Summary: Sakura swore off all men, and ultimately, love. Making it a rule, but all rules have exceptions. Sakura, who doesn't believe in such an exception, obviously hasn't met a certain Uchiha Sasuke.
Disclaimer: I really wished I did own Naruto...but alas. Never...

''Hn.'' his voice sounded muffled, he was either in the bathroom or...my closet! I jumped up and ran into my closet...and there he was...holding up my...red halterneck babydoll dress thing...the one I got at Victoria's Secret.
I rushed to him and made a grab for it but he used his height and held it out of my reach.
''Give it back!''
He ignored me. ''Why did you buy this Sakura?''
I gulped. What would I say? Well...I was feeling daring today so...
''Why do you think, Sasuke-kun?'' I looked up at him innocently. Oh God, I cannot believe I just did that!
He blinked and then smirked.
''I want you to tell me.'' he said, towering over me and blocking me between him and the wall.
Ok, I can do this...
''Well...maybe I bought it just-for-you...maybe I didnt.'' I shrugged nonchalantly.
He leaned down until we were face to face and looked at me with such intensity that my knees actually bucked a little.
''Put it on.'' he ordered.
''W-What?''
He smirked. ''Put it on. I'll be waiting.'' and then he just walked out!
The Only Exception
Chapter 13 - Promise This
Twisted,
You've shaken my existence,
When im with you baby, bliss is
All I've come to know
I walked off, hearing Sakura's door shut. Deidara had disappeared. Fucking pussy. I went back down to the club. Itachi would tell me where that fucker went. He needed to learn to leave Sakura the hell alone.
I looked around. I couldn't spot Itachi through the crowd, which had doubled since I had left.
''Teme! What happened?'' Naruto asked as he came up to me, Hinata behind him.
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.
''Naruto. Lets talk.''
He frowned and reluctantly told Hinata to go.
''What Teme?''
One word set him off. ''Deidara.''
His eyes widened, and then narrowed.
''What happened? Where's Sakura-chan?''
''After you told me where she went...I followed, when I came to the floor. I heard her voice outside the elevator. She was telling him to let her go, and you know what he said? He asked her to tell him she wanted him!'' anger fueled me.
''What?'' Naruto said, quietly. His face twisted in anger.
''I was frozen, until I saw him try to touch her.''
''You hit the fucker.'' Naruto said, nodding.
''Not hard enough.''
Naruto grinned. ''Let's go get him.''
I smirked. ''Lets find Itachi; I need to find Deidara's room.''
Naruto led me to my brother. He must have noticed my expression. ''Sasuke,'' he said using my name, ''what happened?''
''You could say that fucker tried to force himself on Sakura.'' I said having a hard time keeping my voice steady.
Itachi's eyes widened. ''He never said anything about that. He mentioned scaring her, but I thought that was this morning.'' he mused.
''Itachi!'' I snapped. ''His room?''
''212.'' he answered simply.
I turned around without another word and walked to the elevator, Naruto behind me. The elevator went up into the lobby and when the doors opened I felt like laughing. There he was. Deidara. Flirting with some girl. He looked up and saw me, leaned down and kissed the girl then began casually walking...toward the main doors.
''He's gonna bolt!'' Naruto screamed, and not a second passed before we took off.
Deidara was running. It was pissing rain outside but he didnt stop. Neither did we, and to our luck. He fucking tripped. Naruto laughed as we stood around him, he tried to get up.
I kicked him in the gut. He groaned and fell back down. I was already soaking wet.
''I wanna hit him first.'' Naruto commented, determined.
''Why? I want to.'' I shot back.
''You already got him before.''
''Aa, I suppose you're right.''
I lifted Deidara up and held him for Naruto, but he shot his elbow back into my stomach hard. Making me stumble back and then he went for Naruto who dodged and punched him in the jaw. Deidara fell back and I let him fall before grabbing him up again. Naruto went for him again making sure to get a few good punches in. Deidara tried to escape but we caught him again. Naruto and I switched positions. Deidara hung weakly, but not fatally. ''Im only gonna say this once. Stay the fuck away from Sakura or this,'' I said punching him again, ''will be much worse next time.'' I punched him again for good measure and Naruto let him go. We began to walk away, but his voice stopped me. ''You know Uchiha; you've made a big mistake today...and for what? A fade-to-the-background bookworm slut?'' He grabbed my shoulder and turned me around so quickly I almost didnt see it, and then he punched me in the gut. I groaned and stumbled back, and then quickly regained my composure.
