Rainy Day.

Sakura smirked at Itachi. "I didn't think an shinobi like you would be afraid of a drizzle." She said in a mocking tone and crossed the curtain of leaves that separated the cabin from the rest of the forest, running toward the area where they trained.

Itachi smiled unconsciously at the attitude of the pink-haired girl who never failed to surprise him. He rose from where he was sitting inside the cabin and ran after her, not caring about the fine drizzle that fell on him, making his hair stick to the forehead.

Sakura smiled when she saw Itachi running towards her, taking a defensive stance he had previously taught.

He attacked without warning and was surprised when the little five-year-old girl dodged easily, but he did not counted that due to the wet floor the sandals slip making him fall with the butt on the floor, gushing mud everywhere.

Sakura watched the scene as if in slow motion and could not control the laughter that bubbled from the mouth, she placed a hand over the lips trying to hold back the laughter in vain.

Itachi recovered quickly, standing up and narrowing the eyes at her. "Did you find it funny?" The tone of voice he used would make Sasuke shudder, but Sakura laughed even louder, completely giving up trying to handle the fun she was obviously feeling.

"You ... It's just ..." She tried to babble, failing miserably. Bending slightly and holding the stomach that now ached because of the incessant laughter, Sakura did not notice that Itachi had moved, she discovered belatedly that he launched toward her.

Itachi knew she was distracted and seized the opportunity like a good shinobi by throwing the body at her, throwing them both into the floor that was now even mudder than before.

Sakura lifted the head from the place on the floor and frowned irritably, all vestige of the previous fun completely gone. She pouted and grumbled. "Cheater."

Itachi stared at the little muddy girl next to him on the floor and it was him who could not contain the laughter this time. He lost the breath as he rolled in the mud with her. He wanted to say that she was adorable with that pouting and annoyed face but the words did not come out, which he thought was good because Itachi was not accustomed to expressing his emotions and thoughts.

Sakura stood up quickly kicking a puddle of water toward Itachi making the laugh cease. After this courageous act of the little girl, a war broke loose between the two brave warriors, filling the clearing with laughter and shouts.

After hours of rain they returned to the cabin where Sakura took Kuro and tucked it under the raincoat. "I need to feed him when I get home." She told Itachi that was behind her. Turning to the crow that was well hidden in the raincoat she began the babble that left Itachi amused. "You're hungry are not you? I bet you are! I'll take good care of you. I promise I'll be the best mama you could ever have..."

Itachi stared at her for a few minutes while Sakura chattered non-stop to the poor crow and thought how different they were from each other and what impressed him most was that he liked it very much.

He was taken from the reverie by a light kiss on the cheek that made him widen the eyes in surprise.

"Bye bye, Tachi-kun. I had a lot of fun today." Sakura stated with a bright smile and ran out of the cabin leaving Itachi still surprised whit the hand on the cheek where she had kissed.

Note: I want to thank you immensely to Reihime for giving me this idea of an Omake.
