Chapter 7

Sasuke stood up and walked to the bedroom again. He sat on the bed and ran his hands through his hair. What did I do? I just told her so much! Why? I didn't think it would all slip out like that! He looked on the floor, and grabbed his clothes and dressed himself. He saw Sakura's clothes on the floor as well. He picked them up to gather them for her, but as he was about to put them on the bed, he looked around his shoulder to make sure she wasn't in the room, then he smelled them. He held them close to his face and simply took in her scent. He couldn't tell you why, but her smell just did something for him. It was a sensation he had never felt. It was simply her. And it drove him crazy, and it made him feel at peace. He gently laid her clothes on the bed for her. Today he planned on talking to Karin to decide what to do about the 'hostages.'

Sakura walked into the room to see Sasuke laying her clothes on the bed. She smiled to herself. Walking up to Sasuke, she laid a hand on his shoulder and said "Thank you."

He looked over to her and saw the towel she was wearing was quite small. He liked it. But there was no way this Uchiha would ever admit that. Sakura leaned up and kissed Sasuke on the cheek. Instantly Sasuke froze up. He firmly, but not harshly, grabbed her hand and moved it off him. "Sakura, you know that we can't do anything like that." He spoke kindly, but not without authority.

"I know." She sighed and looked down before she looked up at him and locked her gaze with his. "I just wanted to enjoy it while I had it." She then walked over to the bed and lay down.

Sasuke wasn't sure what she meant by that. While she had what? "What do you think you are going to do today?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"Don't think I'm just going to let you stay here and do nothing. You will come with me and become the newest team member. Remember?" He really didn't want to have Karin and Sakura meet. It wouldn't be a pretty scene.

"Oh yeah…ok." She sat up and began to dress herself. Sasuke walked out of the room and went by the door of the house. He looked at it for a moment and vaguely wondered if it wouldn't open again. He reached for the handle and it was still there when he clasped it. He turned it and the door opened.

"Sakura!" He shouted. "I'll expect you out in a bit. It might be best if I talk with them first." He then walked out of the door.

She looked over to the doorway when Sasuke was talking, and when he closed the door she turned to her clothes. Ouch. Oh man am I sore. I had no idea it would hurt that bad! Sitting is torture. I don't think he noticed though. I hope. I don't want him to think I'm weak. As she looked at each piece of clothing, she remembered him taking off each thing. She remembered the feelings of the last night. She wasn't sure what to make of them. They were both wonderful and painful. She remembered his hands, and how she wanted to feel them again. But she wanted to feel them in a way that meant love. She wanted to feel his hands pleasure her. But if all she did was want… nothing would happen. She gently scolded herself for thinking like that. She took the initiative to heal the part of her that had gotten torn too much, and she healed the small bruises and aches to make her day a little easier. When she finished dressing herself, she went to the door. She reached for the handle, but it disappeared! What!? Why did it do that? Her mind started racing to think of what the problem could be. As it spun in circles, she remembered something. Something she had recently read about in Tsunade's papers. NO it can't be! Please no! She crumpled to the floor and put her head in her hands and wept.

Sorry this is a shorter chapter but I have my reasons for doing it! Please be nice and review, I'm working quite hard on this story for you! I didn't get a lot last time, and it kinda discouraged me…..
Also, it seems that people are defiantly losing interest. I'm sad.

Besides, I took so long because I was starting the next chapter to make sure everything fit together. Maybe if I get enough reviews...a longer chapter will come out sooner... You never know.
