A/N - Hey all its been way to long, this is a short chapter but will hopefully be enough until I can get more time to write alot more! R&R plz!

Sugar and Spice

The morning seemed to come too soon for the young Hokage and his special bed guest. His hazy blue eyes traveled from the pastel pink hair to the cream peach skin of the kunoichi beside him. The scent of strawberries filled his senses as his fingers slowly drifted to Sakura's shoulder. Numbly, Arashi massaged it, hoping to wake her up gently.

After minutes of attempting to awaken her, he finally realized she wasn't waking up. His nerves overtook him as he kept poking her arms and calling her name.

"Sakura…are you ok…..wake up!" he said in a soft yell. His last attempt to wake her was in vain, but unexpected.

Her body disappeared in a grey layer of sheer smoke. By this, he was alarmed completely and to say the least in a state of panic.

"Sakura! Where are you?" He said jumping out of bed. "Sakura!"

No answer came to him and he was drowned in silence. 'Where is she, what if something happened to her…Ok don't panic there has to be an explanation to this.' Then it clicked. 'Kakashi…!'

Arashi slowly made his way around the house, still finding no Sakura. All though his guard was strong, it wasn't strong enough to comprehend the chakra signature in the house.

Swish

The Yondaime spun around to find a kunai soaring toward him. Wither it was from surprise or skill, he dodged it quickly. He reached for a kunai in his kunai holder, but rapidly realized, 1: He didn't have one on. ; 2: He just woke up so he wouldn't be wearing one.; 3: He had no weapon and someone was attacking him.

A 'crick' was heard behind him. In a moment he was on the floor struggling from under a very light weight. He felt thin arms around his torso and a cool breath on his neck. With the anger of being blind to the enemy, he used his strength to fight off the uninvited visitor on his back. Failing miserably came as a surprise after he heard the voice of his attacker.

"Gosh, why are you struggling so much, did you actually think I was going to hurt you?" an angelic voice filled his ear.

Arashi realized whose voice that was almost immediately. "Sakura…" he whispered.

She smiled, finally letting him sit up to face her. Cutely, her face came closer to his, while seeing him faintly blush. "Miss me?" she asked.

The golden haired man's eyes where wide with distant confusion, then replaced with seriousness. "Why did you throw that kunai at me? You should know I wasn't armed."

Sakura's smile quickly faded as her eyes sadness. "What are you talking about? I didn't throw a kunai at you, I just got in when you turned around…"

He blinked, "You didn't?"

"No, I promise. Does that mean someone broke in?" concern drowned her aura.

"Well…uh…"

"Arashi, are people coming after you? The people who hurt you before?"

"I don't know maybe, but for now on we should try to stay on guard."

"If hurting you is their intension then I agree, but what if they try to break in again?"

He raised his hands to cup her cheeks, "Don't worry Sakura, I won't let you get hurt, I'll protect you." He smiled.

Which was the exact opposite from what Arashi was expecting.

She huffed, "I don't need protection, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself, what I'm concerned about is you. You are in my care until you are one hundred percent better and if anyone is going to be protecting anyone, its going to be me protecting you, understand?"

"Sakura…I—"

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, but don't think I won't do everything in my power to make sure no one hurts you."

Her eyes softened after hearing his loving words.

"You do know I'd never hurt you, right Sakura?"

At the moment, Sakura didn't know if what he was saying was pertaining strictly to friend on friend protection or something more. All she wanted to do was…well, 'He's so adorable…'

Her hands covered his, which where still on her cheeks, as she pushed herself closer to his face. Their lips where so close that she could practically feel them touching. Both their breathing sped up as both emerald and sapphire eyes lidded themselves slowly.

Arashi couldn't take it anymore, he captured her soft pink lips with his own.

If he could think of only one word to describe the kiss they where sharing right now, it would be…passion. Yes, passion could be the only word to describe it. 'I can't believe I'm kissing her…this feels so…right.' The 4th cautiously licked the bottom lip of his beautiful kunoichi.

Sakura willing opened almost instantly, as their tough battled against each other, though occasionally being the bridge connecting their mouths. She could feel the weight of Arashi falling on top of her, which was perfectly pleasing to her.

Both hit the floor with a small 'thud' only stopping momentarily to breathe. This kiss was pure bliss to Sakura, she only wondered how it was for him. 'Is he enjoying this as much as I am? I've never kissed someone with this much delight…though I'm sure he has. After all he is a father, and you need a women to have a kid…I can't compare to Naruto's mother…' Tears threatened to fall, but where held back, 'I don't want to stop, but I can't do this to Naruto…'

"Nah…Arashi…' she moaned lowly, "Don't."

He blinked in confusion and set her lips/tongue free. 'Why did she say that!?! We where having a good time!!' "Sakura? What's wrong?"

Arashi was hovering above her, oblivious to the battle she was fighting in her head.

'I can't do this to Naruto.'

………………

'I can't fall for him…"

………………

'I can't want him…"

………………

"I can't stop…"

Tears sadly fell from her crystal eyes. Her hand moved behind his head, bringing closer.

"No…don't stop, never stop Arashi…" she spoke passionately while pulling his lips back to hers.

Arashi, was confused, but when he felt her lips on his again, it all melted away.

"So he survived?" a dark voice whispered through the Forest of Death.

"That, and he's shown us one of his greatest weaknesses." Another voice came

"The girl? What about his son?"

"His son is a weakness, but this girl can prove to be a nuisance, I suggest we dispose of her as soon as possible. Healing nin's are not to be taken lightly."

"Very well…kill her."
