If you haven't noticed,I've changed the summary for this story
A low groan escaped Sakura's lips as the sunlight rays shined brightly through the open window onto her face. Moving slightly,someone's grip on her waist instinctively tighten. Racking through her muddled mind,the events of last night came crashing back to her. Itachi coming home,His words,His actions. Being the person that she was,she knew that Itachi never acted like this and whatever was going on Sakura wanted to get to the bottom of it. As much as Sakura liked this side of Itachi,she knew that Itachi was a man of few words especially when it came to their relationship but this side of him,was slightly scaring her for some odd reason. Sakura shuffled in the bed causing Itachi to stir slightly.
"Would you tell me what's going on" Sakura asked feeling Itachi's eyes bore holes into the back of her head.
"No"
The two laid in silence before the door to Itachi's room was softly opened by Mikoto. Mikoto smiled at the two warmly.
"I know that you two may be tired from all the working you two have been doing but I came to let you know that breakfast is ready." She smiled before closing the door and leaving the area. Once Mikoto was out of ear-shot Sakura wiggled out of Itachi's grip and turned back towards him. Placing her hand on his forehead,she let a little bit of chakra slip through her fingers and into Itachi's body. Satisfied with finding nothing,she pulled the chakra back into her body.
"Itachi,Tell me wh-
"Leave it alone Sakura"
Sakura huffed loudly before getting out of the bed and walking into the bathroom,leaving Itachi glaring at her back. When she emerged from the bathroom she found the bed neatly made up with no Itachi.
Sighing softly Sakura quickly dressed and went to find the brooding Uchiha or food,which ever she found first. Against her wishes she found food first. She walked into the kitchen and found Mikoto sitting at the table,drinking tea with Sasuke hovering near-by "Good morning Sakura" She beamed
"Good morning"Sakura replied back as she took a seat next to her mother-in-law"
"Where did Itachi go" She asked
Sakura shrugged
Mikoto smiled"That boy of mines"
"Can I speak to you" Sakura asked as she poured herself a cup of tea"Privately"
Mikoto's smile fell for a second before it was replaced with a small one "Sure, Sasuke would you be a dear and take that list on the counter and go get those items for me"
Sasuke groaned "Wh-
Mikoto turned her head slightly and glared at Sasuke,causing the younger Uchiha to lose the little attitude he had and exit the house.
"I swear these boys will be the death of me" Mikoto muttered as she turned back towards Sakura,who was staring down at her cup of tea. "Now what is the problem Sakura"
"Itachi is different now"
"How different"
"He was acting unusual yesterday and now he's acting distant,well more distant than usual"
"That's a problem"
"Why"
"When Itachi becomes distant,It's like he knows when something bad is about to happen and it isn't a small thing,It's a big thing"
"So how am I suppose to figure that out" Sakura asked before bringing the cup up to her lips and then placing it back down.
Mikoto shrugged"You don't, You just wait"
Sakura sighed softly
"I know Itachi can be frustrating at times but you just have to work with him"
"No offense Mikoto-san but I don't want Itachi to turn out like his father"
"None taken Sakura and I understand where you're coming from, but you have to understand that Fugaku is a old man and is just grumpy and hat's all he can do is that and complain,but if you don't want Itachi to turn out like his father give him an ultimatum."
"Like"
"Threaten to leave him,"
Sakura opened her mouth to protest
"I know you love him Sakura but you have to make him choose,Itachi may be a genius but sometimes you have to remind him that you're still his wife and he can't just put off his feelings like he did with us,He has to be able to see that his silence hurts you too"
Sakura nodded solemnly. She knew that Mikoto was right but maybe she would have to show Itachi,that he can't hide anything from here,whether it was private or personal. She was his wife damn it!
"Thank you Mikoto-san" Sakura smiled as she stared at her cup of cold tea.
"Anything for my daughter-in-law"Mikoto smiled
So the two women continued to talk about trivial things and it wasn't long until a jounin appeared before the two women.
