You Complete Me.
A/N: Please report back to me with any and all typos. Thanks much. Okay, here's the one you've all been waiting for... Blah, this is kind of fluffy... This chapter and the rest of the story re-edited on 4.30.2004.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in Naruto. I'm just borrowing them for my story. I also don't own the song "You complete me", which belongs to Stabbing Westward.
Part 16. You Complete Me. By bleedformeee
The sun was just beginning to rise and the rays danced on her eyelids. Sakura flinched and shut her eyes tight, turning away from the menace that woke her. She blindly felt the blankets around her, searching for warmth... for his warmth. 'Oh, please be there,' she thought to herself as her eyes began to adjust to the bright light filling the room. She could see his figure underneath the heap of blankets, his chest rising and falling evenly. She smiled.
Careful not to wake him, she slid off the bed and quickly threw on some crumpled clothes. Before leaving the room, she glanced in the mirror. 'Ugh, I look like crap. Oh well, it'll have to do,' she decided. As quietly as possible, she slipped out of the apartment and continued down the street.

Sasuke rolled over to escape the light that was threatening his sleep, but it was too late. Grumbling, he rubbed the sand out of his eyes. He tried to sit up, but his body refused to acknowledge his brain. He couldn't remember the last time he'd been so comfortable and unguarded. Then he remembered where he was. "Sakura." He willed himself to sit up and finding the bed empty, he found himself worried about his pink-haired lover, another emotion that was somewhat new to him. He climbed out of bed and wrapped the sheet around his waist. 'Hnn. I'll have to bring some clean clothes over. I can't just walk around naked all day.' He thought.
"Sakura?" He called, walking into the living room. His call was not returned. He checked the kitchen and then the bathroom. She was nowhere to be found. Sasuke felt sharp pain stab him in the stomach, and briefly he wondered if she was getting back at him for leaving her to wake up alone and empty. 'No. Sakura wouldn't do that.' He quickly shook the painful thought from his mind and frantically wondered where the hell she had gone. Just then he heard the door open from the other room. Running into the hallway he called, "SAKURA?!"
/I am lost in the darkness
Between two worlds and here I'm struggling
You're the light that I've been seeking
'Cause my whole life there's been something missing/
Sakura heard the concern in his voice, and dropping her bag, she rushed to his side. "Yes, Sasuke, I'm here. What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
He wrapped his arms around her neck. "It is now."
/Only you
Can make me whole
Just one touch
And you complete me
Only you
Can make me whole
Just one touch
And you complete me/
"So where did you go, anyway?"
"I thought you'd be hungry when you woke up, so I picked up some food," she explained.
"Er, what did you get? Perhaps I can cook it..."
"It's already cooked. It's takeout. I didn't want you to have to suffer my cooking."
"Oh, good. I mean... what did you get?"
"A little bit everything. I wasn't sure what you'd be hungry for." She retrieved the bag she had earlier dropped, checked for leakage, and then brought it back to him. "I was going to serve you breakfast in bed, but you're up now, so there goes that idea."
"No, we can still do it," he said, tugging her arm and leading her back to the bedroom.
/Rescue me from this black hole
That sucked me in and left my dying
You're the truth that I've been seeking
'Cause my whole life I've been lying/
"We should get you some clothes to wear," She giggled, finally noticing that he was walking around in her bed sheet.
"What's wrong with this?" He asked teasingly.
"Well, personally I don't see anything wrong with it, but I'm sure other people will when you venture outdoors," she laughed, pulling off her shoes and hopping into bed to join him.
/Only you
Can make me whole
Just one touch
And you complete me
Only you
Can make me whole
Just one touch
And you complete me/
"After breakfast we can stop by my place and pick up some clothes. If you don't mind, I'd like to stay here again tonight," he smirked.
"Okay, of course I don't mind. We'll go right after we finish eating..." She looked up and noticed the lustful look he was giving her and added, "...lunch, that is."
/God I pray you find me worthy
Of the right to stand beside you
And of your truth and of your passion
Of the right to sleep beside you/

How she had managed to talk him into this he did not know. He wasn't one to go around frolicking in meadows. Regardless, there he was, lying in a grassy field, being mercifully tickled by unrelenting fingers. At first he had tried to hide his discomfort and pretend that he was not ticklish, but she had somehow managed to work past that and he was laughing so hard he couldn't seem to catch his breath. "Stop it, Sakura! STOP! That tickles!"
"Finally you admit it. Do you also admit your defeat?"
"Defeat? I don't think so..." He said. She wiggled her fingers in his direction. "Okay, Okay! I admit defeat. You got me. Please, no more."
"Ha! I win," she announced, rolling off of him and snuggling into his embrace. She laid her head on his shoulder and breathed into his ear. "I love you, Sasuke."
"I love you too, Sakura. I won't ever leave your side again."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
As he lay there, feeling the love and warmth that radiated from her delicate body, he wondered how he had ever gotten so lucky.
/Only you
Can make me whole
Just one touch
And you complete me
Only you
Can make me whole
Just one touch
And you complete me/
