Crimson Blossom
A/N: I am so sorry that it took so long to get this on! Although it is longer then all the others! Please Enjoy and I hope you will one day forgive me.
'Last time: 'Couldn't wait to experience a real kiss...'
"Get back here! Chicken! Take your punishment like a man you baby!" Sakura yelled as she ran. Sakura out ran all the friends. They were in P.E. playing dodge ball well... they were doing a demonstration for the class and Deidara through a dodge ball at Sakura's chest and now she was currently trying to kill him.
"It was so an accident! Please dear god don't hurt me!" Deidara yelled as Sakura reached for the collar of his shirt. Itachi and the rest of the Akastuki were tying to catch up to them while Sasuke and his friends were laughing too hard to help. Well all but Hinata.
Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro were cheering her on. "Go on Sakura! Kick his ass!" Temari cheered. "Yeah!" Gaara and Kankuro cheered as well. Sakura kept slipping out of Itachi's grip when he caught up with them. Sakura took a leap of fate and tackled Deidara. Sakura pulled on his blond hair.
"So blondie! Do you want me to shoot you now or should I wait." Sakura threatened. Deidara eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. "Later please, Sakura!" Deidara cried. Sakura growled. Deidara whimpered. Itachi came up behind Sakura and grabbed her around the waist and pulled her off the blond.
Sakura didn't resist, she let Itachi drag her away from the blond. "Shh.." He whispered in her ear. Sakura felt her face grow hot. She nodded slowly to hind the deep red mark on her cheeks. Itachi let go of her just in time for the other friends to catch up. Sakura's other classmates were cheering.
Also Gai sesnsai was yelling something Sakura showing the most powerful way of expressing her youth. Sakura had spent half the class chasing Deidara. Now that it was close to the end of class Gai allowed them to get changed. Sakura's face was slightly red as she started changing.
All her gal pals were congratulating her on getting Deidara to nearly piss his pants. Well all but Hinata. But that was ok. Sakura and the others walked out once again just as the bell rang. Sakura being the smart girl that she was already knew that Ino had told all the friends where she lived and her number.
Sakura was about to sigh when Temari appeared next to Sakura and gave her a high five. Sakura smiled at her best friend. They giggled all the way to the bus. Sakura sat with Hinata while Temari and Kankuro sat in front of them. Gaara sat with Naruto. They had became friends almost instantly.
They all chatted about different things. When Sakura's stop came the Uchiha brothers, Sakura, Temari, Hinata, Ino, TenTen, and Konan got off as well. The boys raised their eyebrows. "Why are you girls getting of?" Kisame asked. "Yeah Konan where the hell you going?" Hidan asked. "We're going to Sakura's house!" TenTen said.
The boys all nodded understandingly. Konan rolled her eyes but said nothing else. The girls turned and walked down the street with Sakura leading the way. The girls waved goodbye to all the boys as they entered Sakura's house.
"Where's your mom?" Ino asked. "Work." Sakura answered simply. They all nodded. "What are going to do first?" Konan asked. "Her hair!" TenTen yelled. Hinata jumped. TenTen scratched behind her head sheepishly. "Sorry..." She apologize. Hinata nodded slowly with her hand over her heart. Sakura rolled her eyes.
All the girls headed upstairs into Sakura's room. After about 3 hours they all stepped back to get a good look. They all smiled and nodded. Sakura stood up and walked over to the mirror to see how she looked. Sakura had to admit that she looked really good.
Sakura had her hair in a large braid that reached her waist. No makeup because Sakura was pretty enough and the makeup would ruin it. She was in a knee length dress that was a light pink. The top of the dress was a sleeveless and was silk. It swayed behind her. She had a choker that was black with a cherry on the front. They went all out! They even painted her finger nails red and black.
Sakura looked at Konan. She shrugged and smiled. Sakura rolled her eyes playfully. Sakura slipped on pink flip-flops. The girls smiled and left.
5 minutes later!
The door bell rang. Sakura smiled and headed for the door. When she opened it there stood Sasuke in all his glory. He was wearing a plain white shirt and dark jeans with a sexy smirk. Sakura blushed and smiled brightly. Sasuke nodded and they walked to the car.
When Sakura got home about 3 hours later it was dark. She stood outside her house watching Sasuke drive away. Sakura had lots of fun. She had popcorn, candy and a Mountain Dew. Sasuke was sweet and fun to hang out with. They saw 'Click' and it was hilarious!
