&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Sakura looked around. This is where the Akatrsuki base was all along? How stupid can Konoha get! How stupid could she be! The base was underground and it was right in the fire country!

She sighed. In her hands she had cradled Ryu and she was following Itachi down a long corridor. What was her life going to be like now? All she ever wanted was to live a normal life in Konohagakure with her Sasuke-kun…and maybe Naruto could be in it also….if he was lucky….and Kakashi also.

She sighed again. She was already missing Kakashi and Naruto and it wasn't even the third day since she decided to raise Ryu. Sakura had to admit that although it had been just two and a half days, the youngest Uchiha had grown on her. The way he smiled when he touched her hair. It seemed that was his favorite pastime.

She looked down at the child and smiled down at it. He was playing with the necklace she had around her neck.

That necklace…the only thing that still bonded Sasuke and her. If she lost the necklace, she would have nothing to remember Sasuke by except for the picture of team 7.

The necklace was a remembrance of a promise that Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi had done behind her back. When they did that promise, they had given her the necklace and each one gave her a small token to put on it. Sakura never knew what the promise was, but it had to do something with her she guessed.

The necklace had three tokens plus one that came with the necklace. It was a black cord and it had a pink cherry blossom petal, an orange bowl of ramen, a book that had a red circle with a line diagonally in it meaning no trespassing, and finally, her favorite, a red tomato. Those were the four tokens. She adored the necklace and sometimes would touch the red tomato and pray that wherever the person who gave it to her was, he would be all right.

Sakura was so lost in her train of thoughts that she didn't notice that Itachi had stopped and she bumped into him.

-"Sakura" he said.

-"Yes?" she said, afraid he was pissed with her for bumping her head against him.

-"We're here." Itachi stated. Sakura looked at where he was looking at and saw a red door. She looked at it quizzically. Who would paint their door red? Weird is the only word that Sakura thought as she glared at the door for some reason. Through that door was her future. She didn't like that one bit since her future isn't looking too bright.

-"Le-et's go" she stuttered, not really sure that she wanted to go in there. Something about that door got her a little uncomfortable. Sakura sensed the strong chakra and knew that someone important was in their. She started to walk towards the door when Itachi stopped her with his hand grabbing her arm and shook his head.

-"before you go in there, you must know something important." He said as he looked deep into her eyes.

-"Wh-h-a-at?" she asked even more nervous then before.

-"Ryu is yours and mine." He said.

Sakura looked confused at him. What did he mean? He sighed at how naïve the girl was.

-"You're going to say that the 'thing' is your child and mine. You are the mother of 'it' and I am the father." He looked at her expecting an understanding face, but she just looked even more puzzled. He sighed. How dense can a person be? "Sakura" he was losing his patience, if he had any in the first place. "You. Are. The. Mother. Of. My. Child. WE. FUCKED. TO. GET. THAT. CHILD." He said the words syllable by syllable.

What he didn't know was that Sakura already understood that part, what she didn't understand was why did she have to say that.

-"Why do I have to say that?"

-"I said so." He stated as he knocked on the door. Sakura's anger grew but decided to save her energy for later. God knows what she had to do to get into the Akatsuki's.

They heard a muffled voice from the inside. She didn't quite understand what the person had said but it seemed like Itachi understood perfectly well. He entered the room and signaled Sakura to follow. She nodded and proceeded with Ryu in arms.

They entered and it was pitch black. She couldn't make out where the walls were! Sakura didn't even know if someone was actually there or not.

Sakura squinted her eyes, trying to see if she could catch a glimpse of something. She heard a chirp and her eyes widened. Was there a bird in here? She was utterly confused.

Sakura looked up at Itachi and saw him with his sharingan activated. Of course, Itachi could see everything with that blasted bloodline but she was completely vulnerable.

She heard a voice mumble something that she didn't understand and saw how Itachi smirked. God knows what that weird voice said.

-"Arigatou (thank you)." Itachi said. Sakura stared. What the fuck is going on! She was getting pissed and once she got out of this predicament and she was once again along with Itachi, he wasn't going to leave alive without explaining what the hell is happening in here.

Sakura saw how Itachi grabbed her arm and pulled her out. He let go of her and signaled with a finger to follow him, once he finished closing the red door once again.

Sakura sighed. Maybe she'll ask him later.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

-"Enter." He said as Itachi pulled Sakura into the room. It was red and blue. The walls were red and his futon and the rest furniture was blue. What the hell? The desk was BLUE! This looked like a kindergarteners room!

-"What is with the…blue? And red?" she asked as she laid Ryu on Itachi's futon, she guessed. Ryu had fallen asleep a long time ago.

-"I don't choose. The Akatsuki are the ones that design the rooms. I preferred all black." He sat down on his futon as he stared at the child in his bed.

Sakura smiled at the look Itachi had on his face. He looked as the same stoic bastard if she hadn't studied 'Uchiha behavior' for so long. The truth was that his eyes were softer. He looked like he was enjoying himself by watching as Ryu's small chest heaved up and down. To think that this grotesque murderer could make something so beautiful…

-"He's cute isn't he?" Sakura said as she crouched down to get a better look at Ryu. Itachi snapped out of his thoughts and glared at the wall. He was letting his guard down for a stupid 'thing' like his son.

-"The 'thing' doesn't need to be cute, just strong." Itachi said as he stood up. Sakura's eyed almost bolted from her sockets. She quickly got up and glared at Itachi. He saw this and raised a brow. "What?"

-"Why do you call your OWN SON A 'THING'?" Sakura had passed that long enough. Itachi was going to answer her now. How could he call his own flesh and blood like that? Well, it shouldn't really surprise her because he had killed everyone of his own flesh and blood, except for Sasuke.

My head is spinning….don't know why.

I like the hyphens…they make me feel better somehow. (this is to one of my reviewers that I couldn't answer back because it wasn't from Sorry if they bother you.

Anyway, one of my reviewers said to make it a ItaSakuSasu thing. Vote guys if you think I should do this or not please! Thanks!
