Chapter 3

Early in the morning, next day...

"YAWWWNN!" Naruto yawned really loudly as all of them were awake already packing up to leave. They just finished eating their breakfast, which Sakura made and, which Otaru complimented her again and made her blush. Obviously, leaving Sasuke sort of jealous yet mad at Otaru. Only Sasuke knew what happened last night and even Sakura wasn't aware that he was there.

"All set! Let's go!" Naruto shouted to everyone as he grinned and then slouched grouchily since he was still a bit tired. They all set off for River country. They were sort of far though, two more days till they reach it.

The travel was quiet. Naruto kept a good look out at what Otaru was doing. Kakashi was reading his perverted book, Otaru kept on gazing at Sakura once in a while and Sasuke and Sakura were just simply quiet. Then suddenly from out of nowhere, kunai and shurikens were flying towards them. They were all able to dodge it. (Even Otaru)

The enemy finally came out from were they were hiding. They appeared to be missing nins from various countries. Sakura was a bit worried for Otaru since she didn't expect him to be able to protect himself. She didn't know that Otaru was doing just fine on his own. He was actually able to beat 2 of the nins without a scratch. Sakura was paying too much attention to protect Otaru to notice this.

After they beat the nins, the 3 (Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi) of them were wondering how Otaru could have done all he did just now since he was only a civilian. They didn't even bother to ask. Sakura was just relieved he came out alive and in one piece. Otaru just standing there, acting like nothing had just happened.

They started walking in the same position as yesterday and went back to doing what they were doing just a while ago, but Kakashi only pretended to read his book, 'Icha-Icha paradise' to keep a look out on Otaru. The walk was quiet from then, not even Naruto spoke.

They often got attacked that day. Otaru took care of himself the whole time, while Sakura was busy trying her best to protect him, the charge. Once in a while, Sakura would see Otaru beat up some nins. She was quite amazed at him on how he beat them, he was too fast for a person like him. Now, everyone was thinking about how Otaru did all that fighting.

After hours of walking and fighting, they were tired so they decided to set up camp. Sakura cooked again, Sasuke got supplies and Naruto and Otaru set up the tents again while Kakashi read his book and leaned on a tree, as he always does while everyone gets the hard-working labor.

It was sunset already as they finished doing there 'chores'. They were all tired now because Naruto and Otaru always fought since they couldn't work along but Otaru was patient unlike Naruto, who kept on shouting really loudly that Kakashi scolded him because he couldn't concentrate on his book. Sasuke found it really hard to find the supplies they needed and Sakura was tired from everything.

Time was passing by fast for them and soon it was evening once again. They finished eating by then and decided they should go to bed so they all went in their tents already to sleep. That night was beautiful because the moon was out and full, the weather was fine and the wind blew at one direction so the trees and plants sway to follow its direction. It was just like the other night.

Sasuke stayed up again that night for two reasons. One: He knew he would end up waking up again that night, two: He wanted to hear Sakura sing again. (A/N: He likes her voice! Waaa!) Luckily for Sasuke, Sakura did from her tent again and sang. As she went out, she walked to a beautiful spot where the trees surrounded her and the moonlight beamed right above of where she stood.

Sasuke sat on one of the branches of the trees that was in front of her. She closed her eyes and started singing. (I'll leave it up to you to decide on what she was singing) until she sensed a familiar chakra near her. She opened her eyes to see who it was and saw Sasuke sitting on the branch of the tree. 'Oh my God, I wonder how long he's been there.' She thought as Sasuke saw her staring back at him so he jumped of the branch and landed on the ground.

"Sa—Sasuke-kun!... What are you doing here!" Sakura stared at him from a far since he was still a few meters away from her.

"I always end up waking up from my sleep because of my nightmares of Itachi. Then I heard a voice coming from here, so I followed it and ended up here." He lied to her but he didn't want her to know why he was really there so he didn't have a choice.

'So I guess he was here ever since I started. That's too bad for him that he couldn't sleep. I never knew that. I wish there was something I could do for him to help him somehow…hmmm…' Sakura was thinking of a way to Sasuke in order for him to sleep. The both just stared at each other as the wind came rushing by slowly and calmly making the trees. It was really silent for all you can hear is the rustling of trees. Sakura's face lit up.

"Ne, Sasuke-kun, do you want me to sing you to sleep? I mean, I'm not forcing you or anything." Sakura thought the idea was kind of silly but she tried her best to smile. She looked like she was about to cry though but she covered her face with some of her pink locks that were dangling near her face already. Sasuke thought about it for a while, 'I guess it won't be so bad I she does. Besides, her voice is beautiful.' He finally decided and answered with his monotone that hindered his feelings.

"Fine." He sat down and leaned on the tree behind him. Sakura walked closer to him and sat beside him. She started to sing a slow and relaxing song. Sasuke found the flow of the song really soothing and her voice was soft and gentle to the ears. He closed his eyes as the wind was blowing their hair away from their faces, behind them. Before he knew it, he drowsily but lightly, fell on Sakura's lap. Sakura stopped singing to see why her lap had suddenly felt something on it, and was surprised to see raven hair and pale skin laying there.

She tugged on a smile on her lips as she stared at the Uchiha dreamingly. She stroked her fingers along Sasuke's hair and putting them between her fingers back and fourth. She started singing again from where she had left of from a while ago.

They both eventually fell asleep at the spot on the same position, Sasuke resting his head on Sakura's lap while Sakura leaned on the tree, smiling. The wind swept by and the moon still shone beautifully , making it a bit cold yet the warmth the two shared swathe each other, keeping them warm and comfortable.
