Hey, It's Slyvia.

I know I know, I really REALLY shouldn't be uploading any new projects but, I just had this little story running around in my head and couldn't resist posting it. Rated M for a good reason! Read at your own discretion!

Itachi and Sakura are OCC but, they're supposed to be! Non Uchiha Massacre!

Read and REVIEW!


"Sakura…." Itachi's smooth voice whispered, his lips slowly dragging across the top of her shoulder.

"Hmmm?" she murmured back, revelling in the warmth of the naked body behind hers.

"Have you told your teamates yet?" he finished. His silky lips tenderly sucked on her lower neck as his tongue darted out to taste the cooling perspiration glistening on her body.

"Hmmm…..no," she hummed letting out a small gasp at his large calloused hand sliding up her soft stomach.

"Hn," he sighed onto her skin, "why?"

"I just….haven't gotten around to it yet."

That was a lie. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell her teamates about her relationship with Itachi but, they were always so rude and overly protective of her that they scared off any guy she came into contact with. If Naruto's boisterous and over zealous threats didn't get to him then Sasuke's hard glare and Sai's connections with the most deadly squad in ANBU did.

"Sakura…..you said you would," Itachi said, resting his hand below her left breast and laying his forehead against her shoulder.

"I know," she quickly admitted, "but you haven't talked with your parents yet so-"

"Yes I did," he interrupted.

"What?"

She jerked her head to look at Itachi's cool and impassive eyes amusedly staring back at her own incredulous gaze. She knew the Uchiha clan loved and praised Itachi as a king and were highly suspicious of him forming any sort of 'bonds' with any shinobi outside of the clan. His dating of her wouldn't be well liked but, as he had promised, he would protect her from any of their scrutiny.

"I talked to my father yesterday," he quietly smirked. The lines around his eyes became more defined, his silent humour cornering her.

She resisted the urge to roll away from his embrace and pressed his statement further, "And?"

"Hn," he lightly breathed, "he was….pleased, to say the least."

"Really?" she narrowed her eyes at her raven haired lover and turned over in his arms, propping her upper body on her shoulder to look down at the Uchiha revelling in his mock victory over her.

He nodded, "he thinks this is a wise match……." He trailed, looking from her vibrant somewhat relieved eyes down her pale neck, hoping she would pick up on his hidden message.

"….I see," she whispered.

It was no secret why Fugaku Uchiha would approve of their match. She was the fifth Hokage's apprentice and a highly skilled medic ninja. She was regaled as the strongest kunoichi within the village and questionably in the entire five nations, even surpassing her mentor along with the other highly skilled shinobi of her team.

Itachi sighed and slowly trailed the arm resting on his bed mate's mid thigh slowly up her side. He didn't do half ways and one night stands and Sakura had been the first woman he ever found worthy to even look at let alone get close to and he found himself completely infatuated with the girl. Being a few years younger than him or her place on his little brother's team didn't bother him.

His father was casual and stoic when he told him of his relationship with Sakura Haruno. It was his expectation, in which he was slightly disappointed and mildly irritated that his father didn't disapprove or order him to end the affair but, without so much as a sneer or frown, his father had openly smiled and fondly nodded his head. Itachi knew his father meant well by graciously supporting his relationship with Sakura but, he also knew when he would tell his father about his pale pink haired lover, it wasn't just to let him know why he was sneaking off after missions or skipping out of lunches and dinners.

He fell in love.

The thought at first was ludicrous to him but, Sakura Haruno changed everything. His preconceived ideas of the world being a cruel and harsh place became lighter as he spent more time with the young woman.

"You know that has nothing to do with this," he softly spoke, trying to quell the rising stress his father's approval would bring on her.

"…I know," she replied.

A soft smile played at her lips as she leaned against Itachi's chest and pressed her cheek to his pectoral, bringing up her free arm to drape casually across his torso.

