I Do Not Own Naruto
Showering in Doubts
Sakura woke to find herself in her bed again and the Uchiha was sitting in the corner with his sword propped on his shoulder as he waited for trouble. He was asleep though, even she could see this as she gently touched her lips and stared at him.
Uchiha Sasuke had kissed her.
Uchiha Sasuke had kissed her!
Holy shit! She was out of her bed and into the bathroom quickly as she shut the door behind her and bit her lip as she rested her head on the door and tried to calm her racing heart down and tried not to panic or hyperventilate because he had kissed her yesterday. Sakura leaned against the door as her legs went jelly on her and she slid to the cool floor of the hotel she was staying in. Not only had Uchiha Sasuke kissed her but he was willing to prove to her that he cared and had agreed to her terms.
Sakura didn't know how to feel about that as she sat on the tiles and hugged her knees now.
When she had said all of that she had been mad, frustrated, and slightly jealous of all her friends who had it all and she could only ever stand from afar and watch it with a smile and her own envy. Now she was certain she had been dreaming or something because there was simply no way in the world that Uchiha Sasuke was ever going to actually take her on a date or even court her properly.
Why had she used that word of all words? Court? It made her sound like a prude! Well, just because she was a virgin did not make her a prude. Now, before one got the wrong idea and think she was saving herself for someone special that was not true, it was just well, she was busy. Honestly she was a virgin because she had been too busy with war, fighting, healing, surviving, and picking herself up off the ground to glue her heart back together to really worry about having hot wild sex with some random stranger. Though there had been times it had been tempting to do just that. But usually exhaustion had her passing out at home on her couch, or a night out with Ino had her swearing off men for good.
A night out with Ino was enough to make the human race want to hide from sex as well. Ino, while loveable and not a slut; just had no filter between her mouth and brain when she was excited with boys. And the way Ino could have men stumbling around with a single look or smile, or simply swaying her hips, well, no girl could ever compete with Ino when guy trolling was on the menu for the night. Ino would have every man all over her with nothing more than a wink.
And then there was her, Sakura thought bitterly as she striped down and got into the shower now. It wasn't like Sasuke was getting his dream girl; hell even that Uzumaki girl who had hung off him had been more built than her. Sakura sighed as she ducked her head under the spray of the shower then. He'd probably jest get bored with a girl like her and leave her after one date.
No matter, if she had demanded the date from him then by all that was sacred she was going to at least enjoy it and have one treasurable memory of him.
Sasuke opened his eyes when he heard the shower start and stood up then. He had interrogated Kabuto's apprentice last night and all he had learnt was nothing. Kabuto was in charge of some orphanage but Sasuke had learnt nothing of the apprentice's motives. The man had been mum on the subject and he had even evaded telling his name.
No matter.
Gaara had the man locked up in the best prison Suna had; which Sasuke would admit to being slightly impressed by as they had walked through it. Even if he had been incarcerated there he'd have a difficult time escaping that prison. It was mostly the surrounding terrain which made it a tricky prison; once you were out of the prison you were in the middle of nowhere dunes with no headings. The heat even at night was sweltering and there was no water near the prison in any direction. The prison received just enough water to sustain their prisoners but not enough to be horded for an escape. The internal security was impressive as well.
Not that it was likely to matter because Sasuke sincerely doubted that the apprentice would be getting out of the prison.
Now Sasuke had returned to Suna he only had to wait for Sakura to find the antidote to the poison and then they'd be on their way home. He was not looking forward to figuring out what the hell courting would require but since she was under the very wrong impression that he hated her he'd do whatever she wanted to prove otherwise.
Sasuke sighed, women were such confounding creatures and he was not entirely certain what he was supposed to be doing for her. Sakura hadn't made it entirely clear what kind of 'dates' she was wanting but he was going to be trying here. He was definitely having that talk with Kakashi.
Everything was just so damn complicated!
Well, he supposed there was no one but himself to blame in this matter because he had been the one get himself into this situation. And he would just work on proving to her she was wrong about how he felt about her. It was definitely going to be a lot more challenging than he thought it was going to be, but he had been working to prove to everyone he had changed. He'd just add it to the list. The shower turned off and he sat back in his corner as a wet pink head poked out of the bathroom and he feigned sleep wile she crept out.
Before the end of this week this will be completed.
That's all for now folks!
Enjoy Only Tears!
