Hello everyone! Next chapter here!

Warning: This chapter is a little more between T and M. Regarding the topics.

And I have so many ideas for different stories, but not finishing them! :/ Haha, after I finish this story maybe I'll start on them... How about a quick synopsis so everyone can vote? This will go for till the end of the story?

1. High School life. Sakura-new girl. Sasuke-popular rich boy(of course). Sakura stands up to him, and he starts falling for her, but she doesn't feel the same way. Until one night when he saves her. (A mix of Boys Before Flowers, Playful Kiss, and the Korean Drama- The Greatest Love).

2. One night stand. The next night, Sasuke leaves Konoha, after defeating Itachi he comes back and finds that Sakura had his kid. (not as many ideas for this one as the first one)

3. what if Itachi never killed his family? What if Sasuke was never bent on revenge? What if Sasuke was happy?

4. any suggestions?


Sakura woke up the next morning and left the campsite. She had spotted a lake and decided to take a quick bath in it. She took off her shirt and skit before hearing a rustle in the bushes. She turned and threw a kunai at the rustle. No one came out. She just thought of it as a rabbit or squirrel and proceeded to take off the rest of her clothes and stepped into the lake. She walked in only covering the bottom half of her before hearing another rustling. She covered her breasts with her arms as she turned around. There was a guy standing there with his pants undone, and Sakura could tell he was the one watching her.

"What a pretty little lady." the man said.

"Get away form here. Haven't you ever heard of a little privacy?" Sakura asked.

"Lucky for me, the water is very clear. A very nice little view of everything." the man said.

"Get lost!" Sakura said.

"Oh right I should introduce myself. My name is Iwao. It must be my lucky day. A pretty, little, wet naked lady. Perfect. How about a little fun? You look like you could use a good time. I know I could." Iwao said.

"Don't make me kick your ass!" Sakura said.

"With what? Everything is over here." he said.

He proceeded to walk into the water. Sakura tried to run away but he was fast. He appeared right in front of her. Sakura concentrated chakra into her fish and punched toward him. He dodged and then trapped her hands with one of his hands. His free hand was aiming downwards until a kunai whizzed past his head. Sakura and Iwao turned their heads. Sasuke was there, his eyes burning with Sharingan. Sakura looked relief and she took that opportunity to charge her fist with chakra and punch Iwao in the face. He skid across the water and hit a tree. Sasuke ran to where he was and picked him up and punched him and threw him to the ground, and then kicked him. Sakura walked up and checked his pulse. He was still breathing, just unconscious. Sasuke turned to see Sakura out of the water and kneeling next to him and realized she was still naked. His face turned slightly red and Sasuke dragged his body to the middle of the forest and tied him up to the tree and walked back. Sakura was back in the water finishing up her bath. He saw the back side of her.

"You can still finish your bath after that?" Sasuke asked.

Sakura turned with her arm across her breasts. Sasuke slightly turned his head having pink tints in his cheeks. Sakura chuckled. She decided to tease him a bit.

"A girl's still gotta take her bath." Sakura said.

Even though he knew it was wrong he still moved his eyes to look. Sakura is his girlfriend. He already decided that she was the one who he loved, and want for the mother of his kids. A little peek wouldn't hurt. Sakura knowing Sasuke was watching her, went underwater and then came out flipping her hair to her back (like in Little Mermaid or something xD). The water glistened over her breasts. She walked slowly toward him and out of the water. He saw her whole body. Sakura walked towards Sasuke but then turned to her clothes. Sasuke grabbed her wrist and pulled her close to him. He leaned near her ear.

"I wouldn't do that. You don't want to tempt me." Sasuke said.

"What if I said I do?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke kissed her and his lips moved from her lips to her neck. Sakura took off Sasuke's shirt and he took off his shorts and she dragged him back to the water. His lips found their way back to her's. After a couple minutes, they stopped for air. Sakura and Sasuke came out of the water and they got dressed.

"I don't think you were supposed to see all that just yet." Sakura said.

"Who was the one teasing the other?" Sasuke said.

"Fair enough." Sakura said.

They walked back to camp to eat breakfast. Everyone sat at the table already eating. Sasuke and Sakura sat down and took a seat. Ino and Naruto of course took notice in their lateness and wet hair.

"What were you two doing?" Ino asked.

"I was walking by the lake until Sasuke showed up behind me and scared me. I started falling into the water but then Sasuke caught me, so only my hair got wet, and then for scaring me, I got my revenge by dunking his head in the water." Sakura said.

"The lake? Is it pretty? Oh we should all go over there before we leave!" Ino said.

"We don't have time, we have to keep moving." Neji said.

"Neji's right. As soon as everyone's done, we're packing up and leaving." Shikamaru said.

After eating, they all packed up and were on the move again. The guys and Hinata were more up front, and Team Hebi were in the middle and Sakura and Ino decided to hang back. After making sure they were an ear shot away from the others, Ino had begun to interrogate Sakura about what really happened at the lake.

"I know you didn't just and only get your head wet. And I know you two did something. So spill already." Ino said.

Sakura sighed and knew she couldn't keep something like this from Ino. She told her everything from the peeping tom to the naked- half-naked makeout.

"Hmmmm, you guys are moving faster than I thought." Ino said.

"And how fast did you think it was going to go?" Sakura asked.

"Well, I didn't think you two would even sleep together until at least two months maybe three from now. But now, this changes everything. I am guessing by the next month." Ino said.

"Ino. This is ridiculous. We're not going to...do that. I mean sure it's been getting closer, but I'm telling you definently not yet." Sakura said.

