"Ino! I do not want to be here right now!" I squeaked.

"Oh hush, you even said it yourself! You love-"

"Shut up! We're in public!"

"Yeah yeah yeah. But seriously, what do you think comes next?" she argued.

I gulped, looking at the rows of sexy underwear. Earlier this morning, at five freakin o'clock in the morning, Ino had called me saying I had three hours to get ready before she was coming and dragging me to the mall. So me being the oblivious person I am, thought she just wanted to go shopping. I needed a new pair of running shoes anyway.

As soon as we got to the mall though, Ino had grabbed my hand and literally dragged me into Victoria's Secret. So here I was, trying to escape Ino the she-devil as she threw pairs of way to revealing underwear at me in every color under the rainbow.

"How about these?" she turned around to reveal a tiny piece of black lace that couldn't even be classified as underwear.

"Ino, if you want to get me underwear, get me underwear. That's not underwear."

"Yes it is!"

"No, it's not. That's a scrap of fabric that they charge you fifty bucks for. So no, it's not underwear it's a rip off. " I dead paned.

Ino glared at me, then turned around and grabbed a pink thong that couldn't have covered anything, although I guess that was the point, and dangled it in my face.

"Come on Sak, you're dating a celebrity sex symbol! Do you really think you can keep him happy in the bedroom with just you? The guy's done more women then there are bras in this store, you've gotta spice things up a bit!" Ino said, already walking further into the store.

I gulped. Was she right? Was Itachi really going to hate me if we ever um, you know… yeah. As I looked around at the rows of lingerie, I realized that I had made a big mistake telling Ino I loved Itachi. Yeah, the next step in most relationships after a person realizes they love the other is that but I don't know if I'm ready!

"Oh Sakura look at this one!"

I had barely turned around in time to see a black and white teddy whizzing towards my face.

"Ino!"

"Go try it on!"

Before I could even open my mouth to protest, Ino was already shoving me down the hall and into a dressing room.

"And you can't come out until you put it on!"

I groaned, then looked down at the skimpy piece of lingerie in my hands. Slowly, I started to undress and giving the teddy one last look, I pulled it on.

I felt naked despite the thin layers of fabric covering my most private areas. A banging on the changing room door made me jump as Ino yelled on the other side, "Hey Forehead, did you put it on yet?"

I was blushing, I didn't know why but I was. I mean it's not like anyone in the store knew who I was or anything, right? I wrapped my hand around the knob and pulled open the door. With a squeal, Ino grabbed my wrist and started to pull me down the hallway all the changing rooms were in and towards the main store.

"Oh my kami-sama Sakura you look so sexy, Itachi won't be able to keep his hands off you! But lets get the sale's woman's opinion first before we buy it, better safe than sorry," Ino rambled as I realized with ever growing horror she was dragging me into the middle of store where people could see me!

Digging my heels into the floor, I tried with all my might to stop the blond in front of me from dragging me any further into the store. But stopping Ino right now would be like stopping a freight train. She. Would. Not. Stop!

"Excuse me, Miss! Can me and my friend have your opinion on this teddy?" Ino called all the way across the freakin store!

"Holy shit Sakura-chan!"

I whipped my head towards the front of the store and felt dread wash over me as I watched none other than Deidara Iwa gape at me like a fish out of water from the entrance of the store.

"You-you," He stuttered, raising his arm to point at me, "You're wearing, and the store, and the outfit…"

Suddenly, a wicked smirk appeared on his tanned face and I knew that somewhere out there, some god or another was out to get me.

"I'm telling Itachi!" he called before taking off towards the entrance of the mall.

"What-what…" I stuttered, turning and looking at an equally stunned Ino.

"That little pervert!" Ino shrieked before tearing out of the store and after the blond celebrity.

I just stood there, completely petrified, in the middle of Victoria's Secret for a full ten minutes until Ino came striding back in with a extremely satisfied look on her face.

Grabbing my arm and a black babydoll off the shelf next to us, she dragged me back into the changing area.

"Wait, Ino! What about Deidara?" I asked frantically.

"Oh, don't worry about him, he won't be fibbing any time soon."

I could practically feel the smug satisfaction rolling off of her in waves as she shoved me back into my dressing room and for a split second I let myself feel bad for the famous musician. Kami-sama only knows what she did to the poor man.

So, an hour later Ino and I made our way back to my apartment to put away all my new clothes, and running sneakers, before I would have to kick her out so I could get ready for the charity concert Itachi was preforming later that night.

Blocking out Ino's chatter as she drove, I allowed myself to look back at our relationship. The past three months had been some of the most fun weeks of my life. Itachi really was a nice man. He had taken good care of me, always making sure I took care of myself when I was to tired to do so after a shift at the hospital or taking me out to dinner at insanely nice restaurants.

I had gotten used to all the paparazzi (for the most part) and was immune to all the glares that 99.999% of the female population tending to send my way. It was all in a days work for me now. Not to mention, this was the longest relationship Itachi had ever been in, which had turned us into Konoha's newest sweetheart couple and me into some kind of miracle worker.

I snapped back to the present when I felt the car stop and realized that we had pulled up in front of my apartment.

"And here we are," Ino chirped in a singsong voice, pulling the keys out of the ignition. Getting out, I went to the back and helped Ino bring all the bags into the house.

"Jeez Forehead, you sure got a lot," Ino mumbled as we threw the last of the bags onto my bed.

Oh, she did not just say that.

"If I remember correctly Pig, you made me get all this stuff," I hissed, glaring at her.

