Sakura looked blankly at her new schedule that the principle had just handed to her. She no longer has classes with Kiba as her teacher. In fact her whole schedule moved her around so that she wouldn't see him during any parts of the day. This was hell for her and now she just wanted to go home and cry. How could someone find out about them? They had been so careful. Just yesterday they had been in each other's arms, saying they would go on a cruise together and how happy they were to be together. Now they were separated…it all seemed so impossible. How could any of this have happened?

"I am pleased that this matter has been taken care of," Sakura stiffened when she heard the vice principle's voice and her hands began to shake. It was because of this man that she was separated from Kiba. "Our school has to good of a reputation to go through something as horrible as this." Was that all he cared about? The school's reputation or was he more concerned with his own reputation? Didn't he care about the students and what was going on in their lives?

"He just ruined both mine and Kiba's lives and all he can think about is himself!" Sakura wanted to scream. She wanted to kick and punch and scream in Danzo's face. It was all his fault and he didn't even care.

"Yes, I am glad things ended without too much trouble," Sarutobi was the Chairmen of the Board, he was a fair guy and Sakura had respected him. Now she just hated everything they had done to her. "It could have caused many problems for Mr. Inuzuka and well as Miss Haruno had something like this gotten out." Sakura looked up at the old man, he was smoking a pipe like always but there was something different about him. His eyes, they held a weird look in them. She couldn't understand what was in them but she could see it, a small tinkle in his eyes that said he was thinking differently than Danzo was.

"Very well than, gentlemen," Tsuande had come to stand in front of Sakura. "I believe it's time for you to go and for Sakura to get to class." She offered both men smiles and they left her office without a word. Danzo went back to his office and Sarutobi stopped for a moment to look back at Sakura.

"I wish you the best of luck, Sakura." He took his pipe out of his mouth and walked out of the office.

She was confused by what Sarutobi had done. What did he mean that he wishes her luck? "It seems your little secret has leaked out," However Tsuande's words confused her more. "I was so sure Inuzuka would be shouting at the top of his lungs the day you agreed to him."

"What?" Sakura stood up from her sit, eyes wide and the schedule in her hands was crumpled into a ball. "You knew?" The principle knew about her and Kiba. "Did you-?"

"I didn't," Tsuande walked over to the frantic girl and put her hands on her shoulders. "I knew about you and Mr. Inuzuka for a long time," she moved a few pieces of hair out of Sakura's face and began to explain. "I was able to tell by his actions and how he treated you. When some of the other teachers started to notice this I tried covering it up but none of them seemed to listen to me. That's why I called you in, if there was something going on then I needed to know so I could think of a way to help you."

"So that time in your office?" Sakura could remember Tsuande asking her about what she thought about Kiba. Back then he was still her teacher and that's how she had answered, that he was her teacher and nothing more. Now, she loved him and wanted to be in his arms.

"I was checking to see if he made a move, he hadn't so I had been able to clear it with the other teachers," she gave Sakura a big grin and started chuckling. "Though I'm not sure how no one else seemed to notice. He made it very obvious that he was interested in you," She got a faraway in her eyes. "He'd come into the hospital with an injury or bad cold and ask about you, saying he was just checking up on his students. He did a lot to see you and get closer to you. He really loves you." Sakura stared into Tsunade's light brown eyes, they were very gentle and they seemed to look sad. They were sad for her.

Sakura couldn't hold it in any longer. She went to Tsunade and cried, she cried out everything she had been feeling from the moment they had taken her out of Kiba's class to now. Tsuande's words had gotten to her, she knew Kiba loved her, she knew he had done a lot to try and get closer to her. She knew all that but now it didn't matter anyone. "It's not fair," she cried into the woman's chest, hands gripping at her arms and trying to escape the hard reality she was facing. "Why did they have to separate us? It's not fair!" she loved Kiba with all her heart. She wanted to stay by his side and she promised she would but now she can't. If she stayed with him it would end up ruining his life and she couldn't do that to him.

"I understand," Tsuande ran her hand through Sakura's short pink hair but that only made Sakura cry more. Kiba always did that to her whether she was upset or happy and she missed his touch. It was nice that Tsuande was comforting her but she wouldn't be happy until she got back in the arms of the man she loved. "I know you're upset right now and I promise I'll do all I can to fix this but for now I need you to be strong," she lifted Sakura's crying head to stare into her tear-filled eyes. "You need to stay strong if you want to stay with him." Her words were gentle and Sakura trusted them. She needed to stay strong and focused. Whoever had told on them was probably still around and who knows if they were watching her even now. If she was to busy crying then it really would get out that she was involved with her teacher and she needed to keep it hidden. So she would wipe her tears away and pretend that Kiba was just her teacher and Sasuke was her boyfriend.

"It'll be hard but I need to do this." Sakura held her hands over her heart and imagined for a quick moment that Kiba was besides her, holding her in his warm embrace and they were both smiling. "Thank you, Tsuande." She opened her eyes and thanked the principle. She had helped her a lot and now Sakura knew she had work to do. She knew it would be hard not seeing Kiba but she knew if she just waited, even only a little while she could find a way to be with him. She just had to keep believing and she would be back in those arms that she was missing.


