Sakura was awoken with a startle, the next morning, when she heard a bang on her front door. She jumped up from her snuggled slumber underneath her blanket to glance at her clock that resided next to her full size bed. Surprised to find that it was only 6:00am the sun was has barely risen, who could be up this early banging on her door like that? Defiantly could not be Naruto awake at this hour you could barely drag him out of bed at 11am, or Ino who absolutely hated mornings as it made her rather moody, Sai was away on a mission, Kakashi=sensi would also most likely still be asleep before starting his day at the hokage tower.
Sakura cautiously walked out of her room and down the hall towards her front door that she then heard another bang emerge from.
"No way..." Sakura whispered as she felt the familiar chakra behind her door waiting for her to open.
Slowly turning the silver knob Sakura came face to face with Sasuke who was dressed in dark navy training pants and a black tank top that was half way zipped up in the front showing the bindings Sasuke wrapped on his chest, as well Sasuke also had bindings on his arms. The weather must have been a little chilly early this morning as Sasuke also more a black cloak with a hood for warmth. (***Outfit from when Sasuke fought and killed Itachi)
"Sasuke-kun what are you doing here so early?" Sakura question rubbing her tired green orbs.
"Hmph figures you would now just be getting out of bed." Sasuke responded looking at Sakura up an down where she stood in a faded yellow robe, Sakura blushed looking away.
"I wasn't expecting company this early." (Or at all)
"Get dressed, we are already going to get a late start." Sasuke stated bluntly to her.
"Wh-what do you mean?What are heading to do?"
"To train obviously what else would we be doing this early in the day?" Sasuke spoke with obvious sarcasm in his tone.
Sakura's feet crunched on the frosted grass as the two continued walking towards the training grounds. Sakura just could not believe it, she felt as if she was in complete shock. Sasuke has never invited her to train with him before nor has he ever showed interest in such a thing during their team spars. Sakura figured he only saw her as weak and probably did not want to waste his time with such a easy opponent, what was there to gain from that? Sasuke thought she was weak after all...he basically even admitted that day when they were genin and she gained the courage to ask Sasuke if he'd like to train with her. In response he scoffed and scolded her for bothering him when she should be getting stronger as she was even behind Naruto. Regardless of that being several years ago now, and she's gotten much stronger, it still came to her mind.
"Let's begin" Sasuke suddenly spoke, making Sakura wake from her thoughts.
Sasuke charged at her ready to strike only for Sakura to block last minute with her arms crossing over each other, bringing her leg up to kick Sasuke back which he easily dogged by doing a back flip. He charged at Sakura again as her fist came back full of chakra filled punch towards his face when she became distracted as Sasuke warm hand brushed against her thigh, then grabbing her fist and making her miss tremendously. Sakura slightly stumbled backwards and Sasuke disappeared. Looking both ways and even above to see where he would reappear Sakura then felt as Sasuke's warm breath was on the nape of her neck for only a second before he then Sparta kicked her forward. Sakura caught herself from the fall quickly turning around an giving Sasuke a chakra filled kick to his left shin. Sasuke grunted in response taking a jump back from her to gain space. The two came close once more and began using mostly taijustu with one another, practically dancing as their arms and legs would meet in kicks and punches. Sakura had sweat coming from her brow , no not from already being exhausted but for the fact that Sasuke's finger tips seemed to touch her everywhere. When Sasuke would land a hit on Sakura his fingers would linger in that spot momentarily primarily on her hips, waist, inn thighs, and jaw line. His touches made each spot tickle , bringing this warmth in her stomach, her heart beating as if she just drank too much caffeine and her legs like jello as she felt it was distorting her balance. Completely lost in lustful touches Sakura then gained a nice kick to the stomach sending her flying across the field, her back crushing the frosted grown.
"Your weakness is you're too distracted, focus !" Sasuke growled, as Sakura just barely dodged another hit from Sasuke.
"I am focused!" Sakura yelled back with determination as she sent a chakra filled punch to the ground to knock Sasuke off his balances. Almost succeeding in her plan, Sasuke foiled it by jumping into the forest trees where Sakura quickly followed. Face to face again they began sending kicks and more punches left and right , with Sakura losing, she tried one last chakra punch towards his jaw line but was ultimately distracted when Sasuke swiftly moved his face to the left of Sakura's neck and ran his wet tongue along her jaw line. Sakura moaned and closed her eyes, her body betraying her with shivers running up her spine and her legs trying to come together to relieve that tingle that formed in between them. This moment was short lived however, as Sasuke got his chance shoving her so her back was to him and kicking her down until she body slammed into the grass floor. Sakura, still in shock, laid there for a moment before her wobbly arms began lifting her off of the wet dew and on her butt. Sasuke landed next to her, with only a slight more heaviness in his breathing while Sakura was embarrassed as her breathing was quit heavy obvious that she was tired (And aroused). She felt those tears stinging them rims of her eyes, but would not let them fall in front of Sasuke.