''You fuck!'' I ran up to him and pulled my punch back and then at him, he dodged, like I knew he would and then my other fist made contact with his nose, that was already bleeding, probably broken now.
''Dont you fucking talk about Sakura! Dont say a word! You,'' I said grabbing his collar, ''Never fucking deserved that girl. You fucking useless fag.'' I shoved him against the wall hard. ''Stay the fuck away from her, or I'll make you.'' I threw him on the ground then and turned around walking back into the hotel.
''You...you love her?'' Naruto asked, amazed.
I didnt answer him as we entered the elevator. He got out at his floor and I went up to mine.
I did feel guilty leaving her, but Deidara couldn't just be left alone.
I sighed as I entered my room. It was quiet. She was probably sleeping. I entered the bathroom. The door to her room was open, her bed empty. I turned around. She was sitting on the floor. She was crying.
''Sakura?''
She didnt answer. I gave a sigh.
''What are you doing?''
I stepped to her and pulled her up gently.
''S-Sasuke...''
I reached up and wiped away her tears.
She fell into me then, not minding that I was wet, and she cried.
SxS
She stopped crying and looked up at me; I took her hand and led her to my room, letting her sit on my bed. She watched me, her eyes trailing over my body as I stripped off my wet clothes. I got dressed in fresh boxers and then approached her. I pulled off her shirt telling her that hers got wet and dressing her in my shirt. God, she looked sexy in my clothes.
''Sasuke...''
I looked down at her.
''Thank you.''
Silly girl...
I nodded.
''I really mean it.'' she stood up. Our bodies were now touching.
''Aa. I know.''
She pulled my face down and kissed me, I reacted immediately. Kissing back. She pulled me down on to the bed.
I didnt wanna push things after what happened...
''Sakura...I...We...Are you...?''
She looked at me. ''Sasuke...I just...need you...''
I searched her eyes...she nodded and so I kissed her again.
Sakura POV
I didnt run into Deidara again. Itachi came to say goodbye as we left the hotel. Naruto and Sasuke were on either side of me, protecting me like I was some top military secret. Anyway, everything at the airport went without a hitch and we were now on the plane back to Konoha. Sasuke packed ALL of my things in my bag...which was NOT a carry-on bag! No, it was with the rest of the luggage with everyone else's shit. I was bored out of my effing mind! Everyone was sleeping because they stayed at Mangekyo till the sun was up. Sasuke was awake too. Fuck him for packing my stuff away. I kicked his chair. No response. Again. His hand flew up as if trying wave me off. If it were only that easy. I kicked again. This time he turned around, looking over his head rest at me.
He took out one earphone. ''What?'' he hissed with narrowed eyes.
''Revenge.'' I whispered.
He lifted a brow.
''You. Packed all my stuff away and now Im bored.''
He rolled his eyes. ''Not my fault.''
Just as he was about to turn again, I kicked his chair.
''Fuck!'' he threw his earphones out and stomped off. Now, I could either grab his iPod...or follow.
Following seemed more fun.
All the bathroom doors were open except one. I knocked twice.
''Sasuke?''
''What?'' he snapped.
I opened the door and stepped into the small space next to him.
''Are you angry?'' I whispered with an innocent pout.
His eyes narrowed. ''You planned this.''
''HUH?''
''Getting me in a small space...I have to admit. It's a good plan.''
''I didnt-'' but I was cut off by his lips smashing on to mine, which made me fall back against the door. He held me there with his body, kissing me. His hands were already unbuttoning my shirt and pushing it off my shoulders. He was planning on doing it...right here! I mentally shrieked! We could get caught...
''Sasuke...'' I mumbled against his lips.
My hands moved on their own, taking off his shirt as Inner Sakura took over.
'What are you doing?' I seethed.
'What you should be doing.' she replied simply.
'b-but we're on a plane!'
'You trust Sasuke, dont you?'
'Well yeah...but-'
'No buts. Go with it.'
''Sakura?'' he was giving me a strange look.
''What?''
''What's this?'' he asked, caressing over my bra. It was a balconet bra. It was white, with small cherry blossoms and black lace over the top.