The day had ended and not in the way Sakura had wanted. She had to stay in the principles office all day because Danzo had sent over a police officer to see if she had been lying about being with Kiba. The police had asked her basic questions but she knew with the way he was wording them was just their way of trying to confuse her and make her confess. Well she was training to be a doctor and wouldn't fall things that easy. She had answered all the questions and made sure to keep her body calm while she explained that her boyfriend was Sasuke Uchiha and not her teacher Kiba Inuzuka. She hated having to lie about something like this but if she was going to still be with Kiba at the end of all this then she needed to pretend she didn't love him. Something that was not an easy thing to accomplish.

"Sakura!" she was at her locker when all her friends had come running up to her. She smiled at them and went to greet them but was stopped when Sasuke embraced her in a hug. She had not been expecting that and didn't know how to react to something like this. He had always been a guy that didn't even want to shake hands with a person much less hug them.

"Um…Sasuke? Are you feeling alright?" she questioned, trying to get out of his hold. His body didn't give her the same warm feeling Kiba's did and being held by another man just felt wrong to her.

"Just go with it," he whispered in her ear. "Danzo is coming." She finally understood and hugged him back. He had said to the vice principle that they were dating to save both her and Kiba so she needed to act like they were a real couple. It felt strange being in his arms but all she had to do was close her eyes and imagine that she was with Kiba, she was in his arms, and the two of them were discussing where their next date would be. She felt herself tear up but she quickly wiped them away when she saw Danzo coming towards them. He was coming towards them and walking behind him was…Kiba!

"Miss Haruno," he stopped in front of them, his cane tapping the floor lightly. "I am here to apologize once again for the inconvenience this has caused you." He was grinning, even with have his face wrapped in bandages that made him look like a weak old man she could still see the twisted expression he wore.

"It is no trouble at all." Sakura kept her tone clear and her eyes on Danzo. She didn't need to give him anymore reason to believe that she was with Kiba, besides she couldn't dare look at his face. When they had arrived Sasuke had moved her around so that his arm was around her waist and she was pulled against his body. He was showing the world that they were a couple and she knew it was killing Kiba inside. He wanted to do what Sasuke was doing to her for a long time and now he was being forced to stand there and watch it all happen.

That twisted smile came back on his face. "I am glad to hear it, aren't you Mr. Inuzuka?" he turned his gaze to Kiba and Sakura couldn't stop herself. She followed his gaze and faced Kiba only he wasn't facing her. He was looking at the vice principle.

"Yeah, I'm glad everything turned out fine," he gave them all a big grin and continued saying how he was glad that he wasn't in trouble but could see what the others couldn't. His grin was so forced that it hurt her and his eyes may have looked the same to everyone else but she could see it. They were empty and being tortured. She was right in front of him, they were within inches from each other but they had to pretend that they felt nothing for each other. Sakura wanted to scream and cry once more. "It's good isn't it, Miss Haruno?" she was surprised when he turned his gaze on her. He was looking at her and for a moment his eyes seemed to shine. "Looks like we dodged a bullet." He put one hand behind his head and tried to make it sound like he was making a joke but she understood. They hadn't dodged the bullet, they had taken it to the heart and now they were suffering.

"Yes," she returned a small smile on her face. One that she would give any teacher but for him this one she wore was a bit bigger than the usual. "It looks like we got lucky." She held her hand out for him to shake, trying to make it seem like this was just a personal business talk but really she just wanted to feel his warm hand in hers again before she was forced to not see him again.

"Whoa," he stepped back and had on another grin. "No offense but we just got away with not going together. I don't need one handshake making the cops think they can come and arrest me." He was laughing and so was everyone around them, even Sakura was but once again she could understand his hidden meaning. He didn't want this one action to cause any reason for people to believe they were together and ruin it for her. He was still worried about it.

"It is alright, Mr. Inuzuka," Danzo tapped his cane again. "You may shake her hand. I'm sure one handshake wouldn't cause problems and I'll be here to testify of it does." There was a tone in his voice that Sakura didn't like. He wanted them to shake hands to see how their reactions would be, and if it gave him anything than he could use it against them.

"Okay than." Kiba shrugged and put his hand out for them to shake.

Their two hands touched and for a brief moment Sakura felt the warmth of love come into her body and she knew Kiba felt it two by how his eyes seemed to get life back in them. They wanted more, they wanted to go into each other's arms and kiss. Screw that the vice principle was in front of them; they would run away and start their lives over. They could move to a different country, get new jobs, and live the rest of their life together as a couple where no one knew them and they could be free together. It was a wonderful fantasy but that was all it could be, a fantasy. They knew they couldn't escape their problems that easily and even if they did run away they would still have to face people who would try and separate them. So they let the fantasy leave them and they ended the handshake and for a moment they felt like their bodies were freezing over.

"I'm glad everything is in order now." Sakura went back into Sasuke's hold and kept her gaze neutral. Even with her being in another man's arms she could tell that he knew she was thinking of him

"Same here." Kiba put both his hands behind his head and pretended to look bored. Like he would rather be anywhere but here but she knew he didn't want to leave her side.

"Well then," Danzo coughed and looked a little annoyed. He wanted something to happen and when it didn't he was upset and wanted to retreat like the coward he was. "School is over so you all need to go home." That was his version of "Get out" and they listened without a fight. Sakura and her friends went one way and Kiba and Danzo wet the other. The whole way the two were holding the hands they shook with over their hearts and silently cried on the inside. They were being broken from the suddenly separation and that one hand shake had been their last moment they could ever have together. It was sad and heartbreaking.

