"Where will I sleep?" Sasame asked Itachi while stood at his room's door.
Itachi opened the door and stared at her. "With me. Come."
Sasame stunned as he pulled her into the room. "Wait. I've married. I won't betray my husband and sleep with you." she pulled away her hand and folded it front of her chest.
"Did you know that someone is hunting you? We have to guard you 24 hours." Sasame stared at him with disbelieve. "Or you'll get killed."
Sasame swallowed her saliva. Itachi sensed that she already understand his meaning, so he closed the door. "Go get a bath. Your clothes in the closet." he stated while sat himself on the couch opposite his bed and started his reading.
Sasame walked into the bathroom without locking the door. She took off her gown and stared at the mirror. She stroked her stomach softly. "Baby, I can't wait until you born. I promise I'll protect you every time. You are our love. Too san's and kaa san's love." after mumbled to herself, she opened the pipe of the tub and waited for the warm water filled it. She hummed a song as she steps into the warm water.
"How is she?" he sounded softly in the phone.
"She's pregnant." Itachi voiced after few minutes while observed his documents.
"Such a rush, doesn't he?" the man chuckled darkly. "I trust that you know how to handle the rest." he hangs up the phone.
Itachi sighed as he placed his phone on the table. He turned towards Sasame at the bathroom door. Through her damp hair and her small body wrapped with towel, he assumed that she already bath. She stared at him with the questioning stare. "What?"
"Is that Mada kun?" she asked while walked towards the closet. She opened it and took out one of her black sleeping gown. Then, she walked back into the bathroom.
"Yes." he stated while put the documents into his briefcase. As she walked out of the bathroom, he can't help himself to glance her creamy thigh. Her gown reached only at her mid thigh.
"What he said?" she settled herself in the soft mattress and sensed that he eyed her. "What are you looking at?"
"He asked about you." Itachi took off his shirt and revealed his muscular stomach. Sasame gulped nervously she eyed his beautiful body. Itachi detected that she also eyed him. "What are you looking at?" She quickly look away and lay down. Sakura, how long you can avoid me? He smirked to himself as he walked towards the bathroom.
"Bwahahahaha!" Itachi jotted out from his bed as he heard someone was laughing loudly. Quickly, he steps out of his room and found out that only him in the room. Where is she? He walked towards Kisame's room and open the door. He smirked as he saw Sasame poked Kisame's abdomen, she giggled cheerfully. "Sasame."
She quickly move away from Kisame as Itachi called her name. "Itachi san, I swear I don't do anything." she bits her bottom lips nervously while acting innocent.
Itachi pretends he was serious as he hide his smirk. He walked towards the drunk slept Kisame. "Kisame, wake up." as Kisame keep snoring, he getting annoyed. "Sasame had threw away your sakes."
Kisame quickly woke up. "What? Ohh my wife. You died horribly." he cried while hugs Itachi. Without sensing the twitching Itachi, Sasame laughed at the scene.
"Kisame, let go." Itachi continued twitching.
Kisame quickly let go as his rationality awake. "I'm sorry. But why both of you in my room? It's only 6 a.m.." he glanced at his wall clock while clutched his aching head.
"I'm catching my cat. She ran into your room just now." Itachi smirked as he stared at the blushing Sasame. "And I found her when she play with fish."
"Oh. You said that Sasame threw all my sakes?" Kisame glared at her. She quickly shakes her head.
"I did that because you laughed loudly." He walked towards the door and glanced back at her. "Come." she obeyed him as they walked out of the room.
"I'm laughed? When? Wait, Itachi don't have cat." Kisame mumbled to himself while scratching his head.
Everyday, she is guarded by one of them, Itachi or Kisame. She had told them not to do so but they gave her reason that it's for her safety. She always cursed the person who hunted her and pulled her in the 'misery hole'. She preferred Itachi to guard her than Kisame, because if Kisame in-charge, something bad will happened.
