"Why aren't you doing anything?" Sasori buried his head in between her breasts that Sasori took the wrap off of a while ago, he sobbed into her chest. " Why are you doing this to me? Why are you making me feel? I'm the famous Puppet Master damn it!" His hands let go and held onto her ribs, supporting himself.

Sakura let her arms hug his back and let her right hand run up and down his back, trying to comfort him in his fit. About half an hour had passed with his fit and he soon went to sleep with his head in between her chest. Soon after, Sakura fell to sleep trying to comfort him. As she slept, what she didn't know was Sasori had made himself a spot in her heart right next to Itachi's.

Hours passed and both Sakura and Akasuna no Sasori had slept.

An orange sun made its way through the blinds, resting on Sakura's eyelids. She opened them and looked down to see Sasori still sleeping on her chest with his arms wrapped around her. She looked down to see her bindings were gone and looked around. They were on the ground by the bed. Sakura did a clone jutsu and replaced herself with a clone on the bed so she could get the bindings back on. She began binding herself once again and looked behind her when she was done. He was asleep, light breathing and a sad but content look on him. Sakura studied his expressions, but what did she see? Did she see what he wanted? Did she see what he was content with?

No, she just took it as him being at peace in his rest. She began slipping her things on when she heard a slight knock at the door. She looked back at the bed, undid the jutsu and still saw him sleeping. She tiptoed over to the door and opened it a crack. She looked up a little to nothing but a dark hallway. She was confused, did someone knock or didn't they? She opened the door a bit more and walked out into the hall, closing the door behind her. She looked around and saw nothing but the dark; she couldn't even see her hands. What happened to the hallway lightings? "Hello," she let it echo into the hall," Anyone there?" The lights on the ceiling staggered to come on and then did. Sakura looked to her left and saw part of a cloak go with the next hall.

Sakura began walking towards the corner and peeked her head out to see down the hall to find user of the cloak and found the same things happen with another hall. She ran, making sure she was keeping her quiet. She ran down the hall and then stopped and did the same thing at the turn. She looked down that hall, saw nothing. She mentally growled and put her back against the wall and took a breather and looked around. Well, this corridor looked familiar. Was this the one she was in earlier? She didn't really care about that at the moment, she slid down to the ground and sat down. Was she seeing things?

She sighed, beginning to think about Sasori only to put him aside with thoughts of Itachi. Blush began to plague her cheeks. He was like an older Sasuke, but was it wrong of her to feel a little for Itachi? Or would someone tell her she only felt something for him because he was like an older Sasuke? Was that it? She didn't seem to think so; Itachi was different than Sasuke, much different. It wasn't because he was older, no, but his eyes and mannerisms were different from that of Itachi's. He was quiet, more mysterious than Sasuke could have ever been and his eyes, oh yes, his eyes were not ice but they were 

indeed softer and they held something, something that Sakura would have to figure out. Yea, she knew she didn't know Itachi very well, she only knew him for about a day or two, but she could tell a difference between him and his little brother. Sakura slightly felt her gut twist into knots when she thought of Sasuke. She didn't think of him like she once did, but the thought of him now, it scared her. The Snake Master, Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Saninn, the man who took Sasuke over with evil, he still plagued Sakura's mind with nothing but darkness and the blood Sasuke would shed from people.

The thought of him scared her, but wouldn't the same for Itachi? She couldn't decide, she would have to figure Itachi out for herself, right? She sighed once more as she let her head lightly touch the wall. What was she getting herself into, saying ok to the mission that Tsunade-sama gave her? Tsunade herself looked worried even more when Sakura accepted, but Sakura didn't know until now what it was going to get her into, now she did. Sakura switched thoughts, she thought about Konoha and the upcoming festival of the first falling of leafs. It was now becoming autumn and she thought about where she would have gone with her friends. She chuckled; Naruto would've dragged them to Ichiraku, like always. She opened her eyes and saw nothing but hallways and doors. Slowly, Sakura got up and thought about getting back to Sasori. Did she sound like a wife or what? She shook her head and was about to take a peek down the hall when someone's chest bumped into her face. Sakura yelped in surprised and fell backwards.

