For the past week Sasuke and Sakura haven't made contact like for a conversations but they say hi that's like it. Itachi comes by home this time not being able to come back he was trying to clear the level out. When he walks in to see Sasuke with a sad face and no Sakura around.

"Hey sasuke, what's with the sad face and where is Sakura" Itachi asks as he sat down with his younger brother.

Sasuke looks up from the floor to itachi's concern face. "Sakura received a phone call from Kakashi about thing so she left me here" Sasuke said in a sad voice.

"Ah by the sound of your voice that you wanted to go" Itachi said.

"No, I was thinking of what happen from a week ago at the festival" Sasuke said looking away.

"Oh, well will be okay if you tell me what happened" Itachi asked.

"Sure, me and Sakura were watching the fireworks, my heart was racing fast and I couldn't stop looking at her, I asked her that I was falling for her and showed her my beating heart said what is this feeling, her face went sad and she told me that she wasn't ready yet" Sasuke explains his story.

"Mmm?, it seems like to me that your falling in love with her" Itachi says with a smirking smile.

"What is love?" Sasuke asked this time.

"Well it's something that you deeply care for, do you care for Sakura" Itachi poked Sasuke's chest where the heart is. Sasuke eyes drifted to his chest as itachi removed his hand and image Sakura in his mind as he smiles.

"I do care for Sakura she was always there for me, but I don't know if she will give the love back" Sasuke says as he looks back at Itachi his older brother.

"Well if she doesn't just be by her side as a friend show her comfort or project her with your life" Itachi pointed out to him.

"Your right, I'll do that thank you brother" Sasuke said giving him closed eyed smile.

"No problem little brother" itachi patted Sasuke's back.

With Sakura

"What you mean Kakashi?" Sakura asked with a shock face. "I mean I want Sasuke to join us, my friend Riku the computer man has found or has search Sasuke skills and they are incredible he can help us with strong missions or the dungeons to free us from this game" Kakashi told Sakura.

"But Kakashi Sasuke is not ready to be out in battle last time he went in battle he went scared, he scared to battle again he doesn't want his history to come back to him from killing alot of people that he really didn't kill" Sakura told Kakashi about sasuke's condition.

"Well that's why your here, you can help him, plus we can give him easy missions for now until he's ready" Kakashi said.

"B-but" Sakura was cutt of by him. "No buts Sakura we really need him, now go get him so he can join" Kakashi said.

"Yes sir" Sakura said saddly as bows out of the room. She closes the door behind her and sighes. "What am I going to do, I should have left him in jail when he have caught him" Sakura thought as she starts walking away.

At Sakura's house

Sakura walks in not even talking off her shoes. She looks around the house to see raven hair man as in Sasuke not in the living room. "Huh?, where's Sasuke" Sakura thought as she moves her self to go in the kitchen finally to see Sasuke trying to learn to cook.

With Sasuke has his menu up with cooking instructions and has a frustration face. "Okay how do I get my knife out to cut the potatoes" Sasuke said talking to himself not knowing Sakura is in the kitchen.

Sakura smells at the good food. "Hmm what smells good" Sakura said scaring Sasuke with a jump. He turns around to see Sakura standing in the door why smiling at him.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you, what are you cooking I thought you don't cook" Sakura said crossing her arms not a meanfull way.

"I uh um, I wanted to make I-lunch f-for you for a sorry lunch because of the festival day at night with the firework and all" Sasuke said with a sutter voice.

"Oh Sasuke" Sakura face saddens that she forgotten all of that time at the festival. "So instead that you can't return feelings to me, I'll still be friends with you and stay by your side" Sasuke said with a blush looking away.

"Well if you want it that way, but things first let me help you cook rest the food, you bring out your kitchen knife in the corner of your menu screen" Sakura said pointing at his screen.

"Thank you for letting me get a second chance, oh and thanks for showing me the kitchen knife" Sasuke said as push the button from screen to bring out his kitchen knife.

Half of the day cooking the food and they finished the food including they ate the food that was actually soup. With Sakura getting up from her seat putting away the dishes. "Thank you for the food Sasuke it was delicious" Sakura thanked Sasuke.

"Your welcome" Sasuke said as he puts away his dish too. Before Sasuke leaves Sakura remembers what Kakashi told her to bring Sasuke to him after lunch.

"Hey sasuke" Sakura asked for him.

"Yes" Sasuke replied.

"My boss as in Kakashi wants you to meet him after I was done with lunch" Sakura told Sasuke.

"What does he want from me?" Sasuke questioned her.

"Well he wants you to join the group since you a great skills to help us" Sakura says frowning.

"What!, but I'm not ready to be out there I freak out when I'm holding a sword, did you tell him that" Sasuke said in a shocking voice.

"I did he said that I'm there for you to help you and he said that he will give you easy missions first until you are comfortable" Sakura explains to Sasuke.

Sasuke doesn't respond after that and turns his head away from her gaze as he sighes. "So get ready to go, I know you don't want but we have too but I'm really sorry" Sakura says.

