Chapter 10::The Date

Sasuke gritted his teeth as he watched Sakura start chatting with his friends. Damn that Itachi! Sakura is his! Why did Itachi want every single thing that he had! So what if he wasn't currently dating Sakura. He would have if he wasn't dating Karin! It was just that Itachi got to her first! He was only dating the ugly Katsura because it was an order from his father. He couldn't refuse his father. His father commanded him that he started dating Karin so the Katsura and Itachi Company could merge. It was for the good of the company, his father said. Good his ass! But he had to listen to his father.

Karin stopped talking for a moment to look up at Sasuke who was focused on something unknown. She followed his gaze and landed on Sakura. She frowned. Why was Sasuke so interested in that pink haired wench! She was so much better than her! Who would like a girl with pink hair anyway?!

Furrowing her eyebrows together, Karin cleared her throat to get his attention. She was ignored. She tried fake coughing, but once more, the Uchiha ignored her. She was getting fed up with him ignoring her. That's all he seemed to be doing lately. It was like she didn't even exist in his world!

"Hm, Sasuke-kun?"

Sasuke groaned in annoyance and removed his eyes from his pink haired beauty. His onyx orbs met Karin's own dark ones. Finally satisfied that he was giving her his full attention, she batted her eyelashes and pushed her body up against Sasuke's a bit more.

"Are you excited about our date?"

She questioned and once more received another groan from Sasuke. This girl was really starting to piss him off. He truly wanted to hit her, but he could never bring himself to hit a woman, even if it was Karin. Why should he be excited about this date!? He hated her and hated the date that his father arranged from them. He didn't answer her, just turned his attention back on Sakura who was giggling cutely about something her friends said.

Karin as beyond pissed. It took everything in her being to stop herself from going over and pounding Sakura. As if she would win anyway. Last time she hit Sakura; she got beat to a pulp and served a week in juvenile. She had to keep reminding herself that she was dating Sasuke, not Sakura. Sighing in defeat, Karin stood and left the table, wanting to get out of the lunch room before she did something stupid.

////////----\\\\\\\\

Friday night had arrived quicker than Sakura thought and she was steadily preparing for her date. She had just given Itachi the address to her house and she only had fifteen minutes to put on the last preparations to her outfit.

Sakura rubbed her temples as she gazed in her mirror at herself. She was wearing a beautiful evening gown that had slits to each side of it. The gown was made out of silk and was the color of her hair. It hugged her curves fabulously and had a v-cut, showing just the right amount of cleavage.

Her long pink locks were styled up in a messy, yet sexy bun. Two strands of her hair trailed down her face, giving her a lovely appearance. Tenten gave her advice that it was best to where a bun if she was going out for a romantic dinner or something, even though she wore her bun almost every single day.

Sakura walked over to her closet, picking out her white, almost clear high heels and slipped them on. The fitted perfectly on her size six and a half foot. She applied a bit of lip-gloss to her lips and checked over everything once more. Perfect.

Grabbing her matching pink purse, she ran down the steps with her cell phone in hand. She glanced around and noticed that her mother wasn't downstairs. Good. She didn't want her mother to meet Itachi just yet. In fact she didn't even tell her mom about Itachi. No doubt she would overact about their age difference and it was too dangerous to date him. She didn't want to hear any of that mess from her mother.

Her phone started to vibrate violently in the palm of her hand, signally that she had received another text message. Most likely from Itachi. Just as she expected, it was from Itachi telling her that he was outside.

"I'm leaving mama!"

Sakura announced as she walked out of the door, locking it behind her. As she turned around, she smiled at what she and Itachi would be riding in. The door of the black limo was behind held open Itachi's driver, waiting for her to step inside.

Sakura politely thanked him before sitting inside. Itachi was sitting on the other side of the limo, dressed in a black tuxedo.

"You look great, Blossom."

Itachi complimented her, his pools tracing up and down her figure. Sakura blushed under his gaze and smiled nervously back at him.

"You do too, Itachi-san."

The ride was silent, seeing as Sakura really didn't have anything to talk about. Itachi just stared at her throughout the whole ride, making her feel nervous. Although she was headed on a date with Itachi, she couldn't help but let her mind drift to Sasuke.

////////----\\\\\\\\

Karin acted as if she was glued to his arm as Sasuke and she walked inside one of the biggest club around, The Snake. She didn't let go of his arm ever since he picked her up from her house!

The club was booming with loud music that Sasuke couldn't make out. Numerous people were out on the dance floor, drinking and partying like wild animals. It was obvious that they were going to make sure they parted all night long. It wasn't easy to get into this club and they were going to use this time wisely to party all night long.

