Song of the day: white lines.

Artist: Linkin Park.

"Izumi Uchiha."

Itachi went stiff as soon as the name left his fiancee's luscious pink lips.

"Ring any bells?." Sakura taunted, her arms crossed and a dark expression on her face.

Everyone was watching them in bewilderment, Temari and TenTen wanted to know what's got their best  friend's panties in a twist.

Shisui, who was munching on a Burger suddenly choked, coughing loudly causing Nanami to pat his back.
"I-izumi!." He rasped rubbing his neck.

Sakura hummed but her eyes were still  locked on Itachi's stiff form, her eyes narrowing in agitation.
"No answer?." When the silence went on she huffed.
"Alright, keep it secret... Not like I care anyway."
She grabbed her bag, kissed her brothers on their cheeks and strolled out the lunch room, bag slung over her shoulder and a hand shoved Into her pocket.

The Akatsuki all watched her go, before all eyes, turned on Itachi, glares on all their faces.
Except for Gaara that is, cause he already saw the girl.

Itachi groaned softly, placing his head on his hands, Willing the headache to go away.

"I know you won't Like to go down this memory lane, but." Shisui suddenly spoke gaining all of their attention.
"You are to find Sakura, and you are going to apologize to her and tell her everything."

Temari blinked at Shisui, liking this new side to him immensely.
TenTen was trying to hold in her snickering, as she leaned against Konan, even though the situation was serious.

Her Snickers grew as Itachi nearly went white as he nodded.

Sakura entered her room and slammed the door shut, her fists were clenched tightly and her blood was boiling.

That bastard!.  She thought ferociously Doesn't even want to answer the damn question!.

She took a deep calming breath and let it out, dropping her bag on the one seater couch in her room, before falling face first on her bed, burying her head under a pillow, her thoughts all jumbled up but she could still make out the murderous ones.

Sakura didn't know how long she laid there but as she heard her mom call her for dinner, Sakura got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
While she showered she decided on something, if Itachi wanted to play dumb then okay, she'll just ignore him, no matter how much she loves him, it doesn't feel right to keep secrets from her after everything they went through.

She got out, grumbling under her breath as she dressed and went downstairs, not speaking as she ate, her brothers giving her concerned looks but she pretended that she didn't see.

"Sweetie?." Her mom asked.
"Are you alright?."

She huffed a weak laugh but nodded.
"I'm Fine mama, just not feeling so good."
It was true, her headache was still there.

Nothing else was said as they ate for the rest of the night.

TenTen hummed thoughtful as she stared at the empty seat next to her and back now to her mobile.

Won't be there today. Not feeling to good- Sakura.

Her eyes narrowed in suspicion, this had something to do with yesterday's subject.
She stood up, switching off her phone and pocketing it, she caught Temari, Nanami and Yukina by the eyes and motioned them out the door.

"Sakura's plotting." TenTen said as they stood outside the classroom.

Nanami and Yukina both blinked in surprise and Temari just nodded as a hand scratched her cheek lightly.

" who you expect she'll corner?."

TenTen laughed.
"Shisui."

Nanami and Yukina jumped slightly as Temari gave a hearty laugh.
"Come on girls, let's find that crazy pink haired menace."

TenTen rolled her eyes as she followed.

Sakura was indeed with Shisui, chatting happily with the guy, who was laughing.

"Sakura?." Temari called and the four watched as the girl swung around to face them with a grin.

"Hey guys!." She waved beckoning them over.
"Come on!."

"So, what information did you pull from this bastard?." TenTen asked casually, making Nanami and Yukina to snicker quietly.
Shisui just rolled his eyes with a smile.

"I want Itachi to come to me Teny, I'm not gonna find out this way." Sakura said, her head tilted in mock thought.
"Though I'm gonna make him pay for keeping such an important secret from me."

"Wow, sadistic much Sak,?." Nanami asked and Sakura just looked at her innocently.

"My, whatever do you mean by that my dear Nanami."

Said girl huffed her eyes looking heaven ward and Sakura smiled at her.
"Yes, I'm a bit sadistic, its just after all I've been through the past few months, I just can't believe he would keep something like this from me."

Shisui wrapped an arm around her shoulders and shook her gently
"Don't look now kitten, but the man in question is heading this way."

And indeed as Sakura turned to look, Itachi was coming towards them, his Strides smooth and fast, ponytail swaying behind him, a hand in his pocket with one visible clenched in a tight fist. But despite that he still looked gorgeous to her even though she was mad at him.

Teny and Yukina could practically see her thoughts and sniggered to themselves.

Itachi looked a bit apprehensive as he neared but sighed, he looked emotionally exhausted that made Sakura feel a bit bad, but she stayed firm.

"Sakura?." He said softly.
"Can I speak to you?."

"I don't know." She replied tilting her head at him.
"Is it anything important?."

"Sakura please."

She reeled back a bit, not used to hearing such a pleading tone from her lover.
"Sure." She sighed as she got up, Waving at the others.
"See you guys later."

"Bye!."

Itachi lead her to comfortable room, private at that too.
She plopped down onto a surprising soft seat and looked at Itachi expectantly.

He ran a hand through his hair and bent his head slightly.
"I know that I shouldn't have kept this from you beloved, but it was all in the past I didn't expect it to come back to haunt me."

He moved to seat at Sakura's feet, leaning forward to wrap his arms around her torso and rest his head on her stomach.

"Izumi Uchiha was the first girl I ever met, and me being the emotionless, cold hearted person I was, I immediately took an attachment to her. She was kind, sweet even and I couldn't help falling in love with her of that's what you call it." He took a deep breath and tighten his grip.
"I told her how I felt and she returned the feelings, I should have seen it coming but I was a bit blinded by the fact that we were actually together."

Sakura petted his hair soothingly, encouraging him to continue.
"I found her one day, she was staying at our house since were to be married, according to the council.. But when I walked into my room that day, I caught her on bed, with another man, she was bouncing up and down on his lap, head thrown back and completely unaware of my presence."

Sakura held him tighter, as he started to tremble with pent up tension, rubbing his back gently.

"I saw red, the growl that left my mouth then was animalistic.. I nearly killed them both, but I didn't I told them to get the hell out of my house and called off the engagement.. I burnt my whole room afterwards... Oyaji wasn't to pleased with me for that, but he understood why I did it."

Sakura hummed.
"Did you ever... You know." She trailed off.

"No, I didn't touch her In that way, I am a man of patience."

Sakura nodded.
"So you never slept with her, that's good."

Itachi sighed.
"Fortunately no,  I'm only a sex crazed fiend when I'm with you." He grinned against her stomach

Sakura smacked the back of his head lightly.
"Baaka."

"Don't do that to Me again Sakura, I felt as if I was going out of my mind not being able to speak with you, to touch you.. It was maddening."

She pulled his hair lightly.
"If you promise not to keep any more stupid secrets from me again."

"I promise." He said snuggling into her stomach.

"Now, if its a fight izumi is looking for then its a fight She's gonna get."

At the low, dangerous tone of his lover, itachi couldn't help but feel a tiny twinge of pity towards his ex girlfriend.

She didn't know what she got herself into once  she had challenged Sakura Akasuna.
