Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Naruto or else Sakura would have acted like a ninja every chance she got. Damn it! I WANT TO SEE SASUKE AND SAKURA FIGHT! PLEASE KISHIMOTO! Let Sakura throw in a couple charka filled punches, deadly kicks, etc. I just want Sasuke to get his ass whooped for once. I also don't own the lovely story of Hana no Akuma which belongs to Hisamu Oto.

Sakura no Akuma

"Haku! Haku!" Sakura called out.

"What is it?" Haku asked as he finished refilling his watering pot.

"Let's have a tea party today!" Sakura grinned.

"Sure, right after I finish this." Haku agreed. He was watering the plants inside the house when he heard something break behind him. He saw a black portal appear. "Sakura, go wake up Itachi and tell him we have guest." Sakura nodded as she ran to Itachi's room which was on the other side of the castle.

"Finally made it to Itachi's house!" A voice said. Haku's chocolate orbs widened with surprised.

"Y-You're-"Haku began to say.

"Do I know you?" the guest asked.

"It's me!" Haku smiled. "Haku!"

"Haku? Whoa! You sure did change over the years!" the guest laughed. "You look like a girl!"

Haku frowned. "What are you doing here?"

"Came to visit a spoiled brat!" The guest smirked.

"I'll lead you there!"

XxXxXxXxX

"Itachi! Itachi!" Sakura called out as she opened the door to the room. The mighty demon was shirtless and on his stomach as he could feel the pink haired princess of the castle climb on the bed.

"Don't you ever knock when you enter?" Itachi muttered.

"You don't do it when you enter my room!" Sakura said back. Itachi closed his eyes as he tightened his hold on the pillow.

"It's fine for me because I'm great. Don't sit on me!" Itachi said as he felt pressure on his legs.

"But…"

"Look, I just fell asleep. Demons hate afternoons. Afternoon is like night-time for us. So what do you want?" Itachi asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"We have a guest!" Sakura smiled. "Haku said so himself!"

"A guest?" Itachi questioned. After kicking Sakura out of the room and changing, he walked into the living room to see just who this guest was.

"Kisame…" Itachi said a bit annoyed.

"Hey Itachi!" Kisame grinned at him. "Has it been 50 years since we last saw each other? You look gloomy as ever!" Kisame watched as Itachi landed on the couch and closed his eyes. "You do this when an old friend goes through the trouble of coming to play?"

Itachi scoffed. "I don't remember being friends with you. Go home."

Kisame soon took noticed of the pink thing behind the couch. Kisame's eyes widened as did Sakura's. "What is this?" Kisame asked as he picked Sakura up by the back collar of her dress. Sakura's feet were dangling in the air. Kisame really was tall; he was probably past six feet. "I see. So you're the brat living with Itachi. "Nice to meet you, girl! I'm Kisame, Itachi's best friend."

"Just an acquaintance…" Itachi commented.

Kisame ignored Itachi's comment as he set Sakura down. "What's your name?"

"S-Sakura…" Sakura introduced herself as she stuck her hand out.

"Don't shake his hand." Itachi warned her. "I don't want you to catch his stupidity. Now go run away and go there." Itachi pointed to the kitchen.

"Okay" Sakura said as she did what she was instructed to do.

"Ooh, that hurts." Kisame said patting his heart. "You know, there have been rumors about you in the demon world. The great demon, Itachi, has taken off from hell and living on the surface. To make matters worse, you're raising a human child! Even the elders are angry." Sakura couldn't hear since she was too far from the two. To be honest, Kisame scared the crap out of her. He reminded her of a shark.

"I see. So they sent you hear to take me back?" Itachi assumed.

"Yup, that and, *quickly return the human child and return* was the command." Kisame said whispered the last part. "I was asked to come here because you and I are best friends."

"Who said we were best friends. If you're done visiting, then go home!" Itachi said as he moved Kisame away from him with his hand. Itachi looked to his right to see Sakura staring at him worriedly.

