PEOPLE, DO YOU THINK THERES TOO MUCH FLUFF??
Chapter 5
Sakura walked out of the office to see Itachi leaning against the wall with his arms crossed with one leg against the wall. He looked relaxed waiting for her.
"Ready?" Itachi asked.
"Yup", sakura said with a small smile on her face. She always felt good after a good cry.
They walked out of the hokage's tower hand in hand. Itachi walked by sakura to take off her hitai-ite.
"What are you doing" sakura asked looking straight into his eyes.
"Don't worry; it's nothing bad. Just let me tie your hitai-ite around your eyes. I don't want you to see where we're going yet," Itachi explained.
Itachi led her through a heavily dense area of the forest. The trees were close together and very high up. Even though there was all of this sakura didn't have to worry about tripping because she was getting a piggy back ride.
Sakura still couldn't see until Itachi put her down and untied the knot of her hitai-ite. He leaned close by her ear and whispered, "Surprise." Sakura slightly gasped at the sight. Itachi was still behind her and she could still feel the warmth of his breath on her neck.
The sight before her was absolutely breathtaking. She lived in konoha her whole life but has never even seen this place before this moment. On the left side of this huge meadow was a water fall that flowed into a deep clear water lake. In the outer part was just the dense forest. The rest was clear except a few huge rocks near a tree underneath the shade. The grass was only about 3 inches long with a few small hills making the land slightly uneven.
"Oh my goodness it's absolutely beautiful Itachi-kun." She whispered.
"I found it on my way home from a mission. I come here to train but mostly to think or clear my head." He explained to her.
"Really?... then are you ready to get your butt kicked by a girl Uchiha?" sakura said playfully walking away to take out some of her weapons.
He only chuckled and took his position getting ready for there spar. Sakura slid into her defensive position waiting for his attack. She waited a very long ten seconds before it stared.
He disappeared and reappeared behind her swing a leg behind her knees. She disappeared in a puff of smoke turning into a log. She threw 5 kunais at him and punched the ground changing the terrain slightly so he would land so easily and then, jumped up to meet him. She punched him in the stomach and he easily caught it. Then she kicker her leg to hit his side and he caught her ankle. They landed safely back on the ground and sakura grabbed the katana she had on her back and he grabbed his. They charged each other and started fighting.
They were even until he turned on his sharingan. Now he had the upper hand. He stepped a few yards away doing the signs to do a Katon Jutsu. Then he screamed out, "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu" (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique).The fire was coming straight at her and all she could do is dodge. She quickly did a Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique). Once the fire hit it was met with a log that was burned.
Sakura was on a branch trying to come up with a strategy. Intuition flashed through her eyes and she jumped of the branch and landed in front of Itachi. They were both slightly dirty with cuts and scratches. Of course sakura had more than him when they were doing hand to hand combat. She walked about two yards away and did a jutsu.
Itachi got ready for whatever she was about to do. She whispered, "Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu"(Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Technique) she attempted to do but Itachi just started to do hand-to-hand combat before allowing her to finish the jutsu. They both fought until Itachi reappeared behind her and slammed her into the grass. He straddled her hips and had a kunai in hand and had it near her neck.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I win". She was looking up at Itachi then looked at the sun. It was almost sun set again.
"Fine you win. Now get off me." She was starting to get pissed. She actually thought she could win but it was more for fun. And they both knew that.
"… No" was the only answer he gave her. Sakura just glared at him that only made the corners of his lips twitch a little. You could tell he was trying not to smile since Uchiha's don't smile.
"We have to get going Itachi-kun. Your mom might get worried if we get back to late and besides tomorrow we have to baby sit the kazekage's children. That you included me in." he stood up and held out a hand for sakura which she gladly took and stood up.
He shrugged and said, "I'm not good with children." They both started walking through the dense forest again.
"Yes you are. You're good with Sasuke-kun."
"Yeah but he's my brother. Besides you seem to be good with children the way you handled Naruto at ichiraku." This time it was sakura's turn to shrug.

