Okay! Chapter two is up! Deidara, Sasori, and hidan will be showing up any chapters now! And Itachi may be talkative and flirty. So, read and review please!

Itachi: (Sighed) great. We're suppossed to have a date but noooo we got a mission

Sakura: Oh come on, it wasn't that bad

Itachi: Wasn't that bad? We got a mission on our day off! On our anniversary even!

Sakura: Well, the mission is an emergency!

Sasuke: Before this argument could get further, please, do enjoy the story

Sakura stopped and looked behind to see a man wearing a standard jounin outfits, he wears his hitae-ate like a bandanna, his eyes are brown and he got brown shoulder-length. He has his trademark senbon in his mouth. "Ah, Genma-san. Ohayou", Sakura smiled. Genma smiled and nodded, "Ohayou, Sakura-chan, Itachi-san"

"Did you say that we have a mission? Tsunade-sama gave us a day-off for your information", Itachi said, obviously irritated that someone ruined his day with his girlfriend. Genma nodded his head, "Aa. I knew that Tsunade-sama gave both of you a day-off but this is urgent. We really need you two for an A-ranked wants you two in her office right now".

Itachi sighed, once he was about to protest again, Sakura lightly tapped his shoulder and smiled, "C'mon, maybe Shisou really need us". Itachi pout like a little boy, "fine". With that said, Itachi disappeared, leaving a swirl of crow feathers.

Before Sakura disappeared as well, Genma stopped her, "Sakura-chan!". Sakura stopped and looked at Genma curiously, "Yes? What is it, Genma-san?". Genma grinned sheepishly and winked, "Congratulations on your one year anniversary with Itachi-san".

Sakura blushed, muttered a thank you and disappeared, leaving a swirl of cherry blossom petals. Genma sighed and smiled, "Such an adorable girl, She doesn't have any idea that he got all the boys in Konoha all over her. Such innocence".

In front of the Hokage's office, Itachi waited for Sakura to arrive. Once she arrive, he asked her, "What took you so long?". Sakura shrugged, "Genma-san congratulated on our anniversary". Itachi nodded and knocked on Tsunade's office door.

The door opened to revealed a lady with long bluish-black kimono with white trimmings, held close by a white obi, she was wearing an open-toed sandals with low heels. She got black eyes and black straight, shoulder length hair. Her bangs covered her ears and frame her face perfectly.

Sakura smiled warmly, "Shizune-san, ohayou". The said woman smiled back, "Ohayou gozaimasu. Sakura-chan. I see you're here with Itachi-san". Hearing the name of her apprentice and the Anbu captain, Tsunade lift her head up from the paperwork and met with a smiling Sakura and an annoyed Itachi.

"Ah, Sakura, Itachi, you're here. I got a mission for you", Tsunade entwined her fingers, saying that she was serious. Itachi rolled his eyes and muttered quietly, "Obviously". Sakura heard what he said and nudged his arm, "Be polite now, Itachi-kun".

Seeing this as a code to continue, Tsunade took a sip of her sake and continues, "It's an A-ranked mission. You two aren't the only one who I assigned for this mission. I have assigned Naruto, Sasuke, and Shisui, since they were in the Anbu squad. They will be helping you accomplished this mission". Itachi crossed his hands, "And our mission is?".

Tsunade glared, "Don't you test my patience, young man". Tsunade piched her bridge nose and sighed, "As we all know, the nation festival will be held in our village, the hidden leaf. Lots of villagers, ninjas and foreigners from other places are coming to this place. We got an information that the sound are planning for an attack this night. Luckily, there will be just several sound ninjas. So war won't be happening today. Itachi, I assigned you to be the captain, seeing you're the Anbu Captain and all. You, Sasuke, Naruto, and Shisui will be wearing your everyday clothing. While you, Sakura, will be wearing a kimono".

The people in the room could hear Sakura's groan in protest, "But Shisou, it's hard when you're fighting while wearing a kimono". Tsunade smiled, "You're an Anbu, Sakura. I'm sure you could fight with kimono on". Sakura about to protest again, but Itachi scrambled her hair and grinned, "Mission accepted, Tsunade-sama. When do we begin?".

Tsunade nodded, "You will begin right now. Just pretend that you still got their day-off. But if there are sound ninjas approaching, attack them. But don't kill them, we need some information. And as usual, we leave the interrogation to Ibiki".

If you forgot who Ibiki Morino was, I'll tell you. His position is 'Head of the Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force'. Ibiki is a very strict person, and has even been described as being a sadist by Kakashi. Nevertheless, Ibiki has shown a more relaxed side, he also laughed after finding out that he had passed 'someone' who didn't answer a single question in the Chuunin Exam.

That's enough for Ibiki, we go back with our favourite pairing. Sakura and Itachi were now walking around the road where the nation festival will be held. Sakura noticed a stand that is crowded with so many people.

"Itachi-kun, what stand is that? It's so crowded", Sakura pulled Itachi's shirt lightly while pointing to the direction of the crowded stand. Itachi looked at Sakura and then looked at the crowded stand, "I don't have any idea. Let's go and find out". Sakura nodded her head and walked towards the stand.

Once it wasn't so crowded anymore, Sakura and Itachi stepped in front of the stand and surprised to see Ino with a purple hair. Okay what? Ino with purple hair? "Pig, what's wrong with your hair?! Did you painted it or have you lose your mind?!". Ino giggled, took a mirror and combed her hair with her fingers.