"Come, Karin."

Sasuke commanded the female clinging to his arm as he directed her towards the empty table that was reserved for him and Karin. A large man was guarding the table, making sure that no one else was to sit down at the table.

Karin and Sasuke sat down at the table and already Sasuke was bored. He would have never been bored if he was with Sakura; he would have been having the time of his life! If only Itachi didn't claim her first. It was only a matter of time though until she figured out the real Itachi.

"Sasuke-kun, let's dance!"

Karin squealed as she heard one of her favorite songs come on; Sensual Seduction by Snoop Dogg. Sasuke was dragged on the dance floor by Karin. Instantly the girl forced Sasuke to wrap his arms around her waist as she danced up on him.

Sasuke looked at her in disgusted. Now she was just trying too damn hard! He made no move to dance with her or even acknowledge her movements. He just stared off in space, wondering what Sakura must be doing right now.

////////----\\\\\\\\

Sakura was staring at the menu in front of her eyes. Everything was so expensive! Of course Itachi was treating her and he was rich, but she though it was just wrong to make him use a large sum of his money. She bit on her fingernail as she finally selected what she was going to order. She decided to get Sukiyaki, one of her favorite Japanese dishes.

Sakura looked up from the menu to look around the Akatsuki. There was one thing she could say about the restaurant. It is huge! Around tables was red carpet in case they wished to remove their footwear. Famous people were sitting around eating their food and chatting about the local news. Waiters, obviously experienced walked to each table, filling out orders. Experienced chefs had their meal done in at least less then ten minutes. Windows were around the restaurant, giving them a perfect view of the outside but no one could really see inside of the windows, making it perfect for pauperizes not to see them while they ate. This place was the best!

"What shall I be getting you two this evening?"

The male waiter asked as he pulled out his notepad and pen, his eyes wondering from Itachi to Sakura then back to his pad.

"Yes, I'll be having the Okonomiyaki."

Itachi ordered first before Sakura followed afterward.

"And I'll have the Sukiyaki."

The waiter wrote the orders down quickly before asking what they would like to drink. Itachi ordered Sake for himself while Sakura just preferred soda. Even though she was sure that she could get away with an alcoholic drink with Itachi, she didn't want to end up getting drunk and doing something stupid. She was smarter than that.

The waiter finished writing down their orders and nodded to them as he left the table. Once again, silence fell between the two until Itachi finally decided to come up with a conversation. He needed to know a little bit more about Sakura if he was going to manipulate her one day.

"So Sakura-chan, tell me more about yourself. Who do live with?"

Sakura's emerald orbs met Itachi's dark ones, getting captured inside of his emotionless pools. She paused for a moment before answering him.

"I live with my mother. It's just me and her. My father was once working for the police force, but died on his job."

Sakura didn't have any problems talking about her father. In fact she enjoyed talking about him. It didn't make her sad for the fact that he died. You should be honor when your father died fighting for something that is right. Although she still thinks about him sometimes and cries over his death, she's still honored.

"What about you Itachi-kun? Do you live with your family or do you have your own house?"

"I'm currently living with my parents and younger brother. I'm going to be moving out soon by my father suggested that I stay a bit longer so we can work together more frequently."

Itachi answered her as he spotted the waiter coming back with their drinks. He sat them down in front of the two, along with a basket of fresh bread before living the two again. Sakura's mind couldn't help but wonder back to Sasuke and what he could possibly be doing right now.

////////----\\\\\\\\

Sasuke grunted in annoyance as Karin steady kept dancing all over him. He could easily guess that she had some type of hopes to arouse him; Foolish girl. Quickly unwrapping his arms from around Karin, he informed her that he was going to get something to drink and left her on the dance floor.

Sasuke walked over to the bar, sitting down on an empty stool and ordered him a glass of wine. He waited patiently for the bartender to come down with his drink. It only took mere seconds for the drink to be slid down towards him. He nodded in thanks to the male before slipping down some of the wine. This wasn't his first time he drunk before and surely wasn't going to be his last time.

"Uchiha-san."

A familiar voice called title from behind him, making the Uchiha look across his shoulder. His eyes rested upon a boy with white hair pulled back in a ponytail. He pushed up his glasses, making them rest on the bridge of his nose.

"Orochimaru-sama wishes to see you."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly. Well it seems that Orochimaru was not going to let Sasuke leave without talking to him. He stood up, placing down a small tip for the waiter before falling Kabuto to the back, most likely Orochimaru's office.

