kids, washing, cleaning, cooking, about anything you can think of basically really. I was also trained as a ninja before war broke out in my village and we had to leave." Sakura said a little proud of her abilities. There weren't many people who could do what she could do after all.

"That's very good dear; we can surely use you around the house. Since girls are the only ones that can actually do work like this and all the other girls are pretty much fan girls, we haven't been hiring anyone thus making it harder for me to do all the chores." Mikoto explained as she sat on a nearby couch. She definitely did look exhausted.

Mikoto tried not to dwell on the fact that she said her old village broke out in a war. That would explain the torn and dirty clothing they were currently wearing. She pitied them, but now was not the time to show such matters. After all, looking at Sakura, it didn't look like she liked being frowned upon or pitied due to her current circumstances. She looked like a strong girl and Mikoto definitely liked that. She would make a great maid she was sure of it! Not only because of that fact, but Itachi had also brought them in; that pretty much assured she was good considering Itachi was very picky when it came to his maids.

"Oh I see, well don't you worry Mikoto-san, with us around, you won't need to do everything all by yourself." Ino said reassuringly with a big smile planted on her face.

"Ok then, this is how your jobs will go then. Ino, you will be in charge of the garden in the back, and cleaning the outside of the house. You will also be in charge of keeping the back yard clean. That would mean raking, pulling weeds, planting seeds, watering the plants and flowers, and what not as well." Mikoto explained.

"Hai" Ino said happily because she now knew she would get to work with flowers. It was one of her hobbies after all.

"Hinata, you will be in charge of helping me with the laundry, dishes, and furniture cleaning. Pretty much all the cleaning done inside."

"H-Hai" Hinata said shyly wrapping her arms around Sakura's legs. Even when spoken to, Hinata couldn't help but hide behind her elder 'sister'.

"And finally Sakura, you will be in charge of being a personal maid for my three children, Itachi, Sasuke, and Naruto. You will do whatever they tell you to ok?

"Hai, I understand" Sakura said with a smile on her face. She kind of wondered what 'everything' meant though… her mind didn't drift on the subject too long though, Mikoto was saying way too much. She had no time to not pay attention.

"Now, about your rooms, Sakura, you will get a room of your own near the boys' room so it will be easier for you. Hinata, you and Ino will share a room since I don't believe you both need a room each, is that okay?"

Hinata nodded a little bit with a shy smile.

"Hai!!" said an enthusiastic Ino.

"Also, Sakura if you don't mind, you said u were a ninja right? Maybe you could train the little ones a few hours a day, a few days a week, or something like that so they get better, which, if you want, could also include Ino and Hinata.

"I would be honored to Mikoto-san."Sakura replied. Sakura could only imagine all the fun she could have with the little once, now confirmed by Mikoto. They couldn't be more than Ino's age; that was good.

"Okay I'll lead Ino and Hinata to their rooms, Itachi can you please escort Sakura to her own room? It's the one a few rooms away from your own."

"Hn" Itachi replied as he started walking. By the time Sakura glanced at Itachi, he was already making his way past several hallways, and up a flight of stairs. Sakura quickly ran and steadied herself next to Itachi. Sakura stared at Itachi curiously… he was so… stoic…

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When they arrived Sakura examined her room. It was a plain white room. Her bed was a queen sized bed against the farthest wall with a large window in front of it showing some part of the garden. Next to her bed was a small cabinet with a lamp on in. On the wall next to the bed, were drawers for her clothes. The cabinet and drawers were wood with a dark tint in them. There was also another door next to the drawers, which Sakura imagined would be the bathroom. On the other wall, next to the cabinet, was a bookshelf and another door, which Sakura guessed was the closet. Next to the window, stood the Uchiha Clan symbol standing nice and proud on the wall.

That was when Sakura noticed this was the Uchiha Clan. It sort of made sense now. Why everyone she seemed to pass in the compound had black hair, black eyes, etc. And why Itachi was so stoic too. The Uchiha Clan was well known throughout many of the lands and villages after all; it would be pretty easy to spot one.