I was sitting on the small cabinet now; Sasuke was standing between my legs.
''A bra?'' I gulped, yeah; I bought it at Victoria's Secret.
He chuckled. ''Hn. Where'd you get it, Sa-ku-ra?''
I shivered against him. ''In Suna...at...you know.''
''Fuck...'' he breathed into my neck and then laid his head down on my chest. ''You are so fucking sexy.'' he whispered into my breasts.
I felt my cheeks heat up.
''Sasuke?''
''What the hell are you doing to me?'' he sighed, still not moving away.
Suddenly the plane shook, making Sasuke fall back and me fall forward on top of him.
''Please stay calm, we are experiencing mild turbulence, it should be over shortly.'' the captain said and the plane shook again.
Sasuke groaned.
''What?''
His hand went to the back of his head.
''Are you ok?'' I reached my hand back over his and he looked at me.
''Hn."
His eyes trailed over my bra again. The plane shook again, harder this time and I held on to him.
''You have a thing for these, dont you?'' I asked, trailing my hands over it.
Sasuke's eyes stayed fixed on what I was doing.
I leaned in and whispered into his ear. ''Im even wearing the matching panties.''
He growled.
''You like that?''
''Aa.''
''Oh Sasuke-kun...'' I purred, and a dark, low growl rumbled out of his chest.
''Well if you like it that much, I'll let you do me while im wearing it...''
''Dammit Sakura!'' He turned us around and pushed me into the wall where he had been. There was another shock and he fell into me.
"We have passed the area, thank you for your cooperation." the captain said over the speaker.
I left a slow lingering kiss on his lips before pushing him away and putting my shirt on.
I put my hand on his chest and dragged it down slowly.
''It'll be so much better if you wait for it.'' and with that said I left. It was hard keeping my giggles in. His face was priceless.
I went back to my seat and took Naruto's iPod; he was asleep and obviously not using it. The first song was G-Get Up and Dance by Faber Drive.
Sasuke stomped to his seat, looking annoyed.
Ok, so maybe that was a little mean but still, it will be better if the anticipation builds...that's what I read in Cleo Magazine anyway.
Then it hit me...Sasuke's just that kind of guy. He would want revenge. Oh crap.
I leaned forward and slid my hands up and down his arms. He took out an earphone and gave me a look. ''Ne, Sasuke...uh, how ya doing?'' Inner died of mortification.
'You stupid idiot!' she hissed.
'I panicked ok?'
'NO NOT OK.'
Sasuke looked at me. ''Hn.''
''So...are you coming over when we land?''
He thought for a moment, and then smirked. ''No, I have something better planned.''
Oh fuck.
''Like what?'' I had to ask.
''If I told you it'll be less fun. For me, that is.''
''Ah...o-ok.'' I leaned back...oh hell.
SxS
When I got home it was 4pm on Sunday. I took a long bubble bath, relaxing while I drank some of Tsunade's sake.
When I got out I pulled on some jeans and a long sleeved shirt, leaving my hair to air dry.
I stepped out of room. Sound of the TV came from the TV room. Was Tsunade home...no...?
I sneaked forward. Poking my head around the corner. Empty. I sighed in relief.
''Hey Sakura-chan!''
''Aah!'' I screamed jumping and falling back.
''Fuck! Naruto! Fuck, fuck, fuck!''
''What? What did I do?''
He stood there holding cup ramen and being as oblivious as ever.
''Baka!'' I said and got up. ''What you doing here?''
''I wanted to hang out, come on, and let's play DBZ or Avatar.''
I sighed and followed him.
''Ok so, Avatar?''
''Mmhm.'' he said, eating his ramen.
I put it in and handed him a controller.
''You are Momo!'' he said.
Wtf Momo?
''Fine, then you be Iroh.''
''Whaaat?''
I clicked Momo. He grumbled and clicked on Uncle Iroh.
The game started and I threw random fruits at him repeatedly and he tried to shoot lighting at me. The keyword there being 'tried'.
''Aha! A special card.'' he said and rushed to get it.
He used it immediately.
''NOOO Sakura-chan! You can't run away like that.''
And that's when I beat him.
''Let's rather play DBZ.''
I laughed, ''Tired of losing?'' he huffed and I changed the disc.
''OK...You be Captain Ginyu.''
''What? No way, Naruto.''
''Then Yamcha.''
