"Are you okay Sakura? You look a little bit pale.", asked Ino, looking over to Sakura as they were sorting through some patient charts. "I'm fine, just a bit tired,", Sakura said as she continue to segregate files on the table."How can you be so tired, we just got here?", Ino now facing Sakura as she leans over the counter, and looks at her quizzically. She has been noticing Sakura to be somewhat off lately and she is worried.

"It must be the heat.", Sakura said lazily, still not looking at Ino. "What heat are you talking about? Its not even summer.", this time Ino is really worried as she leans over Sakura and touched her forehead, "I think you should have someone check you, I would if I could, but I'm only an apprentice." she said the last few words with a hint of sarcasm (she just couldn't help it). "Fine! I will, just get off my back." Sakura said, obviously very annoyed at this point.

Just then Shizune, walks over with more files to sort, "Are you girls making headway? I got more." She then dumps the load over the counter. "Say, Shizune-san, are you busy? Sakura needs to be checked, she seems under the weather, and I'm not talking about summer.", Ino said, ignoring the glare that Sakura is throwing at her direction (you know the 'if looks could kill' kind). "I said I'm fine!" with that Sakura abruptly stood and walks around the counter to leave.

Just then Shizune blocks her way, and softly grab Sakura's shoulder, "Whoa! Its alright Sakura, if you say you're fine, then you're fine," then she smiled. Sakura felt guilty, "I'm sorry, I'm just a bit on edge, I'm just not sure why, but I know I'm not sick.", just then she shoots another glare in Ino's direction. Ino then held both her hands up, "Okay, okay I get it. Gosh!", then turns around to walk over the desk and continue sorting files. Sakura then looks back at Shizune then smiled,"I'll be right back, I just need some fresh air to clear my head." Shizune smiled,"Of course, there is no rush with these files anyway." So then Sakura walks towards the exit of the Konoha Hospital.

As Sakura walked aimlessly, she found herself in one of the empty training grounds, the one where the original Team 7 had the bell test with Kakashi. She looks around and noticed that the training grounds is not only empty but it does not seem to be used that much anymore. She went over to a very old looking tree with overgrown roots protruding above the ground creating a sort of hidden flat cradle with just enough low hanging branches that gives an ample shade from the afternoon sun. She sat between the overgrown roots and leaned her head snuggly against the tree.

"What's wrong with me?", she asked herself, ever since they came back from the mission about a month ago, she feel very edgy. First of all, after their last night camping out on the woods before they reached Konoha, she felt like her whole body was "extra" sore. She could not understand at that time and dismissed it as just being tired, but when she got home after they reported to Tsunade-sama, she didn't only felt "extra" sore, but tender on parts of her body that shouldn't be. "Ah, whatever, maybe that "dream" was so intense and it manifested on my body", she said with conviction, "It has to be that, because what else could it be?". Then there was also that incident a few weeks back.

Three weeks ago…

After she finished her work at the Konoha Hospital, she went home and got ready to go out with Ino (actually forced to go out by Ino) for a Friday night of drinking and dancing, but shortly after they just had a few drinks she unexpectedly felt a mild electric shock to her neck that spreads throughout her body whenever she gets too "close" to a guy, and its not a pleasant feeling at all. Dismissing it as just the nerves, she continued drinking and dancing. When she had too many cocktails to drink and was coaxed to dance to a slow sensual music, the guy suddenly grabbed her hips from behind and began grinding her against his obviously hard manhood while they sway to the music. As she raise both her arms to lock around his neck, she felt the electric shock getting stronger, and it made her shiver.

"Ah, you like that don't you", the guy said as he tries to lick her neck. "No! Get off me!", and she tries push away from him, "Huh? What's wrong baby?", the guy asks, "You're feeling it, come on", he spun her around and pins her to the wall. He shoved his knee between her thigh, lifts her right leg, then grinds at her hard, "Oh yeah, you feel so good baby". This time she pushed harder, "I said get off me!", but with too much alcohol in her system she only managed to push his shoulder, but not stop his grinding.

