--------------------
It's three o'clock and I still can't get to sleep. Questions race through my mind.'How could this happen?' 'When?' and 'Why?'. So far, I have no answers. All I know is that it happened. I've fallen in love with Itachi Uchiha. It's quite ironic, actually. Falling in love with my first love's enemy, and it's Sasuke's fault.
I want to wake Itachi up right now and tell him how I feel. But realization comes crashing down on me- Itachi will never love me back.Tears form in my eyes. I didn't even want this to happen! I sigh. Fate can be so cruel... My hateful thoughts about fate don't cease, and the time flies.
I feel Itachi's body move, and I close my eyes, pretending to be asleep.He gets out of bed and goes into the bathroom.I open my eyes and look at the clock.Who gets up at 4:34 a.m.!? I roll my eyes and lay motionlessly on the bed as I listen to the sound of water continuessly hitting the floor at a rapid speed as Itachi takes a shower. The door opens and I quickly close my eyes. I hear the closet door open, and I'm guessing he's about to put his clothes on... I'm tempted to peek at his form, probably only wearing a towel.
Common scence tells me not to, cause if he finds out, he'll probably kill me. But... I can't resist as I open an eye and see his bare back. My lips twitch upward. SO HOT! Inner Sakura looks as if she's about to melt. My eyes widen when Itachi looks over his shoulder, and our eyes meet. Busted... Uh oh...
"Haruno."Itachi says, his voice monotone, yet some suspision in his voice."Umm..." I start. "Isn't it weird how I woke up just as you looked at me?" I say, hoping he'd believe it. His eyes narrow. No! I'm too young to die! He stands up and turns to me. I bite me lip to supress a squeal at the sight of his unclothed chest. My face turns dark red.
He walks over to me, which wasn't far, his face betraying no emotion. I sit up as he stops right in front of me. My breath escapes me as he smirks, and amusement dances in his eyes. I quickly look down, but his hand cups my chin, forcing me to look at him. "It would seem as if you have some sort of interest in me." He says. I gasp. Does he know I like him? His gaze pierces my skin, and his touch makes me feel as if my heart is about to beat out of my chest.
I'm completely speechless, so I settle for a simple shake of the head. I swallow, and finally find the courage to speak. "N-No, of course not, Itachi-san." I say quietly. His smirk widens before he releases my chin and turns. He gets his clothes and walks back into the bathroom without a word.
I hide back under the covers. Why did he seem so amused by the thought of me liking him? Was it that funny for Haruno Sakura to like Uchiha Itachi? Maybe it's because of the age difference...Inner Sakura suggests. I'm sure she's just kidding, but... Does he see me as a child? I mean, I'm 19 and he's, like, 24! I was just kidding, Outer. Besides, that's only five years. 'Yeah, but...'
Itachi walks out of the bathroom, and goes back to the closet, probably to get his cloak. After he puts it on, I do the same. I clear my throat just as he's about to walk out the door. "Umm...Itachi-san...d-do you see me as a girl?" I ask. His brow raises just a little. "You're undoubtably female." He answers. I shake my head. "No...that's not what I mean..." I say quietly. He seems to understand, now, as he says, "Why do you want to have my opinion about that?" He asks, some traces of amusement in his eyes. I blush and look down.
"Well..."I swallow, my hands start to get clammy. "Umm...I just want to know if you think I'm an adult like you, or if you see me as someone that's childish?" I reply. "You definently don't look like a child, Haruno-san." He says before walking out the door. My face flushes. That didn't really answer my question, but...He thinks you have a great bod! I gasp. 'T-that's not w-what he meant!' I reply to my Innerself.
Suuurrreee...I shake my head and go to the kitchen to start breakfast.As I start to cook the rice, I say to Itachi, "I still need to work on your eyes.Maybe tonight I could try to heal your vision, at least a little?" Itachi looks over at me and nods.
Itachi, Kisame, and I eat in silence. It sure is quiet around here without Deidara... So I try to make small talk. "Umm...so when will Hidan and Kakazu be back?" I ask. Kisame seems a little suprised at my question, Itachi seems unfaultered. "Heh, why? Does the thought of me and Itachi being the only ones here make you uncomfortable?" Kisame asks. My eyes widen. Not really... "Umm, well...I was just wondering." I say quietly. Kisame chuckles at this. I raise my eyebrow, and I suddenly seem displeased. But I'm not going to say anything...of course.
"Three days." Kisame answers nevertheless. I nod. I finish my meal quickly, and head back to Itachi's room. Along the way, I accidently bump into someone. It's Nami, one of our servants. "Oh, sorry, Nami-chan." I say. She shakes her head. "No, I'm sorry, Haruno-san." She says and hurries off quickly, laundry basket in hands.
I sigh and continue back to my destination. I lay on my and Itachi's bed, thinking of a song to sing. I smirks as I think of a song that describes the way I feel about Itachi...
