Sorry if this popped up as a new chapter for a second time, I was trying to put a message into the fourth Chapter and instead of choosing replace/update I deleted the chapter on the side… I then had to change every other chapter to the right numbers with chapter 4 in the place of 5 etc… Then I lost chapter 8 completely off the list. Forgive my stupidity .
Sakura awoke the next morning, very warm and unable to move. She wasn't even sure it was morning now that she thought about it; there were no windows after all.
She stiffened when she felt Sasuke exhale onto her neck and her eyes opened slowly, coming into contact with pale eyelids. She blinked, 'How did we get like this?' she thought to herself, her cheeks turning the same shade of pink as her hair.
Sasuke's arms were under her neck and around her waist, his leg thrown over hers, all of them, tightly wrapped around her. This should have been a romantic thing, but the only emotion she felt towards it was scared and slightly embarrassed.
Scared to move and wake him up, she lay dead still, attempting to control her breathing and feign sleep. There was no way she was going to be able to sleep after waking up in this situation.
Sasuke breathed deeply, his lips slightly parted and his features soft and relaxed. He looked so – innocent and harmless, the complete opposite of what he usually looked like.
She could almost believe that he was the same almost bearable teen he used to be, back when he still -very- occasionally smiled and wasn't so… twisted.
She didn't fully blame him for his previous actions towards her; he was obviously not completely in his right of mind.
She remembered when he tried to kill her a few years before, justifiably so, considering she went there to kill him in the first place. She had actually met Karin there, Karin obviously wasn't paying attention to her name though, too busy wallowing in self-pity.
The situation seemed to diffuse when Kabuto was spotted and detained, the legendary Madara disappearing into thin air. Nobody doubted that they would see him again though, after he declared war at the five Kage summit a few years back and partially revealed his plans.
Sakura sighed, the urge to move out of the uncomfortable position was too strong to deny. She twisted her body to the side, hoping his grip would at least loosen slightly and instantly regretted it when his entire body tensed, his grip tightening to a bone crushing intensity.
"Sasuke… can't… breathe," She wheezed, wiggling around as much as she could in his grip, willing him to let go.
Sasuke's eyes snapped open in alarm, eyes focusing on Sakura's shocked face before relenting slightly in his grip, leaving her enough space to get air into her burning lungs.
Sakura's forest green eyes blinked open, immediately getting drawn into the deep obsidian abyss of his.
Sasuke untangled himself from her and sat up on the bed, his sleeping pants were rumpled and his hair stood up at all angles, having it wet when he went to bed the previous night had made it dry in the position he was lying in.
Sakura couldn't help giggling, his raven locks resembling Kakashi's gravity-defying hair. Sasuke glared at her before smoothing down his hair, amazingly having it revert back to its normal style.
Sasuke rose to his feet, his defined back muscles flexing with the movement, having slept shirtless the night before. Sakura stared down at the white sheets, avoiding looking at Sasuke while he literally got changed in front of her.
"You could at least get dressed in the bathroom," she muttered an angry pout making its way onto her face and averting her eyes.
"Why, never seen a man's body before Sakura?" He asked, almost sounding curious. Sakura's cheeks turned a bright shade of red.
"I'll have you know that I am a medic, I see plenty of male bodies," She defended, her cheeks resembling a cherry.
"You know that wasn't what I meant," He purred, a smirk playing on one side of his mouth, not that Sakura noticed.
"I… I… Shut up!" Sakura squeaked, tightly shutting her eyes and rolling her body over to face the other way.
"So over eighteen and still a virgin?" he mused, smirking at her incoherent muttering on the bed.
"I SAID SHUT UP, ASSHOLE," She yelled, sitting up in bed and throwing the pillow at him (which he easily caught). She then shot him a glare that could easily shame even Gaara's.
Sasuke kept his arrogant smirk in place and pulled on his high necked shirt, leaving the front hanging open like he always did.
"Why even bother wearing a shirt if you're going to wear it like that?" she grumbled, one eye twitching and the other narrowed at him.
"And what you're wearing is any less revealing?" he pointed out, face stoic and cold once more.
Sakura frowned and pulled the shirt that was cropped above her belly button down as far as it could go, her cheeks stained pink and her eyes downcast.
"I... don't have anything else to wear that isn't torn in half," she mumbled, growling the last part unconsciously. That was her favourite fucking shirt and only decent shirt she had brought with her.
