Chapter 7 – Broken silence

p.s please make sure you check the authors note box after this chapter, thank you and enjoy!

Sakura was left all hot and bothered, alone in this big lush forest with nothing else but her own company. She couldn't believe what just happened, but the way her chest was rising up and down, and the way her body felt, she was in fact sure that whatever that just happened wasn't just a part of her daydream.

"Shisui of the body flicker, eh?" She laughed to herself, softly, before standing up on her own jelly feet. Sadness lingered under the façade of a soft smile she had on her face, she knew this wouldn't end well for her, a man his calibre wasn't someone she could ever reach easily.

Only a few days later, when the heat of the day was just loosening up, she walked out of the hospital at the end of her shift and to her great surprise she spotted familiar figure, propped up against one of the only trees near the hospital. Sakura couldn't help but feel surprised, she couldn't help but think what was the reason for his presence, yet she didn't allow herself to quicken her pace towards the Uchiha prodigy.

Shisui lazily straightened himself up at her approach.

He let his eyes run a quick scan through her body, noticing a very similar form from a few days prior. Long white lab coat, loose, red t-shirt, but instead of the black shorts that she wore last time, he noticed a pleasant change, she wore a black tight mini skirt instead. A very good choice, he concluded.

"What are you doing here?" she asked while looking around, making sure no one was specifically watching them.

"I came to pick you up, ready for another lesson?" Shisui couldn't help but tease the pink haired medic.

Sakura almost had a nerve to smack him, and her twitching eyebrow was a good sign of that.

"You know, Shisui-san someone could hear us." She said while giving him the most death-threatening glare possible.

"Oh, Sakura-chan don't worry, no one would think I'd be trying to de-flower our Hokage's precious apprentice. You are the strongest kunoichi after Tsunade-sama in our village, no one would think I'd be brave enough to try something on you." He said, waving it off as if it was a joke, a mocking smirk playing on his face teasingly.

Sakura was confused, she was torn between being furious and flattered. How one can say something so idiotic just in a few words? A deep sigh erupted from within her chest.

"That's still not a good enough reason to wait for me outside of the hospital." she replied, her voice firm, arms crossed over her chest as if she was trying to conclude an important point to him.

"Whatever you say, pinky." he teased again, his dark gaze meeting her furious green one. Sakura's brow twitched again, he really knew how to get on her nerves sometimes.

Shisui lightly brushed past Sakura, heading in the direction that was her apartment.

After a minute or so he turned his head back to face her.

"Coming?" He asked, one brow raised up as if letting her know he's indeed questioning her.

Sakura didn't answer, but he heard her footsteps becoming closer to his own until they were synchronised completely, she was walking calmly beside him.

They were casually walking for around 15 minutes and Sakura couldn't help but feel nervous. None of them were really talking, they were just walking in complete utter silence. The pinkette decided that it would be best to try and cover up her nervousness and silence with some pointless chatter, that always worked on Sasuke-kun.

She ended up telling him about an experiment on chakra transfer that she was going to perform on a patient in the next couple of days at the hospital. She went into such technical details that she couldn't believe that the older Uchiha didn't tell her to drop the topic or to just shut up completely, but then again maybe some of the Uchiha's were different, Shisui was no Sasuke, he was carefree.

It almost seemed that he was actually listening to her nonsense and she couldn't help but give him a small smile in return. Although he didn't talk back much she was still impressed that he actually had the patience to listen about all of the boring stuff she was bragging about.

Only a few more minutes passed, and they reached the entrance of her apartment. Her heart fluttered tiny bit faster and Sakura nervously took her keys out of her lab coat's pocket. Shisui was slightly amused watching her attempting to unlock her apartment's door whilst noticing the way her delicate hands were slightly shaking.

"Wanna come in?" she asked politely, slightly embarrassed, her previous annoyance long gone.

He replied with a soft nod.

