"I'll say it once more then." Sasuke sighed, he hated repeating himself, especially to idiots.

"Put her down on the ground, then all of you except the one carrying her can go." Sasuke pointed at Shinji and the threat worked because I could feel him shaking under my stomach.

"What could a missing-nin like you possibly want with a whore like her?" I booted him as hard as I could in his stomach, he had no right to talk about me like that! He lurched forward clutching his abdomen, dropping me head first to the floor.

In a flash Sasuke scooped me into his arms and put a good distance between us and my ex boyfriend.

"Sasuke…" I gasped running my fingers over his face, I wanted to make sure that it was really him, I still couldn't believe he was here…holding me, saving me.

"Are you alright, Emi?" he nuzzled his face against mine, refreshing himself with my scent and the heat of my body. The sensible thing to do was to deal with the enemies before tending to each other but lust leaves no time for others. He crashed his lips against mine, our fiery breaths mingled together in a kiss so passionate I forgot the rest of the world. Even though we'd kissed so many times before it felt like the first, it was so different because it wasn't just electricity surging between between our hungry lips but feelings of love were passing through aswell.

The five man audience each drew a knife. Sasuke sighed into my mouth and unstuck himself from my sweaty body. He was up in an instant, I shouldn't have been surprised, he was always 'up' quick when I was around.

"Look away." He told me. I turned my head to the side, the heat from a hundred fires licked at the back of my neck. The huge fireball Sasuke had created pulverised his enemies into steaming piles of ash but it was the few seconds it took for them to burn that he didn't want me to see.

"Is it over? Are they..?" Sasuke pulled me to my feet, there was a patronising smile on his face that I didn't appreciate.

"Definitely dead." For him it was nothing, for me it was traumatic. I was just a normal person. He attempted to put his arm around me but I pushed past him and lunged into the closest bush vomiting violently ontop of a family of ants. Even after drowning the bugs in a gut full of pasta and wine the putrid smell of old barbecue was still making me nauseous. Then my supportive saviour started to laugh.

"I'm glad you're enjoying seeing me suffer!" I shouted from the safety of the bush. He handed me a cannister of water that he carried with him from time to time. I rinsed out my mouth, washed my face and took a greedy guzzle.

"It's not that!" he continued to chuckle, pulling me against him despite me having just thrown up.

"Then what?" I pouted.

"I just thought, 'maybe she's pregnant'." If I wasn't pale before I definitely was now! The idea should have terrified him not made him smile.

"I can't be. I take a tablet every day to prevent it so-."

"You could be."he cut me off and crouched in front of me hugging my stomach to his lips. I loved the sweeter side he was showing me, the moment was almost too beautiful to be real. I pushed my fingers into his hair, grinding my nails gently against his scalp until he groaned sensually with each movement.

"Is that what you want?" I dared to ask. My voice was so quiet I couldn't hear it over the loud thudding of my heartbeat. A couple of hours ago I was wondering if we were finished and now here we were discussing having a child.

His clutch tightened on me, like he was afraid to lose me. "I want you."

Back at my place I was still reeling from another shock. We weren't having sex. Like a possessive child with his favourite toy he refused to let me go.

For the third time I asked him what was wrong and finally he replied.

"I decided last time I left you not to come back." He admitted, his clothed body tensing against mine. If he wasn't wrapped around me I think I probaly would have walked out. The last time words had hit me so hard it was Grandma telling me my parents were dead. I had a dozen questions to ask but I couldn't find my voice to ask them. The most important one was burning on the tip of my tongue, what the hell was he doing here then?

"I knew what you wanted to tell me, what you were thinking when we kissed on the way back from the restaurant. You know that I can't reciprocate-" He knew that I loved him and yet he was still willing to walk away?

"How did you know?" I interrupted him abruptly. There was only one way that he could have known what I was feeling- he must have felt it too.

"Wh-what do you mean…?" he quickly untied his limbs from mine and moved to the window, keeping his emotive eyes away from my sight. He'd left ash on my bed sheets, it should have annoyed me but it didn't, I just wanted him back next to me telling me the three words I hadn't before imagined I would want him to say.

"Tell me how you knew. And don't pretend it was some ninja skill." I perched on the end of our bed on the patchwork blanket my mother had made when I was little. For me this was a make or break moment, his constant mixed signals were taking their toll on my sanity and every time he left me behind my heart broke a little more. I had to save what was left of it.

He moved for the door. I watched through steamy eyes as he threatened to exit my life forever without an explanation for what went wrong. Perfectly shaped salty tears ran over my damp cheeks, I was powerless to stop him physically. The only thing I could do was utter his name one final time.

"Sasuke…don't go…"

Will Sasuke stay and admit how he feels or will he walk away? (Another gold star up for grabs :p)
