Chapter 7
When Sasuke looked at Sakura's lips, he found that they looked like they were thoroughly kissed. They blushed and slightly turned their heads. "Well, Goodnight Sakura." She blushed and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Goodnight Sasuke-kun" She whispered. "Thank you for giving me a chance." He smiled and hugged her. He buried his face in her hair and spoke softly, "You're welcome."
---2 YEARS LATER---
( I don't think I mentioned this but at the beginning of the story, they had already been through the Chuunin Exam and stuff.You know how Shikamaru the only genin to become a Chuunin. Lol ya that part. Well let's say they were all hmm age 14 then. Now, since 2 years past, they are all 16 or 17ish.)
Many things happened in the two years that pasted by. Sakura finally got Naruto and Hinata together, and they couldn't be happier.
She also convinced that Shikamaru and Temari to go out but she couldn't get anyone with Ino so the girl just latched herself to all the single ninjas.
(Ino still thought she had a chance with Sasuke, but Sakura made it VERY clear that only Sasuke and herself was meant to be. And no one could change the fact that they were together and nothing could break them apart. Ino, in my story, is VERY dense and thick-headed... she just doesn't understand... lol)
Ino then started to hate Sakura for "stealing" Sasuke away from her clutches. She became the same mean bully that she was before the first Chuunin Exams, when they were still genins.
But Sakura has come a long way from the timid little girl she once was. She could now defend herself and is very independent. Ino still gives her a whole load of crap, but Sakura doesn't take it personally anymore.
Now for Sasuke and Sakura, they are still going strong as a couple and as a team. They have overcome many difficult missions together and have prevailed over numerous obstacles from being a couple.
They are always together, think and thin. She melted his ice cold heart, and in return, he gave her the love she always wanted from him. They were the perfect couple.
It was spring and the flowers were in bloom. Sasuke and Sakura had gotten a house and were living under the same roof.
They were very much in love and both of them have changed a lot over the earlier period of time.
Sasuke had now upgraded to an ANBU and has gone on many difficult missions, but he has always come back to his girlfriend.
Sakura had also upgraded, but to a Chuunin, and was now studying to become a medi-ninja. Her mentor is the 5th Hokage, Tsunade.
So, that was the ermm semi-prologue. I guess that was to wrap up for about the 2 years that has gone by. I hope you enjoy this next chapter. Ja ne!
-
A young man and woman were sitting across from each other at a table, eating dinner.
The woman had long pink hair cascading down her back with gorgeous green eyes.
She was wearing a blood red kimono that was half-shoulder with gold markings on it.
The kimono was cut off at mid thighs and had red silk slits up to her butt. She also wore tight black shorts that were very short.
The man had blackish blue hair that wasmedium lengthand spiky, with pure onyx eyes.
He was wearing a Konoha shirt that was a basic black. He was basically wearing the same things he wore since he was a child, except for the shirt which no longer beared the sign of the Uchiha clan.
They were sitting contently until they were interrupted by one of Tsunade's messengers.
The ANBU shinobi said to Sasuke, "We need you to go on this highly difficult mission. It has to do with our new threat so it would be Tsunade-sama's pleasure if you could join the team and help destroy the enemy's plans on taking over Konoha."
Sasuke nodded but Sakura was thinking otherwise. "Wait just one second." The ninja quickly turned towards the feminine voice.
"What?" he barked sharply. "Doesn't he have a choice in whether he wants to accept the mission or not?"
The ninja thought for a moment and replied, "Sure, but Tsunade-sama requested Sasuke to go on this mission. It wouldn't be a wise choice if he declines."
Sakura raised her eyebrow and told the ninja, "Can we have a moment the think about this?"
The ninja nodded and responded, "Please give your answer to Tsunade-sama tomorrow, we will not wait for you and your decision." And with that, the ninja disappeared.
Sasuke and Sakura continued to sit there, eating their dinner as if nothing happened. But it looked likeSakura was about to explode.
A few silent moments later, Sasuke decided to break thetension in theair. "Why did you ask for a moment Sakura? I want to go on this mission."
"NO! I cannot allow you to go!" Sakura yelled at the man sitting next to across from her, while she got up as her chair fell.
He just stared at her, unmoving. She glared at him and slammed her fists onto the table. "Why Sasuke? Why do you do this to me!"
"Do what Sakura?" He said softly, looking straight into her green eyes. "You always pick the hard missions. Always choose the dangerous missions."
He sighed deeply, not wanting to upset her anymore than she already was.
