Well here it is, chapter 2
Someone obviously wasn't quiet pleased with my pairing... Well I'm not really offended, this is just my imagination. This is just me, only me.
Chapter 2 - Scars.
It's still very early and the sun is barely rising.
Sakura wakes up, turning off her alarmclock. She looks beside her and sees a peacefully sleeping naked Sasuke. His hair messily draped over his pillow, his body half covered by her sheets. She smiles softly and brushes a few soft dark locks off his face. She carefully gets up and starts dressing. Her shift starts in half an hour.
She turns her back to Sasuke and pulls her red Haruno shirt over her head. Still carefull, not to wake him, she walks to her closet and choses a black khaki pants to wear.
While pulling on her boots a few moments later, she hears the raven haired boy shift. She turns to him and sees he's awake.
He looks at her sleepily, eyes half lidded.
'Anbu huh?'
Her eyes fix on the tattoo on her bare arm. 'Yeah...'
She watches him again and sees he is closing his eyes again.
'Sasuke, I have a shift in the hospital now. You can stay here if you like.'
When he doesn't respond, she leaves the room and enters her kitchen. Watching her clock, she hurries to make herself some lunch. While Sakura cuts some bread, she suddenly hears a low male voice near her ear. Speaking so softly: 'When does your shift ends?'
Sakura continues her task. 'Around noon.'
She pretends she doesn't feel those arms circling around her waist and those soft lips brushing her neck. He nibbles her earlobe softly, while she is still stubbornly cutting far too much bread with her shaky hands.
She feels the chills run up and down through her spine.
Sasuke places a soft kiss on her nape and whispers while withdrawing his hands: 'I'll be seeing you then.'
She doesn't turn around, but she knows he has left to her bedroom again. Somehow she feels very satisfied about this. Why? She doesn't really know, it probably has to do with the fact that when she gets back, he will be waiting for her, in her appartment.
He will be waiting for me...
Five minutes after he went back, she leaves. Not saying anything, she supposed he knew when she left anyway.

Wearing a long white coat, she visits her patients. Even though she has a very busy schedule, she cannot not help but think about the Uchiha in her apartment, and last night of course. Her mind just keeps wondering off to him. He obviously has that effect on her.
During her shift, Naruto visits her.
'Sakura-chan!' he greets her happily, as the pink-haired medic is reading a document in her office. She looks up from her work and smiles softly.
'Naruto,' she greets him with a nodd.
The blond almost jumps to her desk. He slams his fist on the desk. 'Is it true?' he asks with a low voice, his head dropped low.
Of course she knows immediately what he means. She nods slowly.
His head drops a little lower, her eyes widen. Is he angry or prehaps sad?
'Sakura... when you see Sasuke-teme, will you tell him that I want to talk to him sometime?'
He looks up, his blue eyes wide and full of energie. 'I want to catch up with him!' He gives her his famous happy smile, and she can only return one.
'I will, Naruto.'
'Well, I'm off then, I'm having lunch with Hinata in 5 minutes. See ya!' he waves her goodbye.
'Have fun, Naruto!' He leaves her office. She grinns at the image of Naruto and Hinata sharing lunch. Naruto still and always was kind of oblivious to Hinata's love, but things were getting better. They spent a lot of time together lately. It should just be a matter of time before they got into a relationship.
With that last thought, she returns to reading her document.

It's only half past two, when Sakura's shift ends . After pulling off her white coat, she rushes home, hoping that Sasuke will still be there.
In a quick pace, she marches home, almost running. As she stands in front of her door, she searches her pockets for her key.
But then, the door suddenly opens, revealing a bare chested Sasuke, only dressed in his black jounin pants. Her mouth drops at the sight, which causes a smirk to play Sasuke's handsome features. She figures that he must have been naked and only put on a pants to open the door. Sasuke... Naked... Inside her appartment.
Please, don't get a nosebleed, please please please.
Ironically he speaks: 'Want to come in?'
Sakura blushes and nods as she enters her own house.
As she passes him in the doorframe, he suddenly stops her by holding her wrist. Sakura stiffens at the contact, she feels his thumb tracing lazy circles on her soft skin.'You know, you weren't so shy last night.' he whispers huskily in her ear.
With her foot, she kicks the door closed with a loud klicking sound. 'Well, you kind off caught me off guard yesterday. You didn't give me any time to get shy and all.'
He chuckles and lets go of her wrist. 'Ah...'
She passes him, and walks into her small kitchen. While feeling a bit tired, she sits down in a chair and rubs her temples. When Sasuke enters the kitchen too, she speaks.
'Naruto visited me today.'
She watches Sasuke's bare back as he fills the kettle with hot water. She watches his back, and... his skin, with all the scars.
'Holy shit...' She whispers while getting up to stand behind Sasuke.
He looks at her from his eyes corner. 'What?'
'Y-your back. You have so many scars!'
She looks at them again, and traces them with her finger. They are so deep. She can tell, thanks to her experience as a medic, how some of them are made. On his lower back, there is a long thin and deep scar, probably made by the cut of a katana. And between his shoulder blades are some sort of... slashes, probably made by shuriken. She can already imagine shuriken sticking out of his back, she closes her eyes in horror. There are many more...
How did he get them?
Did Orochimaru do this to him?
He must have suffered so badly...
Her fingertips traces the scars, and with a sudden move, she presses herself against him, wrapping her arms around his waist. Her head pressed up between his shoulder blades.
'I can make some of them go away...' she whispers against his skin.
'No need to.'
She slowly releases him again and plays with a pink lock, turning it between her two fingers. 'How did you get them?' she speaks softly. With his back still turned towards her, he simply replies:
'Long story.'
She recognizes the hint, he doesn't feel like telling her. But there are so many!
'God, how come I didn't even notice last night!' she wonders out loud, while still staring at his deep scars, they must have been some serious injuries back then. And she wasn't even there to heal them...
Sasuke smirks and looks at her over his shoulder. 'You were too busy doing something else.'
A blush stains her cheeks and she looks away. Slowly she sits down in the chair again.
'What did you want to tell me about Naruto?' Now she remembers again, she was telling him about Naruto!
'Oh, he wanted to talk with you sometime, catch up and stuff.' Sasuke turns around and sits down next to her, 'I'll be sure to visit him tomorrow then.'
An uncomfortable silence makes Sakura feel nervous. She watches Sasuke, and he is watching her. Their eyes meet, and Sakura can feel the heat flushing her cheeks again. Sasuke is looking at her so intense, she can't stop blushing.
She looks down at her hands in her lap.
But then her chin is being lifted and a kiss is placed on her nose. She closed her eyes at the contact. He parts, while standing.
'I'm going to take a shower.'
Her eyes open and her gaze travels up. He smirks again at her (in his famous sexy way) and leaves for her bathroom. She follows him with her eyes, and just before he closes the door, he looks at her one more time. But there is something with that look. It somehow seems... naughty?
And then... that moment, when he closes the door, she notices. She notices him not locking the door. She hears the water running, and she blushes for the umpteenth time for her thoughts.
But still, she slowly stands and even slower shuffles to the door. The second she wants to reach out her hand for the doorknob, the door opens itself and she is being pulled in roughly...
By a very wet Sasuke.
Well, at least she can tell Ino-pig now that she has shared a shower with Sasuke.
Well that was it for chapter two, I think Itachi will show up in chapter 3.
I know I made some grammar errors in this chapter, so if someone would be so kind to help me out by correcting my mistakes, I would be really glad.
