All these chapters will have music attached to them, I'm very heavily influenced by it.
This one is Liquor by Chris Brown.

Their first meeting had been nothing special; nothing one might expect from a legendary shinobi, and a near legendary kunochi.

She had been in her favourite bar having a few (several) drinks with her friends and he had been doing the same. The two groups eventually joined together for a few friendly games of pool, and although Sakura enjoyed Shisui's flirtations, she continued to glance subtly at Itachi. Sure, the alcohol was making her a bit more brazen and allowing a few more unfiltered thoughts, but there was no denying he was an attractive man. Even his posture was sexy, the way he stood tall and walked, it was obvious he was comfotable being assertive and Sakura had always found that attractive. When she watched him splay out over the pool table with his cue in hand, her eyes may have lingered a little more than they should have. She watched him break and took another sip of her apple martini before grabbing her cue for her turn.

She was very aware of the way the boys were taking glances of her sprawled out over the table, but she couldn't help to think of Itachi watching her. She took her shot, sunk a ball, and smirked before getting up and sinking another one.

Kiba let out a loud whistle.

"Save some for the rest of us Sakura! How is it the more you drink the better you are at this game?"

She smirked, took the final sip of her martini, and sunk another ball.

Everyone had left except for Itachi and Shisui, and Sakura knew it was time to call it a night and go home.

"Itachi, why don't you walk our Sakura-chan home? You've had how many drinks Sakura?"

Sakura all but snorted.

"Shisui, I think I can handle walking myself home. Just because I'm tipsy doesn't mean I can't beat people up you know!"

Her flushed cheeks indicated she was indeed tipsy, but the smirk on her face made Itachi think she really could still defend herself if needed on her walk home.

"It's alright Haruno-san, my mother would be mortified if she found I let you walk home alone."

Shisui laughed, also clearly intoxicated and enjoying himself.

"See Sakura-chan? Itachi must walk you home to preserve his honour!"

He and Sakura burst out laughing together, clearly enjoying teasing the stoic Itachi, whose lips were now slightly downcast in displeasure. He walked towards their jackets as the pinkette and Shisui continued to cackle. Itachi slipped his jacket on, then walked towards Sakura to help her put her own jacket on. He held out the sleeves for her to slip into and the intoxicated kunochi unhurriedly stuck her arms through, still giggling with Shisui as he was wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Do you also need me to walk you home Shisui?"

The question stunned the intoxicated Shisui and after a few seconds, Sakura understood the joke and once again, burst out laughing. Shisui grinned and shook his head.

"Of course not! I can still flash step drunk! Watch me!"

And with that, Sakura and Itachi were left alone to exit the building.

They walked together through the almost empty streets in a comfortable silence. The night was dark but the streets were flooded with moonlight, and the hushed sounds of summer insects filled the air. Sakura could feel the effects of the alcohol but she was able to walk straight and keep composed in front of the more serious Uchiha. She had actually been surprised to see him out that evening, he almost never joined his cousin's group for a night out to unwind. She noticed he appeared to be able to hold his liquor, but then she couldn't remember ever seeing him drink more than a few drinks that night.

It wasn't long until they reached her small place, and Sakura turned to face Itachi at the door.

"Even though you didn't have to, thanks for accompanying me home Uchiha-san. Can I offer you a cup of tea as thanks?"

Itachi thought about her question for a moment. Thought about how she had been subtly eyeing him for much of the evening, and what might happen if he did indeed go into her place with her. Whether it was from the alcohol or it being a while since he had last been with a woman, he couldn't help himself from thinking about what this might turn into. Sakura Haruno was no doubt beautiful and had indescribable allure to her. He couldn't deny being attracted to her and he was pretty sure she found him attractive too. Neither of them were innocent teenagers anymore, and before he could stop himself he answered.

"Sure."

He nodded and turned to follow her into her house. If Sakura was surprised she didn't show it. She pulled her keys out of her pocket, probably a little slower than usual, unlocked the door and opened it for the both of them.

