Chapter 3

Sakura flinched as 'Inner Sakura' started to laughed, I never seen anyone as chicken as you! HAHA! Sakura made a funny face, 'What do you mean by that?' Well for starters…if I was like out of your mind Itachi would be screaming our name by now. Sakura blushed, 'NO! He's a criminal! And he threatened me? How could I like him at all? He wants to hurt Naruto!' Hmmm…about that, stop talking to me or else Itachi will think you've gone crazy.

Sakura tilted her head slightly, 'What?' And then she looked up to see Itachi staring at her with an amused look on his face. Sakura snapped, "What?" Itachi smirked, "Hn." Sakura sighed and then panicked, "You're outside and not even wearing any clothes?!" Sakura pushed him inside her house. Itachi sighed irritably, "I was going to ask you were I could find another pair of clothes…and I'm not naked. I'm wearing a towel."

Sakura shook her head, "What if someone saw you?" Itachi frowned, "No one did. I checked." Sakura sighed in relief. Itachi gave her a small glance, "Why where you blushing?" Sakura began to blush again, "I…I-I uh…." Itachi stared at her. She couldn't help, but stare back…I mean he was still in a thin…very thin towel and wet towel. Not to mention with his hair down and his eyes that where enchanting. They where like a deep dark forbidden pool of onyx.

Itachi tilted his head in confusion, "There…you are doing it again…why do you blush?" Sakura tried not to drool because when he moved towards her his muscles became visible and his well-toned body moved with elegance. Sakura coughed slightly, "I was blushing…in…uh…embarrassment?" Sakura asked move than actually giving a straight answer, but Itachi just looked at her stoically, "Hn."

Sakura perked up, "I'll go get you some clothes now." Itachi shook his head, "Don't even bother." Sakura grew very confused, "Huh?" Just as she questioned him he turned into a black weasel once again. Sakura frowned slightly, "Uh…are you hungry? Want to go out or something?" Itachi nodded his fluffy black head.

Sakura smiled and picked him up, "Let's get some ramen." Itachi wiggled his nose as a jester of saying sure. She walked down Konoha's busy streets; she had a smile upon her lovely face…that was rare for the 'new' Sakura. Sakura ordered two things of ramen and the waitress gladly complied with her order. Soon ramen was in front of Sakura and Itachi.

Itachi made a small whimpering sound; he looked uncomfortable with eating as a weasel. Sakura whispered softly, "What's wrong? You never had a problem at my house while eating." Itachi stared at her giving her a look that said the-food-at-your-house-isn't-hot. Sakura grinned and put some ramen on the table for Itachi to eat after it cooled down.

Itachi gave her a thankful look before he started eating…but then a growl filled the air. Sakura looked down towards the growl…it definitely wasn't Itachi's growl…his was smoother and stronger. Akamaru was on the floor growling intensely at Itachi. Sakura growled, "Stop that Akamaru! Its just Akako!" Kiba ran down the aisle way towards them, "Stop that Akamaru!"

Itachi growled back…his growl rumbled the table and his silky fur started to stand on his back much like a cat's. Sakura picked Itachi up and glared at Akamaru, "No!" Kiba laughed, "I'm sorry Sakura-chan. Usually Akamaru doesn't act like that." Akamaru barked. Itachi glared at him and his growled deepened. Akamaru snorted and barked again.

Itachi jumped out of Sakura's safe arms onto the floor. Kiba was surprised by Akamaru's reaction…Akamaru jumped at Itachi and bit the back of his neck throwing him into the air. Itachi was falling down and Akamaru opened his mouth up wide. Sakura squealed and punched Akamaru in the mouth. Letting Itachi jump onto her arm and run up to her head.

Kiba frowned, "I'm sorry Sakura-chan. I'll get Akamaru out of here. I don't know what's wrong with him. He was just saying that your pet was the devil or something like he was going to kill you." Sakura snarled, "Akako would never hurt me." Kiba looked taken aback, but nodded and pulled Akamaru by his collar and left the building.

Sakura held Itachi in her arms after they finished eating. Sakura smiled and pet him whispering into his ear softly, "We're going to Ino-pig's flower shop. I want her to meet you…maybe not as Itachi…but as Akako. I think she will like you." Akako looked at her with doubt in his eyes. Sakura laughed bitterly, "I'm not leaving you there. You're going to come back home with me. It's just I haven't seen her in awhile and I think it would be nice to see her now."

Itachi nodded and then fell asleep in her arms shortly after. Sakura smiled and sadly whispered into his little black ears, "I think I'm falling in love with you."