''No. We'll just put it on random.''
''Can I choose the arena?'' he asked.
''Fine.''
He chose the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
I got Trunks with sword...he got...I burst out laughing...Tien!
Naruto glared.
''Fine, I'll give you 10 seconds to attack.''
''No, I can beat you!''
I shrugged and attacked and won.
We watched TV after that.
"Oh my God! All My Circuits is on!" I said. It's a soap opera, about robots!
"All My what?"
"Shhh!"
Monique and Calculon were sitting under an arch in a romantic setting.
"I've been processing this for some time, Monique and...Well, will you marry me?"
"Eeep!" that was me...not Naruto.
"Oh, Calculon!" she hugged him. He took out her golden...ring...and screwed it on her. (Not screwed...but literally)
"It fits! Then you must know that I'm..."
"Metric? I've always know...but for you my darling...I'm willing to convert."
They, uh, kissed. Creepy music played and some robot hiding in the bushes was shown.
"Hm, must be a friend of theirs," Naruto mused, completely captivated in the show.
''I can't believe im actually friends with you two.''
I turned to the voice. ''Sasuke!''
I really tried to ignore the way he was looking at me.
''Teme, this show is awesome!''
''Yeah it is!'' Naruto high 5-ed me.
''Come sit!'' I waved Sasuke over.
I was now sitting between them.
Sasuke's thigh brushed against mine and stayed there.
Dammit...did he not get what he made me feel?
Ok, normally I wouldn't have felt this way...but what happened on the plane...I was nervous.
"Why is there a human there?" Naruto asked.
"Well...it can't be ALL robots."
The human dude laughed and the door slid open to reveal Calculon.
"Calculon? I thought you were in a coma!"
"That's what I wanted you to think with your soft, human brain." Calculon said, approaching him.
"Fuck, I can't take it anymore!" Sasuke groaned and I laughed.
"I know you only wanted me out of the way." Calculon continued.
''I'll...be right back. Do you guys want anything?''
Naruto asked for ramen and Sasuke asked for a coke as he grabbed the remote and Naruto began to wrestle him for it.
I nodded and went to the phone first, calling Tsunade.
She answered on the third ring.
''Hello?''
''Hey Tsunade, how's work?''
She sighed. ''Busy, remember you are starting your internship next week.''
''I won't forget! So...what time you getting home?''
''Around 9. Why?''
''Just wanted to know when to start dinner. Naruto might join us, meaning Jiraiya will be here too.''
''No problem.''
''Ok, see you then.''
''See you.''
We hung up. I put Naruto's ramen in the microwave and got Sasuke's coke out.
I remembered not putting new underwear on! Damn! Ok, Naruto's ramen would take at least 9 more minutes. I tip toed past the TV room and to my room. I ran to the closet. Ok...which one...which one...I chose a white plunge bra. It was covered with black lace and had a bow in the middle. The panties were black at the sides but the front and back was white with the same black lace over. I pulled my clothes back on and stepped out of the closet and opened my door to...Sasuke?
''S-Sasuke?''
He lifted an eyebrow at my obvious nervousness.
''What were you doing, Sakura?''
''Nothing!'' I answered too quickly and shoved at his chest slightly.
''Go. I'll be back with your drink.'' I said, rushing past him and to the kitchen.
I grabbed the ramen and the coke and went to the TV room.
''You pervert!''
I froze in the door. Was he talking to Sasuke?
''Are you serious? That's sick!''
No. On the phone. ''Yeah! I'll be right there!''
I handed him his ramen and Sasuke his drink. No, no, no! Naruto can't be leaving!
''Sakura-chan! I'll be back later! Ero-sannin wants to show me something, we'll be back for dinner.'' and then he and his ramen were out the door and I was alone with Sasuke.
I focused on the TV. Sonny with a Chance was on.
''To how it all ends!'' she said, ''To how long its gonna be before you ask the girl you're destined to be with!''
''Im...not sure I can answer that...?'' Chad said, ha-ha, funny.
''Well, aren't you in charge of your own destiny?''
''I...guess?''
''Then its time to say enough! I mean when two people are this right for each other...there's only one thing to do!''
''How long have you felt this way?''
''Just since yesterday...It hasn't been long but it hit me like a ton of bricks.''