You're so good to me, baby
I want to lock you up in my closet, where no one's around
I want to put your hand in my pocket, because you're allowed
I want to drive you into the corner, and kiss you without a sound
I want to stay this way forever, I'll say it loud
Now you're in and you can't get out
You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me, baby baby
You're so good to me, baby baby
I can make you feel all better, just take it in
And I can show you all the places, you've never bee-
I stop as I hear a knock at the door. Oh, crap! Did someone hear me singing!? "Coming!" I say and get up off the bed and rush to the door. I open it to reveal a smirking Itachi. My breath escapes me... But his beautiful smirk vanishes and his expressionless mask is put back into place. "It's time to train, Haruno-san." He says. I nod and we head back down to the kitchen, and head outside.
--------------------
As we approach the training grounds, Kisame is already waiting there. That can't be good... "Today you'll be going against both of us, kunoichi." Kisame says. My eyes widen. "Haruno-san." I look back up to Itachi. "This isn't just a training session. We'll be fighting you as if you're our enemy, I expect you to do the same." He continues. My eyes widen more. Both of them...against me!? C'mon! We can do this! Don't cower out now, Outer! I mentally nod. 'Right!'
We get in our fighting stances, Itachi a few feet beside of Kisame, and me a few yards in front of them. I can do this! I attack first, I start to run torwards them. Kisame pulls out his Samehada, and Itachi looks bored. I roll my eyes, likewise. Once I get close enough, I punch my fist into the ground, creating a crater. They both jump back before it effect them. Kisame seems a little suprised by my strength. "You're stronger than you look, kunoichi, I'll give you that..." He says and charges at me. Too slow.
I quickly dodge his sword, and form some hand seals. He watches closely, and smirks. Three more of me appear around him. We all throw a punch and hit him, put he turns into a log. Substitution. He appears behind me, and hits me square in the back with his Samehada, knocking the breath out of me. I smirk, though, right before I turn into a puff of smoke.
His eyes widen as something hard and heavy hits him in the back of his head. That thing is a tree. The thing holding the tree is me. I smirk as he falls down, unconsicious. I turn to face Itachi who is standing on one of the tree branches of a tree. "Did you actually think you'd get rid of me that easily, kunoichi?" I turn around at the rough voice, and gasp. His Samehada hits me in the stomach, and I fall to my knees, holding my stomach in pain. He raises the Samehada over his head, getting ready to strike. Oh crap! 'C'mon, Inner! Help me!' My response is a burst of chakra that runs through my veins, allowing me to dodge just before the sword hits me.
"You have a pretty hard head, Fishy-san." I say. This enrages him and he charges at me. "Too slow, Sharky!" I say as I dodge. He glares at me, and again, charges. I barely dodge this one, but I keep mouthing off my arrogance. "Sppfftt, was that trying to hit me?" I ask in sarcasm. This time I land in a tree. I hide behind it and perform hand seals.
"Don't underestimate, girl!" He says and swings at the tree. I jump away as it falls to the ground. "Take a chill pill, Kisame-chan!" He curses at me and charges once more. I don't move. Just as he's about to cut my skull in half, he stops. He glowers at me. My clone, that he failed to notice, has tied chakra strings to his hands. He looks pretty stupid right now since his hands are wrapped around the handle of Samehada, which is raised above his head.
I smile at him, and punch him in the gut. He falls to the ground with a thud. I bend down to him. "This time I'll make sure you're knocked unconsicious." I whisper to him. He glares. "Night night, Fishy-chan." I say as I put tow fingers on the puncture points of his neck, and he goes unconsiscious.
"Impressive." I turn around and face Itachi. I smirk. "Thanks." I reply. I get into a fighting stance, Itachi doesn't. I roll my eyes and throw shurikan in his direction. He dodges and pulls out a kantana. I charge at him, he appears behind me. My eyes widen. I quickly make some hand signs right before he thrusts his kantana into my back. I used substitution, turning into a log, and then appear in a tree. 'Okay Sakura, don't let your emotions get the better of you...' I think to myself. I throw some kunai at him. He dodges. His eyes narrow, though, and he jumps out of the way as the exploding tags go off.
I get close enough to punch him, and I do. Except that this isn't the real Itachi, just a shadow-clone. I'm starting to get frustrated now... I look around franticly, searching for a trace of Itachi. Where is he!? I find myself in a usual position. Itachi's arm wrapped around my waist, his kantana to my neck. I gasp, though, as he slowly pushes it into my skin, making my neck bleed slightly. That's right; we're supposed to fight as enemies... Is he gonna kill me!?