They knew what the Uchiha clan wanted from Itachi. If he was to start a relationship with a woman, it was for the sole purpose of the clan to bring about new and stronger members. Fugaku was merely acting on the clan's behalf by endorsing their bond and encouraging his son to act strongly in keeping his lover.

"……Do they…." She tried to sound casual and aloof asking about having to marry and start a family with Itachi but, the slight panic and fear she felt wavered in her voice.

"Not yet," he responded, craning his neck to lightly kiss the top of her head, "But it doesn't matter about them….."

He felt her nod her head against his chest and tightened his hold around her body. Marriage was a subject they talked about, even more frequently for the past few months but, Itachi knew Sakura wasn't ready for all that came with marrying into the Uchiha clan, especially with marrying the proud heir of its power and wealth.

A smirk quivered at his lips. Soon. Soon he would have his beautiful pink haired lover become his wife. His father's blessing was only the first step to his dream of marrying Sakura. He told her talking to his father was only to secure and openly admit their relationship without having to sneak around behind his clan's back but, it meant more than clearing the air with his father.

"You need to tell them," Itachi pressed, trying to keep Sakura from finding out his true purpose behind the sudden confessions.

"Well…..Sasuke's your brother so you sh-"

"No," he firmly stated, "you have to do it."

"But-"

"Sakura," he frowned down at the woman in his arms, "I kept my end of the deal, now it's your turn."

He smirked wider at the annoyed huff from the woman on his chest and gently stroked her bare back. She could be such a child sometimes but, he wouldn't have her any other way.

"….Fine," she slowly growled, "I'll tell them tomorrow, we have training in the morning."

"Hn," he nodded, quite pleased with his success in forcing her to admit their relationship to her teamates.

"You know they're going to overreact."

"I don't mind," he smiled, watching her pink head lift and her chin rest on his upper chest. Her jade eyes doubtfully looked into his onyx eyes, almost trying to instil some sort of fear into him.

"Naruto's going to try and kill you."

"I don't die that easily," he smirked, running his arm up and down her back.

"Sasuke's not going to be happy."

"What's new?" he smiled.

She wanted to retort and defend her teamate but, he had a point.

"Sai will forbid it," she tried not to laugh but, the idea of her usually naïve teamate standing up to Itachi amused her to no end.

"Hn, I don't take orders from him."

Apparently he was amused as well.

"Kakashi sensei and Yamato taichou-"

"Sakura," he heavily sighed, "just tell them."

"Tch," she rolled her eyes, "even you aren't that strong Itachi. You can't take all five of them on."

"Is that a challenge?" he quirked an eyebrow in small amusement.

"Maybe," she purred, slowly rising off of his chest and placing her two hands on his ribs.

With a soft seductive grin she threw her leg over his torso and looked down at the perfect man lying beneath her. Modesty had long since abandoned her as she tenderly ran her hands over Itachi's pectoral muscles, her finger tips gently flicking over his dark nipples eliciting an almost silent hiss from him. A few months ago she would've blushed madly at being so close with the Uchiha but, she'd seen every inch of his marble sculpted body and he hers.

His hands settled on her hips and moved in delicate circles around the lithe skin beneath his fingertips, "You're not afraid of them?" she innocently asked.

"No," he smirked. Her large jade eyes betrayed her feigned naiveté with the cloud of lust washing over her face.

"Not even a little?" she pressed quirking her head to the side.

He shook his head, completely in awe over the little vixen on top of him.

"…Are you scared of me?" she playfully asked.

He had to choose his words carefully. He couldn't be fooled with her oozing sexuality and had to asses that he was laying beneath a very strong and skilled kunoichi. He had seen what she could do with her monstrous strength on the battlefield and wasn't particularly indulged as to anger her, especially in such a compromising state.

He smirked, "No."

"Really…." She purred staring down into his challenging dark eyes, "Not even a little?"

"Not even a little," he replied as his hands slowly inched up her sides.

