A/N: I blame the Internet.. for making me retarded...

Warning: May contain touchy moments and fluff (yes.. fluff) ohh yes.. and a new OC yes... but don't worry I'm sure you'll love him. I added him to put an extra layer to our Sasuke character.. that would explain why he can be so... gentle.. I suppose.. oh yes... and I have an addiction to Sasuke swearing.. because it fits him.. I suppose... also... Sakura acts like a hyper freak of nature... and totally has an uber freak out. Enjoy :D... and sorry if they're a bit OOC... I can't help it.

ALSO thanks mucho to my loverly beta editor person, Unmei destiny (it won't let me use the underscore). I am happy for her services. :D...

He looked over the pink haired girl that slept in the seat beside him. He couldn't help but feel a sick feeling brew in his stomach. Despite the fact he wanted to throw up everything in his stomach, he really liked the way it felt. Unconsciously he let his hand caress her cheek for just a moment. He pulled it away when she shifted to get more comfort. He started the car and looked to the road that lay before him. Though he couldn't see a light towards the end as he drove through this life, he looked beside him and saw a tiny flicker of hope, sitting in the passenger seat. And that was enough for him.

-Chapter something-

He balanced the woman and the key card to his apartment the best he could as he tried to open the door. He grunted and shifted her weight in his arm. She still hadn't awoken from her tearful nap. Still, as he looked down he couldn't help but feel weird. He looked at her face and found a new feeling of inner peace. Her skin so soft, nearly flawless. Her eyes lightly closed. The way her hair fell smoothly across her face. Just for that one moment, as he looked at the girl, he felt as if he could wake up to this face each morning. He could see he and she eating dinner together, walking through the park, hands intertwined tightly. He could see himself truly and honestly making love to her, and meaning it. He could see himself placing soft meaningful kisses along her jaw line, a ring on her finger, a walk down an aisle. He could see this woman raising his children, and dying next to him. Before he knew it he had found himself placing a gentle kiss on her cherry lips. He pulled back and sighed contentedly. Then it hit him like lightning. This was not Sasuke Uchiha. He shook his head and laughed lightly. He wasn't going to fall in love.

'Who are you kidding?' He said inwardly. 'You are head over heels.'

He slid his key card through and the door slid open. He walked into his tidy apartment and sighed. The maid hadn't come that day, so no doubt Oscar was on his bed. He growled and walked quietly through the apartment, waiting for the offending Oscar to jump out and scare the shit out of him. Like always. He stepped into his room and saw the object of his current musing sleeping on his bed. The Great Dane poked its dark black head up and looked at its owner with a strange curiosity. He leapt off the bed and trotted to the door, noting the woman in Sasuke's arms. He felt the dog was rolling his eyes at him.

"What?" Sasuke asked, looking at the accusing dog,

The dogs gaze fell lightly on the girl. He snorted and walked out the door, kicking it shut behind him.

"Yeah, well! I'm sure if a pretty Great Dane were to run in here and faint you'd help her out too!" Sasuke shouted after the dog, only to hear another snort as if to say.

'Right... if you call THAT help.'

"PERVERT!" Sasuke shouted.

He walked over to his bed grumbling, when it hit him. Why the hell was he talking to the dog? He sighed and placed the girl on the bed. Her hair spilled wildly across his pillows. He pulled her shoes off for her and her jacket before pulling the covers over her. He ran a hand through his hair and walked over to his closet. He stripped off his jacket and let it fall limply to the floor. Then came his shirt and jeans. He pulled on a dark blue t shirt that just barely touched the band of his boxer shorts. He grumbled something about hoping she wouldn't kill him. He turned around and grabbed his home phone off the bedside table before sliding into bed next to her. He dialed the numbers quickly and let it ring. He let the corner of his lips curve slightly as the person answered. After a brief conversation he hung up the phone and clapped his lights off. He snuggled deep into the covers and turned towards the girl. He let a hand run down her face and then he turned away from her. In his last moments of wakefulness he thought about sharing a life with her. He shook his head and let darkness greet him.

