Chapter Three

The next day, Sakura went out shopping for groceries and supplies. She just needed to re-stock on a few things.

She didn't really have to, but she was still jittery about yesterday's events.

She really hoped that Sai wouldn't find her.

She was ready for the today's lesson this time, unlike the last two half-assed attempts. She spent half the morning preparing and planning the lesson.

She needed to think, so shopping was the idea. She made her way to a specialized weapon shop that showcased disguised weapons specially for undercover missions.

"Oh, hello again, Sakura." the shop owner greeted her warmly. Sakura was a regular there, so the shopkeeper knew her very well.

"Hello, Azyumi, how are you?" Sakura greeted her back. "Is there anything new in stock today?"

The orangey-blonde girl nodded. "Yes, come around here and take a look."

Sakura made her way over the counter, where Azyumi was taking out something in a narrow pale blue box.

"It's senbon, disguised as sticks or pins in hair." she explained. "There's also kunai, also disguised as sticks and pins for hair. These ones are wonderful; I got a few compliments on my choices on the kunai. Those don't slice your hair at all, unlike the previous. I'm actually wearing a few now." she gestured at her elegantly knotted hair, where two sapphire bejeweled handles protruded with dangling silver ornate butterflies.

"They are gorgeous. Do they slip out at all?" Sakura asked, fingering a fiery garnet set of kunai, with red ribbons and soundless golden bells attached. "Does the decoration make throwing and aiming more difficult?"

"Nope. Not at all. Your friend Tenten tried them out for me, and wore them for me to see. She selected a topaz-silver set."

"The set I'm holding, and a few of the green senbon I normally take, please." Sakura reached for her wallet.

"No problem." Azyumi reached under the counter, and took out six emerald senbon, and the pair of kunai Sakura was holding.

Sakura paid her, and bid her goodbye before leaving the shop.

She was walking down the street, when she saw a candy shop. It only meant one thing to the pink-haired temptress.

Chocolate.

It was a treat that she hadn't had in so long, her mouth watered in anticipation. She practically ran into the shop.

She breathed in. The yummy smell of candy. Specifically, her chocolate.

She stood for a minute, gazing into the rows and rows of delicious-looking chocolates.

The shopkeeper popped out. "May I help you, Miss?"

"Yes please." She breathed out, her eyes sparkling at the mere sight of chocolate.

The shopkeeper laughed merrily at her expression. "What would you like?"

"I would like a large bar of plain Godiva dark chocolate, please." She began to rummage through her purse.

The shopkeeper put down oh so sweet smelling chocolate on the counter. Sakura silently handed her the money.

"Thank you so much." Sakura breathed out happily. She walked straight out of the shop, clutching her precious chocolate.

It had been months since she had chocolate. She sorely missed it. She quickly made her way back to her apartment, determined her luxuriously consume her chocolate without interruption.

She danced into her apartment, dropping her groceries on the counter, but holding onto her chocolate and newly acquired weapons. She might as well examine her weapons while indulging in her chocolate.

She peeled back the shiny foil, and broke off a piece. She nipped at it.

Damn, it was so heavenly. The small piece of chocolate melted slowly in her mouth as she brought the entire bar of chocolate to her couch. She broke off another piece, and popped it into her mouth.

She sat down, and began to examine her purchases. She was running her index finger down the blade of the kunai when Sai walked in unceremoniously, scaring Sakura.

"What the hell!" she shrieked. "I told you Sai, use the fucking door!"

He only sat down across from her in her cold leather armchair. "I'm here for my next lesson."

Luckily, she had a sort of an idea for today's lesson.

"Today, I'll be showing you typical….affection when trying to seduce someone."

She popped another piece of luscious chocolate in her mouth, chewing it. Sneakily, she began to rearrange her body into a semi-sexy looking position while lying on a couch.

"Do you know anything at all to start off with? Like anything on giving affection?"

He nodded slowly. He was watching her every move, watching as every limb moved fluidly into position. One knee up, a leg straight, chest stuck out, arm behind head.

"What do you know?"

She dropped another chocolate into her mouth. She could feel his coal-black eyes following every curve of her voluptuous body.

"You hug people. You smile at people. You wave to-"

She cut him off sharply. "No. Now, I want you to forget all that you learned right now about human interaction. I don't care how long it took you to obtain that information; I want you to erase it from your mind. I'm going to re-educate you on this."

