Chapter 7: The Ghost Of You
4 years ago...
Sakura was finally ready to go to bed now. She had been staying up all night studying medical jutsus. Throwing the book in her hand to the other side of her tent, she stood and began to unzip her dress. Her and the rest of Team 7 were on a mission in the Land of Water to assassinate a certain man. She thought back on the work they had done that day as she pulled the dress off of her slender body. She was just about to put on her night gown when Sasuke entered the tent quickly and quietly.
"Sasuke what are you...?"
"Shh..." he murmured as he closed the flap of the tent.
Quickly she reached for her night gown to cover herself, seeing that she was clad in panties and bandages wrapped around her chest. In a second Sasuke's hand wrapped around her wrist, causing her to drop the gown. She looked up fearfully at him and gulped causing him to hesitate a little.
"Sakura...I'm not going to hurt you," he said quietly, releasing her wrist.
Instantly, she moved to cover herself with her now free arm. He sighed and shoved one of his hands in his pocket, using the other to reach up and caress the side of her face. She jumped slightly and eyed the hand on her cheek. He leaned forward, his face close to hers, but more importantly, his lips close to hers. She gasped slightly at this; he had never acted this way towards her before.
"Sasu..ke...kun?"
He gulped, "Y- Yeah?"
Did he just-? Did THE Uchiha just-? STUTTER? Unbelievable. Before another thought could pass through her mind, his lips pressed against hers in sheer passion. There were two thoughts running through her head at that very moment;
1.) What the hell just happened?
2.) This is what I damn well get for sneaking a peek of Kakashi-sensei's book before bed!!!
He raised his other hand from his pocket to remove her arms from around her chest. She then raised them shakily to wrap them around his neck, pushing her body against his. Sasuke moved his free arm to wrap around her waist, keeping her close against him. She tilted her head slightly to deepen the kiss while the hand that was currently on her cheek began to drift downward. Suddenly she felt his tounge teasing her soft lips as if begging for an invitation to get in. She happily gave him the invitation he was asking for. She hadn't even noticed the fact that his hand was no longer on her face, until it brushed her bandage covered breasts.
"Sasuke-kun!" she gasped.
He stopped everything at once and backed away from her, "Sorry..."
"No...you just. You just took me by surprise is all," she muttered, suddenly feeling completely stupid.
Sasuke sighed and rubbed the back of his head. He thought nothing else was going to happen, therefore he was completely surprised when Sakura tackled him, crushing her lips against his. He stumbled slightly before wrapping his arms around her small frame, smirking against her lips. Suddenly, Sakura felt something hard brush up against her waist.
"Sasuke-kun?" she said breathlessly as she pulled away causing him to freeze, "What's that?"
"What's what?" he looked down, his eyes widening, "Uh...that's a- um. That's the- Scroll!! The scroll with our mission report written in...uh...it."
She quirked an eyebrow, "In your um...pants?" Her eyes widened, "In your pants. Oh...wow...um..."
"Yeah," he said hoarsely, clearing his throat.
"Well...What do we do now?" Sakura asked innocently.
"I guess...well...we can't just do nothing. I mean, my friend needs a little bit of attention now that he's happy..." Sasuke declared nervously.
"What kind of attention?" Sakura questioned him out of curiosity. Her eyes oped wide. "NO WAY! I'M TOO YOUNG FOR THAT!" She screeched at him.
He gave her a slightly horrified expression as he clamped a hand over her mouth, "Kami Sakura, lower your damn voice!!! Do you want Kakashi to come in here?!" She shook her head furiously. "Then be quiet." She nodded and he moved his hand away from her mouth. "I didn't mean that much attention."
She blushed furiously, "Oh then, what did you mean?"
He scratched his head nervously, "Go to sleep...I'll take care of it."
"Well...I wanna help," she muttered, her face becoming redder if that was even possible.
He scratched his head again, "O...kay...I guess."
"Great Sasuke-kun! Make me feel like a complete idiot why don't you?!"
"I didn't mean to," he muttered sheepishly, "Give me your hand..."
!!!LIME BEGINS HERE!!!
She raised an eyebrow at him but complied. He took her hand in his and used his free one to unzip his pants. He smiled at her, she looked so innocent. She didn't know what to do. He guided her hand into the hole of his pants then his boxers. Her hand finally came in contact with something hard. She gently wrapped her hand around it, not able to fit it all in her grasp. She knew that much, but now what? She looked up at him as if to ask him for instructions. Seeing this, he jerked his hips slightly, pumping himself into her hand.
