Yakuza

"Sakura…"

She looked up and saw him gazing deeply into her eyes. Both were drenched under the drizzle yet it didn't matter to either of them. In her eyes, he looked more attractive than ever. His hair was slightly damp and a bit flat but perhaps with all that gel, he still retained his spiky raven locks.

"Sakura…"

He repeated, moving closer to her. Sakura had her eyes half-closed and so did the man before her, who was clad in the same outfit the day she met him, the day he saved her from those men. When he was only a few inches away from her body, she began to feel weak in the knees under his intent gaze.

"…I love you…"

"Sasuke-kun…" she whispered and was pulled into a tight hug with his lips touching hers, then trailed kisses on her jaw line down to her neck where she moaned his name once again.

"Sasuke…"

"What?"

She blinked open her eyes and stared back into pools of ebony. Sakura raised her head and looked around the classroom; no one else was there besides her, seated on her desk and Sasuke in front of her, now standing straight.

"Kurenai-sensei didn't want to bother you, so she pretended you weren't asleep. Besides, she mumbled something about you being a top achiever and all so no big," he shrugged. "Oh and it's been fifteen minutes since the dismissal bell rang and I'm about to face Zabuza-sensei's wrath for going to the gym late, we have a practice game today."

"Why the hell didn't you wake me up!" she yelled instead of asked and grabbed him and then her bag then dashed out of the room and into the gym. "Next time, wake me up Sasuke!"

"Sorry…" he muttered. "You looked so cute…" he thought, blushing slightly when she moaned- er… whispered his name. "What the hell was she dreaming about? And why am I involved in her dreams? Ugh… forget it…"

Chapter 3: Weakness and Strength

It's been weeks since the classroom incident and a month had passed. Two months were left to wait for Ikichi to come back home. Normally, Sakura would be glad he'll be home soon but being with Sasuke alone made her feel more comfortable with or without her dad. With that thought and the make-out session appearing in her mind, she blushed and Sasuke took notice of this and pulled her to a stop. She nearly fell but he held her by the shoulders to make sure she doesn't fall.

"Hey, are you sick or something?" he asked, placing a hand on her slightly wide forehead. That action alone made her face all red and she slapped his hand away gently, shaking her head. "N-no, it's nothing." She muttered, walking off. Sasuke only stared at her for a while before following as both headed to the gym with an angry Zabuza glaring at the two.

"Uchiha Sasuke! You're late! Just because you're good at basketball doesn't mean you-"

"It's my fault sensei, I…" Sakura cut off. "…fell asleep and he just didn't want to leave me alone nor wake me up…" she whispered. "I slept late last night…"

"Oh." Zabuza said, finally calming down. "Of course, he's your boyfriend, it's only natural he cares," he coughed "Well then, Uchiha, get changed into your basketball gear and run ten laps around the court, do some warm-ups and then train with the rest."

"Aa." He answered and went to the locker room.

"And Uchiha..?"

He turned his head to him and Zabuza gave a smirk. "I think you have a few people here who would like to see you, again." Sasuke gave a nod and then went inside the locker room. Sakura turned to Zabuza and raised a brow. "Sensei..?"

"His old team from Jiyuuoka High." He answered. "I think his rival there has taken over as team captain and we are having a practice game against them."

"Do you think that's a good idea?"

"Yes," he answered and snickered. "I think it'll spark up the game." Zabuza turned to the door when a group of boys wearing the high school uniform for Jiyuuoka arrived, the new team captain leading them. Sakura made a double take when she saw the team's leader. He looked awfully a lot like Sasuke. "What the…?"

"Ah, Jiyuuoka High, welcome." Zabuza said and shook hands with their female coach, Mitarashi Anko. "Hmm, quite a hardworking team here Zabuza." Anko smirked. "But can they defeat the champion of all after five consecutive years of being number one?"

Sakura's eyes widened. "F-five years?"

Zabuza only laughed at her. "Just because you had two Uchiha brats before, now I see that not one of the brothers is here, so maybe we will win."

"I highly doubt that, it was a great loss for us when Uchiha announced he was transferring but we have a new ace and he's as good as him," she turned to the captain. "This is Sai, our ace and new team captain."

