Chapter 12



The team hadn't slept that night, rather they had just sat around in a circle, not really talking to each other at all. Naruto was brooding over the loss of Sasuke and Sakura and partially blamed Kakashi for the reason why the original team seven wasn't around, but that two of the members were off, who knows where. Yamato and Sai would look at each other before looking at their other two companions. They would then try and start a conversation which was quickly shot down, by a glare by either the blond or silver haired man.

Kakashi really wasn't paying attention to anything. His mind was still on what he had seen on Sakura's back. Her frame had been thin, thinner than it should have been and then there were the marks. He was livid once he recognized the marks of a whip that was taken to her tender flesh. It was a good thing she was a medic or she would still have the red welts still marring her back instead of pieces of whitened flesh. And then the brand.

The thought of course set him off, but not as much as what the brand was. The Akatsuki's insufferable cloud that marked their cloaks. He was glad though that it was an older wound and was probably first inflicted on her when she had first arrived, that only being about three weeks previous. It was hard to believe that it had been three weeks since Sakura had first disappeared and they thought she was back again, and then immediately gone.

The Uchiha was another subject that kept pushing its way into Kakashi's mind. He was at the least dumbfounded when the young Uchiha had walked through the night and the dark forest to appear before them. He knew Naruto was thrilled, but he was still surprised that the youngest Uchiha was alive. But now it just raised more questions than answers at this point. He was sure it couldn't have been Sasuke who had dropped that note, because if he had, what purpose would he have in actually rescuing Sakura? So who could this other Uchiha be? Or was it even an Uchiha?

Kakashi shook his silver head and let his head fall into his awaiting hands. Right now he just wasn't sure of what was really going on. But he knew that tomorrow they would have to head back to Konoha, report their findings to Tsunade and then head back out to find out where the Uchiha was going with Skaura. He was positive that Tsunade wouldn't be happy to find out that he beloved apprentice had switched hands from the Akatsuki to a rogue ninja that used to dwell in the village. He really wasn't looking forward to telling her that.

But where would they have gone? Sasuke was most likely a wanted shinobi and now he would start to be tracked by Konoha Nin, just to get the pink haired girl back. But it brought back the same question of where would they go. Kakashi was certain that Sasuke wouldn't head towards Cloud, he had just been there, on a mission, to assassinate a man, no less.

Getting up from his sitting position, he felt the eyes of the others on him as he walked away from the small camp site. Walking a few yards into the forest he bit his finger and summoned the small brown pug again. The small dog gave off a yawn at being called so late at night, or rather early in the morning. Finishing the yawn, he turned his eyes to his master and awaited the orders, already seeing that the man was already distressed as it was.

"Paakun." the dog huffed. "Track Sakura."

"Isn't she with Akatsuki?" The pug asked back, cocking its head in confusion.

"Not any more." Kakashi rubbed the back of his neck. "She's now with Uchiha Sasuke." the pug widened an eye.

"Uchiha Sasuke, eh?" the pug murmured to himself. "I'll see what I can do."

"Thanks, report back in the morning." Kakashi said, waving the small dog off.

Kakashi didn't return immediately to his seat around the small circle rather he kept a distance and watched the group. He could clearly tell how hurt Naruto was. His friends had come and gone, though one was unconscious through the little talk, but Naruto was still overwhelmed. Kakashi could feel the sorrow that seemed to permeate from the boy, and Kakashi could understand. He could see the genin team he was on in the past. The three of them reminded him sometimes of the three genins he had taught, and that were now grown up.

Sighing, he knew he had to apologize to Naruto for acting rash. It was a stupid move to assault Sasuke and demand to know what had happened. He had violated that trust that Sasuke had put in him to even approach the girl, and within just mere minutes he had turned the tables and acted violent against him. He was sure that Sasuke knew what had happened to Sakura, and what might have been in store for her if she had stayed. But it didn't explain Sasuke's actions fully. If he didn't care, he would have dumped Sakura and then would have been gone, but instead, he was protecting her, being defensive towards them, and frankly it was a little weird for him to display such emotions.

Hearing shuffling back at the camp site, he turned his head to see what was going on noting only that both Sai and Naruto were bedding down for the night. It was probably a good thing, at least for Naruto. It would allow him to cool down and think things through and in the morning when it was light, they would talk, and then head back towards Konoha.


