I'm ashamed of myself the four chapter in a day, dang it! I have better things to do then get stuck writing this fic! Lol. I guess I was threatened by the time I wasted moving letting you guys get a few chapters up on me, so I thought to up the ante.
In an unrelated note, our house has tiny little ants that drive me nuts! Stupid ants that interrupt your reading by crawling across the dang page or computer screen. I actually was writing last chapter and had an ant crawl across the screen and wrote ' ant' in the sentence I was writing! It was like: " It was chaotic as expected, but I think I can settle things out ant better so when I return things won't be as bad." I reread over it and was like O.O what? Lol. Good thing I caught it! XDD

Chapter fourteen: Nightmares
XxXxxXxxXxxXxxXxXX
Suna, Hotel:
Saku walked in looking tired, but also seemed a little peeved.
Neji had gone out to pick up dinner for the three of them, while Shisui was in the shower leaving Itachi reading on the bed looking comfortable, but out of place.
" Welcome back." Itachi replied. Saku liked that about her, she never pushed. Never asked if he wanted to speak about anything, because she knew if he wanted to share, he would. Simple. They understood each other, that was why he liked her. He felt he didn't have to explain every little thing, every moment of his life.
She had just as much pressure from her clan as he did in life. They sometimes didn't see eye to eye of course, her being ANBU captain, him being the Head medic in Konoha. However they, at least he was, comfortable just being himself around her. He didn't have to be anyone else but Sakura Haruno. He didn't have to be special or attractive, because she frankly didn't care.
Maybe he was never meant to be able to seduce her into being his. Maybe he was only supposed to respect her and enjoy the little moments he got with her, the little moments in life that turned into big moments he would forever cherish. Maybe she was always supposed to be someone out of reach to all of them, him included. Why did he think he would be any different from all the others that tried and failed to reach out to her, to grasp her hand firmly and not simply look up, but never touch.
Seeing how she looked relaxed, but out of place, because she could be doing something so productive, yet she was forced to babysit him. It was beneath a ANBU captain to have to watch him like this, but she took it all into stride simply because she was the way she was. She could handle anything thrown her way.
It was moments like this that made him wonder why he bothered to try to when he knew he would never be able to grab a hold. A life as a Shinobi or Kunoichi was sometimes short lived and you had to grasp every single moment, so what the hell had he been doing with his life? He had accomplished his goal to prove his worth and stand out against his team, Naruto the future Hokage and Kyuubi, Sasuke, and Kakashi, They had their own place, and now he had his as well. He was ANBU, he was cherished by his village, if only a bit too much, he ran the hospital, he was needed in other villages, he stood his own ground, but he had never done anything in his own life that had changed himself. A legacy of any sort.
He would be remembered sure, but not forever. He didn't want forever of course, he just wanted to have all the good he did to continue with others. He wanted to be the start but not the end. He wanted the village to go on further to greater things, he wanted a family, he wanted children. He wanted what the others had.
He wanted to love, to come home and see his children, to have something worth going home to. What was he going home to now? What when this mission was over, would he be going home for? Who was waiting?
No one. A soft voice supplied in his mind. He winced at that.
His friends had lives, they had lovers, they had people who cherished them, people loved Saku sure, but not one person actually depended on him as him, not as a medic, not as an ANBU, but as a man.
He wanted to return home and be welcomed by his wife, he wanted to come home and have her hug him tight and be reminded that he could have died, and that if he had, that he would have at least been a part of her life. He wanted to return home and see his children grown. He wanted to watch them make their own lives, he wanted what a lot of people had, and he had been too busy growing stronger to realize he even wanted.
Why did he even now realize it? Why did he just now understand what he wanted? What had changed?
' Welcome back' Itachi's words had made him desire to hear it when he actually returned home. He wanted to go home and not return to an empty house, he wanted to return to a house full of happiness and joy. When he went home he would return to a abandoned house, with no one there to say those words, with no sounds of the kitchen, or sounds of little cries from children or smell of home, he would go home to nothing. He rubbed a hand warily over his face.
" Your back... What's wrong?" Shisui asked coming out of the shower towel around her hair as she dried it, his face must have been turned into the complicated emotions he felt, because she had immediately lost the small smile and turned to a concerned look. He sighed softly.
