AN: Most fight scenes will be skipped seeing as I'm terrible at them. Also once the school year starts I will not be on as often to update the chapters seeing as I'm on the colorguard and we have no time to ourselves.

Sakura awoke to a pounding headache and fuzzy vision. If she'd ever had a hangover this would've been worse than even Tsunade's. Groaning Sakura sat up rubbing her temples. Where was she? This defiantly wasn't her bed and she wasn't in the hospital… "Oh no..." she whispered finally remembering what had happened the other day. It was then that her heightened senses herd a door open and someone walk into the room. Sakura's jade eyes came up and clashed with onyx, so captivating, so entrancing, so…why was she thinking this?! She shook her head to get rid of the mental image she was going over. He was an S-rank missing nin and she was currently being held captive by him.

"Finally awake hmm?" Sasuke said his voice holding completely no emotion at all. Sakura rolled her eyes she'd been in love with this?? An icicle that couldn't even say more than 5 words at a time.

"Why are you keeping me here Sasuke?" once again her words were laced with poison for this angsty, emo boy. Sasuke's mind was wandering. Where was the –kun she'd put on the end of his name so lovingly before?

"…" no comment. Figures…what more could you expect from the stoic man standing before her. Sakura sighed in annoyance as her body screamed in pain. All her wounds from before were still open and infected, not to mention full of dirt and salt. Wincing she laid back on the bed and exhaled slowly. She knew she was in no condition to fight let alone heal herself, her chakra was completely drained and the pain in her head would not assist her in anyway. "Sakura, you need to wash yourself and clean the infection out of those wounds." Sasuke said matter-o-factly. Hmmm…didn't think he cared let alone say that many words in a sentence.

"Oh really now…what are you my mother?? Sasuke, you ran away with a gay pedophile and left me on a bench. I could've been raped! And now you're saying I need to take care of an infection?!" Sakura was now infuriated and weakly standing on her feet still in her shredded clothes and glaring defiantly at the renowned Uchiha heir. He didn't respond and Sakura gazed warily at him watching for any sign of the sharingan as he walked forward nearer to her. She didn't even feel fear now; Sakura was set on killing this bastard if he ever laid a hand on her.

Sasuke watched in curiosity at the rosette kunoichi. No one had ever stood up to him even this woman who'd been on his team all those years ago. And now in her weakest state, no chakra and fatigue consuming her body, she was willing to fight him with her entire being to the death. Slowly Sasuke began walking forward watching her eyes carefully, those eyes…that showed every emotion clear as day, for any sign of resistance. Within moments he was only an arm's length away from her. Sasuke's eyes held amusement as Sakura went rigid at how close he was to her; she kept her eyes level not looking up at his face. Like he would use the sharingan on her, he chuckled and looked down on her again. Then unexpected to each of them Sasuke pulled Sakura into a firm embrace.

Sakura was sure that her face held all the possible shades of red on it when Sasuke had pulled her into his well defined chest. She heard him whispering something into her hair but couldn't hear what it was all she knew was his strong, wonderful aroma was intoxicating her senses and making her think like she was 12. Fighting to get past the fact that she was having a suppressed fangirl moment Sakura caught a bit of what Sasuke was trying to tell her.

"…I plan on killing Orochimaru within the week, Itachi's dead. Soon Sakura, soon I'll come back. Just remember you belong to me…" that's all she caught before she fell asleep in his protecting arms.

Sasuke felt Sakura go limp in his arms and decided that she was finally asleep. Picking her up bridal style he carried her over to the bed once more. Laying Sakura down he got in the bed beside her and wrapped a protective arm around her petite waist and buried his face into her strawberry scented hair.

The snake sannin was on the prowl (A/N: O.o) he was gonna get his way with Sasuke tonight whether he wanted it or not. Slowly he made his way to Sasuke's room he began sensing an unfamiliar chakra, nothing remarkable except it was right next to his Sasu-chan's chakra signature. Enraged at what it could be Orochimaru decided to come back later when Sasuke wasn't around. Now in a very pissy mood the snake man sulked his way back down the shadows of the hall.

It was dawn when Sasuke woke, he still held the pinkette in his embrace and he smiled amusingly when he let go of her and got out of bed when she moved to the still warm spot that he'd just occupied. Sasuke then went around the room preparing it for Sakura, such as pulling out a slightly old kimono from the chest in the corner and preparing her breakfast, also Sasuke put a seal on the door from the hall into his room and wrote a note to Sakura about where he was and what she was to do while he was gone. When Sasuke was happy with his preparations he leaned over Sakura's still sleeping body and softly kissed her slightly parted lips before leaving.