He was angry at the fact that his blood was still bubbling from his encounter with Sakura, if he could call it that. He hadn't even known she would do something as reach up and brush her soft lips against his, and once she did, he could immediately feel blood rush down to his nether regions and an impulse take over him, and that never happened. He was glad that he had been able to get some of that out of his system as he had roughly and possessively kissed her.

He wasn't at all disappointed and the kiss had satiated whatever he had started to feel for the girl, who was now walking several paces in front of him. They were just walking right now, letting Sakura get used to using and stretching her leg muscles, and luckily for him she hadn't had another little spill or he didn't know if he would or could control himself next time, and that frustrated him.

She was a silly little pink haired kunoichi, that had learned medical ninjutsu in his absence. She shouldn't be making him have physical desires towards her, though with the way she was walking at the moment, she was making it a little difficult with the way her hips were swaying and her derriere waving around for his eyes to see. He wanted to smack himself for thinking such thoughts, but he knew at the same time the physical wants were completely natural, just not with a former teammate.

Going another few minutes, he finally noticed that Sakura had slowed her pace considerably and her direction started to head towards a tree, where once reaching it she turned so her back was against the trunk and leaned against it, letting out a deep sigh, letting her head fall. He could tell just by looking at her she was malnourished and dehydrated, and that the water he had would not be sufficient enough to get her back up to par. She would need other liquids to help with that as well.

After watching her lean against the tree, he too made his way towards her. Getting closer to her, he could see that she was breathing heavily, and that a fine sheet of sweat was over her skin. Her eyes were closed and he could see a look of concentration on her face, and he was sure it wasn't because she was trying to figure something out.

Knowing that they were within about six hours of Konoha by tree and almost ten by foot, he walked the rest of the way over to her, and when he had gotten close enough, one of her eyes opened and then once she registered who it was, opened both of the orbs to take him him. He could visibly see her body stiffen at his closeness.

Ever since their kiss that morning, they had kept a distance away from each other, letting each other feel comfortable around the other, without invading into the others personal space. This was the first time since the kiss that they had been this close to each other, and Sakura could feel the tension between them. It was a tension of uncertainty and if she had to admit it there was even sexual tension between them and she was sure that with Uchiha Sasuke there would never be any sexual tension.

"Sasuke." she breathed out and cursed herself for making it sound maybe just a little needy.

"We're almost to Konoha." He stated and she nodded, he was seemingly unaffected by the way she had said his name. "We can get there by night.......... if I carry you."

At the words 'carry you' Sakura was sure she had stopped breathing. Oh hell. She couldn't stand being five feet away from him right now, what would happen if they were, right next to each other? And not just right next to each other, holding onto each other. She was sure her heart rate had gone off the charts and just by looking at him, she was sure he was most likely feeling the exact same way. Sakura wasn't exactly sure what she was going to say and for a moment she was sure she had gaped like a fish, but now she was just staring at him. They continued to look at each other, neither sure of what to say next.

Sasuke hated to admit it, but when he had uttered the words, that he would carry her to make better time, he felt the atmosphere change from an unpleasant feeling to.......sexual tension. It was quite weird as how the atmosphere changed to that, but he guessed it had to do with that morning. Sending a look to her, he could tell she was contemplating the offer, and even from his little distance, he could sense that her heart rate was probably going way too fast, and the fact that she was just gaping at him and not doing anything.

"Well?" he asked not wanting to wait any more for her answer, and to this her eyebrows quirked in disbelief, and a part of him knew that she was about to go on a tangent about something. It was how she was.

"Well? That's all you can say. What you are suggesting would mean touching you." he thought that word had come out almost with disdain, but he let her continue. "Did you forget this morning? I mean we only made out passionately." she half expected him to shrug his shoulders or say 'hn', but he didn't. "I mean don't you feel it?"

"What?" it was probably the wrong choice of a word but oh well.

"What? Are you serious. You can't feel the tension that is between us right now?" she looked startled at him.

How could she feel it and he couldn't? Oh that's right, he was an Uchiha, and he apparently doesn't feel the sexual tension that was permeating the area between and around them. And what bothered her the most was that Sasuke was seemingly disregarding the tension that was clearly around them. It bothered her but also made her angry, was this morning just a fling kiss, or just a hint of lust that maybe each other had for the other.