Ring! Ring! Itachi's phone rang loudly when he's still in a meeting. He don't put Kisame's number in block list as all his call is important. After gave excuses to the staff, Itachi walked out of the meeting room. "What?"
"This is bad. I'm at hospital now. Sasame in trouble." Kisame sounded panicked in the phone.
"I'll go there. Orochimaru's right?" after received his confirmation, Itachi stormed out of the department.
"What happened?" Itachi asked while ran towards an anxious-ed Kisame. Before Kisame can explain, the diagnosis's room opened and revealed a chuckled Orochimaru.
"I guess you need to lock the refrigerator after this." he continued chuckle.
"What?" Kisame asked with questioning stare.
"She ate a lot of stuff until she can't afford it."
"But I thought that she's in pain. She moaned and clutched her stomach." Kisame explained seriously.
"No wonder the foods in refrigerator gone when it's morning." Itachi said while touched his chin.
Orochimaru grinned at them. "I've help her cure the pain. She's asleep now. And I have a question." Both of them looked at him. "Who is the father?"
"Umm..." she moaned as she enjoyed the warm feeling that surrounded her. She tried to lean in to get more warm but stunt as the source moving. She quickly opened her eyes and meet a pair of onyx eyes. She gasped as she saw her hands hugs his waist and she is laying on top of him with stomach meet together on a couch. She felt her face burn hardly. Damn the stupid hormone.
"Good sleep?" Itachi asked while stared at the emerald eyes. She quickly let go her hands but gasped again as Itachi pulled her into his warm embrace. She blushed harder as she can feel his heartbeat. "Don't ever do that again." he whispered in her hair.
"Huh?" she lowered her voice as she waited him to reprimand her.
"Don't make me worried about you." he kissed her forehead.
She stunted at his reaction. He don't angry at me? "Itachi san, I'm sorry. I just too hungry."
Itachi smirked. "I know. But you have to control it, or you'll become an elephant." he chuckled as she panicked. "You have to ask me when you want to eat. I can prepare some food for you."
"What if it's midnight?" she closed her eyes as he stroked her back softly.
"I'll take care of it. Now, sleep. I know you tired." he watched her as she drifted into her dreamland. "Because I love you, Sakura." he whispered as he kissed her head.
"Itachi san?" Sasame asked as they laid together on the mattress. It's already weeks since she sent to hospital for her overeat problem.
"What do you want to eat?" Itachi turned to face the closed eyes woman. Almost every night, he woke up and prepared some food to her. In those period, he never complained, because he told her that it's his job to ensure her health and always protected.
Sasame slowly opened her eyes and stared at onyx. "Can you make me sushi?" she smiled as Itachi walked out from the bed without any sigh, she quickly followed him. As they nearly reached the kitchen's door, she knocked with Kisame who just walked out of kitchen. Itachi quickly grasped her as she nearly hit the floor.
"Sasame, I'm sorry. I don't see you." he grins at the frowned woman. "What are you doing here?"
After steady herself in Itachi's grip, she stared at Kisame with smirk. "I want to eat something, and Itachi san will help me make it. Do you want to join us?" After received stared from the said man, she giggled. "I want to eat sushi. And I have a huge fish meat here."
Kisame quickly ran away upstairs with panic. "Don't eat me!"
"Ne, Itachi san?" she eyed Itachi while ate her sushi. Every time after he prepared her food, he will just wait for her and staring at her. She had asked him why he kept staring at her, he said that the way she eating is sexy which cause her blushed hardly. As now.
"Hn?" Itachi smirked as she swallows her food and bite her bottom lips. She amused him whenever she blushed.
Sasame nervous as she stared at his eyes, she felt like she can't breathe and her heart stops beating. As she opened her mouth to ask him, only stuttered statement can be heard. "I-Ita-ch-chi s-an, wh-why-" she stopped herself as Itachi chuckled lowly. She felt want to jump into a river at that moment. What happened to me? Why is he affected me so much? Oh my god, I'm felt like a stupid.
