Sakura looked around; there had to be somewhere to hide. She could hide under the desk... but what if Tsunade sat down in it? She probably would... This was not a good thing.

"...and Jiraiya, I don't know what you're talking about, but you're obviously very drunk."

"But I saw it!"

"Sure... Why don't you go somewhere else? I've got work to do and I really don't need you hanging around all day."

Sakura watched in horror as the knob began to turn. She was frozen in indecision, unable to move.

Suddenly, she felt someone grab her arms and yank her up through a hole in the ceiling. Dust from disturbing the ceiling panels shot up and she sneezed. A hand went in front of her mouth and a familiar, male voice shot at her, "Shhhh... she'll hear you."

Her eyes followed the arm up to its respective face and Sasuke's dark eyes greeted her. He nodded to his left and began to crawl away in the low hollow between floors. Sakura followed, leaving behind Tsunade's angry voice.

What's Sasuke doing up here? She wondered. Hmmm... Does this mean he's been affected by the potion? She wondered this as she followed him, as the dusty panels made way to a small room. There was a beanbag chair, a peephole, and a stack of books and scrolls. Sasuke walked into it and stood up, stretching.

"You should be more careful, Sakura." he said as he dropped down onto the beanbag chair, casting her a kind smile. Sakura clambered into the small room and looked around.

"What is this?"

He shrugged. "It's where I go to hide from stalkers and stuff. Figured it'd work just as well for you as it does for me."

Sakura looked at him. So far, no hitting on her, but he was being nice. For once. She saw some light out of the corner of her eye and walked over to the wall it was coming from. There was a small hole in the wall which she peeked out of.

Outside, she could see a battered looking Ebisu leading away an even more battered group of children. She sighed to herself. Looks like they made the distraction too hardcore... She turned around and opened her mouth to speak to Sasuke when she saw him standing directly behind her.

"Sa-Sasuke-kun... What are you doing?"

She pressed her back against the wall, unsure of how to respond. He smiled suggestively, leaning close, insanely close.

"Now that we're together, Sakura, we can finally do what I want." His eye gleamed with a crazy light and suddenly Sakura didn't want to know what he was thinking about. Is Sasuke-kun really like this? Sakura pushed him away.

"Sasuke, you're scaring me." She tried to get away, but he, being stronger than her, didn't let her move. He grabbed onto her arms and pushed her roughly to the floor.

"Sakura, now you're mine. You're what I want and I can't let you get away."

He pushed her shoulders hard against the floor and kissed her savagely.

"An Uchiha always gets what he wants."

"SASUKE!"

She squeezed her eyes shut and felt something out of reality shift, something fade, and something fall into place. She then felt someone shaking her shoulder...

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Sakura! Sakura-chan!" That was Naruto's voice. "You guys, I think I'm going to have to do mouth to mouth!" Sakura's eyes shot open and her fist shot straight up into Naruto's face. It took her a second before she noticed that she was not in a secret hide away in the Hokage's office. Was it a dream? .

"Shut up, Naruto. I'm awake." She sat up and noticed that there was quite a lot of blood around her.

"What happened?"

Kakashi's voice spoke from behind her.

"You passed out. From blood loss."

"Blood loss?"

"Yeah." Kakashi laughed. "Sasuke took off his shirt during training and you... erm... had a massive nosebleed."

Sakura got up and brushed the dirt off of her butt. She looked around Kakashi to see Sasuke standing there with his arms crossed.

Kakashi shifted as he pulled out his book. "We were all worried about you."

Sasuke threw her a kind smile. "You should be more careful, Sakura."

The only thing that team seven saw was a red and pink blur run off into the distance.

"NOT AGAIN!"

Naruto scratched his head. "What's with her?"

Sasuke shrugged.

Kakashi didn't even notice, as deeply immersed in Icha Icha as he was.

And far away, in the Hokage's office, Ino was cleaning out the bookshelf. She coughed as one particular tome shot out dust. Wow... looks like this has been here forever. She wiped the dust off of the cover and saw the title.

"One hundred and one love potions? Hm... This might come in handy."
