Fear and Anticipation
Right now,
I look foward
to so much.
Here you are
back in my life,
wanting to go back.
Back to where,
it ended
for a moment.
Although from that moment
You brought more with you.
Elements that were
all but expected.
Don't make me
regret what I feel
all for you.

Even though his and Kisame's objective was the blond that the young girl talked with only moments ago, they continued to follow the girl. Kisame had the sense not to ask imediately why they were following the girl named Sakura, but it was something that ate at him from time to time, what made the girl so special that they follow her. Lost in the thoughts that were in his head he stopped his following of Itachi and sat on a tree branch and watched as Itachi continued his trek for a while and then stopped and looked back at
him.
"Kisame," Itachi asked in a coldness that seemed to be possessed by all of the men of the Uchiha clan. "Let's go, you know we can't stay here for too long and we need to have Kyuubi in our clutches when we leave," he continued slightly glaring at the shark like nin.
"I am aware of that," Kisame said with a slight growl that he always seemed to possess in his voice, even in the mist of questioning the great Sharigan user. "I am just wondering why are we in the pursuit of some Kunoichi," he asked with a sterness in his voice. This wasn't the first time he questioned his appointed partner and certainly wouldn't be the last time, he watched as Itachi's features scrunched up a bit and as the dark haired man shook his head.
"I just want to see how useful she will be in our capturing the Kyuubi," Itachi said in response, attempting to hide the fact that if the girl was closed to Naruto, she had to be close to Sasuke also. For the past two years, it had been a secret desire for him to face his younger brother again, to test Sasuke's strength and possibly embarass him once more. He was on a mission to find weaknesses of his brother, and when both Naruto and Sakura mentioned Sasuke on numerous occasions in their little talk, he took to mind that the girl had to mean something to his younger brother.
Kisame simply nodded and then jumped a few more branches so he could keep a good pace with the smaller and far more agile man before him. Even though he accepted the reasoning given to him, he couldn't help but doubt Itachi just a bit in the back of his mind. "Remember Itachi, we are here for Kyuubi, not so your very much alive younger brother to live out his little vendetta against you," he said to attempt to remind Itachi of the mission, the second time that day.

As she walked through Konoha, she couldn't help to read strange chakra behind her almost following her. She bit her lip and looked at her surroundings for a moment and then shook her head, now would not be a good time to strike anything behind her. There were two reasons for that she would most definatly embarass herself and also if Tsunade got word of her actions, she wasn't ready to get bitched out by a drunken Hokage, student or not. She picked up her pace to a full run away from the strange chakra as it stopped for a moment, thinking that that was a good sign.
She took to mind that this had begun only moments after she stopped and talked to Naruto, which only meant that this was something after her good friend. Idiot, now they know you have a weakness, screamed her inner self as she ran even faster as the following chakra began to move behind her once more.
What if he really wasn't aware of the fact that someone was in pursuit of him, he had been training with Jiriaya all this time, she answered herself in a matter-of-factly way, taking this as the only reason why Naruto talked with her with no worry at all. That was the only answer that made sense to her at the moment, as she continued to run not paying attention that the businesses began to dissappear and turn into the forest and the training ground. The only time that she was aware of where she was, was when she ran straight into a strong standing tree.
The impact of the tree hurt to say the least, as she let out a yelp and fell backwards to the ground. Pain rang through her but also she heard that ever appearent voice of her innerself, nice way to be watching where you are going, cha!! She grimaced a bit at that comment and pushed herself up rubbing her forehead slightly. Suddenly a rustle came from behind her and she jumped to see a vision of a young man standing behind her with long dark hair tied back into a pony tail, and onyx eyes that could only compete with those of Sasuke-san.
She jumped up at the sight of the man, dispite, that to her, he physically looked good he was a stranger that mysteriously appeared from behind her after she ran into a tree and there had been some new chakra that was following her for quite some time. Pulling out a kunai bracing it so she could attack the man at a moments notice, and stepped back to the tree.
"hn, and here I was going to ask if you were alright," Itachi said coldly at the sight of all of Sakura's actions. He watched as she tilted her head to the side slightly and he sighed a bit, "I just saw that you ran into a tree, I am sorry for showing any concern at all."
"Who the hell are you and why were you following me," Sakura replied back ignoring everthing that Itachi had spoken to her, tightening her grip on the Kunai. She still sensed the other chakra in the distance, so if she attacked the man before her she somehow knew it wouldn't be the best idea.
Itachi shook his head and then sighed at the question, "If I answered that question, you wouldn't like the answer."

"Only if you want to," Naruto replied back proudly standing in front of Sasuke, and then moved into the apartment and then took a seat at the couch in the room. "Although I just felt that was the only way to greet my greatest rival," he said with a chuckle, and continue, "besides Sakura had already ruined the surprise that I would have when I saw you walking through the streets, and the same for you."
Sasuke looked over at Naruto with a glare in his eyes and then shook his head as he went back into his apartment shutting the door behind him. "Hmm, yea she did tell me that you were due to return today, or possibly tommorrow," he said back and then shook his head. "I'm guess that you expected me to go off with Orochimaru, that was probably the surprise you got from Sakura."
"Well considering that I heard Sakura was training with Tsunade and I was with Jiriaya, what was to say that all of team 7 went off with a Legendary Sannin," he reasoned in both his mind and out loud, it was one thing that he did during his time with Jiriaya. It also had been a thought that plagued him during the two and a half years, but with Sasuke sitting there in front of him why should it plague him any longer. "So I guess that you have been training with Kakashi all this time?"
Sasuke shook his head at the thought that Naruto had presented to him and then nodded at his question about training with Kakashi. "I feel that I have gotten much stronger from the intense training that I have been getting from Kakashi," he began and then sighed out loud. "Although he isn't a Legendary Sannin that you've been training so hard with...he is the student of the Fourth Hokage and he was a student of Jiriaya." Somehow that provided him with a sense of confidence, because to him it meant that he had some chance against Naruto if they ever battled again.
"Interesting," was all Naruto said as he got up from the seat that he had taken without permission and walked to the door and Sasuke, and reached behind him and whispered in his ear, "are you willing to test that theroy just yet?"
Sasuke's eyes went wide, at both the unexpectedness of Naruto's getting up and then whispering in his ear. The feel of the blond's warm breath on his ear, made him close his eyes for a moment and then back away, for he was starting to feel hot from the closeness. The saying that distance made ones heart grow fonder, he didn't want to believe, but with Naruto so close he could believe what was happening at the moment. Then his question hit him hard, "so you want to do this here or somewhere else, like the training ground?"
"Training grounds," Naruto said with a nod and then reached for the door and pushed it open and then shoved Sasuke out of the door and then pointed at the hole that Sasuke's punch had caused. "I really think the neighbors and landlord would have a problem if we had our little battle here."