Itachi immediately noticed it was a simple but cozy townhouse. Sakura was obviously tidy as all her jackets and shoes had been put away in the closet and there wasn't anything laying out on the floor. Her place also had a lovely, feminine smell to it that he couldn't quite pinpoint. Hazelnuts maybe?

They both removed their shoes and Sakura directed him to the couch in the living room. He sat down facing the kitchen where Sakura walked into to prepare their tea.

"Do you have a preference? I probably have it."

He could see her opening a cupboard and was impressed to see many different types of tea neatly filling the shelf.

"I'll drink whatever you're having, I'm not picky thanks."

He watched her as she prepared the kettle, picked out a flavour of tea, and reached up for two mugs. His ebony eyes were entranced as she reached up and her shirt went with it, exposing a small amount of creamy skin and her firm behind in the tight pants she was wearing. He could feel his stomach churning and decided to be impulsive, just for one night.

At the sound of the kettle whistling, Itachi stood up and made his way to the kitchen. He saw Sakura reaching for a tea appropriate for the later hour.

"You know it's too bad it isn't morning, I have a lot of great morning teas, you'd probably like them."

Itachi walked right up behind her and when she turned around, he startled her by placing his hands on the counter behind her and trapped the pinkette where she stood. His dark eyes dropped to her lips and as he spoke and Sakura wondered how his voice could sound so raspy and smooth at the same time.

"Are you saying I should stay to the morning, Sakura?"

She looked up at him with surprised eyes, but Itachi could also see a glint of something mischievous in her apple green eyes. Her frame was much smaller than his own and he felt an urge to envelope her, to claim her as his for the night. Sakura cocked her head ever so slightly before replying to him with eye sparkling in amusement.

"I didn't realize you wanted to stay til the morning Itachi."

He could smell the faint smell of alcohol on her breath still but he knew she could smell the same from him. The Anbu Captain leaned forward bringing his face inches from hers, enjoying her smell and the warmth from her body.

"And what will we be doing until morning Sakura?"

She felt a jolt of adrenaline rush through her in anticipation of exactly what was about to happen, if she were to let it. Her lips unconsciously parted open and Itachi shamelessly dropped his eyes once again to adore them. Sakura brought her hands up to the Uchiha's chest and slowly raked her hands down his front, causing Itachi to grunt softly. She pushed her fingertips into his hot, well defined torso and felt him tense under her fingers. When her mischievous hands reached the bottom of his shirt she ever so carefully dipped her fingertips into the front of his pants and pulled him closer.

Oh she was going to let him do what her body was anticipating. It had been a while since she had the touch of a man, and Itachi Uchiha was drop dead sexy.

"Tell me you're not a traditional man Uchiha, you're too gorgeous to be boring in bed."

He raised an eyebrow sharply at the pinkette before walking her into the edge of the counter, surprised at the change in her composure. He had always been unsure how his crude cousin had gotten along so well with the well-mannered Hokage's apprentice, but he was beginning to realize he didn't know her all that well. Either way, he removed his hands from the counter and onto her hips to lift her onto the counter. Sakura willingly obliged and as she sat, moving her hands from his waist band to his shoulders as she locked her legs around the Uchiha's hips and pulled him flush against her. The heat of their bodies felt intoxicating and Itachi found himself beginning to harden.

Their faces were so close together and all she wanted was for him to kiss her senseless. Images of Itachi holding her hands above her head and moving in an out of her flashed through her head and made her flush. Her core was hot and she was sure it wouldn't take long for her to be ready. Sakura moved a hand to the back of his head and looked into his smokey, lust-filled eyes.

"Itachi."

She whispered in a low pur and it pushed Itachi over the edge.

He snatched her jaw in one hand and brought her mouth to his in a hungry kiss.

New story! This will be installed in short-ish chapters like this one, and will be glimpses of Sakura and Itachi together. No real storyline, just progression from this point. Next chapter should be up within a week, it's half written already.
