Hey everyone. Just a few days ago, I stumbled upon the manga called Hana no Akuma. After reading all 42 chapters in one day (since I have no life), I fell in love with it. ViviHana is so cute and I wanted to write a story based on it. Of course Sakura was going to play as Hana but I didn't know who to put as Vivi. At first I was thinking about making it Sasuke, but then there are a lot of stories with Sasuke as the main demon guy. Then I thought about using Sasori since he never aged just like Vivi, but then I didn't think it would work. Then I remembered most of my readers always wanted me to write a story about ItaSaku. So this is for you, readers. Please enjoy.

Sakura no Akuma
Seventeen years ago, Itachi, a demon, decided to leave the demon realm and come to the human world. There he found an abandoned baby and on a whim decided to keep it. Since then, he has lived together with Sakura…but having a 16-year-old girl around you, is it really that simple?

I could clearly remember that night…
The night where I met the person who would mean the world to me...
"Hey, stop the car" the person in the carriage said. Itachi Uchiha was coming home from a day of errands as he was heading to the castle he had bought in a town called Konoha. While looking out the window, his eye had caught something in the road. He immediately told the carriage driver to stop as he hopped down on the snowy road. Using his walking cane to lift up his top hat, he saw a baby with pink hair crying in a basket wrapped in a white blanket.
'What is this tiny thing?' Itachi questioned himself.
That was the second winter since I've come to live in the human world…
I thought it would kill some time…
"Welcome back Itachi-sama!" Haku, his butler greeted him. He had short black hair and dark brown eyes. Itachi knew him since he was ten. He froze as he noticed what Itachi was holding. "That's a human baby?! How did you get it?!"
With an emotionless face, the master of the castle answered. "It was left at the gate where I picked it up." Itachi was holding the infant with his cane as a maid came behind him to take off his trench coat.
"I-In such a cold day?! It was probably abandoned…" Haku said in a sad tone.
"I regretted it two seconds after I picked it up" Itachi muttered as the baby continued to cry. Haku took the baby in his arms as he tried to make the child stop crying. Itachi stared at the infant irritated. "Why is it crying so much?"
"There, there!" Haku said softly to the baby. He soon looked up at Itachi. "Maybe it's hungry?"
The baby in question soon stopped crying as it opened its eyes for the first time since Itachi picked it up. Itachi watched surprised as the baby's beautiful green eyes looked at him before it began to giggle.
"Hm, smiling at a demon huh? That's pretty gutsy" Itachi said holding the baby up by the blanket. Haku smiled. It seemed like the master liked the baby.
"This is what it probably means when people say smile like a flower" Haku said.
"A flower? Haku, the plant you're raising on earth doesn't look like this though." Itachi said.
Haku sweat dropped. "It was just a figure of speech, Itachi-sama"
Itachi used both his hands as he lifted the baby up in the air. It giggled even more as its small chubby hands tried to reach out for him. "A flower, huh?" Looking at the baby's soft pink hair and green eyes, it soon clicked.
"Alright, I've decided. I'm going to name you Sakura"
To me, life on earth was pretty boring, but I thought this would be a good way to kill time…
If she became troublesome, I can just abandon her as punishment…
That was my unconcerned attitude…

16 years later
"Remind me again why I'm outside again? It's too bright" Itachi said as Haku poured him some tea. Itachi looked the same like he had sixteen years ago. Haku, on the other hand, had grown out his hair to his butt and began to dress more feminine. His reason? Sakura needs a female figure around the castle besides the maids. Itachi was dressed up in a grey suit as Haku was wearing a forest green kimono with a golden obi to go with it. You could say Haku started to go into cross-dressing.
"Sakura wanted to have a tea party like usual." Haku said smiling. "Besides, she was about to throw a tantrum."
"You need to stop spoiling her" Itachi grumbled.
Haku continued to smile. 'He says that even though he's the one doing it'
"Itachi-kun! Itachi-kun look! Lots of roses!" Sakura said as she ran up to them and gave him her genuine smile. Sakura had grown up to be a very fine young woman. Her pink hair reached up to her waist as her green eyes were sparkling as usual. She was pretty short as she only reached up to his shoulders. Though he was annoyed with her when they first met, he became quickly attached to her after she smiled like a flower at him. She was…
Itachi smiled as she came up to him. She was his everything…
Haku's mouth dropped as he saw the roses Sakura was holding. They were the roses that he had been growing. "Sakura-sama! Did you cut all of those? The roses I grew?" Haku gawked.
Sakura sweat dropped as she tried to play it cute. "…I'm sorry. I'll give them to you" Sakura said as she threw them on top of Itachi. He watched as the roses touched him and sighed. Though Sakura was sixteen, she had a very childish side to her.
"Sakura, how many times do I have to tell you?" Itachi said. "Don't you understand?" He said as he grabbed one of the roses by the stem. The red rose began to wilt as it turned black. "If they touch us demons, flowers will wither."
"I know!" Sakura said as she sat down next to her beloved Itachi. "Itachi-kun is a demon! You haven't aged since I was a child, but you're actually a 200 years old grandpa."
"Who are you calling grandpa?" Itachi asked as he glared at Sakura. "Anyways, if you knew, why go through the trouble to bring me flowers?"
"It's okay!" Sakura said beaming at him. "I wanted to bring you flowers"
There never was a day when Sakura wouldn't give me that smile I fell in love with…
Sakura's apple green eyes widened when she noticed a petal on Itachi's head. Immediately, she went to reach for it. As a response, Itachi immediately avoided her touch. He plucked the petal off him as it crumbled. Sakura frowned as she crossed her arms.
"What's with the face?" Itachi asked a bit irked.
"Why did you avoid me when I tried to touch you?" Sakura asked.
"It's just your imagination" Itachi told her bluntly. A cool breeze soon passed as Sakura began to shiver in her light baby blue dress. Taking off his jacket, Itachi dropped it on top of her head.
"Haku, make sure Sakura finishes playing before night fall" Itachi said as he began to walk away. "It's too bright, so I'm going inside.
"Yes Itachi-sama" Haku said.
She was just supposed to "pass the time" but I'm scared now…
She asked me why I avoid her when she tried to touch me…
She should have understood the moment I told her what happens when I touch a flower…
When a demon touches a flower, it will wither away into nothing…
Sakura, your name says it all…
I'm scared that if I touch you, you too will wither away with just a touch of my finger…
