I wasn't sure if I was going to continue writing or not. I've had various tragedies occur during the time I have not updated. However, re-reading the story and seeing the comments that my reviewers have posted, especially one in particular and I believe you know who you are. I thank you for giving me the inspiration that I needed to pick myself out of this little rut I am in and immerse myself in writing once again.

Chapter 3:

"Sa-ku-raaaa"

Oh how she hated that voice. His voice has the ability to anger her and make her shiver at the same time. The hold he has over is undeniable, she is the moth and he is the flame. If she flew to close her wings will burn.

"Sa-ku-raaa, it's very rude to ignore your fiance", his voice low and seductive

"get out of my dreams Uchiha" Sakura hissed, she stiffed a gasp when she felt his warm arms encircle her waist and pulled her to him. She tensed at the contact ready to shove him away only her body had a different idea. She felt herself melt into his embrace like she had every since she was a child. Her body craved him in more than one way.

"it's been to long since I last held you hime" he whispers in her ear earning a low moan from her. She smiles sadly at the old nickname; how she wishes things were different. She once envisioned herself as his wife and mother of his children, but that dream is long dead. He was no longer her Itachi.

"hai, it has. It is a shame of our fate, star crossed lover but by your choice. You chose power over your beloved" she whispered, she saw his sad smile reach his eyes, and for a second she hesitated before waking up

Sakura sighs in regret before slowly turning to look at Sasuke, a small smile spread across her lips. She never pictured herself with Sasuke the childhood crush was merely a charade just so everyone would stop asking her questions about Itachi. She sighed and looked around Sasukes room somehow she was never able to escape the Uchiha compound and deep down she knew she would die in the house as matron. She shook her head and got up from the bed what was wrong with her, how can one visit from him throw her off so easily. She pulled on her ANBU uniform and pulled her mask to the side; she slowly walked to Sasuke and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.

"I'll be back sas-kun" she whispered before covering her face with her mask she quickly jumped out the window, she needed time to clear her mind and that is next to impossible to do in the Uchiha compound. She jump into a nearby tree and sprinted towards the forest.

"Your visit seems to have thrown the kuinochi off Itachi" Kisame commented his voice full of amusement, "she didn't even sense us".

"Do not under estimate her kisame this will be the first and last time she does not sense us. Haruno Sakura does not make the same mistake twice", a hint of pride laced his voice. His blossom flourished into a skilled shinobi.

"Why don't you snatch her already instead of playing cat and mouse with the kunochi", kisame grunted out. His patience was wearing thin the more the girl moved.

"No, the situation does not call for it. Stay here" without a second glance at Kisame; Itachi took to the trees on the trail off his blossom

Kisame chuckled when he saw Itachi disappear into the tree like a child after candy, "the great Itachi Uchiha is acting like a love sick pup, hmmm who woulda thought"

He smirked in triumph when he finally caught up to her she had gotten fast. He had lost her trail momentarily before the sound of splashing caught his attention. A smile spread across his face, she still went to their secret spot. Something in her action stirred the slightest bit of hope in him. Perhaps his koi was still in love with him, his little brother may have tasted her virgin flesh first but he never stole her heart. Once she was back in his arms he would make sure to erase every trace of sasuke away from his precious hime. He quickly masked his chakra and ducked behind a tree. He shook his head he was acting like a hormonal teen but that was the price of being around sakura, she has the ability to break you out of your shell. He licked his lips when Sakuras curvy frame shot up from the water he could see that her eyes were red, perhaps from crying. Her long tresses stuck to her breast hiding her rose pink nipples. Suddenly he was jealous of his foolish otto how dare he enjoy her curves and coax out her first orgasm. He blinked when he felt the familiar burning that came with using the sharigan, the blossom made him lose his temper. No doubt she caught the small amount of chakra that was swirling in his eye or, perhaps he hoped that their bond was strong enough for her to detect his presence.

"Ne lover it is impolite to spy on a maiden while she bathes", her sad voice floated through the air he couldn't help but chuckle. He step from behind the tree his eyes lustfully tracing every inch of her body.

