Sweet Sensations
XxXxXxXx
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.

Chapter 8: Shattered Kunoichi
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto!
XxXxXxXx
The forest was large no doubt and one could easily get lost in it. Speaking of which, Sakura strained her eyes on the many trees in her way. Running at full speed, the kunoichi ran through a bush and felt her skin being cut by small twigs and sticks.
Her arms and legs were covered in small scrapes, not to mention a rather large and noticeable bruise on her thigh from when she fell a few minutes back.
Sakura watched as the clouds blocked her only main source of light, the moon… She continued to run and ignored the burning pain that went up her legs and spread throughout her worn out lungs. She wasn't going to stop for a break knowing that she was close, so close…
Itachi…
She had been running for some time now and Sakura knew that it was still late in the night. Upon seeing Akatsuki base, Sakura sped up and felt like she was moving in slow motion. Her stomach growled from not receiving any food for quite some time. Her vision grew blurry and she could swear that it looked like the base was getting farther and farther away.
Sakura's chakra was deathly low; she had used most of it all up when she pushed it into her feet. She was sure that she only had enough for one more chakra boost to her feet. Blue chakra emitting from within her and was directed to her sore feet.
Sakura instantly used it almost all up and raced for the front door. She was going to make it!
I'm so close…
Taking in a breath, Sakura stretched her arm out in front of her and reached for the wooden door. Fingers nearly grazing the front door, her heavy eyes fell shut and her knees buckled underneath her.
Her entire body was dry of chakra and she couldn't even move. She lay on the ground, head inches away from her only entrance…
Itachi…
XxXxXxXx
Things had changed at the Akatsuki since Sakura was returned to Konohagakure. A new recruit was now an official member of the Akatsuki. Unlike the others, this ninja had come from the mist village and was a female.
She went by the name Mayou, her long blue hair was pulled up in a ponytail. Akita Harumi and Ishikawa Mayumi had sadly died during battle a month ago. Unlike the other females, this one had a heart of pure ice and her attitude towards the head member, Itachi was disrespectful…
Her chocolate eyes snapped open when she heard a noise coming from outside. Mayou strode towards the front door; she gripped the knob and pulled open the door forcefully. Noticing the colour of pink in her vision, Mayou looked down to see a worn out and more than likely unconscious young woman.
Mayou gripped the collar of Sakura's shirt and dragged her into Akatsuki.
Who the hell is this and I want to know why she is here!?! The female Akatsuki member walked towards a tall door and pushed it open, the kunoichi was still being held up by the collar of her shirt. Mayou watched as four Akatsuki heads turned in her direction.
She without care threw Sakura to the hard floor and began to raise her voice in annoyance.
''Why is this girl here!?! ''
Looking at the young woman Deidara thought… isn't that the kunoichi from Konoha? Why is she back at Akatsuki!?!
Mayou glared at Itachi as she waited for an answer she was sure he had. The room went deathly quiet as they continued to stare at the unconscious kunoichi. To signal her annoyance, Mayou tapped her foot impatiently on the stone floor.
Deidara looked Itachi in the eyes, almost as if he were looking for an answer. With a nod of his head, the blonde male stood from his chair beside Kisame and strode over the pink haired woman. Itachi hadn't even took a second glance at his former lover as Deidara roughly took a handful of her long pink hair and dragged her out of the room.
Another reason for having Mayou as part of Akatsuki, besides her obvious fighting skills was because it would get Itachi's mind off of Sakura and on a new woman. Someone who wasn't good by nature and too pathetic to be called a ninja. A woman who wouldn't soften the strongest member of Akatsuki.
It was actually all Kisame's idea to bring another woman into Akatsuki. The members hadn't told Itachi about why they suddenly wanted another member to be apart of Akatsuki. Itachi had let it slide by and didn't even bother to ask questions.
