Chapter 10: Beach

Ino was bouncing around their small living room in her purple and black bikini, a dark purple towel thrown of her shoulders, and a very large beach bag in her arms. "I can't wait...Choji is going to flip when he see me in my new bikini!" She squealed in excitement. "And just wait until Itachi sees you in- you are not wearing that!"

Sakura was wearing a light, white summer dress, her swimming suit was hidden underneath. "Why not?" She looked down at herself, her hair falling over her shoulder as she did...her hair fell to her hips without a pony tail.

"Because...you can't see any skin!"

"More of the reason I chose to wear it over." Sakura smiled and walked toward the door and slipped on her neon pink flip flops when there was a knock on the door. Sakura stood and opened the door.

"Good afternoon ladies!" Choji said smiling at Sakura then saw Ino, his smile seemed to widen. "Hey Ino!" He said in a low tone walking past Sakura to wrap his arms around Ino, leaned in, and planted a tender kiss on his lips.

It was 3:30 pm.

Sakura gagged. "Get a room!" She said as she walked out of their apartment and to Choji's red pick up truck, she hopped in the back and waited for the love birds.

As Ino left the apartment with Choji, his red trunks clashed with Ino's purple bikini, but they made a cute couple.

"Sakura, you ready?" Choji asked climbing into the driver side as Ino climbed into the passenger side.

"Yep, lets go!" She said excitedly, she held her hair down as they drove.

Soon she could smell the ocean, the truck came to a stop and Sakura jumped out of the back, and saw Naruto in his orange trunks his arm around Hinata's shoulders, she wore a pail purple one piece...she had two of her other friends with her, one was wearing black trunks a black hoodie and sunglasses, and the other was also wearing black trunks and he was playing with his dog.

Neji looked like he wanted to strangle Naruto, he wore a light gray trunks. Tenten jumped on Neji's back she wore a white bikini with red flowers, and one of her friends followed her, he had a bowl cut hair and busy eye brows, she had introduced him a while back...what was his name...? Anyway, he wore green trunks.

Sasuke wore blood red trunks...no surprise there, and Itachi...Her gaze locked on Itachi, he wore black trunks with little red clouds, he was shirtless...he had a six-pack!

Looking up as if he felt eyes on him, his dark eyes connected with emerald, Sakura smiled and waved.

-With Itachi-

He had been waiting with his brother for Sakura to arrive, then he felt eyes bore into his side. He turned and his eyes met bright emerald, she waved at him. He felt his heart quicken, a small smile played on his lips, her smile was adorable.

"Shisui was right, she is hot!" Someone said from behind him, Itachi's lips thined.

-With Sakura-

Some strange man with pail blue skin and black trunks with little red clouds on them walked up behind Itachi and whispered something. Itachi seemed to know the person because and turned and replied.

Sakura walked up behind Itachi, the man in front of him glanced at her, she put her index finger to her lips as if to say 'shhh!'

"So, who's the hotty?" He turned his gaze back to Itachi.

Itachi's jaw clenched. "Her name is Sakura." He growled.

Sakura bit her bottom lip to keep the giggles from escaping, she liked the fact he knew who the other man was referring to her. A light blush crept into her face.

"So, is Sakura single?" He asked smirking.

Itachi's shoulders stiffened. "Kisame," his voice in it self was threatening and she couldn't even see his face. "Stay away from her!"

"I was just wondering." He said. "Is she your girlfriend?"

Itachi was quiet, his hands were balled into fists, shoulders stiff, jaw clenched, he looked like he was going to kill the tall, pail blue, man Kisame. She had her fun and decided to save the big man from Itachi's wrath.

"Is who who's girlfriend?" Sakura asked walking around so she was standing beside both the men.

Itachi relaxed slightly. "Kisame this is Sakura, Sakura Kisame, a very close friend of mine." He said, ignore the question she had just asked.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Kisame said shaking her hand gently.

"Same here." Sakura smiled.

"Sakura, come dance with us!" Ino yelled listening to 'Show Me The Money' on the extra large speakers Shikamaru had in the trunk of his car.

"No!" She shouted back.

"I've seen your dance routine to this song Sakura...Show us, NOW!"

"I'd like to see you dance." Kisame said smiling, looking from Ino back to Sakura.

Sakura looked to Itachi for some sort of back up, he raised his hands in surrender and backed two steps away.

Sakura rolled her eyes and walked towards Ino mumbling 'I hate all of you.'

She waited for Ino to start it over, she spread her legs and looked to the ground. When the music started she moved.

(A/N) Go to Youtube and look up 'Korean girls hip hop ( Winners_Girls )' That's the dance Sakura is doing.

After about a minute she bowed and walked toward the ocean ignoring Ino yelling at her to keep going and everyone's eyes on her retreating form.

-With Itachi-

He watched as she walked down the beach a little ways then sat on the beach close enough to the water that with every incoming tide, the water touched her delicate, little feet.

"Is she okay?" Kisame asked Ino.

"Both her parents died a few years ago, tomorrow...how do you think she is?" Ino asked going back to dancing with Choji.

Itachi slowly made his way to where Sakura sat and slowly sat down beside her. "Are you okay?" He asked gently.

Sakura nodded. "I was just thinking." She said with a sad smile.

"Thinking about what?"

"About how everything can go from absolutely perfect one minute, to absolute hell the next."

Itachi though over her words for a minute. "Is being with me, hell?"

She looked over at him a glimmer of amusement shown in her eyes. "You have made this week much more tolerable." She smiled then laid her head on his shoulder, watching the ocean.

-With Sakura-

She could feel Itachi stiffen as she laid her head on his shoulder, then he slowly relaxed and tentatively wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

-With Itachi-

He wrapped his arm around her slim shoulders, he felt her sigh and cuddle into his side. Heat rushed through his entire body, the weight of her body, which wasn't a lot, leaning up against his own. A tingle ran up his spine as Sakura wrapped her arms around his waist.

On a whim Itachi threw himself backward, pulling Sakura with him.

-With Sakura-

Sakura laughed into his chest, looking up into his eyes and couldn't help but smile, to her delight Itachi was smiling down at her.

-With Kisame-

He had watched Itachi the whole time and now he couldn't believe his eyes...the cold hearted Itachi Uchiha was getting cozy in the sand with a certain, pink haired, young women. She was smiling up at him and Kisame was pretty sure he was smiling down at her.

This little girl has manege to do the impossible...melt the ice cube known as Itachi Uchiha!
