Disclaimer: Yeah we already know. I do not own Naruto. I only own the plot and my OC Hana.

Hana stared at Shisui as they drove past the numerous green lights that lit up the night. They hadn't spoken since they left the restaurant, leaving his father behind. The lavender haired girl glanced over at his stiff frame and bit her lip. She wanted to talk to him, she almost needed too. His father was a douche and to be completely honest she was somewhat out of line with all the things that she had just said to the Uchiha man.
"Uh." She mumbled as she fiddled with her nail polish. She had just got a manicure and now here she was chipping flecks of paint off her once perfect nails. Damn nervous habits. She guessed it was better than biting her nails. Although she had to admit she did that sometimes also, not nearly as bad as some people though. She had heard that some people went as far as biting their nails down to the quick. Leaving only bloody nubs.
"Don't." Shisui grumbled not bothering to look at her pale face. Rolling her eyes at his behavior it felt like she was reading a fanfiction where the guy was all mean and grim and the girl never spoke up because she was of course that timid character that never stood up for herself. She'd kill if she was ever a character in one of those rotten stories.
"Bite me." She retorted and inwardly smirked to herself as his face twisted away from the road and focused on her.
"Excuse me?"
"God Shisui. You are acting like a bitch. Your dad is a dick. What was the whole reason for me to come? Because you had to have known that I would open my mouth." She said matter-of-factly.
"You opened your big mouth to bitch about the things I do." He exclaimed accidently swerving the car and making an oncoming car honk their horn at them. Hana felt her eyes go wide as she grabbed onto the car dashboard.
"Are you fucking crazy?" She yelled "Pull over. I'm walking."
Clenching his jaw he did as she asked and swerved over to the curb and unlocked the doors. Hana got out of the car and yanked off her heels that she had been wearing for the occasion. She sure as hell wasn't going to get a blister for this asshole. Slamming the car door behind her she quickly started to walk down the street, rolling her eyes as he sped past her she grabbed her cellphone out of her purse to call her best friend to come pick her ass up.

Sakura woke up to her phone going off. Or well it wasn't exactly going off, more like vibrating with a vengeance. She stared sleepily at the phone for a few minutes before fumbling with it and pressing the green answer button.
"Hello?" She groaned as she fell into a cold pillow. She really needed sleep. She had school the next day and she had loads of crap to do before the last day of school arrived. With it only being about three days away she couldn't help but feel excited and somewhat nervous for it. It would be the last time that she stepped foot into the boring place. Well that is for at least two months and then she would be right back in the halls ghosting from class to class hoping that the school day would end quickly so that she could hurry to the dance studio so that she could work on her treasured hobby more.
"Saki?" A muffled voice said through the receiver. Sakura scrunched her forehead and rolled over on the bed so that she was laying on her stomach.
"Hana?" She answered before pushing herself up from her bed and pulling on some pants and shoes.
"Are you still in town?" The muffled voice asked somewhat nervously.
"Where are you? I'll be there as quick as I can be." Sakura answered hastily as she snuck into the kitchen and grabbed her mom's keys that were lying on the kitchen counter. She would probably get in so much trouble for this but she wasn't the type of person to leave her best friend and family member stranded.
!
Shisui ran his hand through his thick dark hair as he barged into his cousin's apartment and let himself fall onto his couch.
"Knocking would have been nice. Considering you don't live here."
The short haired Uchiha glanced up from where he was staring idly into a wall and watched as his cousin glided into the dim living area.
"Hn." He responded and turned to stare at the ceiling to brood.
Itachi shook his head and sat down in the arm chair as he watched his cousin's emotions flash by on his face. He was one of the only Uchiha's that you could always tell what they were thinking. He was pretty sure that he was the only one that was born without the ability to hide emotions. They both sat in silence for a few moments before Shisui shot up from his position and started to rant only to cause Itachi to shake his head. He had known his cousin for so long he knew exactly how he worked. But he usually wasn't so easily worked up. He quirked an eyebrow as his cousin yelled about something that he almost couldn't comprehend. If he was actually trying to listen then he probably would know what he was saying. But that took a lot of energy and unless it was about something he truly cared about he didn't really want to bother with the mess.
