The door flung open with such a great force that it would have broke away from its hinges if she has used more strength. She looked around but it was empty. Itachi was also surprise but remained his composure.

"Are you willing to leave now?" Itachi narrowed his eyes at her.

Asami continued to look around the room. Her previously distorted face reverted back. "Haha… It seems that I have misunderstood something."

Turning away, she exited the room. Sakura heard her heels clacking getting softer and sighed a relief. Luckily she had heard the commotion outside and hid herself in the closet.

Like what she had thought, living here isn't convenient at all. Especially since Itachi did have a girlfriend.

Sakura opened the closet door slightly and peeked outside. She saw that the door to the room is still open, afraid that she would get caught if she get out so she continued to stay in the closet.

The sudden familiar ringtone made her jumped. "Oh no."

Patting on the area around her thigh, she found the offending object in her pocket. She quickly took it out and silenced it. Now she could only hope that the scary lady is gone.

But luck is never always on her side. She could hear the clacking getting closer. Sakura held her breath unconsciously and braced herself for anything that is about to happen.

The clacking stopped close to the closet. Sakura was afraid that the door of the closet will break off from its hinges this time, but it opened slowly.

Sakura came face to face with a beautiful blonde woman and a tired looking Itachi behind. Not knowing what to do, she could only stare at the blonde.

Itachi then broke the tensed silence by walking towards Sakura and got her off the closet. "As you can see, I already have someone I love. I would appreciate if you can talk to your parents about canceling our engagement."

"Eh?" Sakura wanted to deny but was interrupted by the blonde's laughter.

"You think by getting a brat to pretend as your lover and I would back off?"

"I'll prove it to you then…" She heard Itachi mumbling under his breath before feeling a soft sensation on her lips. Before she could even fully process, it was already gone.

Sakura winced a little when she felt the blonde's glare at her. She started to walked towards her which made Sakura shrink back even more.

"It seems that I have to teach you how to back off from other's property…" She whispered in Sakura's ears which Itachi wasn't aware of before leaving the two of them alone.

She felt her cheeks burning and tried to fight it back down. She glared at Itachi for putting her in a big mess and stealing her first kiss. "That was my first…"

Sakura noticed a tint of red on his cheeks. "Is that so." Clearing his throat loudly he pointed to her phone, "You should probably call back, it might be urgent."

She looked at the screen to see a miss call from her landlord. She was a little surprise as he would normally only contact her when there is something urgent.

She redialed the number and waited for a few seconds before it was picked up.

"Sakura? Thank god you're safe!" She heard relief in his tone.

"What?!" Sakura exclaimed which made Itachi looked at her intriguingly.

Sakura ended the call and asked Itachi for a favour. "Is it okay if you could take me to my apartment right now?"

"Yes, but what happened?"

"I'll tell you on the way." She rushed out of the apartment to the parking lot with Itachi right on her heels.

When they arrived, she was devastated at how burnt down the apartment look. The firemen are still trying to put out the fire and onlookers surrounded the area.

Blinking back her tears, she tried to enter her apartment only to be stopped by Itachi.

"It's too dangerous Sakura." She turn to look at his onyx eyes, tears threatening to fall.

"But the only thing left by my parents are still inside!" She tried to wrench away her hand but his grip is too strong.

She rubbed away the tears that started to stream down her cheeks and watch as her memories of her parents burn away.

After much persuasion, Itachi finally got Sakura to agree to staying at him apartment. At least until she found another place.

The trip back was very tense since Sakura had suddenly lost everything overnight. Deciding that he would cheer her up, he drove them out of the city.

Sakura was so deep in thoughts that she didn't notice that the sceneries has changed from buildings to trees.

When they finally arrived at the destination, it was then that Sakura realised where they were. The sun was already long gone and the moon is high up in the sky. She gave Itachi a look that questioned whether he was lost.

When he got out of the car, she get the reply that it was a 'no'. Sighing a little, she got out of the car after him and was immediately greeted by a cold breeze and sounds of wave crashing.

She shivered at the contact of the cold wind and she found herself looking up at the sky.

"It's beautiful!" She couldn't take her eyes away from the millions of stars shining brightly in the sky. It's as if after looking at the scenery, all her troubles were instantly forgotten.

Instead of the scenery, Itachi was looking at Sakura's side profile. It was as if they were back to being children again, especially how her eyes shined brightly under the moonlight.

