Chapter 10
Itachi was waiting for her, she wanted to tell him something. He had his hair left open and his feet dipped in the cool river. He enjoyed the wind rustling through his hair. He looked to the horizon to watch the sun set. It was a beauty. Everything was perfect. "Itachi Kun." He heard her voice, so sweet, so innocent, so angelic. He turned to see her standing near the opening to their special place. She was wearing a beautiful white dress, her hair left opened. She looked like an Angel straight out of heaven. He smiled at her and stood up, she smiled back and started to walk towards him. They were face to face. Neither one of them saying anything to each other but enjoying each others presence. Itachi stroked her cheek gently, she placed her hand on his cheek. They stared into each others eyes, not saying anything. Minutes passed by with them standing still together, Itachi pulled her closer to him, holding her close to his chest. "I can hear your heart beat." She spoke. "It beats for you." He replied back.
"Itachi kun, I'm in love with you." Itachi was taken by surprise, he looked at her and smiled. "Do you really mean that?" he asked through his shock. "I've been in love with you for a very long time, I just didn't know how to tell you." Itachi smiled at her and pulled her for another hug. "Oh I have waited to hear you say that to me. I'm in love with you too." They looked at each other and she moved closer to him, taking his chance he raised her face and kissed her luscious lips.
Itachi woke up. He was surprised. He looked around to realise it was all but a dream. He held his head in his hand and laughed. He knew it, he loved her but didn't know how to tell her. He loved her since the day he saw her. She was perfect and right. He laid back down on his bed and shut his eyes until he drifted back to sleep.
Sakura stood in the river, looking up at the sky, her hair left lose and flying with the wind. She took in a deep breath of fresh air and smiled. This was perfect. Everything was perfect. There was nothing that could ruin her life now. Her past was well hidden and left behind. She felt the sun warming her skin, she enjoyed the feeling. The birds above chirping away and singing in melodies. Sakura let the wind kiss her neck gently leaving goose bumps where it touched her.
"You're beautiful." Sakura turned around to see him standing behind her. She smiled at him. "Thank you. How long have you been standing there?" He smiled at her. "I've been here for a while. Was taken away by your beauty." Sakura blushed at his comment and turned away from him. He walked up to her, placing his arm on her waist and pulled her closer. "You truly are a beauty Sakura." he whispered in her ear, making her body shiver. Her breathing got heavier and faster and he noticed this. He moved her hair from her neck and kissed it gently sending more shivers through her body. He turned her to face him and looked into her beautiful jade eyes. "Sakura, since the day I saw you I fell in love with you. I just never knew how to tell you anything. But today, I love you and forever I shall." Sakura was surprised and shocked. She didn't know what to say to him. "I…I Love you too." Was all she managed to say to him.
They were in each others arms for a long time. She looked at him and kissed his cheek. He smiled at her. He put his hand on her chin and lifted her face bringing his closer to hers. Their noses touching and their lips centimetres apart. Not wasting another second he kissed her lips. Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer into the kiss.
Sakura woke up sweating. What was she dreaming about and why? What did it mean? She wasn't sure whether she did love him or not or whether it was just the feeling that he gave her, because he filled in her heart from all the pain she received from Sasuke? She sat up thinking about this and tried to figure things out. She didn't realise when she had drifted off to sleep.
