A/N: Hi, I just felt the urge to update now instead of waiting much longer, have fun, I'll meet you down there... ;P
"Honey I'm home!" Sakura yelled as soon as the busted into the huge house Itachi lived in with his family. She had decided that if she was going to have to go through with the torture of being in the same house as Sas-gay, as she had started to call him two hours earlier, then she'd be damn sure to act like she wanted to. That being said she was making it her mission to annoy the uptight, according to Itachi and Kisame who had been there a few times before, family as much as she could.
"Well this is a surprise." Itachi said having heard her and was coming down the huge stairs in the middle of the entrance hall. "You're actually on time for once, what gives?" He asked when he was standing in front of her. Sakura didn't answer as she was too busy starring at what the nineteen year old was wearing.
He had on a pair of black dress pants that were so straight that she had to wonder if he'd just gotten them from the store for the occasion. His dark blue button up shirt was almost as straight and he even had cufflinks in the shape of the Uchiha fan. Even Itachi's hair looked more fancy than usual and he was wearing it like he did everyday.
Looking down on herself Sakura felt, dare she say it, underdressed. She hadn't bothered to change her baggy army pants with hundreds of pockets she had wore to school. She had put on one of her nicer tops though, a black and red striped halter top with a grey sip-up hoodie over it and her board under her arm.
Finally looking the older boy up in the eye she smiled innocently. "Excuse me; I'm looking for your evil twin brother. The one that doesn't dress like he's expecting royalty for dinner, can you lead me to him?" She asked sounding way too polite even in her own ears as she placed the painted board down up against the wall next to the door.
"Oh very funny Sakura." The dark haired boy said looking away from her and crossing his arms in mock anger. Before the pinkette could say anything else an obnoxious voice was heard from the stairs.
"Couldn't keep away from me did you? Well it's not surprising really. So have you thought over my offer yet or are you still playing hard to get?" It was Sasuke, he was wearing the exact same thing as his older brother but the shirt was a couple of shades lighter.
"What offer?" Itachi asked looking down at his vise-captain forcing her to explain what the younger Uchiha was talking about. "That jerk has some kind of an illusion that I'll start dating him and that he'll be able to get me to come over to his team before the tournament." Sakura said glaring at said jerk with venom. He had become twice as bad after the concerts only two days ago, he had even gotten so far as to corner her in the park when she was messing around with Tenten, meaning the bun haired girl was using the pinkette as target practice.
"And you will come to me eventually; it's only a matter of time until I get what I want." Sasuke said being so bold as to actually place a hand on her cheek in an affectionate manner.
Before Sakura could bite the boys finger off Itachi pulled him away. "I'd appreciate it if you'd stop harassing my friend Sasuke. Next time I won't stop her from hurting you." He said making his younger brother scowl at him before smirking.
"Oh, am I to presume that you've already staked your claim on her?" There was a smug tone in his voice suggesting that he knew something he should not. Seeing the look on Sasuke's face, Sakura thought that maybe messing a bit with his head wouldn't be such a bad thing.
Slipping a hand around her team captains' waist she leaned her head on his upper arm. "So what if he has?" She asked satisfied when there was a stunned expression on the younger Uchiha's face. Itachi wasn't quite sure what she was planning but he had a pretty good idea anyway.
Looking down at her he said in a slightly warning and slightly asking voice. "Sakura..." It was enough for her plan to work as she interrupted him before he could say anything else. "It's alright Itachi, if fuck-face over here could figure it out then it was only a matter of time till your parents knew. You really should tell them." Her words held a double meaning and Itachi had to agree with her but still.
"Not yet." Was his answer as he gave her a kiss on the top of her head, something both of them considered brotherly but would be misinterpreted by Sasuke and anyone outside of the team. He then tuned to his younger brother with a slight smile. "I would appreciate it if you'd refrain from telling mother and father about this, I'm waiting for the right time." He said knowing that he had enough leverage over the boy that he wouldn't dare tell anyone anything.
