[Itachi]
I kept my eyes on Sakura's body as everyone spoke amongst each other. I have a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach when I look at her. I don't quite understand why she holds a grudge against me…Thoughts of Sasuke cross my mind from what Deidara said previously. My brain links the two together as I remember that Sasuke and Sakura used to be part of a team…with Naruto. I wonder how much she knows about my past.
Sakura's body flinched slightly as she regained consciousness. I smirked slightly as her chakra flared very softly. No one else in the room noticed Sakura wake as they were too busy talking with each other.
Her left eye peeked a look at her direct surroundings before she closed it again. How sneaky does she think she is right now? I decided that I wanted to be entertained. I quietly got up from my seat and knelt in front of her and waited for her to open her other eye. The opportunity never came but I could sense her Chakra stirring in preparation to attack, so before she could do this I decided I would speak.
"Don't even try it." my voice cut through the air, making Sakura jump. She opened her eyes in defeat and jumped again before sitting up straight.
"Fuck." She involuntarily spoke as I took a seat next to her. The conversation everyone was having died down quickly, all focus was on Sakura.
"So, Pinkhead." Hidan started as he leaned forwards and rested his arm on his knee. "You gonna apologise for hitting me earlier?"
"No way in hell. That was barely a tap you freakin' pansy." She responded instantly. Deidara let out a chuckle.
"You dare talk down to me?!" Hidan raised his voice. Sakura crossed her arms and rested back into the sofa.
"I don't feel like you're any threat to me. You're about as intimidating as a korma curry." She retorted as I felt her chakra stir.
"You think? I'm immortal, bitch, try m-" Hidan said as he stood up, his scythe ready to strike.
Sakura swiftly got to her feet and walked up to him.
It was a comical sight to see, a 5-foot odd kunoichi looking up at a 6-foot immortal criminal.
"You sure I can try you?" Sakura muttered while turning the right side of her body back. She reared her right arm slowly and kept her left hand covering her other hand as she balled it into a fist.
Hidan was about to make a sarcastic comment as he bent down to her height and opened his mouth to speak. Before any air could escape his mouth, Sakura had, in a very short space of time, exerted an extraordinary amount of Chakra in her fist and punched Hidan right in his eye, causing his body to fly past Kakuzu and smash through one of the walls.
If Hidan wasn't immortal, his brain would have hit the back of his skull with such force, he would be dead.
"OW!" Hidan grumbled while rubbing his head. "Bitch…"
"Ah shit…did you get hurt?" Sakura asked rhetorically before walking up to the sofa and sitting down.
"She got a pretty good hit on you Hidan. You're going to have to be quicker next time." Deidara spoke up.
"I gave her that hit…" Hidan muttered as he walked back to the group, his eye slowly showing a fresh bruise.
"Anyway," Kisame said before walking to the wine rack. "Let's get wasted."
I shot him a puzzling look as he brought back 5 regular bottles of spirits over and 1 smaller bottle of contaminated alcohol with him.
"Yeah! And whoever doesn't drink their bottles has to…" Hidan started as he looked around to find a punishment of some form.
"Cook our meals for the month." Deidara finished. Kisame handed Deidara, Hidan and Kakuzu the normal bottles of Spirits before setting his own aside. Kisame handed me the contaminated bottle before holding the last one out to Sakura.
"Pfft, I'm not stupid." Sakura scoffed as she snatched the bottle from my hand. "Itachi can have that one." She finished. I refrained from smirking at her stupidity while I received the bottle from Kisame.
Everyone opened their bottles and waited for Kisame to start talking.
"So, I'll say now. If you down the bottle in less than 20 seconds you're in for the next round. If you fail-" He started as Sakura started to drink from her bottle.
Well, that was an understatement, she was practically inhaling the stuff. She polished the bottle within 5 seconds.
"Easy…Plus this just tastes like a cocktail…" Sakura muttered, I glanced at Kisame and raised an eyebrow. He looked somewhat concerned as he took a quick swig from his bottle.
"That's the strong stuff." He said, more to inform me than to respond to Sakura.
"Really? You must all be drinking water then." She retorted instantly while dropping her bottle on the floor.
