Author's note: Harrloo there! Just letting you know that this is all after Sasuke comes back from his evil adventures. I'm not really used to the fanfiction setting as it always messes up on me, so I'm afraid you readers will have to bear with that until I can work it out ):
After a long day of training, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Sai were making their way back to their homes when,
"Oh crap. I left my gloves at the training grounds. You all go on ahead, I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
"Don't worry Sakura-chan, we'll wait for you!"
"Yeah ugly, I will wait for you with Naruto as well. Because good friends do that...right?"
And now, the two boys' heads turned to Sasuke, waiting for his reply.
"You'll wait with us for Sakura-chan right teme?"
"Why should I?"
"Isn't ugly a good friend of yours?"
"Alright guys thanks for waiting!" As quickly as she left, Sakura returned.
"...that was fast."
"While you guys were bickering, I thought I might as well go and get my gloves." Sakura grinned and started walking; the other 3 just stared in amazement at her speed. "Are you all just going to stand there? It's getting late, and we're starting training early tomorrow right?"
Team 7 ambled towards their homes, and that was when Sasuke noticed it.
There was a small puncture wound on Sakura's neck.
He immediately grabbed Sakura's wrist and pulled her back to him.
"Sasuke? What's wrong?" She looked at him, her glistening green eyes peered into his sullen black ones.
Naruto and Sai turned around to see the commotion.
"Is something up?"
"Errmm... you two go on ahead. We'll see you in the morning!"
Naruto didn't look convinced, although he was reluctant to leave, Sai managed to persuade him.
It was only when Sakura and Sasuke were alone together did he release his grip on her wrist.
"You have a bite wound on your neck."
"...yes?" His eyes narrowed.
"Why didn't you heal it just now?"
She crumbled under his gaze... 'and why are you interrogating me? Is this payback for when I interrogated you when you returned to Konoha?'
"...I don't have the equipment with me at the moment. So I was planning on healing it when I got home."
"You're poisoned."
'And you're emotionally constipated.'
"What's it to you?"
"When were you bitten?"
'When did you care?'
"When I went to retrieve my gloves. Can you stop grilling me with questions? The poison that came from the bug is probably already in my blood system so I need to get the infected blood out."
He scoffed, "You'd probably die by the time you get home."
"...what?"
In the blink of an eye, Sasuke appeared right infront of Sakura, brought his lips to her neck wound and commenced to sucking out the infected blood. Sakura attempted to push him away but all hopes of getting him off her vanished when he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.
'What is he doing?'
'I'm sucking out the poison from you. What does it look like I'm doing?'
'...i'm not going to answer that. This is completely unnecessary; I could have just used a syringe,'
'You left your equipment at home, you said so yourself.'
'...why are you helping me?'
'We're teammates.'
'I never thought I'd hear that from you.'
'Besides, someone has to keep Sai busy when I fight the dobe tomorrow.'
'Figures...anyway remember not to swallow the blood, now switch off your Sharingan and get out of my head.'
Sasuke removed his lips from her neck and spat out the blood while Sakura emitted chakra from her hand and placed it over the bite mark, checking in her body for any remains of the poison. After she found none, she nodded and Sasuke's hands were in his pockets once again.
When Sakura realised the extremely close distance between her and Sasuke, she took a step back and stared at her shoes, hiding the blush on her cheeks.
"Thanks for getting the poison out of my system."
He nodded, and they both turned in left in opposite directions, neither one of them noticing the blush on each other's cheeks,
Or the parting present Sasuke gave Sakura.
Author's Note: TADAA! I'm sorry this chapter is super short, puh-lease review for more! ;)
