"Hey Sakura-chan what'd that old hag want to talk to you about?" Naruto blurted out, breaking her concentration.
Swallowing against the urge to say nothing she braced herself for what she was about to say. "She just needed to talk to me about the mission." Shrugging her shoulders in a what she hoped looked like a careless whatever.
Both the boys stopped moving. Naruto still trying to figure out what Sakura would have needed to know and Sasuke looking into the distance, his hands slightly clenched to his sides.
Breathing out she shut her eyes before continuing, "I have to get close to the target for this to work."

Naruto blinked. "WHAT! NO PERVERT'S GOING TO SLEEP WITH MY SAKURA-CHAN BUT ME! WA.."
Slam!
Standing over him was a glaring Sasuke.
"What!" Sakura yelled, to mad to be embarrassed.
INNER: Ahh! Ewww! Never ever! Ahhhh! Dammit Naruto!!
Dusting himself off Naruto laughed sheepishly, "I mean, Teme and I aren't going to let some perv touch you Sakura-chan."
Her anger forgotten she smiled nicely at Naruto, touched that he would worry about her this much. Trying not to let what he had said about Sasuke also caring go to heart she snuck a glance over at him. Meeting her gaze he stood watching her closely, his face a dark mask of cold anger. Turning away she couldn't help but feel slightly scared by the look she had seen. His face bringing back past memories of when he had first faced off against Orochimaru had her worrying how he would react over the next couple of days.
"We need this scroll Naruto, I don't like it either. We'll figure out the plan later on don't worry about it now."
Hours later Kakashi met up with his students waiting by the gate to leave. Analysing Sakura he thought back to what Tsunade had told him. Although she was definitely physically strong enough to take on this mission she still seemed much to innocent. Allowing his gaze to travel past her he eyed the other two. Totally at different ends when it came to personality neither would let her innocence be stolen away. This was going to be an interesting mission to say the least.
Pulling out his favorite book he signaled them that it was time to leave.
Staring straight-ahead Sakura couldn't help but feel this mission was different then all the others they had been on together in the past. The air surrounding them seemed fragile as if at any moment all could be broken.
In front of her Naruto walked at a calm pace. Seemingly deep in thought he said nothing, a rare occurrence.
Averting her eyes she looked to her left, to Sasuke. Shocked she found him soundlessly staring back at her, his usual cold exterior broken. Eyes normally iced over, an ocean of black and blue captured her very inner being. Neither looking away or moving towards her, he continued to walk at the same pace, staring directly at her.
Feeling extremely nervous all of a sudden Sakura broke the contact, forcing herself to face forward once again. Body tingling, Sakura cursed her immediate reaction to him, she had promised herself she wouldn't revert back to her old ways. It seemed like she'd need help remembering her self made promise.
Tipping her head, her hair fell in front of her face shielding the pink of her cheeks from the rest of the world.
Moving at a brisk pace they managed to cover more then half the distance in the first day alone. Frowning behind his mask Kakashi watched his students closely. Never had it been this quiet on a mission before. Not that he blamed them, he understood the pressure not to fail but still normally Naruto would have been louder then this. With a knowing glance it was easy to see where the problem lay.
Sakura.
In their own way, both boys worried about what would come. Years of considering her weak and defenseless had ingrained a need to protect in their minds. The idea of knowingly sending her towards the danger went against everything they stood for.
There was something else though, he thought to himself. Although not necessarily bad, something had changed in the last while. Even Sakura, who usually in the face of danger did all that she could to reassure her teammates stayed quiet.
Watching, he witnessed her sending a glance to her side. Following her line of sight he suppressed a chuckle. It seemed some things never changed. Oblivious to him watching her, Sakura continued to sneak looks at her teammate. Sighing to herself she dropped her head once again, a look a dejection on her face. Feeling bad for her, he knew she cared for the Uchiha more then she should and in the end would probably get hurt by it.
A slight movement caught his eye.
Watching covertly he witnessed something he'd thought he'd never see. Staring directly at Team 7's blossom was the Uchiha brat, a look of almost reverence on his face. Seconds later it was gone, calm nothing replacing it. Well, he thought dryly, this was definitely going to be more interesting than his book.
