A/N: ;; thank you all for reviewing.

Soft creamy skin glowing in the wilderness of the woods, the sun hitting it at just the right angle. Sakura groaned as the sun beamed on her face, she didn't want to wake up yet. She rolled over feeling slightly cold, and found a surprisingly warm head next to her, her hand landed on something smooth with a light 'smack'. Giving out a small 'eep' she opened her eyes and noticed it was Sasuke sleeping soundly next to her.

Her eyes traced over his features, he looked so peaceful when he was sleeping. Her gaze held his frame steadily, her eyes running over the smooth paleness of his skin, the perfect masculine charm it held. Just like the rest of him. Without notice her eyes began to travel down from his perfect face, to his neck. Her mouth watered slightly as she looked at it, ripe and ready form it to be dampened by her wet kisses and licks. Further down she found his bare chest and naked nipples, pink and erect from the cold. 'But he feels so warm.' She thought, as her gentle hand rubbed where she had touched him. Going further she noticed his perfectly toned stomach, abs, every beautiful ripple of him was pure seduction. She felt envious of her hand, the kiss it made with his skin.

He stirred slightly and she immediately pulled her hand away as to not wake him. It was still very early and she didn't want to wake him up just because she was feeling up on him. A hard blush covered her cheeks. 'Certainly not.' she thought and stood up and dressed. 'I need to train.' She thought and looked back at Sasuke, who had greedily moved onto her side of the futon, taking in whatever warmth of what was there he could get. His eyes lidded shut with a beautiful expression of peace that she couldn't stop staring at. She had never seen him so relaxed.

Once she had her sandals strapped and her hair tightly tied, she jumped off to train. It was roughly 2 in the morning, she would train for 3 hours, bathe and be back with him before he woke up, she wanted to see that peaceful expression again, and she hoped she'd be back in time to see it.

Poker Face

Sakura made her way through the woods, being sure to make marks where she went so that she would be able to find her way back easily, the morning air felt musty and cool against her face. She felt groggy and awkwardly centered for this time of day, but she was pleased with herself for holding up a strong expression. While she made it through the woods, she noticed a body standing by the springs where Sasuke and her had been the day before. The body looked familiar to her, too familiar. She landed on a random tree branch and stood there, her creamy, bandaged leg kneeling to the wood of the tree, getting a better look at who was there. Her hand leaning against the tree for support. "?"

In a blink she noticed the figure disappear, caution spiked her senses. "You knew I was going to pass this way didn't you?" She asked to him, her voice husky due to her early awakening. "Partially a hunch, I knew you and my little brother passed by this way." He spoke in his eerily cheery voice to her. "You're tracking us..." She spoke and turned to him, a kunai in her hand, ready to fight back if he tried anything again.

"Why." She demanded in a flat statement. "You have something in your possession that I want." He spoke making her turn to him, mouth slightly open. "You're not getting it." She spoke angrily looking to him, as she was about to turn away from him, his hand took possession of her jaw, making her turn to him almost forcefully. "I don't mean that stupid letter." He spoke his voice coming out cold.

She noticed his eyes flash red. She felt light headed and dizzy. "I meant something that only you can give up...something that you promised Sasuke... soberly." He spoke his warm breath caressing her cheek. "Something I...promised him..." She told him clueless, her eyes boring into his. She felt an unnatural pull; one that made her stomach do flips... what was it? It felt wrong but at the same time... she didn't care as long as she got closer to him, just a little bit more and-

Sasuke woke with a jump, his body covered in cold sweat as he blindly reached his pale arm out, feeling around the futon for his partner. "Sakura...?" He asked looking around for her, panic rode his features, it was almost time for them to leave, around 5:00 A.M. 'She never...misses...' He stood up not bothering to put on his shirt and tracked her down, she had always held an easy way to be traced, always let herself be found... by him. Only by Sasuke.

His chest heaved to a sudden halt when he saw both of them up in the tree, his brother's tongue swirling over Sakura's pink lips. He heard her helpless moan. He noticed the Sharingan...'Bastard!' He thought as he watched, frozen. 'He's hypnotizing her...' He thought as he noticed her face, her eyes clouded, looking directly into his.

"Give me what you promised him Sakura. Help me hurt him more... help me hurt him through hurting yourself." he whispered seductively. Kunai grazed the heated glow of his cheek as he turned angrily at the intruder. His eyes normalized, he was gone in an instant. Sakura fell off of the tree, and Sasuke dove for her. Dust collected as he breathed out, holding the limp woman in his arms. He felt her curves; she was in her training clothes which were tightly against her for better movement. She was breathing heavily, eyes closed, face flushed.

Jealous sparked in him, he had made her feel this way. Have a reaction to another man that wasn't him. "Snap out of it." He ordered, he shook her angrily. "..Watashi..." She breathed out her eyes opening half way, her blush getting darker, highlighting the pink glow her skin had. "Sasuke..-kun.." She whispered and reached to him; both his arms were holding her up as she reached. "Sakura-what are you-"

Her tug to make him stutter, her hands pushed him. "Don't talk Sasuke.." She whispered seductively. Anger bubbled in him, "Snap out of it!" He shouted to her and shook her once more. She chuckled and pushed him down with amazing force. "Quit being such a little bitch, Sasuke-kun." She whispered and pressed him down against his wounded shoulder, making his teeth clench in slight pain.