Sakura shifted slightly in her sleep. Her arm fell over something warm. She pulled herself closer to it. She wrapped her arms around it and let her head rest against its soft yet firm chest. She snuggled in deep. She felt something snake around her and pull her impossibly closer. Something warm moved atop her head and she twitched slightly as hair tickled her face. She blew it away with a swipe of her hand and then let it fall against her new found pillow. The thing that rested atop her head unconsciously pressed hard against it with its warm lips. And then pulled her pretty much on top of him. She didn't mind. She liked the way the warm full body pillow fit her perfectly. She snuggled in again and placed a light kiss on the warm soft skin of her pillows neck. The pillow shivered. She sighed and let her body fall back into the deep sleep.

He woke before she did, as the sun light poured lazily into his bedroom through a slightly ajar curtain. He looked down at the woman in his arms. Her face held a peaceful, happy, smile. Her eyes were shut lightly. Her hair fell across his chest and her arms hugged him tightly. She groaned slightly in her sleep and held him tighter.

"Sasuke..." She gently breathed in her dream. "I can't hide this feeling..."

He listened intently to her thoughts. He was curious as to what she was thinking about.

"I feel like I'm gonna fall. I feel like I'm gonna jump. I'll fall hard and fast and when I reach the ground...will you be there to catch me?" she whispered.

He looked curiously at the sleeping woman. Such odd thoughts to utter in one's sleep. He leant in and placed a kiss on her ear, "Always. As long as you promise to catch me, too."

Her warm lips covered his for a light, sweet, cautious kiss. She sighed deeply as she pulled away. "Always," she whispered. Her eyes now slightly open. He let the corners of his lips move slightly upwards.

"Good morning," he whispered to her.

She smiled lazily. "Yes, it is."

It confused him why she hadn't leapt out of bed and screamed at the top of her lungs. He wondered why she hadn't slapped him. Why she hadn't yelled at him for being a pervert. She tightened her hold around him and snuggled deep into his chest, breathing in. He kissed her forehead softly and they both sighed in unison.

"This is a good dream," she sighed. "I wish I had more dreams where you and I lay together, watching the sun rise."

He chuckled softly. "I bet you wish it were real," he whispered softly into her ear.

"I wish it were," she sighed. "I wish my dreams could come true. Then each day would be paradise. I would be happily in love with you. We'd make love all night and then watch the sun rise together." She sighed and smiled at him. "I sound so corny." She rolled off of him and lay on the bed next to him.

"I dunno," he stated. "Sounds nice to me."

"You're only saying that because you're in my dream. I have power over your words!" She laughed and smiled. "Like if I were to think of you kissing me...it would happen."

"Is that so?" Sasuke asked, cocking an eyebrow.

She nodded. "Yep, in this world, I'm God."

He chuckled lightly. "So you think."

She huffed and pouted. "Well maybe not...seeing how you haven't kissed me yet."

"Ah, sorry," he stated. "Just not quite convinced you have that much power over me. Besides, if none of this were real, would it even matter if I kissed you or not?"

"You have a point. But the sensation I get just from thinking about your kiss, it turns me on," she smiled.

"You've only been kissed by me so many times; you can't know how it will really feel," he stated, rolling onto his side to get a better view of her.

"It's not the feel," she smiled. "It's the fact that you'd be kissing me."

He laughed. "I'd kiss you, but, like I said, you don't think any of this is real."

"Well it isn't," she laughed. "I mean. I'm in your bed! You are in boxers, which by the way turn me on. We are watching the sun rise. How can it not be a dream?"

Suddenly Sasuke was on top of her. His hands pinning her arms above her head. He smiled down at her and slowly made his descent. Her heart pace shot up and she nearly stopped breathing. His lips lingered over hers for a moment. "Tell me how this can't be real." His lips fell over hers for a light and gentle kiss. He pulled back and looked at the girl, whose face was now flushed.

