Hey there everyone. Thanks for reviewing. Here is chapter 8.

Laconic Encounters

"Shit," Itachi yelled as he jumped out of his bed after glancing at the clock.

"Itachi, what are you doing," asked the voice of a girl that was still half asleep under the covers of Itachi's bed.

"Ami, get up. It's 1:30pm," Itachi said void of all emotion.

"So... just go back to sleep," Ami said with a yawn.

"We missed all our morning classes and half of lunch. Get out of my bed," Itachi said with slight annoyance.

"Geese, for someone that I let fuck me last night, you sure are pretty uncaring," she stated boldly.

"hn," Itachi stated somewhat amused.

"What's that suppose to mean," Ami asked.

"It's funny how you seem to think that you let me fuck you last night, when in actuality you, along with basically every other girl at this school, were the one begging me to let you come to my bed," Itachi answered arrogantly. The room was met with silence. "Just as I thought," Itachi said as he zipped up his pants and started to button his collard shirt. "If you're lucky, you might just get the chance to come back here in the future. But, I wouldn't hold my breath. You weren't that great, and there are plenty of other girls at this school that I have yet to explore," he said while tying his tie. With that said, Ami slowly got to her feet and started to dress herself as well. "Good girl," Itachi said as he caressed her face along her jaw bone. Itachi then grabbed his book bag and walk out of his room, leaving Ami to finish getting ready.

"Sasori stop, that's not good for you," Sakura said as she tried to grab a packet of meth and a flask of scotch away from Sasori.

"Mary, it's okay. I need something to calm me down a little," Sasori said as he swallowed the meth and took a long swoosh from his flask.

"I wish you didn't do drugs," Sakura stated sadly.

"Yeah, me to," Sasori agreed with a small smile.

"Then why do you," Sakura asked confused.

"It's a long story; lets just get to lunch," Sasori said trying to avoid the topic.

"Well well, what do we have here? Itachi Uchiha, getting out of bed at one thirty are we? Your parents must be proud," Kisame said as Itachi made his way over to the lunch table.

"Hn," was all that was said in reply. He gracefully sat down in the seat with his back to the balcony railing overlooking the entire lower section of the cafeteria.

"So, long night," Kisame inquired with a toothy grin.

"You could say that," Itachi answered with a slight smirk.

"So, who the fuck was it," Hidan asked impatiently.

"Yeah, who'd you bang," Kisame added, just as curious as Hidan.

"Just that Ami girl," Itachi said as he grabbed an apple from Kisame's tray and bit into it.

"That girl is fucking hot as hell," Hidan said as his eyes started roaming the cafeteria for Ami and her group of friends.

"She any good," Kisame asked with that toothy grin of his.

"Na, she was a waste of time, and she has been around the block a few times," Itachi answered as he took another bite of Kisame's red apple. "You can have her Hidan, if you want," Itachi added.

"Fuck yeah," Hidan cheered.

"Hey Itachi, I'd turn around and look down at the main entrance if I were you," Kisame warned with a toothy smirk.

"Why," Itachi questioned without making any notion of turning around.

"Because you should see the hot piece of ass that Sasori has with him," Kisame answered with his smirk still very evident. With this said, all of the guys at the table turned around and look down to see Sasori and Sakura as they made their way into the cafeteria.

"Tobi doesn't think Sasori has a hot ass," Tobi said.

"He wasn't talking about Sasori you fucking idiot. He was talking about the fucking hot girl with him," Hidan told Tobi.

"Oh, you mean the pretty girl with pink hair," Tobi asked.

"The fucking hot pretty girl with pink hair," Hidan corrected.

"What do you think Itachi," Kisame asked.

Itachi remained inconversable. He just sat there staring fixated on the ravishingly beautiful girl with elongated pink hair that stood on the lower section of the cafeteria below him. He analyzed every constituent of her flawless body. He studied her graceful movement, the way her hair swayed with each step she took, her shapely thin legs, her curvaceous hips, her small yet befitting chest, her delicate figure, and most of all her stunning emerald green eyes that seemed to shine brilliantly against the light in the cafeteria. She was perfect, and at that second Itachi was determined to make her his. "I'll be back," he stated void of all emotion as he started walking with an air of confidence down the large mahogany staircase, only focusing on the beautiful girl that was now seated at a table across the cafeteria.

"Well, we know what he'll be doing tonight," Kisame said with a small chuckle.

"What, sleeping," Tobi questioned.

"Well, here we are Mary; the Saint Michael's Academy cafeteria," Sasori said while pushing open the two large dark wood doors. Sakura stood there with her mouth agape. The room was enormous, and sat a large number of students. It was elegant, and like the rest of the school held the same gothic look to it. The tables looked to be made of pure dark mahogany with chairs to match. Along the second floor part of the room were large stain glass windows of assorted colors that allowed for light to enter beautifully into the room. The ceilings were high and sat a good three floors up, and were covered with a gorgeous rendition of the sistine chapel. The floor was made of flawless stonework, and the room was lit with the most stunning chandeliers you could ever see. Along the second floor windows sat a balcony level that twisted around the room and had many different exits that lead to other sections of the building. The balcony also sat a few tables and could easily be accessed by the huge staircase that sat on the opposite side of the room from the main exit where Sakura stood. "Come on Mary, It's not that big of a deal," Sasori teased with a playful smile.

