Hello everyone!
Yes, i am finaly back! All i can say is i'm sorry for the delay but i had a writer's block and then once i wrote the chapter i just didn't think it was good enough so i didn't want to post it. I finaly came to the conclusion that you guys could be the judge of that so here it is. Any constructive critisiscm - key word "Constructive" critisiscm- is greatly appreciated.
Here are my extremely over due reply's to all of you fantastic people how reviewed my work, thank you i love you guys!
manryuu:Thank you so much for the support! i had only really meant it to be a one shot, as i came up with it while i was typing a different fanfic (which i never posted). You mentioned you found something complicated but you didn't say what, if you e-mail me i'll be happy to explain! You get an extra big hug and cookie from me too, because you were my first reviewer! Hope you like this chapter!
little ookami: It is pretty sad isn't it? I seem to be writing things like this recently, and i don't even know why! Thanks for reviewing, it really brought a smile on my face to see someone thought my fanfic was "great".
maldita08: I know Sasuke's dead, but since Sakura was married to him first and i had the sasusaku flashback i thought it was appropriate. However, i have changed the summary slightly, hope you approve!
GaaraRules: Thanks for the support, it really made my day to know someone wanted me to continue!

Once again thanks
"Inner Sakura"
"thoughts"
memory/flashback
"speech"
Sakura walked round the small house. It was Itachi's own, and knowing that he was out on a mission, she had not worried about walking around the house in a pair of his boxers, and a long sleeved shirt she had found in his drawers. She couldn't bear the thought, of wearing the clothes she had been wearing on the day he took her from Konoha, which had not been washed in three days, so naturally not having her own clothes, she took his.
"Well, at least my clothes should have dried out by the time, Chi-kun gets home."
"Ooohhh! Chi-kun is it now?"
"Yep it's cute right?"
"I thought he was an insensitive bastard?"
"He is. Just not to me."
So are we going to stay here with him?"
"I don't know I am just so confused I can't get my thoughts straight. What do you think?"
"let me see. Reason number one, you have nothing but an empty compound and a couple of friends who are too busy with their own lives back in Konoha. Two, Chi-kun has a gorgeous body."
At this both Inner, and normal Sakura sighed happily
"Three, he loves you! Do you think now that he has you he is going to let you go that easily?"
"No he probably won't, but then again, I don't think I want him to let me go. Last night, with him, it was just, just…."
"Special."
"Exactly, but it was even more than that!" Sakura hung her head ashamed of what she was thinking. "I never felt this way with Sasuke."
Inner Sakura nodded sympathetically.
"I know. We were made to be with an Uchiha, we just got the wrong one the first time."
By the time the sun set, Sakura had made her choice. Sakura was taking her clothes off where they were hanging in a small laundry room, and hanging them back up again, seeing how they had not yet dried out, when she felt a pair of strong arms slip around her waist.
Sakura jumped surprised, as Itachi buried his head in her neck, inhaling her scent. She smelled of him. She smelt of the lavender smell of his shower soap, and the clean summer breeze smell of his clothes.
"Mmmm, you smell good."
"Glad you think so." Sakura said smiling.
Hesitating for a second Sakura spoke quietly.
"I've got an answer for you."
Itachi stopped nuzzling her neck to look at her.
"And…."
Sakura took a deep breath, turning in his arms to face him.
"I want some pink paint for our room. You know, make it a bit more feminine."
Itachi pulled her into a passionate kiss, and started to lead her towards their (formerly his) bedroom. Closing the door behind them, and pushing her down on the bed.
"Chi-kun!" she growled.
"Chi-kun?" he askedas he nibbled and sucked on her neck.
"Dinner's going to burn."
Itachi looked at her, his eyes filled with lust, before he bent to kiss her softly, whispering next to her lips.
"Who cares about dinner?"
Sakura grumbled, clearing away the burnt food while he stood in the kitchen door watching her.
"What do you want me to make?"
Sakura raised an eyebrow.
"Lets see. Think you can handle onigiri?"
