Your guys' reaction to last chapter was priceless xD I love you all so freaking much, it's not even funny on how much I love you guys reacting to my surprise. You think it wasn't good enough? Well, lemme tell you why it isn't good enough: Love takes time, and people who want to try and remember the good times need to be at peace and neutral pace. Sasuke is respecting that part for Sakura, so that she may remember him and remember the affectionate feelings she had for him in the past c: Regarding to the memory of Mebuki and Kizashi's last day alive, that was the day when Sakura realized that she LOVES Sasuke, not a crushing feeling for just an affectionate-beneficial-love. It's love, and you now have it on Sakura's mind.

And, for those who have been curious, I do not ship Obito and Rin or Kakashi and Rin. To me, Rin had feelings for Kakashi, but they were severed when Obito passed away. That's just my personal opinion for it, honestly. I like Kakashi and Shizune and Obit can have...peace c:" No hate here, okay? And yes, Rin killed herself to get the 'easy' way out. Rin was actually being used by Obito for his own benefit and did not take Rin's feelings into consideration. Obito took advantage of Rin's body (yes, people, he had sex with her) and she became depressed with that and along with Kakashi loving Shizune. And, at the time period this was set in, Rin would have been old enough to start having children...

So, if you hate Rin or Kakashi, that is perfectly fine and I am happy to know that readers are reacting to Rin's story and how she failed as the Forbidden Flower c: Now lets just hope that Sakura won't do the same, okay? I love all of you, both lovers and haters, and I am very happy with this story. It is mine and I will do what I wish (whether it pisses people off or not~).

Please remember to Review, Follow, Favorite or do nothing of the sort. I simply make fanfictions to entertain others and myself c: I hope you will enjoy this chapter and have a wonderful day, like I will!

Tasting Flesh

Chapter Nineteen

Sasuke felt time froze when Sakura's little fingers tangled in his black hair and forced his head down. He wasn't expecting any of this from her; just wanting to get her out of the chilling rain before they fell off of her limbs, get her something hot to eat and give her to Hinata or Karin. He wasn't expecting her to be in his room anyway - and from what he heard, Naruto said that she was playing with the three kids and talking to Mikoto - and he was half expecting to be able to nap for a few minutes before his mother would call for him and demand him to share a snack with her (some kind of mother-and-son thing she came up with).

But now, Sasuke doesn't think he's going to sleep for a long while.

The contact of their mouths was harsh, their teeth clacked together and he was certain that it was hurting Sakura more then it did for him. Her lips were already stiff and unexperienced with his pressed against them. She didn't know how to kiss.

And, all too soon, she let go and started crying, allowing Sasuke to stare at her with wide eyes.

"I-I...I'm so sorry, S-S-Sasuke-k-kun!" she wailed weakly as she hide her eyes with her pale hands. She was biting her lip to hold back her sobs, but the tears kept flowing down. "I-I just-! I j-just wanted to..." Her breathing hitched. "I'm so s-sorry, Sasuke-k-kun, I j-just wanted to tell y-you... I love you, Sasuke-kun!" she cried out as she covered her whole face with her arms, just like a helpless child. She felt so embarrassed of it all, really, and she was showing it rather well. "I w-wanted to do som-something to show-!"

"You need to calm down, Sakura."

Her emerald eyes snapped open as she shyly peeked at the Demon God, her cheeks red as roses as she made a small whimpering noise of embarrassment. Sasuke was gentle enough to sit her up and carefully wrap his hot arms around her, a hand cradeling the back of her head as his lips pressed against her forehead, whispering gently to her.

"You tried too hard, and it hurt your mouth," Sasuke explained softly, feeling her nod against him shyly. He pulled back a little and he held her face with both hands, noticing the slight red spot on her bottom lip, this thumb gently touched the little speck. She blinked and looked down with her own embarrassment.

"Are you mad?" she whispered out against the pounding of the porch's roof of the rain. She carefully reached up and gripped his yukata shirt carefully, holding herself close so she could feel his warmth. "I didn't mean..."

Tilting her chin up, Sasuke made their eyes meet with a sudden feeling of heat spreading through out their bodies at the same time. Sakura's face reddened and her green eyes sparkled like the stars when Sasuke pressed their foreheads together, their nose gently bumping together. She exhaled shakingly as she clung to his shirt a bit tighter.

"Hn," Sasuke smirked little as he rubbed his thumb on her cheek again, causing her to squirm a little bit in his hold. He closed his eyes and allowed the sweet feeling of her being close to him and just having the confusing moment of their mouth hitting together to take in the good side on this.

'I love you, Sasuke-kun!'

Being so tempted to try again, Sakura breathed in and out once more before leaning up. She pressed her doll-like lips carefully against his, allowing them to touch just slightly to give her the better feeling on her mouth, drowning the sting on her lower lip as she pressed a kiss to Sasuke, hoping he wouldn't mind it if she tried one more time.

Sakura's heart skipped a beat when Sasuke returned the kiss, the hand holding the back of her head tangled in her long, pink hair as Sasuke bent his head to deepen the kiss a bit more. She closed her eyes and trailed her hand up to wrap around his neck, the other hand resting on his chest to feel his heartbeat against her palm; the cold on her legs were forgotten as Sasuke held her closer to him and didn't stop kissing her. He did it again and again when she started to struggle to breathe and she couldn't help but smile against his mouth.

"You're smiling," Sasuke mumbled against her mouth, not opening his eyes to look at her. He kissed her once more before letting go and bury his face into her pink hair.

"I'm happy," Sakura giggled lightly as she pressed her mouth to the tip of his ear, she cuddled into his lap better and suddenly shivered from the cold sting of her legs. Sasuke noticed this right away and took her distraction to pull her legs away from the edge of the porch and scoop her up into a gentle hold.

When Sakura looked at him, he simply pressed his nose to hers and stood up, with her in his arms. "You need to get warm. The rain here is not safe for you to be in; it's ice cold and dangerous," he mumbled carefully.

"I can walk, Sasuke-kun," Sakura claimed, unconsciously trying to move her toes on her own, but found it rather difficult and bothersome. She pouted a little when Sasuke smirked teasingly at her. "Don't laugh at me!"

"Why were you out there in the first place?" Sasuke asked while looking at her warily, as if she was up to no good.

