Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto but of course you know all about it don't you?

Chapter six:

The paper work was officially finished. Neji rubbed his face with his hand. He felt horrible. Like he'd just spent all day doing paper work with a bossy egotist Captain, oh wait! He did. Itachi flicked him on the back of the head and it sent him crashing off the desk to the floor. Stupid Uchiha always knowing what he thought about especially if it was about him.

He rubbed the back of his head and followed his Captain out of his office. It was dark already, Sakura could very well be in bed sleeping right now. Now that was something to look forward to wasn't it? He smiled to himself as he walked along side his captain home. Yes it was home.

Yet when both he and Itachi returned to Sakura's place she wasn't there, hadn't been home at all Itachi confirmed.

" Where is she then?" Neji wondered to himself. He didn't want to stay here and sleep next to Itachi with out Sakura it was already bad enough when she left them in bed together to wake up to. He's been kicked for more then one reason. It wasn't his fault he liked sleeping with his body next to someones.

" There are many places she could be, helping Temari and Shikamaru with the wedding, or doing something for Tsunade-sama or even at the hospital doing a shift, who knows when she'll be home." Itachi said removing his shirt. Neji grumbled at him but tossed his shirt off as well, no use wasting sleep just because Sakura wasn't home, he could sleep with Itachi here as well not as well of course, but he trusted his Captain as his leader and even a friend.

XXXX

Sakura peaked into her room at the two men sleeping there she looked to the Hyuuga with his long brown hair around pale muscled skin, his face relaxed and peaceful. She frowned and looked to the other in her bed. Itachi's black hair was just as long as Neji's and even darker. So dark a black that it made the shadows weep. His skin was a contrast though not as pale as Neji's he was tanned from missions, she couldn't tan very well like Neji thus she had the same light skin tone as the Hyuuga.

Itachi's chest was a little more muscled then Neji's from years of training, hard training at that. His father and clan had never let him rest, she knew that even now so she knew for a fact that they were riding on Itachi's back even now for him to marry and take over the head of the clan, Neji wasn't so pressured as of yet because he was only a cousin to the supposed heir Hinata. Though they both had pressures she should have thought well before of marrying one of them from the start. She would very much like to help Neji as well, but she had promised Mikoto and she was closer to the Uchiha family then the Hyuuga though Neji's uncle liked her, he didn't see her as family like the Uchiha's did. Like Itachi's parents did.

It would be much easier to marry Itachi and make Mikoto's dreams come true and save herself and Itachi at the same time. This would help everyone out it seemed, and she would even be with her teammate whom she felt most comfortable with, and yet. What was this nagging ache in her heart?

Itachi woke at her presence and her eyes focused on him, he sat up his black hair falling over his shoulders, in his face, and down his back, she'd seen him naked, she'd seen him in the bath, she'd had to share a lake, and a hot spring pool with them both, she'd bathed with them on missions, and yet watching his hair fall over his bare chest while his eyes still filled with the haze of sleep pierced though her, while he waited for her in her bed, her heart stopped for a few seconds and her breath went out in a rush, a sigh perhaps.

This is where she belonged with the both of them not just one, so how could she marry Itachi and leave Neji to fend for himself? If Itachi and she were to marry, Neji could not be included, or rather knowing Neji he would not feel comfortable intruding in on a marriage bed. Of course she would lose them both if she didn't marry either of of them, and if she didn't marry someone in Konoha in less then five days she would have to move to Suna to marry Gaara, and as much as she liked Gaara she really couldn't see marrying him.

Though most marriage was for love, she sure didn't mind to marry someone she didn't love, because she loved her family now, Neji and Itachi, Naruto, Sasuke, Sai, Kakashi, Shisui, Tsunade. She loved her family here but she didn't have a romantic sort of love for anyone. What was the point of such? She was a Kunoichi she lived for her village. She didn't want to leave her village, so she had to make a choice quickly or she would.