I quickly try to elbow him in the stomach. No effect. It's getting harder to breathe, now, as the kantana goes even deeper into my throat. Tears form in my eyes. I'm not sure if it's from the pain, or from the fact that Itachi, my new love, might kill me. I've got to move. I wiggle my arms out of his grasp and form some hand seals. Before he can pull away, my clone thrusts a kunai into his arm. I can feel him flinch, and he lets go of me. My clone disappears, and I throw a punch. He tries to block it with his hand, but it only makes him fly into a tree. I gasp as he turns into a hundred back birds. It was just a clone! The next thing I know, I'm being kicked roughly into a tree. "Agh." I let out as I close my eyes in pain.
I can hear his footsteps coming closer. No... I must get up. I try to stand, but my legs have had enough, so they give in, and I think I'm about to break some bones when I hit the ground. But I fall into a pair of arms, instead. "Well done, Haruno-san." I don't even look up at Itachi's face, or move, because my world fades before I can.
--------------------
I wake up in my and Itachi's bed. I sit up and put a hand to my forehead. Ouch. I look over at the clock.7:32 p.m.I then notice Itachi sitting in a chair beside the bed. I can't help but blush a little. I look down at my hands that have suddenly become interesting. "You need to work on my eyes." I hear his oh-so-sexy voice say. I nod.
I hope I have enough chakra... "Ummm..." I say as I turn around in the bed, my legs dangeling over the edge, facing Itachi. "Okay...Uh, do you have a pencil and paper?" I ask sheepishly. He nods and opens the drawer to the small desk with the clock and lamp on it. He pulls out a pencil and pad. "Thanks." I say as he hands it to me.
I move close to his face, studying his eyes. Luckily, he doesn't ahve his Sharingan activated. I look away and scribble something on the pad. "Turn on your Sharingan now, please." I say. He closes his eyes, and when he opens them, they're red with three tomoe around his pupil. I nod and scribble something else on the paper. I put two fingers on each of his temples. "Umm...I'll have to use my chakra to study your mangekyo, since I can look at it." I say. As soon as he closes his eyes, I do the same and use my chakra to study his eyes. This seems to have done the most damage. I scribble things on the paper and read in over. I nod once I figure out how I'm going to do this. "Right now I'm just going to help his eyesight, if just a little." I say, he nods. I don't look him in the eyes, cause his Mangekyo.
I put my fingers back on his temples, and push warm chakra into his eyes, closing my own. "Itachi-san" I say. "Hn?" Is his reply. "This is going to hurt, okay. But try to stay still." He doesn't reply. I feel him flinch violently. My breathing becomes rigid. I don't have much chakra left...
Minutes later, I take my fingers off his temples, and open my eyes. "I'm done." I say once my vision clears. Itachi already had his eyes open... I blush. "Ummm... I'll work on them some more..." I trail off, getting lost in his now ebony eyes. They hold someting more... He's looking at me with...
I'm unable to identify the look in his eyes, as he stands up. "Thank you, Haruno-san." He mutters as he goes to the closet ans takes off his cloak. I look back at the clock. An hour has almost passed. But it's still too early to go to bed. "Umm..."I start. He glances at me. 'Just say it, Sakura! Tell him how you feel!' I swallow. "T-the reason I asked you about... uh, how you thought of me... a girl or a women, I mean... The reason I asked you was b-because..." I swallow again. This is too hard...
I walk over ot Itachi and look him in the eye. He waits patiently. Just say 'I love you'! Say it! "I..." I whisper as he looks at me with amusement and walks towards me. I back up, though unaware of my actions. Itachi only seems close as my back hits the wall. His face comes closer, I blush. His lips move to my ear, and says, "You what, Sakura?"
My knees suddenly feel weak. The way he said his name... there was something in his voice... it almost sounded dirty. My breath escapes me as he pulls away, looking into my eyes. There it is again, that something in his eyes. It's... lust? He totally likes you back, so tell him!
"I love you..." I say quietly and Itachi immediatly closes the gap between us. His tongue runs along my lips, I give him entrance. His hands snake to my hips, I moan as his tongue roams my mouth. I reply shyly, my tongue dancing with his. The kiss becomes hungrier, and I moan in pleasure as we start to battle for dominence. My arms are wrapped around his neck, our bodies pressed together. This feels like it could go on forever, but I need air. I gently move my hands to his shoulders, pushing him back gently. He does and I take a few breaths. I put my lips on his neck and start to kiss and nip at it. It's barely audiable, but I can still hear a sweet moan.
I find myself being pushed onto the bed, and I stop kissing. One of his hands move to my shirt, starting to unbutton it, his other hand still firm on my waist. He gives me another rough kiss, before leaving a trail on my jaw line. His lips travel down my throat, and my breaths become shorter, become short pants. One of my hands go up his shirt, smiling at the way his muscled chest feels. I moan as his lips get to my collar bone, starting to nip at my tender skin. My shirt is now off, and his mouth moves lower. I moan his name, even louder, a blush adorning my cheeks, my bruised lips twisted into grin as his hand moves up my skirt.
