Summary:

Tsunade and Uchiha Mikoto has devised a plan in order to bring two unlikely people together. All they ask is for Sakura to write to Itachi every week until he comes home from a mission until their engagement is finalized. It should be simple...right?


To Itachi, With Love

Letter 7


Dear Honey Boo Boo,

I am so sorry I insulted your precious show! Will you ever forgive me? (sarcasm)

First off, I would like to state that I don't know why you are so offended. I only mentioned that you liked the show to Ino in passing. I never imagined she would tell the entire village about your favorite show!

But, I guess it works in your favor, Uchiha.

Your fan club (yes, all Uchiha males have a fan club) has reached astronomical levels. From the most recent poll, you are the hottest thing since Gaara of the Sand but in my opinion you look slightly better.

I am curious as to why you would like know what my favorite color is. Since I AM bored, I figured I would answer your question.

At first glance, upon my appearance, you would think pink is my favorite color but it is not.

My favorite color is black.

No, onyx may be the closest color to describe it.

Not only do I find the color mysterious and alluring, but there is something about the way it looks in sunlight that astounds me every single time.

It just so happens to be a beautiful color. I don't know why I love it so much but I just...do.

By the way, your mother is still insisting upon trying on wedding gowns. I'm wondering if you would be terribly upset if "something" mysteriously happens to her before the "wedding" because she is driving me completely insane.

I just don't understand HOW your father puts up with that!

As you may already know, I am not a fan of huge weddings.

I feel it is over the top and cliche to have the huge wedding, with a huge reception, and a huge ball gown to announce to the world that you are getting laid later.

Yes, I said laid!

If I had it my way, I would choose somewhere quiet and secluded like a private island with white sand beaches and tropical drinks. I know you are smirking and you better quit before I slap the smirk off your face, Uchiha!

But, as I was saying, I like the idea of being a barefooted bride so I could feel the warm sun at my back and the sand between my toes.

In my dream wedding, there are only two people, well three, if you count the priest.

It would be a special moment between my husband and I. Afterward, we would have a HUGE reception later that would include family and friends.
Then at the end of the night, when all is said and done I would brush my husband's dark hair from his eyes and then we would (entire sentence is scratched through but is still visible.)

As I said, that was my dream wedding. Kinda silly, huh?

You may ask why I didn't mention this to your mother. Well, I thought this type of idea would be appropriate for my DREAM wedding. Since this is far from the dream wedding or relationship I wanted, I figured I could save this idea for my next lifetime.

Be safe on your trip, honey boo boo.

I would hate to have to kill you once again if you died on this mission.

Sincerely,

Haruno Sakura

P.S. Will you please stop sending chocolates now? I checked the scale and I have gained at least ten pounds! I wonder if you are trying to fatten me up so I won't run away on the wedding day. (Damn Uchiha is scratched through)


Dear Shishou,

I just wanted to stop in and give a quick update on the mission. I must be honest, I find myself looking forward to each letter from the Uchiha. Yes, I know that sounds almost fan girlish but let me explain.

I feel as if we are friends who are corresponding long distance, even though I hate his guts. Sasuke mentioned today as he was following me around that there was a possibility of Itachi coming home early.

I was wondering if that was true and if it is true, what does that mean for this letter assignment?

I am curious as to why you wrote everything will be explained once Itachi comes home? Am I missing something important here?

Your apprentice,

Sakura