Giggling shyly, Sakura played with her fingers like Hinata would whenever she was nervous. "Aweh... Mikoto-kaachan told me about the party she was planning tomorrow."

"Aa," Sasuke blinked, unfazed by his mother's great idea. He kept hold of her when she started squirming by the way he was staring at her, telling her to continue.

"And," Sakura swallowed as she tried to keep back her blush, "I wanted to go to the party...with you."

"You've never seen a party in this world, Sakura," Sasuke explained. "It's more like a ball, sort of way, and there will be other Demons that don't know about you being here." His voice went on to become a little low as he went on. "There will be two other kingdoms coming here and the rest of the Uchiha Clan will be there."

"I'm not scared," Sakura sniffed with a fearless expression, causing Sasuke to remind himself of when she was a child and she would try and explore places she shouldn't be in. "I trust you well enough that others won't eat me. If they're like royalty, they have to have some manners on not to eat Mikoto's friend, right?"

"Mother sees you as the child she'll never have," Sasuke bit out with a roll of his eyes, making Sakura grin bigger.

"So you'll go with me to the ball?" Sakura rubbed her hands comfortingly on his shoulders, tempting him to purr in the back of his throat. When he made the face of trying to hold it back, Sakura smiled brightly. "I take that as a yes!"

"Hn..."

"Thank you, Sasuke-kun," Sakura cooed as she smushed his cheeks and pressed a kiss to his nose. He made a small growling, making her stiffen a bit in slight nervousness. Sakura was about to try and slip her way out of Sasuke's grasp when he caught her mouth into another breathless kiss, causing her to whine softly but wrap her arms around his neck, tugging at his spikey locks.

"Karin is passing by the hallway entrance," Sasuke spoke after he pulled away too soon for Sakura's liking. She pouted a little and tried to pull his head down a little bit sos he could give him another kiss, but he easily resisted. "You need your legs to be treated first... Then, I'll come visit you."

"You better keep that promise," Sakura frowned as he carried her to his bedroom door, sliding it open and stepped through, calling out to the Uzumaki noble by a bark of her name. She turned her head to see Karin hurrying down the dark hallway and stopped in her tracks when she saw Sakura in Sasuke's arms, her brows furrowing in slight worry.

"You called for me, Sasuke-sama?" Karin straightened her back and kept her chin high as Sasuke took the last distance out by a few steps.

"Sakura's legs were exposed to the rain," Sasuke informed as he jerked his head to Sakura's abnormally pale legs with a sickly-looking lavender tint to it, causing Karin to gasp in shock. "Get her blood circulating and keep her warm. I'm leaving her in your care."

"Hai," Karin nodded in understanding as Sasuke started to pass Sakura's small body over into her arms. Ignoring Sakura's protests on trying to walk, Karin held onto Sakura as gently as she could while she bowed her head to the Demon God. "Your father requests your presence, Sasuke-sama."

Before Sakura could say goodbye to Sasuke, he was already gone and out of her sight, causing her to pout a little bit. Karin carefully turned herself around and started walking back into the corridor of the palace with Sakura in her arms. "Karin-chan, I can walk."

"I can't sense much energy in your legs," Karin said softly as she glanced around the other hallways before walking down another with red lanterns. "It won't take long to cure this, Sakura, I assure you. By the way, were you in Sasuke's bedroom..?"

"Mn? Yeah, I was waiting for Sasuke-kun so I could talk to him about something. Why?" Sakura glanced to the redheaded Demon to see her smiling somewhat mischieviously.

Looking down to her respectfully. "Oh, nothing really... Just that Sasuke-kun has never let anyone into his bedroom for decades," Karin purred to her own amusement as Sakura's cheeks tinted. "He has a very low tolerance for anyone entering his bedroom, even while he's inside; not even Naruto, who happens to be his best friend, is allowed in there - or either of his parents for that matter."

"Ahh..." Sakura blinked before looking away shamefully, her face reddening three shades deeper. "I never knew that about Sasuke-kun."

Karin shrugged, a smile still plastered on her face. "It's alright, Sakura-chan. To be honest, Kushina-bachan and Naruto-niisama were betting on if you were to be allowed in Sasuke's bedroom before you guys were wedded." The Demon dared to let a small giggle out when Sakura wailed in frustration on how those two nobles were willing to bet against her. "It's alright, Minato was kind enough to calm his wife down before she started singing. I helped along too."

"Thanks, that makes me feel a whole lot better," Sakura said sarcastically.

"It's alright, though, it's all the fun." With that said, Karin stepped down stoned stairs to a lower-level of the palace, taking Sakura's curiosity to wonder where they were heading to. "It's still raining outside, so Kushina-bachan suggested that all us ladies take a small spa-day until the rain lets up for us to go back to our homes. I will use some warm lotion for your legs and then you can take a bath with me and the other girls."

"How long do you think until the rain lets up?" Sakura looked at Karin questioningly.

"By the time we are done with our bath, we should be able to run and get into the house," Karin smiled. "The rain may be cold, but it's not as dangerous as winter if you stay out there long enough without the proper clothing."

"Or an umbrella?" Sakura piped in.

"Exactly!" Karin concluded as she walked into a slightly humid room with cubbies and towels; bottles and bars of soap, silky clothes and hair wraps were organized in the room, and a curtain sealed off the entryway into another room with steam slipping through. Karin was gentle as she set Sakura down onto a bench, pressing her fingers to her legs gently, seeing how cold the limbs were.

Before Karin could ask, Sakura held up her hands. "I can undress myself, thank you Karin-chan."

It was Karin's turn to look away shyly. "Force of habit; lower class Demons are usually the ones to do everything."

"Hey," Sakura snapped her fingers to get the redhead's attention. "You're not a low class Demon to me, you're my friend and you deserve some equality."

Karin flushed deeply as she held her own face. "You're too k-kind, you know that? Just let me know when you're ready to get inside the bath and I will help you by hand, okay?" The Demon offered Sakura a warm smile as they both began to undo their sashes and buttons.

=xxx=

"Aah!" Ino's voice cooed as she grabbed Sakura's face and pulled her cheeks lovingly. "Looky at meh lovely Saku-chaaan! I'm going to spoil you tomorrow, you know that right?" The Yamanaka teen gushed as Sakura rolled her eyes and splashed the bubbly water at the blonde's face. "Mikoto-sama and I planned out the perfect colors for your dress, and the style of your hair will be perfect! Ooh, I can hardly wait."

