'Do you remember who you are'

Jhene Aiko

It was nearing midnight when the pink haired medic from Konoha made it home. The poor twenty-three year old had just finished pulling a double shift at the hospital with no break whatsoever but never the less,she was happy to be home. As she stuck the key into the lock,she noticed a light illuminating from their bedroom.

"He shouldn't be home for a couple of hours" Sakura thought as she opened the door and stepped in.

"Itachi" Sakura called out as she closed the door and discarded her jacket on the near-by couch. With no answer she retreated to the back of the house. Looking in the bathroom,she found it empty. Just like the laundry room and the guest room. Once she had made it into their bedroom,she saw him sitting on the edge of the bed staring intently at his hands.

"Itachi" She spoke softly causing onyx to look up and meet green"Is everything okay"

Itachi nodded

"Are you hurt" She asked walking towards him.

Itachi shook his head as she stopped in her tracks

Sakura smiled at him"Well could you eat before you turn in for the night"

"Work?"

Sakura's smile fell and she shook her head "No,for some God awful reason your father has called a clan meeting and with you not coming home for a couple of hours,He or rather your brother told me I needed to be there"

Onyx eyes narrowed as he slowly got off of the bed,meeting the kunoichi and cradling her in his embrace. It took no time for her to return the gesture because she would usually be the one giving him these kind of hugs when her emotions were all over the place, and he would simply stand there with his arms hanging limply at his side.

"Wait" Itachi muttered into her hair,sending a warm vibration throughout her body.

Sakura nodded in his embrace before he loosened his grip on the woman,grabbing a set of clothes before heading off to the bathroom. Watching his retreating form,Sakura couldn't help but wonder what going on in Itachi's mind at the moment. She figured it had to been something to rattle the elder Uchiha . Changing out of her clothes,Sakura quickly replaced her medic uniform with a mid sleeve top and black pants just as Itachi emerged from the bathroom clad in all black attire. Sakura watched on as Itachi eyed her for a moment before heading towards the front of the house with Sakura following suit.

Once they were in the kitchen/living-room area,Sakura softly nudged him. Itachi glanced at her and then followed her gaze into the kitchen.

"Eat Itachi"

Itachi breathed slightly knowing that the woman was resilient when it came to him eating and being in proper health. He walked into the kitchen and reached into the fruit basket and grabbed an apple. Holding it up to her,He watched as her eyes narrowed before he grabbed another one. Seeing that the woman was satisfied for the moment,He walked back over to her side. Just as she was about to make the appropriate hand-sign, One of Itachi's long hand gently grabbed her wrist,causing Sakura to look at him.

"Let's walk"

Sakura eyed Itachi like he had grown another head before collecting herself and nodding slowly. Grabbing her house keys,the couple left their home. As they walked towards the Uchiha district,Sakura was questioning Itachi lightly about the details of the mission,that he had just came from. Even though he only answered with nods and the shaking of his head,She was glad that the mission went pretty well so far. They found that the streets of Konoha deserted as they traveled by several homes and businesses and for that Sakura was glad. She didn't really want anyone approaching Itachi after such a dangerous mission for their safety and his. As they continued to walk,a light brush of wind passed the couple causing Sakura to shiver slightly and wrap her arms around herself. She knew that she was forgetting something when they were leaving out the house and it was too far for her to turn around and get it and pretty hazardous to use her chakra,when it was already low.

Sakura breathed loudly before Itachi shuffled slightly,Soon Sakura found herself engulfed in Itachi's jacket. She looked up to him,only to find him staring straight ahead.

"Thank you"She slightly smiled.

Itachi's long fingers soon found her and he clasped them together,causing Sakura to stop dead in her tracks and onyx eyes to roam over her.

"You're holding my hand" She breathed as she tried to flush the blush off of her face."You never hold my hand in public"

Itachi sighed softly before he pulled her closer to his chest "Some change is good"

Sakura's face lit up like the fourth of July as they continued to walk towards the Uchiha district. It wasn't long before the couple made it to the Uchiha District, and towards Itachi's childhood home. Once they were inside of the room,where the meeting would take place, Sakura was sure that Itachi was going to let her hand go soon but was sadly mistaken. He helped her into her designated place and then took a seat directly beside her.

"Shouldn't you be up there with your father" Sakura whispered as several eyes fell upon them.

Itachi shook his head all the while holding onto her hand. "My place is with you"

For the second time that night,Sakura had to fight the blush off of her face. She had never seen Itachi lay this kind of claim on her unless his father,other clan members, or anyone for the fact decided they wanted to speak poorly about herself and as much as she wanted to beat anyone who said something about her,it took Mikoto's words to snap her back into reality.

He is a man with few words most of the time but when he becomes silent,that is when they know that he's the deadliest. Itachi isn't the type to watch while they talk about someone he loves.

'He acts silently not verbally' Sakura thought as the few remaining men walked into the room.

Sakura didn't know how long it was before the weight of working all of those hours ,with only two naps, came hitting her full force and within an hour the medic was sleep. Sakura was drifting in and out of lala land when she could feel herself being softly shaken out of sleep. Green eyes opened slowly only to meet onyx. Blinking once,then twice, and then three times,Her eyes quickly focus on the figure in front of her. Itachi.

"So I wasn't just dreaming that you came home early" She smiled as she bit back a yawn. He shook his head.

"Itachi,Sakura"

The couple turned only to be met with Itachi's mother "I know that you two have had a long day,why don't you two call it a night. You can go into Itachi's old room"

Itachi nodded as he helped Sakura stand from her seated position, and then getting up himself. Itachi let out a small bow before he exited the room with Sakura in front of him.

"I'm so tired" Sakura muttered as they stepped out of the room."I just wanna sleep for days"

Grabbing a hold of Sakura's hand,Itachi quietly led them to his old bedroom. While on the way there,Sakura's brain couldn't help but to wonder what had gotten into Itachi lately. As much as she appreciated all of this kindness and love he was showing her,She couldn't help but think that there had to be a good reason for him being like this and as much as she wanted to find out. All her body wanted was a comfortable bed to sleep in and him to hold her all night long. Itachi slid the door to his bedroom opened and let Sakura into the room first. Closing the door,he watched as she sat on the bed and laid back breathing a sigh of relief. He made his way over to his dresser and pulled out a black t-shirt with the Uchiha symbol on it and a pair of shorts. He walked back over to Sakura,who was fighting her sleep and handed her the shirt.

"Thank you "She lightly smiled as she quickly change, with him following suit. Soon darkness filled the room,with only moonlight shining through the window. Just as Sakura was getting ready to drift into her sleep Itachi's voice filled her ears.

"Sakura"

"Mmh"

"I love you"

Green eyes widened before she quickly turned in his direction. Even though she barely see him and he could barely see her,He could probably guess that she was staring at him shocked. Never in all of the years of her being with this man, She couldn't remember the last time he told her that he loved her. Even though she would tell him that, he would always tell her he knows before placing a soft kiss on her head.

Sakura could feel her heart beating loudly in her chest."Why tell me this now"

"Because I've realized that nothing is more precious that waking up to your beautiful face and seeing it when I lay down at night,even when I'm not with you."

Sakura couldn't help the smile on her lips.

"Do you remember" He asked

"Remember what" Sakura asked

"Do you remember who you are to me" He asked

"Yes,I remember who I am to you because I will always remember"

Itachi smirked as he reached under the sheets and pulled up her left hand. Bringing it up to his lips, He kissed it before putting it down and placing his lips onto her's.

"You better Mrs. Uchiha"
