An ItaSaku Story by SharinganAnbuSakura

Full Summary:Sakura Haruno is captured by the Akatsuki and after a few nights, she begins to have dreams that seem familiar. Will the ones who know of the events of the past tell her or will they leave her in the dark as they have been doing all these years? Will even the one who caused the horrific past events finally appear from the shadows to speak the truth to the young girl that deserves to finally learn of her unspeakable past and even if the one does tell her, will she believe?

Prologue:

"She will never remember will she, Tsunade-sama?" A man with silver hair stood beside the bedside of a sleeping girl. The pink haired girl shifted in the bed and everyone tense, but the girl remained unconscious. The four figures in the small hospital room remained quiet before continuing their secret conversation.

"The only way she will remember all the painful memories is if someone tells her or if…" Tsunade paused. The silver haired jounin glanced at her to continue. She nodded and finally spoke up again. "He comes back and sees her, with the fact that he will probably tell her."

The respectable 5th Hokage sighed quietly before beginning again. "I can't believe my own apprentice had to experience this." She walked over to the bedside and put a hand on the girl's forehead. The pink haired girl whimpered as she placed her hand on her forehead. She had a high temperature and returned her hand to her side.

"Why did our daughter have to be in this?" The girl's mother whimpered. Tsunade rubbed her eyes from exhaustion before turning to the grieving mother who was seated near the bed of the young girl.

"She chose to be in this. Even if she didn't know at the time what would happen. It wasn't her fault, but was his." The jounin answered quietly answered before Tsunade could open her mouth to answer. She shot him a grateful glance and turned back to the form of the pink haired girl.

"How did our 13 year old daughter get into this mess?" The father spoke quietly. The mother started to sob and wail, causing the father to bend down and whisper comforting words into her ear. Tsunade stared at her unconscious apprentice and couldn't help but feel guilt. It was part of her fault for not intervening.

The mother finally brought her sobbing and wailing to small sniffs. "She sought out companionship and maybe even…." Tsunade began and then the mother began to have another grieving fit. She stopped and saw a glare coming from the father. She sighed loudly and focused on ways to explain without upsetting the parents anymore.

"She sought out companionship and maybe even love she never received from her few friends or even her own parents." Tsunade avoided the confused stares from the grieving parents. "She even told me that you hardly ever paid attention to her. You were busy with work and missions." The mother's gaze drifted to the ground and she felt shame.

Silence fell upon the small, tension-filled room. "What of her teammates? Naruto and Sasuke?" The father finally broke the silence. The jounin and Tsunade glanced at each other briefly before bringing their attention back to the pink haired apprentice.

"You may explain, Kakashi." Tsunade quietly whispered. Kakashi nodded and focused on the parents.

"Only Sasuke will be able to remember. Naruto's memories of these events have been erased. Sasuke is not permitted to tell Naruto or Sakura of the past. They have suffered enough." Kakashi clenched and unclenched his hands. Tsunade could feel a few tears sting her eyes and she also saw Kakashi was even quietly breaking down.

"We also will not tell them. No one will tell them. We all have to promise that no one in this room or outside this room will tell Naruto, Sakura, or even anyone born after this date will know of this. It will be the same as the decree for Naruto's Kyuubi. The parent's of the children are not allowed to tell their children for the safety of Naruto and Sakura." Everyone in the room nodded without making a noise.

"Then it is decided." Kakashi whispered. "Case closed."

So many questions left unanswered huh? Poor Sakura and Naruto. Will they ever know?

Hehe. Keep on reading when the chapters are updated to see.
