I'd like to say that this is a nejiXsaku fic and I hope you do like it. But this also has a sasuxsaku in it. I'm experimenting with other pairings. Review and tell me what you think!

Mission & Affair

The lake looked as beautiful as it was when they first got here two weeks ago. Was it just two weeks ago? He hardly felt the days pass by. It felt like a dream, like everything was perfectly…perfect.

No other word to describe it.

Before this mission, he thought it would be anything but interesting. He smiled inwardly and gazed upwards, looking at the bright blue sky. It was only a matter of time before the boat gets here. He looked around, hoping to find his pair. "Where could she be?" he said quietly, walking back to the small woodhouse they used as their "home". He stared at the dusty path and again smiled. It's strange how reminiscing could make him smile.

Yeah, he remembers. She used to trip on this rocky path and she would blush, then he'll say she's so foolish, so careless…

She smiles back at him. He would carry her back home then. "Home…" he mused. Was he that comfortable with her? It was really a bizarre turn of events. Two weeks ago, he confessed to someone his special feelings. And his partner was a loyal lover.

Why did end up being together in this small village?

He could now hear small footsteps slowly approaching him. He smiled slowly. It has just been two weeks and he knew her every worry, fears, dream and her personality.

Turning around to look at her, he held out his hand. He knew she was cautious of tripping again. "Ready to go back?" he asked, actually hiding another meaning to it.

She stood there, long pink tresses being swayed by the gentle wind, her somber green eyes looked back at him for an answer. "Are you?"

He shrugged and took her hand, and while they walked back to the small house, he never let go. "It's been like a dream." He said, climbing up five steps towards their home.

He felt her grip tightened. "It's been great being with you." She whispered, taking another step closer to him. Their bodies were now inches apart and deep inside he wanted to hold her. Maybe he can make her change her mind they could make this dream into a reality.

"Sakura?"

She stepped back, trying to read his mind. He gave her a small smile. "Can't I change your mind?" Before she could answer, they could here someone yelling from the water. The boat has just arrived.

"Let me think about it."

His expression changed. Did he heard right? She was giving her a chance. "A-are you sure?" he stammered, eliciting a small laugh from her. They walked to the boat holding hands with wich he was walking before her, so he could cover their hands behind his back. Before reaching it, he had to let go.

"They're back!" Naruto exclaimed, giving them a big wave. Brushing back his raven hair, sasuke looked beyond the river and saw them.

Sakura.

She was back.

Reaching shore, Sakura looked back at his partner who looked out of space for a moment. His white orbs looked back at her then he nodded, jumping from the boat and helping her get off.

Sasuke watched them, unable to suppress a feeling rising inside him. Should he believe what he had seen?"

"Sakura."

He reached out for her hand, wanting to touch it since she had gone. Since everyone was talking to her partner, Sasuke took the liberty of pulling her into his arms. "Sakura, I missed you." He whispered into her ear, knowing she would blush.

At the corner of his eye, he could see them. How he wished he could be with Sakura… then she'll playfully pull on his hair and taught him a thing or two about being a sensible guy and-

"Ah Neji, don't they look nice together?"

Naruto's voice disturbed his little contemplation. "What?"

Naruto chuckled and placed his hands behind his head. "Them, Sakura and Sasuke. You know that guy haven't really been himself lately." Naruto grunted and continued, "He's been out of space since they visited you there."

His white orbs widened in suspicion. "Could he have seen us…" he asked himself, turning to look at Sakura who was now walking hand in hand beside Sasuke.
