I'll say this now before I start the update, I think around 5 or 6 of you guessed it right so good job ^-^ but I won't say exactly who it is yet because that would ruin the story. Enjoy the update.
The picked up Sakura's unconscious body and began to walk to their car.
"This is going to be fun, I can't believe we ran into the only one that got away." A man said as he opened the door to his car.
"Hey open the trunk so we can put her in." Another man said as he carried Sakura to the behind the car.
Behind a tree stood Konan and Pain who had just heard what they said and saw Sakura's unconscious body over the man's shoulders.
Konan took out her phone to let everyone else know and Pain went in to attack before they were able to put Sakura in the trunk of the car.
"Hey what the-" was all the man with the keys to the car could say before he received a hard hit to his temple which caused him to black out.
"Who the hell are you!?" The other men said as they took out their knifes and began to walk closer to him.
"I'm her friend." He simply said pointing to Sakura, they had the look of fear and concern for a bit before they decided to attack.
One man charged him with a knife in his hands as he tried to stab Pain in his abdomen, unluckily for that guy Pain was stronger than he appeared. He grabbed his wrist before bending it backward and damaging, if not breaking, his carpals. He released the knife but tried to continue the fight, Pain grabbed his head and brought it down to his rising knee. The man lost consciousness then and only fell to the floor like the man before him.
At this point the rest of the men looked terrified and weren't too sure on whether or not they wanted to hand Sakura over to them.
"Hand her over if you don't want to end up like these two." Pain spoke clearly, forcibly, but unfazed. His unfazed composer was what scared the other man to even get near him.
"Give her back now!" Konan's voice broke through the silence as she appeared next to Pain.
One of the guys tried to sneak up behind her with a metal pole in his hands. There was suddenly a gun shot that was heard and soon after the sound of a metal hitting concrete was heard. The man that was about to try and hurt Konan was now on the floor holding his stomach.
All the men remaining looked at the man in shock.
"I'm not so nice as my boyfriend here," Konan said revealing the gun she used to shoot the man that was now passed out bleeding behind them and pointed it towards the man holding Sakura.
"Give her back or I'll shoot a whole through your head." Konan said with furry and hate radiating from her voice.
"Y-You won't shoot me while I have her, what if you miss and-"
"Ok, let's try it out shall we. I have complete faith in my shooting, do you have faith that I might actually miss my target?" She asked with eyes blank of emotion.
"Hey man just give them the girl! She isn't worth it." The other guys said as they dropped their weapons and put their hands up to show her they were no longer a treat.
The guy got Sakura off his shoulders with shaking hands as he slowly began to walk to them.
"Give her to him." Konan said motioning her head to Pain, to which Pain responded by stepping forwards and getting Sakura into his hands and away from the men who just tried to steal her.
"We can go now right?" One of the men asked with fear clearly written on his face.
"You guys tried to kidnap a girl who is still under 18. You guys aren't going anywhere but jail." She stated clearly. That's when they panicked and tried to run away not realizing that there were others behind them.
Sasuke, Naruto, and Neji knocked out the remaining three guys that tried to run and not soon after Itachi came running to Sakura's side.
"Did you guys already call the police?" Tenten asked as she went over to where they were.
"Yea, I contacted them earlier. They should be here soon." Konan said as just as she finished her sentence they heard the sirens of the cop cars coming and they were soon parked in front of them.
As they explained the situation to the cops and the cops handcuffed the man and put them behind their cop cars they gave them their thanks like always before driving off.
"We should all get home, it's late and we're all drenched in rain. We might all have to call in sick." Shikamaru said observing everyone's soaked state.
They were all finally home and after they all went to take a hot shower Konan made hot coco for everyone to warm their bodies up.
Itachi carried Sakura to their room as he placed her in a hot bath, she was still unconscious so he was taking care of her for the time being.
He saw the busted lip that was caused by his hands and his trembling hands lightly touched it. The moment they did it felt like his hands were being poured on melted lava. He retrieved his hands and he knew he no longer had the right to touch her.
