Ah! Sumimasen! This chapter is very looooong! Though for those of you who have read my other story, you'll know perfectly well my special talent is stalling.

Chapter 7

Sasuke walked slowly down the empty street. People had long since returned to their homes and many shops were already closed for the night. Still, the Uchiha floated among the dark, empty houses, thinking of the song Sakura had sang for him hours ago. The tune and lyrics were still fresh in his mind, burned into him as if written on his flesh with hot iron. He stopped, staring at the ground and recapped once again, finding himself humming the melody.

"When you come close to selling out…reconsider…" he sang the fateful words in an almost inaudible tone. He looked down at his hands, slightly shaking from the bitter cold of the night. "Am…am I just like my brother?"

Now, standing in front of door to his room, he clenched his fist and let his fingernails stab into his palm. He couldn't bring himself to go inside just yet. What would he say to her anyways? He probably pushed her past hatred and into deep loath by now.

Maybe, he thought as he reached up for the door handle, she just forgot… he forced his hand back down by his side, It only happened a few hours ago...stupid. He felt the need to insult someone, even if it was himself. Taking a deep breath, he let it out slowly as he pushed the door open slightly and peeked inside. It was completely dark and he could sense no movement, she must be asleep. Silently, he slipped inside and shut the door behind him.

He glided over to the bed and placed his knee on the edge of the mattress. Hearing her groan, he retreated. Silence. Sasuke crawled gentle to the other side of the bed and his back pressed against the wall with the inky form that was Sakura only a few inches from his knees. Gently, he placed a hand on her shoulder and shook her very slightly, trying to wake her as nicely as possible.

Before he knew it, his wrist was being pressed harshly against the wall with a sharp kunai to his throat. Oh no, was this one of Orochimaru's men? Where was Sakura? Both sat in the heavy silence, listening to each other's calm breathes.

"S-Sasuke?" Sakura's voice whispered from the form that had him trapped.

"It's me…" he breathed back.

Sakura sighed and let go of his wrist, pulling her kunai back and dropping it on the floor next to the bed. Sasuke was relieved. For a moment there, he thought something had happened to Sakura, that Orochimaru had taken her away from him.

"Do you have any idea how late it is? I was worried…" she whispered back to him, her arms wrapped around her shoulders trying to warm up. For some reason, the thought that she was worried about him made Sasuke feel a bit lightheaded.

"It's really cold tonight too." She continued, placing her hands on her shoulders to try and warm herself up.

Not a moment after she spoke, Sakura felt two arms wrap around her and she was pulled against the cool skin of Sasuke's chest. Her hands dropped to her sides as she was completely stunned from the action that she wasn't sure actually happened. She felt a strong hand slide up her back and icy fingers against her neck and tangle with her short pink locks. He was cold, but somehow, Sakura felt warmer in his arms.

"I'm…sorry…" he breathed, tickling her ears, "I didn't…I didn't mean to hurt you…"

"Sasuke-kun…" she lifted her hands, struggling with the decision to hug him back, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things…you did what you had to do…" she didn't believe that, but still, she did feel bad for being so harsh.

"Shut up." His words were broken and shaky even though they were meant to be stern. She felt his body shiver against her and she pulled away, placing her hands on the insides of his elbows. Was he…going to cry? Sakura reached up and brushed her thumb over his cheek. It was dry.

"You're cold." She stated, pulling the blanket from under them and pulling it over Sasuke's shoulders. He made no effort to hold onto it and it fell back in a heap on the bed.

"Sakura…"

"Hm?"

"Have you ever been kissed?"

"Huh?" the question was so random it nearly threw her off, "Y-yes. Once…with Naruto." again Sasuke felt the same pain in his heart from when Sakura had told him about Rock Lee, only this time it was Naruto and the unfamiliar pain was worse.

"It was raining outside, pouring really, and I was foolishly standing out by the village gates. It was sweet…how he wanted to make me feel better."

"Why?"

"Why…did it make me feel better?"

"Why were you standing by the gates?"

"Oh…I…no reason…"

His lips curled into an almost-smile and he leaned closer to her. "You were just…standing in the rain…by the gates?" Sakura gave him no answer, "Were you waiting for something?"

