Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto (I wish I did I would be like RICH!)
A/N: Okay just like I said on all my other fanfictions I am sorry for the late updates. Plus I feel horrible cause I have been spelling Sasuke wrong this whole time. Thank you Dying Passion for that. X). oh and to Torrus for the info on Vegas.
=Boyfriend Number 2=
Sakura stared at the group of people walking in front of her. She never once thought that she would have to lie to her friends the way she just did. She never thought that she would have to lie to Ino, Tenten, Temari or Sasuke and the others as much as she did; Sasuke especially.
"You just better be lucky that it was an old woman that found you instead of a creep. I heard that there were a lot of those around here, and I thought that it was bad in Japan."
"Hehe." She laughed nervously at Sasuke's dry joke. I'm surprised they bought that. Sometimes I wonder about my friends.
She sighed softly and continued fallowing Sasuke around town. They had separated from the rest of the group after Sakura woke up from her nap because Sasuke wanted to take her somewhere "special" without having the two idiots interrupting them. -(1)-
"So where are we going again, Sasuke?" Sakura questioned
"It's a secret. If I had a blindfold and we were back in Japan I would use it, but we're not and I don't know my way around here that well."
"Oh." She giggled as she looked around watching the confused faces staring at her and Sasuke. Many pointed at their heads, others grabbed their hair then watched them walk by in awe making her feel uncomfortable.
"Can we get there quickly." She begged. "I don't like being stared at by these people."
"Why. I don't mind."
"…okay then."
Sakura sighed again. She stared at her hand then his wanting to grab it, but not having the courage to do so yet. She wondered why he didn't walk with her hand in his on a normal basis when they were together. Itachi would. She thought with a blush on her face. Itachi wouldn't even let go of my hand if I told him to. He wouldn't even be that far up ahead of me, he'd be right beside me the whole time, pulling me along, roughly, but at least he would take the time to hold on.
She looked up at the back of Sasuke's head then smiled a guilty smile before shaking it off. But I'm with Sasuke. He's my boyfriend and I'm not a whore…plus, Itachi and I are not a couple. We never were. It was only a onetime thing. He's probably already forgotten that I was ever even in the same state as him by now.
Sakura looked at Sasuke's hand then hers and blushed again before slowly reaching out.
"There it is." Sasuke suddenly yelped pointing with the hand Sakura was reaching for.
She sighed for the hundredth time then looked up. "Is that a super market? Why are we going to a super market?" she asked blandly.
"No, no, Sakura, look behind it."
She did. Behind the small market was an even smaller house looking building named Luv It with an exceedingly long line going into the street beside it. What the hell is that? She thought.
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a custard shop. Me and the guys passed by it on the way to the hotel when we got there, and I thought it would be a good place for us to go. Like for the beginning of our date."
"But there's a long line." She pouted with a slight since of delirious.
"I heard it's worth the wait, and the lines are moving pretty fast."
"Fine!" She gave in and walked to behind Sasuke quietly once again having to ignore the stares they were getting.
She stared desperately at his hand then hers then back at his once again. No blush showed this time. Just a determined face as she reached for it quicker than the last time…then his phone rang.
"Hello?" Sasuke answered with the hand she was reaching for again making Sakura stare in disbelief.
Whoever that is deserves to be labeled a bastard. She thought.
"What do you want Naruto?"
Yep. He's defiantly a bastard. She sighed again then leaned against what she thought was a pole.
"Um, excuse you!" A loud voice growled making her look up. The man that stared back down at her looked Asian himself so she smiled a shy smile then stepped back.
"I am so sorry sir."
"What?" The man questioned. "Speak English, fool!"
"O-oh, I-ˮ
"Stupid good for nothing…you know its people like you that give a bad name to us New Yorkers."
"I-ˮ
"Speak up girl!"
Sakura blushed. More eyes were on her now more than ever before, some were laughing, some whispering racial terms and others just staring as if it wasn't weird. She turned to Sasuke but he wasn't listening let alone taking notice that she was being verbally attacked. The whole time he was arguing back and forth on the phone with Naruto. She tried at his hand again, this time successfully grabbing it only to have him shake it off when he threw it up in an annoyed gesture. Her heart dropped as she watched him then turned back to the angry man and curious crowd.
"Well. I'm waiting." The man jeered.