She kissed him then, pressing her tiny, curvy body against his firm, solid one. He had discovered he was hard when her soft part made contact with it. His cheeks flushed as he looked up at her. She was so beautiful, so perfect. He didn't want it to be this way, he knew she was beautiful, but that's all she was to him right? Just a pretty face.

"I don't love you." he ground out hard; she didn't flinch and kept rubbing up against him. "You think I don't know?" he asked licking around the corners of his nipple. "You think I can't grasp the fact that you don't like me." She spoke and leaned down to kiss his erection through his pants. "I bet this sickens you." She spoke looking to him, her eyes dilated and dark from their usually lime blue.

"You think I can't get it?" She asked as she dipped her hands in his pants, her peach skin shining off of the sun. "You think I'm stupid, that I can't figure out that you don't like me, that way." She asked biting his lower lip. He gasped when her hands surrounded his shaft. "If you've noticed, Sasuke-kun. I wasn't asking for you to love me back, I just told you that I do love you. I don't care how you feel about me." She spoke leaning in and sucking on his neck, leaving her mark there.

"I love you because you're cold, distant, beautiful... mysterious." She said and looked to him and gave him one hard stroke making him gasp. "You seem untouchable, violent and at sometimes creepy." She spoke nuzzling her face in his hair. "You don't believe in friendship, you take love as a weakness." She said running her tongue and slithering it inside his lips, sucking his tongue out, forcing him to kiss her back. He shivered, her touches and force, his mind traced back to that night.

"You close yourself; shut everyone out, even me. Especially me..." She said speaking into his mouth as she kissed him, his chest was heaving. "But you want me.." she whispered. "Regardless of what you say, you want my body more than anyone else." She said and ran her mouth over his ear, breathing against it. Goose bumps rose on his skin. "Why is that?" She asked seductively.

She faced to see him. "I've loved you ever since I was a child. I love you." She spoke and smiled to him, releasing him and stood up. "Itachi made me an offer." She spoke and looked to him. Sasuke stiffened. "He'd make me strong."

His eyes traced over to her body, she was horny as hell, and kami... she had forced him to experience the same thing. "You don't understand me at all Sakura." he spoke knowing that it would hurt her. To his surprise she smiled and nodded. "Perhaps i don't know as much about you as I thought I knew. I fell in love with your shell, a girly crush that I have to force myself out of." She spoke and looked to him.

"Itachi wants to have sex with me to hurt you." She spoke and looked away, the wind playing with her hair. "What do you say to that?" Asked Sasuke, facing Sakura as she tied her hair which had gone loose.

"I'd call him a fool." She spoke and stared to walk off, leaving him sitting there. He stood up and walked after her. "Why?" He asked, she stopped and looked to him. "You don't care about me, you don't care if I live or I die..." She spoke and looked to him, her eyes deep. He'd never seen her this way, serious... angry. She was beautiful... strong.

"You and your brother..." She spoke and shook her head. "Each of you have a share of my pity." She spat and walked on, leaving him to pack up their things as she continued on the journey. She was angry, again.

Sasuke followed behind her watching her quietly. "Lunatic wench" he whispered under his breath as he followed her among the trees, he noticed her movement change, she had always stood quiet and admired him from afar, he had to give her credit about he way she spoke to him, no other girl would have been so bold as to touch him, caress him or kiss him.

He started to think about how things would have been if his parents and family weren't slaughtered, would he have settled down with Sakura? Fallen in love with her? He smirked at the thought about it. Would she have loved him...if things were different? He tried to ignore his jealousy at his next thought but, 'Would she have fallen in love with my brother and not me?'

As Sakura went on, she purposely held her breath within each jump. Her throat was burning; she knew she was going to cry again. 'Damn Itachi...' She thought as her anger grew. 'Damn me for not being able to fight you.' She thought as she jumped another branch.

Her lack of mind made her foot slip on some slime from the tree, she fell back, before she could fall back Sasuke caught her. She tried to push away but he held her. "Stop pushing me away..." He spoke against her hair, turning her around and making her face him. "That's my job..." He said and leaned in and held her. "So stop it." He said softly, making her eyes widen slightly.

He was hugging her...tears flooded. "Bastard.." She whispered and held him tightly. "Bastard!" She shouted and cried into his chest, her fingers digging into his shirt. "What were you doing out here by yourself..?" Sasuke asked breathing against her hair. "I was training." She whispered, "To get stronger..."

Sasuke looked to her and smiled. "Well from what I see... it seems that you have to train a bit...more. Don't you think?" He asked. She let out a giggle that warmed his heart, made her seem weak... someone that he wanted to protect.

To Be Continued.