"Are you kidding me, It's amazing," Sakura stated with shocked eyes scanning over every inch of the room in front of her.

"Yeah, okay. It's pretty cool," Sasori gave in, while pulling Sakura along into the huge room. As they made their way down the middle aisle of the dining room, Sakura felt the stares of a lot of the students. "Ignore them, Mary," Sasori said while placing an arm protectively around her waist, trying to ease her discomfort. "They're just jealous or stunned," he added.

"So, where are we sitting," Sakura asked, still a bit uncomfortable by all the onlookers.

"Over here is fine," Sasori said nonchalantly as he lead Sakura to one of the small four person tables in the lower section of the cafeteria. Sakura sat facing the balcony, while Sasori sat down lazily next to her. "I'll go get us some food," Sasori stated while getting up. "Come find me if you need something," he advised while starting to walk toward the serving windows, which were conveniently placed right under the balcony on both sides of the giant staircase. He easily made his way over to the stairs and paused as he met face to face with Itachi. "Itachi," Sasori greeted plainly.

"Sasori," Itachi greeted back with the same amount of cheer. Tension filled the air as the two stood there continuing to stare into the eyes of one another. After a minute or two the guys parted their ways. Itachi headed strait down the main aisle without looking back, while Sasori started walking backwards, watching Itachi, as he himself made his way to the lunch line. 'What's he up to,' thought Sasori as he narrowed his eyes at the Uchiha's back. 'Agh, who cares,' Sasori thought as he turned back around to continue walking straight for the cafeteria line.

Sakura sat there at the table looking around the dining room at all the students. There were so many of them and Sakura couldn't help but feel insecure next to so many people she didn't know, which was saying a lot considering Sakura was a very secure person. As she was lost in her train of thought, she was quickly brought back to reality as a guy leaned with his back up against the side of her table with his arms crossed. He gently turned his head toward her and gazed at her with his hypnotizing dark ebony eyes. His hair was tied back into a low ponytail with a few shorter pieces hanging along the side of his face. It's color was a shining shade of onyx, completely complimenting his eyes in every right way. His face was manly and held a strong well defined jawbone, while it also held a glimpse of youth. Aside from slight crease lines under his eyes, his face was flawless. 'well, if he's going for that whole tall, dark, and handsome look then he has totally hit the mark,' Sakura thought as she continued to look at the guy staring down at her. Minutes passed and he still had yet to utter one syllable. Sakura was starting to feel uncomfortable under his intense stare, and looked away. At this he simply smirked. Sakura looked back at the guy in front of her. "What," she asked somewhat annoyed by his smirk.

"Nothing," he said back with the smirk still evident on his face.

"Why are you looking at me," Sakura asked uncomfortably.

"No reason," he answered.

"Well it's not polite to...," Sakura started to state, but was cut off.

"What's your name," he inquired.

"Sakura Haruno," she stated.

"Hn," he said as a response.

"what's yours," Sakura asked back.

"Itachi Uchiha," he answered. "Are you new," he asked casually.

"Yes, I just got here today from...," Sakura said until she was once again interrupted, but not by who she thought she would be interrupted by.

"Hey there Cherry Blossom, yeah," Deidara said as he tenderly wrapped both his arms around Sakura, while he placed his chin on her shoulder. "Itachi, what are you doing here, yeah" Deidara asked protectively with his eyes looking straight up at the guy in front of Sakura.

"Just welcoming a new student," he replied back smoothly.

"Well, I highly doubt that they would choose you as someone to welcome newcomers to our school, yeah," Deidara responded with a smirk.

"Hn," Itachi said and started to walk back toward his table.

"That guy is an asshole, yeah" Deidara told Sakura as his eyes narrowed toward Itachi's back.

"He's not that bad," Sakura calmly protested. "But, he did stare at me for a while; it was sort of uncomfortable," Sakura added.

"Just stay away from him Cherry Blossom. He's no good, yeah," Deidara warned her.

"Look what we have here. The notorious ladies man Itachi Uchiha was outdone by Blondie. How amusing," Kisame teased as Itachi once again took his seat with his back facing the lower section of the cafeteria.

"Bad timing, that's all," Itachi responded.

"Please, he outdid the fucking shit out of you," Hidan retorted. Hidan's comment was met with a killer Uchiha death glare that set him in his place. "Or not hehe," Hidan laughed uncomfortably.

"Hidan didn't swear; he's lying," Tobi stated in a playful tone.

Smack

"Shut the fuck up Tobi," Hidan said while hitting him hard. Itachi once again glared at Hidan.

"Tobi is delusional, he doesn't even know what's going on half the time," Hidan assured Itachi.

"Yes Tobi does, and Hidan was ly...," Tobi started to defend himself.

Smack

"Anyway, don't worry. You still have plenty of time to seal the deal, and it's not like she turned you down. Deidara just got in the way," Kisame assured him.

"I'm not worried," Itachi answered arrogantly while taking a bite of the apple he was eating earlier.

Yay, we finally have an antagonist to the story. Yeah, I know. I love Itachi too and I don't think he is purely evil, but I needed someone to play the bad guy, so here we are. Also, incase you didn't know, Ami is the girl with purple hair from episode 41 who made fun of Sakura, but got flowers thrown in her mouth by Ino when they were little. I hope you liked the chapter. I'm going to add a lot more characters so don't worry. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!
