"Sakura." Turning her head to the side, Sakura looked at her father and gave him a questioning look. "Yes, father?" came her reply, still waiting for an answer.

Itachi felt someone kicked him under table and could already guessed who it was. Sighing unnoticeably, Itachi looked at his father who only nodded at him, signaling to make a move.

Closing his eyes, he smirked a little, "Sakura," came his deep voice and the girl couldn't help but shiver at the way he called her. Revealing his eyes, he looked seductively at her and noticed a blush on her cheeks.

Never in her life had someone looked at her like that before. His eyes held hunger and lust for her. Even Sasori had never looked at her like that…

"Yes?" she whispered, looking down as she tried to hide her blush.

"Would you…like to dance with me?" he asked quietly. Itachi stood up and walked around the table, standing next to her and patiently waited for her to accept his invitation.

She glanced at her father, hoping he would help her but he didn't. Sakura accepted his hand and stood up, following him to the dance floor.

He turned around slightly and pulled her close with him, rubbing their chest against each other. His arms wrapped around her small waists, causing her blush to deepen. Sakura slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and looked into his mesmerized eyes.

Sakura was so entranced by him that she didn't feel his hands wandering around her back. She was so lost in the moment that she didn't notice her father and Fugaku leaving. Itachi did however. He averted his eyes upon Sakura's father and his father who only looked in satisfaction at his son.

He lowered his lips next to her ear and whispered huskily, "They are leaving." Sakura blinked a couple of times and felt his arms tightened around her.

Her eyes fell upon his lips while his orbs were still glaring at his father.

Sakura felt his long, black hair against her hands and she couldn't help but let her fingers touch them. He turned back and chuckling softly, a smirk on his lips. "Enjoying yourself?" he asked quietly.

Her eyes widened and quickly turned her head to the side, ignoring his smirk.

Sakura tried to break out of his hold but he did the opposite as his hold on her tightened again. "The song isn't over yet," he said as she glanced at him with a questioning look. "They are still here."

Nodding slowly, she let her thoughts wander to something else other than this. She didn't notice that Itachi had loosened his hold on her. "It's over," came his voice.

"Hm…" she nodded again. Slowly she let her hands fall back to her side, not knowing what would happen next.

He simply grabbed her hand and walked with her out of the restaurant to his car and away from his father. "Where are we going?" He simply ignored her and she tried to pull her hand back but found out he wasn't going to let her go so easily.

When they stood in front of his car, he opened the door for her to step in. Sakura went into the car, all the while watching his movement like a hawk. He walked around the car and slid next to her in the driver's seat and closed the door.

"Where to?" he asked her as he looked at her in the eyes. Her tongue wasn't obeying; as much as she wanted to say 'home' she couldn't, his cold looks were somehow addicted.

"Sakura," came his voice again plainly.

"Uh?" A chuckle resonated in the car and she blushed again, turning her head to the side to look at the houses that they were passing.

If Itachi wanted to go on a date with someone, then he would decide where they would go to, he would make a decision whether he would kiss the girl at the end of their date; he was the one who held the strings. That's just how it went on dates with Itachi; the girl would only follow him as a dog.

He didn't need someone to 'help' him on dates. Itachi had noticed that Sakura hadn't eaten a lot during their dinner, she seemed so nervous at some point.

"Where…are we going?" came a silent voice next to him. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Sakura looking at him with her big emerald eyes. "You'll see," came his stoic reply, indirectly ending the conversation.

---

"Yo, Sasori."

The red haired turned around and saw his best friend, Deidara. "Yo" he answered. Deidara wore black pants and a red shirt with the word 'Akatsuki' on it. On the other hand, Sasori had navy blue pants and a white shirt. "Going to Sakura?" Deidara asked Sasori as they walked next to each other.

"No."

"Ah. She isn't home anyway," Deidara said. Gaining the attention from his friend, he smirked. "Yeah, she's having a dinner, yeah."

"I saw her mother at home." Deidara smirked, so he did go to Sakura… "She told me Sakura went with her father and-"

"And?" Sasori narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Deidara. "Nothing. With her father and her father's boss, yeah," he said.

"Ah."

"I've heard from Ino something, yeah.." Deidara spoke up again as they passed the park, stopping for a moment to think back about memories when they were playing outside at the park with Sakura.