" Just realizing I'm going to return to no one." Her eyes widened in surprise then softened, but quickly she looked away to hide it. She would return to hundreds of lovers, Itachi would return to her family, Neji would return to her clan, her Aunt, and cousins. Saku, well Saku would literally return to none, not a single person.
Itachi didn't look up from her reading but he could tell he had caught her interest.
" It doesn't have to be that way." She commented softly. His eyes warmed slightly at her. Her eyes flickered over to him then away with a smirk.
" It won't be anyway for long anyway I supose." Saku said with a sigh, as he meant that the Hokage and Elders were forcing lovers on him, and soon he would have a wife and children, more then one wife at that, and probably more children then he needed.
" Have you found all three?" Shisui asked surprising Saku. She was volunteering to speak of his love life. She had finished drying her hair and was now brushing it out with the towel on her lap as she sat on her and Itachi's bed, at Itachi's feet.
" I haven't even found one." He said with a half amused half bitter chuckle. Her eyes shot up to his. Itachi's brows furrowed.
" What about Shikamaru Nara?" She asked. Saku's brows rose in surprise, did everyone now know all his business? It was expected though. He sighed softly.
Of course she would know, after all Shisui had been with Ino, and knew that Ino had used her to get back at him for taking Shikamaru from him.
Saku rubbed a hand over his face again, he was weary of life. Usually he took in all he could but suddenly, he was tired of everything. He just wanted to sleep. He just wanted everything to fade away, all his worries, all his problems, his pain, his drama, all of it.
" Shika deserves someone better then me." He left it at that, he didn't want to get into his life any more. They would know more about it sooner or later one way or the other. He was tired of talking about himself. It seemed lately it was always about him. Why couldn't someone else take the spot light for a while? Forever? He had first been upset he had been in the shadows of his teammates, now he was tired of the attention. Ironic.
Shisui opened her mouth to complain about his self esteem but Itachi touched her back slightly with her foot. Shisui turned her eyes to her cousin, said cousin was still reading, but the message was clear. It wasn't their place and though Shisui wanted it to be, it wasn't. So she didn't say anything further, she could tell she had pushed it asking so much.
He didn't talk about himself often and this chance to get him to open up made her push him.
" I take it you didn't find a available room?" Shisui instead said. She was trying her best to break the gap between them. She wasn't happy with herself with what happened, but it was over and they had to eventually get over this. She knew she couldn't push, but her personality being as it was, wasn't use to patience.
Saku's lips twitched slightly, but not as if he were really amused, it was almost bitter.
" No." Itachi turned her eyes to him with a frown.
" If you continue sleeping on the floor you will catch a cold." Shisui sent her cousin a strange look. Itachi of course ignored it. Itachi saw the way Saku's eyes got hard and cold, she was almost taken back by it.
" I'm a medic, even if I did, I could easily take care of it." Itachi and Saku stared off. For some reason these two were not coming to agreement this mission. Of course they didn't do these type of missions often where Itachi wasn't in charge, where she was simply backup, a guard, and Saku had the say. Maybe that was the problem. They were both dominate and Saku was refusing to back down when normally he would do with out question.
" If you slept in the bed you would not have to deal with anything." Saku and Itachi continued their stare off.
" The floor is fine." Saku replied to her comment. Shisui looked between the two with a frown. She saw the way Itachi would not budge, and also saw the slow tightening of Saku's shoulders. Was she happy that it would be that much more difficult for Saku to be with Itachi? Hell yes, was she happy with the situation or conversation, no.
Why wouldn't Itachi just let the guy alone? Yes he would no doubt catch a cold being on the floor, yes it was a problem, but what was the alternative? Saku wouldn't even dare sleep and let what happened with Neji happen again. At least on the floor he would tempt sleep.
" You can sleep with Shisui." Saku opened his mouth to refuse when Itachi held up a hand and Saku's words came to a halt.
" I'll be frank Sakura, you won't touch Shisui anyway, so you shouldn't have a problem. Even if you did touch her, she wouldn't mind being molested." Shisui opened her mouth the closed it with a unhappy look at the way her cousin had just said it in such a way, as if she were some whore who liked the touch of any man...she had her own limits on things, she didn't screw anything with legs and a dick. Yes she liked Saku and wouldn't mind being with him, but still. It was a bit hurtful to her pride.