"Look, I bet you a bunch of girls think that way, but stuff happens. Next time we go to town, I think you should buy some necessities. Just in case." Ino said.

"Ino we're not going to-"

"Look, the next thing you want, is to be a teenager mother. It's hard. I've seen it at the hospital. You're a medic nin, you should know this." Ino said.

"You're right. I'll take your advice." Sakura said.

"Good." Ino said.

"So how's it going with you and Shika? Getting close?" Sakura asked.

"Sort of, last night, when it was Shika's turn to watch, I came out of my tent. We talked and we found some sake and drank that. You know, I'm don't get drunk easily, but for this occasion, I pretended to. I started swaying and then when Shika caught me, I said 'I like you' and kissed him and then pretended to pass out. I heard him say troublesome woman but I took a quick peek and saw that he was smiling. Step 1 is complete." Ino said.

"Wow, you sure know what you're doing." Sakura said.

"Of course. I work at a hospital and I'm a teenage girl. Give me some credit." Ino said.

After two hours of traveling, everyone took a ten minute break to restock on supplies. The girls went to go stock on medical supplies. Chouji and Naruto on food. Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru on developing a plan. In the store, Sakura passed by the aisle a couple times containing the necessities Ino talked about. Ino found her and pushed her into the aisle.

"You're a sixteen year old teenager. Relax, it's normal for every teen to at least be prepared." Ino said.

"But still this is so-"

"Here, take these. The hospital is always giving out these. They're supposedly the best ones. Remember, you miss one day of birth control, and it could change everything." Ino warned.

"I'm a medic nin too. I know." Sakura said.

"Good, now you go hurry up and buy these, and I'm going to go make sure we got everything." Ino said.

Sakura nodded and headed over to the cash register. As soon as she purchased it, she stuffed them deep into her bag. She then walked over to where the other girls were. They had all the supplies and bought them and met the guys at the spot.

"Okay everybody set?" Shikamaru asked.

"Yeah I think we got everything." Sakura said.

"Then let's go. We need to get a move on." Naruto said.

"So Sasuke what exactly do you plan to do when we find Itachi?" Suigetsu asked.

"Kill him myself. No one is to interfere." Sasuke ordered.

"And after that?" Jugo asked.

"You're free to do whatever you want." Sasuke said.

"Sounds like a good deal to me." Suigetsu said.

"Hey not so fast. Aren't they wanted criminals too?" Neji asked.

"Yeah, we should take them with us too." Chouji said.

"This is about me and Sasuke. Leave those three out of it." Sakura said.

"Fine. But what are two going to do if they penalty results in death?" Shikamaru asked.

"Then we leave again. I'm not going to die. Not now and not by Konoha." Sakura said.

"Konoha isn't my home anymore. Maybe Sakura's but not mine." Sasuke said.

"Wouldn't you go where she goes? You two are dating aren't you?" Shikamaru said.

"If Sakura decides she doesn't want to go or stay then we'll see how things work. I'm not going to leave her." Sasuke said.

"What if she leaves you first?" Shikamaru asked.

"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked.

"Sakura, you're dying aren't you?" Shikamaru asked.

Sakura looked at Shikamaru and then at Sasuke. She could tell the look of hurt in his face and how his eyes screamed at her to tell him it's not true. That Shikamaru doesn't know anything and that he's lying.

"...How'd you know?.." Sakura whispered.

"You mean it's true?" Sasuke asked.

"I heard Tsunade talk about a drug that Kabuto invented. One that will make a person stronger but can result in death if the dizziness and fainting don't stop. I heard from Ino that she found you, passed out, but you claimed that you fell asleep. And then Karin heard us, and told us about the event in a grocery store." Shikamaru said.

"It's not for sure yet... it could stop soon.." Sakura said.

"But how likely is it?" Shikamaru asked.

"Because, I'm a better medic than Kabuto ever was." Sakura said.

"So you're going to find a cure?" Shikamaru asked.

"I will. I know I will." Sakura said.

"Sakura you know it's-" Shikamaru said.

Sakura looked at him with tears in her eyes. She just needed one person to tell her it was going to be alright. She needed to hear it even if it wasn't possible. Shikamaru sighed and looked from Sakura to Sasuke.

"Worst comes to worst. We'll ask Tsunade-sama for help." Shikamaru said.

They continued to travel and Sasuke stayed in back to talk with Sakura. At first he didn't know what to say. How much time is left? When were you going to tell me? When you died? A million questions. Some with anger and some with concern.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Sasuke asked.

"Because we needed to find Itachi.." Sakura said.

"This is more important than that!" Sasuke said.

"I wanted to tell you after because, then I could be at peace knowing I was there for you till the very end." Sakura said.

"Don't say that. It's not going to be the end." Sasuke said.

"Yes it is." Sakura said.

"It's not true. Kabuto is a liar. Don't believe a word he said." Sasuke said.

"How can I when I've been fainting and having dizzy spells just like he said I would! I don't want to either but it might have to be this way." Sakura said.

"There has to be a cure out there. We'll find it. Don't worry." Sasuke said.

Sasuke took her hand and made her stop. He looked at her and leaned in. She leaned toward him and they kissed. Tears rolled down Sakura's eyes. She didn't want to stop. She just wanted time to freeze just at this moment. She didn't want to let him pull back and he didnt want to pull away either. When they finally did Sakura was still crying. He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead. He pulled her into a hug, kissed the top of her head, and told her everything was going to be alright. At least, that's what they hoped.
