Thank you so much for the reviews,favoring this story,adding me to your favorite authors list. I realized that after posting this chapter and looking over it(looking for random errors),I noticed that I uploaded the wrong part of Chapter 7. So here it note that things have been added before you skip over this chapter to chapter 8.
Sighing softly,Sakura tore her gaze from the window,which she had been staring out since they had arrived at this Inn,after traveling for five days non-stop. She was looking down at Mikoto's necklace,which was dangling from her neck, when Itachi walked into the room. Walking over to her,Itachi sat down and watched Sakura carefully.
"How- she cleared her throat "How is Sasuke doing" She asked as her green eyes looked up into cold onyx eyes.
"Still grieving"
Sakura sighed as she laid her head on Itachi's shoulder "Why do I feel like I caused all of this" She muttered.
Onyx eyes watched her carefully before wrapping his arm around the kunoichi,pulling her closer. "It was inevitable"
"What do you know" Sakura asked looking up and cutting her eyes towards him.
"Rest" Itachi spoke as he removed himself from Sakura, and walking into into the adjoining bathroom. Sakura huffed slightly before she got up,pulled the covers back and got in the bed and it wasn't long before Sakura had drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
Itachi's eyes opened quickly as he recognized the familiar chakra. He knew that she wasn't due to see him again until a couple of weeks, He figured whatever it was had to be important if she had woken him up out of his sleep,at- He looked over Sakura's short form at the clock- three o' clock in the morning. Adjusting slightly,Itachi pulled away from Sakura,who reluctantly remained sleeping, and slowly got out of the bed,slipped on a shirt and shoes before leaving out of the room quietly.
Itachi found the woman with absolutely no problem. Red eyes stared straight ahead as she came out of the shadows,with someone leaning on her.
"I see you wouldn't take no for an answer"Itachi spoke as a small smirk appeared on his lips.
Leaning against the woman, was a man that the world thought was dead. Clad in his usual Uchiha attire with a black eye patch over his left eye,stood Shisui.
Shisui smiled slightly "Of course not,when Konan told me of what happened in the village,I wanted to make sure that you three were okay"
Itachi nodded
The smirk soon disappeared from his face "So what are you going to do about the situation at hand"
"Its going to take some time but I have to confirm my suspicions before I make my next move"
Shisui nodded as he was roughly poked in his side. Shisui looked back at Konan who was staring at Itachi. "Well I guess this is our cue to leave"
Itachi nodded "Take care of Shisui" Itachi spoke turning his attention towards Konan,who simply nodded as the two disappeared into a tornado of paper butterflies.
Sakura was roughly awaken by the sound of an object crashing in the room next to them, As Sakura started to sit up on the bed, A somewhat cold hand reached up and stopped her from getting out of the bed. Looking over Sakura noticed Itachi staring at her before releasing her arm,getting out of the bed walking over to the door,yanking it open and leaving out of the room. Running a hand over her face,she could distinctly hear Sasuke's voice through the thin walls.
"I couldn't even help them" Sasuke spoke with clear frustration in his voice. "Why couldn't I save them"
"Sasuke"
"No Itachi, Don't try to coddle me like I'm a child, You're the so call prodigy of our clan and you just let them die"
Itachi remained silent as Sasuke continued "This whole damn thing is so, so- Sasuke let out a frustrated cry.
"What would you have me do Sasuke"Itachi asked calmly"Would you rather me leave Sakura alone in this world to carry for our child, with your niece or nephew while I died alongside our parents"
Sasuke remained silent "Maybe if she would of did her job ou- Sakura could distinctly hear the distinct sound of a fist hitting skin.
As she got out of bed and made her way towards Sasuke's room,she could hear a low thud as she walked in to find Itachi holding Sasuke,by the collar, against the wall. Looking closely she could see the red bruise on Sasuke's face,even with his head down, and the fresh tears threatening to fall.
"Itachi stop" Sakura spoke stepping towards the two brothers. Itachi didn't pay Sakura any mind as his gaze stayed on Sasuke. "Itachi"
Huffing slightly Itachi unceremoniously dropped Sasuke onto the hard floor and stepping back. Sakura shook her head slightly as she walked past Itachi and kneeled in-front of Sasuke.
"Sasuke" Sakura spoke out as she reached out to touch his face when he smacked her hand away.
"Leave me alone"Sasuke muttered as he slowly got up to his feet and walked past Sakura and Itachi, not before brushed him rather roughly before walking out of the room. Rising up,Sakura looked back and watched as Itachi turned to leave when she reached out and grabbed him.
"Itachi, Don't let Sasuke beat himself up over this" Sakura spoke as he shrugged out of his grip and walking back towards their room. She stopped in the doorway before turning back towards him "Fix this" she uttered before slamming the door. Onyx eyes closed for a moment before opening again. After a minute of weighing his options, Itachi went looking for his brother and knowing Sasuke,He knew exactly where he was. Making the familiar hand-sign Itachi disappeared only to reappear on the roof.
"Get lost"
Itachi looked at Sasuke carefully before he walked over to Sasuke and sat, as the two brother looked up at the moon. The two stayed silent for a while until Itachi spoke up.
"She's beating herself up just as you are, She loved them as much as you and I"
Sasuke didn't bother to look in his brother's direction.
"You don't love anybody, You're incapable of love"
Itachi paused slightly before speaking "Then what do you call it,When I'm looking after you and Sakura's well-being"?
"You have a strong sense of nobility,that's all you have" Sasuke replied coldly. "You see things that are suppose to be right and you try to make that happen."