"So you're saying he's as good as me, Anko-san?"

The whole team of Jiyuuoka turned to the familiar voice of their ex-captain who stood there nonchalantly with his arms crossed, wearing a white sleeveless shirt and a pair of black shorts with two black wrist bands on each wrist.

"S-Sasuke-sempai!" a freshman gasped, seeing the one he admired being the one they'll be facing. Anko gaped then blinked away her shock. "Y-you transferred here?"

"I asked you first, sensei."

Anko frowned and gave a nod. "I do believe Sai here, has improved a lot since you left us, you know, I almost thought he was you after a little showdown from another school. If we're not going to win, then it's a tie."

"Wrong." Zabuza said. "My team will win."

"S-Sasuke-sempai, why here..? Of all schools..?"

The young Uchiha turned to the freshman and then to Sakura. "My girlfriend studies here."

The whole team looked at her and she felt uncomfortable with the stares shot at her. A nearby fan boy of Sakura came and cleared his throat. "I should warn you, keep staring at her and you might see hell…"

Sai gave a smirk to Sasuke. "So, she's your girlfriend?"

"Yeah," Sasuke answered, slightly narrowing his eyes. "Got a problem with that?"

"I just can't seem to take the fact someone answered a cold-hearted jerk like you."

He clenched his fists at this and glared at the new team captain of his old school. Sakura felt the tension and looked at Sai with furrowed eyebrows. "Hey, Sasuke isn't anything like that, you don't know him the way I do."

"How sure are you? He's been my classmate since kinder and he became my captain until he transferred. I don't recall him saying he has a girl, if he did, why didn't he just tell his fan girls back in Jiyuuoka so they'd stop pestering him?" Sai's smirk grew wider. "Sasuke, you love her?"

"No duh." Someone scoffed but was ignored.

Sai turned to Sakura. "Why don't you say those three words to her right here, right now." He turned back to Sasuke. "That is, if you really do, what if you're only using her?"

Sakura slightly flinched at that but she knew when to defend Sasuke, especially since it's only a cover-up. "You're wrong, he said he loves me many times and almost everyday! He calls me at night and says those words before sleeping; he's not what you think he is!" she blushed furiously while still angrily glaring at Sai. "Besides, who are you to doubt or question our relationship?"

Oh, that hit a spot, and Sai couldn't help but calmly look at her. "Shut up, bitch."

Before he knew it, a ball was thrown at his face and Sai staggered backwards a bit. He looked up to see Sasuke being held back by Lee and Zabuza. "Damn you Sai, to hell with you and-"

"That's enough!" Zabuza yelled. Sakura only stared at the scene wide-eyed. She's received many nasty words from others but the insult she just got from Sai made an impact on her. Although she admits she felt touched when Sasuke broke out in rage after that insult, that is, if he did it for her. She looked down, a sad and hurt look cast on her facial features and Sasuke's eyes caught it. Something inside him just snapped and now wanted bloodshed, Sai's blood to be exact. "You want proof Sai? I'll give you proof." He said, breaking away from the holds of Lee and his coach. He walked over to Sakura and circled his left arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to him, glaring at Sai. "I love her, alright, and I expect everyone in this freakkin' gym to listen closely to what I'll say," he faced Sakura and she looked up at him slowly, eyes wide. "Sakura, I'm not using you, I never loved anyone as I do to you, and right now, I'll swallow my pride for you, because I love you." And he lowered his head to her and kissed her lips right then and there, in front of everyone to see.

"Crap! I can't believe I said and did that!" Sasuke thought, running around the basketball court for another three laps. He was still blushing and mad at Sai who was shooting some hoops and glancing at him from time to time. Sasuke noticed this and smirked triumphantly at him which Sai glared at and turned away. "Heh, I still win stupid ass…"

Flashback:

Jiyuuoka High had just won a game against Konoha High and they were taking a break for a while and getting ready to head back to their school. Sasuke emptied the water bottle he had and turned slightly to a girl with pink hair. Unlike most of the girls in Konoha High, she was the only one who cheered for her team. The rest were more interested in him and Sai during the game instead of encouraging their own set of players.

