Chapter 7

Enjoy~

The heated sunlight gleamed through the illuminated window. Sakura found herself squinting as her wobbly eyes forced themselves to open in the wake of the early sunrise. Shutting her eyes as the pounding of hammers against her head started. 'Damn hangover, maybe I drank too much last night'. She quickly sent a bolt of warm chakra softening her throbbing skull. Suddenly, she realized an arm around her waist, a warm body pressed against her back and feeling warm breaths on the back of her neck. She blinked, 'Okay, who the hell is spooning me?' Sakura gingerly turned her head. 'Gah!' She nearly choked on her saliva. 'Holy'- 'shhh'. Inner stepped in. 'Don't wanna wake him up.' Why are you so calm, inner?! 'What, it's not like you haven't shared a bed with a man before.' 'That's different, Naruto is like a brother to me, this is Itachi Uchiha we're talking about here.' 'Ne, he does look pretty cute when he's sleeping, right.' 'Inner not the time' 'Whatever, I'm going on vacation you're just gonna have to handle this one on your own, good luck!' 'Inner!'

Pulling her closer, longing for her body heat, Sakura shifted awkwardly under his grasp. "Stay still." His unexpected voice commanded. She looked up. "Hey, let me go." She growled. Eyes black as coal stared at her alarmed face. Snuggling harder he nuzzled his nose onto her hair and breathe in her scent. Strawberries. 'What the, did he just smelled my hair? He released her. What am I going? He questioned his action. Why does this girl intrigue me? It is because she is not mine? That I don't have claim on her? No one has ever spoke to him in such antagonistic bold disobedience. He found it strange, he wasn't inflamed by her behaviour, and rather it was entertaining. He couldn't stop thinking about what happened last night…

(Flashback time!)

Really?… then I must be lucky… 'Bam'.

"She's out," Kisame added, as Sakura's head met the wooden table with a soft thump. "We should take her to bed, any volunteers?" His eyes circled the small group. "I guess I'll take her-…

"I'll go." Itachi cut Deidara off mid sentence.

"Oh, fine by me." He scratched the back of his head.

"Yea, just don't get too excited." The shark man laughed darkly. The raven haired man shot him a half hearted glare as he picked up the drunken girl and left the room.

"You know you shouldn't test him like that." Kisame chucked at the blonds words "It's all in good nature."

Itachi made it to his room and placed the Kunoichi gently on the slightly messy bed. He couldn't help but stare at her sleeping form, her chest moved at steady pace and her breathes came out soft and even. As he turned to leave he felt a hand caught his arm and yanked down to meet a pair of rosy lips.

Startling him, her eyes were still close, he tried to pull away but she wrapped her arms around his neck and twisted a few stands of his hair with her fingers. He gave into the kiss, deepening it, propelling her lips with his silky tongue, jamming it in her mouth, " Itachi." she moaned out. This was driving him nuts; he had to stop this before things get out of hand. He forceful pulled their sensual kiss apart. He panted as she slid back down into her profound slumber.

Itachi slumped down beside the bed he ruffled his hair as a sigh escaped his now lonely lips. He waited until he calmed down before heading back to the party.

(End of flashback)

Sakura watch Itachi deep in thought. She jumped up, his gaze fell on her, and stretched as her body trembled and hurried to the door, trying to avoid him; after all she was still mad at him for what happened yesterday. Walking into the kitchen she met the bitter aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Kisame poured himself a cup. At the end of the table, Deidara chowing down on his oatmeal and Tobi enjoying his cereal to the fullest.

"Morning guys," she greeted.

"Morning sunshine, care for a cup?" the shark man gestured to the coffee.

"Please" taking a seat next to Deidara.

"Sleep well?" He asked.

"Yea I did, but what I don't get is I can't remember going to bed last night." She took a whiff of her drink and gladly sipped it.

"Oh yeah, after your little outburst you blanked out," he took a mouthful of his meal. "So Itachi carried you to bed, yeah." Sakura almost spit out the liquid in complete shock. "He did?"

"Uh huh."

