Sakura shivered, despite the voluminous blankets shielding her from the
cold, wet night air. The chill from the pounding rain had long since
invaded the room, giving it a ghostly feel. Sakura sighed and threw the
blankets off of her body, and swung her feet onto the floor, immediately
cringing from the coldness. She stood up and groped her way down the hall,
using her fingers more than her eyes until she reached the desired room.
She stood in the doorway uncertainly, her choices swaying in her mind. She
took a deep breath.
"S-Sasuke-kun?" she whispered, her voice timid and uncertain. She heard a
stirring in the boy's bed, and a quick flash of lightening illuminated the
boy, who was sitting up and looking at her blankly.
"What?" he asked with a yawn, settling back down.
"I'm cold," Sakura said, nervous as to her beloved's reaction to this.
"Then come on in," he said tiredly, making room for the girl so she could
lie next to him. Sakura nodded and slid underneath the covers, feeling
immediate heat underneath. As soon as she got comfortable, an arm snaked
over her and pulled her closer to Sasuke. She gasped inwardly as she felt
the warmth radiated by him, and curled her head to his bare chest.
Suddenly, a horrifying thought raced into her mind.
'Oh my God! Some guys sleep naked!' Inner Sakura screamed. Sakura shifted
nervously in his grasp, keeping her legs away from his. She suddenly felt
his cold black eyes bore into her, and looked up to meet his gaze.
"Don't worry, I sleep with clothes on," he said, love and amusement
reverberating in his tone. She smiled and relaxed, letting her body drift
back to his and her head bury itself lovingly into his chest. "I don't
snore, wet the bed, drool, or have snot bubbles either," he added
pointedly, earning him a giggle from the girl in his arms. Both smiled and
looked into each other's eyes.
"Good night, Sasuke-kun," she whispered, gazing into his onyx eyes.
"Good night, Sakura," he replied, bringing his lips to meet hers.

Sakura woke to bright sunshine streaming through the windows. She crawled
out of the bed, realizing that Sasuke wasn't there. She walked downstairs
and into the kitchen, finding Sasuke sipping coffee. She waggled a finger
at him.
"Now, what kind of a breakfast is that?" she chided, going over to the
refrigerator and pulling out some random items. "I'm making you a good
breakfast!" She spent the next hour doing so, and by then the small was so
nice that Sasuke's mouth was watering and his stomach was growling. She
finally held a platter full of delicious food in front of him, letting the
smell tantalize his nostrils. When she finally put it down, he dug in like
he had never eaten before.
"Wow, Sakura, that was amazing!" he said contentedly as he sat back,
patting his stomach. He looked over at the smiling girl. "You would
certainly be useful around here, I usually only eat rice balls!"
"Ha, if I stayed here, you'd get fat!" Sakura laughed. Sasuke nodded.
"Well, even so, it's a small price to pay. Now I have a proposition for
you," he said, leaning over the table and looking into his girlfriend's
eyes.
"Maybe you could come over every day after training and cook? I'm sure that
I'd love to have you," he said, but blushed at his last words. "...Around,"
he finished, trying not to sound like a pervert. Sakura smiled.
"Sure, Sasuke-kun! But if I'm to cook around here, I need some more
ingredients! I'll go to the store," she suggested, but then looked down at
Sasuke's mother's clothes. "But uh, can I have my other clothes back? I'll
head home and change." Sasuke nodded, and disappeared upstairs before
reappearing with her clothes from yesterday. Sakura took them and quickly
changed in the bathroom.
"I'm off!" she called happily as she was about to step out the door.
Suddenly, Sasuke's hand firmly grasped her shoulders and flung her around.
He pressed his mouth heavily over hers, his kiss powerful and passionate.
While his kissed her, he shoved an envelope into her hands and broke the
kiss, turning away quickly and letting the girl stumbled outside dazedly.
Sakura opened the envelope.
"Holy Kuso!" she cried. "10,000 yen!"

Sakura stopped in at her family's store to say hello to her folks.
"What's in the bags sweetie?" asked her mother.
"Food for Sasuke-kun!" she replied happily.
"And is that where you've been?" her mother continued.
"Yup!" Sakura said brightly. "Cooking and cleaning!" Her mother smiled
patted her on the head.
"That's my girl!" she said before returning to her work.
Sakura continued back towards Sasuke's house, but stopped abruptly and
turned around.
"Ino-pig," she hissed at the girl who had been following her. The blonde
put her hands on her hips.
"What did you mean, 'at Sasuke-kun's house', huh? Have you been trying to
steal my man again?" asked the arrogant girl.
"He isn't yours, Ino," Sakura said softly. "Now, if you don't mind, I need
to go home and change."
"Fine, forehead girl! But you can't ignore me forever!" Ino called angrily.
Sakura suppressed a tear and continued her walk home. She was so consumed
in ignoring anyone who talked to her, that she didn't notice Rock Lee
sneaking up behind her and putting a sleeper hold on her (I think it's a
move that knocks the opponent out). The pink-haired girl fell backwards
into her captor's arms, unaware that she was once again being kidnapped.
