Sweet Sensations

XxXxXxXx

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…

Chapter 9: Reminisce

XxXxXxXx

The pink haired woman jolted awake when she felt herself being roughly pulled up on her two feet.

Mayou stood before her, gripping her arm tightly and giving her an annoyed look.

"C'mon pinky, I've been ordered to feed you…"

Sakura would have shot back at Mayou with a smart remark for calling her such a name, but she was too tired and weak to even walk in a straight line. The kunoichi followed behind the older woman and sat down in a wooden chair.

A bowl containing some sort of soup was placed in front of her. She shakily gripped the spoon given to her and took a small bite. Nearly gagging, Sakura threw down the spoon and coughed a few times.

"You better eat it cause that's all you're going to get!" Mayou said, obviously irritated.

Sakura slowly began to eat the contents in the bowl. It had taken her a while to swallow the disgusting soup that was prepared for her but her stomach was once again filled. Her eyes began to close, she was so tired…

Tired of living this life…

Tired of being betrayed…

Tired of you…

"Why am I still here…" Sakura said more to herself than to Mayou.

"Shut up and get back to you're room!" The female member growled.

Once again Sakura was hauled up by Mayou and dragged back to the cellar room. Even though she was thrown roughly to the floor and hit it hard, her body was too weak and already beaten up to possibly feel anymore pain whatsoever.

Why is this happening?

Itachi…

Tears fell from her half lidden orbs. The spilled down her pale cheeks and made her face red. Sakura let out muffled sobs of despair and confusion.

The retreating footsteps of Mayou came to a halt. A loud bang came from the other side of her door and then the voice of the female Akatsuki member.

"Shut the hell up!"

She had tried so hard to cease all her crying but the tears… they just wouldn't stop from falling. They continued to stain her face and the stone floor where her body limply lay.

This time however the door swung open and Mayou stood in the darkened room. A kunai in her hand and a smug look plastered on her face.

"If you don't shut up right now, I'll kill you!" She threatened.

"I don't care!" Sakura yelled.

Mayou tightly gripped the gleaming weapon and stepped closer to the vulnerable kunoichi. Mayou took a handful of her hair and tilted her head back. The kunai was pressed against the delicate skin of her neck.

"Fine by me."

Sakura let her eyes close, even in her weak state she was able to give out a small whimper.

At least I'll be at peace…

To get away from everything… especially you.

"Mayou!" A husky voice came from behind the two women.

She snapped her head in the direction of the voice. There Uchiha Itachi stood, his face portraying no emotion.

Mayou on the other hand gave him an annoyed look.

"What!?!"

He stepped closer to the two women and narrowed his eyes at Mayou.

"She will die by my hands…" He warned.

Mayou pocketed the kunai and released Sakura's long tresses from her grasp. The kunoichi could feel Itachi burning holes in her back with his gaze. She didn't want to see him at the moment, actually she didn't know if she ever wanted to see him again!

Why do the ones I love always turn on me?

Why!?!

Using her elbows, Sakura lifted herself partially up from the floor. Her head turned in the direction of her former lover, Itachi. A saddened expression made its way onto her innocent features.

Her eyes held so much pain and sadness…

Its you're fault…

That I am broken and cannot be fixed…

"It… Itachi…" The pink haired woman managed to choke out.

He stopped from stepping out of the room. The Uchiha closed his red eyes and clenched his fist.

The way his name sounded when she said it. When it rolled off her sweet tongue.

Itachi seemed to be lulled into a memory. When they had made love for the first time, filled with pure pleasure and bliss.

Itachi!

Sakura!

By now, Sakura was up and walking toward him. One arm outstretched, her hand open, as if she were trying to grasp something.

Something that she could never have again…

Lost forever…

Gone.

Her hand now gripped his Akatsuki cloak, tugging on it.

"Itachi…" She whispered hoarsely.

Like she was pleading him… begging him.

Stay please…

His eyes snapped open and quickly he pinned Sakura to the cold floor. Her innocent emerald eyes were closed, her body began to tremble, began to shake. She had begun to cry again…

Don't leave me…

Ever…

Itachi's first mistake was looking into her eyes. The same ones that captivated him… Sakura gave out a small whimper and slowly let her eyes fall shut.

They both panted, out of breath. Itachi collapsed on top of Sakura's worn out form. Both their bodies were coated in sheen sweat.

The eldest Uchiha's eyes widened a fraction as he erased the memories that had suddenly begun to flood his head. They were all memories of making love to the woman he supposedly told himself that he held no feelings for.

Lies…

As he continued to stare at the kunoichi, the world around him changed shape. Itachi was now hovering above a naked Sakura. Her breathing was labored and her eyes were glazed over with lust.

She placed a hand on his cheek and inched her face closer to his. Coming back to reality, Itachi pulled away from Sakura and stared wide eyed at her.

"Ita… Itachi…" She stuttered.

Gaining back his composure, Itachi straitened out and glared at the pink haired woman.

"Don't think for a second that I won't kill you…"

She heard the sound of the door being slammed shut. Sakura closed her eyes and reminisced in the memories of her and Itachi.

They had been torn apart.

Driven apart…

Fate… that's what had caused their love to be none existing…

Sakura turned on side and somehow found comfort in complete darkness.

We both know that you want me dead…

Just get it over with.

I don't want to feel anymore pain…

I want to feel nothing… Nothing at all.
