Sakura could feel Naruto's anger of just knowing that she was with Sasuke last night. Sakura felt her heart racing and she quickly looked over to Sasuke, pleading to him silently to help her tell Naruto. His eyes, still wide, had no assurance in them. Sasuke knew he couldn't assist Sakura in this explanation. He sharply looked towards Naruto. Words weren't needed- Sakura knew that there was no more stalling.

Don't stammer. Don't leave out anything. Whole truth. Nothing left out. I can't do it. I can but this is hard. I can right? This is horrible. Sakura thought to herself as thoughts of how this could turn out raced through her mind. Most of the thoughts led to Naruto hating her guts. The one with him understanding, and them staying friends was just too unrealistic. The fact hit Sakura full force now that she had to say it out loud. She had cheated on her first boyfriend.

When the two boys in the room said nothing more Sakura panicked. "Alone?" she quietly asked Naruto, factoring in Kimiko was still sleeping. Naruto eyed her angrily. "No Sakura. Obviously Sasuke is involved in this, you should explain to me in front of him." He said as he stared at the two frightened Genins. It seemed as if he could see straight through them. "Start, Sakura-chan." Naruto demanded in a barely audible voice. His voice was low, but it was harsh. The intense feeling Sakura received from Naruto's eyes made her want to calm him down. At best, not make him any angrier. She wasn't sure that was possible with what she needed to tell him.

Looking over to Sasuke for approval in telling Naruto everything that had happened, Sakura received a quick nod. A deep breath started the intense account of the previous night. "Almost a week ago something happened that just…made me think differently about our relationship."

…pink flowers… stars gleaming…"Sasuke-kun this is…amazing"… redness in Sasuke's cheeks… "Why?"… she longed for what he was about to say…"I love you" Sasuke said quietly…

"I've been thinking over everything over the days after that." Sakura lost the ability to stop her voice from shaking. "And last night I really needed to talk to somebody." Another gulp.

… cross-legged… silent… thinking… picking up the phone… Sasuke… "Sasuke are you busy?"… mixed right now… see Sasuke… lose herself… his gaze…

Before Naruto could ask why she didn't talk to him, because Sakura say the question was coming, she answered it. "I needed to talk to Sasuke. When I got to his house…It ended up to be less talking than I thought would go on."

…strange… mind changes… something to do with you… want so badly… you to say all the right things… you always do when I've got a problem… I can see your eyes… every muscle… aches for you… wrong… if only you knew… power you had over me… want to be loyal… how… if I still love you… think of two things… how unfair this is to Naruto… your arms wrapped around me…

"What do you mean less talking than you thought?" Naruto question stonily. A pink tone ran over Sasuke's pale complexion and I gulped again.

…our bodies are touching… I kiss you… you kiss me back…

"While I was standing at the doorstep…when Sasuke opened the door…I…I kissed him." Naruto frowns as he tried to not yell. "You kissed him?" Before Sakura could give the answer she was going to give, Sasuke spoke up. "I kissed her back." Naruto's mouth opens in bewilderment. He mouths the word 'why' and Sakura almost break down crying. Naruto shook his head and closed his eyes. With his eyes closed he asked, "Is that it?"

…your hands slip onto my waist… pull me in side… slide my hands slowly up your arm… end up in your black hair… fall backwards… on your couch… My knees… either side of your stomach… Your hands… find my hands… You hold our hands beside your head… my fingers between yours… This isn't my boyfriend I'm on… you've noticed the tears that dribbled onto your cheeks… feels so right… be so wrong… let my head fall onto your chest… you place your arm around my shoulders… I want to be loyal… I want you… we can't be together… only the truth… hurts… You lean in… push my index finger onto your lips… "I don't want to hurt you…"… "What about you?"… "I already hurt… I don't want you to hurt the way I do!"… "…if a kiss is going to hurt me,"… bring your hand up to take my hand away… "Then hurt me."… You're leaning in… I'm not about to stop you… I love you… When you pulled away I quickly licked my lips… tasting yours… "It's getting late, I'll walk you home."… slide your hand into mine… I take hold… Our fingers are entangled… we're not together… at mercy to the world… I'm afraid of someone seeing us… pull my hand out of yours…