"I…don't know. It was a long time ago…" her voice was smaller now.

"Sakura."

She tilted her head up towards him, struggling to see the Uchiha's features in the darkness. She blushed, finding he was only centimeters from her, looking at her with his stoic expression frozen on his face.

"Who were you waiting for?"

Sakura bit her bottom lip, her memories triggering painful emotions. She took in a broken breath of air and swallowed. She hardly had time to exhale before cool lips were pressed against hers and she was trapped in a kiss. Sakura trembled, grasping his arms as he pressed harder against her, his body filling with warmth. She moved closer to him and ran her hands up to his shoulders. For that moment, nothing else mattered to the Uchiha, and that scared him.

Abruptly, the soothing pressure that once wrapped around Sakura jerked away and she heard the thud of Sasuke pushing back against the wall and panting hard. Was she that bad of a kisser?

Sasuke clenched the collar of his white robe with his hand, rubbing his forehead with the other. This is why he never let himself get close to anyone. He couldn't afford to lose sight of his goal. Why? Why did he even let himself get this close to, of all women, Sakura?

His felt his heart skip a beat as delicate fingers slid up his arms and Sakura's slender form moved closer to him, pressing against his chest and capturing him between her and the wall.

"Sakura…I can't…I care about you to much to…let you..."

"I know."

Their lips met again, her sweet taste flooding the Uchiha, and though he never really had much of a sweet-tooth, Sasuke enjoyed the exotic flavor. He held the back of her head once again and deepened the kiss, his other hand snaking around her back. The building warmth in his belly grew hotter as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Curiously, he pressed his tongue against her lips, asking for entrance and to his surprise she eagerly accepted, greeting his tongue with her own. She caressed and massaged his tongue and gently as she ran her fingertips down his neck and shoulder, exciting Sasuke, making him crave more. He pulled her closer and leaned in, yet she persisted in lightly touching him like he was fragile glass.

His breathing grew heavier until he pushed her back onto the bed, crawling on top of her as he forced his tongue back into her mouth into a heated kiss. This is wrong… though no matter how many times he sang that in his head, Sasuke didn't stop. He broke away from the kiss and began trailing kisses along her jaw line then down her slender neck. Sakura gasped, the air chilling the wet saliva Sasuke left over her skin and in a moment she found her self tugging at the loose collar of his shirt. He looked up at her from her collar bone, feeling her frustration with his clothes and happily complied, pulling his shirt off and tossing it on the floor.

She gazed up at him, the moonlight streaming in from the window giving just enough light to see his perfectly shaped body. She reached up and lightly traced his abs, feeling three years of training. She blushed, tracing downward when Sasuke grabbed hold of her wrist. She looked up at him with pouting eyes and he grinned.

"You're to gentle."

He followed her arm with his eyes down to the knot of her kimono. Sasuke…don't…you won't be able…to stop…he cursed at himself as he slid his free hand across her flat belly and with a quick flick of his wrist, pulled the knot apart. The flaps of the kimono slid apart, revealing Sakura's bare form underneath. Sakura shivered, the cold night air brushing over her naked skin and she pulled the kimono over her shoulders. The warmth of desire in his stomach was now flaring. Sasuke could feel his blood pulsing and he thought, if she could do that to him just by looking...

Sasuke leaned back down on her, pressing their chests together as he kissed Sakura passionately before moving downward some and cupping her breast in his hand, making her inhale sharply. Messaging it for a moment, he leaned down and flicked his tongue over her pink nipple. He felt her body tense under him, driving him to continue as he took the nipple in his mouth, licking and gently sucking as he toyed with the other.

Sakura gasped, running her fingers through his hair and tightening her her grip with every passing wave, the pain only excited the Uchiha further. She rubbed her legs together, feeling a growing heat down in her netherlands. Feeling this, he grinned to himself and moved down her torso, licking and kissing. He stopped and dipped his tongue into her belly button, causing her to gasp and buck against him. The annoying voice in Sasuke head was all but silenced as he continued trailing kisses down her stomach. Sakura gasped, the cool, night air chilling the wet trails he left behind as he crept towards her mound.

Sakura bit her bottom lip, eagerly waiting for him to continue when he seemed to avoid her area and kissed down the inside of her leg.

