Submit to me- Chapter 3

Sakura didn’t know how long she lay there, a whole day, maybe just a few hours? She couldn’t be sure, she was in such a daze, her mind was blank, and her eyes closed, finally unconsciousness took over her and she drifted into a dreamless sleep. She awoke to movement beside her. She leaned into the warmth beside her. ‘It’s… warm…?’ she warily thought.

Suddenly her eyes shot open, “Oh.” She gasped looking into a pair of blood-red eyes.

A low chuckle emitted from the boy’s lips, “Did I scare you?” he asked as he watched her eyes slide closed again and a blush creep up into her cheeks.

She ignored his question as she relaxed, taking in the moment, “What did you do?” she asked as she curled into a ball beside him, leaning into his side.

Sasuke went slightly rigid beside her, “I killed him, Sakura.” He said in a low and dangerous voice.

Sakura nodded, to his surprised she actually smiled, “I thought it was something like that.” She whispered. Her eyes remained closed as Sasuke readjusted, moving onto his side and putting an arm around her, pulling her into his chest.

“We need to leave soon.” He muttered into the darkness of the room.

Sakura nodded, “Soon.”

Slow unconsciousness swept over both of them. Sakura awoke several hours latter. Her eyes opened slowly. She had her head tucked into the sleeping Uchiha’s chest. His chest moving up and down in rhythm to his breathing. Sakura looked up at his sleeping face. “Sasuke…” she lightly tapped his chest.

He groaned in protest and unconsciously pulled her closer. Sakura stifled a laugh, “Sasuke!...” she hissed. She knew he was finally awake although he didn’t open his eyes, she knew by the way he rubbed her back that he was conscious. “Sasuke, we have to go.”

He slowly opened his eyes and grimaced, why did he always suffer from lack of sleep? Slowly he took his arms off of her and she sat up stretching. Sasuke looked up at her, “You need to pack. Only get your important things.” He shifted, laying on his back and putting his arms behind his head.

Sakura nodded, standing up and gathering her things into her backpack. “What about you?” she asked when she was putting her last items into her bag.

“Hm?” it sounded like she had pulled him out of deep thought.

“Don’t you have stuff you want to bring?” he simply shook his head. She nodded understanding and finished. “Ready.”
He nodded standing up and took her by the hand as he swiftly led them down the hall to a door. He opened it and the began racing out into a crowded forest, jumping in the trees and going as fast as possible, Sakura fast at his heels.

After hours of racing through the forest, they reached a small nomad town. It was quite big compared to other they had seen. This one had roughly about 120 to 150 people, maybe. There were small house, or huts would probably suit them better. They were too small to be houses, but a little too big to be huts.

Sasuke let go of Sakura’s hand and casually walked into the village. Sakura followed suit and trialed behind him. A man with a large sword strapped to his back and white hair came forward. “Oi, Sasuke.” He said grinning a treating set of sharp pointy teeth. He was about the same height as Sasuke, maybe a bit taller. He seemed to be somewhat scrawny. Finally the sword, Sakura recognized, was the on that used to be Zabuza’s.

She eyed his warily as they approached. Sasuke nodded him a greeting, “Segiustu.”
They stood across from each other. The man ‘Segiustu’ as Sasuke called him grinning and Sasuke with Sakura standing partially behind him, she didn’t trust him, but she trusted Sasuke to be able to defend her if anything happen.

“Hm?..” The man put a hand on Sasuke shoulder pushing him to the side so he could see Sakura better. “And who do we have here?” His grin went wider.

Sakura set on an unemotional face, almost as good as Sasuke’s. Her posture was alert and straight. She glanced at Sasuke and he nodded, “Sakura Haruno.” She said to him. The man laughed, cupping her chin with his hand, turning her face and examining her.
“Hm, well, Sakura Haruno. You are quite the work of art, I see why Sasuke is so into you, or is he just banging you?” He chuckled and let go of her. “Stop glaring at me like that, Uchiha.” He said quirking a brow.

Sakura looked over at Sasuke. He was glaring at him, and with the sharigan. Sakura stifled a laugh, ‘Over defensive much?’ Sasuke’s eyes melted back into oxen.
“Down to business.” Sasuke said as he turned on his heals and began walking down the street. Sakura followed behind the two men, she was wary of the new arrival and wanted to keep an eye on him.

She didn’t miss how the new comer continued to glance at her, smiling his eerie smirk. A shiver raced up her spine just by looking at him. “Where are Jugo and Karin?” came Sasuke voice from beside the odd man. She noticed him shrug.
“Some where in this weird town.” Came the answer. “To be quite honest I couldn’t care less about the both of them.” She could tell her was being smug.

“Idiot.” She said under her breath. Apparently he had heard it, turning around he grabbed her wrist pulling her against his chest; he looked down at her. And god-forbid, he still had the fucking smile on his face! Sakura grimaced looking up at him.

“Now then, what was that?” his head cocked to the side and his voice held absolutely the worst kind of  venom, his damn smugness. This guy was driving her up the walls, in the worst way possible. She looked over at Sasuke, he simply stood there watching the seen unfold.
Sakura couldn’t take it anymore, she raised her hand; slapping the new comer hard across the face. He immediately let her go, holding onto his now red cheek. Sakura smiled triumphantly, she had knocked the damned smirk right off his face, quite literately. “Now then, first of all; No touching me. Second; God fucking knows you’re the most arrogant bastard I ever met.” Her voice held authority and her stance resembled her tone. The man smiled again and rolled his eyes.
“Playing hard to get are we?” he waved at her nonchalantly.
Sakura quirked a brow, “Who’s playing anything.” She cocked her head to the side, innocently.

