I Don't Own Naruto

Warning: a little lemon in this chap

Sakura stared at the man before her as if he had grown another head. His? She didn't quite understand that because the last time she checked Sasuke didn't have feelings for anyone but his mother. The Sasuke she knew was stone-cold and he didn't give a shit once something didn't concern him.

That was just the way he was, just the way she liked him; cold. But…somehow it wasn't an emotionless man that was standing in front of her. His eyes which were normally frozen solid or devoid of any emotions what so ever now blazed a fire that she had never seen in them before. There was for the first worry there in the depths of his onyx eyes Sakura noted as she sank into nearby chair.

Her vision blurred and she couldn't see anything, hell she couldn't even think straight. To say that he had shocked her was an understatement so Sakura did the next best thing. "Are you feeling okay?" Sakura asked in a shallow voice. Sasuke spun around to face her and charcoal eyes but stunned green ones.

"Of course I am feeling fine. Why the hell won't I be?" He demanded and Sakura just stared at the man in front of her like he was a complete stranger and maybe he was because she had never seen him like this. He seemed…haunted in a way.

"Good," Sakura said swallowing with great difficulty, "now that topic of your health is out of the way. What did you just say to me?" Sakura demanded incredulously.

Sasuke regarded Sakura with wry eyes; she was tired he could see it in the slight slump in her shoulders and the distant look in her eyes. As if that weren't enough she had no color in her in her face. Maybe he should have waited until tomorrow to have this conversation but he couldn't wait. He couldn't stand the fact that the one good thing he had in his life his heartless brother was now trying to take away… he wouldn't let him have her.

"I can't let Itachi have you when I want you to myself in fact no one can have you Sakura because you are already mine and I'm not sharing." Sasuke said his fist clenching as he took a few steps towards Sakura.

Sakura's eyes widen as she saw him begin moving in her direction. "Now just wait a minute," Sakura held up a finger as she got to her feet and proceeded to put said chair she had just vacated. "I don't understand you. One minute –no, not one minute for as long as I've known you, you were never one to show emotions, so what the hell brought this on?" Sakura demanded taking a few more steps back.

She certainly had never entertained and any romantic feelings for him nor had she made any advances on him ever. She had known better and that was because she had been placed on the same team as him and Naruto, two very strong ninjas. Sakura had been determined that she wouldn't allow any of them to protect her she could do that herself and she had done just that.

"My brother brought this one. I won't let him have you Sakura." Sasuke said in a threatening tone. One that Sakura recognized as tone he used when he was about to have his own way. Wait…no way was that going to happen. One Uchiha was enough hell he was more than enough, he was too much in fact.

"Look Sasuke whatever as come over you snap out of it I'm already marry your brother there is nothing neither you nor I can do about it." Sakura said placing a slender had to her forehead and mild headache had begun just as Sasuke had let lose that bomb stunned her stupid.

The weight of the day was suddenly catching up to her and she felt bone tired. "You should go I'll see you tomorrow maybe then you will have come to your senses." Sakura said her hopes of everything going back to normal suddenly paramount. So paramount in fact that she hadn't noticed when Sasuke had move silently across the living room towards her.

His strong hands form bands around her slender wrists to form shackles as he drew her closer towards him. "You're right…" He said almost in a strain whisper which made Sakura glance up to see his face it was devoid of any emotions again just the way she was accustomed which made Sakura almost sigh in triumph a smile formed on her shell pink lips as she regarded him. But the smile froze on her lips when his hands tightened and he begun leaning into her.

Oh God… Sakura thought as she shrunk away from him there was no way she was getting away from this. Sakura closed her eyes tightly as she awaited the assault of his lips. They didn't come though his hands had released her lips and had slid around her waist instead holding her tightly. Almost drunk with relief Sakura opened her eyes only to stare into the deep furious crimson eyes of Sasuke's older brother.

Itachi stared into wry emerald eyes and tried to control the anger he felt building inside him directed towards his brother. A muscle twitched in his jaw and his arms tightened further around Sakura's waist almost crushing her to him. He was doing it on purpose her being this close calmed him in fact it was what kept him from ripping Sasuke limb from limb.

