Fang again! so this chappy is partly about Akane and partly about Sasuke. brief rundown if you can't take hints don't read if you don't want to know straight away.
Sasuke, Itachi, and Madara/Tobi are all alive. Obito was killed by a crime lord of different country. (like Gato in the land of waves) Said crime lord also saw the Uchiha clan as a very definate threat to his safety (or something, idk) and had ninja murder the entire Uchiha clan one night. Sasuke was staying at Shikamaru's house, Itachi was on a mission, and Madara/Tobi was out in the world somewhere being badass and cuddly.
ok? so, now that you hav teh history of Uchiha, READ ON!
p.s. a little bit of fluff at the end, so X3 idk, i really wanted to make this one a fluff filler chapter, just to be a fangirl(even tho i hate Sasuke. i'm a DeiDei fangirl)

So as always, read, review, and tell me whatcha think!!!

"Oh Sasuke, hey, you out of the hospital too?" Shikamaru spotted Sasuke leaning on a tree, watching the crowds go by on the street.

"Yeah, I was better a few days ago but Tsunade-hime, came and asked me to help the Suna girl around Konoha." Sasuke looked exasperated. "MAN, how can that chick sleep for that long? I don't get it! I'm going to go inside and do my duties as guide." Sasuke walked away.

"More like watch her sleep for another five days."

"Say what, you lazy bum?"

"Nothing, nothing." Shikamaru smirked when he saw the slight blush playing on Sasuke's pale cheeks.

Sasuke went inside and the nurse looked up. "Oh, yes, Tsunade-sama told me you'd be helping the girl. Same room." Sasuke nodded and let himself in.

Sasuke looked at the green haired girl lying peacefully in front of him. Her slow breathing was like a lullaby to him, washing away all his anger and hatred, leaving only the happiness.

"Happiness" Sasuke murmured softly to himself. It was something he didn't have often. A gift. A memory, mostly though. Sasuke got up from the little plastic hospital chair and walked over to the bed. His eyes traced over the heavy makeup she wore, the smooth skin, and the faint scars of battle on her neck and cheeks. To Sasuke, she was beautiful. Beautiful...

"NO." Sasuke walked away suddenly and threw his arms in the air. 'I promised myself I wouldn't fall in love, I promised I wouldn't move on until I found my parents killer, until Onii-chan and Uncle Obito were avenged!!!'

But even over the screaming inside his head, he could hear the slow, rhythinc breathing of Akane. 'Why does she always make me feel so whole? So…happy…"

He turned and looked at her, lying there, so innocent and unaware of the war raging in Sasuke's mind. His soft footsteps seemed to echo in the mostly empty room as he walked over to her. His pale hand trembled as he touched her warm cheek. She mumbled unintelligibly in her sleep, and Sasuke smiled. Her face twitched and she frowned, and Sasuke's mind was flooded by the images playing on her eyelids as she dreamed.

Sand, everywhere, sand. In the distance a young boy with blue-green eyes and long blonde hair stood crying. A man with blonde hair as well shed a single tear for the baby he had placed safely within the walls of Sunagakure, and he touched her cheek,"please dont hate me, my little one." He took out a blank ninja headband from his pocket and scratched A-K-A-N-E into the metal with his Kunai, along with a slightly wrong version of the Konoha leaf. He placed the headband the baby's blanket. The little boy ran forward and picked up the baby. From around his neck he took a silver talisman with the Iwagakure symbol on it and moved to put it on the baby's neck but was stopped by his father. "No, she can't find us. She can't know." The boy started crying again and held his sister close, in her sleep she mumbled. The man picked up his daughter, and touched her cheek, and three red triangles appered under her left eye. He held his hand there and the memories of her, all the ones he ever had, were stored within her. The young boy did the same. The baby was put inside the entrance to Sunagakure and the two ninja walked away. From up near the gate, a young sandy blonde-haired girl on a flying fan came down from the sky and picked up the baby. "Iwagakure" she murmured, touching the pendant the boy had secretly stored within her blanket. "someday, when she's ready she'll have to be told." The Girl looked out into the distance at an approaching sandstorm, and the fading figures of the baby's family. The girl turned, and walked away.

A young blonde girl dyes her hair green for the first time.

The green-haired girl throws Kunai at a target, being watched secretly by a little red-haired boy with dark ring's around his eyes.

The green-haired girl is bestowed her Sunagakure Ninja headband.

The girl is told about the headband that her parents left her by the sandy blonde who shows the headband. The girl runs away with the headband and is out of the city before the sandy blonde can tell her what really happened.

Ichiraku's

The road near the Uchiha estate.

Tsnade-hime's office.

Sasuke sleeping.

Sasuke blushing, smiling, laughing at her.

Sasuke tears his hand from the girl's cheek, and looks at her. 'She dosn't know the truth....' He thought 'She's fighting a battle she can't win without the truth, like me.' Sasuke felt empathy for the girl, who never knew her parents. He touched her hand and held it. He leaned forward towards her face, and his lips lightly touched her cheek.

Sasuke spent the next two days with Akane, in the hospital, mostly stroking her face and hair. He watched her sleep, so peaceful, and fell sleep next to her sittling down with his head lying on the bed next to her.