If she had to marry someone it would be Itachi as a choice for an Uchiha. Shisui she loved to death, but since he made her think clearly she realized her teammate whom she was much closer to, and needed her even more then she needed him, was available she couldn't turn that down and who knew perhaps Itachi would let Neji stay with them regardless?

She crawled into bed after changing into bed clothes which was more or less black shorts and a black tank top. Itachi being awake helped her into the small space Neji and he had left her to sleep in, and since it was such a small space and Neji for some reason loved to sprawl out she ended up against Itachi more so then she wanted to be, though she didn't mind, and it seemed neither did he as he fell back asleep with his arms tight around her.

She breathed in his sent and let his warmth comfort her, she relaxed slowly until she let his warmth and scent lure her to sleep. All her mental worrying would wait until the morning.

XXXX

The morning sadly did not bring pleasant things, instead it brought even more problems it seemed. Sakura jerked awake at the same time Itachi and Neji did as a ninja approached her house, it was Sasuke, he landed on the opened window and didn't seem all that shocked to see the three of them still in bed, and all together. Sakura being as wrapped up in Itachi as she was. Both though had kunai clutched in their hands as a reaction, Neji looked awake as well.

" What seems to be the problem Sasuke?" Itachi asked voice alert as he was but just a little rough from sleep. Sasuke frowned at his brother then looked at Sakura.

" Kakashi and Sai were sent as scouts to secure Sound, it's beginning to rise as a village and it needed to be scouted as it was, they were attacked and are serious condition Sakura we need you at the hospital. Itachi the elders need to see you now as well." The look the brothers shared was bad, Sakura's hand grab onto to Itachi's arm before he even stood to leave. He looked back at her a little surprised.

" Itachi I needed to speak to you, so do not do anything reckless." He frowned at her then smirked slowly.

" Would I ever do anything reckless Sakura?" She smiled softly.

" No, but just in case." He nodded and left with his brother while she transported herself to the hospital Neji following.

The hospital was in chaos and it was hard to find Tsunade in the mess, but she finally did while Neji went to secure the ANBU teams being deployed to no doubt Sound after those who almost killed Kakashi and Sai. Tsunade looked tired and Sakura didn't blame her. When Tsunade saw her the Hokage looked relieved.

" Sakura get in their and get to work!" Sakura nodded.

XXXX

The day started out worse then it ended up being so far. Kakashi would pull through quickly and Sai would as well a bit slower considering he took more damage. A few weeks and they would be as good as new. She made her way to tell Naruto who was forced to wait at the Ichiraku ramen stand since the hospital was in chaos right still. Tsunade however told her to leave for the rest of the day it was fine.

Sakura sat next to Naruto and Sasuke who were both eating ramen together. She sat and ordered food of her own.

" They will both be find healed right up in a few weeks." Naruto let out a huge sigh of relief while Sasuke nodded, not doubting her healing abilities for once.

" Sakura you should go to the compound now, Itachi will need you." Sasuke said as she finished her ramen quicker then Naruto would usually, though using so much chakra was draining after all. She nodded and paid for her ramen and both theirs and was off to the Uchiha compound almost running into Shisui who was running out of said compound. She looked surprised. He looked happy to see her, but none the less freaked out.

" Sakura! We have troubles right now! Itachi has been refusing the elders about marriage for too long, they decided to force him not. They have a bride waiting for him already, the marriage is going to happen now and Itachi is refusing and having a bit of trouble doing it with out killing anyone. Aunt Mikoto doesn't know and neither does Uncle Fugaku. " Sakura nodded, it seemed like her asking Itachi straight out was now null and void it seemed she would have to save him the hard way while making a decision for both of them.

" Lead the way Shisui!" She commanded he kissed her on the mouth in thanks surprising her completely, then he grabbed hold of her and transported them into the grand hall where the 'wedding' would take place supposedly. The only people who were in the room was a beautiful blue haired woman with Uchiha blood and the handful of Elders. Itachi was no doubt being brought in restrained.