Getting more comfortable in his chair he sat there for the rest of the night listening to his cousin rant about his new dance student's cousin and how she was the most insufferable girl that he had ever met. He couldn't help but think that his cousin had finally met his match.
!
Sakura groaned as she shoved open the apartment door that she was slowly becoming accustomed too. She had walked all the way over here mostly because of the sleeping lavender haired girl that was currently sleeping peacefully on her bed. She had drove all the way into Tokyo in her mother's car to pick up her favorite cousin who had been shivering in a small dress on the side of a busy street. Her heels had been dangling off her fingertips when Sakura had drove up and unlocked the doors. The first thing that her cousin did once she climbed into the warm car was start to cry. It was because of that alone was why Sakura decided that she needed to have a talk with the little Uchiha bastard that she knew her cousin was slowly becoming smitten with.
Kicking off her flats, Sakura rubbed her arms and made her way into the dark apartment. She had been here plenty of times. Of course most of those times she was lying naked in the back room screaming the long haired Uchiha's name repeatedly. She was actually surprised that the neighbors hadn't called the police on more than one occasion. The boy seriously had lips of an angel, the things that his tongue could do could make her body wither in ecstasy within seconds. Bypassing the kitchen she made her way into the living area. She had a pretty good feeling that the guy that she was looking for would be at his cousins apartment. Especially considering what had happened a few days ago when her cousin and the dark haired boy had barged into the apartment going on about how Hana had broken him and his girlfriend up. It had been news for Sakura, the girlfriend bit. But a part of her didn't really care, it wasn't her problem. She wasn't with anyone. But she could feel for the girl that he had been cheated on. She could feel her pain considering she had went through the very same thing not even over a year ago.
Standing over the sleeping form of the Uchiha that she had been looking for, she couldn't help but smile wickedly at his peaceful face. She turned on her heel and walked into the kitchen and rummaged through the freezer, and walked back into the living area with several ice cubes slowly melting in her hands.
With a grin she shoved the cubs down the front of his shirt and stepped back as she watched his eyes pop open and him jump off the couch screaming. This is what he gets. One for messing with her cousin and best friend, and the other for cheating like a scum.
Letting out a breath of relief as the ice fell out of his shirt, he looked wildly around the room his alert eyes landing on the pinkette. Sakura smiled a sweet smile and uttered the words that no guy ever wants to hear.
"We need to talk."
!
Itachi woke up to a shrill scream and his first thought was that somehow his cousins ex-fiancé had broken into his apartment and somehow castrated his cousin. But then as his brain slowly began to wake up and he realized that his cousin's ex-fiancé was a loud and annoying female. Which the only person screaming at this point was his cousin, but he was sure that if it had been Sena then he would have heard her even shriller scream. Groaning, he whipped the blankets off his half naked form. He had class to teach today and he also had to travel home and visit his parents. He had stayed up all night listening to his cousin bitch about the lavender haired girl and in all honesty all he wanted to do was sleep and whoever had broken into his apartment was going to be in for a world of pain.
Itachi was not a morning person. Not what so ever.
With his fingers pinching the bridge of his nose he walked down the hall but stopped short before entering the living area to investigate when he heard a familiar female voice.
"Honestly Shisui, why do you have to be such a dick to her? I had to drive all the way from Konoha in my mother's car mind you, which she probably thinks is stolen right now to pick her up on the side of the road. And when she got into my car, guess what she did. She cried! Hana never cries! She laughs at people who cry. So whatever the fuck you did to her you need to apologize and try to work shit out."
