Itachi stood and slowly walked out of the cafe. He shook his head wandering what that voice could have done, what would it take to get Sakura back. He got in his car and started it when a song came one that brought him out of his thoughts.

I wanna meet up with you

And show you what I'm thinking

I'll take you anywhere

That you wanna go

I'm sitting here bored and lonely and

You know that anytime you're free

To show me how you feel

I'll take it anywhere that you want to go

Anywhere that you wanna go

He drove thinking over the words that echoed in his brain.

And I'd make it right if you wanted it

I want it back more than you know

I'd cross the line if you wanted it

I want you back

And I'm waiting for you

To get that feeling once again

Reunited in the end

And I've been waiting for you

To capture my imagination

Cuz I've been fooled by the illusions in my head

In my head

Now I realize I never had it so good

You took my anywhere I wanted to go

Now I'm sitting here dreaming of the days we led

Anytime I wanted I could show you how I feel

I can't go anywhere that I want to go

Anywhere that I want to go

And I'd make it right if you wanted it

I want it back more that you know

I'd cross the line if you wanted it

I want you back

And I'm waiting for you

I get that feeling once again

Reunited in the end

And I've been waiting for you

To capture my imagination

Cuz I've been fooled by th illusions in my head

In my head

He grasped the wheel tightly, knuckles turning white as the skin stretched over bone. He wanted her back, more than anything. He sped through the streets, rushing to get anywhere.

Sakura sat on her bed, she didn't know what to do. He was so close but she couldn't touch him, or talk to him. She wished she could take it all back, she'd rather live with the pain of no parents and be with Itachi than to have them and not be able to talk to him. She curled into a ball. She missed his kisses, touches, and kindness she missed him. Then she thought of the other part of what the voice said, he would die, this was the sacrifice she made so he could live. Maybe he'll forget her and move on to find happiness is someone else. She sighed as tears fell down her face, she was lost, never has she felt so alone. Not even when her parents used to beat her, she never felt this way before. It was like there was a pit deep in her stomach that never went away, it was slowly swallowing her. She had already noticed that she had lost a lot of weight, bones where showing that shouldn't be, he face was swallow and unhealthy her cheek bones protruding. Depression sunk into every pore of her body, and she couldn't stop it.

She slowly feel asleep, sniffling slightly. She was on a deserted road, walking in one direction aimlessly. She saw a head of her a car coming at her, speeding, she squinted against the beams of light and was terrified to see that the car was out of control. Just as a scream was to come out of her lips the car swerved and flew of the road, there was a monstrous explosion. She ran to the car to try to save whoever was in there, when she got a closer look she saw the driver was Sasuke, she gasped, before she panicked she pulled at him with all her might until he broke free of the wreckage. She laid him gently in her lap. "Sasuke? Come on Sasuke answer me?! Please!" She shook him sobs racking her body as she got not response.

Suddenly his lips were moving gently and she leaned down, trying to hear his words. She was shocked to hear the voice that spoke to her in the blue abyss. "This was his sacrifice. He would give anything to have you in his arms again little flower, he loves you more than anything even little Sasuke. The deal has been delt with, the boy is dead. But your sorrow will be no more, for this tragedy will awake the memories and set everything as it was. Tomorrow you will wake up at the Uchiha's, and your parents will be dead, as will Sasuke. Good bye little flower." The voice said and Sasuke disappeared.

Sakura jerked out of bed.

When Itachi finally made it home his mother and father were crying. "What happened?"

"Sasuke, h..he's dead!" His mother said through sobs.

Itachi's eyes grew large. "How? When?"

"He died in a car crash, he tried to get out of the way from hitting someone who was in the road, his car went off the road and into a tree, he was dead when the ambulance got there." His father explained.

Itachi was speechless, that was what the voice meant! He gave something away for something in return. He walked up to his room without saying a word to his parents, on the way there he past Sasuke's room, it was the same as he left it like he was still there. He walked into his room and sat on his bed, a bittersweet taste in his mouth. He lost someone he loved to gain another. He laid on his bed slowly falling asleep.

Sunlight fell on Sakura's as she slowly stirred from sleep. When she opened she saw Itachi sitting a short distance away from her bed. "Itachi what are you doing here?" She asked, she was confused.

"Waiting for you to wake up so that you could get ready for the funeral." He said somberly.

It hit then, like a ton of breaks, the dream, the voice talking through Sasuke's dead body. She shivered and looked up at Itachi. "Itachi please come lay with me, I need someone to hold me." She whimpered.

He nodded and walked over and slowly slid beside her on the bed, wrapping and arm securely around her wait pulling her closer. She snuggled into his chest as he buried his head he her pink tresses.

She sighed and remembered that everything that had happened when they were apart never happened, which made her think. "Itachi when did I get out of the hospital?" She asked.

"You fell into a coma for the last three weeks, so we had you brought here, since last night your condition became completely better and they where able to take all the machines off you." He replied.

She looked up at him with a small smile before gently placing a soft kiss on his lips, he reacted immediately and kissed her back with so much passion she couldn't hardly breathe. His hands gently came up and cupped her face, deepening the kiss, she returned it moaning gently into his mouth. Searching hands came to wrap around his neck, her finger slowly tracing little patterns on the back of his neck. He sighed softly pulling away and wrapping his arms around her waste and trailing little butterfly kisses along her neck and jaw. She bent her head back allowing him better access, she whimpered slightly when he stopped and looked back to her eyes. "Do you want this?" He asked gently nuzzling her neck.

She gasped softly. "Yes more than anything."

He kissed her gently. "I love you."

"I love you, too."

Itachi and Sakura stood by his parents as people gave their condolences, Sakura's mind kept wandering to the moments earlier with Itachi. She blushed at the memory of curious hands, and breathy whispers. Itachi's grip on her hand tightened as he smiled down at her gently. Hinata came forward and hugged everyone, whispering her apologies, Sakura knew the silent girl has liked Sasuke, and she was taking it as hard, maybe harder than most. Sakura looked out over the silent cemetery and wandered what would happen next. Everything that has happened so recently set her spinning,lyrics to a song that listened to the other day.

"So we start spinning

You wouldn't want to let us go that easy."

She sighed, nothing will ever be the same. She lost something and gained so much more, she watched the sun set, with new eyes, setting a fire the horizon and for once the world seemed full of so many possibilities and a promise of brighter days. She places a single rose on Sasuke's grave and looks up at Itachi. So ends the past and now the future starts.

The End

So that's it. Please review!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm thinking about putting a new story up soon, and please tell me if the songs fit the story well. Good bye and Good night!- Tabby
