Evil me: -throws Tonton out of the window-

Normal (or at least closer) me: NOT FAIR ENVY!

Envy (my split personality, like Inner Sakura, but she refuses to share my name): Who said I had to be fair :P

Kat (and now I refer to myself in third person): B-BUT IT STILL DOESN'T COUNT!!

Envy: You can't count

Kat: o.O Wow. You just dissed yourself.

Envy: DID NOT!

Kat: O.O THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME YOU SCREAMED EVER!

Envy: Just shut up and start the chapter already

Kat: Fine, fine.

Chapter 4

Sakura's POV (I just can't write good things while in Shika's POV Sorry!)

Several hours later we woke up. Plain and simple. Except for the fact that……it wasn't. Somehow we had ended up facing each other, which would have been fine, if there had been any space between us. AT ALL. I'll face the facts right now. I liked being in his embrace, even if he didn't know that he was hugging me in his sleep. I mused at what he thought I might be. Maybe a Teddy bear, or a pillow, or (most shocking of all) maybe he KNEW it was me. I twitched. I didn't mind the idea, but still, it was Shikamaru. I don't know why that stuck me as wrong, it just did. I shook my head and felt him stir. Crap. He wasn't supposed to wake up to an awake me in his arms doing nothing at all to try and break free. So I did the next best thing than trying to fake what he was supposed to wake up to. I pretended to be asleep. I heard Shikamaru stifle a yawn. At least so far it was working.

"Sakura, cut the act and just get up." Kuso. (BTW: Kuso is the d word, which I can't put in here because I still live with my parents, in Japanese.) He knew already. Yet…he didn't give me the space to move to get up. If anything his grip on me had increased. "Erm… Shika…I can't get up." He looked amused as I said this. He slowly almost reluctantly let go and stood up. I, still on he ground, looked up at him. "We overslept." I stated simply. It was true, because it was daytime again. Oh yea, I mentally sweat-dropped, we managed to get to back into Konoha from Mist in a few hours. No duh we overslept. I swore under my breath. Shikamaru cocked an eyebrow.

"Shikamaru," I said a little too sweetly "HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GO NORTH WHEN NETHER OF US KNOWS WHICH WAY NORTH IS?!" I screamed at him. He winced. "There are 13 ways to find north that I can recall." (An: These actually do work, if you live in the northern hemisphere.) He said and leaned up against a tree. "Ok, what are they?" I asked, still looking up at him.

"Use a compass." I fumed "IF I HAD A FREAKIN COMPASS I WOULD HAVE USED IT YESTERDAY BAKA!" I screamed at him. He twitched. "IM NOT FINISHED WOMAN!" He screamed back at me. "It's Sakura." I replied bluntly. His eye twitched. "Put a magnetized needle in a container filled with still water." He said completely ignoring what I had just said. "Next." I said simply and waved my hand. I swiched positions and was sitting cross-legged in front of him. "Well, we could wach the clouds." I sweat dropped. "And how could being a lazy bum possibly help us find the cabin?" He gave me a look and lay down next to me. "Well woman-" "Its Sakura." He visibly twitched again. "Clouds generally move west-to-east. If we can figure out which direction west and east are we can figure out which direction north is." He explained. "Brilliance!" I exclaimed.

So we just lay in the clearing and watched the clouds until we got a good sense of which way west was. It was to our left and that meant that straight ahead was north. I stood up, but felt a tug at my wrist. "Lets just wach the clouds Sakura." Shikamaru told me. I agreed and lay back down. I rested my head on his chest, and admired the peace of the day.

I sighed. "If we want to get there before night fall we might want to get going…" I said trailing off. We had been lying there for about two hours now. He reluctantly nodded and got up. He offered me a hand, which I gratefully accepted. I stood up, but didn't release his hand. He looked down at our linked hands, then back at me. I offered him a smile and we walked to the cabin.

It was fairly big and when I opened the door I was surprised, and not exactly pleasantly. There was a kitchen a living room and a bedroom. Singular. One. That didn't bother me mush until I looked in it. One bed. I quickly checked the living room. No couch. There was defiantly something up.

While I was freaking out about the sleeping predicament Shikamaru had walked into the kitchen. There were two notes on the kitchen table. One was addressed to me, the other to Shikamaru. He picked both up and took mine to me. We opened them. The writing was……Tsunade's. My mentor. I read my letter.

Dear Sakura,

I know you're confused right now, but so am I. Kakashi told me to tell you this: Someone you know is going to come to the cabin in two weeks and straighten all of this out. I don't know who yet, or what Kakashi's planning, but it's probably perverted.

Take care,

-Tsunade

Great. Just what I need. Another cryptic letter with a message. Shikamaru handed his note to me, with a grimace. I handed him mine and read his.

Shikamaru,

Read Sakura's note to get the message Kakashi told me to give you. Just a warning, if you dare hurt Sakura in any way, shape, or form I will personally make sure you can't ever have kids. Heed my warning.

-Tsunade.

I gulped. Tsunade was waaay too overprotective of me. Well, two weeks in the cabin. Doesn't sound too bad, right?

Right?
