ItaSaku: You're No good For Me

Is This Fixable?

Sakura's POV:

I sighed as I pulled away from Itachi, he gave me a questioning look but I continued to look down.

"Sakura wh-"

"What if your father is right?"

I didn't look up to see his expression, my head buzzed and I tried my best to stay in control, Inner knew where I was going with this. With the tension thick with silence, I figured he wanted me to explain myself. I took another deep breath.

"He only has the best intentions for you after all, and I know you're practically a genius, you beat me in almost any challenge I throw at you. So... this highschool isn't good enough for you right?" I looked up and his face was blank, he wasn't making this any easier for me, I bit my lip and tried to ignore the way my vision started to blur. Giving him a sad smile, I shook my head and looked down again, I didn't want him seeing me like this.

"Your father is right, why don't you go and become more successful? What's stopping you?"

"Sakura, I'm not leaving y-"

"That's the point Itachi! I'm holding you back! It's all my fault you can't go! I know the school isn't good enough for you," my voice wavered as the tears spilled over, "I know... I know I'm not good enough for you."

After I finished that last part my shoulders shook with oncoming sobs and his hands gripped me by my shoulders, but I refused to look at him.

"What's making you think this way?"

I gave a sad chuckle, I knew he'd be confused by this, confused by me. I gently took his hands and lowered them off my shoulders, I still held his hands in mine and I looked up. His eyes were calculating and I think deep down he knew where I was going with this.

"Itachi, I love you. But I'm not gonna let myself hold you back like this, you go be successful. I probably sound selfish in a way, what I'm trying to say is I'm sorry."

He didn't respond only his grip on my hands got a little tighter, he knew I was letting go and I knew he didn't want to. But he has great things ahead of him and if he stays here with me, I'll pull him down. I know someone like me isn't good enough for an Uchiha. I squeezed his hands once more and let go.

"I'm sorry."

The wind picked up and blew my hair gently, as I took one last look at him I turned and walked out. I ignored the shouting of my name, and I ignored the painful feeling rippling through my chest. I even ignored Sasuke looking at me with a smug smile. Once I knew I was far enough from it, I ran the rest of the way home and slammed my room door shut, locking it in place. I picking up my phone a scrolled to Ino's contact and automatically pressing call. A ring or two later she picked up.

"Hello? Sakura? What's up?"

"Ino..." My voice sounded terrible, and thick with tears. I tried to stifle another sob coming on but failed miserably.

"Sakura! What happened, never mind I'm on my way."

I heard a dial tone and went to unlock my bedroom door, she'd be here soon and we'd make this better... right? I crumpled up against the wall and held my legs close, it hurt, it hurt so much. Sobs kept racking my body every second and I didn't even notice my door busting open.

"Shhh, it's okay Sakura, you gotta calm down girl." Ino hushed me, wrapping her arms around me and holding me there. It only made it worse, every emotional dam I built came crashing down and by the time I was done crying, I felt numb. Ino was still here though, just waiting for me to get it all out. I glanced at my bed to see TenTen, Hinata and even Temari sitting on top of it. I sniffed and rubbed my nose.

"W-When did you guys get here?" I asked, my voice all raspy from the crying.

"Ino called us about an hour ago and when we got here... you just kept crying and crying." Hinata explained. They all gave me sad looks and I looked away.

"C'mon, tell us what happened." Ino softly said to me, pulling me close again and stroking my hair. I tried not to cry again and instead took a deep breath.

"I-I... we broke up."

Ino's hand stopped for a millisecond and I could tell she was looking at the others.

"Why?" She asked.

Anger suddenly rushed over me as I remembered what happened.

"Ask that piece of shit Sasuke! And his fucking father! They... they did it. I didn't wanna lose him Ino! My Ita-Kun..." I couldn't finish the sentence; more tears came and the grip I had on Ino was surely hurting her. I heard her whisper something to the girls and soon after that they left and it was just me and her.

"Hold on Sakura, I'm gonna be right back. Will you be okay by yourself for a bit?" She asked me, I only nodded. After she left I held myself tighter and hoped this feeling would go away.

Ino's POV:

I couldn't believe it, they were doing so well just what the hell happened. I knew I couldn't as Sasuke directly or alarms would be sounding in his head. I settled for the next best thing, Itachi of course. Since school was out by this time I practically ran to their house, and I don't run. I smoothed out my clothed and gently knocked on the door and when it opened only to be shut in my face I figured it was Sasuke. I knocked again and it opened more slowly this time, revealing a young woman who was actually very pretty.

"Hello! Sorry my son acted so rudely towards you, what can I help you with?" Her smiled reached her eyes and I was stunned that this was Sasuke's mom. She was so nice!!

"Hello to you as well, and sorry for coming over unanounced but I was wondering where Itachi was and if I could speak to him." I smiled back and she looked deep in thought.

"He's probably in his room, Sasuke! Take this young lady to Itachi please." She moved out of the way and Sasuke's glare was so intense it made me shy away from him. The walk there was quiet until he spoke first, "Don't even try anything." He said as we came to a stop in front of a door. I turned and smiled at him.

"Go fuck yourself Sasuke." He looked taken aback and finally walked away so I knocked on the door.

"Uchiha-san! It's Ino! Can we talk?"

I heard shuffling and the intense stare he's given me was worse than Sasuke's, in short, he looked as bad as Sakura.

I opened my mouth to speak but he grabbed me and pulled me inside. I was about to protest the way he was handling me but he spoke first.

"How is she." My eyes soften at his concern for her, whatever happened it screwed them both up.

"She- she isn't doing too well. I don't think I've ever seen her cry so much in my lifetime. I'm gonna have bruises on me from where she was holding me too tightly." I took a deep breath. "When I left to see what happened, she was curled up in a ball in the floor. Tell me what went down." I basically commanded.

Itachi went through the story and my mouth stood agape, how dare Sasuke! How dare their father! And how dare Sakura for letting them get to her! I heard Itachi sigh and look away from me.

"I didn't want to lose her." My eyes widened in recognition and I laughed, which was met with a glare.

"Funny, she said that about you as well."

I turned to leave and he asked one more question.

"Do you believe this is fixable?"

I gave him a sad looked and moved past him, " I really can't answer that."