Itachi continued chuckle as he eyed the woman deep in her thought. He reached out his fingers and poked her forehead like what he did to Sasuke when they small. "Just say it, Sa-sa-me chan."
She clamped her eyes shut as she saw his fingers reached out towards her forehead and squeak when small amount of pain flowed through the skin. She frowned. "Itachi san, its hurt." she mumbled as she rubbed her painful forehead with a pout on her mouth, but her eyes narrowed at his reaction. How can't she surprised as a man make an intimate reaction when she had a husband. It is not right. Not right at all. She quickly pushed him away and tried to hide her blush. "Itachi san, please don't do this."
He could sense the surprise and anger in her tone. "Why?" he tried to control his uneasy feeling. Never in his life, his pride and ego defeated by a woman, with a single push, and a single statement.
"This is all wrong, Itachi san. Please understand that I'm taken and I have a husband who-"
"He is not!" Itachi hissed as he stood quickly from the chair which fall down with a thud. "You are a fool because trusting a mad man!" he stop as he watched her bite her bottom lips to hide her sobs. Her cheek wet with her tears and she stared at the table, unable to accept the sudden burst of angry from the one who she liked and trusted the most. "I'm sorry, I'm just..." unable to watch her sadness, he walked away towards his room.
Kisame sat on his bed as he gulped his wife, sake. After heard knocks at the door, he opened it. "Aree, Sasame chan. Why are you crying? Who bullied you? I'll kick his ass." he led her into the room.
"Can I stay at your room?" she managed while sat at his soft mattress.
"Huh? Why? Did something happened?" he pulled his chair and sat in front of her. He handed her tissue. "Itachi is the main reason right? Sasame chan, just don't bother with his sudden changed mood, he just too tired." Sasame nodded at him as his guess is correct. He gulped a large mouth of sake, before he talked again. "You know, he is changed after the incident." she can sense his pale white eyes darkened slightly as something passed through his mind, memory.
"Incident?"
"Ehm. A girl, changed his personality. Since she disappeared, he showed his emotions, more than usual." Kisame gulped his sake again. "She is so beautiful, cheerful, and cute. Pink hair, just like you." he petted her head with a sad grins.
"Is she his girlfriend? What is her name?" Sasame asked with a little smile.
Kisame laughed. "No. She is our friend's sister, Sakura."
"Such a cute name. Then, how she disappeared?"
"You know, she had wanted to commit suicide. I'm the one, who stand not more than 20 feet from her, just stared at her when a lorry knocked her down." Kisame stops as he opened a new bottle of sake and began to drink again. "She smiled at me. Like she wanted it to be. She wanted to die."
"Why did she wanted to kill herself?" she eyed his face.
Kisame just merely stared at her before he drank his sake again. "Her brother died in an accident. She's coma for months and disappeared not long after she awake. After that, Itachi seems depressed. You know what I mean."
"Itachi san like her, right?" she asked Kisame after he finished his sake.
"I guess so." Kisame stands up and walked towards the door. "I'll sleep at the living room. You'll sleep here. Good night, Sasame chan."
"Thank you, Kisame san." she settled herself on the mattress after Kisame closed the door.
You liked her, Itachi. Kisame grins to himself as he walked downstairs.
"Kisame." Itachi shakes Kisame's shoulder. "Wake up."
"Hurm. Still early. Don't disturb me. I want to sleep." he mumbled and shooed Itachi.
"Where is she?" Itachi said while tied his tie.
"Uhmm, she is gone." still, he answered with closed eyes. "She's in hospital."
Itachi narrowed his eyes. "Hn."
In a quick flash, Kisame's rationality came back. "Owhh. Sorry. She's in my room." Kisame sat himself while rub his aching back. "What have you done to her. I mean, she's cried yesterday."
"Nothing. I have a meeting with Kankuro today. You in-charged, and don't disturb me." Itachi reached his briefcase and walked towards the door but just merely stood as Kisame called him.
