"Good morning, sleepy head," came a sweet and gentle female voice.

Sakura, being too tired still, replied with a quick groan as she stretched.

"Do you ever sleep, Itachi?"

"Well, if I were Itachi, I would know, wouldn't I?" Sakura's eyes shot open at that.

She found herself gazing over at Itachi's bed and, instead of finding Itachi, she found the kunoichi next door, sitting on his bed.

She sat straight up.

"Konan! I'm so sorry, I thought you were…"

"It's okay, Sakura," she smiled, "it's not like you knew."

Her face slowly turned from one of shock to one of confusion.

"Wh… where's Itachi?"

Konan's smile grew.

"He's resting next door."

Sakura took that in the wrong way and rushed out of the room to the one she knew she would find Itachi in.

She reached the room within seconds and slammed the door open, coming across the sight of one Uchiha sitting straight up from fright. Sakura ran to him.

"Itachi!"she searched his body for anything that might be wrong.

He, on the other hand, was completely stunned.

"What happened?" she yelled at Konan who had raced after her, trying to stop her.

"Sa… Sakura?" Itachi eyes were wide and he had barely managed her name as he tried to come to terms with what was happening around him.

"Itachi," she looked directly in his eyes, "where are you hurt?"

"Hurt?" his confused voice turned towards Konan who just smiled at the scene.

"Yes! Where?" her voice was impatient.

"Sakura…" she snapped her head to the smiling woman that called to her. She was leaning against the door frame, trying to keep herself from bursting out in laughter.

Seeing the restraint Konan was clearly lacking, Sakura yelled, "there's nothing funny about this, Konan!"

It was then that Itachi burst out in laughter, shocking both Sakura and Konan.

Clearly, this must be some sort of Akatsuki in-joke.

Sakura stood from Itachi's side and stormed back to her own bedroom, only making the laughter increase as Konan joined in.

As the laughter died down, Itachi rubbed his eyes from the tears that had formed due to Sakura's actions.

"So…" he tried between the slight amount of laughter he tried to push away, "what just happened?"

Konan tried her hardest to stop laughing, but found she couldn't as she looked to Itachi once more, only forcing up for laughter.

"Konan," Itachi's voice was more serious as he stared the kunoichi down, helping drive the laughter away.

"She woke up with me there and when I told her you were in here resting, I assume she came to the conclusion that you had been hurt."

Itachi just smiled.

"Better go sort things out," he jumped out of the bed and made for the door, Konan slightly ahead of him.

"Uh… maybe I better do this alone," Konan understood from his nervous tone what he meant and let him be.

"You didn't mess up my sheets, did you?" she called after him.

He turned back, while still walking, to answer with, "not that I know of," then turned back on his path to his own room.


When she reached the bedroom, she slammed the door shut and let her body fall to her bed, lying so her back was facing away from the doorway.

There's nothing funny about this, just because I'm Akatsuki.

She paused in her thoughts for a moment.

Oh god! I'm jealous of the Akatsuki! I'm actually having jealous thoughts of those that are a part of the Akatsuki!

She covered her face with her hands.

What has my life come to?

She sighed.

The door slowly squeaked open and Sakura pulled her hands closer to her face, not wanting any part of it visible to the new person in her room, especially not after that joke they pulled on her.

"Sakura?" came Itachi's soothing voice.

"Go away, Itachi!" she said, monotonously, pulling her hands back down so he could clearly hear, but leaving her eyes tightly closed.

But he didn't. Instead, she heard him coming towards her.

"I said, 'go away'!"

He sat down beside her on the bed.

"This isn't you going away, this is the complete opposite."

"Sakura," he paused, gathering his thoughts, "I'm sorry about that. It's just…" he stopped, not knowing how exactly to go on.

"'It's just' what?" she gave up on not seeing him, sitting up straight to look him straight in the eye, only to be pushed back down by his hands against her shoulders.

"I… Itachi, what are you doing?" she tried to push against him, but he held firm.

"After seeing you last night," he paused, reliving the moment, "I couldn't find it in myself to be near you anymore."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

He drew himself closer to her, stopping beside her ear.

"It means 'I like it when you touch yourself for me,' Sakura."

Her voice was spoken in such a seductive tone, but Sakura was only thinking, Touch myself? For him? When? He's lying! I did no such thing! Not so he could see, anyway!

Then a thought occurred to her.

Oh god! Has he been watching me even in the bathroom! What kind of sicko is…

Her thoughts where interrupted when Itachi gently kissed her neck, forcing a moan out.

She felt him smile against her neck as he continued on a path down her neck.
