Only You –

"Sakura!" I exclaimed, going out of the back door. "Sakura please, it wasn't what it looked like!"

"Leave me alone you big jerk!" She called back.

I searched around the backyard, the pinkette was no where to be found. I needed to talk to her, explain things between me and another girl wasn't what it seemed.

I sighed as I searched all around the backyard; Sakura had been hurt before, by my little brother, Sasuke, and now she thought I hurt her too.

"Sakura!" I called again. "Please come out, I want to talk to you, I want to explain everything!"

"There is nothing to explain!" I heard from behind a near by tree. "I don't want to see you or talk to you ever again!"

"I wasn't kissing her, she was kissing me… Believe me; I would never do anything to hurt you." I said, beginning to search behind the trees.

"Yeah and I'm supposed to believe that?" Sakura said. "You're no different then your brother!"

"Do you really believe that?"

"Yes! I wish I never would've met you or your brother!"

"So you regret that I ever cared for you when you were only eight… That I played princess and knight with you when you were? That I gave you your first kiss?" I began. "I remember you forgot how to say my name when I kissed you, you said, "Tachi"."

"…I regret it all…" Sakura said, a little sadly.

I continued to search for the girl, then smiled a bit when I found her on the tree swing, the petals of the cherry blossoms fell from the tree, onto the ground around her. I had put that swing up for her when she was three and she had to have it under the Sakura blossom tree, since the tree had her name.

"You look pretty sitting there." I said, looking at her.

"Mmm… Thanks…"

"Mmm… Thanks…" I mimicked.

She looked back at me, her emerald green eyes filled with sadness. I approached her and touched her shoulder gently.

"Looks like I found you."

"Why did you mock me? You know I hate that."

"I know. I know a lot of things about you." I said, looking up at the tree.

"Do you now?" Sakura said, looking up at me.

"Yes, like you hate being considered weak, you love dumplings, you brush your hair one hundred times before going to bed…"

"What? How did you know that about me? You're never in my room!"

"My little secret."

"I would like to know how you know Mr. Itachi Uchiha…" The feisty eighteen-year-old said, standing up.

"Alright, well I was walking to my bedroom and then I heard you singing. I enjoyed listening to you." I began. "As I listened to you, I saw you brushing your hair and I counted that you brushed your hair one hundred times."

"I feel like I have been stalked by a twenty-three-year-old man…"

"Really now?" I said, looking down at her.

"Well yeah, I mean you watched me brush my hair." She said, turning away.

"Sakura?"

"What do you want Itachi?"

"Do you want to break up? Is that what you want?" I began, turning away from her. "I will if you want me to."

"Hmmm…"

"I'll miss kissing you, holding your hand, holding you…" I said, touching her finger tips with mine.

"You weren't really kissing her? It was the other way around?"

One of our hands locked together, a gentle spring breeze blew over us, the sweet smell of cherry blossoms filled the air.

"I'm in love with one girl, and one girl only, and it's not Ino…" I told her. "I'm in love with this beautiful girl that I have taken care of since she was an infant."

"Itachi…"I heard her whisper, as she locked her other hand in mine.

I squeezed her hands; there was no other girl I was in love with, no other girl I adored, no other girl that I would rather be with… From the moment I saw Sakura, from the moment I held her in my arms, I was in love. My feelings for her never grew weaker, or dimmed out, every day they always got stronger and stronger.

She and I turned around and faced each other, Sakura looked into my black orbs, I stared down into her round, green orbs and stroked her cheek.

"I-I'm sorry for what I said Itachi. I was so hurt and I just…"

"I understand that you didn't mean it. It wouldn't have mattered anyway; I would still love you even if you didn't love me back."

"I really, really do love you Itachi, you truly are my knight."

"I'm just an irresistible guy I guess." I said, smiling warmly.

"Itachi… Don't be so full of yourself." Sakura said, hitting my chest playfully.

"I'm just kidding my cherry blossom princess…"

I stroked her cheek lovingly, then leaned forward and pressed my lips to her's and she automatically began to kiss me back.

Being with her, kissing her, it just felt right. It was like when she came to me, she completed me. Sakura was the missing piece to my puzzle, and I definitely have no regrets about anything.
