Alright here is a quick shout out to KibasNo1Fan for leaving me comments on my chapters Your awesome!! Let's get started.

To Sakura the silence between her and Itachi lasted forever she had thought maybe she shouldn't have had asked Itachi about the Akatsuki, she noticed after she did the room was so quiet you could drop a pin and you would hear it "Uh right sorry I shouldn't have asked"

"The Akatsuki are a unique bunch I would say, they can be nice but they are for sure not the joking around type"

"You don't have to tell me"

"You need information on them right u wanted to ask at my house but didn't, so I'll tell you now" Itachi turned around to that he was facing Sakura from the kitchen "When I was in the Akatsuki before I left we had a mission to attack a small village they attacked a little girls home they held her down making her watch her parents being slaughtered by the hands of one of our members after he killed her parents another member of the Akatsuki Zetsu made her think we weren't going to kill her but at the moment she felt she was safe Kisame Hoshigaki came up behind her and ran his sword through her heart ending her life slowly" Realizing he forgot about Sakura he looked up. "The Akatsuki aren't people to mess around with"

"Thanks I think I get the picture now" Sakura shaking a little.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you but if you want to defeat the Akatsuki one thing you need to know is that their stone cold killers that won't stop for anything till they get what they want" Cooking again.

"And what they want is Naruto" Sakura couldn't help but feel sad that her two best friends and teammates that were being hunted while she remained unharmed. She whispered "I'm useless" she buried her face in her hands.

"Where are your plates?" Itachi's voice was no longer cold it was sweet and comforting making Sakura a little happier that she hadn't lost Itachi completely in her attempt for information on the Akatsuki.

"On your right" Looking at him while he got them. She smiled "So I'm guessing you were the cook of the Akatsuki seeing how graceful you are"

Itachi laughed "I guess you could say that I'm counting that as a compliment I have a hunch I won't get many of those from you" laughing even more.

"Well fine then I won't give you anymore" Crossing her arms at her chest.

"Alright alright I'm sorry" putting his hands up surrendering to the emerald eyed kunoichi.

Chuckling "dinner is ready" pulling Sakura's chair from the table for her.

"Let's hope you didn't burn anything Ita-" She couldn't help but pause at the glorious view of food Itachi had made. Every looked perfect nothing was burnt and honestly he had done a better job than she would have.

"Is there something wrong?" taking Sakura's arm and bringing her to the table

"N-no it's nothing" She wasn't positive but she sure knew she wasn't wrong but Itachi's voice almost sounded smug like he was saying I told you Sa-ku-ra the thought of Itachi saying her name in syllables like he always did made her get Goosebumps. Both of them took their spots on opposite sides of the table facing each other.

Taking the first bite Sakura was stunned by how good the food tasted.

"Well how is it?" Itachi finger's laced

"It's great!!" Sakura embarrassed that Itachi had out done anything she would have prepared.

"That's good to hear" Itachi's eyes softened and he began to eat. During their meal Sakura and Itachi didn't really talk once in a while they'd look and smile at each other but in a way it was awkward. Sakura looked up from her meal and moved her emerald eyes to the man in front of her, she couldn't help notice how good Itachi's manner's were how polite he was, when it came down to it Itachi was gentle, sweet and he cared for other's it almost made him even seem- Sakura you okay?"

She hadn't noticed but she'd been starring at Itachi for the longest time "Sorry yes I'm fine" rubbing the back of her head.

"Oh I thought something was wrong with dinner you had stopped eating that's all"

"No not at all your food is great I actually envy whoever you marry in the future, seeing they'll get to eat more of it" the pink haired kunoichi couldn't help but smile.

Itachi well he was in shock, he never thought that Sakura would acknowledge him like that "Thank you coming from you of all people that means a lot"

"Oh come one Itachi it's not a big deal it's just me after all" Both her and Itachi starred at each other for the longest time Sakura couldn't help but get butterflies in her stomach so she tried changing the subject "Oh are you done eating?" looking at Itachi's empty plate and walking towards him.

