A/N: Gomenasai for the last chapter! i know it was really short, but this chapter will DEFINITELY make up for it!

Think of this chapter as a "Naruto: Shippuden Special!"


Later that day, at around 5:30, I had already finished cleaning around the house and taking a bath. I chose to wear a dressy top with skinny jeans and flats. I looked in the mirror and tousled my bangs a little, grabbed my black clutch and keys, and headed off to the café.

As I turned the corner leading to the café, I immediately spotted Sasuke sitting at a table outside holding a cup of tea. "Sasuke!" I called as I waved and headed over to where he was sitting.

"Hey Sakura. You look pretty." He said as he put his tea down, a hint of a smile on his face.

"Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself." I told him.

Actually, he didn't look half bad, even if he was dressed in mostly all black again. He was wearing a black polo with none other than his clan crest on the back, and his- well what I now know as becoming his- trademark skinny jeans in a dark-wash color.

He smirked and asked if I was ready to go to the movies. I replied with a "Sure." And we started walking to the theater. While we were walking, we talked about our day, and other small things. We passed by a small flower shop and Sasuke told me to wait outside while he asked about something. When he went in, I let out a big sigh. Sometimes it's easy to be with Sasuke, but other times, I just don't know how to compose my self. I unconsciously gripped my clutch harder.

Could I actually like Sasuke more than a friend?

Get a grip Sakura, I told myself. It's never going to happen.

Sasuke then came out and said, "ok. Let's go." He motioned for me to move by placing his hand on the small of my back, while his other hand was in his pocket. While we continued walking, I looked up at him. He had an expressionless face on, so I looked back down and concentrated on walking. When we got to the movies, he paid for my ticket, to my dissatisfaction, and we went to go take our seats. We chose to see a horror flick and a couple times, because the movie was so damn scary, I grabbed his hand.

When the movie was done, and everyone was slowly filling the lobby, talking about the movie they just saw, Sasuke asked if I was hungry. I wasn't that hungry, remembering that I had eaten a big early dinner before. I politely declined the offer and told him that we should just head back. He shrugged and said ok. When we started walking back, we talked about the movie and about what our weekend plans were. I heard distant thunderclouds, but I didn't pay any mind to it. We ended up going to the park and sitting on a bench.

"Sakura. I have something for you." Sasuke said as we sat down. He made some hand signs and in a puff of smoke, a single rose appeared on his lap. He untied what looked like a summoning seal off of the stem and handed it to me.

"I had asked the flower shop to add a seal to it so I could give it to you at a later time…" he said while looking down, one hand scratching the back of his head- something he undoubtedly picked up from Naruto. I chuckled at the sight.

"Thank you Sasuke." I said, giving him a warm smile. He smiled back at me.

That's when it started to rain. Hard.

We both shouted and started to run back to my house. It was still raining when we got there, and I fumbled for my keys as I tried to get the door open. Sasuke was about to leave as he saw me open the door, but I grabbed his hand and almost yanked him inside. We were both pretty soaked.

"Your going to catch a cold if you walk back in that rain Sasuke. Here, let me get you a towel." I sat him down on the couch and ran upstairs to grab a towel from the closet. When I came back downstairs, I wrapped the towel over his head…

And that's when the lights went out.

Could it get any worse?

"Hold on Sasuke," I told him, "Let me get some matches."

"Hn"

I felt my way to the kitchen, fumbling for the matches. I was so glad that my mom had collected candles in the living room. I found the matches and headed back to the living room, lighting a stick so I could see. Once the candles were lit, I sat down next to Sasuke, who was trying to dry his head. He was having a hard time, so I reached over and gave his head a few rubs, his hands slowly falling towards his lap. Once I was done, I lifted part of the towel that was covering his face. He slowly looked up towards me, his cheeks burning red and his eyes starting to water. I just stared at him, not knowing what to do. He realized that he was about to cry and quickly lowered the towel back over his face.

"I-I'm sorry. I just…it reminded me of…my mom."

It hit then like a ton of bricks. I never stopped to reflect on how Sasuke took his parents death. Or his whole clan for that matter. When we first sat down with Kakashi-sensei that day, he never showed any emotion except for hatred towards Itachi. But now I can't imagine him bearing this by himself.

I hugged him tightly, whispering, "I'm sorry" and "It's ok" A couple of times. When I let go, I lifted the towel again and wiped his eyes. He lifted his hands to my face, and slowly brought his face towards mine. He was too close, but it was already too late to push him away.

I was intoxicated.

"Arigatou Sakura." He said before he brought his lips to mine, never letting go. I let out a soft sigh and closed my eyes -full intoxication taking effect- and slowly fell backwards on the couch, his lips never leaving mine, his hands wrapping around my shoulders. My hair. I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck. He slowly moved his tongue around, committing it to memory. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't find the courage to push him away.

There was never a time in my life where I wanted him so bad as I did now.