At the Anbu's place

With Sasuke knocks on the office door. "Come in" A quiet voice responds the know. Sasuke opens the door and walks in with Sakura behind him. Sasuke sees the computer man as in Riku holding his computer.

"Ah Sasuke, good your here I hope you have heard from Sakura about joining us" Kakashi asked with a smile.

"Yes but I don't want to join" Sasuke answers crossing his arms.

"Oh why is that" Kakashi said losing his smile.

"Because I'm not ready, I can't even hold a sword to fight, my mind went blank with fear" Sasuke said.

"Well, you have to join we really need you, you and your brother that I forgot to ask have the best skills right now" Kakashi pleaded for Sasuke to join.

"Plus we have people to help you with your fear problem, look of how many people are trapped in this game and want freedom" Kakashi said.

Sasuke face saddens because of how he forgotten all these innocent people are trapped like him but not as long as he was but he doesn't want them tortured as he was too. "Alright fine I'll join. I'll try to face my fear, I don't want these people trapped of how I was trapped longer than them, I want them free" Sasuke finally accepts to join anbu black opps.

"Thank you Sasuke, people will be happy that you are helping instead being a criminal" Kakashi said as he gets his smile back.

"Hey boss, may I add something in Sasuke's account" Riku asked.

"Yeah, sure what is it" Kakashi asked why Riku asked him this he never did before and felt something was off.

"Oh it's something to help with his fear" Riku said loading up his computer.

"Uh you don't need to do it I'm fine really" Sasuke says putting up his hands showing him that he doesn't want it.

"Why it could help you" Riku told Sasuke.

"I'm sure I can control my fear with people who knows my condition" Sasuke answers.

"Yeah sasuke's right I know his condition more than anyone else" Sakura says putting a hand on sasuke's shoulder.

"Oh alright, can I At least put it in so you can activate when needed" Riku asked Sasuke.

Sasuke felt something different from Riku than before. "Something doesn't feel right" Sasuke thought.

Before Sasuke can answer he felt alittle pain in his shoulder. "Ahhh" Sasuke yelled in pain holding his left shoulder.

"Sasuke" Sakura says in shock going up to sasuke with worry.

Kakashi jumps up in action to see if Sasuke was okay. "Riku he didn't say that you could get it out of his account" Kakashi commanded Riku.

"Right sorry sir" Riku starts typing in his computer.

"Um sir I can't do it it's not letting me" Riku said not in a worry voice.

"What you mean you can't" Kakashi starts to get mad at Riku.

"The computer it's not letting me" Riku points at his computer showing its not working.

"M-my shoulder it hurts" Sasuke says in pain.

"Let me see Sasuke" Sakura said as Sasuke moves his hand away slowly. She moves his part of his shirt down to see his bare shoulder part of neck slowly showing a three tomatoe swirls on.

"It looks like a curse mark" Sakura thought with concern.

"Kakashi come and look at this" Sakura guester him to come. Kakashi comes over to see the mark on Sasuke shoulder.

"Mhh it looks like a curse mark to me" Kakashi said as he turns to Riku working on his computer. "Are you sure this will help his fear" Kakashi asked this time.

"Yes it should when he wants it activated" Riku said as he goes back to his computer.

Sasuke felt the pain slowly go away. "The pain is going away" Sasuke said standing back up.

"Are you sure" Sakura and Kakashi asked him.

"Yeah I'm sure but I'll handle it" Sasuke said.

"Since you will be okay will it be fine to send you on your easy mission with Sakura" Kakashi asked as he goes to sit back in his chair.

"Yes I guess" Sasuke replied.

"Alright your first mission is too go out retrieve a scroll from the theives" Kakashi told them the mission.

"Right, we'll be leaving now thank you" Sakura said with her and Sasuke bowing out.

A week has passed

Sasuke has been doing missions with Sakura the passed week and this time he won't go with Sakura but with different group as in Naruto sai and Shikamaru.

The four walked in the office. "Oooh what are we going to do today Kakashi" Naruto says with excitement.

"You guys are going to invaded the red players in this section of the map" Kakashi explains the mission and showing the location on the map.

"Why we need to invade the red players" Shikamaru asked yawing with a boring tone.

"Because they have stole something from the hokages office, and I have added a new player with you, he should be here now" Kakashi as the door opens to see a man that has been here longer than Kakashi.

"Hello my name is Akane, I'm sure we'll have a blast out there" Akane told his new group putting them on edge.

"I don't trust this guy" Sasuke thought.

"Alright we'll be heading out now" Sai said as they all head out.

With Sakura

Sakura sighes as she finishes with her house chores and hears Itachi walks in with a confusion or worry face. Sakura saw itachi's wired face. "Hey Itachi is there something wrong" Sakura asked as she brings up her menu to bring her cleaning supplies away and back into her normal clothing.

"I have heard that akane has been joining the red players but I really don't know but now I have heard that akane has joined sasuke's group on a mission right now" Itachi explains.

