The first week passed swiftly with no big interferences, she started her shift every day at the same hours and sometimes she would have difficult tasks or easier ones, she was slowly adapting to the life here.

She would mostly be in company of her Aniki and his friends, she seen Gaara again too and it seemed he was a captain just like Deidara, she found out that he was a really quiet person but she liked him, he was nice. What disappointed her was that she hadn't met Sasuke again nor did she met her other former teammate Naruto but she was sure she would see them again sooner or later.

Also she noticed that she was becoming popular amongst the soldiers after all unlike Kakuzu she was always nice to her patients until they started to flirt with her that is. And she hadn't seen the General again since her first day, he was on meetings or somewhere else, but she wasn't upset over that fact at all. So all in all she wasn't regretting the decision to come here yet.

She was currently undressing and preparing to go sleep when she heard him enter the tent. She blushed and turned away from the curtain separating them, she didn't know why but she had always been glad that he hadn't been there when she had prepared to go work or to go sleep, not that she thought he would peep on her or something it was just that she didn't like it.

On the other side of the curtain Itachi took of his coat and undid his ponytail, the last week had been pure stress with the many meetings and all the paper work and training.

Of course it was his own fault, trying to avoid a certain pink haired girl who was actually undressing-

Suddenly he was aware that he was staring at her shadow on the curtain separating them, she was undressing he could see the outlines of her curves, for a sixteen year old girl she was really voluptuous. Shaking his head he forced himself to look away. This was exactly what he had feared, he hadn't thought that her presence would do such things to him; he had noticed that when he got near her his body reacted in a strange way. That evening when he had cornered her, he had wanted to intimidate her a bit but the moment he had come in contact with her skin his mind was flooded with images and thoughts of what he could do to her. It took all his inner strength to pull away from her.

But he needed to face her; she was supposed to heal his eyes and help in the soldier training in the near future. Being in each others presence could no longer be avoided, he had already done so for too long, his colonels had noticed already, which was not good and would only bring unnecessary questions as to why exactly he was taking so long to bring the medic to the training grounds.

Also it was not like this sensation he felt every time he touched her meant anything. He was the general and many saw him as inhuman like but he was just a man after all; after such a long time without a female body around he could feel some needs arising. Normally such a thing was no problem for him, he was handsome, without exaggerating, dashingly handsome and finding a woman to share his bed with had never been a problem. It was only the fact that he hadn't left the base for half a year that caused problems, because the females were outside the base inside you could only find sweating stuffy men. Not exactly his liking.

So he only had to lock those needs tighter away because he would not risk shooing away the only medic that had come willingly to their base in what was like two years, just because he needed to fulfill his urges for one night. He had more self-control than that. It helped that his eyesight was not the best and he could not see her clearly, so most was left to his imagination and seeing as she was only a sixteen year old female that had made a fuss the first day about her sleeping arrangement, it wasn't all that difficult. To him she was a little girl with a bright pink mob on her head, the only thing he could clearly distinguish.

Waiting until she was done dressing he stood up and stepped forward a bit.

"Haruno-san, I need to talk to you."

Sakura was startled at his sudden appearance behind the curtain, she hadn't been prepared for him to talk to her, nor face him now, and she was dressed in her shorts and T-Shirt to go to sleep now.

"Ehm I'm not dressed to-"

"I want you to look at my eyes."

She closed her eyes and sighed in defeat, she couldn't refuse him that, bracing herself to meet his eyes again she stepped forward and pushed the curtain to the side.

He was in a pair of black pants and a tight black T-shirt, his hair was down and she had to admit that he looked really handsome. His side of the tent was still very dark but it was better than before now that light was coming from her side.

"Tell me about your problem."

He sat down on his bed and she wasn't sure what to do, but before she could save herself to the chair at the other end of the tent he signaled her to sit down next to him.

"You know of the clan's blood line limit, the Sharingan."

She nodded, biting her lip, tensing.

"I have gained the last stage of the Sharingan however my eyesight is slowly leaving me, it hurts when I'm in a bright environment and I often activate my Sharingan to see good enough."

"So basically you're going blind."

He nodded and kept his eyes away from her a distant look in his eyes. Sakura studied his face, it made sense now, the darkness in his tent, and why he always had his Sharingan on, it seemed it wasn't only to intimidate the people around him.

"I need to check them."

She lifted her hand to show that she meant with chakra, he gave her a long calculating look, she didn't look away, she understood his hesitation, this was the most proud trait of the Uchiha clan they were talking about, their strongest weapon.

Finally he bent down to show that he was prepared.

Softly she put her fingertips on his temples and let her chakra enter his eyes. If anyone could see them now hey would think they were about to kiss, seeing as he was bent down an she had both her hands on his face, only with her fingertips brushing against his temples. But Sakura was too concentrated on the inner eye channels of the general to really care what they looked like. She wanted to show him what she was made of and that Tsunade had made the right choice in asking her to come here. Closing her eyes and channeling her chakra in a steady flow she felt around his inner eyes.

She frowned at what she saw.

"Your chakra is eating on your eyes…"

He frowned and Sakura hissed.

"Don't move! If you have a question just ask."

His lips straightened in a thin line showing clearly his discomfort and discontent at being bossed around like that but most of all he was not used to speaking his mind loudly, however knowing this was important for his healing he did so anyway, his rich baritone voice coming out reluctantly.

"…I've never heard of chakra eating the body away."

"Me neither but this isn't just your normal chakra, let me explain. Everything on earth has chakra, trees, animals, humans, etc. That is the normal chakra, we all have, but we train in our life to form chakra and to get more chakra, that is the extra chakra only trained people of the military, healer or such have, you see?"

"Hn."

She took that as a yes. Still channeling chakra to his eyes she continued.