"Someone caught your eye captain?"

Sasuke turned to the voice to see Kiba, one of the best point guards in the team. He had a grin that could match Naruto's and he was as annoying as the blonde but still a good friend and a dependable player in the team. "Not exactly," he replied turning to the girl who was now being approached by Sai. "What's up with Sai?"

"Oh, some guys dared him to ask the girl out, he's been glancing at her from time to time ever since the game started." Kiba explained before drinking water from his own container. "I think he won't be successful." He grinned. Sasuke smirked and shook his head. "Maybe," he said and glanced at Sai. "We'll just have to see."

They both turned to Sai who was walking back to them with his usual expressionless face. Kiba snickered and approached him. "How'd it go lover boy?" Sai only looked at Kiba then at Sasuke who raised a brow. "As usual, she's more interested in you."

Kiba spat the water and coughed then turned to Sasuke who looked as red as a tomato. He then laughed at his captain and vice captain. "Are you two born rivals? I mean, in basketball, you two always have a bet on who gets the most points, assists, rebounds and the likes, nw even in love? And what do you mean by she's more interested in the captain?"

"She said she's sorry to not go out with me and kept glancing at him, so I only assumed."

"Sai, you can't be serious, I mean, maybe she's just glancing because Kiba and I were looking at you two." Sasuke said, regaining his composure. "Let's just forget about it, coach is calling us to leave." He turned to the rest of the team who were talking to some of Konoha's players. "Jiyuuoka, assemble!" he yelled and they all bid their goodbyes and got ready to leave. He caught a glimpse of Sakura eyeing him until he was inside the bus that took them there.

End of Flashback

Sasuke smirked upon that memory. So Sai was probably jealous when he mentioned Sakura was his girlfriend but then managed to hide it by insulting her. "Still an asshole…"

"I can't believe he did that!" Sakura was sitting on a bench inside the gym, eyes not leaving Sasuke's running body. She still had a red tint across her cheeks and hasn't recovered from the shock he gave her. From his words to his actions, she was utterly speechless. "Still," she gave a small smile and continued watching as Sasuke made his final lap. He stopped when he was done and caught his breath quickly before walking to a certain corner to do some stretching. His eyes turned to Sakura who smiled and waved at him. He returned the smile and gave a nod before looking straight once again. "It would've been nice if he meant those words and didn't do it to keep his profile covered." She suddenly recalled how he looked at her two weeks ago inside the classroom when they were locked in. It made her shudder at first but as she kept replaying it, Sakura noticed that he looked at her not with lust or desire but with something else. "Was it love?"

Zabuza called everyone and Anko told her team that it was time to start the match. Two centers of each team bent down in the middle as Anko blew the whistle and threw the ball upwards. Waiting for the right moment, both players jumped and tried to get the ball. Sai's team got it and the game then starts.

In the beginning, they all had a conclusion of man-to-man defense and offense. Lee and Sasuke ran after Sai at the same time. When the thick-browed teen noticed this, he backed away and faced another opponent, a smile reaching his lips. "Let's see how good you really are, Sasuke-san!"

Sai now had the ball and was running to their court. Sasuke picked up the pace and made it to his side. Both locked eyes and glared daggers at each other as the defense player ran faster to cut Sai off. Jiyuuoka's ex-captain blocked Sai's path and attempted to steal the ball but held back. "Focus Sasuke, it's not yet the right time." He told himself and continued to eye the player's movements before him.

"They sure attract a number of people." Haku commented and Sakura looked up at him then around the gym. Sure enough, most of the gym doors were packed with people, most of which were Sasuke's fan girls and some were admirers of Sai. There were a few more who sat on the bleachers, occupying most of the good seats. Now, if there was an official referee and if the players were wearing their official jerseys, this would've been a real game. "No surprise there, before, it was Lee versus Sasuke if we ever have a practice game with Jiyuuoka, now, the spotlight is on Sasuke versus Sai." Haku stated, eyeing the two. Sakura could only nod and smile at this. She recalled during her freshman year how she was awed with Jiyuuoka's ace player, Uchiha Sasuke. Up until now, she's still captivated by him. "No wonder you looked so familiar when you saved me back in the alley."