"Meh," Sakura huffed as she leaned back onto the wall of the bath and peered around. Ino was floating around her mother, who was patting her daughter's wet head to see what she was up to, and giggled when Chi did a peek-a-boo move with her hair over her eyes. Karin was settled near Kushina, who was busy talking away to Mikoto on the other side of the bath with Chiyo keeping her eyes closed (the only difference between the three ladies over there was that Chiyo was exposed from the neck up while the queen of the Uchiha and her noble were soaking their legs with towels wrapped around them); the elderly Demon didn't pay much mind to the others around her, and she seemed content with herself in the warm water. Hinata was out of the bath, wrapped in a fluffy towel and gently petting the slight bump on her lower abdomen, speaking softly whenever Kushina gestured to her daughter-in-law.

Sakura could feel her legs again and was happy that Karin didn't carry her into the bath bridal-style, uprising her embarrassment and how everyone greeted them with giggles and how adorable Sakura looked (mostly Mikoto and Ino, but you know). Karin treated her legs with a warm lotion and hot rocks before settling her into the bath, where Ino called to wash Sakura's hair as her best friend do the same for her hair.

All the while everyone else was relaxing and talking among themselves, Sakura's thoughts were completely elsewhere of settings and people around her. She was remembering how she kissed Sasuke a bit too hard, hurting her lip a little bit, and was suddenly upset with herself that she ruined a moment with him. And then, to make her heart plop out of her throat, Sasuke held her and gave her another chance to try...

Sakura melted on the inside and shivered in utter sweetness of how passionate Sasuke was when she kissed him again and he didn't hesitate to show her how to do it properly. Sakura was so deep in thought that she didn't notice her grandmother coming closer to see her grandchild's eyes closed and her face completely relaxed...almost dreamy.

Chiyo did not hesitate to pat Sakura's cheek somewhat hard, causing Sakura to snap out of her daydream and yelp, catching everyone's attention inside the bath. "Sakura, darling, what has you so flushed, ne?" Chiyo did a cat-like smile to her only granddaughter, leaning closure to her and sniffing. "To be honest, my dear child, you don't smell completely like yourself."

"H-huh?" Sakura's eyes widened as her whole body reddened at her grandmother, noticing every head turning to look at the two curiously.

"You smell like Sasuke-brat," Chiyo cooed as she closed one eye. "And in a very specific place, I might add."

With that, Ino paddled over and grabbed Sakura's face, who was trying to be resistant, and bumped noses with her best friend; taking a small wiff, the Yamanaka daughter's tealed eyes widened as she bared her teeth in slight anger.

"Sasuke-bastard kissed my Saku-chan! Ohh, fuck no!" Ino wailed in thunderous fury.

Before Sakura could explain, Mikoto's voice pipped in with a somewhat happiness in her voice. "Are you serious, Sakura-chan..? I...I thought I told Sasuke to take time, didn't I, Kushina-chan?"

The hyperactive Demon shrugged with an impish grin. "I'm pretty sure you pounded it into his skull a while back, Mikoto-chan."

Ino's frustrated head snapped at Karin. "Didn't you smell this before you entered the bath?" she asked with a raised voice, causing Karin to dip into the water out of mere fright.

"I can only sense bodies, not scents! My nose doesn't work that way, goddamn it!" Karin whimpered, making Ino hush up a little and relax to the redhead. "Besides, I didn't notice anything by it when Sasuke-sama carried her out of his room and-!"

"HE WHAT?" Ino howled again as she looked at Sakura with determination in her eyes. Before Sakura could say anything again, Ino was already trying to lift her friend's leg. "Let me see and let Sasuke-bastard's fate be put into my hands, that horny mother fu-!"

"He didn't do anything!" Sakura cried out as she shoved her foot into Ino's face, making the blonde grumble and back off a bit. Adrenaline was pumping through Sakura's veins as she pound the top of the water with her fists. "If you guys must know, I kissed Sasuke-kun, okay? He didn't do anything to take advantage of me; on the contrary, he was scolding me for falling asleep on his porch outside! I kissed him. I kissed Sasuke-kun! Now knock it off!"

"Jeez, can't blame me for being careful," Ino snickered as Karin and Hinata gaped at her like a fish; Mikoto and Kushina glanced at each other slowly before looking back at the pissy pink-haired teen and Chiyo simply smiled at her grandchild.

"You don't need to get fussy, honey," Chiyo chuckled as she pat Sakura's red cheeks. "To be honest, I am quite happy for you, baby girl!" The old Demon did her 'ho ho ho!' laugh as she swam to the edge of the bath to grab her shampoo bottle, allowing Mikoto to strip her towel off and go over to Sakura, who wrapped her arms around her legs and buried her face into her knees.

"Sakura-chan, honey, are you sure Sasuke didn't do anything to tempt you to-?"

"No, he didn't," Sakura mumbled softly as she rest her chin up, looking at the beautiful Demon Goddess carefully. "I was the one who started it, Mikoto-kaachan... Why does it matter who started it?"

"Because," Mikoto giggled as she blushed, "I didn't want Sasuke to try and take advantage of you; I don't know what's going on in that silly boy's mind, but I wanted to remind him that just because you're in our home doesn't mean he can...put pressure on you."

Sakura remembered instantly on how Obito took advantage of Rin, no matter how resistant she was towards him, he took her first in everything she held dear to herself, thus pushing Rin into a deeper depression. Sighing softly, Sakura closed her eyes and leaned her head on the curve of Mikoto's shoulder, allowing her to reach up and pet her wet hair gently, like how Mebuki used to do it while Sakura would cuddle with her mother when she was alive.

"Sasuke-kun has never put pressure on me for anything," Sakura whispered softly, drowning out the other women in the bath. It was now just Mikoto and Sakura in the corner. "I honestly believe that Sasuke-kun would never try and take advantage of me. He loves me too much to make me upset, or try to have his way."

"Ah, I see now," Mikoto grinned softly as she nuzzled Sakura's head gently. "I should've put my trust in Sasuke instead of worry about his hormones, ne?"