"You're wrong" Itachi spoke as he looked back up at the moon. "I'm not the sadist you and Sakura call me behind my back"
Sasuke didn't bother to speak
"Mistakes were made that night"
"Why can't you apologize like a normal person"
"We Uchiha's don't know how to apologize" Itachi spoke
And completely out of nowhere He reached over and poked Sasuke's forehead "Go to sleep" and with that Itachi disappeared.
Itachi reappeared in their room and stood there as he watched Sakura move slightly in the bed. Smirking inwardly Itachi slid into the bed and pulled Sakura close,placing a long hand over her stomach.
"Thank you" Sakura muttered as she snuggled into his warmth. Itachi placed a kiss on the top of her head before closing his eyes.
They had set out early that next morning, Knowing that it would of taken them half of that day to make it to a place,they would call home for a while. When they did arrive a small smile appeared on Sakura's face as she stared at the small and quaint house. This house is where Itachi and Sakura had spent their honeymoon and while they were only suppose to stay for three days they ended up staying for a week. Walking up the the door,Itachi pulled out a set of house keys and unlocked the door. Stepping aside Sakura walked into the house,followed by Sasuke and then Itachi. Her smiled seemed to have doubled as she stepped over the threshold.
"I'm sorry Sasuke but you might have to make due of the couch until we figure something out about your bedroom,seeing that we'll be here for a while."
Sasuke frowned as he walked in and sat on the somewhat comfortable couch,He then looked at Itachi and Sakura
Itachi shrugged as he grabbed the three bags and made it towards the back of the house,with a somewhat smiling Sakura following after him.
"Shouldn't we tell him,that we christened that couch too"
Sakura frowned "It's been cleaned"
Itachi smirked "Sasuke we christened that couch too"
"ITACHI"
They could hear things falling on the living-room floor when then the front door opening and closing roughly.
Itachi and Sakura entered into their bedroom,he promptly dropped the bags before turning his attention back to Sakura.
"You didn't have to say that to him" Sakura scolded
Itachi shrugged as placed a small kiss on her forehead,Wrapping her arms around his torso Itachi pulled her close. Sakura laughed at the memory, it amazed her that she didn't come back home pregnant after her and Itachi christened every room in the house, on their honeymoon.
"We'll have to expand this place if we'll be here for a while"Sakura muttered as she played with a strand of his hair. Itachi simply nodded.
Sakura stayed silent for a moment before speaking again "Itachi"
"Hm"
"Do you think things will ever go back to normal"
Itachi looked up at her "I'm not sure"
Sakura sighed softly
Four months had passed since they had arrived at the cottage and the renovations had been completely done when Sakura had noticed a significant change in Itachi's behavior. Itachi had been training a lot more with Sasuke and pushing him to his breaking points and every-time she would try to intervene He would simply look at her with a Stay out of it glare before resuming again with a battered Sasuke. They were all outside at the moment, Itachi training with Sasuke and Sakura was simply sitting under a tree reading a medical journal when she looked up and noticing that the sky was starting to darken. Placing a hand on her noticeable belly Sakura looked up at the two males who,stopped mid-strike and turned looked at her. Knowing who was coming Sakura quickly called Sasuke over,who helped the medic to her feet. Letting Sasuke help her into the house,Sakura glanced back to see Itachi looking off in a distance and in the blink of an eye He was gone.
"Where is Itachi going" Sasuke asked looking at her
"Going to check and make sure that the genjutsu around this place is still up." Sakura spoke as she looked out the window. Sasuke watched Sakura carefully before he left the living-room area and heading towards his bedroom. She watched and listened as lightening crackled across the sky. Deciding not to sit by the window and look for Itachi anymore,she began tidying up the already clean house. Soon the rain started softly before it became harder and harder. Sakura was halfway through with making dinner when Itachi came through the door,soaking wet. As much as she wanted to lecture him on staying out there so late,she decided to let it go. She watched silently as he slid out of his shoes and shirts before walking towards the back of the house. After a somewhat quiet dinner with Sasuke,They both bid each other a goodnight before turning in for the night. Walking into their bedroom,She saw Itachi sitting on the edge of the bed,staring blankly out the window. Just as she was about to say something to him, someone wanted to mess with their mommy's bladder and forgetting Itachi at the moment, Sakura went to relieve herself and once she came back out Itachi was still in that same spot staring out of the window.
"Itachi" Sakura called out softly as she walked over to his side. Giving her no answer she sat down next to him,focused some of her chakra into her hand, and did a quick sweep over Itachi's body,After finding nothing wrong with him she pulled her chakra back into her body and as she got up his hand shot up and grabbed her wrist,just a tad bit too hard and slowly pulled her back down.
"What's going on Itachi" Sakura asked as she looked over at him.
"Stay"
After they had gotten situated in the bed, and with Sakura laying on his chest and halfway asleep. Within several minutes a small trail of blood began to leak from his left eye as he effortlessly deactivated his sharingan.
"What's wrong with your eyes" Sakura muttered into his chest
Itachi remained silent as he wiped the blood away with the back of his hand.
Sakura pulled back from Itachi slightly and stared at him. "It's already started hasn't it"
Itachi nodded
"If your mangekyou sharingan is starting to activate then it means we have to start the process soon before you completely lose your eyesight"
Itachi nodded "I know,
"You have to explain it to him"
Itachi nodded again
"But how are you going to explain to Sasuke that you need his eyes"
Itachi shrugged
