Sweet Sensations
XxXxXxXx
"Mom..." Daichi breathed.
Shaking her head slowly, Sakura ran her fingers through his hair as she placed a kiss on his forehead and pulled away to speak...
"Your going to be fine, Daichi... Now rest."
Turing to look at Itachi, Sakura buried her face in the crook of his neck, holding him close for fear that she had nearly lost her son... He stroked her hair gently and whispered sweet nothings into her ear as she breathed deeply, in and out...
Sakura-chan!?!
Catching sight of Itachi embracing a pink haired woman, Naruto stood from the floor and opened his mouth wide as he began shouting.
"Sakura-chan!"
This caught everyone's attention as they looked to where Naruto's eyes were on; they all went wide eyed as they looked at Sakura who was supposedly dead... She too, pulled away from Itachi as she looked for the person who had called out her name.
"Naruto!?!"
Cerulean clashed with emerald...

Chapter 27: Finale
XxXxXxXx
Is that Naruto!?!
Is that Sakura-chan!?!
Standing from her spot on the stone floor, Sakura's emerald eyes widened as she looked at a fully matured Uzumaki Naruto... He too couldn't believe what he was witnessing at the moment; it was as if his eyes were deceiving him; his mind playing tricks on him...
An illusion...
They both ran, arms wide open until they were embracing each other in a friendly hug; filled with longing and relief...
"Naruto...?" She breathed.
He nodded his head as she pulled away and stared long and hard into his sky blue eyes... He had several wounds adorning his skin, which caused blood to stain Sakura's kimono.
"Sakura-chan... I- you... what happened?"
He couldn't even get one straight sentence to form and leave his lips as he looked down at the pink haired woman that was his former teammate... She wanted so badly to explain everything to Naruto but she couldn't bring herself to do so...
He'll just abandon me and think I've betrayed Konoha...
But really, I did...
Jumping away from each other as soon as a kunai was thrown at them, Naruto glanced over to where Sasuke was, a malicious smirk plastered on his pale face, sharingan eyes boring onto him; as if he were waiting, but for what?
Charging at the 6th hokage, Sasuke held his katana high and managed to graze Naruto's arm; blood stained his torn sleeve and fell to the floor; in a red bloody puddle...
Itachi grabbed Sakura from behind and brought her back to where Daichi was currently laying. Her eyes were still wide at who she had seen, Uchiha Sasuke! He pulled her against his sturdy chest as she continued to take in ragged breaths...
Placing a small kiss on the side of her head, Itachi turned the kunoichi to look at him. His demeanor was stern, brows knitted together in frustration, lips curved into a grim line...
"I'm going to aid Naruto, stay here and watch over Daichi." It was said as a command, not meant to be broken under any circumstances...
Leaving the pink haired woman, Sakura watched helplessly from the sidelines as her husband battled along side Uzumaki Naruto, in the attempts of defeating Sasuke. She clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white and she was forced to relax...
Why the hell is all this happening!?!
-
"Itachi!" Naruto grounded out.
"I want Sasuke dead, just as much as you do." Spoke the elder Uchiha.
Holding in a growl of annoyance, Naruto and Itachi worked as a team; even though they did not want to admit it, even to themselves... Ducking and jabbing Sasuke in the gut, Naruto stumbled backwards and against a wall where Sasuke advanced on him and was ready for the kill.
"Move!" Itachi yelled.
Doing as he was told, Naruto fell forward and ended up making Sasuke stab the stone wall. The eldest Uchiha used this to his advantage and tripped Sasuke with his leg; he quickly took out a kunai to finish the job but Sasuke beat him to it...
He pushed himself back up and preformed a few hand seals before unleashing his scorching flames aimed at the two. Itachi had gotten out of the way just in time, along with Naruto who was getting quite weary...
I can't keep this up for much longer...
Luckily Kakashi was still in pretty good condition and was currently fighting Sasuke off. The Uchiha was just as badly hurt as Naruto, though he didn't show it, he made every cut and hit he got look like he was bitten by a mere mosquito!
He's even stronger than before!
Maybe stronger than me!?!
Shaking his head to rid himself of such negative thoughts, Naruto dodged shuriken thrown at him by one of Sasuke's clones; Naruto had to admit that for a clone it was pretty damn strong! It fought exactly like the real Sasuke, agility and everything!!!
Gathering chakra in the palm of his hand and watching as the chakra became visible to the naked eye, Sasuke ran towards Naruto who seemed to be ready to faint. Ever so swiftly, Sasuke was successful with the attack and ended up piercing threw Naruto's abdomen; sending him soaring backwards and skidding across the room, to where Sakura was watching in absolute horror...
