The cold evening breeze was a welcome refreshment for Sakura's tired and worn out body. The pinkette stood, relying her weight on one of the numerous balustrades situated in the French style castle, which was in the possession of Sarutobi Hiruzen - Asuma's father. The old man demanded to celebrate the wedding in this particular castle, situated on the outskirts of Tokyo, because of its French style interior design and also due to the romantic atmosphere, as he had put it in his speech.
The worst parts of the wedding - for Sakura the hours before and after the ceremony - were already over and currently the guests were happily chatting, plotting and whatsoever. Sakura looked back at the events that took place and somehow had the sudden urge to bang her head against the balustrade, she settled on a sour face instead.
After she and her parents exited their limo and stood on the red carpet, only seven hours ago, Sakura had to maintain her 'perfect daughter' façade the whole time and gave dozens of interviews. The church was cramped and the pinkette felt sorry for the building. In total there were about 350 guests and every each of them was part of the elite world.
A small smile made its way to Sakura's face upon remembering the only pleasant moment. It was when the bride entered the church and the music started to play. The look on Kurenai's face was a peaceful and happy one. She was clad in a long, mesmerizing dream of white and cotton.
Kurenai looked gorgeous.
Her hair was done in the most beautiful hairdo. She looked so elegant and so, so happy. Everyone were able to feel her cheerfully radiating feelings. Then, the couple looked at each other and Sakura just knew they completely out blended every presence there. They only saw each other. The pinkette caught herself wishing how she'd like to find her special someone and feel the same way for him.
However, her smile left her face the second Sakura remembered the after events. Kizashi and Mebuki refused to let their precious daughter wander off and released her four hours later, after they congratulated the freshly married couple and greeted the most important individuals.
They socialized with 218 out of the 350 guests.
A frown made itself visible at the memory of the two, most hyperactive, Uzumaki's Kushina and Naruto. The pinkette was very close with the Uzumaki Clan and had many friends there, their cheerfulness always made her worries fly away and she just lived the moment.
However ,today Naruto's stories about his development with Hinata and Kushina's very manly but cute laugh were completely unwelcome, not needed and annoying. The pink haired beauty just wanted to go through with it with as less efforts as possible, and talking with the two Uzumaki's is a huge effort when someone knows them as closely as the rosette.
Kushina is known for her fierce personality and extremely dangerous outbursts. Mix in a loud mouthed, no-common sense having blonde and you have your worst nightmare. Ever.
Sakura allowed herself to let out a sigh in a hopeless attempt to relieve some stress. She wanted nothing more than to return to her suite, gather her belonging and get the hell back to Tokyo for some University classes. In order to calm herself Sakura began repeating her whole process of a Cardiovascular surgery.
However, the intern-to be did not notice formulating every thought that crossed her mind out loud, for everyone to hear. Before realizing her thoughts were actually leaving her mouth she felt a delicate tap on her shoulders. It did not occur to Sakura that said tap was made by someone she hadn't seen for years. Instead of thinking she turned around, with her eyes still closed, and was still talking about a surgery. To top it all Sakura was hell as sure to greet a grinning, long haired Yamanaka blonde.

Itachi was just about to join a conversation with his father and the Hyuuga heir. Be that as it may, the moment he passed by the open balcony door a sweet, intoxicating voice caught his interest. His long and determined strays stopped and he turned his attention towards a ..pink? figure lurking in the back of the porch.
The future Uchiha heir did not know why but decided anyway to approach mentioned figure.
"..that has grown in popularity is robot-assisted heart surgery. This is where a machine is used to perform surgery while being controlled by the heart surgeon. The main advantage to this is the size of the incision made in the patient. Instead of an.."
Were the strange female's words that greeted Itachi. Then, he slowly began to realize who it was.
Haruno Sakura
He remembered her, how could he not? She impressed him once, by leaving the high society life and joining the ranks of civilians. If he were to believe the rumors then Sakura left because she wanted to live a life where the family did not decide ones future. She even took it further by entering Med School and pleading the Tsunade, one of the top ten best doctors worldwide , to take her as a student. To Itachi's and everyone else's surprise the famous doctor has agreed.
He recalled how his father's eyes went an inch wider upon hearing the news. Tsunade once disagreed to personally teach Sasuke (even though he did not want to) the ways of a surgeon, that's why Fugaku automatically thought no one would be good enough for the strict, no nonsense whatsoever, blonde.
But this pinkette showed him otherwise, even if he would never admit it.
Itachi was intrigued by Sakura and wondered how much she'd changed. The last time he saw her was on his otouto's sixteenths birthday and even then he was surprised by the charm emitted from her. He wondered about the result a conversation with her would bring.
Taking a closer look at her appearance he noticed how she gained curves just in the right places. Her dress was magnificent and the length of it allowed her beautiful , fairy toned legs to shine with elegance and sex appeal. Her waist was very petite looking and he fought the urge to hug her and crave her as his own possession. The rosette's hands were thin and Itachi slightly wondered if she was eating properly. Then his attention wandered to her slender back and..