Sakura went in the bathroom –currently forgetting the fact that she would be working under the Uchihas- and saw a big white marble bathtub big enough for about 3 people in the farthest corner to the left, with a shower right next to it. There was a white a plain toilet a few feet away from the shower on a separate door, and a plain sink next to the bathtub. Plain bathroom really. That is, all besides the big, fancy bathtub. Uchiha's must love their baths.

Sakura thanked Itachi for escorting her and waited until he left. She then started to unpack the few belongings she had in a back pack, into the drawers. Since most of her stuff was burned down along with her house and family, she was not able to save much, except for her ninja clothes, a few regular clothes, very few books, toothbrush, tooth paste, and a little bit of money.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After Mikoto finished showing Ino and Hinata to their room, she realized that they did not have much clothes with them and wanted to find out if Sakura was the same. After finding that none of them really had any clothes except for a few personal belongings, she decided to take them shopping for clothes and such. After all, Mikoto loved shopping and the fact that she had three males -unfortunately for her- meant she could never go shopping for girl's clothes without a true purpose. That is unless she felt the sudden urge to dress Sasuke and Naruto –and maybe even Itachi- in dresses and or, skirts, and put their hair in pony tails. Mikoto was very thankful she could now go shopping with girls. She might have three sons, but now it looked like she had three daughters as well. How thankful she was indeed.

Sakura, Ino, and Hinata had quickly dressed in some of the only clothing left that was still clean, and completely intact with not tears or scratches whatsoever, and headed out towards the shopping center with Mikoto eager to get some new clothes.

--------------

"Thank you Mikoto-san!" three girls said in unison with big smiles on their faces. They had just finished shopping for the things they would need. They were currently sitting down on a bench in the park drinking some water. They had bought all sorts of stuff, jackets, skirts, shirts, dresses, pants, pajamas, and personal items for Sakura.

"We will pay you back this week when we get our salary okay?" Sakura said as she bowed down towards Mikoto, showing her gratefulness and how appreciative she was of what she had done for them.

"Oh it's ok girls, there is no need to, just having you girls here and helping me is a blessing. It is pretty rare to find a girl to help us in the house because most of them would be too busy staring at Itachi to actually work." Mikoto said with a smile. Hinata then decided to speak up.

"I-Is Itachi that well k-known in the v-village that all the g-girls are after h-him?"

"Well, he is pretty much one of the most powerful shinobi in the village, excluding the Hokage of course. Not to mention he is also quite handsome. Don't tell me you haven't noticed Sakura, I mean you are about the same age and u can also marry, I'm surprised you still haven't fallen for him." Mikoto said as she stared at Sakura. Sakura showed a blank expression as if saying she hadn't.

"You too are a very pretty girl Sakura. If you were from a wealthy or powerful clan my husband would consider setting you two up" Mikoto said with a smile on her face even though Sakura could tell she let out a tiny squeal. Was the thought of Itachi and herself marrying really all that exciting for Mikoto? They had just met a couple hours ago and she already wanted her to marry his son? Really? Sakura couldn't help but sweat drop at the thought that occurred in her head. She was right though… Mikoto surely was quick to judge. If she said she liked her, then she most certainly meant it.

"Well I was actually too happy that I was able to get a job and take care of my sisters that I actually didn't pay much attention to him. But now that I think about it, he is pretty handsome." Sakura said with a finger on her chin as an image of Itachi popped into her head. If he would smile more often –which Sakura strongly doubted- he might even be handsomer.

"But I don't pay much attention to looks in a guy. I mean, it's important and all but I rather have a man that is kind, caring, sweet, you know stuff like that." Sakura said as she got a picture of the ideal man in her mind. Oh how she yearned for that guy; whoever he was.

