Chapter three:
Just an almost forgot kiss
SakuSakuSakuSakuSaku
The next morning. Sakura's apartment 6 a.m.
SakuSakuSakuSakuSaku
Sakura woke up tangled in her blankets hot and sweaty. She was hot from the desire and passion her dream of Sasuke had given her. It made her hungry for him and his gentle kisses she so desperately missed.
She hated it when she had those dreams. It was those dreams that made her hate being single. You never get rid of those longing feelings by yourself. She thought helplessly. I could take six showers and still be hot for hours on end. She sighed. I'll never forgive him for leaving me with this uncontrollable want. She made an angry face that could kill with one look. I hate you, Uchiha Sasuke.
She sighed. No, I don't. "And that, my dear Sakura, is your problem." she said out loud hugging her knees to herself. "No, comment." said her inner self. Really. She thought sarcastically to 'inner self'.
Her dream had happened after Sasuke had used the Mangekyo Sharingan on her. In thinking she wouldn't know he had shown up and made her think he would return. But after how many time Sasuke and Itachi had used it on her, she had learned how to tell the difference between Mangekyo Sharingan sleep effect and her real dreams. Only thing was no matter how hard she fights it, she is unable to stop the Mangekyo Sharingan from putting her to sleep.
Sakura's dream had felt so real it still burned her flesh. The only problem was for it to be real she would have been naked and in the arms of the man she still loved. But instead she was still wearing her cloths from last night and sadly alone. Nothing about her had changed accept her hot, flushed skin and other things that embarrassed her.
Sakura sat up and turned like an old person by swinging her legs over the bed letting them hit the floor with a thud. She sighed deeply, stood up and started undressing herself as she walked to her bathroom to take a shower. And start the day that she knew was going to be busy and tiring on her mind, body, and soul. But she didn't have a choice today. She had to help the Hokage with her work.

"Ding, dong, ding." The door bell rang a few minutes later as she turned the medium hot water on, to sooth her warm skin. She sighed in annoyance. Sakura already knew who was at the door. So she wrapped a towel around herself and went down stairs to the person ringing her door bell ever so gently, afraid he would break it. "I'm coming. Hold on a second." She said song like as she was half way to the door. She put on a forced happy smile and answered the door with a "Yes?" She asked warmly to the person standing there staring down at her.
The man standing on her front door step was none other then the Hyuuga family prodigy, Hyuuga Neji. He had his usual half smirk on when he sees her. "Hello." He said with curiosity in his voice as he looked her up and down. "Am I interrupting something, Sakura-san?" He asked as he tilted his head to one side with a more sinister smirk on now. His voice had the same curiosity, but there was a hint of huskiness to it. She wasn't surprised anymore by that stuff coming from the great Hyuuga.
"No. Not really, I was just about to take a shower." She said floaty with her words, but still had her forced warm smile on and the words came out kinda sweet. "So, Neji-kun, what brings you here so early in the morning?" Her voice came out sounding tired, a bit annoyed and a tight happy sounding squeak, at the same time. Again her forced warm smile never wavered through the whole time she talked. She knew he knew it was forced. But it was all she could do without breaking down and crying. She then leaned against her doors frame crossing her arms in front of her.
She wasn't in the mood to see anyone yet. She liked him quiet a bit, but right now she didn't want to see him. He winced at her words as if she had hit him in the face. She kinda felt bad about it. "I'm here to pick you up, Haruno-san. I hope you don't mind?" He asked going back to his usual emotionless self. She knew that she had hurt the now warm Hyuuga. But she couldn't help it. She loves Sasuke not him. Or so she told herself. It was partly true.
Neji and Sakura had become close after Sasuke had left Konoha. At the time Neji and Tenten were fighting about stuff and had decided to stop dating each other and see other people. And Sakura was going into a deep depression. When she ran into him. Literally. While running in the forest outside Konoha trying to save herself from the sorrow that Sasuke had left when he did what he did to Naruto and her.
Flash/Back/Flash/Back/Flash/Back
Flashback. Three and half years ago in the forest outside of Konoha village.
Flash/Back/Flash/Back/Flash/Back
Sakura was running in the forest outside Konoha going fast and trying to calm her nerves. Which were fried. She had her eyes closed so her tears wouldn't start falling again. When out of nowhere she runs into something firm, yet soft and was going to bounce off it. When the thing grabbed her and wrapped it's arms around her and held her close. She was caught off guard by this action. Who the? She thought.
"Sorry, Haruno-san. I didn't see you coming. Did I hurt you, any?" Her eyes widened at the velvety yet strong familiar voice. She looked up to see Hyuuga Neji holding her to him. His voice kinda had a worried tone to it. Like he may have hurt her when she ran into him. But as usual the prodigies face was an emotionless mask he wore every single day.
"Oh, no, no, Neji-san. You didn't hurt me." She said quickly shaking her head, closing her eyes, and then smiled up at the tall Hyuuga. "Not at all." "So, what brings you out here so late, Haruno-san?" He asked it as if he didn't care, but his eyes said other wise. "And running as if you were blind, even?" His last comment made her a bit mad, but she just shrugged it off. "I just needed to simply run." She said simply soft as she closed her eyes and bowed her head, sighing ever so gently. Then looked up at him with a grateful look and smile.
After that they just stared at each other for a moment. Then they both realized he was still holding her. So. Very. Closely to. She blushed and he let her go slowly. The slowness of him letting her go made her wonder if she was beginning to like him and/or the other way around. She then noticed his cheeks had a very light tinted pink to them. Her blush deepened at the thought that he may even held the slights of feelings for her. Oh, may.
"So, what brings you here, Neji-san?" She asked as they stood three feet apart from each other and after a very awkward moment of silence. She hated how awkward it had gotten after just standing there for who knows how mean minutes that had passed.
"I just finished a mission with Shikamaru and decided to take a walk." Neji said nonchalantly. He was looking around as if he wanted to see if anyone was around and then focused himself on Sakura. He looked at her for a moment before sighing and finally saying "Because, I do not wish to see Ten-chan or Lee for that matter." Him saying this caught the kunoichi off guard. His voice had a bit of sadness in it. Like he had been hurt.
Why tell me? Is what I wanted to say. But I didn't dare utter those words. She know if he wanted her to tell her the reason, he would. So she just nodded at him with a 'I understand' look.
After another moment passed by them, Sakura had decided that it was late and she had to return home and then to her mentor Tsunade. Whose probably worried out of her mind drunk. "Well... I better be getting back, Neji-san... See you later..." Sakura said with a small warm smile as she turned to leave. But was grabbed by the arm.
Neji? I didn't even feel him coming. "Sakura, don't tell anyone what I had just told you. Do you understand?" He said as he glared her down. His voice came out strong and serious. That it would scary the hell out of you if you were her. But it only made her shudder a little. But the shudder wasn't from his voice, but his touch. Which was unusually hot on her skin. Just like Sasukes. Darn.
"Yes, Nea..." Was all she could say before he captured her lips with his. He now held her by both arms and she was surprised by his action. Her eyes went wide and then closed as she leaned into his deep kiss. This whole experience had been strange to her. But the firm and strong kiss broke her defenses down. How could he do this to me?
But what could it hurt to try kissing with him? And his lips are so soft. I mean Sasuke wouldn't care. She thought. His tongue took her by surprise when it beckoned at her lips to part for entrance. Her lips compiled to his wishes happily with a sigh. At that moment she lost all her thoughts about Sasuke and was only thinking of how good he kissed and the passion that burned with them.
Tenten-chan wasn't lying when she said he was a good kisser. Wow! And I mean, 'WOW'! She thought in pleasure as his tongue brush against hers with such passion and rhythm. They were fighting for each others mouths, tongues, lips, and the hold on the others will power. They both didn't want to stop this passion that burned between them.
For now anyways.

