Haruno or Uchiha

3

I looked at the person who picked me up and saw a familiar face. "Itachi-nii-san." I said with a small smile. His smile turned into a frown. 'Uh oh.' I thought. I remember that face from back then, and it never ended well. I tried to get out of his arms, but he tightened his grip and said "Oh no you don't." I looked around and tried to find someone to help me. "Sasuke! A little help here!" I yelled. He just crossed his arms and gave me a face that says 'You're on your own.' I glared at him and started to fight Itachi off. "I know what I did was wrong and I am sorry! I will accept my punishment! Now please let me go!" I yelled as I threw punches and kicks everywhere. Next thing I knew, I was on the ground looking at Itachi, who was holding his cheek. "Oops." I said realizing what I just did. I hit him with one of my chakra infused punches on the cheek. I MIGHT HAVE dislocated something. I got up and started to heal him. "I'm sorry." I said. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! YOU COULD HAVE DIED! DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO SEE YOUR SISTER BEING DRAGGED AWAY?! TO BE USED AS A WEAPON FOR THE VILLAGE! NEVER TO BE SEEN BY HER FAMILY AGAIN?! DAY AFTER DAY, WE HOPED AND PRAYED FOR YOU TO RETURN TO US! LONGING TO HOLD YOU IN OUR ARMS! AND NOW WHEN I FIND OUT YOUR ALIVE, YOU TRY TO GET YOURSELF KILLED!" Itachi yelled at me. My hand fell from his cheek and to my side. I looked down as tears ran down my cheeks, staining my skirt with tears. "I......I didn't mean to...... I just wanted......... my family back....... I'm......sorry." I said as I brought my hands up to my eyes and cried even more. I felt a hand touch my knee. I gasped and looked up to see my real mother's hand resting on my knee. "Kaa-san......." I said while tears still ran down my cheeks. I looked at my real father, who was just coming around. "Tou-san.." I said starting to smile. Sasuke helped them sit up and supported them. I meditated to get my chakra back and divided it between my clones. That was the last thing I remember before seeing black.

When I woke up, I saw my mom putting a moist rag on my forehead. "Good morning." I said weakly with a smile on my face. "She's awake, Fugaku. How are you feeling?" I sat up and said "Like someone knocked me out." "I'll go make some tea. You talk to your father. I'm sure you want answers." Just as she left, Tou-san came in and sat down next to my bed. "Where are we?" I asked. "Your house. Sasuke showed us the way." Tou-san answered. I nodded and asked "Where are you guys going to stay?" Just then Kaa-san came in with the tea and my brothers. I prepared for lectures and yelling, but it never happened. I was wrapped in an embrace from both sides. I turned my head and saw Itachi hugging me from behind. Suddenly, I burst into tears. "I'm sorry. I should have been more careful." "Oh, Sakura, it isn't your fault." Kaa-san said while she was patting my head. As I fell asleep in my family's arms, I smiled and thought. 'I finally have my family back.'
