Hiya guys xD "Before the Sunset" will be the series of Oneshots based on "The Definition of Being Unfair" which for those who haven't read it yet, go and read it! It's a ItaSaku oneshot that I wrote which these will be based on.

I'll warn you now, the attitudes and personalities of Itachi and Sakura will be much more happy, fluffy and less angsty by all means compared to "The Definition of Being Unfair" cause the majority of them will be before Sakura finds out about her illness. If I do decide to do one where Sakura knows she has an illness, I'll warn you beforehand xD I might do one, I might not, just so that people can understand the story more XD

The first oneshot is called "Insomnia", and Itachi is being a bit mean/evil in this one, but only cause he's bored xD And it's not like Sakura won't forgive him xD

Even if you don't like this one, keep checking on here, I've got tons of ideas for the events I'll write about.

Remember to read and review, and this goes on for the rest of the stories, I DO NOT OWN NARUTO.

Oh, one more thing for those who haven't read "The Definition of Being Unfair". READ IT. XD. This fic is AU, A non-massacre fic XD You'll PROBABLY understand this more if you read "The Definition of Being Unfair"

Before the Sunset

Story 1

Insomnia

The daylight was darkening as the sun hid behind the clouds. Night was approaching, and everything and everyone seemed to get ready for it, all except a certain Uchiha.

Eating his homemade dinner alone, he mumbled as he pouted at the fact that Sakura had left him all alone in the house at night for a stupid Class B mission. She had told him that she would be back hopefully by morning, but that meant he was all alone in their house with nothing to do but gather dust.

Glaring angrily at the kitty clock that was hung against the wall in front of him, he watched while chewing as its tail swished past at every second. He wondered what he was going to do that night, he knew full well that he wouldn't be able to sleep without her by his side, and she knew that perfectly well too. Sometimes he swore that she did these things to him on purpose.

Sighing, he got up to wash the dishes then walked outside to look at their pretty garden.

Sakura had insisted that they kept her garden a flower garden instead of making it a private training zone like Itachi had wanted. Itachi had argued of course, but immediately backed down when she told him they were mementos of her mother. He inwardly cringed at the memory of him being an asshole as he told her that the flowers were useless and looked terrible anyway. All she had done in reply was smile and say that she will not allow him to make a death trap field in her back garden and destroy her beloved flowers.

Sitting in the patio in front of their garden, he wondered what type of person Sakura's mother would be. He tried to imagine an older woman with pink hair in gardening clothes trying to plant all these flowers.

Chuckling at the thought, he went back inside and searched upstairs for a picture of her mother.

He searched for ages in their room, but couldn't find any photos. He was sure that there were some, but Sakura had probably put there somewhere where he wouldn't even try to check. He was one to try to respect privacy, and if she didn't want to talk about her yet with him, he wouldn't pressure her.

He sighed, falling down onto the bed, looking blankly at the ceiling. He glanced over at the alarm clock next to their bed, and saw a '17:00'. Groaning, Itachi sat up, hands on his lap.

Trying to think of something to do, he decided to stare blankly at the wall until he would either think of something to do or become sleepy.

10 minutes passed.

Groaning irritably, he buried his face in Sakura's pillow and ploughed himself through and under the blankets. He wriggled to Sakura's side of the bed, and tried to make himself fall asleep.

Another 10 minutes passed.

He turned over restlessly and rested his face on his arm. He tried counting sheep.

He didn't even get to 10.

Leaping out of bed, boredom and unwillingness to sleep, he tried to recall where exactly Sakura was supposed to go to, and what was her mission.

Putting on his (A/N Sexy) ANBU uniform on and grabbing his ninja equipment, he roughly recalled that Sakura was meant to steal some scroll from a mercenary near the border of the Fire Country. Shrugging off his boredom and irritation, he smirked as he wondered what Sakura would say if he beat her to the place. Anyone else could say that he was being extremely evil and playful today, but he didn't care.

With a huge sly grin on his face, he set off.

Meanwhile…

Sakura and her team of Jounin were waiting outside the room that contained the scroll. They already had information that the mercenary would have already hired guards to protect the scroll as Konoha had already sent less capable shinobi to do the job. They were highly underestimating their enemy.

With a bead of sweat rolling down the side of her face, she turned to her left to Hinata. Wordlessly, Hinata understood what Sakura wanted. She slowly nodded back to Sakura in the dim lighting.

Activating her byakugan, she counted 11 men in the room. One of them had an enormous chakra supply, and the feel of it shocked her, forcing her to cancel her jutsu. Unactivating her bloodline limit, she turned to Sakura and whispered her analogy of the situation, apologising for the lack of information.

Sakura nodded, and tried to formulate a plan. Opening her eyes slowly, she turned to the other 3 in her team and briefed them of her plan. Three of them would try to launch a sudden attack and get rid of them all at once, while one of them steals the scroll. It was a simple standard plan that they were going by, but one that was simple enough to work.

