A/N: Im back everyone!! With a new ItachixSakuraxSasuke! Enjoy and please review!! I appreciate all of them.
Into The PastCheer up Sakura…
It'll be alright Sakura…
Sakura!!
The pink haired kounochi closed her eyes… shutting off the voices ringing in her head. It wasn't alright. Sasuke hadn't returned nor been brought back by force. She remembered Shikamaru's group that was to rescue Sasuke, they took a heavy toll in injuries, thankfully all had survived. She remembered when she faced Kabuto and Orochimaru… Countless times Naruto has saved her because she couldn't save herself. She was weak.
Sakura then made the decision to be Tsunade's apprentice and that was four years ago. Her eyes hardened. She had flashes of a memory that wanted to be forgotten and not believed. Two and a half years ago Sasuke tried to kill her, Naruto as well. Spared only by Orochimaru's orders. She snarled. It was all because of Sasuke's lust for power to defeat his brother, Itachi.
Shaking her thoughts she rifled through Tsunade's stack of papers, reading them and filing them correctly. Assigning A, B, C, or D marks on the requesting papers for missions that needed to be completed. She quickly gathered some old stacks of papers and moved them out of the way; a slip of paper fell to the floor. Sighing irritated she bent down and picked the parchment up. It was old and very fragile. Dog eared and tinged with yellow, the words were distorted. Her eyes slid shut once more as she clenched the paper in her fist.
I wish that the Uchiha clan was never murdered…
I wish Orochimaru had left Sasuke untouched…
I wish it never happened…
A single tear slipped down her cheek and splashed onto the old parchment. The distorted words started to glow, Sakura stared transfixed and read the words.
Sakura gasped as a bright light engulfed her, making her hiss in displeasure. She felt as if she was spinning rapidly; but as soon as it began, it stopped. She slowly opened her eyes. It was a bright beautiful day in Konoha, she was standing in the middle of the street. She gasped, hurrying to the shadows of a nearby store and peering out. Sakura stared intently. Her green eyes widened. Impossible.
"Brother, this is where father works?" The young Sasuke said to Itachi, who was currently riding piggy back style.
"Yes. The Uchiha clan founded the police department in Konoha. We are better than most ninjas. We are unique you and I." Itachi answered.
Sakura's heart pounded in her chest. Had she gone back in time?? She pinched herself. Ouch. That answered her question easily enough. Sakura tensed in reaction to seeing Itachi. It would be so easy…. she was strong now, very strong. Thanks to Tsunade's tutelage. She made a step forward to come out of the shadows. The two Uchiha's were still conversing. But she stopped herself. If she acted now, it could change the whole course of the future… would she risk it?
Sakura's brow furrowed in thought. Her eyes narrowed. She would keep a close eye on Itachi Uchiha. She followed close behind, but not to close; for the risk of being discovered. As a passing thought, she smiled at how cute Sasuke was when he was little and piggy back riding on his brothers back. What happened between the two to cause such a drastic change??

"I-I have to do…. What?" Little Sakura said, wide eyed.
"If you want to be in our group you have to steal something of Sasuke's." Ino grinned mischievously.
"But what-what if I get caught?" Sakura pointed her fingers together, a blush forming over her nose.
"If your careful you wont be." Ino assured.
"Okay…" Little Sakura sighed.
-Later That Evening-
"Sasuke were so proud of you. Tomorrow you enter the academy." Mikito's voice sent soothing vibes down her young sons back. He smiled at his mother. They were all eating dinner and it was silent.
Little Sakura snuck in the Uchiha compound and looked around… the lanterns were still lit so she had to move in the shadows. She saw forms sitting at a table eating dinner. She heard Sasuke's voice. She giggled softly. Someday she wanted to marry him.
She opened one of the doors and silently went down the hallway. Which one was Sasuke's?? She crept along and opened the rooms. She spotted a small bed and guessed it was his room. She looked around. Something that would belong to him……. His shirt? She opened a drawer and found one. The Uchiha symbol stamped on the back. She hugged it and inhaled his scent.
The older Sakura was outside and watching her younger self. Mischievously she opened the window very quietly and as little Sakura was leaving she whispered…
"Boo."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" She screamed running out of the room and through the hallways blindly. Actually running into the dining room and out of it. The Uchiha's were stunned and saw a flash of pink.
A firm hand grasped her shoulder, stopping her. Little Sakura turned fearfully. It was the older Uchiha, the prodigy. She was caught red handed. With Sasuke's shirt. She turned red.
"What grounds do you have to trespass?" The older Uchiha stared down at Sakura.
"I-I.." She turned even more red (if that was possible) when Sasuke came to stand next to his brother. She hugged the shirt tighter, causing Sasuke's dark eyes to focus on her arms.
"Thief!" Sasuke yelled. Little Sakura gasped softly.
"I-Im not a thief." Sakura stood her ground.
"Then what are you doing holding my shirt?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes. Fangirls. His brother had them, and he noticed the growing population of his little fan club.
Little Sakura bit her lip. She couldn't tell him that she'd stole his shirt to get into his fan club. She inhaled deeply, ready for the worst. Mikito and her husband watched from the doorway. Another flash of pink swept their vision. A hand clamped on the little cherry blossoms shoulder.
"There you are! I have been looking everywhere-" The Older Sakura scolded. Trying to be a ditz and not realize the Uchihas were staring at her. She smiled innocently.
"Oops. I'm sorry." She bowed, "My younger sister was forced to take the shirt in order to repay a debt." She knew it was a lie, so did the little carbon copy of her. She took the shirt from her little self and handed it over to Itachi. He didn't miss the brief cold glance she gave him, covered with one of her fake smiles.
"Your not my-" Little Sakura stated, the hand that was on her shoulder now slammed over her mouth.
"She has an involuntary verbal condition." Sakura covered, grabbing her little 'sister' up and dashing away.

A good distance away from the Uchiha Compound, Sakura let her little self down. Who struggled and squirmed the whole way. Chibi Sakura looked up and gasped, "You look just like me."
"I am you. I am your older self." Sakura explained
"Impossible." Chibi Sakura responded in disbelief.
"How many girls do you know with flaming pink hair?" The Older one put her hands and her hips and smirked.
"No-none." Chibi shyly replied.
"Good, now that's settled. Listen, you don't need to be in Sasuke's fan club, he'll like you more if your just yourself." She bent down and brushed the pink bangs softly.
"Really?" Chibi Sakura looked hopeful; eyes shining.
Sakura nodded and smiled.

Tsunade entered her office. Yawning loudly and stretching. It was a new day, she sat in her comfy chair and reached for her sake, but her hand stilled over the bottle. Her gaze was to the floor, her brown eyes wide. She picked up the old parchment, it was warm and had a tear stain saturated into its fibers.
"Oh, no."