"Hn." Was the only answer Sasuke gave them as he turned around walking away while sulking. When he was out of earshot Sakura stepped away looking up at the older Uchiha she respected so much. "You really should get around telling them. If you do I'll get you a hot blond date."
Itachi only stared down at her before shaking his head. "In a little over two months I'll turn twenty and then I'll be able to tell them without worrying about their reactions." He said as he started walking away from the pinkette making her follow him or else become horribly lost in the large building.
"Just out of curiosity, who were you planning on setting me up with?" He asked when they reached what seemed to be a library on the first floor that reached up three floors. When Sakura didn't answer he questioned further. "As far as I know you only know two blonds, Deidara and that Ino girl, and just so you know, I refuse dating either for different reasons." When he finished he was running his hand through his hair which was a clear sign of either stress or nervousness.
"Wow, I never thought you'd get so worked up over a date." Sakura stated in a voice close to awe. "How long since you went on one?" She then asked deciding to ignore his question for the time being. At Sakura's query Itachi looked away while picking up a random book and started to leaf through it.
"That's irrelevant, I was just curious as to who you were referring to." He said but was stopped from saying anything further as Tobi came running in screaming at the top of his lungs. "Tobi is sorry Kisame! Tobi will never do it again! Stop trying to kill Tobi!"
After the distressed mask wearing boy, came Kisame, and he looked ready to kill. When Tobi dived behind the pinkette she finally felt what it was like to be someone's human shield, and she didn't like it one bit. "What did you do to him Tobi?" She asked as she was slapping away the attacking hand of the blue haired male away from her and in turn Tobi.
"Tobi said that Kisame looked like sushi." Was the blunt answer that came from Deidara as he strolled inside looking around. "Your prick of a brother let us in, he seemed pissed off at seeing him, why's that?" The blond then asked pointing at the masked youth in wonder.
Itachi sighed while shaking his head. "Tobi is my cousin, let's just say that my family and his family don't see eye to eye." He explained to the surprise of everyone in the room. Their team captain, the calm, collected and rational team captain, and the nut job on the team were related?
"Was there some kind of a dress code you forgot to tell me about?" Sakura suddenly asked out of the blue after examining everyone's outfit. The three just joining them were all wearing shirts and plain dark pants and somehow they all looked more, well, clean.
"No not really, but I figured that since we're eating dinner with the Uchiha's…" Deidara trailed of getting nods from Kisame, who had cooled off now that he got the younger boy in a headlock, and said boy in the headlock.
"Dinner will be served in ten minutes!" A voice suddenly cut through the room startling everyone except Itachi who was used to the announcement every night. "Come on, time for my parents to meet you." The raven-haired youth said leading them all out of the room and down a long hallway towards what they could only guess was the dinning room.
"Just try to act at least a bit civil while here, I don't feel like listening to my father rant about my horrible choices in friends." Itachi ordered more than pleaded, Itachi Uchiha did not plead, as he looked over his shoulder at the four following him.
"Tobi is a good boy!" Tobi only said making Sakura giggle and Itachi lose all hope for the two to even try. "Your parents already hate my guts so it doesn't really matter." Was Kisame's answer with a shrug and that just left Deidara, but there was no hope there either as he wasn't even listening to the Uchiha male as he absentmindedly played with some clay.
"At least don't destroy anything." Was the last thing Itachi said as he pushed open the door to the dinning room where his family was waiting by the table. Seemed like Sakura didn't hear him as she raised her hand high up and exclaimed. "I'm not sitting next to the prick!" Loud enough for everybody to hear.
A/N: Yes, Tenten uses Sakura as a moving target, and yes she is throwing something sharp, preferably knives... Alright if somebody didn't notice then Itachi is gay, oh and Naruto too (last chapter) and also a few others that will be revealed in the future... It was bound to come up that Tobi is related to the Uchiha's, after all in the manga he is an Uchiha and I usually don't change family relations in my stories...
Next chapter, there will be a continuation from the dinner and the final plot piece will finally arive allong with some Gaara in the chapter after that, promise...
Hope you enjoyed reading, please tell me what you think... ;P