"Move your hand," he said hoarsely.
"I- How?" she stuttered, feeling completely useless.
He blushed slightly as his heart rate began to quicken, "Up...then down...then up again, repeat."
She did as she was told, slowly at first, but then he trust forward, signaling her to speed up. Her hand pumped against his manhood at a growing pace. The only sounds to be heard in the room were grunts and skin on skin. Her hand clenched and unclenched around his cock causing clear beads of pre-cum to form at the tip. Suddenly, she accidentally brushed her thumb against the tip of his shaft, feeling wetness travel down her thumb.
"Sakura...fuck," he grunted before he pushed her onto the floor quickly but gracefully, careful not to harm her.
He gently tugged her panties off. He lay on top of her and softly kissed her neck. Sakura let a moan escape from her soft lips. Now she was really embarrassed, why had she made that sound? As he kissed her neck, she felt two fingers enter her. She gasped at the intrusion.
"Wow Sakura, you're all wet," Sasuke panted.
Sasuke pumped his fingers hard and fast, stroking her clit with his thumb. Sakura soon realized that she had been so caught up in the feelings of Sasuke's fingers inside her that she hadn't been doing anything for him. She continued pumping his cock at a slow, steady pace.
"Don't fuck with me Sakura."
"Too late for that..." she said breathlessly.
He chuckled lowly, the only way she could tell was by the vibrations that were sent through the patch of skin on her neck he was currently sucking on. Damn, that was going to leave a mark, he made sure of it. He slowed the pace of his fingers and began to open and close them like scissors. She gasped, the pace of her heart quickening double time. He felt her hand pump harder and harder every second as she reached her climax. The moans got louder, it was a wonder Kakashi didn't hear them.
Finally she reached her climax and screamed "SASUKE-KUN."
He was about to reach a climax of his own. "Sakura," he growled as his warm seed exploded onto her chest.
!!!LIME ENDS HERE!!!
Sakura's breathing was heavy as she winded down from the temporary high. Sasuke grunted and rolled to the side, pulling Sakura close to his side. Then, as if it was inevitable they heard the trampling footsteps and sleepy calls of...
"SAKURA-CHAN!!!"
Sasuke jumped and looked at Sakura who was looking back at him worriedly, "Sasuke-kun, get in the sleeping bag!!"
"What? You think the dobe is dumb enough not to notice a lump under the covers?" Sakura gave him a look, "You're right."
Sasuke hid in the sleeping bag and Sakura stood in front of it, "Aa, Sakura? Not that I'm not enjoying the view or anything but..."
Sakura looked down and reddened, "Kami..." She searched for the panties that Sasuke had thrown somewhere in their frenzy. Picking them up, she quickly slid them on, just in time before Naruto burst into the tent.
"Aa, Sakura-chan? Are you okay?" he asked sleepily, "I heard some screaming..."
Sakura reddened, "Uh...I'm fine...I just saw a spider in my sleeping bag."
"Oh...want me to kill it for you?" He began to move towards it but she steeped in front of him.
"No! That's alright, I killed it already!"
He nodded before smirking slightly, "Aa, Sakura-chan you forgot to rub in some of your lotion." He reached out and began to rub the white 'lotion' into her skin. She made a grim face, not only because he was rubbing Sasuke's well...cum into her skin but what made it a hundred times worse was that he was rubbing it into just above her breast.
Sasuke, who was peeping at them through a whole in the sleeping bag, growled causing Naruto to look around, grabbing Sakura's half-naked body against him, "What the fuck was that?"
Sakura's face reddened even more, pulling away from him, "Probably some animal or something outside. Don't worry about it! I'm tired though, so I'm going to get to bed."
He nodded, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Goodnight Naruto."
He was on his way out but he stopped, "Oh right, have you seen the teme? He's not in his sleeping bag."
"Uh..." she stuttered, "No, maybe he went down to the stream or out for a walk."
Naruto nodded, "You're right. Goodnight Sakura-chan."
She nodded at him with a smile and watched as he left, zipping it back up outside. Breathing a sigh of relief, she turned to see Sasuke already out of the sleeping bag and behind her. She jumped and shook her head before reaching out a hand to touch his face but he moved out of the way. A look of shock and confusion passed over her face as she turned to watch him walk to the flap of her tent. He fixed his pants and thoroughly sucked his fingers clean, the latter sending a pleasurable shiver down her spine.