"Sakura, I can handle them. I don't want those easy missions that I come without a scratch. I want missions that keep me occupied. Keep me on my toes. Missions that improve my skills."
Sakura crossed the room to where Sasuke was sitting and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, while placing her chin on his head.
"You are one of the strongest ninjas I know," She said in a softer voice."I just worry about you, that's all. Whenever you go off on the missions, I feel so far apart from you, and I am concerned that you will get hurt."
Her eyes started to fill up with tears and she wiped them away. 'I don't want to lose Sasuke again…' she thought.
She sniffed and pulled her arms away from Sasuke. He abruptly stood up, startling Sakura and snaked his arms around her waist, bringing her close to his body.
He rested his head on her right shoulder. "Sakura," He murmured into her ear, "Don't worry about me. I will always come back to you."
She nodded, but tears kept spilling out. Sasuke gently wiped her tears off her cheeks with his fingers and kissed her forehead.
Her head rested on his chest, and her breathing gradually began to be evenly paced.
She flung her arms around his neck and held on tightly.
"Oh Sasuke-kun. Please, don't leave me." He lifted her chin with one finger and smiled. He looked into her puffy, red eyes and blotchy cheeks and she looked at him warily.
"What?" she asked, wondering why he wasn't saying anything and was looking at her while smiling.
He lowered his head towards her and she closed her eyes, just as their lips met. Sasuke pressed softly against Sakura's lips, feeling the soft supple lips.
It was a tender kiss at first but Sakura leaned upwards, pressing her lips more keenly against Sasuke's to deepen the kiss.
He answered back by moving his hands into the back of her shirt, caressing her smooth skin.
They broke apart, their forehead touched while both of them breathing heavily. Sakura grinned while Sasuke held a playful smirk.
He soon placed soft, sweet kisses on everywhere on her face, while her cheeks showed a tint of pink.
"Oh Sasuke-kun I..." she said as she moved away from him and picked up a plate on the table and started to wash them at the kitchen sink.
"I would rather you not go on the mission, but if it means something to you, then I guess, you can go."
He walked to her side and started kissing her bare shoulders. Sakura closed her eyes and leaned her head back onto his shoulders.
Then she started sucking his neck lightly, leaving a mark on the side. She smirked and he captured her lips with his, laying her down on the table.
The other plates and cups that were still on the table fell to the ground but neither individual could care less.
He was kissing her shoulders with soft kisses while she was unbuttoning his shirt. He then traveled down to her collar and into the valley of her chest.
"Oh Sasuke-kun." she said as she moved her hands up and down his torso. He liked the way his named rolled off of her tongue and it made it even sexier.
He replied her with passionate kiss on the lips and resumed back down her chest.
She moaned loudly as Sasuke bit her shoulder, and sucking the spot after.
His hands were on her legs and they slowly worked themselves up until they reached her black shorts. He tugged at them and she gave a little gasp.
"Sakura." he whispered into her ear as he tugged on her shorts once more, sliding them even lower down her legs.
A knock on the door startled them both and they stopped from continuing their little game. "Who is it?" Sasuke shouted hoarsely, still refusing to get off of Sakura.
She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing him closer to her chest. "It's us. Naruto and Hinata."
"Ugh." Sasuke grunted as he gradually pulled himself off of Sakura and playfully raised his eyebrow at the sight of her.
Her clothes were half off and he just wanted to rip them all off. She pulled her shorts up and adjusted her other clothes while getting up from the table.
"I guess we have to answer the door." Sakura said, fixing her hair and walking towards the door.
Sasuke adjusted his clothes and took her hand. They walked to the door, hand in hand.
He opened the door to see Naruto's arm wrapped around Hinata's petite waist and her cheeks were a flushed pink.
She was still shocked at the fact that Naruto chose her over Sakura.
Well, she knew Sakura was very pretty, and she thought she couldn't measure up to her. But that was all cleared up and now they are close friends.
"Ohaiyo Sakura-chan and Sasuke." Naruto greeted them joyfully. He was wearing his bright orange jump suit with his Konoha headband.
While Hinata was wearing a off white kimono with violet designs on it. The kimono cut off just above the knees and had violet silk at the bottom.
"O-ohaiyo Sakura-chan and S-Sasuke-kun" Hinata stuttered slightly. Her confidence improved greatly but sometimes she occasionally stuttered when nervous.
Naruto scratched his head. "Do you want to hang out tonight? Grab a couple of drinks?" Sasuke growled. "We were in the middle of something dobe."
Naruto let go of Hinata's waist and held both hands up in front of him.
"Now now Sasuke. Don't get all pissy at me. I had no idea you and Sakura were so… busy tonight." He looked to see Sakura blush faintly.
