Me: Sorry I took so long to upload!

Sakura: You should be sorry! I've been waiting!

Me: Shut it! I've been working on a SasuHina story all this time! And I didn't know how to end this at first...but it's good now! Now say the disclaimer Sakura!

Sakura: (sigh) Alright. Narugirl101 does not own Naruto. Good thing to...

Me: Shut up Sakura! And anyway...enjoy!


Chapter 5

It has been three days since Sakura joined the Akatsuki. She has made good friends with everyone. Except Hidan….. (He's still mad about the whole flicking-him-into-six-walls thing)

So today Sakura was going to train with Itachi. She got up out of bed and stretched. Alright…..time to get ready and eat breakfast…..I think I should make cinnamon rolls for everyone…..

"Don't forget you have to train with your future boyfriend/husband!"

Would you shut up for once! I don't like Itachi and you have to accept that!

"Alright….but I'll still win the bet."

Sakura sighed and murmured. "Just ignore her…."

Sakura changed and ran out to the kitchen putting on her Akatsuki cloak. She had her hair down with a black ribbon putting her hair out of her face. Once she saw nobody was in the kitchen she got to work.

In 30 minutes she made enough cinnamon rolls for everyone. She ate breakfast and went outside to wait for Itachi.

She found a cherry blossom tree near the hideout and sat down leaning on it. The sun beat down on her and she covered her eyes. God….it's hot…. She took off her cloak revealing the black short sleeved shirt with the net lining around her stomach, the short black shorts, and finally the black boots that almost went up to her knees. And she had her sword slung to her back.

Sakura put her hands behind her head to put her long hair in a ponytail. Ahh…much better….

After 5 minutes of relaxing Itachi finally came out of the hideout. Sakura smirked. "What took you so long? Did you oversleep?"

Itachi looked back at her with a blank look. "Hn…." Itachi looked at her and put up an eyebrow. "Where's your cloak?"

Sakura stood up and took down the cloak from the branch of the tree. "It's really hot so I took it off."

Itachi nodded. "It is really hot." Then he took of his Akatsuki cloak revealing a short sleeved black shirt that showed off his muscles with net lining around his stomach, black pants and ninja sandals.

Sakura felt her cheeks get hot. Ok...I have to admit he DOES look hot.

"THANK YOU! You finally admit it! And anyway he is seriously hot." Inner got a nosebleed.

"Anyway…..let's start." Sakura took her sword out to fight.

"Right" Itachi activated his sharingan.

Sakura ran towards him with her sword ready. He blocked all her swipes but got a cut on his cheek. He took out a kunai and blocked a blow from hitting his face. He pushed down on the sword with so much force Sakura was forced to drop her sword. Itachi put the kunai away and smirked.

Sakura back flipped two times before landing in a fighting position. She took out to kunais and threw them at him to distract him for her own taijutsu.

While he blocked the kunais she ran towards him ready to fight with all force. She snap kicked up hoping to get him in the jaw but he stopped her with his hands and tripped her with his legs.

She flipped up and tried to punch him in the face but then moved and hit her instead. She fell to the ground. She got up quickly and jumped into the air.

Itachi looked up at her. "What is she-?"

"Take this! CHAA!" Sakura punched down hitting Itachi in the stomach and putting up dust. She smiled in triumph. "I knew I could bet you! Itachi? Itachi….?"

"Gahh! Oh no! You probably killed him!"

Poof!

"Wait….wha-?" Sakura looked down to see a shattered log under her. "Substitution?" She felt herself get kicked behind her. She turned around to see Itachi standing behind her. "Dammit…"

They sparred for a while and got cuts and bruises. Finally they both stopped and looked at each other. They were both breathing heavily. Before Itachi could react Sakura ran towards him full speed to try and punch him. He dodged but Sakura accidently put her foot under to make him lose his footing. While he fell one of his foots hocked on her legs to make her fall.

Itachi fell on the ground with Sakura laying down on top of him and there faces were only centimeters apart. Sakura's whole face got red and Itachi's heart was beating fast. Why is my heart beating so fast?

Sakura looked down at his features. After a few seconds she realized none of them have moved. Sakura got up quickly. "Uhh….sorry…."

Itachi got up too. "Hn" Itachi looked away his cheeks were a little red. "Training is over…..how about we sit down at the tree?"

Sakura looked at him surprised. He has barely even tried to make small talk with her since she even joined the Akatsuki. "Umm…..sure."

So they sat down in an uncomfortable silence for a while. But finally Sakura broke it. "So Itachi…..it's really hot today right?"

Itachi nodded. "Hn…."

Sakura looked away for a while but she heard a movement next to her. She looked at Itachi and saw that he was taking off his shirt. Sakura felt prickling heat on her cheeks when he saw his muscles after he took off his shirt.

"Oh my god! I think I'm going to die of blood loss!" Inner held her nose as the inner blood gushed out.

Oh god! I think I'm going to have a nose bleed! Sakura turned as blood was coming out of her nose.

Itachi turned to Sakura. "Sakura? Is there something wrong?"

Sakura waved him off. "Oh nothing nothing!"

Itachi looked at her hand which had a little blood on it. "Sakura…are you bleeding?"

Sakura internally slapped herself. Oh no! He's going to see my nose bleed! "Oh no! I'm not bleeding at all!"

Itachi looked at Sakura anyway and saw she was covering her nose. "Is there something wrong with your nose?"

"No! I'm going to go inside!" Sakura ran inside…..forgetting her cloak.

Itachi took the cloak and sighed. "I'll give this to her." He put on his shirt and cloak on and walked inside. He was about to walk in Sakura's room when he heard his name and decided to wait and listen.

With Sakura ranting in her room….

"OH GOD WHY DOES ITACHI HAVE TO LOOK SO HOT?"

"See? I told you!"

"Quiet inner! Do you know how to stop this bleeding?"

"Pinch the arch of your nose."

"Oh yeah…." Sakura pinched the arch of her nose and the bleeding stopped. "Anyway…I bet he thinks I'm so stupid!"

"I thought you didn't care."

"Well….I do…I think I like him."

"Ha! I knew it! You do love him!"

"No! I said like not love."

With Itachi wide eyed outside…..

She likes me…I shouldn't have listened…..

Itachi knocked on the door.

To Sakura….

"Oh gosh! Someone's outside! Be quiet!"

"I'm inside your head….NOBODY CAN HEAR ME! I CAN TALK AS LOUD AS I WANT TOO!"

Sakura rolled her eyes and opened the door. She blushed when she saw Itachi standing there. Oh gosh….did he hear anything that I said? "Uh….hi Itachi…..what do you need?"

Itachi handed her the cloak that was in his hands gently. "You left your cloak outside.

Sakura took the cloak gently. "Umm…thanks." And without thinking, she kissed him on the cheek.

They both looked at each other in surprise. Sakura got super red and closed the door gently whispering, "Sorry…."

Itachi stood outside the door with his heart thumping madly and there was a small blush on his cheeks. Tha-Thump! Tha-Thump! Tha-Thump!

He walked to his room thinking. Don't worry Sakura….I like you to.

Me: Ok. That HAD to be a good ending.

Itachi: Hn

Me:(sigh) What a Uchiha...now say the ending.

Itachi: Hn. Reveiw and give Narugirl101 ideas.

Me: Good. (sigh) Next time I should get Sasuke to do the ending...