"Yes but I can wash it" Getting up from the table

"Okay it's your turn to relax you already cooked" taking his plate from him.

"You're very stubborn you know that?" Itachi couldn't help but chuckle at the face Sakura made at his comment.

"It's one of my many gifts and don't forget your very persistent which isn't so different" rinsing the dishes and leaving them in her sink. "Make yourself at home while I finish these up" When Sakura turned around Itachi was lying down on her couch. "Okay then you had no trouble figuring that out" walking over to him and standing in front of him.

"Well you said make yourself at home" crossing his arms behind his head.

"True" Smiling at him her eyes began to blur and her knees began to give out causing her to begin to fall.

"Sakura!" Jumping up to catch her "Are you alright" holding her tight.

"Yeah I'm fine thanks" Sakura leaned on Itachi for support

"You used up to much of your chakra today" tightens his grip on her.

"I'm fine Itachi you don't have to worry about me" trying to smile but didn't show.

"Don't lie to me don't forget as an Akatsuki member we were trained to lie and Sakura yours don't work on me" bringing Sakura to the couch and laying down with her with his arms still wrapped around. Normally Sakura would push his away but she was comfortable in Itachi's arms, to make it seem like she didn't like it she lied "You're lucky I'm too weak to resist you"

"Sure sure Sakura that's it" knowing she had lied.

"Fine don't believe me then" looking up at her teammates beautiful brother "I never noticed"

"Hm noticed what Sa-ku-ra

"Your actually pretty for a guy" turning her head knowing she couldn't break free from his grasp.

"So in other words you like me" Smirking

"No! What I mean is your pretty like in and outside of your body unlike some people in the village" burring her face in his chest.

"Fine I'll let you win" Kissing her on the head gently. Itachi promised himself that he wouldn't but he couldn't help it Sakura had been to kind to Itachi unlike some people he knew.

Looking up Sakura had turned red "And I thought I had gotten rid of those from you" talking about the sudden kiss.

"Well next time let's not assume things shall we?" moving Sakura so she could be comfortable.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" partially hiding her face behind her hands.

Itachi moved his head down to her neck to her ear "Lets just say I needed a better view" kissing her on the neck.

"Sorry Itachi but like you said I'm stubborn don't think you can win me over so easy" removing his hand from her lips and placing it at his side. Sakura put her head back on his chest

"Wish I could say the same for me-" Itachi had stopped talking as soon as he noticed Sakura fallen asleep. Itachi's eyes softened moving some of Sakura's long hair out of her face thinking about his day with her, the words she spoke to him at dinner kept running through his head.

Itachi smiled "If only you were mine Sakura Haruno that would be a beautiful future"

The Next Day

"Hmn" Sakura didn't open her eyes she just laid in her spot trying to remember what had happened, she finally remembered laying with Itachi on her couch "Itachi!" jumping up. She had finally opened her eyes at that point realizing she was in her bed. Sakura found the strength to get up and she walked to the kitchen trying to not fall over. "What's that?" noticing a note on her table.

Sakura, go back to bed you need rest your still probably very weak I'll be over later on this afternoon to check up on you to make sure that you didn't die, oh don't worry about last night I'll make sure to hold it against you later since you owe me and everything. Stop starring at this note and go back to rest love, Itachi.

"You're to protective Itachi sorry but I'm not a little girl anymore" taking the note with her back to her room so she could prepare for a shower. When she was done getting ready for the day she heard a knock at the door Opening the door "It's not even noon yet Ita-"

"What?" A black haired with black eyes boy stood starring at Sakura with a confused look on his face.

"Sasuke sorry I didn't know it was you" Sakura a little scared that she almost called Sasuke, Itachi"

Walking around Sakura into her home "Well Sorry I wasn't who you expected" chuckling his way to her refrigerator. "Who are you expecting you acted like you were about to jump me" going through Sakura's fridge and pulling out some bottled water.

"No one just a pest that keeps showing up" Closing her door and sitting at the kitchen table.