After unlocking the door and letting herself and Shisui in, she started feeling even more anxious. There was a thick silence between them again and she didn't know what to say. In one word it was getting really awkward, at least for her.

She closed the door and took a look at the tall, dark man that was standing near her.

"Would you like a drink?" She asked out of nowhere trying to forget the real reason why he was here in the first place.

"I'm fine." He said, waving off her suggestion completely. Sakura almost cursed herself, why out of all the things he could've done he decided to decline her offer? Was he trying to make everything even more awkward than it was already? Those damn Uchiha's were getting on her nerves, that she knew for sure.

"Okay. Would you like to take a seat over there then?" She said, motioning her hand to the sofa in her living room. "I guess I will make a drink for myself." She shrugged.

Shisui could feel the nervousness radiating off from her body directly, but he decided to play along and took a seat on the brown sofa that was near him. You could tell he was clearly entertained with the whole situation that he himself had caused, and he decided that he would actually enjoy himself for a little bit today, teasing was in his character after all.

A few minutes in silence had passed and Shisui was getting slightly bored, he didn't come here just to watch Sakura make her tea.

A brilliant idea was born in his mind and he decided to act on it without thinking twice. The curly haired Uchiha swiftly rose from his seat and body flickered behind Sakura's back just a moment later. He snaked one of his arms across the thin fabric of the lab coat she had on, deftly pushing it open and moving to the hem of her red shirt, inching it up just so that his warm, hot fingers could press against the satin-soft skin of her waist. Sakura's breath hitched at the light touch, her heart jumping in her rib cage as he traced a path up her side. Shisui's lips slowly ventured off to the delicate skin below her ear.

"We certainly have more interesting things that we could be doing right now." His hot breath fanned over her skin, and she felt shivers running down her spine, any concentration she might've had long gone. "Mmm...what do you say?." Shisui murmured in his silky timbre, hot breath reached her neck. A sharp inhalation of air was her only response to his actions.

Allowing a rare, half-formed smile to grace his mouth, Shisui used his other hand to trace his fingers through her plump rosy lips as he said, "Let me help you, Sakura." Everything was becoming too much for Sakura to bear, and she couldn't believe herself, within a matter of seconds she was letting Shisui do all of these things to her and she couldn't even manage a proper response to any of his words. All she could do was give him a shy moan in response.

Teeth nipped at her skin, soothing it with a stroke of his tongue before a pained gasp could even manage to escape her. Tilting her head unconsciously to provide him more access, Sakura opened her mouth to finally say something cocky, with the intention to regain some ground in the situation, when his lips took advantage of the silent invitation she was giving him. And once again her shy moans, shaky breaths and gasps were swallowed by him and it was as if everything in this world only seemed to turn around against her. Shisui on the other hand, felt no shame or regret for his actions, this time as he rubbed his leg against her ass, his groin tightening at the shy moan that fell from her lips.

By the time she was able to finally figure out what happened, she felt as if there was not an inch of her mouth that his tongue did not explore, it self as if he was going to consume her from the inside out. A thought which brought more traitorous tremors to her sensitive body making her shiver, he swallowed another gasp of hers.

When long fingers traced the contour of her side, Sakura was startled from her pleasure induced haze, but then all of sudden she quieted when all Shisui did was trace the outline of her body from hip to shoulder and back again. A rhythm. Sakura felt as much as she was inexperienced, she could still cope with his rhythm. It seemed safe and predictable, to her at least. Two things that the leader of Anbu was not supposed to be, and he wasn't.

Shisui pressed slow, measured kisses against the soft skin of Sakura's mouth, keeping her concentration on one location instead of what his hand was doing. Gradually, inch by inch, the elite shinobi worked his hand down the subtle feminine curves of her flank until he came to the dip of her hip where he stilled once more before running his hand back up to her shoulder. "Are you comfortable?"