End of Flashback.

The memory of that night made her sorry for ever starting anything with anyone during the first two years. At the time we were both vulnerable and heartbroken. She thought, but half believed it. She knew what she was doing then as well as now.
"No." She said with a sorry sigh. "Could you give me a few minutes. Then I'll be ready to go?" Sakura asked as she stood up straight and looked the Hyuuga prodigy in the eyes. Her voice came out more 'I'm sorry I'm tired' tone. "Yes, I can." Neji in his more soft tone, but his face still emotionless as ever. Damn him! And his stupid emotionless face!
"Come in while I change and wait in my living room, alright?" She asked the Hyuuga stepping out of his way. "Yes." He said simply. He walked passed her make no eye contact with her. Thank god. She thought relieved. But, then no. "I'll back soon, okay. And then we'll live." She said as she walked to her room, went to the bathroom and turned off the water she had forgotten to turn off before going to the door.
She really wanted a shower, but couldn't turn down Neji's kind act. She had hurt him enough times by saying she had to do some stuff that would take to long and she would try to go with him next time around. She changed into her doctors uniform, brushed her hair and teeth. She was now looking into the mirror above her sink. She looked tired to the bone and had dark circles under her jade green eyes. She hated it when she looked older then she really was. Oh, well. Can't change the way I look, now. She thought as haded for the living room.
And without a word Neji got up went to the door and let himself out. She could tell he was sulking in his pity. She walked wordless behind him, closed the door behind her and locked it. They headed for the Hokage's office.
SakuSakuSakuSakuSaku
The day went slow for Sakura after she parted with the Hyuuga at the Tsunade's office. The day was busy with her patients, paper work, and Tsunade's and Kakashi's usual training routine. After everything was done she went straight home to her bed and crashed on sight.
I'm so tired. She thought as she fell asleep at 1:30a.m. But I wonder... what that Uchiha... is doing... right now... That was her last thought as she fell asleep. Unaware that she was being watched from her window by the last person you would expect.

On the roof of Sakura's neighbors building.

The ex-Konoha shinobi was watching the young kunoichi as she slept from the same spot as Sasuke had watched her. His heart yearned for the untouchable pink haired kunoichi. One day I will have you, girl. He thought with his curvy twisted smile that would make anyone think he was insane. Soon. So very soon, my dear. He looked at her one last time before he turning around and ran for the sound village.
Kabuto knew how he would get what he wanted out of the young ninja. She may be the student of one of the great Sannin. But he figured she wouldn't be too hard for him to get if he did it right. She will be mine and so will Konoha and Sound. His smile became more sadistic with each thought. And when I do make her mine.
She will be my lover.
My servant.
And my slave for the rest of her existence. "Hehe haha ha ha ha ha." He began to laugh sadistically low at all he would and could do to the unsuspecting kunoichi.
"Soon." His voice so deep, dark, and full of lust it was frightening. I don't know if he's OOC or not. Fun, huh?
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
What Kabuto didn't know was he was being watched by someone in the shadows as he left Konoha village. This someone watched him like a hawk watches his pray, as he headed back to Sound. This mans eyes were on fire with hate and lust for blood.
Kabuto's blood.
"What was he doing, here?" Said a shadowy figure as he slowly disappeared into the shadows where he stood in. "And what does he want with her?" His malice voice slowly vanishing with him.
