--
Sakura was known for her quick thinking, but this time, she struggled to think, let alone say something. Her father had always scared her; he had left her mother when she had given birth to Hanako.
Sakura and her mother was relieved when he had left, but Sakura always knew her mother held a soft spot for him, they had been married for a long time and Sakura supposed her mother would always love him, no matter how bad he treated her.
"Sakura?! Hurry up and give me the money!" her father seethed, making Sakura flinch and whimper, trembling.
That voice in her head made her stop for a moment. She had always called that voice inner Sakura, and most of the time she was annoying.
What are you doing you fool!? Beat the shit out of this arsehole! He's fucking drunk; you could beat his arse into the ground!!
This time, the voice was right. She had taken karate lessons when she was younger, and her dad wasn't especially strong, definitely not when he was drunk.
Sakura schooled her face into a blank mask, "father, I'm not scared of you anymore!" She sneered, eyes reflecting her determination and strong-will.
Her father gave her one of those smiles he had always reserved for her when he would take her out, when he wasn't drunk and he was happy, cooing over her mother and calling Sakura his pink-haired princess.
She didn't waver this time, she knew the extent of his niceness, and she shook her head. When she heard his growl, instinct told her to move swiftly out of the way of the punch she hardly saw.
Apparently, inner Sakura was wrong; her father had seemed to get stronger over the years. His kick took her by surprise, eyes widening as she hunched over, desperately trying to breathe.
He laughed at her as she heard her mother scream her name, yelling at her father to stop. She cried out as she was hauled up by her hair, eyes slightly watering as she breathed heavily, looking up into dark eyes with her own watering ones.
"You're a weakling!" her father slurred, throwing her into the wall. He then proceeded to grip her arm so forcefully; bruises were already growing on her flawless skin.
She bit her lip so hard she felt it throb and blood slowly drip from the small wound, she twisted out of his grip, trying to upper cut him, but failed as he gripped her hand in his larger one.
The rest was like a blur, she felt the punches her father dealt to her face only slightly, she got in a few good punches, but it seemed it didn't faze him in the least.
She slumped to the ground from his last punch, staring at him with tears running down her cheeks. The money, by now was scattered across the floor. She saw him slowly walk towards her, and then, his leg was moving, aiming for her abdomen.
She closed her eyes, still hearing her mother screaming and her little sister wailing. She frowned, why couldn't she feel that familiar feeling of not being able to breathe, the pain of being kicked? Why had it suddenly gone silent?
Slowly, she cracked an eye open, only to open the other quickly in shock. Her father was on the floor, his eyes holding fear, blood running down his lip.
She turned her head to see the figure of Itachi as he stared at her with a raced eyebrow. "Sakura, sorry I didn't get here sooner." He said simply, walking towards her, though it was more like he was floating with the way he walked.
He bent down and picked her up gently. Weakly, her arms slid around his neck, whimpering silently as some of her bruises and cuts were pressed against. "Shikamaru, get rid of this man for me." Itachi murmured, looking at the money.
"You want to leave the money here for your mother?" He asked, at her nod he walked towards the door, looking back at Sakura's sobbing mother. "Here's some money to pay for the damage this man caused." He left some money on the counter before walking out, leaving Shikamaru to deal with the man.
Once he got inside of his car, he nodded to Sasuke to drive. He looked down at Sakura, her eyes downcast. "What just happened?" He asked softly, one hand slowly running through her hair.
Sakura sniffed, "he's my father. A drunkard." Was all she said, unconsciously snuggling closer to Itachi's warmth; making Itachi's lips curve into a half smile.
He nodded, "very well. Once you're back at my house I can get you cleaned up." She supposed the conversation was over.
You got owned!
'oh shut you stupid inner voice, don't make me kill you.'
She was left with silence.

When they got back to Itachi's house, he carried her to his bathroom and set her on the toilet. He got out a few things for her cuts, cleaning them and then putting a bandage over them. He put on a special cream for her bruises, making her wince slightly.
"The bruises should be gone by tomorrow." He stated, washing his hands and then putting the stuff away.
"Itachi-kun…how did you know where to find me, let alone know to come?" She asked timidly.