''I mean...I guess I feel the same way...'' I couldn't help but smile, Chad could be sweet, though she wasn't talking about him, she was talking about Mackenzie.
''Then do something about it!''
''Ok, I will. Sonny will you go out with me.''
And then it was cut off by Sasuke kissing me.
I literally couldn't breathe.
''Sakura? Breathe.''
I took a breath and smiled at him.
''What are you doing?''
''Kissing you.''
I frowned. ''I can't think when you kiss me like...that.''
He smirked. ''Want me to do it again?''
''Of course.''
And he did. Things between us were so normal, yet so...not normal, and right now when he held me like this...I've never felt so many things at once and I never wanted him to let go.
We kissed for what seemed like only a moment but in reality it was...well, im not sure but Sasuke pulled away and glared at the TV.
''I can't focus with that!''
Hannah Montana was on and I burst out laughing at his expression.
''Come on baka.'' I took his hand and led him to my room.
He said nothing as I fell back on the bed and threw my arm over my eyes.
It was quiet after that. Too quiet.
I didnt lift my arm. ''Sasuke...?''
''Hn.'' his voice sounded muffled, he was either in the bathroom or...my closet! I jumped up and ran into my closet...and there he was...holding up my...red halterneck babydoll dress thing...the one I got at Victoria's Secret.
I rushed to him and made a grab for it but he used his height and held it out of my reach.
''Give it back!''
He ignored me. ''Why did you buy this Sakura?''
I gulped. What would I say? Well...I was feeling daring today so...
''Why do you think, Sasuke-kun?'' I looked up at him innocently. Oh God, I cannot believe I just did that!
He blinked and then smirked.
''I want you to tell me.'' he said, towering over me and blocking me between him and the wall.
Ok, I can do this...
''Well...maybe I bought it just-for-you...maybe I didnt.'' I shrugged nonchalantly.
He leaned down until we were face to face and looked at me with such intensity that my knees actually bucked a little.
''Put it on.'' he ordered.
''W-What?''
He smirked. ''Put it on. I'll be waiting.'' and then he just walked out!
I tried to get my heartbeat under control, but whole body was trembling. I want him so fucking much.
My hands shook as I pulled off my shirt, pants and bra and then I pulled the babydoll on. I shook my hair, making it look wilder and then I peeked out. Sasuke was lying on my bed.
''Sasuke-kun?'' he sat up as I walked in, his eyes trailing over my body like a starving predator. His hands fisted my bedding. I put my hands on his shoulders and sat down, straddling his lap.
I took his hands and put them around my neck and then I dragged them down my naked chest then over my breasts where the red material started, he stiffened and closed his eyes, breathing deeply.
As I dragged his hands down my breasts he made his thumbs nail flick over my hard nipple and I bit down on my lip. His hands, under mine, grabbed at my breasts and pushed them up, squeezing and running his thumbs over my nipples. He groaned, and I felt his hard-on press into my thighs and I unconsciously pressed myself into it. Sasuke drew in a sharp breath through his nose.
''Sakura.'' he groaned it out. He squeezed my breasts one more time and then I trailed his hands lower, over my stomach, he dragged his nails over the material. When he got to the hem I let go of his hands and he rubbed them up and down my thighs before going under and caressing over my panties. He started at the front; it sent lightning down to my core and set me on fire. He went around my sides and then behind where both his hands grabbed my ass and squeezed. I gasped as he lifted me. My knees on the very edge of the bed and his hands were the only things supporting me. I looked down and Sasuke's dark eyes met mine. He looked at me for the longest time before he lowered his head to my breasts that were basically in his face. He leaned into them and inhaled, before turning his face to the left where the exposed part of my breast was and then he...bit into it! I gasped and my head fell back and a mewling sound escaped my lips. He sucked where he had bitten and I knew it was gonna leave a mark. I was still enjoying the sensations when he threw me onto the bed and pulled my panties down with ninja-like speed.
''S-Sasuke...-kun?''
''Spread your legs.'' he commanded.
''What!''
He groaned. ''Just do it.''
''Why?''
He crawled to me until our cheeks were touching.
''I want to taste you.'' he admitted into my ear. I felt my hands claw at the sheets and my eyes rolled back at the visual.
His heat left me again.
''Spread them.'' he commanded and I obeyed still in a daze.
He kissed the insides of my thighs wetly and my body trembled more in anticipation. No one...had ever touched me like he was about to.
