When Sakura opened her eyes, she gasped as sudden a hot, unquenched burning thirst choked her throat as she woke up in the warm embrace of her lover. Startled, Itachi quickly took a defensive stance for a second before he realized his newly marked mate was currently gasping over something. Alerted, he tried to salvage the situation, but to his remorse, he was surprised by the sudden movement of his mate (Oh, how good to call his Sakura that) who lunged at him without much thought and licking and lightly biting his neck with a whining moan which was muffled because of his neck.

Upon realizing that Sakura was waiting for his approval, he gently buried his hand into her tresses; urging her to go on. As soon as she caught on his approval she swiftly took the blood she desperately needed from him. Peacefully, he held Sakura as she feed; not minding their nudity although he could say for sure that his mate would probably fussing over it and get embarrassed once her hunger was satiated.

As soon as this thought settled in he felt the same, unappeasable sudden thirst panged through his very core. He growled lightly to take control what's left of his sanity over Sakura's blood. In return, Sakura let out a small purr of consent as she still sucked his blood away.

He rumbled in refusal. There's a high chance of him losing control if he let himself feed the same time with her and he's still afraid of hurting her with his power.

She detached herself from his neck for a warning look before re-attached herself back and happily sucked his blood again. Sighing in surrender, Itachi let his fangs lengthen before he busied himself with feeding from her neck; all while maintaining his position so he won't disturb Sakura's feeding.

A purr of satisfaction vibrated in his chest at the taste of Sakura, the demon inside him hummed in contentment at the familiar feelings. As the time passed, he felt his thirst was too slow to fade as his eyes kept flickering between his normal gray-onyx eyes and his sharingan. Groaning out loud, he saw his kitten was currently felt the same thing as she clawed his back in fear of sucking him dry. He hugged her tightly against his body to soothe such thought when in fact, it should be him who worried over that.

He forcefully disengaged himself from the delicious heat and smell of her body at the same time she did the same. His hands warmly held her head as his fingers rubbed gently across her cheeks. Affectionately, he wiped the trail of his blood away from her lips. Understanding dawned upon them as uncontrollable need to touch, to mark and feel each other until they won't know whose skin is whose, began to drown their logical part of mind and let their more primitive, instinctive side made their appearance.

She let out a small challenging smirk to him before she leaped away from him. He watched predatorily as she winked sexily at him; with her right pointed finger lightly being bitten between her pearly white teeth.

He let out an amused smirk as he watched his mate tempted him.

Oh, she was in the mood for some play.

Well, he wasn't the type to displease his lover.

With a predatory gleam he lunged to her just right after she flee

Oh, this would be so much fun.

Right after their little…escapades, Sakura and Itachi quickly dressed themselves for that day, much to his chagrin. He really didn't mind on spending the rest of the day alone with Sakura at their new home. However, his mother have different opinion, even though his father has tried, rather unsuccessfully as usual when his dearest mother was dead set upon something, to change her mind.

He resigned himself in defeat. Just like his father, he has no power to not fulfill his mate's wish as long as it's not threatening her.

Oh their situation, especially hers, was still too threatening for him to calm down, another reason why he doesn't feel like exposing Sakura to the world outside their home yet. Kabuto was still on the loose and God-knows how many spawns he has to harm Sakura in one way or another.

He let out a restless sigh as he watched Sakura cooked some things altogether, which smelled like grilled salmon with delectable corn soup. He watched Sakura put a square plastic box which suspiciously looked like chocolate pudding earlier into the freezer.

"So it would be cold when we eat it." She commented offhandedly as she expertly handled the cooking ware when he asked her.

Time was a lost cause for him as he was too entranced with her and without him realizing, the definitely delicious foods were already in front of him.

"The food is ready, Mister Stare." Sakura teased as she took her seat across him. There's a knowing glint on her eyes.

"Touché." Itachi only offered her a small smile with a shrug.

Sakura shook her head in amusement before she enthusiastically clapped her hands.

"Itadakimasu!" Sakura cheered.

He replied equally, but instead of digging into his own food, he found himself enjoying the scene of his fiancée eating her portion of food with so much gusto that he wondered, pleased him greatly.

