Chapter 5
Itachi ran outside in search of sakura. When he was running past the lake he noticed sakura was walking on the water. Once she reached the middle she was spinning then came to a stop with her right foot in front of herself. Then sakura just started to dance.
Sakura danced on water to calm her nerves usually. Being yelled at definitely was very nerve racking for her. Shes supposed to be the good one who's never reprimanded or yelled at. She had her emerald eyes closed just listening to the water move with and around her
Itachi walked out on the water toward sakura where she stood still. Her eyes were closed, arms crossed and head hanging down. He walked to her until he was about one or two feet away.
When sakura looked up there he was. He looked like he was sorry; probably about how his father acted she guessed. Itachi walked closer and embraced her in to a tight hug. Sakura leaned her forehead onto his shoulder and cried.
"I'm so sorry I got you in trouble." Sakura said trying to get rid of the tears running down her face.
"It's okay." Itachi said rubbing his hand across her back trying to soothe the small sobs left.
Sakura looked up at the sky noticing that the sky was full of dreary rain clouds. Then she looked at Itachi, "maybe I shouldn't stay tonight, Itachi-kun."
Itachi looked right back at her shaking his head no. he didn't want her to leave. He actually liked sakura. She wasn't like anyone he knew. "No stay. I think it's going to rain soon, and where would you go?"
Sakura leaned her head against his shoulder again and sighed. "I don't know," sakura shrugged, "I would just go to an inn I guess." Sakura could feel him shaking his head no again.
Itachi let go and held her hand, practically pulling her trying to lead them off the lake. A moment later, once they were off the lake it began to drizzle. They just started walking toward the Uchiha district. When they walked through the door they both saw Mikoto sitting on a chair waiting for them to come back. Sakura almost instantly felt guilty.
"I'm sorry Mikoto-san I didn't mean for you to stay up and wait for us." Sakura said in a very sincere voice.
"No, I'm sorry for the way my husband behaved. He's just a little frustrated is all." Sakura smiled and said, "You don't have to apologize and please don't."
Mikoto smiled back at sakura. "But right now I think I'm going to go to sleep. And thank you Mikoto-san."
Sakura bowed her head and headed upstairs with Itachi still behind her. What sakura didn't know was that Itachi had a small smile on his lips for both his mother and her the entire time.
Sakura entered her room and Itachi entered his.

The Thunder was bright and deafening but that wasn't what woke sakura up. There was a scream coming from sasuke's room. Sakura got up not realizing she was just in her hip hugger underwear and large t-shirt that went to the middle of her thighs and ran toward sasuke's room.
Sasuke was curled under the blanket and crying. Itachi came in right after sakura wearing nothing but boxers, and walked right towards Sasuke. Sakura sat down on sasuke's right side of the bed and Itachi on the left.
Sakura picked him up putting him in her lap. Sasuke's head was leaning against sakura chest and He was facing Itachi still crying. Sakura ran her hands through his hair making a soothing shushing noise. Sasuke's eyes were half lidded, so sakura decided to ask Itachi.
"Why was Sasuke crying?"
Itachi looked at her like an idiot at first then he looked outside then back at Sasuke. "He's afraid of thunder" he shrugged
Sakura looked down and thought he was a sleep. She lifted him up placing him under the covers and got up. She was almost fully off the bed until something caught the edge of her shirt. Sakura turned around and saw Sasuke staring right back at her.
"sakura-nee-chan, can you stay with me tonight." Sakura looked at his face, and He truly did look frightened. She nodded and came under the covers with him. Itachi was about to leave but Sasuke did the same thing to him.
Itachi sighed and went under the covers facing Sasuke and sakura. Sakura faced Sasuke and Itachi and had an arm over Sasuke as it protecting him. After a few minutes Sasuke was falling asleep then sakura and lastly Itachi.

Sasuke was the first to wake up. It was finally morning. The sun was out with the exception of a few heavy clouds left over. Sasuke carefully climbed out of the bed to not disturb his nii-san and nee-chan. Sasuke left to go downstairs to go practice throwing kunai since he couldn't sleep anymore.
Both teenagers moved closer to the heat they were producing. After about fifteen minutes of unconsciously moving closer. sakura's head was in the crook of his neck with one arm draped across his waist. Itachi had both arms wrapped around her waist and his head was on top of hers. Both of there legs were entangled together underneath the blanket.