"What about this morning?" she asked him, keeping eye contact with the Uchiha. "What was this morning about?" it was his turn to quirk his eyebrows in confusion.

What was that morning, he really didn't even want to think about. It was a subject he kind of wanted to stay away from. Sure, he wouldn't deny that it hadn't felt good to do that, but at the same time it was a little awkward seeing as how they were teammates. But wasn't it purely for just a satisfaction for them. It made some of his wanton energy be released and she could now say she had kissed the Uchiha Sasuke. Wasn't that all that this morning was.

"What was it?" He questioned back wanting to know how she had viewed the morning's events. She gaped at him and inside she was boiling. It meant nothing to him! Her own viridian orbs narrowed as she pushed herself off the trunk of the tree. "You little prick." she seethed at him. " I won't be used for your own little libido, whenever you need to let go of some energy." she was pointing at him now.

"You enjoyed it though." He smirked back at her.

Her eye twitched. So what if she had enjoyed it. Now she could say that she had kissed Uchiha Sasuke and that he was an amazing kisser. Now she had all rights to brag to the pig about kissing Sasuke. But at the same time that might now be the smartest move either. Sasuke was a missing nin of Konoha. She might lose some of her credibility if she were to spout off that she had kissed him.

"So?" she retorted, and within a second she was pinned up against the trunk of the again, arms pinned to her sides and her body being pressed into by the one and only Uchiha Sasuke.

"You want more." he let out with huskiness in his voice. "Don't you." he whispered, his breath falling against her ear and neck, causing a shudder to rack through her body.

"So....what if I do?" she asked tilting her head back slightly, trying to get a better look at him, and without warning he ground his hips into her, making her let out a small moan. Her hands itched to grab onto his clothes and pull him closer, but her hands unfortunately were trapped by said mans own body.

"What do you want?" he breathed again, causing goosebumps to appear on her skin.

He had to suppress the smirk that was threatening to make its way onto his face. It was so very easy to get her turned on. He was fully coherent of what he was doing and he was sure that she was already partially drugged up just by him. Her clear thinking was gone and instead was replaced by the wanton need that she had for him at that very moment. It amused him greatly to no end. After all these years she was still putty in his hands. Releasing her arms, he wanted to see how she would react and immediately when she felt the loosened grip her hands fisted themselves into his shirt, tugging him closer than he already was.

"Kiss me." she whispered hoarsely.

"Why?" he mocked her, watching as she tried to stretch her neck forward to place her lips near or onto his.

"just do it." she whispered harshly and without really thinking about it he did.

His lips slanted over hers and roughly nipped at her lips bruising them as well as making her open her mouth, so he could dominate the kiss. Theirs tongue fought with each other as Sakura's hands gripped onto the Uchiha's hakama with her hands, while his had become fisted into her hair.

He wasn't sure as to why he was exactly kissing her again, but all he knew was that it felt good too, better than any woman he had ever been with. There was just something about her, but right now he didn't really care about that, only to feel her a little bit more.

She didn't know why she has to kiss him, to feel his mouth on hers, but she just had to. None of the other men she had dated or tried to do it with, were nowhere near the level that Sasuke was at, or had taken to her. Just a brush of his breath over her neck made her hot, and in need for him. It was total loss of control and for a moment it frightened her, that she was slowly losing herself to a man that had once been her crush, but was now a possible enemy to her and her village, but right now those thoughts were far gone.

Without having his usual rational mind, he moved his entangled hands out of the pink locks and down her sides towards her thighs, and without warning her she suddenly felt him lift her up farther against the trunk of the tree, forcing her legs to wrap around his waist, and her hands moved from his shirt to grip his face. For a moment her mind went on alert. What was exactly going on here? One second they were just standing making out against a tree and now he is holding her against the tree making out with her.

She wouldn't deny that this didn't feel good, because it was, but they needed to stop and though she may have been a little reluctant about stopping while they were just kissing, when she felt one of his hands make its way towards her bottom, and grasp it firmly, she knew that they had to stop. Tearing her mouth from his, she could hear her own laborious breathing, and she could feel his lips move across her jaw and then onto her neck.

