Sakura's love-- Chapter 8

Sakura awoke her eyes fluttering to get uste to the morning light. She then relized she was on something warm, and it relaxed. Then she suddenly relized, ‘Something warm?!’ she yelled in her thoughts. She quickly sat up and looked down at Sasuke, he looked up at her. Sakura blushed, for more then one reason, one; his chest was bare, two; she fallen asleep on him, and three; she had no clue what had happen. “So your awake.” Sasuke said, he expression emotionless.

“H-Hai.” She said rubbing her eyes. Sasuke closed his eyes, relaxing. Sakura watched him rest, ‘He’s so handsom.’ She said staring at the shirtless Uchiha. ‘Wait what?!’ Sakura mentally slapped herself, ‘What am I thinking?! I don’t even know why he is here in the first place!’ Sakura said shaking her head.

“Sakura?” Sasuke said his eyes still closed. “What’s wrong?” Sakura was taken aback, how had he known what that she was fighting with herself over something. “I-it’s just, I don’t know why you’re here, and I don’t even remember anything from last night, really.” Sakura said looking down at him. “You got intoxicated and I took you home, then you asked me to stay.” Sasuke said as he opened his eyes again.

Sakura nodded, “I understand. And I’m glad you did.” She said smiling lightly to him. Sasuke smiled back, more of a smirk then anything. He then reached up and took the pendent in his hand and rubbed it lightly with his thumb, “You like it?” he asked looking up at her. She blushed lightly, “Ya, it’s beautiful.” Sasuke let go of it and nodded, “I’m glad you like it, it suits you well.”

Sasuke sat up and stretched his arms, taking a deep breath. “I slept pretty well here.” Sakura smiled, “Do you mind if I take a shower?” she asked standing up. Sasuke shook his head, “No, it is your home.” Sakura nodded and got some clothing out of her dresser, “Alright, I’ll be right out. After I’m done would you want to go to your house, that way you can get ready for the day as well? I figured we could spend the day together.” Sasuke smirked, “Hai.” Then he noticed a common tattoo on her arm, ‘ANBU?!’ he jumped up and grabbed Sakura’s left arm where the tattoo was. Sakura gasped at this, “Sasuke, that hurts!” Sakura struggled against him, but Sasuke’s grip was unbreakable. “Sakura.” He said demandingly.

Sakura looked at him, scared. “What is this?” he asked pulling at her arm harder, causing her to wince. “What?!” she yelled at him in pain and confusion. “This!” Sasuke said pointing to her ANBU tattoo. Sakura then went wide eyed, she forgot, when she fell asleep the justu went away. “O-oh t-that… I—I.. uh…” Sasuke glared at her, “Tell me the truth Sakura.” He said releasing her arm and pushing her against the wall so she had no choice but to tell him if she wanted to get away. “I-I’m, an ANBU.” She said looking down.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Sasuke said looking down at her, his voice still held the tone of anger. “I was afraid you would have told me it was a horrible thing, and I would be better off staying jounin.” Sasuke sighed deeply, “No I wouldn’t have, I would have tried and made it so you could have been on my team.” He said backing away from her so she could go. “Now go, so we can leave.” Sakura nodded and went into the bathroom closing and locking the door behind her.

Sasuke waited, sitting on the bed and thinking. ‘I may have went to far.’ He thought. Then Sakura came out of the bathroom, “Ready.” She said in a shallow tone. Sasuke stood up, and went over to her, embracing her in a hug, “I’m sorry I hurt you, but I was angery that you had kept it a secret from me.” He said holding her in his arms and resting his head on hers. Sakura blushed, “I-It’s alright. I should have told you, you are the only person who knows.” She said wrapping her arms around him. They stood like that for atleast 3 minutes before Sasuke let go.

“We should go.” He said as Sakura let go, a red tint still on her soft cheeks. “Ya.” Sasuke put his shirt an shoes on. Sakura followed his lead and put on her nin-shoes. Sasuke took her hand as they walked to the front door and they, Sakura blushing, yet again. They left and Sakura locked the door.

Sakura was quiet the whole way to the Uchiha mansion, as was Sasuke. Sasuke continuosly glanced at Sakura, as she continued to look down. ‘Was I really that harsh?’ Sasuke asked himself, worriedly. They then came to the mansion and Sasuke let her in. Once they came in and Sasuke shut the door her took her into a embrace.

Sakura stood there bewildered. “Sa-Sasu-ke…” but she was silenced when he crushed his lips with hers. Sasuke closed his eyes as he kissed her passionately, Sakura closed her eyes slowly and wrapped her arms around his neck. Sasuke slid his tounge along Sakura’s bottom lip, asking for entrance, which Sakura granted.

Sasuke flicked his tounge and swirled it, Sakura doing the same. When Sasuke broke the kiss, their chests heaving from lack of breath. Sasuke then put his head next to hers and whispered, “I didn’t mean to harm you.” Sakura nodded in understanding, “It’s alright.” She whispered back.