"What do you want with your onigiri?"
"Mmmm, I'll let you choose today, since you're the one making it."
Itachi smirked. "You have just resigned yourself to onigiri with tomatoes!"
Sakura shook her head. "I always wondered where Sasuke got his love of tomatoes from."
Itachi stopped reaching for the can of tomatoes in the cupboard above him. "You really loved him didn't you?"
Sakura bit her lip and shook her head. "No."
Itachi looked at her questioningly.
"I never truly loved him. I've only loved one person and he's standing next to me now." She whispered.
Itachi nodded his head in understanding and reached for the can of tomatoes and began making the onigiri. Once he had finished, he watched Sakura finish setting the table.
Sakura fell asleep easily that night in Itachi's arms. The dinner had been wonderful and she was determined to make sure that now she knew he could cook, that he cooked fairly often. No, he would not escape she thought laughing evilly.
Itachi however, couldn't fall asleep. Looking at her his thoughts wondered. He loved her and she loved him, but after all, she was his deceased brother's widow. Sasuke had given her so much and then it had all been ripped away. Her husband, her babies. How could he possibly make her happy? Furthermore Itachi knew that the Godaime had sent the Copy Ninja and the blonde bomb after her. If only we could marry and go somewhere where our identities were unknown and we could live in peace he thought. Peace he snorted. For so many years he had been in the Akatsuki on his quest for yet increasing his enormous power not realising that the source of his power, was the cherry blossom sleeping peacefully in his arms.
The next day Sakura was sitting on the sofa reading one of Itachi's scrolls, when she heard a door open. Looking at her watch she realised it was only two in the afternoon. Itachi wouldn't be home for another four hours at least. Grabbing a kunai she made her way to the entrance hall.
"Trying to kill me my love?" she heard an amused voice. Turning she saw Itachi behind her.
Leaving the kunai on the table next to her she walked over to him.
"What are you doing home so early?" she asked curiously.
"I came to speak to you. Sakura are you sure this is what you want? There's no going back, you're abandoning Konoha you know. You'll be hunted by hunter nins from more than just Konoha probably because of your medical skills."
"Why are you asking me this?" Sakura said distressed.
"Because you have to be sure this is what you want." He replied.
"Do you think I would still be here if I wanted to go back?" She asked her voice rising angrily. "Didn't you think I was aware of the consequences when I accepted you yesterday? Did you think I would run away? Do you think of me that lowly? It almost sounds as if you want me to leave! Is that what you want? You've changed your mind? I'm not good enough for you? Is that it?"
Sakura picked up the kunai from the table next to her and threw it straight at him. Sakura expected him to dodge it, when she saw the kunai lodge in his heart. Suddenly she felt her world come crashing down around her.
"Why didn't he dodge!"
Running over to him she felt frantically for a heart beat. Not finding any she sat next to his body transfixed.
Ok, well that's it for this time folks!
Only joking I'm not that cruel : p
"Great, now I'm even imagining I feel his arms around me when he's dead. How could I? I'm a monster how cou -"
Her thoughts were cut off when she realised she could feel his arms around her. Twisting she saw he was holding her close to his body. Suddenly hearing a bang, she saw the body in the floor disappear, the kunai nowhere to be seen.
"I love you Sakura, more than anything in the whole world. I just needed to make sure this is what you want, I didn't want you to make the wrong choice."
"You stupid moron." She said crying into his shoulder. "Even when I was married to Sasuke I couldn't help wishing it was you next to me instead of him!" She said sobbing harder.
Itachi rubbed her back soothingly. "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry."
"And, I'll never be able to marry you, I mean we can't exactly go up to the Hokage, or any other Kage for that matter, and then you might die any day in the Akatsuki!" She said still crying.
Itachi lifter her tear stained face, so that she was looking at him. "Sakura-chan, I quit Akatsuki this morning, and we can get married."
"But-how?"
"Civilians in places like here in Wave have a ceremony with a priest instead of a Kage, and it is completely legal." He replied.