Breathing in carefully, the pink haired kunoichi punched down the door, and started charging at the men in the room, until she saw 10 men piled up on the floor in front of her.

Stopping halfway through her tracks, she saw a familiar silhouette yawn in front of her. She stood there in disbelief, flinching as the man stood up and walked towards her.

When he was close enough for her to see through the dim lighting, she gaped at her lover.

"What the hell Itachi!?" She asked, her face in total disbelief and annoyed surprised.

He had gone a long way just to see her, and it was worth it. Her expression was hilarious, and it made even the usually quiet, shy and obedient Itachi nearly keel over from laughter. He stopped laughing though as soon as he saw her angry expression, the silent threat on his life was made apparent as she glared at him.

"I thought you might need some help, and you might be lonely on your way back," he said simply, hugging her softly after placing the scroll in her hands. She huffed at him, mumbling something about he was the one who probably got lonely without her. Itachi just continued hugging her, his smile never leaving his face, whispering something along the lines of, "Did you say something Sakura?" All she did in reply was shake her head, before hugging him back, actually thankful that he came. They didn't stay like that for a while though.

Soon after, against Itachi's wishes, she detached herself from his arms and hit him not-to-gently on the head. With one final glare, which didn't really show real anger, she walked past him to help her teammates who were currently checking the bodies of the ninja that the mercenary had hired to guard the scroll.

After quickly but thoroughly checking the bodies, not saying they didn't trust Itachi's handiwork, they just had to make sure, they made for the exit.

Running far away from the mercenary's house, Sakura lead the team of jounin's through the cold forests, the uninvited ANBU trailing behind them a good distance, making sure that they weren't being followed. They remained like this for the few hours they took to get to Konoha, as they weren't so rushed and also because their speed compared to Itachi's capable speed were much slower.

Only a few miles away from Konoha, Sakura felt Itachi's distant presence suddenly disappear, causing her to halt suddenly. She turned around on the wooden branch and tried her best in the moonlight to see where he could be. Her team members stopped too, curious at why their team leader had stopped.

Sakura threw the scroll to Hinata and ordered them to go back to the village and report, telling them not to include the details about Itachi, she would kill them if they did, or at least make every time they visit the hospital a nightmare. She intended to find where Itachi had disappeared off to.

With a bunch of nods as a reply, they continued to dart off in the direction of their village, leaving their pink haired leader behind on the branch.

Gulping, not used to Itachi disappearing, she turned to head back into the direction that Itachi had disappeared at.

She was jumping from branch to branch slowly, trying her best to see in the dark, where she felt herself trip. Her eyes narrowed as she felt herself fall, she didn't think she would trip not even in the dark. Something had grabbed her ankle.

She closed her eyes as she braced herself for a rough landing, but instead feeling warm familiar arms around her waist, and hearing a deep chuckle emit from the stranger. She shuddered from the sudden warmth.

"Told you I would make sure you won't be lonely on the way back." He chuckled, nuzzling her hair. He felt her sigh in relief as she realised it was him, making him feel a tad bit guilty for scaring her.

She unwrapped his arms from her and wriggled out of his embrace, pouting at him upsettingly.

"Mou, you're so mean. I was really scared for you." She winged with what Itachi could call the cutest pout ever. He let another bubble of laughter escape his lips, before suddenly pouncing on her, grabbing her wrists softly and successfully pinning her down to the tree branch.

He gave her a soft loving kiss, the warmth of his lips reaching her. Nibbling gently on her bottom lip, she gasped allowing him access to her mouth. Noticing her eyes droop, he smirked and slowly drifted apart, leaving her wanting even more as he drew back from her lips. He smiled at her mischievously feeling extremely self-content with himself, and released her wrists.

Getting up, he offered his hand to help her stand up. As soon as she took it though, she felt herself be lifted up into his arms and screamed.

Clinging on for dear life, she buried her face into the crook of his neck as he sped away towards Konoha, where they even passed her team members on the way there. All they did was gape at the speeding Uchiha, and cringed at their leaders high pitched screaming.

For the Uchiha, he was having a great time, her reactions were so cute that he couldn't help but tease her.

In a flash, they were home, and Sakura had stopped screaming. Instead, she was extremely still in his arms, not daring to move from his neck. He carried her upstairs to their room, to their bed and placed her on her side.

After placing her on the bed he took off her bulky jounin vest and then immediately started undressing and changing into something more comfortable to sleep with, and before she could even react, he crawled into the bed beside her.

Burying himself under the duvet again he wrapped his arm around her waist before she could escape, and despite all her thrashing and resisting, he managed to bury his face in the crook of her neck again and crushing her back against his bare chest. Inhaling deeply, he sighed contentedly before drifting off to sleep.