Itachi raised an eyebrow. She had drove all the way from Konoha, he hadn't even thought that she was capable of driving, but then again if his brother could then she could. They were after all in the same class. Leaning against the hallway wall, Itachi continued to listen to see if his cousin would say anything. But knowing his older cousin he was pretty sure that he was just staring blankly at the young pink haired girl. She really didn't understand what had been going on. Shisui was livid at her cousin. She had broken up a carefully matched couple who had been dating each other for several years. They were matched so that they would be married to one another. But with Hana moving in and opening her mouth and breaking them up Itachi was positive that his cousin didn't know what to do with himself or with his father.
-Flashback-
Shisui paced the room with his hand tangled into his hair. He had been doing the same thing for the past half hour. He couldn't believe what had just happened. He had actually left her on the side of the road. He had never done anything of the sort. But what she had said was completely out of line. And because of those words he would now have to explain to his father that she didn't mean any of it. She had no idea that she had just insulted one of the most powerful men in Japan. Falling into the chair he glared at his cousin who was sitting across the room watching him quietly.
"Itachi she drives me crazy! Do you know what she did? She stood up to my father, she cussed out my father. No one has ever done that? What am I supposed to do now? How the fuck can I face my father. I took her there so that she could explain to him why Sena and I broke up. But then he opened his mouth and yeah."
"She cussed out Uncle?" Itachi asked coolly.
"She did!" Shisui hissed. He honestly didn't know what to do. At first he had been into the lavender haired girl. With her spunky attitude and quick wit, but he didn't really get why she had to go and ruin crap for him. But even with it all he knew that he would still have to deal with her, he would still have to apologize. He just didn't exactly know when he was going too. He didn't like to seem weak. And it was instilled in him at a young age that you didn't show emotion. It was a sign of weakness. It was a dog eat dog world in the business world. People went behind others back just so that they could get more money. Money created some frightening people.
"Hn. Impressive." Itachi said. The short haired Uchiha rolled his eyes and contorted his face.
"No shit."
"So what are you going to do?" he asked and all Shisui could do was move across the room and sit on the couch. Moving so that he was lying down he moved his arm so that it was covering his eyes.
"I have no fucking clue." He answered.
"You are a fool cousin." Itachi said after a few minutes of silence. Not moving his arm from his face Shisui mumbled incoherent words, but having been constantly around his cousin for years Itachi knew exactly what he said.
"No shit."
-End Flashback-
"Is that all you came here to tell me?" a voice said interrupting the talkative pinkette.
Sakura stared down at the dark haired young man and quirked an eyebrow. She could feel a slight rage start to burn through her.
"You need to not bring her into your problems Uchiha-san." Sakura said softly before turning on her heel and heading toward the exit. But not before Itachi stepped out from the shadows and grabbed her arm. She let out a slight yelp as he pulled her into the hallway and down the hallway.
"I have to go. I can't stay." She said in a rush. She hadn't seen him in about a week and just being around him made her body start to burn. Besides she had to return back to her cousins and then drive the few hours back home so that her mother wouldn't trip an ungodly amount.
Speaking of the devil, she could feel her phone vibrate in her back pocket. It was about seven am and she knew that her mother would just now be waking up and probably had already went and checked on her in her room only to find her gone. Oh she could only imagine how deep she was in.
"Hn."
Rolling her eyes at his answer they walked into his bedroom. Stopping so that she moved in front of him, he quickly shut the door and locked it before pushing her toward his bed. Since she was already here he might as well take advantage of it. He hadn't seen her in almost more than a week, and he was already craving her.
"Itachi." She said, pushing him off her. Raising his eyebrows at her actions he couldn't help but let a smirk come to his lips. He knew that she had to leave, that she should leave. Since she had stolen her mother's car he could only imagine that she would be in trouble, so why not just enjoy the next few hours before her mother made her life hell.
"Relax. You already snuck out, most likely in trouble. Might as well enjoy the rest of the morning with me." He breathed into her ear as his fingers slid under the fabric of her top and snuck up her skin.
Sakura stared at him for a few minutes before leaning into his body and twisting her head so that she could capture his lips with her.