"I'm going out." Itachi said as he left the room. He came back an hour before nine as he went to take a seat next to his window. His guest was going to arrive soon. Looking outside the window, he saw the full moon as he was soon sucked into deep thoughts.

That reminds me. When I left hell, everyone around me was making a fuss.

"Itachi-sama! Where are you going?" King Sarutobi of the demon world asked. It was a full moon as Itachi sat down next to the open window.

"To the surface…" Itachi said as if talking to a child. Haku was sadly tied up on the floor with his mouth taped.

"T-to the human world?! What kind of business are you…" Itachi's mother asked.

"No business really." Itachi said calmly as he was putting on his gloves.

People in hell tried to flatter me into staying.

"Please wait!"My father said as he stepped up. "You are a demon of high standing; you bear the future of the demon world."

"Hn…" Itachi said. "Give that position to Sasuke. It's too formal and boring. I've had enough. I'm not interested in that." With that said, Itachi took off with Haku dragged behind him.

But, from the beginning, I was already detached from everything.

So, I got tired of the quiet lifestyle on the surface after a year. That's when I picked up Sakura.

I didn't understand kids so I summoned maids from the demon world.

"When people say smile like a flower, they must mean something like this." The main maid said to the other maids as she held the infant Sakura in her arms.

Yes, she was just something to pass the time…

Then several years later….

Itachi was walking around the castle as he heard footsteps behind him. Looking back, he saw the now toddler Sakura looking at him, smiling with all her child innocence.

"Hn…" He said as he began to walk away. He heard Sakura following him like a little duckling.

Sakura didn't try to flatter me or ingratiate herself to me.

She just kept close to me, smiling stupidly.

Itachi jumped a bit when he heard the girl behind him fall. He looked back as he saw her slowly get up. Surprisingly, she didn't cry. Instead, she smiled.

The moment I saw her smile after she fell, there was only one thing I thought that moment…

"Is she retarded?" Itachi asked himself. Pissed off for some reason, he carried the brat with his cane as he handed the human child to Haku. "Make her study the things you study!"

But, no matter how cultured she became….

"Itachi!" A fourteen year old Sakura called out. "Here's a flower for you!"

She remained as always, kept close to me, smiling stupidly…

Itachi watched as the rose Sakura gave him withered away into nothing.

Because I've never had anyone smile so innocently for me-

Itachi was pulled out of his thoughts as he heard knocking on the door.

"Itachi-sama, I've brought her here." Haku called out from the other side of the door.

"Hn…" Itachi said.

XxXxXxXxX

Sakura walked towards Itachi's room with her lavender pillow as she saw Haku closing the door behind him.

"Ah, Haku!" Sakura said.

"Oh, Sakura-sama. What is it?" Haku asked.

"I was planning on sleeping with Itachi tonight." Sakura said innocently.

"I'm sorry Sakura." Haku said patting her head. "Itachi-sama is currently having his dessert so…"

"Dessert?" Sakura questioned. Then she understood what Haku was talking about.

"Are you talking about that lady that he takes blood from? I met her once. I forgot her name though!" Sakura said as she went to open the door.

"Wait! Sakura-sama!" Haku said blushing.

It was too late as Sakura opened the door and took in the scene in front of her. There sat Itachi on the edge of the bed sinking his teeth into the neck of a blond haired beauty. The girl sat on top of Itachi's lap, facing him as she rolled her head back to give Itachi more access to her neck. Sakura felt a funny feeling enter her heart as she felt her stomach drop and her blood turn cold. The two people in front of her looked so intimate with each other. Itachi's right hand was on the girl's waist as he held her blond locks with his other hand. The girl grabbed onto his shoulders as she moaned.

Itachi soon noticed Sakura standing in front of the door. Removing his fangs from the girl's neck, he looked calmly at Sakura while he wiped the blood from his chin with the back of his hand. Slowly, he moved the girl from his lap and walked up to Sakura.

"Didn't I tell you to always knock before entering my room?" Itachi asked. Sakura blushed as she saw the girl look at her with her sky blue eyes. The girl seemed to be her age.

"What…" Sakura said; her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "What were you doing?"