"I hate that man!" Sakura punched the side of the building once she was outside. She got out of Sasuke's hold and started punching the building, leaving big and giant dents in the hard cement. She cried out how she wanted Danzo gone and would do anything possible to get rid of him. He had put her and Kiba through that for his own amusement and when it didn't work he separated them. She hated the old man and wished lightening to come down and strike him.

"Calm down," Sasuke grabbed her by the wrists, pulling her away from the building and letting her breath out of her anger instead of hitting the cement wall. "If you keep this up then Danzo will know something is up." He warned her and Sakura snorted. She hoped he would because then it would give her an excuse to smack him over the end. If she hits him hard enough she could erase him memory and her and Kiba could get back together.

"Sasuke right," Shikamaru spoke up next, hands in his pockets and for once he didn't look bored. "We need you to calm down or else everything you guys just went through will be for nothing." He was warning her too, they were all warning her but she couldn't help it.

"I know that," she bent her head, using her hair to hide her face but it didn't matter. You could hear it in her voice that she was crying. "I just…I want to be with him," Sasuke let her go and she fell to her knees. Face buried in her hands as she cried out all the pain that was in her heart. "I love him but now it doesn't matter. We can't ever see each other without raising suspicions. It isn't fair!" Why was her love life so messed up? She had found a guy she could truly love and stay with forever but now after only three days they were forced to separate and be put through the torture of knowing that the other was there but they can never be with them.

"I'm sorry," Sasuke patted her on the head but it didn't matter. She didn't want his touch she wanted Kiba's. "We all are." She knew they were but it still didn't help her heart. The only one who could fix it was Kiba.

"Sasuke! What did you do to her now?"

Sakura gasped when she heard that voice. That familiar loud obnoxious voice that she hadn't heard in over two years. She turned around, eyes searching for any signs that she wasn't hearing things and that he really was there. "I thought I told you to take care of her, not make her cry!" she saw it. The spiky blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and a giant grin was always on his face. It was there even now as he was walking over towards them.

"Naruto!" she ran up to him, embracing him in a giant hug and cried about how happy she was that he came back. She hadn't seen him since Sasuke left and having both her guys back made her feel like things could finally go back to normal. It made her feel safe and that with them back she could get through all pain that was being put on her heart.

"I'm back," he hugged her back, spinning her around some before putting her back on the ground. "Now tell what Sasuke did that made you cry so I can beat the crap out of him." he was joking with her but also being serious. He would hit anyone that made her cry and once again she was so happy that he came back.

"Just shut up," Sasuke butted in on the happy reunion and pulled Naruto's cheek. "Mind explaining why you're here? You told me you weren't coming back until next month? And why did you ask if I was the one who made her cry?" he glared at the blonde, pulling his cheek far enough that you could see the inside of his mouth.

Naruto glared at Sasuke and growled at what he was going to his face. "Let go," He let go of Sakura and slapped Sasuke's hand away. "I came back because I was worried after that weird message you sent me and I asked her why she was crying because you were the one standing over her!" he shouted out at his reasons and Sakura sighed. Things were back to normal again. The two fighting was nothing knew to her.

"How does that make sense?" Sasuke crossed his arms, looking bored but also amused. "Maybe I was consoling her for the real reason of her tears?" he suggested and it was the truth. He was trying to help her feel better about Kiba.

Naruto started laughing and put his hands on Sasuke's shoulder. "As if! A guy like you could never do that." He kept laughing, saying how Sasuke had a stick up his ass to far too ever help a person.

"Naruto," Sasuke growled and hit the blonde on the head. "Shut up."

"Hey," Naruto held his head in pain and glared at his friend. "That hurt."

The two went at each other, punches and kicks being aimed and insults being thrown at every corner. All you saw if you walked by was two boys rolling around on the floor fighting, and five other students all standing around them watching them and looking confused. They hadn't been expecting a fight to happen, at least not one that fast and over such a stupid reason. "That's Naruto and Sasuke," Sakura sighed, handing her bag to Hinata and walked over to the two boys. She was so used to them fighting over every little thing that it stopped being funny a long time ago. Now just watching them fight annoyed her and especially today when she was not in the best of moods. "Knock it off!" she aimed one punch and hit the both, making them go flying to the ground and landing away from each other. She has, as Naruto called it, brute strength when she was angry and she knew how to use it.

Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji, and Hinata all moved back in fear that they would be the next victims in Sakura's rage attack.

"S-She's scary." Chouji whimpered, holding his bag of chips in fear.

"Man, where'd she learn to hit like that?" Shikamaru was scared but also intrigued. He'd never seen anyone punch like that before.

Ino gave a weak chuckle. "Well Sakura's always had a temper." She was used to seeing the pink haired girl get angry but never that angry.

"I-I hope the two a-are okay." Hinata was more worried about the two boys that had to take the punch. The way they got hit and how they were still on the ground said they were in a lot of pain.

"Sakura?" Ino was the only one brave enough to call out to the angry teen. "Please tell me you didn't kill them?" she hoped that she didn't.

Sakura sighed and walked over to the two boys. She picked them up by the back of their shirts and started dragging them out of the school. "No, they're just unconscious," She said it so calmly that it scared the others. They weren't used to Sakura punching people like that and it worried them that she was speaking so calmly. Of course this wasn't her first time hitting the boys and knocking them out so it didn't even affect her anymore. "Come on, let's go get some ice cream!" she called out to her four friends and waited for them to get over the shock of her hitting the boys and for them to come over. They didn't take long and were heading her way and Sakura was glad. While they took their time walking over to her, they were still worried she would hit them, she made sure to look around that no teaches saw them, she could get in a lot of trouble if someone saw her beat up the two guys. She searched the schoolyard and saw no teachers, with a sigh of relief she checked the parking lot for any and froze when she saw one.

