"it's already cold," Zetsu said by way of greeting as he pressed the lacquered lunchbox in Sakura's palms. She noted that she was holding her chopsticks in a defensive way, like she would a kunai. She flexed her numb hands and accepted her lunch. She ate her lunch in total silence in her room and proceeded to sleep, almost mechanically.

She later woke up with a throbbing headache and would have run to the toilet to be sick when she felt a presence in her room. She stayed still, lying alert on her bed.

"Sakura." It was Sasuke, plopped down on his side of the bed, eyes towards the ceiling. "Is he bothering you?"

"Who? Zetsu?"she replied cheerfully. She felt happy at the sight of him.

"No. My son."

"No, he's a good boy. Never complaining."she gave a little smile in the dark and caressed her belly.

"Good."Sasuke got up from bed and started for the door.

He was doing it again, shutting her out when she want so much to reach out. Sakura ran to prevent him from even reaching the doorknob. She took hold of his arm and in a breathless way said, " Stay the night... here... in my room..." she gulped "we can... f-fuck... all night"Her cheeks red in shame.

He didn't need more coaxing. He approached her cautiously like a panther. He put both hands on her shoulders.

"You seem a little horny than usual," he said in his usual quiet way, "must be the hormones eh, Sakura?"

"Is it a bad thing?"she dared to ask, always bent on pleasing him.

"Hell no," he smirked, pushing her unto the bed. "I like it this way,"he unceremoniously freed her from her clothes.

"Sasuke..."she reached for him when he took a few steps back to step out of his clothes.

"Easy baby, easy..."he teased. She went back to bed and kneel down in anticipation.

"Man, are we eager tonight?"He went right after her, cupping her face with his hands and ransacking her mouth with his own. She fell flat to the mattress, her hands grabbing his hair, pulling him down in the process.

"I love you Sasuke, I love you,"she chanted whenever she can break free from his torrid kisses. He kissed her harder in response.

"Oh how I love you,"she keened when his tongue started to make a wet trail down her breasts. When his tongue touched the tip of her nipple, she screamed.

"You're hot," he rasped, "I didn't even touch you that much."

She clamped her mouth shut in embarrassment. She watched him milk her breasts with deep fervor and just when she felt like shouting in exultation, she bit her lower lip.

"They've grown fuller Sakura," Sasuke raised his head up from her soft mounds, his eyes filled with child-like wonder. "Ripe and plump, ready for the picking..." he gave her breasts a little squeeze, "I can barely wait to take a bite."

"N-no!"she said in small protest but it was too late. Already he was sucking and biting her breasts to his liking. Tears pooled in her eyes caused by both pain and adoration. Pain for her breasts were made sore by her pregnancy; Adoration for the man above her, the man she would like to please even if it pains her.

It took her a few moments to realize Sasuke was just hovering above her now, just observing her with his midnight black eyes.

"Sasuke?"

"Touch yourself."He pulled back, switched to a sitting position at the foot of the bed. His silence unnerved her. He was usually noisy and vulgar on bed.

"No please..."a shiver went up from her toes. He sat there brooding even when his penis was rigid, pointing to his belly button. She wouldn't like to taste the edge of his anger.

"What?"he pretended not to hear.

"No. Fuck me instead,"she closed her eyes as she said so. Her mother would kill her. Hadn't her mother told her that a woman shouldn't beg?

Sasuke grinned. His grin turned to a chuckle which turned into a laugh. All the while Sakura lay there, tansfixed, shocked to witness such a rare incident.

"You're a delight Sakura," he said right after he calmed down. "Say it again and I might fuck you real god."

She flushed. He was still smirking in amusement for her. It felt good to be the one to make him laugh. Emboldened by it she whispered,

"fuck me."

He reached for her and placed her thighs on his shoulders,

"can't hear you baby,"he teased her clit with his nose, nuzzling it slowly.

"Ah, fuck me,"she said, her eyelids fluttering in pleasure.

"Louder," he rasped, "louder or I might not eat you up." He was looking directly at her opening, "you're so pink in here that I can hardly wait to eat you up like it's the peak of pussy season Sakura, so-"

"F-fuck me..."

