Chapter 3: Lovebirds


Sakura yawned as she awoke, finding herself entangled in bed with Sasuke. She slightly giggled at his face. He looked more peaceful, with his lips slightly open. Sakura nudged him slightly, instead of loosening his grip; it only tightened it even more. Sakura struggled and jumped feeling him suddenly nipping her ear.

"I didn't know you were that anxious to see me…" he growled attractively. Sakura glared, simply got off and spread her wings. Sasuke got up with Sakura suddenly blushing. He was shirtless and only had on a clad pair of skin tight leather black pants.

"You don't need to blush just because I have no shirt on…" Sasuke said in a bored tone, throwing on a black silk shirt.

Sakura went to the bathroom and changed into a white loosely strapped ruffled satin dress that went up to her thigh and white heels. She tied her hair into a high ponytail and walked out of the bathroom.

She grumpily walked outside the door of his house and saw him waiting for her. They flew up to the gates to find their first mission to do. When they arrived, they saw Tsunade handing a scroll to a Hinata and Naruto. Naruto was smiling as Hinata looked very nervous. They flew away without noticing them. Tsunade then gave them their scroll.

"I trust one of the bastard's top devils will take care of my best angel?" she growled at Sasuke. He protectively snaked an arm around Sakura and smirked back.

"You two must get along for one month…if you want to stay together…fine. Otherwise, report to me. Now go on..."

Sakura bowed her head and flew with her mate reading the scroll.

"Our destination is to an area in the east. There we'll find a funeral. We have to soothe the people and collect the remaining soul in the body that's in the coffin."

"Fine with me. Let's just get this over with wench..." Sasuke said in a bored tone. Sakura glared at him and continued to fly toward the funeral. They arrived seeing a huge church. Sakura started to walk in suddenly feeling Sasuke halt.

"What are you waiting for?" she said waiting.

"I'm not welcome into such a heavenly place…" he said making her smile. She grabbed his hand and pulled him close. She then looked at him in the eye.

"Will you if I give you a kiss?" she said making him smile arrogantly.

"On the neck."

"Cheek."

"I'll think about it after you convince me with this kiss…" he said making Sakura smile seductively. She caught him off guard jumping into his arms, making contact with his lips. She slipped her tongue in feeling him willingly welcome her. Their tongues entwined with each other, feeling each and every cavern in their mouths. Sakura licked and nibbled his lips until he finally broke it.

"You win." He said making her beam.

"I didn't know that was all you could do..." she said in a teasing tone. He smirked making her frown.

"Oh…I could do much more…but if I did…I'd win." He said arrogantly walking with her. She pouted frowning and muttering things not so lady-like. They glided in finding people weeping as the minister prayed with them..

"Okay, we have exactly thirty minutes to finish before they take the body away for burial. You get the soul while I soothe the people. " She said determined. She cleared her voice as Sasuke flew toward the coffin.

After all this time, I never gave up
Never lost a single ounce of love
Knew we'd find our way back together
Knew our love couldn't deny forever

Baby, for just a little while
our lives took different roads
But we've always meant to be
Together, forever, at home

Sasuke swiftly summoned a crimson red cresent shaped sword that reflected past, present, and future. Sakura stared curiously as she sang the next verse.

You're back in my arms again
Back where it all begins
Back where you're loved
I can't hold you long enough
Back where you're meant to be
Back home here with me
Back where you always belonged
I prayed for this day for so long
Now you're back in my arms

I waited for so very long
I kept the faith and was strong
I knew God would answer my prayers
He promised the future we'd share

He said just hold on for now
He said don't give up
He said he'd bring you back
with our love and His love

The people started to calm down, a few smiled with tears falling out of their eyes. Sasuke chanted few silent words as the crimson sword glowed; He then raised it and sliced the air. A slit appeared in thin air, souls drifting within. He carefully grasped the shimmering soul and tossed it gently into the portal.

You're back in my arms again
Back where it all begins
Back where you're loved
I can't hold you long enough
Back where you're meant to be
Back home here with me
Back where you always belonged
I prayed for this day for so long
Now you're back in my arms

I can't wait for the day
when you don't have to say
that this time you can't stay
but someday

You're gonna be back in my arms again
Back where it all begins
A new life together
A love forever
Back in my arms for always
Back in my arms to stay
I just have to be patient and strong
And soon you'll be back in my arms

As Sakura ended her song the people were crying tears of peaceful joy glowing in their eyes confidently. Sasuke whispered a few words, closing the small portal. Sakura started to walk away, Sasuke swiftly catching up. They flew silently out into the skies, Sakura sighing. She laid on a feathery cloud and smiled.

"Well, we have two hours of some quality time." She said resting her head on Sasuke's lap.

"How was your life when you were alive?" Sasuke asked randomly. Sakura thought and smiled.

"I was a kunoichi...not the best. I was always so weak...the only advantage was my brain...academically and stuff. But never fighting..." she said softly. Sasuke listened letting her continue.

"MY name was Haruno Sakura...and I died while in battle. I fought for him... the boy that stole my heart...The one thing that relieved me; I got to see his cold beautiful face...one last time. I don't remember now, all I keep in mind is his piercing eyes that captured my heart the first time I saw him...I always told him how I felt, but he always put me down...and yet, I never let go..." she said smiling sadly.

"What was his name...?" Sasuke asked interested, and yet a bit jealous.

"I can't remember that well...He's now the past and I guess you're my present. My future…you never know until you get there!" She said brightly.

"So how about you?" Sakura asked curiously.

"I lived as a shinobi who sought for revenge against one man. I finally killed him after he killed my friends, Hyuuga...Shikamaru, and Naruto. I died after...My name was Uchiha Sasuke..." he said feeling her hand in his. He looked up seeing her face.

"Why don't we go, I think that's enough leisuring for one day...I think we're a bit late!" Sakura said speeding off with him back to their home.

Sakura flew with Sasuke hand in hand down below toward the black gloomy gates finding a fatigued Tsunade waiting.

"Where have you two been? You're late by an hour!" She yelled at them.

"Relax old hag...We're going..." Sasuke said passing her with Sakura shyly following him after bowing toward her teacher.

"Fine...wait a minute...OLD HAG? SASUKE!" she screeched loudly. She glared murderously at Jaraiya.

"What? He's actually right you know..." he said, unfortunately staring a perverted grin at her chest.

WHAM

"Idiotic pervert..." she muttered flying back toward the skies leaving a dizzy Jaraiya in the ground.


TBC...If ya can R&R, if you can't oh well