"What about Ino?" Sasori glanced around, remembering when he and Deidara got their first kiss from Sakura on the cheek. Sasori was jealous that Sakura kissed Deidara first, but it passed when he felt those small lips against his own cheek.

"Something with that Uchiha, yeah.."

---

Sakura gasped in silence as she enjoyed the view, this was… No words could describe her feelings now. "A-a.." She looked at Itachi with a smile plastered on her face, who only eyed her coolly.

Itachi drove her to the forest and then they walked up a hill to look at the view they had from the city they lived in. "Wow.." The sky had an orange hue and she never knew her city would look so…romantic? Yes, romantic…

He leaned against the tree they were standing near and observed her with a genuine interest. "Itachi…" she sighed. Silently, she wished that she was here with Sasori to enjoy the view, but he wasn't here, Itachi was.

Turning around, she locked gazes with him and they stood awhile in that position until the wind blew against her frame, causing a shiver to run up her spine. Hugging herself for warmth, she suddenly saw Itachi pushing himself away from the tree.

He got out of his jacket and draped it on her shoulders. She answered him with a questioning look and saw him walking back down again. "I'll bring you home." Sakura smiled slightly, and walked behind Itachi to his car.

As he waited patiently in his car for her, he noticed something different about her. Normally, he wouldn't take a girl to something like this; they were merely tools for him. However, this girl wasn't like any other he had been with before. She wasn't all fangirling over him.

She looked at him as a normal person- maybe as a friend? He wouldn't know. Girls… A smirk tugged at the corners from his lips.

Sitting next to Itachi, she looked at him as he drove her back to her house.

"Do you know where I live?" she whispered quietly. Itachi just nodded. He had walked pass her house as he walked to school, after all.

"Do you…want me to come and pick you up tomorrow?" he asked calmly.

"Uhm…" Sakura couldn't really answer, what if Sasori would see her with him? Biting on her lip she thought of Sasori. She…had allowed him to kiss her; she had allowed him to have her.

Does that mean I'm his?

No…

He didn't touch me…

"Sakura…" A voice interrupted her thoughts and Sakura looked back up at Itachi. "We're here," he said as he looked away from her.

Then…

She leaned closer and before he could react, he felt her soft, small, warm lips on his right cheek. As she pulled away, she saw the shocked look on his face as he gazed at her. She just smiled in reply and got out of his car. "Thank you for bringing me home, Itachi-kun."

Itachi-kun?

She giggled when he didn't move; he just stared blankly at her. Sakura turned around and walked to the front door, leading herself in. Before she closed the door, she smiled warmly at Itachi and disappeared inside.

Damn…

He shook his head. Fool… he slightly cursed to himself. Leaving his defense so open to the girl.

She does have a nice ass.

Itachi blinked slowly, starting to think she would be addictive… Maybe she would, he thought as a smirk appeared on his face. But then it would be more fun to fight for her until she would be his. Entirely.

He started his car again and glanced at the window. From her room, he saw her looking at him with those big, innocent eyes of hers. He eyed her suspiciously and was answered with a smile from her. Itachi drove away. He needed to calm his mind, this couldn't be happening! She was a mere tool.

It was imprinted in his mind. She was just a tool, a tool to take over his fathers company, to bear his children and nothing more.

Sakura watched him disappear behind the oak tree and she faintly sighed, remembering the look he gave her when she had kissed his cheek. Giggling slightly, she muttered he is so cute!

Letting herself fall back on her bed, she looked dreamily at the ceiling. 'Itachi-kun…' she sighed again. Her feelings for Itachi were a bit different than they were for Sasori.

She blinked slowly. 'Itachi-kun?' she never called Sasori, 'Sasori-kun'. She quickly dismissed those thoughts, no, she couldn't think like this. Sasori… But, somehow her mind drifted back to Itachi.

She started to yawn as she tried her best to stop thinking about Itachi.

Soon she closed her eyes and welcomed the sleep, still remembering those eyes.

---

"Itachi."

"Father…"

"How did it go?" asked Fugaku as he stood next to Itachi, waiting for an answer. "Good," Itachi gave his father a short reply after glaring at him openly, which his father ignored.

Itachi walked up the stairs, wanting to go into his room but a voice stopped him. "As expected from my son. Now make me proud and make that girl yours." Itachi smirked and walked up to his room. 'Make me proud..' went trough his head.