"No" Sakura said while every detail of last night rushed into her mind. She didn't want to say what happened, that they had ended up on Sasuke's couch on top of each other. She didn't want to leave it out, that they had kissed more than just once. Sakura hesitated and Naruto didn't like it. "Sakura. Tell me what happened." He said in his cold voice. All joy that usually played in it was gone, replaced with his anger. "Naruto, it's unfair to ask Sakura that." Sasuke told him quickly. Naruto replied with a glare. "What happened last night obviously wasn't very fair to me." Naruto shot back, more to Sakura than his Uchiha foe. His voice was rising, and noticing this, Sasuke figured out a way he could help Sakura. Kimiko slightly stirred. "Naruto you're going to wake up Kimiko. This is still a mission. Just…go out side and finish this." Sasuke told Naruto. He received a hate filled glower but Sasuke calmed himself enough to give a hard stare back. Sasuke had the right to, he saw the twinkle of tears in Sakura's eyes, and he hated it. Naruto snapped his stare away and turned towards the door, walking briskly towards it and outside. Sakura quickly followed, brushing a tear off her cheek that she couldn't hold back.

Sakura found Naruto outside with his arms crossed. "Sakura, I want to know what happened last night." Naruto said, his voice tinted with a hurt tone. Without thinking, Sakura blurted out everything, "We ended up on his couch on top of each other, and we kissed more than once. He walked me home, and we held hands but I let go. I thought someone we knew would see us and tell you. I was afraid you would hurt him." Sakura's cheeks wet from tears she let fall. "Don't hurt him." She whispered out.

"Sakura, why! Why did you do this!" Naruto yelled at her, letting himself cry. "I really did love you! You turned around and did this!" Naruto yelled at her. Sakura stared through a window in the house that they were babysitting. She could see Sasuke looking down at Kimiko. Her tears still fell as she looked at the boy that tore her and Naruto apart.

… "Things happen for a reason. Figure out the reason, and it'll make you feel better. It will probably make you forget about the pain too"…

Sakura remembered Sasuke telling her that once during a mission. She had fallen from a tree and forgot to release chakra on the soles of her feet. Sakura had broken her arm but Sasuke had helped her through it.

Sakura quickly began trying to figure out the reason to what she did and what was happening now. A smack twisted her head past the window and a sharp sting in her cheek brought her hand snapping up to it. Sakura turned towards Naruto with her mouth open. Her tears slowed and his were drying. "You realize I'm hurting a lot more than you right now." Naruto said, anger coming back to his voice. He sighed, and asked the question that made Sakura realize the reason for all of this, "How long have you loved him?" Wiping away some of her tears she answered, "As much as I hate it, I think I was trying to replace Sasuke with you." Naruto learned that sometimes a lie was better than knowing the truth. He clenched his teeth and held back all the colorful insults he had ready for Sasuke. "This is over." Naruto said, as he turned his back to Sakura and walked back into the house. After taking a few deep breathes and wiping away the fresh tears Sakura followed suit.

Sakura walked past the baby's room, looking quickly to see Naruto sitting on the floor in front of the cradle. Under his breath he let out all his comments. "…Fucking pretty-boy." Was the only one Sakura heard. She bit her lip, and walked past. She knew fully that he had the right to be angry. She walked down the rest of the hall, leaning her shoulder on one of the walls while she did. It seemed like forever, but she reached the couch and sat down in the same spot. Sasuke's gaze questioned her. Sakura sighed. "Whatever you think happened is probably right. I don't want to talk about it right now." Was all she could whisper out to him. Sasuke nodded and gave a fake, shaking smile. "I'm guessing you want to keep up the staying away from me." Sakura just closed her eyes and frowned slightly. "Yeah…"