Sakura looked around the driveway and saw no car. Her mom wasn't home. Sakura put her spear key into the lock and walked in and closed the door behind her. She turned on the living room light and saw the answering machine blinking. That meant there was a message.
She walked over and clicked the button and Itachi's voice came out, "Sakura I was just calling to make sure that you are aware that my mother got your mom's message and said to come over at 8:00. Also could you call me back? I'll talk to you later." With that there was a beep and Itachi's voice was gone.
Sakura smiled and deleted the message. Sakura walked into the hall to look into the mirror at her reflection. She hung her keys on the little hooks at the bottom of the mirror. Sakura looked back in the mirror in time to see Sai walking towards her with a angry face.
Sakura screamed and bolted out of his path. Sakura turned to look at him. Once again he was heading straight to her. Sakura's eyes nearly bulged out of her head. He reached out to grab her but she moved away in time. He was so close that when she turned to run her braid smacked him in the face. He rubbed his cheek before he trailed after her again this time he ran to catch up with her.
Sakura bolted upstairs and into her room. She didn't have time to lock it because he was pushing at it. Tears traveled down her rosy cheeks as she tried to keep him out. "Go away!" Sakura screamed. "You bitch!" Sai yelled back.
Sakura didn't know what to do. He rammed the door. Sakura nearly fell over. She pressed herself against the door again and cried harder. She prayed for god to save her. Sakura heard him back up and run to ram the door again. Then a thought came to Sakura.
She stood up quickly and got out of the way. As she assumed he rammed the door and without Sakura applying pressure the door gave out and Sai's destination was the floor. He grunted as he hit the ground. Sakura took this opportunity to bolt out of the room. She raced down the stairs and tripped on the 5th to last stair and tumbled down the rest.
Sakura screamed in pain. She landed funky and it hurt her greatly. As if now god decided to help her out, her phone rang. She pulled out the phone and clicked on. She heard Sai struggle to get up in her room.
"Hello?!" Sakura said panicked. "Sakura?" Came Itachi's voice. He sounded worried. Sakura's eyes bulged again. "Dear god! Itachi you have to help me! Sai is in the house and I'm scared! Please come and get me I fell down the stairs! He's upstairs!" Sakura panicked. "Alright! I'm on my way! Try to get out of the house! Stay on the phone!" Itachi advised.
Sakura nodded and struggled to her feet. She limped to the door. Just then she heard Sai get to his feet and was heading for the stairs. Sakura through open the door and closed it behind her. "Itachi! He's coming! Please don't let him get me!" Sakura sobbed as she hobbled past her lawn on the side walk.
"Don't worry! I see you!" Itachi called. Sakura looked up and saw a black car heading her way. She heard him hang up. Sakura hobbled faster. She turned to see Sai step out of the house. The car stopped in front of her. She pulled the door open and saw Itachi in the driver seat with the phone to his ear.
Sakura jumped in next to him and slammed the door behind her. Itachi hit the gas and they were off. "Yes... I'm with her now dad... tell her mom not to go to that house tonight...I know... yeah, thanks dad. Bye."
He turned to sakura and studied her. "Are you ok?" he asked. Sakura was breathing heavily. She managed a nod before she broke down and cried. He parked the car in front of an unfamiliar home. It was huge! Itachi got out and walked to her side of the car.
He opened the door and picked her up bridal style and closed the door. He carried her to the house as if she weighted nothing. The door opened before they got there and a butler eyed them but stayed silent. Sakura continued to cry as he carried her upstairs and into what looked like his room.
He closed the door with his foot and walked to the bed and laid down with her in his lap. Sakura curled into his chest. He started making circles in her back gently whispering to her softy. "It's ok... I'm here." over and over again. The room was dark but she could make him out in the moonlight. She looked into his dark eyes. She couldn't read his expression.
She leaned up to his face and whispered, "Thank you." softly. He looked at her just as she pushed her lips to his slowly. Unsurely she brought her hands up and tangled her fingers in his hair. He pulled her closer to him to deepen the kiss. He ran his hand up and down her small back.
Sakura arched her back as he continued to tickle her back. He smirked against her lips. Sakura felt so right and safe. Was it in the home? The room? No, it was with Itachi. He was her lost part. And... she loved him. Now it was clear that he loved her as well.
