Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

She smiled as she walked towards her, noticing the 'what did you do now' look on her face. Tsunade spoke, "What is it now; I promise I almost regret making you my apprentice." She grinned, "Nope, you love me." Taking a seat and continuing her onslaught of sunshine with her smile she said one thing, "Head Anbu." Tsunade rolled her eyes, "Sakura I've told you before, no one wants to become the Head. Kakashi's retiring next year, Gai's too loud and the rest don't meet the requirements." She, with her grin still in place, said "Itachi Uchiha." Tsunade frowned, "Stop smiling its getting creepy. And do pray tell me how he would be Head and a Clan leader?" In response to her she smiled wider, "I'll send him in next week." Tsunade rolled her eyes, "The things I do for you children."

Sakura walked home, not forgetting to make her usual pit stop. After all she couldn't forget about her project eh? - Waving to Ayuko she said, "Don't forget about our agreement there's only half a week left!" She smiled, everything was in order.

Naruto ran into her house with a slower Sauske behind him, the latter criticizing his behavior. However Naruto ignored him and stared at Sakura oddly before tapping Sauske and whispering. "Look at her, she's…cooking." Sakura laughed, "Naruto, Sauske would you like to try it?" Naruto tapped Sauske again, whispering again "She offered us some, think its poison?" Sauske nodded, "Hmm, she never cooks something is definitely wrong. And her hairs shinier too, she told me certain mixes of chemicals can do that if you're near it." Naruto speaking up said, "No, I think we're good Sakura." She smiled, "I assure you it is not poison and my hair is just…being really good I guess." Naruto eyes bugged, "How did you hear us?" Sauske stared intently, "She's using a hearing jutsu for sure, trying to determine how long our hearts beat after digesting the poison."

After a bit more of them suspecting poison or attempts at murder they sat down and began to eat. However before either could eat anything Sakura spoke, "I hope I didn't leave the chicken out too long last night." Though they both noticed this to be a small afterthought they froze, looking at each other in worry. Well, Sauske did. Naruto, however, had already taken a bite and was immediately regretting his decision. He turned a pale green and threw up the extra into the nearby trash can. Sakura turned around, worry in her eyes. Not for Naruto but for her dish, was it really that bad? Sauske worried that she might actually cry started to taste it, "Surely it cannot be that bad." However it garnered a similar reaction from him, eyes widening before he, as calmly as possible, excused himself. She slouched, "I knew I should just stay out of the kitchen." Naruto in his distress said, "It burns!" Said person rushed to the sink, spraying the hose into his mouth to rid himself of the taste.

So in her disappointment she considered just calling in take out on that day.

Itachi felt…anxious, for what he wasn't sure however he knew when it came he would feel better. Until then he was a little jumpy. So when his mother walked into his room as he had zoned out about something in particular he jumped, not noticeable to civilian eyes and hard for even shinobi to notice but she was his mother and she did. "Itachi, I'm sorry if I scared you. Are you okay?" He squinted his eyes, "I'm not sure to be honest, I'm anxious and tense. Not sure for what but I am, do you know of how I could fix this?" He noticed his mother's eyes widen, "Uh no, no Itachi I don't you'll have to solve this on your own, bye!" Itachi stared before looking down in confusion.

Sakura stared at the door, not sure whether she should even knock. Did she really want to ask her for help? Wouldn't it be a little…strange? Obvious? Annoying because she might interpret it as an advance towards her son though it wasn't for those reasons at all? She knocked once, twice. Hearing footsteps come to the door she prepared a spine of steel and a calm smile. "Sakura-chan! What brings you here?" She smiled before greeting Nana Akimichi, "Hello Akimichi-sama I came to ask a huge favor if you did not mind." Nana smiled widely, "Of course! Anything for the wonderful medic that saved my sons life." She nearly winced at the memory, Yusei Akimichi was knocking on deaths door from an ambush. She had brought him back after only half an hour, which for repairing a chunk of his lung that was missing was pretty dang good. Ever since then he had carried a torch for her that did not go out, and this was two years ago. Yusei-san was neither ugly, nor impolite or anything necessarily repulsive. However, he was very…persistent. Every Sunday, the day she saved him, she would receive pink carnations, yellow chrysanthemums and lilacs.

She had honestly thought he had just thrown some colors together, however Ino had told her the meaning and reason behind them. Yellow chrysanthemums; secret admirer. Pink carnations; gratitude. Lilacs; first love. She had been confused at the secret admirer part; did he really think she didn't know it was from him? However she let it go, and every Sunday they would sit in a vase. Because she honestly didn't know what else to do with them. What was she supposed to tell a man who was in love with her? So she let the matter be; besides he hadn't come out and straight forward asked her anything. However that didn't stop his mother. "So, Sakura-chan have you seen my son recently?" She shook her head, "Ah no ma'am I've been so busy with personal matters recently that I haven't had much time for friends." They walked through her house to the living room till they came to a large burgundy couch, sitting down on it she waited. "So, besides great conversation what did you come by here for?"

She smiled once, "I cannot cook, and having had yours multiple times," Thanks to the 'invitations to dinner' that she set up. Somewhere in between the food being set on the table and Nana having to 'attend clan matters' she and Yusei were left alone. Every. Single. Time. She'd visited three times before noticing a pattern, and never coming back. "I know for a fact that you are a wonderful cook. So my question is…would you mind teaching me?" She couldn't help the hopeful look. Nana smiled, "Gladly, where do you want to start?" Sakura thought for a moment, what was it again? Oh yeah, "Yakitori and fried rice, though anything else that comes to mind is welcome."

Itachi walked past Sakura's house, noticing a chubby male place flowers at her doorstep. He wondered if she knew she had an admirer, the thought that she did and he was more than just an admirer... So, he quickly passed the thought along its way. No need to sit on assumptions.

Tsunade stared at the mission log for this month, without her two favorite shinobi on duty (though she'd never tell them that) many important missions had been either a; put aside for next month. Or b; given to someone who, she noticed sadly, did not do as well of a job. Ironically both were off duty due to the others actions, she rolled her eyes. Stupid brats. However she couldn't be too angry, one had solved a problem that had been with them for years and the other, she smirked, most likely helped solve that. Where will this lead you to I wonder? She grinned as she set up the mission log for next month. Hell, if she had nothing to do with her personal life the least she could do was mess with someone else's.

A/N: ...It wasnt that long was it? Anywazzz

BEHOLD MY NEW AWESOME PAGE SEPERATOR...;...AWE IN ITS AWESOME.

So, I read itasaku and there are a lot of awesome ones out there. I'm hereby recommending a couple to keep you busy while I lollygag and don't update mine on time. :D arent I nice?

Forte by rls58

A Deal For Peace by KitsuneMiyuKendraHyuga

The Chosen One by Doujin-Maker

-nods- Yup thats about all I have. Also sorry about the story it just seems to ...flow terribly recently. I intend to make another Itaskau after this one(dont bet on it), perhaps an office setting I love those. And instead of them being strictly in character Imma go out of bounds and write em' how I wanna -And potentially lose every follower ever.- But it is sooo hard to write them in character and often(did you mean every chapter?) they seem nothing like their characters. So I'm just gonna bump it in the next one and basically free write it. I wrote the last paragraph while watching One Piece simultaneously -Ooohh big word- and I like the way that came out so I think I'll do it more often.

Anywayzzz leave a comment, criticism is welcomed ^^