Sakura had had this shirt since she was 15 and had kind of grown out of it. It hiked up further than it should because of how her breasts had grown since then, luckily enough. She thought she was going to stay flat forever. Believe or not, Tsunade used to be as flat as a board before her late teens.
Sakura climbed out of the bed and self-consciously walked to the bathroom, only wearing a pair of shorts and a shirt that showed way more than she was comfortable showing, her breast bindings showing from under the fabric.
Feeling something hit her and hang itself over her shoulder, she turned her head slightly to see the long sleeved shirt she had taken out of her bag the night before that was being used to roll up the supplies, draped over her shoulder.
"Huh?" She questioned in confusion, knowing for a fact that the shirt was not hers.
"You can keep it, can't have you dressed like that, unless of course you want to lose your virginity," He said smirking disturbingly at her.
"Whatever," She scoffed, blushing intensely before entering the bathroom and slamming the door loudly behind her.

Hinata woke up groggily, her eyes almost welded together with sleep. Blinking until she could see clearly, she focused on the deeply breathing blonde whose face was less than an inch from her own, his arms wrapped around her waist in an iron like grip.
Hinata's cheeks lit up a red colour and she let out a gasp, not remembering how she got here in the first place. Her pale lavender eyes darted around the tent, the waterproof walls closing them in on each side.
She silently activated her byakugan and noticed the girl from yesterday slumped tiredly against the tree, her head hanging to one side with the signs of sleep, finding nothing else of interest within her range; she deactivated her eyes, once more returning them to the tanned blonde in front of her.
Sleepy sapphire blue eyes blinked open, connecting with Hinata's alarmed lavender eyes, her cheeks a very dark red colour. Naruto unwrapped a hand from her waist and connected it with her forehead, Hinata's eyes widening and blush deepening.
"W-what are you d-doing Naruto-kun," She mumbled in confusion.
"No fever," He mumbled, before sitting up suddenly and looking around, revealing a very naked upper torso. Hinata went a shade darker and turned her head away, finding it hard to believe she had slept with a shirtless Naruto the entire night.
"Crap, we overslept," Naruto grumbled, stretching an arm above his head before digging through his bag and pulling on his high neck Anbu shirt again, covering himself with the vest and looking over to Hinata who was wearing a tight lavender spaghetti strapped shirt and shorts, Ino had bought them for Hinata's birthday the year before.
Naruto blushed slightly, and scratched his cheek nervously before digging through his bag and pulling out a pair of long pants that were slightly baggy on him.
"Hinata-chan, here," Naruto said sheepishly, handing her the pants and looking away blushing, Naruto may not be in love with Hinata but he was an easily distracted man.
Naruto was not even sure what his feelings were regarding Hinata, she hadn't really confessed to him at an appropriate time. She probably didn't even feel that way any more, after getting no reciprocation for her confession.
Naruto stood up and left the tent, giving Hinata the space to change without feeling uncomfortable. Naruto stared at the rising sun, having wanted to leave before it started to rise and looked over to Karin.
Naruto wondered why it was that she wasn't with Sasuke, having heard reports of the four teammates travelling with one another again, 'perhaps she knows something.'
Travelling forward Naruto stopped in front of the tree Karin was tied too and kicked the tree next to her roughly, startling the teen awake.
"gruck Ge phruck?" She shouted, words muffled by the cloth in her mouth, pulling the cloth away, Naruto threw it to the ground and leaned his arm on the tree next to her head, getting uncomfortably close to her personal space bubble.
"So, you wouldn't have happened to see a girl with pink hair around?" He questioned, twirling the fabric on the base of his Katana threateningly.
"Oh that Sakura-whore," she mocked, turning her head away from Naruto with an obviously suicidal attitude.
Naruto growled, pulling his katana from the sheathe and pressed the point into her neck, causing her to wince and almost drawing blood.
"Where?" He snarled, patience running thin with the girl in front of him, who obviously had a death wish.
"What's in it for me," he asked arrogantly, mistaking having information as giving her the upper hand.
"Well let's just say you won't be getting a torturously slow and painful death now," He purred, eyes glinting maliciously at the thought.
Karin gulped and leaned her head back against the tree, attempting to get the blade as far away from her neck as possible.
"Sasuke-kun took her," She answered spitefully, thinking of how he chose her skills over her own, even though she wasn't willing to travel with them.
