Sakura woke up as she yawned. It was time to wake up Itachi! She slipped on her fuzzy lavender slippers and a robe as she ran to her beloved Itachi's room. She was surprised to see that he wasn't in his room. That was odd. Sakura ran to the living room to see all the demons there in a deep discussion.

"You have to fuckin' go!" A voice said. It seemed like Hidan came to visit.

"No I don't." Itachi said sipping on his cup of tea.

"But Itachi, it's your birthday! Even Tobi is going to your birthday bash tomorrow!" Tobi said happily.

"The king will be mad since he planned this all for you." Sasori said.

"I didn't even ask him to." Itachi frowned.

"You better do it, or else something might happen to the bitch." Hidan said. Itachi narrowed his eyes as his hand found it tightened around Hidan's throat.

"Call her that one more time, and you won't be able to put yourself together, for you'll only be ashes." Itachi darkly threatened. Hidan gulped as he slapped Itachi's hand away.

"I'd like to see that happen actually." Kisame smirked. "Go ahead and keep talking Hidan."

Sakura frowned as she ran away. She didn't know it was Itachi's birthday tomorrow. What else did she not know about him? As she ran, she bumped into something hard.

"What do we have here?" A hyper voice said. "Ah, you're the famous human girl that Itachi-niisan took in! Hehe, Teme will be happy to meet you." Before Sakura knew it, the stranger took her arm and pulled her into the black portal.

XxXxXxXxXx

"What do you mean you don't know where she is?" Itachi asked as Haku looked at the ground worried.

"I went to her room to wake her up but she wasn't there. I had everyone look but they haven't seen her."

Itachi frowned at Haku's answer as he turned to Hidan and pushed him against the wall.

"What did you do?" Itachi growled.

"I told you. You took too long so the King finally made his move." Hidan said. "I wouldn't be surprised if he killed her already."

Itachi's eyes widened at those words as he dropped Hidan to the ground. He soon went out of the room.

"Itachi! Where are you going?" Deidara asked as he was walking down the hall.

"I'm going to bring Sakura back. I-I need you to come with me. The moment we find her, please bring her back here." Itachi said before he turned the corner.

Deidara watched him walk away before a happy smile appeared on his face. "The great Duke is asking a Baron like me for help. Sakura-chan, you really are something."

XxXxXxXxXxX

Sakura found herself in a cellar. The hallways outside were really dimmed. She noticed that she wasn't chained or bonded by rope. She heard footsteps coming up to her. It was the guy from earlier with a dark blue-haired girl. She didn't seem to have any pupils. Was she blind?

"See Hinata-chan! She's the famous human girl that Itachi-niisan took in." Her blond haired kidnapper shouted happily. Sakura didn't know how to react. She felt a bit terrified. Were they going to kill her? As if the female demon read her thoughts, she gave Sakura a gentle smile, washing away her worries.

"Hello, my name is Hinata. W-What's your name?" She asked. Sakura noticed that her eyes were actually a light lavender color. When she smiled, she was really pretty.

"S-Sakura." She replied.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I'm going to be the greatest demon ever, believe it!" The blond demon had introduced himself to her. For a demon, he was really bright. He reminded her of Deidara.

"Are you guys going to kill me?" Sakura asked.

"O-Oh no, we don't kill unless you give us a reason to." Hinata said. Sakura smiled at the two, shocking them.

"I can see why Itachi took you in." said another voice. "Why did you put her in the dungeon?"

"Kakashi! I didn't know where to put her. She smells like a human. If I placed her anywhere else, she would have been caught and sent straight to Teme." Naruto cried.

"Then why did you bring her here?" Kakashi asked.

"Well Sasuke wouldn't stop complaining about how his brother wouldn't come back and how he lost four of his demons to this girl. He said he wanted to meet her himself and since I'm his best friend, I wanted to make him happy so I brought her here in hopes of Itachi-niisan coming back for her, which I did. I sealed up his powers with the bracelet and placed the keys on this here frog." Naruto was holding a yellow frog. He placed the frog in a golden cage that was tied to his waist. With a soft click, the cage was closed.