He slowly started to pull away, but I didn't want him to. I took the initiative to bring him down closer, kissing him back a little fiercer, letting him know 'No. I don't want you to go yet.' And this time I took charge, committing his taste to memory. He let out a soft groan, but started to pull away. I let him, knowing he would have pulled away even if I didn't let him. I looked at him, my arms still wrapped around his neck. His cheeks were still burning red from the kiss, but his eyes showed a desire that would have even me tremble if I had not been so intoxicated with his scent. His feel. He slowly started to sit up and, because my arms were still wrapped around him, he pulled me up as well. Then he embraced me as well.

"Sakura…Sakura…" he whispered my name over and over in my ear. He hugged me tighter, as if I was going to leave, or if I were just a dream.

Bakka Sasuke, I thought with a faint smile on my face, look what you did to me.

His grip gradually started to loosen, and I quietly called his name. When he didn't respond, I slowly loosened my grip and found that he had fallen asleep. Again thanking Kami-sama that my mother was not home and it was the weekend, I laid him out on the couch, ran upstairs to grab a blanket, and came back down to rest it on top of him. I sat there for a few short minutes, watching him sleep peacefully. "Goodnight Sasuke" I said as kissed his forehead and blew out the candles, heading upstairs to, or attempt to, get some rest.


What have I done?

As I recalled last night's events, I grew pale. The next morning, I had awoken from a bad dream. I was torn between Sasuke and Naruto. Both parties wanted me for themselves, but only one could have my heart.

I got up, brushed my teeth, and went downstairs. I leaned over the couch to see Sasuke still sleeping soundly. I checked the clock on the wall and it had read 10:15. I walked over and sat down besides Sasuke, brushing his long bangs away from his face, quietly calling his name so he would wake up. He stirred and his eyes opened, a smile forming on his face when he saw me.

"Hey." He said, lifting his hand to rub the sleep off.

"Hey yourself," I said. "It's time for you to wake up now. Upstairs, down the hall to the left, is my room; I added an extra towel and toothbrush so you can wash up, ok?"

"Hai." He said as he got up, stretched, and walked upstairs. I sighed again and went to go make some breakfast.


"Breakfast is ready!" I called out.

As I was rinsing some plates, I didn't hear Sasuke come up behind me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder. "Hmmm. Smells good in here." He said. He hugged me tighter and started to whisper my name again, kissing my cheek, slowly working his way down my neck. I slowly dropped the plates in the sink and unconsciously gripped the edge, afraid if left standing, i would fall.

Boy does he know how to get me intoxicated.

His poison already started to take effect again, but my inner Sakura stopped me before it was too late.

"Don't do it! You still haven't made up your mind remember? Don't feed the fire!!"

That snapped me back to reality. Breathless, I managed to tell him breakfast was on the table.

He stopped his kisses and reluctantly let go of me, hunger getting the best of him.

I wiped the plates with a cloth and set them down. Once we were seated, we both said "Itadakimasu" and began to eat.

We ate in silence, both of us occasionally looking up at each other during the meal. After we were done, I took our plates and set them in the sink. I served us something to drink. He took the cup and I sat down. There was silence for a while, but I broke the silence.

"Sasuke…about last night…"

"No it was my fault. You were only helping me out, but I couldn't hold back anymore. Sakura… I-"

"-But it was my fault for leading you on." I interjected. Did I really know what I was saying at this point? A part of me wanted naturally to be with Sasuke, but another part of me couldn't bear to see Naruto alone, like he always has been. But I didn't know how to justify last night.

I Looked into Sasuke's eyes, but he averted them, avoiding my gaze. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but closed it again, a small frown forming on his face. To encourage him, I placed my hands on his. He understood the gesture, and that gave him some comfort and confidence.

" Ever Since I saw you on the first day back from school, something just… I don't know how to put it in words… and then when we were at the park… it happened again. These feelings I kept bottled up. I couldn't hold them anymore, so I let them go last night… and… I'm sorry if this is overwhelming," he looked down as he said this, " I understand if you don't feel the same way as I do… but I needed you to know."

This was too much for me. I wasn't even sure of my own feelings, let alone accept his! I mean, he never returned my feelings before, but now its different? I also have Naruto to think about. I needed to think about this. Hard.

I walked over and embraced him. He returned the gesture, wrapping his arms around my shoulders. "Arigatou for telling me, Sasuke. But I still don't know what my feelings are yet.

The next things that came in my mind made me feel like I was taking advantage of Sasuke, but I said them anyways.

We can do this, just to see how it goes. But it's unofficial; don't go spreading it around just yet. If I do this, I don't want to break your heart, but I need to find what I feel in my heart…"

My arms still linked, He sat me down on his lap and gently took my face in his hands. The look on his face was purely happiness. He brought my face close to his and said "Arigatou Sakura…" as he kissed me.