"Itachi, don't you think that she had to know about her family. I mean we introduced her to Orochimaru."
"Do what you should." Itachi steps out towards his car.
"Kisame san, can I ask you something?" Sasame walked towards Kisame who was reading his report at the living room. Orochimaru and his family just returned home minutes ago with a not-so-good ending. At first, after Kisame invited them into the house, Sasame hides behind Kisame when Orochimaru laughed. The first thought that Sasame made, he is an old, horrible, and terrible snake man. With his hoarse voice, laughing even make it sound creepy than his chuckles. And at the end, Anko gave some 'snake soup' that her brought which cause Sasame to vomit immediately, and poor Orochimaru got a punch at his stomach from his beloved wife.
"Why don't you go to work and leave me alone at the house? I mean, until now, nothing happened to me except your made mischief." she grins at the said man while sat in couch front of him. "And your house is safe."
"Nope. You will fell safer by person side, rather than a safe place." he petted her head childishly. Sasame can feel something warm in her heart, like she is welcomed although she caused their much trouble.
"Whoa, you picked the right statement." she giggled.
"Nah, I learnt it from someone." he rub his un-aching head with a smile. Itachi, you've saved my life.
Ding Dong!
"Wait." Sasame ran towards the closed glass door. Kisame had asked her to join them in the early morning for shopping, but she said she tired and wanted to rest. But actually, she wanted to keep herself away from Itachi, if she went along with them, she had to deal with his meaningful stares. So, she had asked for Kisame to help her to 'separate' Itachi from her. "Hello, what can I help you?" she asked as she opened the door and revealed a spiky raven haired man.
At first, the man stared at her with a large eyes like he just seen a ghost. "So, it is true that you are here, Sakura."
Sasame just stared blankly at him. Geez, what happened here? Why did they always call me Sakura? I'm Sasame, for Kami's sake. "Eh, I think you have mistaken, Mister. I'm not Sakura." she frowned and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Yes, you are." Sasuke hugs her tightly, and whispered in her ear. "I miss you. I'm sorry that I leave you last time. Now, I have realized that I love you, Sakura. I promise I'll never leave you again."
"Please, let me go. You're hurting me." she managed in his embrace while pushing him away.
"Sakura." he took her hands softly. "Please forgive me. Come back to me. I need you."
"Mister, you have mistaken. I'm not Sakura. I'm Sasame and I already married. I have pregnant-" Sasame said as polite as she can.
"I don't care. I can become the father for your baby. But please, come back to me."
"She won't go with you." Itachi sounded with his killing glares towards his Otouto. Sasame quickly pulled her hands away from the younger Uchiha and ran towards Itachi's side and clutched his right arm without she sensed it.
"And why are you too confident, Itachi?" Sasuke smirked at him. "Don't you forget what had you done to her, that day?"
Kisame quickly gave his questioning stares towards Itachi, but Itachi ignored it. "Mind your own business."
"Huh? It seems they don't know yet." Sasuke chuckled darkly. "How pathetic is that ,huh, Itachi. I won't give up so early, she is mine." he glanced at her and walked away.
After Sasuke gone, Itachi stared at Sasame, she ripped her gaze away from Sasuke and meet onyx eyes. "Huh?" without warning, she asked him. Then, she quickly shut her mouth. I've swore I won't talk to him. But she can't stand it anymore as his eyes landed exactly on her face. Before she can ask, his eyes moved towards his arm, she followed. Immediately, she felt ashamed as she found out that she still clutched his arm tightly. She let go his arm and walked towards Kisame to help him carrying the stuff. Without she sensed, Itachi smirked to himself, he don't know why but he enjoyed her touch.
After they had dinner, they sat at the living room to relax. As usual, Sasame sat with Kisame while Itachi at the opposite side. She tried to take a glanced at Itachi but surprised that he also staring at her. She kept herself from blushed. "Ne Kisame san, who is the man?" she asked and stared fully at Kisame's face.