Saku actually thought it over for a long moment. He turned his eyes to Shisui who sat up straighter with his attention on her. It was true even in his sleep if got close her scent would never trigger anything but memories of what happened between her and Ino and the hurt he felt. He slowly nodded.
" Fine." Shisui's eyes widened. Itachi nodded and went back to reading as if they hadn't just battled with their words. Neji came back in at that moment and felt the tension that she had walked into suddenly ease away. She frowned and looked between Saku and first Shisui, then Itachi.
She had never seen Itachi and Saku fight, so she assumed it was between Shisui and Saku.
Saku left to shower the grime of the day while Itachi, Shisui, and she ate their dinner. When Saku came out he was dressed in a shirt and pants this time, as if about to go out on the town not go to bed. No one commented on it, so neither did Neji. She tensed when he walked to the bed, but didn't tell him not to sleep with her. She wasn't mad or afraid he would do it again, she was confused for sure, but not angry with him.
She saw the stiffness to his body as he actually walked over to the bed Shisui was sitting on the edge of with Itachi. Itachi stood and walked to Neji's bed with a nod. Neji's eye brows went up. He was sleeping with Shisui this time? Her brows turned down and she opened her mouth to tell him he didn't have to sleep with someone else but her words died in her throat, for whatever reason, so she let it go.
She wanted to tell him she wasn't mad or upset, because she knew he was upset. She could see it in the stiffness of his shoulders when she watched him. She could tell in the way his eyes weren't bright, but dark. In thought, in shame, in reproach. Her lips turned down, she didn't like seeing him like this. She however wasn't sure how she could do anything to reassure him, she wasn't that type of person, and for a moment she wished she was. He was her partner, whether she thought he could properly do his job as an ANBU or not, didn't matter, she was stuck with him, so she would care.
Saku slid reluctantly in bed actually looking to the floor with longing. As if he rather would sleep on the floor, but he didn't, apparently the tension she felt before she came back, had been an argument after all between Itachi and Saku, shame she missed that.
He had his back to both her and Itachi, and he was the closest to the window leaving Shisui on the left side of the bed closest to Neji and Itachi as if he wanted as far away from them as possible. She frowned at that. She was uncomfortable with this. She didn't like him acting this way. It wasn't normal. She just wasn't sure how to fix it.
XxXxxXxxXxxXxxXxxXxxX
Shisui stayed awake the whole night. Waiting for him to make a move of any kind, he had came closer once but then his brows drew down and he looked pained and he backed away in his sleep again. It hurt her greatly to see that unmasked pain. Hurt somewhere deep in her chest. He stayed firmly on the other side of the bed the rest of the night, and a few times he woke in the night to make sure he was on his own side of the bed far from her.
It upset her to see him so upset with himself. She wondered when, in her life, she had become so damn compassionate, but then realized she wasn't compassionate, she was just worried about him because she cared about him in ways she didn't want to admit.
He was beating himself up about what happened. Neji somehow needed to fix this, because neither she nor Itachi could do a thing. It was between them now.
Before daylight arrived Saku shot up in bed with a choked strangled sound. Shisui jumped, she hadn't been asleep, but she had been so deep in thought it startled her. Itachi and Neji woke as well alarmed by his sudden sound. No doubt thinking they were being attacked. All eyes went to Saku. He was was covered in a cold sweat, his bangs mattered to his face, eyes wild in...almost fear. She could even hear the sound of his rapid heart, and his breathing was quick and short. His hands were gripping the sheets so hard his knuckles were white.
" Sakura." Shisui said softly so not to startled him. He must have had a nightmare. It worried her. What could have shook him so much? His eyes were so dark they almost seemed black in the dark room. He looked spooked.
" Oh." His voice was rough, not a good rough, but a rough that sounded like he'd been screaming for days. His eyes jerked to Itachi and landed on Neji. His eyes scanned her with quick eyes, then returned straight ahead of him. And with that one look Shisui immediately knew what the dream had been about.
