Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Naruto!
Hey guys! I hope I haven't kept you waiting for too terribly long! I'm really sorry if I've caused any permanent mental damage from the anticipation from the wait. I hope that you all enjoy what I have in store for you! omGOSH I have so many ideas that I feel like willy-wonka and that my stories are candy factories =) and my words are my oompa loompas xDDD and the letters are scrum-didily-ump-shous pieces of candy =)
Now that I've had my daily dose of sped analogies let's get on with the rest of this side note =)
I do have color guard band camp now. I'm going to try and update all my stories at least once before I go to the away portion of camp that I haven't updated since june or later, then I go to La Grange GA for the rest of it… La Grange is like the GA equivalent of death valley in California…. It's going to be absolute HELL!
But I'll take my spiral notebooks with me and jot down ideas and chapter so I can type them up when I get back. For the all day camp portion I SHOULD be able to work a little bit on my stories, but I never know these days. Recently broke up with bf of almost 6 months, being in color guard, practicing my musical-ness, and my artistic drawings all take time! ARG! Anywayz, I'm glad I got a chance to update this one.
This fan fic is one of my second most popular fanfics out of my five stories I have, well out of the four for Naruto, I have one Aquarion story going, so for those of you who have seen that AWESOME anime I encourage you to read my fan fic, and of course my pairing is Apollo and Silvia =)
I hope you enjoy this story! THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THE REVIEWS! =D
Ashiteru 3
"Ino!" Sakura shouted while pounding on her best friend's door, "Ino open this damn door right now!"
Ino didn't know what kind of assault was taking place on her poor front door, but she had a good idea of who was dealing the blows. Ino had just woken up so she was half lidded when she opened the door.
Sakura was about to deal another blow to the door when Ino opened it and Sakura stopped her fist a centimeter away from her best friend's face.
Ino shot backwards cross-eyed from the sudden shock. She then returned to her half lidded state and invited Sakura in. Surprisingly, Ino had become accustomed to her friend's radical behavior, it was simply just another formality for her to deal with in this world.
"Can I get you anything?" Ino asked as she plodded behind Sakura who was walking into the living room to sit on the sofa.
Sakura shook her head then looked down at her palms and let her hair cover her face from Ino's view.
"Uh-oh…" Ino whispered under her breath.
Sakura looked up with a raised brow but before she could say anything Ino said "wait right here I'll be right back. I have to get dressed and then make something really quick."
Sakura just nodded and sat on the couch contemplating how she was going to tell Ino about what had happened the night before between her and Sasuke. It shouldn't be too hard, but she felt like she might make Ino furious with the Uchi-brat and go start another great ninja war over it. Ino did have a tendency to get carried away with her emotions, but then again, so did Sakura.
Sakura saw Ino shuffle into the kitchen and heard the clattering of dishes and other things. Moments later Ino came out with two coffees in her hand.
"Here you go forehead, a strawberry espresso for you, and a mocha latté for me!"
Sakura looked up somewhat confused at Ino, but took the cup none the less. Ino must've known that Sakura was here because she was depressed, otherwise Ino wouldn't have made that gosh darn heavenly strawberry espresso…
"Ino…" Sakura said as she rubbed the rim of the coffee cup, "I think Sasuke's just using me…"
Ino's face suddenly turned shocked and utterly confused. She knew that Uchiha was manipulative when he wanted to be, but how could he do that to her best friend? The bastard!
"Ino…" Sakura whispered, "Please, don't go do something you'll regret…"
"Why would I regret annihilating something that should've never existed on this planet?" Ino shrieked waving her fists as she stood up.
Sakura face palmed herself then said "I only said that I think that's the case. That's why I came here. I want you to find out for me. Then let me know."
"Why do you think he's using you?" Ino asked in a serious tone with a scowl on her face.
"Well… we just haven't been getting along lately, and it just seems like he only keeps me around to ward off all those oogling fan girls of his…" Sakura said as emotionlessly as she could while playing with the palms her hands.
"That bastard!" Ino yelled, "I'll beat the answer out of him!"
"NO!" Sakura yelled as she stood up, "I just want you to tell me if he's using me or not…" she whispered quietly then took her seat.