"Well, Itachi-kun does have all those qualities, but he doesn't show it to girls because most girls don't bother with any of that. Even pretty girls don't seem to catch his interest anymore, not even you Sakura. You weren't all fan girly for him but you didn't even seem to catch his interest." Mikoto said in a bit of a disappointment.

But I don't think I'm that pretty Mikoto-san." Sakura said with a light blush.

"Look around you, do you not see all the guys staring at you as they walk by" Mikoto said with a little sweat drop and a smile. How could this girl be so dense? How could she not notice all the guys practically drooling over her.

"Well, I don't pay much attention to people around me, only the ones that are really important to me." Sakura said with a smile. She looked around, and many of the men, indeed, were staring at her. She found it kind of funny that before, when she was dressed in torn clothes, they wouldn't even bother giving her a hand, and now it looked like they were ready to give her their hands… in marriage of course.

"Mikoto-san, are we going to have to wear maid dresses while we work?" Ino asked out of curiosity changing the whole topic of their conversation.

"But of course my dear, you would look so adorable wearing them! Why else would I have you wear them?" Mikoto asked with a gleeful expression as she pictured three adorable girls wearing maid outfits.

All three girls sweat dropped at said comment. Was this the only reason most maids wore French outfits, because they looked fancy, and cute?

Maybe…

While all this was going on, Mikoto started imagining how cute Itachi and Sakura would look together. An idea popped into her mind and she started brainstorming ideas.

'I suppose now I have another reason for making you wear maid outfits, Sakura.' Mikoto thought evilly as an evil grin appeared on her face.

"M-Mikoto, is something the matter?" Sakura asked a bit nervous. She was feeling slightly afraid of whatever Mikoto's imaginary mind was coming up with. Whatever it was, it was not good. Sakura knew as much from just staring at her face expression.

"Nothing's the matter dear." Mikoto said before she started laughing an evil, motherly laugh. Sakura, Ino, and Hinata sweat dropped.

"Are you sure about that?" Sakura asked thinking maybe Mikoto had to go see a doctor.

"Positive dear, let's go home now, there's a lot to do around the house." Mikoto said as she hurriedly stood up and ushered the girls forward. Mikoto hurriedly made her way out of the shopping district and dragged along two innocent little girls, and her soon to become, new victim.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Mikoto! This is way too short!!" Sakura half complained, half yelled in embarrassment as she tried pulling the dress down even the slightest. It wouldn't budge though… much to Sakura's dismay.

"Nonsense dear it's perfect!" Mikoto argued as she eyed Sakura up and down. Sakura looked at herself in the mirror. It was like any usual French outfit really, but this one was a bit… revealing. It went up to her thighs and it showed too much cleavage in Sakura's opinion. In Mikoto's, just enough…

Sakura stared at Ino and Hinata enviously. Their dresses were nice and long… they even had black tights under too! She stared at her reflection in horror once again.

The top part seemed like a corset with white laces under her breasts criss-crossing each other back and forth until it reached the end of her stomach. After that came the bottom of the dress, it was black, and pretty short in Sakura's opinion with the usual apron around her waist. She had on some long black socks that come up past her knees. She had on the usual white gloves and some black, shoes. And to top it all off, the little maid's hat was on top of Sakura's head.

"I look like I'm ready to seduce someone, not clean." Sakura protested.

Mikoto giggled inwardly. 'Oh, you're ready to do both hunny' she thought mischievously. Sakura was probably the only 16-year-old who was not in love with Itachi. That being said, she would be the only one who would have the slightest chance of capturing Itachi's heart. Sakura was a very nice girl too. The only problem was that Fugaku might reject Sakura. Mikoto just hoped Sakura's skills as a ninja were… decent. She just wanted Sakura in the family!And god damn it, Mikoto wanted grandchildren.

"Don't be silly you like fine!" Mikoto counter argued.

Sakura raised an eyebrow. "They look fine!" Sakura said while pointing to her two younger sisters currently admiring their dresses. "I, on the other hand though, look… FINE" Sakura trailed off. It wasn't the 'fine' at all she wanted. She was going to work as a maid, not someone working at a gentlemen's club.