"Demons feed on human blood. I thought you knew that already." Itachi said poking her forehead.

"Then my blood would be enough for you!" Sakura said as she pouted.

"Sakura…" Itachi began to say.

"Who is that girl? You won't even let me touch you!" Sakura cried.

"Of course, I can't drink your blood!" Itachi replied.

"Oh, but you can drink hers? I'm human too!" Sakura cried. "And she gets to touch you…like that, you pervert."

"Sakura, if there's nothing else, then go back to your room!" Itachi said.

"But I don't want to go!" Sakura reached out for Itachi's hand and was surprised when he spurned her by slapping her hand away.

"Don't touch me!" Itachi snapped. Sakura's eyes widened with hurt. An emotion Itachi had never seen in her eyes. It hurt knowing that he was the one who caused it. He watched as Sakura's eyes began to water then ran away.

"S-Sakura-sama!" Haku called out as he chased after her. Itachi watched as long pink hair turned the corner.

"I'm monstrous…" He whispered.

You who smiles like a flower…

If I were to touch you,

Wouldn't you crumble like a flower?

"I-I think I should go Itachi-sama…" The blond haired girl said to him as she fixed her kimono.

"Hn…" Itachi said as he watched her leave the room. Before she left, he called out to her. "Ino…"

Ino looked back to see him frowning. "I don't think it will be a good idea to come here for a while. I'll call you again when you are needed." He said.

An image of the pink haired girl she saw earlier entered her mind. "I see. Well, you know how to contact me." With that said, Ino took her leave.

Itachi sighed as he moved some of his bangs back. Sakura's hurt expression hit him hard. He knew in his heart that losing Sakura was unbearably frightening. Maybe going out for a walk would clear his mind.

XxXxXxXxX

Stupid Itachi! Sakura had lost Haku in her run as she ended up near the front doors. Hearing footsteps, Sakura looked ahead to see the girl from earlier heading towards her.

"Sakura, was it?" Ino asked. Sakura couldn't look at the girl in the eyes, but nodded anyways.

"I'm Ino Yamanaka. I'm sorry about what you saw earlier. It must have been…unpleasant for you." Ino flashed smile towards her. "Well, I wish you good night. I will be taking my leave now."

Sakura just nodded as she felt Ino walk past her. Her hands turned into fists as she walked to her room and slammed the door. Sakura jumped on her bed and began to cry for the rest of the night.

Kisame came to visit the next day as he saw Sakura lying down on the couch. He frowned when he noticed Sakura's eyes were puffy and red.

"Hey Pinky! Your eyes are red." Kisame said taking a seat on the couch.

"Thanks for stating the obvious, fish boy…" Sakura grumbled.

"What's wrong, kiddo?" Kisame asked, being serious now.

Sakura didn't say anything as she tried to keep her tears in check. Kisame just smirked as he put a hand on her shoulder. It was time to put his plan into action. "Let's go out for a while to help cheer you up. I'll even buy you things with the money I took from Haku." Kisame said showing the wad of cash he pulled out from his pockets.

"Okay…" Sakura said in a soft tone as she let Kisame grab her hand.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Itachi frowned when he heard non-stop knocking on his door. It couldn't be Sakura. That girl never knocks.

"Come in!" Itachi called out as he could feel the sun's warmth hit him.

"Itachi-sama! Itachi-sama!" A maid cried out as she ran into the room.

"What is it?" He asked.

"It's Sakura-sama!" The maid said in distraught.

"What happened to her?" Itachi questioned. He was now alert now that Sakura was involved.

"I couldn't find her anywhere! She's not in her room nor is she outside! I had the other maids search for her all morning, but we found nothing!" The maid said afraid of her master's reactions.

"Itachi-sama!" Haku ran into the room. "A butler said he spotted Kisame here this morning just before Sakura-sama went missing!"

Haku's eyes widened when he saw Itachi's onyx eyes turn a bloody red, a sign of a true pureblooded demon. Of course he didn't forget Kisame's true reason for coming here besides catching up.