Ino was about to retort when she heard footsteps coming down the hall and stopped mid-breath to turn her head towards the doorway. Only to find Shikamaru on crutches giving a cold baggy-eyed glare towards the two of them.
"What the hell is all this yelling?" Shikamaru asked in an annoyed tone of voice.
"Sorry honey we'll keep it down…" Ino said as she walked towards her lover to go tuck him back into bed.
When Ino came back after being slightly embarrassed she gave Sakura her word that she would get the answer from him, without beating him… Much to Ino's displeasure.
"Thank you Ino…" Sakura whispered as she headed to the door.
Ino already knew what happened, Sakura probably was being nosy and stumbled upon something important to the Uchiha and he got mad at her. Ino wasn't a master she didn't know what the blanks were, but she put two and two together and pieced together a surprising accurate portrait of what happened.
Sakura walked into the Uchiha compound then walked into Sasuke's house hoping he wasn't awake. She wanted to make him breakfast and then leave again to have some alone time for herself, but she didn't want to leave him with an empty stomach.
As she crept into the house she was startled by a low husky voice, "so where have you been?"
Sakura leapt up in the air and landed square on her butt in the hallway looking into the living room.
She scratched the back of her head and laughed nervously, "nowhere…heh-heh…"
"I'm not buying it…" Sasuke said flatly as he ate the breakfast he made himself since he woke up and Sakura was no where to be found.
Sasuke got up and walked towards the pinkette now standing back up on her feet, or at least trying to, and said "if you plan on going out somewhere at least leave a note."
Sakura fumed at the arrogance of the Uchiha.
When he had walked by her she hissed "like you would ever grant me the same courtesy" and stormed back off to her house across the street.
Sasuke just let out an annoyed sigh then locked himself in his study room. When Sakura returned into her respective house across the street she closed the door and put her back against it then lost herself in thought.
Why are we fighting like this?... isn't there something that I can do to fix it?... But then again, what did I do wrong?...
Sakura kept over thinking and overanalyzing the situation at hand and kept telling herself that there was something that made her fall short and made her annoy Sasuke. She kept thinking that maybe it would be better if she just left. She decided against it because one crucial factor remained, was he or was he not using her? If she could find the answer in that question it would answer many others that had crossed her mind, including whether or not she would stay there.
Sasuke was busying himself in his study and became frustrated at his lack of understanding. He read the words and analyzed the information from the numerous books he was reading, but none of it sank in it just went in one way and back out the other. He then decided to just give it a rest and went out to the garden in the back of his house. He sat down facing the pond of koi-fish and thought about the event that had happened earlier that morning. He thought of why he had come off angry to Sakura, when he was only concerned, and even though he would never admit it he was worried too. Sasuke was never one to show emotions or attachment to people. Naruto was the only exception because of their brother-like friendship, but he even limited his emotions with Naruto to a certain extent. Why was Sakura subconsciously pushing his limits and pressing his buttons? He knew she wasn't trying to at least, she was just being herself, and as long as she didn't change, neither would he.
They were both stubborn and set in their own ways. Maybe that was their problem. As Sasuke thought it over, he realized that that was the reason why he had been attracted to her in the first place. Not just the fact that Kiba had dared him to do it with her and wound up getting her pregnant. They seemed to get along better when she had a baby inside of her and their relationship had a purpose. What was the drive for it now? Just each other's company?
Sasuke wasn't sure what the answer was, but one thing was for sure, he needed to apologize. As much as the word "sorry" burned his tongue like an inferno, he knew that was what he needed to do, what a man needed to do. His father had often told him that when a boy turns into a man he learns what he must do to protect and care for the people he loves, whatever it takes to keep them close to you. Even as a boy, Sasuke's father had often taught him things about being a man.
Sasuke having figured out his answer, got up from the koi pond with a mind much more at peace than before. He returned into his study and was actually able to function properly. Sakura on the other hand, was freaking out in her own home thinking and loosing herself so badly in thought that everything just went blank. Eventually she found herself asleep and wound up passing out from mental exhaustion on her sofa. She just couldn't take the stress anymore. She thought that venting to Ino might've fixed things, but to be truthful, she was nervous that Ino might do something reckless that would ruin her chances with Sasuke. She was technically in a relationship with him, but it wasn't like anything was permanent. He could break it off whenever he wanted to.