Sakura stilled, she couldn't bear it anymore so all she did was shakily raise her arms, wrapping them around his shoulders from the back as if asking for support or some measure of stability due to the sensations threatening to overwhelm her inexperienced body. She was confused, trying to understand how the atmosphere between them could simply shift in a matter of seconds and once she registered his question she knew there was no way back this time, she shouldn't stop herself into giving in to him completely. Something about him just made her realise she had a different side to her, one she would never be able to explore on her own.

Emerald eyes blinked owlishly, for some reason she wished she could see his dark threatening orbs. After another second, she surveyed the position of her body and blushing fiercely, she answered.

"As comfortable as I can get, probably?" her answer came out more like a question.

Another half-smile formed on the Uchiha's mouth. "Good."

There should have been a warning in the question he asked earlier, but Sakura's mind was too far gone already to realise the hidden meaning behind his words. The answer came in the form of strong fingers pushing against her already damp thigh, spreading her right leg out so that it curled around the outside of his thigh. The touch sent jolts of pleasure and desire straight to her groin, along with fluttering thoughts of fear. Sakura whimpered only to be gently shushed by Shisui, as he stroked the silky skin of her inner thigh, underneath her skirt.

Sakura must have involuntarily shut her eyes, for the second she felt the alien, terribly warm touch against her sex, and all she could feel was Shisui's fit body pressed against her own, she was pretty sure he was carefully surveying her reaction. To say it was horrible was an understatement. To say it was what her body so desperately needed was beyond the point of exaggeration. To say that she was enjoying it, was something she desperately wished to be a lie. But mental opinions didn't hold much ground at the moment. And so she gave in, curious to see what else this dark and seductive man could offer her.

Another hand of his caressed the skin of her back and side, lingering on the dip just above her buttocks and tracing idle patterns. A moment later Shisui used the same hand to gently secure a grip of her jaw and throat as he angled her head back to give him more access to her skin. He slowly inhaled the flowery scent that lingered on her long pink locks, the low messy ponytail she always wore was almost lose now and all he could think is that he didn't know how a woman with obnoxiously pink hair could be so fucking sexy and innocent at the same time, what a turn on that was for the leader of Anbu.

Ever so slowly, Shisui ran the tip of his finger over the soft, sensitive folds of her sex that were under her already soaked panties, never once taking his eyes from her face, watching every inhale and forced exhale, noticing the way her teeth would sink into her lower lip to try stifle her shy moans. That, he would not tolerate.

"Let me hear you, Sakura." He purred in a voice of liquid silk into her ear, her reaction becoming quite obvious by the influx of warmth slicking his fingers further.

Shaking her head with a shaky whimper, Sakura refused, even as her back arched to the point of breaking and she could feel something so hard and smooth against her own back. "I….I don't…"

Intrigued, Shisui decided to spread his hand out, palming her sex and allowing his thumb to search out the hidden bundle of nerves that would render her completely vulnerable against him. The resulting wail that escaped from the pink-haired vixen sent a subtle shiver through the Uchiha, his black eyes locked on her face as the emerald orbs seemed to be glistened with a lust-tinged haze. Another swipe of his thumb against her clitoris summoned another moan of hers, this time it was louder, ringing out in the small clearing of her apartment, but for his ears alone to devour and remember.

"What you want me to do, Sakura?" Shisui murmured remembering their last encounter, when she herself asked him to do something, so he languidly stroked the sensitive flesh between her thighs, lids falling to half-mast as he observed the quivering of her body as a result.

Of course, Sakura would have no idea what she wanted. It was a question of what she needed. But it was one of his tricky questions. He wanted her to ask for it, to acknowledge that he was the one that could bring her to experience her first orgasm in his hands.

The other hand of his finally left her jaw, moving down to cup one of her breasts whilst effortlessly snaking underneath her lose shirt, hot, long fingers hugged her small breast in the most pleasurable way possible, making her gasp softly. All Sakura could feel was her skin tingling from all of the excitement he was practically inhaling into her. She felt like she was on fire and this man was a fuel that kept adding to it.

