said you should leave me alone!" She yelled at him.
"Yes, so what!", He said calmly back.
Sakura walked slowly on, she didn't want to be involved in a conversation with him. Itachi notices this and grabbed her wrist. So she had to stop.She stared at him angrily.
"Don't you want to talk to me at all?" He asked in a teasing tone.
"Let go of me!" Said Sakura simply.
"No, I won't do that now, you'll run away anyway," said the black-haired man.
"Well, we can talk, but no more and no less.", She gave in.
She went very slowly to her hiding place, which she used when she wanted to be alone and not want to be disturbed. She walked in slowly, Itachi followed her.
It didn't look very clean as Sakura hadn't been there for a long time.
"It's cozy here.", Itachi said.
"You don't mean that seriously, this is a shack, I haven't been there for years!", She said. "So, what do you want?", Sakura hacked, suspicious that Itachi wanted to talk to her.
He was still silent. Was it just a bluff to be alone with her or for some other reason? Now Sakura sat down too, just a little further away from him."Sakura, do you remember back then?" Came the sudden question.
"Well, unfortunately, there was only one difference! You weren't a Nuke-nin at that time!", She replied.
/ That is, she remembers it. /, it went through his head.
"You can hide here if you want!" Said the pink-haired woman to him. Itachi gave her a smile that she was very happy to accept. I'll leave you something to eat here, okay! "she smiled at him.

When she got home an exasperated Sasuke was waiting for her.
"There you are at last!" He said a little hysterically.
"I met Hinata and Neji on the way, we then talked a little bit.", She gave as a reassuring answer.
Sasuke went up to her and gave her a light hug. If something had happened to her, he would never have forgiven himself.
Sakura wasn't sure what that meant, so she asked him about it.
"Sasuke, what's the point?", She said, a little confused.
"I was worried because you didn't come.I thought something had happened to you. ", he replied a little tearfully.
"It's okay, I'm here.", She comforted him.
Soothing she stroked the back of the Uchiha offspring. When he had slowly calmed down, he fell asleep again. He was still exhausted from the fight with Itachi. I put it carefully on the couch. In the meantime I went into the kitchen and was already preparing dinner. Tonight there would be stew, my favorite food. I let the things cook on the stove. I sat on an armchair and picked up a book. I looked at Sasuke one more time to make sure that he was still asleep. About an hour passed before I woke Sasuke that he should come to eat.
"What's up?" He asked interested.
"Stew, I hope you like it!" I told him in response. We both went into the kitchen and Sasuke sat down at the table. I filled the plate and then gave it to him.I did the same with my plate. Sasuke was apparently very hungry, he immediately asked for another portion. Involuntarily I thought back to the time. As I thought about it, I also fell back into my past. / How happy I was then. /, it went through her head.

## Flaschback ##

As always, I went home from the playground. But since it was already dark and I didn't dare go home. I had lost sight of my sister. She must have been home already. I sat down on a bench. It was getting darker and darker and slowly I got scared. I was afraid of the dark. Slowly someone stepped up next to me and put a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and looked into his eyes, which were blood red. "You'd better go home, it's already dark. Your parents are probably worried!"; he said gently. "I'm scared in the dark," I said simply. "I'll take you home if you want?" Itachi offered me.Thankfully, I assumed I couldn't spend the whole night here, so I told him where I lived. He found a quick way to get there. Itachi even carried me on his back. I snuggled up against him comfortably. In a short time I fell asleep. When he noticed, he smiled a little. The Harunos' house was almost in the dark. He knocked and the door was opened for him. My sister Kizhou stepped out and shouted, "That's you Sakura, we were already worried!"
My parents took the load (me) from his back and thanked him briefly and closed the door. The next day I was put under house arrest because I came so late. I justified myself for losing sight of Kizhou. The next week was hell for me. I only left the house briefly to go shopping, the dentist, etc. with my mother. One morning we met Itachi. I smiled happily at him.He had also noticed that I was standing next to him and he smiled back in a friendly manner. My mom just pulled me across the street. I looked around sadly to see which shoes I liked. I just wondered why my mother didn't want me to be kind to him, he brought me home. Because next year I'm going to Ninja Academy. I couldn't see him anymore. We met two or three times, but nothing more. But one night you heard someone scream. IT was a pedestrian who found the bodies of the Uchiha family and immediately sounded the alarm. Itachi was found to have killed his own family. Nobody knows for what reason. Anyway, they made him a nuke-nin.