"And you look so cozy in his arms" Kiasame laughed. 'Huh, I guess that was a pretty nice of him'. Thinking back to last night she couldn't recall the last time she actual enjoyed herself. The last party she went to was Naruto's and Hinata's wedding after celebration. Her mind sailed off, I wonder how's everyone doing? 'They probably haven't realized you're missing yet.' 'Hey Inner, you're back,'

'Yea, vacation was boring without you there.'

'I m flattered,' Outer sarcastic replied.

'Love you to.'

The pinkette lazed in her seat; I hope Naruto's doing alright

"ACHOOO!" Naruto sneezed as he leapt through the trees. The scent of fresh green leaves was all around them, a hole opened in the crystal blue sky letting the vibrant yellow sunlight fall on Naruto's whiskered features. Kakashi glimpsed over,

"You alright?"

"Yea, just a sneeze."

"Well we better keep up the pace."

"Yea, I know." The wind picked up and shade of red fabric swaying around the ground caught Sasuke's attention. "Oi, stop for a minute." They halted. "What is it teme." The blonde questioned.

"Look at this dobe" he picked up the fabric.

"That-

"it seems to be-

Sasuke nodded. "Yea, I think it's a piece of Sakura's dress she wore at the wedding."

"Kakashi- s-

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu'' "I m already on it" In a swirl of smoke a small dog stood.

"Pukkun!" Naruto beamed.

"Yo"

"Okay no time for meet and greet, I need you to get to work on this for me," he placed the cloth in front of the hound's snout. Taking in a good sniff.

"We're after the Atatsuki, they kidnapped Sakura,"

"Wow really?"

"Yeah, when you have located her report back immedially."

"Got it." Pukken sprinted away.

"Yosh, let's continue." The group nodded.

Taking her last sip, her stomach grumbled, echoed around the kitchen.

"You want some of my oatmeal?" Deidara offered.

"Nah, I don't like it." Getting up, she inspected the fridge and brought out eggs and bacon strips.

"I'll make some scrambled eggs and bacon, want any?" she asked the blonde.

"Thanks, but am good."

"Suit yourself, want any fish-face?"

"Love some pinky" he laughed. "Ooohh Tobi wants too." He chimed.

"Alright, I make some for Itachi while am at it." Cracking the eggs in the bowl, followed by salt and black pepper. Suddenly all heads were turned to acknowledge the raven haired man. "Morning Itachi"

"Aa, Morning," his gaze fell on the pinkette. "Ohayo, I'm preparing some breakfast for everyone"

"I see, I'll help you."

"Oh, okay." Gladly accepting the extra hand. He strolled over to the stove and started placing the bacon in the pan, while Sakura poured the eggs. Her stomach began to flutter, like a butterfly's wings. They were close, that she could feel the warmth of his body and his crisp pine scent. Even though they weren't alone, she felt like the world only consists of the two of them. Flinching a bit, as his hand brushed against hers to reach for another piece of bacon. He noticed her action but kept it to himself. 'Okay, calm down me!' 'Come on, knock it off!' She reached up to the cabinet over his head and pulled out some plates. Her arm rubbed against his shoulder as she brought the down. He narrowed his eyes slightly, she ignored it.

Turning off the stove, he placed equal amounts of eggs and bacon onto the dishes. "It's ready." She handed them the plates. "Itadakimasu" they gobble up the food.

"Thanks for the food."

Breakfast was fairly normal, Kisame talked and joked, Tobi and Deidara steeped frequently. Sakura listened and added the comebacks to Kisame's teasing, while Itachi didn't say much, if not at all, he wasn't a great conversationalist. Now and then he would smirk or answer the questions he was asked. Sakura took the empty dishes to the sink and began to ponder on her worrisome thoughts.

'Oh no, what if Itachi wants to help me wash the dishes, he seems like the kind of arrogant bastard who would never let someone else do his chores. I definitely don't want to go thought what happened when we were cooking. What to do?'

"Hey, deidara come help me with the dishes." He raised a brow. "No need, you can put it in the dish washer, yeah."

"Oh, you got a dishwasher installed huh."