" Shisui! What is the meaning of this!" And older woman commanded, no doubt one of the Uchiha elders. He pushed Sakura forward.

" Sakura Haruno what can we do for you? As you can see we are in the middle of something." Another Elder said standing a man this time.

" I can see that, though it is wrong. You are making a mistake." She said and Shisui had to commend her for standing up to the Uchiha Elders and being so calm and collected. Shisui knew he liked her for more then just that sex kitten body.

" Excuse me Haruno-san, but I'm afraid I do not understand what do you think is going on here? This is official Uchiha business." She raised and eye brow.

" An illegal one, you can't force someone to marry someone just because you don't like it." Shisui said placing a hand on her lower back. She glanced at him thankful for the familiar reassuring touch.

" Wait a minute! I'm not going to marry someone who was forced to. You said he would be willing!" The woman said. Brave, Sakura had to give her that.

" Now, now, clam down. He is willing to follow orders and he will do as he is told." Sakura gritted her teeth.

" It's still force." Shisui said. The Third Elder spoke up, their were five in total.

" He gave his word to be married this year and the year is coming to a close and he has no one even chosen." The elder said another man. Only one woman elder as there was.

" The year is not through yet." Itachi said walking in. He wasn't in normal clothing he was no doubt forced into the robes he was now as black as night with the Uchiha crest on them. He looked to Shisui's hand on her back then her eyes. She smiled his way then turned back to the Elders.

" You have two months and no one at all have you brought before the clan as worthy of our name." Sakura snorted.

" Worthy of your name? So the only ones worthy are Uchiha to begin with is that it? Because I am not an Uchiha but I have been brought to the clan and have been excepted by Mikoto Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha personally to marry Itachi." Itachi looked stunned, but recovered. Shisui smiled, but hid it.

" We have heard nothing of this!" The Fourth Elder said outraged.

" Mikoto mentioned a woman, though not that she would marry Itachi, but Shisui." Sakura cursed Mikoto for that little bit.

" That was a joke between Mikoto-san and I." Shisui shook his head smiling. She sure was a smooth liar.

" And you agreed to this Itachi and did not inform us?" He shrugged.

" I did try to tell you but you wouldn't listen to me." She was sure he did say something like that to them and they didn't listen.

" Then this wedding is off and there will be a new one now!" The fifth Elder said and at once Sakura was hustled off and Itachi was left shocked while Shisui looked a little stunned.

" Wait you can't mean to have a wedding here and now!" Shisui said. He hadn't meant this to happen to her. Just for his cousin to get out of this bind.

" Why not? The setting is here, there are many dresses for her to chose from here already, and Itachi is already dressed. If he planned on marrying the girl already then why wait? Or are you both bluffing to get out of this?" Shisui swallowed while Itachi thought of possible things to say and could only find one.

" No this is fine." The Elders looked pleased while Shisui looked at his cousin in shock.

" Do what?" He hissed in a quiet whisper while the Elders turned and spoke to one another.

" There is no way out of this. I knew one way or another I would be married today, and I know that the elders will not let it not happen. I could very well kill them but then where would that leave the clan?" Shisui snorted.

" Most likely in better shape." Itachi smirked, then he frowned.

" Why did you bring her here? I purposely left her behind to leave her out of this. Sakura doesn't want to be married she's been refusing Tsunade as well for years." Shisui panicked for a moment on weather or not tell the truth when he decided to just get it over with.

" Actually she needed someone to marry in six days as it was. The Hokage wanted her on a mission to marry the Kazekage and move to Suna, but gave her an out if she could marry someone in Konoha or at least be taken. Sakura herself chose and Uchiha and came to me, I suggested you and she agreed." Itachi didn't look to happy for some reason.

" She came to you?" Shisui smiled slightly.

" Are you surprised she actually does like me, or more shocked she didn't think of you and the Hyuuga from the start?" Itachi's eye twitched a tick that showed his anger.

