Ding Dong!

Sasuke raised a brow, checking the clock: 9:18 pm.

'Who the hell bothers someone at that time?'

Ding Dong!

He grumbled and stood up from his comfortable couch and started heading for the door.

Ding Dong!

'Jeez I'm coming...' He thought.

The doorbell rang once again, irritating him. He grabbed the doorknob harshly, unlocked the door and slammed it open.

"What is it?!" he practically shouted.

He immediately regretted it as he found himself staring directly into big emerald eyes. She was gaping at him.

"Hum... I-I'm so sorry S-Sasuke-kun! I knew it was a bad idea coming here!" She stuttered out, letting out an embarrassed squeak.

She swiftly turned around, and starting walking away hurriedly before he sighed exasperatedly and ran to grab her wrist.

"Sakura." He acknowledged in a cold tone.

She squeaked and turned around, blushing.

"What are you doing here?" He asked monotonously.

"W-Well you see I-I locked myself out of my house a-and I forgot my key" she laughed nervously "I know pretty stupid of me to forget the damn key but I was in a hurry you see and-" She rambled on before he let go of her wrist and walked back inside his house, rolling his eyes at her rambling.

She sighed.

"Hn. Sakura I don't want my house to get wet so hurry up already." He said monotonously.

She was taken completely off guard. But as realisation hit her she smiled warmly at him before stepping in his mansion.

Sasuke shook his head as he recalled that memory.

Really... why was she always on his mind ever since they last met? He's been remembering all those time with her ever since then...

"Sasuke? Oi, Sasuke?" Suigetsu called out, waving a hand in front of him.

He growled and glared at Suigetsu. "What?" He snapped.

"Oi! I didn't do anything! No need to be so snappy!" Suigetsu retorted.

"Hn" Sasuke grunted, still glaring at Suigetsu.

"Jeez..." The silver haired male sighed.

"Maybe he just naturally doesn't like you" The red headed girl laughed, hoping off the window side.

"Just shut up Karin" Suigetsu growled.

"What did you say?!" Karin snapped.

"..." Jugo stayed silent, watching them both bicker.

"Sasuke-kun has been a little too out of it lately, that's all" A male voice hissed calmly like a snake.

Everybody in the room flinched, besides Sasuke who knew perfectly who it was.

Suigetsu and Karin stopped bickering and separated immediately, bowing slightly at their master.

"Orochimaru-sama" Sasuke's three team mates acknowledged, bowing to him a second time.

The snake male turned his gaze to Sasuke who was staring blankly at him.

"Well Sasuke-kun? Are you not going to welcome me here?" Orochimaru hissed.

Sasuke only stared before standing up and passing his master and walking out of the room without saying a word. The three were speechless.

"Well... it really does look like he's in a bad mood..." Suigetsu mumbled.

"Shut up!" Karin hissed.

Orochimaru had not seemed happy at all.

They three gulped.

Orochimaru walked out of the room scowling.

R.r.R.r.R.r.R.r.R.r.R.r.R.

Sakura laughed as she saw the state both her team-mates were in. Branches and leaves sticking out of their hair, mud everywhere on their face, their clothes torn and dirty.

Yep.

Surely it was funny to see.

"What happened to you both?" She asked, still laughing.

"Hn" Sasuke grunted, looking away from Sakura with a very annoyed expression plastered on his face.

Naruto was smiling gleefully, scratching the back of his head nervously.

She laughed even more at their reaction.

"It's not funny" Sasuke snapped, making Sakura laugh even more.

"It sure is to me!" She breathed out.

Naruto shrugged as he looked at Sasuke and joined his laughter with Sakura's.

Sasuke shook his head at the two of them, though Sakura couldn't help but notice how his mouth was twitched upwards into a tiny titsy smile. Almost unnoticeable.

Naruto hadn't seemed to notice. But she did.

She smiled at Sasuke warmly.

"Thinking about the pink haired girl Sasuke-kun?" A voice glumly said out of the darkness.

"Hn." Sasuke grunted. "Why would I be?" He monotonously asked.

"Because ever since you ran into her 3 days ago you haven't been acting as usual." Orochimaru continued in a freaky tone, coming out of the shadows.

"Ah. Maybe I'm just tired." He said, looking away from the snake man.

Orochimaru snorted and stepped out of the young Uchiha's room.

But he abruptly stopped at the door and turned, smiling dreadfully.

"You know what happens to the people that distract you from your purpose, Sasuke-kun"

Sasuke flinched for a moment before resuming a calm expression and looking down coldly at his master.

"Whatever" he muttered.

Orochimaru completely walked out of his room, smiling cleverly.

Sasuke growled, putting his hands behind his head. He was scowling.

"Sakura!" Naruto cried out horrifyingly as Sakura fell into the river, hitting a rock on the bottom.

Sasuke jerked his head towards the river as he saw Sakura's unconscious body barely floating above the raging river. He jumped over the rail of the bridge and in the river, swimming towards her.

"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted, surprised by his best friend's sudden move.

But he had lost sight of her.

"Naruto where's Sakura?!" Sasuke snapped, struggling to have his head above the water.

Naruto looked around for Sakura, panic showing in his eyes. He then spot a pink head and pointed ahead of Sasuke.

"She's over there! Under water!"

Sasuke took a deep breath and plunged under water, immediately he spotted pink. He swam towards her and grabbed her by the waist, automatically swimming to catch a breath.

He swam to the shore with some difficulty, dragging her body and making sure her head stayed above the water. Naruto helped him pull her up on the grass where she lay motionless.

"Sakura! Sakura!" Naruto cried out. He looked at the raven haired boy worriedly. "Sasuke what should we do!?"

Sasuke's instinct kicked in and he plugged Sakura's nose and placed his lips upon Sakura's soft ones, and gave some of his own breath to her. (A/N: don't really know how to explain CPR...lol)

Naruto was completely taken aback –and jealous...- by Sasuke's bold move and simply stayed there, gaping at him.

Sasuke put his hands on her chest and gave three strong push and repeated the first move. He did that about three times before Sakura coughed up water and shifted on the side to cough up more. She breathed in harshly for a couple of times before turning on her back again where the two of them were staring worriedly at her. Well Naruto was. Sasuke was still pretty much emotionless... besides this sparkled of worry in his eyes.

"Sakura-chan are you all right?!" Naruto cried out worriedly, engulfing her in a large bear hug.

"Dobe she's fine! Let her breathe!" Sasuke snapped.

Sasuke shook his head, hoping he would shake away all those memories. That was the first time their lips had ever touched. But Sakura never knew which one of them performed CPR. She had a feeling it was Sasuke though. Because he had refused to meet her gaze for the 2 weeks that followed the incident.

"Damnit..." Sasuke cursed.
