Itachi x Sakura

He met her on the side of the road yelling at her car. He thought she was amazing. She thought he was a serial killer.

He couldn't look away.

Itachi Uchiha's red eyes stared at the sight before him; a pink haired girl letting out a stream of curses at a run down station wagon broken down on the side of the road. The visible breath puffed from his mouth as he watched curiously at the young woman.

"Goddamn piece of shit, breaking down in the middle of fucking nowhere!" The girl roared as she kicked the tire of the station wagon. She walked to the front of the car, lifting the front of the car checking for the source of the problem. She growled underneath her breath as she stuck her head close to the engine.

Itachi continued to stare, surprised that the young woman still hadn't realized that he had stopped in the middle of the road. His black hair fell into his eyes and he brushed it away, feeling annoyed that the girl was being blocked from his vision.

"Fuckin' hell!" The pink haired stranger yelled as oil spewed on her ivory skin. She wiped her dirty hands on her dark jeans and attempted wiping away the oil on her face. "Of course," she growled underneath her breath "Of course when I have an interview for a job my piece of shit car breaks down."

Itachi raised his eyebrows at the comment and decided to try to help the amusing girl.

"Pardon." Itachi partly yelled to the young woman causing her to turn around. "Would you like some help?"

The woman eyed him skeptically, "Um, no thanks." Sakura turned back around slightly tense.

Itachi sighed and finally took a step out of his car. "Are you sure?" His velvet voice asked, sounding fully exasperated.

"No, I'm fine." She narrowed her eyes which Itachi noticed were the most beautiful shade of green. "You can go, seriously." She turned her back to him once again and he began walking towards her again.

"You look like you're in quite a predicament." He put a hand on her shoulder but was taken quickly by surprise when he was thrown into the torn up vehicle face first.

"Don't touch me asshole," Sakura growled behind him. "I'm not an idiot, I know about you creepy bastards. You all try to be charming to innocent girls stranded on the side of the road and then, when they're at their most vulnerable you attack." Itachi felt himself being turned around and his back suddenly faced the car. "But I'm an intelligent girl and come prepared for incidents like this." The mystery girl rummaged through her pocket and brought out a taser gun.

Itachi's red eyes widened, "I beg your pardon miss," he murmured "I am not what you call a creepy bastard, I was merely driving and noticed your lack of a working vehicle and was merely offering some assistance." He drawled out and let his heavy eyes gaze into her beautiful viridian ones. "If you would simply release me I will be on my way."

The violent girl gazed back at him and laughed nervously, releasing her hold on him. "I'm sorry." She brushed off dirt from his expensive looking jacket. "I'm just really frustrated and annoyed because I should be at this interview and of course there's no cell phone service." The girl rambled on while Itachi stared at her, drinking every word in.

"Which is why I'd like to offer you a ride," He began "Unless you are still hell bent on the idea that I am a serial killer." He smirked slightly and the green eyed woman blushed slightly.

"I-I guess that'd be okay." She mumbled slightly and looked up at him innocently, "I'm Sakura Haruno by the way." She smiled showing a perfect row of white teeth.

"Itachi Uchiha." The dark haired man smirked once again and lifted her hand up, kissing it gently. "It's a pleasure." He purred slightly and began walking towards his car. "I can either take you to your interview or drop you off at a service station; it's your choice Miss Haruno." He looked at her, eyes smoldering.

"I wouldn't want to impose on you taking me to the interview." Sakura objected resulting in Itachi raising his eyebrows.

"I assure you Miss Sakura," Itachi's smirk widened and leaned his face towards hers, "It will not impose on me at all." His eyes locked with hers, showing her the truth behind that statement.

"Well okay if you don't mind." Sakura smiled once again and began walking towards his expensive Mercedes Benz. She sat on the leather seat and felt herself shudder slightly in delight at the warmth that radiated from the car. Itachi got in the car as well, recognizing the purr of the engine turning on.

"So where are we headed?" Itachi gazed at his sudden interest sitting in the passenger seat.

"Konoha hospital please." Sakura leaned her head back into the headrest and closed her eyes momentarily.

Itachi nodded and the car began to move, driving down the narrow road no cars within sight. "What job are you applying for? Nurse?"

"Doctor actually." The young woman gazed at the handsome male sitting close to her.

"Impressive, I wish you luck." Itachi simply stated, his eyes trained on the road.

"Appreciated," Sakura smiled "May I ask why you're out here at this time of the day?" She cocked her head to the side in question, giving him a close mouthed smile making her look adorable.

Itachi cleared his throat slightly, his heart fluttering slightly. "I have a business meeting close by here." His velvet voice sounding annoyed at the idea of a meeting.

"Oh my god, did I make you late? I'm so sorry! I'm such a pest, if I knew you had somewhere to be I would have-" Sakura's sentence was cut short though when Itachi reached over and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"It is no problem Sakura, I promise you. They will wait." His hand rubbed her shoulder slightly causing Sakura to smile slightly.

"Okay, if you're sure." Sakura shrugged and continued looking out the window.

"We're here." He stated evenly stopped his car outside the large hospital.

"Thank you so much." Sakura gushed and opened the car door stepping out. "I wish I could repay you, do you need gas money?" Sakura opened up her wallet but Itachi stopped her.

"That will not be necessary Sakura." His eyes darkening slightly. "However," He purred his eyes roaming over her petite frame, "You could pay me back by joining me for dinner one night." His smirk taking over his handsome features for what seemed like the tenth time in the past few minutes.

Sakura widened her eyes in surprise at the offer. "Um, sure." She replied blankly.

"Lovely, here is my number. May I impose on you yours as well?"

"Oh um, of course here." Sakura reached into her purse and pulled out a notebook and pen jotting down a few numbers on a sheet of paper. As she was putting the equipment back into her purse Itachi noticed a small can come into his vision.

"Is that pepper spray?" His voice incredulous and eyes widened.

Sakura blushed in embarrassment. "Just in case the taser didn't work." She mumbled and handed him the piece of paper.

Itachi chuckled in amusement. "It's been a pleasure Sakura, I will without a doubt be calling you soon." He raised his passenger window and began driving off.

Sakura watched as the car disappeared from her sight. She looked down at the card smiling slightly.

Uchiha Corporations

I know, I should be updating BMS but I've always wanted to do a short oneshot series and so I decided that I should increase my stress and have two projects to finish instead of one. Plus, this is relieving me from my boredom of being in school.