"It's fine either way Sakura." Mikoto said in a sing song voice while mentally counting down the days it would take for Sakura and Itachi to get together. Unfortunately, Itachi was a stubborn man and Mikoto could only do so much. There was obviously a limit on what she could, and could not do.

Sakura grumbled incoherent words while Mikoto turned to Ino and Hinata knowing she had won the battle.

"Just remember Sakura, I am employing you. You shall have a different maids outfit once a month." She said with an evil smile.

Sakura shook her head in a disapproving manner but stayed quiet. What else could she say? She was her employer and Sakura could not get herself fired. And she would most certainly not quit either!

"Follow me now Sakura, I will introduce you to Sasuke and Naruto." Mikoto said. Sakura nodded and started following Mikoto. "You girls stay here, I'll be back shortly." Mikoto explained as she glanced at Hinata and Ino momentarily. After the two nodded, she continued down the hall way.

Mikoto walked for about 2 minutes until they reached a door. "This here is the play room, they spend most of their time here. This is also close to your room" Mikoto said before she opened the door revealing…

"Give it back Sasuke-teme!" Naruto yelled as he tackled Sasuke and reached for the small toy in his hand.

"No, it's mine dobe!" Sasuke argued as he brought the toy as far away from Naruto as possible.

"Boys!" Mikoto yelled strictly. The boys immediately stopped, and looked at Mikoto still in the same position. Naruto on Sasuke, with hands reach towards the toy, and Sasuke trying to push him off while keeping the toy as far away from Naruto as physically possible. The only difference was that they were now staring at Mikoto.

It took them both three seconds before they got off of each other and were sitting down next to each other, staring at opposite walls, and whistling innocently.

"What have I told you 2 about fighting?" Mikoto said strictly.

"Gomenasai okaa-san." They both said in unison.

Mikoto sighed. They did this almost every day. "They're all yours Sakura." She said as she patted Sakura on the shoulder. "Good luck, you'll need it." Mikoto said as she left, leaving a dumbfound Sakura just staring at the two of them.

Naruto and Sasuke stared at her curiously before they looked at each other, and wicked smiles showed on their faces.

"You must be our new maid." Sasuke said, intrigued.

"More like our new toy." Naruto snickered low enough for only Sasuke to hear his comment.

"Yup! My name is Sakura, pleasure to meet you, Naruto, Sasuke." Sakura said as she walked forward and gave them a big smile.

Sasuke stared at Sakura boredly. "You look like a slut." He said simply with disinterest.

Sakura's eyes widened for two seconds before she felt her anger rise dramatically. She told herself to calm down over and over before she regained the need to not beat him senseless. "Yes, I know that…sadly." Sakura said while mumbling the last part to herself.

"Now Sasuke-teme, don't be so mean. Come with me Sakura-chan." he said while he stood up, grabbed her hand, and led her to a closet. He opened it and pulled out this big, pink thing.

'Hmm, he seems nice.' Sakura thought. Maybe there was hope for her after all.

"What is that Naruto-kun?" she asked playfully.

Naruto lifted it up and let the costume fall to the floor as he showed her a wicked smile.

'Or maybe not… he wouldn't… would he?' she thought as she stared at his face expression. 'Nope, yeah, he would.' Sakura thought as she inwardly grimaced.

"Put it on" Naruto said.

"Now Naruto-kun…" Sakura started.

"Okaa-san told you to do anything we tell you to, did she not?" Sasuke said not appearing next to Naruto. How did he know, all his past maids had to do whatever they said because their mother would always say the same exact thing. It was tape recorded in their heads already.

"Well… yeah but-"

"Then put it on." Naruto said cutting her off mid sentence.

Sakura grimaced as she snatched the costume from his hand. "Where do I change?" Sakura asked as she glared at them.

They looked at each other once again and Sakura could have sworn she saw an evil glint in their eyes.