Around eight o'clock in the morning Fugaku stopped by the room and saw this. He shook his head in disapproval. He still didn't like her even after his talk with Mikoto. Fugaku still thought the girl couldn't help leading the clan when Itachi gets older. Then he just left to get to the police station.
About a half an hour later Mikoto walked passed the room and smiled. She loved seeing her son happy. If sakura made him happy it wouldn't be that bad. Mikoto actually liked her and didn't mind having another girl around. Then she shook her head. Her husband probably didn't understand. He will soon when she proves herself and Mikoto is pretty sure it will happen. Sakura was like herself when she was young.
Sakura blinked trying to get used to the bright sun. She made a small yawn and looked up. Sakura slightly gasped when she saw Itachi's onyx orbs looking down at her.
"Ohayou, Itachi-kun," sakura said flashing a smile.
"Ohayou to you too, sakura-chan," he said in a slight smirk still sleepy.
Sakura tried to get up but couldn't. "Itachi-kun let go. I have to get up and put on some clothes."
"…No. let's just stay in bed and let's not get up." Sakura rolled her eyes.
"for a prodigy you sure are lazy… how about I promise to train with you later?" sakura asked
"You do know it would mostly be me training you, right?" Itachi retorted.
Sakura shrugged, "I think I know a few jutsus you don't even know."
Itachi raised and eye brow and said, "Really?"
"Uh huh."
"Fine you can get up but we'll go out to eat lunch later. I'm surprised that my mom didn't wake us up."
"Maybe she let us sleep since we came in so late." Itachi let go and let her get up. Sakura walked to the guest bedroom to get dressed. Itachi just sat on the bed for a second to think. Do I like her? Probably she's the only one who can really get certain emotions out of me. She's interesting and is fun to be around.
Itachi got up and went to his bedroom to get dressed in a black t-shirt and sweatpants. He left his bedroom waiting outside sakura's room for her to be done.
Sakura walked out wearing a black mini skirt and white wife beater. "Ready, Itachi-kun?"
He nodded his head and said, "Yeah lets go." They got up and went downstairs. Sasuke was there with Mikoto who both smiled at them when they walked in.
"Ohayou sakura-chan, Itachi-kun," Mikoto said
"Ohayou Mikoto-san, Sasuke-kun," sakura said
"Ohayou kaa-san, outo" Itachi said
Sasuke just smiled since he had food in his mouth that puffed out his cheeks. They both sat down and ate. After a few minutes an anbu came to the door. Itachi got up thinking it was for him, since there were many anbu coming to his home lately.
The anbu bowed his head and handed him a scroll. Itachi tore the scroll open and quickly skimmed it. He then crumpled the scroll up and threw it into the trash can. "Sakura you and I have to go see the hokage."
Sakura nodded her head, wiped off her mouth and stood up. "I wonder how he knows I'm here."
Mikoto answered, "A lot of people are talking about you. How you helped kakashi and the pink haired beauty." And being Itachi's girlfriend but she kept that part to herself. Mikoto laughed watching sakura blush from embarrassment.
Sakura walked outside with Itachi. Once they were inside the hokage's office they both bowed their heads in respect.
"Itachi" he nodded his head, "there is a mission that I have for you. It's an A rank mission. You have to look after the kazekage's children for the day when we have our meeting. It starts tomorrow at 11:30 am I expect you here. You may have someone help you if you'd like."
"I think I may have sakura to help me with this." Itachi responded while sakura looked wide eyed at him as if saying, are you crazy?!
"All right then. May you leave the room I have something I have to speak with sakura for a moment." Itachi nodded and left the room. The hokage stood up.
Once the door closed sakura said "hokage-sama I missed you so much" and ran up to him to give a hug. He was like her grandfather to her before he died. So of course she missed him.
The hokage smile and said, "My dear sakura you grew up so much,"
Sakura had tears running down her face, "how did you know I was here?"
"There are many things that I know my dear child."
"Don't you want to know anything that happens in the future then?" sakura eagerly asked
"No I don't need to. But I do want to how konohamaru is doing?"
Sakura giggled wiping off her tear stained face and said, "He's following under Naruto's wing."
"dear kami. I hope he turns out okay."
"Umm… hokage-sama I was wondering if you could forge some papers so I could live in this time?"
"I could. But don't change it too much."
"Are you serious!? You're the best, hokage-sama" sakura said, "I think I should go now. Thank you so much." Sakura smiled and left the room