"What!, if this akane person been doing bad things i need to go stop them now" Sakura said running out of her house and runs to anbu's place and barges in Kakashi office seeing his face with confusion.

"Sakura what are you doing here" Kakashi asked with confusion.

"Doesn't matter what mission you put Sasuke on" Sakura asked.

"To a mission to invade the red players here" Kakashi shows Sakura.

"Thank you" Sakura thanked him as she runs out again.

"Please don't let me be late" Sakura thought with worry.

With Sasuke and his team

They have been walking for the past aftenoon kinda close to the red players area. Then Sasuke hears Naruto stomache grumbles. "Hehe sorry about that I should have eaten at home" Naruto leaves out a nervous laugh.

Then every one else stomach growls including Sasuke's. "Actually make that all of us" Shikamaru says.

"Hey lucky I packet us bunch of food for us" Akane says as he opens up his menu and tosses every one a bag.

"Enjoy" Akane said not eating his food.

Naruto totally open his bag to eat his food. "Hey look he even got us juice along the way" as the three of them drink there drinks. Sasuke stares at akane not eating his food.

After that Sasuke drinks his drink no more than seconds a warning sign popped on his screen and Sasuke throws his bottle in the air as he falls down.

"We have been poisoned" Sasuke thought seeing his level 89 level bar going down with a yellow. Sasuke looks at his team on the ground in pain and to see akane all fine as he starts laughing.

"Haha, finally revenge after all this time from you guys getting at all of us" Akane says laughing like a maniac.

"What, you set us up" Sai said as still seeing his health bar going down.

"Ooh yes I did, I kinda mind control kakasbi's mind to think of me as a comrade" Akane says as he summon his sword.

"What!" Naruto says as akane walks up to sasuke.

"Now time to die" Akane says as he stabbs the sword through Sasuke. "Ugh" Sasuke says in pain as the bar goes half.

"Sasuke" Naruto says in shock or kinda worried for sasuke.

"Oooh your the boy that my boss was talking about, he really wants you back, but oh well he doesn't need I'm going to kill you anyway" Akane takes the sword out of him and stabbs him again.

"I can't die like this I need to move" Sasuke thought as he grips the sword.

"Oh I see you don't want to die" Akane said as he wiggled his sword seeing sasuke's strength going away.

"My health bar" Sasuke thought looking at his health bar going to red.

"Wait you can't kill us anyway, we'll come back alive anyway, we can always boost up our level again" Shikamaru said as he bar health half way now.

"I don't care as long I get to see some revenge" Akane laughed again and hears fast running towards him. He looks up to see a pink hair lady running at him with green fist.

"Cha!" She yells punching his face as the sword flies out of Sasuke. "Sasuke, heal" she gave him heal potion as he bar went green still has poison in him.

Sasuke opens his blurry eyes to see Sakura with a worry face. "I have made it just in time" Sakura says.

"Sakura you came" Naruto says with a smile.

"Yes I did will you guys hold on a little longer for me" Sakura told them.

"Yeah sure no problem" Naruto says back.

"You, how dare you" Sakura glare at Akane as he slowly get up from that punch.

Akane puts on a fear face. "No wait" Akane was interrupted by Sakura from a punch again.

"Wait please spare me" Akane pleaded not wanting to be reset.

"Fine, run away before I change my mind" Sakura says glaring turing around not knowing that akane smiling eviling he grips his sword and runs at Sakura.

Sasuke forces himself to summon his sword out as he stabs Akane's heart. "Ghaa" Akane say spitting out blood.

Sakura turns around shock that Sasuke has finally brings out his sword to kill someone.

"Goddamit you kill me, but I will come back and get you" Akane says as he body disappears as Sasuke landed on his knees.

Sakura walks up to sasuke falling to her knees with tears in her eyes. "Its all my fault I should have left you in jail, then you wouldn't have my kind of problem joing the anbu team and none of this wouldn't happen" Sakura says in tears as Sasuke quickly turns around and slowly bring Sakura to him bringing their lips together. The kiss fully lasted a minute with the team looking away.

"Its okay Sakura I am happy right now, I was Happy that you took me in and helping me with my memories and every thing. My life belongs to you now" Sasuke says putting his head on him lap.

"You really mean it Sasuke" Sakura asks with shock.

"Yes I do Sakura I really do love you all my heart" Sasuke says.

"Okay then, I love you too, I couldn't except from before because of Kakashi making you join them" Sakura said patting sasuke's head.

"Hey what about us" Naruto breaking their moment.

"Oh I'm sorry, here" Sakura said as Sasuke gets off of Sakura as summons out a antidote to cure Naruto and the other including Sasuke.

"Thank you" Sai thanked her.

"Lucky you came her or we'll lose our process" Shikamaru said.

"Well it was Itachi he told me that akane was a red player all long" Sakura said.

"Well I have to thank my brother for that" Sasuke said.

"Wait, he's your brother" Naruto said in shock.

"Yes I do have brother well he's my older brother" Sasuke told Naruto.