"Uh-huh," Sakura giggled when Mikoto laughed at the moment of silence. She grinned brightly as she pulled back and leaned against the stoned wall.

"To tell you the truth, cutie, Fugaku-kun and I were exactly in the same position when we first kissed," Mikoto cooed softly to herself. "I can remember it like it was just yesterday - Fugaku-kun took me on a walk through the cherry blossom garden in the Uchiha Compound, and he took me to the tree his mother and father was buried under. It was the most sacred place for Fugaku-kun, and no one else ever visited that part of the garden but him; he told me how important I was to him, and how he wanted to protect me and love me like his parents did for each other... And then I tackled him."

"Eh?" Sakura gaped with wide eyes.

Mikoto chuckled with a rosy blush on her cheeks. "I jumped him and kissed him senseless, right under the pretty weather and the cherry blossom tree he confessed his love for me," she sighed dreamly. "Oi, Kushina-chan, where did you and Minato have your first kiss?"

Kushina's red head popped up from the water, startling Karin next to her. Her violet eyes glistened with the memory as she smiled cat-like and naughtily. "It was during a battle against these hungry Demons, when you were pregnant with your firstborn; we were all bloody and pissed off with those weaklings. Minato looked at me and said 'Kushina-chan, you've gotten your nice dress all stained - how are you going to tell your grandmother about it?' and then I said: 'You stupid blond! Like fucking hell I give a damn what my Grandmama thought about my attire!' I thought he was going to make a snarky remark, because he smiled at me. But, to my shock, he simply said 'Well, no matter what, you're just going to get more beautiful, aren't you?'"

"And then what, Kushina-kaachan?" Hinata asked softly, blushing at the tales the older women were telling.

"Whatd'ya think happen? I marched up to him with an angry face!" Kushina laughed sweetly. "The poor fool thought I was gonna pummel him, but I grabbed that buttface's hair and yanked him down for a steamy kiss!"

Sakura giggled as Kushina cooed around in her spot, allowing the steam to puff up with the added body heat. "And don't get me started with Hinata-nyan's first kiss; I was so totally listening in on you two!"

"E-eh? H-how did you know, K-Kushina-kaachan?" Hinata gasped as she pulled her towel over her face.

"It was in your bedroom, of course," Kushina purred. "And, as the lady-like hostess I was, I kept track of every move you made while you were healing up! It was, what, six years after he brought you home and you were still depressed? He just came in and sat down by you, saying nothing - some weird move of him! - and he sat and sat with you for hours. I don't know who made the first move, but it was really cute how you squealed afterwards and passed out."

Hinata sputtered as she buried her face into the fluffy towel, allowing Kushina to tickle up the pregnant Demon's leg with her fingers. The other girls aww-ed at Hinata's embarrassed behavior and soon settled down, assuring that the dark-haired woman had nothing to worry about.

"How about you, Chiyo?" Mikoto asked the woman who resembled a snow monkey with her rag ontop of her head. The old Demon's eyes cracked open as every pair of eyes settled on her expectantly, waiting to see what nice story she had of her past. Chiyo looked around for a long moment before closing her eyes again with a breathy sigh.

"My wedding day."

The young-looking Demons drowned in the water as Ino and Sakura bursted out laughing, Hinata smiling and Karin blinking in confusion, Chiyo simply smiled in her own victory as she relaxed in the bathwater. "Yep. My wedding day, and it was the best kiss out of all of yours', my dear ladies."

"How could that work out though, huh?" Mikoto cried out as she bristled by Sakura. "That shouldn't even be accurate in your time, Chiyo!"

"Yeah yeah!" Kushina 'humph'-ed and crossed her arms, glaring daggers at the Haruno noble. "What gives with the blandness? Where's the romance and passion into it? It happened too fast, if you ask me, Dattebane!"

"I never asked," Chiyo shrugged. "If you must know, my husband and I were already in deep love, we didn't need to do such things until we sealed ourselves to each other. Personally, it made getting married even more worthwhile; and the sex was great."

The younger Demons and teenaged human stiffened and started to gag, even Hinata felt squirmish as she scooted a bit away from the elderly Demon who smirked. She chuckled cat-like as she looked at Mikoto and Kushina with sharp eyes. "Come on, ladies. Don't you think your wedding would have been much more hot if you waited just a little bit more?"

"Actually, Fugaku-kun and I got wedded a few days later," Mikoto rolled her eyes. "We couldn't keep our hands off each other!"

"Um..." Sakura's hesitant voice caught the attention of all the women in the bath. "Did you all have to wait until you were married to go...all the way?" She pressed on the difficult word and rephrased it to something more suitable.

Chi was the first to chirp in with a shocked hiccup. "Saku-chan nu know?" Chi fussed with wide eyes, making Ino to stop floating and pressing a hand onto her mother's shoulder.

"Don't know what?" Sakura asked as she looked at everyone with nervous eyes. She couldn't understand what was wrong with her question. "What is Chi-bachan getting upset over?"

"Sakura," Mikoto blinked with confusion of her own, "don't you know that Demons get married by having sex?"

...

"WHAT?" Sakura screamed as she stood up in the the bath, splashing water all over the place. Everyone instantly tried to calm the pink-haired teen down with gentle voices, but Sakura was not having it. "What do you mean that's how they get married? No one ever told me that! Who came up with that rule, huh?"

"Chiyo! Didn't you tell Sakura-chan about the marriage rituals we do?" Kushina barked at the still relaxed old-lady, who simply opened one eye before shrugging again.

"It never came up."

"Jesus Christ, Chiyo!" Mikoto groaned. "Sakura-chan, honey, sit down and let us explain it to you..! Relax!"

"Saku-chan," Ino whispered softly as she caught her best friend's attention by standing up in the pool as well, holding her friend's shoulders firmly and looked straight into her eyes. "Sit down and we will talk about it. It's not as bad as it sounds, you know... Think about it."

Listening to the one she trusts more then herself, Sakura bit her lip and let Ino guide her to the edge of the bath by Hinata, ordering her to sit as she sat on the ledge, grabbing the shampoo bottle. When Sakura dipped back into the water, she faced the other Demons with her arms crossed, trying to shake off the anxiousness she felt prickling her biceps. Ino started to scrub Sakura's hair, knowing it would eventually calm her down and gave the signal for Mikoto to start talking.