"Leave." He said coldly without turning to face Sasuke. It was enough that he had taken a liking to Sakura Itachi could understand that because Sasuke wasn't the only one that fancied Sakura in Konoha he knew many other men who did too but the problem lay in him touching her. No one touched her but him.

It was selfish of him he knew that but he couldn't help it, being possessive of Sakura came naturally to him as natural as he breathe oxygen and he wasn't about to let anyone else touch her. Sakura was wearing her pajamas he noticed and his temper raised a notch when he took in her shorts and skimpy top.

"I won't tolerate anyone but myself touching you Sakura." Itachi said as he let go of her. Sakura stumbled but regained her balance and her fire as if she was now registering what was going on around her little apartment.

"I hate Uchihas." She spit the words out with scorn the stormed off to her bedroom and slammed the door. Itachi heard the lock click then the deadbolt slammed home and he couldn't bite back the smile that rose to his lips. She was such a hell cat.

Sakura woke early as normal and began setting her room in order recalling the ugly scenes that had transpired last night. She was stuck in a kind of haze and couldn't seem to get out of it no matter how much she tired.

If only life wasn't so complicated, if only she didn't have to marry Itachi, if only she hadn't been on the same team as Sasuke. If only, if only was this what her life had come to? A miserable road with big signs of if only? No she wouldn't allow it. She wouldn't allow Itachi nor his brother to ruin her life. She was already tied to one as it was and that was enough she couldn't deal with another one and she wouldn't either.

Grumbling to herself Sakura unlocked her bedroom door her bare feet touching the cold hardwood floor as she stepped into the living. She froze when she saw him there sleeping on the chair. He was out cold Sakura realized as she took in his relaxed features. His face was so relaxed that Itachi could easily have been another man except the stress lines on his face stood out as if to state that it really was him. Trans-like Sakura drifted over to the man that was occupying her chair.

It was like she had never seen him before, Sakura noted as her fingers reached out of its own accord to brush away the stray lock that fell over his forehead. Her fingers lingered as if by some weird jutsu she was suddenly fascinated by the smooth contours of his face. Itachi sigh and leaned into her fingers, caught up in the moment Sakura leaned in, her face mere centimeters from his then she froze as she realized what she had been about to do.

She began to pull back immediately but a hand shot out and curved around her waist as onyx eyes snapped opened to stare up into her own green orbs. He pulled her on to him then settled her so she was straddling his hips. Then he regarded her with slightly narrowed eyes.

Sakura give a start as she really realized where she was and on whom. She scrambled to get off of him but both of his hands kept her in place where Sakura could feel the ridge that was poking at her from between his legs and deep blush rose from the tips of her toes in a crushing tide as she realized that he had an erection and he wasn't the least bit uncomfortable with her practically sitting on it.

Itachi's hand ran up Sakura's leg then settled on the curve of her hips, she move to get away from him but instead the action sent an unwanted tread of lust through her she gritted her teeth and moved again only this time Itachi let hot a soft moan and she froze above him her eyes sliding quickly to meet his own.

"Itachi…what–" the rest of her words died in her throat when he flipped them in reverse positions so that he was on top and she was beneath him. Itachi captured her lips with his sucking gently on her frozen bottom lip so that she could free up to him. When she didn't he deepened the kiss punishing her with his tongue until she yielded, giving into his ministrations with a like moan of her own.

Itachi smiled his pleasure at her cooperation further deepening the kiss when she reached out for him. Sakura slid her hands in his hair and pulled his head closer hers. This wasn't how Sakura had wanted her relationship with Itachi to begin but right now with him above her and kissing her like he wanted what she wanted just as much as she wanted him she threw caution to the wind.

Sakura wrapped her legs tightly around Itachi's torso and moaned when he moved against her most private place. His hand slid up her leg and settled on her plump breast extracting another moan of pleasure from her lips.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!...WE DIDN'T MEAN TO WALK IN ON YOU GUYS…..MY EYES! I"LL NEVER BE THE SAME!" Sakura heard a distant familiar voice that sounded like Naruto's and she froze beneath an already cursing Uchiha.