"I-I'm sorry." She apologized.
"It's about time!" He laughed loudly. "And would you look at that! She could speak English this whole time. What a nuisance."
Sakura flinched then stood up straight. She could feel tears run down her cheeks as the people around began laughing hysterically along with the man. She looked back at Sasuke who was still arguing with Naruto over the phone, frowned then ran off crying.
"Whatever, Naruto…" Sasuke yelled. "Whatever…Shut up you noob and get off the phone I'm still on my date with…Sakura…" he looked around. "Sakura?"
"If it's that pink haired chick you're looking for, ˮ a loud man bellowed. "Then she ran off just now."
Sasuke looking in the way he pointed then smiled after seeing the pink dot standing alone on a nearby bus corner. "Thank you, sir."
"You're welcome, and good luck." He jeered. "You'll need it."
Saskue just stared at him before running off after Sakura.
"Teenagers." The man complained. "I hate them." -(2)-
Itachi gripped the arm of his chair as he stared at the commotion going on in front of him. He seemed angry as he stared at the man yelling at the small pink haired girl, and watched the dark haired boy just ignore the whole thing, but his anger really peaked when he heard the man speak afterwards.
"What a jerk. Un. Ne, Sasori?"
"Hn."
"If I were her I would cuss his fucking ass out. She has lost her points with me."
"So," Konan began. "How do you feel now, Itachi?"
He just looked at her then back at the man, rage burning in his dark eyes. "What are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about." Konan began. "If that were you in Sasuke's face then this whole thing would have been solved in a matter of seconds and Sakura wouldn't have been embarrassed like that."
"But that's not me."
"Yes but you could make it you. All you have to do is go over there and beat him to her. She will defiantly pick you over him."
"Just give it a rest, Konan. Sakura and I will never be a couple no matter how bad you want it to happen."
"It's not what I want Itachi, it's what you want."
"Whatever." Itachi complained. He walked out of the line towards the man, his custard in hand and a happy look on his face. Itachi stared at him then grabbed the cone, squeezed the custard out and threw the rest on the ground leaving the man confused and angered.
"Sorry." He growled. "I'm a teenager I don't know any better."
"What?"The man began to shake uncontrollably.
"It's people like you that make us teenagers 'hate-able' in the first place you filthy piece of shit."
He walked off. Konan and the others laughed behind him as they followed.
"Are you sure you don't like her, Itachi?" Sasori questioned, but Itachi didn't answer. He was looking ahead of him at the pink dot twirling about the crowd avoiding the black dot purposely. He felt his heart fall little by little the closer she allowed him to get. He could tell how angry he was but he did nothing to stop himself.
Do I like her? He thought. That's when he caught her. He grabbed her by the arm and forced her to look at him, he could see the anger in her eyes by now, but he still didn't do anything. He felt like pulling her away from him but he couldn't, he wouldn't. He had a reputation to keep and he wasn't about to let some pesky child ruin that for him.
Still…. He thought. Do I like her?
"Sakura please. I-ˮ
"Shut up, Sasuke. Go crawl under a rock or something."
"Sakura-ˮ
"I don't want anything to do with you anymore. I can't believe you just stood by and let that happen. You know I-ˮ she caught herself then took a deep breath before continuing. "Lee or Naruto wouldn't have allowed that to happen. They would have stopped whatever it was they were doing to help me. They would have held onto my hand through the New York crowd the whole while without even thinking about it. They would have defended me when that man was attacking me!" -(3)-
"Sakura I'm sorry. I didn't know."
"How? He was right there. You even jerked your hand away from me when I grabbed it for help! What kind of boyfriend are you Sasuke?"
"Sakura-ˮ
"Everyone listen up. My boyfriend ignores me 24/7! Especially when big scary men attack me!"
"Sakura, please, people are starting to stare."
"They were staring when I was being yelled at over something so trivial as well, Sasuke!"
"Sakura!" He yelled grabbing her arm and pulling her closer. "Shh."
She cried slightly then calmed down, but she wasn't listening to him. Her mind was elsewhere in faraway places where everything there was to her liking, where people would be there to protect her from something like that man, someone like Itachi.
I wonder how he is. She thought. I really miss him right now. Even though he was ruthless, he was fun to be around. If not him then the others like Konan and Deidara and Sasori and Pain…I wonder where they are?
