Sakura tried to turn to look back at Sasori but Madara was having none of it. He had a death grip on her waist and was ushering her through the crowd. They stopped in front of Itachi. Madara gave her a gentle push and she stumbled forward a little, Itachi raised his arms to balance her and drew her back up against his chest, looking over her head to Madara.

"What is it, uncle?" Itachi scanned the room, eyes alert.

"Your future wife was consorting with the enemy unbeknownst to her." Madara gave Itachi a look.

"I'm not his." Sakura began but was interrupted by Shisui.

"He is here?" Shisui began to look around scanning the crowd like Itachi.

"I am going to alert Fugaku, kami knows why none of us knew, it makes us look like fools!" Madara clenched his fist and slammed it into the wood paneling of the bar cracking the solid oak.

Sakura's eyes went wide, incredible.

"Itachi, have Sasuke take Sakura home, I want you here with the rest of the team as soon as she is out the door," Madara said firmly, then bending to kiss Sakura on the cheek he turned and left to find Obito.

"Itachi what's going on, is Madara looking for Sasori, what did he do?" Sakura was so confused.

"You know Sasori of the Red Sand?" Itachi said with surprise.

"Well I wouldn't say I know him but we have art class together every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. He asked me out for coffee the other day but Sasuke drove up and took me home, then we came here to Konoha." Sakura was starting to panic, who was Sasori?

"Sasori of the Red Sand is the only son of Akasuna no Dokuhebi and international criminal who dealt in arms, drugs and human trafficking. Uncle Madara brought him in. Sasori is the one thought to have killed Uncle Izuna, but it didn't hold up in court." Itachi had her by the hand and was looking through the crowds for Sasuke.

"What, that is impossible, he is in my art class for heaven's sake. He can't be some kind of international criminal." She thought this was being blown way out of proportion here.

Itachi stopped and took her by the shoulders, "Sakura, you have been around the Uchiha for years, you know who we are, what our family does, we know he is an international criminal. Just because he hasn't been caught doesn't make him innocent, it makes him more dangerous." Itachi resumed looking for Sasuke.

The Uchiha, one of the two oldest families in Konoha, the elite military force of the Fire country, special forces. Yes, she knew who they were.

She, however, was a nobody, Sakura Haruno college student, no money, no status, no clan, nothing. Why would Sasori talk to her? Oh, yes, she had walked in on the arm of the Heir to the Uchiha Clan, Madara never having settled down to marry and have a son, it was left to Itachi. She wasn't even officially adopted by them though, not on paper, but where it counted, yes, she was.

Sasuke was running toward them, "Are you sober enough to take Sakura home?" Itachi asked him.

"Yes." I'll get your truck be right back, don't move." Sasuke ran off with Itachi's keys.

"Sakura, go home with Sasuke, the rest of the family will…" Itachi never got to finish there was an explosion from the other room.

"Stay here!" Itachi ran off in the other direction toward the explosion.

"Champaign miss?" a waiter was offering her a glass of champagne, she took it with a nod and drank deeply. The glass was finished by the time Sasuke came back to get her.

"The truck is running out front come on let's get home." He took her hand and ushered her out of the gallery.

Lazy half hooded eyes watched her run out of the gallery's main floor with the Uchiha brat. Sasori slipped out the back door and into his black SUV to follow them.

Sakura sat in the truck's passenger seat adrenaline surging throughout her body. She hoped everyone was okay. She should have stayed to help. Madara had insisted she leave though. Itachi may be the heir but Madara was the head of the clan still.

Sasuke merged onto the freeway glancing every now and then to Sakura to see if she was okay. She knew what his family was, what they did, what they were involved in but she had never seen it first hand. He was worried seeing this side of his family might scare her away. His parents and his uncles had tried to keep the younger generation secluded as possible from the realities of their family, particularly the women. Only when Sasuke had turned 13 was he allowed to be part of the clan meetings, that was when he found out what it really meant to be an Uchiha.

