Sakura and Sasuke were called in the Hokage's office again.

"I want to suggest for Sasuke to live in Sakura's house but it's a transient stay. For a week."

"WHAT!" Sakura screamed.

'I was expecting this.'

"Sakura, it's better if Sasuke would stay in your house to fulfill both of your duties to Kioko better. And may I say that you two are going on well. So, what's the problem with that? And promise me that you would NOT lay a finger on her understand Uchiha?"

Sasuke nodded. He better keep his curse in tact or else he would wake up naked in Sakura's bed.

"Sakura, do you understand the situation now?" Tsunade asked. Sakura looked queasy.

"Don't worry Sakura, I would keep my curse and hands to myself." Sasuke smiled. Sakura blushed.

'GOD! I LOVE THAT SMILE!'

"Speaking of your curse there, I need to talk about that."

Sakura's house…

Sasuke placed Kioko at her crib as he gave her a bottle of milk. Sakura rummaged through her drawers and then she found something.

"Oh. I thought I lost it." Sakura mumbled. Sasuke sat at her bed as Sakura showed him something.

It was his old forehead protector.

"You… actually kept this?" Sasuke asked as she handed him the protector. Sakura nodded as she blushed and resumed on what she was doing.

"I thought I lost it but it seems it was inside one of my old drawers." She said, opening the most bottom drawer as she kneeled on the floor.

"What are you trying to find?" Sasuke asked.

"Something that would help you about your stupid perverted curse." Sakura replied as she pulled out a black scroll with a seal on it. Sakura placed her index and middle finger on the seal as it unwrapped itself and landed on her hands.

"Now. I want to ask you some questions."

"…"

"Do you want to take your curse off?"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"You mean you can take my curse off?" Sasuke asked. Sakura nodded.

"This is a jutsu I invented. You see, a few years ago, I strived to help you because back then, I still had feelings for you." Sakura said emotionlessly.

"You already told me to stop being an avenger. So what's the curse for? Besides, Orochimaru would kill me using this anyway." Sasuke said. Sakura smiled as she nodded.

"Now why do you wanna take my curse off?" Sasuke asked.

"I promised your mom that I would help you the best I can. And if your curse turns on while we're sleeping on the bed…"

"You mean we're going to sleep BESIDE EACH OTHER?" Sasuke asked as Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"Why? Is something wrong with it?"

"Nothing."

"Anyway, if the curse turns on. Something inevitable happens and you know what that is. And Orochimaru would kill you so I need to take that off from you as fast as possible."

'Sakura invented a jutsu? She must be smarter than I thought.'

"Could it take Neji's curse off as well?"

"Yep. But he doesn't need it. When the turning over ceremony happens, the curse would be lifted off him. And he said he would order the main house to do the same to the branch house to have equity on the Hyuuga household."

"I see. What risks are involved?"

"Well… I could die. It takes a lot of chakra to use this technique but I got help from someone (Mrs. Uchiha) and I think the chakra is enough."

"Someone?"

"Don't ask." Sakura said.

"But I would lose consciousness and you as well. But maybe you would wake up earlier than I would." Sakura added. There was a moment of silence.

"Sakura?"

"Yea?" Sakura replied, looking at the scroll.

"I noticed that your chakra has turned pinkish red. What happened? You also seem stronger than before."

Sakura stopped reading.

"It's nothing. So… let's start!"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! Don't worry!" Sakura said.

"We're going to do that here?" Sasuke asked. Sakura nodded. She pulled out a pouch and it contained some silver sand and poured some contents on the floor and formed a circle. She pulled out a chalk and drew some symbols on the side of the circle.

"Sasuke, take off your shirt and sit on the middle." Sakura ordered as Sasuke nodded. He took off his shirt as Sakura tried not to look at his body. She read the contents and then closed the scroll.

"Ready?" She asked. Sasuke nodded as she crawled towards him.

"Don't talk okay?" Sakura asked. Sasuke's heartbeat was rising and he had no idea what was happening. Sakura kneeled before him as she proceeded to hug Sasuke, her lips a few centimeters from the curse seal. Sasuke's eyes widened.

'Whoa.'

"Stop shaking." Sakura whispered, sending shivers down his spine. Sasuke tried his best not to shiver. Sakura was too much for him to handle.

"Hug me back." She said. Sasuke wrapped his arms around her. Sakura started to whisper something to the curse as the circle started to glow in a pinkish red aura. The curse started to turn red. Sasuke felt a jolt of pain as his hands scrunched up Sakura's shirt.

He felt some of Sakura's chakra crawl inside him through his hands.

Sakura continued whispering until the pain was unbearable. He started to breathe rapidly and Sakura was worried for him. Sakura was sweating and breathing rapidly as well. She felt herself weaken.

She placed her index and middle finger at the curse as it glowed to a much higher level and Sasuke screamed.

"A little longer Sasuke!" She muttered. Determination was all over her as Sasuke was now gripping to her shirt tightly.

"RELEASE!" She yelled as Sasuke screamed. The pain was like hell. Sakura was weakening fast, as she prayed for some guidance from Kami-sama and Mrs. Uchiha.

'I hope this jutsu works.'

And much to her relief, the curse started dissolving.

A few minutes later… everything stopped. Sakura and Sasuke fell unconscious at the same time. Making Sakura lie on top of him while Sasuke was still hugging her.

6:00 PM

Sasuke moaned as he opened his eyes. His neck hurt very much. He noticed a weight on top of him and found out that it was Sakura.

"Sakura?" he asked, his voice hoarse. He glanced at the watch at noticed that they were unconscious for about five hours now.

"Kioko!" he gasped as he carried Sakura in bridal style and placed her on the bed and glanced at the crib. Much to his relief, Kioko was still there. He smiled. He glanced at Sakura and felt that something fell off at the floor that they were lying in before.

He approached it and took it.

His eyes widened.

The Uchiha crest.