"Besides it's getting late." Saskue's voice suddenly broke in. "Let's start heading home."
"…Okay." She whined as she walked behind him still hand-in-hand-less. She pulled out her phone and looked at the time; it was 8:27. She sighed then continued to walk behind him. Itachi's voice popped up in the back of her head. The perfect thought at the time: "…I'm pretty sure he hates me more then he loves you." That's just perfect. Itachi you idiot. Why couldn't you be wrong about this?
"There you guys are!" Naruto's loud voice bellowed. Sakura and Sasuke had just walked into the hotel when they were greeted by the obnoxious boy. "We were all going to the indoor pool here and play Dare or Dare." He laughed.
"Isn't that an old game?" Sasuke surprisingly laughed back.
"Yeah but we thought it would be fun to play it since it's such an old game."
"Alright I'm in." Sasuke said.
"What about you, Sakura?"
She looked up blankly then smiled a fake smile. "No thank you. I have something else I need to attend to."
"Oh. Well okay, maybe next time."
"Yeah. Um, Sasuke can I speak with you for a bit."
"…Sure."
They walked off, his hand in hers but because she grabbed it by force and refused to let go.
"Is something wrong, Sakura?" He questioned. "If it's about the date today then I can make it up tomorrow." He smiled.
"Can't you make it up…today…" -(4)-
"…Oh!" he nearly yelled. "Well…today…I mean it's not that I don't want to because I really want to it's just that-ˮ
"You already agreed with playing with Naruto."
He smiled. Sakura could only nod in agreement and allow him to kiss her on the cheek then run off behind the blonde.
It's like he loves Naruto more than me? -(5)-
She frowned a little then looked at the elevator, then at the hotel lobby, then smiled and left.
Itachi sat quietly in the dark of his room contemplating on what it was he was felling whenever Sakura came into mind. Every time he thought of her, his heart would jump a little, not enough to say that he fully like her, but just enough to make him think about it, and it annoyed him. He hated having his mind occupied. That meant that he actually had feelings still, and that was something he was known for not having.
He sighed then buried his face in his hands. Sakura. He thought. What have you done to me? Why am I thinking of someone like you, and…are you okay?
A small knock came at his door, making him jump out of his chair. His heart raced as he danced around the tables and chairs trying to get to the door, getting his hopes up for things he believed would never happen again, for someone he never had another chance of seeing.
He opened the door.
"Hey," A soft voice came. "Itachi."
"Sakura?" he nearly yelled. "What are you doing here?"
"Well," she stepped past him into the now clean room then turned after hearing the door close. "I just realized that yesterday, when I left from here, I left in the dress Konan gave me and I forgot all about my original outfit so…I came to get it back."
"Oh." Itachi pouted.
"Plus," she added catching his attention. "I came to…to check on you. Since the last time I left here it was all types of messy and I just figured that you'd need someone, you know…helpful…around to help clean…up."
He almost smiled at her. He almost gave in right then and there after hearing that comment. He almost broke character in front of the very thing that was causing the cracks in his character mask to begin with.
"Well," he began. "As you can see, I have cleaned up, and your clothes are over there on that couch folded, may I add."
"That's very kind of you." she smiled, stepping closer to him with every word.
"Sakura." Itachi moaned. "Why are you really here?"
She stared at him, unsure on if she should answer him or not. Eventually she blinked then smiled a genuine smile. "He doesn't want to touch me." She began. "I know I sound like a whore, but I practically gave it to him, even after that horrible date and he still-"
She stopped when her lips touched Itachi's. Her eyes closed delicately as her hands slid up the back of his neck. She felt his hand dig at her thighs and she gladly lifted them to his pleasure. A smooth grown escaped her mouth as they both parted breathing heavily for air.
"So I take it that you understand where I'm going with this."
He kissed her again, biting her bottom lip slightly and getting a strained hiss from her as a reaction. "Do I need to say more?" he chuckled, hiding the delight in his eyes and the, out of character, smile on his face in the dark of his room.
"No." Sakura giggled. Her smile grew wider the closer they got to that familiar path to his room and the farther they got from that door that lead home. She knew what she was doing was wrong, but when she was with Sasuke she felt alone and unimportant, but not with Itachi she didn't. No, with him, that was a different story.