"Kiba…" she saw him standing by his jeep, the driver side door open and he was halfway in. He was staring at her, it looked like her small fight with the boys has caught his attention and he was checking on things. Only the two were frozen in their spots. Both wanted nothing more than to run over to each other and hold on tight to their love. Sakura wanted to run to Kiba's car and stay with him like she had done last night. Even if she didn't get any sleep she was still so glad that she got to wake up with him in the morning and spend time together like a real couple. Her eyes flooded over with tears when she saw him get in his car, his door closing with a giant slam. They were both hurting and seeing each other was just making it worse. He drove out of the school's parking lot and past them, his eyes never meeting hers but both knew there were tears falling from their eyes.

"Don't worry," she was surprised to feel Naruto and Sasuke standing. "We'll help you both." Sasuke had promised her and she knew he would keep his promise. He had hurt her in the past and he would use this time now to make up for it all.

"You bet we will," Naruto agreed with Sasuke, promising he would help her as much as he could. "By the way…?" Everyone had gotten together and they were all heading towards a small ice cream parlor. "What are we doing anyways?" his question made everyone groan and fall over. Only Naruto would agree to help someone out and not know what he was doing.

"Idiot!" Both Sasuke and Sakura hit him on the head.

"Ow!" Naruto held his head in pain and cried about how he kept getting hit today.

Without any other delays they made it to the ice cream parlor and all chose a table in the far corner of the room. It would be hard for people to hear them and see them so they were free to talk about the problem at hand. They ordered their ice cream first; they had to make things normal in case anyone was watching them. They still didn't know what student had tipped Danzo off about Sakura and Kiba and they had to be careful. They could still be watching them, waiting to see if they could find any clues that could give Danzo an advantage over them. After a few minutes of eating ice cream and listening to Naruto talk about his travels they felt it was safe enough to talk freely. No one felt anyone watching them and it seemed like everyone inside the store was minding their own business. First off they had to explain to Naruto the situation they were dealing with and what had taken place while he was away.

"Seriously?" Naruto's eyes were wide as he stared at Sakura. "You're dating your teacher?" he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had been used to Sakura saying she loved Sasuke so it was weird hearing her say she loved someone else. He guessed that a lot has changed since he went away.

Sakura nodded her head. She felt no shame in dating the man she loved, even if he was her teacher. "I am or at least I was. Until this Danzo came in and ruined it for us," she played with the spoon that was in her ice cream. She couldn't believe that before that monster of a man came in she had been so happy being with Kiba and now she was miserable. "Ino how was Kiba after I left?" she needed to know how he had taken the whole event that went on in his classroom.

The blonde sighed and took a sip of her water. She said she was on a diet and didn't want any ice cream. "I'm not sure. He was called out not long after you left for questioning by the police. He didn't come in until after class and when he did he just sat at his desk and didn't saying anything." she explained everything and Sakura hated Danzo even more. Kiba was probably suffering as bad as she was and she wanted to comfort him but her feet were glued to the floor. There was most likely someone watching his house, maybe even police still questioning, and if she showed up now it would only make matters worse.

"It looks like our main problem is finding out who told Danzo," Shikamaru leaned back in chair, arms behind his head as he watched the clouds outside of the open window above them. "If we find out who told then maybe we can get them to back off so you guys could be together again, or even tell us if the guy's planning anything else. Until then I'm not really sure what to do." The whole situation was complicated and confusing. If they did things to fast or to slow it could tip off Danzo of what was really going on. They needed a foolproof plan but he wasn't sure how to make one with such little information.

"He's right," Sasuke put his chin in his fold hands and looked at everyone at the table. "Until he find out who told Danzo we needed to pretend like nothing happened. Most likely we'll be watched for a few weeks along with Kiba so they can see if our behavior gives them anything. So for now we have to act like this never happened," he explained to them what their mission was and was glad that he received nods. They understood their mission and wouldn't fail it. "Unfortunately that means Sakura, you and I are going to have to pretending to be dating." Sasuke had lied to Danzo about being her boyfriend and now they were going to have to fake-date.

"I understand." Just because she knew the reasons why she was doing this doesn't mean she was happy about it. The only man she wanted to be with was Kiba but she couldn't get close to him without someone calling the police to arrest him.

"Then that's what we'll do," Shikamaru sat straight up, his gaze held seriousness as he was thinking over his plan again in his head. "Sakura and Sasuke will pretend to date while the rest of us find out who's working for Danzo. The rest of us will be able to do a lot more research without causing too much suspicion on what's going on."

"He's right," Chouji agreed with his best friend. He finished his third sundae and was calling for another one. "We can do more than you two can so just leave it to us." He gave Sakura a big chocolate covered smile and went back to his next sundae.

"Thank you," Sakura was so glad she had meet this people and that they were willing to go so far for her. "Thank you so much." They were willing to do so much for her and she couldn't mess up all their hard work. While she no longer held any feelings for Sasuke she would pretend to love him so that when this is over she could be with Kiba.