She gulped. "Wow!"

He got off of her and sat crossed legged on his bed.

She breathed for a few more seconds, trying to steady her heart beat. "Wow!" She said again, sitting up. Her fingers caressing her lips. She turned to him. "OH MY GOD!!!! YOU PERVERT!!!"

He smiled as she smacked him hard across the face.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SMILING YOU PERVERTED BASTARD!?!" Another slap hit his face. "STOP SMILING!!! OH MY GOD!! ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT ME NAKED!?!?!! PERVERT!!"

Her arm went in for another hit only to be caught in mid air by Sasuke.

"PERVERT! LET GO OF MY HAND!!!" She yelled. "OH MY GOD, ARE GOING TO RAPE MY HAND!!!?!?!!"

Sasuke looked at her like she was crazy.

"RAPE!!! RAPE!!" She shouted loudly. "HE WANTS TO RAPE MY HAND!!!"

"How do you even rape a hand?" Sasuke asked.

"Don't ask me! You're the sick pervert who wants to rape my hand!!! Not me!!!" Sakura bit back.

"I'm not going to rape your hand." He let go of it and it fell limply to her side.

"Oh," she stated. "Then why'd you grab my hand?"

"Because you were going to slap me...again," he stated plainly.

"Ahh..." she sighed. "Makes sense."

He let a small smile grace his face. Sakura glared at him. "What are you smiling about??"

His face went emotionless again. "Hn."

She glared. "Don't 'hn' me!!!"

She suddenly found her self lying back on the bed with Sasuke looming powerfully over her. His hands resting on either side of her head. His eyes shone possessively. "I hear my kisses turn you on."

She turned a powerful shade of red.

"I also hear you like my under wear choices." He smiled evilly down at her as she turned even redder.

"This isn't fair." She inhaled as he neared her lips. "You are taking advantage of a girl who can't resist you."

He stopped. "You think this isn't fair?" he asked. Sakura groaned at the fact that he hadn't finished the job he had nearly started. "I say this is all your fault."

"My fault!" she huffed. "How so?"

"You are just too irresistible." He took a breath before capturing her lips once more. She moaned against his lips. Electric shocks ran through the two as they deepened the kiss. She bit hard on his lower lip, causing him to slightly yelp, leaving his mouth open for her pleasure. He moaned as she took on his tongue. His hands left the side of her head and one roamed up her soft skin. He pulled away and looked down at the woman. "You don't know what you do to me," he breathed. She sat up slightly and kissed him. "GOD!!" He nearly shouted. "You drive me crazy!!!"

Sakura laughed. "How crazy?" she teased.

"Crazy enough," he answered. "I swear, whenever I see you...I get crazy ideas. Like relationships, and marriage, and kids. With you."

She looked at him with a look that conveyed so much emotion. "Is it really all that crazy?" she silently asked.

He looked away and thought for a moment. He looked back and smiled slightly. "Not really."

He got off her and took the spot beside her to lie down. Both looked up at the ceiling and panted heavily.

"So," she stated, still out of breath. "You've thought about marrying me?"

He nodded. "More than once, actually."

She smiled happily. "So I suppose that was your way of asking me?"

He laughed. "Would you say yes?"

She laughed as well. "I suppose I would."

He looked over at her. "Then why don't we?"

She laughed. "You are crazy, Sasuke Uchiha."

His face remained serious. "Run off with me Sakura. Come with me to Vegas, we'll get married by Elvis."

She laughed lightly, causing Sasuke to smile. Only this time his smile was more genuine than any other he had worn. For once in his life since that fatal day in his past, he felt something deeper. He felt something that not even the most eloquent words could describe. As he thought it over the words ran into his mind and they came flowing beautifully from the mouth of the pink haired woman beside him.

"I love you," she whispered, before snuggling back in for some sleep. He held her tightly against him as the sunlight was swallowed up by the dark storm clouds of late spring. Rain came running down the window panes and He couldn't help but feel that this was the calm before the storm.