" Sakura, can I speak with you?" He turned his head slightly to Itachi's voice, his breathing and heart had slowed again, but he still looked spooked, almost sick to his stomach. He stood and made a wide arch around Neji, her brows drew down. Itachi walked after Sakura and they left the room out into the hall despite Itachi being in a tank top and shorts with her hair down around her shoulders and feet bare.
Neji turned her eyes to Shisui with a frown.
" You need to reassure him he didn't hurt you Neji." Shisui said. She frowned.
" I don't know how." She answered when Shisui hadn't thought she would.
XxXxxXxxXxxXxxX
It had been so real. The nightmare felt so real. His stomach churned and he fought getting sick. He didn't look up to Itachi's eyes as he normally would have. Itachi took them down the hall and to the balcony that lead outside where they severed breakfast and dinner at the hotel, but of course in the early hours of the nights no one was there.
They looked to the slowly lightening sky in silence. The air was warming slowly from chilly to warmer, a warmer of the morning in the desert.
" Tell me." Itachi ordered. Saku flinched.
" No." Itachi didn't snap at him or order it out of him, she remained silent.
" You can not continue beating yourself over this Sakura. You were not awake, you did not hurt her, stop over thinking things." He turned his eyes to her.
" I could have hurt her. Did you see her neck?" Itachi's brows turned down. No she hadn't. She thought back to when she looked to Neji today, she had worn her ANBU turtle neck all day, and she hadn't payed much attention in the night.
" But you did not." His eyes were angry.
" Only because you and Shisui woke me up. Neji didn't bother to stop me at all, I forced her down." Itachi's brows furrowed.
" She is ANBU if she wanted you off she would have moved you." His brows drew down at well.
" She could have moved you, but did not." Itachi said trying to make him see her point.
" Because she trusts me not to hurt her." Itachi snorted.
" Neji Hyuuga has made it clear she does not trust you." Which was absolutely true, she had made it clear she did not like nor accept him as a friend or as a teammate. She had clearly made it known she did not trust him to save her life or watch her back.
" Then I scared her." Saku said. Itachi narrowed her eyes at Sakura.
" You couldn't scare a fly." Sakura's mouth opened in shock at her insult.
" You did not scare her, you may have startled her, it is not every day we see you lose any type of control, let alone of a sexual nature." His eyes closed.
" She did not push you away, you did not hurt her. She is not angry at you, so stop punishing yourself." Itachi ordered.
" She struggled under me." He remembered it. He also remembered more clearly his dream. His dinner rose, in a panic he covered his mouth with a hand to keep himself from vomiting. Itachi gave him a concerned look.
" What did you dream about?" She asked.
" That I forced her." Itachi's eyes widened in shock.
" That I enjoyed it, that she begged me to stop. She screamed so much. She cried and she struggled even harder. Then...then she got very quiet." His body started to tremble. Itachi's hand twitched to reach out to comfort him but she stopped herself.
" Do not think of the past and confuse it with your teammate or what happened with her. You did not rape her Sakura, and this is not your first mission." His back went so tense she regretted bringing it up at all. She sighed softly.
" We all do what we do for our village." Itachi said quietly then left him alone. She shouldn't have brought up that time. She hadn't thought about how it would hit him. It had been so long ago, but apparently he never forgave himself. They couldn't regret doing their jobs as Shinobi. The life of an ANBU wasn't as grand as everyone made it seem, she would know, she had been ANBU since she was but a teenager. ANBU was not all glory and good, ANBU did the dirty work that the village didn't want the rest of the village and it's ninja to know.
The not so good things. The killing, the stealing, the savagery, the brutality. It was not something to be proud of, but it was not something to regret. They did what they did for their missions, for their village. If you hated yourself for every act of cruelty you had to do...then you would go mad.
Sakura's first mission had been a solo one, but Itachi of course knew what she had sent him on and how it had turned out. He was very good at his job as ANBU, but sometimes Itachi wondered if because he was a Medic, he wasn't cut out for the lives ANBU lead, and what they lived with. Of course being a medic however, he should understand very well the horrors of life. He had lost people under his own hands, he failed missions, he failed people, but perhaps it was different when he was doing good to start, but when he was doing something bad...maybe that was where he was different.