"Hmmm," she hummed, "maybe you should be."

He liked where this was going.

Before another word was spoken her lips were attacking his neck, sensual little nips with his pale skin caught between her teeth and playfully sucking on what little flesh she picked. His breathing quickened and he could feel his member throbbing painfully at what his little hellcat lover had in store for him.

Her soft breasts smashed against his chest, her nipples now hardened into fine peaks trailing over his broad muscles further excited him as her mouth moved up from his neck to the corner of his jaw and further up.

"Sakura," he whispered when her teeth gently bit his lobe and sucked on it, her breathing chilling his inner ear.

She lowly chuckled, a stimulating little laugh that would make any man fear for his life in the right situation or….any situation. The way her chest vibrated against his and the soft tenor of her voice further excited him and fuelled his erect member.

Her eyes locked gazes with his as her lips travelled across to his lips in a searing hot kiss. His hands quickly found their way into her hair, pressing her body down forcefully against his and his fingers threading through her tousled hair. She pulled his bottom lip between her teeth and gently sucked on the supple flesh as a soft moan reverberated through his body.

Their lips pulled apart as Sakura's breath became hard and laboured along with her lover's. Flashing a wide sexy smile she craned her neck down to kiss along his defined collarbone following its contour to the middle of his upper chest. With agonizingly slow movements, her lips dragged down his chest.

Itachi's eyed the voluptuous woman easing her way down his chest in slight irritation at how slow she was moving. He needed her now and wasn't prone to being the one on bottom. He was always dominant whether it be in battles or in the bedroom and he wasn't about to let his lover manipulate his body.

His large hands attempted to settle on her hips in order to roll them over and reverse the positions but, it seemed his pink haired goddess was two steps ahead of him. With a small seductive smirk, she caught his hands and pushed them above his head like he hand done so many times before to her.

"No," she breathed. Her meaning was soft and demure but he could sense the hidden warning behind it. One hand wasn't enough to hold both of his wrists up above his head and her eyes fixed hard on his, asking him to let her have her fun without any interruptions.

He sighed in defeat and slowly relaxed his arms in her grasp. With a look of fierce determination she went back to his chest, kissing her way over to his right nipple and encasing it in her mouth. His chest heaved at her burning wet mouth encircling his flat nipple and lightly took it between her teeth to give it a gentle tug.

His hands rested around her shoulders, his way of not knowing where else to keep them with his submitting position. Her mouth released his nipple and she quickly glanced back up at him. With a wicked upward turn of her lips she turned her attention back to his chest and her lips continued to drag down his chiselled abdomen, running her tongue along the ridges of his defined muscle and her appendage dipped in naval as she continued to creep down his body, her breasts smashing against his upper thighs.

He moaned as her hot breath tickled his lower stomach and looked down into her lively jade eyes. Whatever she had planned made his skin shiver in interest and amusement.

Being with the pink haired medic was certainly an adventure. There was never one day that passed Itachi didn't find something new to love about her and she was the same way. He never thought in a million years he would be laying in bed with his brother's teamate pleasuring him in the most gentle and yet sexiest forms imaginable.

But it had happened.

He'd seen Sakura many times before training along with his little brother and the rest of her teamates but, he never took notice of the curvaceous woman. It wasn't until his routine mission had a few unexpected turns that he found himself in the hospital with his now pink haired lover tending to his wounds and scolding him for a acting so recklessly.

He remembered the long conversations in the hospital leading to more secret meetings in restaurants or at the training fields, both hiding their affair from her brotherly teamates and his highly authoritative clan.

The bedroom was unexplored territory for both of them in the beginning but, as the months dragged on in their relationship, it was inevitable.

His eyes lulled in the back of his head when her small petite hand encompassed his hard length, breaking him from his hazy lust. She slowly worked him, keeping her eyes focused on his until a soft smirk made its way across her slightly swollen lips.