At this point her skirt has already hiked up and she felt him struggle with his front zipper to free his very hard cock, "Stop acting like a virgin, I know you want this". It was then that she noticed that the guy has managed to stir her away from the crowd, and they were partially hidden in a dark corner with a partition. She could not stay focused, the electric shock that is coursing through her body has become painful, and being intoxicated as it is, it has made her weak, and Sakura is not a weak person. "Shānnarō!" Snap out of it!" it was inner Sakura. "Stop it" she said, then right then she felt the guy stop.

"I believe the lady said stop? So please stop while I'm still asking nicely", it was Kakashi. He had a death grip on the guy's shoulder, he looks calm but every word was laced with an underlying death threat and the aura he exudes is murderous. The guy suddenly raise both his hands, "Y-y-yes sir! R-r-right a-away sir!", he stammered, "Very good, but you might want to get that back to were it came from, not that anybody would even notice, since it does not look remarkable at all", just then all three of them looks down to his exposed cock, which is limping rapidly. The guy, redder than an apple and very ashamed by now, fixed himself. As he hurriedly turns to walk away, "I am!" Sakura said, he turned slightly, "What?" and then a slap across his face, "I am a virgin!"

"Too much to drink?" Kakashi said as they walked out of the bar. "Ah yes a bit too much, those sneaky cocktails! They all sound fruity and harmless!", Sakura declared. "Well It is meant to lure people and "virgins" into drinking more, to make them more uninhibited, make this place more lively and thus make more money", Kakashi said with an amused look in his eye and a slight smile on his masked face. Silence. "Uhm, thank you Kakashi-sensei", Sakura said with her head bent down in total embarrassment. "I-i was… I-i mean… I-i didn't…", she continued stammering.

Kakashi held one finger up to stop her from talking, then said, "Sakura, you're an adult, you don't have to explain anything to me, I'm your teacher not your father", when Sakura tries to speak, Kakashi motioned his finger again to stop her from talking, "However, I must say that never ever let your guard down when you are in a place like this, it's filled to a brim with in-heat guys, guys looking for a quick fix, a one night stand, fling etc, unless you're into that", Sakura shakes her head to convey she is not, "Good then", Kakashi approves. Another silence.

"Then why are you here Kakashi-sensei?", Sakura asked, "Me?" Kakashi points to himself, "I'm here to save damsels in distress" he declared. "Right" Sakura rolls her eyes in response. Kakashi then looks at Sakura intently and finally said, "You know, there is this Ancient Chinese Proverb, that says", Kakashi then tried his best impersonation of a chines monk, "Virginity like bubble, one prick, all gone". With that, Sakura felt her face blushed so hard she can feel it through the tips of her hair. Not giving her time to respond back, Kakashi laughed turned and walked back inside the bar, "See you around Sakura, and lay off the cocktails".

Present time…

After that incident, she tried a few more times to go out thinking that it could just be a coincidence, but it was not, every time she gets too close to other guys she gets that electric shock, and the closer she gets the stronger and painful it becomes. Even Naruto and the other team's boys can't even get too close to her anymore, and her friends are beginning to notice and thus creating a slight misunderstanding. Naruto is even saying that she only likes to get close to dead people because she works in a hospital, she did give him a very hard smack in the head for that.

"What's wrong with me?", she asked herself again. With a sigh she put her arms across her forehead over her eyes to block out the light, a little nap won't hurt, she thought to herself.

Sakura suddenly felt a presence hovering around her, softly enveloping all her senses in a sensual trance. She felt a tingling burning sensation on her neck, then a hand very slowly and gently touched her toes, then fingers traces upward through her legs, then it was ghosting over her outer thighs then made a beeline to the apex between her partly opened inner thighs lingering there a bit, up to her flat toned stomach, between the valley of her breast, and stop at the tip of her now hardened nipple, and felt a finger barely touching the tip stroking it repeatedly. At this point she does not realized that she was already whimpering and arching her back upward to feel more. The man above her smirked, and then she felt soft wet lips gently glide over her collarbone upward, then lingered to the part of her neck where the burning sensation is, then her jaws, to her left cheek, then nibbled her earlobe.

"Sasuke?", Sakura whispered.
