"Pein-san, you called for me." A twenty-two year old cherry blossom said as she walked into his office.

"Yes, well you see I've notices that your performance lately has been a little poor." Pein stated as he watched the kunoichi take a seat in front of his desk.

"Ah yes well you see, I've been a little distracted lately." Sakura admitted

'So I've heard.' Pein thought as he sat down at his desk chin in one hand while the other lay comfortably on the desk.

"Why don't you tell me about it, I can't have a distracted soldier out in battle?"

"I don't know if I really should, maybe I should go to Konan about this." Sakura stated as she was about to get up to leave.

"I won't tell anyone why don't you just tell me." Pein said as he watched Sakura sit back down.

"You won't allow me to leave till I tell you correct?"

"Correct." Pein stated with a smirk on his face.

"Well you see it all started when I was going to talk to my friend about something & well when I walked in she wasn't exactly alone. But that wasn't what surprised me, it was who she was with, she wasn't with her man, she was with another."Sakura explained.

"And why does this concern you?"

"Well you see……………how do I say this, It's so emotional, what I'm feeling, I never been caught between a hard place and a rock, I know she's cheating and I want to have him, but she's my friend" Sakura admitted.

Pein just sat there frozen stiff, ever since she came she'd been rejecting men left & right & now she's confessing that she's interested in someone, someone who was already taken. This was interesting

"So tell me more."

"You see the man she's having an affair with is just so old I mean he's old enough to be my great great great grandfather." Sakura said

This caught Peins attention; there were only three people that old & only two of them could get girls. An Akatsuki member having an affair, Sakuras friend was either brave or really stupid.

"I know that she my girl & I know that he's her man, but I've been dreaming of a stormy love affair (Pein lift an elegant eyebrow at this). Plus she does him so wrong, & I want to treat him right. I know that she's my girl, but I want to be with him." Sakura confessed.

Pein was starting to think; maybe it wasn't such a smart idea to ask her, he should've let Konan deal with it. Now he had a hard on, if Konan walked in on this, she'd probably think he was having an affair with her, he didn't need that kind of drama in his love life. From what it sound like love affairs were just plain complicated. Still he couldn't help but wonder why this guy that Sakura liked hadn't noticed her affection, he was either stupid or blind.

"So you're telling me you want to get thrown into this complicated affair, why? I mean Sakura I've known you since you were seventeen & not once have you shown your interest in anyone, & now all of a sudden you are, & you want him so much that you willing to be the other women in his life?" Pein stated as he messaged his temples.

'Yup affairs are much to complicated.' Pein thought.

"I'm not done yet." Sakura stated

"Well then please continue" Pein replied

"She's not in love with him, he's a hobby, & I want to be the one to make him happy all the time. Were a perfect fit but………………….I know it just wouldn't be right."

"Okay so let me get this straight you like him, he loves her, and she loves some other guy."

"Yup."

"Continue on please."

"I'm faced with a dilemma, I don't want to lose my girl, I don't know what to do, But I want to be with him."

"Okay so you want to keep your friend, but you still like this guy, tell me somethings about him so at least, I can gives some advice."Pein said

"Him, he's sexy, he's classy, he fits me, and I get along with him."

"Okay, you know what, next time you see him do something that's shows him your affection towards, that any man will understand, if he doesn't react towards it then, try to find someone else, someone who's not with someone else." Pein said

"You know what, I think I just might."Sakura said as she got up to leave.

Pein watched as she walked away & that's when he remembered something.

"What's his name?" Pein asked he watched as Sakura stopped three feet from the door, she turned around & walked right back over to him by now he had already moved to lean on the front of the desk. Sakura came up to him.

"Promise to keep a secret." She said

"You know I can." He replied

Sakura highered herself & the next thing he knew she had her lips covering his.

'No, no, no, this can't be happening!' Pein thought.

While his mind was trying to deny the fact that Konan was having an affair with someone else. His male hormones were winning the fight to take over his body. Kissing Sakura back.

'damn might as well give in.' Pein thought he closed his eyes, grabbed Sakura by the thigh lifting her up to were she wrapped her legs around his waist, he turned them around & sat her on his desk. Pein pulled away to catch his breathe, & went back to kissing Sakura, his tongue liked her lower lip asking for entrance, & she allowed. His tongue met hers & they battled for dominance, he of course won, finally getting to explore her mouth, memorizing each & every part of it. To him it felt like strawberries were melting in his mouth, & it was addictive, making him want more. He finally pulled a way due to the need for oxygen. He placed his forehead against hers, looking into her emerald depths.

"Who's the other man?" Pein asked unfortunately for him, there was a knock at the door, & Sakura slipped away from him & off the desk. She walked back to the door & opened it to find Konan, Who walked in.

"Madara wants to have a word with you." Konan said as she walked over to the book shelf.

Sakura looked over to himself before walking away, & that's when he figured it out. Pein turned towards Konan.

"Konan, it's over between us, be glad now you & Madara don't have to hide your relationship." Pein stated as he turned around & walked out the door as well. He still couldn't believe he called himself stupid, but hell if Sakura meant every word she said then maybe things would work out.
