AN: I'm back! There is going to be a time skip, because if I didn't then I would be writing chapters and chapters of long boring complications, but it's much easier just to explain it to you in a paragraph! Anyway, please review! Also, for reference, my inspiration for Sasuke's house was Chatsworth manor, and if any of you have seen the film Pride and Prejudice (the one with Kiera Knightly- I don't think I spelt that right) you will recognise it as Mr Darcy's big house. In a way it sort of fits doesn't it? Mr Darcy, a man of few words, who has no apparent interest in the opposite sex until Elizabeth comes along and- what do you know? That sounds a lot like Sasuke! Coincidence? I don't think so! Yeah, anyway, I'm going to post this at the end as well because for some reason, more people tend to read the end AN, so if you've bothered to read this then, yeah... Also, I know that Chatsworth is an English house and I'm putting an old English house in Japan, but oh well! It's fan fiction! You can do what you want!

Disclaimer: muahahahahaha! I own Naruto! (Menacing men with scary looking weapons approach threateningly) No-no, I didn't mean- don't kill me! (Cringes as they advance pointing more scary pointy things at me) Ok! Ok! I don't own Naruto, just don't point that thing at me!

The next few weeks for Sakura and Sasuke were absolute hell. Tsunade had said that the elders had insisted that they live together and after a long furious argument between her, Sakura and Sasuke, it had been decided that they would live in Sasuke's house. It was the larger of the two, and although Sakura's house was anything but small, the Uchiha compound was massive. The house had about twelve bedrooms, nearly the same amount of bathrooms and dozens of other rooms which Sakura doubted, although it was Sasuke's house, he had probably never even set foot into in his life, it was that big. And attached to it was about ten kilometres square of grounds, including a pool, summer house and its own personal training ground.

Sakura had desperately wanted to live in her own house, hating the idea of relying on Sasuke in any way. But in the end, she lost the fight and to her dismay Tsunade had given her a week to move in.

"You know, you could help me!?"

Sakura was in the process of carrying a particularly heavy box of her things through the Uchiha mansion's front doors, while Sasuke sat on one of the steps of the large marble staircase in the centre of the hallway, and watched her lazily.

"Why do you need so much stuff anyway?" he asked, observing her with disinterest. Glaring at him, Sakura walked slowly up to Sasuke, and dropped the box on his feet.

"Shit!!" he swore, nursing one of his feet.

"Oops," said Sakura sarcastically, before pulling him up by the arm and forcefully dragging him out of the door, where a mound of boxes was waiting for them.

"Now help!"

Muttering incoherently, Sasuke walked over and grabbed one of the boxes, and stomped inside with it. He couldn't believe he was letting himself be ordered around by Sakura. Mind you, he had felt the burn of Sakura's super human strength and was in no hurry to feel it again. He really missed the days when she never would have even dreamed of punching him...

It took around half an hour to lug all of Sakura's boxes in. Neither of them had spoken a word to each other in that time, because each was too busy contemplating ways in which to kill the other quietly.

After that, Sasuke discreetly vanished, no doubt to escape more box-carrying duties and to train. The lazy sod.

Finding herself alone in the middle of the large entrance hall with a tonne of boxes surrounding her, she sighed. She would unpack the boxes later, when Sasuke was back. She could torture him a little more then.

Deciding to explore her new home a little bit, Sakura clambered her way over the boxes and began to make her way up the large staircase. It seemed everything about this place was large, and Sakura hadn't seen any of the other rooms yet. In fact, she had never seen the house before today, and although she didn't like to admit it, it was quite breathtaking. The structure was made of cream coloured, beautifully carved stone and was set against a woody slope. There were huge pillars at the front made it look slightly roman, adding to its grandeur. It had been all Sakura could do to stop herself from gasping. The house was truly breathtaking.

As she climbed up the marble staircase, Sakura took note of how her footsteps echoed. She would just have to get used to that. It didn't make it any less weird though.

At the top of the staircase, Sakura found herself in a wide corridor. Well, more of another hall really, with many different doors, completely baffling Sakura. She had a funny feeling that this would be a long tour...

Sakura was lost. Yes, as much as she hated to admit it, she was well and truly lost. She had been through at least twenty corridors, up and down about five different staircases and been through 

more doors than she could count, and she still had a funny feeling that there was more. So far she had managed to find the library, a couple of the living rooms, most of the bedrooms, the dining room, the weapons room, the kitchen and a lot of other rooms which she wasn't quite sure of the purpose. And, like the exterior, they were all breathtaking.