It was nearing the end of the game as Sai managed a three point shot, making Sasuke annoyed that he was fooled by a simple fake. He turned to look at the score, much to his dismay, Sai's team was in the lead: 56-54 and there was only seconds left. A teammate got the ball and evaded a few people then saw Sasuke having an opening.

"Sasuke!"

Sasuke caught the ball that a teammate passed to him. He dribbled and ran as fast as he could, evading the players that got in his way. He was determined to win this, he's been bringing his old school to the top and that's what he plans in his new school even if he isn't the team leader. A tall forward blocked his way and he saw how bent and open his legs were. Smirking, he bounced the ball on the floor in-between the player's opened legs then ran to the right, confusing the other opponent on why he would take the risk of letting the ball go. He smirked all the more when he reached the three-point line. They needed two to tie and three to win but with only seven seconds left, he had to do that move. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Sakura cheer him on and he found himself more determined than before. Seeing another forward try to block him, he came up with the latest move he recently made: The Fake and Fade away shot.

Sai got in his way and he was sure that the new captain of Jiyuuoka hasn't seen his new move. He smirked and made a fake, making Sai believed he was going to shoot and jumped but only had his eyes widened when Sasuke jumped yet again. Knowing Sai's capabilities, when the boy reached the ground, he jumped again so Sasuke leaned back a bit, still having a clear view of the ring.

"Impossible!"

"See for yourself, asshole." And he released the ball as it went in the net, just in time as Anko blew the whistle to end the game. The score ended with a 56-57, thanks to the new move Sasuke came up with, Konoha High had won.

He was on the ground though, panting. He leaned a little too much backwards so he resulted on having his back hit the gym floor, Sai standing before him, as tired as he is. Sasuke had a smirk on his face when he saw Sai's look of disbelief. They both had been rivals yet always equal but this time, the Uchiha proved he was better.

"Sasuke-kun!"

The said teen sat up and turned to Sakura who ran to him and tackled the boy to a hug, making both fall back from the impact, her on top of him. He was too tired to argue so he just let a small smile when Sakura ranted on how great he was. He found her cute that way and he felt a feeling of being loved and acknowledged for his abilities. In Sharingan, no one, except perhaps his brother and mother, praised or told him of his good points. It was either they were afraid to even talk to him or they just didn't want to admit anything. Like Neji, Naruto and Shikamaru but he accepted that fact since they're his only true friends. He had worked so hard to make his dad notice him but the old man only said "I don't accept failure" all the time.

"Sakura, can you… let go now..? I can't breathe properly…" he gasped.

"Sorry Sasuke," she said, letting go and sticking out her tongue. He blushed since she was still on top of her and their faces were inches apart. He recalled their tongues wrestle each other a few weeks ago and he quickly pushed her away gently to not get tempted.

Sasuke, being a part of a gangster has been brought up to kill, if not, steal or recruit, or train or torture. Still, influence from other members about the opposite sex tend to get him tempted, especially since the girl right now is the target who happens to be the only one who has ever made him blush, weak in the knees, stutter and kiss her. Yeah, she was his first kiss and he wondered if he was hers and how bad or good did he do. Judging from her moans and how she pulled him closer, he thought he did well.

A smirk graced his lips as he leaned closer to Sakura's ear, his breath making her shiver. "I think this calls for a date, Sakura." He whispered and flicked her ear with his tongue, earning a blush from her. "What do you say?"

Sakura looked up at him with wide eyes, he had a confident smirk that was almost near to a smile and his onyx orbs had a look of mischief in them. She giggled and kissed his nose as he closed his eyes for a while before reopening them again, with a smile still on his lips. "You're such a bad boy Sasuke," she commented and leaned closer, her voice above a whisper as she neared him. "And I like it."

"Hey you two, stop flirting with each other and get up from the ground." Anko yelled, half teasingly and half threateningly. "Are you forgetting you're out in public, Uchiha?"

Sasuke shrugged and placed an arm around Sakura. "So? I love her right? I don't care even if we have to make out in public!" he grinned and got some of his fan girls fainting, crying and in-denial. Sakura laughed and leaned onto him when she felt his grip around her tighten and when she was pulled closer by him. "I'm not joking you know." He whispered with a smirk and again, he made her blush.