He wanted to see her dress fall off her body.
However, the genius knew exactly that such an act was only possible after he actually introduced himself officially to his prey.
Hearing as the little Med Student repeated the definition of a minimally invasive surgery he decided it would definitely turn out to be quite interesting.
Itachi tapped Sakura on the shoulder in order to catch her attention but to his surprise, she turned around with closed eyes held up a finger and continued with her lecture;
".. The development of cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass techniques has reduced the mortality rates of these surgeries to relatively low ranks. For instance, repairs of congenital heart defects are currently estimated to ha…ve.. SHIT, you're not Ino!"
Finally, she seemed to have realized his presence, nevertheless he did not expect her to act this way. She was known to behave ladylike under no matter what circumstances. Never trust rumors. This petite female certainly was entertaining.
To display his amusement Itachi allowed Sakura to withdraw one of his characteristic smirks.

One moment Sakura was happily blabbering about one of her easy learned definitions and then, out of nowhere, she sees Uchiha freagin' Itachi standing right here in front of her,….smirking .
Oh, how she wished to just dissapear.
Before however, being able to magically vanish into thin air, a deep and sensually sexy voice spoke to her.
"I do not think that's the exact definition of the risks in a Cardiac surgery, Haruno-san. Would you mind explaining them to me once more?"
Yeah, Sakura definitely wanted to disappear from the Earth's surface.
He was waiting for an answer. From her. His eyes were glimmering with the unspoken amusement he felt. Even though Sakura wanted to loose herself in his mesmerizing onyx eyes and appreciate their beauty , her ego appeared to be more important. Like hell she would embarrass herself further right in front of the Uchiha Itachi. Genius, prodigy, the pride of the whole Uchiha clan, et cetera.
So she talked.
"...Th…."
Oh fuck was the only thing that registered in her mind. Not even her inner self was able to comment her so very not stupid behavior. That's just Sakura's luck. Out of all people that could have made her nervous, her fate choose the stoic Uchiha prodigy. She cursed in her mind like never before and decided to get a hold of herself and do at least something.
So she talked, once more
"The development of cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass techniques has reduced the mortality rates of these surgeries to relatively low ranks. For instance, repairs of congenital heart defects are currently estimated to have 4–6% mortality rates. A major concern with cardiac surgery is the incidence of neurological damage. Stroke occurs in 2–3% of all people undergoing cardiac surgery, and is higher in patients at risk for stroke. A more subtle constellation of neurocognitive deficits attributed to cardiopulmonary bypass is known as postperfusion syndrome, sometimes called "pumphead". The symptoms of postperfusion syndrome were initially felt to be permanent, but were shown to be transient with no permanent neurological impairment."
Sakura mentally patted herself on her shoulder. At least the ten years of her mother's "how to control your emotions properly" lessons had finally paid off.
"I think that would be the correct way to describe the risks of a Cardiac surgery. Should I explain it a second time, Uchiha-san?"Sakura put on her realistic fake smile she'd used all the day.
The Uchiha felt the anticipation rise, he really was enjoying himself.
"There is no need to, Haruno-san. Allow me to formally introduce myself I am Uchiha Itachi" he took Sakura's hand and then proceeded to kiss it however, the pinkette was quicker to act.
She snatched her hand away from his gentle touch "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance then. Though, I do not think it is proper to act this way, especially since it is our very first meeting."
Itachi was bemused. Judged by the look she gave him, she was… teasing him.
Truth to be told, Sakura sure as hell knew this was not their first meeting, but there was just no way she'd admit it to Itachi. It'd be the same as capitulating and Sakura hated to loose.
"I shall refresh your memory then, Sakura. I do remember we met during my otouto's birthday banquet four years ago." The Uchiha took a step closer and was now just two inches away.
Itachi stood a bit too close for Sakura's liking yet, she's not going to back off first.
Seductively putting her index finger on her delicious pouting lips she replied "Oh, really! How could I forget. I apologize, Uchiha-san. I hope you can forgive my rudeness." Answered Sakura sheepishly. She grinned slightly, amused by the game the two of them started playing.
"I do know a way of how you could make it up to me." Itachi abruptly closed the distance between them and in a blink of an eye his lips crashed into Sakura's.
Sakura stood shocked. Staring with glowing, big emerald eyes into Itachi's onyx ones. Itachi then proceeded on moving his lips against hers, encouraging Sakura to accept his invitation and join him to the sensually dance.
The pinkette didn't know what hit her. She suddenly began moving her lips, in unison with his, earning from Itachi a low growl of approval. He then proceeded to take things further. He nipped delicately at her lower lip and slid one of his hands onto her waist, gently massaging it, the other palm wandered to her neck in order to provide a better angle for him.
Sakura moaned and Itachi took the opportunity and delicately slid his tongue into her hot cavern, she then once more moaned a little flushed by his boldness. Sakura decided to hook one of her legs onto his hip. Itachi understood her signal, he immediately helped her and hung both of her legs onto him.
And so their passionate dance had begun.
