A/A/N: EARLY RELEASE!

Fuckin' Perfect

Sakura stared in disbelief as her supposed boyfriend practically ran down the streets of Nevada with a strained glare on his handsome face and red eyes flaring with rage. She never saw him so determined before. She never saw him so angered and focused at the same time, and she was glad that this was the only time she did see that side of him. She didn't like it. It scared her and her friends as well. Even Tenten and Temari could easily see how dangerous the boy looked as he rampaged through hotel lobbies demanding to know if a certain Uchiha was enlisted there. Naruto even saw how angry he was, and tried everything in his right mind to try to calm his friend. Lee attempted but was shot down with a swift yell. Shikamaru made sure to stay as far away from him as possible, Choji copied his friend's actions and Sai was no longer smiling that annoying smile. The only ones that look unfazed were Shino, Kiba, who was enjoying what he was seeing, and Neji who was standing close to Tenten with an alert gaze ready to attack any Uchiha that dare get too close for comfort. Sakura just stared, wanting to reach out to him, but not wanting to get hurt in one of his fits of fury.

"Damn it all!" Sasuke complained once outside again. It had been the twelfth hotel they had came too and still no sight of Akatsuki or Itachi even showed, and it was only adding on to his already overflowing bottle of anger. "When I find you, Itachi, I'll make sure to exact my revenge once and for all!"

"Maybe you need to calm down, Sasuke." Naruto moaned. He and the others were all sitting with their backs to their outraged friend, each one wearing some type of tiered expression (except Neji, who tensed up upon Sasuke's return). "We've been looking for hours and it's getting late. We should head back to the hotel. Now."

"I never thought I would say this." Shikamaru sighed "but I'm agreeing with the noob for once. We have been at this for a while, and there's no doubt that with the way you're rushing in like that, no one would tell you the truth. So everyone probably lied to you the whole time."

"Yeah." Ino agreed. "You need to calm down. I think a nice dip in the hot tub will calm you down quite a bit. So we should all just go home."

"Sasuke." Sakura cooed when she noticed his anger rising. She touched his arm, only to have her hand swatted away. "Sas-ˮ

"Whatever. I don't care anymore." Sasuke yelled as he walked off. "You idiot's can do whatever you want. I'm going to continue looking with or without you."

They didn't do anything. Most of them didn't want to. They liked the way the tension eased away from them the farther he got from them. Neji finally relaxed, but he still looked annoyed nonetheless. Naruto looked another way with his fist clenched trying to stop himself from chasing after the boy, aside from those two, no one else looked bothered by his leave. Not even Sakura. No, she was bothered by something else. She was more saddened by the fact that he just swatted her hand away like she was an annoying bug of some sort. It made her feel alone, and weak even.

"Come on." Shikamaru sighed. "He's like a wild animal. We can't leave him on the loose like this." He looked after the dark haired boy as he walked somberly along the sidewalks staring up at signs and stopping whenever the name sounded closely similar to that of a hotel's name.

There was a ruff agreement as the others stood up to follow the lazy genius. Sakura stayed behind the longest, being the last to hear what he said, and the first to want to say no. she trudged along after the others, dragging her feet behind Neji and Tenten with a hung head and a dark aura above her sad little figure.

"It's okay Sakura." Tenten comforted her. She looked up at the girl then at Neji as he stared down at her with the softest look his pale eyes could compel for the girl he knew something against. "Sasuke's just in a bad mood right now. You know how he feels for his brother. Don't think of it as your fault, 'cause it isn't."

Beside her, Neji grunted in agreement, letting Sakura calm down around him for that split second, but she still couldn't hide the disappointment she felt. She still couldn't deny that it was pain she was feeling when she played the scene over and over again in her head like a movie stuck on replay. She couldn't deny that she no longer felt important to the person she thought she mattered to. She couldn't deny that she felt insignificant now more than ever, and that she wanted so desperately to run away and cry in a secret place where no one can find her. She couldn't hide it and Tenten and Neji both saw it, but before they could say anything she raised her head and smiled another artificial smile their way. "Thank you, Tenten. You're right. I shouldn't let it get to me. I'm alright now. So don't worry."

"You sure?"

She nodded then looked away from Neji, knowing that he could tell she was lying way better than Tenten, and if she didn't believe it all the way through then he wouldn't believe it the moment he saw that smile.

What am I going to do? She thought as she stared ahead, her eyes were locked on the couple in front of her and she suddenly remembered when they first became so close, when Neji suddenly kissed her at their last get together in Hawaii in front of everyone. She remembered his daring eyes that looked back and forth between Lee and Kiba and Kankuro, wanting them to do something to her now that he claimed her. She remembered the way she squealed alongside Ino and Temari and a blushing Hinata after the act was done, and couldn't help but remember the time she and Sasuke became a thing. It wasn't as daring as Neji's, or surprisingly romantic as Sai's, or as awesome as Shika's, or as fun as Naruto's. It was simple, sweet and to the point. He simply asked her on a date one day. They went to the movies, made out in the dark then officially became a couple afterwards. Easy right? Well now that she thought about it, it was too easy. It was not exciting, there was nothing romantic about it. Compared to the others, it sounded like she was waiting for him and would have said yes even if it was her that had to pay. It made her sound desperate, and she didn't like it. But what was she to do about it.

