Chapter 1: Promises Fulfilled

Sakura couldn't sleep, she moved the blankets of the bed gently so she didn't wake Sasuke.

She sat up propping her back with a pillow so she could face the window she felt the warm night air stroke her face gently.

She sat up straighter so she could look out the window at the moon and stars. Lately it was her favorite thing to look at. Because good things always seemed happen to her under the star speckled sky.

She thought bask to that night when Sasuke had fulfilled his promise and come back to her and taken her back with him to The Sound.

She remembered on that night she had come in late from a mission with Kakashi and Naruto…

Sakura walked into her house so tired she could barely think. She walked leisurely to her room not bothering to turn on the lights.

She sat down on her bed head in her hands while dizzying memories swirled in her head. She was so out of it that she didn't even sense the presence of another person in the room with her.

While she thought, she felt the presence of someone lingering in front of her.

Her hand shot quickly to her kunai but someone's hand grabbed her wrist firmly. She opened her mouth to call for help when a hand silenced her plea.

The person pushed his weight on her forcing her back onto the bed.

She struggled thrashing wildly trying to overpower the figure on top of her but it was less than pointless. He had her pinned securely. Tears of fright formed in her eyes as she tried to yell against his hand until she heard a husky voice hiss quietly, "Sakura, be quiet!"

She snapped her mouth shut and stopped crying when she heard that voice, she knew that voice. She smiled against his hand as she looked up squinting against the darkness trying to make out his face.

He removed his hands from her mouth and wrist and stood up looking down at her. She quickly stood up and threw her arms around his waist, she felt his body stiffen arms still at his sides.

"Oh Sasuke! I'm so happy your back, that you're alive." Sakura cried out softly against his chest wishing his arms would encircle her and hold her tight into him. But she was happy enough just being able to hold him in her arms.

She had waited so long for this moment to able to start a new life being at Sasuke's side forever.

He made his promise 1 year 7 months and 3 days ago and Sakura's patience had finally paid off.

Sasuke untangled himself from her bringing Sakura crashing back down to reality. She let out a soft sigh, Sasuke was still Sasuke, what could you expect?

He turned to her window saying, "we need to leave now if we want to make it to The Sound before morning."

Sakura nodded, "what should I bring? How much should I –"

"Nothing," Sasuke replied coldly opening the window letting a cool gust of air rush through the room.

Sakura took a step forward but hesitated, "wait, I want one thing." Sakura grabbed a bag and hurried over to the shelf grabbing a photo album shoving it into the bag. She threw the bag over her shoulder and smiled at him.

Now she was ready.

Sasuke looked at her with those dark emotionless eyes and without a word disappeared out the window and into the night. Sakura quickly followed trying not to lose him, she wasn't going to be a burden to him.

But god she was so tired!

wake up girl! This is one of the most important nights of your life! You better wake up and now! her inner screamed at her.

Sakura nodded picking up her pace so she was somewhat keeping up with Sasuke, but she knew he was slowing down for her but she pretended not to notice. They ran until they were entering the woods outside of Konoha with the moon overhead sending eerie shadows down on the two.

Sakura panted catching her breath, she couldn't do this, she knew she wasn't going to make it to The Sound. She was exhausted she couldn't go any further.

But even if she was fully rested she was physically unable to get to the Sound in a night! If she went as fast as she could she get there in a day but for sure not in a night. Sasuke was as fast as light, he could surely make it in a night if he wanted, but Sakura had never trained to advance to such speeds.

As Sakura was working up the nerve to ask Sasuke if they could set up camp for night she watched in awe as he knelt on one knee in front of her with his back facing her.

"Um,Sasuke?" Sakura questioned looking down on his raven spikes as she shifted from foot to foot nervously, not sure what to do. Was he really going to let her do what he was indicating?

Sakura watched as Sasuke's back moved up and down as he heaved in an agitated sigh, "get on, I want to get there before morning." He left it at that and waited impatiently for her. Sakura inched over slowly and wrapped her arms gingerly around Sasuke's neck like she was afraid she would break him. Sakura felt Sasuke's warm smooth arms press her legs into his sides firmly as he stood up getting ready to jump onto a tree branch.

Sakura rested her cheek on his shoulder so she was facing his ear she breathed in inhaling his musky scent. She sighed and whispered quietly into his ear, "Thank you Sasuke, thank you for everything."

"Hn" he mumbled as he jumped from tree branch tree branch quickly.

Somewhere between looking at the stars and listening to Sasuke's steady breathing as he carried her on his back she fell asleep…

She shifted in bed to look at Sasuke's sleeping face, he looked so peaceful unlike what he usually looked like. She had been able to see his face for 3 months now while living in The Sound with him as his wife. But when he was awake his face always held a look of either boredom, irritation, nothingness, and anger. Sakura treasured the moments when she got to see a different side of Sasuke because it was so rare.

She leaned over slowly wanting so bad to kiss Sasuke's soft lips, she wanted so bad to snuggle into his arms and have him hold her protectively and lovingly. She was inches away from his lips but finally decided against kissing him. She knew that if she kissed him he would wake up and if he woke up he'd get angry with her for waking him up before a mission.

Sakura laid down sadly wanting to touch Sasuke's warm skin and feel his body close to hers. She glanced over to Sasuke once more desperate for some contact with him somehow!

Her eyes scanned him looking for an excuse or a way to wake him or touch him. Then she saw a way.

She noticed Sasuke's hand on top of the blankets. She laid down flat on her back and wriggled discreetly closer to him, she held her breath and wedged her hand under his softly trying to keep from waking him. Sasuke mumbled incoherently but didn't wake up.

Sakura let out a small sigh, mission accomplished. She laced her fingers through his her thumb stroking the back of his hand. She closed her eyes waiting for that feeling of fullness she got from Sasuke, that tingly feeling that filled her warmth and happiness. But the feeling she got this time was a feeling of emptiness like she was missing a part of her.

'Why?' she thought panic stricken, she didn't understand, Sasuke always made her feel happy and complete. Why didn't she get the same feeling tonight?

She quickly pushed her insecure thoughts to the side, focused on the warmth of Sasuke's hand in hers, and let herself succumb to the feeling of sleep that soon overtook her.