He nodded obediently.

She partially unzipped her top down to the tops of her breasts. "Good. Now, touching is good. But not to the extent of being called a pervert."

"What is the extent?" He asked.

"Blatantly touching a girl's ass, spot between the legs and breasts. Though, you are going to have to learn the proper time to touch."

She sat up and gestured for him to move next to her. He obliged. "Now, if I was walking in front of you like this-" she jumped up and walked in front of him, her hips swaying rhythmically.

"You. Do. Not. Touch. Any. Body. Part."

Her threatening tone scared Sai enough to treasure those important words. Her voice promised violence.

He did not want to get hurt today.

He nodded vigorously.

"Good. Now, if a girl sits in your lap like this-" she landed softly on his lap, sitting comfortably against him, arms straight out in front of her "And started to do this-" she lightly ground her hips into his thighs- "You also don't touch. Rather, lightly shove the girl off. Do it."

He lightly shoved her off his lap. He sort of really didn't want to; he was sort of enjoying her short lap dance.

She gave him a surprised look, gave him the cold shoulder and strutted away. She then walked normally back to him.

She studied his face. "When you're shoving a girl off, turn your head away. You shouldn't want her on a mission."

He listened intently. He did not want to screw up.

"Now, if the target is female, and you have to take her down or get information, you're going to try and seduce her."

'Not like you have gotten that part down flat. All you need is practice." she thought with a silent sigh.

"But anyways, I'm off subject. You got that?"

"Yes." he spoke hoarsely sexily.

It sent bone-chilling vibratos down Sakura's spine. she shivered.

She sat down next to him.

He drew his dark eyes towards her, and without warning, gently snatched her chin in one hand.

He gazed into her eyes deeply.

Sakura felt like she was drowning. She noticed slivers of deep blue reflecting in his smoldering eyes.

They stayed like that for a long minute before Sakura flinched and moved.

She turned away. "I think you're a natural."

He cocked his head, not like she could see him. "Natural at what?"

The words burst out of her prettily shaped mouth. "I think you're a natural at this! You actually know all the right actions, right words to say, and you're naturally sexy!"

She covered her mouth before blushing deeply. She turned towards him.

Sai moved of his own accord, leaning towards her. "A natural, you say?" he spoke in that bone-chilling tone.

She leaned back, away from him. Yet he still leaned closer.

He grasped her chin again, and crushed her mouth against his.

He was furiously licking her bottom lip, forcefully demanding entrance.

She granted it, and his hot tongue dove into her open mouth, feeling and tasting all the cracks and crevices in her mouth. He ran the burning extremity along her tingling teeth, giving her no place to moan.

He practically raped her mouth only using his tongue.

Her knees felt weak, her entire body feels like it disintegrated.

She was frozen to the core.

He tore himself away from her. He licked his lips. He repeated himself. "I'm a natural, you say?" he dove back down to her lips.

This time, he was surprisingly gentle. He kept it light, only a simple, flaming kiss between the lips, no tongue action at all. He broke away again.

She could barely speak. "Where have you been hiding this?" she demanded cattily.

He only dropped a withering, impetuously scalding smile, revealing nothing, only dipping back down for another kiss.

This time, it was between mild and innocent, ardent and passionate. She let him in her mouth, their tongues thrashing each other. But he didn't allow that angry, fueled-fiery power into the kiss. It was intimate enough to make a weaker-willed female melt into a puddle of water.

Finally, they ripped themselves away, both gasping for sweet air.

She spoke shakily. "I think you're more than ready, Sai."

He smirked. "Glad you think so."

"But you're going to need a little more practice."

He raised an eyebrow at this.

"…Now, that I've 'assessed' your ability, I still need you to pass my test. You need tweaking, a little more anyways."

"Oh?"

She gave a vanquishing smirk. "Yes."

He was awakened, in Sakura's eyes.

But he held back speaking, knowing that all the disguising and hiding and lying he had done to protect and block his secret was finally to be broken.

There was no actual other way to describe it other than as a secret.

"Well then, shall we?"

.:诱惑:.

Don't ask why, but I decided to start writing a sequel. Damn, it's going to be a long one.

Sorry for making you all wait, hope this is worth it.

Love,
