Guest: thank you guest! Don't feel shy to write me a review here and there when you appreciate a chapter. It is really important for the author. I have read so many stories that have been abandoned by author and I know why. It is so painful to have no echo of you work, to think that you fail, that your work is not good enough. Each chapter are a tone of work for the author and the beta reader. It please us to see that someone was touched enough to leave a word, even just one. I doubt in my native language when I write too, English is just harder as I wonder if the word I used is the right one, if it make sense. Thank you to have take the time to tell me your thoughs, they are really precious to me. Thank you!

crazyprankster: thank you! I love your ideas! But unfortunately, the story is written already... finishing the correction mostly and to be honest to write your plot, I would have needed to add so much more chapters and when I wrote this story, I was so depressed with the little succes of my first one that I wanted to end it fast. That's why it is a short story. Thank you for your support. In some way, your support from now will decide the future of the third story in progress right now and the updating of this one.
SOON WILL ARRIVE MY NEW STORY:
"All over again..."
I am just waiting for a beta reader to post it.
Chap 10: Finding Naruto
As soon as Kakashi give her the scroll to allow her to join Naruto on his mission, Sakura ran out of the office, opening the door abruptly in her haste.
"Thank you, Kakashi-sensei!" She told him in parting, regaining her hope as she moved forward without looking. The fact that she was not looking where she was going had consequences, and in exiting – she seemingly collided with a wall which actually turned out to be Sasuke's torso. His right hand was raised, frozen in the movement of preparing to knock on the door and surprise was written all over his face at the unexpected impact.
"Sorry!" Sasuke heard briefly, just spotting a blur of pink passing at top speed without a second glance.
Kakashi, in a first rate place to witness the scene, wondered if she even registered that it was Sasuke that she had run by. After a brief pause, Kakashi invited the frowning Sasuke to enter… After all the door was already wide open. The former rogue ninja came to his desk and inquired about the commotion.
The Hokage smiled mischievously and answered simply with, "Naruto forget to take his beloved partner on his mission."
Meanwhile….
Sakura ran, she ran with all her might. She had to see Naruto. She had to tell him. She ran, she jumped, she flew, all around her was a mess of blur. Scenery morphed into an indistinct picture where nothing mattered. The pinkette didn't stop to rest or to calm her raging breath. She needed to arrive as fast as possible. There was only one goal emblazoned in her mind: the sand village.
Soon, she would tell Naruto everything that she had kept in her heart, and he would smile at her…she would make things right for both of them.
Sakura passed from the familiar shadow of the trees in the land of Fire, to the burning sun of the sand country. The light was blinding and the sand danced around her, accompanied by a scorching breeze. The Konoha's kunoichi wasn't used to this type of environment but she still didn't slow down. She would not!
Dunes! Dunes everywhere! The tall piles of loose sand made running so much more difficult, and yet Sakura pressed on, desperate to reach her goal.
Eventually, the sun settled down on the formidable dunes, the sky blazed with a fiery orange and Sakura smiled, remembering his favorite color. It was like she was getting closer to him. She accelerated her pace searching the depths of her reserves for more power.
The sky turned dark, bringing with it the coolness of the night. A nearly full moon emerged from the horizon line, serenely replacing the bright light of the sun with a more timid clarity. The gentle curves of sand looked like a silver unmoving sea. No matter how far she went, the scenery was the same. Her feet carried her forward, lifting a small cloud of dust on each step. It would only be a few more hours until she could see him.
After that final stretch, Sakura finally reached her goal. It was certainly improper to barge in so late at night when she wasn't expected. However, she couldn't care less at the moment about observing good etiquette. The pinkette stopped at the guard's gate and presented herself.
"I am Sakura Haruno of the Leaf, friend of the Kazekage. I have an important message for the ambassador of the Leaf, Naruto Uzumaki."
Sakura made herself look as if she was on an extremely important mission. She didn't completely lie ; her love confession was indeed an important message to her. The Konoha kunoichi presented the Hokage's scroll to convince the guard to inform the Kazekage of her visit.
