Sasuke moved easily about the kitchen. He noticed Sakura had wandered out of the bedroom. She was smoothing out her clothes with short drunken motions. A small frown marred her lips as her finger-brushing hit a snag, causing him to smirk. "Just give me the coffee already." He laughed as she yanked the steaming cup from his hands, and she gave him a quick smile with her eyes over the rim of the cup. "So how is Konoha treating you these days?"
"Not too bad." Nodding her head, Sakura took another sip. "Not as bad as you." His statement was met with a raised brow. "So I hear."
With stiff motions, Sakura sat down on the closest available stool,crossed her legs,and placed her coffee on the counter. "Lee and I had our differences."
Her tone was clipped, but Sasuke decided to press further. "You had only been living together for a few months."
"I don't see why you're questioning it." The liquid stirred, her face never lifting from the chipped cup. "You seemed more than willing to take advantage of the situation."
A short laugh escaped Sasuke's lips. "Well truth be told I wasn't going to let Ol' Fuzzy Eye Brows stop me from having my way with you."
Black eyes met jade before Sakura began to chuckle. "I'm flattered that, while I was unable to keep you from going, I could at least be a reason to return. I guess we just don't have the right chemistry. Shame things didn't pan out the way that you had planned them.
"Yes well, few things have ever worked out the way that I had planned."
Sakura placed a guilty hand around his wrist, moving his body against hers. "Man plans: God laughs." He smirked and gave her hand a squeeze. Smiling sympathetically she placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.
"I guess things will never be the same." He sighed.
Sakura bit her bottom lip. Sasuke held his untouched mug. Kakashi opened the door.
