Sweet Sensations

Am I really going soft? Did Sakura do this to me?
If I continue to act the way I am I will loose my reputation…
And for what!?! Some kunoichi that I found exhausted on the forest floor.
I am Uchiha Itachi! I hold feelings for no one… not even you cherry blossom.
Not even you…

Sunlight streamed into the window of an apartment room. Haruno Sakura stirred in her sleep but did not awaken… not yet…
Her dreams progressed and she continued to sleep peacefully.
A knock was heard at the door and a voice soon following after…
''Sakura-chan!''
Another knock was heard at the door but still Sakura slept on. The blonde haired shinobi had a look of worry etched on his features as he continued to call out her name.
''Sakura-chan open the door! ''
The kunoichi rolled over on her bed and let her mouth hang slightly open. Backing up, Naruto charger at the door and made it go flying off its hinged when his body came into contact with it. He looked around the room and began to search for the blossom.
Running past a room, Naruto slowly backed up and stared at the sleeping figure of Sakura. He padded towards the kunoichi and let a small smile grace his lips. Upon realizing that she would beat the shit out of him if she woke up to see her door off its hinges.
Quickly, he found a few tools which must have belonged to her father. Naruto went to work and didn't seem to notice that he was making one hell of a noise.
Green eyes fluttered open to stare at the blank white ceiling overhead. Sakura let out a yawn and stood up from her bed. A hand crept over to her left side and touched the soft fabric that was her bed sheets.
Her brows furrowed as she quickly turned her head to the side.
Itachi…
Where was Itachi?
My room? I'm in my room? When the hell did I come home?
Memories of last night flooded to her head and she heard a ruckus coming from the living room. Silently, Sakura reached out and firmly gripped a kunai.
Someone is in my house!
Exhaling and inhaling air, Sakura pressed her back against the wall and she jumped out from behind the corner of the wall.
''Get out of my-''
She stopped herself from throwing the kunai at a very scared Naruto. He held his hands out in front of him and let the tools fall to the ground.
''Naruto? What the hell are you doing here?''
''When the teme told me that he had gotten you back I came over here to see you.'' He said.
Sakura placed her kunai on the coffee table and sat on her couch. Putting the tools away, Naruto plopped down on the couch beside Sakura and stared blankly at the television.
Oh kami-sama! Did Sasuke tell Naruto about what had happened!?!
''Naruto… did Sasuke tell you about-''
The kyubi container cut her off and began speaking.
''About how the Akatsuki took you?''
He lied!
Going along with it, Sakura parted her lips.
''Oh, I guess he told you already…''
But why had he done it and not tell anyone about what he saw? Especially to Kakashi!
Sakura placed her clasped hands on her lap and gave Naruto a warm smile.
''How about we go and eat some ramen?''
The hyperactive ninja jumped up from the couch and waved his hands in the air. He looked like a small child exited to go to the candy store with his mother.
Stifling a laugh, Sakura rose from her seat and headed towards the door. Her hand gripped the door knob and she turned it and attempted to open the door. Instead of opening like Sakura though should have happened, the door completely fell off its hinges and to the floor.
''Okay baka, start explaining…''
Naruto backed up until he hit a wall and began to plead for Sakura's forgiveness. She narrowed her eyes and stomped towards the scared ninja and smacked him over the head with her fist. He had cried out in pain and now both shinobi were walking towards Ichiraku, Naruto rubbing his head and Sakura sending him an annoyed look every now and then.
Sitting on a stool, Sakura ordered a bowl of miso ramen for herself and Naruto two bowls of pork ramen. Sakura watched in disgust as Naruto gulped down all the contents inside the two bowls and order another bowl of beef ramen instead of pork.
Her stomach about to explode, Sakura pushed the empty bowl away from her and paid the tab. She was going to treat Naruto to ramen and pay for him but since he broke her door she made him pay.
''C'mon Sakura-chan that's not fair!'' Naruto sulked.
''Well, maybe you shouldn't break people's doors!'' She barked.
''I was worried about you.'' The kyubi holder said.
Sakura stood from the stool and said goodbye to Naruto who had just handed money to the Ichiraku owner. He murmured something under his breath and headed towards Hinata's house.
The kunoichi stood under a cherry blossom tree. Watching as the beautiful petals fell from the tree and floated gracefully to the ground. She contemplated about the situation at hand… Itachi. Sakura had never asked to be rescued and taken away from the man that she loves. Sasuke had no right to take her away from him…
Sakura rested her arm on her bent knee and stared into nothingness. Reminiscing in the moments she had with Uchiha Itachi… She had been happy, but now… now she was depressed… No one in this village would ever display affections toward her like Itachi had done…
Sasuke sure as hell didn't love or care about her… Only to make an Uchiha heir.
She closed her jade orbs and let her head fall back. She opened them again to stare at the endless blue sky, white clouds floating on by…
Sakura tensed up when she felt a presence behind her.
Sasuke…
The kunoichi abruptly stood up from the ground and didn't bother looking back. She faltered for a moment but quickly began to take steps forward. The wind blew and made her hair dance with it, causing it to get in her face.
A cold voice made her stop in her tracks…
''Running away like always...''
His words were harsh and once again made Sakura feel weak. Inner Sakura seemed to have come out because the real Sakura would have never turned around and marched right up to the Uchiha.
Her hand was raised and she swiftly let it descend closer and closer to Sasuke's cheek. Before her hand made contact with the Uchiha's skin, his hand tightly gripped her wrist and held her hand in place.
Sakura attempted to pull her wrist free of the Uchiha's vice grip but to no avail…
''Let go you bastard!'' She shouted in his face.
The grip around her wrist only tightened and made Sakura cry out in pain. The next thing Sakura knew, she was slammed against the cherry blossom tree while Sasuke pinned her against it. His hot breath against the exposed skin on her neck made Sakura blush.
This was the closest she and Sasuke had been and she didn't like it one bit. An aura seemed to surround him almost demanding…
''You're a traitor Sakura…'' The Uchiha breathed.
The kunoichi shifted her body against Sasuke's; she was trying to push him away from her. The raven haired shinobi's hormones took charge and his shaft became erected. If Sakura kept moving like the way she was then he would more than likely ravish her…
Feeling the sudden bulge in the front of Sasuke's pants, Sakura looked down and let a darker shade of red stain her face. She stopped moving and stayed completely still, not wanting to arouse Sasuke more than he already was.
''Look what you're doing to me Sakura…'' The Uchiha said in a whisper.
To make his statement clear he grinded his throbbing groin against Sakura's lower region. She tensed up upon contact and closed her emerald eyes.
''Is this what Itachi did to you…'' Sasuke said his voice sounding almost seductive.
Sakura let a whimper pass her lips as Sasuke used his hand to trail under Sakura's short dress. The kunoichi shut her legs together and bit her bottom lip to keep from moaning. When Sasuke's hand came in contact with Sakura's panties, he used his index finger to touch her sensitive bud against the fabric of the kunoichi's panties.
She couldn't help it… A low moan escaped Sakura's throat as Sasuke continued on with his ministrations.
''That's enough you bastard!'' She screamed.
Using all her strength, Sakura managed to push Sasuke away from her. Her knees buckled and she was thankful for the tree behind her to hold her up. Sakura let out an exasperated breath and looked at the Uchiha on the ground.
''Go find some other woman to restore you're clan…'' She whispered before running off.