"Way before wedding ceremonies were constructed," Mikoto spoke softly, "a marriage between man and woman, man and man, woman to woman, Demon to Demon and Demon to Humans were displayed by making love to one another. That sealed their souls together by allowing their spirits to meet their other half for the first time.

"Back in the day, love was not limited to the judgemental ways of race, gender or species," the Demon Goddess continued on. "To be frank, we didn't even see it as sex - the joining of bodies to please their own urges - but rather, it was all about making love - when you express each other perfectly. They didn't have multiple partners back in the day, and it was much easier for people to find their perfect-match."

"And then when religion got into the mix," Kushina added in when Mikoto glanced to her noble's way, "wedding ceremonies were invented to seperate love by discriminating of what seemed 'bad'. The religions were looking at it as to purify the world and populate the world by keeping it between man and woman; and they shut out Demons being able to be with Humans in married status. Demons became very pissed off about it and that's when we started blocking Humans from our world."

"But what about my mother's parents? One was Demon and the other was Human, wasn't that right?"

"We didn't seal off the doors completely from our worlds," Chiyo grumbled in. "Dan, your mother's father, happened to stumble through the door and plop himself into Tsunade's kingdom and my home."

"And...he was okay with being with a Demon despite religion?" Sakura asked quietly.

Chiyo shrugged. "From what I understood, Dan didn't believe in religion because he believed that everyone deserves to be happy; no matter who they are with, people shouldn't tell them who they can or can't love. It's disgusting."

Sakura thought about it for a moment before nodding in understanding. She didn't look up when she swallowed and blurted out her next question. "So, then Demons don't believe in sex with more then one person? Like boyfriend-girlfriend, or something?"

"No, we see it as making love with one person who completes your spirit," Mikoto chimed in with a sweet smile. "And, afterwards, other Demons can tell if you are wedded or not; then they know not to piss off your husband! Right Chi?"

Chi cooed with a clap of her hands, nodding to Mikoto's fact of how Inoichi's behavior whenever humans would openly flirt with her in the flower shop back in the Human World. "Right right!"

"And Ino-chan..?" Sakura glanced up to her best friend with a raised brow.

Flushing madly, Ino pouted and continued to scrub Sakura's hair. "Don't look at me, okay? I just prefer to find the one before I get all lovey-dovey. Besides, I gotta protect you, you cutiepants; no way am I having you wedded on my watch!"

"I don't plan on having sex, Ino-chan," Sakura hissed out when Ino turned the tables. "Hell, I just had my first kiss! I'm not going to become an animal anytime soon!"

"Well," Kushina glanced everywhere but at Ino and Sakura, who snapped her way. "If you really want to know, we women get more antsy when we want to tie the knot with our lovers, Dattebane..."

"Didn't Minato say that you raped him?" Mikoto snickered at her friend who puffed her cheeks. "If I remember right, Minato cried to Fugaku that it was uncomfortable to sit or walk because you wouldn't let him rest!"

"Shut up!" Kushina cried out. "I'm sure you and Chiyo and Chi were the same way. How about you, Hinata-nyan? I'm sure you wouldn't let Naruto leave the bed!"

Hinata instantly flushed, shaking her head and started crying, and the other married Demons simply shook their heads, causing Kushina's hair to flame up in realization. "Holy shit, I took advantage of Minato like in those Teacher-Student romance novels!"

.

.

.

Simply because the realization of how love works, it can become stressful.

.

.

.

And now, that she knows the truth of it, she feels more self-conscious...

.

.

.

How long will it take for her to know...

.

.

.

That he has no intentions in taking her.

.

.

.

Simply because he loves her.

.

.

Once the icy rain lit up, Sakura and the Demon women finished with their bath, got dressed and hurried with the Uzumaki nobles and Yamanaka to their houses, settled down and were now relaxing in their little rooms. Sakura was currently sitting by Ino on the giant bed that the Yamanaka family shared, watching her best friend point to random colors of eyeshadow in the little package she brought along and finally threw her hands up in the air.

"I'm just going to wait for Karin to finish the outfit, then I will compose a plan for the makeup," Ino grumbled as she fell back into the pile of pillows behind her, making the bed bounce a little and distract Sakura. "I hope you have fun at the party."

"You're not coming?" Sakura perked up with the sudden news.

"Psh, me? No, this is something for the royal-highnesses and nobles," Ino rolled her eyes and held the back of her head with both hands. "Yamanakas are nowhere near those ranks. If we're lucky, we are like...bodyguards, per se."

"Pow pow, Yamanaka bodyguards," Chi cooed as she pumped up a fist, making her daughter giggle brightly.

"Yeah, that's it, Mommy," Ino giggled before turning her attention back to Sakura. "Don't worry, just because we are not allowed in the party doesn't mean we won't be near. I'll be like a ninja and crawl on the ceilings."

"Can you do that?" Sakura gawked with surprised shock.

Ino only snickered teasingly, causing Sakura to growl and tackle her friend onto the bedding and start tickling her. Both girls started laughing and attacking each other as Chi simply turned back to her laundry, folding shirts and sheets with an amused hum of a song; Ino and Sakura froze in mid-battle, noticing how Chi was not paying attention and they took the chance to grab her. Chi squealed and was pulled back, pinned by the hands of Sakura while Ino tickled her mother's ribs, causing the bleached-blonde Demon to puff her cheek and laugh like a child. With this, Inoichi took the perfect time to walk into his room to see the three girls fighting.

"What is the meaning of this?" Inoichi twitched as he saw the positions of his wife. If it wasn't known, Inoichi was very protective of his wife and a giant pervert for Chi as well.

"Chi play with girls!" Chi cooed as she hung her head upsidedown on the edge of the bed. "Chi play, Inoichi play?"

Chi's wonderful husband rubbed the back of his head and sighed nervously. "No, no thank you, honey. We'll play later, if you want," Inoichi strained in his voice, making Sakura and Ino to look at each other questioningly. "How are you girls doing today?"

"Fine Daddy. Where have you been all day, huh?" Ino pestered to her father with a grin on her face. There was no way Yamanaka Inoichi to ignore his child's questioning, no matter how bad it looked like he didn't want to answer it. When Inoichi was making an obvious pokerface, Ino frowned at him and started hissing. "You were with Shikamaru again, weren't you? I knew it!"