He would pay a visit tonight to Sakura. Just to satisfy his curiosity.

---

"Why didn't she tell us," Sasori asked, looking at Deidara. He eyed Sasori suspiciously, even in this situations his face was blank. But, he knew Sasori better then that. Deidara knew that behind that mask, anger was boiling up. Anger that that bastard had done something like that.

"You want to go to her, yeah?" he smirked as he saw his friend narrowing his eyes. "She's home now, yeah.."

Both turned around and walked in silence to Sakura's house, wanting for an answer.

They walked 10 minutes and as they neared her house they saw her window was open. Since her father was still in front of the tv, Sasori acted as a guard to warn Deidara if Sakura's father would get up.

Deidara was sitting on his knees on Sakura's windowsill. He saw that she was sleeping since her breathing was steady. Deidara didn't want to wake her up, so he would ask her tomorrow. However, the picture in front of him made his thoughts wonder to something entirely different…

A blush crept its way to Deidara's cheeks and he quickly pushed away those thoughts. He jumped soundless out the window, next to Sasori who shot him a questioning look. "She's sleeping, yeah." he whispered. Sasori nodded and started to walk away, home. Followed by Deidara who couldn't forget about Sakura..

---

When Sakura's parents had found her lying on the bed, they draped the sheets around her.

Red orbs watched the girl lying on the bed. He smirked, wondering how she would look like if she were to be under him.

A sudden movement on the bed made him focus back on her. She slowly turned around. Itachi blinked slowly, her eyes were open, well, half lidded.

Blinking a couple of times she thought she was still sleeping. She saw a shadow on her windowsill, a flash of red shot trough the darkness. The moon shone upon the shadow, and Sakura rose up blinking a couple of times. She was about to scream until a hand clamped over her mouth.

"Shh," came his soft voice as he sat next her on the edge of the bed. Sakura widened her eyes, what was he doing in her room!

Slowly she lifted a hand up, laying it on Itachi's hand, which was on her mouth. Gently prying it away from her mouth she narrowed her eyes and was about to speak, but Itachi was faster.

"I just wanted to see you."

Blinking a couple of times she didn't know whether she heard him clearly. He wanted to see her? In the middle of the night? Couldn't he wait for tomorrow!

"In the middle of the night?" she hissed. "Are you insane!" She saw him smirked to her annoyance. "Yes. Is that wrong?"

What she didn't know was that he was leaning more and more onto her, forcing her slowly to lay back down with him on top of her.

Sakura noticed what was happening and shot him a glare whispering, "What do you want!"

"A goodnight kiss," was his only reply and Sakura was surprised. Was this his reason to wake her up!

He slowly inched closer and Sakura could feel his hot breath dancing on her skin. His lips brushed gently against hers and her lips trembled on its own from his caress.

Then he pushed his lips against hers, slowly, passionately. Sakura was lost in the sensations, even Sasori had never kissed her like that. Sakura moaned in his mouth, giving him access to her mouth. He entwined their tongues and felt her hands against his chest.

Smirking, he deepened the kiss and heard a slight moan escape from her mouth.

'What am I doing…?'

She opened her eyes and looked in the onyx eyes of Itachi. Sakura wanted to break the kiss, but he wasn't letting her go. Instead, he moulded her lips more, biting softly on her lower lip.

Sakura wanted to back away, to get away from him. His kisses were addicted…his scent, his warm body on top of hers. Yet, she couldn't be doing this… But how come it felt right?

He slowly broke apart from her lips but didn't remove himself from her. They both looked at each other for a while without a word.

"Itachi-kun…" Sakura whispered after a while. Then, his eyes bled into blood red, dark red. Sakura suddenly felt very sleepy and couldn't help but close her eyes, falling asleep.

Itachi slowly got up and walked to her window, glancing one more time at her before disappearing into the night.

---

"Sakura you're going to be late for school!"

Her eyes flew open and Sakura jumped out of her bed, suddenly remembering that Itachi was in her room last night. 'Itachi-kun!' Sakura ran to the bathroom, throwing the clothes she had on yesterday on the floor.

"Sakura, Itachi is here."

"Hbml... Tell him I'll be right there! I just need a shower!"

Sakura jumped into the shower, washed herself as quickly as she could. Getting out, she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her frame, walking back to her room and gathering the clothes she had thrown off.

"Sakura."

"Yes, mother!"

