Sakura blinked.She looked at the sleeping Sasuke beside her.
"You are so good to me."She sighed.She had been 'going out' with Sasuke for two months off and on.
She got up rubbing her head."Owwww!My head!I hate these!"
She had been feeling strange lately.Every second, her head throbed painfuly.
It was if some one was calling her, like she should be somewhere else...
Sasuke moaned."S-S-Sakura.
"You lazy bum!I just don't believe you."She laughed."I...owww..I'm gonna...go out.I won't be back 'til later.Maybe even a day or two..I dunno..."
"I'll miss you.."
"I'm sure you will..I'll call you...I'm just gonna go to my mother's for... a while..."
"OK.I'll be waiting ...babe."
"Oh don't be trying to get anything from me drunk..."She loved saying that to him,he always put up a pitiful fight(a drunk one anyway).
Sakura grabbed her stuff and packed a little more(make-up,weapons,basically,every girl's practical needs).
"Bye hun!"She slammed the door and took off.
(At her mom's house)
"Hey Sakura!"
"Oh god..."She mumbled.
She ungreatfuly received Hinata's hug.She had been staying in Sakura's room while she was gone.
"Have you seen Neji lately?"Sakura asked.(Neji had asked her to keep some secrets and then asked her out,how embarassing!)
"Uh, he...he asked me not to talk to you...sorry."
"It's alright Hinata.Just tell him sorry for me."
"I'm glad to see you again.What has it been?Two years?"
"Yep."Sakura sighed.It had been two years since her life turned upside-down."Two years."
"Sakura!My little baby!You came home!"Her mom hugged her.She looked really bad."I'm so glad!"
"Me too mom.Me too."Sakura released her mom."I'm sleeply.I think I'll go to sleep in my box of memories."
Sakura ran in the house and embraced the smell of cherries that washed over her.
She ran around but couldn't find anything missing or changed.
"I'm just worrying myself."
She ran upstairs into her old room.Nothing was touched or moved.Only thing that was different was the bed that had obviously been slept on.
She slammed down on it.She had gotten used to staying up all night and sleeping all day.
She slept for hours well into the night.
Sometime after 10 at night she woke up with that same splitting headache she suffered frequently.
It was so strong this time though!She got out of bed but fell back down on the floor.
The pain had spread to her heart.She clutched her heart.
She put on her shoes and wrote her mom a note:
'I'll be back later.Those feelings returned.This time Sasuke couldn't help me.I'm
following the feeling to where ever it takes me.It took me to the woods last time.I'll
search there first.I keep seeing this beautiful place with a lingering shadow.Maybe it's
trying to tell me something.I'll try to contact you whenever I can.Don't worry Mom.
If you do worry because I am gone for a while,send Kakashi and Sasuke after me.
Love,Sakura'
"Ok.I can leave.Bye bye world."
Sakura ran out the door and into the woods.It was so much like the Forest of Death:
Forbidding and mysterious.
(Somewhere in the woods)
"HELP!God dammit!I can't believe I got lost in my own fucking woods!"
She plopped down on a nearby tree-stump.
A twig snapped.She jumped.
"Dammit!My luck fuckin' sucks!"
Birds flew out of an area close-by.
"Shit!What the hell's after me now?I can't believe this sh..."
A stone flew out of nowhere and knocked her out.
(Somewhere)
Sakura woke up.
She was in some type of palace.
"MY LIFE FUCKIN' SUCKS!WHO THE HELL DID THAT?"
"You really cuss alot."
Sakura jumped."Who are you?"
"The person who knocked you the fuck out."
A boy older than Sasuke walked out of the shadows.
"ITACHI!YOU!YOU KILLED THE ENTIRE UCHIHA CLAN AND SASUKE'S PARENTS!"
"They were mine too."
"DON'T GET ANYWHERE NEAR ME!"
"How do you think you got here?"
She felt all over her body.
"YOU BETTER NOT HAVE TOUCHED ME YOU PERVERT!I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF IF YOU DID!"
He laughed."And how do you think you'd do that?"