She had been particularly fascinated by the library however. She had always loved books, but this to her was slightly overwhelming. There were more ancient, precious and rare books and scrolls in here than she doubted she would ever manage to read in her life. She had a feeling that she would be spending plenty of time in there.

As she walked along the corridor, looking desperately around as if hoping a big exit sign would suddenly appear. If she could just find out if what floor she was on, she might be able to navigate her way out, or if all else failed, jump out of a window, but this was proving difficult as there were no windows anywhere near her. She had a funny feeling however that this was not the ground floor however.

Fleetingly she wondered how, a person with so little personality like Sasuke could live in house like this which was full of life. She had been expecting vast open spaces of nothingness, knowing what he was like, but then again, she reminded herself, this house had probably been passed down through many generations, so he probably would have inherited the house as it was.

Sighing, she continued along the latest corridor, which oddly enough, seemed to be lacking doors. As she kept going however, she came to a grand set of double doors. In spite of herself, she was quite curious. Pushing open the door cautiously, she stepped inside.

"Oh my God-" was all she could manage as she stared around at the large ornate room. It was truly magnificent.

She was in a bedroom. It wasn't just any bedroom. It was the master bedroom. She could tell because it was the largest and most amazing of all the ones she had seen so far.

There was a giant four poster bed up against the wall straight ahead of her, with mahogany tables on either side of it. As she made her way over to the bed, she took in the other objects surrounding her. A desk, a dressing table, a mirror, an opened wardrobe with some clothing in it... shit.

Sakura froze, halfway across the room. She was in Sasuke's room. She needed to get out of here fast. She was about to turn around when she saw it. Windows! She had been so caught up in the room before that she hadn't noticed them. Scurrying over to one of them, she looked out and to her annoyance, found out that she was on the third floor. Oh well, she was ANBU, she could handle a jump like that.

Opening the latch, she pushed, but to her irritation, found that it was stuck. Pushing a little harder, she rested her palm on the glass and pushed there as well. Still it wouldn't open.

Sakura felt like that the window was really asking for it. She was sorely tempted to screw the whole thing and send a fist clean through the window so the damn thing would shatter, and then she could get out that way. What did it matter if was a very old, valuable window that Sasuke would probably have to pay a lot of money to replace? He was rich, he could get over it.

I don't think that's a good idea...

What is then? You want me to wait for Sasuke in his room? "Oh yeah, hi Sasuke, so how are you? In case you are wondering why I'm in here, I just felt like taking a look, is that ok?" yeah, because that'll go down well.

It's a wonderful invention called a door...

Yeah, wonderful, if you can find one!

Sakura let out a frustrated scream. Now she really needed to punch something...

Picking his way over the boxes, Sasuke rolled his eyes. Why women needed so much stuff was completely beyond him. He would make sure he wasn't there for the unpacking of these boxes. Suddenly remembering a particularly gruesome fact, her stopped dead halfway over a box. Tsunade had said that he and Sakura had to share a bedroom. And he had forgotten to tell Sakura... CRAPCRAPCRAPCRAP!! This was NOT going to go down well with her. He cringed subconsciously. She would not be happy when she found out...

His thoughts were interrupted by a sudden distant scream. A scream that sounded horribly like-

"Sakura," he muttered, before speeding up the stairs and sprinting towards the source of the noise. What had happened to her? Was she alright? She couldn't possibly be-?

He didn't even want to think about that. She was ANBU, if someone attacked her they would have a fat chance of even landing a hit on her... but maybe...

He sped up, pushing those horrible thoughts out of his head. Damn this house for being so big.

Searching for Sakura's chakra, he felt a wave of relief when he found it. But what was she doing in...?

As he approached his bedroom, he searched around quickly for any sign of blood or damage, but to his immediate relief, found none. Almost dreading what he might find, Sasuke quickly opened the door and hurriedly looked around, before catching sight of Sakura.

"Sakura! Are you- Sakura?"

Sakura froze in the process of drawing back one chakra infused fist, which had the intent of smashing through the window.

Oh shit. Caught red-handed.

Slowly turning around and lowering her hand, she opened her mouth to say something, but found that no words came out. She saw Sasuke standing there, a look of utter confusion on his face. Not a sight you see everyday...

