Ohayo! Hows are you's peeps? XD YAAAY! ITS CHAPTER 7! UH HUH! GO 7! UH HUH!
Chapter 7
Love
( This takes place a year later.)
Sakura was spread out across the couch. "booooooon" She said. She was the only person in the base right now. They were all on missions. Even Ryuu had joined and is currently on a mission.
" Baka Itachi..." She growled.
Sakura was giddy with joy. " Yay! So I can go on the mission with you Deidara-san?!" Deidara smiled. " Yup, un!"
She glomped him. " Oh yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" She exclaimed.
Just then Itachi and Ryuu walked in. Her hopes deflated. Itachi and Ryuu were always teaming up against her.
" What do you want?" Sakura huffed.
" You're not going. We talked to Pein and he agrees you're not ready, yet."
Sakura pouted. " I hate you two! JERKS!" She stormed out of the room angrily.
And she'd been sitting here for the whole day. Even Yumiko was gone! Konan said she had "special training" for Yumiko to do. Sakura sighed. " booooooon" She repeated. Sakura had developed a way to calm her nerves by saying boon. She fell in love with the word. It was her stress relief.
She looked down at her necklace and smiled.
" Happy birthday..." Itachi pulled a pink box out from behind his back. Sakura hugged him and took the box. She carefully unwrapped it. There inside the small, fragile box, was a beautiful necklace. It had the Uchiha clan symbol , glittering, and it was attached to a solid gold chain.
Sakura felt like crying. And she did.
" Do you not like it...?" Itachi asked.
Sakura shook her head. " N-no...I love it!" She threw her arms around him. " Thank you Itachi-kun!"
" Hn."
Sakura smiled fondly at the memory. She remembered every gift she got for her 7th birthday. From Konan, she got 20 new medical books Sakura was dying to get, Kisame got her sake, which she gracefully declined and offered it to him. He happily agreed to take the sake back. Sasori got her some beautiful pink kunais and shurikens. The metal was even more beautiful in pink. Pein had gotten her a picture frame that said " Worlds Best Daughter..." Inside she placed a picture of Konan, Pein and herself. Deidara had taken her on a ENTIRE shopping spree.
From Ryuu...she got a golden ring that said forever mine. But of course it was a secret gift. Every one else thought he got her a rose.
Yumiko had also grown much. Konan even said she was almost big enough to ride.
As for her friends in Konoha..she hadn't seen them since that day. Truth be told she often had a repeat of that dream. But each time her expression got angrier and angrier. Like she was going to rip Sasuke in half any second.
She was truly scared but refused to tell anyone about it.
Suddenly footsteps were heard. Sakura's heart beat increased. It was drawing nearer and nearer to where she was seated.
Strong arms wrapped around Sakura. " I missed you.." He purred into her ear.
" I hate you." Sakura spat.
The voice growled.
Sakura smirked and broke the person's hold on her. She sat up and walked away. " See ya at dinner Itachi-kun."
Sakura sighed when she got to her room. Of course Itachi was the first person home. He ALWAYS was. He never gave her a break. Of course she thought his possessiveness was kinda cute...
Sakura blushed. Later on, she could sense more chakras. Everyone was home. The door opened. " Deidara-kun!" She yelled glomping the figure.
" Hey Sakura-chan, un." Deidara chuckled. Sakura grinned into his chest.
" Its dinner time. Lets go." He grabbed her hand and they left the room.
Sakura sat between Deidara and Kisame. As far as she was concerned Itachi and Ryuu were grounded from her. No touching or talking. AT ALL. So she'd already made plans to sleep in Deidara's bed.
Yumiko happily sat under the table and purred. Everyone-besides Itachi- were talking about their missions. Sakura happily joined in.
" Bath time!" Sakura said as she got up and stretched. She walked out of the kitchen and headed for the bathroom.
Sakura sunk into the water so the top was to her nose. She sighed in contentment. It was so relaxing to bathe like this.
She'd often use times like this to pray.
Dear God, please watch over Sasuke-kun and my friends back in Konoha...And here. Please treat Itachi'slifewell. I know he's a good person. He's just...misunderstood sometimes. I love him with all my heart. So please bless him.
Amen.
