'THANK KAMI FOR DINNER!'
'Shut up. I know I shouldn't have tried to say that to him, but couldn't you at least be supportive?'
'Nope.'
'Thanks.'
The other day, when I tried to confess my lust for Sasuke, I was interrupted. Now that I am sane, it was probably for the better. I mean, what would we do after that. We couldn't get married. Even if we are only adoptive siblings, that's taboo. Besides, he definitely doesn't feel the same way. I'm sure about that.
"Sakura, it's time to head out." Kakashi said. I met him yesterday after dinner. To be honest, he doesn't seem like a real ninja. He reads porn in public, is clueless, and is always late. Or that's what I'm told. "We are headed for the sound. There have been reports of a group of shinobi still loyal to the dead snake-sanin." At that, Sasuke immediately tensed. "Our mission is to find and capture them."
We nodded, and ran off. This was my first mission ever with Team 7, and it seems way higher than a D rank mission. Why would they assign this to our team, if they know I'm not even a chunin?
"Kakashi-sensei?" I asked, breaking the silence.
"Hm?"
"Why am I on this team, if Naruto and Sasuke are already chunins?"
"The Hokage ordered it." He answered.
"Why would the-" I questioned, but was interrupted by Kakashi.
"I don't know. He wouldn't tell me. Its fine though. All of the nations agreed to let them retake the exams with you." He turned around and gave me a one eyed smile.
"O-Oh." Was all I could say. I didn't push it any further, but I wondered why all of the nations were involved in the decision. I am just an ordinary girl, after all.
Kakashi lead us to a small village near the Sound. "We are only an hour away from the Sound, but we're not going there today."
"WHY!" Naruto whined.
"We need to come up with a plan. If we don't have one, this mission will surely fail." Kakashi sighed, somewhat annoyed.
"Where are we gonna stay for the night?" I asked. There didn't seem to be a hotel nearby.
Kakashi chuckled, "In the forest."
'WHAT DID HE SAY?'
'I'm sure it was just a joke.'
"We only have two tents, so you'll have to share with someone." He added.
"Wait. You're telling me… that we are actually sleeping in the forest? In tents?" I said.
"That's right Sakura-chan. You can share with me!" Naruto cheerily confirmed.
"No, she'll share with Sasuke." Kakashi ordered.
"WHAT!?" We yelled simultaneously.
'Hell yeah! You know you want to.'
'NO! Its gonna be so awkward!'
"Why do I have to share with him?" I whined.
"You're… siblings." Kakashi answered.
"Not blood-related!"
"Fine. You can share with me then." I eyed his Icha Icha Paradise book.
"Never mind. I'll sleep with Sasuke."
"SAKURA-CHAN! That's gross!"
'SasuSaku TIME!'
'Please, for once, SHUT THE HELL UP!'
'Okay, okay. Geez.'
I started setting up our tent. "I got it." I heard Sasuke murmur.
"Oh. T-Thanks."
"Hn." I felt weird about letting him set it up by himself, so I helped. We were finished in less than ten minutes. Naruto and Kakashi, on the other hand, were still struggling.
"I'll go help them." I told Sasuke.
"Hn."
I should have just gone into the tent. The two idiots acted like they have never set up a tent before. I also should have asked Sasuke to help me out. But, after a long hour, we finally set it up.
I walked into my tent, ready to lay out my sleeping bag, only to find out that it was already in its place.
'Awh. Sasu-kun is so nice!'
'Sasu-kun?'
'Cute nickname, huh?'
'Mhm.'
"Sass-" he was already asleep, so I stopped. Laying next to him, I could feel his warmth. His personality seems cold, but his body says different. This was just too much. I want to roll over and tackle his lips.
'Nuh uh uuuh. No dirty thoughts about your brother.'
'NOT BLOOD RELATED!'
'It doesn't matter. You live in the same house, don't you?' I inwardly nodded. 'See, it's just gross to think like you do. You pervert.'
'You are so bipolar.'
… Silence.
That night, it was very, very hard to fall asleep.
Line.
"Sakura-chan, my beauty. Come to me. I will give you whatever you wish for." There was a raspy voice echoing inside my head.
"Where are you? Who are you?" I shouted. There was nothing surrounding me for a moment, but then the white surroundings changed. Now, I was in a lair. Somehow, I knew that I was underground. Was it a cave?
"Please, Sakura-chan, I need you."
"W-Who are you?" I screamed. There was a slight breeze in the cool air. How could there be a breeze underground.
The mysterious voice changed, "Sakura, help me." Sasuke's voice? "Sakura, please!" Yes, it was Sasuke.
"Sasuke! Where are you?!" I screamed.
"I'm in a room, straight ahead! Help me. Quickly!" He moaned in pain.
"I'm coming!" I cried as I ran to the room. I could see him, laying on a white bed. He looked weak. Very weak. "Sasuke! What happened to you!?"
"Come here, Sakura." I walked to his side. "Place your hand on my heart." I did as he asked. His hand grabbed mine, holding it in place.
"Sasuke, that hurts." I whined, but he was no longer Sasuke. He had turned into a pasty old man with onyx hair longer than mine.
"Sakura-chan. Thank you. Now, I will use your body to continue my wish." The old man spoke. His tongue slithered in and out of his mouth.
"N-No. It couldn't be." I gasped.
"Why yes, my dear. It is. I have just transferred bodies, but this one is now weak. That is why you don't see me like you used to.
"No. It's not you. It's not."
"Yes, but that's not the way you should treat your own father, now is it?"
"Let me go! Help! Sasuke help!"
"Oh. Your Sasu-kun is long gone. He was an easy kill. The cocky ones usually are." He grabbed my arm harder, and pushed it farther into his chest. A hole opened up, and started to suck me in.
"PLEASE! LET ME GO!" My father only smirked and sucked me in.
Line.
"Sakura. Calm down. It's alright."
"Sasuke! You're okay!?" I panicked.
"Shh. I'm fine. Are you okay?" he asked.
"Mhm. It was only a nightmare." I answered. Sasuke's arms were wrapped around me, and I was… leaning on his… naked… chest.
"Oh. Go to sleep." He ordered, a bit sympathetic. Unfortunately for me, I could not fall asleep laying in his toned, sexy arms.