Sakura woke almost 3 hours later finding no Sasuke. She felt a million times better and felt like she could beat Tsunade again. Slowly getting up so as not to put any strain on her still healing body she walked over to the small table where a covered plate and a note were set. Opening the note first she began to read its contents it went along the lines of this:

Sakura, help yourself to breakfast, there is a kimono over on the chest it's now yours. Also the bathroom is through that other set of double black tinted French doors; you will find a nice hot spring for you to bathe in. I will be back around the time you begin to get hungry again. Please don't try to leave the room or you'll be sorry.

Sakura smirked at this then looked at the covered plate. "this must be breakfast…" she stated out loud. Lifting up the cover she found pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, and hash browns along with a glass of orange juice. Sakura's mouth betrayed her when it started watering uncontrollably; she sighed and gave into her hunger. At the first bite she was amazed. The food tasted even better than it smelled!! Who knew Sasuke was such a great cook?
After finishing her meal Sakura walked over to the chest and grabbed the said kimono and looked it over. The neck line was reasonable coming up to almost her chin, and the cloth brushed her ankles with slits coming up to her knees and the pattern being that of cherry blossoms. The base color was a light pink with the sakura petals being white. Sakura's eyes lit up at the sight but carefully folded it up and hung it over her arm picked up the towel that was conveniently located underneath it and made her way through the French doors. Steam met her face as Sakura made her way through the thick, moist, warm air.

Sakura felt at peace in the luke warm spring. Finally at peak chakra again she began healing her many wounds and scratches. Then after finishing the task Sakura focused on washing her blood matted hair. At last with unmarred skin and her body feeling squeaky clean (A/N yeah well that was for the lack of a better word) she climbed out of the spring because the heat was getting to her. Quickly she toweled off and put on her bra. Next came her chest bindings which she replaced with new gauze she found in Sasuke's room. Finally Sakura pulled on the silk kimono that held the Uchiha symbol neatly stitched on the back. Quickly she made her way back to Sasuke's room where he would be soon on account that she was starting to become hungry again.

Sasuke made his way across the clearing above ground covered in sweat from his rigorous training that he forced himself through everyday. He was feeling very accomplished of himself who said having a girl made you humble?? Heck Sasuke felt at the top of the world right now. He had killed his brother, he was days away from getting rid of Michael Jackson, and Sakura was a doll. Quickly Sasuke made his way down the stairs into the underground hideout and went directly to his room.

Sakura had been sitting on Sasuke's bed sharpening her katana when the door opened and the sleek black haired Adonis of her dreams stepped in. He nodded his greeting and she hers but nothing else was said Sakura continued sharpening and cleaning her precious katana as Sasuke laid out on the bed and fell asleep…not really.

Sasuke walked in to his room just loud enough to be detectable so as he didn't scare Sakura. He saw her on the bed in his mother's kimono cleaning her katana that sported a pink gold handle. He nodded his acknowledgment not wanting her to feel awkward if he complemented her on how she looked. Walking over to her side he laid down on the bed and sighed breathing in her ethereal scent as she continued to polish her obviously well cared for and loved katana.

"Where'd you get that?" he asked quietly watching her delicate alabaster hands gracefully run up and down the lethal blade.

"It was a present for my 20th birthday from Tsunade for becoming an ANBU captain." Sakura responded curtly not looking up from her work. Sasuke fingered a strand of Sakura's long rosette hair which she'd grown back out. Sasuke sat back up and pulled Sakura into his lap, finding no resistance; he then nuzzled the top of her head and breathed in deeply. Hey even the great almighty Sasuke Uchiha had hormones and who could blame him? It was Sakura's turn to ask the questions however. "Sasuke what are going to do with me? Why did you bring me here…I haven't been able to get over what happened. Sasuke," she turned and glared at the Uchiha holding her, "I almost killed myself because of my torment. Just weeks after you left my parents were slaughtered and I was shut in the solitary wing in the hospital." The tears were flowing now as Sakura relived the horrors of what happened 8 years ago. Sasuke felt a knot growing in the pit of his stomach as he pictured this woman in his arms in a white strait jacket to keep her from harming herself, syringes containing sedatives pushed roughly into her pale skin, the chemicals mixed in with her food...all this made Sasuke queasy.