"This never happened," he said in his usual monotone.
Tears flooded Sakura's eyes as the shock wore off, "Wha- What Sasuke-kun?"
"This never happened," he repeated, "No one can know."
"Why can't they know?" she asked in a choked voice.
"They wouldn't understand..."
xXxXxXxXx
Sakura's vision became blurry as she felt the impact of Sasuke knocking her out. She breathed in sharply and stared into his eyes, her pupils dilating. Slowly, a smile made its way to her lips.
"They'll never understand..." she said hoarsely, "Will they?"
With a thump, she fell to the ground motionless. Sasuke stood above her, his breath coming out in uncontrolled heavy puffs. Karin stared questionably at him before reaching out a hand to touch his shoulder. He jerked out of her grasps and passed her quickly, heading out of the door.
"Sasuke-kun! Matte!!"
xXxXxXxXx
"Sasuke-kun! Matte!!"
Naruto paused a few feet from Sakura's office door, "Sasuke..."
The onyx eyes male looked up at his former teammate, "Naruto, ne? What brings you here?"
The Kyuubi vessel's eyes flashed with anger, "What do you think you rat ass bastard?"
Sasuke chuckled slowly, "Never could hide anything from you, now could I?"
The blonde haired boy eyed the office doors, "Where's Sakura-chan?"
"Was it that you were just so intuitive or you just can't grant anyone a sliver of privacy?"
"Where is she?!" he roared angrily.
"To tell you the truth Naruto, I'm so proud of you for finally getting a piece of Sakura. If only for a bit. How long did it last, hmm? Two minutes? Four, tops?"
Naruto froze, "She..."
"Yeah, she told me."
"What did you do to her?"
"Why would I do anything to her?" Sasuke asked, tilting his head to the side, "Why would such a thing affect me?"
"You," his breath caught in his throat, "are such...a bastard. So many times, I've tried to break it into her thoughts. So many times. That no matter how much you care for her, you'll never love her the way I do. Yet, she still cried over you, cared for you...loved you. And this is what she gets?"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "Are you done?" He paused, "Good; my turn. My life, my relationships, especially the one with Sakura is none of your concern. I have nothing to prove to you, nothing to confess. So get the fuck out of my face."
Briskly, Sasuke started to walk past him, Karin in tow. Naruto eyed the red-head curiously before laughing cynically causing Sasuke to pause.
"So is that what warms your bed at night?" he asked pointing towards Karin, "I have to say Sasuke, you can do sooo much better. She definitely fails in comparison to Sakura."
Karin glared at him, "Sasuke-kun! Are you going to let him talk about me like that?"
"Yes," he said with a shrug, "By the way, she warms Suigetsu's bed."
xXxXxXxXx
Shikamaru began to walk shakily towards the two unconscious girls. Kiba watched with sad eyes as the seventeen year old genius collapsed next to the blonde haired shinobi. Slowly, his hands reached out and gently landed on her face.
"Ino..." he said slowly, "I- I'm s- so sorry."
In a flash he had stood and kicked one of the waiting room chairs to the opposite side of the room. The chair, metal and cushioned, shattered into pieces causing Akamaru to whine, covering his ears with his paws.
"I said-" Shikamaru began to yell, "I said I would protect her!! I promised!"
"Shika-" Kiba started gently.
"No!" he yelled, "No! You, you shut up! You don't know anything! You don't know shit!"
Kiba's eyes widened, never had he before seen Shikamaru act this way. Shikamaru always acted by the book, lazy, unemotional but this...
"I promised her!! I was supposed to protect them!"
"Them? Shikamaru what are you saying?"
"Come on Inuzuka! Are you truly that dense?! Can your highly acclaimed senses not figure out what's happening?! What happened?!"
"...Shi-"
"My baby is dead!" Shikamaru roared angrily, kicking another chair into the wall, "My baby, my baby girl is dead..." Slowly, he began to sink to his knees, "She- She's dead. I promised, I said...Oh kami... Please forgive me..."
"Shikamaru..." Kiba said gently and knelt down beside him, "Hey...it's not your fault."
"The hell it isn't," he yelled, "The hell it isn't."
Okay, I know it's pretty short but I didn't have much time to work on it. Sorry!! I hope you like it and I'm sorry that Shikamaru is a bit OOC but in this situation...come on. So I hope you enjoyed, please review!!!!
