Don't look at me like I own anything!

A/N-This is my first story and I'm really excited to finally be posting something of my own. I have been reading fanfics on multiple fan fiction sites for about 3 years now. If you would like to review and tell me how I should do something better, please do. But if all you have to say are "you suck at writing" it would be better if you just left. Or else… haha:)

Chapter One- Too many Uchiha!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ugh. Too Early

Why does Kakashi insist on us being there so early? It's not like he's going to be there until two hours after the meeting time. I stumble out of my ivory queen bed and go into the bathroom. As luck has it, I'm out of shampoo. Damn. As I take off my neon yellow tank top and baby blue soffe shorts, I happen to take a look into the mirror at my 17 year old frame. B boobs and no butt. The only thing really exiting going on with me is my pink hair (yes its natural, shut up) and bright green eyes. I sigh and get into the shower.

I wonder what I should wear today? I'm thinking to myself when I hear my clock chime 7. Fuck! I'm late! I decide it's just Naruto Sasuke Sai and Kakashi so it's no real reason to get gussied up. As I throw on my forest green sweat pants and my white tank I think about how proud I am of myself for finaly getting over Sasuke. I never want to forget about him. It's the love I had for him and the rejection I suffered at his hands that really made me who I am. And for that I'm thankful. Crap I'm 20 minutes late.

Clack clack clack is all I hear as I run toward the bridge. All of a sudden a purple sleeved arm shoots in front of me and I tumble to the ground in my sudden stop. "Forehead, guess what?" "What Ino, What is so important that you attempt to kill me before 8 in the morning?" "Didn't you hear? Kakashi got hurt on an S ranked mission he had yesterday, so Itachi is taking over leading your team!" Suddenly thoughts start flying through my mind, was Kakashi hurt, would Itachi kill someone, and how will Sasuke react, whats for lunch. I think I left the oven on, oh wait I wasn't cooking, never mind "What? Oh my god I'm late too! Later Ino!" "That's it Sakura! Go get that hottie!"

Billions of thoughts are racing through my head as I head toward our training area. Sasuke's brother Itachi. I've only met him once, and he seemed pretty scary to me. You know the typical Uchiha. Stick up the ass and that weird glare they give people that's like they're waiting for you to spontaneously combust from it. Freaks. As I turn the corner, three heads pop into my view. Oh joy. "Sakura! You're here!" "Of course she is dobe, this is her team "ah Naruto and Sasuke are at it again. "Hey hag" says Sai "Shut up Sai, your just jealous, cause you like teme and his brother, friendless and sad!" Just another day with my lovely team…trying to kill each other.

I feel eyes burning a hole in my back. I glance over my shoulder, and what I see scares me. Itachi looks like he wants to kill me. Or eat me. But I'd prefer if he killed me before if he's going to eat me. Anyway… "Hello Uchiha-san, how are you today?" I asked with a lot of sugar in my voice. "Fine Sakura-san, but please, I insist you call me Itachi." He coolly replies to me, his gaze never breaking with my eyes. "Very well Itachi-san. I'm sure you'll be happy to return to your own ANBU team, I mean were only jonin and certainly very boring to you," I joke "I actually requested this assignment" that's weird. What kind of ANBU requested to help with a team of jonin? One with ulterior motives probably. I look over to my team only to say Sai getting his assed kicked by Naruto, whose also biting Sasuke's leg. Weird. So very Weird.

"I'm sure all of you know how to spar, so I'll skip right to it. Naruto and Sai vs. Sasuke, and myself vs. Sakura." What? I'm going to die. Somebody help or do something I think. "Hey, no way are you being alone with Sakura, you'll probably do some weird sexual Uchiha stuff to her!!!!" Yells Naruto "Shut up Naruto, it's my brother. He probably likes men" States Sasuke while suppressing a laugh. I look over to Itachi, and am met with a cold face. "Just spar Sasuke" "Fine, but you touch MY Sakura and I'll tell her about the pictures under your bed that you masturbate too" Sasuke whispers in Hitachi's ear as he walks into the forest. Itachi turns back to me right after Sasuke finishes whispering to him. "What did he say to you?" I ask after all my teammates have left, "Nothing of importance, just a little reminder of a meeting we have today with the clan" he answers. The answer is open enough but I have the feeling that he's hiding something from me. Oh well. Time to train.

Itachi leads me away with his hand on the small of my back. It makes me feel this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach, but I write it off as him being really hot. Like scorching hot. Like sun hot. My thoughts are interrupted when he says, "Sakura, I understand you are an excellent fighter, however not up to par with me. I shall say this; if I win you must accompany me to the lantern festival tonight. If you win however, you are under no such obligation to me." "Fine, I accept your terms, and I shall win, seeing as your brother asked me to go two weeks ago. I have an obligation to him first". I retort. "Only if you win Sakura, only if you win." Itachi says to himself as he watches her walk away.
