A/N: Ahh! Another short chapter, but hey! At least I am posting right? Don't worry my chapters will get longer soon, I just don't have the most free time these days. This chapter contains Sakura POV, and I am not sure how you are going to like it, or even rather I will do it much or even at all. But PLEASE read and review! I won't bite! Thanks!

Chapter 4

I fallowed loosely behind the rest of the team up the ridged mountain trail, the sun peeking through the feathered treetops, burning your skin and blinding your eyes. There was a thick smell of evergreen and dust in the air, the heart was smoldering. It had to be a hundred degrees out and we had been walked for hours. I could hear the heavy panting of Naruto and Sakura up ahead, yet I managed, even though my shirt was soaking wet and my hair was beginning to stick to my face and the sweat was making my skin itch.

I loved it. I knew I was getting a good work out, and managing just as well as Kakashi.

I began to pick up my pace, passing Naruto I could feel his eyes turn to me and probably stuck out his tongue or flipped me the bird. Coming up to Sakura a thought entered my head spontaneously and "oh", how I wish it hadn't. The dream. The crazy ass dream of me and her or her and me, or whatever it was. It wasn't a usually thing for me to have "those" kinda of dreams, though I have had them before, being a human being, it was never like that or with "Sakura." The whole idea of it was disturbing, and troublesome. What did it mean? Why would I turn around and start having dreams like that?

Sakura POV

It is so hot, I am not sure how much I can take this. Kakashi Sensei better have a good reason for having us out in this heat hiking a mountain. I could practically take my cloths of and ring a cup of sweat out of them.

I could hear steps coming up from behind, it knew right away it was Sasuke, only he could walk that gracefully and low in sound, passing me from three feet away I glanced up at him, he looked at me from the corner of his eye and quickly look ahead. I couldn't take my eyes off him. He too was soaked in sweat, not only could I see it, but I could smell it as he walked by. And no, it wasn't a foul smell, it was just the smell of "man" which gave a shiver down my spine. His black ebony hair was much limper then usual and far more glossy from the moisture. He now walked many paces ahead of me, hardly breathing, while I panted like a dog, I probably sounded disgusting, and looked it!

Suddenly I saw Sasuke, still walking, swing his bag to one shoulder and began to pull his shirt off.

'Oh no.'

Pulling his shirt of perfectly, almost like he was trying his best to be sexy, even though he wasn't remotely, (obviously he was born talented.) He then stuffed his shirt in his bag and headed up farther p the trail. My eyes didn't dare move from him. His back shone with sweat and every muscle and bone delicately rippled, swayed, and flexed from the skin of his back as he moved, it was like watching a symphony, every elegant movement of the cellists, violinist and conductor creating a beautiful sound and scene. I felt myself get a little weak in the knees as I watched him. He was so close yet so, so far away.

My face suddenly burned red and I pressed my lower lip out.

'What a jerk!'

'I can't believe how big of an asshole he was the other night! And here I am staring at him as though it never happened! Why am I always so passive? Am I always going to be like this? Trying to be considerate and give him a simply gift, guh, he probably laughed at me after I laughed. I must have looked like such an idiot. GAH! There I go again! I wasn't the idiot, he was the idiot!

"What a... ahh!"

Suddenly I felt my feet give way, as I had tripped over a rock falling downwards, I felt something grab me by the wrist curly stopping me harshly in my fall, and another something gently hold me by my free hand, steadying me. My eyes grew large as I looked slowly up to see a beautiful image of something, it seemed, I had never seen before. Sasuke held me up, his face looked sternly into mine, his black eyes shaded from the sun. I just stared, my lips parted. His hand still held me firmly by the wrist, hurting me, while with my other hand, he had his hand gently under my palm.

'...jerk?'

I was almost in a trance.

"Sakura-chan!"

I woke up.

Naruto ran to my side, "are you alright, Sakura-chan?"

I know realized Sasuke was removing his grip and touch from hands so I quickly stood on my own two feet and brushed off my knees.

"Yeah I am alright," I said sounding irritated.

"Cause boy, that could have been a real nasty fall, hehe," Naruto chuckled, "you could have tumbled all the way down the mountain and we would have had to go ALL the way down to pick you up!"

I didn't pay much attention, I suddenly then remembered. Yanking my head up toward Sasuke, "thank ya..."

He was already gone. Already about fifty paces up the path, his naked back the only attention he gave to me.

Lowly under my breathe I whispered, " ... you Sasuke."