Sasuke had missed her terribly when she had moved. He was trying desperately to get her back. He felt he had been doing a good job so far. She looked so beautiful tonight, he had drunk glass after glass of champagne to keep from touching her and had overdone it a bit.

They pulled up to the main gate of the compound and he punched in the code. Sasuke noticed she had fallen asleep. The gate slid open then the other gate opened, then the last one lifted up and he drove the truck through and up to the house. He ran around the truck to open her door for her and she all but fell out of her seat. What was wrong with her?

He lifted her up in his arms and carried her inside the house, upstairs to his room and laid her on his bed. He sat down next to her tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear. She looked so beautiful with her hair done up, in that fairies dress, so sexy. He cleared his throat and coughed.

"Sakura?" He patted her cheek a bit.

"Hm Sasuke?" She managed to get out if a bit slurred.

"Sakura? You okay? Are you drunk?" He patted her face again.

She rolled over on his bed and stretched out then curled up a bit on her side and hummed into the pillow smiling.

"Sakura, are you feeling okay ?" He ran his hand across her bare shoulder, she was so soft.

"I'm good." Came muffled from the pillow.

Sasuke got up and took off his suit coat and tie and hung them on his chair. He started to undo his cufflinks when she moaned out loud. He stopped and looked at her. She had her legs crossed on her side and the heavy silk had fallen from her thigh and back off her ass leaving the full length of her legs bare to him. Her sparkling beaded chest glittered as she breathed heavily. Was she dreaming?

Sasuke set his cufflinks down and went over to sit beside her on his bed. He leaned over her and stopped dead. Her hair had come down on the side and was spread out in haphazard curls across his pillow, her pink lips puffy from her biting them as she was doing now and her legs lay bare and rubbing together. He grew hard just watching her. She bit her lip and made a low noise in her throat that had his hands on her quicker than he could think at what a horrible idea it was. He had never been able to resist her.

Sasuke had lifted her head up and kissed her mouth lightly once and she pressed herself into him her tongue sliding across his lips into his mouth. She had never kissed him like that before. His mouth went dry as she wantonly pressed herself up against him making small mewling noises in her throat. He ran his hands up and down the sides of her body then up under her dress pulling at her underwear.

He crawled on top of her as he slid her underwear down and off her legs, taking her hands in his and pressing them one on each side of her head, he kissed her and ground into her body.

"Sasuke." she moaned. "Sasuke please, I want you, fuck me."

Sasuke ripped his cock from his pants and lifted her ass off the bed and thrust up inside her, she arched her back and moaned, he gripped her hips and ground up into her.

"Sakura, I love you. Ah you feel so good." He kissed her neck and lifted her legs up by her knees and thrust in then pulled out to slam back into her again.

"Sakura I'm sorry, I'm not going to last much longer, you're too tight baby." He pulls out and pushes his cock back up into her. "Ummm Gh. Sakura I'm coming please, I'm sorry. I have wanted you for so long." He pulls out and slams back into her one more time gripping her legs up and back around him he pumps his cum deep into her moaning her name rocking back and up then collapses rolling to her side with his eyes closed.

He reaches his hand out to her and takes her hand in his and kisses it. He pulls himself up to a sitting position and covers her with his blanket. He kisses her mouth and smoothes her hair back out of her face then walks to his bathroom. He starts a shower, strips and gets in.

Sasuke gets out of the shower and checks on Sakura. She is still sleeping soundly. He lifts her dress and cleans her up with a small washrag, picks her up and takes her into her room and puts her on her bed. He smoothes her dress down, covers her with a blanket and closes the door to her room, leaving it open just a bit like usual.

He goes back into his room and lays on his bed, it smells like her. He pushes his face into his pillow and inhales. "Sakura."

"Enjoying yourself?" Itachi asks him from the door to his bedroom.

"Arck!" Sasuke jumps up from his bed. "I wasn't doing anything." He stutters.

"Right." Itachi smirks and walks toward Sakura's room.

