solace
001. shelter


In Konoha, Sakura was afraid. She was afraid the villagers would fear her and look down upon her once they knew her secret. She was afraid the Hokage would execute her once she discovered her rendezvous' with an S-class criminal.

With Naruto, Sakura was guilty. He would shower her with grins and encouragement—but what was it that she was doing behind his back?

With Ino, Sakura was anxious. If she found out, she'd forgive her, but…she'd never look at her the same way again.

With the rest of the Rookie 9, she was terrified. She would've broken all of their hearts in one go—and the last thing she ever, ever wanted was to see them glare down upon her, or them lying on the ground, dead.

But with Itachi, she found solace. When he kissed her, she found relief. When he whispered to her, she found comfort. When she was in his arms…she found shelter.


A/N: I love you all. Wonderful, wonderful reviews. You guys make me smile. :)

To LitoxShorty: Well, it isn't certain that she was killed. I ended it there, so you, as a reader, could decide what happens next, or what it was supposed to mean. So if you wanted her dead, then by all means, she's dead. XD

Somehow, it doesn't feel like I used this prompt to its fullest…(Sorry, xx. false - deception!)