Maybe he's changed? Maybe he's better now? I should see after this, hopefully he'll be calmer by then.

I was so wrong. Sakura thought as she watched him rage on, still, but in the suite this time, throwing every, if not anything, that was in his way, out of his way, nearly hitting her with every swing. She was lucky her reflexes were good, but I didn't stop her from feeling slightly annoyed with her boyfriend's actions. She knew he didn't like his brother, in fact she knew he absolutely loathed him, but she didn't know he hated him to the point where he went on a full out rampage from jut seeing him outside a café window. It bothered her that he felt his hatred was more important than she or any of his other friends, but she didn't say anything against it. She never really did, or could for that matter and though it annoyed her to a point of no return, she still did nothing against it out of fear of losing him, the man she once would die for back in her younger years.

"This is bull!" Sasuke yelled at the top of his lungs at anyone that happened to be listening which, at that time, was Sakura. "I can't believe he had the audacity to show his revolting face around me after what he did! He nerve of that guy. Who does he think he is?"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence. Maybe, his being here was just as much of an accident as you happening to see him in such an extravagant place like Vegas?" she defended in all hopes of calming him down.

It failed.

"I wasn't talking to you, Sakura." He snapped.

Well I couldn't tell. You're yelling at the top of your lungs to no one. She didn't speak after that. She just sat back and pondered on polite enough excuses to bunk with Tenten for the night, but none came into place, none that fitted the criteria at least.

"And why the hell would it be a coincident, anyhow?" he suddenly added. "Itachi's main purpose in life is bent on ruining mine, therefore mine is vice versa! So there is no way that this was just by chance, that's ludicrous, Sakura."

She stood as he turned and cautiously approached him, wanting to calm him down but not wanting to get hurt in the process. "Sasuke please." She soothed as she touched his arm getting a slight startle from the mini Uchiha, before he slowly pulled off from under her feel. "Sasuke." She cooed, slightly offended from is action. "Sasuke please, just calm down and think f the other possibilities for a moment." She edged closer, going for another feel since his last reaction wasn't as bad as she had expected, but as her hand made contact with him again, his eyes darkened into a horrible blood red color and he threw her off of him making her scream and fall back. She had missed the chairs behind her completely and failed to catch them in an attempt to stop her fall midway, and instead feel right in between them, her hair coming out as a tousled mess as she looked up at the boy that now shot his anger at her.

"Why the hell are you even defending him like that? You act like you know him. You act like you're going out with him instead of me! Well let me tell you something, Sakura…"

The door to their room opened suddenly, revealing a worried group of faces of both girls and boys as he practically screamed the last part. "You know nothing! So stay out of mine!"

A slight gasp danced through the room as Tenten tore her way through the crowd, draping her arms over Sakura's, unconsciously, shaking shoulders and cradling her in her arms with murderous eyes glaring at the enraged Uchiha who would have snapped at her too, if Neji wasn't standing right there in defensive mode, ready to attack the moment he made signs of getting to close.

Sakura hadn't heard anything. She barely felt her friends caring arms even as she laid there crying tears she hadn't known of till Tenten whipped them away. She looked at Sasuke then Tenten and Hinata, who edged her way through as well, then back at Sasuke as he turned his back at her. She felt her heart drop heavily then found herself tearing out of Tenten's arms and running down the empty hallways with puffed up eyes ready to cry to whoever she had in mind, and right then, only one person could come into view.

"Take me to the Vdara Hotel, please." She cried as she climbed into a taxi cab and ignoring the screaming bunch of friends that ran after her, minus one Uchiha. She smiled leisurely at Neji as he was the first to get close to the car before it drove off, and he instantly knew where she was going. Surprisingly enough, he didn't seem to be carrying hate in his eyes as he stared after her. It was more along the lines of understanding, a soft one, but nonetheless, understanding. He then placed a pale finger on his lips and removed it before Tenten and the others got near. She nodded at him in silent agreement then turned refusing to see the faces of the people who didn't understand, but feeling a new type of respect for the Hyuuga she once feared.

Please be home. Please be home. Sakura thought as she ran through the doors of the hotel, heading straight for the elevator and not stopping when security ran after her when one of the clerks recognized her from one of Sasuke's previous rampages. Please be home. Please be home.

She knocked rapidly on the door she now stood in front of, looking around occasionally for the guard that once was chasing her, and wiping away any tear that dared to fall now of all times. She sniffed, wanting them to stop, but not able to actually get it through to her head. For a while, no one came to the door, and she began to panic. Talking out her phone and seeing the time, she panicked again seeing that it was 12 in the morning. A sigh left her mouth and she knocked on the door again, screaming his name this time with every pound.

