Chapter Seven: Mixed Emotions.
SAKURA POV
It was the end of school, and I knew that Ino was waiting for me at the lockers to get all the juicy details about Itachi and me.
I caught site of her holding a hand to her mouth giggling away as she stared at me, and I found my cheeks turning a light shade of pink.
"So… anything interesting happen?" Ino asked, leaning against her locker as I opened mine up and placed my books inside.
"Nothing really…" I mumbled, shutting my locker.
Ino narrowed her eyes as she looked at me, "Don't you dare lie to me, billboard brow." Ino grouched, poking my head before pulled a blade of grass from my hair with a menacing grin and I gulped.
Ino slung her arm around mine, "You can tell me what you're hiding on the way back to your house." She smiled a sickly sweet smile as she pulled me towards the exit.
Flashback
Itachi turned and looked at my hand holding his arm before at me before he locked his eyes onto mine, "Are you sure?" he asked.
I smiled at him and slid my hand down and back into his, "Of course." I said softly, seeing a spark of light in his dark onyx coloured eyes, and on this occasion a hint of deep crimson.
Itachi and I walked to the far end of the school and sat on the freshly cut green grass, leaning against the black metal fence. We hadn't said a word since we started walking again, but the silence wasn't so bad. Itachi had started to play with my fingers as we walked, holding, interlacing, fiddling with them and caressing the back of my hand, but as soon as we sat down he started tracing circles in the palm of my hand. "How is it that my pesky little brother was too blind to see such beauty…?"
I made an 'hmm' noise, and watched his long slender fingers ran from my hand to the underside of my forearm, sending quick jolts of shivers up my arm and down my spine. "I wasn't good enough."
Itachi shook his head slowly and turned to face me, "No, he was obnoxious, clueless… disdainful."
My breathing hitched and became slightly uneven when we made eye contact, now Itachi moved his hand to softly caress my cheek and jawbone, his dark mysterious eyes searching mine before he slowly began to inch in closer towards me… giving me enough time to pull back if I wanted to, but my muscles tightened and I found myself motionless for a brief moment, before his lips gently touched mine, gliding across them as he moved closer and held my face gently, beginning to deepen the kiss.
His lips were electric, and made my body shudder with delight; my lips lightly trembled against his before I began to return the kiss, slowly at first before I matched his deepness and passion.
It felt like a lifetime that his lips were on mine, and that the world had suddenly stopped moving, I found myself lost in the moment of the slow passionate kiss. I could hear my heart beating a little faster as he slowly laid me back on the grass, his fingers running along my neck and collar bone before playing with the ends of my pink hair.
Itachi pulled back slowly and gazed into my eyes as I tried to catch my breath. I looked up at him, and could see the emotion flooding in his eyes before a sudden image of Sasuke flashed into my mind; the two were brothers... and looked so much alike. He began to lean in again but I quickly moved out from under him just as the bell rang, "Got to go!" I said quickly, short of breath still as I quickly hurried to class, leaving Itachi sitting on the grass dumbstruck.
End Flashback
"You what?!" Ino yelled as we turned onto my street, I had told her about the whole event, including the part where I had ran away because of the thought of Sasuke. It still hurt me to think about Sasuke's rejection, and bitterness, "You should have totally done him- screw Sasuke." Ino said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"What?" I said loudly, eyes wide.
"Well, I didn't mean to screw Sasuke literally, I meant his brother, Itachi... literally!" Ino stated like this wasn't a big deal at all.
I stared at her for a while, "I can't do that Ino…"
"Sure you can! It's easy!" She looked at me and placed her hands on my shoulder, "Well, after the first few times." She winked.
I felt myself pale, I knew Ino and Sai got close, but I didn't know they had gotten that close.
Suddenly I was dragged out of my thoughts, "Hey Sakura… Isn't that Deidara slumped in your gutter?" Ino's voice whispered.
I looked up and towards my house, and there I saw long blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail just like Ino's, sitting in my driveway. "It is…" I said, suddenly feeling like I was kicked in the stomach. Itachi had told me earlier today that Hidan was messing with me, and tricked me into thinking Deidara was using me… and then I had gone straight ahead and kissed Itachi anyway… after just yesterday kissing Deidara.
"Why is he here?" Ino asked, staring at him as he looked our way and slowly stood up as we edged closer to my house.
"Ino uh, could you just go inside for a while so I can talk to him… It's kind of important." I murmured.
"Talk?" Ino stared at me, knowing that I was very well hiding something from her, she narrowed her eyes, "You better tell me what's going on when you get back, and you better not be gone any longer than 30 minutes!" She shouted at me before she took hold of my key, unlocked my door and walked into my house.
I looked over at Deidara as he came closer to me, "We need to talk, I know." I mumbled.
Deidara nodded, and distracted himself by rubbing his hands together as he looked up at me, "Yup."
So how was that?
More too come soon. (:
