Hey lovelies, it's Lindsey. Finally posting another story. It's been a long time, hm? Almost or over a year. I haven't written much in that time, but I decided it was finally time to start something since I've recently gotten back into the habit of reading/plotting fan fictions.

Actually, to be quite honest with you I have only a vague idea of where this one is going and I have nothing set in stone at all. But what I do know, is that this will not be one of those stories where Sakura and Itachi will be all over each other and willing right away. I will aim to keep characters away from OCC-ness.

PROLOGUE TO: Finish What You've Started.

DISCLAIMER: I Do Not Own Naruto.

WRITTEN BY: Lindsey, duhh.

MAIN PAIRING: Itachi x Sakura

MINOR PAIRINGS: mentioned Sasuke x Sakura, Naruto x Hinata(of course!), maybe a few others.

SUMMARY: A fateful day brings a skilled kunoichi into the hands of the Akatsuki. Utilizing her as an expertise medical ninja, one of them happens to take a liking to her. Too bad she was asking for the exact opposite.

A kiss.

A caress.

A whisper of sweet words.

Roses.

Love.

That's what the person you have a future with should provide you, and in return you should be giving them they same romantic gestures. But when you are Sakura Haruno, there is none of that.

A bite.

A violating touch.

A whisper of death threats and warnings.

Blood.

Anger.

More accurate words to describe her current relationship with a man that she was forced to have a future with. There was nothing good about him. He was evil, dark, fucking emotionless as hell. Could it hurt him to show her a little compassion every now and then? The only passion they had was when they did a lovely tango in the field they fought on every now and then. He still beat her anyway. Even though she'd become a great ninja Sakura was nothing to an Uchiha. Underneath her pride was still a weak girl and he had decided to crash into her world in the worst possible way, take her pride, and beat her down with it until she had nothing left to be beaten with. This was not what she had had in mind when she excitedly whispered into Ino's ear that she'd finally be getting some Uchiha ass. She wasn't referring to this hell when she talked to her shishou about being held by a particular Uchiha, or that she wouldn't mind marrying him one day.

She was utterly in love with Sasuke Uchiha, not his static murderer for a brother.

So why was she still here?
