"Sakura," called Itachi, standing in Sakura's doorway. "There's somebody I'd like you to meet."
Sakura looked at Itachi with a confused grin, but stood, nonetheless. She followed him out of the house and into another house inside the compound."Aunt," called Itachi. "Uncle, it's me, Itachi."
A middle-aged couple came into the room and looked Sakura up and down. "Oh, so this is the new addition to the Uchiha clan?" asked the woman who Sakura assumed to be Itachi's aunt.
"Addition?" asked Sakura with a blush.
"Yes, Shisui-chan has been going on and on about how Itachi-chan is always talking about his girlfriend."
Sakura smirked at Itachi who looked away to hide the blush that she could see anyway.
"It's great to finally meet you, Sakura-san," said Itachi's uncle.
She nodded in response, smiling from ear to ear.
"Oh, Shisui-chan!" called Itachi's aunt. "Come meet Sakura-san!"
Shisui appeared in a cloud of smoke, right before Sakura. "Ah, hello," he greeted, bowing in respect. "Sakura-san, right? I've heard so much about you."
"Really? I don't think I've heard of you."
Shisui chuckled and said, "Well, better late than never. Itachi! Introduce us, if you could be so kind?"
"This is my elder cousin, Shisui-san," Itachi told her, adopting a bored tone of voice, "Shisui, this is Sakura."
This Shisui person bore quite the likeness to Itachi, only five or six years older.
"Nice to meet you," she replied, bowing.
"Sakura is quite a fast learner," Itachi boasted. "I've been teaching her for only a matter of weeks and she's already quite exceptional at genjutsu."
"Genjutsu, huh?" asked Shisui, quirking a brow. "How about we see just how exceptional your genjutsu is, Sakura-san?"
Itachi objected, "Shisui, she's not even a shin—"
"Sure," Sakura cut-in, smirking. "Gauntlet picked up, gauntlet thrown, gauntlet retrieved. Let's go for it."
"Sakura—"
"It's okay, Itachi," she cut-in again. "You've taught me well, now have faith in your student."
Itachi didn't argue further, but she could see a worried look in his eyes.
"The 15th training ground then?" asked Shisui, looking oh-so-smug. "Now?"
"You're on," she answered.
"Ladies first," he said.
"Age before beauty."
"Your girl's got spunk," Shisui told Itachi, looking amused as he walked off, everybody following.
"I know," Itachi replied, looking at Sakura with a smirk as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close to his side.
She took the kunai he secretly handed her and hid it in a woman's best storage place. That's right; she shoved it down her bra. When they made it out of the village and to the 15th training ground, he asked, "So, what do you want?"
"What do you do?"
She saw a blush form on Shisui's face at the thought of the... erm, adult joke. He took out a kunai and she pulled the kunai out of her bra, which caught Shisui off guard.
"Well, I say a mixture of ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu," she stated, twirling the kunai on her middle finger casually. "Is that good for you?"
Shisui shrugged, trying to seem casual, as well.
She threw the hand twirling the kunai up in the air, the kunai jumping off and she caught it expertly.
"Did you teach her that?" Itachi's uncle asked Itachi who shrugged in confusion.
"Now, why don't you come to me?" she asked. "It's not right to make a lady lead."
Shisui shrugged again and charged and she moved to the side, just like Itachi had done and he missed his mark.
"I kinda taught her that," Itachi stated sheepishly.
Secretly doing some hand signs behind, she made Shisui the equivalent of one big doll. She placed a blow to his belly with her knee and hit the back of his head with her elbow.
He fell to the ground and she sat on his back while she retied her shoes.
"Get... off," Shuichi managed out, his face buried in the grass.
"What? You don't like girls on top?" she asked with a taunting pout. She stood back up and helped him to stand. She said, "I suppose my moves are... unorthodox, but they're so much fun."
How... did I get beaten so easily?" he asked, his face one big grass-stain.
"Genjutsu," she answered simply. "You were pretty much paralyzed for exactly fifteen seconds... I could've made it longer, but that would've been mean."
Shuichi laughed sheepishly. Maybe she was quite the genjutsu-user. He, himself, was known for his Genjutsu and he'd never seen that technique.
Of course, Sakura already knew that. She'd developed the jutsu herself. But Itachi couldn't help but be confused... He didn't remember ever teaching her that jutsu.