Sakura looked up and saw a banner with colourful words, "Everyone dyes? What kind of name is that?". "The name of this stand of course. Sakura, you should dye your hair into I don't know.. blond maybe? Bubblegum pink locks are so last year", Ino smirked wickedly. Sakura glared, "If you ever tried on dying my hair into another colour that is not bubblegum pink, read your banner".

Ino looked up on her banner, "Everyone dyes? (Read: Everyone Dies) What about it?". Sakura crossed her hands and stayed still, waiting for Ino to understand what she meant. A couple of minutes later, Ino realised what Sakura meant and begin to sweatdropped, "Girl, you're good at playing words".

Sakura laughed. Itachi frowned, how long should he accompany Sakura doing some girl talks with Ino? It's time for him to settle things up, "Sakura, I'm hungry. Let's go and have dango". Sakura nodded, excused themselves to Ino and walked to a dango shop.

The shop's sign is in a form of a stick with white-coloured dango run through it. The hiragana for dango is painted red on them. The inside of the shop is simple with wooden tables, rectangular-shaped lights, and menus that hang all over the walls for customers to look at.

Once they sat , a waitress approached them and asked for their orders. While Itachi was busy resting his head on the table, Sakura looked at the waitress and ordered their orders, "A plate of dango, a bowl of anmitsu, and two green teas please". The waitress wrote their orders, bow and left to the kitchen.

Sakura looked at Itachi, who was still resting his head on the table, weirdly, "What are you doing?". Itachi lift his head up and smirked, "Nothing. I was just imagining you fighting with a kimono". Sakura frowned, "Can't you be a little detail?". He smirked even wider, "I imagined that the enemy has cut some of your kimono fabric so the kimono's length stopped on your thigh. And imagine you wore the kimono loose, the sleeve went down your shoulders, the center part shows your cleavage..".

Sakura stared at Itachi, "Itachi-kun, do you even realize that you're nose is bleeding?". Itachi blinked, "It is?". Sakura sighed, took a tissue and wiped Itachi's bleeding nose with it, "You're such a pervert sometimes". Itachi grinned, "But i'm your pervert". Sakura smiled and rest her head on his shoulder, "Yeah".

Once their order came, they ate peacefully. "After this, where are we going?", Sakura started the conversation. Itachi, "Anywhere you want to go, sweetheart". Sakura smiled and kissed his cheek which made Itachi smirked, "What's with that?". Sakura smiled and hugged his arm, "Nothing. I just feel like it".

After their visit at the dango shop, Itachi held Sakura's hand and walked to the direction of Sakura's house. "I-Itachi-kun, why are we walking towards the direction of my house?", Sakura asked curiously. Her face is slightly pink from Itachi's hand-holding. He smirked, "Well, Tsunade-sama did told you to wear a kimono, didn't she? So we're going to your house and you will wear your kimono that I gave you on your fifteenth birthday".

They arrived in front of a white, medium sized mansion. There are flowers around the mansion which made the atmosphere calm. Behind the mansion is a large training ground with three woods to practise shurikenjutsu. On the corner of the training ground is a beautiful cherry blossom tree, there is also a brown bench under the cherry blossom tree for Sakura to sit at. (AN: I'm not going to make cherry blossom tree into sakura tree because it'll confuse you. Example: Sakura sit under a Sakura tree in a sunny day and one of the Sakura flower petals are flying towards Sakura. Confusing isn't it?)

Sakura unlocked the door and let Itachi in. Once they were inside, Sakura offered Itachi something to drink, "Would you like something to drink?". Itachi shook his head, "Nah, I'll go take some drinks by myself if I want to. Thanks anyway". Sakura smiled, "I'll go upstairs to change. Back in a minute".

Itachi observed his surroundings, it's been a while since Itachi went to her house. Last time he came to her house was when Sasuke and him stay for the night because of a rainstorm. He noticed five framed pictures on the table and walked towards it to take a closer look.

The first picture is a picture of Sasuke and Sakura. Sakura was smiling with her winter coat and Sasuke's back was facing the camera. He frowned at the direction of the camera. Sasuke is also wearing his winter coat.

The second picture is an another picture of Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura and Sasuke were sitting with their back against each others. Sakura lift her knees up and smiled sweetly while Sasuke lifted his right knee, frowning as usual. They were wearing their genin outifts.

The third picture, the middle picture is a picture of Sakura and her parent. She was in the middle while her mother in the left and her father in the right. Sakura was smiling cheerfully, Mebuki was smiling sweetly and Kizashi was grinning sheepishly.

The fourth picture is a picture of Sakura and Itachi. They were sitting on a bench, Sakura was wearing her academy outfit and Itachi was wearing his chuunin outift. Itachi was giving Sakura one of his dango, which, Sakura took happily.

The fifth picture is an another picture of Sakura and Itachi. They were in front of the Ichiraku Ramen Bar and were wearing their Anbu uniform. Sakura was smiling and her finger made a peace sign while Itachi was doing the same. Looks like they have finished their mission.

A few minutes have passed, Sakura came downstairs with her kimono. It was a red kimono with pink cherry blossom patterns all over and white trimmings. It was held close by an orange obi, she was wearing an open-toed sandals with low heels. The one that Shizune wore.

Itachi's heart stopped, 'She looked so beautiful'. Sakura smiled and twirl elegantly, "How do I look?". Itachi smirked, "Perfect". He walked towards Sakura and hugged her gently, "You're so beautiful. Too bad that kimono is going to be ruined by the sound ninjas". Sakura laughed, "You can always buy me a new one, right?".

"Anything you want, my dear princess"

DUN! DUN! DUUUN!