"Ma'am." A deep voice boomed, stopping Sakura in mid-scream. "Ma'am I'm going to have to ask you to leave the premises. Please come with me."

"No!"Sakura yelled before turning with clouded eyes, screeching at the door, practically clawing it apart as she was forcefully dragged off by the cop that was struggling with the pink head.

"Sakura?" A soothing voice cooed making her look up, along with the cop that was now pink faced with anger. "Sakura, what are you doing here. What's going on?"

"Itachi!" She yelped with her hands outstretched towards the long haired Uchiha.

"Officer" Itachi cooed. "I know this woman. Please refrain from hurting my friends."

The officer simply nodded before letting her go with a soft apology following after she launched herself into Itachi's waiting arms. Tears fell down her face in a smooth rhythm as she stood there glad to be in this dangerous man's arms once again. He could hear his name coming out muffled from her face being buried in his chest as she cried on. Her body began to shake uncontrollably as stood there, wanting to disappear, wanting to go to a better place where anger and hatred couldn't overcome love and care and wanting to go there, strangely with Itachi, the one person she was trusting completely right about now.

"Do you want to go lay down?" He had asked after she finally calmed down.

She didn't look at him. She just shook her head before allowing him to lead her into his room.

"You want to talk about it?" he questioned as he stared with a type of concern that he was glad she couldn't see from under the thick covers. A soft moan left her mouth, sounding dry and uncanny. He guessed that was a no. "You want me to call Konan?"

On this, she pondered. It had been a while since she's seem the other oddly hair colored girl that she dubbed an oxymoron considering how quiet she looked and how loud she was. She shrugged before managing a stifled yes through the covers, figuring that the girl was like a mixture of Tenten, Ino and Hinata, being a good supporter, an amazing, yet different, friend and a good comforter at the same time.

It was quiet on the other end. Sakura had almost believed that he wasn't even going to call the girl and was just going to stare awkwardly at her until she broke and told him everything. That's when a loud and demanding voice echoed right beside her, scaring her slightly, but not enough to jump. "Konan." He said. "Sakura…Yeah she's here a-…okay I'll tell her later…fine." He stopped before sighing and tapping Sakura's head through the covers. "Konan say's hi."

She stifled a giggle and kept listening. "Konan she wants you to come over…yes it is important…She's crying…okay." And with that he hung up.

Sakura just lay there, wondering on what to do know at such an awkward moment, but her thoughts were ended shortly after when she felt the pressure of his hands, rubbing her back soothingly, erasing all her thoughts.

"I can kill him for you." was the only thing Itachi heard coming from his room after a long silence, which he figured was Sakura talking softly so as to not be heard.

He sighed for the 50th time knowing all too well by now that only Sasuke could inflict this much pain on one girl, well him and that Hyuuga but he doesn't seem to understand the meaning of "gently" so he doesn't count. He also knew that he was the only thing that could make that girl cry at a time like this, and he knew, well assumed, that the reason this all happened was because of his little brothers foolishness and hatred towards him.

He probably snapped at her for some unimportant reason. What an idiot.

"What 'cha thinkin' bout over there Itachi. Un." Deidara grinned his way.

"Something deep I presume." Sasori added to the mix. "Because the almighty Itachi Uchiha never sighs. Not like this at least."

Itachi inwardly rolled his eyes before focusing back on his closed bedroom door where the two girls were talking. It had been at least an hour since Konan arrived, dragging Pein, Deidara, Sasori, Kisame, and Tobi along with her. On any normal circumstance, he would have only let the girl in and leave the uninvited guests out in the cold hallway, but for some reason he felt generous. *Shiver*

"What the fuck is taking them so long?"

Hidan came on his own notice to complain about the sound of the blue haired "bitch's" voice, only to find the whole crew practically camping in at Itachi's and get mad about the fact that he wasn't invited. He then called Kakuzu who was camping in at Zetsu's unwilling to pay his own money for his own room and told him to come over. When he arrived, Zetsu came as well, making the party complete.

I only asked for Konan. How the hell did I get the whole Brady bunch in here?

"Sakura chan, are you okay now?" Tobi cooed making several heads pop up in the direction of the door as a pink haired and blue haired girl stared at either all or just one of the many people in the room.

"I'm fine." Sakura managed to squeak.

"Are you sure you don't want us to kill him?" Kisame hissed with a gangly and creepy smile following.

"I'm sure." She answered, knowing all too well that each and every one of them were perfectly capable of taking on and killing Sasuke.

After a while of standing awkwardly as the center of attention, she centered her attention on Itachi and so did everyone else, and before he could say something against it, she stopped him with soft, unwavering and unembarrassed words.

"Can I stay over tonight?"

Well there you have it. Now I'll go ahead and admit that I did indeed have a ton of homework, all my classes are for upperclassmen except for one (History. Meh), so I have homework from either or most every day. The problem was, mine not yours, that I was procrastinating, and that this, my pep's, was the focus of my procrastination. Don't you feel happy 'bout that.