Sakura was smiling on the outside by on the inside she was screaming. It had only been a week since Danzo had taken her out of Kiba's class and separated them. She was being taught by Kurenai-sensei now and while the woman was a great teacher she didn't have any red upside down triangles on her cheeks, or short messy brown hair, and her smile didn't make Sakura's heart jump. She missed being taught by her boyfriend and she missed being able to visit him at lunch. She tried once, she sent Ino in the classroom while she waited outside to see if she could sneak in a small visit with Kiba but Ino had come back out saying he wasn't in the classroom. Shikamaru had told them later that Kiba was eating in the teacher's room with the other teachers and it looked like he wouldn't be eating in his classroom again. The news had upset Sakura because she had gotten used to eating her lunch with Kiba, even though half the time they ended up doing other things besides eating. That was another thing she missed. Her body was craving his body and she wanted things back the way they used to be. She wanted his body on her, making her scream and breath heavy from the pleasure he gave her and she wanted to do the same to him. She knew she sounded like a pervert but it just came with being in love!

"You don't look happy." Sasuke had commented, his grip on her hand tightening as they walked. At the moment they were on a date in the park, the same park that Sakura had her first and last date with Kiba. Coming here had brought up memories but she suppressed them.

She had worn a plain white t-shirt with a jean skirt and black boots, red ribbon tied around her hair as always. "Well sorry but I can't help it," She huffed, hating that his cold hand was making her body shake. How did she ever like a guy that was a giant ice cube was beyond her? It must have been puberty messing with her mind that made her like him. "You don't look to happy yourself." She looked at the boy next to her. He always had a frown on his face but today he seemed in an even worse mood.

Sasuke just snorted and turned his head to the side. "Let's just say a certain chemistry teacher is failing me for no reason." He said through clenched teeth and Sakura started laughing. He wore a dark blue shirt with a black jacket over it, black jeans and sneakers.

There was a reason. He was holding the reason in his hand right now. Kiba knew that Sasuke had lied about them dating but Kiba was obviously upset about it and he seemed to be taking his anger out on Sasuke's grade. "You should just grin and bear it. He'll probably let up sooner or later." She said with total confidence. She knew her boyfriend well enough that despite his jealously he was a fair guy and once he saw that Sasuke was helping him he would stop failing him.

She received another snort. "Doubt it," he put his free hand in his pocket and got an annoyed look in his eyes. "Because of Danzo we got a whole new chemistry class. People that didn't know you guys were dating keep asking me how I like dating you and where our next date will be. Each time I can see your boyfriend writing a giant "F" next to my name and every person that asks me how I like being in love with you." Sakura started laughing again at this. Yep, that was her boyfriend. He was born a jealous man and he would die a jealous man.

She really missed him. "Well I guess all I can say to that is good luck."

"That's not even half of it," Sasuke looked around them, making sure no one was around them. "Whoever is working for Danzo took a picture of us on our last date and sent them to Kiba."

"What?" Sakura wasn't that surprised that photos were taken. Their last date had been at an amusement park and with some many people around made it hard for them to spot if anyone was following them. What had surprised her was that the pictures were sent to Kiba. Why would their little shadow friend send them to Kiba?

Sasuke nodded, silently saying she heard him right. "Shikamaru was in the teacher's room when Kiba got them and he said that the guy just started laughing and said that someone was playing a joke on him," he cracked him neck and moved Sakura down a different trail. They weren't being followed; he didn't have that look in his eyes that he got when they were being followed. "He's good at pretending I'll say that. The whole day he acted like he never received the photos."

"But…" Sakura knew there was more to the story. She could hear it in his voice and she wanted to know what he wasn't telling her.

Sasuke just sighed and looked on ahead. "I saw him after school that same day. He was outside a liquor store, leaning up against his car and smoking. He had a lighter in his hand and was burning something," Sakura looked down at the ground. Kiba didn't smoke, she never smelt any cigarettes on him and he didn't seem like a heavy drinker either. He was suffering more than she knew. "He was burning the pictures he got that day."

"Of course he would," Sakura stopped him there. She didn't want to hear anymore of this story. She could already see Kiba, leaning against his black jeep, the cigarette in his mouth as he burned picture after picture. His eyes looking dull and empty. "I told you before about how he is. He wanted to act like a real couple with me for a long time so seeing a picture of us together was like a slap to the face." She had explained to her friends about Kiba and his jealously of the other students and how they could confess their feelings to her but he never could. Seeing those pictures must have haunted him and who knows what else he might have gotten.

"Sakura," she looked up at him and saw the look in his eyes. The same look that said they were being followed. "I'm happy that the weather is so nice." He gave her a fake grin and she returned it. They could no longer talk about Kiba and now had to pretend to be a couple in love.

"I'm so happy too," she let go of his hand to wrap her arms around his. She hated that she had to act like the dumb love struck little twelve years old that she used to be but she had to do it. "For Kiba…For Kiba…For Kiba!" she kept chanting in her head. It was all that was keeping her sane and not punching Sasuke's lights out. The guy sucked at being a boyfriend and once again she wondered what she ever saw in the guy. "This means we get to spend a lot of time together." She wanted to slap herself for sounding so stupid. She really hoped she got back with Kiba before all this acting killed her.

Sasuke smirked at her and she knew that smirked meant he was laughing at her on the inside. "I am so glad you feel that way."

"Yeah right." If she could have she would have rolled her eyes. He was only happy she was because it meant she was amusing him right now. "Jerk!" she really was going to slap him soon.

