Chapter 13 The real thing part 2...

"Illusion of Matsuro."

"What?"

"Illusion of Matsuro. That's the perfect name for this place!" Sakura grinned, and took a bite out of the strawberries from the basket.

"Illusion of Fate.. I like it... it does sound like the perfect name." Itachi commented, and stole a strawberry out of her hand, earning a glare from Sakura, who attempted to snatch it back, but almost got her fingers bitten off as he plopped it in his mouth.

"Cool, mini strawberry short cakes with vanilla frosting in the middle and a strawberry on top. Your sure like your strawberries don't you?" Sakura asked

"I don't like anything." Itachi crossed his arms stubbornly, and turned his attention to the sparkling forest, and stream around them.

"Nothing? Not even me?" Sakura started tearing up.

"I don't like anything... but there are exceptions for you." Itachi said

"Is that your way of saying yes I like you?" Sakura stuck her hand out the side of the boat, letting her fingers dance in the crystal clear cool water, and skip across lily pads.

"You could say that..." Itachi smiled at her, and wrapped his hand lightly around her wrist.

"Hm? What are you doing?" Sakura asked, as he stood up, and the boat came to a stop.

"It's the end of this river. We're moving on," Itachi replied simply, and led her across the water to the shore.

Everything became suddenly quiet between them. Not a awkward quietness, or the I don't want to talk to you quietness, just the quietness between them because no more words were truely necessary to express themselves, none but actions. Sakura entwined her slim creamy hand in his slightly tanner hand, and laid her head on his shoulder as they walked down a stone trail, listening to soothing wind chimes hanging from the trees, looking at the sparkling orbs of light lining the side walk, listening to crickets chirping happily, watching branches swaying in the wind, occasionally knocking off leaves and cherry blossoms onto the trail, and finally spotting a few mystical rainbows here and there scattered in the forest trees, appearing only when the sun shined on that peculiar spot. Occasionally golden glistened rainbow Japanese symbols or seals were spotted by Sakura on the trunks of trees, probably the things holding this place in it's own dimension.

"Thank you so much Itachi..." Sakura whispered, just loud enough for him to hear it.

"Anything for you Sakura," Itachi smiled and pulled her closer so he could kiss her fore head.

"Hey ummm Ita-kun?..." Sakura stopped in her tracks and turned Itachi to face her.

"Hm?" Itachi asked, looking down into his lovers beautiful eyes. (Notice he doesn't say HN around Sakura because he doesn't want to piss her off.)

"Catch me if you can!!" Sakura cried suddenly and poked him in the chest before running off as fast as she could, laughing wildly as he took off after her.

"Too easy." Itachi's voice came from all around her, but he was no where to be seen.

"Hey no fair! You can't just cheat like that and blend in with this place just because you made it! Sakura whined, and flopped to the ground refusing to get up until Itachi showed himself.

"Fine. Kill Joy." Itachi reappeared behind her, and reached out to tag her but she disappeared in a pink flash, appearing in the trees.

"Hehehe Minato-sama agreed to teach me his teleportation trick if I didn't go off telling Naruto that his father the 4th was still alive and was the akatsuki leader." Sakura chuckled, not feeling two blue eyes watching them turn kyuubi red with anger, filling up with tears.

"When did you two make this little deal and when did he teach you? I could have sworn I kept you pre occupied for the last couple of weeks with some personal training of my own..." Itachi jumped up onto the branch and made a grab for her, but she flipped off onto the ground and headed for a field of low flowers, at the other side was a stone dome, with morning glories entwined around the pillars, and the same gold seals on each pillar, plus there was a pretty swing in the center.

"I'm not always sleeping with you y'know that right?" Sakura laughed, and dodged another one of Itachi's attempts to grab her.

"Yeah but your still sleeping with me enough where you don't even have time to train." Itachi disappeared under the taller flowers, going completely silent.

"What can I say I'm a fast learner." Sakura looked around the flowers, careful not to get caught by Itachi.

"I know. Especially in bed," Itachi laughed handsomely at the blush spreading across her face.

"Stupid weasel!" Sakura hissed embarrassed, and tried throwing flowers at him, but of course they just went like 2 feet in the air and then fell to the ground, causing Itachi to laugh harder.

"Ok no more baby games. Now it's real tag. Boundaries the sky!" Sakura declared and took off towards the stone dome in a pink flash.

"The sky's the limit eh? This ought to be fun.. damn what has she reduced me to? Actually having fun." Itachi made off for her, landing swiftly on top of the stone dome, he watched attentively as she sat on the swing, and began swinging back and forth.

"What happened to tag?" Itachi pouted as he landed behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist so she couldn't escape.

"I want to swing." Sakura turned her head around to face him, and pecked him on the lips.

"Whatever you want Cherry Blossom," Itachi smiled, and let go of her so he could push her lightly on the swing.

"That's it Sasgay! I can't take this anymore! He's going down!!"

Sakura gasped as dozens of kunai's slashed right through the ropes of the swing, cutting it. A blur of onyx landed behind her, and clashes of metal sounded along with Sasuke's angry cries.

"Itachi!!" Sakura yelled as she fell from the swing, a blur of yellow caught her, and took off into the woods.

Sakura!!

Damn it! Way to go Sas-gay and Naruto! You ruined the perfect date damn it! Now you leave me no choice. you pick. Either I can kill both of you off in the next chapter for ruining their date and not waiting until it was over, or I can twist and turn Itachi and Sakura's fate and make it so in the next chapter, there will be the very detailed Lemon. And in the chapter after that, find out what happens when Itachi and Sakura leave the rest of the Akatsuki in the base all alone, with nothing to do, all alone with fish... 0.0

You decide fans... of course I'm pretty damn sure what everyone is going to pick already so this vote is really useless. But I need to buy some time so review and vote! Type in 1 in the review to kill off Sasuke and Naruto gruesomely, or type in 2 for the detailed lemon and then finding out what happens when Itachi and Sakura get back and see what leaving the akatsuki all alone in the base does. 0.0 Just the thought of what I'm going to write in that chapter scares me... shudders so scary I'm not even sure I want to write that chapter. But it's up to you fans. So I'm changing the vote a bit to 3 way. Type in 1 to kill of Sasuke and Naruto in a very gruesome death. Type in 2 for me to twist and turn Itachi and Sakura's fate for the very detailed lemon. Type in 3 for the very very very scary chapter of what the Akatsuki did while Sakura and Itachi is gone. Type in 4 for all of the above!! Or type in 2 numbers if you want those specific two. Sorry I took so long to update! Hope I'm not the worlds most wanted woman now, and not in a good way.