"So tat extra chakra can be formed into something, like a Jutsu or a weapon or be used to for something. But since that chakra is different it also mean its consequences are different, like when we often use that chakra we put a certain strain to our bodies normally that strain isn't big or dangerous since our body is able to heal it with the normal chakra we have from the beginning of our life, it's like our life fountain when we die it disappears too unlike the extra chakra that we store in us, it is released into the environment."

She pulled back and sighed. Shaking her hands a bit so the blood would rush back, she had hold them up to long her blood circulation was getting slower, giving her the nasty prickly effect.

"You used the last stage of the Sharingan too often your body couldn't heal it fast enough so the strain in your eyes, comes from the extra chakra that is slowly eating your eyesight away."

Again he grew silent the fact that his own chakra was destroying his eyesight wasn't nothing.

"Can you heal it?"

"Yes, I can. It is healable as long as you aren't entirely blind, but I recommend you however to never let it come this far again, even if it can be healed it's dangerous if the strain from the extra chakra gets so big on the body that the own body can't heal it anymore."

He nodded briefly taking her warning serious. Inwardly he was glad that she could heal him, deep down he had feared the worst.

"When can you start?"

"Now."

This surprised him; she must be tired from the day in the hospital. It seemed his surprise had showed on his face because she gave him a dismissive wave and a small reassuring smile.

"Don't worry I still have enough chakra left to heal you and tomorrow morning I can sleep till noon, Kakuzu told me to get a little break since I took over his shift yesterday at noon too."

The way she was talking about the head doctor made him conclude that she had become friends with him, in fact he had heard that she was doing really good, his soldiers had taken a liking to the new beautiful head doctor. Recently he had found out that she was the little sister of Sasori, his second colonel and one of his few close friends. Perhaps his opinion in her being just a fussy little girl was not so true after all she had diagnosed the source of his eyes problems in only five minutes.

"You will need to relax perhaps you'll lie down or so, it's going to be a bit long so…" Also she didn't want her arms to die of blood loss anytime soon just because he was so damn tall even while sitting.

He didn't move for a certain time until he started to lie down, Sakura bit her lip awkwardly when she turned around to he could lay his head into her lap, it was embarrassing but she had to be professional now.

"Close your eyes and don't move."

Once again ignoring the irritation of being commanded around he did as she said and let her work, his shoulder tense and his impatience showing in the dim light.

The time seemed endless for him, he was actually eager to see what she could do and if she was really capable of healing him. He had heard that she was a very good and a talented healer, it wasn't very often that Kakuzu spoke about another person in a good way; it meant that he could trust her.

Finally after what seemed an eternity, he could feel how her warm and soft chakra left him, he felt kind of cold now.

"Okay wait a moment we need a bit more light…okay open your eyes."

Blinking and squinting his eyes he got up from his lying position.

When he finally opened them entirely, it was as if he was in a new world, his tent looked now dark green, he noticed that the floor was dark brown, his coat to his left was shiny and not just matt black, he could see the colors again, he could see clearly now!

"And?"

Turning to her, he wanted to thank her honestly, but he was suddenly struck.

She was beautiful.

Her eyes were like the most beautiful sparkling things he had ever seen, and her skin was pale and looked soft just like her hair, which shone in the dim light. He could not believe how bad his eyesight had been for him to mistake her for some fussy little girl. Her curves, which were clearly visible in that scandalous outfit she called her pajamas, were definitely well developed for a sixteen year old, not to mention her eyes shone with so much emotions, friendliness, innocence, determination and anticipation for his reaction. However nothing came as he just continued to stare at her taking in every detail of her elf like being, making her fidget under his intense scrutiny.

"How is your eyesight?" she asked trying to break the silence.

Coming back to reality, he remembered that she had asked him something.

"It's… beautiful."

Unwillingly she blushed not really knowing why, but his stare was now even more intense than before, and something had changed she did not know what but not just his look but also his body language, in a second he seemed to relax and lean only slightly into her. She did not really understand but she doubted that the General would relax in her presence so she blamed her fatigue that she was imagining things.

Feeling more and more uncomfortable at the sudden change in behavior of the General or his intense stare, she nudged away from him, her eyes glued to the floor conscious that he could now see and that she was still in her shorts and tank top, with too much skin to see, she wanted nothing more than flee back to her side of the tent.

"Uhm that's good, very good… well I'll go to bed-ah!"

Before she could even turn around she was suddenly pressed down against his bed with no way to escape. Blushing madly, she glared at him.

"What-What are you doing?"

He saw the look of panic in her eyes before it was replaced with a much more stronger emotion, anger. Seeing her emotions cross her eyes so openly made her even more beautiful especially when those eyes shone with anger or anything else for the matter. She was much too expressive and could be red like an open book, which made him wonder what else he could do to provoke other emotions Suddenly he did something strange, he smirked at her, and it looked damn sexy. However it also tingled her senses to stay on alert, involuntarily she tensed unsure of what to make of this strange situation.

"You must be tired, why don't you just sleep here… I've still got to thank you properly…"

The purring in his voice was doing strange things to her insides, just what was he planning?

Itachi loved the way her eyes widened. She was breathtaking with her hair spread around his bed and he could feel how his blood was rushing to certain parts of his body, she looked down right sexy with cheeks rosy red and her pouty lips opened in silent shock. Shifting so he was straddling her entirely he relished in the tiny intake of breath when the pressure was now entirely on her hips, his hands holding his weight on either side of her.

Suddenly his right had was on her hip caressing her free skin, she gasped at his soft touch, it made her skin burn. His face was now only inches away, his soft breath on her cheek, her chest was pressed up against his and she winced at the feeling of his hard chest only separated by thin fabric. Itachi however hadn't felt so good in a long time, he liked that feeling of her pressed against him under him, bending down he pressed his lips against her cheek inhaling her sweet scent. His hands were caressing the exposed skin of her belly and were slowly working their way up. She could feel her wriggling under him but it excited him more, turning his head his lips were suddenly on hers sucking on her lower lips asking for entrance.

