The sun rose, giving Sakura a hard slap of awakening. She shielded her eyes and turned to her right, snuggling up to the other occupant of the bed. Wait; what other occupant? Her eyes flashed open to see Sasuke sleeping peacefully beside her, his arm lying over her waist, the other under her cheek. Sakura smiled to herself, brushing his bangs away from his face as yesterday replayed in her mind. She rested her hand on Sasuke's cheek, awakening him. His body grew tense but loosened once he realized who it was.

"You stayed."

Sakura kissed him on the forehead. "Of course."

"You know, you didn't have to…." Sasuke said, turning his head.

Sakura turned it to face her once more. Even though he couldn't see now, he used to, and she knew the act would call his attention to her; would let him know she still had something to say.
"Sasuke, have you forgotten? I love you; that hasn't changed."

Sasuke moved a hand to the back of Sakura's head.

"Show me." he whispered to her. Sakura's breath caught in her throat as she realized his request. She allowed him to pull her closer, and take a sip of her soul; for he already had her heart. He breathed in the moan the escaped her, pressing body to body, soul to soul, desire to desire.

"Sakura…." he whispered, trailing his hand down her arm, his lips down her neck, laying promises across her skin. A stomach's plead for food interrupted them.

"Damn…." Sasuke muttered. Sakura laughed. She sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed, leaning back to Sasuke's ear.

"Let's finish that later, eh?" she whispered, nipping his lobe. He snickered and followed her up in return.

Oh yes; we defiantly will.

Sakura and Sasuke had just finished their breakfast when Sakura looked up.

"Sasuke?"

"Hmm?"

"You know, we are going to have to let the Fifth know you've returned."

Sasuke stopped in mid bite and placed his chop sticks down with the food he was going to eat.

"… Yeah."

"Don't worry, Sensei and I are good friends, I'll put a good word in for you."

"'Sensei'?"

"Oh yes, Tsunade-sama taught me how to be a medical ninja."

Sasuke turned his head to a window, as if looking for something.

Sakura looked too. "Sasuke? What is it?"

He shook his head. "Nothing, let's go."

"Can you get there on your own?"

Sasuke paused. "Yes, I believe so."

They took to the roof, jumping from one to another, lighting on the Hokage's balcony. Sakura and Sasuke made their way to the Fifth's door and Sakura knocked.

"Come in."

Sakura lead Sasuke to stand in front Tsunade's desk.

"S-Sasuke?!?"

Sasuke turned his head in the direction of Tsunade's voice.

"Yes?"

"What are you doing here? Why aren't you at Orochimaru's?"

"I have no need to be."

"'No need to be'? What do you mean-"

"I have had my revenge." Sasuke cut off Tsunade, answering her all the same. A heavy

"You do realize you are a fugitive, considering that you almost killed a ninja, left the village without permission, and joined the enemy."

"Yes, and I accept all charges."

Tsunade sat in her ever-famous pose of leaning her elbows on the table and hiding half her face behind her folded hands. Sakura looked pleadingly at her past mentor.

"You are to stay under the supervision of a Chunin at all times and not to leave the village under any circumstances. Any violation of the rules will result in death."

"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune hissed to her friend, only to be silenced with a hand.

"Understood?"

"Yes."

"Haruno Sakura, I assign you to be his supervisor, you will not be assigned any missions unless under urgent circumstances."

"Yes."

"You are dismissed."

The two bowed and turned to leave.

"And Sakura?"

"Yes, Sensei?"

"You are here by an official medic-nin. I believe Hinata and the other girl wanted you to tell them when you became one."

Sakura looked at Tsunade with a shocked, but happy expression. She turned quickly and bowed once more.

"Thank, Tsunade-sama!"

Tsunade waved her hand and the two left.

"Tsunade-sama, Sasuke shouldn't be let out on the streets!"

"Don't worry; Sakura will keep him in check. I don't think Sasuke would do anything bad in front of her." Tsunade leaned back in her chair and chuckled. "No, definitely not."