He kissed my lower lips. ''Tell me you want me to do this.'' He commanded again and I moaned.
He pressed his lips to my lower ones again and nibbled on them. ''Say it.'' he said after pulling away.
My shaking hands couldn't find a place to grip hard enough.
''I...''
He kissed them again and I felt his tongue push past the lips...like he had kissed my lips not too long ago on the couch. My back arched and my legs spread wider for him.
''S-Sasuke!'' I gasped.
''Tell me Sakura...'' he commanded again and he licked over my clit.
''Yes!'' I managed out. ''Dont stop!''
He licked circles around my clit and I moaned a string of curses.
''My name, Sa-ku-ra?'' he commanded then.
''Sasuke!''
He smirked. ''No.''
He licked over my core.
''Aah! Sasuke-kun! Sasuke-kun!''
''Good.'' and then his tongue plunged into me. It swirled and licked and plunged in and out. My whole body was on fire and my mind couldnt focus on anything. He sent me over the edge using only his tongue and then he licked my cum...Every drop.
My body felt like jelly. Sasuke came up and kissed me...he tasted like...me, it didnt disgust me...it turned me on to a new degree.
He stood up. ''Sasuke-kun?''
He just smirked and stripped off all of his clothes. God...he was so fucking hard, my eyes trailed up...on his stomach...a bruise?
"Sasuke, what's that?" I sat up and touched it gently.
"Later." he said and pushed me down. I straddled his waist. "Later." I said with a nod.
He groaned. ''Wet again?''
I blushed and leaned down, kissing him again. He lifted my hips and slid me onto his hardness.
I whimpered in pleasure and gripped his shoulders for dear life.
''I know.'' he murmured breathlessly against my lips.
I sat up and Sasuke gripped my hips, pushing me up and the slamming me down. My head fell back and I pushed myself up again and then slid down.
Sasuke groaned loudly and pulled me down. Grabbing my lips with his and kissing my breath away. I rocked my hips down, grinding into him.
''Again.'' he commanded, breathless.
I complied and grinded into him harder.
''Sakura...''
I did it again and again and I could feel my own orgasm building up.
''Faster...'' he panted and I could tell he was close. His hips grinded up into mine and I could practically feel my insides convulsing.
He met me every time I grinded down and it felt amazing.
He throbbed inside of me and I couldnt take it anymore and I fell over the edge, my hips bucked down a few more times on impulse and I felt him fill me.
We lay like that, him holding me to him securely and panting together.
He pulled out of me but kept me on top of him.
I could've fallen asleep like that but I knew I couldnt. I lifted my head to check the time. It was just a bit after 8. I had to start dinner. I looked over at Sasuke. He was asleep. He looked so...sweet. I was thankful that he was in a deep sleep. As I lifted him under the covers and pulled his boxers on him before I tucked him in.
''Sweet dreams.'' I whispered and kissed his forehead, he sighed in contentment.
SxS
After taking a quick shower and locking my bedroom door I made a quick dinner. Pizzas and Ice Cream for dessert. Simple and quick.
''That's impossible!'' came Naruto's loud voice from the elevator. I really didnt want Sasuke to wake up so I rushed to them.
''Keep it down Naruto! Tsunade will be home any minute!''
''Sorry!'' he said in a hushed tone and stepped out of the elevator.
Jiraiya who was behind him gave me a once-over. Why the hell was he giving me that look?
He chuckled and shook his head in an amused way before patting my head and passing me.
I felt a blush creep up my cheeks. Wtf.
''Well, um...wait here and keep it down...Tsunade will be here any minute.''
''Oh?'' Jiraiya said in a rather...suspicious way.
''Did Teme leave?'' Naruto asked casually.
I met Jiraiya's eyes and I knew...he knew. But...how?
''Um...he left a while ago.''
Jiraiya chuckled and pulled out a note pad. ''What are you doing?''
''Oh? Just making notes for my next book.''
Yes. He knew.
''What? You can't do that!''
He just winked and continued writing.
The elevator dinged and Tsunade made her appearance and demanded dinner.
We ate then and I felt embarrassed by Jiraiya's constant innuendo. Not that anyone noticed.
After dinner Tsunade and I had to practically shove them into the elevator to make them leave.
I turned and made my way to my room.
''Sakura?''
