A/N: I do not own any of these characters...sadly... but because this is a fan net, I may use them in a story totally my own and orginal. Sasuke/ Sakura yep yep.

Oh Grow up already

Mrs. Haruno didn't seem to mind the fact that Sasuke had ' suddenly ' became intrested in Sakura, unlike her husband. Mr. Haruno had been eyeing teh Uchiha all night, and every time he did, he caught the glaring eyes of both Sasuke and Sakura.

" Sasuke, Sakura...may I intrest you in some desert ?" Sasuke looked at her as though it were some serious joke. Mrs. Haruno laughed as she walked to the kitchen.

" Actually, we should go. We've got so many things to do, Kakashi is lining up some new missions for us and we should pack " Sakura stretched as she stood. She kissed her father on the forhead and hugged her mother good bye when she came back. Mrs. Haruno insist that Sasuke hug her, and he shook Mr. Haruno's hand before walking over to Sakura.

" It was soooo nice to see you again Sasuke " Mrs. Haruno smiled as she bowed. Sasuke bowed back.

" Now I know where her daughter gets her great cooking skills " Sasuke smiled.

" Also medical " Mrs. Haruno pointed out. Sakura rolled her eyes and tugged on Sasuke's arm, pulling him towards the door.

" Are you sure you two can't stay for a bit longer? I can set up the guest room ".

" Mom, we only have one guest room ".

" I know, you two obviously are living together right? What would be the problem? " Mrs. Haruno smiled. Sasuke choked on the air he was breathing and Sakura nearly tripped over her own two feet.

" Umm...living together? No, no, no momma...you must be crazy ".

" Why?...so tell me Sasuke... my daughter a natural in bed? " Mrs. Haruno giggled.

" Okay, time to go " Sakura pulled a stunned Sasuke out the front door and down the street to a vacant park. She sat him down on the bench then sat next to him, putting her elbows on her knees and face in her hands.

" I am so sorry about that " she apologized sincerely. Sasuke had snapped out of his daze.

" I think I have something that'll make you laugh " Sasuke snickered.

" What? " Sakura raised an eyebrow.

" We can find out if your a natural in bed " Sasuke laughed again. Although Sakura did love to hear him laugh, she slapped him upside the head. Sasuke rubbed his temples softly.

" Didn't have to hit so hard ".

" Sasuke-kun...forget it " Sakura shook of the thought.

" What? "

"...this is only an act...at least...until you say its over " Sakura turned away from him before standing.

" We should get going...I wasn't kidding when Kakashi said he wanted to see us and... "

" You look nice ".

" ...we meet here anyway and...what? " Sakura turned to face him, he was now standing.

" I don't repeat myself " Sasuke stretched and stuffed his hands in his pockets. He glanced at the stars before looking back at Sakura.

" I'll walk you home...lets go ". Sasuke began walking in the direction of her house.

Sakura saw her door, they were approaching it fast. Well...this was considered a date wasn't it? Did that mean he'd kiss her once they reached her door? No...it was just an act...wasn't it? But he had said she looked nice...but then again every guy she knew told her she looked nice in a dress...But this was Sasuke Uchiha...it was very rare for this man to compliment you, never mind notice you. Sakura chewed her lower lip...he wouldn't...would he? The anticipation was killing her, but she didn't want to reach her door just incase he didn't. What an idiot she was being, she wouldn't face the facts. Sasuke was not going to kiss her, and this act was never going to become real...but what if she kissed him? Sakura pondered the thought, she could get away with it. All she had to do was kiss him and run inside, he couldn't follow her, and it was fool proof. Now all she had to do was summon the courage to kiss him. She watched as her door became closer and closer, like som sort of movie in slow motion. She walked up the two wooden steps and to the archway, the door leering at her. It was now or never, do or die. She unlocked the door quick, and half turned the doo knob. She pushed it slightly open, the turned around.

" Thank you for walking me home Sasuke " Sakura bowed. She waited for him to bow, once he did...she was his.