"I'll kill him," she heard Itachi muttered as he pushed his weight off of her. Feeling like her face was the handiwork flamethrower Sakura turned her head and immediately wanted to die as she saw Naruto's retreating figure and a furious Sasuke glaring dagger at her.

Sakura had never in all of her life wish to die but she did right now. She wished the floor would open and take her in solve all her problems. Sensing her discomfort and obvious embarrassment Itachi drew her frozen solid form close to his side then he sent his brother a glare that clearly wanted him gone….

Sasuke regarded them both with one final glare before he turned on his heels and vacated the apartment. Sakura buried her head in her hands and tried really hard not to cry. How was she ever going to face Naruto again? Forget Sasuke she didn't give a shit what he thought.

If only she hadn't given into her desires and returned Itachi's kiss none of this would have happened. "It's alright." She barely heard Itachi say and felt his lips brush her temple before he got up and headed towards the kitchen. Oh what little respect Naruto had of her would be gone now. She would never be able to look him in the eye again….

"No Ino I haven't slept with him yet." Sakura said annoyed by the fact that just this morning she had been about to do exactly that on her chair this morning if the hadn't been interrupted. Feeling her face heat up Sakura quickly buried her face in the bridal magazine that Ino had insisted she read.

"How could you resist?" Ino said in a dreamy voice. "Uchiha Itachi is sex on legs if I were in your place I would have already raped his sweet ass." Ino said with a wicked grin that made Sakura blush as she could only imagine what was going on in Ino's warp mind.

"If you weren't my best friend Haruno and I didn't already have Shikamaru I would have been very jealous of you. But as fate would have it we are best friends and I do have Shikamaru so I'll wish you a very happy married life to Uchiha Itachi." Ino said in a sincere voice and Sakura felt like an eel for not telling Ino the truth. But it was better this way if Ino only found out then so would the rest of the village the young woman's mouth literally had no cover.

"Here are some more magazines you can take them home with you when you're ready to leave. Oh and before I forget. I want you to take a look at what I have planned out for the decorating of the Uchiha manor." Ino said going back behind the shop counter and taking out a large sketch pad. The blonde walked back to Sakura who was seated on one of the benches that were strategically placed in the shop so that customers could relax in the profusion of scents emanating from the various flowers around the shop.

Ino pulp down on the bench beside Sakura and flipped the sketch pad open to the designs she had drawn for her friend's wedding. Sakura gasp as she stared at the mixture of purple white and pink carnations all so perfectly arranged around the sketch of the Uchiha manor. At the gate of the manor Sakura saw how Ino had carefully woven the stems of the flowers through the iron work of the gate that it looked almost as if the plant itself was growing from the iron. Along the paths that led into the clear fields were Ino had sketched a stage with an grand arch and hairs facing the stage there were more flowers all strategically placed.

Another carnation lined path split the sea of chairs and ran right up to the stage managing to look as if it was there all the time flowing like a river. "I love it." Sakura said in a hoarse tone. She wouldn't cry no tears. Think of how much you hate Uchihas, she told herself and it worked.

"Thank you so much Ino it's beautiful." Sakura said with real feelings maybe planning a wedding wouldn't be so bad after all.

"Know what the best part is thought?" Ino asked with a sheepish grin. "You don't get to do anything. I know how much you hate this planning stuff." At Sakura's surprised face Ino made a tsking sound. "I know you too well Haruno. Anyways as I was saying I will help you out."

"Thanks Ino you're a life saver." Sakura said grinning from ear to ear like an idiot.

"Oh here comes your fiancé's brother." Ino said under her breath.

"Otto-san would like to see you Sakura." He said in an emotionless voice but Sakura could see emotions in his eyes. Betrayal…that was what she saw reflecting at her. Well she would be darn if she was going to apologize to him for what happened this morning after all Itachi was her fiancé that she had been kissing not some random stranger even if her fiancé really did seem like a stranger.

This was going to be one long day….
