Recap . . .

Slowly Itachi walked up to her and placed his hand on her back. "Sakura? What's wrong?" he asked.

"It hurts." She said. Itachi looked at her and saw that she was gripping her chest where her heart was.

"Hey, get away from her!" a voice called. Itachi looked up and saw another Sakura. In shock he backed away and watched as the second Sakura pulled the first one onto her lap. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"It hurts." Sakura wailed again.

"What hurts baby girl?"

"My heart." She said.

"I know mine too, but we can make it through this, trust me." The second Sakura began to rock the first one. "Look we have someone now, we can forget about this pain, we can get a new heart, a better one."

"No, I don't want to; he'll break it again, just like he did last time."

Itachi had seen enough he pulled out of Sakura's mind and fell back into his own. He heard Sakura take a deep breath when she came back into her own body, and start gasping for air.

"What did you do?" she asked.

"Sakura I think we found your blood line limit." Itachi said. Sakura looked up at him and gave him a smile.

End Recap . . .

Sakura waited as Itachi paced back and fourth around the room. She knew he had seen her inner self, but that wasn't the only thing he saw, she could feel it. "Itachi, what's wrong?" she asked.

Itachi glanced at her before stopping at the window. "Well you obviously know about half of your blood line limit, your second soul." he said his eyes burring into the afternoon sun. "there is another part though, something you cant sense out side of the body." Sakura was beginning to get a little worried, Itachi was scaring her, he was being to vague. "I think that you might be able to control people, kind of like the Mind Transfer Jutsu and the Shadow Possession Jutsu combined." Sakura looked at him with a little skepticism.

"Itachi, what exactly is going on?" she asked.

"I don't know."

"Itachi how can you not know?"

"I've never seen anything like this before Sakura, I need to do a little research on this." Itachi stood and walked over to the door.

"Itachi are you mad at me? Did I do something?" Sakura asked. Itachi turned around and looked at her confused. "The whole time I've been here, you wont look at me, and you cant stand to be in the same room as me. Itachi I'm a medical kunoichi, I can sense the strain on your chakra, I can tell you cant wait to get out of this room."

"You don't know what you're talking about."

"I don't?" Sakura asked, her voice rising a little bit. Itachi flinched back. "After everything you said that day in the hotel, and now you treat me like a virus, what happened?" she asked.

"Sakura you're confused, nothing ever happened."

"Bull shit Uchiha!" she yelled. "I though you were different from Sasuke, but I guess all of you Uchiha are the same." Sakura shoved past Itachi and slammed the door behind her, Itachi listened as she walked into the living room and sat by Deidara before he disappeared through her window.

"Sakura, are you okay?" Sasori asked when Sakura came storming out of her room.

"Yeah, it sounded like you and Itachi were fighting, un." Deidara said agreeing with his partner.

"I'm fine." Sakura lied. "Do we have anything to drink?" she asked heading for the kitchen. Sasori followed her into the kitchen and watched as she pulled out a sake jar and a cup. "You want some?" she asked.

"No, are you sure you can handle that stuff, it's kind of vile." he said when she made a face as the burning liquored dumped down her throat.

"I've had it once or twice, I only need three shots to get me numb enough to sleep, but not enough for a hang over, I'll be fine." she said drowning another glass. Sasori only shrugged as she drowned her third glass and slid the water clear liquid back into it's place and walk down the hall to her room.

Sakura felt like crying, but she wouldn't do it, she had spilt enough tears for Uchiha men, she would not cry, not now, not ever. Sakura fell into a restless sleep not long after the memory of Itachi's strong arms wrapping around her two years ago.

Itachi wandered the streets of the near by town in a dazed state. He never knew words could cut so deep. Sakura had said he was no better than Sasuke, but that couldn't be true could it? He knew he had been giving Sakura the cold shoulder since she came back, but that was mainly because he didn't know where her feeling were, and whether or not she still wanted him, obviously she did. But it was up to him to know the difference between right and wrong, she didn't want him, she wanted an escape, and he was the only way she would get that right now.