He placed his face in his hands unsure of what to do.
"Nn.." He heard Sakura's voice.
His head snapped up and he saw Sakura's eyes meeting his. He instantly went back to give her room.
"I didn't kiss her," Itachi began, "I swear I would never do that to you. She was the one who kissed me, she came out of nowhere and kissed me. I pulled her off and told her I'd get a restraining order if she ever touched me again. I fired her and erased all forms of communication with her after that. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to hurt you…" Sakura, who was prepared to hate Itachi and curse him out, was now finding herself to forgive him. Everything was a misunderstanding…everything.
It was quite for a long time.
"I-I'm sorry." Was all that Itachi could say, "I'll leave you alone now…" Itachi said knowing Sakura probably hated her.
"No! Wait… please." Sakura's voice was like the small thread of hope that Itachi was desperately holding onto. If he lost her he didn't know what he would do, and he knows that he has no right to keep her anymore.
"Why do you want me around? I…I.." Itachi couldn't even say it, he hated thinking about it. He just wanted to punch himself so bad.
"Itachi…" Sakura said hoping he'd turn around, but to no avail Itachi didn't want Sakura to see the face of anyone who inflicted pain on her, and that included himself.
Itachi balled his hands into fists and before Sakura could say anything else he punched himself so hard that he actually stumbled back.
"Itachi?!" Sakura said panicking as she got out of the bath and went to him as quickly as she could without slipping.
"I know that this doesn't forgive what I did to you…but I felt like I needed to hurt myself to start repenting for it." Itachi said and every word he spoke was like a knife to her heart. Of course Sakura was upset at everything that happened but she knew the real Itachi…the one that saved her and showed her love. He'd never do something like that to Sakura willingly.
"Itachi please look at me." Sakura begged.
Itachi slowly turned around and Sakura couldn't describe what she was feeling.
Itachi, THE Itachi Uchiha, was crying.
Itachi couldn't remember the last time he cried, it had been so long.
Sakura couldn't help but feel guilty for seeing the one she loved in this state. If she had only listened to Sasuke form the start and just talked to Itachi about it she would have known the truth the whole time and maybe none of this would have happened.
"I love you!" Sakura said as she threw her arms around him, but only to have Itachi stop her and push her lightly back.
"I have no right to receive your love or your touch…I can never-"
"Listen to me!" Sakura cut him off as she grabbed Itachi's face and forced him to look at her, "If you end us like this now…then….then our love wasn't strong to begin with! I know that our love is strong enough to overcome something like this…do you?" Sakura's intense eyes were staring straight into Itachi's.
"But I-" Itachi began but was cut off again.
"No buts! Yes or no…" Sakura's eyes were now pleading.
"Itachi wrapped his arms around Sakura's waste and pulled her closer to him as he buried his face on her neck.
"I love you so much." He whispered with so much love that Sakura couldn't even doubt it for a second that it was a lie.
"I'm so sorry….I'm so…so sorry." Itachi said as he held her closer to him. Sakura felt his tears hit her skin and she played with his hair to soothe him.
"I'm sorry I didn't ask to begin with and kept sneaking out of our bed." Sakura said and Itachi pulled away to look at her.
"No more secretes between us ok?" Itachi asked and Sakura nodded before kissing him.
Sakura didn't know how to describe the kiss that she was receiving. It felt so amazing and intoxicating that she didn't even know when she ran out of oxygen until her lungs started complaining in pain.
She felt dizzy and Itachi carried her to bed as he continued to kiss her.
"I only need you." He said staring at her with so much love it made her blush in embarrassment.
As he continued to kiss her Sakura could only think that she will never leave this man, because no one will ever love her more than he does.
As the night went on his clothes found their way to the floor along with her towel, and the rest well you know ;)
Hope you all enjoyed! Now you'll have to wait for the update again! Lol don't forget to review