"Uhm, he is Itachi's brother, Sasuke. Why? Did he hurt you? So lucky that we made it at the time, if not, thing will get worse." Kisame grins.
"Ow. He keeps calling me Sakura. I hate him. You know, he hugs me." she managed with an interesting face, without sensing a twitching eyebrow from the Uchiha.
"He does? I'll kick his ass next time." Kisame laughed. Kisame sensed a hint of jealous from Itachi, but he ignored it. "Sasame chan, do you want to go to Amuse park tomorrow? You need to exercise, you know." Kisame poked her stomach which caused her smacked his head.
"Baka. But before that, I want to scan my baby. Can I?" she eyed Kisame with her puppy eyes while stroking her stomach lovingly. Kisame just nodded as he defeated by her puppy eyes.
"Hurm... So shinny." Kisame closed her eyes with his hands while laughed. She also giggled.
"Geez, Kisame san, I hate you." Sasame mumbled with a pout and frowned face. Kisame just smiled sadly at her while ruffling her head.
"Gomen, just now my staff called me. There got a case to investigate. Since we had an appointment with the doctor, you have to go." Kisame pointing at Itachi who already sat in the car. He felt so grateful that Itachi don't complaining so much when he asked him to be her driver and companion for the whole day, he could see a -victory or satisfied- smirk from the Uchiha. Through her glare, he knew that he will be listed in her 'enemy' list later.
Sasame just can pout and sigh as she walked towards Itachi's car. Kisame just stood at the gate as he watched the car drove away.
Both of them just kept silent all the journey. She clutched the edge of her gown as she kept her sigh. Kisame san, I'm gonna kick your ass for letting me endure this shit, damn thing. Hmph! She is nearly undergo second trimester of pregnancy, which meant her mood swing will occur more frequently. Without she sensed, she spoke to herself. "Bastard." Quickly she shut her mouth with her hands, hoping Itachi didn't caught what she had said. Unfortunately for her, Itachi's ears were sharp.
"You hate me so much." it's a statement rather than question. Slowly, she lifted her eyes towards Itachi, emerald meets onyx. She could see a hint of depressed and hurt in his eyes, which caused her felt guilty. Since that night, although she angered at him, he never stops taking care of her. As always, he prepared her some food every night. He never abandoned her and the promise. She still remembered a night before, he woke up to cook noodles for her although he got high fever. She almost cried as she hides at the living room while watching him struggled with his headache.
"Itachi san, I'm-"
"It's alright." He focused back at the road again and his expression returned to the blank and cold mask. Sasame slapped her face in her mind. What am I thinking? I should forgive him, right? Her thought was cut off as Itachi called her. "There is the clinic." he reached his wallet and took out some money.
"What?" she asked as he gave her the money.
"This is for the fee. I got some business to do." he eyed his watch for a minute. "I'm gonna fetch you half an hour later." he said without glanced her.
She quickly steps out the car but looked back to Itachi again. "I'll wait for you." she closed the door and watched his car drove away before she entered the clinic.
It's nearly an hour, but still, Itachi haven't come. She sat at the nearest bench to relax herself. The main problem now was her growling stomach. She haven't breakfast, and it's nearly lunch time. "Geez, where is he?" suddenly, she smelled something delicious, so she followed the smell. "I'll go for some minutes. I guess he can wait." At last, she reached a hot-dog stand. She bought some of it with the left money and sat again at a bench while enjoyed her meal. After she finished it, a worried flashed into her though. Where is the path? She was lost.
Itachi stops his car at the front of the clinic and quickly steps out. He looked around to find a flash of pink but there is no pink colour at all. It's impossible for her still checking up since he already late. He ran into the clinic and asked the receptionist, but she said Sasame already finished the procedure minutes ago. Nervously, he ran out and asked the civilian, but their answer only one, no. He ran more further. Sakura, where are you?