Shisui was surprised again, only to find out that Sakura still had no reason to wear a bra underneath her clothing, his lessons teaching her nothing as she continued her antics without acknowledging the consequences that came with it. God knows why it made him so excited, but he couldn't help but grunt at the feeling of her soft flesh against his rough, calloused skin. She was wet and soft all at the same time and he was the first one to touch her like this, to touch her in places like this.

He noticed the small violet diamond glowing, it was glowing way harder than the last time they had one of their so called 'lessons' and he could see it starting to spread out a little bit further, the seal itself decorating her face in something akin to glittering markings.

Sakura's chest heaved against the red material of her shirt, feeling as if everything was spiralling out of her control. The heat was encompassing the entirety of her body, stemming from where Shisui had his skin against hers. And the sensation of his thumb where her own dare not venture was nearly enough to send her eyes rolling back into her head.

Shisui noticed that it was both too much and not enough at the same time for the pink-haired woman. Part of her wished he would stop because, they were practically strangers and she barely knew anything about him. The other was vehemently protesting against any interference. Warring with two sides of herself, Sakura keened and mewed helplessly as her brain searched for a way to deal with her disturbing thoughts.

"I want…you…to….s-stop…" Sakura whispered through clenched teeth, biting her bottom lip once again, irritated and thrilled at the same time, feeling that his gentle, slow ministrations did nothing but continue undeterred.

Licking a trail along her neck, the leader of Anbu paused to blow cool air across her skin, eliciting a shiver from the pink-haired kunoichi. "Why?" it was the only word that came out of his lips. If she could've seen him she clearly, she would've thought that he would've held a confused expression on his features.

But then again. Why? Why did she want him to stop? Maybe because it was becoming too much. The pleasure and sensation were reaching a peak she never discovered herself, it was one that had her body tingling and protesting against the hold he had on her. But then again, it might have been too much to experience all at once "I don't think I..I c-can't handle this much yet."

A full-throated laugh escaped Shisui, surprising them both, but Sakura more so as she stared up at him for the first time in a while, brows momentarily rising in confusion until he became very, very assertive.

"Alright pinky, as much as I'd like to finish up what I started I can't have you fainting from your first orgasm right on the kitchen counter, can I?" He said with a playful grin on his face and Sakura couldn't help but blush in response, typical Shisui.

"Might as well give you some time to recover." He purred into her ear one last time and slowly moved his hand out of her panties that were underneath her skirt, whilst letting his fingers brush over her one last time. Sakura couldn't help but gasp slightly at the feeling of his hand slowly retreating, her whole body was throbbing, she wished to feel his fingers touching her once more.

Blushing hard, Sakura squirmed, finally getting out of his strong hold. "I think it's a bit too much for one day." She said, in all honesty she could feel herself being dizzy, a busy shift in the hospital and now all of this as well. Fate had no mercy.

"I'll take my leave then." He turned around, and was already heading out for an exit. Sakura felt as if his words were colder than usual and she didn't like it, for some reason it bothered her in a way she couldn't explain. "Wait!" Sakura all but shouted, breathing hard after all of the things she got to experience today.

Shisui turned his head back to her, confusion written all over his features. Confused with herself she looked down, not knowing what else to say.

"I didn't mean to be rude, I just feel like I want to get to know you better before we do anything remotely similar to this again." She bit her lip and looked up into the abyss of darkness that were his eyes.

His eyes softened, and he turned his full body towards her. "Okay, if you insist." He simply said, and she couldn't help but give him a little shy smile in response.

"Stay for tonight, I'm sure we can find lots of things to talk about." She gave him an encouraging look, a kind smile changed the shy one.

Her green eyes widened when she noticed the smallest of smiles crossing his own features. "I'll let you have me for tonight then." She could've sworn to god she saw his dark eyes smiling softly at her and it made her heart flutter in a way she couldn't explain.

