Sakura was unable to sleep, even though her body was exhausted, her mind was far too busy. She had not missed the partner's interaction in the hall. Overreacted Kisame had said. Did he mean that Itachi had overreacted when he had launched the first kunai at Toshiro? She did not have to wait long for her answer; in just a few minutes Itachi came back into her room.
"You are still awake." Itachi thought that she was going back to sleep.
"I feel a lot better now that the poison is gone." Sakura assured him. "I just need to get some chakra back and I will be just fine."
"Can I get you anything?" He asked.
"No thank you." She replied with a smile. "I do want to ask you something though. Back at Toshiro's why did you throw that kunai?"
"I should not have." Itachi admitted as he set back in the chair. "I am afraid that I allowed myself to grow angry at the way that he was treating you, and when I saw him go for the fan I snapped. I am sorry Sakura."
"Don't be." She waved off is apology. "If I would have seen someone slap you around and then go for a deadly weapon, I probably would have done the same thing.
"Hn." Itachi smirked as he looked down at his pink haired companion. "Kisame should be back soon with something for us to eat. Would you like for me to help you down the stairs?"
"That would be great." Sakura reached up and took the hand that he offered. She was shocked when instead of helping her to walk he scooped her into his arms.