"Sa...Sasuke." she breathed out with a little difficulty, and all he did was hn, her guessing that he didn't really want to stop. "we....need to ...stop." she had to cut off a moan, that he was trying to evoke from her.

He stopped whatever he was doing when she told him that they needed to stop and raised his head to look at her, and raised an eyebrow. She could hardly blame him, she had been the one that had demanded that he kiss her. Unwrapping her legs from around his waist, was her silent notification that she wanted down, and willingly he obliged, moving his body away from hers just enough to let her feet plant themselves on the ground.

"We should start heading back to Konoha again." she said removing her hands from his face and replacing them on his chest, giving a little push backwards to let him know that he needed to step back a little.

By this time Sasuke was definitely confused but he didn't show it. The only reason she had probably wanted to stop was because somewhere he had crossed her borders of decency or something of the like. But what? She had been fine until he had moved his hand towards her...... Sasuke realized that was what had probably set her off. But it only made him wonder if Madara had touched her while he had been away. He was sure Madara hadn't raped her, or else she wouldn't be that willing to make out with him so fully. But maybe the older Uchiha had touched her, inappropriately to make her more sensitive than just kissing.

He nodded and stepped farther away from her, letting her have the space she needed, but both could again feel the sexual tension start to fill the space again. Sakura had to curse in her mind when she felt the tension. It was the tension in the first place that had led them to make out against a tree.

"You're right." Sasuke stated looking at her while she straightened and then played with her shirt. "We can get there by nightfall if you let me carry you." Sasuke shifted his weight lightly, and she looked up at him, and nodded slowly.


The team had run across Pakkun mid-morning. The pug had been waiting on a tree branch where the team would be coming across. The team of four gathered around the small brown dog as he relayed his findings to the team. Apparently Sasuke and Sakura had been near a stream before heading farther into the Fire Country.

The pug conveniently left out that one area of the ground had been strongly covered with their smells combined, but already feeling the tension between the team he had left it out, not wanting to cause more of a scene and more anger than what was already coursing through the team, than there already was. Pausing the pug let them know that they seemed to maybe traveling in the direction of Konoha, but couldn't be sure.

The team was now near the Fire Border but they would be a good half a day or more behind the Uchiha, if the Uchiha and Sakura were already deep within the Fire Country. Kakashi could guess that Sasuke was most likely heading back towards Konoha for Sakura's sake, if the Uchiha had a conscience, but if he was going to deliver Sakura to Konoha, he would let her go somewhere near the village. They wouldn't know really anything until they arrived in Konoha to see if Sasuke was really there or not.

Thanking the small pug and promising a reward later the dog disappeared in a small puff of smoke, while the team continued to look at the area that pug had occupied while talking to them. They were already headed back to Konoha, but now they really had an incentive to get to the village as soon as humanly possible.


The clock on the light tan colored was read quarter past ten at night. The moon was out, but not full. Eyes looked out over the slumbering village. The bars would be alive at this time, and a part of her wished she could be at one too, but looking over her should at the desk, the paperwork was calling to her, and also the threats that her assistant gave her as well, were in the air.

Turning away from the village picture, she scooted the chair clear up to the desk's edge and took the pen in her hand to start signing the 'need signing' pile of papers and scrolls that had accumulated over the past few days. She didn't really feel like doing this, but as part of the role of Hokage, she had too. It drove her insane sometimes and she was glad that she had her bottle of sake, and sometimes hidden bottle of sake to help her keep her sanity, not her soberness.

About to lean down to start into the pile of papers and scrolls, her body stopped moving and opening her senses, she could tell she wasn't alone in the semi-lit room. Dark shadows covered most of the room, and she was sure that hiding in those shadows was someone or something. Setting down her pen and moving the chair back slightly, she placed the palms of her hands on the edge of the desk, getting ready for anything to happen.

"I know you are there." she spoke loudly and clearly. "Come out." watching the shadows her eyes finally caught something stir against one of the walls and slowly a body started to form and then another behind the first.

Squinting her eyes to see better, she began to make out the person clearly and all she could do when she recognized the person was silently stare at the man that hadn't stepped foot in the village for years. Looking past his shoulder, her gaze caught sight of the other person and the air that she had been holding for the person she had recognized whooshed out of her as she recognized the second person.

"Well, I never." she murmured. "What brings you here with my apprentice Uchiha?"