"Really?" She asked.
Itachi nodded. Kneeling down in front of her, he pulled a small blue velvet box out of his cloak, and opened it.
"Sakura, will you marry me, and do me the honour of being my wife?"
Sakura nodded breaking into a fresh wave of tears though these were from happiness, rather than for the thought that she had killed the person she loved.
Itachi slipped the diamond ring onto her finger and took her into his arms, cradling her softly.
A week later and Itachi and Sakura were back home a newly married couple. They had been married earlier that day by a priest in a small temple, with two of the monks as their witnesses. As soon as they got back home Sakura had carefully placed the scroll with their signatures in their room. The wedding had been small and simple completely opposite to her first wedding to Sasuke which had been large with many guests, and obviously with the Godaime performing the ceremony.
"Are you happy my love?" Itachi asked caressing the naked skin on her back that night in bed.
Sakura snuggled up to him and murmured happily "I havemy Chi-kunand that's all I need or want."
"I can think of something." He said smoothly.
"You can?" Sakura said looking at him surprised.
Itachi gave her one of his special smiles he reserved for her. Sakura felt her breath hitch. It felt good to see him smile, having thought that he would find that particular action near impossible.
"Yep. How about babies?" He stated carefully knowing Sakura was still upset over the death of the twins she had miscarried.
Sakura nibbled on his earlobe. "Someone needs to exercise more if he wants to make a baby." She said playfully.
"Oh really." He said in the low smooth sexy voice Sakura adored. "Well, we'll just see about that."
Rolling on top of her Itachi pushed a strand of hair out of her face, his own long hair hanging down his back.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too." Sakura replied pulling him down to kiss her.
Itachi ran intothe garden where she was sitting the next day.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked him concerned by the worried look on his face.
"They're here."
"Who's here?"
"Your old sensei and the blonde bomb." Itachi replied.
Sakura couldn't help but laugh at the description of Naruto, when she realised what he'd said.
"Itachi don't go out to face them. Please let me handle this."
Itachi pulled her to him, their bodies touching all the way from their foreheads, and noses to their toes.
"I'm not going to let them take you." Itachi said in a passionate voice.
Sakura heard a loud bang. A couple of meters away stood Naruto and Kakashi looking angrier than Sakura had ever seen them before.
"Step away from her Itachi." Naruto said threateningly.
Kakashi put a hand on Naruto's shoulder to calm him, before turning to face Itachi.
"You would be wise to do as he said."
Itachi put an arm protectively around her. "Leave here and never return or I shall make you sorry."
"We'll go once you hand over Sakura-chan." Naruto growled.
"Don't hold your breath my wife isn't going anywhere." Itachi replied.
"You're what?" Naruto shouted.
Sakura gripped Itachi's arm and hand. "You heard me." Itachi said.
Kakashi pushed some hair out of his face though it wasn't in his face to begin with. Naruto shook his head appalled.
"Take that back! Sakura-chan tell me it isn't true!"
Sakura brought her eyes to meet those bright cerulean eyes of her former team-mate, and black eye of her old sensei.
"Its true Naruto." She said softy.
Naruto growled.
"You bastard! How could you do something like that to her after everything she's been through!"
"I think there's more here than meets the eye Naruto. Am I right Sakura?" Kakashi interrupted, having noticed that Sakura had taken hold of Itachi's hand, and not the other way around.
"Stop all this chatter, Itachi I'm going to kill you now once and for all." Naruto roared, preparing his Rasengan.
Sakura stepped in front of Itachi. "Naruto, no!"
Kakashi made to intercept Naruto not wanting Sakura to get hurt.
"Naruto don't! I love him! He didn't force me into anything I chose to marry him." Sakura took a deep breath knowing that this was hurting her friend profoundly.
"Naruto if you want to kill him, you'll have to kill me first."
So what do you think? Please review ! I really have absoloutely no idea as to how to continue this so please help me out suggesting things if you have a idea you think might work!