Earlier that day Itachi was heading through the hospital after coming back from his mission. Road that went through the hospital was a tiny bit faster to the Uchiha compound than the one from Hokage's tower, although, both of the buildings were located in close distance, so he decided to it was best if he wouldn't waste a lot of time going home. Itachi was pretty exhausted after being on another S ranked mission and all he wanted to do was to have a shower and fall into the comfortable sheets of his own bed.

Crossing the hospital, he noticed two very familiar chakra signatures which instantly made him question what was going on. He swiftly put his Anbu mask on his face and masked his chakra, hiding in one of the few trees around the hospital, as he noticed his older cousin with the pink-haired medic, the same one that was from his little brother's team. His dark eyes went wide upon hearing their conversation.

"What are you doing here?" he heard the pink-haired medic saying whilst she suspiciously checked for any other chakra signatures around the area, if he wouldn't have known about how precise her chakra control is, she would've noticed him already; thanks to his fast thinking he masked his chakra levels to match his surroundings in nature, he blended in perfectly.

All he could think was why in all of the places he would meet his older cousin and the pink haired medic together at the same time, having a random conversation. Just how were they involved with each other? Last time Shisui was talking with Itachi he didn't remember him saying anything in particular about the pink haired kunoichi.

"I came to pick you up, ready for another lesson?" he noticed his cousin teasing the younger woman and he couldn't help but think. Just what kind of lesson? Why Shisui would be training the pink haired medic? They are both from completely different fields. He thought, his eyes narrowing slightly through the slits of his anbu mask.

"You know, Shisui-san, someone could hear us." He noticed the pink-haired medic being nervous and furious at the same time, she gave a lot out with the way she expressed herself, truly a woman that matched Godaime Hokage's temper.

Itachi could only wonder why Sakura-san was so cautious of someone hearing them. Just in what kind of way were they involved? Itachi could tell something interesting was about to happen. So, he decided to listen into their conversation for a tad bit longer, his shower could wait a few more minutes.

"Oh, Sakura-chan don't worry, no one would think I'd be trying to de-flower our Hokage's precious apprentice. You are the strongest kunoichi after Tsunade-sama in our village, no one would think I'd be brave enough to try something on you." He noticed Shisui being slightly nervous as well, as he tried to brush off Sakura's doubts.

That one sentence was all it took to peak Itachi's interest to the fullest. For now, for all he could tell, they were definitely not going to train on their jutsus to one of the konoha's training grounds.

But then again, what other reason did they had to get involved with each other in the first place then? Sakura surely wasn't a woman that would match Shisui's taste, not that she wasn't beautiful or feminine enough. She had all of that, Itachi himself could agree on it, he seen the weak girl from his brother's team blossom into a feminine, strong woman, and he could only admire someone like her. It was only strange, as Shisui was the type to go for a dark, mysterious women, women that looked were similar to ones in his own clan.

He decided to write off the idea of them being involved in anything other than jutsu training, as he was sure Shisui wouldn't try anything on the Hokage's apprentice as he said it himself, but the way he nervously made the excuse was still bothering Itachi, making him think harder.

Itachi couldn't help but feel a bit bad for peeking at their conversation, especially in circumstances like this, but he couldn't help himself, after he noticed his cousin with a woman his interest peaked instantly. He always admired the way his older cousin was capable of talking with women freely, something he could never achieve himself, it almost made him envious, as Itachi himself was more introverted, whereas Shisui had no problems talking with other people freely, his carefree personality glossing over everything.

He was so lost in his thoughts that involved both his cousin and the pink haired medic that he didn't even notice them disappearing completely out of his sight. He decided that the tiredness caused by his solo high ranked mission got the best out of him, and with that in mind he decided that he will find out what was happening between his cousin and Hokage's apprentice later, his own exhaustion bothersome, but it couldn't be helped.