Sakura was lost in the sensations he created and her mind was blurred, she could feel him all over her kissing, pressing, caressing her, it was a mind blowing sensation. She had never been touched in such a way and he was expertly touching her in all the right places making her burn and feel like a helpless girl with no experiences at all.

"G-General…"

"Call me Itachi… Sakura."

This time he pressed hard against her lips almost demanding entrance, his movements become entirely more demanding as if he wanted something from her. Suddenly she felt something hard pressed against her inner tight and she gasped.

"G-General!"

Itachi however only smirked and kissed her hard again. He wanted her, right now. The urge he had copped up all this week to touch her and the picture of her under him with eyes clouded with insecurity and so much lust at the same time was driving him insane. Making quick work of his shirt he groaned when his naked skin was pressed against her chest, it felt so soft and he rubbed against her wanting more of that sensation. Sakura moaned, slowly losing all her reason and falling into the sensuality he made.

"We shouldn't do-"

Silencing her with a kiss again, Sakura felt that she didn't have much choice anymore, a tiny part in her even rejoiced at the fact that she was showered with so much intense lust from such a man. She moaned out loud when his hand were finally under her shirt. She bit her lip; his hand was rubbing her chest before he took off her shirt entirely. The air was cold against her skin and she felt strange under his stare, he was appreciating her chest under the dim light, her skin seemed to shine a bit, he could feel his excitement grow painfully, ducking down he took one of her breast into his mouth, sucking hard. She sucked in a long breath and let it out as low moan when he did making him rumble in satisfaction at her response.

She was so soft, so feminine; he just couldn't wait any longer.

"I want you to say my name."

Sakura wriggled in his hold blushing and biting her lip, making her look sexier again. Kissing her hard and massaging her breast with his hands while pressing his abandonment against hers, he wanted her to scream and moan his name.

"Ge-"

"My name, Sakura!"

A loud moan followed when he pressed his erection hard against her. She seemed to be still hesitating in saying his name, so he had to do something.

His right hand left her breast and instead traveled down caressing her skin briefly before he played with her shorts. Kissing her again he slowly glided his fingers into her shorts feeling her panties before he finally slipped in. Sakura moaned out loud when she could feel his fingers at her entrance, playing with her.

"Say my name Sakura…"

He poured again, his fingers playing with her. She bit her lip again blushing and giving him uncertain looks. However when one of his fingers slipped all the way into her she moaned louder than ever before, not prepared for the sensation.

He inserted immediately another finger, turning them around and bending them, teasing her. Sakura was helpless, this unknown feeling was blowing her mind away, she wanted something, yet she didn't know what!

However when he inserted a third finger she could feel the pain, digging her nails into his shoulder, she whined, trying to reject his fingers. He wouldn't have any of it, trusting his fingers into her forcefully he liked the way she reacted.

"My name Sakura."

"Ge-"

A hard trust of his hand made her scream out loud, it hurt more than it-felt good.

"I-Itachi!"

Smirking against her breast he could feel her heart race. He took his fingers out of her but not entirely. Playing with her pearl he relished in her loud moans and whining.

After a minute he suddenly pulled back a bit and made quick work of his pants, giving her a fantastic view of his erection. Without waiting he pulled the short down throwing them away and finally he had her entirely naked, looking at her with wide eyes, he took every detail in liking what he saw.

Sakura however was embarrassed and tried to cover herself, but he caught her wrist and held them above her head.

"You're beautiful…" Whispering her incoherent thing he tried to smooth her a bit before he positioned himself at her entrance.

With one swift movement he was suddenly inside her and Sakura felt like she was exploding. A long pained scream left her lungs and Itachi kissed her softly. Waiting for her to adjust, he felt so good, she was tight around him, a virgin only minutes ago and it excited him, she was his now, so beautiful and soft and all his.

After she had calmed down, he pulled back a bit before trusting in again, slowly and patiently to not hurt her too much. She was moaning and digging her nails into his shoulder.

"Itachi…"

Kissing her hard, he trusted harder again. Hearing his name excited him, and it made him go faster and harder. Sakura was now screaming, the feeling in her belly was getting bigger and bigger, it felt as if would explode every minute.

And then she came, so beautiful, her face the most erotic thing he had ever seen. Only a minute later he came to, quietly, his groan suffocated by the kiss he was giving her. Leaning back a bit, he quietly exhaled, calming his heart a bit, he could feel her heart still, and how she was trying to catch her breath.

Letting his eyes wander over her, her eyes clouded with lust and a bit uncertainty, her lips reddened and kiss swollen, over her entire body were marks of him, sucking or biting her skin, she looked really breathtaking right now.

He could feel himself twitch inside her, the longer he looked at her, the more he wanted her again.

Sakura however, didn't, trying to push him away a bit so she could take a more comfortable position, she looked up at him, her breath still not as calm as his.

"I-I need to sleep, I'm tired-"

Interrupting her with a kiss, he suddenly slung and arm around her back and then she was sitting in his lap, with him still in her and with his chest only caressing against his.

"You will sleep here then."

She wanted to protest but inwardly she knew, that it was useless, so she didn't and just laid her head on his shoulder. She closed her eyes when he trailed soft kisses down her neck before he leaned back. She sighed when he put the cover over them, before putting his strong arms around her.

It was suddenly so quiet and calm that she didn't even need a minute before falling asleep, while trying to understand what just happened.


Sakura was awakened at the sound of shouting vehicles and the usual military noise. When she tried to move her head away from the bright light that was entering the tent, she could feel her entire body hurt like hell. What had happened? She couldn't remember everything; she had come back to the tent, and got dressed, before the General had suddenly asked her to heal his eyes and then-

O.M.G!

Everything came back in a flash and she thought her face would explode. How could she have done something like that? God damn it she had slept with the General of the military!

