Chapter 3 I've missed you…
For all you nice reviewers who waited with baited breath cough for me to update I am sooooo sorry X I've been quite lazy lately and been hooked onto a few books XD but ever since I stopped visiting the library I have been able to work on my fan fiction's : ) So yeah…oh! And due to a special request from iloveanime493 I will eventually add a Neji/Sakura pairing ) anymore special requests for other pairings just add it in your reviews.
In the last chapter…
Sasuke looked down
"If she doesn't mind…she can stay at my manor"
Tsunade smiled
Sakura looked away as the medic-nin tried to spoon feed her sloppy porridge with tidbits of herbs and assorted plants
The medic sighed impatiently
It had already been three days since Sakura had woken, and she had yet to speak ever since the fuel between Sasuke, Tsunade and the others
"Miss Haruno! It has already been the third day since you have woken and yet you STILL refuse to eat! If this goes on I will be forced to call in Tsunade to make you eat!"
Sakura turned her bandaged face towards the nurse, her lips pursed in a straight white line
Slowly and deliberately she shook her head
"OH FOR THE LOVE OF THE FOURTH HOKAG-"
"-and here is Room 34, Miss Haruno's room!"
Both the medic and Sakura looked up to the doorway of her room, their actions frozen at the newcomer as he turned to another medic nin with a brief nod of thanks
"G-Good morning Mister Uchiha"
Sakura jilted her head back to the medic nin, raising an eyebrow at her stuttering tone
Sasuke looked at the young medic nin with a shadow of a smirk dancing on his pale lips
"Good morning Hime"
Hime gasped in surprise, shocked that the strikingly handsome Uchiha had even bothered to speak three words with her
Her eyes widened, could Sasuke be here to ask her out?
She blushed magenta red as she quickly placed the plain white plastic bowl on the bedside table, slopping quite a bit of the porridge onto the table from her shaking hands
She blushed even harder at her clumsiness
"How has Sakura been?"
Hime's heart fell
So Sasuke wasn't here to see her after all…
"Oh…um…she hasn't eaten since you and the other jounin's, nor has she been willing to utter a squeak…" Hime took a quick disgusted glance at Sakura, her lips curling back slightly in contempt
Why did he come here for this little…worm?
Sasuke frowned
"I have not been informed of this"
He walked into the room, his steps whispering silently
Hime's heart thundered in her ears
He was so close that she could see the every strand of his soft dark hair swaying to the rhythm of his pace
He turned to face her and her breath quickened
The silence stretched between them
It was Sasuke who spoke first
"I would like to be left alone with Sakura, please leave"
Hime's heart shattered at his cool words
"O-okay…"
Ducking her head down, she made a quick run for the door, tears already pooling in her brown eyes
It was true…he truly was cold and cruel
With a muffled sob she closed the door quickly
Sasuke walked around the bed and sat where Hime sat earlier, his weight pressing down the soft mattress as Sakura faced him. She had not spoken a word since the whole tirade between the medic nin girl and Sasuke
Sasuke picked up the bowl and held it under Sakura's nose
"I know you're hungry" he said quietly
Sakura took a sniff and wrinkled her nose, making a face of disgust
Sasuke smiled and held a spoonful of the porridge to her lips
"Drink it"
Sakura frowned and turned her head away
"I don't like the smell of it" she whispered quietly, her small cracked voice floated into Sasuke's sharp ears
He almost dropped the bowl in surprise
"It does not taste too bad, I have eaten it before" Sasuke placed the spoon back into the bowl and gripped Sakura's arm gently, pulling her back to face him
"Give it a try"
Sakura hesitated as he scooped another spoonful and held it to her lips
"say aaaaaah"
Sakura smiled and opened her mouth slightly, uttering a soft "aaaah" in the process
Sasuke slid the spoon between her lips, watching closely as it disappeared past her soft petal lips
He smirked as her throat moved to swallow the warm mixture
"Taste's quite nice doesn't it? After you haven't eaten for three days"
Sakura nodded
Sasuke tried to pull out the spoon but she bit down hard, a small somewhat replica of a mischievous smile playing on her lips
Sasuke chuckled and pulled slightly harder, his black onyx eyes twinkling as she released the spoon
Scooping the porridge again, he held it to her lips and watched as she eagerly opened her mouth to the food, uttering another quiet "aaaah" in the process
And so the same thing repeated, him scooping the porridge and holding it to her lips as she opened her lips to swallow the delicious mixture
This went on for a time, the sound of porridge sometimes falling back into the bowl and the Sakura's sweet voice as she uttered "aaah" from time to time filled the small cozy room as warm sunlight filtered through the large window above Sakura's bed
At last, close to a quarter of an hour later Sasuke scooped up the last few drops and fed it to Sakura
She opened her obediently and swallowed the porridge quickly
"That's the last of it all"
Sakura nodded as Sasuke placed the bowl back onto the bedside table
"Why did you come here?" Sakura started at the sound of her own voice, the herbs from the porridge sweetening it back to its quiet and smooth tone
Sasuke cocked his ear, drinking in the soft trill of her voice
"You've been here long enough; the hokage and I have decided that you are ready to move to my manor"
Sakura shivered at the mention of Tsunade's title
"When will we leave?"
"Today"
Sakura's skin tingled at the thought of getting away from the nasty medic nin that had been "looking after her" for the past three days
"Can we leave now?"
"Yes"
Sakura made a small noise of joy as she restrained herself from bouncing on the bed
Sasuke watched her in amusement before giving her his hand and pulling her from the soft mattress
"Be careful" he murmured as she stumbled slightly, her legs shaking from the exertion placed upon them after having been unused for such a long time
His arms circled under her shoulders, holding her steady as she tried to stand firmly, her back molded against his chest as her pale pink hair tickled him under the chin
Sasuke stood silently, allowing her to get comfortable as he revered in the feeling of her butt and thighs pressing against his legs, the way the heat from her body sank through her hospital gown and through his black trousers, his breath speeded up slightly
Finally she spoke; quietly "I think I can walk now, thank you very much"
Sasuke gave her an affirmative squeeze and slowly withdrew his arms, watching closely as he drew back
Sakura stood firm
With a hesitant and unsure foot she stepped forward, her arms stretched outwards
Step…step…step…
With each step her small smile grew wider until finally it split into a grin
With a small laugh she turned back to him, her long pink tresses flowing around her as she whirled around
Sasuke smiled as he stood there, his skin still burning from where she had been pressed against him, and yes…he was burning down there too
Suddenly his eyes glowed as an unseen fire of lust licked at his onyx orbs, the thought of her moaning beneath him as she arched her back, how her breasts would perk and rub against his chest as she cried out his name in her pleasure…
Finally Sakura got over her excitement
Turning towards a medical cabinet she smiles
"Can we go now?"
Sasuke smiled and walked towards her
"Yes"
With that said, he took her hand and led her out of the room
Neither were aware of the pale golden eyes that stared at them from within the shadows
With a satisfied cackle it bounded away
"Itachi-sama will be pleased with my news…"