"Well Konoha team, congratulations for winning the practice game! You sure surprised us Sasuke, no doubt a genius for having thought of a move on the spot." Anko commented.

"I did it for Sakura." He said, grinning boyishly and all just shook their heads and smiled. "Hey Sai!" he called out to the new team captain who turned to him with an unreadable expression. Sasuke walked over to him with Sakura since he still had an arm around her. "I leave the team in your hands, I wasn't able to say that to you when I left, so," he extended his free hand to Sai "Take care of them okay?" Sai nodded and shook his hand. "I may be the new team captain, but you're still irreplaceable Sasuke, and if we do have another game, I say we give it our all, I can tell you were holding back earlier."

Sasuke smirked and Sai did so as both let go of each other's hands, making a silent deal. Anko sighed and smirked as well, placing her hands on her hips. "We're off, Jiyuuoka team, head home!" she yelled and they all went to the bus that took them in Konoha High.

Zabuza called for the whole team as everyone assembled in front. "Since we won this, I'd like to dismiss all of you early as treat! Now go and get some rest because tomorrow-"

"Zabuza-san, it's a Saturday tomorrow." Haku said.

"Oh, right, on Monday, you will all experience hell." He said and earned groans from his team. He snickered. "Alright maggots leave and have fun!"

Sasuke picked up his blue sport's bag and offered a hand to Sakura who gladly took it. While the few players passed them by, he placed down the water bottle and turned to her. "So, where do you want to go?"

"I'm not sure, why?"

"As I said earlier," he said, smirking. "This calls for a date; where do you want me to treat you?" she blushed a bit and looked down, slightly smiling. "Sakura..?"

"I… thought you were only…"

"No," he said and pulled her close to him, startling the girl a bit as he rested his forehead onto hers and gave a warm smile. "I'm serious, I'm taking you out."

"Okay." She said meekly. "Anywhere will do."

"How's pasta sound to you?"

She gave a nod and smiled sweetly. "That's sounds great."

"Alright, pasta it is." And he took her hand with his left and picked up his bag with his right as both went to his motorcycle. "Sasuke, aren't you going to change?"

"No, unless you want me to…"

Sakura giggled and planted a quick peck on his cheek. "I like you better like that," she said. Sasuke smirked and kissed her forehead. "You want me as the bad boy type?" he asked as they reached his bike and both putting on their tinted helmets. He started the engine and when Sakura wrapped her arms around his waist, she leaned close enough to her ear. "Yes."

He gave a nod and drove off to a nearby restaurant then parked his ride, failing to notice a pair of eyes following them. The owner of those eyes smirked and took out a communicator, brought it up to his mouth and pressed a button. "They left, heading towards a nearby pasta restaurant, probably near you."

"Roger that, follow when they're out of sight."

"Got it." And he pocketed the device and followed the two with his own ride. "For once, the idiot's idea is actually not so boring."

"Why are you taking me out all of a sudden?" Sakura asked, looking up from the menu and stared at the teen across from her. They had picked a seat near the window and started looking through the menu of the restaurant. "It's like you're really my real boyfriend…" she whispered. Sasuke looked up at her. "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" he said, a teasing smile on his face. Sakura blushed and looked back down on the menu. "Sakura, hey," she slowly raised her head to face him. "I just…" he stopped and thought for a while, scolding himself for almost confessing to her. "What's wrong with taking you out..? I mean… man I suck at this…" Sakura blinked and continued staring at him.

"Hey, tell me, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to take you out, judging from your status as daughter of the prime minister, I think you barely go out."

She nodded. "Yeah, that's why I'm not used to these things…" she blushed slightly. "Sorry…"

"None of that Sakura," he said, reaching out to hold her hands with both of his. He clasped them together and gave a smile. "You don't have to apologize, don't worry about it okay?" Sakura was unsure of her answer but she gave a nod none the less. A waitress came back and placed both their orders in front of them. Both had ordered some meatballs and spaghetti and a few garlic sticks to go with it.