"I don't know why you don't like him, sweetie," Inoichi refused to meet his daughter's gaze as she bore holes into his soul. "Shikamaru is actually a really good man, honestly; I think you need to cut him some slack. He takes a liking to you, that I know."

Ino's sun-kissed skin flushed to a deep red as she bared her teeth. "Well, I don't like him! He treats me like a lady, which I'm not! I refuse to see him eye-to-eye in everything! Mommy, tell Daddy that he's fooling himself, will you?"

Chi lost all the additional weight as Sakura and Ino let her up, rolling off the bed and looking at the ceiling with a curious gaze. She smiled sweetly as she clapped her hands. "Denial is first sign! First sign is denial!"

"See, your mother agrees with me," Inoichi grinned toothly, causing Ino to shriek at her parents going against her. "Before you know it, honey, you're going to like Shikamaru as much as your mother and I love each other."

"You're all crazy," Ino growled. "If I had a choice, I'd go lesbian and hit on Saku-chan! At least she understands what I mean here about all of this, right?"

Sakura simply shrugged. "I'm not a Demon, so I wouldn't know."

Ino groaned as she fell back into the pillows, burying her face into the cushions. "You all suck!"

Sakura laughed lightly as she plopped herself ontop of her best friend, cuddling her lightly to let her know that she had no intentions on making her angry. It didn't take long for Ino's tensed back to relax and let a gurgle of a small purr emerge in her chest, making Sakura smile. Inoichi beckoned Chi to stand up, and she obeyed her husband with a childish jump.

"Oh, and Sakura-chan," Inoichi broke the silence as Sakura continued to rub Ino's back comfortingly, "Chiyo-sama is waiting for you in your bedroom. She has something for you with her, and she asked me to let you know."

"Okay," Sakura nodded in understanding as she stood up and stepped over Ino's dozing form, letting her friend cool down from the feisty arguement she had with her parents. Inoichi and Chi let her out first, bidding her goodbye as she hurried down the slim hallway to her bedroom in the Uzumaki house.

Sakura could easily hear her grandmother's voice snipping at someone in her room, and then Pakkun's gruffy voice went into the mix before she entered her bedroom, seeing the elderly lady holding a wrapped gift on her lap and Pakkun resting on Sakura's bed, his curly tail wagging when she smiled at both of them. Chiyo sat down on the floor in japanese-style before looking at her granddaughter.

"You wanted to see me, Chiyo-baachan?" Sakura chirped as she stepped over to her bed and sat next to Pakkun, who let his tongue hang out when she started rubbing his pig-like ears.

Chiyo grinned sweetly and nodded. "I had a birthday present that you never opened, honey," she said softly as she placed the wrapped box onto Sakura's delicate wrap. "I have been meaning to get this opened by you before it was getting cold outside; and I suppose this rain happened to remind me."

"Old hag," Pakkun snickered, receiving a flick on his black nose by the elderly Demon.

"Stuffed rat," Chiyo bit back with equal teasing. When Sakura lightly giggled, the two old creatures ceased their arguement and looked at her with gentle expressions. "Go ahead, darling. Open it now."

Sakura gave one nod as she removed the silky white ribbon first, giving it to Pakkun by trying it to the collar the mut had on. She then carefully removed the blue wrapping paper and crumbled it into a ball, looking at the sleek white cardboard box that was hiding for nearly three months; a folded piece of paper being held by tape was sticking to the top, and Sakura carefully removed it and opened to read the letter.

"'Dearest Sakura, we are so proud of you becoming eighteen years old,'" Sakura recited the fancy writing printed across the paper. "'We wish nothing more then for you to be happy and as loving as we raised you to be... Please, be responsible of becoming a young adult and never forget on how much we love you with all our heart. Love, Mom and Dad.'" Sakura went silent after croaking the names of the people who wrote this letter, looking at Chiyo with sad eyes.

"When they knew that they weren't going to live for very long, your parents thought ahead and made a gift for when you turned eighteen," Chiyo explained softly, looking down at her own hands. "They spent every waking-moment making this gift for you, so that you could have something special on your eighteenth birthday, something that will remind you of them and how they lived everyday of their life loving you...until the very end, their adoration for you never changed."

Sakura hesitantly opened the box, revealing a smoothe, silky-like surface of a bloody-red fabric; it looked to have a hood with equally red stings that looped the hood's rims. Running her fingers across it carefully, Sakura picked up the shoulders of the material and held it up, her emerald eyes sparkling as tears swelled into her eyes.

"It's a cloak," Sakura hiccuped as she brought it down.

Chiyo nodded slowly. "It was your father's idea to make something for you when this world sees winter, it gets rather cold. Your mother agreed to it and they both worked on it with the finest fabric in this world; it feels like simple silk, but it will keep you warm in the coldest of places," Chiyo grinned slightly as she pointed to a white ring printed on the left breast of the cloak. "This mark here, it represents the kingdom your parents came from. The Senju is the red dot in the middle, and the Haruno is the white ring around it. It represents the bravery of your mother's royal life and the protectiong your father's noble duties performed. It's very sturdy and water-proofed, so you don't have to worry about rui-!"

Sakura threw herself at Chiyo, wrapping her arms around the old Demon's neck and pressing her face into her grey hair, sobbing lightly. Chiyo was surprised by this, and looked at Pakkun who had a happy gleam in his old eyes as Chiyo carefully wrapped her arms around Sakura, petting her back as gentle as she could when a smile itched on her wrinkled face.

"I'm sorry for hiding you for so many years of this world," Chiyo whispered into her grandchild's ear. "I'm sorry how I kept you away from the reality of it all, even though I knew it was the time for you to see it... After what happened to Kizashi, a child I took as my own, and that darling Mebuki," Chiyo strained with her own tears as she nibbled her lip, "I-I couldn't risk losing the only grandchild I could ever have, and also risk my last son's life to try and save you before Sasuke came back... I was so selfish."

"I love you, Chiyo-baachan," Sakura mumbled as she tightened her hold on Chiyo. "Thank you for taking my dad into your family and raising him as a perfect man my mother fell in love with. I love you, and you should not regret anything."