Sitting up she looked around to see if said person was still there, but she had luck. Searching franticly for her shirt panties and shorts, she tried to find everything but she could only find her shirt. Where had he thrown her panties?!

"Are you searching this?"

Screaming startled, Sakura jumped up a bit gripping the sheets tight to her body. Turning around, she was met with a pair of amused onyx eyes, her eyes immediately caught something white and black in his heart, and to her horror she saw that it was her shorts and panties.

Trying to snatch it away from him, he was of course faster; stepping forward he slipped an arm around her, pulling her close.

"Yesterday, I couldn't appreciate your taste in… cloth, but I must say I like it."

Sakura blushed when he showed her what he meant, apparently he like her black panties.

Sakura bit he lip and with all her strength she pushed him away, Itachi raised one eyebrow. Ignoring him she took her cloths and put them in record time, before putting his sheets back and sprinting behind the curtain, to her side of the tent.

She stilled and could feel his stare through the curtain and she inwardly prayed he would just go away.

For once Lady luck was on her side and she could hear his steps leave the tent. Breathing out relieved she looked at the clock first. She still had two hours left before her shift started that was enough time to calm herself and find a solution to this disaster. Her head swirled lone at the thought of what had happened last night. It happened so quickly and she felt a bit sore between the legs, her face burned at the thought of the look he had one his face last night.

No she shouldn't be thinking like that! He had used her! Yes that's right, he had used her!

…No she couldn't think like that either…. She had been part of it all and in the end she had felt really good, and one part of her wasn't regretting it at all.

Of course the rational part in her said it had been the stupidest thing in a long time she had done. Sleeping with the General of the military, god how absurd did that even sound?! Now she had to face him every day and live with the memories of that night, she would never be able again to look him in the face without blushing like a tomato! And it had been her first time too!

Blushing madly, she bit into the cushion and hit madly into the poor thing.

"You won't get a new one…"

Startled, she shot up and blinked at the familiar face in front of her.

"Sasuke?"

The smirk she got was smug and she giggled awkwardly at him. He raised an eyebrow and sat down next to her, ignoring her disheveled appearance, even if it was rather sexy.

"What's going on? You look like you've died."

She glared at him and smacked his knee.

"Well I didn't but more important what are you doing here?"

He seemed amused and leaned back, apparently content in her bed.

"Well, I wanted to see if you survived until now."

A blank look told him she didn't believe one word.

"The dope wants to see you, we'll meet on training ground seven after dinner."

Sakura grinned at him and let herself fall next to him.

"Ah I miss him too!"

The young Uchiha next to her rolled his eyes and kicked her softly in the chin.

"Ah ok, ok you too."

Smiling smugly at her, Sakura was glad to see that their friendship was still as strong as before. She felt really comfortable like that.

"Don't you have your duty?"

The cold, sharp voice interrupted the happy meeting and Sakura blushed again, reminding herself what she had done last night.

Sasuke was up in a second bowing to his older brother before hurrying off with one last glance at Sakura.

The pink haired girl stared hard at the floor trying to make out what to say. She had hoped to put this awkward situation to a later time but the General had miraculously reappeared again.

"Here."

Looking she saw that he was holding a plate with good-looking food in front of her. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten yet and eagerly took the plate from his hands.

"Thank you-"

She was interrupted by a sudden kiss, a sudden and very soft kiss. She blushed heavily again, when he broke the kiss and looked her into the eyes.

"I'll see you later."

He brushed his lips against hers and the look in his eyes was very much a like the one he had last night, making her shiver again.

When he was gone Sakura thought she would really faint.


"Kitten you seem awfully absentminded."

Sakura blushed and sighed for the hundred times. She was on the way to the tent for some nice dinner, Kakuzu at her side, and she had to admit that she was spacing out.

"Did something happen last night?"

Sakura blushed heavily and glared at him.

Kakuzu grinned and she immediately grew wary of him.

"So Deidara was right. You see last night, he suddenly rushed into my tent, as annoying as he is, and stuttered something about hearing suspicious screams and moans from the General's tent as he passed by. Of course I thought he was hallucinating but, who knows…"

He trailed off and Sakura was sure the way her cheeks felt, she must have looked like a walking tomato.

"Do-Don't tell anybody! I-I mean it's not as if something happened, but I eh don't think it's good to spread rumors!"
"Oh really Kitten? Then care to tell me what it was that Deidara heard? To me it seemed as if someone was having a very good F-"

"It just happened!"

Kakuzu burst out, laughing hard, it was just so hilarious, the little medic was awfully innocent and blushing heavily, seemingly awkward with the entire thing. What she didn't know, he had spoken with the General this morning and the Uchiha had reacted completely different. He had given him an unspoken warning of course but the way his eyes sparkled, told the old medic, that his friend had enjoyed the night very much, and it wouldn't be the last time.

"Well Kitten, I hope you're prepared for what will come!"

Giving her a soft slap on the shoulder, he grinned at the glare she gave him.


Sakura hurried the last steps down, paying attention to not stumble on the little rocks and dirt. She wore a huge smile on her lips and had to fight the urge to jump excitedly.

She would finally meet with her two former teammates again.

"Sakura-chan!"

Grinning widely she jumped at the hyper blonde and laughed hard as the boy fell to the ground, with her in his arms.

"Naruto! You've grown!"

The boy gave her his usual foxy grin and his blue eyes sparkled.

"Dope let her go."

The amused voice of the third former team member reminded her, and with a giggle she got up giving the young Uchiha a smug look.

"Don't even-"

"Sasu-chin!"

And with a loud laugh, both friends fell to the floor, in the movement, Sakura didn't notice how Sasuke blushed and put his arms tightly around her.

"Haha Sasu-chin got owned!"
Sakura giggled at their childish behavior and she could feel Sasuke sigh in exasperation under her. Supporting herself up, she sat in his lap grinning at him and crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Ah Sasu-chin don't tell me you don't like me anymore?"