He did however notice Mayou's beauty and strength. They weren't lovers per say… Itachi had had an intimate encounter with Mayou a while back and things seemed to progress from then on…
Itachi had had a long days worth of training and was in dire need of a nice cold shower to cool him off from the intense heat outside. Stripping himself from his Akatsuki attire, Itachi stepped into under the running water above and began to lather his body with soap.
His hair was now soaked and covered in a foam substance. The water came to a halt when Itachi turned the taps.
He stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his dripping wet body. As he walked into his room, a cool breeze swept through the open window and sent shivers down his spine. Itachi dried off his body and put on a pair of sweat pants to sleep in.
As soon as his head made contact with the soft pillow he was taken by sleep. Erotic images of Sakura he popped into his head as he dreamt. Sweat formed on his forehead as Itachi jolted awake and clutched the blankets covering his body.
He removed himself from his bed and walked out the door. His bare feet padded against the stone floor as he walked towards the kitchen area.
Itachi took a cup and filled it with cold water and drank it in one gulp. He placed the cup in a sink and began to walk back to his room. A figure ahead of him made Itachi stop. Mayou stood casually against the corridor wall, her arms crossed over her chest.
''What are you still doing up? '' Itachi asked.
''I could ask you the same question…'' Mayou quickly shot back.
She turned her head and caught sight of Itachi's muscled chest and arms. A light blush covered her cheeks as she turned her head away from the Uchiha. His lips twisted into a smirk as he walked over to her and then stood directly in front of her.
''Embarrassed are we?'' Itachi had teased.
Mayou gritted her teeth as she replied.
''No!
A chuckle escaped his throat; Itachi pressed his hand against the cold stone wall right by Mayou's head. The Uchiha brought his face closer to hers, his hot breath against her neck made Mayou shiver in delight.
Her body had never experienced anything like it was at that very moment.
Bliss…
Lost in the moment, Mayou let her body take over and didn't know what she was doing until it was too late. A gasp escaped her lips as she pulled away from the Uchiha. Her face was bright red by now and her eyes were wide.
Her lips parted for her to speak but were silenced as Itachi forcefully captured Mayou's lips. She moaned into the kiss she shared with the eldest Uchiha. Her hands running over the rigid muscles of his chest and arms.
Both pulled away to stare each other in the eyes. Obviously embarrassed about the heated kiss that Itachi had given her, Mayou moved away from him and went back to her chambers.
Deidara found an old, empty room where he threw the kunoichi into and locked the door. His lips formed a malicious smirk as he took one last look at the unconscious kunoichi.
Itachi is not the same person you knew him to be… he has changed for the better…
The night progressed and Sakura had finally managed to pull out of her unconsciousness. She now shakily stood up and looked around the room. A small amount of light entered the room from under the crack in the door.
She rubbed her tired eyes and began to walk around the fairly small room. Her hand gripped the door knob and she began to frantically twist and turn it. It was futile to try and open the obviously locked door, so Sakura just sat on the hard stone floor.
Not a sound was heard except for the steady breathing coming from Sakura. Her eyes widened when she heard footsteps coming her way.
''Is someone there?'' She said barely above a whisper.
She heard the sound of a key being turned inside the lock and then a clicking noise. The door swung open as an unfamiliar figure stepped into the dark room. Sakura moved backwards until she hit a wall and stared up at the woman.
Sakura was pulled up by the arm and pulled towards a wooden door. Pushed inside the small room, Sakura noticed a toilet and a sink. Did they want her to go to the bathroom so that she wouldn't bug them later on?
The door was closed behind her and then nothing… Sakura really didn't need to go to the bathroom so instead she looked into the mirror situated above the sink. She turned the cold water tap and began to wash her dirt covered face.
Upon hearing voices, Sakura peered through a small hole and caught sight of two figures. One was Mayou and the other was… Itachi!?!
She watched as Itachi pulled the other woman into a tight embrace and then the feeling of her heart being ripped in half. She fell to the floor and let a few stray tears fall from her wide emerald orbs.
