Welcome To My Home

Sakura looked around, trying desperately to peer through the fog and mist.

"Sakura-chan," a voice said through the mist.

The body heat warned her first but not soon enough to stop the muscular arms from snaking their way around her, effectively pinning her arms to her sides, with the unknown nin's arms right under her breasts. The position they were in was surprisingly arousing, and yet familiar all at the same time.

"Wh-Who are you?" she managed to mutter.

The mist was beginning to thin and she could now make out the pale arms around her. She tried to turn her head but stopped when she felt the person put their face in her hair.

"How've you liked your time without me for all these years?" he asked.

Her breath caught in her throat. "Itachi?"

She could feel the smirk against her hair. "So you do remember me," he mumbled.

He slowly began to turn her in his arms. She looked up at his beautiful face and felt the empty space in her heart fill again. He was about 2 heads taller than her so looking up at him strained her neck slightly.

"I thought I would never see you again. I was so worried. Where did you go? Why didn't you ever come back for me?" she asked.

He pulled her closer and she brought her arms around his waist, burying her face in his chest.

"Sakura, I'm back now and I want you to come with me; to leave Konaha and came with me," he said, stroking her hair.

"Where would we go?" she asked.

There was a pause. She knew he was thinking about what he should tell her.

"I want to be honest with you. We would go to the Akatsuki's hide-out. That's where I've been staying for the past years. It's my home and they my family," he admitted.

Sakura was a bit startled at first but she quickly accepted his life.

"I love you Itachi and I'll do anything just to be with you," she said, tightening her arms around his waist to prove her point.

"Sakura, in order for you to come with me you'd have to become a missing-nin, leave all family and belongings behind, and hardest of all, you'd have to join Akatsuki."

They sat in silence for a while as he let all he had said soak in. He could feel her death-grip on his shirt in the small of his back.

A single tear fell down her cheek.

"I can't loose you again. I have no family, Sasuke turned to Orochimaru years ago and no one has seen him since, and Kakashi and Naruto have been MIA for about a year now. I have nothing but you now. I'll go," she said through her tears.

He brought an arm from her back to her chin and gently pulled it up. Seeing her tear-streaked face made him wish he had never fallen in love with her. That ways she would be saved from so much pain.

Using his thumb he wiped away the tears from one side of her face. "Don't cry. I can't stand to see your tears," he said gently.

Before she could say anything he had pulled her into a deep kiss. She had never allowed him entrance before but he still tried, running his tongue along the seam of her lips. Surprisingly she slowly cracked her lips. He immediately took the chance. Their tongues battled for dominance for only a few seconds before she backed down, giving him control over the kiss.

They were like that until the need for air tore them apart. He looked down at her. He could see her chest moving as she took deep breaths to get air back into her lungs and her bruised lips. The tears made her seafoam green eyes sparkle even more than normal, making him fall in love with them all over again.

"Let's go," he said softly. He picked her up bridal style and then they were off.

It took them about 5 hours before they made it to the hide out and by this time Sakura had fallen asleep in his arms. She seemed so light to him. When they finally reached the place, he woke her. A slight touch and she was immediately awake.

'Good. Light sleeping will be a good thing with all the creeps and perv's in this place,' he thought.

They both stood now, in front of the hide out. It looked like a mid-evil stone castle, and truth be told it at one time was. Now it was used for many more sinister things.

"Welcome to my home," Itachi said.
