AU: I don't own!
Sakura sat silently her head bowed causing her pink hair to drape around her pale face. One hand rested on her shoulder where her cloak draped to the side slightly. Emmiting from that hand was a mint color as she healed the dark bruise. The blond man staring at her from the trees shook his head. Itachi had done it he knew he had. Silently the female pulled her red and black cloak tight and stood bringing her hand up to wipe her emerald eyes before she started to turn to go back inside.
"Sakura un!" Deidara called as he made his way out of the shadows. He watched as she spun and a smile showed on her face.
"How was the mission?" She asked.
"Boring. I wasn't able to show off my art un." He grumbled
"Poor poor Deidara." She said with a faux depressed tone.
Her good mood was shattered again when she felt a presence walk out of the base like a brooding storm cloud. Turning slowly she looked up at the Uchiha.
"Hello Itachi-san" She said speeking quietly and more refined then before.
"I have a mission." He said looking down at her with his crimison eyes. "Try to stay out of trouble." His gaze flicered to the blond for a moment before he dissapeared in a puff of smoke leaving the Knoachi letting out the breath she had been holding and the blond glaring at the spot Itachi once stood.
"He treats you like a dog un." Deidara spoke after a moment as Sakura turned back to face him.
"I'm not a dog." She said with a frown.
"Never said you were just that he treated you like one un."
"..."
Slowly Sakura turned and started walking back towards the base only to have a hand reach out and grab her shoulder making her flinch and cower slightly.
"I wont hurt you un." He said loosening his grip on her as he saw her flinch "I would never hurt you." Gently he pulled her towards him and looked down into the green depths of her eyes. 'Why do you let him treat you like that un?"
"To protect my precious people" She wispered looking at him with a slightly loving spark.
Deidara looked down at her his blue eys searching her face trying to understand. But when he saw her eyes a look of shock passed over his face before a slightly smug look took over his face. Gently he reached up and brushed a strand of hair from her eyes and shook his head. "You don't need to protect me Un." He said pulling his hand back only when the mouth on it decided to act on its own and attempt to lick her cheek. He pushed back a light blush when Sakura grasped his hand and placed hit back on her cheek ignoring the mouth on it. A sign that she accepted his diffrence.
"But that is how I am. I want to protect everyone." She wispered looking awat for a moment before snapping her eyes back as she felt the Pyromanics lips drop onto her own, and his arms pull her close. "Let me protect you from him un." He wispered as he pulled back and lent his forehead agenst hers as he looked into her dazed eyes. Slowly she nodded and allowed him to lead her into the base. "Let me undo the pain he has caused you Un." Gently he led her into his room.
Sakura lay silently her head resting on Deidaras chest. Her eyes were closed but she was awake. If only barely. After a few moments she looked up at the bommer and gave him a soft smile as she reached up and brushed his har from his face so she could see im clearly. He opened his blue eyes and gazed down at the beautiful woman leaning on him. Their bodys were only covered by a thin black sheet the rest pushed to the ground durring there love makeing.
"Deidara I think I love you." the medic wispered softly as she rested her head back on his chest. Her hand reached up and gently traced the dark lines on the mans chest her tough light. She didn't looked up to see his face at her words but rather let her eyes drop away.
"Sakura... I think I might love you too." Sakura looked up in slight shock. "And if Itachi touches you again I will make sure his face is down in the dirt and not yours."