"I-I didn't know…Sakura I had done it for you. If I had really shown that I loved you Itachi would've come after you and killed you." Sasuke pleaded with the crying girl. He noticed she was gripping her blade harder than was healthy and watched as the rivulets of blood slowly ran down her fingers. She was now shaking from crying so hard. Sasuke worked on calming her, his hand made its way up and carefully cupped Sakura's chin slowly bringing her to look up into his eyes as he leaned in capturing her lush lips in a passionate kiss.

Sakura opened her eyes in surprise amazed at what Sasuke was now doing. She hadn't felt this giddy and relieved for a while. His lips were speaking to her, showing her his empathy and begging for forgiveness. Sakura began to move her lips against his but soon they had to break apart for air.

"I'm sorry."

"I forgive you."

Once more Sasuke closed the gap between them and molded his mouth to hers. It wasn't long before he was begging entrance into Sakura's mouth she obliged and the two tongues intertwined and separated again within the pinkette's mouth as they fought for dominance. Sakura's arms snaked their way up to Sasuke's neck where they pulled her closer deepening the kiss. Once again they broke apart both their faces red from lack of oxygen. They both fell back onto the bed panting trying to catch their breath. Sasuke then rolled on top of poor Sakura who oomph-ed and started to play with the buttons on the kimono only to be met by soft feminine hands stopping him. Sasuke looked up questioningly into Sakura's viridian eyes.

"No not now." Sakura eyes crinkled into a smile because she knew Sasuke would listen. Sasuke feeling very deprived and shoved in his place (coughhumilitizedcough) surrendered to her will much to the surprise to him. Instead he settled to falling asleep with her in his arms once again.

Sakura woke once more to find herself alone in Sasuke's room she got up and walked over to the covered plate once again and ate the most delicious breakfast in the world. So intrigued she was by it that she didn't notice the door open and a figure step into the room silently.

"Sssssso you're the one that'sss been in here with my Sssssssasssssuke-chan." Sakura whipped her head around in time to catch a glimpse of the snake pedophile until darkness overcame her vision.

Orochimaru had been infuriated when he'd walked in to see our favorite pinkette in Sasuke's room, yet it had been slightly amusing to see the horror on her face. Walking over to the chair he quickly picked up the pinkette and threw her over his shoulder. Planning on what he'd do to her to get back at his Sasu-chan. He grew giddy at the image of Sasuke's fury when he would find out what had happened to his little whore.

Sasuke was once again walking back inside from training without a care in the world when he smelt blood. Fresh. Blood. Sasuke being the grumpy butt that he is however completely ignored the fact that he was just now catching its whiff. As he walked down the hall he stopped by his door and began to have an ominous feeling when he saw his hair missing from the seal in the door. Quickly he opened the door to find Sakura gone and half her breakfast still intact and cold along with all her weapons still in the corner of the room. "Damn!" Sasuke shouted as he ran out of the room at the speed of sound.

When Sasuke arrived in Orochimaru's chambers he saw Sakura tied to the wall with hundreds of cuts and gashes all over her body all very deep and the kimono just barely hanging to her figure now.

"Orochimaru." Sasuke hissed activating his sharingan and searching the shadows.

"Oh Ssssassuke…how nice of you to join ussss. We were jusssst playing a game of colorssss my sssstyle." The snake pedophile retaliated stepping out of the shadows followed by his little rat Kabuto.

"Let her go." Sasuke's eyes flashed angrily

"Oh isss Ssssassuke mad at me??" Anime tears fell from Orochimaru's eyes as he turned to Kabuto who embraced him and rubbed comforting circles in his back as he glared at Sasuke. "I'll get you for that Sssassu-chan!" Orochimaru yelled like an obsessed gay. Making his way over to Sakura he pulled out a sword from his throat covered in a purple-ish liquid and ran it through Sakura's abdomen twisted it around 360o and pulled it out once again.

Sasuke's chest tightened at Sakura's screams and clenched his fists before grabbing his katana and charging Orochimaru. "YOU BASTARD!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!" the next thing you saw was two giant snakes and a huge battle underway.

Kabuto smirked and made his way over to the now unconscious Sakura. Cutting her down he then poofed them out of the vicinity of the two fighting figures out near an active volcano. Taking out a kunai of his own he roughly slashed through both of Sakura's Achilles tendons and cut through the bindings covering her chest. Deciding that it would not be fun or satisfying to do in a corpse Kabuto left to go back to his master.

AN: yeah I like it better having Itachi dead first and then killing Orochimaru because then he has his totally awesome new sharingan (happens when team "Snake" is changed to "hawk"). Also I tried adding a little fluff to make this more interesting for my friends X.x any who

please review

I encourage flames

I NEED MORE IDEAS!!

Love forever