////////----\\\\\\\\

Sakura ate her food in silence, pausing every now and then to wipe her mouth or take a sip of her soda. Throughout the whole dinner, she noticed Itachi often staring at her. Most of the time he wasn't even staring at her face. He was making her uncomfortable around him. She was now having second thoughts about this date.

She finished off the last of her meal, sighing softly as she rubbed her satisfied tummy.

"Thank you for treating me, Itachi-san!"

Sakura smiled and received a smile back from Itachi. He had finished his meal awhile ago and paid for the meal. The only thing he was doing was waiting for Sakura to finish her own dinner. He was a bit upset that Sakura didn't order any alcoholic. He couldn't make a move on her tonight, but soon enough she would belong to him.

"Ready to go, my little blossom?"

Sakura nodded her head, standing up and pulling down her dress. She could feel Itachi's dark gaze looming over her body, but didn't say a word. She followed him outside and he helped her inside of the limo without hesitation before getting inside himself.

She was glad that she was finally able to go home. The time was currently 11:42 and she was exhausted. All she wanted to do right now is take a long hot bath, then fall asleep in her comfy bed.

"I hope we can do this again, Blossom."

Itachi mentioned and Sakura nodded in agreement, although she really didn't want to go on another date with Itachi.

It only took a few more seconds for them to arrive to her home. It took everything in Sakura's being to keep herself from sighing out in relief. She was starting to get a bad vibe from Itachi, like he was going to do something she wouldn't like any second.

"Bye I—"

Sakura wasn't able to finish her sentence. In only a few moments, Itachi's fingers were wrapped around her chin, pulling her into a deep kiss. His free arm was wrapped around her waist, keeping her from pulling away from him.

Sakura's eyes widen with fear. Itachi was kissing her! On their first date! They were defiantly moving to fast now! He didn't even ask for her permission. She squirmed a bit in his arms, wanting to get free but his grip only seem to get tighter. After a few seconds, she finally had no choice but to relax in his arms.

Finally to Sakura's happiness, Itachi broke the kiss and her go. She was in so much shock, she didn't even move from her spot. Itachi lifted up his right hand, placing a thread of her hair in the back of her ear. His finger trailed down to gently tap against her lips as a small smirk appeared on his own.

"Goodnight, my Blossom."

Sakura quickly got out of the limo, without even saying goodbye to Itachi and rushing inside of her house. Her heart was thumping loudly inside of her chest as she locked her house door. Oh god, she felt so violated! Even if it was from only a kiss!

Forcing herself to regain her composer, Haruno slowly dragged herself to her room. She couldn't let Itachi do something like that again. She would have to talk to him about it…tomorrow. Right now she wanted to go take a long hot bath to clear her mind.

////////----\\\\\\\\

"Is this the one you long for, Sasuke-san?"

A man with long black hair stared at Sasuke who was sitting in a brown leather seat. His eyes were amber and resembled a snake's. His skin was pure white, as if he was dead or just had a bit too much make up on. He was lifting up a picture of Sakura for Sasuke to see.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes in warning to Orochimaru who had an evil glint in his eyes.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Orochimaru turned his eyes back on the picture of the pink haired beauty. His unusually long tongue slithered out of his mouth as he licked his lips as the sight.

"She is a beauty, isn't she?"

Sasuke growled in anger. Orochimaru was taking this as a joke! He was threatening Sakura's life if Sasuke didn't do what he said! Slamming his fist against the coffee table in front of him, Sasuke stood up to his feet.

"Orochimaru if you lay one hand on her I swear—"

"Then you know what to do, Sasuke-kun."

Orochimaru cut Sasuke off as he pushed a contract in front of Sasuke's eyes. The Uchiha had no choice but to do as Orochimaru said if he wanted for Sakura to ever see daylight again. There was so many things that Orochimaru could do to Sakura and he would not allow it!

Sighing in defeat, Sasuke grabbed the blue pink pen next to the contract and started to sign his signature.

'Only for you, Sakura-chan.'

////////----\\\\\\\\

Itachi smirked to himself as he let the thought of Sakura filled his mind. He was so close! He was barely able to control himself from not taking her in his limo. She was lucky he wasn't drunk or he would have done it without any regrets!

He licked his lips; the taste of Sakura's still lingering on his. Her taste…she tasted delicious. He longed for her! She wouldn't be like the rest…she wouldn't be like the ones he always got rid of after he had sex with them. No, she would last much longer.

'Just you wait, Blossom.'