Sasuke decided that he would leave Sakura be for the time being and go into town for a nice walk and maybe pick up some things for Sakura to make dinner. She had left a list in the kitchen and forgotten it, but Sasuke thought that maybe he should just get what she needed and leave her be. He didn't know if she was angry, upset, or both.
"Uchiha…" he heard a malice voice hiss from behind him.
When Sasuke turned around he was face to face with Naruto. Sasuke just kept a blank face wondering what the blond nuisance wanted this time.
"Sasuke-teme! You promised you would spar with me this morning!" Naruto shouted waving his arms in the air like a chicken with its head cut off.
Sasuke rolled his eyes then grunted "something came up."
"Don't give me that crap!" Naruto yelled, "Let's go! Right now!"
Sasuke closed his eyes and pinched the skin between his eyes then muttered "I don't have time for this right now dobe, later."
"You bastard! I want to spar! Right now!" Naruto yelled relentlessly following the Uchiha.
Sasuke finally fed up with his blond friend's nagging for the past fifteen minutes decided to give the blond what he deserved, a good ass kicking.
"Fine" Sasuke grunted as he turned around with his Sharingan activated.
"Right here, right now!" Naruto yelled making fists.
"Hold it!" a third voice shouted and stepped in between the two enraged men.
Whoever it was, they had a lot of confidence to step in the midst of a battle that was on a whole other level with the skill sets each of them possessed.
"I have some business with this Uchiha first Naruto, I'll only be a minute, I promise" Ino said as she drug the Uchiha away by his shirt collar.
Sasuke would've broken free from the annoying grip of the Kunoichi, but he would rather be drug away than deal with the other annoying blond around the corner annoying the fire out of him, literally.
"We need to talk" Ino said as she released his shirt collar and stood in a snooty pose with her hands on her hips and an irritated expression on her face tapping her foot.
"What do you want" Sasuke said flatly crossing his arms with a scowl plastered on his face.
"I need a 100% honest answer to a question."
"What?"
"Are you using Sakura?"
Sasuke remained silent and simply glared at the arrogant blond girl glaring right back at him with just as much ferocity.
"You know" Ino said with a snooty tone, "to ward off all your crazy malevolent fan girls?"
Sasuke took offense to the question and how it had no grounds for discussion. He attempted to walk away when he felt a firm hand on his shoulder.
"Answer the question" Ino said growing more and more impatient with the Uchiha, tightening her grip on his shoulder, "It's important."
"No" the Uchiha said flatly shrugging off Ino's hand and walking away.
Ino stood there with her arms crossed, eyes closed, and a satisfied smirk on her face. She went off towards the Uchiha compound to go talk to Sakura, since Sasuke wouldn't be there. Ino had a feeling that he was getting some fresh air, and picking up a few things to take home, so he would be a while.
Sakura woke up to a loud pounding on her door. It felt like the room was spinning and everything was blurry. It was almost like she had a hangover. Sakura knew that wasn't the case so she slowly stood up off the sofa and walked to her door where the pounding was coming from. She opened the door only to see her friend Ino.
"Ino…" Sakura mumbled, "what are you doing here so late?"
Ino raised her brow and gave her pinkette friend a skeptical look then said "what are you talking about? It's only 5pm! It's not late at all girl!"
Sakura rubbed her eyes then turned her head to look at the coo-coo clock by the door. She found out that Ino was right, it really only was 5pm.
"Oh…" was the only word Sakura managed to say.
Ino let her self in and sat down on the sofa in the living room. Sakura closed the door, yawned, and then followed her friend back into the living room. She was wearing blue shorts (like sophies) and a pink tank top, as well as her fuzzy pink slippers. She settled down on the sofa then placed her hands in her lap and played with them.
"You know why I'm here don't you?" Ino asked while giving her friend an 'are you serious?' look from how depressed she seemed.
Sakura only nodded in reply while Ino crossed her arms and just glared at her pessimistic friend.