Itachi cracks the door open a little more and peeks in. She is still asleep so he shuts the door and walks back to Sasuke's room.

"Did you guys make it home ok? No interference?" Itachi asked him.

"Everything went fine," Sasuke said.

"Something happened, what happened?" Itachi can't figure it out but Sasuke is acting differently. "Tell me."

"Ugh, I still love her Itachi, and I know you do too. Mother had her step out with her tonight. She wants Sakura to marry you." Sasuke said all these things as statements, not questions.

Itachi came into his room and sat on the bed opposite to Sasuke. "I do love her, I know you do too. Mother wants her to marry an Uchiha, it doesn't matter which one of us she chooses to mom, she wouldn't mind if she chose Shisui."

"Let her chose little brother because if we push her, she won't choose any Uchiha and we will be sure to lose her for good." Itachi patted his brother on the shoulder. And left his room.

"Except I am the only Uchiha that has ever been inside of her or came into her," Sasuke spoke quietly and smiled into his pillow that smelled like Sakura.

Itachi was waiting for a call from his father with the all clear. They had two teams looking for Sasori and none of them had found one clue as to his whereabouts.

Itachi didn't like what Madara had told him. Sakura had an art class with Sasori, they had met before tonight and Sasori had asked her out for coffee.

Itachi found himself pacing and his pacing had found him in front of Sakura's room. Itachi opened the door and looked inside. He slipped in and closed the door behind him. She had kicked the covers and was flung sideways on the bed. He leaned over her body to pull up and straighten her covers when she turned and kissed him moaning into his mouth.

He leaned back and away from her but she wrapped her arms around his neck and was sucking on his bottom lip. He closed his eyes and kissed her back, rolling his tongue around her mouth and cupping her face. His hands ran over her bare shoulders down her chest over her sequined breasts to her waist. She moved her body into his touch and moaned into his mouth again. Itachi stilled and pushed her back a little to look into her eyes. They were closed. He leaned forward to sniff her breath and she tried to kiss him again.

"Oh shit." He picked her up and ran to the garage.

Sasuke ran out of his room and into the garage just as Itachi was strapping Sakura into his truck.

"What are you doing?" He asked Itachi in surprise.

"She needs to get to the hospital, she has been drugged." Itachi goes to close the door when he catches sight of Sasuke's face and stops dead.

"Little brother no, please tell me you didn't take advantage of her again!" Itachi's voice was roaring by the time the sentence ended.

"I, well, she wanted to," Sasuke said weakly.

"She is fucking drugged you fucking idiot!" Itachi slammed his fist into the side of Sasuke's face knocking him out.

Itachi shuts the door to the passenger side of his truck and backs out of the garage leaving Sasuke on the ground.

Itachi pulls his cell out of his pocket and calls his dad to let him know Sakura has been drugged and that he is taking her to the hospital. Itachi shakes his head he can't fucking believe Sasuke. He should have known she was poisoned like Itachi had. Yes he wanted to kiss her, yes he wanted to bed her, but damn it, she wasn't in her right mind and he could tell that, why couldn't his brother!

A dark SUV was coming up fast on his left. Itachi speeds up and calls his dad again.

"I'm being followed, nondescript black SUV. We are at Raku and Akimichi street, ten minutes from the Hospital.' Itachi says into the phone and hangs up.

"Shit." The SUV has sped up alongside of them and the window is rolled down.

"Sasori." Itachi breathes.

"I just want the girl, no harm needs to come to your family Uchiha, just give me the girl," Sasori calls to Itachi.

"No." Itachi cuts the wheel, both vehicles topple off the side of the hill and rolls once then twice to the bottom.

Itachi looks over at Sakura, she is a bit tousled but ok. Itachi's head hurts and his vision is going fuzzy, he can see lights upside down in the distance. He hears someone swearing by the passenger door to his truck.

"Next time Uchiha, you can't watch her 24/7" Sasori drawls and the pounding of feet can be heard as he runs away.

"Sakura," Itachi says and passes out.