"Over here, follow me!" Naruto said as he grabbed her hand, and dashed out the door, to his left. They passed about 10 doors until they pointed a rather fancy door. "In there" Naruto stated.

"Are you sure, it looks a bit too fancy to be a bathroom or something." Sakura said as she stared at Naruto.

"Positive" Naruto said as he nodded, opened the door, and pushed Sakura inside. "And don't come back out until you're wearing it! We'll be waiting back in the play room!" Sakura heard Naruto yell from the other side of the door.

"Hai!" she yelled back in anger. Everything was pitch black in the room; what the hell? She couldn't even feel a light switch to turn the light back on.

Sakura started stripping and felt around to see what side went up in the outfit.

'Mikoto's outfit is too revealing and this one's too… humiliating.' Sakura thought with a glare. Sakura finally managed to stick her feet in and was pulling the costume up. It was right under her breasts when the lights suddenly turned on.

She winced at the light and waited for her eyes to get accustomed to the light.

"May I ask what, pray tell, you are doing in my room?"

Sakura froze. She glanced forward and her currently meek, emerald eyes met onyx.

"Your room you say?" Sakura repeated hoping this was not a set up. It looked like luck was on her side at this very moment though. It seemed luck could only go as far as giving her food and shelter.

"Hn" he said eyeing her up and down in disinterest even though she could have sworn she saw a flash of amusement in his eyes. She followed his gaze and finally remembered he could see her pink, laced bra. She quickly turned around and finished putting the outfit on. She then grabbed the ears and put them on. She didn't turn around just yet though; the blush was still on her face.

Itachi cleared his throat, obviously still waiting for an answer. Sakura turned around and glared at the floor. "You're little brothers 'devils' told me this was a bathroom." She explained. She quickly turned back around. "I guess I'll be excusing myself." She said as she grabbed her clothes and quickly fled out the door.

Itachi smirked as he saw Sakura's retreating figure. It was only day 1 and his brothers were making her job a living hell..

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sakura stood behind Itachi's door breathing heavily. Those little devils thought they could fool her and get away with it, oh, how wrong they were. They were mistaken if they thought she would let them humiliate her like that and get away with it. She quickly fixed herself up, put on the annoying bunny nose and whiskers and walked back into the room. She opened the door and saw Naruto and Sasuke staring directly at her.

"How was everything?" Sasuke asked, knowing the hidden meaning to it of course.

"Fine, I suppose." Sakura said sarcastically. Before she could even open her mouth once again to complain about that had done, Naruto cut her off.

"Good, follow us" he said as he and Sasuke exited the door past her. Sakura followed them, walking two steps before she rudely was stopped.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked with a glare.

"Following you two?" Sasuke asked questioningly.

"You're a bunny" he stated simply.

"So…?" Sakura asked.

"Bunny's don't walk, they hop." Sasuke said simply with an evil smile. Sakura sighed in anger as she hopped over to them.

"Happy?" she asked sarcastically as she glared at the two young children in front of her.

"Very" Sasuke said challenging her glare with his daring smirk. Daring in what way? He could fire her at any given moment, that's how.

They walked again, now at Itachi's door once again.

"Onii-san" Naruto said as he knocked on the door.

They heard a short reply afterwards. "Hm?"

"Would you like to train with us?" Naruto asked hopingly. He added something else, knowing his brother would not reject the offer. "We'll be playing target practice." He said. They heard slow footsteps shortly afterwards and the door opened revealing an impassive Itachi even though he seemed to understand something Sakura did not.

She stared at Itachi curiously and seconds after, he stared back at her. Their eyes met and Sakura pouted angrily and turned the other way. How dare he look at her like that and not apologize? He saw her half naked and all he said is 'why are you here?' screw him!

"Let's go Usagi-chan" Sasuke said.