"My apologize"She spoke as she kneeled before the two Uchiha women."But Sakura-san Lady Tsunade would like to see you immediately"
Sakura nodded just as the woman disappeared "I swear I don't have an off day with this woman" She muttered under her breath as she stood up from the table" Forgive me Mikoto-san"
Mikoto waved her off "It's fine Sakura" and with that Sakura disappeared.
Several Minutes Later
"You're doing what" Sakura asked staring at her mentor.
Lady Tsunade sighed again "I'm relinquish my title as Hokage"
"Wait,What" Sakura asked inching closer to the woman
"I can't go into details Sakura but I just wanted you to know from my mouth and not anyone else"
"Who's taking over the title of Homage then, Naruto?,Kakashi?"
She shook her head "I'm not sure at the moment but if my money was on I would have to say Danzou"
"Why"
"Sakura,I don't know why but understand when I tell you this,Nothing could come out good with him being Hokage" Tsunade spoke staring dead at Sakura.
"I know,Isn't he already being looked at in the murder o-
"Hush Sakura" Tsunade snapped stopping Sakura mid-sentence"How do you even know about that"
"People talk" Sakura quickly replied
Lady Tsunade sighed "I see but none of the less,Don't speak of such things in the open Sakura before someone tries you for treason."
Green eyes narrowed then sighed loudly."Fine"
"Sometimes I swear you remind me of your parents so much"Tsunade smiled
"Yeah I know"
Once Sakura had left the Hokage's Tower and was heading home,her mind couldn't help but to wonder what was actually going on. As far as she was concerned Lady Tsunade wouldn't just plainly give up her position as Hokage since she took it over as a favor for Naruto all those years ago. Something had to be going on and she would find out what was going on but not before she dealt with Itachi. It took Sakura no time to make it home and once she did,She found a black bag sitting by the door.
'Is he leaving again' Sakura wondered. Sakura walked into the living-room and laid on the rather longer couch and it wasn't long until Itachi emerged from the back wearing his full anbu attire with his mask tied securely at his waist side.
"You're going on another mission"She asked as she sat up on the couch. Itachi glanced her way and then nodded."But you just came home"
"You should know that mission could come at anytime Sakura"Itachi spoke coolly as he checked his bag,making sure all of his equipment was in there.
"I know they can and after each mission,Everyone is required to take at least a week off for psych evaluations and such"
"Unless they opt out of taking that break and are cleared by medical staff"
"Itachi you couldn't of got anyone to sign off on your release unless you -"
Itachi sighed softly as he looked at her
"You wanted to go back in the field" She spoke almost to herself
Itachi nodded
"Why"
"It's my duty Sakura"
"Have you also forgotten that I am your wife Itachi" Sakura asked as she got up off the couch and walked over towards him."Your duty is to me also"
"Are you putting your feelings above the village"
"You're damn right I am Itachi" Sakura also snapped "Maybe your mother is right"
Onyx eyes narrowed "About what"
"That maybe I need to leave you in order for you to get your priorities in order"
Onyx eyes widened for a millisecond before they harden as Sakura reached down and began to pull her wedding ring off and before she could even move it an inch,Itachi had her pent to a near-by wall breathing slightly hard.
"Don't you dare think that my priorities aren't in order" Itachi growled as onyx stared into green
"Move"Sakura choked out
Itachi offered no words as his lips came crashing down on hers in a manner that would seem almost animalistic. Sakura couldn't help the moan that passed through her lips as Itachi effortlessly lifted her up into arms and carried her off to their bedroom.
Several Hours Later
Sakura was curled up on the smaller sofas in the living-room reflecting on the last couple of hours or so. She didn't expect Itachi to blow up like he did, she was expecting him to stare at her for a good minute before leaving not ravish her body like he had did and as much as she hated to admit it,A part of her like that side of Itachi rather than the gentleness he had when they made love but nonetheless she still had to find out what was going on with not only that man but with her shishou.
"What's going on around here" Sakura mumbled as she snuggled into the blanket more. Suddenly the front door of their home came bursting open,causing Sakura to scramble to her feet and watched as Sasuke carried a bloody Shisui into their home.
"Sakura,Shisui needs help now" Sasuke breathed heavily as he tried supporting his weight.
