I don't own Naruto - VZ

Itachi woke slowly, still weak from his earlier healing session with the pinkette. His lips tilted upwards at the memory of last night. His dark eyes scanned the room, finding nothing out of the ordinary; he let himself drift off to sleep once more. Yet before he could succumb to darkness, something caught his attention. Something…. soft…. no, not a something, a someone.

Itachi glanced at the body in his arms, seeing a head of pink hair, he was no longer alarmed. Having remembered the night before. The Uchiha relaxed and let the tension leave his body.

However, the girl within his embrace shifted.

Itachi deduced her next course of action was due to the cold, rainy weather. Maybe it was because of the lack of blankets, although there were quite a lot of them. For Sakura ended up clutching his form closer to hers, bringing their torsos to flush against each other. At first, he was shocked. The body that he held was not the same one he held just hours ago. It wasn't that of a child's but a grown woman's.

Itachi couldn't be sure though, all he could see was the top of her head. And so, he peeled the covers off her slowly. Only to reveal Sakura…..all grown up.

The dark haired man was so startled that he almost let out a gasp, instead he settled for his eyes to widen at the sight before him. And what a sight it was.

The pinkette looked so peaceful, her short pink hair surrounding her head like a halo. Itachi allowed his fingers to trace the curve of her neck, and then he moved on to her pink lashes that fanned out above her graceful cheekbones. Afterwards, he let his thumb ghost over her lips.

Despite the temptation to feel those lips even more thoroughly, he continued his inspection.

Dark eyes roved over her figure, finding even more proof that she was no longer a child.

What was this feeling? Itachi wondered, as he let his gaze wander her body. No, his gaze was not lecherous. In fact, it was admiring. He noticed that Sakura was fit and the very embodiment of a trained kunoichi. Flat abdomen, slender legs and….The rather soft swell of her breasts pressing against his chest. If Itachi were a lesser man, he would've ravished her there and then. Regardless of the fact that Kisame might be nearby.

Now that he observed her more closely, the realization hit him like a ton of bricks.

She was not fully clothed, well…She used to be. If he remembered correctly from last night, He could recall her being fully dressed.

The Uchiha concluded it was thanks to her growth spurt just recently.

How did he not notice her unclad form was beyond him.

He didn't know if he should be thankful for her state of undress or he should be troubled that she is exposed like this. It elicited feelings in him that should not be there in the first place. No, he had no need of the comfort of a woman's body. He never did, but here he was, lusting after the slumbering girl-no, woman in his arms.

The medic-nin' s clothes (which Kisame had thoughtfully bought for her in the nearby village a while back) have been stretched beyond repair, the fabric were obviously meant for a ten year old body, not an adult's.

Her collar was torn, giving Itachi quite an eyeful if he dared to glimpse the flesh there. Not only that, but her skirt was ripped at both sides. Leaving her legs bare. The dark haired man almost groaned at the sight of her toned midriff, the material split into two. One to cover Sakura's chest and the other hid her from the hips to her upper thighs.

He had never felt so tempted before, just holding the scantily clad woman gave him such suggestive thoughts. Which was highly improper, especially since she held him in a tight embrace without her even knowing it. Itachi could feel every curve, outline and swell of her body. It would be inappropriate and completely unacceptable if he let this go on any further. Disregarding his want and need to carry on holding her this close, Itachi prepared himself to push her away. Gently removing Sakura's firm grip on his shoulders, he moved her away from himself. Making sure not to jostle her awake.

What the Uchiha did not know, was that Sakura Haruno was a cuddler.

Needless to say, she didn't let him push her away that easily. If anything, she made it much more difficult for the poor man. The pinkette grasped his form and wrapped both her legs around his waist. And it didn't just stop there, She pushed and pushed until her weight was on top of him. The end result was her straddling him, and nuzzling his neck like a cat in heat.

Itachi was very much conflicted.

Let this go on...or wake Sakura up.

She clung to him tighter, bringing their bodies even closer than before, if that was even possible.

...

Oh yes, he was very much conflicted.

But before he can finally come to a decision whether to wake her up (since pushing her away just made things much more difficult) or to enjoy the moment while it lasted. Sakura's eyelids fluttered open, revealing a stunning shade of green.

"Itachi?"