When a cold breeze assaulted Sakura again, she realised that Itachi brought her here to cheer her up. Turning to look at him she thanked him, "Thank you… For bringing me here."

She blushed a little when she realised he had been staring at her all along. She broke the eye contact and continued looking at the stars, all while blushing.

After seeing her genuine smile for the first time since eleven years, he was glad that he decided to bring her to the sea.

Taking a little peek at the corner of her eyes, Itachi was looking at the stars now. She smiled at how he look like a child looking at the stars.

She remembered seeing a familiar scene. Thinking back desperately, she suddenly felt a sharp pain. Crying out in pain, she held onto her head hoping that it would subside.

A series of images flash through her head and before she knew it her consciousness was fading away. She heard Itachi calling out faintly before everything went black.

"Sakura, come here." Little Sakura turn around to see a little pretty boy whispering and signalling her to come over.

Sneaking past her parents' and making sure her they doesn't know, she followed him to the window in her room. He jumped down expertly and landed with a soft thud.

Holding out his arm, he encouraged her to jump after him. She look down but it was too high for her to jump down. "I… I can't!"

"It's okay! I will catch you, trust me!" Nodding, she gathered up her courage and jumped down into his arms.

She landed safely in his arms and he patted her head. "Good job." He held onto her hand tightly and pulled her away into the forest.

After walking in the forest for a while, they arrived at a river. There were millions of shiny things on the surface of the river. Sakura looked in awe at how pretty it was. "So pretty..!"

She squeezed the hand that was holding her and pulled him towards the river. She wanted to try touching the shiny things that were in the river.

"W-wait! Sakura!" She heard him protest but continued to run forward anyways. When they were close enough, she jumped into the river along with the pretty boy.

She pouted when she realised that they were just reflections. She heard the boy chuckling and turn to look at him.

He removed the hair that was sticking onto her face and wiped away the remaining water on her face. She finally saw his face, he has onyx eyes and black hair.

"We are going to get scolded."

She realised she was drenched along with the little boy and giggled sheepishly. "Hehe, sorry Itachi-nii."

Xx

Sakura's eyes shot open and she immediately regretted it. The light assaulted her eyes and she covered them with her hands.

Looking from behind her fingers, she found herself in an unfamiliar room. She remembered that her apartment caught on fire and Itachi brought her to the sea to cheer her up. After that, she has no recollection at all.

She recalled what she had seen. Was that a dream? Or was it real..?

She slowly sat up, feeling pain in her head. She heard a knock and Itachi came in. "You're awake… Are you okay?"

She stared at him and noticed that he looked alike to the boy in her dream. "Itachi… nii." She called out unconsciously and realised that his eyes widen a little when she called him that.

"I… had a dream of playing with a little boy that looks a lot like you." Sakura started while she fiddled with her fingers. "But I only know a little where we were playing by a river."

She saw that he looked a little hopeful. "So you remember me now?" He walked to her bed and sat beside her. Sakura gave a slight nod which made his lips quirk upwards.

The growling of her stomach ruined the peaceful atmosphere between them. She blushed and look away while Itachi chuckled.

"I figured you would be hungry and ordered some breakfast."

The word breakfast piqued her interest and she look up at him which made him chuckle again. "Come to the kitchen."

He stood up and walked towards the door with Sakura behind him. When she stepped out of the room, there was a pleasant aroma.

Settling herself on the other side of Itachi, she gaped a little at the amount of food on the table. "Eat up."

"Thanks for the food." She clasp her hands together and started to dig in. She was surprise as how the fluffy egg just melts in her mouth, she closed her eyes to enjoy the taste.

This did not go unnoticed by Itachi, he smirked at how much she is enjoying an egg. He suddenly got a call which made him frown a little as it disturbed the little moment that they are sharing.

When he noticed Sakura looking at him questioningly, he answered his cellphone. "Hello."

"Itachi-san! Please come to the office immediately!" On the other side of the phone is Kou who sounded anxious.

"Alright I'll be right there." He put down the fork that he was holding and stood up from the table. "Will you be able to get to school okay?"

When she nodded, he placed him phone in front of her. "Give me your number, I will text you the passcode of the apartment. I might be late tonight." After giving her the instructions, he headed into his room and changed.

Putting on his tie, he head back into the kitchen. He took the phone from her and touched her forehead with two fingers. "I'll see you later."

Sakura heard the beep of the door and she was now alone. She rubbed her forehead and stare at the empty seat. She was alone again.

