When I woke up at 3:46 AM, it was not for a pleasant reason. I was kind of alone, but not really. The bed was empty, the sheets stiff, yet moist from my cold sweat. As I looked up, I noticed Itachi was gone from beside me, and Sasuke was at the foot of my bed, staring at me with his three Tomoes spinning wildly in frustration. Even before I looked down, I could tell my tattoo was flashing an angry red and my Itachi's was doing the same thing.

Did I just say "my" Itachi? Oh my Kami…I'll just see what's wrong with Sasuke now…

"Oh my gosh…What's wrong? Your Sharingan…"

"Dammit Sakura! He's taken everything! Everything I've ever had…now Itachi even got you…"

I sat up and realized I was still in my night gown from yesterday morning. Crawling down to the edge of the bed, I snaked my arms around his neck, capturing his pale lips with a chaste kiss.

"Just tell me everything Madera said, okay?" I wasn't sure if he noticed I didn't deny that Itachi had me. Sasuke had me too though…

Flashback

"Well, my young nephew, it seems we may talk in peace." Madera sighed as he sat on the ebony colored recliner. "We both know there is nothing we can do to stop the tattoo. You will just have to live with the fact that you just about drove your love into Itachi's ever welcoming arms. What a pity that dear Sakura wont be your bride." He finished with an evil smirk.

"She will be mine. I'll find a way to reverse the Jutsu."

"Oh, Sasuke…I'm sure even you know that there is no way to reverse the tattoo. And I'm positive you know that if you attempt to do so, you will receive severe chakra depletion and your heart will stop."

"Well, I'm sure as hell not going to sit back and let Itachi steal Sakura away from me, just like everything else!"

"I don't believe you have a choice. Now, I'm going to shower up, say goodnight to the husband and bride-to-be, and be on my way. Oh and, Sasuke?"

"What?" he snapped.

"Don't try to take Itachi away from her…you may get some results that are…..unexpected. No matter what you think." the old Uchiha chuckled as he left the room.

"Dammit, Madera! I will find a way…" Sasuke whispered.

After clambering up the grand staircase, he finally got to my room, opened the door to find Itachi and myself tightly locked in each other's embraces. Itachi's hands were placed with one on my lower hip beneath my night gown, the other cupping my left breast. My arms were placed over his chest, my right leg swung over his hip. We fit together like puzzle pieces. All in all, it was a very erotic sight. Now, Sasuke's eyes were spinning like wildfire, the Tomoes not even visible, just a dark blur against the scarlet.

"Shit! I leave for an hour and I see my Brother groping my fiancé!" Sasuke didn't notice that he had woken his older brother up with his yelp. Peeking one eye open, Itachi replied to him.

"I don't believe she's yours anymore, my foolish little brother."

"Of course she's mine! I'm the one who proposed!"

"What's a proposal without a tattoo?"

"……"

"Exactly. It doesn't matter who popped the question. The only thing that matters is who popped her cherry. Have you made her sound like this, little brother?" Itachi squeezed the breast he was holding, making me arch my back so I was closer to him and let out an exquisite moan in my sleep. I had no idea I was being violated by fiancé number 2. Or that I liked it.

"Let her go! She's only doing that because she thinks its me who's touching her…Sakura has had a crush on me for over 10 years. We've dated for 5. She wants to keep her virginity for marriage…just let her go…" Sasuke wanted to cry. He could not show any weakness in front of this, this thing. He knew he couldn't chidori Itachi because it would hurt me…Fiancé number 1 was forced to beg.

"Oh really? She's saving herself for marriage? Because Sakura seemed all too eager tonight."

"No…You-You didn't. It was only an hour…Basterd. Get out!!!"

"Hn. Whatever." Itachi got up from the left side of the bed, wearing only a pair of pants and a light grey under shirt. Before leaving, Itachi Uchiha whispered something is his little brother's ear:

"The tattoo will stay in place, foolish little brother. You can't stop it. I wont let you."

End of Flashback

I listened to the story attentively. "Hmm"-ing when appropriate, nodding as he continued, only to ask one question when he finished his story of the previous events.

"Wait, Sasuke-kun. It seems like he was only teasing you. Why are you getting so worked up about this?"

"Sakura…I realize that the tattoo has made you a bit…ugh, but he freaking molested you. How am I getting worked up?"

"Sorry Sasuke-kun…" I frowned. I was supposed to be comforting him, not making his pain worse. I just couldn't stop the words from coming out of my mouth. "I need to go see Itachi-kun."

As I got up, as though on auto pilot, Sasuke's Sharingan shut off. I could literally feel the disappointment radiating off him. As I left the room, I gave fiancé number 1 a tight hug, then closed the door.

When I finally found Itachi, he was in the kitchen. Not the dining room, an actual kitchen. He looked to be contemplating a lot of things. Maybe it was the situation going on, maybe it was the color of his new fingernail polish. I never found out.

"Itachi-kun?"

"Hm? Oh..Sakura-chan. What are you doing up? My foolish little brother didn't kick you out too, did he?"

I sat down at the small table to the right of him. "No..Sasuke-kun didn't kick me out. You just upset him and I couldn't deal with it." No one talked for a moment.

"Well, that's a shame. Could we talk about something other than Sasuke? He's been getting on my nerves."

"Umm ok. So tell me about yourself. We will be getting married soon I guess."

"Well, Sakura, I believe you should know that I like Sakuras."

"Excuse me?"

"Sakuras. Cherry Blossoms?"

"O-Oh. Right." I slightly blushed for no reason. Yes. NO REASON. "Continue."

"I love the way their gentle grace guides them threw the wind. Their lovely pink color, the same as your hair, How they always seem to find me when I need them most. Just like you."

"Did you just compare me to a flower? I am a strong Kunoichi. I don't need to be taken care of."

"Ah but neither does a cherry blossom. They always come again no matter what, do they not?"

"Only in the right conditions."

"And a Kunoichi knows when the conditions are right. When she must make her move." Itachi moved his hand to cup my chin. "Are the conditions right, Sakura?"

"Sakura, I'm sorry…I know your stressed about Itachi and me saying- What are you doing?" Sasuke walked into the room, effectively killing the mood we had.

"No. Now is not the time. I-I'm just going to go to sleep. I'll see you in the morning Sasuke-kun. Itachi-kun."

This was way too confusing.. Less than a day and this tattoo has already screwed up my peaceful life. I only wonder what the rest of the day will bring.