Sakura looked up to see Itachi in front of her. She sighed, getting up with his hand for support. "Damn, Itachi, you scared me." Itachi chuckled," As seen." Sakura playfully punched his arm.

"Hey, Hidan, un…doesn't it look like those too have taken a liking to each other, un? I mean, I've never seen Itachi act like that ever, un." Hidan took a peek out the crack of the door," Yea, they seem to have connected. Damn, what would Akasuna no Sasori say about this?" Hidan shut the door and looked at Deidara," He'd have a heart attack, un." Hidan shook his head," Yea, damn right he would, but I can't help but say I've taken a liking to her too." Deidara chuckled," I think we all have, un. Even if it was a sort while, un." Hidan sighed and opened the door to find they were gone.

"Hey Itachi, about yesterday-"Itachi cut in," Forget about it. I don't know what came over me." Sakura looked to the ground," Ok." She let it go," What has become of my brother, Sakura-san?" Sakura kept watching the ground," He's become a loathing character, set on two goals. He only went to Orochimaru to get stronger so he could finish his ambitions straight. When we were team seven he clearly stated his ambitions, one was to revive his clan and the next was to kill a certain someone, and I'm assuming that's you. All I kept hearing was he was the only one you let survive out of the entire family. Out over ever one in the Akatsuki, you're the only one I know a little bit more."

Itachi kept looking forward," It was long time ago, people were involved and I was sent to do something. You think I'm a monster, don't you? Like the rest of them. " He stopped walking, starring at the ground, his fist starting to tighten. Sakura stopped and looked at him," A monster? I admit when Sasuke would ever get started on talking about you, it would make me flinch, but now, I see someone, not something that you created in his mind. You actually weren't what I expected. You might have killed your family, for whatever intensions, but it's not my place to blame you, nor to say you're a monster. My 

place, I'm only here to help, I can't say anything past that. You might be tough but your eyes say otherwise." Sakura stopped talking, her eyes widening, had she found what his eyes held after all? Or was that only a mere piece of it? Sakura stepped back," that was probably a little much, I beg my pardon." Itachi didn't say anything, but ran up to Sakura and pinned her to the wall. Sakura looked around, the hall becoming darker and soon they disappeared just like how he did when she last saw him.

Sakura closed her eyes and then opened them. Sakura looked around to see what looked to be a bedroom and then remembered the person holding her against the wall. His eyes went red, her vision going between reality and not, only to come back to reality. Itachi's eyes held the Sharingan; slowly it faded and his eyes went back to onyx. "I-I can't do that to you." Sakura blinked, he was about to use his Sharingan on her, but he didn't. Ha, he proved her point. "Point proven," he muttered to her. Sakura felt his hands release upon her vest shirt and he turned around only to plop onto the end of his bed. Sakura still stood against the wall, blinking, trying to take in what happened. Sakura shook her head and took a step and turned her head towards him.

"Whatever reason it may have been, Itachi, I don't think you're a monster. It would take more than that. But you're not a monster. Yea, maybe Sasuke is starting to make me feel knots in my stomach because he's becoming stronger with evil, but he's not a monster, only a lost soul who's in need of guidance. That's it. I've come across people with demons that were sealed inside them, but, they were no monsters. Just misguided and guess what, they turned their ways around. You're no monster."

Itachi would never admit it, but he felt something inside break. His heart felt different, was it because he had reassurance? Was it because someone told him otherwise of his beliefs? He was utterly confused. Sakura walked over and slowly let her hand rest on his hand that was rested on his knee. Itachi looked up at her," You really believe that?" Sakura only smiled," Do you believe me?" Itachi nodded, his face held no expression," Sakura?" She nodded to let him go ahead," I'm not sure I can hold myself back any longer." Sakura's brow furrowed," Excu-"Before she could continue, Itachi grabbed her arm and slammed her to the bed, him on top. His face coming close to her's, his eyes transfixed on her pink colored lips that had taunted him for so long. "I-Itachi," she said with a little shock of what he was doing.

Before he went on with what he was about to do, the door opened and there stood Akasuna no Sasori," Itachi!" Both Sakura and Itachi went white; Itachi looked at the door, Sakura looking to the side to see him. Sasori took a step back in shock, "Itachi, what are you doing to Sakura?"