In one fluid motion she took his member into her awaiting mouth, the hot cavern completely encasing his cock and making it tremble. His breathing quickly heaved and a strangled moan escaped his lips, his arms swiftly losing their stupor and flying to the back of her head, softly entangling in her hair and pushing more of him into her mouth.

"Sakura," he rasped.

Sakura smiled around Itachi's member and looked back up into his lust darkened eyes, almost sheer slits with how much pleasure she was giving him. In a bold act of daring, knowing having the powerful Uchiha beneath her and letting her do whatever she wanted to his body wasn't a frequent act, she let her tongue swirl around his length as she released it from her mouth. A soft growl of annoyance was heard from her lover staring down at her, angry that she didn't let him release yet.

She smirked to herself and took his length in her hand, working his member as the soft globes under his cock became visible to her. She licked her lips and took one of the sacs in her mouth, letting her tongue dance around the tender flesh. The buck of Itachi's hips almost threw her off his body but her arms held down his lower torso, quite pleased with his reaction she moved across the sacs and rhythmically pumped his shaft.

The burning coil in his stomach was too much at the new sensations the woman between his legs was giving and, as if sensing his release, her tongue stopped its ministrations on his sacs and quickly encircled his quivering member now dripping with cum.

She encompassed his length until it hit the back of her throat and felt his body shudder its release into her mouth swallowing every bit of his bitter sweet cum.

She lightly giggled at his panting body shivering in post orgasmic pleasure as she crawled back up his body and pressed her lips against his, her tongue rubbing against his until his breathing became too laboured and she broke their heated kiss.

"Itachi," she smiled, kissing his neck.

"Hn….." he murmured.

"Do I scare you now?" she jokingly teased, nipping at the skin covering his angled jaw and giggling at his soft moan.

"Hn," he softly chuckled, running his hands up her back and pressing her silky body against his.

Her jade eyes fixed on his, still waiting patiently for his answer as one hand snuck up around his face and trailed over his hard defined jaw line, tenderly running the tips of her fingers against his slick skin. A smirk played at his lips until her free hand slipped down his heaving chest and muscled stomach to take his now flaccid length in her hand, giving it a light squeeze.

He gasped at her tiny hand pumping his shaft and clenched his eyes shut when her nimble fingers dipped below his member to play with the soft sacs she had previously been sucking, softly rubbing them and mischievously smiling when his cock started to grow.

"Well….." she openly trailed, watching his onyx eyes slowly open.

"Hn," a leering smile crossed his features, "no."

Without another word he flipped their positions and slid into the pale rose beauty's dripping core, filling her awaiting body to the hilt and groaning at her burning hot walls tightening around his length, squeezing it within their slickness.

"Itachi," she rasped, her eyes sealing shut at being on the bottom with her lover starting to savagely thrust in and out of her molten hot body. She stared up into his lusting eyes and rocked her hips forward to meet his sporadic thrusts, slamming his length deeper into her body until she was reeling and close to the edge.

With another deep thrust, she let her body succumb to the burning coil of heat in her body and moaned her release, her cum flowing over her lover's cock wedged deeply inside her rippling body.

At feeling her come around his staff, he gorged him self in her body a few more times before surrendering to his own orgasm, lowering himself onto his lover's chest and breathing in her scent from their love making. He smirked against her soft pillowly breasts cushioning his face until Sakura's breathing slowed and her arms wrapped around his back, pressing his body to hers until the morning callously woke them from their peaceful sleep.


"Hey," Sakura shyly whispered, watching the five guys she had come to not only care for but love as her own family, "Can I talk to you guys."

"What's wrong Sakura chan?" Naruto asked his long hair matted to his sweaty face as he turned his bronze face over to look at his pink haired teamate sitting next to Sasuke and Sai.

"Nothing's wrong," she smiled.

"What is it?" Yamato prodded, leaning back on both his hands and stretching his legs.

