oh and by the way, Did you guys watch Road to Ninja yet? ?! THERE WAS A FREAKING ITASAKU SCENE IN IT! OMG OMGOGMG DIOJFKJDNFJKASNMDKLSAND JASNDKJSNDMKASLDMK
Okayyy... on with the story!
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked glaring at him.
"I know you two did something. You better tell me." Itachi was giving a dark look at Sasuke.
"Itachi not now. I'm not spending this Christmas being sad. Lets go home." Sakura said walking pass them toward home.
Itachi looked at Sasuke with his crimson eyes and grabbed his collar in silence. They both glared at each other intensely.
"Are you going to take her away from me too?!"Sasuke spat.
"Don't start with me. You have no idea what happened." Itachi said.
"I don't need to! You killed mother and father! You took them away from me! And now you're going to take Sakura!? I won't let that happen!" Sasuke ripped Itachi's grasp which made the fabric tear.
Itachi stared blankly at the ground holding the fabric and Sakura came running to their location.
"What the hell is going on now?! Itachi please not now...calm down." She gave him a kiss and took his hand.
"Let's go..." Sakura mouthed to Sasuke he clenched his fist and made their way into the forest.
When they got to the hideout a trail of pine needles was on the ground leading to the doors. Itachi opened the doors and saw Deidara and Kisame struggling to make the Christmas tree stand.
"Move it to the right!" Deidara exclaimed.
"No! You need to move further down." Kisame ordered.
"Ugh! You do it then!" Deidara threw it on the ground and stomped off.
After many attempts of making the tree to stand upright they finally got it!
All of them gathered around the tree and had small chats with each other. Then the presents were given out.
Itachi gave Sakura a mirror. The handle was cold to the touch, it gave Sakura an eerie feeling.
"You know, they say you can see the future with that. I haven't seen anything with it no matter how hard I look. The old lady who gave it to me told me those who see and think clearly may see through the mirror. I never understood what she meant. The reason why I gave you this is because I know you can clear your mind in a matter of seconds. You have very good control I should say." Itachi grinned.
Sakura took the compliment and kissed his cheek. She looked into the mirror squinting to see if she could try to portray anything.
"You can't expect to see something that fast..." Itachi mentioned.
"Uh- I know that! I'm just checking myself out. Duh!" Sakura giggled
Sasuke was glaring again in envy. He wanted to slap the gift out of her hands. But she seemed to like it, and he shrugged. Sakura was fiddling with the bag of gifts and was reluctant to give him the gift. She sucked it up and took out the gift. Handing it to him with her arms out and looking away so she wouldn't see his reaction. His eyes immediately fell on the hair ties.
"Ha, thanks Sakura. I really needed these. I keep misplacing them." He removes the box of matcha tea and grins, "I love you." he says as he kisses her forehead.
Sasuke sighed and went back to his room. Sakura feels guilty but she can't just leave Itachi right now. Itachi wraps his arms around her hips and pulls her in closer. They both watch as the others unwrap their gifts.
Itachi whispers into Sakura's ear "Meet me up near the lake. This will be the second part of your gift." He disappears is a poof. Sakura melts in her seat and sits up. She walks into her room and sets her stuff down. Her excitement is filling up from head to toe. The curiosity is making her grin wildly. She throws on the cloak and walks out.
When she got above she sees Itachi against a tree waiting for her.
"Hi" Sakura smiled. In a blink of an eye Itachi's in front of her pulling her in for a kiss. Her eyes seem to gradually close and her arms begin to wrap around his neck. This kiss was different, it was different from when they first kissed, or when they were in bed. This kiss was more passionate and it felt like they were the only to people in the world. Their actions were so natural it's almost as if they weren't in charge of their actions.
Itachi embraces her and says, "I really do love you, Sakura. You have no idea..."
"I...I love you too, Itachi. But why did you have to bring us here to do this?" Sakura was shivering now, he held her tighter.