Shaking her head to get rid of her thoughts, she quickly finish her breakfast and washed the plates.

She looked at the time and realised if she doesn't start moving, she will be late for school. Running into her room, she hurriedly change into her uniform and left the apartment.

She stood at the school gate to catch her breath. Fixing her hair and adjusting her bag, she sigh in relieved when she wasn't late.

She started to walk into the school when someone called her. "Hey."

She turn around to find Sasuke standing behind her in a hoodie and jeans. She pointed at herself and ask, "Me?"

"Who else if not you?" Sakura already felt like she won't ever get along with him, unless he changes his attitude.

Internally rolling her eyes at him, she asked with a forced smile. "And what do you want from me?"

He opened his mouth but instead of the low and husky voice, it is a high pitched girly voice. "Sakura!"

Peeking behind Sasuke, she saw Ino running towards them. "Ino!" Sakura smiled at the running Ino while Sasuke just seems annoyed.

When she got nearer, she stopped right by Sasuke. "Say, do you want to join us in shopping later after school?"

Sakura was surprised that Ino didn't react to Sasuke but decided to keep her mouth shut. "Oka-" She was interrupted by an extremely annoyed Sasuke.

"I was talking to her." Ino seems to has noticed who it was and started squealing. "Oh my gosh! Sasuke-kun?! I didn't see you here!"

Ino's squealing seemed to have attracted other students' attention and Sakura noticed that he started to panic a little. They made eye contact before Sasuke broke it and left hurriedly.

"Don't you think he's dreamy?" Ino said while staring at the crowd chasing after Sasuke.

"What do you even see in such a rude guy…" Mumbling to herself, she grabbed Ino's arm and pulled her back to class. "We're going to be late Ino, come on."

Xx

Itachi sighed and looked away from the monitor when he felt his eyes burning. He rubbed his eyes with the palm of his hand, and loosen his tie.

He had finally finished everything. There was an error where the new employee has lost some important data on the company.

Itachi has been sitting in his office for the whole day trying to retrieve back the lost data. He has gotten back most of it but there were still some missing.

Looking at the clock, he realised that it is almost midnight. He was so occupied the whole day when he suddenly remembered that he haven't send Sakura the door passcode.

Cursing softly, he picked up his car keys and quickly got to his car and sped home without exceeding the speed limit.

When he got to the apartment building, he entered the lift and pressed the buttons impatiently. When it arrived at the floor, he didn't see any sign of Sakura.

Hastily pressing the passcode, he entered the apartment but it's dark. When Sakura was nowhere to be found, he took out his phone to dial her number.

Xx

Sakura found herself sitting in a restaurant facing the beautiful blonde who is currently gracefully sipping tea.

She came back after shopping with Ino, Tenten and Hinata, and realised she didn't know the passcode to the door and Itachi's number. So she decided to sit right by the door to wait for him.

While she was waiting, the blonde appeared in the lift while looking her nails. They were both surprise to see each other.

"Let me skip to the point. Leave Itachi alone." She set her cup on the table and told her arrogantly.

"Um…"

"Right where are my manners. I'm Asami." She held out her hand with a smile. Sakura took it and introduced herself. "I'm Sakura…"

"As I was saying, I am his fiancée and it would be best if you kept a distance from him. We will be marrying in three months time and I don't want any scandals about you and him." She held up her cup and took another sip.

"That… I can't do what you ask due to some reasons. But after I found the thing I need I will leave." Sakura explained nervously while looking at her straight in her eyes, determined.

"I knew it wouldn't be this easy… So what is it that you want? Money? Fame? Let me tell you, if you think your relationship with Itachi will last you are very wrong. After he got what he wants, he will abandon you. So I suggest you take this money and leave him right away." She took out a cheque from her purse and place it in front of Sakura.

Sakura looked at the cheque which stated ten thousand on it. "Anyways, I will give you three days. Take the money and move out." After she said what she needed to say, she took out another bill and place it on the table before leaving.

Sakura stared at the cheque. With this money, I can pay for my school fees and maybe rent another new apartment. It can last me until I'm able to fully support myself. There might even be enough money to pay off my loan… Should I take it..?

A ringtone broke her away from her thoughts. Shaking to clear her head, she took out her phone. It shows an unknown number, answering it she held it by her ear.

"Hello?"

"Sakura." She recognise the familiar voice.