The man simply shook his head, rolling his eyes. Sakura took her place behind Sasuke, he glanced back at her. She had her hand gripping his shirt, like a scared child. He knew this meant she was unsure of the new member. Sasuke nodded; only Sakura saw though.

Sakura sighed, “C’mon.” he began walking again, pulling Sakura in front of her, he guided her in the right direction. Segiustu walked behind Sasuke. They made their way to a small pub. Sasuke nudged her through the door and let go of her shoulder. Going over to the bar he tapped on the shoulder of a white haired man and a reddish pink haired girl.

The girl practically tackled him to the ground in a hug and the man nodded to him in greeting. Sakura grimaced, seeing how the girl kissed him on the cheek. She heard a chuckle from beside her and turned to see Seguistu looking at her, still laughing. “Got some competition?”

She gave him a small smile, “Keep talking ass, you’ll be thrown across the room in a minute.” She glared at him, her fake smile still on her face. Walking over to the small group she left Seguistu looking at her in disbelief, ‘Guess he isn’t used to being insulted by women.’ She smiled at the thought. Standing next to Sasuke who was trying to pry the girl off him she smiled to the white haired man. “Jugo I take it?” she said cocking her head to a side.

He nodded, “Hai. And this here is Karin.” He motioned to the girl with his hand. Sakura was ready to pounce her; she was practically about to rape him. She had her leg between his and her hands on his shoulders. Her lips were close to his. He was keeping her from kissing him by placing his hand on her forehead.

Sakura sighed and pulled her off him by her hair. The girl screeched loudly, causing several heads to look over at them. Karin scowled at Sakura, “The hell you think your doing?!” she screamed in her face. Sakura stayed composed and stood as if nothing had happen.

Sakura shrugged, “Do you mind keeping your voice down?” she had on her unemotional face again. “And for the answer to your question, you were annoying him.” She could see Sasuke trying to keep from laughing. She had hit the nail on the head, a bit too hard. Karin grabbed Sakura’s hair and tugged. Sakura bit her lip to keep from yelling out.

Before anything more could happen Sasuke stepped in, “Stop.” She looked at both of them, immediately Sakura stepped back, behind Sasuke. Karin glared at her, standing up straight and smiling at Sasuke seductively. Sakura just about gagged, could this girl get anymore slutty?
“Now then.” Sasuke looked at all of them, “We will stay here one night then go off and begin searching. Make sure you have all your supplies and things need to our trip.” They all nodded. “Alright then, meet up at the north entrance at 10 am.” Looking over at Sakura he motioned for her to follow. Walking out they made their way through the village to a small hotel. Going in Sasuke got a room.

Going into their room Sakura looked to see one bed. She mentally groaned, ‘Wonderful…’ She was a bit wary of what might happen between them in it.
She went and laid down on it, closing her eyes. Sakura sighed happily. She heard a laugh, “I’m going to take a shower.” She heard Sasuke’s voice say, then a door close. Not long after she heard the sound of running water.

About an hour latter Sasuke came out of the bathroom wearing his pants, no shirt, no shoes. He laid down beside her, “You’re not asleep, I can tell.” He brushed the hair from her face. Opening her eyes she almost jumped up and off the bed; he was extremely tempting. His hair was wet and his body was slightly damp. Without his shirt you could see some scars left from battle; over his rippled stomach and smooth back.

Blushing Sakura looked away, “I was resting…” her voice was silent. Grabbing her face Sasuke turned her head so she could see him. He had on his normal persona though some how his eyes were happy.

“Don’t be embarrassed to look at me.” Then without warning he crushed his lips to hers. Sakura gasped, gently she put her arm around his neck, pulling him on top of her; he supported himself with his elbow. Putting her other hand on his bare back. His wet hair brushed her cheeks gently tickling her, she shivered.

Sasuke bit her lower lip gently, playfully. He chuckled when she gasped a second time. Pulling away he looked down at her. Her eyes were now open and her lips slightly parted. Her cheek bones were a crimson color.

He gently brushed her cheek with the tips of his fingers. He looked like he was studying an unknown thing; in a way he was. He was new to this emotion thing. Testing even more he trailed his fingers down the hollow of her throat to her collarbone. Sakura remained still as he eyed her. Stopping just above her shirt he pulled his hand away.

“Time for bed.” Sakura smiled, nodding. She waited for him to get up, but he didn’t. Looking at him curiously, he smirked. Grabbing her by the waist he rolled over so she was on top of him and him under her.

Sakura giggled as he pulled the covers over them. Moving so she was more beside him then on top of him, she rested her head on his shoulder. Sasuke snaked his arm around her waist, pressing her to his body. He nuzzled his face into her pink locks. Sakura’s hot breath ran over his bare skin, causing a blush to show on the Uchiha’s face.

Sakura put her arm across his chest, her hand rested on his other shoulder. Slowly, slowly, they both drifted into their own dreams.