"I….I," she looked down at the shards of broken grass between her fingers and took a deep breath. Sasuke looked over to his teamate and furrowed his brows as Sai's sketching pencil dropped from his hands. Kakashi's silver eyebrow raised as Naruto pursed his lips at what was so important that Sakura couldn't even look them in the eye.

"Is it a mission?" Sai questioned.

"…No," she shook her head, quickly looking over to the dark haired artist.

"Are you sick?" Naruto worriedly looked over her body, "maybe the heat?"

"No Naruto," she shook her head.

"Is it…girl things?" Yamato hesitantly asked.

"No!" Sakura grimaced, "I- why would I…never mind."

A collective sigh of relief passed over each member of her team's features and, if her news were a bit different, she would've laughed at them.

"What's going on Sakura?" Kakashi questioned shutting his orange book.

He exchanged glances with Sasuke and Yamato, knowing whatever news Sakura had, it had to be important.

"I…I'm kind of…..seeing….someone," she bit out. As soon as the words left her mouth she made the mistake of looking up at her five teamates.

'Oh shit,' she thought.

Naruto's eyes bulged from his head and his fists clenched the ground beneath him as he uttered small incoherent curses. Yamato's eyes narrowed as Kakashi's followed suit and his sharingan eye opened.

Sakura looked over to Sai's frowning face and back at Sasuke's raised eyebrow with an obvious snarl accompanying it.

"Sakura chan….who is he?" Naruto growled, standing up and looking across the training field.

"It's no-"

"How long have you been seeing him?" Sai asked, tapping his now found drawing pencil against his pad of paper.

"Well-"

"Where is he from?" Sasuke questioned, drawing Sakura's gaze back to her lover's brother.

"You can't date," Kakashi frowned, taking on the father role.

"What?" she incredulously asked looking over to her sensei.

"That's right," Yamato nodded, "so whoever this guy is, you tell him to get lost." He accentuated his remark by the fierce nod of his head and one long finger pointed in her direction, shaking with his brows furrowing against his narrowed eyes.

"Do we know him?" Sai pressed still tapping his pencil glowering at his pink haired teamate.

"It better not be fuzzy brows….I'll kill him if he- it's not Neji is it? Or Shikamaru…..Gaara? No….no not Gaara….Genma?"

At the mention of the ladies favourite Genma, everyone's eyes widened and stared straight at their pink haired teamate completely flustered by all the questions.

"Please Sakura," Kakashi shook his head, "please tell me…it's not him is it?"

"No," she viciously shook her head.

She thought the glares being thrown and the casual murderous gazes exchanged by her teamates would subside but she was wrong, if anything they intensified. It was no secret they hated the idea of her spending time with any other men who weren't directly related to job at the hospital or on a mission. Besides themselves, they never allowed her to 'date' men who they didn't find 'worthy,' in which they would consistently chase whatever suitors she had away.

"Then who?" Sasuke snarled, "We haven't seen him." They knew every man she would and could come in contact with and the chances of some other village's shinobi sweeping her off her feet was unlikely seeing as how there were no outsiders presently in the village with the chunnin exams ending a few months ago.

"Well….." Sakura trailed.

"We've seen him!" Yamato exclaimed.

"….Yeah," she admitted.

How could they all miss it? Five jonin of their incredible talents not being able to sense their most important kunoichi's new man was impossible. If they had supposedly seen this man then, how come they didn't pick up on her faint blush or awkward gestures?

"Choji?" Sai questioned looking over to Sasuke.

"No," Yamato shook his head, "he's with Ino. What about Shino?"

"Nope," Naruto furrowed his brows, "and it's not Kiba because he's going out with Hinata."

"It's-"

"Neji! You're seeing Neji?! Why Sakura chan? Why him?!"

"It's not Neji!" Sakura shouted.

"If it's not Neji then….." Sasuke trailed, pressing his hand to his chin and prodding his mind of all available male shinobi.

"Is he older than you? What rank is he?" Kakashi interrupted, "We need to meet this guy."

