Chapter 6:
They talked at the balcony. The balcony faces the garden, and you can smell the sweet fragrance the flowers provided. Sakura joined their conversation as her father wishes.
"So King Itachi how's your journey?" King Saito started the conversation.
"Long and tiring, but its worth all the while," he said it at the same time looking at Sakura,
And then suddenly a soldier came,
"My king I'm sorry for interrupting, but the countrymen are here to pay their tribute to you…"
Looking at Itachi, "I am very sorry King Itachi, but…"
"No need to apologize King Saito… I understand,"
"Thank you King Itachi… would you mind being accompanied by my daughter?
"Not at all King Saito" Itachi answered.
They walked in the garden, no one dared to start a conversation but Itachi ended up being the one who can't stand the silence.
"Why…"
Sakura didn't dare to look into his eyes scared that he might read her thoughts,
"It was necessary Itachi…"
"Kind to elaborate… Sakura…"
"Being with you and to love you is a complete mistake Itachi… before I met you I was engaged to Kabuto…"
"That's why you ran away… am I right?"
"Yes…"
"Because you didn't love him and the only thing you want is to marry someone you love…"
"Yes…"
And then all of a sudden Sakura vomited,
Itachi queried, "Sakura are you pregnant?"
"…" Sakura has no guts to tell him everything
"Silence means yes… well am I going to be happy or not…" it was a statement rather than a query.
" Do you want me to kidnap you so we could be together or tell your father that, that is my child… or…"
"Stop Itachi, I don't want you to do any further damage…"
"Are you planning to marry Kabuto?"
"Yes…"
"Why?"
"Why don't you tell me… WHY you are here in the first place?"
Sakura needs to hate Itachi in order for her to forget their affair or maybe her love for him, its true that her feelings emerged to the point of making out with him, but the truth is, she felt something for him the first time she saw him,
"I'm here to claim what is rightfully mine… I'm here to claim you…"
"Itachi, you traveled this far just to claim me? Am I that important to you? Or you just want me in your bed again?"
"Sakura, when I said that I love you I mean it, with all my heart. When you left, I tried to put you out of my mind, but I can't, you are already a part of me, a part that I cannot afford to lose."
"Itachi… you're such an obstinate man aren't you?
"There you are…" Kabuto appeared out of nowhere.
Kabuto queried, "Well I'm quite taken aback to see you here, King Itachi, having some difficulties?"
"I am here to discuss some matters with King Saito…" Itachi answered with ease.
'He's good in telling lies, really, practice makes it perfect' Sakura said to herself
"I see, so are you enjoying yourself?" Kabuto's word are indicating something,
""What do you mean… with the company of Princess Sakura? To tell you the truth… she's a little naïve in entertaining guests…"
"Think so…"
Things starting to heat up between these two. But still Itachi remained in his composure. It looks like Kabuto is into something that is called 'Jealousy' or being "Irritated" fits well. Irritated because Sakura is with another man or alone with another man.
A small voice tells Kabuto to kiss Sakura, so he did it. He kissed Sakura almost possessively but with mildness. Itachi tried to ignore it but the fact that this vicious man is kissing Sakura, can't be compromised. He felt the urge to tear Kabuto limb from limb, but when he saw the face of Sakura, he shall have his revenge in some time.
"Sorry if we almost make out in front of you…" Kabuto said mischievously
"Its far less than what you think" Itachi answered his provoking statement.
"Really…" Kabuto almost on his killer stance but again a still voice tells him that breaking his alliance with Itachi because of this girl is not a good option.
"So want to have coffee?" offered Kabuto,
'Chickened out Kabuto?' Itachi said to himself,
"Well sounds good"
Itachi plans to put some poison in Kabuto's drink or just invite him to some place and kill him mercilessly, but killing a royalty means having war, he will not allow his child and its mother to live in an environment of war and hatred. He must solve his and Sakura's problem in a peaceful manner.