They both walked toward the Uchiha district in a comfortable silence. A boy around Itachi's age came up to him. He had black hair and black eyes so she guessed he was part of the clan. He threw his arm around him and said,"Hey Itachi, Who's the girl?" the boy asked
"Sakura that's Shisui, and Shisui that's sakura," Itachi introduced
"Nice to meet you, sakura," And slightly nodded his head and sakura smiled back at him. Ah so this is the person he killed. They seem so close how could that have happened? Then he turned back to Itachi and started talking when sakura walked into the house.
"Just thought you would need a heads up, you're in anbu now. You passed. You start two days from now. And you know what that means………" he trailed off.
"Thanks Shisui."
"Later you can come meet me in the woods for a sparring session after your talk. See you later Itachi." After that, Itachi walked inside the house to see his mother cleaning up dinner.
-----
Mikoto turned around and saw Itachi slightly dirty and angry. She sighed and said, "Itachi, go upstairs and clean yourself up. I made a plate for you and sakura." He only nodded his head and left the room.
-----
After dinner sakura went upstairs and changed into a green silk night gown that fell around her thighs.
Later around midnight Sakura walked downstairs towards the porch and sat down on the steps. She looked up at the pitch black sky dotted with millions of bright lights.
The last time she got to really look at the stars was with team seven.
They were on a mission to send a scroll to waterfall. They stayed out that night without setting up any tents. She remembers looking around to see Sasuke sleeping on his side, Naruto snoring very loudly, and her sensei asleep with an icha, icha book on his face. That caused her to giggle almost waking Sasuke up.
That night she was awake staring at the sky for almost the entire night. The next day she was exhausted and had to have a piggy back ride to get home from the mission.
'That happened such a long time ago' sakura reminded herself and gave a sad smile at that memory. She snapped out of her daze when she heard footsteps approaching. When the figure came she noticed that it was Itachi. He was dirty, slightly bloody, and looked tired. She gave him a small smile when sakura noticed he was staring at her.
"Hey," she whispered to him
"Hey," he sat down next to sakura and they just both sat there staring at the stars comfortable with each others presence.
Itachi turned to her and decided to ask the obvious question, "why are you up so late?"
Sakura smiled and said, "I couldn't sleep and neither could you by the looks of it," she pointed out.
"Just blowing off some steam that's all," Itachi admitted
"Did something happen between you and your dad?"
A moment passed before he spoke again, "yeah something did happen. I got into anbu and, you know how I look out for Sasuke, right?" sakura nodded so he could continue without an interruption, "my dad was going to come with me on my next mission. Not the one with you It's the day right after," Itachi explained to her when he saw her confused face. "Well on the same day is sasuke's academy ceremony. So I refused to do the mission if he doesn't go with Sasuke" He finished.
Sakura nodded her head in understanding, "would it be okay if I took Sasuke? Then your dad can go with you on your mission. Don't worry I'll explain it to Sasuke unless you want too."
Itachi said "I'll tell him," he said softly and they both silently looked at the stars.
After a moment or two Itachi spoke again, "Sakura, I think we should go inside now," he stood up and held out a hand to help Sakura up and they both walked toward their own rooms.
-----
Sakura woke up as the sunlight streamed through the curtains. Alerting sakura she should be waking up now. She slowly cracked open and winced trying to adjust her eyes tot the brightness.
She looked at her nightstand clock and saw that it was a little before eight. She then remembered the hokage saying that they were coming between nine and ten.
Sakura got up and went to the bathroom to shower and brush her hair. She put on her clothes and went downstairs. On the last steps Itachi was already there waiting for her.
"Ready?" He asked. Sakura nodded her head yes. They walked towards the hokage's tower. Once they arrived they were greeted by a few extra anbus. They went up the stair case and went inside the office standing waiting for the Kazekage.
About ten minutes after Itachi and sakura's arrival they came. There were six body guards and a trusted adviser that was with the Kazekage and Trailing behind the Kazekage were his children.
There was a boy about ten years old with brown hair that was classified as Kankuro. A girl that looked about eight or nine with four ponytails named Temari. Also a young boy about seven with crimson hair and jade eyes named Gaara who was hugging a raggedy old bear fiercely.
"This is Uchiha Itachi and Haruno sakura. They will be the ones who will be taking care of your children." The Kazekage nodded. The hokage, Kazekage and adviser left the room with the anbus and body guards leaving sakura and Itachi to the kids.