"Sasuke..." she whined, clenching her eyes shut and trying not to giggled, his kisses tickling her. Sasuke looked up at her and grinned slightly.

"I'm such a tease."

He lifted himself up near her and gently blew against her heated mound, making her whimper and slightly buck.

"Jumpy..." he commented.

"Sh...shut up..."

He leaned in, gently gliding his tongue over her lips and in an instant heard her moan. He held her hip and pushed his tongue into her, licking up and down and causing a gasp of air from the pink haired woman under him. She writhed and moaned as he drew lazy circles with his tongue, making her moist. Sasuke clenched her hip, stopping her from bucking and heard her wimper in frustration. Gently, he ran his tongue bluntly over a small bundle of nerves and felt her shiver as her breath caught in her throat, giving a broken moan.

"S-Sasuke..." she breathed, closing her eyes and smiling softly.

That sound, the way she said his name threw a wave of heat down his body and settle in his groin. He held back a grunt as he licked the bundle once again, instilling a louder moan from the girl. She grasped for the bed sheet and arched her back slightly as Sasuke looked up at her. The hot pressure built up and his pants felt tighter as he continued to experiment, gently sucking and licking, bringing moans and sighs that grew louder as she neared her edge. Suddenly, his warm breath dissipated and Sakura looked over at him, propping herself up with on her elbows.

He sat upright, breathing heavily and staring down at her, her own juices visible on his lips. She blinked and titled her head, looking at him with a worried expression. He looked her up and down, seeing her pale, naked form and clenched his eyes shut, his pants painfully restricting him. Steadying his breath, Sasuke tugged at the rope that acted as his belt. Immediately it came loose and his pants slipped passed his stiff erection and fell in a pile around his knees. Sakura blushed heavily, looking down at his large size then back up at him and very discreetly nodded.

As if relieved, Sasuke leaned forward, holding himself up with one arm and bending her knee with the other. She felt her moist lips at his tip and the warmth she let out engulfed him so that he clenched his eyes shut once again, feeling himself stiffen yet. Slowly, he pushed into her, shaking as he held back the urge to start pumping unto her. She reached up and grasped his shoulder, looking into his face as she stretched around his length. Once again, he stopped.

Sasuke gasped, leaning his forehead on her bare shoulder, feeling her maidenhead in his way. This was his now. He finally had one of her firsts. Happiness washed over him in another wave of heat and he smiled with the knowledge that he would own her virginity.

"Sasuke-kun..." she whispered, bringing his attention to her, "It's okay..."

Her arms wrapped around his neck as he thrust quickly into her, her hymen tearing away. Her nails dug into his back and he grasped her sides with both hands, waiting patiently for her pain to pass. As she began loosening her grip, he started up a slow rhythm, pulling out of her almost completely, and pushing back in just as cautiously. Sakura winced in pain, her grip pulsing on his bare back. His pace quickened and soon enough, her pain was replaced by pleasure and she moaned into his ear.

He groaned in response, laying her back down on the bed and continued his steady thrusts. Sasuke took hold of her hip once again, pumping faster now. She moaned and arched her back to him and he pulled her to him as he pushed in, pounding into her with a few hard movements. Sakura moaned loudly, her climax finally hitting her and Sasuke moaned as well between his teeth, her inner walls tightening around his length as he rode out her orgasm.

He fell forward, stopping himself with his free hand as he pounded into her, his thrusts quick and hard. His vision blurred and sweat ran down his forehead and back. The feeling was exotic, like an ultimate high and for a moment, the only sounds that made an sense to him was their blended moans and grunts and wet sound of his driving into her. Another thrust as she climaxed again, her walls constricting around his thick, hard member, surrounding him with heat. With one, final push, Sasuke rode over the edge, spilling his hot seed inside of her. The hot pressure that had built in his groin had suddenly exploded so that even the icy breeze had no effect on him. His heavy breathing thundered in his ears when finally he collapsed onto her with a grunt, her body warm with sweat.

"S-Sasuke..." Saukra whispered between breaths.

"What...?" he replied, his voice unsteady as he was. He prayed she wouldn't tell him she loved him. He scarcely felt he could deal with that, confused with his own feelings at that moment.

"Thank you..."