"Hmm..."

"Fuck me Sasuke, fuck me!"she shouted as loud as she can.

"lemme eat you first," with that he sucked her dripping wet opening making her yell out curses she can't imagine saying.

"Oh fuck sasuke.."he licked her sex in tightening circles so that her body, like a bow, arched from the bed.

"Fuck me, Oh-kami-fuck me,"and nibbled her clit slowly she can barely breathe.

"Aaah please.."he spread both cheeks of her sex and inserted his tongue in her pink hot wet inviting warmth.

"Sasuke please," she keened, "love me."

He froze. She shut her eyes and her hands, which by then were clinging to the headboard, were shaking in disappointment. So she wasn't satisfied of just declaring her love for him, she want him to love her back too. And Sasuke doesn't seem to like it.

"Fuck me,"she said after a pregnant silence. And forget what I said.

He wordlessly reached for her lips and kissed her before thrusting inside her opening. He broke the kiss only to concentrate on screwing her, tunneling his penis from side to side.

"Speak,"she said unnerved by his silence.

"Shit,"he complied, his nostril flaring in exertion.

She looked directly at him to rad whatever was on his mind. His fringed hair unfortunately covered his eyes and sweat dripped from his jaw down to her breasts.

"Sweet fuck,"he groaned, ramming hard his shaft inside her.

".You"she whispered in the air. The sight of him, damp with sweat, moving above her made her chest ache. She contracted her tight walls to squeeze his shaft in. More lubrication bathe her sex making it easier for Sasuke to bury his penis to the hilt.

"Fuck-kami,"he swore. He gripped her butt and fucked her furiously. She felt the end coming, she wrapped her arms and legs around his damp body and undulated for dear life.

"Fuck you..."Sasuke slapped the headboard with both palms and thrust in and out of her like a madman. The bed was about to break with their frenetic movements. He slam in one last time before he ejaculated, bathing his son in her womb with his seeds. She came after him with just a split second in between.

"Ha! fuck me... you say?"he rasped and rolled to lay down on his side of the bed; the bed's creaking coming to a stop.

Sakura nodded, too busy catching her breath. Love me I said.

He toyed with her damp hair, catching some pink strands and twirling it around his fingers.

"We'll relocate our base in a week," he said sleepily, his eyes closed. "The battle on the front is getting ugly, we'll find a safe place for you and my son."

"How about you?" Sakura turned to face him.

"Madara has great plans for me, I'll be fighting alongside him when the time is right. Though I don't trust him that much."

"I want to help Sasuke,"she said automatically.

"Nonsense," he sat up and faced her, "You're with my son. It's best for you to stay out of this."

"But who's gonna treat you if you get wounded in the battle while I'm locked up somewhere safe?"

"Don't be stupid. Who's gonna protect your ass while I'm fighting out there?"

"Well who's gonna drag you back in our base if you ever get killed?"Sakura sat up.

"I'm not going to be killed,"he said point blank.

"Well, me neither."

"How about my son?"he reached out to touch her slightly swollen belly. The life inside her gave a surge of chakra. Their eyes met and Sakura nodded.

"Right," she sniffed. "Right. I'm sorry."she wasn't using her head much these days.

"Sleep on it,"he said and he turned to lay on his side. He patted the space beside him, coaxing her to sleep that close to him. She complied, laying with her back on him. He enveloped her in his embrace, his palms finally resting on her belly. They were a family of three tonight, she thought. She smiled when she heard his little snores, he was asleep in an instant.

"Goodnight,"she whispered caressing his hands on her belly. She was becoming overt sentimental and it was killing her. Sasuke haven't got a need for wimping woman. Well blame it on the pregnancy hormones wreaking havoc on her emotions.

She freed herself from his embrace without disturbing his sleep. She walked slowly to the windows and pulled the heavy drapes aside. She smiled when she saw the beauty of the night through the glass window. Fireflies above the dancing bamboos; Mountain ranges obstructing the horizon; and the moon, the full moon illuminating the path leading to the waterfalls where Karin waited for her.