Uchiha Itachi had just come back from training with Sasori. It was the only thing that Itachi could do to get a certain rose haired woman out of his mind.
You're going soft…
Those same words plagued his conscience. Uchiha's weren't soft! And he definitely wasn't! Itachi rubbed his temples and sat himself down on his bed covered with fine bed sheets.
You're going soft…
He refused to believe those words. Itachi had done well to forget the kunoichi he had slept with. He himself had said that it was no mistake and now he was having second thoughts…
I don't need anyone! Especially some weak pink haired kunoichi from Konohagakure!
Night air wafted into the room and gave the Uchiha goose bumps. He pulled the blankets over his cold body and rested his head on one of the soft pillows.
His hand unconsciously began to wander over to the empty spot space beside him. He pulled away and turned to the side, he would just have to forget about her and move on…
Forget…
XxXxXxXx
The following months passed by unexpected and Sakura soon found herself resuming her normal Konoha life. She would go back to work and train regularly.
Have arguments with Naruto which usually ended up with him having a large bump on the head. She had made sure to keep her distance from Sasuke not only because of that odd encounter with him almost 7 months back but, because he resembled his older brother…
How she missed being wrapped up in his arms… Sakura closed her jade orbs and let the desired sleep seep in on her body and mind.
Itachi…
-Dream Sequence
So many things were coursing through her body… Thrashing her head from side to side, Sakura gave out a small cry of ecstasy and went completely still. Itachi collapsed on top of her, his breathing raged and his eyes portraying that of lust.
Stay with me forever…
The eldest Uchiha rolled off of her and brought her against his muscled chest. Sakura breathed in a musky scent that belonged to him and truly felt like she was in heaven.
Forever…
-End of Dream Sequence
Sweat covered the kunoichi's forehead as she quickly sat up and clutched her racing heart. She had been getting dreams like that one for quite a while now and they insisted on staying… It was always the same… her and Itachi would be making love and expressing their feelings…
She just couldn't be at peace knowing that she wasn't with him anymore… It pained her to live everyday without him by her side… To wake up alone in her bed, instead of with him holding her protectively…
Itachi…
Sakura climbed out of bed and raced towards the door. She pulled on her sandals and opened her apartment door.
I'm coming back to you…
That was her last thought as she ran out of the apartment building and out into the stillness of the night.
