Sorry guys for being a few days late but right now I have to focus on school right now I have a week left before my exams start and I have homework after homework to take care of and then there the two weeks it would probably take to do all my exams considering where I live I have 14 subjects that are taught to me since I know that a whole hell of a lot of my fans are probably American are think WoW but that's how it's done here in my country, plus I'm writing a variety of stories at one time like I said I'm helping a friend her work so yeah. Thins might be a little slow for awhile but I'll try okay thank you.

The scalding hot water pelted my skin, I stood still and silent as the water ran through my head. I rubbed my skin red with the wash cloth, trying to clean the feel of his skin on mine. Half an hour passed and I finally decided to stop I exited the shower and wrapped a towel around my body as I exited the bathroom.

I then came upon this sight of Itachi lying on my bed; he and sasuke are more alike than they think.

His eyes were closed but I knew that he was awake; I dropped the towel and dressed myself in underwear all while in his presence.

After I lay beside him I then curled against his side.

"Do you want to talk" I could barely hear his voice.

"Maybe later" I replied in the same octave as him.

"Alright for now just sleep" he wrapped his arms around me then snuggled his face into my neck, I felt so safe.

I must be the unluckiest woman in the world to be falling in love with a dead man.

The trip back was quiet not a word was said other then commands of who got which shift and which resources.

The head of Kaijirou was discarded for the reward of his assignation days ago; it at least made the journey a bit easier.

When they arrived back sakura headed straight for her room leaving the men to figure out which of the two would have to deal which mission reports. Sakura's mood greatly improved as her body hit the familiar feel of her own bed, what she wanted right now was rest. Life for her at the moment was a mess there were too many problems arising at the moment

She wasn't really upset about what she had to do this mission there had been plenty of missions were she had to act like that considering she was the only female in the organization but the death of the sleaze ball club owner made her think of her own issues.

She didn't know what to think or even say about Itachi and his idiot plan of all the man that had to catch my attention in the organization. The first time I met him I was furious at him and what he did to sasuke, I thought it was his entire fault why sasuke had to leave us, team 7.

The pein started to pair me together with him and Kisame I hated it but he grew on me, I couldn't believe how similar he was to his brother back then.

Did this man really massacre his entire family? I denied it in my mind but the truth was tossed in my face after my first encounter with naruto after leaving him and everyone behind.

Flashback

"Alright were done here" Itachi said sealing away the stolen items in a scroll. We made a quick and stealthy exit, or as stealthy as one can with a 7 foot blue man.

We ran through the trees towards the base.

"Do you feel that?" Kisame asked with a grin

"Ninjas, four of them and their coming in fast" I responded and I knew all of those chakra signatures really well.

I always thought of the possibility of running into them on missions, in each scenario I felt the same emotion fear.

"I reckon they came for little cotton candy head here"

"I think we should just leave, fighting them would be a waste of our time"

"Kisame "Itachi said his sharingan activated Sameheda out, No! why won't they listen, they were only a mile away now I had to think, only feet now they were coming in fast, inches.

Oh god what am I going to do?

"SAKURA!" a voice roared I went deathly pale.

There in front of me stood my former blonde teammate Uzimake Naruto .the loud, joyful, ramen loving boy I saw was the most serious that I have ever saw my friend. He whispered it so low that I had barely his voice.

"Why?" my eye widen I knew what of course he was asking, everyone knew what he was talking about.

"I had to"

"no you didn't!, how could you have done that to me and with him, a man with not only his hands stained in blood but his soul as well" I knew what he was saying was true and it hurt

"All of our hands have blood on them naruto were ninjas, it's how our world works"

"Not like his and you know it. How can you stand beside the man who statured his family Sasuke's family? I'm disgusted." Naruto showed a true look of disgust and disappoint on his face I think I felt my heart crack.

He spoke again "Sakura I'm not letting you go, I am going to drag you back to Konoha if I have to"

"That's it enough talk you Konoha ninjas are way too sensitive, it's time to fight" Kisame shouted. He then attacked Yamato as he fell back to avoid his attack. Team 7 and its new members split apart, Sai assisting the battle against Kisame.

I saw Itachi flash step quickly in front of Naruto and performed the fireball jutsu I was used to seeing Sasuke do. Naruto in control of the Kyubi swatted out his arm in the attempt to hit Itachi but was far too quick for that. I stood there as a though came to me, my eyes swept over the scene, one, two, three. Where was Kakashi-sensei?!

A kunai flew past my face right after the thought. If there was one thing Tsunade taught me in the ways of being a medical ninja it was that a medic Nin must learn not to get wounded in battle. I turned to the side from where the kunai was thrown and saw my former sensei

"Of all my students that I thought would betray us; you were at the very bottom of my list"

"Well I guess you misjudged me"

"Don't do this Sakura, don't you see that you're breaking his heart"

"I have my reasons"

"What reasons could you possibly have for frolicking around with these men" he asked

"Good ones" I replied, he lifted his hitai-ate showing off his sharingan, I knew he was serious.