Sasame stood in a unfamiliar park. The more she walked, the more she lost. She don't even know how to contact Kisame or Itachi since she don't know their phone number, and the worst, she finished the money Itachi gave. So, she decided to rest at the park to ease her aching legs because she walked and stood too long. Itachi san, I'm scared.
Sakura, where are you? Itachi don't know how long had he ran to search. His worried help him to forget his aching legs. He calmed himself as he reached for his ringing phone. "Itachi speak."
"Itachi, where are both of you? It's nearly 5 p.m.. I guest that you don't need the whole day to play, right?" Kisame asked teasingly.
"She is gone. I lost her this afternoon. She is gone, Kisame. Damn it!" Itachi cursed to himself for his careless.
"Ok... Ok... Calm, Itachi. Tell me where you are. I'll go there to find her." Itachi quickly told him and continued the search.
Sasame woke up quickly as she felt someone was shaking her shoulder hardly. She had fallen asleep after she sat at the bench because of exhausted. She eyed four teenagers staring at her with a hungry eyes, which she don't like the looks at all. "Nee chan, it's dangerous to slept at here. It's nearly night, not good for a pregnant woman." One of them said while caressing her cheek.
"Stop it, you freak!" she pushed his hand and stood up. Her hands wrapped protectively on her belly. "Don't harm my baby!"
"Woow... so fierce. But I like it." they laughed. "They said a fierce woman liked rough when in bed." the boy grins. "And, there is no one at here now. We can enjoyed, without being disturbed." they walked towards her.
"Help me!"
Itachi suddenly felt shocked in his mind like he heard someone screamed in his mind. What is that?
"Anybody, help me!" she ran away from the boys while screamed. But at the end, she meet an end road. One of the boys hugs her roughly and licked her neck. "Yamete kunasai!" she cried in her scream. "Itachi san, tatsukete!" she knew that it's pointless to scream for his name at the time. Suddenly she felt the boy was pulled away from her, then screams echoed in the end street. She saw a man fought with the teenagers, and she fall to her knees as she sobs hardly. After some minutes, the defeated boys ran away in pain. The hero slowly walked towards her and handed her a handkerchief.
"Are you hurt, Sakura?" the man asked. She stunned as the man called her Sakura. There only a man who would calling her with the name.
"Sasuke san?" she managed while tried to stand up but failed. Her knees gave out, as it's shaking hardly. She blushed hardly as he lifted her up in bridal style, she can feel his warmth from his chest. He walked towards his car while ignored her stares at his face. "Aligato." she whispered which answered by Sasuke with his 'hn'. Uchiha dialog. She sigh softly and asleep as the day was too hard for her.
Itachi and Kisame quickly droves home after the younger Uchiha called them and tell that he brought her back. After a while, both of them stormed into the living room. Itachi quickly glared at Sasuke, after eyed the asleep Sasame on the couch. "How can you enter my house?"
"Itachi, your house have maid. Is that a humor?" he chuckled. "It seems that you've lost your mind." Itachi continued his glares. "I'm going home. If I don't visit my friend, I wonder who will saved her?" Sasuke stops himself at the door, and glanced back. "She still shout out your name when they tried to rape her. Pathetic."
Itachi felt guilt as he walked towards the sleeping woman. Slowly, he caressed her cheek softly. "Gomen." she opened her eyes slowly and stared at Itachi with a betrayed glares. She just kept silent as she stood up and walked away to Kisame's room.
"I'll check if she is ok." Kisame followed her. After a while, Kisame returned with a blacken right eye. Itachi arched his brow questioning. "Mood swing." Itachi only 'hn' ed and then buried himself into his though.
A/N : Teehee, it's moving on. Sakura is a loyal wife, but her loyalty lay on the wrong man. Why Itachi still don't take any action? It's still early to twitch her mind, right? So, stay tuned to know what will Madara do to take her back and I have a secret to tell you all, this story still got long way to go. Lol. And again, sorry for the poor English. I am thankful if you all review it and let me know what are on your mind.