"You…kind of….have," Sakura shyly smiled, trying to dodge the various suspicious glances being thrown her way.

"Wh-"

"Hey." Team seven all turned their heads at hearing the smooth voice belonging to no one other than Sasuke's older brother. He smiled casually and looked gazes with each of them before looking over to Sakura's widened emerald eyes.

"Oh, hey Itachi," Sasuke nodded before turning his attention back to his pink haired teamate, "who is this jack ass anyway?"

Itachi's eye rose and he glared at the back of his brother's head.

"I swear I'm going to kill this guy! No one can touch our Sakura chan! Not without my permission," Naruto cried, looking over to Itachi's confused face, "Did you hear her? She's going out with some scum bag!"

"The….jack ass right?" his brow twitched as he looked back to his brother for confirmation.

Sakura's lips stretched in a fine line at Itachi's annoyance and resisted the urge to laugh at his twitching face.

"We have to find this guy…..he can't have Sakura," Sai sternly nodded to the rest of his teamates before pushing his drawing pencil into this back pocket and closing his sketchbook.

"Right," Kakashi nodded.

"Bastard……" Naruto snarled, "Did he touch you Sakura chan? He better not have let his filthy hands go anywhere near you!"

Sakura looked between the killing glances her teamates threw at each other and could feel Itachi's growling aggravation at being insulted. She knew he wasn't thrilled with how she was handling the situation but, it was just too damn funny to tell them now.

"I'll get Ibiki and we can interrogate this guy," Yamato gritted out through his clenched teeth, "We'll see what his real intentions are."

"If he even thinks of laying a finger on Sakura…..I'll kill him," Sasuke growled, standing up next to Sakura and looking down at his blushing teamate.

"Don't worry Sakura," Sai smiled, "we'll get this guy."

"You guys," Sakura sighed, "he's not a criminal, he's-"

"Yes he is!" Naruto yelled, "You can't just go out with any guy Sakura chan."

"Sakura," Itachi raised his eyebrow in her direction, giving her a pointed look.

"That's right….we'll get Itachi in on this too," Naruto nodded viciously, "I'll take the north side and Sai and Yamato take the south. Kakashi can take the east while Sasuke and Itachi go west, we'll meet up in a few hours!"

"Um…guys?" Sakura lightly giggled, "I don't think that's necessary."

"Yes it is," Kakashi frowned, "we'll be the judges if he can continue to see you."

"And we'll kick his ass if we don't like him," Naruto added.

"Um…no, that's not what I meant," Sakura shook her head, "You don't have to look for him."

"What?" Sasuke asked.

Without another word Sakura looked up into Itachi's clearly un amused eyes and let a long slender finger stretch out in his direction.

They all followed her gaze and direction of her finger and widened their eyes at the ANBU captain standing in front of them, "I believe he's north so……have at him Naruto," Sakura slowly struggled to get out before completely falling over to the ground and bursting out in laughter.

"You're…You're….." Sasuke stammered looking to his older brother for some sort of smirk and denying statement but found none.

"The jackass?" Sai finished.

Itachi's eyed the artist and sent a full sharingan glare at him before answering, "Yes."

"But…but…..but how?" Naruto stuttered looking over to Sakura's still hunched form shaking with laughter.

"Sakura!" Yamato snapped, "How?"

The medic looked to her taichou and smiled up at his reddening face. It wasn't like him to be easily embarrassed but, he clearly caught onto just how much they all were overreacting.

"We met at the hospital," Itachi cut in, crossing his arms over his chest.

"She meets a lot of men at the hospital brother," Sasuke glared, "what makes you so important."

"Hn," Itachi frowned at his little brother moving to stand protectively in front of his teamate.

"She healed me after a mission," the elder Uchiha finished.

"So?" Sai pressed.