He glared at her supporting himself up and huffing arrogantly.

The rest of the evening was spent with teasing, old and new stories and news about their lives. Sakura really had missed the old days, her boys were still the same but she knew it wasn't like before, she was now Tsunade's apprentice and they were military trainees. When she was finished with her mission here, she would return again to her current life and then it was really no way to tell when they would meet again.

But for now she dismissed those thoughts.

"Ah Sakura I can't believe you'll be the General's medic! I hope you'll survive his cold and intimidating glare! He really has an even bigger stick up his ass than Teme!"

"Is that so?"

Everyone froze at the sharp voice. Sakura gulped inwardly, cursing herself for forgetting the time! It was already dark; he had probably wondered where she was.

"Aniki! What are you doing here?"

"Well I was searching for you, the General told me you hadn't returned."

She bit her lip and laughed awkwardly. Standing up she dusted herself off and she could hear Naruto and Sasuke do the same.

"You two will be sleeping outside tonight, take your sleeping bags and make yourself comfortable in front of the tent. As for you Uzumaki, you'll be running some laps in the morning, for your nice compliment to the General."

The blond bowed his head embarrassed and both soldiers bowed to the Colonel before hurrying off.

"And you will return immediately to your tent. You're here for a mission and not to take nightly strolls around the training grounds!"

"It's not as if I did it every night! I just wanted to meet with them!"

Sasori's eyes narrowed and he stepped forward.

"This is a warning as your superior Sakura, you will not stroll around again or I'll have to punish you, is that clear?"

She glared at him, not believing how he was behaving towards her.

"It that clear?"

"Yes."

Nodding, he stepped back, dismissing her. Without a word she hurried away from him and disappeared into the darkness.


Sakura breathed heavily when she finally arrived at the tent and she ignored the General, going straight to her side of the tent.

This of course, made said man raise an eyebrow at her behavior and stare at her shadow on the curtain. She was lying on her bed and hugging her cushion. He sighed, she hadn't come back from dinner and when he had asked Sasori and Kakuzu, both didn't know anything. So he had returned to his tent and had stayed awake thinking of his little medic.

Quietly he got up and moved silently over to her side. He noted how she was still dressed in her knee length pants and her black shirt, with her vest on top of it. Her pink hair was in a messy bun, her face hidden in the cushion.

Stepping forward he leaned down and nuzzled her neck, startling the girl.

"Wha- oh eh General…"

Raising an eyebrow, he sat down on the edge of the bed and kissed the naked skin of her lower back. Sakura blushed at the softness in his movements. He seemed really handsome like that.

"I thought, I taught you to call me by my real name?"

She blushed at the memory and hid her face again in the cushion. Itachi however smirked and leaned down, his weight on her back and his lips on her exposed neck.

"So, what happened?"

Silence followed and he almost thought she hadn't heard him. But then she turned around facing him, glaring openly at him.

"As if you don't know."

Inwardly he already knew what was upsetting her. He knew Sasori would have been looking for her, and would have probably ruined the little meeting with her friends, but he didn't care, she was supposed to be here, in the tent, with him.

"Hn."

Suddenly he was pushed of her and she was glaring angrily at him, a very alluring trait he mused.

"Don't think you can just push me around like some little girl! I'm here as a medic, not as some sex toy!"

She blushed at the last word but held her ground.

"Last night won't happen again, so stop acting like that!"

Itachi wasn't pleased in the last. Perhaps he hadn't clarified it yet, but he had decided that she would be his from the moment he had woken this morning, she was such an alluring and beautiful girl, and he wouldn't let her go like that.

So his little blossom's new resolve made his intentions a bit harder to do.

"I don't think so."

Sakura blinked, not really expecting anything from him.

"You are mine from now on. You will be no sex toy, you will be much more; You'll be the only woman from now on and you'll be there only for me. You will not meet your little friends again and you will not flirt with any other man. I will not tolerate any other male in your presence."

Sakura's mouth was hanging open widely, and her eyes were probably falling out soon.

Was he crazy or delusional?! Were the hell did all hat come from suddenly?

"Wait, what? I'm no one's!"

"You're mine."

"NO! Stop saying that! I'm not someone's possession!"

Infusing chakra into her hand, she pushed him off and the next moment she was up going for the exit.

However he was faster again. With on arm he was holding her by the waist and with the other, he held her hands over her head.

"You will stay here. It's too late to go out like that."

Struggling without success, she snarled angrily at him.

"Let me go!"

The next moment she was pressed down the bed again, with his lips hard against hers.

"You will stay, or I'll have to punish you."

And with that last statement everything went black.


The next morning was hell for the second head medic. Waking up with a pounding headache and uncontrollable anger surging through her but unable to let it out at the source of all her current problems, put her in a bad mode.

Kakuzu had immediately noticed the furious mood, which surrounded the Medic and fought the urge to chuckle at her rather intimidating glare. Of course he was more amused than intimidated but she had managed to scare half of the medical staff and almost shooed all of their patients away, who had come to see the rumored beautiful little medic that was getting more and more famous for her gentle treatment and dashing smile towards her patients.

However today no such dazzling smiles were seen on the pretty face of the doctor only deep scowls or frowns.

Kakuzu sipped his coffee silently, observing the young medic as she brutally pushed the buttons on the coffee machine, impatiently tapping her foot.

As amused as it was for him, he had to put an end to her childish behavior, what a shame.

"Well Kitten I would say if you continue like that we'll have no more patients for the rest of your lives seeing as the rather want to die out there than get treated by us…"

She turned around, giving him a slight narrowing of her eyes before sighing heavily and falling down on the chair in front of him, putting her mug down before rubbing her face tiredly.

"I'm sorry I'm not in wonderful mood right now…"

She mumbled some incoherent things and he raised an eyebrow making her blush and pout slightly.

