"Welcome back you two." Mikoto smiled, turning to look at the two, she dropped the bowl she was drying, seeing Sakura. "Sakura what happened to you?" she asked franticly.

CHAPTER 5

Sakura was confused, then she looked down at the dress she was borrowing from Mikoto. "Oh... I'm sorry."

Itachi smiled, and finished for Sakura; "We were helping a ninja, and it kind of got messy."

A man walked into the room, with a serious look on his face, "Son, you shouldn't lie. I saw what you both were doing."

Sakura suddenly felt unsafe with Itachi's father staring at Itachi like he had done something wrong. "Gomen (sorry), sir, it's my fault." Sakura said quickly. Everyone's eyes turned to Sakura.

What! Why would she take the blame? Sakura didn't do anything and she is still taking the blame, but neither did Itachi. Mikoto was worried. She turned to her husband and whispered, "Fugaku, dear. Please, don't be harsh on the girl."

"Father she's a medic. It's her job to help even when others deny the help." Itachi mumbled quietly, his voice emotionless.

Sasuke came into the room and noticed how silent it was. He slowly walked over to Sakura and saw the sad look on her face. Sasuke tugged on the end of her dress getting her attention. Sakura picked Sasuke up, and held him close.

"Itachi, you should be training." Fugaku hissed at his son. Itachi kept quiet and looked at the floor. "You will train tomorrow, and that is final."

Sakura bit her lip seeing the way Itachi was being treated. Sakura gave Sasuke to his mom and suddenly ran out. Itachi's head went up hearing her cry as she ran away. "Sakura..." he whispered sadly.

"Itachi-nii-san, why was Sakura-nee-san crying? It hurts to see her cry." Sasuke whispered to his brother.

Itachi clenched his fist, but then tried to calm down from what his father had just done. "Yes father, I will train tomorrow. But now I have to go find Sakura." With that Itachi ran out, leaving his parents with his younger brother.

"Why does Itachi-nii-san, act so different around Sakura-nee-san?" Sasuke asked his mother.

"You shouldn't have done that Fugaku. Itachi cares about Sakura very much, and you made her cry. How do you think he feels?" she asked a worried look on her face.

Fugaku looked away, "That child is weak. Not fit to lead the clan with Itachi at her side. He'll find someone stronger."

"Love isn't like that!" Mikoto snapped. "You can't just stop loving someone because they're weak or strong." she whispered softly. "I didn't fall in love with you because of your strength; I fell in love with you because you were kind." Mikoto stomped out of the room with Sasuke in her hands.

Mikoto sat out in the garden with Sasuke on her lap as they looked at the beautiful flowers. "Okaa-sama... is Sakura-nee-san, going to marry Itachi-nii-san?" Sasuke asked as he sat on him mother's lap.

"Not if your father has anything to say about it." Mikoto hissed looking at the beautiful flowers. Sasuke looked up in confusion. "Your father thinks that Sakura isn't fit to be Itachi's wife, he thinks that Itachi should marry someone strong."

"But Sakura-nee-san is strong. You just haven't seen her. She could have killed Kakashi-san, with one punch." Sasuke said standing up.

His mother stood in shock. Sasuke wouldn't lie about that, especially when it includes an ANBU like Kakashi-san.

WITH ITACHI

Itachi was running around the city trying to find Sakura. "Sakura, where are you?" He suddenly spotted Kakashi. "Kakashi!"

Kakashi looked over to the Uchiha, "What do you want now Uchiha?" Kakashi asked looking up from a normal book.

"H-Have you seen Sakura?" he panted. "You're not reading a porn book for once, nice to see that." Itachi smirked.

"I haven't seen your annoying girlfriend. She probably ditched you for some stronger ninja." Kakashi teased. He suddenly felt the earth tremble underneath his feet. "Itachi, did you do that?" he asked.

Itachi looked as shocked as Kakahsi did. They looked to where the quake had come from and saw Sakura beating the shit out of a chakra wall that she made herself. "Thanks Kakashi, sometimes you can actually be of help." Itachi jumped off to find Sakura.

Sakura kept launching kicks and punches at her chakra wall. It was already starting to crack, but she didn't care, she just kept punching and kicking. Why am I so weak? I never will be able to make them happy. Just like normal, I find myself out here punching my own chakra.

She fell back, as her chakra wall exploded into thousands of glass shards. Her eyes trailed the village as she sat hugging her knees and sobbing. "I'm so weak!" she snapped, as her sobs jerked out.

Itachi kneeled down at her side noticing her tears; his heart felt like it was ripping apart. Sakura, please stop crying. Sasuke was right, it hurts to see you cry. Please stop. He went to her side and wrapped his arms around her. "Sakura, its ok, I'm here." he whispered softly rocking her back and forth.

Sakura put her head on his shoulder and continued to cry. "I-I'm s-sorry I-I got y-you in t-trouble." she stuttered sobbing even more.

"You didn't get me in trouble. That always happens, don't worry about it." he whispered as her tears slowly stopped. She looked up at him, and he looked down into her sea green eyes.

Those eyes... They're so worried, and sad. Was he sad because I was crying? They seem like Sasuke's, just happier. Itachi's just so nice to me, my heart feels stronger for Itachi, then it had ever for Sasuke. What she didn't notice, was that the space between the two was slowly decreasing.

She's happier now. Her eyes are so beautiful, along with the rest of her. I just wish father could understand how much she means to me. I'm so glad she's not crying anymore, it doesn't hurt now.

Sakura's lips were soft against his but they didn't even notice they were kissing until they parted for air. Itachi was shocked. Did she just kiss me? His whole body felt like jumping for joy. She kissed me, I feel so happy.

Sakura smiled and giggled, as she laid her head on his shoulder again. He's blushing. It's cute... Its getting dark we should be getting back before Mikoto-sama gets mad. I'm glad I'm here with him. Sakura sighed and smiled even more.

"Sakura, we should be getting back. It's not safe after dark." Itachi whispered. Sakura nodded as she stood up with her hand in his.

She nodded again, "I always feel safe with you around. Thank you, Itachi-kun." she smiled softly.