"Naruto..." She whispered to herself.
But soon it became loud and everyone redirected their attention to the screaming kunoichi.
"Naruto!"
"Naruto, wake up!"
"Please..." She whispered the last word as she began to cry while gathering chakra to her hands and placing it on his bloody abdomen; slowly healing the wide wound as best she could with her skills...
Her body fell on top Naruto's as she continued to sulk and beg him to awaken. Punching the floor and grunting in pain when she heard a few bones crack from the impulse. Sakura's once kind emerald orbs were clouded over with what seemed to be hate.
And they were directed at one person, and that person was Uchiha Sasuke...
"You... you bastard!" She cried.
Lunging forward and running towards the younger Uchiha, Sakura could only recall one attack that she was taught and right now it would surely come in handy. Gathering chakra to her hands once again, Sakura punched the ground and caused craters to be formed all over, making Sasuke jump and try to dodge them but in spite of it all, he was caught and as the dust and smoke settled down he was found in a bloody mess...
Her heart thundered in her chest as she regained her breath and slouched over, exhausted. When she had thought it was over, really it was only just the beginning... The supposedly dead Sasuke was nothing more than a clone as it disappeared in a cloud of white smoke...
Her head was tilted roughly back as she was pulled by the hair, her eyes watered and her vision blurred as she figured out exactly who was behind her at the moment. Sasuke held his long and blood stained katana so close to her neck that Sakura was afraid to even breathe...
"Now, that was a foolish thing to do, Sakura..." He spoke in a low voice, causing her face to contort in disgust that he was even this close to her!
Eyes widening in fear, Itachi made to move towards Sakura and free her from Sasuke but his little brother had other things in plan for her...
"Take another step and she dies..."
"It's your choice."
Her body trembled as her breathing came out in short breaths, eyes barely open as she wished that he would let her go...
"Please... Sasuke, stop this..." She pleaded quietly.
He shook her as she spoke and silenced her by letting the blade run across her neck, though not enough to cut her only to scare her, which it did. Her eyes immediately shut and her mouth quickly closed as she urged herself not to cry...
"You and I are alike, Sakura..." he breathed against her ear as he spoke.
"No..." She protested, not wanting to hear anything coming out of his mouth.
"Don't deny it Sakura..."
"We are alike, I betrayed Konoha and you betrayed Konoha..."
"No, stop it!" She cried.
"It's as simple as that..." He said finally.
This had caused the once wounded and unconscious Naruto to ball a fist and grit his teeth. He too didn't want to hear Sasuke, in fear that he would eventually see Sakura for what she really, truly was...
A betrayer...
"Shut. The. Fuck. Up!" Naruto said in-between breaths.
Taking a few steps backwards with Sakura still pressed against his chest, the katana still at her throat... Naruto stood on wobbly legs as he covered his ears with his hands, shaking his head violently while screaming in denial and truth...
"Sakura-chan didn't purposely betray Konoha!"
"Unlike you, Sasuke... you intentionally meant to hurt us!"
Stifling back a laugh, Sasuke held Sakura more tightly than before as he tried concealing the amusement that was rising inside of him, the very thought that Naruto was trying to protect Sakura when she was just as much a traitor as he was.
"How do you call sleeping with an S-class criminal not betraying Konohagakure...?" Sasuke countered back.
Naruto wanted to say something, he wanted to yell and attack Sasuke for saying such words, but his mouth hung open, nothing coming out; eyes scanning over Sakura who seemed on the brink of tears once again...
A loud howl of pain made everyone re-direct their attention to Sasuke who had let go of Sakura and sent her to the hard floor. Daichi held a kunai embedded into Sasuke's back as the Uchiha slumped over and also fell to the ground, blooding pooling around him as the crimson liquid spilt from his new wound...
The young boy stumbled away from the bleeding Uchiha with wide eyes. He didn't know what had come over him at that moment; but when he heard his mother cry and plead Sasuke to stop his actions, he seemed to just snap inside...
Like a whole other person took over...
Sakura still lay on the floor, not moving, Daichi could hardly notice her chest rising and falling with each and every breath she took. Summoning all of his strength, Daichi crawled over to where his mother was...
"Mom..." He shook her softly.
"Wake up."
Itachi hovered over the two as Daichi began to sob quietly; he still couldn't make eye contact with his father after what he learned about his murderous past...
"She's just exhausted..." Itachi assured his son.
Taking the woman in his arms, Itachi looked back at his brother; gasping for air as he tried crawling to where Itachi was leaving... Naruto as well as everyone else knew what must be done; knowing it would be hard to do...
