AN: This one's SASUSAKU. I love them, I just can't help it! Though, I love NARUSAKU as well. But that's a new found love. SASUSAKU has been there since the very beginning.

His breath was slightly ragged. Hers was completely.

Sweat covered them both. She hoped he would mistake her tears for that.

Her heart seemed unable to slow, even several minutes after the act itself.

She knew he could her that.

She hated it.

Sakura was mildly surprised when the Uchiha didn't flee instantly after having finished.

She hadn't imagined it could go any other way.

Yet instead, he now lay beside her. Completely motionless, save his chest rising and falling.

She felt odd. His presence was nearly unknown. Almost completely foreign.

She fleetingly wondered if this was truly the boy she and Naruto had sought after all these years.

She realised that boy probably no longer existed.

Unease manifested itself within her.

But why? Why had he come? Why was he here?

'Sakura' his voice was so much deeper than she was accustomed to. She always forgot that he was a man now.

'Sasuke…' Her voice not above a whisper.

'You're uneasy.' He stated plainly.

Ah yes, she'd forgotten he was so good at reading people.

She didn't answer.

'Why?' he prompted.

'Why?' she replied, sitting up. Holding a sheet to cover herself.

She could not see much more then his outline in the darkness, but she knew he could see her every curve.

'Why what?' He answered casually.

'Why are you here?'

'You know why I came.'

'Just for… sex' She felt a small sting in her heart.'

'Sakura…' he said her name with nonchalance, like she didn't matter. His tone sounding almost mocking. 'Should there be another reason?'

She didn't answer right away, taking the time to let his cruelty sink it.

'No,' she finally concluded. 'But I wonder then, why me? Surely I'm not the only willing woman to sleep with you, Sasuke.'

He stood, moving to silently dress himself. She stayed where she was, listening to the stealth that existed even in his normal stepping. A true shinobi.

She had already accepted that he would not give her an answer. His appearance here tonight would only be a mild blow to her sanity.

Though, he'd been quite rough with her physically. She was sure she'd have some bruises to explain.

'When I think of doing… this,' his voice seemed to reappear out of nowhere, like him. He was suddenly standing directly above her. She'd not sensed him even move.

'The only one I think of is you'

The next moment, he was gone.

A small amount of joy seemed to appear within her. She suddenly knew this would not be the last time Sasuke would pay her a midnight visit.