"You know, there have been rumors about you in the demon world. The great demon, Itachi, has taken off from hell and living on the surface. To make matters worse, you're raising a human child! Even the elders are angry." Sakura couldn't hear since she was too far from the two. To be honest, Kisame scared the crap out of her. He reminded her of a shark.

"I see. So they sent you hear to take me back?" Itachi assumed.

"Yup, that and, *quickly return the human child and return* was the command." Kisame said whispered the last part.

Haku seemed to understand what was going on through Itachi's head. "You don't think he'd…" Haku turned to see Itachi had already gone out the window.

XxXxXxXxXxX

"You seriously never had been out here in the town?" Kisame asked surprised.

Sakura shook her head. "Nope. Itachi said bad things would happen to me if I came out here, especially by myself. Sometimes when Itachi is sleeping, Haku would take me at least to the woods that are the border between here and the castle."

Kisame inwardly smirked. So Itachi was especially overprotective of the girl next to him.

"I see." Kisame said. "Let me show you something." Kisame began to lead Sakura to an alley.

"What can you possibly show me in an alley?" Sakura asked as she took back her hand. They stopped in front of a book store's window.

"Have you ever wanted to see what biological parents looked like or where they've been all this time?" Kisame asked.

Sakura's eyes widened with excitement.

"My family?" Sakura repeated. He nodded.

"But, I should wait. Itachi wouldn't like that." Sakura said. Her eyes darkened. "It's not like he'd care anyways. He wouldn't even come for me."

"What would make you say that?" Kisame asked as he leaned against the window and faced the streets. Sakura faced the window as she placed her hands on the cool surface.

"Itachi doesn't like coming out in the afternoon."

"I don't think so…" Kisame smiled.

"Trust me! He'd complain like the stupid-"Sakura's eyes widened when she saw a figure in the window. A man with raven hair tied to a low ponytail, dressed up in a black business suit and a top hat was heading her way.

"I dare you to finish that sentence…" Itachi said.

Sakura turned around to see Itachi glaring daggers at Kisame.

"Kisame…" Itachi growled. "What were you doing with Sakura?"

"I was just taking her around town!" Kisame said. Itachi narrowed his eyes. Soon he felt someone hug him around the waist.

"Stupid! You're so stupid!" Sakura cried. Itachi was taken aback. Was it possible for a fragile flower to be touched by a demon and not wither away?

Itachi slowly wrapped his arms around Sakura. "I'm sorry." He said as he whispered things to her ear.

Kisame just smiled.

XxXxXxXxXxXxX

"What are you going to tell the elders back in the demon world?" Haku asked as they were all in the garden having tea.

"I'll just tell them that I tried, but even I couldn't convince you to come back." Kisame shrugged.

"Y-You won't get in trouble, would you?" Sakura asked.

Kisame smirked. "Aw, is pinky worried about me?" He began to ruffle her hair.

Sakura growled as she kicked bit Kisame's hand as he yelped in pain. She soon finished it with a kick to the balls.

"S-S-Sakura-sama!" Haku said shocked. "When did she learn how to fight?"

Itachi just smirked as he took a sip of his tea.

"Stupid! You're so stupid!" Sakura cried. Itachi was taken aback. Was it possible for a fragile flower to be touched by a demon and not wither away?

Itachi slowly wrapped his arms around Sakura. "I'm sorry." He said as he whispered things to her ear.

"If Kisame calls you pinky or touches you, I want you to kick him in the ball or bite him, maybe even both if you want." Itachi whispered.

"Wouldn't that hurt him?" Sakura asked.

"Nah. In the demon world, that's how we show someone we like them." Itachi smirked.

Itachi is so silly. I love ItaSaku. I'm quite addicted to it, though I'm not as addicted to it as I am to DeiSaku or SasuSaku. Did you guys like it? I hope you did. Haha. This is my first ItaSaku story, so I hope it turned out okay. I'm basing Itachi's personality to how it was before he killed his family. You know, the way he was around Sasuke when they were little. So that wouldn't really count as Itachi being OOC right? Anyways, please review everyone. That will make me very happy.