Sakura emerged from the bathroom wearing pink poofy pajamas. Instead of going to Itachi's room, she headed for her own.
" Hi Deidara-kun.." She slipped under the covers.
" Night, un." Deidara whispered from beside her.
Itachi waited in his room for Sakura. Where is she? She must be done by now. Deidara..
Itachi exited his room and headed for Sakura's. He swiftly opened the door. He glared at the lumps in Deidara's bed. He walked to the bed and slipped Sakura into his arms.
" I-Itachi! Let me go!" Sakura struggled, kicking her legs and arms.
Itachi rolled his eyes and began to walk away. Deidara grabbed Sakura's foot. He was blushing.
Itachi narrowed his eyes. " Let go."
" No, un."
" I said let go.."
" And I said NO, UN! Why should you be the one to claim Sakura?! It's obvious right now she doesn't want to be with you, un! Stop being so damn controlling and let her live her OWN life, un!" Deidara yelled.
Itachi glared. " And what makes you think you have a chance?"
" I don't think that, un..."
" So your lecturing me-"
" Stop it!" Sakura jumped out of Itachi's arms. " Thats it Itachi Uchiha! Your on permanent lockdown from me for a whole week! I'm not yours or ANYBODY'S. GOT IT?!" Sakura yelled before stomping out of the room.
She found herslef at Ryuu's door. She knocked lightly.
A few seconds later, he answered the door. " Hey...Whats wrong?"
" Itachi is a jerk." Sakura huffed before stomping into his room, pouting.
Ryuu chuckled. " You just noticed?"
" He thinks I belong to HIM! GAH! HE'S SOOO CONTROLLING! IF HE LIKES ME WHY DOESN'T HE JUST SAY SO!?" Ryuu's eyes narrowed.
" What would you do if someone confessed to you?"
" Eh..Like who..?"
" Say...me."
" W-what are you saying?"
He leaned closer to her.
" I love you..." He kissed her lips gently.
Sakura's eyes widened. Suprsingly enough she closed her eyes and leaned into the kiss more.
Just then the door opened. Sakura pulled apart from Ryuu. Her mouth agape. She stared at the figure in front of her.
" I-Itachi-kun..?" Itachi slammed the door shut.
Sakura was about to run after Itachi, when Ryuu grabbed her arm. She looked back at him. Her eyes pleading to let her go.
" My mate...I'm leaving tommorrow. And you are to come. I'll get you in the moning."
Sakura's eyes widened again, before he let her go and she stumbled towards the door. She opened it and ran out into the hall.
She found Itachi slouching against the wall. His hair covering his face. She ran to his side and she was kneeling.
" Itachi-kun I-I..."
" Shut up! Why aren't you with your mate?"
" Itachi..."
" WELL?"
" Itachi I don't love Ryuu. It's you I love." She whispered.
Itachi said nothing. But then he spoke. " I cannot return those feelings to you now."
Tears formed in her eyes. " Baka!" She ran down the hallway into the spare room. It had a simple bed and a window. She threw herself on the bed and began to cry.
Itachi did not know how he got in this position.
Sakura was on his shoulders while Sasuke was trying to climb up with her. Sakura's eyes showed curiosity as she pulled his hair. Itachi twitched and got her off his head. He looked at her sparkling green eyes.
Sasuke started giggling so he looked over and saw Sasuke with his favorite stuffed animal. Sasuke raised his arm and smacked Itachi with the pink elephant doll. Itachi's grip on Sakura released and she crawled off his lap and over to Sasuke's side.
His eye twitched more. ' They're mocking me…'
The two toddlers walked off into Sasuke's room. Itachi slowly followed. When he entered the room he tripped over Sasuke's toy train. As he landed he saw a glimpse of pink. Soon Sakura was lying on his back giggling.
The next morning when Itachi awoke he felt he couldn't move. Sakura was still on his chest sleeping. Just then Mikoto walked in. " Morning sleepy head." She said in a playful tone.
Sakura'seyes fluttered open and met with his dark onyx eyes. " Tachi..."She said in the most cutest voice ever.
Itachi smirked. " Good-job."
Sakura smiled and blushed more. " Thank you Itachi-sensei…" Sakura teased.
Itachi poked her forehead. " Now pay attention."