Sakura mumbled incoherent words –most being curses- and started following them, of course, hopping. Itachi stared at her oddly but she just glared back at him. She was too pissed off to be embarrassed about this… she just hoped no one would see her like this. Especially not Ino and Hinata. They looked up to her! What would they think if she was being ordered around like some slave by some little munchkins? They'd be devastated!

After they reached outside, they walked –and hopped- towards the Uchiha's private training grounds. While doing so, Sakura was wondering what exactly Naruto had meant earlier. He said they were going to go train, but then he said they were going to play target practice. Sort of fishy for Sakura. Not only that, but he had also emphasized 'target practice' and it was the only reason that got Itachi up and moving. Very fishy indeed.

They reached the clearing and Sakura looked around.

No targets

"Naruto, I thought I said u were training… on target practice…" Sakura said.

"We are" Naruto replied getting out some kunai.

"What's your target then? Because I clearly see none." Sakura replied looking around once again, making sure they weren't hidden or anything. Just like last time, no targets were seen.

"We'll be practicing on a Usagi." Sasuke said.

"You'll be training on a bunny?" Sakura asked, shocked that they would actually harm an animal.

"Yes, Usagi-chan" Sasuke said.

Sakura's mind clicked and her eyes got darker. Those evil little… she stared at Itachi. He was smirking. He came to train with his little brothers because she was the target? Uchiha's were all insensitive pricks! Even the little ones!

"Ready," Itachi stated simply. Before Sakura knew it, the boys started preparing their kunais.

Sakura sighed. She really had no problem dodging kunai's coming from children that weren't even Genin's yet. But she was wearing a bunny costume, a very ugly one at that. It was big, and weighed her down dramatically decreasing her speed by who knows how much.

"Set,"

Sakura started doing a few stretches and Sakura could see from the corner of her eyes that Itachi was examining her.

"And," Itachi stated calmly, waiting for to see this girl run for her life.

Sakura stared at Itachi triumphantly. She would not lose this.

"Go"

Kunais started being flung in all sorts of directions, being aimed at a very, big bunny. Sakura easily dodged them dodging left, right, up, down, and any other direction known to mankind. She even went underground for a few minutes hiding from them.

It had been about 45 minutes and the boys collapsed on the cool grass.

"She's. Fast." Naruto said in between pants.

"Where'd. She. Go?" Sasuke asked also breathing heavily.

As soon as he finished his question, pink feet appeared in front of them. "Aww, you little boys tired?" Sakura asked teasingly. It was time for payback. They both stood up and glared at Sakura. "Not even a single scratch, I'm disappointed. I thought Uchiha's were supposed to be powerful and mighty" She said sarcastically. A kunai quickly embedded itself next to Sakura's left big, fat, pink bunny foot.

She stared at the person who threw it. "Oh, you wish to play too?" Sakura asked with a smirk. Might as well get him back as well. Uchiha pride was always the best type of pride to destroy.

"…Hn"

As soon as that left his lips, Sakura back flipped several times, having her bunny ears meet the dirt. Kunai imbedded themselves on the floor where she used to be seconds later.

"Whoa!" Naruto and Sasuke said in amazement. They stared back at their onii-san to tell him how amazing he was but he was not longer there. Sakura looked around. He was not going to attack her; that was not the point of this… game. Sakura quickly grabbed one of the kunai on the floor and seconds later, several started flying at her from behind.

Sakura easily deflected them with the kunai and they all landed on the ground all around her, still not inflicting any damage on her whatsoever.

"Hey that's cheating!" Naruto complained.

"There were never any rules to begin with." Sakura said glancing back at him.

"Well now there are!" Naruto protested.

"Oh, maybe I should tell your okaa-san about the game, see if she approves of this." Sakura said, daring him to refuse her. She had the power now. How did she know, Sasuke's and Naruto's face darkened dramatically while their eyes showed fear.

"I thought so" Sakura replied as she did the splits, missing a kunai going right for her head. Sakura jumped back and found herself now behind a tree. She sighed as she took a deep breath. She was surprised she had been able to dodge all that; even when the costume was slowing her down.