Chiyo closed her eyes, letting her walls come crumbling down as she clung to the back of Sakura's dress, sobbing weakly as she hugged her granddaughter to her chest. "I'm so happy for you, and I know your parents would be more then proud of you, if they saw you here today as you are."

"Thank you, Chiyo-baachan," Sakura laughed a cry as she pulled back, holding the cloak towars her and inhaled the scent of her mother and father that was stuck in every stitch as they worked together on this. "This is a wonderful gift, thank you for giving it to me, Chiyo-baachan. I love it."

Chiyo wiped her small tears away and grinned. "You should've seen Kizashi trying to sew the embelm, he would always prick his fingers and start crying like a baby to your mother. Mebuki wouldn't have him fussing so immaturely and she tell him to suck it up." She chuckled at the memory, holding her own cheek. "Oh ho ho, those two were so complete with each other, it was just a sight to see."

Sakura smiled as she hugged the cloak, looking at her toes shyly before speaking. "Hey, Chiyo-baachan...?"

"Mm?" Chiyo started pulling on Pakkun's ear when he looked zoned out, but the dog simply glared at her with disinterest. "What is it, dear?"

"Do you think...Sasuke-kun and I could be as happy as Mom and Dad were?" Sakura peeped with an emerging blush, taking notice by Pakkun who did a doggish grin, his canines sticking out.

Chiyo simply chuckled. "If I remember anything that happened between you and that spoiled brat, it's that every moment was a happy moment for him," Chiyo rolled his eyes. "Even when you did something naughty, he wouldn't punish you like he was told to. I always had to hit him with my wooden spoon when he'd say how cute it was of you to hide his things in the woods and refuse to tell him where it was."

When Sakura flushed deeper, Chiyo didn't hesitate to laugh and press a hand on her knee, getting Sakura's attention right away. "Don't worry about it, honey. I personally think that Sasuke is head over heels for you, and he wouldn't have it if you were sad or crying. I'm sure he would make a fool of himself now to try and get you to smile."

After letting it sink in for a moment, Sakura finally nodded and smiled. "Thanks, Baa-chan."

"Anytime, sweetie," Chiyo chuckled as she leaned in to kiss Sakura's smoothe cheek. The elderly Demon stood up in her short stature and grabbed Pakkun by the scruff. "I need to get going now, I have to escort a guest over for the ball, and this lazy-mutt is coming with me."

"Bah, cut me a break, old witch," Pakkun groaned as he was whisked away by the skin of his neck as Chiyo laughed evily as said goodbye to Sakura one last time with a kiss on her other cheek before leaving the bedroom. "What do I look like to you, huh? Am I one of those bitchy purse dogs from Hollywood?"

"Might as well be, bacon-breath," Chiyo laughed as they faded into the background, leaving Sakura to smile brightly and hug the cloak more to her chest.

Quietly, Sakura thanked Chiyo again and then she sent a message of thanks over to Heaven, asking them to tell her mother and father that she loves her present and she will treasure it for the rest of her life; and she could just feel the gratitude swarming her heart as she looked at the cloak again, focusing on the lovely color...

"Wait," Sakura blinked softly. 'Rin-chan, don't you wear a cloak similar to this...?'

Rin's presence pressed against her successor's back, her hands on each shoulder as her head peeked over to look at the cloak. 'It was very common back in my time for Humans to make cloaks like this, and the common color of this fabric was red,' Rin's voice smiled into her ear. 'By the time Sasuke was born, this kind of fabric was really rare and whoever owned it in the Human World lost its touch for it - the churches found it as a sinful piece of cloth, and so they burned it all.'

"It's very nice how Mom and Dad found this fabric and able to make it for me," Sakura smiled softly. "I can't wait to try it out."

'You'll like it,' Rin said. 'And, since it's so rare, why not make it your trademark?' The very idea made Sakura's own imagination take fold on how she could make it into the Forbidden Flower item. 'It can be our thing, you know? When the other ladies wake up, they'll be so amused by it that we will make a club!'

Sakura giggled at Rin's idea and nodded softly. She felt Rin's body back off of her form, and slowly take into her mind. 'You're very creative, Rin-chan.'

Rin laughed hard as she agreed. 'Well, I suppose it goes with the immaturity I still have with me, ne? That tends to happen when you're the youngest Forbidden Flower in here-!' Rin stopped speaking before she harmed herself emotionally, feeling Sakura's shoulders tense up into hard rocks as she looked at the cloak with now saddened eyes. 'Sakura-chan, don't worry about it... It was the past, and the past is behind me.'

'I know,' Sakura sighed in her thoughts. 'Are all of the other Forbidden Flowers old like Chiyo-baachan?'

"Oh goodness, no!' Rin laughed once more with a cheeky smile. 'When we pass away, we stay at the age when we became mothers - although, in my case, I died before I was ever a mother. Besides, most of us never aged when we were married.'

'Why not?'

'Because it is common for our husbands to make us immortal, like them,' Rin explained carefully. 'I never had it done, and I never asked the other Forbidden Flowers before... I suppose you'd have to wait until the barriers are completely down for it to make much sense. I'm just babbling.'

'That's okay, Rin-chan,' Sakura smiled once more. She stood up carefully, draping the rest of the red cloak out of its box and examined it; finding the measurements perfect for her size without trying it on fully, Sakura was proud of her parents and how they formulated her full-grown height. Folding it carefully, Sakura set her present on the small stool by the lantern that lit her room, noticing the shadow coming near her doorway.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura perked up instantly when she figured out the shape of the strong shadow, getting up quickly to meet him halfway into a 'hello' hug, wrapping her arms around him and inhaling his scent. She noticed how damp and chilly he felt against her bare arms, looking up to his face to see raindrops falling down his defined cheekbones. "Aren't you cold, Sasuke-kun? You're all wet and cold."

Sasuke simply shook his head, seeming unbothered by the water sticking to his skin in slightly iced-manner. When Sakura didn't let up on her hug, Sasuke raised a brow at her in question. This causing her to smile bigger and reach up gently, grab the collar of his yukata shirt and carefully pull him down to kiss him on the lips. It was short and brief, but it was sweet enough for Sakura when Sasuke willingly kissed her back and held the back of her head with both hands; he tilt her head back a little bit so he could turn his head to the right and kiss her better before pulling back to see her all red in the face and stars in her eyes.