"You're lucky the elders haven't noticed her y-"Kakashi stopped in his sentence when he heard a weird sound. The three demons looked at Sakura who blushed prettily. Her stomach had growled.

"Are you hungry?" Naruto asked.

"Um, I don't drink blood…" Sakura said nervously.

The demons laughed. "Blood isn't the only food we eat here. What has Itachi taught you?" Kakashi asked.

"Ooh! Ooh! Can we have her come to Itachi's birthday bash?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"What did you say earlier about not wanting her to be found out?" Kakashi pointed out.

"W-Well, I know this potion that can change her appearance. I'll make her look older and hideaway her scent." Hinata spoke as she got close to the cell. She opened it and pulled Sakura too her. "You two get ready for the party; I'll take care of her."

"Thanks Hinata-chan!" Naruto grinned as he kissed her on the cheeks. Hinata blushed and walked away with Sakura. Sakura was taken to this lavender room which looked like it belonged to a princess.

"Is this your room?" Sakura asked. Hinata nodded as she went to her cupboard. She pulled out a black vial.

"Here you go. Just a sip will make you older." Hinata smiled as she took out a red vial and placed drop on her.

"Older? I can be the same age as Itachi?" Sakura asked excitedly. Hinata was surprised that she said Itachi's name so casually.

"What are you to Itachi?" Hinata asked.

"He's my friend. He took care of me since I was a baby." Sakura said with a blush. "I owe him my life."

"You love him, don't you?" Hinata asked. Sakura's eyes widened. Her and Itachi?

"Oh! You mean you didn't realize it?" Hinata covered her mouth. "I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable."

"I-It's alright." Sakura said. "It's not like that! Itachi wouldn't go for someone like me. I'm just a child to him."

There was a moment of awkwardness as Sakura soon took a sip of the potion. With a hiccup, a puff of smoke appeared as Sakura had gotten taller. Her hair had gotten longer as she grew curves and her face shaped. Looking in the mirror, Sakura gasped as she touched her face, not believing what she saw. She was beautiful.

"Is this me?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, this seems like you're 21." Hinata said. "You will look like this when you're older. Now, let's get you ready for the party."

XxXxXxXxXxXxX

Itachi growled as he and the others made it to his party.

"Itachi!" A familiar voice called out. Itachi sighed. It was his mother. He felt her hug him tightly. Here we go…

"How are you, my son? Have you eaten well? How's your health? Did you finish what you wanted to do in the human world? What's this I hear about you taking care of a human?"

"Mother, please breath." Itachi said politely. "Where's my foolish little brother? I need to have a word with him."

"Your brother is busy with business that you should have been doing, had you not run away like a coward." Itachi frowned. It was his father. "You left a mess that we had to take care of. Luckily she has been kind enough to wait for your return. Sasuke wanted to make sure his favorite person in the world is taken care of."

"Sure…" Itachi muttered.

"Speak of the devil, here she is." Mikoto smiled as a purple-haired woman entered the room.

"Itachi. It's been a while!" The woman said throwing her arms around him.

"Ami." Itachi said politely.

"When I heard you came back, I didn't believe it. But Sasuke-kun promised he'd bring you back for me." Ami smiled.

Itachi rolled his eyes. "Spare me the fake affections." He said in a lowered voice. "We all know what you want out of this marriage of ours."

Ami's smile turned into a smirk. "Of course. The woman who marries such a high demon lord as you will be granted with power, fortune, and fame. Now, greet me kindly."

At that moment, Hinata and Naruto had taken Sakura to that room.

"Ita-"Sakura's eyes widen as she saw Itachi kiss the woman on the lips.

"Ew. It's Ami." Naruto pretended to throw up.