"Well," Sakura said while grabbing Sasuke's hand, "I think we shall accompany you and Hinata tonight, right Sasuke?" Sakura looked up at Sasuke, and smiled sweetly.
Sasuke sighed. He learned to never disagree or make any woman mad, especially his sweet but violent Sakura.
"Oh alright." He said finally. Sakura peaked his cheek and started down the porch.
The foursome walked silently on the road until Naruto broke the silence. "So Sasuke, did one of Granny Tsunade's ANBU contact you this week?"
Sakura frowned. She didn't want to bring up this subject just now. "Ermm can we talk abo—" But Sasuke ignored her. "Yes. Actually, he told us and left just before you arrived." Sakura's frowned deepened and Hinata noticed that.
"Umm. Naruto? Could I talk with Sakura for a bit?" Naruto grinned at Hinata and replied, "Sure Hinata." Hinata then took hold of Sakura's hand and lead her backwards so that the guys were in front of them.
"Don't want them to overhear our conversation." Hinata voice hushed as she looked towards Naruto laughing and Sasuke sneering at him.
She turned towards Sakura and said kindly, "What's up with the concerned and angry face you suddenly had on when Sasuke-kun mentioned the mission Tsunade-sama assigned?"
Sakura sighed, knowing Hinata will gently persist until she got a good reason. "Well, I just do not think that it would be a wise choice for Sasuke to go on this mission. It could cost him his life." Hinata nodded.
"I know how you feel. I think the exact things about Naruto. But I know that he will pull through and not give up so easily." Sakura heaved another sigh and placed a hand over her neck.
"I know. It's just that… well. AHH! I don't know actually. I feel as if we are one and whenever Sasuke goes off on a mission, I have this pained feeling that something terrible is going to happen. I don't want that side of me to die... I cannot survive on just one side. I know it is a bad thing to think like that, but I can't help it!"
Hinata could see Sakura is getting frustrated and tried to sooth her. She placed a hand over Sakura's shoulder. "I know you feel that way, but try to at least be supportive of his decisions and trust him that he will come back."
"I guess your right Hinata." Sakura answered, walking towards the men in front of them. She turned towards her and smiled. "Thanks for listening to me, I really appreciate it."
"No problem Sakura-chan. I'm always here if you need me." Sakura nodded and the girls caught up with the guys and Naruto guided them to his favourite restaurant since he was a genin, Ramen Ichiraku.
After spending some time at Ramen Ichiraku, orders of sake and ramen were being passed around and everyone had their cups full to the brim.
"S-soo then… Shi-Shikarmandi's sike, 'oh ya… Ino can beez vice, but most of the frime she's a friggin BEEEEP!'…Hahahahahahaaa!"
Naruto slurred and laughed, taking a big gulp of the liquid once more. Sakura gave a half smile to Hinata who sighed. Naruto was drunk again.
He swung his hand in front of Sasuke's face and Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly. Naruto already had eight cups of sake and it was beginning to affect his speech and his ability to think properly.
"Okay Naruto-kun. I think that is enough sake for you. Time to stop now." said Hinata, who was care about her drinking and only had half a cup.
Naruto shook his head a lot and tried to say, "No, I want to drink some more" but it came out as, "Naow. I-I wanna t-to driinnnk samourrr…"
Hinata sighed and got up from her seat. "I think it's time we head home Naruto. Say goodbye to Sakura and Sasuke." Hinata paid for both Naruto and herself and helped Naruto get off his seat.
He nodded his head slowly and waved. "Braw. Bryee guyzz!" Naruto called as Hinata swung his arm around her shoulder and headed towards his house, swaying side to side.
Sakura giggled and shook her head. She had only two cups so she was still sober, while Sasuke had five cups of sake and he was slightly disorientated.
"Let's go home Sasuke." Sakura said, taking out her money and placed it on the table. Sasuke did the same and they both headed out of Ramen Ichiraku into the blue starry night.
Sasuke and Sakura were walking side by side, holding hands when all of a sudden, Sasuke stopped in the middle of the road.
"What's wrong Sasuke?" Sakura whispered as she held on tighter to Sasuke's hand.
He let go and she wore a confused look on her face. Then they heard another rustling in the branches then all was silence.
"Sasu—" "GET DOWN SAKURA!" Sasuke yelled as he ducked and covered his and Sakura's head. Multiple kunais shot at them and they jumped aside.
Their backs were turned and they heard nothing. Then, the couple heard a shrilled voice. "SASUKE-KUNN!"
