Happy Saturday and I hope you enjoy this!

Hinata stared at the figure huddled by her door, hugging a bottle. With some careful observation she noticed that it was none other than Sasuke. He was sleeping which means that the bottle wasn't filled with water. She didn't know whether to feel sorry for him or to be angry that he came to her house like this. "SASUKE!" she yelled.

The Uchiha woke with a jerk, blinking a few times as he looked around. He then looked in her direction, "Hinata...you finally came." he slurred as he struggled to his feet, obviously still drunk.

"What are you doing here?" her tone revealing she did not want him there.

"I came to tell you to come home. I miss you so much." he'd say moving to touch her but that only made her back away.

"You're drunk, go home" she'd say moving past him as she looked for her keys.

"Hinata...baby please. It was a stupid mistake, can't you see that?"

The girl scoffed as she listened to him, feeling that surge of anger again. She wasn't in the mood for this. "Well now you'll have to live with that mistake" she shot back.

Sasuke dropped his head, realizing that it might be too late but he didn't want to admit that. In desperation, he rushed over to wrap his arms around her, "I'm sorry, I love you! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" he repeated, gripping her tightly. "Forgive me please, I can't live without you."

Hinata gasped when she felt him hug her, his actions now fueling her anger even more. "Sasuke stop it." Her tone was low and stern but he was not letting go. She started to struggle, which made her even more frustrated when she couldn't get him off. Tears started to form in her eyes, "Get away" she cried as she continued with the fight. "BYAKUGAN!" she whispered and with a sweep, she hit several points in his arm, making him stumble back. Once she was released, the air flowed back into her body. His touch was suffocating and it brought feelings of anger and pain right back to her. "What the fuck did you think was going to happen? You come here and beg me to come back and I would just do it?!"she shrieked as the tears streamed down her face. "Damn it!" she yelled covering her face as she tried to stop her tears.

Sasuke slumped to the ground, holding the arm that received its punishment. "So what's going to happen then? You fuck every guy in the village to get back at me? Think I don't know about Kiba?"

Hinata moved her hands to look at him, utterly confused at his words before rolling her eyes. "You...are...pathetic. Plus, even if I were to do that it would be none of your fucking business."

"Whore!" he yelled only to feel a hard smack come across his face right after. That hit was soon be followed by another blow.

"The next time you come back here I will sink a kunai into your fucking throat" she threatened, her voice cracking slightly as she tried to hold back her tears. She didn't want to cry in front of him anymore and for this reason she immediately spun around to head inside, slamming the door behind her.

Naruto woke from his slumber when he heard the annoying knocks on the door. It had been a long week and all he wanted to do was sleep in. He laid for a minute hoping the person would just go away but that didn't happen. With a groan, he rose from the bed to go open the door surprised to see who it was. "Morning, are you ok?" he asked groggily as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"Can I come in?" Sakura asked sweetly, eyelids blinking far too much for this to be a simple visit.

The blond sighed softly, as he had an inner battle about this but despite his better judgment he allowed her to enter the apartment. Once she was in he closed the door behind her and walked over to the couch to lean on it, "What's up?" he asked, really just wanting to her to tell the story so he could head back to bed.

Sakura sighed as she put her bag down, "I need a little...comfort." She strutted over to him, smiling as her green eyes locked with his. Her hands reached out to rest on his bare chest, one them moving in light circles as she moved a little closer to him.

"Sakura…" he breathed out, as if her hands had taken all of his strength away.

She knew what she was doing to him, he never once turned her down no matter how mad he was at her. "Shh" she'd say softly, getting on her tip toes to get to his lips.

He knew this was a bad idea...he knew it but he leaned down to meet her lips anyway. To resist her would be like resisting food when you're hungry...you just can't. She had manipulated him before but he seems to be love's bitch. His hands wrapped around her waist, fingers lightly tracing the curves of her body before resting on that sweet behind of hers. "Look at me" he commanded as he pulled away from the kiss. "Say yes to me Sakura...I will make sure you smile for the rest of your life."

Sakura looked at him before saying, "Yes" though it wasn't sincere. She just needed some comfort and Naruto always knew just the way to do it. He touched her the right way, said the right things...he healed her.

Naruto couldn't help but smile when she said yes and would lift her up, making those heavenly thighs wrap around him as he made it back to his bedroom. He dropped her onto the bed, watching as she landed with a squeak. "You won't regret this, I promise" he assured as he climbed on top of her. His lips joined with hers again, kissing her passionately as he pressed his body against her. He playfully pulled at her bottom lip before moving his lips along her jawline and neck, suckling and nibbling with all intentions of marking her as his.

"Clothes" she whispered and Naruto immediately understood. He stood up to get rid of his pants while she got rid of her shirt and bra.