"Are you okay? I heard someone scream..." he said slowly.

"Err... well...you see..."

"And why are you in my room? And why were you going to punch my window?" he continued in that same slow, deep voice.

"I got lost and I got a little bit frustrated..."

"So you screamed...?"

"And I couldn't find any other way out, and the window wouldn't open..."

There was an awkward silence between the two of them, while Sasuke digested the information and Sakura stared at her feet, her cheeks slightly pink. After a few minutes of this, Sakura couldn't take it anymore.

"Look, I'm really sorry, I didn't know this was your room, I'm sorry that I nearly punched you're window, I wasn't thinking, I-"

"Sakura," he said, an amused smirk appearing on his face "Did you get lost?"

"Yes-no- fine, ok, I did," she said, looking slightly flustered.

His smirk widened, as he leant against the doorframe casually.

"Look, your house is-" she began, but then a sudden glare formed on her face. "Uchiha, are you teasing me?" she said sternly.

"Maybe..." he said, the tone of amusement in his voice evident.

"Really?" she said, folding her arms and pouting slightly.

"Oh, err... Sakura?" he said, mentally preparing himself for the explosion that would follow "Tsunade said that she wants us to sleep in the same room..."

1,2,3-BOOM!

About ten minutes later, Sasuke was leaning against the bed whilst Sakura paced up and down the room, muttering to herself.

"Sakura, you're acting like we're preparing for an S-class mission or something..." said Sasuke disinterestedly.

"No, I am not!" she snapped crossly.

"You never really answered my question earlier," He continued. She just ignored him and continued pacing.

"What were you doing in here?"

She still ignored him.

"Were you getting ideas...?" he said huskily, shooting her a cheeky smirk.

Suddenly there was a flash of pink and then Sasuke found himself being hit repeatedly over the head with a book.

"PERVERT!"

"ARGH! SAKURA!"

Sasuke made a wild grab for the book, but instead ended up knocking Sakura by accident, so that she stumbled to the side, before tripping over.

Desperately trying to stay upright, Sakura grabbed onto the nearest object, which at the time was Sasuke's shirt, causing them to both go toppling to ground.

The next thing they knew, Sasuke was lying on top of Sakura, their legs entangled together and their lips inches apart. Both their eyes widened with shock as they realized their current, compromising position.

Placing his arms either side of Sakura's head, Sasuke pushed his top half off of Sakura, but did not get up entirely.

"Is this what you had in mind Sakura?" asked Sasuke. "Because the floor isn't a very appropriate place, you know..."

Letting out a huff, she smacked him hard in the chest. He was about to let out a chuckle, when something made him freeze. He had seen something. A flicker of emotion in her eyes. Now she had him locked in a gaze, and he found he could not look away. There was something...

Neither of them really knew how it happened. They didn't really care. All that mattered was the fact that Sasuke now had his lips on Sakura's and his arms around her waist. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip asking for entrance, as he felt her arms snake around his neck. She willingly complied and soon her hands were going to his shirt and pulling it over his head. Hearing her give a low moan, he returned the favour and soon Sakura was left in her bra, whilst Sasuke was shirtless.

He ran a hand up her waist and was just in the process of unclasping her bra, when Sakura broke the kiss.

"Sasuke," she whispered breathlessly "We have to stop. That was a mista-"

He silenced her with another long passionate kiss. He smirked against her lips when he heard her moan again.

She broke away again.

"Sasuke..." she whispered. "We can't do this..."

"Why not? You're my fiancé," he said.

"But we don't like each other..." This time she didn't sound so sure of herself.

"But what was that?" he asked.

"I- I don't know," she bit her lip.

"You hate me don't you?" he asked quietly, not looking her in the eye.

"No! No, I-"

"You don't have to lie," he said coldly, pushing himself up off Sakura and retrieving his shirt. "It's ok."

Pulling his shirt back on, he walked out of the room, that same cold, hardened expression that he wore when he was younger appearing on his face.

Sakura sat up, completely shocked. What had happened? Why had it happened? What was going on with her?

She hugged her knees close to her chest, as if attempting to block out the drowning sorrow that she could feel growing within her.

She would not cry. She could not cry. She buried her face in her knees in an attempt to numb the pain.

Crying was a weakness... He had said it was...