Itachi appeared several feet in front of her with only 6 kunai's left. 6 kunai's he had to make useful. He quickly flicked one and Sakura ran to her right. One little problem. The kunai managed to pin the costume to the tree. Sakura was immediately stopped as she glared at the kunai. It didn't stab her, thankfully, but now she couldn't move. The kunai hit the costume a bit lower than the chest area, all the way to the left. Sakura moved her hand to take the kunai out but was stopped when another kunai pinned her hand to the tree.

"You get her nii-san!" Naruto and Sasuke yelled in excitement. She stared at Itachi, was he really planning to pin her to the tree?

He was

Two kunai's down, four to go. He used two in both legs next, thus leaving two kunai's left. He used one of them and pinned the costume on top of her right shoulder. She was pretty much immobilized now. If only she could take her arms out of the costume she would have a chan-

A light bulb lit on top of Sakura's head. She wiggled her arms free of the sleeves and they popped out of the suit. She thought about taking out all of the kunai, but that would take way too long. She stared at Itachi and he was already about to throw the kunai.

Desperate time called for desperate measure.

She made some quick hand signs and she disappeared. As she did, the kunai pierced right threw the bunny ears. Itachi quickly recognized the jutsu as a teleportation jutsu, she could be anywhere by now. Luckily, he had turned on his Sharingan just in time to read the jutsu.

"KYAA!"

Itachi followed the voice to a bush. Sakura's head popped out of it. She stared at the tree trunk in horror. He followed her gaze. All he saw was a bunny suit. What could be so important about th-

The bunny suit was still there…

Meaning…

"I don't have any clothes!" she yelled in anger. Itachi couldn't help but smirk as his little brother's fell into a fit of laughter. Sakura's head popped out once again as she glared at all of them. "Can someone please hand me the costume?!" she begged hoping they had some good in there, deep, deep, down.

She stared at the boys, but they were still laughing their asses off. 'Such a great help' she thought angrily. She then started at Itachi longingly. He gave her an evil smirk.

She knew what this meant already; NO.

Sakura cursed his name several times before an idea popped in her head. She quickly made some hand signs and made a henge; it was just her, but with some clothes on. She quickly dashed towards the tree and started taking the kunai off the costume,

"Pink"

Sakura turned around and stared at Itachi curiously.

"Pink" he repeated once again, as impassive as ever, though slight amusement was shown in his eyes.

Sakura stared at him before her mind clicked. His Sharingan was on! He could see right through the henge. That damn bastard! The nerve of him to STILL look at her… STILL. It had been 1 minute, and he was still staring! That damn bastard!

Sakura grabbed the bunny costume and hid behind the tree. Yet another idea popped into her head and she lay the costume down and stared at the tree longingly.

'Good bye tree-san' she thought before she picked the tree up. She quickly swung it at Itachi and watched as his body got knocked several feet away and the two little devils cried their brother's name.

"That's what you get Uchiha-bastard!" Sakura yelled happily. She quickly hid behind another tree, dispelled the henge, and put on the now torn costume.

Sakura came back out moments later in front of Sasuke and Naruto. They tried to run but Sakura easily grabbed them by the collar, both in one hand.

She quickly lifted her fist and hit them on the head, earning them each a well deserved bump in the head. They groaned in pain as they rubbed their heads for comfort. She dropped them down and started walking towards the compound with her head held high. She had definitely destroyed the pride of an Uchiha, 3 to be exact, even though one was adopted.

As she was walking, a very angry Uchiha appeared next to her with his two little brothers hiding fearfully behind him.

Sakura smirked. "You deserved it all" she said simply.

Itachi glared but his glare soon turned into a smirk. Why you may be asking yourselves. Because this, obviously meant war. Sakura's victorious smile turned into one of curiosity. She knew this meant war the moment Itachi had turned the light switch on. She was ready for war, after all, she had just come from one. And a very bloody one at that.

End of Chapter