Once she finally got through security and was allowed to see the Kaezekage, she quickly made her way to his office. As soon as the pinkette set foot in the room, Lord Gaara stood up and came forward, welcoming her warmly.
"Sakura! Naruto didn't tell me that you were supposed to come too..."
She bowed respectfully. "Kazekage-sama! Sorry that my visit was unannounced. I hope I haven't caused too much trouble for you. I came because I have an important matter to discuss with Naruto."
The Kazekage frowned. "I see... He has been more reserved than usual, ; it seemed something was on his mind during dinner this evening". Let me know if I can do something to help solve whatever is troubling him."
Sakura cringed inwardly while keeping a polite smile on her face. She had been the trouble causing Naruto's mind to wander.
"It will be fine..." she assured him. "Can you tell me where to find him?"
Gaara looked surprised. "At this time? You don't want to rest first and talk to him in the morning?" He asked.
It's true that it'shorribly late. Naruto must be sleeping by now. The pinkette shyly lowered her eyes and insisted, saying that it truly was urgent she see him now. She couldn't wait even one minute more to see him. Gaara thankfully didn't question her further and called over a guard to show her the way.
As Konoha's ambassador and most respected friend of the Kazekage, Naruto had been installed in the apartment reserved for the highest ranking visitors for the duration of his stay in the Sand Village. To Sakura, the walk to his room seemed as long as the way from Konoha to the Sand village. A long interminable corridor, where the only sound she could hear was the drumming of her heart in her ears. The words she was planning to tell him turned into an infinite loop in her mind. She could not fail!
The guard finally stopped and the pinkette crashed into his back , focused as she was on replaying her scenario. A cold sweat ran down her spine... Naruto was sleeping behind this door. The guard took his leave and she gulped, staring apprehensively at the door.What if... Sakura clenched her fists, she would face whatever outcome she got to her confession.
The knocking sound pulled the blond out of his slumber. He was so tired, he had tried to fall asleep for the past 4 hours and just managed to get a wink of sleep a few minutes ago. Naruto yawned, looking at the hour. Damn sand people! Is this any kind of timeto wake up people? He rolled out of the bed and scratched his head while lazily walking toward the annoying sound that came again.
"Ay! Ay! I'm up! One second!"
She heard his voice and her body tensed apprehensively. The door opened, revealing a yawning Naruto, eyes still closed, one hand up in his hair and again a nearly 'naked' body. As if her brain wasn't in enough turmoil, Naruto had to add showing off so much skin to complete her restlessness. His eyelids opened slowly and he finally looked down at his visitor's face.
Naruto gasped, wide eyed. For a second he thought that he had sleepwalked, then wildly thought that he might be under a gentjutsu and tried to dispel it. His vision didn't change. The woman he loved was here, in front of him, in the sand country.
Sakura was blushing, as immobile as him. The entire grand speech she had prepared evaporated in a mist. Naruto was here. She had to tell him. But she felt like fainting. Her heart was too clenched to even beat. She had to tell him. She had to... Damn stupid heart! It was as if it was trying to escape through her throat to jump at him. All her brilliant words became useless because of a more useless body that refused to obey her. Her gaze left the surprised cerulean blue eyes and lowered to his lips.
Those lips. She had incessantly dreamt of them since the closet incident. Her body moved forward on its own and her arms rolled around his neck while she lifted herself to the tips of her toes to reach those insufferable, tempting lips.
So soft. His brain burst alive at the sensation. His Sakura was kissing him. Was his mind playing some trick on him?
Meanwhile, Sakura wanted to taste him again. Her tongue slipped in between his slightly parted lips, shyly caressing her partner in an invitation.
His mind was blown. It was real! He pulled away, breathing hard to regain some sanity. "Sakura-chan!...Wh-what!...Huh...How?...Sasuke...W-why..." Naruto blabbered incoherently. Ok,my brain isn't working, he admitted to himself.
Sakura realized what she had done and took a step back, dropping her arms. The pinkette fixed her gaze to the floor, insecure that she might have been wrong about his feelings.
Naruto breathed in and studied her, still not understanding what just happened.