"It's peaceful here, and more romantic." He chuckled moving away slowly, looking into her eyes. "Anyways, part 2 of your present is this." He removes a piece of paper from his cloak and unfolds it.
Sakura recognizes the sheet of paper. She wonders how the hell he got it.
"H-how did you... Where did yo-"
"Do you want to go back?" Itachi says looking at her.
"What? No...? Well... No. I don't want to go back. Where did you find this?" Sakura said shivering anxiously.
"I've known that you had this for a while now. I just wanted to confront you about this now. Why do you have my document?" Itachi says calmly.
"I-I wanted to find you..." Sakura says still nervous.
"Sakura why are you nervous? I'm not mad. I'm just curious." He reassures her and kisses her forehead. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"I wanted to find you because I wanted you to tell Sasuke that you didn't have a choice. You know... that you were forced to kill your clan. Maybe if he found out his hatred towards you would disappear."
Sakura looked at her feet.
"Why are you worried about that? This is my problem...not yours." Itachi says tilting her chin up.
"I know, but I was concerned because maybe if Sasuke wasn't driven by hate anymore he could focus on-"
"You do still love him." Itachi clenches his fist.
He turns away and mutters in frustration.
"Itachi... I"
"What does he have that I don't?!" Itachi's voice began to rise.
"Itachi please calm down..." She held his hand but he disappeared in a poof.
Sakura was worried, but she knew he had to cool off. She sighed and went back into the hideout. She sees Team Taka around the tree drinking hot coco. Sasuke doesn't seem to be there either. Sakura remembers that she got him a present.
"I should give it to him now...maybe it'll brighten up my mood." Sakura thought entering her room. She grabs the present and heads over to Sasuke's room.
*knock knock*
"Sasuke..?" she opens the door.
"Hn..." He says lying on his back.
"Merry Christmas." She smiles.
"Hn..." Sasuke turns away.
"Are you okay?" Sakura closes the door behind her.
"I'm fine."
"Well, I have something for you" Sakura hands him the gift. Sasuke takes the gift intriguingly.
"Open it! Open it!" Sakura smiled handing him the present.
"What is it?" Sasuke said taking the gift.
Sasuke opened the present and he saw the basket of tomatoes with the weapons encircling the basket. In the middle was the Kunai.
"Do you... Like it?" Sakura asked shyly.
Sasuke sets the basket aside and pulls her in for a long embrace. "Thank you." He buries his head in her shoulder. He takes the kunai and observes it, "I'll keep this forever." He then cups her face and kisses her softly. Sakura pushes him onto the bed crawls on top of him kissing deeply.
***With Itachi***
"Everything that I do for her isn't good enough. Seems like my brother might win her heart." He smirks and makes his way into the bar.
When he enters he sees the bartender and two customers, both male.
"Sake, please." Itachi says and the bartender gladly attends to his need. The night gets older and with each passing minute he downs another glass.
"Sir. I think you've had enough..." the bartender says confiscating the drinks.
"Don't tell me what to do." Itachi activates the Mangekyou sharingan and stuns the bartender along with the two men. He then storms out of the bar and heads back to the hideout.
***SasuSaku***
"Sasuke..." Sakura murmurs as she stands back up.
"Hm?" He looks at her holding her hand trying to pull her back into bed.
"I need some time to think about this... alright? I'm just really confused on how I feel towards you and Itachi... I'm glad you like the present. Merry Christmas." She kisses his cheek and walks back to her room.
**************PREVIEW***************
"Oh my god! Itachi? You smell like alcohol?! What did yo-" Itachi falls on top of Sakura and begins kissing her neck.
"Stop! Itachi!" She squirms out from under him and turns him over. "Why have you been drinking?!"
"Love me, Sakura. Love only me." Itachi mumbles unzipping her shirt. He flips her over and gets on top of her, nuzzling in her neck once again.
