Sasuke had no reason to use his sharingan, so he thought. He knew he was Sakura's weakness, he knew what the blossom longed for deep inside her soul and he needed no Chakra to see that. It'd be simple and easy to the point of almost no challenge to stricken her defenseless.

Just act like you want her… the thought churned in his brain as he stood steadfast overlooking the agile woman that stood before him, only parts of her visible by moonlight.

She made the first move, rushing him with such force Sasuke nearly lost his footing as she wrapped herself around his body and spun him into the thick bark of a lingering oak. He grimaced from the blow but recovered quickly. With subtle speed he gripped her ivory thighs, his hands closer to parts of her than they should have been and as Sasuke had hoped for, his touch sent chills down her spine and her mind shifted to other things than the battle at hand. It was that moment of distraction that Sasuke needed. With a firm grip he grabbed her torso and forearm and twisted her body till she yelped with pain a seductive grin growing wide across his face as he slowly released the pressure he was using to restrict her movements, moving his left hand up between her breasts to caress her face from behind.

Sasuke's a pervert! Sakura screeched inside her mind as his hand trailed up her body. With his grip wavering she shifted her body and tucked her legs under to swiftly strike him in his abdomen, he released her with the air quickly leaving his diaphragm. She landed firmly on her feet and spun to face him, her eyes glowing against the dark surroundings. Is he toying with me? She couldn't help but let the thought elude her mind for a mere moment. If he was playing with her emotions, she decided, then she would firmly assert herself on his groin, stifling any thoughts he might have had of conceiving a child and saving the Uchiha clan. She watched him recover from her abdomen blow and slowly locked her body in place, if she was going to win, she had to put aside her emotions and she knew she couldn't allow herself to be smitten by this boy in the time of battle, even if this was considered play.

He watched her lock her stance and grinned at her determination. He'd never admit to anyone that he wasn't pretending to enjoy being so close to her, as demented as it sounded the battle gave him an excuse to touch her without looking foolish or weak. They lunged for the other, their bodies colliding; they laced fingers and were entwined in a tango of strength. Sasuke could feel the blood flow to his hands become restricted with Sakura's grip tightening and twisting the loose skin under his diligently wrapped flesh. In an act to save his digits he managed to free one hand from her merciless grip and with one flawless movement, scraped a Kunai across her chest causing her to lurch backwards and release her black haired opponent.





The scratched was clean and not deep but with the strike blood trickled from the wound and the fabric that had been cut folded down to vaguely expose the top part of her right breast thought Sakura seemed numb to the feeling. She braced herself against grass and dirt and slammed the boy into the ground their bodies somersaulting against rock and dirt as they rolled and tumbled until finally, Sakura landed as the dominate one, her body sprawled over on top of the Uchicha.

With a swift movement she restrained him, not that Sasuke was putting up much of a fight and with a vengeful gleam in her eye, she took a piece of his flesh for his own. Matching the wound he had given her, Sasuke now had a gash just above his right breast and he looked at her, more shocked than mortified. Sasuke watched her gaze shift and her eyes swirl into a victoriously seductive expression as she slowly lowered herself on top him to whisper delicately into his ear.

"Looks like we're even…"

"Which means you still can't beat me…" Sasuke retorted slyly as he pushed her up to look at her delicate face that was now illuminated by much more that starlight. In the wake of their playful banter 

the moon had succumbed to the waking dawn as the earth began to warm from the yellow rays of the sun and streak the sky with vibrant oranges and pink as it hurled itself over the horizon.

"Should I come back later?" A calm, collected voice echoed to the two nin who were still, for a lack of better observation, jumbled on the forest floor.

"Kakashi-Sensei!" Their voices alarmed as they both scrambled to their feet, Sasuke trying to move as quickly as possible from under the pink haired nin that had been resting on top of him. They rose to their feet, both of them bowing respectfully to their mentor who eyed them with curiosity flickering in his one visible eye.

"Don't get up on my account." Kakashi snickered, catching the cold glare of his raven haired student and the hard flush of Sakura.

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke growled, folding his arms over his chest.





"Well…" Kakashi began "When you and Naruto went back to Konoha to report the incident that happened earlier yesterday….and then reported Sakura missing…and then you went missing Sasuke…Tsuande felt the only logical thing to do was to go look for you both." Sasuke took note that Kakashi seemed to be smiling under his cloth covered face and proceeded to glare some more at his mentor. "Lucky for me, you both made it an easy mission." Kakashi turned his attention towards Sakura who was still as red as her uniform and hadn't removed her gaze from the grass that accompanied her feet. "Sakura…Tsuande wants to see you as soon as you get back." Kakashi received nothing more than a nod from the blossom as they silently made their way back to the village.