## Flashback end ##

After all, I thought back to the time. I didn't know why he did that until now. / Do I love Sasuke or Itachi now, I'm going crazy! /, I thought.

I went shopping and I ran into Neji and Hinata.We talked a little, but then I had to go again, because Sasuke was still waiting for me in my apartment. Without paying attention to my way, my feet led me back to the place where I advised Itachii to hide. / I could ask him why he brought me home back then! /, I encouraged myself. But then I left it anyway.
I turned around quickly and marched home. Once there, I closed the door behind me and looked up. Sasuke stood in front of me and smiled at me. Which he rarely does. Is a Uchiha and not normal like me.
"Oh, Kakashi sent me more information about my brother Itachi," he said calmly. "By the way, your sister Kizuh is back again.", He added slowly.
"What?" I asked.
"Yes, your sister.", He said again and pointed in the direction of her room.
I didn't want to believe what he had said, but ran to her room to check.And there she sat on her bed.
I entered her room quietly and stood next to her. When she noticed me she asked me to sit next to her. Which I did then.

"Tell Sakura, how is it that the famous offspring of the Uchiha family is with us?", She asked with her open manner.
Then I started to tell her everything, except for Itachi.
"Well, Sasuke has exhausted himself quite a bit during training and can stay here as long as he wants. At least that's how I see it. There is nothing serious about it."
"Aha.", She merely commented on my story.
"Tell me, what were you doing when you were on a mission?" I asked her.
My sister made a mumble of incomprehensible words.
"Now tell me, or do I have to tickle you first!" I asked her again with my dog's eye.
"Well, I'll tell you!", She said and began to tell.

"You know, I went to Suna with two other Anbus.There should be a dangerous serial killer hanging around there. But he's targeting protesters, and we should stop him before there are more deaths. We worked undercover in a brothel because, as it turned out, the girls worked for such a shop. That was where we found our first clue because, as it turned out, we soon found a suspect. But I won't mention the name here, because otherwise you'll only have nightmares again. Well, and so our investigations went so far that we unfortunately had to turn to dangerous attacks, you know, we caught him and then he got so angry that we had to fight him. ", my sister told Kizuh. I listened intently.
"Then you have really experienced a lot!" I said with enthusiasm. "Oh, there will be lunch soon!", I added as I walked out.
"Yes.", She just said.

It was 2pm when the meal was ready and I called my roommates including my Sis and Sasuke to the table."What's up?", Sasuke wanted to know a little curiously. I had thought to myself, to celebrate the day, I'll make Kizuh's favorite food, Sasuke will definitely like that too. Her favorite dish is potato casserole with vegetables.
Kizuh already smelled it and sat down at the table.
We ate together. I was amazed that Sasuke once again praised my culinary skills. In any case, he seemed to have enjoyed it. Long after dinner we sat together and talked about what had happened so far. Sometimes we all had to laugh. Sasuke kept looking at me and I at him. Did I really love him or was that something else that was going on between us? I couldn't describe it exactly.

The next morning I was woken up by Sasuke. He was already in full clothes for training in the door of my room.
"Hey, sleepyhead, get up, we have to go right away!" he said a little quietly, I glanced briefly at the clock on my bedside table and started up.Sasuke and I were already over an hour late. We wanted to meet up with the others again and train with them. Which we did then.

Shortly before evening I went for a walk, of course that was just an excuse to bring Itachi something to eat.

Hope the fanfic is good.