"Who is she?" Sakura asked as she looked away from the scene.

"That's Ami Watanabe. She's a high demon like Itachi. That's his fiancé." Hinata said sadly. Seeing Sakura's reactions proved her feelings for the demon.

Sakura felt her nose sting as her eyes got very watery.

"Let's head to the party…" Sakura said quietly as Hinata and Naruto looked at each other worried. Sakura had many thoughts running through her mind as she tried to hold in her tears. Before she knew it, she bumped into a girl with red hair. Her glasses fell as Sakura quickly grabbed it.

"Well, who do we have here?" The demon asked. Hinata and Naruto gulped. It was the Princess of the demon world. She was Itachi's and Sasuke's adopted sister, Karin.

"K-Karin-sama!" Hinata said as she noticed Karin's eyes glint.

"YOU!" Karin said as she pulled Sakura up. Sakura's feet were dangling in the air. "You are so cute!" Karin squealed as she hugged her tightly.

Naruto let out the breath he was holding in.

"Who is she Naruto?" Karin asked as she continued to treat Sakura like a puppy.

"That's Sakura-chan! She's the famous human Itachi took in." Naruto said cautiously. Karin looked at Sakura once more.

"Well, she's mine now. I want to keep her!" Karin said.

"B-But Karin-sama, Itachi's going to get mad!" Hinata warned.

"Not if Sasuke-chan has anything to say about it!" Karin said. "Where is my brother anyways?"

"I have no idea." Naruto shrugged.

"Oh well, let's head to the party. I want to see Itachi-niisan! It's been a while." Karin said as she pulled Sakura by the wrist and dragged her to the party.

When the four got there, Itachi was already making his great entrance as everyone cheered for him.

"Everyone, we present to you the return of our beloved Itachi Uchiha." The guest cheered and applauded as Itachi was forced to dance with his fiancé.

"I didn't know Itachi had a fiancé…" Sakura said sadly as Karin handed her a drink.

"Why are you crying?" Karin asked. Her red eyes widened. "Don't tell me you're in love with my brother?"

"No! It's not like that! Itachi took me in when I was a baby." Sakura said wiping her tears away. Karin pouted as she held Sakura close to her bosom.

"Aw, you're like a stray dog!" Karin cried. "You poor thing. But don't be surprised about Itachi's fiancé. Every time a demon is born, they arrange a fiancé for that demon."

"Yeah, like me and Hinata-chan!" Naruto grinned.

"What about you, Karin?" Sakura asked. Karin blushed as she looked over at the food table.

"Do you see that guy with the white hair at the food table?" Karin asked. Sakura squint her eyes as she saw a young man with white hair and purple eyes chowing down food like there was no tomorrow. He had grabbed a cup of yogurt and took a spoonful into his mouth.

"AHHHH!" He said happily as he grinned.

"Uh, yeah?" Sakura said a bit cautiously.

"That's my fiancé." Karin grinned.

Sakura sighed as she looked back at Itachi dancing with his fiancé. Their faces were really close as if they were going to kiss again. She frowned. She could feel the tears forming in her eyes. At that moment, Itachi went to look up and their eyes met. Sakura held back a sob. She knew nothing about Itachi at all.

"Sakura?" Itachi said as he pushed Ami away.

"Who is she?" Ami asked as she gave Sakura a dirty look. Itachi went to go to Sakura but Naruto stopped him.

"Get out of my way Uzumaki." Itachi said glaring at the blond demon. He soon turned his attention to the pink-haired teen behind Naruto. "Sakura, why are you crying?"

Sakura didn't answer. Instead Karin pulled her behind him.

"Hello aniki!" Karin greeted.

"Don't cause a scene. Hinata-chan, Karin, and I got her. If she stands out too much, it will become obvious that she's not a demon." Naruto said with a grin. "Now, go back to your party."

XxXxXxXxXxX

"Happy birthday!" A tipsy Kisame said coming up to Itachi on his throne.