I froze. ''Yes?''
''You look...different. How was Suna?''
Crap. Why me? I mentally groaned.
''Oh. It was great. We had lotsa fun.'' I nodded and grinned.
''How is that boy...Sasuke?''
If Jiraiya told her...fuck...I'd kill him!
''He's fine. He came over earlier when Naruto was here and we watched some TV.''
She nodded, and let it go.
''Well, good night.''
''Night.'' She walked up the stairs to her room and I went to mine. Softly unlocking it and entering and then I locked it behind me. Leaving the key in the door.
Sasuke was still asleep in bed.
I quickly changed into an over sized Batman t-shirt and stopped to look at myself in the mirror. Did I look different? I couldnt see it. I sighed and walked into my room and crawled into bed next to him. He reached out and pulled me to him.
''Naruto is one loud fuck.'' he mumbled.
''Sorry...I tried to keep him quiet.''
''Hn.''
''So...you're staying?''
''Aa.''
''Thank you...''
''Hn.''
I buried my face into his chest as he held me to him until sleep took me.
Sasuke POV
I woke up around 5am. I had to go home and get ready for school. Though, I did enjoy sharing the bed with Sakura...we had to do this more often...but I knew I had to leave. I lifted Sakura's arm off of my waist as gently as possible. My arm was under her head. I put my leg on the floor (on the side of my free half) and pulled my other arm out.
Sakura stirred.
''Sasuke...?'' she sat up and blinked in the darkness.
''Hn. Go back to sleep.''
''Where are you going?''
''Home. I have to get ready for school.''
''Oh right...'' she mumbled. ''Let me help you.'' she turned on her bedside lamp and got out of bed. Both of us squinted at the sudden light. Sakura bent down and picked up my clothes.
''Here.'' she handed me my clothes and I put them on quickly while she waited.
''Ne, Sasuke?''
She dropped the -kun when we weren't together...I wasn't sure if it bothered me.
I waited for her to continue.
''Do I look different?'' she asked seriously.
I looked at her. Something was different, though I couldnt put my finger on it.
''Aa.''
''Oh my God. Is it hideous?''
I chuckled. ''No...Its...'' it was like a glow or something. Her eyes were brighter; her lips were plump and red and seemed to be permanently tilted in a small smile.
''Still beautiful. You look...happy, I guess.''
''Happy?'' she smiled a little.
''Ok.'' she stood on her toes and kissed me.
''Take care, Sasuke-kun.''
I lifted her again and gave her another kiss.
''Hn.''

When I arrived at school, Sakura was already there; her car was parker in the usual spot. I walked up to the school and went to my locker.
''Sasuke-kun!''
I had music first period so I needed those books.
''Where were you on Friday...I didnt see you!''
I closed my locker, well slammed, and walked past her.
''Sasuke-kun! You didnt miss any important work cause I took notes for you.'' she held them out to me.
We didnt even have alot of classes together.
I rolled my eyes and still walked past her.
''It's that pink haired bitch, I know it!'' she snapped.
''Pink-haired bitch! Excuse you four-eyes!''
Ino walked up then just as the bell rang. I made my way to homeroom. Annoyed by the amount of stares I got. Dont they ever get bored?
Kakashi wasn't there yet. Naruto and Sakura were deep in conversation as I walked up.
''Let me just hear a few lines.''
''No Sakura-chan! You...can't.''
''Oh come on Naruto! Please! Im your best friend!''
Naruto sighed, and looked for something in his bag. He's such a weakling.
He handed her a piece of paper. Temari looked over her shoulder, but Sakura stepped away from her, and she bumped into me.
Her eyes didnt lift from the paper as she gave my arm a squeeze. Naruto gave me a suspicious look. I just glared at him.
''Naruto this is...wow!''
Naruto grabbed the paper when Kakashi entered. He said his greeting and took attendance.
''Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, Temari and Sakura please come here.''
Temari went first, Sakura behind her.
''Hai, Kakashi-sensei?'' she asked.
''You four weren't here on Friday but we went ahead and gave you parts in the festival play. We've decided on Tristan and Isolde. Here is the cast list,'' he handed the list to Sakura, ''and the scripts are on that desk in the back.''
''What? Me? Isolde?''
''Is there a problem Sakura?''
''Kakashi-sensei...this is the lead female...im not sure I can...''