"What would your drinks be sir, ma'am?" she asked, taking out a notepad as both thought for a while. "I think I'll have a cola, what about you?" Sakura asked. Sasuke gestured he'll have the same and the waitress went off to get their drinks.

"Dig in." he said and started eating as she did so as well. From outside, they were being watched by three teens; two of the same age as they were and one just a year older. One had a grin plastered on his face; another had a smirk while the last one had an amused smile. Sasuke, being one of the top members of Sharingan felt someone or more watching them. He looked outside the window from the corner of his eyes, his fork where spaghetti was halfway near his mouth as he squint, trying hard to see who was spying on them. "What if it was an enemy? If not, could it be dad's spies?"

"Sasuke,"

He turned his attention back to his date who tried to suppress a giggle. Sasuke raised a brow until she picked up a tissue paper and wiped the left corner of his mouth where a small bit of spaghetti sauce was visible. His eyes widened at the gesture and she only gave a shy smile, going back to eating her food. A smirk tugged his lips as he shrugged the thought of someone spying on them. "To hell with them, whether they're spying for fun or just for info, I don't give a damn; I'm enjoying my time here."

"He almost spotted us…"

"Maybe because your blonde hair gives away our cover, Naruto."

"Shut up Neji, oi, Shikamaru, help me out here."

"It's too troublesome, and aren't we here spying on him because you wanted to?"

"Yeah, but you two wanted to as well." Naruto grinned as they kept silent and continued watching their Uchiha friend having the time of his life with the target. "What did you report to old man Fugaku?"

"That he was trying to get the girl to like him so that she won't suspect a thing." Shikamaru answered. "I managed to convince him by saying that Sasuke is emotionless as ever and wouldn't feel a thing if the girl were to fall for him and he'll only betray her."

"I doubt he will hurt the girl." Neji said, seeing how Sasuke acted earlier in the gym and how he had kissed her in public and his sweet gestures to the girl. Hyuuga had once done that to his girlfriend, Ten-Ten and he knew for a fact that his brooding friend was indeed in love with the target, if not, even a slight liking was evident enough. "He never smiles like that."

"Guys," they turned to Naruto. "What if he's the one who falls in love?"

They kept silent for a while before Shikamaru sighed. "We cover for him, besides, he's smart enough to think of a plan to make sure his dad won't hurt the one he loves."

Naruto gave a nod. "Hey, let's make a vow,"

"Vow?" Shikamaru repeated questioningly.

"Yeah, if Sasuke ever asks us to help him, even if it means betraying the gang, we'll do it." Naruto looked at them with a smile. "He's my friend, our friend, and we're his only friends; isn't it that friends look out for each other and would do anything to make each other happy?"

Neji and Shikamaru exchanged looks before smirking at Naruto and giving a nod. "Alright, it's a promise then guys." Neji said and continued to eye the Uchiha through a pair of binoculars. He was standing up and offering a hand to the girl. Neji smiled to himself when Sasuke pointed at something on her cheek and when she reached to touch it, he quickly kissed her there, right near her lips. "He's definitely in love."

"Sasuke, what did you do that for?" she asked, placing a hand on the spot where the supposed "sauce" was and he just kissed her there all of a sudden. "Not that I'm complaining."

"Like I said, there was sauce there so I got rid of it for you." He joked, giving a sheepish grin and putting on his helmet. "Come on, time to go home."

"Already..?" she faked a pout and Sasuke laughed. "How's about I take you out again tomorrow? Will that be okay?" he asked, getting on his bike and starting the engine. Sakura nodded and got on as well after placing her own headgear on top of her pink tresses. Both then headed to the Haruno estate.

The guards greeted Sakura, welcoming both home as she gave a smile and a nod. Sasuke had to drop the act of the loving boyfriend to a bodyguard. He gave a stoic face and followed her inside. As personal bodyguard, wherever the "boss" goes, he goes, that was what Ikichi ordered him to do, except of course on other places in the house where she needs privacy. Sasuke smirked imagining him inside the same bathroom Sakura was taking a shower. Oh he knew that talking to some of the older guy in Sharingan, like Kakashi and Jiraiya and even his brother, would influence his mind to think of dirty and naughty thoughts but hey, Sakura did admit she liked him better that way.