"I...I'LL BE CREATIVE!"
"Such spunk.I like you."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
"I guess you came here because of your pains."
"H-HOW DO YOU KNOW?"
"I have them too."
"GREAT!JUST GREAT!THE PERSON I HATE AND I HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON!"
"And why do you hate me?I never did anything to you."
"EVERYBODY HATES YOU!EVERYBODY KNEW THE UCHIHAS AND THEIR FAMILY.THEY WHERE ALL NICE!"
"That's the side you saw.You never saw the side of them I did almost every day."
"I DON'T CARE!I LOVED THEIR FAMILY!THEY WERE ALL NICE!I WANTED SO MUCH TO BE IN IT!"
"With darling little Sasuke I guess.Such ignorance."
"SHUT UP!HE LOVES ME BACK NOW!"
"Sure.That's why you only are his play-thing.He sleeps with you and moves on.He never did tell you that he loved you did he?"
He laughed.
"All you do is be there.He doesn't care.He could care less if it were you or some one else.I can't believe he tricked you so easily.He is not capible of love."
"S-SHUT UP!"Sakura was crying now.
"Awww,did I make you cry?For some reason I'm good at that."He laughed.
"I SAID SHUT UP!"
"Why should I?I like making people cry.It makes me happy."
"P-PLEASE SHUT UP!I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!JUST SHUT UP!
"Boohoo.Cry away little Sakura.You couln't handle anything.They were right."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
"Sasuke,Naruto and everybody else.You're the weakest of the three.Always will be."
"WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN?"
"That's exactly what I asked my parents every day."
"SHUT UP!"She scooted away as he walked closer."DON'T COME NEAR ME!"
"You really are scared of me aren't you?"
He reached out a hand and gently brushed her face.
She shuddered.
"Do you like that Sakura?"
"DON'T TOUCH ME!GET AWAY!"
"Awww,don't be like that.I'm not going to hurt you."
"I DON'T CARE!GET AWAY!I DON'T LIKE YOU!"
"That hurts my feelings Sakura.Why don't you like me?I AM likable."
"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!GET AWAY YOU PIG!"
"I am really hurt.I am so loved by the girls at the bar.Why don't you love me too.It'll be fun."
"SHUT UP!YOU ARE SO GROSS!I WILL NOT BE YOUR WHORE!YOU MUST BE IMAGINING THINGS!"
Sakura got up and dusted herself off.
"You're sure?"
He held out a hand and smiled.
"Then you wouldn't like to go to the party in the next room.Everybody is there.All of the people from the writing part of the preliminaries are there.All of your childhood friends.All waiting for you."
Sakura looked at his hand then at the door.
"Alright.This better not be a trick."
She took his hand and a warm feeling shot through her entire body.She stopped.
"What?Having second thoughts my pet?"
"I don't feel so good."
"Awww.Poor whore.Are you sure you'll be able to come?"
"STOP CALLING ME A WHORE!I DIDN'T FUCK YOU OR ANYTHING!YOU'RE NASTY!"
"You found your voice I see."
They were still holding hands.He squeezed her hand.
"STOP!I JUST WANT TO SEE MY FRIENDS!"
"Alright my pet.I just want you to be happy."
"OH SHUT UP YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME THROW UP!"
"Such rebelion.I hope you know I could have killed you as soon as I saw you in the woods.I would be nice to me my little pet."
Sakura shuddered.'He could have!Did he just bring me here to have his way with me or some other reason?'
Itachi smiled.
"What are you thinking?"
"Why did you bring me here?"
"I was waiting for that question.I brought you here because I wanted to."
"That didn't help me at all."
"I know."
Itachi eyed her up and down.
"Will you stop looking at me like that?You're scaring me."
"I like looking at you like that."
He walked her up to the door but backed her up to the wall and slammed her against it.
"Why can't I look at you like that?"
"STOP!GET OFF OF ME!I DON'T WANT TO!GO AWAY!HELP!HELP!HELP!KAKASHI!NEJI!SASUKE!HELP!