Naruto growled and buried his fist into the tree next to her head before turning his head back to see Hinata timidly climbing out of the tent, his pants, tight around her hips and ass and baggy the rest of the way down.
He turned back to Karin who was watching him warily and lifted the katana back up to her neck.
"You will lead us to them," He stated sternly, leaving no room for argument and after receiving a nod he turned away from her and walked back to the tent.
Removing his backpack and futon out of the tent, he took it down and rolled it up, attaching it to the top of his backpack before doing the same with the futon.
Falling down onto the ground and folding his legs, he pulled a couple of packs of dried meat out and handed one over to Hinata, who had come to sit next to him.
"Thank y-you Naruto-kun," She said with a smile and started to munch happily on the meat, her face cheery.
"T-t-thank y-y-you Naruto-kun," Karin mocked from where she was tied to the tree, her stomach growling angrily at her.
She shut up as soon as a shuriken buried itself into the tree, less than a centimetre from her neck, Naruto not even turning from his sitting position to throw it. 'Scary…' She thought to herself in awe of his abilities.
Hinata paused her chewing to turn to Karin, who looked hungrily at her meal. She looked down and then back at Karin.
"Want s-some?" She asked, her kindness betraying her attempts to ignore the girl. Karin stared at her in disbelief, having never met anyone that would sacrifice their own meal for a mere prisoner, especially one that openly insulted them.
"Just leave her Hinata-chan, she doesn't deserve any food," Naruto growled turning his head towards Karin in spite.
"How can she l-lead us anywhere if she h-has no energy Naruto-kun," Hinata asked in the form of a question but already knew the answer. She couldn't.
"Fine," Naruto grumbled, turning back to look in front of him and chewed the meat thoughtlessly, ignoring Hinata's standing up and walking over to Karin.
"How am I meant to eat without my hands fr-," She started, interrupted by the kunai that buried itself into her ropes, causing them to fall harmlessly to the ground.
Karin instantly grabbed the kunai next to her and charged straight for Hinata, not even getting half a metre before she was grabbed in a choke hold from behind, the kunai clattering to the ground uselessly.
"Don't even think about it," Naruto snarled into her ear before slamming her harshly into the tree.
"You see Hinata-chan, she doesn't deserve your kindness," Naruto said softly to the girl next to him, who smiled anyway and closed three pieces of meat into Karin's fist, much to Naruto's disbelief.

Sakura surfaced from the bathroom wearing the shirt that Sasuke had given her. The sleeves extended past her hands and the bottom ending just past her hips.
"Weird design," She mumbled to herself, imagining Sasuke wearing it and starting to giggle, well at least it would fit his arms.
"What's so funny?" Sasuke asked impassively from next to her on the wall, completely surprising her and making her squeak.
"Nothing," she mumbled, puffing her cheeks up and walking into the room, her pink shirt crumpled tightly in her hand and plopped down on the bed, dropping the shirt beside her.
She stared at Sasuke and was about to ask him something when a loud poof was heard and Katsuya appeared on her lap, facing away from Sasuke and seemingly not noticing him.
"Sakura! Where are you?" She asked, spitting the letter out her mouth and onto Sakura's leg. Sakura was about to respond when Katsuya poofed into a cloud of smoke, a kunai falling into her lap in her place.
Sasuke pushed himself away from the wall, scowling harshly at Sakura and walking towards her.
"What was that?" Sasuke asked coldly before sitting on the bed next to Sakura, too close for comfort when he was so unpredictable. One minute he could be talking normally and the next be pinning her down and tearing her clothing to shreds.
"My summon," She whispered, clenching the letter that had fallen down the side of her leg protectively, refusing to give it to him under any circumstances. This was her Tsunade-shisou's way of contacting her and she wanted to see it.
"Sakura," Sasuke growled, wrapping an arm around her arms tightly and pulling her into his chest, reaching for her closed fist with his free hand.
"No! It's mine!" she yelled protectively, shutting her eyes and squeezing her fist closed as far as possible, using all her strength to push herself away from him.
Her efforts went unnoticed, having no leverage whatsoever with the way she was positioned, leaned into his body and made immobile.
Her hand was pried open, the letter removed, wrinkled and slightly torn but decipherable none the less. She went limp in his grip, still held tightly, her head falling onto his chest and panting with exhaustion.
It wasn't fair how much physically stronger he was than her, especially without her chakra. One large hand could trap both of hers, one muscular arm could immobilise her entire upper half.