Chuckling to himself quietly he carefully closed his book.
"We'll stop here for the night " Kakashi decided taking his the surroundings. "We'll arrive there by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, which gives us enough time to get checked in and locate the scroll. Naruto you're in charge of food. Sasuke, Sakura firewood. I'll set up camp." Smirking behind his mask, he walked over to a downed tree where he proceeded to read his book once again.
Disgruntled groans could be heard through the trees.
Walking beside Sasuke, Sakura tried to hide her growing discomfort. Her whole body seemed to be strained, unsure whether to run or stay. Lately it had become to easy to loose her head near him and after the weird way he had been acting today she wasn't sure whether to be frightened or excited.
Following his lead she began to quietly look for dry timber, going left while he turned right. Following the stream she randomly grabbed branches off the ground.
Why were boys so hard to understand, she asked herself miserably.
Moonlight reflected off the stream, light ripples shifting over the surface. Fireflies, bright spots in a dark sky illuminated the woods. A faint distance away Naruto's voice could be heard cursing the very existence of fish and their non co-operative ways.
Snap, a twig behind her broke.
Back straight she forced herself to not react visibly, she no longer cowered in fear at the first hint of danger. Concentrating she focused her senses scanning the area for signs of threat.
"Sakura."
She jumped, the wood piled in her arms falling to the ground on both sides of her. Behind her stood Sasuke, his own arms piled high with wood.
Cheeks reddening she mentally cursed her clumsiness around him.
"Sasuke," She nodded, thankful for the darkness surrounding them, hiding her flustered appearance. Her heart already beating faster from just standing this close to him.
Watching her doe-like movement's he dropped his arms, the wood he'd collected falling, piling with hers. Saying nothing he stepped closer, his gaze never leaving her own.
"Sasuke?"
"Don't touch him," The words so quiet she had to strain to hear them. The melodic tone of his voice a cover for the steal behind each word.
Shocked her eyes widened. "What?"
"Tomorrow, don't touch him."
Understanding flooded her, "But…it's…..I have to, the mission." She started.
His eyes flashed, the veil fell, his face a contortion of emotions anger, possession, need…and maybe just maybe love.
"No." A step towards her
"Not him." Another step
"No other," So close
"Never the first time."
With that he crossed the distance between them.
Lips met her own, his need to be closer overpowering. Her body burned at the impact of his lips on hers.
"Let me," He whispered roughly, his features dimmed by the dark.
"Let me."
Responding to the subconscious plea that was older then time itself she pushed against him slowly, her lips opening to his own.
Groaning incoherently Sasuke forcibly brought her even closer. Bodies straining towards each other.
No longer gentle he took what she offered and more. Her first kiss a supposedly gentle moment in truth a storm of power. Fire burned her from the inside, she was going up in flames.
The whole time he watched her face, his face darkening with arrogance at the need he saw in her eyes.
Black clashed violently with turbulent green. Loosening his grip slightly he kept hold of her, his body vibrating against her own. Leaning forward his lips made contact with her ear, nibbling the outer edge. Moving down he moved across her neck playing with her erratic pulse before coming to the curve of her shoulder. Nipping gently he marked her skin causing her to jump. Slowly he laved the area soothing the sting.
Moving back up he stopped at her ear.
"No other."
Stepping back he leant down to collect the wood he had previously dropped, his face hidden in shadow, once again.
Sakura watched him carefully, never had she felt this way before. Never had he been so open and possessive before. Kneeling down she too collected the wood she had dropped, her hands no where near as steady as his own. Falling into step they walked back to camp, neither saying anything, no words needed at the moment.
Her lips swollen and cheeks pink Sakura rushed into the camp dropping her wood off beside her Sensei. Turning she made her excuse of being tired, telling them to wake her when it was her turn to stand watch. Settling down she continued to stare up at the sky watching the stars, her mind a jumble. That night when sleep finally came, her dreams were filled with the haunting feel of lips and the taste that was so explicitly Sasuke.