"Well you better spill what's gotten you in such a foul mode, I find it rather funny but I'm not so sure the General would be happy hearing about you frightening injured soldiers away because of your mode."

The sudden drop in temperature and her scowl at the mentioning of the General told him that the Uchiha had probably to do with her bad mood, or was the source of it.

She sighed knowing very well that it would be good to spill out her worries and let the anger vent a bit and seeing as her best friend was currently hundreds of miles away she settled with the best next thing. Kakuzu had become a very good friend these last days and shown that he was an intent listener and could have a soft side even tough he was greatly feared amongst the soldiers. She did not have anyone other to speak with seeing as she would never tell her brother any of the things that had happened between her and the General especially not since last night where he had- sneakily in her opinion- pulled rank on her. Also Kakuzu was the only one who knew about the night between her and that Uchiha bastard, Deidara had miraculously or stupidly believed the story of her running against a desk and screaming because she had hurt herself in doing so. He had given her a worried look and asked if it still hurt but was relieved when she had smiled and said no it didn't, really that guy was too gullible.

"Well you know about that one night where the General and I had… you know what."

He chuckled at her blush and embarrassment. She just glared and continued ignoring his amused looks.

"Anyway, he is treating me like I'm his property! I mean not only did he say I belong to him but he's acting as if I really do! Saying things like I'm supposed to be only there for him and should stay with him all the time, who does he think he is? I mean sure he's the General but that does not give him the right to handle me like some toy! I know that it was him who sent Aniki after me when I visited Naruto and Sasuke, I wanted to see them after such a long time but then he had to ruin everything. Of course he just does as if this wasn't his fault but he and I know exactly that all it takes is a little word to my Aniki and he would be all over the place to search for me! I can't believe it! And then when I can't stand this all anymore he just pushes a pressure point and puts me into bed! What am I an animal? A child? This is ridiculous!"

She was screaming now her hands balled into fists shaking with pure anger and her chest heaving in rapid movement while she was trying to catch her breath.

Kakuzu could only stare, slightly caught of guard with her words. The Uchiha Itachi, handsome little devil, who had gotten too many women to count into his bed, was laying claim on a girl and what seemed to settle down? Never before had he encountered even one female being, who could catch the Generals Interest in such a way. The Uchiha was known after all for being quite the playboy. He leaned back in his chair letting her words sink in. It seemed as if the raven haired man had clearly told her his intentions of courting her, of course in his own stubborn and Uchiha like way. It was actually amusing that the one female he chose to stay with would end up to be the one who wanted nothing more than run away from the possessive Uchiha. Any other woman would jump to the occasion and cling to him.

He grinned, surprising the pink haired girl in front of him.

She had finally calmed down and was giving the other medic wary looks as he seemed to be greatly amused by something.

"Well kitten I have to say congratulations, you're managed what no other woman could, taming that damn bastard."

Her jaw dropped and she was giving him the best imitation of a fish right now, making the older medic give out a raspy laugh.

"Uchiha Itachi is not one to say such thing lightly in fact I've never heard of him laying claim on any other female before. He must be really interested in you."

She gave him a hard glare not believing any of his words. Kakuzu shook his head and leaned forward.

"Even if his words are unconventional he means exactly what he says, to him you are now his, in normal terms, he wants to be with you, for you to be his girlfriend or whatever. When he says that he wants you to be here only for him and belong to him it's the same as if he is saying he wants to court you, which means for you to not see any other guys, or isn't that what a relationship is about?"

Sakura frowned.

"You can't call this a relationship! We slept for one time and he wants to court me? That's ridiculous! I don't know him and he doesn't know me there can be no relationship when we don't know each other! Anyway I never said yes to being in a relationship with him!"
"That may be but you know the Uchihas, they're stubborn and get what they want. Also I didn't talk about normal relationships, the standards for Uchihas are a little twisted apparently."

She gave him a skeptical look clearly showing that she was believing none of it. Kakuzu sighed and rubbed his temples, apparently the General wasn't the only stubborn one; trust him to find somebody as equally hard headed as he. Maybe that's why they actually matched?

"Well take it as you want kitten, but remember just that with the Uchiha you never know what comes, his way of doing things may be strange but he is a good guy and not one to lie or give any useless sentiments, what he says he means."

She huffed still not convinced but at least thinking about his words.


The rest of the day had passed quietly, seeing as she had more or less vented her anger and was now able to loosen up a bit. Of course now she had Kakuzus words etched into her mind.

Did the general really want for her to be his girlfriend? The man was already unpredictable enough but such a thing would never have crossed her mind. She knew that Kakuzu was right when he spoke about Uchihas and their messed up way of doing things. She had been since she was 8 in the same team with Sasuke and knew how stubborn, proud and socially awkward he could be. The young Uchiha had often expressed himself in a harsh and no nonsense manner; never did he use any unnecessary words and often hurt the people around him with his blunt words. It had actually taken a while for Naruto and her to understand that he often meant no harm but had been raised to speak his mind bluntly and only when he deemed it worth it. So when he wasn't being cold and anti social he was blunt and harsh to the point. After the three had graduated together from the academy the young raven haired boy had actually opened up a bit to his teammates, with Narutos sunny disposition and her gently and soft smiles he had seemed to get more social and relaxed in their presence at least. She was proud to say that the blonde knucklehead and her had managed to soften the Uchiha even if he more often than not was still brusque and blunt when speaking to others he at least spoke more when he was in their presence.

However it seemed as if the General never had such luck.

She scowled slightly as she recalled his words from last night, making some nurses around her flinch before they noticed that she was not mad at any of them but just lost in thoughts. They had after all come to accept that the young doctor was often spacing more or less.

