Chapter 11: Beautiful in the Worst Times

Sakura trembled in his arms; letting tears of joy escape her jade eyes. How right it felt to be with him again, to touch him, hold him. His hand gently stroked her hair as she moved to sit beside him on the bed.

"I must look like a mess." She pulled away and wiped her reddening eyes.

He griped her wrist and held it, causing her to meet his eyes, "I think you look beautiful."

Looking deep in his onyx eyes she saw the truth in his words. No matter how horrible she looked he would still think she was beautiful. Sakura smiled and bit her lower lip. He laid a chaste kiss to her forehead, "I was so worried I lost you. Don't ever scare me like that again."

She pulled away and brushed her lips to his own before meeting his ebony eyes once more, "Why would I ever leave you?" another kiss. "I told you I would be waiting for you." She loved the taste of him, the feel of his body against her own small one.

His hand gently cupped her face her face as his thumb stroked her cheek, ebony eyes locked with her own. She wanted time to stop at that very moment, she wanted for him to always see her the way he saw her now. Who would have thought that the once cold and stoic boy would look at her as if she were the most important thing in his life?

He kissed her once more, softly and surly he traced her bottom lip with his tongue asking for entrance. She parted her lips welcomingly as one hand traced the line of her back, pulling her closer. Sakura moaned softly as he tasted her, begging her to respond.

A sudden knock on the door caused them to separate. Sakura quickly removed herself from the bed panting for breath. How badly she wished she could be alone with him, and not inside this busy hospital.

"Come in." Sasuke said through his calming voice, trying to relax his breaths. Their eyes met and she knew he wished for the same thing she had.

The door swung open and one of the nurses popped her head in, "Sakura-San, you have a visitor." Her eyebrow rose slightly at the seen before her but was quickly dismissed. Was it that obvious they had been kissing? She thought.

"Can you tell them I'm busy at the moment?" Sakura asked before she moved to sit upon the chair beside the bed.

"Alright, but Sai is going to awfully upset." The nurse said before she excused herself from the room, closing the door behind her.

Her body went stiff at sound of her teammate's name. What was she going to tell him? She thought. She knew Sai never truly liked the idea Sasuke returning. Not after the first rescue attempt nearly three years after he left. Sai had been sent to assassinate Sasuke but didn't because of Naruto's words to him. He became the new member, Sasuke's replacement, in team seven. She remembered how he told her he hated being referred to as the new Sasuke. Now that Sasuke was back, what would he do?

"Are you alright? Maybe you shouldn't be moving around yet." Sasuke's concerned voice brought her back from her thoughts.

Looking up to meet his eyes she smiled, "I'm fine, just thinking about something."

'Or someone?" his voice dripping with anger and sadness.

Shock filled her. Did he think she was seeing Sai?" she stood and sat upon the bed once more, placing her hand over his own, thumb gently stroking the flesh in comfort. Her other hand moved to cup his face to look at her. Onyx met jade, "I only think of you with love in my heart." She let there lips meet and for that brief moment she let her worries melt away.