Scratching the back of her head awkwardly, the pretty blond just laughed, "Well, lets not point fingers now."

I growled, then turned around and walked out of my room.

Humming quietly to myself, I pressed down slightly harder on the gas pedal as I drove down the highway. The concert was going to be at a small music hall just on the outskirts of the city. It wouldn't be long, maybe two hours, then Itachi said he wanted to go back to his place afterwards. I bit my lip slightly, thinking of the teddy Ino had shoved into my purse before I left.

If I really did this, it would be huge. I had only ever really been in one other intimate relationship my entire life while Itachi had probably shagged half the country's female population.

Okay, so maybe it would be a big deal to just me.

Aw well.

Pulling into a space in the already packed parking lot, I hopped out of my car and started towards the entrance. Pushing through mobs of squealing girls, I made sure to keep my head down to make sure I didn't get molded by a crazy fan girl. Getting to the front door, I flashed the security guard my pass then hurried to the back. What I saw was probably one of the funniest things I would ever see in my entire life.

Deidara, sitting in front of a makeup desk, holding a powder brush as he tried to cover up the large black eye he had. It was at moments like this I remembered why I loved Ino.

"Ah, so I see Ino gave you one of her famous left hooks," I teased as I leaned against the wall.

Literally falling out of his chair, Deidara spun around to shoot me a glare.

"She's crazy, un! She chased me all the way out of the mall and halfway across the parking lot before she tackled me and punched me in the flippin eye, yeah!" he cried, throwing his arms in the air for emphasis.

I could stop the giggle from coming out of me as I looked at the distressed twenty six year old.

"Wait wait wait, a fucking girl gave you that black eye?"

We both looked over and saw Hidan, followed by the rest of the band, walk in. Immediately Itachi walked up and wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Hello Sakura," he murmured into the side of my neck.

"Itachi-kun," I said back, turning to give him a lite kiss on the lips.

"That's not the only place she gonna be kissing-"

"Deidara," I hissed.

The very audible gulp I heard was all the clarification I needed to know he would keep his mouth shut. Despite this mornings shopping trip, I still wasn't positive I was going through with this. Last thing I needed was for Deidara to go flapping his big mouth before everything was settled. Well, I was settled.

I made a point to ignore the confused looks everyone was giving the two of us as I crossed my arms over my chest.

'They can just wonder all they want. No one else needs to know.'

'Not like it matters though, everyone saw this coming.'

'You just shut up.'

Suddenly, the door opened and a short man holding a clipboard walked in.

"You guys have three minutes so I suggest you all get ready," he said, not even looking up from whatever he had written on the sheet. And just like that, he left again.

"Okay then, I'll leave and I'll see everyone later," I said, giving Itachi a kiss on the cheek and walking towards the door.

"Good luck out there!" I called over my shoulder as the door closed behind me.

Walking back out into the crowd, I made my way to the back, that way I could still watch without being mobbed by crazy, hormone crazy fan girls. Cause that sounds just great now don't it?

Pushing through the last group of giggling girls (all who couldn't have been more than 17 and were wearing way to much makeup) I breathed a sigh of relief at being able to breath clearly again. It was like a freakin' poisonous gas chamber in the middle of the crowd! All that perfume, mixing together and creating a new, more dangerous kind of toxic gas.

Teenager Girl 3,000

As in that's how many girls' fancy fruit spray I had to inhale just to get out.

I couldn't have had better timing because the second I was free of the mob of girls, they all started to scream at the tops of their lungs. Every single freaking one of them!

I was now officially deaf in my left ear.

"So how's everyone doing tonight?"

I turned and looked over the mob of jumping, screaming females and saw that the Akatsuki had taken the stage. They all looked casual holding their instruments while thousands of people screamed their names from below them in the crowd. The lazy smirk Itachi wore as he spoke casually into the microphone causing hearts to erupt in the eyes of most the girls in the crowd.

Che, show off(s).

The first few chords of 'Before the Worst' started and soon the sound of the instruments filled the hall.

The occasional scream could be heard as they played but I just kept my eyes on Itachi the whole time.

The band played the last few notes just as the crowd burst into cheers. Ugh, I wasn't going to be able to hear anything tomorrow morning if they all kept being this loud.

The rest of the concert went smoothly as they preformed a few more songs and closed up. People were starting to filter out just as my phone started to vibrate in my pocket.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Sasuke's straight forwardness.

"At your brother's charity concert. Why?"

"You're not allowed to sleep with Itachi."

My entire body erupted in a bright red blush as I struggled to respond.

"Excuse me?"

"Ino told Shikamaru about this morning, Shikamaru told me."

'That stupid Pig sold us out! And then her freakin' pineapple headed boyfriend sold us out to!'

'I'm going the kill that blond! And the fruit boy!'

"Sasuke-kun, you can't tell me what to do with…um…stuff like that." I stuttered.

"With this, yes I can."

"Um, no. My body, my decision."

At this point all but a few people had left and my voice echoed off the empty walls.

"Hn, you still can't."

I growled and then ended the call. He had no right telling me what to do with my sex life!

I stomped across the empty theatre to the back stage door but just as I was about to turn the knob I could have sworn I heard a moan coming from inside.

'Huh, that was weird.'

I turned the handle and opened the door only to stop when I got inside.

There, laying on one of the couches, was Itachi, a scantily clad girl on top of him.

Ha! Can anyone say cliffhanger? Hehe, told you this would be a funny and sad chapter. I've got to say, I think this was the best chapter yet. But better chapters are soon to come, I promise!

So what's gonna happen? Special shout out to whoever can guess it right!
