His face was stoic enough that she didn’t catch on to the real way he was looking at her. He merely seemed concentrated or lost in thought. “The east gate?” She asked as he passed her up. “Okay then.”

He knew there was no need to look behind him because she was following close by. Itachi and Sakura soon exited the gate and were now heading into the depths of the forest. Some of the trees were different from the others and they were soon following what could seem like a path. “It should take us almost an hour walking on food.” He looked back at her with a slight smirk. “We have plenty of time to talk, if you wish to ask any questions.”

“Oooooof course. Well let’s go then!” The excited young woman chirped and hopped down the stairs. Truth be told, her teammates were only a small fraction of her thoughts at the moment. Excitement and anticipation made up about 99% of them. When she noticed he wasn’t right behind her, she turned around and tilted her head in confusion. “You coming? Or am I supposed to find this place by myself?”

_{Well. Itachi smirked in amusement at her excitement, though he was walking much slower than she was now, looking after her while she went up faster and then stopped to look at him. Why was he looking at her like that in the first place? He appeared normal though because he recovered from his stupor fast and nodded once back at her, catching up with Sakura and going past her a little so she follows him. “We must head out the east gate."}

Sakura nodded and exited the house. Well at least there were some differences between Itachi and Sasuke. After a quick scan, she concluded that none of her friends were outside. Good thing because this would be a bitch to explain. “Thanks. Oh, of course there is. Why did I think this as going to be easy? Silly me.”

_{Itachi chuckled softly at her comment. “We have to make sure no one other than the members of the organization are able of reaching the base.” He says, noticing how she was looking around, probably to make sure that no one who knew her personally could see them exiting her home together.}

The edge of her eye twitched in annoyance at his cocky attitude. Was every Uchiha like this? Was it encoded in their DNA or something?

When he moved away, Sakura relaxed and opened her eyes. She gave him a not and picked up her bag. “How long will it take to get there?”

_{“Since there is no need to rush, I believe an hour maximum.” Itachi commented, opening the door for her to exit the house first, like a gentleman should. Little details that he was always aware of and always remembered to do. Some times, his brother forgot about them. “There is a process I need to explain to you as well on how to enter the base.” He added. “I shall explain it all once we are there.”}

deadlyblossoms:

A tingle ran down her spine and Sakura had to close her eyes and clench her teeth to keep from completely losing it. “Maybe,” She swallowed. “Maybe I’m excited about starting a new chapter in my life. Maybe it has nothing to do at all. Or is reading my mind another thing that the Sharingan is capable of?”

_{“Just keep telling yourself that, Sakura.” He smirks and decides to stop torturing her for now. There will be time for that later. “Maybe you’ll believe it eventually.” Itachi turns, grabs the glass of water and sips down the remains of it before grabbing his cloak. “Ready now?"} 

deadlyblossoms:

Damn Uchiha’s and their damn smirks. She was going to slap it off of both of them, she swore to Kami. Lost in her thoughts, she didn’t realize the elder get up and walk over to her until she felt his beath on her ear. Her muscles froze and it took her a moment to answer. “I’m a medic. I’ve seen many men before, with less clothing on than you. What makes you think you’re special?”

_{“My, Sakura. It’s almost a challenge there.” He chuckled lightly. “I do not doubt so. However…” His lips brushed her earlobe, filling him with even more amusement that she stood her ground. “That blush on your cheeks suggests that indeed, I must be special.”}

deadlyblossoms:

“Hm. Okay then.”

Immediately her face grew pink. “Well I see where Sasuke got his flirtatious attitude from.”

_{The smirk didn’t disappear from his lips at her little blush. “He still has much to learn.” Itachi took another sip, standing up from the couch to place the glass over the table before walking towards her. He was standing an inch or two apart, taller than the woman so he leaned in to the side of her face, right over her ear. The Uchiha’s voice like silk whispered out, “You still haven’t answered my question, Sakura."} 

deadlyblossoms:

The pink haired medic nodded with an, “Mmhmm!” and shrugged the bag off her shoulders before setting it on the couch. She made her way to the kitchen and returned a few moments later with his water. “So do I get to know where the base is or are we teleporting again?” she asked while handing him the glass, trying to keep her eyes trained on his face.

_{“Thank you.” He said as she brought over some water for him. “This time we can head over by foot. You’d be surprised how close it is.” Itachi commented before taking a sip of the water. “If you wish, I could wear the cloak again, Sakura. I do not wish for your eyes to strain.” He smirked in amusement, looking up at her.}

deadlyblossoms:

“You can make yourself comfortable!” She called before heading to her room. Once inside she grabbed the bag that she always set next to the door and ran around to get a few other things. Medical supplies, clothes, toiletries, weapons, etc. A few minutes later she emerged from her room, all ready to go. “Ready!”

_{The young man was done and as she said to make himself comfortable, he opened his cloak and took it off, remaining in his lower garments with the gray shirt and pants. His long ponytail rested over the side of his left shoulder and he sat down on one of the chairs, until she emerged out of her room all ready. He raised an eyebrow and made no move to stand up. “I notified the members, they should all arrive in about two hours. Do you have some water?”}

deadlyblossoms:

Just like their walk to the Hokage’s office, the walk to her home was full of odd stares and even a few whispers here and there. The pair continued to ignore them and soon reached their destination. Sakura opened the door but didn’t bother to take off her boots since they would be leaving in the next five minutes. “I usually have a bag ready to go for unexpected missions so I shouldn’t be too long.”

_{Itachi simply nodded when she opened the door and walked inside, doing the same after him and closing the door behind himself. He didn’t want the people to keep on staring. “Take your time. We still have plenty to spare.” He took the chance to use his ring and send a signal to the rest of the members, saying for them to meet at the base though that it wasn’t an emergency, and thus didn’t need to hurry that much to make it back.}