' Bow back...bow back! ' her inner Sakura growled. Sasuke took a low bow, once he did he felt tiny hands grab his raven spikes and pull him upwards. He only had a few moments to be confused before a set of lips crashed against his. Sasuke's eyes widend at her sudden boldness. Before he could even embrace her, she let go and broke the small kiss.

" Night Sasuke-kun " crimson colors rose to her cheeks as Sakura backed into her house and closed the door, once again leaving Sasuke stunned. Sasuke blinked many times before his brain could identify just what exactly happened. He turned around and began walking back to his house, his fingers on his lips the entire time.

Sakura was a bit nervous to meet up with Sasuke the next day. Surely he'd be mad for that...right? He was pretending while she was living out her fantasy...well...if she really wanted to live her fantasy, she'd just have to tell him three words, " Take me Sasuke ". He would...he was a guy after all. Sakura slipped on a white tank top and beige shorts, ones that showed off her well toned legs. She tied her cherry blossom hair behind her, slipped on some sandles and walked out the front door. She locked it behind her before making her way to the park. Kakashi...was early! What was this world coming to!

" Kakashi sensei! YOUR EARLY! THE WORLD IS GOING TO END! " Sakura screamed. Kakashi disappeared in a subsitution jitsu and was replaced by Naruto.

" Did I scare you Sakura- chan? "

" Yes...jeez, I thought the apocolipse was going to happen...Kakashi? Early? Mission impossible if you ask me " Sakura sighed as she sat next to the fox demon. Naruto stretched his arms high above his head before putting them to the back of his head.

" What time do you think Kakashi will actually show? "

" Noon-ish since its only seven now...how long have you been here? "

" Ten minutes...heya Sasuke " Naruto waved. Sasuke was dressed in a white shirt today, his Uchiha symbol on the back. His black pants ended at his ankles and black sandles on his feet. He looked up, eyes looming over Sakura for a moment then nodding a hello to Naruto. His eyes loomed once again over Sakura, enjoying the color her cheeks were beginning to turn. He sat down next to her on the bench and all three sat in silence. Sakura twidled her thumbs nervously, glancing every so often to the Uchiha. An hour they sat, then Kakashi sensei showed up.

" Sorry I'm late you guys...sorry, but our training has been canceled. Tsunade has requested to see all her ANBU and teachers...something's up " Kakashi caught the worried look on Sasuke's face.

" Relax Sasuke...remember...I promised I would protect all of you with my life. And I highly doubt its Orchimaru " he disappeared with a poof. Naruto sighed.

" He could have told us this earlier " he got up and began walking away, waving to his other team mates.

" S'ya guys ".

' No! Naruto! Now I have to deal with an angry Sasuke ' Sakura faked a smile as she waved back. She was worried she'd be left alone with him again and he'd act all...scary. Sasuke leaned back against the bench and stuffed his hands in his pockets.

" So what the hell was last night all about? " he asked calmly and nonchantly. Sakura stared at the ground.

" Wh...what do you mean? "

" You know what I mean ".

" Ugh...oh...the...ugh...kiss? "

" If thats what you call it ".

" Well...wh...what would you call it? "

" A pathetic excuse for a kiss " Sasuke shrugged coolly.

' Of course...I'm once again the pathetic annoying little Sakura ' Sakura thought sadly.

" If you ever kiss me again Sakura, at least do it right ". Sakura looked at him confused.

" Right? There's a wrong way ? ". Sasuke rolled his eyes, of course she didn't understand. She hadn't had the chance to mature as much as he had...right? Or was she just toying with him? Yes...playing dumb to not get in trouble. But Sakura didn't really know what she did wrong.

