Sakura laid beside Itachi in the comfort of the large king sized bed they shared. The sun was a warm and welcoming as it peered through the window of their home. It had been a week since Sasuke attempted to infiltrate the village to get to her. She had yet to see him but today was the day Itachi and herself would be summoned to visit him in his holding cell below the city grounds. She turned over in the bed so she could snuggle up between Itachi's shoulder blades. She couldn't help the contented sigh that escaped her. She felt him roll over before she was victim to a bear hug.
Itachi snuggled Sakura close to his chest. He could feel the sun upon his face as he buried his nose into her neck. He was rewarded with a giggling fit as Sakura squirmed to get away. He grabbed her hair to hold her still before he claimed her lips with his own. The feel of her silken hair entangled in his finger with the feel of her soft lips caused a rough moan to escape. Sakura took the initiative to dive her tongue into his mouth before she wrapped her arms around his neck. Itachi pulled back first leaving Sakura heated and wanting in his wake.
Hearing Itachi chuckle Sakura rolled out of bed, Itachi followed suit. Sakura squealed as she was quickly picked up and carried to the bathroom. Itachi took his time stripping off her night clothes before finishing off his. The two showered together enjoying the beautiful summer morning. Sakura grabbed their body was squeezing some of the goo into her hand before rubbing it together forming a bubbling mess. She took her time washing Itachi's body. Has she grabbed his length to clean he began to grow in her hand. Smiling to herself she continued to pump him in a lazy motion. She felt the weight of Itachi's head fall on her shoulder pleasuring her with his groans and grunts of ecstasy as he came in her hand.
"Well good morning to you too dear." His smile was contagious as Sakura laughed before washing herself. The two love birds exited the shower drying off and redressing before going down the stairs to the kitchen. Itachi made breakfast before there was a knock on the door. Sakura went to open it as Itachi finished setting the plates on the table.
"Why hello Kakashi. I am assuming you are here to summon us?"
"I am. The Hokage would like you in her office as soon as possible." After saying what he needed he was off in a poof.
Sakura walked back to the table, seating herself in her spot beside Itachi. He was waiting to eat with her Gin upon his shoulder.
"Is it time to see Sasuke?"
"It is, let us eat our breakfast first then we can head right over."
The two rushed through their meal before walking out the door hand in hand. Gin stayed perched on Itachi's shoulder as they walked quietly through the bustling village. Everyone was running around visiting the market getting what they would need for the day before heading home or maybe lunch at one of the many restaurants in the village. Sakura squeezed Itachi's hand as people avoided their path. Everyone still feared the Uchiha as they still believed he killed his family for fun. Many had exiled Sakura for being his fiancé. They had thought so highly of her before, it was funny how fast people's minds could change.
Upon arriving at the Hokage tower Sakura took the lead. she knew he was still uncomfortable with these things but he was determined to talk to his brother. It had been a rough week getting permission for the two to see Sasuke but here they were about to go visit the young Uchiha in prison. Sakura took the first step into Tsunade's office, Itachi close behind her.
"My Lady, you wished to see us."
"Yes, it took some convincing but as you know I finally got permission to let you talk to Sasuke. I am to be with you of course but at least I got you permission. Now I don't have all day so let's go."
Itachi followed Tsunade, Sakura was behind him Gin glanced over his shoulder to see her trembling a little. She did not want to see Sasuke but all the same, she had to face him to defeat fear he instilled in her.
The small group walked down the tower, went through a few doors that Sakura swore never excited before ending up in front of the cell that held Sasuke. He was chained arms hung to his sides as the chains strained to reach him. Chakra seals ran along his body as he fought to get strength. He glared up at the intrusion. His face falling in shock upon noticing his visitors.
"Alright brat. We don't have a lot of time and your brother has fought a great deal to see you so listen up." Tsunade walked back by Sakura, she wrapped a comforting arm around the girl waiting for the time to run out.
Sasuke looked to the bird upon Itachi's shoulder, he watched as Gins eyes narrowed on him. Then he looked back to his brother.
"Why the hell are you here."
"I am here for a few reasons but most importantly to tell you the truth about what happened the night of the massacre. Then to talk about what you did to Sakura."
Sasuke laughed before he spoke, his voice laced with venom.
"I don't care what you say, and Sakura is mine. You had no right taking her from me. "
"She was not yours to claim. Now let me show you what happened that night."
Gin flew to Sasuke, he perched on the ground before him looking deep into Sasuke's eyes. The red eyes began to spin as Sasuke entered the world of Itachi's choosing.
Sasuke saw the truth, felt the agony Itachi felt as he killed the woman he once loved. His body was shuddering on its own accord. He remembered that night as well but to know his brother felt the same pain, if not worse was unnerving. He had wanted to kill his brother for something his brother had no choice to do. Then everything changed suddenly he was seeing himself through Sakura's eyes. He was above her he felt the pain and fear of being taken by force. He felt her heart shatter, heard the prayer for death to come to her. He saw himself as he laughed at her for being weak. He was the monster he swore he would never be. Itachi did not relent though, he had Sasuke lay there in the ice cold grass, he felt his body, Sakura's body go numb. He felt his life slipping. Then he was back in his prison. Itachi was still blind before him.
Sasuke looked to Sakura who stood as tall as she could by Tsunade. She was watching him when their eye met she turned to look to Itachi. She couldn't even look at him, he was a disgrace.
"Itachi."
Itachi nodded to prove he was listening to his brother. Sasuke looked passed him to Tsunade.
"I know where my old eyes are. You can send for them, and I can return yours to you."
Sakura couldn't believe what she was hearing. Sasuke knew where his eyes were, Itachi could get his vision back. Sakura hadn't believed that to be possible. Gin flew to Sakura's shoulder.
"Itachi," Tsunade called to him. "Times up."
Itachi turned his back to Sasuke. Without a word, the three left him there. Itachi walked down the halls that had lead them to Sasuke not long before. Sakura followed close behind him, her hand entwined in his. Tsunade brought up the rear ensuring to the world the two before she was leaving.
The three-shinobi walked back into Tsunade's office.
"Alright, Uchiha. What would you like to do about Sasuke's proposition?"
"I would like my eyes back. But Sakura chooses who it is to collect them. We cannot afford them falling into the wrong hands."
"I agree to that. Sakura do you know who you trust for such a task?"
"Yes, Shishu. I would like team Guy to retrieve them with Kakashi added."
"Agreed. I will send Shizune to get the coordinates. I will summon you when I receive the eyes myself."
Itachi walked out with Sakura. He couldn't believe that he was going to get his eyes back. He would finally get to see Sakura again.