I should have just stayed in Konoha…
Itachi…
Was she really that unlovable? Did all the times she and Itachi had spent together laying in bed and simply enjoying one another's company mean nothing to him…
She was being replaced by some other woman…
He had used her! She had willingly given up her virginity for him and he had gone and replaced her... The pain that she was feeling at the moment was even more immense then all the countless times that Sasuke had rejected her…
Why…
The door was pulled open and now only Mayou stood there giving the kunoichi an annoyed look. She gripped her wrist and hauled her up own her two feet. Sakura was forced back into the room she had woken up in and let her body fall to the hard floor.
She heard the key locking the door once again and just let her body lay there… Upon feeling something against her fingertips, Sakura quickly gripped it and knew at once that it was a thin piece of metal or other hard substance.
Acting quickly Sakura pressed her ear to the door and listened for any noise. Everything was quiet and all that she could hear was her own heart beating in her chest. Sakura felt around for the door knob and then the key hole.
She shoved the piece of metal into the hole and shook it around. Her ears picked up the sound of a click and the piece of think metal slipped from her hand. It fell forgotten to the metal floor as Sakura jerked open the door and stealthily moved about the long corridor.
Sakura pressed her back to the wall as she silently slid to the left. If she remembered correctly, Itachi's room was right beyond the next corridor.
A lone door caught her eyes; Sakura masked her chakra and slowly gripped the door knob. She opened the door and quietly stepped into the room. Sakura was aware of a soaring kunai headed her way, but she barely managed to get out of the way.
Instead the sharp tip of the kunai cut her cheek; a trail of crimson blood bled from the new cut and stained her right cheek.
My cheeks are already cut up does it really matter that I now have one more…
The presence behind her gave Sakura goose bumps. She knew that it was Itachi who threw the kunai, who had intended it to pierce the side of her head.
To kill her…
Sakura hands formed into fists as she faced her former lover. She narrowed her eyes at Itachi as she watched him take out another kunai. Her lips formed a sad smile as she saw the cruel fate that would soon befall upon her…
Her life would be ended by her thought lover…
Sakura parted her lips and began speaking, her eyes never leaving his…
''Itachi… what has happened to you... ''
''I thought you loved-'' She was cut off by the Uchiha.
''Thought I loved you? No kunoichi sadly you are mistaken…''
Her words faltered as she spoke… she had to stay strong and not crumble on the floor…
''So you just replaced me with some whore?''
''I gave up my virginity to you and all you do is forget about me!''
She was starting to get pissed off now, her voice rose even more as she yelled…
''You fucking Uchiha bastard!''
In a split second, Sakura found a kunai against her neck and a body pressed against hers. Sakura let her head drop, her bangs hiding the sadness on her face.
With tears threatening to fall, Sakura managed to choke out a few words before letting many tears slide down her face.
''I hate you…''
The tears mixed with her new cut and made it sting all the more. Sakura felt the blade of the kunai begin to cut through the skin of her neck. She made no attempt to fight against him, this is what was meant to happen after all… wasn't it…
''You have already killed me inside… just get it over with…''
Inhaling her thought to be last breath, Sakura heard the clang of metal hitting the stone floor. Itachi removed his body from hers and opened the door to his room. The tone in his voice made Sakura quiver in fear…
''Leave…'' He commanded.
Drunkenly staggering towards the door, Sakura watched as Itachi turned his face from her. She had let a few more tears slip from her eyes as she heard the door close behind her. Leaving her alone in the quiet corridor.
On the way to her room, Sakura was caught by Kisame and was put back in the room. He locked the door and left the kunoichi in the room.
She placed tired body on the stone floor and was lulled into a deep sleep. The image of Itachi's face still fresh in her mind as she closed her jade eyes…
Sleep soon after enveloping her, taking her into a world that was her own… where her and Itachi were still lovers…
Everything was falling apart and crumbling around Sakura…