Making up his mind on what he was going to do Itachi walked back to the house and went to his room, everyone else was asleep. He walked in and froze. Sakura was laying on his bed, lips parted slightly, staring up at the ceiling. "So he comes back." she said not looking at him. He felt the pain of desire creep up on him.

He wanted her.

Bad.

He really needed to get away from her. "Look I have to go for a little bit, I just came to get something." he said walking over to his closet. "I want you to crash here, but in the morning you should talk to Deidara or Sasori about going into town to get clothes or whatever."

"Itachi, you never meant to kiss me did you?"

The memory of that kiss flooded his mind and he closed his eyes remembering every throaty moan. "No I didn't."

"Then why did you?" she asked sitting up on the bed.

How could he i not /I have? His jaw clenched and he ground his teeth together. He could feel his heart pound as his senses kicked in. He could hear every breath, every heart beat, every unspoken desire flooded around him. He should just go, leave her alone.

"Tell me why."

"Because you were too beautiful to resist." he whispered. A dark hunger curled in his belly, aching to hold her. He moved over to the chair that was to the side of the room, by the open window. He should get out of here, go find a fight somewhere, or get hammered. "Look I really have to go."

"Don't go, stay here."

"I have to go."

"Why?"

Itachi sighed and sat down. He could feel his erection pushing painfully against his fly, begging to be released. He was being torn between two things, pleasure and virtue.

Both hers.

"Are you just running away from me?" she asked. It was a taunt, she knew how to make him crumble, and that's why Kunoichi were so dangerous. They knew how to seduce even the most vile of men.

"Be careful, Sakura."

"Why?"

"Because I'm about to explode over here."

Sakura got off the bed and walked over to his side. He hand landed on his chest, over his heart, the other on his shoulder, and then she sat down on his lap, straddling him. His erection pushed up painfully and he let out a hiss.

"Are you going to send me away?" she asked.

"I don't want to take you until you're ready." he said.

"The hell with that!" she said.

"Sakura, I don't want to take your virtue until you're positive you're with the man you want to be with."

"Is that what this is about? Me losing my virginity?" she asked looking into Itachi's eyes. He didn't say anything only looked back at her. "Itachi, trust me that was taken from me along time ago."

"What?"

"My father is a nasty bastered, he raped me and my mother, I was an accident." she said. "If this whole thing as been about that, then I'm sorry, but I cant give that to anyone anymore."

A white hot rage flooded Itachi. He was going to kill the son of a bitch. Slash open his throat and let him bleed out.

"Don't tell me no Itachi." she said with a whisper. He hand left his shoulder and found his erection through his clothes. His hips jerked madly, and his gasp split the silence in the room. "You want me, just like I want you to take me." Sakura began rubbing her palm over his shaft, friction and heat passing through her hand and his clothes to his length. "Don't say no." and then she lifted up onto her haunches to press her lips against his.

i Game over. /i Itachi thought crushing her to him.

Itachi thrust his tongue in her mouth as he grabbed her hip with one hand, and her wrist with the other and began grinding himself against her hand. Her moan of excitement pushed him even higher, and as her nails dug into her back, he loved the pain, they told him that she was as hungry as he was. He had her on the bed and under him in a matter of seconds, crossing the room in two strides and laying her down on the silken sheets. He pulled her pants and panties off with one movement, and her shirt and bra were torn off in shreds as he dumped them on the floor. There would be time to savor later, right now it was all about the raw numbing sex.

While he worked her breasts with his mouth her nails scrapped across his skin as she pulled his shirt over his head. His mouth left her only long enough to step out of his pants. Then he linked an arm behind her leg and brought it over his shoulder as he went down on her with his mouth. His tongue swirled around her opening velvet softness caressing the folds of her sex. Sakura gasped as his tongue pushed inside of her. He fucked her in and out until her muscles were clenching around him and he body was shaking with her release.

