***ENDING ONE***
Itachi closed his eyes, seemingly contemplating. "...But how would I get in? Now more than ever, there's enforced Anbu units everywhere and such." he replied, eyes still closed.
"Well, I'm still the Godaime's apprentice. If I make a certain drug, I can make it so that your chakra levels will temporarily be as low as a normal civilians, I'll cast an unbreakable henge to change your features, and we'll dress you as a civilian. I'll ask to see Tsunade-chan because I found you, a wandering, seemingly lost civilian. And then we'd talk to her." She replied calmly, as if she'd already thought this out. Finally opening his eyes, Itachi gave Sakura a serene smile and held his hand out to her.
Sakura took a confident step forward, and as luck would have it--the barrier was gone. She ran at breakneck speed and hugged him tight, as though she'd never let go--even through death.
He wrapped his arms around her, inhaling her unusual scent of peppermint, and was immediately calmed.
"Alright....we'll do it." he replied, taking her by the hand. They walked out of his subconscious, and Itachi disappeared--once again in the world of the living. He was squirming on the ground in irritation, and Sakura sent her cooling chakra through his body to calm him. He opened his eyes, and smiled--yes, Itachi actually SMILED, not smirked--at her, and reached his hand out to caress her cheek. "....You are my sunshine..." he replied, before drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
Sakura watched him with a smile and arranged them so that Itachi's head was in her lap. She stroked his let down hair--for his ribbon was lost during battle-- and sighed to herself. 'Yeah...Itachi, we'll make it. You deserve happiness...and I promise you'll get it.' she inwardly vowed.