"Who are you?" Itachi growled.

"I'm your best friend!" Kisame said with tears in his eyes.

"Sorry, don't know you." Itachi said. Kisame sighed as he handed Itachi a cup of wine.

"Everyone's come to celebrate your birthday!" Kisame grinned. "Look at all those presents!" Itachi looked at the mountain of gifts on his right.

"They're just trying to suck up." Itachi frowned with annoyance.

"Well, I can't really deny that." Another voice said. It was Sasori.

"These parties held every hundreds of years have no meaning in the first place. It's just a show that the elders, who respect custom, put on to keep up appearance, yeah?" Deidara said as he waved goodbye to a female demon.

"Those presents and this banquet, they don't have even a shred of the worth of the flowers that Sakura brings me uselessly every day." Itachi grumbled. Kisame, Sasori, and Deidara looked at Itachi with a surprised look.

"What's this?" Kisame grinned. "Could you be sulking because Sakura didn't celebrate your birthday with a smile?"

"…Not really." Itachi said.

"I could only get a glance at the fuss before, but that was Sakura wasn't it. She was crying, wasn't she?" Sasori asked.

"Hn." Itachi answered.

"Ah! I see, you're sulking because Sakura-chan wouldn't tell you why she was crying, yeah?" Deidara smirked.

"Shut up." Itachi said with annoyance.

"Hm, she was brought to an unknown place and was separated from you too. Maybe she got lonely." Kisame said.

Itachi was quiet for a bit. "Kisame, go get Uzumaki."

Naruto came a few minutes later as Itachi told him to send Sakura back home.

"Send her back?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, where did she go?" Itachi asked.

"After that, she said she was going to cool off and headed for the courtyard. But why should I follow orders from you?" Naruto frowned.

"You brought me back, and put this bracelet on me. There's no way for me to escape with my demon powers sealed. Sakura's served her purpose, right?" Itachi said with a sad smile. Naruto frowned and went to touch the cage on his waist. His blue eyes widened. The cage was opened and the yellow frog was gone!

XxXxXxXxXxX

Sakura ran out of the building as she tried to wipe her tears away. She did a bad thing. She was horrible to cry like this at Itachi's birthday party. But she doesn't know how she could smile. An image of Itachi dancing with that girl entered her mind. It's like Itachi's gone really far away.

"Why are you crying?" A voice asked. Sakura's green eyes snapped to a boy her real age if not younger. He had spiky raven hair that resembled that of a chicken's ass.

"It's nothing." Sakura said.

"That isn't your real form, is it?" He said. Sakura's mouth dropped. Oh no! She was caught!

"Y-Yes it is! I'm a demon! RAWR!" Sakura said as she made claw movements at him.

The guy raised an eyebrow as he smirked. Sakura realized that this guy looked like Itachi. "I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about your age."

Sakura mentally screamed. She had already given everything away!

"Of course, I won't be fooled by a potion like that." Sakura frowned. What should she do? This demon could tell some high power guy and then something could happen to her friends. "Were you crying about Itachi?"

"Eh? You know Itachi?" Sakura asked surprised.

"Ah. I'm his younger brother, Sasuke." Sakura's eyes widened. Itachi had a little brother? This made her sad.

"I don't know anything about Itachi. Not his birthday, not that he had a fiancé, and not that he had a younger brother. He doesn't really talk about himself and I don't really ask either. But now, it's just bothering me." Sakura frowned as she closed her eyes.

"Stupid." Sasuke said. "Aren't his past and background trivial things? You've been happily living together without knowing or worrying about any of that stuff. For 16 years, you've continued to see a side of Itachi that perhaps no one in the entire demon world has ever seen. The Itachi you know is an Itachi known only to you." Sakura turned to look at Sasuke to see he had disappeared.