" What did I do wrong? " Sakura voiced, a little confident. Sasuke sighed in annoyance as he turned to face her. His reflexes quick, he grabbed her soft hair and brought her closer to him, his lips sealing over her's. Sakura gasped at his sudden actions, and was even more surprised as his tongue answered her mouth. Sakura's eyes drifted closed, her arms encircling around his neck, fingers entwining themselves in his raven spikes. Sakura thought she could die, his tongue...in her mouth. Sasuke tilted her head back, allowing him more access, he was getting ahead of himself. This was only an act, only an act...only an act...but to whom? Sakura wanted this to be real he knew,and he was trying so damn hard to convince himself that this was all just an act. But even if it was...why not have a little fun? He released her suddenly and stood up, thrusting his hands back in his pockets. Her lips were slightly puffy, her eyes aglazed.

" That...is the right way...I'll catch you later Sakura. Let me know when my acting skills are needed " he disappeared, leaving her all alone. Sakura got up and began to walk in the direction of her house. She didn't notice the sand grains on the wood. She unlocked her door and began to open it when a ' whoosh ' noise was heard behind her. Sakura turned fast, a kunia in her hand.

" Gaara? "

" Becareful Sakura...I over heard Anko...warn Uchiha, Orchimaru ' is ' in Kohona ".

" Why should I becareful ? " Sakura asked. Gaara looked at her, no emotion.

" Because you'll be bait if your not careful " and with that he disappeared. Sakura waited a few moments for the news to sink in...she had to find Sasuke and warn him. But where could he be!

Sasuke sat in a clearing in the Forest of Death. Probably the safest place to be, since it was so dangerous. Make sense? Didn't need to, its where he felt safe. In a clearing so he wouldn't have things sneak up on him. He focused on breathing at the moment, dividing his chakra to his eyes and other senses. Sharingan orbs opened, scanning the scenary.

" What brings you out this far Uchiha? " a all to familar voice hissed in his ear. Sasuke's eyes opened, his legs supporting him and allowing him to move fast. Orchimaru stood in front of him, arms crossed, a smile plastered on his chalk white face. His yellow cat eyes staring into the sharingan. Sasuke's heart began to triple its pace. He scowled at the ninja. Orchimaru's smile only widend.

" Enjoying your time being home Sasuke ? "

" Leave this place Orchimaru. ANBU will be searching for you ".

" Oh, I am leaving. But let me warn you first. Remember, you are not home. You are on a mission. Bring me the nine tail fox, I want to unleash his demon on the village. They deserve it. And before you may defy me " Orchimaru grinned wickedly as Sasuke was about to object, " If you don't do as I say...then I'll just let you kill everyone you care about using your cursed seal " Orchimaru extended a hand. Sasuke fell to the ground, writhing in pain as the seal spread through his body. He saw himself murdering Kakashi, Naruto...Sakura. Her still and silent tear stained face, cold and lifeless on the floor. Sasuke screamed in pain, begging it to stop. When he was younger, he fought the pain. But now, Orchimaru had increased it so much that if he tried to fight it, it would kill him instantly. Orchimaru withdrew the pain and walked up to the young Uchiha.

" You know your orders then...here...to make it fair I'll give you two options. Either you bring me the nine tailed fox demon boy...alive. Or...you bring me the head of the newest Hokage, Tsunade...choice is yours " and with that he disappeared. Sasuke stayed in a ball, shaking uncontrollably. He was so glad only he knew about this weakness...weak...no...he wasn't weak. This was just plain unfair. Sasuke sat up with much effort, powering down his sharingan. He stumbled as he began to walk out of the forest and headed towards Tsunade's office. He wouldn't kill her...but he would need to warn her. No matter how much he didn't want to admit he needed help...he needed help. He saw a shadow figure running in his direction.

" Sasuke-kun! I...its...important... " Sakura breathed, she'd ran to the pub, to his house, back to the park, and now here.

" What? " Sasuke asked meakly.

" Orchimaru...he's...here...in...the village " Sakura managed to breathe out.

" No, he's not...he's in the forest...go home Sakura " Sasuke commanded coldly as he walked away from her. He made it home, walked in, locked the door behind him. He didn't make it to the top of the staircase before he collapsed.