"He's not using you" Ino said flatly.
Sakura quit fiddling with her hands and froze.
She didn't dare look up to look her friend in the eye, but now she knew the way Sasuke was acting was for a reason. He had grounds to be concerned where she'd been, and even though he might not have left her a note, she was the kind of person who did leave notes about her whereabouts so people didn't worry. Sasuke was only thinking of her safety.
By the time Sakura had come back to reality from her lost venture of thought, Ino was gone, no where to be seen. She must have let herself out, just how she had let herself in. Sakura looked at the clock and realized that it was almost time for her to cook dinner and scrambled to find her grocery list, she then remembered she left it over at Sasuke's house and crept across the street and hoped he wasn't home.
When she walked inside she didn't sense his chakra so she began looking through cupboards and drawers frantically searching for the missing grocery list of the things she needed to get for dinner. She should already be making it by now, but that visit from Ino had distracted her.
"Looking for this?" Sasuke asked holding up a small sheet of paper in his hand, and groceries in the other.
Sakura stood up and turned around to see him standing there with her grocery list and her grocery shopping. She was so shocked and confused that she just stood there blank faced and dumbfounded. How come Sasuke would do something like this?
"Sorry for earlier" he said in a casual and insincere tone of voice as he set the groceries and grocery bags down on the kitchen counter then walked into the living room and sat at the table on the floor and turned on the TV.
Sakura sweat dropped at how casually he tried to apologize, but then again, this was Sasuke. He never even said that word to anyone, so she should count herself lucky. She just let out a sigh of frustration and began cooking dinner.
She made a miso soup with a separate dish of lomaine. She set the table up and somewhat ignored Sasuke's staring at her and took her seat next to him facing the TV. The two of them awkwardly ate in silence.
"Sakura" Sasuke said getting the kunoichi's attention, "There's something else."
Before Sakura could answer with a question of her own, "Wha-"
(if you want play "Like That" by JoJo)
Sasuke had her in a lip lock and was leaning over her causing her to drop her chop sticks and wrap her arms around his neck. Sasuke instinctively lowered her to the carpet between the table and the sofa. He was on all fours supporting his weight on his two hands on each side of Sakura's head. He gently moved from her mouth to her jaw line to her ear then down her neck to her nape where he nipped at her skin. She let out a slight moan but Sasuke knew she was holding back, so he stealthily moved his hand up the back of her shirt and undid her bra clasp. Her eyes widened for a minute, but Sasuke just ignored it and smirked. He pulled the straps through the sleeves of her shirt then slipped it out from under her shirt. Sasuke could see that her nipples were almost fully erected through her shirt.
"Sneaky bastard…" Sakura muttered mentally, "Two can play at that game…"
She had a sly smirk plastered on her face which made Sasuke a little uneasy. He raised a brow and gave her a questioning look then she arched her back and pressed her chest up against his. He still had a shirt on, but he would feel everything. It was so enticing that he couldn't help himself he lost almost all control.
Sasuke slid off his shirt then bent back down to claim Sakura's lips in a passionate, fiery kiss. Sakura let out a slightly louder moan than the one before. Sasuke grinned with satisfaction as he slid his hand under Sakura's shirt and cupped one of her breasts. She took both of her hands and grabbed the arm Sasuke was using as he massaged and rubbed her breasts using his thumb to make circular patterns around her areola. Sakura's face was red and her breathing erratic as she squirmed underneath his touch.
Sasuke reclaimed her lips once more to calm her down has he let his weight fall on her slightly pinning her to the floor. Sakura broke away from the kiss and took a deep breath as Sasuke slid her pants off. Sakura smirked and slid his off as well. Both lower body coverings were tossed aside and the two entangled their limbs again.
Sakura giggled then said "you get everything you want, ne?"
Sasuke bent down so his mouth was right next to Sakura's ear then with a blow of hot air against her ear he whispered "almost everything" then licked her earlobe sending shivers down her spine.
Sakura squirmed once again from his breath fanning so close to her. Sasuke simply smirked in amusement. This girl knew just how to mess with him, without even trying.
