Sakura slammed her backpack onto the table of her apartment. It got harder for her to see Sasuke everyday and keep walking away, now Tsunade wanted her on the same team as her ex-husband and what was worse, she expected them to act like a couple for the duration as cover. Sakura went into her closet and took out a box of her memories, she opened the box and flipped through the pictures of when she and Sasuke were happy and married. "That was before the harshness of reality set in" she muttered and closed the box and shoved it into her closet again.

She sighed and with a glance at the clock she realized it was time to meet Sasuke in the arena for their training, She changed swiftly and left after locking up. She reached the arena only to find Sasuke had not arrived, so she took the time to stretch properly as her warm ups. She lifted a leg and set her ankle on the side bar before leaning on the lifted leg. Her eyes lifted and were met with onyx eyes, Sasuke watched her in silence. Sakura merely lifted her body and removed her leg from the bar before repeating the same to her other leg. After stretching that one, she left her leg on the bar and facing him, lowered herself all the way down her leg that was on the floor.

Lifting her head, her gaze met Sasuke's darkened ones, Sakura lifted herself up and removed her top, leaving herself in just a tank top and shorts as she jogged around the arena for her next warm up. Sasuke's gaze followed her every step, wondering how he could ever have let her go. Sasuke decided to not warm up and as he turned to practice against a clone, his ankle twisted having been distracted by Sakura's toned thighs running by him. Sakura had seen him collapse onto his back and ran over to him.

"Are you ok Sasuke?" She asked while running her hands over his body checking for injuries. Sasuke knew the real reason, he was well aware she knew his ankle was injured, not his chest. Sasuke had spent years trying to get over her leaving and never did. He lifted her gaze to meet his own and gently laid his lips on hers. Sasuke pulled her closer as Sakura lost herself momentarily.

"No Sasuke, we can't do this. This whole thing with us is just one big mess up. It didn't work out once, it will mess up again" she said as she started to pull away. Sasuke grabbed her hand and pulled her back down.

"Not if we don't allow it Sakura. We were so in love once, I can be the man you fell in love with once, and I know you are still the woman I fell in love with and married. Underneath that cool outside shell, lies a passionate woman that longs for freedom. You and I are two sides to the same coin Sakura, I can't live without you and you can't survive without me. Face it, we miss each other too mch to survive this mission." Sakura looked away in thought.

Sakura stood and with a flick of her wrist, she healed his ankle. "Come on, it is obvious we need to work this out." She stated and lead him to her apartment. Sasuke frowned, how could he have left her to live in a place like this? Upon entering her room, he was greeted with the scent of cherry blossoms and jasmine. When she turned to talk, she found herself pinned beneath his body as his lips hungrily devoured hers. Sakura gave in, she had gone without his touch for too long and she missed him.

She slid her arms around him as he pressed his hips down between her thighs, rocking his hips gently. Sakura moaned softly as her hands fought to remove his shirt, upon ripping it off, her hands clawed along his flesh, marking him as hers. Sasuke ripped her shorts off as her panties followed and within moments, somehow he was inside her.

Sakura whimpered as he moved harder, his teeth leaving marks of his own on her neck, he slid one hand down her arm to interlock with hers. He did the same with his other hand as he moved behind her and sheathed himself within her again, Sakura moaned as her grip on his hand tightened.

Sasuke nipped her neck in the same spot he always marked her as she leaned her head back into him, he released one hand to grasp her waist tightly to mold her hips to his as he moved within her so gently. Sakura whimpered as her release slammed into her, leaving her gripping the sheet hard to muffle her voice. Sasuke's own gasp preceded his own release as he spent himself within Sakura's body.

He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her to his warm body. "Mine Sakura, you have always been mine, that will never change" she turned to meet his gaze and kissed him gently.

"As you have always been mine Sasuke. I guess even years can't change that" she whispered before sleep overtook them.

A/N: Will make next chapter longer if I have the time to work on it.