She was still not convinced that Kakuzu was right with his explanation of the Generals words but a tiny little part of her was slightly ecstatic by the idea of the handsome Uchiha interested in her. She was after all only human and a girl with hormones that had recently been awakened and she could by no mean deny that the General was beautifully handsome and probably one of the best looking men she had ever come across, not to mention had he was the General of the military, which made him on of the most powerful men in Konoha.

But she had never been one to let such thing get to her. Of course she had those things in mind but to her they only complicated things. He was the General; she was a medic in training to become the next head doctor. He was the heir of his clan, she came from a family with no background whatsoever and with just her brother and some relatives in Suna. He was prestigious and his name well known through the country hell even the whole world and she a nobody. Well perhaps not exactly a nobody seeing as she was Tsunades, but she had always been rather modest when it came to her, growing up in the shadows of her brother and teammates, she had that inferiority complex integrated into her since she was young. So seeing as he was the General, she was not like any other woman that would be delighted and overjoyed to be 'courted' by such a man.

However next to that was the fact that even though they had shared one night she knew nothing about the man other than the wide known facts.

How could he even try and court her when he didn't even know one bit about her?

Sighing slightly, she made her way to the lockers to get changed and grab something to eat, trying to settle her spinning mind with some food for now.


Itachi stared blankly at the other occupants of the meeting room, silently assessing what had been decided today and how much they had advanced. These last days the biggest topic of the daily meetings had been the preparations for the future captain candidates. As it was the regulation, each captain had to pronounce the candidates in their units, which seemed fit to participate in the upcoming exams in, which the future captains would be chosen. Of course they had to explain their choice and afterwards the colonels would question the captains before the names were finally brought up to the General who would go over them and give his accord or not. This often took too much time in Itachis opinion but he knew that it was how things were done and seeing as there were often candidates that would not last until the end, it did not hurt to look them up before letting just anyone enter the competition.

As everyone was leaving the meeting room, done for the day, Itachi waited, his eyes scanning the final hand picked names a last time before they looked up, meeting an almost identical pair of eyes with just a slightly more soft edge.

"Shisui, what do you need?"

Said raven haired Uchiha grinned at his beloved baby cousin, and best friend before popping down on the seat next to him. Itachi observed him, still not understanding after all these years how the man was part of his family who was known for their tight and arrogant attitude whereas Shisui was such a bright and open individual. Of course he often mused that it was exactly those traits, which had drawn the slightly younger Uchiha to him and quickly become friends when they were much younger.

"Well I was actually asking myself about something and thought you could help seeing as you are the big boss here and all."

Itachi fought the urge to roll his eyes at Shisuis way of putting things.

"I remember clearly how you told me that you had asked for a medic seeing as we were in dire need for one, and then I also remember how you told me that said medic ad arrived right?"

Itachi didn't say anything and waited until the mischievous grinning colonel finally came to the point, it was one of the things he actually hated about his self acclaimed best friend, he always loved beating around the bush even if it was just to annoy his little baby cousin.

"Well then how come I still have yet to meet the medic? I mean apparently all the others have and that bastard Sasori won't tell me anything!"

The slight whining of the grown up man amused Itachi as he let it show for a moment on his face before straightening up again. Shisui, who had seen the amusement, narrowed his eyes before leaning slightly forward.

"Hey! That's not funny! If that medic is a hot one I want to know! I've been stuck on this base for over half a year, I could use a little action!"

At the sudden dark aura, which engulfed his cousin, Shisui blinked surprised by the hostile reaction. Itachi was clearly glaring at him apparently not happy with whatever he had said, which confused the colonel greatly, after all he better than anyone else should understand that a man has urges, Itachi was in any case even worse than him when it came to sex.

"I advise you to stay away from her. She is taken."

Shisui seemed rather disappointed by this before a sudden gleam entered his eyes and his lips stretching into a devious grin, making the younger Uchiha narrow his eyes in suspicion.

"Well that may be an argument but not a hindrance."

Itachi at first could only stare at his cousin blankly not really believing how frustrated he had to be to actually go for a taken female and once again asking himself if Shisui really wasn't adopted, when he remembered that they were still speaking about a certain pink haired little medic that Itachi had become rather interested in.

Once again glaring at his cousin, surprising him again by the intense reaction, Itachi got up taking his files with him.

"Stay away from her Shisui."

The cold and warning tone did not go unnoticed by the older Uchiha who just sat there for a minute unsure how to interpret the reaction. When he finally came out of his stupor, he noticed that his baby cousin was already through the door.

"Hey Itachi wait!"

Running after his superior and best friend the colonel could not help but think that there something going on.


For the umpteenth time that evening was Shisui surprised by Itachis actions. After following him through the base, trying to talk to his little cousin about why he seemed so upset about the new medic, he noticed that they were actually going for the tent where all the soldiers and captains would meet to get their food and eat together. This surprised him greatly seeing as one of the privileges of being General was to get high quality food, which was directly delivered to the Generals tent. It came with the fact that the General did not have the time to mingle with others seeing as he often had a tight and busy schedule. Shisui knew that Itachi often let his food be delivered to him in his office or his tent as he liked to eat alone, so why was he now going for the crowded tent?

He decided to say nothing and just watch what his little baby cousin was up to, ignoring the irritation which clearly shone in Itachis eyes as he was following him.

Swinging the curtain to the side they were greeted with the smell of food and loud chatter, which almost quieted down after they saw the General entering with the colonel behind him. Many apparently did not know what to do with the presence of the General outside of work. Many of the new recruits gave him open admiring stares, as it was the first time they actually saw the General. Shisui grinned at all of them waving stupidly to get them all to relax, which seemed to work slightly seeing as chattering got louder again even if many were still wary of the Generals presence.

Itachi however ignored everything around him looking for a certain someone. He had hoped to catch Kakuzu and have a word or two with him, The fact that he had not been there this morning to clear things with the little pink haired vixen had annoyed him greatly and he wanted to know how she had been at work.

