Oh and Neji is Sakura's stepbrother not Itachi. Itachi is Sakuras lover, come on this isn't West Virginia. No critiscm inteneded I live in WV. Not Proudly though

Sakura closed her eyes and allowed the cold rain to beat down on her piercing her skin like tiny needles. She felt as if she were the biggest fool in Konoha; she hadn't thought when she made that stupid mistake. How could she think that Sasuke would like something like that? Sakura fell to her knees as thunder clapped across the sky. A sharp pain brought her head up and she looked around, sure that a kunai had flown at her. It wasn't but towering above her stood Neji. Neji's eyes looked threatening, the pale blue orbs burning with rage as he knelt beside Sakura.

"Come inside, so we can talk Sakura-chan," Neji whispered as he held out his hand.

"No," she replied turning away from Neji and burying her face in the palms of her hands.

Neji growled as he grabbed Sakura's arm and tried to force her off of the ground and into the house. "Listen, we have to talk, I need to know what you did."

"I didn't do anything, Itachi did," Sakura whispered as tears washed down her face and fell to the ground at her feet mixing with the rain and dirt. She stood up then and yanked her arm free. Sakura put her arm against her stomach as she stalked into the tiny house. She walked to the bathroom and grabbed the pink box off of the counter causing a bottle of perfume to fall off of the shelf and shatter when it hit the floor. She ignored and walked back through the house only to stop dead in her tracks when she saw her stepbrother and Itachi in the living room. She stared straight at Itachi, then noticed he was staring at the pink cardboard box in her hand she quickly shoved it behind her back and smiled at the men.

"What is it, Sakura?" Itachi asked as he crossed to where she stood on the far side of the room.

Neji's eyes darted between them as realization set in. "What is it, Sakura? Why do you have that?"

"It's nothing," she said slowly, "Itachi, please, don't do this we can talk about it later."

"I think we should talk about it now, angel." Itachi said as he snaked his arm around her at an attempt at getting the box.

She was ready for it and she closed her hands tighter around the object. She blocked her mind from thinking about it, but realized she'd done it to late, he was already rummaging as if he were unpacking boxes.

Itachi looked at her, his disbelief showing. He opened his mouth to speak but only one word came out and it wasn't the one he'd wanted to use.

"You're…"