"Okay," she hummed dreamly, turning on her heels and rubbing her eyes, "that was something there..."

Sasuke smirked teasingly before he opened his mouth to comment on that, but a loud, husky voice of a blond Demon that he knew all too well. "YOU GUY'S SPREADING COOTIES OUT HERE?" Naruto cried out with a gasp as he pointed a finger at Sasuke. "Come on, man! I don't want to see you guys making out in my house!"

"It's not your house, Dobe," Sasuke said flatly, his eyes narrowing. Sakura looked between both men before she smiled amusingly.

Despite Sasuke's comment on Naruto's rank in the household, that didn't stop the Demon noble from using a loud and proud voice that he inherited from his mother. "Just because I'm letting Sakura-chan live in my house, that does not mean that you two can have sexy sleepovers when I'm sleeping right next to you!"

"Naruto, you know fairly well that I hear you trying to seduce Hinata-chan in the middle of the night," Sakura blurted out, shocking both Sasuke and Naruto in their shoes. "So before you start complaining about how I say hello to Sasuke-kun, just remember I won't hesitate to embarrass you infront of the men in the Training Field!"

Silence etched in the hallway between the three figures, and then a sudden laughter emerged from the direction of the eatingroom. "Oh my freakin' God!" Kushina's voice cried out. "Sakura-hime, I fucking love you!"

"Love you too, Kushina-bachan!" Sakura yelled back sweetly before grabbing Sasuke's hand and leading him into her bedroom. "Come here, Sasuke-kun. You gotta see what Chiyo-baachan gave me for a present!"

Sasuke took one last glance at Naruto, who's jaw dropped in utter shock, giving his best friend a mean smirk before allowing himself to be dragged into Sakura's bedroom and sliding the door shut behind them. Naruto, still standing in the hallway alone, twitched his eyebrow before rolling his eyes and rubbing his head sorefully.

"Can't believe Sakura-chan heard that..." he whimpered as he started walking down to the diningroom to explain a few things to his mother about privacy.

=xxx=

"And she says that my mom and dad made it by themselves when I wasn't in their room," Sakura blabbed with a bright smile as as Sasuke struggled to find an armhole for her to use. He was having his own complications trying to help Sakura get this on properly (since this was a lady's cloak, he had no idea how to use it) and he also wanted to be able to listen to every word she had to say to him about this. "So I don't know how long it takes to make something like this, but isn't it really cool how Mother and Father made it by themselves?"

"Aa," Sasuke agreed with a concentrated tone in his voice, earning a giggle from the pink haired teen under the wraps of a bloody-red fabric.

"Found the head!" Sakur announced as she popped her pink head from the hole she found, making the rest of the task much easier for Sasuke when she arranged the hood properly. She was quick to stick her hands from the cloak's sleeve, making her grin bigger as she turned around on one foot. "How does it look, Sasuke-kun?"

Sasuke looked at her, taking in the brightness she pulled off with the lovely red color tinting her skin to be pale as milk and her eyes standing out from the fired-hue. She fluffed out her pink hair out from the hood and made her whole shape against the attire much better to look at without the bulkyness of her thick hair underneath the fabric.

"Mn..." was all he said and shrugged, looking away quickly to hold back the tints on the tips of his ears.

For Sakura, that was all she needed to hear. "Can we go outside to try it out?"

"No."

"Why not? It's not thundering outside or anything," Sakura pouted as she gave him a hard stare with those big eyes. Sasuke only took one glance at her with his arms crossed, shaking his head firmly to reject. "You think I'm going to get sick? Chiyo-baachan told me that this will keep me dry and warm!"

"I know of the fabric, Sakura," Sasuke informed quietly as he leaned against the wall. "That does not mean I will still take you outside in this weather."

"We don't need to be out there for a long time," Sakura pressed on as she stepped closer to Sasuke's relaxed form. "We can just hang out in the Compound and have fun!"

"It's not fun in this weather," Sasuke rolled his eyes.

Puffing her cheeks, Sakura allowed her body to fall forward, pressing herself against his whole body. This instantly caught Sasuke's attention as his head snapped downward to look at her with narrowing eyes. She simply smiled and gripped onto his sleeves with her delicate hands.

"What are you doing," he asked so carefully that it didn't sound like a question.

"I want to go outside, Sasuke-kun," Sakura grinned brightly as his arms gradually unwind and wrapped around her waist, his warm hands simply holding the small of her back, fingers tangled. "I really want to, you know?" she mumbled as she got onto her toes to touch noses with him, making him catch his breath.

"You're trying to trick me with seduction," Sasuke concluded with a low voice, yet not rejecting any of it when her hands snuck up and tangled in his black hair.

"Is it working?" she asked hopefully.

Uchiha Sasuke's smirk made her heart stop, when she could have been hopeful for the fact that he could fall for her trick, she felt everything shut down when he closed his eyes and nuzzled their noses; his forehead pressed against hers and his bangs tickling her cheeks as he sighed through his nose. "You know you're trying to trick a Demon God, right? The most powerful being in this world?"

"I'm willing to take the risk, Sasuke-kun," Sakura said matter-of-factly, shrugging her shoulders uncaringly, making him smirk bigger. "Either you take me outside, or I will ask Naruto to do it; at least he knows to let me have fun."

Sasuke bonked the back of his head on the cement wall. "You...are a handful."

Feeling victory swarming in her veins, Sakura cuddled more into his hold as she mumbled 'Thank you's into his chest multiple times. She was becoming more hyper by the very idea of going outside with Sasuke, as if it was going to be the coolest thing ever; getting over herself way too easily, Sasuke grabbed the hood on her cloak and draped it over her head.

"Wha-?"

"You keep the hood up or it's back inside," Sasuke purred softly into her covered ear. "If it's going to start raining heavy, then we're done, but only until then or if the hood comes down."

Sakura didn't hold back the blush and laugh as she uncovered her eyes from the hood and send him a teasing glare. She backed up a bit to let him slip out of the room, but not before he stopped and held out his hand to her, making her heart flip again again as she laced their fingers together.

To Sakura, she wouldn't mind trying to seduce Sasuke again.

Falling in love is about making sacrifices.

Sacrifices could vary, but the meaning of it all is that you are willing to give up...

And with that, it will make you look weak.

And weakness...