" Is there something romantic going on between you and Sakura, cousin?" The cousin was said through clenched teeth. Shisui wanted to tease him but with the Elders watching that wasn't a great idea so he smiled and patted his cousin on the back at the same time Sakura walked gracefully out of the back room in a white dress. She was being escorted by two Uchiha woman who no doubt forced her to put a dress on but even then she walked out like she had thought his through to the end, and knowing her she had.

Shisui's breath went out in a rush of air. God she was beautiful. He cursed himself again for not just accepting her offer of marriage then and left Itachi out of it, curse him for being a nice guy. He felt his cousin tense at his side and glanced over to see his cousin's Sharingan activate. He shook his head. Well at least he made the right choice for his cousins sake. He looked back to Sakura. But god not the right choice for his own sake he would have loved to spend his life being abused by that sexy kitten.

" Sakura Haruno are you ready to continue?" The female Elder asked as she stood again. Sakura nodded softly. The Female Elder turned to Itachi who nodded as well. She motioned for them to the front of the place the elders sat. That was where the marriage would be sealed.

Shisui stayed behind and watched as Sakura and Itachi met in the middle and he took her hand in his while looking into jade eyes. She squeezed his hand and Shisui knew neither of them would back down now. Sakura knew the importance and Itachi knew the risk.

Apparently the elders had thought of everything including rings because when the female Elder made them recite vows and that time came the fifth elder held out two rings on a pillow. Sakura's ring was red and black holding the Uchiha's crest on the inside of the band, while the ruby shone bright like Itachi's eyes. Itachi's ring was black with the Uchiha crest printed on the inside of the band.

Itachi looked nervous as he slid the ring on her finger while she looked calm. Knowing this was coming already and no doubt making her decision before this moment. She put the ring on his finger and Shisui had dreaded this moment as they were told to kiss and Shisui knew it was the first the two would ever have together. Itachi was stiff when he leaned down and Sakura didn't look worried at all she was perfectly relaxed as her lips met his. Itachi slowly relaxed as well and softened into her kiss. She pulled back and looked at the elder who nodded.

" You are now officially husband and wife. Congratulations Sakura Uchiha, we will be watching you." And then the elders left leaving Itachi and Sakura standing in a now empty room with just Shisui. The other woman who was supposed to marry Itachi obviously already gone along with the other Uchiha's who forced this upon them.

" Sakura...I'm sorry I got you into this." She placed her hand over Itachi's mouth. She looked up at him and smiled.

" It's fine Itachi, I was actually going to bring this up anyway, but I'm sure Shisui told you my own troubles." She looked to Shisui who looked away and shrugged as if avoiding her eyes. She shook her head.

" I realize that, but there were other men you could have married then me." She looked up at him with an eye brow raised.

" Are you saying you didn't want to marry me Itachi?" He looked shocked.

" Um no not at all. That is not what I meant." He looked flustered now. Shisui shook his head he loved seeing his cousin happy but hated this tightening in his own chest, but hey he did his good deed for a lifetime. Next time he would dang well be selfish.

" Anyway we should tell Tsunade-sama this first then get to Mikoto and Fugaku and tell them what has happened." Sakura said lacing her hand with his, he felt a jolt go down his spine at her touch.

" I see who wears the pants in this relationship." Shisui teased. Itachi glared at his cousin, as Sakura laughed softly.

" Not at all Shisui, Itachi is my captain as well as my husband now he is my commander as he has always been. I am just helping like a good third and wife would do." Itachi smiled down at her.

" Alright your right. The Hokage first, then my parents." She nodded.

" Then Neji." Itachi tensed and looked down at her and the sudden tone. He frowned as well.

" Yes, and then the Hyuuga." He looked just as stricken. He enjoyed having Neji watch his back, his second in command and teammate. He trusted Sakura and Neji most of all. He trusted Neji to watch Sakura and his back as he slept and he knew Sakura felt the same. Yet now they wouldn't have their third member. His Second in command. She squeezed his hand.

" It will be fine I'm sure." She said hoping it would be as they transported to the Hokage tower. First things first.