Itachi smiled down at her as he covered her with his body. Itachi braced himself on his elbows before he slid home into her. Sakura let out a sigh and wrapped her legs around his waist as he began to move. Sakura could feel the pressure building inside her like a cloud before it explodes with rain. Itachi bent down and kissed Sakura hard on the mouth as he picked up speed.

"Oh Kami Sakura, you're so tight." He said with a grunt as he thrust into her. Sakura could feel her release coming and as she dug her nails into him she called out his name as a wave of pleasure over took her. She was still high on the orgasm as Itachi jerked inside her. She rode out her own, and then crashed into another as Itachi released deep within her.

Itachi kissed her forehead before withdrawing himself from her and pulled her against his chest as their breathing steadied itself once again. "I love you, Sakura Chan."

"I love you too, Itachi kun." Sakura said with a small smile. She had finally melted the ice around Itachi's heart.

Sakura woke and with a smile on her face cuddled against Itachi's chest the memories of the night before flooding back to her. "Are you awake?" Itachi's voice came.

"If I say yes do I get a kiss?" Sakura asked. Itachi chuckled and bent over her, his lips brushing hers. "Good morning." She said with a smile.

"Good morning." Itachi said pulling back the covers. "I'll be back in a moment." He said walking out the door. Sakura sighed and buried her head in the blankets once more.

Itachi had sent a message to Rosalina to ask her about what she had said. It was confusing and unnerving. Itachi knew he wanted to be with Sakura, but Rosalina had said that the woman he was destined to be with was a virgin, Sakura was not. Itachi walked out of the house where there was a small raven pacing back and fourth with a letter in it's mouth. Itachi removed the letter and walked back inside.

Sharingan,

I can see how this would confuse you. Sakura is the woman from my vision without a doubt, and you love her, that much is true. While she may not be a true virgin, she still saved her first by choice for you. She is only a virgin in the most sense of the word, she only gave herself when she wanted, without force. She is the woman you seek. Do not put so much faith in spoken words, they will be the downfall of all great nations.

Now it made sense, well somewhat. With that matter settled he walked back inside and climbed back into bed with the girl. She reacted immediately, wrapping her arms around him and burring her head in his chest. "Where did you go? Your body's cold." She whispered against his skin.

"Just checking the mail." He said stroking her hair. Sakura shrugged the matter off and played lightly with his hair. "Are you hungry?" he asked.

"No, and I think Deidara and Sasori are coming back to help me with my art lesson." She said moving to get up.

"Where do you think you're going?" Itachi asked grabbing her wrist and pulling her back into the bed.

"Itachi I have to go, besides it's only for a few hours, and you need a shower." She said slapping him playfully on the chest. Itachi smiled and kissed her knuckles before letting her go. Sakura snuck back into her room and got dressed in a deep purple sun dress, and was combing through her wet hair when Deidara and Sasori walked in.

"Good morning Sakura Chan." Deidara said with a smile walking up behind the girl. He smiled at her through the mirror.

"Morning Deidara, Sasori." Sakura said with a smiled walking over to the easel that was set up in the corner. "So what are we working on today?" she asked. Deidara and Sasori just smiled at each other and then looked at Sakura who was beginning to get a little worried.

Deidara and Sasori came clambering out of Sakura's room choking on smoke, and covering their mouths. "What the hell are you doing in there?" Kisame asked as he walked by.

"Trying to blow the place up." Sakura said stumbling out after them. Kisame shook his head and walked on by as the smoke cleared. Fortunately there wasn't much damage.

"Well Sakura, we'll see you tomorrow." Sasori said as he and Deidara walked away.

The girl sighed and walked back into her room where she collapsed on her bed with a sigh. "What's wrong my little blossom?" Sakura's head shot up and a smile crept on her face as her eyes locked on with Itachi's.

"Your teammates are crazy." She said with a smile as Itachi walked over to the bed and sat down beside her.

"No we're not!" Sasori called from behind the door. Itachi took out a kunai and shot it half way through the door. "Hey are you trying to kill us?" Sakura just giggled and leaned her head on Itachi's chest. For once she felt completely loved.
