Sweet Sensations

XxXxXxXx

Holding back a sob, Sakura was about to walk into her room but something held her back. Sighing, she walked towards the recovery room and opened the large door. Emerald eyes went wide as she stared at an empty row of beds.

Where the hell is he!?!

Fear got the best of her as she hurried out of the room and towards the Akatsuki meeting room. Luckily Kisame was in there and was currently in the process of standing up from his chair.

"Itachi! He's gone!"

His forehead creased with lines, Kisame began to run out of the room with a close to tears kunoichi right behind him...

Chapter 18: Sinking Feeling

XxXxXxXx

Running rapidly around Akatsuki base for what seemed to be the hundredth time, Kisame turned to Sakura and placed his large hands on her shoulders.

"Don't worry, he couldn't have gotten far."

Even though Sakura tried to stay strong and let the reassuring words of Kisame sink in, all she could do was sniffle and lightly nod her head. A grim line was set on Kisame's lips as he began to run down yet another corridor.

By now it had already begun to rain. The water pelted against the windows and creating almost sounds to the ears of Sakura who was in hysterics. Running down a different corridor than Kisame had taken; Sakura reached out and pushed open the front door. What she saw next made her feel relieved yet scared at the same time.

"Itachi!" She cried out.

No response.

Not giving a damn if she would get soaking wet, Sakura dashed towards the training ground and forced her body to keep going. Upon reaching a small area with numerous weapons scattered all over the ground, Sakura knelt down and pulled Itachi's head to rest on her lap.

"I... Itachi..." Her voice began to crack as the thunder sounded overhead.

Her tears mixed with the rain on her face and made it impossible to even tell if she was crying.

She shook is soaked body but got nothing in return. Tilting her head up to face the grey and miserable skies, Sakura parted her lips and began screaming out for the shark man.

"Kisame!"

He was quick to respond, because Kisame was in the process of scooping up the Akatsuki member and running back inside. Sakura was quick to follow suit and ran just as quickly behind Kisame and entered the recovery room where he was placed on a bed.

Feeling his forehead, Sakura pulled her hand away, almost as if it had burned her.

"He has a fever..."

Thinking, Kisame began to walk towards a small cupboard and took out a two small pills, no bigger than a pebble. Placing them on top of the bedside table, the shark man left the room and assured Sakura that he was going to prepare some tea for Itachi.

"Thank you Kisame."

Leaving the room, Sakura was left alone with the elder Uchiha. She stroked his wet-matted hair and ran her fingers through the long raven black tendrils. Wiping a few falling tears from her cheeks, Sakura waited patiently for Itachi to awaken and Kisame to come back.

To her surprise, the Uchiha had woken up earlier than expected. His hand placed on his pounding head and grunts of pain leaving his slightly parted lips. His voice was raspy and made Sakura jump a little when he spoke.

"Wh... what happened?"

Explaining everything, Sakura let a sad façade mask her face. Itachi was sitting upright and slowly drinking up the last remnants of his tea that Kisame had brought for him a few minutes ago.

Taking the empty cup from him, Sakura placed it on the bedside table and took her seat once again beside Itachi's bed. What shocked Sakura the most was what Itachi had said. He laid eyes on her bulging stomach and let a sheepish grin cover his lips.

"Your pregnant I see...?" He said almost childlike.

Holding back a river of tears from falling, Sakura nodded her head and looked away from the Uchiha. The pain was much too unbearable for her to handle that she thought she would break down in tears after a mere 2 minutes of the torturing silence that lingered between the two.

"The father must be proud."

That was what had caused Sakura's small sob and running out of the room only to enter her own. Her face met the pillows as loud cried of misery escaped her throat and caused her face to redden.

Kami-sama! I can't go on like this!

I just can't...

XxXxXxXx

A dumbfounded Itachi sat in bed, one hand coming up to the back of his head and scratching it sheepishly.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Minutes later Kisame entered the room and looked around.

"Where is Sakura-chan?" He asked Itachi.

Telling the shark man about her sudden outburst, Kisame hurried out of the recovery room and slowly knocked on Sakura's door. A weary eyed kunoichi opened it a crack, so that Kisame could only see one of her emerald orbs.

"Sakura I-"

"No Kisame, it's alright. I should learn to hold on my tears until I have reached my room..."

Flashing him a fake smile, Sakura shut the door and left Kisame in the corridor alone.

"Are you sure you're alright Sakura-chan?" He asked with concern.

"Yes Kisame, I'm perfectly fine." Came her quiet response that Kisame had a hard time understanding what she had said.

"If you say so." He replied.

Even though deep inside, Kisame knew that she wasn't... And she would continue to suffer until Itachi somehow got his memories back.

It's nearly impossible...

XxXxXxXx

The following days seemed to go just as Kisame had guessed. Sakura got up and did the usual morning routine before eating breakfast, lunch and dinner, then avoiding the recovery room at all costs. She would blankly look at the thick wooden door and walk past it without entering or getting another look.

Though Itachi had been having a couple of off days and would say nothing except 'I had the strangest dream'. That earned Kisame's complete interest, but was disappointed when Itachi refused to tell him anything, a blush would always surely cover the crests of his cheeks.

I have to get those images out of my head!