Sakura pouted. " Hai..."
A spark of hope shot through Sakura's body. ' Itachi!'
She felt him lift her up. Her head fell slightly to his chest. "Don't worry..we're leaving."
She felt warmth on her lips. ' Is...Itachi...kissing...me?...' She asked herself before their lips parted.
Hot tears fell down her cheek and she started to sob. She felt Itachi's arms wrap around her waist and pulled her into his chest."Thank you Itachi..." Sakura sniffled. " Hn.." He replied before they both fell asleep.
Sakura blushed and smiled. " A-ano...I heard loud noises." A sweeter version of her already beautiful voice said quietly.
Itachi pecked her lips and smirked. " It was just an argument..Deidara will get you some breakfast." He whispered in her ear.
Sakura blushed more shades of red and tried to fine that right words. " H-Hai..." She managed to choke out as Itachi started to walk away. Everyone watched in silence as Itachi left the kitchen.
Itachi pulled Sakura under the covers. They were curtained by the blanket and their foreheads touched. He wrapped his arm around her possesively. Sakura was really really really...(5,997 more reallys later) red by now.
Sakura smiled into the darkness. The sound of Itachi's breath gave her a funny feeling. Actually...everything about him right now gave her a funny feeling. Especially when he whispered things in her ear.." Sakura-chan.." He purred. Sakura felt like melting.
" Wow.." She said dreamily. Itachi chuckled at Sakura's tone. He continued whispering sweet things to her until she fell asleep completely.
Sakuralooked down. " I saw them. They were with my old Kaa-san."
" Oh.." Itachi's gaze was thoughtful.
Sakura looked him in the eye. " They were looking for me..."
Itachi pecked her lips. " Every things fine.."
Sakura looked down again. " Ok."
" You don't believe me?" Itachi growled.
Sakura sighed. " I do..."
Itachi let her chin go and began to walk away. " After you're bath you're sleeping in my room."
So many memories shot through Sakura's head. Were they all lies? Was everything up til' now worthless? She found herself sinking further and further down into the depths of despair. It went black.
In the morning, for sure, she'd leave with Ryuu. For sure.
Ryuu sneaked into the room Sakura was sleeping in. He shook her gently. Her eyes opened and met his own eyes. She gave a half hearted smile. He lifted her onto his back and started handseals. They dissappeared in a poof of fire.
Konan shook her head in disapproval. " Kisame...The freakin omlet has cheese in it..."
" No it doesn't!"
" Does."
" Does not."
" Does!"
" Does not!"
" DOES!"
" DAMMIT SOMEONE GET ME SOME FREAKIN CHEESE!!" Kisame yelled in anger.
Konan's eye twitched. " Baka..."
Deidara came running into the kitchen. " Sakura and Ryuu are gone, un!" He yelled.
Itachi's eyes narrowed. " Are you sure?"
" Yes, un!"
" How'd...Why'd..?" Konan said sadly.
" Any sign of struggle?" Pein said seriously.
" Well, un...The blanket was burned to a crsip..un.."
It hit Itacchi as hard as a baseball bat.
Itachi was in his very first class to be an Anbu. The first lesson was Ryuus. A tall man stood in front of the class.
" Now...Ryuus are tricksters. They are shape shifters of many things. Mostly humans. Like all dragons..they breathe fire. So beware of the red Ryuu. It is most deadly. The ancient creatures may be tricksters but the can only transform into the age they are. And most of them have red or blue hair. Most of their jutsus are fire based. Oh, and another thing to be waryof..In human form they choose a mate. The most beautiful creature it can find...and...lets just say the Ryuu"mates" with it's mate..."
Itachi's eyes went completely crimson. If Sakura's innocence was stolen by that Ryuu...
" Ryuu is a dragon." Itachi declared.
"So Ryuu actually is..a Ryuu?" Konan gasped.
Itachi merely nodded. " And if we don't save her..."
Konan nodded her head slowly.
" We'll be separated into 3 groups. Trackers, fighters, and escapees."
" Konan and I shall track them with Yumiko...
Deidara and Sasori are to destract Ryuu long enough for Itachi and Kisame to grab her. Got it?"
Everyone nodded. " Dismissed!" Everyone disappeared.
