A/N: I once pitied Sasuke. I felt he deserved so much better. I felt as bad for him as I do for Itachi-sama. But now my hatred for Sasuke grows as fast as Sasuke's hatred for Konohagakure. After that last chapter…I feel sick. I never thought that even Sasuke, the chosen pupil of Orochimaru, could descend so low.

They were only five minutes from reaching the sea port town. It was time to go their separate ways.
"We'll be on the radio twenty-four seven," Kakashi said. "We'll contact you if we need you. You do the same."
"Right."
"Contact us the moment you finish your mission," Kakashi said. "If everything has gone according to plan, we'll meet up at the ferry."
"How likely do you think it is that nothing will go wrong?" Sakura asked quietly.
Kakashi sighed.
"Not likely at all," he murmured. "I think Deidara, Sai, and I will run into Stone Shinobi within a few days."
"Is that why your using a jutsu to make your hair black?" Sakura asked; Kakashi nodded.
"Sai and I both have dark eyes; we can pass as cousins if need be."
"Will you—"
"I will not be taking off my mask," Kakashi said, interrupting Deidara.
"Damn."
"And Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked, trying to get back to the main subject.
"If we run into Stone shinobi and they recognize me or Deidara even with our hair…We'll likely run into Team Hawk," Kakashi said, gazing towards the sky as though he could see the entire scene playing out. "If we do, the first thing we'll do is radio you. At only a mile away, you should be able to get to us before anything too damaging happens."
Sakura nodded.
"We'll take this path," Kakashi said, indicating a trail through the woods. "You take the main road. We'll arrive at about the same time."
"Right." Sakura frowned. This would be so much easier if it were a two-man mission, or at least if they had a female teammate. Then they wouldn't have to separate like this. But Konoha was still short on Ninja—Kunoichi in particular—so it couldn't be helped.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Beginning to Realize (THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT)
It was late at night when Sai finally got to sleep. Far from being able to go over Sakura's strategies with her again, Sai found that it would be too much of a giveaway if they spoke privately. They were therefore reduced to mere nods and polite words if they happened to run into each other.
Reviewing plans with Deidara and Kakashi was a different story, however. They were three men and did not have to hid the fact that they were traveling together. With their fake identities, Sai and Kakashi were immediately believed to be cousins and Deidara's gloves hid the hands on his mouths.
"Sai?"
Sai jerked awake at the sound of a soft voice and the door to the room he was sharing with Deidara opened.
"Sakura?"
"Did I wake you?"
"No, but Deidara might wake up."
"He's not here. I met him in the hall when he went to the deck. He said he was going to be there for a few hours, gambling with some other men."
Sakura sat and Sai felt the mattress dip with her light weight.
"Sai?"
"Mm?" Sai looked up to see Sakura's silloete looming over him.
"Sai…"

Sai sat bolt upright, gasping for breath and covered in sweat.
"Sai, you okay, un?" Deidara asked sleepily, stirring in his bed.
"H-hai," Sai said shakily. The sweat didn't seem to be the only thing making him wet and sticky. "I'm fine."
He picked up the alarm clock; it was just past four. The alarm wouldn't go off for another thirty or so minutes, but Sai didn't care. He swung his legs over the bed and grabbed his clothes before darting into the bedroom as Deidara fell back into his pillows and began to snore again.
Still panting, Sai turned the shower on with the water as hot as it would go; sitting on the edge of the tub, he tore off his t-shirt and used it to wipe the sweat from his face before peeling his dark pants off his legs; the crotch of the dark cloth was damp and sticky with a white fluid. Sai's brow furrowed. It was cum. He had ejaculated in his sleep. Kicking the pants aside, Sai shoved the shower curtain aside and let the water fall on him, rinsing away the sweat before turning the water's temperature down and leaning against the shower wall, trying to reason this experience out. He hadn't cum in his sleep since he had gone through puberty, not terribly long after his brother had gotten ill and died. A sudden smile flashed in his mind's eye and Sai's eyes snapped open but he couldn't stop the voice that filled his head.
"Put it in me, Sai."
"Shit…Shit, shit, shit," Sai muttered, pressing his face against the wall; he grabbed the faucet and turned the water's temperature down again, this time until the tap hit its limit and would go no further; the water's frigid contact burned but Sai was too preoccupied with trying to get the image of lusty green eyes and the sound of a keening moan out of his head.

For the rest of the day, Sai didn't so much as glance up when he felt Sakura's chakra near, nor did he really listen while Kakashi and Deidara went, once again, over their basic plan. He couldn't concentrate on his teammates. He was too busy trying, and failing, not to remember images from his dream the previous night, of pristine white teeth snagging the edge of his grey-black pants and dragging them to his knees before pink-tinted lips parted wantonly and—no, no Sai wasn't going to think about it.
He wasn't going to think about soft white skin, black lashes rimming bright emerald eyes, or harsh but high and breathy feminine moans. He wasn't going to dwell on the dreamed but oh-so-real feeling of a warm, wet, spasm-inducing tongue tapping at the tip of his cock before a warm mouth enveloped him and if he could just lift his hips up a little higher to slide himself deeper into that warmth and bliss—but soft hands with chakra-enhanced strength held him down and the tongue tapped lightly before her mouth slid down and she let her tongue run down his shaft, stopping at his base before sliding up to the tip again. A chakra-channeling hand left its place on Sai's hip to glide across his stomach, tracing his navel before laying flat against the muscles of his abdomen and slipping down to brush slim fingers through the soft, wiry hairs, the chakra fading away in both hands. The lost tingle of the chakra was more than made up for when the second hand began trace the protruding bones of Sai's hips and the hand that had been running through the coarse hairs below his navel cupped his testicles and her mouth left his cock to travel upwards to press hot, wet, open-mouthed kisses around his member and lick a trail to his navel before dipping into it and leaving a wet trail from his navel to trace up his sweat-beaded sternum before giving each flat nipple a flick, making them harden before she leaned up to give him a deep, wet kiss, drawing Sai's tongue into her mouth and sucking in time with the rhythm with which she was running a light finger over the sensitive underside of his shaft before encircling him with her hand and—
No! No, he wasn't going to think about it. He wasn't going to think about it. He refused to give in to the images left over from his dream of being dominated by his younger, kunoichi teammate. But that was the part that confused him the most.
Sai was well experienced with sex—or at least using sex to get information—and he had never, not once, enjoyed having a woman on top of him, not even to give him head. Granted, most of his sexual encounters for information had been the result of genjutsu—the only real part was the foreplay—but even in genjutsu he dominated the entire situation.
Shaking his head, Sai left Kakashi and Deidara to their conversation and went into the room he shared with Deidara to take, for the second time since the first shower when he had awoken, a cold shower and brood over how, just as Sakura had come in the dream, he had woken up with his crotch coated with his own cum, before he had been able to dream of Sakura's face.

Short, but don't complain; review instead! You got some great imagery. Next chapter will be longer, I promise!