"It would be, if said maiden was still pure" he said smoothly from the inside of his akatuski collar. She narrowed her eyes at him in annoyance.

"Oh please Uchiha. I highly doubt you were celibate all these years. What did you think I didn't know about that little affair you had with miyuri-chan" Sakura hissed and threw her hands up in aggravation. He raised his eyebrow in amusement, so he had not been as discreet as he thought. He chuckled; apparently he had struck a nerve. His eyes trailed over her newly exposed chest, he inwardly groaned when he saw her suck able pink nipples harden, she was a vixen.

"Take a picture it'll last longer perv" she yelled and shot water at Itachi who was clearly distracted by a half naked Sakura. A small smile spread across Itachis face. His blossom always had a gift for water based jutsu, what a box of surprises she was turning out to be.

"hn, no need photogenic memory" he smoothly said before slowly peeling off his cloak. He smirked when he saw Sakura trail her eyes all over his toned chest. The pull was too strong for either of them to resist only Sakura noticed this when his hand grabbed hers.

"Don't" she hissed and lamely tried to pull her hands away from his, Itachi narrowed his eyes at her before forcibly grabbing her chin and made her look at him. Truth be told her body was basking in his touch

"Don't what koi" he whispered into her ear, his hands slowly encircling her waist. It was at that moment that he finally saw the headstrong Sakura Haruno cave in

"Because it will only end in blood shed" she whispered and buried her face into his chest. He slowly traced circles on her exposed back. He knew what she meant, he will die in battle.

"Ah" he said and slowly massaged her tense back earning a moan from Sakura. It was at that moment that he decided no one else but he will make her moan. He forcefully tangled his hands in her hair and pulled back, she gasp at the sharp tug. Almost instantly his lips were on hers.

From the moment his lips touched hers she knew she was ruined for all other men. His kiss was possessive and passionate everything that she ever dreamed of when she was a child. Even when she tried pushing him away he held on to her as if his life depended on it. She couldn't resist the smell of him or the feel of his lips anymore, she found herself slowly circling her arms around his neck and giving into the kiss. She felt tears slid down her face perhaps of joy for being with her lover or perhaps of sadness because of the betrayal she was committing. She whined when she felt his lips move away. Emerald Green met charcoal grey

"Why" she whispered, she felt the tears falling down her face. She cursed at herself she was showing weakness. Every time Itachi came around her emotions become uncontrollable, "This isn't how things are suppose to be!" She yelled and moved away from him, she saw pain briefly flash through his eyes when his cold mask came back up

"It was out of my power Sakura." He whispered, she shook her head turned her back on him. She slowly walked to the river banks.

"You are an enemy of Kohana. Leave now" She coldly said before starting to slip on her Uniform.

"You are ANBU now. Are you not going to bring me in blossom?", she could feel his eyes traveling down her body and for a second she was tempted to forget it all and run to his arms.

"I can't, you are and always will be my weakness Itachi" She whispered before putting on her white armor, "although I'm a little curious as to why you and your partner are in Konoha. So did my brother send you to retrieve the nine tails?"

A smirk appeared on Itachis face, "No"

"Ah, so I see my threat worked then" She heard him chuckle before she put on her mask, "Leave Itachi before Sasuke and Naruto come looking for me", before she could leap to the trees she felt his hand grab her arm. She felt tingles go down her spine and almost instantly her legs became jelly.

"I hate when you turn your back on me hime" He whispered in her ear, his lips slowly planted kiss along her neck. She felt him tighten his hold on her, her eyes slowly closed; she was tired of fighting him, "Your enemies are closer than you think Sakura" , her eyes widened when she felt him let go, She quickly turned around determined to ask him more question only

"I swear he should be a freaking magician" Sakura mumbled before dashing away towards Konoha his warning ringing loudly in her ears. How can her enemies be in Konoha? And why were Itachi and his partner suddenly in Konoha. "I swear these Uchihas and their lack of explanation are going to give me an aneurism" she mumbled