"Sakura," he stopped walking and pulled her closer. "Kiss me."

She felt her body stiffen at those words. What did he mean kiss her? They weren't really dating they were faking it. "W-What?" her cheeks were pink and her eyes were wide. She had never expected him to want to kiss her and she didn't think she could.

He pulled her face close to his and leaned forwards. "We're being watched now. We need to act like a real couple."

He didn't give her any chances to reply. His lips were on hers in a second and she wrapped her arms around his waist, while his hands remained on her cheeks. She heard what he said, they were being watched and they had to show Danzo that they were a real couple like they said they were. It had been a week and they hadn't kissed once so it must have caused suspicion that one of her friends must have caught up on. So she didn't argue and went with the kiss, it was gentle and smooth and different from what she was used too. His lips didn't try and dominate her but they stayed calm and at a gentle pace. His tongue didn't dance with hers but instead both stayed inside their own mouths. He didn't leave her breathless and wanting more when he pulled away but only left her feeling like someone was stabbing her with a knife as cold as ice.

They didn't do anymore than that, Sasuke's phone rang and it was Naruto screaming at him to come over his house. "I have to go," he kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear, "Whoever was watching us is gone, but be careful if the come back." He left her with that, running out of the park and catching a bus that would take him to Naruto's apartment.

She watched him go, fingers running over her lips over and over again trying to see if what happened really did. She could still feel it when he kissed her, but her lips showed no signs of it. They weren't swollen and she still held a good amount of her lip gloss on. There was no sign that she had been kissed, there was no sign of love in that kiss. She hugged herself tight, her body suddenly felt very cold as she walked out of the park. It didn't matter where she went or if someone was following her. Danzo must have known that they were faking it. That kiss alone proved it, a kiss with no love or emotion was fake no matter how real a person made it out to be. Danzo knew they were faking and he would just continue to torture them until they gave in to him. He wouldn't stop until he won and they were all punished for going against him. Tears spilled over her eyes as she walked down the empty sidewalk, she was letting her feet guide her along this different yet strangely familiar road. She didn't focus on the destination because she didn't care anymore where she ended up. There was only one place that she wanted to be.

"Kiba…" she felt her feet stop her at a house that wasn't hers. "I'm at Kiba's." her feet had taken her to the place that she wanted so desperately to go to. Her heart began to speed up as her eyes saw his car in the drive way, he was home. He was home and she could see him, she could hold him…she could be with him. No longer caring about Danzo or whoever else was watching her, Sakura ran to the door and rang the door bell once and waited.

"Just a minute," she heard his voice and her heart began to speed up again. If she ran now then he wouldn't see her. He would just think it's some stupid kids playing a joke on him and she could walk away and not have to worry about Danzo ruining their lives. "Sakura?" Too bad she didn't care about any of that. Kiba had opened his door in a pair of old jeans and a red t-shirt. "What are you doing here?" he looked at her with such worry that it made her start crying all over again. He was there, standing directly in front of her, and looking at her with such worry in his eyes. He was looking at her! "What's wrong? Who hurt you? Tell me!" he begged her to tell him who caused her tears but she didn't need to. It didn't matter why she was crying, they were finally together.

"Kiba," she flew herself into his arms, holding him tight as she cried. She cried at the sight of finally being able to see the man she loved after not seeing him at all. She was so happy to be with him that she couldn't control herself and let everything she had been feeling the past week come out. She was glad when she felt him take her inside his home and wrap his own arms around her smaller body. "I-I kissed him," she whispered out into his shirt. The tears were still falling but she could speak now. "I kissed Sasuke but I hated it," she buried her face in his shirt, nose taking in his scent and she hadn't realized just how badly she missed him. "I felt so cold after, like I had a giant chunk of ice in my heart."

He hand one hand on her back and the other running through her hair. She missed feeling his fingers running through her pink hair and she wanted him to continue forever. He ran through her hair and removed her ribbon from her hair, putting the red fabric in his pants pocket. "Sakura," she missed hearing her name from his mouth. Ino was right; people in love do say each other's name differently. They say it with love that only their partner can hear. "What are you saying?" she wasn't surprised that he was confused. She had come to his home, crying her eyes out, and was telling him she kissed Sasuke. Anyone would be confused.

Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves down and finally stopping her tears she looked up at him. "I love you," she confessed and didn't care if a whole reporting crew was outside taping the whole show. "I love you and I want to be with you," That was all it took. He kissed her and she kissed him back. After a week of not being together they were finally in the arms of the one they loved and it felt amazing. All their pent of emotions, frustration, anger, rage, and love was coming out in this one kiss and they were taking it all in. That familiar dance they both missed started again and Sakura titled her head back, the kissed deepened and both moaned at the pleasant feeling of being able to kiss the one they love. "Make me yours." She whispered to him.