"Guys…that's enough," Sakura sighed, standing up behind Sasuke. She started to walk over to Itachi's side, noticing his slightly relieved eyes but Yamato quickly stepped in front of her. Beside her taichou, Sai jumped to his left and Naruto blocked her right side of escape, cutting Itachi's form off from her view, "Stop it," she rolled her eyes at their matching frowns.

She looked back to Sasuke now standing behind her with an annoyed glare, "How long have you been….seeing him?"

"Umm," Sakura looked between her teamates hardened gazes and inwardly cursed.

"A year," Itachi sighed, breaking the thick tension surrounding his lover.

"What?!" Naruto shouted.

"A year? You didn't tell us…for a year?!" Kakashi incredulously cried.

"Gee I wonder why," team seven's pink haired kunoichi muttered under her breath.

"Why Sakura?" Sai stared into her jade eyes trying to look hurt, "why didn't you….you have to be careful and-"

"Itachi's a good guy Sai," Sakura cut in, "I thought you guys would be happy-"

"No!" Sasuke shouted viciously shaking his head and looking between Sakura's large annoyed emerald eyes and Itachi's cool and smug face, amusedly staring at his little brother's team, "I don't know what you're so happy about," he growled at his brother grinning visage, "mom and dad won't let you-"

"I already talked to them," Itachi answered, "and they approved."

"Well we don't!" Naruto shouted, "You can't-"

"Stop it Naruto," Sakura urged, slipping around the blond and walking over to Itachi's side.

Sakura looked up into her boyfriend's eyes thankful that he didn't put his arm possessively around her or try anything to further aggravate and anger her teamates.

"Come here Sakura, don't stand by him," Sai glared stretching his arm and motioning to his teamate to come back to them.

"Come on," Sakura lightly whined, "stop it guys. You know Itachi and-"

"No," Naruto soundly shook his head, "Sasuke knows Itachi….I don't. How do we know he's not some sort of….of….."

Her teamates stared wildly at the Uchiha, completely and utterly at a loss for what strange habit the heir to one of the most powerful clans could have. What could the youngest ANBU captain possibly have as a flaw?

"Damn….I've got nothing," Kakashi murmured, running his left hand through his wild silver hair.

"Me either," Yamato nodded.

"Are you five done yet?" Sakura asked.

"Why Sakura? Why didn't you tell us?" Sai wondered aloud.

"Because….I didn't want you guys to scare this one away," she sighed, looking accusingly between her five incredulous teamates, completely flabbergasted by the thought of 'intimidating' any men Sakura wanted to date.

"…We never scared them away." She had to give Sasuke credit for trying to deny her accusation.

"Yes you did."

"Well, well, they weren't right for you Sakura chan," Naruto shook his head, crossing his arms over his chest and hunching his shoulders.

"We're just trying to look out for you Sakura," Sai innocently stated.

What a piece of work her favourite artist was turning out to be. Sakura glowered at the dark haired shinobi and watched the other four heads of her teamates all nod swiftly at his statement, commending him on the nice little lie. They were trying to cover their completely inflamed egos but she wasn't stupid.

"Don't even try it Sai," she darkly snarled.

Itachi looked from Sakura's glaring face to her teamates. He'd never seen five jonin more frightened in his life than his brother and his teamates awkwardly fidgeting in front of his little lover. He knew there was more beyond her graceful smile and delicate gaze but, he thankfully had never been on the receiving end of the other.

"But-but-but Sakura chan!"

"No," she growled, glaring at the blond trying to cautiously approach her, "I'm tired of this guys. I appreciate your concern and am very thankful for it but," she sighed heavily, "it's getting out of hand."

"We're just trying to protect you Sakura," Kakashi stiffly replied, watching Itachi's arm sneak around Sakura's shoulders in a comforting push to continue and defend their relationship.

"I know Kakashi sensei," she nodded, "but…..I'm happy with him. Is that what you all wanted?"

They all looked at each other, silently contemplating their next move. Sakura had them cornered with their backs hitting the wall, stopping any further movements of escape.

