Chapter 13: Noon

I'm hoping to make this chapter as long as the last one maybe even longer. Moving on with the story now. ItaSaku Fluff Naruto Isn't Mine T-T

Sakura was looking forward to having some time alone with Itachi, after what happened with Sasuke. She wasn't going to tell Itachi, not yet anyway; she didn't want Sasuke to ruin their last three hours together before Itachi set off on his mission. She knocked on Itachi's door lightly and waited for an answer.

"Come in"

She opened the door to see a magnificent sight, the curtains were closed keeping any daylight from coming into the room; there was candles lit everywhere. She noticed Itachi had changed the bed sheets; they were silk sheets that were the most beautiful shade or crimson red.

"Itachi this is…amazing. How did you do all this?"

"Diedara helped, forcefully"

Sakura walked into the room closing the door behind her, still amazed by just the way the room looked.

"I have a present for you"

"You didn't have to, I haven't got you anything"

"Of course I didn't have to…I wanted to. I don't want anything from you Sakura"

She gleamed as Itachi pulled out a large black box with a crimson red bow, passing it to her he just smirked.

"Here, go and change in the bathroom"

"Thanks"

She said as she gave him a peck on the cheek. It's good that he said she could change in the bathroom; she was still all sweaty from training.

"Do you mind if I have a quick shower? I'm a bit dirty from training"

"Sure. Take your time"

This meant Itachi had time to change and freshen up as well, while Sakura was in the shower he could finish decorating parts of the room. He grabbed some cherry blossom petals and spread them across the floor and bed, he wasn't usually this romantic but Tobi offered to help him. Itachi only accepted on the condition that he tells no one about it, Itachi had a reputation to maintain. He rapidly changed into a suit he had in the very back of his closet, wiping off the dust he sat in the chair closest to the bathroom and wait for Sakura to finish.

A few moments later she emerged form the bathroom looking utterly magnificent.

"What do you think?"

Her hair was hanging graciously framing her face and blossoming over her shoulders, she wore the dress Itachi had given her. It was a long silk navy dress that covered her ankle; there was a slit that reached up to her thigh showing her lady like figure off quiet adequately. It had a halter neck and the front came downwards in the middle but wasn't exceedingly revealing. Her lips looked full and untainted; the candle flames could be seen flickering in her eyes, the golden light shone on her skin giving it a heavenly glow.

"Beautiful…as always"

Sakura began to blush a light shade of pink.

"You clean up good"

"Thanks"

"So…what are we going to do for three hours?"

Itachi didn't reply he just pulled Sakura close to him, she could feel his hot balmy breath on her face as he placed one arm around her waist. Pressing a button the CD player Don't know if they have those but oh well, music began to play and Itachi entwined Sakura's hand with his. Soon they were dancing, Sakura's head resting firmly on Itachi's chest and his fingertips lacing her hip.

"Itachi…"

"Hn"

"Do you love me?"

"Of course"

Never wanting this to end Sakura stood on her toes and gently kissed Itachi on his lips, she was so comfortable with him. They had spent only a week together and she already felt as if he left her side she wouldn't be able to live without him, and he felt the same. Suddenly Itachi scooped Sakura up and walked her over to the bed, lying on top of her he positioned one hand next to her hip and the other by her head to assist holding him up.

Without another thought Sakura leaned up slightly and began kissing Itachi, biting his lip she started tugging at his suit as well.

"Sakura…Are you sure…you want to do this?"

"I'm sure"

Meanwhile Sasuke was wandering about the base, he was still on a tight leach; he could tell because he had sensed that Diedara was following him the moment he began to wander. Since nor Sakura or Itachi had said anything about him going back to his cell he decided to go for a walk, not far because he was to stay inside the base. After a while he found himself outside Itachi's room, leaning his ear against the door he heard something, to him it sounded like Sakura was in trouble.

He was about to open the door when Diedara grabbed his arm

"I wouldn't go in there"

"Why not?"

"That screaming, it's not what you think"

Sasuke shuddered slightly, were they? No Sakura wouldn't, would she? He wasn't quite sure anymore. Sakura had changed recently, he wasn't sure if he even knew her anymore. Diedara released his arm and Sasuke continued walking around the base, he soon came to Sakura's room; well it was supposed to be.

"Can I go in here?"

"Sure, I don't see why not"

He slowly opened the door to reveal a dark room, switching on the light as he stepped into the room he noticed the room was actually quite nice. For an evil lair anyway. All the furniture was dark ebony wood and the curtains and bed sheets were blood red silk lined with black lacing at the bottoms. On the wall were some pictures of cherry blossom trees and a large mirror; on the wall above the double bed there was golden writing etched into the paint. 'My Cherry Blossom' in a shimmering golden paint.

Whilst Sasuke continued discovering new things about the Akatsuki base Sakura and Itachi were talking.

"I have another gift for you Sakura"

"Itachi, you don't have to give me gifts all the time. I feel spoilt"

"You are, but I love it"

Her got up from the bed not caring to cover himself; he grabbed two silk dressing gowns. He tossed one to Sakura and wore one himself; he also passed her a small nightgown that just barely covered her thighs. After they were both covered Itachi held open the door for Sakura, once she walked past him he closed the door before following her. He placed his hands over her eyes and led her a few meters down the hall, being careful to guide her in thee right direction.

"Can I look yet?"

"Not yet. Okay now you can look"

When Sakura opened her eyes she was gob smacked

"Oh Itachi. I love it, thank you"

"I thought you might"

She leapt into his arms and gave him a tender kiss as he carried her inside, he closed the door behind them and put her back down onto her feet.

"Maybe when I get back we could christen your new room"

"Christen…Oh"

She started blushing slightly so she covered her face with her hand.

"I love it when you blush"

"Don't worry I'll get you back soon Itachi"

"Well you'll have to wait until I get back"

"Why?"

"It's almost three o'clock. I have to go soon"

"We've still got half an hour left"

"You won't make me blush in that short amount of time"

"Don't underestimate me, Uchiha"

"Oh, Uchiha is it now? Do I mean that little to you"

"You mean more to me than you think. Now turn around I've got a surprise for you now"

"Fine"

"Sexy No Jutsu" thought Sakura as she did the appropriate hand signs "At least I learnt one useful thing from Naruto"

"Okay, you can turn around now"

Not only had she now made him blush but he was almost about to faint. He was a dark shade of red and he looked as if he was going to drool any second now.

"Wow" was all he managed to say before he wrestled Sakura to the ground.

The bell rang for three o'clock as Itachi grabbed his dressing gown from beside Sakura

"I have to go"

"I'll miss you"

"I'll miss you too my cherry blossom"

"Promise to come back as soon as you can"

"I promise, I wouldn't want to be away from you for more time than necessary. I'll be back soon"

"I love you"

"I love you too"

How was that? Awesome I hope. I won't know until you review, hint hint. Itachi is leaving, what will happen while he's away? Will Sasuke try kissing her again, or worse?