Sasuke let go and gently took her arms off of around him and held her hand, “Come.” He said as he walked to his room. He opened the door for her and she enetered. Sasuke went into his closet and took out a shirt, pants, and boxers. “I’ll be back in a moment.” He said as he went into the bathroom to get changed. He came out a couple minutes latter and saw Sakura sitting on the bed waiting for him.

“Sasuke.” Sakura said standing up. “Hm?” “How bout I meet up with you at dinner tonight? I have a few things I need todo.” Sakura said as she stood in front of the Uchiha. Sasuke nodded, “Alright. I’ll come by your house around 7:00 alright?” Sakura nodded, “That’s fine.”

Sasuke showed her to the door and opened it, not before giving her a kiss on the forehead. And she left. She came to her house, with a long sigh she sat on her bed, “Wow.” She layed back thinking about what had happen.

Before she knew she fell asleep. She awoke hours latter. “Oh no!” she looked at the time 4:00 pm. She rushed into the shower and washed then came out and did her hair, she put on a red tank top and a black mini skirt and some flip flops. The shirt came down to her navel and had thin straps. By the time she finished it was 7:10. “Where is he?” she said sitting on her couch. “Right here.” Said a voice from a window behind her. Sakura’s head whipped around to see Uchiha Sasuke sitting in the sill of the opened window. “There is a door you know.” She said teasingly. “I think it’s more dashing to come through the window.” He said smirking and jumping down onto the couch next to her, “Read?” he asked then standing. She nodded and stood as well, then closed the window.

Sasuke went to her door and opened it for her, “Lady’s first.” She went out, “Thank you.” She said as he followed closing the door behind him. Sakura as always locked the door and the set off on their way. “So where are we going?” Sasuke asked. “You pick.” Sakura said looking up at him, “How about a sit down restraunt for once, that sound nice, ne?” Sasuke asked smiling down at her and taking her hand in his and entwining his fingers between hers. She nodded, “Ya.” Holding his hand.

Sakura guided her to a small restraunt and they were seated, they each ordered food, while they waited the talked. “So do you think ANBU is hard?” Sasuke asked his elbows on the table and his chin resting on his hands. “I don’t know yet, I haven’t had a mission or anything.” She said sitting up her hands folded in her lap. Sasuke nodded, “Lately the higher ranked ANBU have been taking all of the missions.” He sighed. “Which leaves the other rankings with nothing to do.” Sakura nodded in understanding.

The goof was then served and Sasuke began to eat as did Sakura. When they finished Sasuke paid, although Sakura insisted on atleast paying for her own. Sasuke refused. They walke dout of the restraunt, it was now dark and the streets were almost completely empty except for some lagers or some travelers and ninjas. Sasuke took in a deep breath of the fresh crisp air and released. Sakura smiled. “Nice isn’t it?” Sasuke nodded. “Why don’t we go for a walk?” Sasuke asked taking Sakura’s hand.

Sakura nodded, “That would be nice.” They walked down the streets of Konoha to the park, it was beautiful the path was lit by fire fly’s and some lanterns, causing the grass to sparkle and the stars were cleary up in the sky. They walked, hand in hand through the park, till they came to a small bridge going over a small river. The night sky reflecting it and the moon. Sakura went to the edge of the bridge leaning over the rail, looking down at her reflection in the flowing water. Sasuke standing next to her.

She looked up at him and smiled. Sakura admired her features in the moonlight; he lips seemed to shiner and her sea foam green eyes glowed. It was magical. Sasuke couldn’t help himself, his body seem to be acting of it’s own accord and he leaned in kissing her passionately. Sakura was take by surprise, her eyes widen. Sasuke’s eyes close, enjoying the feel. Soon enough Sakura was taken in by the spell and closed her eyes and leaned into the kiss, her body against his and arms around his neck.

Sasuke placed his hands on her hips gently. Then finally the broke the kiss, Sasuke the first to break the night silence, “Sakura, I know I have asked before, but.” He took his hands off her hips and knelt down and held her hands in hers, looking up into her eyes, she looking down apon him, a small, sweet, smile on her. “Marry me?” Sasuke put her hands against his lips. “Please. I can not think of being with another women other then you. I will do all I can to make you happy, to have you enjoy ever day you live. Please, Sakura, I love you.”

Sakura took in every word, letting them sink in. There was silence, deaffing silence till she spoke, “I’ve always wanted to hear that when I was young, and… now.” She closed her eyes, the graceful smile still apon her face, “Sasuke…” silence. “Yes.” Sasuke smiled at the words, standing up and holding her close. “Sakura, thank you. Thank you so much.” He said in a hoarse voice. Sakura then realized why; he was, crying. “Sasuke?” Sakura asked in a whisper. He held her closer, “I love you.” He whispered in her ear. Sakura closed her eyes and leaned into the embrace, clinging to him and placing her head upon his chest.

Sakura began to fall asleep in his arms, Sasuke then relized this when her breathing became deep and she became limp in his arms. He gentle picked her up bridal style looking down at her, he carried her home, to his home. He layed her on the bed, laying next to her he kissed her upon the head, “Goodnight, my angel.” He said as he fel asleep as well.