"Well…..yeah," Sai whispered, pathetically looking up into his friend's eyes.

"So what's the problem then?" she frowned, placing her hands on her hips and staring at the five pitiable men standing in front of her, looking absently down at the ground.

They didn't speak and Itachi softly chuckled in victory. Sakura won and even though her teamates wouldn't approve of their relationship, there was nothing they could do about it.

"We're just looking out for you Sakura," Sasuke carefully bit out in his last attempt to save his four teamates.

"What do you want then?" she shook her head, "What is it that you want?"

"……He has to ask our permission," Naruto slowly spoke, looking toward the annoyed Uchiha standing across from him.

"Oh come on Nar-"

"Dickless is right," Sai smiled, "he has to ask us to continue to go out with you."

"That's not fair-"

"It wasn't fair for us not to know for a….year," Sasuke smirked, revelling in his brother's obvious irritation at their ridiculous demands. It didn't matter so much that Itachi and Sakura were involved with each other, quite the opposite. He knew his brother would only go with a woman who he found a strong connection to and, if Sakura was his choice, then she was as safe and protected as she could get.

"You have to ask us to continue seeing you Sakura," Kakashi nodded, drawing his four teamates into the same gesture.

Sakura clenched her fists. It would be so easy just to punch all of her teamates across the village and pound it into their thick skulls that they had no say in her relationship with Itachi but, she was running low on chakra and, as she had warned Itachi the night before, it was a five against one battle, well, two if Itachi decided to help.

"Is that what you all need?" Itachi broke the silence and looked across the line of Sakura's teamates, noting their growing smug faces.

"Yes," Naruto excitedly nodded.

"….Fine," he heavily breathed, "may I continue to see Sakura?" he asked, summoning up every ounce of dignity he had and throwing it away, watching it shattered with each knowing smirk adorning the five men who deemed themselves Sakura's temporary fathers faces.

"NO!" they shouted after waiting for his soft plea.


"I told you they would act that way," Sakura smirked up at her raven haired lover still irritated at the suspicion and insults her teamates threw at him. Sakura shook her head against Itachi's chest while his arm tightened its hold around her torso. They could still feel the malicious glares from Sakura's teamates being thrown at the back of Itachi's head and, if they had turned around to look back, they would still find each member of team seven standing at the hill top with their arms crossed staring back down at them.

"Hn," he mumbled.

It had taken hours for them to finally 'allow' their cherished kunoichi to not only leave with Itachi but date him. It was both extremely annoying and exhausting. Trying to reason with five elite ninja was no ordinary winning battle but, nevertheless, they came out relatively unscathed.

"At least they know right?" Sakura rolled her eyes up at her boyfriend, trying to hide the laughter his annoyance brought to her.

"…….Hn."

"Itachi…." She whined.

"What?" he softly asked.

A thin seductive smile stretched across her lips at her sharingan wielder's full attention. "Thank you," she started.

"Why?"

"You were very brave. There's not many men who could've stood up to the five of them the way you did."

"Hn," he nodded, returning the soft grin to his pink haired lover.

Still within distance of her teamates, she wrapped her arms around Itachi's lean torso, pressing her body as close to his as she could. Her lips curled in a sinful smirk as she stepped on her toes to press them to her smirking lovers, his own stretching into sensual grin catching onto her game.

Their tongues danced while his hand threaded itself into her pink hair and the other forcefully grabbed her rear and roughly pushed it against his pelvis to let her feel his growing arousal.

When their lips parted, she let out a husky breath against his ear.

"Why don't I show you how thankful…I really am."

His smirk grew and within a whirlwind of smoke they disappeared from the rest of team 7's vision.


Well, that's the first one shot. If I get enough interest I will post others that seemingly pop into my head. I thought this story was pretty funny and yet sexy at the same time, the lemon was a bit rushed but, don't worry, they'll be better next time!

See ya!