He leaned down to kiss along her belly button area, grabbing the waist of her pants to slowly pull them down along with her underwear. He soon threw the pants to the side as though he was disgusted with them. Lust grew when he saw the exposed flesh that was before him, waiting to be feasted on. "Fuck yes" he whispered, spreading her thighs for a taste. He took his time, listening and feeling her body as he touched different spots. Naruto wanted her to feel that this...their bond was worth keeping. His member twitched with excitement at the fact that he would soon be inside of her. As a result, he moved slowly up her body, swirling his tongue around her bud, pulling gently with his teeth. "I want you Sakura."

"Then take me" she breathed, moaning with so much pleasure as she felt him slip into her. She gripped his back, digging her nails into his skin as she adjusted to his size.

The blond couldn't help but moan as well as he felt her wrap around him. It wasn't long before he started to move. He gave long slow strokes, holding her body as he stirred her insides. Their moans echoed through the apartment and hours seemed to pass with ease as they continued their passionate embrace. They soon laid in each others arms, trying to catch their breath. "That was amazing" she whispered. "I needed that."

"Well I'm glad I could satisfy you" he responded, leaning over to kiss her head.

After a few minutes, Sakura slipped out of the bed to find her clothes, "Thank you"

"Wait, where are you going?"

"I'm leaving" she'd say simply as she started getting dressed. "I have to head to the hospital. You didn't think I was gonna stay here and play in the sheets with you all day right?"

"Actually...I did" he replied leaning back against the bed, sighing softly as he shook his head.

She rolled her eyes when she saw his behavior. "I guess somethings never change" she whispered to herself before making her way over sit beside him. "I'll be back later." It was lie, but she didn't know when she would need to see him again and she wanted them to be on good terms.

"Ok" he responded, his tone flat and unbothered. Naruto watched as she moved away from him. It was surprising how easy she able to act as though they weren't making love just a couple minutes ago. Was he being dramatic? Is it too much to ask for a little intimacy? This was his fault. He already knew how she was but once again, he allowed her in. All he could hope for was that she would actually give him a chance this time.

Hinata woke up the next morning feeling drained from the night before. She spent most of the night crying because of it and her face was probably extremely swollen. After staring at the ceiling for what felt like an hour, it dawned on her that she was supposed to have lunch with Sai but she was not feeling like it. She leaned over to grab the phone realizing they hadn't even exchanged numbers, so now she had to show up.

After dragging herself through the works of getting ready, she headed over to the art studio assuming that's where he was since they didn't discuss where they would meet. She stuck her head inside looking around, spotting Sai busily drawing away at the counter, "Hey" she'd say as she made her way over to him.

Sai looked up with a smile before frowning as he looked her over, "What happened?"

"What do you mean?" she asked, playing dumb. Damn those observant eyes!

"I saw a little bit of your light last night and now it's gone. I see everything Hinata…"

Hinata felt slightly irritated by that fact because she didn't want to explain. It would be too hard and she would probably cry again. No one needed to see that. "That's annoying" she'd say out loud before covering her mouth.

"I know, I'm sorry. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Sorry for prying" he'd say sadly. It was obvious that he felt bad about his trait but it was something he couldn't hold back.

"I'm really sorry. I think it's actually great but what I...ugh how do I explain this? I guess I just hate that I'm never gonna be able to hide anything from you...emotional things."

He chuckled softly before reaching out to ruffle her hair, "You shouldn't try to...seriously, I'm a really good listener."

The Hyuga smoothed her hair out, letting a moment of silence pass before looking around to see if anyone walked in but then would look down. "I don't even know where to start."

Sai smiled as he watched her fidget. He decided it would probably be better if she was in more comfortable space. "Come on" he'd say as he grabbed his things before heading to the door. "Food always makes me feel better so hopefully it will have the same effect on you."

They walked through the village hand in hand. Sai obviously didn't see the people that were looking but Hinata felt every single eye. It made her slightly embarrassed but Sai being so nonchalant made her find comfort in the situation. She soon noticed they were walking on the outskirts of the village, more into the forested area, "Where are we going?"

"The best kept secret" he'd say looking back at her with a smile, giving her hand a squeeze.

Hinata smiled up at him before looking back to the path with a light blush. Soon a little place appeared. She thought it was fascinating, it fit right in with forested area, yet the sunlight hit it just perfectly. It was surrounded by cherry blossom trees, whose petals seemed to carpet the ground. The roof was made of glass while the rest of the building was made of different types of stones. When she was pulled into the place, it was decked out in wood with a sushi bar right in the middle and tables surrounding it. The staff was moving around busily, some cleaning and some making sushi.

"They do whatever you're in the mood for. I came over this morning and pre-ordered some sushi for today but you can get what you want if you're not in the mood for that" Sai explained.

She had to admit she was impressed with his planning, "Oh no, sushi is fine."

Sai finally released her hand to put his bag down and took a seat. He reached a hand out to help her up as well and soon the two were presented with water.

"How do you even know about this place?" she asked curiously as she took a sip from her glass.

"Well I'm always searching the city and one day I came across this place. You would think they get no business but people know about this place and like it enough to keep it open"

A few minutes later, the waiter placed two plates of sushi in front of them, "Wow" Hinata said as she looked in awe, grabbing her chopsticks.