"Sasuke..." Naruto started as he kneeled next to the Uchiha.
"Maybe if you're lust for power hadn't consumed you, things would be different..."
Taking the katana, Naruto watched as a single tear left his eye and hit the bloody floor, mixing with Sasuke's crimson blood. The Uchiha's arm reached out to where Naruto was; wanting him to spare his life and forgive him, but before he could choke out another word, Naruto punctured his throat with the tip of the sword...
Sasuke's fingers slid against Naruto's arm as his own arm finally hit the floor, never to move again... Hunching over, Naruto let many tears fall from his closed eyes and stain the Uchiha's cold and pale face as he grieved...
I'm sorry...
"Sakura-chan!" He cried.
Her vision blurred as the kunoichi awoke and struggled to escape Itachi's hold. He let her down as she searched for the kyubi holder.
"Naruto..."
He hugged her softly, bringing her close to him... He hadn't seen her in over 10 years and letting her go once again was going to pain him so much...
"Sakura-chan, what will happen to you?" He asked.
"I'm going to live my life..." She breathed.
"Where I belong..."
Smiling, Sakura pulled away from Naruto and took her place by Itachi's side; interlacing her fingers with his and giving Naruto and the rest of her old friends' one final look before leaving the room...
"Good bye... Sakura-chan..."
-
Deidara flew over head with Mayou, Sasori and Kisame; all 4 of them smiling happily at the 3 below them...
Mayou tightened her hold on Deidara as he urged the bird to fly faster, knowing it would scare the shit out of the blue haired woman. Punching him in the head, Mayou snorted with laughter as Deidara complained and rubbed a new bump...
-
Naruto, along with the others, left the castle. Blood stained each and every single one of them, making them smell like death... The 6th hokage, watched with curious eyes as the sun set beyond the horizon, behind large mountains in the direction of Konohagakure...
A smile graced his lips as he watched the sky darken and the stars come out to light up the way... Watching as a shooting star flew past in the sky, Naruto stopped abruptly and interlaced his fingers as he bowed his head and closed his blue eyes...
I wish Sakura to live a happy life...
Scratching the back of his head as everyone stared at him like he were crazy, Naruto gave them a sheepish smile and walked past them, even if a few of them laughed and others shook their heads, saying that's the Naruto we know...
"Itachi-teme..." He whispered; failing to notice that he added that suffix after his name.
"You'd better take good care of Sakura-chan..."
-
"Daichi..." Sakura started as she sat beside her son.
Itachi soon after entered the room, his eyes fixed on Daichi who avoided his piercing gaze. Sakura embraced her son and spoke soothing words into his ear as she rubbed his back and kissed his forehead.
"How long were you two going to hide the fact that dad's a murderer!?!" Daichi boomed.
Moving away from his mother and about to leave the room, Itachi broke the lingering silence as he turned to his only son; dropping his gaze to the floor...
"Daichi... I-..." He couldn't find the right words.
"Your father has changed, Daichi!" Sakura said abruptly as she stood beside the Uchiha.
"He's not like that anymore..."
Holding back outburst of all sorts, Daichi let his eyes linger on his father's face. There was regret in his eyes, even as he spoke...
"I was so foolish to kill my clan..."
"I've lived in denial for so long, thinking that it was for the best..."
It was like Daichi could feel his father's regret and pain radiating off of him... The young boy took a step forward, his gaze never leaving his father's face even as he stood directly in front of him.
"Believe me Daichi, if I could correct my mistake I would..." Itachi spoke, watching his son.
"Dad..." He whispered.
"I... I understand..."
Pulling his son close to him, Itachi crushed him against his chest as he embraced him. It surprised Daichi to say the least; his father had never really embraced him before, only when he was a small child...
Returning the hug, Daichi pulled away from his father and gave him his trademark smirk before parting his lips and speaking...
"Do you want to spar with me outside?"
Nodding his head, Daichi left the room to find a few weapons before running outside and calling Kisame to join them...
Smiling, Sakura was about to leave the room but Itachi gripped her arm firmly, pinning her against the bed and ravishing her slender neck... Crushing his lips against hers, Itachi let his hand slide up her leg and under her kimono as she moaned in delight...
"Kami-sama, Sakura I love you so much..." The Uchiha breathed out.
Arching against him, Sakura kissed him letting her tongue slip past his lips and dance with his own...
"I love you too, Itachi-kun..." She teased.
Making her moan and buck her hips against his groin, Sakura let out an exasperated breath and spoke out a few final words before giving into Itachi's pleasures...
"Are you trying to get me pregnant again?"
Chuckling, Itachi answered simply...
"Maybe..."