Seeing her so happy and bright like the sun itself filled his body with tranquility, such a strong, soothing peace that he never felt. It made everything seemed perfect and for him. Like there were no irritating council who in dire need to be kicked out, no enemies who were currently after his and her life and probably their precious children too, no heavy duties to burden his shoulder. Just..just him and her, simply having a peaceful and love filled life together.

When she noticed the lack of movement from him, she tilted her head in inquiring manner, though upon noticing the extra rare, peaceful expression on him she just smiled brighter before offering her chopped, grilled salmon with her chopstick to him. Itachi eyed the piece of delicious food in front of him before he opened his mouth and took it.

The taste of the sauce and the utter smoothness of the salmon melted directly in his mouth. Humming in approval he took a part of his grilled salmon and offered it to her; urging her to eat it.

Sakura let out a laugh at the action, but still take the piece of food nonetheless with a huge smile on her face.

Triggered by her laugh, Itachi couldn't help but let out a deep, husky laugh from his mouth. When she heard it, she was totally awed before a huge grin plastered permanently on her face as they ate their meal. When they're done, Sakura quickly tidy up the table and put the dishes to the sink with the help of ever gentlemanly Itachi. She quickly took the pudding out of the freezer and truth to be told, the pudding was on perfect temperature. Cold enough to be a yummy dessert, but not cold enough to harden. However, Itachi frowned when he realized Sakura wasn't eating the pudding she made by herself after she served him his portion, but instead, she went back to the freezer and took a 1 liter ice cream out of it. Raising his eyebrow, he watched as she skipped and placed the ice cream in front of her and happily dig in with equal gusto she showed earlier.

Decided to not comment, he indulged himself in the beautiful taste of her cuisine in the form of the chocolate pudding instead. Compared to Sakura's ice cream, his pudding was on a moderate size, but he stared at Sakura with astonishment when she finished the whole ice cream by herself, and at the same time he finished his dessert.

Upon noticing his incredulous stare, Sakura just smiled cheekily.

"You never cease to amaze me." Itachi shook his head as he gave a last glance toward the empty ice cream's container.

"Of course. I live to give you surprise in your somewhat rather boring and dull life style. All 'Good morning, sir, yes madam, with pleasure, miss.'" Sakura mimicked his formal and firm tone and body language every time he wasn't in the circle of his friends and family.

Itachi rolled his eyes.

"Well…Someone has to balance the childishness..." Itachi trailed off; openly provoking her.

"Hey!" Sakura pouted as she stood and bended her body so she could pinch his arm. Much to her chagrin, he moved faster and before she knew it, he was already behind her, with hands caging her waist and mouth whispering naughty, dirty things that he would do soon to her.

She tried to turn around and pushed him away from her, but as usual, his strength was still no match for her.

"Mou, why I can't get a hold of the speed and the power?" Sakura pouted as she was held by –now- smirking Itachi.

"I'll train you, if you want." Itachi replied. "Although I can't promise that it won't lead to other things…" He suggestively said.

"Pervert!" Sakura smacked her hand to his chest.

"Yours only." Itachi smoothly said.

Sakura stick her tongue out to him. Their bickering broke when her mobile phone rang. Sneaking one hand to her pocket, she glanced at the caller ID and surprised to see the caller.

"Mikoto-okaa-chan!" She answered the phone. Itachi begrudgingly let her go as she talked.

"Yeah, no, we've eaten." She answered.

"Um. Okay, we'll be there shortly." Sakura ended her call.

Itachi raised her eyebrow.

"She wants us to be there as soon as possible, or she will, I quoted "Take Sakura-chan away from you for the whole week and no, you can't whine because I can abuse my title as the Queen and make this an order, Tachi-kun!", I unquoted." She smirked at the evident displeasure on his face.

"Let's get going, Itachi-kun, before she actually abuse her title." She teased.

He watched exasperatedly as she waltzed back to their bedroom to change. Seconds later, her head popped out of the door.

"You know, if you behave when we're there, maybe I'll reward you tonight." She playfully winked before disappearing once more into their bedroom.

Shaking his head, Itachi resigned himself in his fate before walking to their bedroom to change his clothes.

"She'll definitely be a kickass Queen in the future." He mused.