"Okay, scrap the game then…I guess." Deidara said as he leaned back in the chair.
I felt Sakura's chakra change gradually. She instantly became incredibly relaxed and she let her guard down. I could see her fighting to gain control of herself as conversation filled the room.
The room started to grow louder the more everyone drank, I decided that I wouldn't drink, so Kisame took my bottle and started drinking from it.
"So, Sa-ku-ra?" Deidara asked, leaning forwards and resting his arms on his legs. Sakura lazily looked in his direction.
"What?" she responded, attempting to adopt a stern tone.
"Why don't you disable the barrier around your pouch? You said that you'd give us something from there." Deidara questioned.
"Yeah right!" Sakura snorted. "You will kill me if I do that!"
Deidara frowned.
"We could disable the barrier ourselves, we can kill you now if we wanted to."
"Again, yeah right!" Sakura laughed as she struggled to sit forwards. "The only person who can disable the barrier is me. Idiot. Do you know anything about blood bonding barriers? Freaking…douche. Are you even qualified to be a member of the Akatsuki?" Sakura bored on as the pitch of her voice became irregular.
"I don't specialise in being a chicken." Deidara childishly replied. Sakura raised an eyebrow before turning to look at me. It's almost as if she didn't notice me until now. Her emerald eyes narrowed.
"How the hell can someone like you live with yourself?" She started, turning her body to face me as she lifted her legs onto the sofa.
"Please elaborate." I challenged. Sakura inched closer to me.
"You murdered your whole clan…You made Sasuke's heart be filled with nothing but hatred." She whispered. I raised my eyebrow and smirked.
"Why are you so bothered? Your existence means nothing to the Uchiha clan." I replied. Sakura's face turned sour. "Sasuke wouldn't focus on petty things like relationships. I doubt your feelings for him are reciprocated."
Sakura's face suddenly softened as her cheeks started to go red.
"Sakura likes Sasuke? Fucking Uchiha's are nothing special you know Sakura. You should look elsewhere if you want a genuine partnership. Uchiha's tend to be nothing but selfish." Deidara grumbled.
"Shut up!" Sakura shouted. The room became deafeningly quiet. "I don't like Sasuke like that…" Sakura lied while resting the side of her head on the sofa.
Nothing interesting happened from that point onwards. Sakura started to get drowsy.
"I'm taking her to the spare room." I stated as I hooked my arms under her body. I could feel that she disagreed with my actions, nevertheless she accepted what was going on.
"Oooh! Don't do anything naughty in there…" Deidara teased. I turned my head to glare at him. Although rather than making him regret speaking he laughed. I sighed before leaving the room.
"Don't think this means I forgive you…" Sakura muttered into my chest and she nuzzled into me.
"There's nothing I have done that warrants your forgiveness." I responded. I swiftly reached the spare room before dumping Sakura's body on the bed.
"Why are you Uchiha's so cold?" Sakura spoke out as soon as I turned my back on her. I started to walk out of the room. There's nothing she can provide the Akatsuki whist she is in this pitiful state. "I know that you're becoming blind." She suddenly said. I stopped walking and turned to face Sakura.
"My vision doesn't-" I started.
"Be quiet." She snapped. I started walking towards her slowly.
"I don't think-" I started to warn Sakura as she stood up from the bed.
"Shut up, I don't care-"
I took Sakura by the neck and pinned her to the bed.
"Just because my eyesight is slightly damaged, doesn't mean I can't see your weakness." I stated. Fear consumed Sakura's face as I used my free hand to stroke her cheek. She completely froze. I moved my right hand from her neck to her hand and lowered my head closer to her.
"D-don't come any closer," Sakura stuttered, her face growing redder by the second. I smirked before my impulses took over my rational mind.
My face naturally inched closer to hers, I could feel her breath against my chin as I stared into her eyes.
The next thing I know I feel her plump lips against my own. Tasting the cherry flavoured lip balm she must have used, I pulled her bottom lip into my mouth and bit into it softly.
I reluctantly pulled myself away from her and released her from my grasp. I rushed to leave the room…what the hell did I do that for.