To Itachi's utter embarrassment, he had been having erotic dreams about Sakura and him. He would wake up with sweat covering his body and a fully erected member. Much to Itachi's disliking the dreams were so damn persistent that it felt more like a nightmare to him.

Sakura-san is a friend nothing more...

Just a friend...

As night settled in, Itachi grudgingly let his eyes fall closed and prayed dearly that he would not have the same dream once again...

Small squeaks and moans left the pink haired woman's lips as she gripped the Uchiha's broad shoulders. Her eyes were half lidden as his mouth tortured one of her peaked nipples, bringing it into his mouth and swirling his tongue around it.

"It... Itachi..." Sakura moaned.

His one hand descended to her lower regions and passed her naval until it reached its destination. One of his fingers expertly played with her bud as she continued to cry out and dig her nails into the skin of his back.

Delving two fingers inside of her wet entrance, Itachi began his ministrations until Sakura came all over his hand. Swooping his head down, the Uchiha lapped up as much of her feminine juices as possible.

Feeling his need overpowering him, Itachi placed his erect shaft at Sakura's passage and teasingly rubbed it against her womanhood, earning him excited moans from Sakura. His member was basked in her juices as he continued his torture on her.

"What is it you want Sakura-chan?"

Her grip tightened on him as she squeezed her eyes shut and threw her head back. Sakura tried suppressing the moans of ecstasy that left her throat but to no avail.

"Oh Kami-sama! Itachi finish me now! I'm going crazy!"

That was all he need before he buried his member deep within her. Penetrated for a few seconds, Sakura rocked her hips back and forth eagerly. Itachi sucked in air to keep in control but lost to his beast like side.

Pulling halfway out, Itachi slammed into her tight passage and increased his pace. Driving into her with all his force, Sakura's breasts juggled from the impact as she wrapped her legs tightly around his torso.

Both came after the other, Sakura was first and Itachi second. They lay in bed, arms wrapped around each other. Pulling one another closer to their body heat...

Jolting awake, Itachi clutched his racing heart as he tried regaining his breath. Once again his body was covered in sweat and he had sudden urges that he knew himself he could not and would not fulfill.

Turning on his side, Itachi watched as the moon rose to its highest peak in the black velvety sky, starts scattered everywhere and brightening the sky.

Sakura's image blurred his vision and her angelic laughter filled his ears. Tightly shutting his crimson eyes, Itachi placed both hands over his ears and tried blocking out the kunoichi image.

Feeling somewhat at ease, Itachi fell into a peaceful slumber, all thoughts of Sakura vanishing from his mind and for once the haunting dream ceasing to be known...

XxXxXxXx

Awakening from his slumber, Itachi focused his blurred vision on a person sitting near the bed he was resting on. Blinking twice, Itachi knew at once that it was Sakura who was in the recovery room.

"Good morning Itachi..." She said in a monotone voice.

Naked images of Sakura in his dreams appeared before Itachi's eyes as he gripped the bed sheets covering his body.

Nothing more than a friend...

Nothing more...

No matter how many times Itachi tried to tell himself that, his body acted on its own accord. He wanted to pull the woman he hardly knew so close to him, like he did in his dreams. It was like he was becoming a whole different person!

Looking away from the kunoichi, Itachi focused on a random object and all thoughts of Sakura left his mind. That is... until she spoke once again.

"Is something wrong Itachi?"

Vigorously shaking his head, Itachi clutched the bed sheets tighter in his grasp and gritted his teeth. He could hear her footsteps making contact with the stone floor as she moved towards the beds edge and outstretched her arm, hand coming oh so close to his face.

She placed the back of her hand against his forehead and kept it there for a few more seconds before pulling away and sighing.

"It seems that your fever is going down. You should still take medication to be on the safe side."

Looking up at the pink haired woman, Itachi watched as her hands descended closer and closer to his body.

Moving away from her and slapping her hand away, Sakura stared wide eyed at the Uchiha before holding her hand close to her heart. Tears rimmed the bottom of her eyes as she slowly backed away from Itachi.

"Just leave." He said in a stern tone.

"Go!"

Her feet seemed to have a mind of their own because they were carrying her towards the front door until they brought her near the training grounds. Sakura let a deep breath out as she felt the wind whip her hair around and dance with the oncoming breeze.

Maybe a walk will help.

Sakura began walking away from Akatsuki, towards a bear part of the woods, where there were little trees. The wind against her tear filled face felt so good... The pink haired kunoichi stopped in a clearing as she hugged herself and walked deeper in.

A small chuckle could be heard as she took another step. Looking around, Sakura was on her guard and awaited who ever was in the forest. Her breath did hitch in her throat as she stared into a pair of deadly onyx eyes.

"Well... look who I found." Came his familiar voice.

Before Sakura could even turn her body around she was held from behind. Both her arms behind her back as his lips drew closer to her ear.

"Sakura..."

Her name rolled off his tongue as she shuddered in pure disgust. Why now of all times had she picked to take a walk, when Uchiha Sasuke was in the forest as well! As she was turned around, Sakura was able to get a good look at him before a hand clamped over her mouth to prevent her from screaming.

Sasuke! His attire had changed drastically! He wore a blue kimono top; the front was opened so that you could see his muscled chest. And a pair of jet black hakamas adorned his bottom half. The same bow like sash was around his waist! The same one Orochimaru wore!

He betrayed Konoha again...

Typical...
