Chapter 2

Sasuke woke with a slight start. He was breathing slightly heavily. As he came to he took in a deep breath and exhaled loudly. To his side was one of the prettiest things in the world. Her long blonde, was a mess and looked so beautiful now in the morning. Her relaxed breathing was entrancing and she wore a smile on her face. She smelled like the forest, like rainfall, and occasionally her eyes when open would glow like tropical ocean waters. He reached out to stroke her smooth white slightly pale skin. Suddenly her eyes opened quickly and focused in on him. She was wearing her playful smile. "Got ya." She said while wearing her smile. Her white teeth –Sasuke thought- were incredibly cute, especially when she smiled.

"Good morning." Sasuke said as he went in to kiss her.

"Aah!" she quietly playfully screamed as she turned around pulling all the sheets in the bed with her. She was playing hard to get, Sasuke enjoyed this.

"Come on… wouldn't you like to kiss me?"

"Nnno." She said as she pulled the covers overhead. Sasuke moved over to her ear and tried another approach. He made his voice soft, and quietly and with the most seductive voice he could muster whispered in her ear "I'll make it worth your while." She stood still motionless… then quickly jumped out of the sheets in an explosion of energy, straddled Sasuke and pinned him to the bed.

"Worth my while? What about you Sasuke? I think you've been stressed lately, you need something to take your mind off of things."

Sasuke painfully remembered his previous afternoon. The guilt was almost too much to bear. He almost gave in, and came clean, but held on with all the strength he had against his conscience. He couldn't do this to Reika. "Do it for Rei… he told his conscience." The assault ceased.

He felt Rei's soft lips kissing his. He kissed her with much passion pulling her close, forcing her to lie down on him. He threw his left arm around her waist, and put his right arm on her shoulders while placing his hand on the back of her head. Rei let out a slight gasp as he held her close. She loved it when their bodies were pressed against each other, and how intense Sasuke always was. He was the perfect boyfriend. He would write her occasional songs, knew how to make her feel good in every sense of the word, never forgot birthdays, important dates, he bought and made her things… he seemed flawless, and she loved it. As their make out session went on, Sasuke got more and more passionate. The two finally stopped after they realized they both had to get on with their day.

They left Rei's small room after quick showers (Sasuke offered to shower together, but quickly reconsidered when he remembered Rei took way too long in the shower.) Today he was in a good mood. No, he was in an excellent mood. At the end of the day he returned to his room, and realized that he hadn't thought of Sakura all day long. Rei had completely stolen his attention away from the problem. "Rei may not be the one… but she's a definite cure for heartache…"

He sat himself down on the edge of his bed, watching the sunset from his bed. For the first time in a long time he smiled and realized that it was ok. Then as if his day was worth nothing, his brain thought of Sakura's day. He imagined her with Naruto doing what he and Rei did this morning. The jealousy was almost unbearable. "It's time to move on Sasuke… you can't think of that damn slut who cheated on you. She doesn't even feel for you any more. Forget it."

Sasuke let out an extremely painful and frustrated sigh and buried his head in his hands. "Leave me alone Sakura… please."