He picked her up and she held on as he carried to the bedroom, her boots coming off once her feet left the ground, and the whole way their kiss never broke but only increased with each step that was taken. With a quick kick the bedroom door was open and closed and for a moment they just stayed there, Kiba leaning against the closed door and her in his arms. Their eyes on each other and kiss broken as they took deep breathe of air, a silent question was being asked between the two.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

The kiss started up again and Sakura landed on her back on a soft bed. Kiba jumping on after her, ripping his shirt off in the process of it and went back to kissing her. They had their arms wrapped all around each other, Sakura running her fingers over his exposed chest and back. She missed this feeling of his body against hers, the feelings she always got, and how even with the short amount of time being together she had felt no regret but only a deeper feeling of love bloom. Her shirt came next and with a hard tug he ripped it off her body, throwing it into a random corner of the room. His mouth went to her chest, kissing the soft skin that was exposed to him and Sakura moaned as his sharp teeth ran over her sensitive skin, making her shiver. Her bra was next and he threw it off her before she even knew it, only when his mouth was on her breast and the other in his hand did she know that it was off. She arched her back, letting him suck more on the rounded mold and panted out. His tongue was swirling all around it, lips kissing her, and teeth playing with her aroused nipples. His hand that was on her other breast was playing with it, fingers pinching her and he was cupping it in his hands and claiming it as his. She felt him biting her, marking her body as his and his alone and she loved it all.

He left her chest and started plating butterfly kisses down her stomach, something that should have made her laugh just made her moan more. His tongue was running down her smooth skin, making patterns around her flat stomach. She was panting and her hands kept running through his hair, she wanted to feel so much more. His eyes darted up at her for a moment, asking silently if once again if she really wanted this and she nodded. This was what she wanted and she wanted it now. So with just his mouth he unzipped her skirt while his hands pulled off his pants and flung both pieces of fabric off their body. Now they were only in the underwear and Sakura felt her heart speed up, it was finally happening. Kiba already kicked his boxers off and went down to her panties, he kissed her covered sex, making her shiver all over again and removed them with his teeth. She watched him hold them in his mouth and thought he looked like a wolf about to eat his prey and she loved it.

With the panties gone meant she was completely naked to him. Something that had never been done before despite the many times they had done things together. Usually they had at least one of more pieces of clothing on but now she was bare of all clothing and she wondered briefly if he was comparing her to other girls that he had been with.

"Beautiful," he kissed her chest again, this time where her heart was beating. "You're beautiful and all for me." She would never understand how he always knew what she was thinking but she loved it all the same.

She opened herself for him to take and become one with him the way only true lovers come. Her body jerked when his tongue was on her, licking her sudden wet sex and she moaned every time he licked her. His hands were holding her thighs, keeping her still and wide open for him to have even more access to her body but every so often he would stick a finger in her and pinch her clit. It was paradise and torture all at the same time. She was panting when his tongue went inside her and she could feel it moving all over her, sucking her juices. She didn't know if it was just the way they were now but she could feel him even more than all those times he had been with her before. This time she felt every part of his tongue licking her, his fingers pinching and playing with her sensitive skin, and his teeth that seemed to graze her at every touch. It all felt so new to her but still so familiar that it was driving her insane. She rocked her head back and forth, screams and moans coming from her mouth as that feeling began to boil in her stomach. The deep burning pleasure that would soon explode and make her cum. She could hear her voice calling to him, panting his name and begging him for him. She heard herself but she didn't even remember speaking but somehow she was and Kiba was listening to her. His mouth and fingers started to pick up speed and that burning feeling increased to a point she hadn't ever felt before. She came not long after and felt herself sink into the bed, her juices pouring out of her like a flood. She was still for a moment, trying to catch her breath but she gasped when Kiba started licking her again, sucking up all the juices she had released for him.

She had never felt anything like that before, even after all the times she had been with him never had she cum that much before. She felt so weak but at the same time to full of energy that her body sat up before her mind could tell her she was too tired. Kiba sat up with her, kissing her body the whole way up until he found her lips. For a moment that was all they did, they kissed each other and for that moment that was all they needed to do. But then their desire increased and Sakura wanted to do more and they did. Kiba had pulled them down, her lying on top of him and she began to kiss his exposed body this time. She went to his neck and kissed the spot that she had bitten down on the first day they started all their times together. There was still a small scar from her bit and she kissed her, giving it a loving lick.

Kiba wasn't a man born with patience; he got impatient very fast just as quickly as he got jealous. With a sharp thrust of his hips he rub his sex against hers, reminding her what he wanted her to do. She understood and went down to his member; it seemed even bigger than last time she had been with him. With a deep breath she opened her mouth and took him in, hands grabbing the spots she couldn't get and started going up and down on him. With him in her mouth she could feel his body twitch every time her tongue or fingers touched him. He was gripping the bed sheets in his hands and he was thrust himself more into her, groans of deep pleasure came from his mouth and Sakura quickened her pace. Her tongue circling his twitching member and her fingers running up and down his longer shaft when she took him out to go and suck on his balls. She sucked both of them, licking at the sensitive that was making him jump with every swift stroke of her tongue. She stayed there for some time, her hands moving up and down on his shaft and her mouth working on his balls before finally she took him back in her mouth and continued what she was doing before. Slowly she removed her hands from him and took in more of him in until finally all of him was in her mouth. She picked up on her speed once she got all of him in and his thrust were becoming more and more frequent, telling her it would be his time soon. She replied with a quick pace, fingers playing with his ball sack and before long he came in her mouth. She nearly gagged at how much was pouring out, there was even more than last time but she held herself. With deep breathes through her nose she swallowed all of him, big gulps to get his sperm down her throat and her tongue to wipe up any she had missed. She swirled her tongue all over him, wiping away the cum that hadn't been able to make it into her mouth but swallowed them all.