"You… know… you're a real asshole Sasuke," she panted, her cheeks red with embarrassment and strain. Sasuke smirked, not relenting his grip in the slightest as he read through the letter in his hand. He quite liked the power he had over her, not that he would say that out loud.
"It seems the Hokage is aware of you disappearance Sakura," Sasuke mused, looking down at her face that looked up at in him in defeat. He quite liked that face. He supposed he was a sadist, but who could blame him after everything?
She was part of Konoha, a city he WILL destroy; nothing and nobody can stop him. He swore he would kill everyone in it excluding himself of course, she was just lucky that she was useful enough to be the exception.
Although he supposed she wasn't lucky at all in that regard actually. He released Sakura, who fell back onto the bed, her eyes watching him closely from the position she was in.
Sakura grabbed the Kunai out of her lap and twirled it in her fingers before it slipped out from between them and buried itself into the wooden wall, slicing Sasuke's arm on the way there.
Sasuke stared at both the shallow cut on his arm and at the kunai in surprise, hardly believing she could have thrown it so hard with the amount of effort she put in.
She was definitely not weak, just weaker than him, which he believed most people were anyway. Upon realising she hurt him; she sat up on the bed, eyes wide and disbelieving.
Sasuke slowly turned his head back to look at her, smirking at her facial expression before turning and walking towards her, slowly and threateningly, eyes glinting red in the torchlight.
'Crap, he's going to fucking kill me!' she thought to herself, scrambling backwards until she reached the wall and cursed under her breath.
'Why did you have to go and throw a kunai at him, stupid Sakura, stupid!' She thought, pressing her back defensively into the wall as Sasuke climbed onto the bed.
Sasuke crawled closer to her, stopping just inches from her face and smirking at her fearful features.
"Heal me," He said, plopping down on his bum and holding his arm up to her face, studying her features as they changed from fear back to disbelief before looking down to the bleeding slit on his arm then back to his face again.
Feeling the seal release very slightly she gathered chakra in her hands and held them over his arm, the cut disappearing within seconds. She wasn't sure why he wanted her to heal it anyway; it was barely more than a scratch.
She lifted her hand to her cheek, ridding herself of her own scratch before Sasuke could restrict her chakra again. Sasuke watched her intently, sharingan activated, always useful to copy an ability, especially healing.
Seeing her hands drop to her lap, he tightened the seals hold on her chakra once more and turned his body to face her head on, watching her features turn back from confusion to panic.
'Crap he's still going to kill me!' She thought in panic, returning to pressing her back into the wall, wishing she could just dissolve through it.
Sasuke leaned over her, placing his hands on either side of her head, his sharingan swirling just in front of her own eyes.
She tightly shut her eyes, scared he was going to use them on her, she had heard what tsukuyomi was like from Kakashi and she definitely didn't want to go through that. Ever.
"Sasuke, what are you doing?" She gasped, turning her head to the side as his nose touched hers.
Sasuke pulled back, interested in the black splotch he saw quite far below her collar bone and moved her long hair out of the way. Sticking his finger into her shirt he pulled it down, grabbing the bandages on the way.
'Oh Kami don't look at that,' She squeaked in her head, twisting away from him in desperation and attempting to get away before she was grabbed around the arms again and pulled into his chest.
Sasuke returned back to what he was doing, looking over her shoulder and down at her chest as he pulled down the shirt and bandages. He stared down in shock at what he found.
"Sakura," He said slowly, pausing before he continued "Is that supposed to be me?" His lips twitching up uncontrollably into a smirk.
Sakura mentally cursed at Ino for convincing her to go out drinking. Sakura has a strong stomach but after the third bottle of Sake she was completely pissed.
She woke up on Ino's floor the next morning with a tattoo of chibi Sasuke… FUCKING SASUKE BLOODY UCHIHA on her left breast. She climbed onto her feet to scream at Ino and found Sai lying on the bed next to Ino, butt naked.
Blushing profusely she instead opted for climbing out the window before any of them woke up.
"I… I… No," She squeaked, squirming uncomfortably in his grip.
"Liar," he purred into her ear, sending shivers down her spine and causing her to turn her blushing face away from him. The tattoo was only about half the size of her thumb but very clearly depicted a cutesy version of Sasuke's face.
Hope you guys liked the chapter! Sasuke is a bit cruel but hey, I prefer him that way. I think I'm a sadist too *nods*.
Pleaaaaaseeeee review? :)
