Itachi's Promise: Chapter Twenty-Eight
"Sakura, wake up. Wake up, Sakura?" Itachi said; Sakura's head rested on his lap and her body laid out in front of him.
"Itachi?" Sakura questioned, slowly opening her eyes and looking blankly up at Itachi.
"Sakura, are you okay?" Itachi questioned.
"Yeah, but what happened?" Sakura asked, sitting up and leaning back against Itachi.
"Old Uchiha trick, it was meant to keep the rest of the Akatsuki away from my weapons," Itachi answered, helping Sakura to her feet and standing by beside her.
"Itachi, I'm sorry," Sakura apologised, Itachi smiled and held his arms open waiting for Sakura give him a hug.
Sakura stepped into Itachi's arm and hugged him tightly.
"I know you need to return home, I know you need to be with your friends. I know I can't keep you completely to myself," Itachi told Sakura, resting his head on top of hers and thinking of how to get Sakura from this horrible place.
"Come on, we can go have dinner and then return to the room," Itachi said, releasing Sakura and letting her walk behind Itachi.
Itachi's smile faded as he, walked out of the training room and his emotionless expression took control of his face. Sakura didn't fall anymore than a step behind Itachi and Itachi watched for any other Akatsuki members. Itachi walked through the now open living room doors and into the kitchen. Itachi walked into the kitchen and Itachi pulled out four pieces of bread from the cupboard, and two plates from the overhead shelves. Two pieces of bread on each plate, Sakura looked up at Itachi.
Itachi took a pale green paste from the fridge, Sakura smirked and Kisame walked in the room.
"How the hell can you eat that shit?" Kisame asked Itachi.
"It's really nice," Sakura answered, watching Itachi spread the paste on the four pieces of bread and then push the plate over the bench, into Sakura's hands.
Itachi and Sakura picked up the sand in two hands, before putting the sandwich down. Itachi sliced his sandwich in two, then handed the knife to Sakura and let her slice her sandwich in two. Itachi was over by the sink, when Sakura threw the knife like a kunai towards Itachi. Catching the knife without looking, Itachi quickly rinsed the knife and returned to the counter to eat his sandwich. Itachi and Sakura began to eat their sandwiches in exact sync. Kisame stood watching the two; he was amazed at the similarities between them.
"Kisame?" Itachi asked, continuing to eat his sandwich as Sakura eat as well.
"Are you twins or something?" Kisame halved joked.
"Why would you say that?" Sakura asked, taking another bite of her sandwich and finishing the first half off at the same time as Itachi.
"Because you are doing the exact same things, at the same time," Kisame answered, Itachi and Sakura looked at each other.
They were stood across the counter from each other, one hand rested at their sides, the other rested on the edge of the bench. Itachi and Sakura smiled at each other, then returned to eating their sandwiches. Kisame shrugged and entered the kitchen, pulling out two fish from the fridge and throwing them in a fry pan and beginning to cook them. Itachi finished his sandwich and Sakura set half of the sandwich half down on her plate.
"Taa," Itachi said, Sakura slid the plate back across the bench and Itachi caught it and began to eat the sandwich that Sakura had left uneaten.
"Definitely twins," Kisame whispered; Sakura rolled her eyes and spotted something that could prove helpful.
Walking to the freezer Sakura reached inside the freezer and pulled out two ice cubes. Itachi stepped back away from Kisame and watched as she reached up and slipped the two ice cubes down Kisame's shirt. Kisame felt the cubes right away and he turned to Sakura and tried to hit her with the back of his hand. Sakura jumped back into Itachi's arm; Itachi set one of his hands flat against Sakura's back and waited for her to make her move.
"Itachi, Kisame," Sasori called, walking down the hallway towards the living room/kitchen.
Itachi disappeared from behind Sakura, taking a spot on the couch. Kisame ran towards Sakura, while Sakura dodged and landed on the kitchen bench, Sakura crouched down and glared Kisame in the eyes.
"Itachi, won't do that?" Sakura said, as Sasori walked into the room and stared at the three people in the room.
"I don't want to know," Sasori said, walking into the kitchen.
Sakura flipped backwards, landing on the floor in front Itachi. Kisame growled at her and Sasori raised an eyebrow and looked at Sakura. Sakura tilted her head to the side as Sasori looked at her, Sasori looked away in shame and Sakura sighed.
"Sasori, is it?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah, what?" Sasori asked, not looking at Sakura just continuing with what he was doing.
"Can we step out of the room?" Sakura asked, Itachi without moving looked up at Sakura and Sakura ignored him.
Sasori started walking towards the door, Sakura following close behind. Sasori and Sakura walked from the room, into the hallway, then into a small office type room.
"Sasori, I'm sorry I killed you," Sakura apologised.
"It's fine," Sasori replied.
"No, it's not. You won't look me in the eye, you are afraid of me," Sakura told Sasori.
"Why do you care?" Sasori snapped.
"I don't know," Sakura answered, Sasori looked up at Sakura with confusion.
"Your human emotions are controlling your actions aren't they," Sasori questioned.
"Yes, they are," Sakura answered.
"Tell me, how it feels to have emotions," Sasori said.
"I will try," Sakura told Sasori; and she did.
