A/N: Long time no see, with this little message before I start with the real story I would like to tell you all that I have no intention to make this a HarrySaku even if I seems like it. I don't even like Harry that much... So the reason I have so much Harry in it is so that I'll be more drama in it all, so please stop saying things about me making this into a HarrySaku. Well now that's said and done, please enjoy the chapter I have done for you all.

Sakura lay in her bed, thoughts running in an eternal circle in her mind, not letting her rest. "I couldn't hold my promise because love has no rule." Sakura buried her head in her pillow, this was worse than the main scene in a horror movie. Why did this happen to her? She was just an ordinary S-class criminal and pared up with the well known mass murderer Uchiha Itachi in Akatsuki. All she ever wanted to do was live a peaceful life and this wasn't even close to what she had in mind. There was a risk that he was still down there in the common room; Sakura had just simply run away after he had said that.

"Oh fuck this" Sakura mumbled as she sat up and changed into her combat outfit. Quietly in order to not wake up any of the others in the room, Sakura walked out from the room and made her way out trough the nearest window possible without having to go down to the common room. It was quite cold outside, Sakura could feel that the seasons where changing and autumn was taking over the wind in the sky. Sakura was in the forbidden forest by now but somehow she didn't feel like training anymore. She sat down by a tree in a clearing and starred up at the stars in the sky. She never really liked big cities; you couldn't see the stars there like here or at home.

"What are you doing here, looking all gloomy?" a voice said and Sakura looked up only to see Itachi standing in front of her.

"Itachi…?" Sakura mumbled as he sat down beside her in the cold grass. The moonlight shining on his raven hair makes him look really handsome. Wait! What am I thinking about?!

"How are you feeling?" Itachi asked, he had a concerned look on his face. Sakura blushed and fell silent as she starred at a rock a couple of meters ahead of them. "Did something happen?"

"No… Not really…" Sakura said, avoiding his gaze. Why could he always figure out when something was bothering her? Like he could see right through her. However, to Sakura surprise, he didn't ask more. They only sat there under the giant sky filled with gently shining stars, neither making a sound.

After a while, Sakura leaned her head on his shoulder but he didn't seem to care or even notice, just simply enjoying their time together like that.

"You know…" Sakura started and Itachi looked at her, his black eyes where somehow filled with warmth. "This probably sounds stupid and really corny but… I really like you, you know that right?" Sakura said and buried her face in his robe as with her pillow but this time to hide the faint blush on her cheeks.

Itachi carefully placed his arms around her and held her tightly against himself. "I know… I know…" He whispered.

They didn't know how long they sat there but it didn't matter, it was nice like this. I almost seemed like all the problems in the world had vanished and left was only the somewhat warm silence in the night.

"However… How much I ever want, I just can't bring myself to trust you nor anyone else for that matter. I can have these feelings and still I have that horrible complex that there never seems to be a perfect cure for. I thought for these past weeks that we've been here I might have opened myself enough to tell you everything that's in my mind at the moment…" Sakura said, her voice shaking.

"You say that and still you tell me this, I think that that's a good beginning at least." Itachi said, the tone of his voice was soft still determent. "Just take one step at the time, there's never a faster way around something and running too fast means that you probably will fall over. Carefully but not too slowly you'll find a path that fits you and only you… you'll see…"

Sakura looked at Itachi, he was fast asleep. How the hell can he just fall asleep like that… geez.His sleeping face has always been Sakura week point; whenever he'd fall asleep Sakura could sit and stare at him for hours. His long eyelashes, long black hair and pale skin. But with all the work he has been forced to do… it's not a surprise that he's so tiered.

After a while Sakura slowly fell into sleep in Itachi's arms, it was so warm and his scent made her feel as if she was back home in Japan.

The sunlight felt somehow much stronger that morning as Sakura woke up, the air seemed so much fresher and why was she sitting down. Sakura opened her eyes, where was she? It looked like some kind of forest, since when was she back in Japan. No, wait… this wasn't Japan at all, she was still in England. But how, where and since when was the ground this soft?

Sakura looked down, it wasn't the ground she was sleeping on at all, it was Itachi! She stared blankly at him, how could he sleep so peacefully under a tree in the middle of the forbidden forest where, Sakura had been reminded a few times, none of the students in the school even dared enter. However, he WAS an S-class criminal so these kinds of things shouldn't be anything special for him.

As Sakura found herself spacing out again she sat up and looked up at the sky. It was such nice weather though one would feel it in the air that autumn was coming closer and closer for every minute that passed in her very unusual life. Then it struck her in surprise as she saw the sun shining strongly behind a cloud, it was already past twelve o'clock! Sakura carefully glances back at Itachi who was still sound asleep; there wasn't much of a problem for her to be late but, what about Itachi? Didn't he have today completely filled with lessons? She knew this was a really bad thing for him but still she couldn't avoid giving him an evil smile.

"You're in real deep shit now huh…" Sakura mumbled and sat snuggled down beside him again. "We'll see when you wake up…"

"What will we see when I wake up?" Itachi asked and opened his dark eyes; Sakura could see that he had just woken up. "And why are you smiling…?"

