A/N: Hello! I hope you guys had an amazing Christmas. Now it's time for the NEW YEAR! :D

Warning: It's a very short chapter... When I say very, i mean, VERY. I'll update in less than a week to make up for it.

It was now the second week of April. The cherry blossoms were now blooming and Yamanaka Ino loved it.

The weather was starting to warm up a bit, and consequently the couple had decided to spend more time outdoors for their last few dates.

A few hours prior, Uchiha Itachi had taken his girlfriend out for an abnormally early dinner, then led her to the park where he surprised Ino by setting up a small picnic of a variety of desserts he knew she would like.

After eating a handful of different sweets, they laid together under the pink trees on a cozy blanket and had both fallen asleep for an unexpected couple hours, very much to their disbelief when they woke up.

Ino sat up, stretching her arms straight up into the air when Itachi wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind and pulled her back down onto the blanket.

Laughing, she grabbed a fistful of cherry blossoms that had fallen to the ground and threw them at Itachi's face, who did not see that coming. They wrestled for a bit, and soon enough Ino was lying on the blanket with Itachi hovering over her, their lips barely touching. Realizing they were in a very public area with many people still out, despite the darkness that had taken over, Itachi removed himself from his position on Ino and sat up next to her.

He looked down at his love, who was still lying down. "Anything you want to do now?"

Ino lifted herself up to join Itachi and gently placed a hand on his cheek.

"Let's go back to my place."

Ino sat at the foot of her bed and slipped her shoes off, throwing them to the side.

Itachi wordlessly stood infront of her and held his hands out, as if expecting something. She placed her hands ontop of his open hands and he pulled her up. When he placed his hands on her hips, she wrapped her arms around his neck, almost as a reflex. Unexpectedly, Itachi started swaying gently side to side, and Ino couldn't help but giggle.

"What are you doing?"

"Dancing."

Ino's eyebrows formed a frown, but her lips were still smiling. "But there's no music."

"Hn."

Ino rested her cheek against his chest as she felt his chin gently graze the top of her blonde head. They stayed like this for a few moments, dancing to their own music.

The kiss started out slow and turned into a passionate deep kiss, holding eachother closer. Ino tugged on the bottom of his shirt, hinting him to take it off, which he did. Their lips met again as she unbuttoned her own shirt and dropped it to the ground. She then kissed down Itachi's neck and started kissing his chest as he removed the elastic from her hair, freeing the blonde waterfall of hair. She climbed back up his body and this time Itachi kissed her everywhere; along her jawline, down her neck, down her chest. He got down on his knees and began kissing her stomach, his hands placed on her hips.

Itachi was slightly confused when Ino suddenly took a step back, out of his arms. He stood up as he watched as she slid out of her skirt, now clad in just her bra and underwear.

Since the last time they slept together prior to being in a relationship, it was the most naked either of them had been. He had an idea of where this was heading.

"Are you sure?"

Ino nodded and took off the rest of her clothes and stood there, looking at Itachi. Following suit, Itachi took off the rest of his clothing as well, his eyes never breaking away from Ino's. Once fully naked he slowly took a step forward, ridding the empty space between their bodies. Ino lightly pressed her palms against his toned chest and leaned her head up, letting Itachi dip his head down to kiss her.

She pulled away, just an inch or two, so her blue orbs could meet his crimson ones. They were filled with not lust, but pure adoration, which Ino had never seen in a man's eyes before.

His lips captured Ino's again, and in one smooth motion, Itachi lifted her lean body up in the traditional bridal style and walked to the bed, their lips still locked.

Together they fell onto the bed, just as they did the first night they were together.

But this time it was different.

It was a night of love. True love.

Nothing else.

A/N: My my, despite the shortness of this chapter it was fairly difficult to write as well... T_T I was originally going to make this chapter a lemon, but then I would have to change the rating of the story, and blah blah blah. Too much of a drag... (how troublesome!) XD

Don't forget to review!

And I would like to wish you all an early Happy New Year! :)

SEE YOU IN 2011!
