The winter holidays were finished. Sakura was now on track with the rest on her grade twelve class. The wounds she recieved while being obduced were now fully healed, she was able to actually think.

But she coouldn't be herself.

Why?

Well, it had started off with the note Sakura recieved when she came home from school that day.

Flashback

Sakura had made it home, with two bags of books, papers and tests, setting them down in her room, she walked towards her dresser, where she saw a note, folded, lying down neatly.
She thought she knew who it would be from, but when she opened it, and read it, her face went pale, and she thought her heart had stopped.

End of flashback.

Honestly, she had thought her heart had stopped. The note, well, it was extremely short, and she knew who it was from. She had taken it into the ploice station, who had flat out told her this wasn't evidence that she had been obducted.

Currently in her room, lying on her bed, she looked over at her drawer, opening it, she took out the slip of paper, which had the note, she opened it, and read it;

Sakura;
We- erm, yeah we, have no fuckin' idea how the hell you got away, Zaku's basement is fuckin full proof, anyways, it doesn't even matter, we're not in jail, yet, we can get you just as easily as we did last time. You're such a slutty bitch y'know? Takin' Sasuke away from me, and then taking away our friends, who the hell do you think you are, anyways, listen up you fucking little whore, we're still in the game, so be prepared for the worst year of your life.

- Temari, Gaara, and Zaku.

As soon as she finished the note, it began to thunder, and the rain bounced off of her window, rather hard, lightening appeared outside, and she smiled. Rain was always soothing to her.

Folding the note, she set it in her drawer, she almost had a heart attack, there was a knock at her bedroom door, "Come in!" She called, picking up her finally finished homework, setting it neatly into a pile. Looking her her shoulder, and out her window, she noticed the sun was hidden beneath grey clouds, and the sky was pink and orange.

At least Ino would be home, and she wouldn't have to be iun this big old mansion by herself, right?

"Hey Sakura, just informing you, I'm gonna go head over to Shika-kun, cause he said he had a V-day surpise for me, you know what that means, right?" Ino asked with a wink.

Or not. "O-okay. Eerm, call sometime tonight, if you're not, too busy." Sakura said, walking downstairs, waving her best friend off as she made it to her car.

Seeing the bright red car pull down the road, he pulled up, pulling the cut key, he set it in his pocket, running up the steps, he knocked on the door. Waiting for a response. The door, opened, and there she stood, clad in a white fitted tanktop, and a pair grey, overly baggy baggy track pants, she smiled. "Hey Sasuke-kun."

He smiled. "Hey, Sakura." Sakura let him inside, where he shut the door behind him.

"So.." he began, taking off his coat, it was rather cold outside, he was surprised there was no snow!

"Erm, Sasuke-kun, why are you here?" she asked.

"I can go if you want to..." Sasuke trailed off, pretending to be hurt.

"No, no no!" Sakura exclaimed, she smiled. "I was only wondering what you were doing here."

"Sakura, it's Valentines Day, and I intend on spending it with my valentine." he replied, wrapping an arm around her waist.

Laughing, Sakura said; "That is one of the corniest pick up lines I have ever heard of!"

Sasuke shrugged. "I thought so too, but hey, at least I tried." he paused, letting go of her. "So, anyways, what do you want to do?"

Sakura smiled "I was gunna watch movies, scary movies, but now you're here.." she trailed off, remembering the last time Sasuke took her to see scary movies. He had scared the livin' daylights out of her, and she hadn't forgiven him for three weeks.

Talk about holding a grudge.

Smirking, Sasuke shook his head, remembering the event as well. "I promise, I won't, I won't scare you." he said, trying to hide the laugh was about about to escape. With an eye roll, Sakura led him towards the lounge, where they decided on a rather scary movie.

Sasuke had said the only way to watch a scary movie, was to watch it with the lights off, so he flicked the switch, and the movie started.

Soon after, Sakura had had enough of the scary, gory scences, so she said she would go get a drink for the two. Sasuke, didn't really seem to get the fact that Sakura was only making drinks, so that she didn't have to watch the movies, until know, when he realized, she had been gone for a good ten minutes.

Pausing the movie, he wandered towards the kitchen, where he leaned against the wall, watching her stand there, and then, walk towards her refrigerator. "Hey." he said, turning around, Sakura screamed, dropping the cans of coke on the ground. Sasuke, burst out into a fit of laughs, when he saw her face, glaring, Sakura 'Humphed' and picked up the pop cans. "Sakura!" Sasuke exclaimed, walking over to her, he wrapped an arm around her waist.

At the same time, the two reached up, grabbing a glass at the same time, their fingertips brushing against each other. Blushing, Sakura looked at him. "It's impossible to stay mad at you, you know?"

Sasuke looked at her, and grinned, "I know." Of course, this situation was very serious, well, in Sakura's opinion it was, the lights were shut off, only because she kept them off, the two were incredibly close, noses practically touching, and, his arm was wrapped around her waist.

It seemed, that well that the moment was right, the two were slowly, drawing nearer, and their lips met. At first, Sakura was about to pull away, but, she found it was almost impossible, she didn't want to anyways, wrapping her arms around his neck, she pulled away, only for a breather.

He looked at her, almost as if wanting permission to kiss her again, and when she nodded, he smiled, he kissed her neck, arms wrapped her her tiny waist, she made a little noise in her throat, she wasn't used to such love. But soon, she relaxed. It seemed so right, coming naturally. But, didn't it always come naturally when you were with someone you loved?

He lifted his head, looking at Sakura, who was staring back at him, she let out a cheesy smile, before, pressing her lips against his, loosening her grip on his neck. Sasuke, seemed to be enjoying every minute of this little session they were having. He felt like Sakura, it came naturally to him.

He had kissed his fair share of girls, and no one compared to Sakura, she... well, she was his everything. She liked him for who he was, not for his looks, or popularity, or money, or looks, Like Temari and the other super bitches were.

Carefully, Sasuke picked Sakura up, princess like style, and carried her upstairs, his antics caused Sakura to giggled "Sasuke-kun, what are you doing?" wrapping her arms around his neck, she let him take her to his destination. "You'll see." he responded with a wink.

As he reached the top of the stairs, he walked down the hall, to where Sakura's room was. He opened the door, only to be greeted by the pouring rain, and the thunder outside. He smiled, he knew Sakura loved the rain.

He placed her on the bed, where she propped herself up, waiting for him, he climbed over her, sitting beside her, he kept his arm wrapped around her waist, as he gave her butterfly kisses on her neck. At first, it tickled, so she giggled, soon enough, she got used to it, and let him kiss her. She kept her arm wrapped around his shoulders, as she managed to lay down on the king sized bed.

He pulled away. Still laying beside her, he let her lay her head on his shoulder, while he whispered sweet nothing into her ear. "Sakura?" he finally asked.

"Yeah?" she responded, curling up into a ball, by his side. "Happy Valentines Day."

"Thank you." she responded. Drifting off into to sleep, the last thing Sakura whispered was: 'I love you..' Little did she know, Sasuke had heard it.

The two simply layed there like that, arms wrapped around eachother, with nothing but the sound of thunder, and pouring rain hit Sakura's window.