She finally gasped when everything was done and laid her head down on his stomach. She was breathing hard, trying to catch her breath as her beating heart only seemed to increase in its speed. She closed her eyes for a brief moment; even with her lying on his stomach she could still his heartbeat. It was beating in time with her own and that made her smile. They truly were becoming one at this moment and somehow both their hearts seemed to pick up speed at the thought. Kiba pulled her up to him with a soft thug of her wrist and she followed, lying on his chest and the two kissed once again. Warm lips bruising her soft ones and she smiled into the kiss, she had missed all of this. He flipped her onto her back and she felt her body begin to panic from the realization that this was it. They were finally going to do it. She was going to lose her virginity to him and that sudden thought of it all scared her.

"Sakura," he kissed her forehead, hands that were once doing so many unspeakable things to her body were now holding her gently. "I love you." That was all it took for hi to calm her down.

"I love you too." she wrapped her arms around his larger frame, hands resting on his back. He wasn't promising her that it would hurt or that she would only feel pleasure. They both knew it would hurt her so instead of promising no pain he was promising her love. Even after this ended he would love her.

With that promise spoken between them Kiba positioned himself at her entrance. His hands were on both of her hips to hold her still and make sure she didn't move too much and cause anymore pain then she would receive. With a quick nod they started their final moment that would make the two become one.

Sakura's eyes widened once the pain hit her, she felt him go inside her and she cried out in pain. She had taken him in her mouth before but he had never felt this big before. He was stretching her out, making her bleed and cry from the pain of having something so large suddenly enter her. She whimpered and held on tight to him, she hadn't thought that much pain would come from one thrust. Kiba kissed her head, his soft whispers reaching her ears as he kissed her face. He was trying to calm her down from the sudden pain she felt and Sakura was glad she had fallen for this man. She gave him another nod as his signal to continue and he pushed himself in deeper to her. She whimpered into his skin, nails starting to dig in his skin as he pushed himself in and out of her, going a bit deeper every time he pulled out. The pain was still with her but held her tight, his hands had left her hips and now he had both his arms wrapped around her body, pulling her closer to his. He was still whispering in her ear but his words were lost to her, all she heard was moans and she didn't know if they were hers or his. All she knew was that his thrusting started to increase and she pushed herself deeper into his body, nails digging deeper into his back and she knew he would have marks on his back. The pain was beginning to decrease and her cries of pain were starting to leave her, her body was no longer screaming in pain and she even wrapped her legs around his waist, making him go even deeper into her.

The pain had finally left her and now all she felt was pleasure of him thrusting in and out of her. He was going in deeper and deeper until finally he was all the way inside her, she felt the very tip of him touching her womb and she cried out. It all felt so amazing and she wanted more and that's when she finally noticed that her hips were moving along with him. She was in time with his thrust and cried out every time she felt him go even deeper inside her. How something that started so painful could turn into something that felt so good was a mystery to her and one she did not care to solve. He was making her feel so good. She felt her back arch every time he pushed himself inside her and she could hear his grunts over her moans, his hands held her tight to his body. He was pushing her down deeper into the bed, now it was no longer about making sure she survived the pain but rather now it was about going faster and getting even feeling out of this. His forehead was pressed against hers and his thrusts began to pick up more speed and became more frequent and she going in time with him. They were going to explode soon and they wanted that feeling to come now. She felt her body tighten around his member that was inside her, her juices were somehow still pouring out making him move faster and easy now. Sakura felt her body begin to burn with a feeling she had never felt before until it burned out and she came with Kiba. He exploded inside her, she could feel his seeds rush in her and she cried out at it all happening at once. She felt herself spill even more juices out of her and she gasped when he suddenly pulled himself out of her body.

She didn't have time to react, Kiba flipped her onto her stomach and pushed himself inside her other hole. She gasped as he entered her from behind, his fingers playing wither clit and entering her dripping and swollen sex. She hadn't been expecting him to take her from behind but he was and she couldn't stop the cries that came from her. His hands were on her hips, making her butt raised more into the air and making him enter her deeper while her face was pressed against the bed. She gripped his sheets with each thrust he took and wanted to scream at the torture he was doing to her body. He had both her holes filled with him; he thrust himself into her butt while he stuck all five of his fingers inside her still dripping sex. Her eyes were wide at the feeling of him swirling his fingers inside her and still feeling each thrust of his member happening all at once. She didn't know how much she could take of this, it was a pleasure mixed in with an equal amount of torture and it had her scream at the top of her lungs. Her grip on the sheets increased when his speed did the same, he was pumping in her faster as her cries grew louder and louder. He was leaning over her on his knees, his hand that was holding her hip left to pick her up by the shoulder, making her stand on her hands and knees. His free hand went to fondle one of her breasts while his mouth came onto her neck, sucking and biting her with such passion that it had her screaming all over again. It was all too much for her and her body was rocking with everything that was happing to it, hips trying to move in time with his body and trying to keep her standing like he wanted her to be. She felt her body begin to burn with that intense feeling again and before long she came again with Kiba spilling his seeds inside, Sakura feeling every minute of him pouring himself out into her.

She couldn't hold herself anymore, she collapsed on the bed and Kiba fell with her. He took him out of her and she rolled over to face him, both were panting hard and they looked drained of all energy. But they never felt more alive than they did at that moment. The moved to hold each other in their arms, even after what they had done there was still a need to be close to each other, a feeling both were sure would never disappear. So they held each other, their bodies dripped of sweat and they both had marks on them from them digging their finger nails into their bodies but despite all that they believed the other never looked more amazing then they did at that moment.

"I love you."

"I love you too."