Everyone left after loading the dishes. Sakura felt a little sticky and decided to clean up. She went to the room, surprise Itachi wasn't there, grabbed a change of clothes and dashed to the bathroom. The wooden door came into view, she grasps the knob and opened, stride in and, I'll tell ya, she didn't expect this. Sakura stopped dead on her trail. Eyes widen and a red blush plastered on her startled face. Itachi Uchiha; naked, well, half naked, hair loose, wet, that matted slightly and stuck to his shoulders, towel around his waist. Water droplets embracing and sliding on his lean muscled of his arms and torso. No doubt, Itachi was simply gorgeous. 'And HOT' Inner said thirstily. 'If it wasn't for that damn towel we could get a better look at his-

'Inner please!'

'What? Oh come on Saku, look at the dazzling man in front of us. You know you wanna get under that-

'INNER, SHUT UP!'

'You can't hide from me, ya big pervert.'

'Me?! If anyone's the perv, it's YOU!'

'And proud to be! Well, see ya later and good luck!'

'Goodbye inner' she smiled at her inner animal.

'Oh crap I was in my own world; I'm still staring at him. Say something!'

"It's quite impolite to enter without knocking, Sakura. He walked closer to her and she responded by deepen the blush. "I'm sorry; I didn't know you were in here." 'Relax; don't let this guy get to you.'

"Indeed." They were near. When I say close, I mean really close, the fact that his hard, wet chest was faintly pressing on hers. She gulped and froze as he moaned her name, while wrapping his arm around her waist. She could feel the dew stain her skin, her heart franticly springing in her chest as he bit her earlobe. His tongue now licking the nape of her neck, nipping at her smooth, flushed skin, teasing her, kissing her so hotly on her neck. "Stop-

She was cut off and sucked in a sudden breath when she felt his hand moved, sliding his hand in her shirt, slipping his figures on her hypersensitive abdomen. Gently grabbing her soft breast, her hardened nipples were teetered and tweaked between two talented fingers. Her mind was clouding and knees felt like they were melting as her strength wane with his every movement. She then found herself pinned to the wall; he held her hands above her head. He lifted up her shirt and tossed it aside. "N-No don't-

"Shhh, just relax." He purred into her ear. The goosebumps rise on her flesh as the mist breathed out of her. He smirked and his head sunk lower to her welcoming breasts, and he hungrily accepted her saccharine nipple. She let out in a torrid moan while gripping and digging her nails into his sleek shoulders, which sent waves of delight throughout his body; biting down hard on the rosy pink bud and flicking his hot tongue across it. Sakura's mind felt muzzy at the amazing pleasure she was given, her panties were wet, soaking at this point, a hot sensation was aching in her core. Getting this wet from a bare touch, she wasn't sure how long she could take this. Itachi sucked it deeper and kissed along her stomach.

To her disappointment, his mouth left her tingling body and came eye to eye with her, leaned in and murmured softly and deeply in her blood rushed ear.

"Gochisousama."

Itachi simpered and sauntered out the door, leaving the kunoichi to simmer what just occurred. The young women slumped, trying to regulate her breathing and her clustered mind. She couldn't even believe that an Uchiha just did that to her, I mean Sasuke wouldn't do that if his life depended on it. Taking a look in the mirror; her neck and abdomen were covered with light purple – pink hickeys, she trailed her shaking fingers over them, still feeling his touch lingering on her flesh. She stripped down, turned on the faucet and stepped in, the cool water skipped on her skin as she began to lather the soap with an evil and piqued expression; 'Itachi, you're gonna pay for this.'

Itachi stumbled in his room, the drab sky, dreary and dull, made the room pleasantly dim, no shade was needed to hide in his room. Leaning on the door he placed his hand lightly over his face. "What the hell did I just do?"

'I think the real question is why did you stop?' An inner demon laughed.

"Shut up."

'Now, now, you know you wanted to continue feeling her up, sucking and licking on her delicate flash.' He frowned, he then quickly cloth himself and sleep overcame him as his head hit the snug pillow.

AN: Gochisousama: That was delicious OR thanks for the meal. I'm sorry it took so long with the chapters. But there is more coming your way!
