Hi! How's you're summer going so far guys? Mine's boring . . . Oh that reminds me,

Stop telling me speed up my updating! I already told you I'm a slow at typing! No offense or anything it's just that reviews like: Update soon aren't encouraging. Putting a lot of lemon in my story would mean I'd have to make it rated M, and plus: They just met, hello!!!!!!!!! Sorry if I don't keep my promise . . .

Disclaimer: Why would I even write for Fan fiction if I owned Naruto?

'Sakura's or anyone's thoughts'

'Inner Sakura's thoughts'

'Flashbacks'

Breakfast for Dinner

Sakura jumped out of the chair with a smile and yelled to Deidara.

"Thanks Deidara-san!!!!!"

She slouched back down in the chair as Itachi stepped in her direction. He placed the tray on the desk and he spoke.

"You haven't healed yourself yet." Itachi said as he eyed the bruises and cuts on Sakura.

"First of all Itachi-san, you told me not to use chakra to heal myself. Second, why should you care?" Sakura stated matter-of-factly while raising a finger for each reason.

Sakura rolled the chair around to face the opposite direction of Itachi and sneered.

"I told you not to heal your arm, kunoichi. I'm beginning to wonder if you don't pay attention, or if you're just stupid." Itachi smirked at his own words.

"Hmph." Sakura responded coldly as she stared at the floor.

Itachi rested his hands on Sakura's shoulders and bent down. Sakura's slouch shot straight up and she stared forward, wide-eyed and quite afraid.

"If a medic-nin cannot keep themselves healthy, are they of any use to anyone, Sakura?" Itachi whispered darkly into Sakura's ear.

Sakura opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. She didn't dare remove her blurring sights from the wall in front of her. Sakura only shifted her head from left to right slowly.

"I see. Have you and I reached an understanding?" Itachi asked Sakura amusedly.

Sakura froze for a moment to think straight, ignoring the tint of red on her face.

'He's messing with you, Sakura.' Inner Sakura stated.

'Thank you Miss Obvious!!!!' Sakura retorted to her Inner-self.

'Don't let him intimidate you! Beat his sorry ass!!!' Inner Sakura cheered.

'Yeah! I won't let that bastard control me!!' Sakura thought.

Sakura shifted out of his grip, turned her head and smirked devilishly.

"Nope." Sakura's smirk formed an innocent smile.

Itachi shrugged, strode over to Sakura's bed and took a seat. Sakura kept a steady glare on the Uchiha. He simply ignored the violent gaze and shifted to a lying position.

"Eat. It's obvious you haven't done so in a while." Itachi stated as he put his hands behind his head.

Sakura's glare softened into an amazed stare. For a moment, Itachi looked . . . like a normal guy. It was very strange to her. The S-classed criminal, who murdered his whole family, looked like a bored teenager.

'Fore someone in his early twenties, he still looks like a teenager' Sakura thought absentmindedly.

'That is true and all but, ahem . . . WHY IN THE HELL ARE YOU DAYDREAMING ABOUT HIM OF ALL PEOPLE?!?!?!?!?!' Inner Sakura screamed.

'Oh, yeah. Gomenasai, I know better.' Sakura mentally slapped herself.

"Stop staring at me, and eat." Itachi stated as he turned his head in her direction.

Sakura stiffened and rolled the chair around, toward the desk. She blushed out of shame, and then groaned in disbelief. Once again, she would have to use fork and knife. Sakura gripped each utensil and steadied her dizzy gaze on the pancakes. She carefully cut them into fourths. Her hands shook with each cut so none were straight.

Sakura stabbed a slice and lifted it to her mouth as she shifted her gaze to Itachi. He continued to stare expectantly at her. As she finished her third slice she lifted the glass of water to her lips. Sakura's gaze drifted to Itachi again. He kept watching all of her movements. He analyzed every single one.

Before Sakura knew it, all of the water was gone. She thought she was thirsty, but wow! After another slice, she looked at Itachi from the corner of her eye.