ANBU followed orders, and did nothing else. It was their jobs, and why they were ANBU.
Itachi returned to the room with a frown in place. Shisui looked alarmed that Sakura hadn't returned as well, and more alarmed by the look on her cousin's face.
Itachi didn't like the change in her cousin. She didn't like that Shisui was no longer the same. Not the same joking, teasing, grinning woman, Shisui didn't smile or flirt like she use to with everyone. No more teasing, no more grinning. Itachi didn't like it at all and it was all because Sakura. Whatever was happening between them needed to either get better, or be over.
Itachi was tired of seeing Sakura and Shisui like this. The fun and ease she felt around the two joking teammates was lacking, it made things too serious.
It wasn't comfortable when she was the leeway between them both.

Hours later:
" You look like hell. Sleep on the floor again?" Kankuro asked as she walked with him to the hospital. Saku turned his eyes to Kankuro with a slight smile.
" No. I had a bad dream." He looked to the clear sky, it was hot of course, but it didn't hinder him from wearing the ANBU uniform or the white lab coat over it.
" That sucks." Kankuro said. Saku snorted out a laugh. Kankuro smirked at him. She had cleaned his mood. His eyes took her in and he smiled slightly again at her.
" We spoke about my life, what about you? Why haven't you found anyone to settle down with?" He asked. Kankuro smiled at him with a wiggle of brows.
" Wouldn't you like to know." She teased. He rolled his eyes with a smile.
" Well... I guess the makeup turns them off." She said with a shrug. Saku turned his eyes on her face. It wasn't hard to see under the makeup and know she was striking. She though wanted to stand out. With Temari's blond hair and blue eyes and Gaara's bright red hair and teal eyes, and her...with her brown hair and eyes. No wondered she didn't think she stood out with both her siblings to compare.
" You don't need it anyway Kankuro, you stand out all on your own. Bright looks are overrated." He said and he would know with bright pink hair and bright green eyes. Her eyes found his.
" I would be happy to have normal hair and eyes. Sometimes the brightness isn't better, it's just different. I think what is beautiful is someone that has beauty when there is nothing about them that stands out. Beauty is what you make it, not what is found." Kankuro was looking at him oddly but not in a bad way he figured. Just thoughtful.
" Is that why you keep ignoring Gaara's attempts?" Saku jerked his eyes to hers in confusion.
" Attempts at what?" He asked puzzled. Kankuro looked startled then sealed her mouth in a firm line that meant clearly she had over spoken and would not reveal anything else.
Sakura stared at her for a long time before she hurried away after they got to the hospital. Saku stared after her bemused.
' What attempts?' He thought before entering the hospital He hadn't had much time after that to think on it, or anything else, because he was immediately pulled into work.

Konoha:
Sasuke stared down at the water under the old bridge with a frown marring her face. Her lips sealed in a tight line of displeasure. Her arms crossed under her breast as she leaned on the rail to peer down into the water.
She regretted doing what she had to Sakura. But she would do it all over again. It was the first time she had seen him mad at her for anything, truly. Sure he got displeased when she and Naruto fought or got hurt, but this time his anger had been because she had done something unforgivable and wrong, not because he was concerned about her.
She had never seen him angry at her like that, nor had she seen him so desperate for her to leave him alone, nor had she ever seen him aroused, not that way at least. It surprised her for more then a few reasons she rather not think about. It made her feel bad to remember the look on his face.
He hadn't been shocked she had been naked when he turned around, if anything he looked put out as if she was a child who had done wrong and he was tried of having to deal with it.
He frustrated her so much it aggravated her. She hated being treated like a child. She was only a year at most younger then him. Yet Saku always treated her as if she was four and needed reprimanding and constant care. She felt loved sure, but not in a good way. She felt almost smothered when he treated her like a child, but when he tempted to treat her like a woman, well he avoided her. It was like she couldn't have it one way or the other to his pleasing.
He either avoided her, or smothered her. He was exasperating and she didn't understand why he couldn't just have a happy medium and not smother but not stray as well.
It was like he was worried if she was out of his sight she would break, but then when she was treated like a woman he tried to stay away from her. She wasn't sure if it was because he was uncomfortable around her when he treated her like a woman, or if he rather not deal with her at all. She swore sometimes he was more moody then she was.