Quickly slipping her skirt, she grabbed her dark green shirt with long sleeves and got it on, hearing her mother again. "I'm coming!"

She closed the door of her room and rushed downstairs, kissing her mother on the cheek and ran out of the door, seeing Itachi waiting for her in the car. He looked at her with his eyes were covered by sunglasses. "Good morning, Itachi-kun."

She sat down next to him with her school bag on her knees, slightly blushing at what had happened yesterday. "Hm." was his only response as he drove away.

Sakura secretly glanced at him but Itachi knew that she was staring at him. She couldn't see his eyes since his sunglasses were covering them. She sighed silently.

As they arrived at school, Itachi drove to a parking lot.

Itachi and Sakura both got out and Sakura couldn't help but wonder what would happen now. "Sakura," came his voice and she looked up into his onyx eyes.

He slowly nodded and turned his gaze away from her, when he blinked he averted his gaze back upon her. They walked in silence to school, hearing the bell.

"Sakura!" Turning around, she looked in the face of Ino and smiled at her "Ino!" she quickly glanced next to her, finding Itachi gone.

"Will you go shopping with me for Monday?" Ino asked cheerfully. "Hm, sure!" Sakura answered with a smile.

Both of them walked into their classroom and greeted their teacher Iruka politely. She noted Itachi and Sasuke had the same art lesson as her, while Sasori and Deidara would train outside...

"Everyone, choose a partner, today we will work in pairings."

Sakura wanted to be with Ino, but she was already gone. Then Sakura looked at Itachi who was ignoring Ino's talking. Sakura smirked and saw Itachi's gaze fell upon her. Blushing slightly, she clutched her skirt in her hands.

Itachi just walked away from Ino, completely ignoring her as he walked to Sakura.

It may be Saturday, but Sakura loved art. So, her mother and father had allowed her to take extra lesson in art. At first, she didn't know that Itachi was taking art classes but he did.

She could have chose between art or P.E. Sakura preferred art, so that was her choice.

Glancing at Ino, she found her friend glaring at her and then she turned around to walk to someone else as a partner. "She'll get over it," Itachi stated calmly as he saw her looking at her best friend.

"H-huh?" Sakura blinked as she looked at Itachi who smirked at her.

"Everyone has a partner? Good. May I have your attention all?"

The room became quiet and they all looked at Iruka, who smiled nervously. "Since our last topic is finished, I want to start a new one. 'Love' will be the theme for this week." Sakura shot a glance at Itachi who absently looked at Iruka, his eyes blank.

'Love…' Sakura blushed furiously as she thought about Sasori and Itachi. 'What have I done!' Sakura didn't know that Itachi was watching her in amusement and let out a low chuckle that only she could hear. Looking next at him, she saw that he was watching her.

"So, today we will not be inside this dusty class, we will go outside and enjoy under the sun. Talk to your partner what you think love means and the other one will write it down. Create your own idea with it, poem, drawing, you name it."

"Follow me, please." Iruka said as he walked outside. Suddenly, Sakura felt a warm hand on the small of her back and glanced behind her to see Itachi smirking at her who pushed her slightly to make her walk.

When they were outside, Itachi led her to a tree and sat down in the shadows as he leaned against the tree, his eyes never leaving her. Sakura sat in front of him, faintly blushing as they locked eyes. What Sakura didn't notice was that someone was looking at them.

And that someone started to get mad. Sasori's eyes darkened upon seeing Sakura with Itachi. Sasori glanced at the younger one, Sasuke who glared at Sakura's back. A dark smile was found on Sasori's face, he would take care of both of them. No one would touch what was his.

"Sasori."

"I'll be there." Sasori turned around, walking back to the football match they played.

---

"So…" Sakura started. "What does…love mean to you?" she whispered, looking at her knees, finding it better then looking at him in the face which she knew sure she would blush.

A chuckle left his lips. "Why don't you answer that question first?" he said evenly.

"Uhm…Love… " she eyed him shyly and looked back down "…is to care about each other…"

"And?"

"…And… That you're always there for each other… And trust… There will be no… secrets between each other."

"Hm." He nodded slowly and smirked. "You?" she whispered, her head was bent down, causing her hair to fall in front of her red face. "I don't know what love is. Nor can I give it." Sakura looked up, eyes filled with confusion as she looked at him. 'What about us?'