''Of course you can, you and Sasuke should just practice alot.''
''What?'' she looked down at the page.
''Tristan...'' she said.
She handed me the list.
Uchiha Sasuke - Tristan
Haruno Sakura - Isolde
Uzumaki Naruto - King Marke
Sabaku Temari - Isolde's Handmaiden
Nara Shikamaru - Isolde's Father
The list went on.
This shouldn't be too hard. The festival is only at the end of next term. Im not really into the whole theatre thing, but this was a part of our grade.
The bell rang for first period and Temari handed us our scripts. Sakura grabbed her bag as she flipped through the script. The walk to music was silent as she kept reading.
''Oh fuck!'' she gasped and I looked down at her. She slammed the script closed.
I entered Anko's class behind her. She sat down and took out her notebook. Scribbling something and pushing it to me.
We forgot...again! It said.
I wrote down 'What?'
She replied 'Think...really hard...yesterday...'
What the fuck was she talking about?
I gave her a look.
She sighed and grabbed me closer.
''Fucking condoms!'' she whispered.
Then it hit me. Fuck. We really didnt use any.
''Why not just ask Tsunade to give you some medication?'' I whispered back.
''Oh hell, I dunno. Maybe because she might tell my mom about us, and then my mom would tell your mom?'' she said sarcastically. Fuck, my mom wouldn't leave me alone if she knew...she'd ask things...and yeah- no.
''Right.'' I muttered when Anko entered.
''Morning class. We're at the beginning of a very busy term. So let's get to it. First project will be to write a song with a classmate and perform it next week.'' she then began to pair the class up from a list.
''Sakura and Suigetsu.'' Sakura didnt notice what Anko said and stayed deep in thought, her fingers drumming on the table.
After a few more names she said, ''Sasuke and Ami.'' Sakura's drumming stopped and her fingers twitched slightly. I put my hand on her thigh and squeezed. ''Calm down.''
She gave a curt nod, but didn't look at me and then her fingers continued.
That's when I noticed it. My ability to touch her so freely. But that didn't worry me as much as the fact that my actions didn't bother me.
Sakura got up then but I grabbed her arm.
"What?" she asked expectantly.
"Kiss me."
"W...What?"
"Just do it dammit."
She shrugged and pressed her lips to mine and I pulled her down deepening the kiss.
"Alright you two, that's enough." Anko said from her desk.
Sakura pulled away and cleared her throat. "Explain that to me later." she said and walked off, a deep blush on her cheeks.
Ami sat down across from me. She looked pissed. Even better for me.
"We shouldn't spend too much time on this. I'll have the song written and we can practice it sometime." I said, keeping my tone bored.
"I want it to be a funky song, no guitars please." she said, trying to catch my eye.
This wasn't going to be pleasant at all.
SxS
Sakura and I sat down next to each other at lunch again. It seemed to have become some kind of habit. And I still couldn't bring myself to be bothered by it...
"Ino, that text you sent me in first period was pathetic, both of you are!" Sakura said to Ino who was sitting in front of her.
"Both?"
"Yes both! Obviously Tenten was your informant!"
"So what? You and Sasuke played tonsil tennis in class, nothing to be ashamed of."
"THEY WHAT?" Naruto basically screamed. Fucking loud dobe.
"Yeah, you heard right Naruto. Right in Anko's class." Ino went on.
Naruto began to ask Tenten to give him a description of what happened but Ino's next hushed words caught my attention.
"You kissed him? So he's...you know...The Only Exception?"
Out of the corner I saw Sakura smile slowly and then she nodded.
"You sure?"
"Yeah...I am."
A guitar played and Sakura jumped and grabbed to her chest in shock.
A Flyleaf song.
She took out her phone. "Hello?"
...
"Oh, hello, I've been alright and you?"
...
"Yes I remember."
...
"Uh...Of course...yes, I promised."
...
"Temari? She can't make it."
...
"Ok, so I'll start on Wednesday?"
...
"No problem...Bye."
She hung up.
"What about me?" Temari asked.
"Principle Hiroki called, remember we promised to help out with the school fair. The dancing."
Temari nodded.
"He wanted to know if we're still available."
"Shit."
Sakura groaned. "I've missed so much school already."
"So what are you gonna do?"
"I guess im going to Tanzuka for a few days."
Before I could stop myself - I frowned.