ANYBODY!"
She struggled to get free but with no avail.
Itachi held her arms against the wall.He pinned her legs to the wall with his.
"Don't you want to stay?"
He licked her cheek.
"GET OFF!NO!"
Itachi kissed her.She stood still from fright and shock.
"Itachi?"
"Yes?"
"Do that again."
He smiled.He leaned forward and kissed her again.
"I...I can't believe this!My...my heart!It is so sore!Itachi?How do you feel?"
"Oh now you like me after I kissed you."
"No,I just think I found a cure."
"Oh so every time you hurt you'll call me up and kiss me in front of Sasuke and our lives will be all fine and dandy?"
"You're an asshole you know that?NOW WILL YOU GET THE FUCK OFF ME?"
"Such language."
"Shuddup!"
He unpinned her and backed up.
"Hey now.I felt something too if that makes you feel any better."
"I HAVE TO TELL MOM!SHE WILL BE SO HAPPY I FEEL BETTER!Mom..."
Sakura stepped up to Itachi."I have to go home."
"No."
"WHAT?"
"No."
"WHY THE HELL NOT?"
"I don't want you to go."
"What if I came back?"
"Nope.Can't trust you."
"WHAT?I HAVEN'T RAN AWAY YET!HOW CAN YOU NOT TRUST ME?"
Itachi gave her a very sarcastic look.
"Ok,so maybe I wouldn't trust myself either.Fair enough.But I still want to go home."
"Only if you bargain with me."
"What do you want?"
"You have to please me before you go."
"AWWW HELL NO!YOU ARE OUTTA YOUR MIND!THAT IS SO GROSS!"
"You please Sasuke all the time at his will.Why not mine?"
"I DON'T LOVE YOU!I AM NOT THAT LOW YOU PERVERT!YOU WON'T GET ME YET!A KISS SURE JUST NOT THAT!"
"I am dissapointed in you.I guess you'll just be staying here until you do so."
"I guess so."
Itachi walked toward her.
She stood her ground."What now?"
"If you really want to go prove it to me."
"By having sex with you?Like I said before,HELL NO!"
"No,just prove it to me.If you really want to go home that is.I don't mean that but if it makes you feel better..."
Sakura slapped him.
"What was that for?"
"YOU'RE GROSS!"
"Thank you.I try so hard."
"DO YOU EVER SHUT UP YOU EGO MANIAC?YOU!YOU!YOU!IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT YOU!"
"My,my,my!You're so nice.I can't BELIEVE that you have friends."
Sakura screamed.
"YOU DRIVE ME NUTS!I CAN'T STAND YOU!YOU ARE SO...SO...SO...AAAARRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!
I CAN'T STAND YOU!"
"Sakura?"
"WHAT?"
"Are you done yet?"
Her entire face turned red from anger.
Itachi smiled."Are you happy Sakura?"
"HELL NO!I AM PISSED OFF BEYOND HELP!YOU WILL PAY YOU ASSHOLE!I AM NOT THAT EASILY..."
"Whatever."
"WHAT?"
"Whatever...I'm not listening to what your saying so go ahead.I don't care."
"YOU!YOU BETTER GET BACK HERE MISTER!"
Itachi was smiling as he walked away.'Another one tricked.I'm so good.Won't be long now.'
"I'll PROVE IT TO YOU THAT I WANT TO GO HOME JUST SO I CAN GET THE HELL AWAY FROM YOU!
AND NO I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT!DON'T EVEN TRY IT BUSTER!"
Itachi stopped and turned around."How are you going to do that?"
(Back at Sakura's house,her mom found the note)
"My little girl!HINATA!LOOK AT THIS!"
"What?"
She took the note from Mrs.Haruno.
"Huh?Feelings?"
"Yeah.I don't know much about them myself.All I know is that she has them.I hope she didn't get lost again.Poor thing.She has the worst sense of direction.I should call up Kakashi.I know something HAD to happen to her.She also has the worst luck."
"Oh dear."
"Yeah.I don't know what to do with her anymore.She does have a will of her own."