Though getting him to tell them what was wrong, or what was going on in his life was almost impossible, which was also annoying. Once he started training instead of being a fan-boy, he stopped sharing his life with them, he stopped spending time with them, and he drifted away.
Sasuke was also puzzled about why Saku seemed more familiar with Itachi then he should be, considering they had only met a few times that she knew of, that and that they had spend so little time together when they did meet those times, that she was bemused about how familiar he sounded when calling out for her to help him.
He had called her by her first name easily, and not Uchiha or Itachi-san or anything. Why would he know her so well? Had they spend time together and she not known about it? Of course Sasuke knew that he had spent time around Shisui, which also puzzled her, but she just figured it was because they had met because he was their clan medic and they had gotten along, maybe Itachi spent time together with them both, Shisui often dragged Itachi along with her every where else after all.
He also seemed closer friends with the Hyuuga then he should be, maybe not friends, but he seemed to be trying to spend more time with her. Was it because he wanted her as a lover? Or was it because some other reason? What other reason could there be?
Her eyes darkened then she caught onto a thought...what did Neji, Shisui, and Itachi all have in common?
ANBU.
But...that was impossible for Saku to be in ANBU. Surely he would have told them, not that Sasuke doubted he could get in, she knew his strengths, it was just...he seemed so busy with his medic duties.
Was that why he never had time? ANBU? Was that how he knew Itachi and Neji better then he should? It would make a lot more sense. Of course she would have to look at his arm to see if he had the tattoo. But...lately he had been more free. Did he quit ANBU? Or...was he suspended? Neji seemed to also be around more, are they teammates? Were they suspended for some reason together to make Saku search her out and try to spend time with her?
So many questions and she knew however she would never get the answers from him. He would probably never tell anyone his business, he seemed more withdrawn about his life then he had been when they were younger. He still was a brightness she was lured by, but there was something dark in his eyes as well. No doubt the painful life as an ANBU. She was surprised as a kind-hearted person and medic he would last that long in such a rough life choice as joining ANBU. How long had he been an ANBU?
He couldn't have hid it from her and Naruto a very long time.
Could he?
She sighed mentally. This was exhausting to think about. She kept going in circles. What she was really irritated about was that when he got home, she would have to apologize or else what happened could easily break their friendship. Maybe instead of listen to her mother about these things she should ask someone with more experience.
Sasuke nodded at that and pushed herself away from the rail to tract down their ever elusive old silver haired sensei.

End chapter:
This chapter got away from me. I made the mistake of being in a bad mood before I wrote it lol. It was hard to get back to upbeat after that but Kankuro did a good job at least. Itachi some how made it worse but you got to see that life as ANBU isn't fun and games and Saku isn't as innocent as he seems. ( does he seem innocent at all? Lol.) We've all done things we aren't proud of, it what Itachi was getting at, but it's Itachi she makes everything difficult to understand lol.
As for Sasuke, she does regret her actions, but you know Sasuke, she will never apologize the right way, so who knows what she'll do.
I'll try to lighten things next chapter, but you know this chapter had to be done serious wise. Can't be all humor after all, there are serious times in life.
As for Saku, yes he did have a sort of emotional/mental breakdown, but he recovers fast. Apparently triggered by him 'attacking' Neji. And of course Neji being well...Neji doesn't know how to make things better, maybe her talk with Shisui helped :D
Alright guys that was better , now we decide if Saku will be Dark, or Noble and I'm sure unless you don't read my end notes, you all understand what I'm saying Dark or Noble wise, if not go back a few chapters and read the notes you neglected to read!, otherwise we shall now find out who wins out!
It was close! But it will be...NOBLE~! I was unsure if you guys would stick to Noble or go with Dark since almost all of you either love Shika or Shisui lol. There was nine votes for Noble and six for Dark lol. So now that we got THAT out of the way! Tell me who you think Saku's third, and last, lover will be ne? I won't reveal who it will be for a long time off now so you still have time to vote if you haven't already!
You get to now pick from :
Gaara ( Three votes thus far)
Kankuro ( None A)
Sasuke ( None!)
Sai ( Five votes! HOLY CRAP! XD)