"Focused huh? You get too distracted easy. The enemy will surely over power you if you can barely hold your ground like that. You must keep your mind in the fight now where else." Sasuke insulted.
Sakura wanted to defend herself but she knew it was pointless because he was absolutely right...the mere touch of Sasuke distracted her to where it made her look weak and this spar was just the proof. How would Sasuke ever find her strong if she couldn't even defend her self with simple taijustu? That smirk he had given her during the war when she smashed all the creatures was the only hoped she held on to that he did see her as a good ninja.
"You kept up well though, a lot longer than I expected., your taijutsu is good" Sasuke added, surprising Sakura. It was somewhat an insult yes but the main point she focused on was he complimented her as well. Afraid that he would simply call her weak and regret this idea to train flew completely out the window, in fact she wondered if he enjoyed sparing with her.
"Thank you Sasuke-kun, you did amazing, I hope to learn from this spar to be more confident with my blocks and attack in battle when mu chakra is low and I must use taijustu" Sakura smiled
"You just need to position yourself correctly." Sasuke then grabbed her arm pulling Sakura back on her feet in a swift motion.
"Show me you stance for when you are about to fight." Sasuke commanded.
Sakura took her stance, hoping Sasuke would approve.
"Almost." Sasuke then came behind Sakura, laying both hand on her hips and moving them slightly. He then took his right foot moving it between her legs to spread Sakura's feet another couple millimeter apart from each other. He slid his hand up her left arm forcing her elbow to bend more outwards. Sakura's body was once again betraying her, it felt wet between her legs and her heart thumped like a rabbits foot. She was melting so far into his touches that for a moment Sakura forgot that Sasuke was teaching her a proper stance for battle and not just seducing her.
"The trick is to regain this pose after you block every attack so you are ready to defend yourself, this will prepare your legs and arms for whatever attack may come at you. Whether its above or below"
Sasuke and Sakura continued these stances for the rest of the morning, and found that this spar was more challenging than before. Sakura had to fight hard to not lose herself every time Sasuke's hand swiftly touched Sakura in sensitive areas, ….was he doing this on purpose? Was he doing it to try and get Sakura to lose focus ? Or was he taking advantage of the situation to feel what she felt like? No no no clearly it was nothing and she was over thinking this. Sasuke had no reason to touch her in lustful ways, this was clearly his way of finding her weak points. Over come in her thoughts Sasuke got a good hit on her and flipped her on her back slamming the front of her in the truck of a tree. Sasuke mangled her hands tight together and she could feel him pressed against her back, She could feel his heaving pecks on her blades and his tight abs on her lower back, but what really got her blood pumping was the hard bulging pressing into her. Sakura didn't mean to but a small mewl escaped her lips as Sasuke pushed more into her back pulling her arms in restraints. This position was almost too much for Sakura but what made Sakura's eyes shoot open with fear was the sound of a thousand birds chirping and a bright light emerging from behind. It was just like before, when she tracked Sasuke down to assassinate him that day...her back turned towards him as he activated his chidori ready to strike her dead with no regrets.
"No! Sasuke please don't hurt me!" Sakura screamed, releasing herself from Sasuke's grasped and coming down to a sitting position with her hands covering her ears from the noise, slightly shaking, eyes tightly closed for the fear of what she'd see.
Sasuke inactivated his chidori realizing the spar at the training grounds was far over for her and she was somewhere else...somewhere dark in time. Yes Sasuke realized his mistake but not fast enough before he sent her back to a traumatic time in her life. Sasuke could act like the past was the past, but in the end he couldn't change the fact that he tried to kill her that day leaving her probably with some sort of post-traumatic stress from it as her life was almost cut short by someone she trusted. He intended to use the chidori on the tree truck nevertheless to scare her in what could happen if she did not gain focus.
With the chidori gone Sakura's trembling began to relax and she opened her eyes discovering that she was not where she thought she was but rather on that training grounds. Sakura turned her head towards Sasuke who was staring at her. His face no longer held his usual scowl but something that Sakura could no read.
"That's enough training for today, you should head home and finnish your paperwork." Sasuke announced and began leaving the training grounds with Sakura left by the tree...