"…W-what about…" she chocked on her words and looked away from him. "Sakura."

'No, nothing Sakura!' She clenched her jaw and thought angrily. She will not marry him if he would not love her! Again he said her name, this time darker, yet she was too stubborn and ignored him.

A gasp left her parted lips as she found herself on the ground, looking in the face of Itachi. "What!" she hissed at him, feeling her anger boil up. He simply smirked at her and inched closer to her lips as he hovered above her.

"Sakura." Both of them broke their gazes and looked at Sasori who stood there, watching them blankly. "S-Sasori" she stuttered, pushing Itachi back as she sat up on her knees in front of Itachi. "This…is Itachi. He's the son of my father's boss, his father asked me to show him the city…so he couldn't get loss."

'Right! Like he falls for that.. Bad Sakura, bad! You always were such a horrible liar.' Sakura bit down her lip as she looked in fear at Sasori who eyed her coolly.

"It's almost time, everyone please gather back in class," Iruka said as he stood up.

Itachi stood up as well, still glaring at Sasori. He waited for Sakura. As Sakura complied and stood up, Itachi smirked at Sasori.

"Sasori…I'll be right back, I'll tell you everything." Again, Sasori said nothing as he looked at Itachi. "Sasori, yeah! It's time! Get your lazy ass over here, yeah…" Deidara waved happily at Sakura who waved unsurely back at him. Sasori turned around and stalked off to the showers.

Sakura was about to walk behind Sasori if not for a hand that grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Gasping, she felt those hard muscles against her back.

"We have to go," Itachi whispered huskily in her ear. Sakura nodded slowly, her eyes saddening at seeing Sasori leave…

---

"Sakura!" Ino screamed through the school and saw Sakura in front of her locker. "Hm?" Sakura looked curiously at her friend who seemed to be in a state of panic. "O-outside... Fighting."

"Fighting?" Sakura narrowed her eyes as she saw Ino gasping for breath. "Itachi and Sasori...uh...Sakura!" Sakura was running away from Ino and her locker, leaving her books on the ground as she neared the exit of the school.

Her eyes widened as she took the picture in front of her, both Sasori and Itachi were fighting. Then she saw a running Iruka at them, trying to stop both of them.

As Iruka finally had the fighting pair out each others' reach, Sakura saw that a trickle of blood slid down Sasori's hair. While...Itachi, his clothes were only dusted and a few scrathes here and there.

"What is it with you guys! Fighting like this! You both are really dissapointing, I think a few hours of detention will cool you guys down." Iruka pushed them towards the school and both stopped in their tracks when they saw Sakura standing there, tears falling down her cheeks as she looked at them.

Then she turned around, running back into the school, wanting to hide somewhere, far away from everyone.

Sakura stopped after a while when she reached the art class again, sobbing loudly she tried her best to stop but found it impossible.

As she stood in front of the class, she didn't know that someone was standing behind her. A hand settled on Sakura's shoulder and she jumped up slightly, turning around to look into the face of Deidara. He didn't say anything as she leaned her head on his chest. He didn't say anything as she balled her small hands into fist and slammed them on his chest.

He simply wrapped his arms around her and waited until she was done with crying.

She knew Deidara would never be jealous, she knew that he liked her, she knew that he wanted her to be happy, she knew that he was a true friend. "Why..." Sakura whispered after a while against his chest, enjoying the way his heart was beating.

He decided not to answer the question, letting herself think about it. "Jealousy?" she whispered again, looking up and locking eyes with him. He nodded slowly.

"I don't want this..." she breathed out. Again he said nothing. "Do you want me to bring you home? Yeah.."

"No." she smiled sadly and looked at him. "I still have to go shopping with Ino, you know, the party..." He nodded at her and his famous smirk was again on his place. "...Yeah, girls." he teased.

"Shut up!" she poked his chest and giggled as she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing both cheeks.

Then he made a move by capturing her lips with his. Sakura's eyes widened and closed when he let her control the kiss, following her movements. When they broke apart, she blushed slightly and burrowed her face in his neck. "You're great, Deidara!" she said and tightened her hold on his neck, hearing his chuckle.

".. Yeah, isn't Ino waiting?" he said. "Oh! Thanks, Deidara!" She loosened her hold and turned around, running towards her locker with a new found smile on her face.

I hope you liked it! I'll see you in the next chapter.