On the morning of the third day Akane woke to a warm body near her, a heartbeat that wasn't Toboe, but still very familliar. Akane opened her eyes and sat up on her elbows. There, sleeping, with his head on the bed and a little pool of drool at the corner of his mouth, was Sasuke. Only then did she realize his hand held hers and his fingers were interlaced with her own. She smiled at the pale boy, a fizzy, wonderful feeling was welling up inside her chest. Akane poked Sasuke lightly on the head to make sure he was completely asleep, which he was, and moved his head onto her stomach, where it felt more comfortable. Akane touched sasuke's hair and was shocked at how soft it was. She ran her fingers through it and enjoyed the warm sun on her body. A sense of peace blanketed the room, and lulled her back to sleep.

Sasuke woke with his head rising and fallling, and odd sensation. He felt his fingers were still entwined with Akane's and her other hand held a lock of his hair.

He sat up and Akane's hand fel with a soft thump onto her stomach. Her eyes fluttered open.

"Mornin" She said, yawning hugely.

"It's afternoon, almost evening." Sasuke teased her and smiled softly.

"Oops" Akane sat up and stretched. "Who cares though?" The butterflies were back in her tummy, but...why?

Sasuke stood and stretched his back. He held out his hand for akane to take, but she just looked at him like he was an alien.

"We can't have you knocking over everything like last time. It was quite a mess you know." Akane took his hand and got out of bed, her naked feet sensitive to the cold floor. She looked up and found her face inches from Sasuke's, Color rose in her cheeks as she began to back away, but his grip on her was strong and all she managed to do was put herself in an even more nerve-wracking position. She had moved away, but insted had topled over, landing on her back, with Sasuke on top of her, their noses practically touching. She could hear her heart beating super fast and swore he could too.

'Oh shit. OH SHIT!!!' Sasuke could feel his lower half tingling and heard his heart pounding. Her face was so close, he could see the different shades of blue and green flecks in her eyes. She was so pretty. His eyes were closing on their own, his face moving in microscompic increments towars hers, their lips just barely touching, their hearts beating at the speed of light...

"OH FUCK NO YOU DON"T BITCH!" a screetch came from outside as Ino pounced on the window, smacking her face against the glass, shattering it, and she fell thirty feet down on her chest.

Akane and Sasuke, shocked, scrambled to the window and looked down. Ino was twitching slighly and she was scratched up.

After about a half an hour later, Ino was in a hospital bed. Her face was cut up from the glass, she had a broken nose, a broken rib, a minor fracture in her hip, and a nurse had said she would be bedridden for at least three weeks.

Sasuke and Akane were walking together on the dusty streets of Konoha, a peaceful scilence in the air. Sasuke was talking about Konoha, and about the places in it. Akane was trying to keep up.

"and that's Ichiraku ramen stand, more often than not, you'll see naruto there."

"ok, ok, ok, that's great, but it would be better if you just showed me the big picture." Akane frowned and scratched the back of her head. "Like a cliff or something where i can see the whole villiage from."

Sasuke blushed at the thought of the two of them alone on top of hokage mountain. He had thought of that before, but hadn't done it, at the risk of having another moment like in hospital before, but she suggested it, so Sasuke smiled, grabbed her hand and took off at a fast paced run.

Thier trek carried them down the central road to the Hokage mansion. Sasuke tore through the house, making his way up to the Hokage's office, where Tsunade was napping, a nose bubble gently growing and shrinking. Sasuke walked over and shook the woman.

"Ne? Yes Uchiha?" Tsunade mumbled sleepily. her nose bubble popped.

"i want to go on top of Hokage mountain." Sasuke just stated the fact.

"sure sure, just dont go pokeing your nose where it doesnt belong." And tsunade was asleep once more. her nose bubble back to it's gowing and shrinking.

Sasuke walked out of the room chuckling. "She'd dead drunk." he whispered, shutting the door quietly. Akane giggled and followed Sasuke through twisting hallways. Eventually they came to a door at the end of a hallway. sasuke opened the door and let Akane go first. She blushed and walked out into the warm evening air.

Sasuke took her hand and walked over to the edge of a railing. "How's this view?" He turned to her and smiled when he saw her expression, pure joy. The breeze made her hair fly forward, and dance across her face.

"It's absolutely beautiful." She sighed and looked out into the distance.

"You really are." Sasuke whispered to himself, feeling the now familliar bubbles in his stomach. "You really are."

"Hmm?" Akane looked over at sasuke.

"N-nothing." Sasuke blushed feircely.

"You're blushing"

"Am not"

"You are" Akane turned all the way towards Sasuke and touched his face. "Your face is hot."

Sasuke blushed even more, and his face resembled a tomato. Akane took a step towards him so that their bodies were touching. He could feel her heart beating fast, just like his own. He put his arm around her waist and leaned his face closer to hers. She put her arms around his neck, her eyes closed slowly, and their faces hovered a millimeter apart. Their foreheads were touching. Their eyes closed, both taking in the scent of the other, and the warmpth that the other gave off. Akane was the one to give in. She stood on her toes and pressed her lips to his.

the only word to describe the feeling is

FIRE