"And they are quite generous with their proportions" he'd say with a chuckle as he grabbed his chopsticks as well. "So, now to the important stuff. What happened when I left you last night?"

Hinata's eyes widened when she heard the question and immediately popped a roll into her mouth. She might need to stop comparing him to other men because she swore he would have forgotten by now. Seeing that there was no escape, she swallowed her food and with a roll of her eyes she began the story. "My ex husband showed up last night. He decided to get completely wasted and was sleeping by my door."

Sai shook his head in disappointment before turning fully in her direction. "What happened after that?"

"I told him to go home...of course that didn't work" she'd say turning her eyes away. "He started begging me to forgive him. Even got touchy..it wasn't sexual but I still hated it. It was more like a tight hug. He did it as though he was going to force me to change my mind" she explained, sighing softly as she remembered it. "I teared up when he grabbed me like that...I felt those feelings of anger and pain come back to me and I just...I felt like I was suffocating. It was frustrating."

He nodded in response feeling sorry that he didn't finish the journey with her, he should have went upstairs with her. Things would have gotten ugly but it would have been necessary. With the intention to comfort her, he reached a hand over to rest a hand on her shoulder, squeezing it softly. "Lets eat"

She giggled softly before turning to eat as well, really enjoying her food now that she was able to vent a little.

They spent the rest of their lunch getting to know each other. She actually learned that he was an orphan and the anbu took him. She didn't think someone with such status would be so artistic. There wasn't much to tell about herself because he probably already knew who she was, being a heiress wasn't a secret. Surprisingly, conversations with him were light and it made her let her guard down which was something she hadn't done for a while now. She felt as though she could trust him but she wouldn't get carried away with that thought.

After they left the restaurant, they ventured further into the forest and soon ran into a lake. They decided to stay for a little while. Sai, of course, pulled out his sketch pad and Hinata just enjoyed watching the water. The silence came and they allowed it to dwell, now was not the time for words anyway.

That evening Kakashi walked into Anko's place smiling when the strong scent of food flew up his nose. He made his way up the stairs from the office to the quaint little condo that stood above it, pleasantly surprised to see his lover standing over the stove. She seemed to be really concentrating because she didn't notice him so he walked over, wrapping his arms around her.

"Mmm, hi you" she greeted sweetly.

"Cooking huh?" he asked as he looked over the different items of food. To be honest, he didn't think she had this in her.

"I figured since you treat me so well, I could return the favor." she replied as she placed the spoon down before turning to kiss him.

He smiled against her lips, deepening the kiss for a moment before pulling away. "I'll be right back, just gonna wash my hands" he'd say before disappearing from the room.

"Long day?" she asked as she turned off the stove.

"Yeah, are you aware of all the shit that has been happening? I stopped what would have been a deadly fight between Kiba and Sasuke and it's all because of Hinata. Honestly, they're gonna rip each other apart" he explained as he washed his hands.

Anko couldn't help but chuckle from hearing that, "Naruto seems to be the most behaved of them all right now. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?" she joked.

Kakashi chuckled when he thought about that too, hopefully everyone will relax soon. As he was caught up in his own thoughts, he heard a loud crash. "Anko?" he called out before running into the kitchen only to see his girlfriend on the floor beside broken dishes. He rushed over to her side, picking her head up carefully to stroke her face, "Baby? Hey! Wake up! Please baby please!" he pleaded shaking her a little. "ANKO!" he yelled, which made her open her eyes.

"What happened?" she asked sitting up as she looked around.

"I dunno I came in here and I saw you on the floor. You scared the shit out of me. I want you to lay down immediately" he commanded, standing to his feet before crouching down to pick her up off the floor.

"Oh come on, it's nothing. I need to get your dinner for our romantic evening" she whined.

"Laying down with you will be romantic enough for me. We can worry about dinner later."

Sasuke sat on his porch, watching the darkness slowing cover the village. Cigarette in one hand and the other hand holding a bottle of liquor. He replayed last night over and over in his mind, dying a little as Hinata's words echoed through his head. The cigarette met his lips and he took long drag before downing some more alcohol, "I'm sorry" he whispered. The nightmares had become worse now, and sleep became more of a hobby than a necessary act.

He needed to try again...no...yes, "I don't know anymore" he spoke out to himself before taking another big sip. He needed to get busy. It never once occurred to him how much of a hold Hinata had on him. Of course he loved her dearly, but losing her was tearing him up. It was the equivalent of the day his brother murdered his village. He would never forget the emptiness he felt and how much he wished he could just die in order not to feel. She was the only one he had let in other than Naruto. He told her everything there was to know about him and she accepted him anyways. Sakura wasn't even worth breaking Hinata's heart. Her presence always made him feel less lonely and comfortable. He needed that feeling again...there's no way he's giving up on her.

Hey there, I'm curious to hear what you guys are most worried about with each character or with the story in general. I just love hearing your thoughts!