"Sas-sasuke k-kuuun!" she whimpered as he slid his tongue along her jaw line.
Sasuke slid his hand back out from under her shirt and slid off her shirt and was face to face hovering over her. He just looked into her lust clouded eyes while the ends of his raven locks tickled her face. She giggled from the black hair skimming her face and squirmed a little. Sasuke smirked then claimed her lips again.
Sakura decided it was her move and reached down and played with the elastic band of Sasuke's boxers.
"what did I tell you about teasing me?" Sasuke slightly playful tone.
Sakura just giggled as Sasuke moved her hand and took the boxers off himself and tossed them aside.
"Hey aren't those the-"
"Hn" he said then cut her off and kissed her placing two fingers against the outside of her panties to feel how wet she was.
(He was wearing the boxers that he was given for his birthday from the last chapter xD)
Sakura moan in his mouth as he applied the pressure to check.
"This should be enough" he thought to himself.
Sakura arched her back as she felt Sasuke playing at the entrance to her womanhood. She moaned and fidgeted. Sasuke decided to slide two fingers in, and then while she was preoccupied with the pleasure he slipped the panties off and tossed them aside like all the other articles of clothing. Sasuke felt her juices running down his fingers then took them out and licked them in front of her face seductively.
"Damn…" she mentally hissed, trying to keep herself from forcefully speeding things up.
She decided that this time, Sasuke was going to have total control, to make up for earlier. This would be like her own apology.
Sasuke noticed how Sakura had seemed to stop squirming from his fingers so he made scissors with them inside her. He flexed and contracted the muscles in her canal. Sakura didn't know where he'd learned this, but it was making her head spin.
Sasuke soon lost amusement in his new trick and drew his fingers out and licked the entrance of her love pocket. When he raised his head back up to look at her, Sasuke stroked her inner thy and saw how her eyes were glazed over and half lidded, and her cheeks had a rosy tint to them as well.
"Now for the fun part" Sasuke said with a smirk as he held onto Sakura's waist and thrust into her.
Sakura let out a cry of ecstasy as Sasuke picked up the pace and began to quicken his speed as he thrust to the hilt inside of her. He hit her sweet spot every single time. She almost came, but Sasuke wouldn't loose her yet. He pulled out and dropped on all fours in between her legs panting and wiped the sweat from his brow. Then he sat on the floor and had Sakura straddle his lap. She positioned her entrance right above his bulging member and dropped down.
"We've done this position too many times…" Sasuke thought to himself as he bounced Sakura up and down on his lap pulling in and out of her.
He stopped the bouncing then decided to try a new position. He set her on the couch so her back was lying down but from the waist down she was off the couch and her feet were on the ground. (The butterfly position /sp_)
Sakura moan as Sasuke thrust in and out of her. He then decided to take the pleasure up a notch and started rubbing her clit ever so gently as not to desensitize it to the touch.
Finally in a whirlwind of uncontrollable ecstasy Sakura came with flying colors. Sasuke soon followed due to the contraction of Sakura's vaginal walls.
"That… was... the best… make-up… sex…EVER!" Sakura chirped in between pants of fatigue.
"Then don't ruin it" Sasuke said bluntly while covering her mouth and making his way onto the couch using the arm rest as a back rest and pulling Sakura up into his lap then draping a blanket by the in table over both of them. Sasuke didn't dare close his eyes. He might miss something, that and he felt himself becoming protective/possessive of Sakura. What felt weird was that it was a different kind of possession. It wasn't selfishness, or greed, but it was… love?
Sasuke wasn't sure, but as soon as Sakura fell asleep he kept one arm draped over her waist and used the other hand on the other arm to hold the TV remote. He kept the volume down so as not to wake up his sleeping beauty.
Sakura looked so peaceful and childish resting on his chest, with her open palms resting on each side of her head on his chest. Sasuke just smirked wondering how many more moments like this he would get to experience with her. If it were his choice he wouldn't put a limit on it, but life didn't work that way. Everyone has their own choice, she could choose to split up with him. Sasuke doubted it, but also everyone's life had a span, no one lived forever. For Sasuke, his choice was now, or never.
To Be Continued…