'Why is he keeping such a close eye on me?' Sakura thought annoyed.

Sakura attempted to ignore the lingering gaze, and get back to eating. She reached out to the strawberries on the side of her plate. Itachi's firm grip on the back of her arm prevented that. Another hand extended ahead of her and lifted a strawberry off of the plate. His gripped slid away and he was back in his lazy position on her bed.

'How come I couldn't sense him?' Sakura narrowed her eyes at the trite Itachi.

Itachi's hands were behind his head again. So there were no clues to infer he'd even eaten the strawberry. Sakura shrugged and downed the rest of the strawberries. Itachi stood up and walked towards the door. He turned around and spoke to Sakura.

"Now that you've eaten, heal yourself. After that you go to my room. Deidara and Kisame will be there too. My room is across from the one we were previously in."

Sakura nodded in response. Itachi proceeded to the door way, and laid a hand on the doorframe.

" . . . Sakura-san . . ." He mumbled. 'Cherry blossom . . .' the name fit her too well.

"What?" Sakura narrowed her eyes. 'He has the nerve to call me by my name.'

'Unless I recall wrong, you told Deidara to, so why not him?'Inner Sakura stated.

'Because, Deidara's not an ass!' Sakura tried to seem reasonable.

'Whatever . . .' Inner Sakura left.

Oblivious to Uchiha she argued once more with her Inner-self. Unfortunately, Itachi's very observant. He turned around and gazed at her expression. She was staring right past him. 'She's arguing with herself.' Itachi thought amusedly. Sakura's expression kept shifting from anger to guilt, or something. Itachi just watched for a few moments.

"Sakura-san."

Sakura's head snapped up a few seconds after Itachi turned around. She put back on her emotionless façade.

"Hm?" She didn't feel like talking to him anymore.

"If you try to escape, I will not be as merciful as I was before." Itachi's hand slid of the door frame and hung gracefully at his side.

Sakura gave her arm a widened gaze for a moment then returned her hardened gaze to Itachi. Itachi took notice to the fact that she also slightly stiffened.

"Have you and I reached an understanding?" Itachi posed a familiar question.

Sakura gave the floor a frustrated gaze then turned to Itachi, who must have been smirking.

"Yes." Sakura lost.

Sakura stood from her chair and clenched fist at her side.

"But, what gives you the right to call me by my name?" Sakura gritted her teeth.

Itachi turned around and raised an eyebrow at the pissed Sakura.

"First, you told Deidara to, so I assume it means the same for Kisame and me."

Step

"Second, I don't like the way Haruno-san sounds."

Step

"Third, I'm Akatsuki, I don't need rights."

Step

Sakura kept her brave stance as the ebony haired Uchiha towered above her. They continued to glare daggers at each other for a few minutes. Sakura's fist shot up to Itachi's face, full of chakra. Itachi rather easily dodged it and guided it to the floor. There was a sizable hole in the mahogany wood floor. Sakura lifted her arm back up to see tons of splinters embedded into her skin.

Sakura winced in pain for a moment then looked back up to meet an annoyed crimson gaze. Itachi turned back around and slipped through the door. 'With a little bit of training, she could actually stand a chance against me.' Itachi thought as he sauntered down the hall to his room.

Sakura walked over to her bed ready to sit, but stopped in mid-sit. She stood up, pulled the comforter off, pulled the sheet off, and threw the pillowcases on the floor. Sakura was not going to sit on what Itachi Uchiha had been lying on. She sat on the cleansed bed and winced again in pain. Her arm was now not only bruised and cut, but splintered as well. Sakura's body was in no better condition.

Itachi told her to heal all but the five scratches on her left arm. Sakura closed her eyes and focused her chakra on the wounds most serious. Her healing process was taking longer than usual. Kisame must have used his Samehada, to lessen her chakra flow. As she healed her wounds she thought.

'I now work for, the man who destroyed my most treasured person's life. Who also tried to kill my best friend, and recently, gave the scar I will be forced to bear.'
