Crimson Blossom Chapter 19: His heart beat, a naruto fanfic

Crimson Blossom

'Last time: 'It was clear that he loved her to...'

A/N: I'm so sorry for the late update!! I have no idea why it took that long to get it here but here you go. Sorry! Please Enjoy!!

Sakura groaned softly as she shifted to a new position. It was still dark outside. Her small hands gripped on to the silky fabric. Her head was on something warm. She opened her eyes and saw plain walls. Then the night before came to her. She turned her head up to see a sleeping Itachi. He looked so peaceful. His eyes were shut and he was breathing heavily. Sakura looked at her hands, she had two handfuls of his silk shirt. Sakura blushed and brought her fingers to her lips.

She laid her head back on his chest. She listened to his heart beat. It was so beautiful like a bird fluttering in the wind.

Thump...

Over and over again. Sakura felt as though she could listen to it for hours, days, months, years, centauries. She felt the heat radiate from his chest. She breathed in his scent. She took a beep breath and exhaled a little loud. "Oops." she whispered and giggled softly. Sakura gasped softly and looked up at Itachi. She blushed and giggled softly again. "Oops." she whispered sheepishly. He looked down at her with beautiful black eyes. He cocked his head slightly to the left.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" Sakura asked softly. He shook his head. He wrapped his long arms around her waist and pulled her closer. Itachi buried his face in her hair. She felt him kiss the top of her head. She laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes again. Sakura would have loved to stay there forever as long as she had him. But of course something had to happen. Her phone went off.

Ring...

She grabbed her phone from the purse she didn't remember bringing in last night! It didn't mater right now. She answered it.

"Hello?"

"Omg! Sakura are you ok?" it was Ino.

"Yeah, Itachi is here with me, he saved me."

"Really? OMG! I'm so going to kill your stupid ex!"

"..."

"Sorry, now did that asshole hurt you?"

"Well my ankle hurts, a little! And well I'm a little shaky sense you brought it back up. Other then that I'm fine."

"Ok... wait! Where are you now?"

"I told you! I'm with Itachi."

"Where!?"

"Him and Sasuke's and most likely their parents house."

"I see... wait shouldn't you be with Sasuke?"

"Sai came after the date. Sasuke had already left... wait! How do you know about this?"

"Your mom called. She asked me if I were going over to your house, and if so then not to cause Sai was there."

"What about the cops?"

"I drove by your house and saw them investigating, Sai is most likely long gone by now either in jail or still free."

Sakura shivered at the thought. Itachi pulled her into his lap. She felt the heat of his chest on her back. His arms lay on her lap around her waist loosely. She leaned back and had her head at the crook of Itachi's neck. He laid his chin on top of her head.

"I'm scared, Ino."

"I know I was freaking out all last night. TenTen has called you twice. She's about to rip the phone away from me! Come on TenTen let me-"

"Sakura! Are you ok?"

I'm fine, really."

"You sure?"

"I'm sure. My batteries are going to die so I have to go, bye!"

Sakura hung up the phone when she received two goodbyes. She laid the phone next to her. She sighed and closed her eyes. "Man, I love them but they have to believe me when I say that I'm fine, gosh." Itachi chuckled softly and played with a strained of Sakura's hair. He swirled it around. Sakura's scalp tickled from the soft motions.

"I like your hair, it's soft and pretty." Itachi murmered softly. Sakura turned around to face him. Her knees were on both sides of his calves. She used his shoulders to hold herself up. "Your hair is more softer and prettier then mine. I love it a lot! If you get a hair cut I will hunt you down, got it!" She threatened. She couldn't keep up the poker face. She began to laugh, Itachi soon joined her. She gave him a sweet kiss on the lips. He kissed back.

Sakura sighed when she broke away. Itachi cocked his head to the side. She looked at him. "I have to go home and see what's left. I'll see you at school." Sakura called as she grabbed her purse and limped slightly out the door down the stairs and out the front door. On her way home she text Ino.

Sakura: can u pick me up?

Ino soon replied.

Ino: Be right over!

When Sakura got to her house she grabbed gym shoes, socks, denim shorts and a light blue tank top. She grabbed her back pack and all her homework and sat on the front porch. She didn't want to be in the house alone longer then need be. Ino pulled up and Sakura got into the front seat almost instantly.

Ino looked at her questioningly."I don't want to be in there alone so can we drop by your house so I can change?" Sakura asked. Ino nodded and drove in the direction of the school. They passed the school and 3 streets down was a mansion that wasn't as big as Itachi and Sasuke's though close. Sakura and Ino went in and when Sakura was done changing they went to the bus stop were the bus came. What a night last night was. She knew all the friends would be asking her about it.

A/N: How was it? Once again sorry! Please rate and review!! Yes I know IRULETHEWORLD! How can I be so mean? Please forgive me!! :(