XxXxXxXxXxX

Itachi sighed. So Sakura had gone home and there was nothing else to worry about. Scouting the guest of people, a hint of pink caught his eyes. There was Sakura, standing against a pole with a flower in hand. She looked up at him and smiled. Itachi immediately got up and headed towards Sakura.

"You! What are you doing? What's that idiot Uzumaki doing?" Itachi asked.

"Naruto got diarrhea." Sakura said with a blush. She noticed how close Itachi's face was to hers. She could feel his warm breath on her.

"He was supposed to tell you to go on ahead home." Itachi said as he sighed.

"I won't do that." Sakura said as she clung on to Itachi's shirt. "I want to go home together with you Itachi. " Itachi placed a hand on her head as he brought her closer to his chest.

"I get it. We'll go home then." Itachi smirked. The other demons wondered who the pink haired woman next to their Itachi was.

"Deidara! Who is that woman?" Ami growled.

"Itachi!" Fugaku called out as Mikoto looked at the woman next to her eldest son.

"Hey!" Hidan called out. "Guards, get him! Make sure he doesn't escape!"

Itachi grabbed Sakura's hand and held it tightly. "Run Sakura!"

Itachi passed by Haku who was about to get a piece of pig to eat. "Haku, what are you doing. We're going home!"

"But the pig!" Haku cried. Itachi glared at the girly demon as he grabbed Haku by the collar of his shirt. The trio made it to the balcony as Hidan caught up to them with guards behind him.

"This is as far as you fucking go!" Hidan said pulling out his scythe. "Naruto sealed your powers. You can't fly and you can't go home. You lose. I finally understand. As long as you keep this brat by your side, you will be a pussy. Just let her go and come back."

"Weakness?" Itachi smirked. "You don't understand Hidan." Itachi grabbed Sakura by the waist. "When Sakura and I are together, we're invincible."

"Ribbit!" Sakura looked down at her ankles to see a familiar yellow frog with a key around its neck hopped around. She immediately grabbed it and took the key.

"Ack! The frog!" Naruto cried. Itachi fell backwards on the balcony as Hidan went to the edge to watch them fall back. The bracelet unlocked as Itachi was able to grow his wings. Sakura fell towards him as the two laced their hands together. Sakura smiled as they flew away with Haku trailing after them.

Sasuke stared up at the sky. "So aniki escaped."

"Sasuke." Karin said walking up to her brother. "You had Naruto bring Sakura here, didn't you?"

Sasuke smirked. "I was interested in the girl Aniki took in."

"Please go easy on the games." Karin said. "You're the King of the demon world."

"Ah." Sasuke said as he turned his head to the side and smirked.

XxXxXxXxX

Itachi, Sakura, and Haku continued to fly through the sky as Sakura latched herself on to Itachi.

"Don't do that." Itachi growled.

"Hmph, even though you were kissing that fiancé of yours..." Sakura pouted.

"Why were you watching? She's my fiancée, so it's okay." Itachi said coolly with a smirk.

That pissed Sakura off and made her blush at the same time. "I want a kiss too!" She demanded

"No." Itachi teased to make her angrier. The three finally made it home. Haku went inside to rest as he left the two in the courtyard.

"Oh, here." Sakura said handing him a flower. The stem was bent. "Sorry, it withered, but happy birthday." Sakura said with a smile and a light blush. Itachi gave her a gentle smile that he only gave to her. Sakura was happy that Itachi took the flower with his left hand. His right hand cupped her left cheek as his face drew near. Sakura's eyes widened when Itachi kissed her on the right cheek. She immediately put her hand over it as her face turned dark red. Itachi just smirked before walking away.

I hope for Itachi's 200th to be a wonderful year.

Sakura's older version of herself wore off and she was back to normal.

Smooth, Itachi…very smooth. How was that? Itachi and Sakura are just too cute! Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter as much as I did writing it. Yes, the king of the demon world is Sasuke. I want to know how you guys feel about this chapter. Thank you for reading and please review everyone. It will make me very happy.

Love Kumiko