However had had not expected to find the pink haired medic herself seeing as she was normally still in the hospital at this hour.

Well he could use this he just had to get her away from the group she was currently sitting with.

Suddenly his eyes narrowed when he saw her laugh and pat the arm of the red head next to her apparently amused at something he had said. He had thought that he had been clear enough when he told her to stay away from other men. Irritation spreading through him he silently made his way over to her in long swift steps.

Shisui hurried after him giving him curious looks. What was he up to now?

Itachi stopped when e was behind her and let his hand trail a slight caress up to her neck where he let it rest, making his presence known to her and to all the others with a small flare of his chakra.

Everyone looked up surprised and he could immediately feel her tense under his touch, her eyes widening slightly before she fought the urge to turn around and slap that bastard, hard! How dare he just lay his hand there as if she was his pet!

"Itachi, what a rare occasion to see you here."
Sasori gave him wary looks especially with the way he was so closely standing behind his sister, who seemed highly uncomfortable. From his point of view he could not see the hand that was slowly tangling itself in the ends of the silky pink strands.

"Yeah Uchiha what brings you here! I don't presume it's the food."

Kakuzu chuckled deeply already knowing the reason why the General was blessing them with his presence and apparently highly amused by the medic who was trying to control her anger.

Gaara, who had only minutes ago been speaking with the pink haired medic was slightly shocked to see her fidget with anger while the Generals hand was tightly fisted in her hair. He stayed silent but noted the way the Uchiha was hovering over her in a quite possessive way.

"Well hello to you too people! Just ignore me I'm not important it's okay."

Sakura blinked when she heard a second masculine voice behind her who sounded vaguely like Itachis but much more cheerful. Twisting her head around making Itachi let go of her hair or everyone would have seen the tight grip he had, irritating him some more, she looked up at the male that she hadn't met yet.

Shisui who had seen Itachis gesture grinned brightly, immediately understanding why he had been so hostile before and his more than strange behavior through the evening. His little baby cousin had found himself a little vixen and seeing as he was behaving rather possessive around her she was not just for play.

"Ah you must be the lovely new medic I've heard so much about! Pleased to meet you my name is Shisui."

He gave her rather sexy smirk and kissed her hand while looking into her emerald eyes. She blushed in a cute way apparently not used to such a greeting. Next to him Itachi was radiating hostility in waves, which amused the older Uchiha greatly. It was often impossible to get anything out of the stoic Uchiha so Shisui was greatly amused by the reactions he got and promptly chose to have some more fun, for once that he could.

Taking the only seat available next to her, he leaned back and put one arm on the back of her chair. Sakura who was still debating if she liked this stranger o not was slightly surprised when he spoke again sitting next to her.

"Well I must say the rumors do you no good, you're much more beautiful as they say. Perhaps I should get myself injured more often if I have such a lovely doctor looking after me."

He winked and she blushed a pretty shade of red but before she could say anything two hostile auras erupted at the same time, making the air quite thick with anger.

"If you want somebody to injure I'll gladly do it but I'm not sure you'll survive until you get to the hospital."
Shisui raised an eyebrow at Sasori whose normally bored eyes were suddenly lit with anger.

"What's gotten into you Sassy?"

At the hated nickname the red head twitched and Shisui was sure if looks could kill he would be dead by now, well if his little baby cousin wouldn't kill him first.

As if on cue Shisui could feel the familiar glare of the Sharingan burning holes into his head.

"Shisui remove yourself."

There was so much hostility in that icy voice that he almost winced, but he decided to push his luck.

Sakura was eying her Aniki warily knowing how overprotective he could be, well she was not exactly against it at the moment seeing as she did not know how to act with this man who was quite the charmer and Itachi who was probably trying to kill his with that aura, surely Shisui would now-

"Aww but I like being near Sakura-chan! She's so cute I could cuddle her all day-"

The moment he had put his arms around her to show what he meant, two chakras flared up before the chair he had previously been occupying before dodging, was blown to bits.

"Touch her again and I'll kill you, you sick Uchiha bastard!"
Sasori was now up his hand on his scroll ready to start the fight any minute now, while Shisui was holding his hands up in a protective way, chuckling sheepishly.

"Aww common it was just a joke-"

"Really now?"
Shisui tensed when he felt the presence of Itachi behind him, something pointy poking his back, the older Uchiha gulped when the pointy thing, which he was sure was a kunai, was poked harder into him, making the skin break and a small wound appear.

"Stop that! Calm down now, can't you see you're making a fuss?!"

Sakura who was clearly not amused glared at the three, who noticed for the first time that everyone in the room was watching them in fear. Sakura took her Anikis hand of his scroll giving him a warning look before stepping up to the two Uchihas. Itachis eyes were glued to her especially the way she was glaring at them. She put her hand over his signaling him to let the kunai fall.

However he did not seem to agree with her and wanted to say something but she cut him of with a pleading look.

"Please General you're making everyone nervous."

Noticing what she meant, he actually saw how tense everyone was, but most of all how her eyes softened and the gentle squeeze she gave him, making him loosen the grip on his kunai, before putting it away. She gave him a small grateful smile.

"Uff thanks Sakura-chan you-"

"You shut up! This is your entire fault after all."

Shisui was suddenly wary of the glare she sported. Who could guess that such a cute and pretty girl could be so intimidating. Taking a step back he chuckled sheepishly scratching his head.

"Uh well I-"

"Oh and this is for flirting with me and then saying it's a joke!"
Before anyone could blink the pink haired girl had swung her fist at the colonel, who was promptly blown off his feet and at least ten meters through the air, leaving a hole in his shape in the tent before stopping with his face scratching in the dirt.

It was quiet for a long moment before Kakuzu broke the silence with his loud raspy laugh.

"Pinky you have one hell of a punch!"


yeaaaaaah :O so she's already punching things-I mean men- I mean Shisui ^^'

be gentle and tell what you think x3