Hinata nodded."I agree.Sakura's my friend too.I'll go get Kakashi.I'll be back in a minute."
(At Itachi's hideout)
Sakura flinched.
"I...I'll take care of all your needs for two days straight including today and if you are happy at the end...you will let me go."
"Finaly realizing I have control?"
"YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL!IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED IT NIETHER ONE OF US HAVE HAD ANY PAINS YET!"
Itachi smiled."So you finaly realized it?My pains made me want to run away to whatever was calling me.It happened to be you for some reason."
"What if it was...nevermind.I'll be gone in a couple of days so don't get attached.I don't like it when animals follow me home.They bring fleas."
"Snappy today aren't we?"
"Oh shut up!"
Itachi smirked at her and then brushed her face with his hand."I have needs."
Sakura smacked his hand away."GET THE HELL OFF ME!"
Itachi grabbed her waist and pulled her toward him."Ah come on...you wanna go home right?"
"SEX IS NOT A NEED!"She tried to push him away."GET OFF!"
Itachi laughed."You'll think so if you let me get a hold of you."
"I WILL NOT!I'LL PROBABLY RUN AWAY BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN..."
"And how are you gonna do that?"
"WHY WOULD I TELL YOU?"
Itachi tickled her side.She giggled and tried to hide her smile.
"T-that tickles!"She laughed out loud and and smiled really big.Before she caught her self she gave Itachi a big hug."KNOCK IT OFF SASUKE!"
Itachi looked down at her.'Why is she hugging me and...SASUKE?'
Sakura pushed herself away from him."NO!DON'T GET ANY IDEAS!"
"Too late..."He ran his fingers through her hair and pushed her against the wall."I'm needy..."
"NO YOU'RE HORNY!NOW GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!"
Itachi pouted."Please Sakura?All you have to do is say yes..."
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE...ooooo...".
Sakura stopped yelling as he started to kiss her neck.
'This fells good...'
Itachi smiled to himself.'Got her now...'
He stopped."Are you gonna be quiet now?"
Sakura smiled.She had a blank look on her face as she was flown off to la-la land.
'Itachi?Where did he learn our weak spot?I never saw him around any women before...'
Sakura silenced her thoughts.Her face burned.'For some reason I'm jealous...AM I OK?'
"Sa-ku-ra..."Itachi mumbled in a sing-song voice."Are you all there?"
"Hmmm?"She tilted her head to the left."Yeah..."
"Ok..."He smiled.'She's letting me now...I must have gotten to her...'
"Don't be thinking anything wrong Itachi Uchiha.I am a very skilled..."
"I know..."He went back to her neck.
"Itachi?"
"Mmmmm?"
"Why do we need each other?"
"Umm um."(This is not a 'um i don't know'um,it is a word muffled by her neck)
"Can you please talk to me with your face NOT sucking the fuck out of my neck?"
Itachi looked up at her."What?"
"WHY DO WE NEED EACH OTHER?"
"I don't know...maybe the almighty gods want you to give me..."
"NO THEY DO NOT!"
Itachi laughed."You are very...cute in your own way...Sakura?"
"Yeah?"
"Not being dirty or anything but there is only one bedroom and one bed.I hope you don't mind..."
"Liar..."
"I was just thinking...you might miss the warmth of another body and I was just offering so you would be..."
"Where's the other bedroom?"
"You're awful blunt."
"I know.Where is the other room?"
"Here...I'll take you...but you have to promise not to escape before you're first promise is kept..."
"I know.I know..."
Itachi nodded and then led her to the room.
(in the room...DUH!)
"Here you are...my room is just down the hall...two doors down...on the left..."He pointed to the said room."Wake me if you need anything...I wouldn't want my little slave to get hungry or scared to death before she keeps a promise...or two..."
"Humpf...whatever...just leave me alone now...I have to get plenty of sleep so I can take care of your whiny ass..."
"Gee thanks for the compliment...sleep tight..."
Shivers ran down Sakura's back...'Sleep tight...'