"B-but Sasuke is back..." he eventually managed to utter in his confusion. He had expected that she would completely forget his existence as soon as their dark-haired friend came back to the village.
Sakura gathered all her remaining bravery, but her voice still wavered, full of fear as she confessed, "I love you!"
Her cheeks burned red and after a moment her eyes glanced up timidly to meet his. He was gaping. The idiot was gaping! She would have found it comical if she wasn't the one on the receiving end of it after her love confession. Anger seeped into her blood. Doeshe know how hard it was to confess?
"Really?" There was a hint of hope in his voice, as if he couldn't imagine it being true but still wished for the impossible.
Sakura understood. She had shunned him for so long that her words were making no sense to him.
Determination shined in her eyes. The pinkette took a step forward towards him and kissed him again softy, so gently that he could have melted under such a warm feeling spreading through his veins. She hid her face in the crook of his neck afterward, still holding him.
"Do you like me, Naruto?" Sakura murmured against his skin not wanting to let him go.
His heart jumped in his chest and Naruto tilted his face to search for hers. Her lips were inaccessible, so he softly kissed her cheek and whispered:
"No, I don't like you..."
She jerked her head up in surprise and her eyes met his loving gaze.
"I love you, Sakura-chan!" Naruto declared, giving her a chaste kiss on her lips this time.
He loves her! The simple thought was enough for Sakura after feeling like her heart had been put through a rollercoaster, and all her emotions burst forth. She pushed him inside the room while slamming the door shut behind her and kissed him more passionately.
His arms embraced her. He wanted to feel her against him, more, more than ever. Their mouths moved against each other, their tongues battled, dived, explored, caressed. Fire. Fervent desires burned their bodies.
Sakura was intoxicated by him. She was in a whirlpool of passion, his kisses, his hands on her, his skin under her palms. Meanwhile, the way she was kissing him unleashed some wildness in Naruto and he pinned her to the wall. He wanted her. His hand began to open the zip of her top and his mouth kept kissing her, not leaving her for more than a small puff of air. He couldn't get enough.
They abruptly came to a halt in their activities at a knock on the door and jumped instinctively apart at a respectable distance, even though nobody could see them.
"Sakura-sama... I came to inform you that your room is prepared and I can show it to you whenever you like," came a polite voice from the corridor.
Sakura frowned, glaring daggers at the door even if the guard couldn't see her to run away.
"I don't need it! I'm staying here!" She declared loud enough for the guard to hear her.
Naruto looked at her, stunned. "You're staying?" The blond questioned, dumbfounded.
Her glare turned towards him. "Why? Don't you want me to stay?" She replied harshly.
Naruto nodded his head. Sure I want... But didn't she feelhis member awakening. The guard wished them a good night and Naruto scratched his cheek, embarrassed. He couldn't tell her 'not to stay'. He wanted so much to sleep with her again. However, it was not safe.
"Sakura-chan..." Naruto began, unsure.
The pinkette kissed him on the cheek. "I want to stay with you tonight," was her whole explanation before turning her back to him and looking around the room.
Doesshe know what she's risking, staying with me? he wondered.
"Where's the bathroom, Naruto? I'm all dusty from the trip, I want to clean up before sleeping." Sakura asked, opening a closet door.
Naruto bit his lips, restraining a moan. Her bra was showing a little from the unzipped part of her top. He was going to explode silently from excitement tonight. It seemed she was unaware of the danger he posed.She must think that we're going to be sleeping innocently together like on our mission.
"The bathroom is on the left, Sakura-chan. Do you want a t-shirt and shorts to change into?" the blond offered, not letting his distress leak into his voice. She accepted and disappeared with the clothes he gave her.
Naruto paced back and forth in front of the window. He still could let her take the bed and he would sleep on a chair. Naruto tried to breathe to calm himself. He could try to meditated the whole night to contain his desire. His reasoning got interrupted when Sakura showed up all freshen up from her shower. She was wearing only his t-shirt and she dropped his shorts on a chair nearby.
"Your shorts are too big for me..." She told him nonchalantly.
NO REVIEW = NO UPDATE