"Oh you're awake, didn't notice that… did you sleep well?" Sakura said in a false cheerful smile, Itachi frowned back at her.

"You're acting really suspicious, what have you done now?" Itachi asked, irritation dripping from his cold words. However, Sakura didn't seem to care, instead she closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep. "Sometimes I question myself with you, do you know that?"

"Hey… That's mean…" Sakura pouted and a faint smile covered Itachis face. "And now you laugh at me! Geez!"

"You're really not cute…" Itachi said and Sakura started hitting him on his arm.

"I hate you! You can never make up your mind on something! Saying something and then you start talking about some other way of seeing things that ends with a totally different conclusion to what you first said!"

"Then if I was more one-sided and serious then you would stop saying things like that?" Itachi asked, his eyes was sharper and his expression was much more serious as his words where much colder than before. Still he hadn't activated his sharingan but it was almost the same, he took a firm grip of Sakuras arm and pulled her towards him, only with their faced half a centimeter from each other did Sakura understand what was happening.

"S-stop saying things like what?" Sakura tried to sound collected but it was hard with his peaceful breathing right in front of her, she was sure to be red as a tomato. He didn't response, instead he only moved closer.

"You have already missed four classes today!" Sakura burst out; his expression after her words was worth it all. It was the first time Sakura had seen him with such a surprised and horrified expression. Quickly he got up and looked up at the sky, it was true. He glared back at Sakura who was still trying to catch her breath, she had been forced to say it if she wanted to get out from that situation he put her in. Kind of stupid that she wasn't used to it yet, but Itachi would always find his ways to catch her off guard.

"Quit looking so proud and get up, we have to get back to the castle before I miss any more classes because of you." Itachi said and Sakura stood up with a grin on her face.

"As you wish, professor Uchiha, sir." Sakura said sarcastically. Itachi, who avoided her sarcastic acting right now, started walking towards the castle. Sakura quickly ran up to him and they walked through the forest together in silence. The only sound was the wind blowing by the trees as well as Sakura and Itachis footsteps. After a while with the silence, Sakura couldn't stand it anymore and started humming to some kind of song.

"Where did you learn that song?" Itachi asked, starting to get irritated with her humming on the same song over and over again.

"It's Hogwarts song… You should know that they have one. I know the lyrics too! Hogwarts Hogwarts hoggy-hoggy Hogwarts, teach us something please-"

"It's okay with just the humming." Itachi said, it wasn't a song that she should learn by heart. That kind of thing was entirely stupid; they were going to leave here soon anyway.

As they entered the castle once again Itachi hurried up to his classroom where he was going to have class in about two minutes, while Sakura quietly walked towards the great hall where they should still be serving lunch.

There were only a few people left in the great hall, all the teachers where gone and most of the students left where either reading or playing wizards chess. Sakura settled down on the empty Gryffindor table and grabbed a piece of bread, Sakura drew a X on the wall with her eyes and blankly starred at it for a while until she noticed a girl with long fluffy brown hair walking past the entrance to the great hall, it was Hermione. Hermione and Sakura starred at each other for a while before Hermione gave Sakura an evil smirk and walked away, giving Sakura the creeps. Hermione must have done something again; otherwise she wouldn't be giving her such a winning smirk.

Sakura quickly got up on her feet and ran out of the great hall, Hermione was already gone. Sakura went dashing trough the halls, she could hear teacher screaming at her angrily because of that but she didn't care. She ran with all her might up to the seventh floor and quickly dashed into the common room where the whole Gryffindor house was standing, starring at her with hateful gazes. Only their gazes where like daggers, hitting her and making her bleed, their whispers sounded like screams and echoed in Sakuras head.

What had happened here, why was everyone so angry? What had Hermione done? Sakura felt sick; quickly she backed away and ran back from where she came and into the nearest bathroom.

After throwing up she didn't even feel better, she couldn't even stand up as she fell to the bathroom floor. That house, no this castle was like her family, why would Hermione make them all into such monsters. Such hideous beings…

"Sakura! Sakura, Where are you?" Sakura could hear Harry and Ron shout from outside the girl's bathroom, they continued shouting after her, they sounded worried. Sakura wanted to shout back, tell them that she was there, they could help her. However, with Harry there, she couldn't face him. She didn't want to face him!

"Itachi…" Sakura mumbled as her tear fell.

A/N: Sorry for the lateness of this chapter, but if it wasn't for my promise to myself that if I didn't put this up before Monday I would commit suicide, it wouldn't be here… So it's fifteen minutes to Monday and here it is, and I will live long enough to finish this story and read the end of Naruto (goals in life). It has felt so empty somehow because I haven't had anything to look forward to lately but now I have! I'm going to meet up with one of my friends on Tuesday that I haven't met in a long time! Yeey, he's really nice.

This chapter was supposed to be a bit longer, however, I just couldn't fit in anymore right at the moment but I promise that I'll get going with the next one as soon as I can. Well… I don't really know what more to say right at the moment actually, I have been drinking a lot of milk recently… is that something interesting?

Oh well, please leave a review before you leave (keep thinking about how many reviews I should have by now if I hadn't happened to delete this story and been forced to put it up again).

With Love (with a big L for reasons unknown)