"Oh dear…" he heard her gasp when he closed the door of her room. He turned to her when she looked down and placed an index finger below her chin. "I don't have anything to wear for the prom next week…" she whispered to herself.

"You need a dress?" he asked. She looked up and gave a nod. "I think I know a friend who can make one for you," he said and sat down on a chair with his arms crossed as well as his legs. "I can take you to her tomorrow, she's my friend's cousin and she ha a knack for designing clothes." Sakura beamed and tackled him to a hug, making both fall on the floor, in the same position they were in back at the gym after he threw the Fake and Fade away shot. "Ow…" he groaned. "Man, you should control your strength." He muttered and she only gave a giggled and lowered her head to his, kissing him on the lips and parted slightly. "Sorry Sasuke-kun."

He smirked and raised his head to capture her lips once again. He reached up to pull her head closer to his and licked her bottom lip, pleading to open it and when she did, he once again entered his tongue into her mouth, meeting her shy one. As much as both wanted to continue their little "moment", Sasuke's phone rang, alerting them that he received a message. They broke away for a while as he took it out of his pocket, Sakura trying to hide her annoyed expression but to no avail.

Her eyes noticed that both his and her phone was of the same unit and the same color. "Hey, we have the same exact phone!" she giggled and took out hers. "Ne, can I take a picture of you?" she asked with pleading eyes. Sasuke was lost in his own thoughts after reading his dad's message:

"Sasuke, why is it that one of my spies said you kissed the target in public? Are you falling for her? Emotions can't get in the way with the mission and you know that! I will NOT accept failure from my youngest son! You cannot let your feelings get in the way of our gang's success! To overthrow the government and prime minister, we must get his daughter! Do you understand?"

"To hell with you…" he whispered, lowering his head for his bangs to hide his angered eyes. Sakura blinked and stared at him, not liking the sudden mood change of Sasuke. She was wondering who he was referring to and was hoping it wasn't her. Wanting to ask yet something held her back; she just stayed still sitting on top of him while he was propped slightly up by his left elbow since his right hand held onto his phone. She noticed how he was slightly shaking and she wanted so much to pull him to an embrace but feared he might throw his anger at her or something. She decided to get off of him and when she was about to, his hand reached for hers and her whole body was pulled into his arms.

"Sasuke..?"

"No matter what happens, I'll protect you, don't worry and don't think that I don't care about you, remember that Sakura, I'll… I'll find a way…" she didn't understand what he was saying but decided to not ask about it. She just gave a nod and wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her head on his chest, feeling him tremble slightly but he still felt warm. "I will Sasuke…"

They're not aware of it but their supposed act is now becoming a reality, all thanks to that day Kakashi locked them up in the classroom, all thanks to puberty and their unstoppable hormones. Both are definitely in love and they seem determined to make their relationship come true. Only one thing was stopping Sasuke though, his mission, but right now, he wasn't so sure if he would carry on with the mission or not, he didn't know what were to happen but he did made up his mind that he won't let anyone hurt Sakura, not his gang, nor his dad, not even he himself.

To be continued…

Next on Yakuza: Chapter 4: Exposed Truth

He parted slightly away from her lips and smirked seeing her stare at him in shock, lips a bit apart. "You did say you like me better with a bad attitude." He reminded and licked her bottom lip as she gasped and he plunged his tongue into hers, not minding a few stares from the customers, including the Yakuza that was watching them. The waiter that took their orders approached them and was about to announce that their orders were here yet stopped when he saw the two making out. "Uh…" he said and sweat dropped when both still went on. He sighed and walked off, not wanting to disturb the two even though he knew it was rude to do that in public but hey, he was a part of the youth generation and most of the people inside were teens anyway.

A/N: Phew, and that's chapter 3! If you want me to post chapter four soon, take a guess on whether the Yakuza mentioned above is Sharingan, another gang or could it be Naruto, Neji and Shikamaru spying them again? If five are able to guess correctly, I'll post chapter four after the fifth guesser but if not, you'll have to wait for another week or two! Haha Just kidding! But feel free to guess!