"Naruto again huh" sighing "I'll get him to back off" shoving one fist to his free hand.

Laughing "It's not Naruto and it doesn't matter who it is, why are you here? You never come over anymore" Sakura was curious.

"Well I didn't have any plans so I thought I'd see my best friend but I see I'm not wanted" walking to the door.

"Sasuke stop it you know that's not true" grabbing his arm feeling bad, she didn't mean for her comment to sound to mean.

Smirking and turning around to face Sakura "You give in to fast"

Crossing her arms "Sasuke don't tease like that you know I'd go after you no matter what"

"Same here, so do you have any plans for today?" tilting his head a little.

"Um yeah I was actually going to go pick out a gift for your brother's birthday you want to come with me?" Sakura knew Sasuke would need an answer if he were to go.

"Why would you get my brother a gift?" a little freaked out.

"Why not get him a gift Sasuke he's your brother and we are friends so I kind of have to" Walking towards the door "You coming or not?"

"Fine fine but I'm just saying he doesn't even deserve it" standing still.

"Oh my gosh Sasuke hurry up" grabbing his hand and running out.

"Hey Sakura! I don't want to run!" tightening his hand around Sakura's.

Laughing "Wow I never knew the great Sasuke Uchiha complained so much"

Sasuke falling for Sakura's trap he ran in front of her tagging her along with their hands in lock "So where to do you want to go"

"Well I was thinking…….."

At Kakashi's house

"Ahh….ahh…Chou!!" "This isn't good I've caught a cold I need to go to the market and get some more tea" Walking out of his house.

Sakura & Sasuke

"Sakura you can't be serious please tell me your not" Sasuke said putting his free hand over his face.

"Oh come on Sasuke why not?" nudging her teammate.

"Because Itachi isn't even worth all this work and he doesn't even deserve something like that, do you really want to influence more killing with that thing" trying to convince Sakura not to buy the item.

"Stop it Sasuke you know that won't happen but do you think it's nice?" starring at her teammate with a worried look.

"It's too nice is what I'm saying Sakura but if you really want to get it, go ahead"

"Thank you so much Sasuke!" "Um sir I'll take this here and could you also engrave a name on it for me?"

"Sakura no!" Sasuke a little pissed at her.

"Yes we can what would you like that name to say?" The salesman asked with a huge smile in his face.

"Itachi" returning the smile back to him.

"Oh what an unusual name I've never heard that name before"

"You're lucky you haven't seen him" Sasuke interrupting the sale. Before he could even react Sakura elbowed Sasuke on his left side "Ah damn it Sakura" grabbing his side with the hand that wasn't holding Sakura's.

"Okay thank you I'll be back tomorrow and just in time since Itachi's birthday is tomorrow too" both her and Sasuke walked out of the store.

"Ah damn it Sakura if I didn't love you so freaking much I would have killed you back there!" Sasuke said still holding on to his side.

"Hey you're the one you made smart comments about Itachi" chucking at Sasuke.

"So he's my brother I'm allowed too it's my job!"

"I'm sorry alright I'll make it up to you" squeezing Sasuke's hand gently but noticeable to feel it.

"You better" pulling Sakura closer to him.

"Hey do you think people will think we're dating since we are holding hands?" Looking at Sasuke with a questioning face.

"So who cares what people think as long as we know that we aren't dating each other there's no problem we've been friends forever Sakura it's not a big deal" a thought made Sasuke smirk "Unless you like me huh do you Sakura?" teasing her knowing she didn't "I mean I know you did but what about now?"

"O shut it Sasuke I get the picture" laughing at the good time she was having with him.

"You never denied it" bumping into Sakura on purpose.

"You never denied being jealous of Itachi talking to me" bumping him back.

"Point taken I guess but you still owe me" Smiling at the fact he knew he had won against his little game with Sakura. "Fine but then you have to stop being mad at the gift I got Itachi"

"Okay as long as I win now I'm okay with that" making his emerald eyed teammate smile with joy.

"Well Well look who we have here Sasuke and Sakura"