Itachi stared at her, "Ino told me the directions, I came because I was going to pick you up and take you straight to dinner, I suppose I'll just get one of the maids to cook dinner." He answered, softly taking her hand and leading her into the bedroom.
"I got Ino to go shopping for you, here, wear this tonight." He showed her a simple white dress that looked innocent enough. "Arigato…" She whispered, moving to hug him lightly.
Itachi patted her head softly before moving out of the room, intending on getting some dinner cooked.
--
The week past slowly, the only things Sakura could really do was go out with Itachi or go shopping with Ino. She hadn't seen Neji since she had gotten her money, but she didn't mind much.
She had found a little out about Itachi, but not much. He was still the mystery of the century to her.
It was now the day they were going to go down to the beach! Sakura was getting her things ready, while Itachi, Sasuke, Naruto, Ino and Shikamaru waited for her. Finally, she got everything ready and ran downstairs, grinning at her friends.
"Let's go!" She yelled, definitely happy about going. She hadn't done much and going to the beach sounded like such fun!
Itachi led them outside and they all got into their cars, Naruto was riding with Ino and Shikamaru while Sasuke rode with Itachi and Sakura.
Sakura got her sunglasses on and got the window down, her long hair blowing with the wind.
"Sasuke, is Gaara-san still coming to pick up those katana's?" Itachi asked, glancing at Sasuke through the mirror.
"Yeah, he's coming on Monday, I should think." Sasuke murmured, looking out of the car window, absently watching people pass in a blur.
Sakura raised an eyebrow at Itachi questioningly. "Katana's? Gaara? What, do you own a business for swords or something?"
"Weapons." Itachi corrected her, smirking playfully. She slapped his knee lightly, pouting cutely. She crossed her arms over her chest, bobbing her head to the music.
--
Sakura squealed as Itachi splashed her with the cold water, her pink bikini doing nothing to save her. She scowled and then splashed back, giggling as she hit Itachi in the face. Everyone was in the sea, Naruto was arguing with Sasuke as they both dunked each other under the water and Ino and Shikamaru were making out.
She gasped when Itachi suddenly disappeared; she looked around, eyes narrowing. "Oh no you don't, Itachi!" Sakura mumbled to herself, quickly moving from her spot. She yelped loudly, feeling a hand grab the back of her bikini bottoms, pulling so she came against a smooth, hard chest.
She inhaled sharply as she felt Itachi's other free hand slowly make its way up her belly. "You know, I really think we should copy Ino and Shikamaru. Just make it more….sensual." Itachi whispered huskily in her ear, making Sakura breathe in heavily.
He nipped at her ear, leaving little angry marks on her skin. Sakura turned around in his grip, staring into his emotionless eyes before closing her own and leaning up, kissing him softly on the lips.
Okay this is fine, this feels fine…it feels rather good, actually. This is my…job I have to do this…
Sakura wrapped her arms around Itachi's neck, hardly feeling the cold water anymore. When she felt Itachi's tongue probing against her lips, she let slip a moan and opened her mouth to him.
She pulled back, panting against his panting lips. "You're so cute when you blush." He stated, before wickedly plunging her under the water. When Sakura came up, she screamed in absolute fury, anger rolling off of her in waves, literally!
"Itachi!" She yelled, looking around for him. He was nowhere in site! And I was just getting used to the idea of being his fuck toy!
She got out of the water, scowling. She plopped down on her towel, deciding to get a suntan. She kept a close eye on everybody though, smiling and giggling here and there when Naruto did something funny or just plain stupid.
She frowned as she sat up abruptly, watching a few beautiful girls go talk to Itachi. They giggled and swooned, playing with his hair while cooing.
Sakura growled lowly when Itachi let it happen, he was just sitting there, in the water, letting those girls do it to him, and with a smirk!
Sakura got up and walked away briskly, heading towards the car park. She blocked out the sounds of Naruto's shouts and Ino's whining. She just kept moving. Okay, so maybe she was acting a little selfish, a tad bratty, but really, why in the world would he let girls do that, let alone stay around them!
And that's when she felt the large, familiar hand on her shoulder, spinning her around and crushing her against a firm chest.
AN: Ah sorry about the late update, I have no inspiration for this fic! And I'm really thinking about maybe ending it with SasuSaku; we'll just have to see.
