Not to Say Anything

Blood trickled down the side of her face as she quickly brushed a stray lock of hair out of her line of vision just in time to block a high kick that was meant for her face. Sakura grabbed his ankle and twisted it just as Sasuke turned and jerked his foot out of her grasp, landing a quick succession of punches which she blocked with a little effort. When fighting unclose with fists didn't work Sasuke jumped back and let out a score of stars that tore into her flesh but only made her angry.

"Damn you, Sasuke!" she yelled as she pulled a star out and turned it on him. Sasuke just laughed and deflected it with a small blast of chi.

"You'll have to do better than that if you want to win this Sakura!" He yelled, over the roaring wind that had been howling since they started. The weather was dim two hours ago and it was just treating to get worse as they continued their sparring. Sasuke became a blur and Sakura, tired but not showing it, couldn't keep up with where he was.

One second he was in front of her and the next she was face down in the mud. She pulled a small dagger from her pouch and turned around swiftly, cutting a thin line on his stomach.

Sasuke's face held a look of controlled anger as he pulled out a similar dagger and threw it causing a scratch to appear on the back of her hand as she caught it and threw it back, he swiftly caught and tossed it into the air, causing it to land somewhere in the field. Sakura blinked rapidly, confused by his actions. Normally he would have kept fighting until one of them "died."

"What's wrong Sasuke?" she asked as she ran a hand through her pink hair. He seemed to come out of a daze and in a blur of movement, yet again, he grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.

"I won't say this very often so don't get used to it, but know that it is there." Sasuke paused as took a steadying breathe, something he never did. "I love you."

Sakura let out an 'oh' sound and was about to say something when Sasuke pulled her into a chaste kiss.

Sometimes it is better not to say anything.

AN: Just a little drabble I thought up, it had been a while since I had done a SakuraXSasuke so I thought this up.
