He stared intently at the sleeping figure, peacefully asleep on his own bed. It was nearing midnight, moments ago that Sakura dropped against her will. Sasuke then decided not to disturb her slumber, (she obviously needed rest) and gently laid her on his own bed.

His eyes remained on Sakura. They traveled from her smooth, lean, legs to her more-than-average figure. His eyes continued staring, but his mind was thinking ungodly thoughts.

Go on. Take advantage of her. God, it was so tempting. So easy as well. He placed a gentle hand on the base of her calf and allowed it to smoothly roam upwards. His touch caused no change to the serene expression written across her face. But when his eyes met her closed lids, his hand froze, now appalled at his own feelings. He noticed that it was just a couple inches away from her plaid skirt and quickly unhanded it. Why was it so difficult this time? If any other girl was asleep on his bed, he'd feel no guilt. It seemed harder to actually pursue his impulse rather than to resist it. It's not that Sasuke wouldn't do it...he would, really. Sakura was unconscious. What's the pleasure in that? And what would happen eventually? He'd most likely feel regretful and Sakura would feel like...a whore. That, and it would most likely jeopardize the chances of his date.

For now, it was best to let her rest. The only touching that occurred involved Sasuke adjusting her sleeping position. He threw his thick blanket over her, careful not wake her.

He felt his face soften at the sight of her, smiling just before he left the room.

7:04 am

Where am I? This can't be my bed. It's too soft. Waking up is such a difficulty for most teenagers. Sakura's body, however, grew so accustomed to it, that she was capable of waking up without an alarm clock.

It was when her eyes adapted to the darkness that she realized she was still at Sasuke's condo.

In his bedroom.

On his bed.

She instantly panicked, slipped out of the blanket, slightly relieved to find all her clothes on. WHAT.THE.HELL.HAPPENED?????

It was her turn to find Sasuke, completely knocked out, laying on the living room couch. Unlike Sasuke though, she had the bravery to wake him. Without any hesitation, she ripped the thin blanket wrapped around him, unaware that the poor boy was half-naked, wearing only pair of plaid green boxers. She shook him in a frenzied manner though Sasuke refused to rise. After several failed attempts and frustrations, Sakura straddled on top of him without thought.

"SASUKE!!" she screeched to his ear. "WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT??"

His shut eyes began to twitch open, uneager to awake. Sakura remained in her awkward position as he fully awoke.

"WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?? WHY AM I HERE?" Sakura repeated angrily. He smiled cunningly. "Now, this is a pleasant way to wake up," said Sasuke,

"Hey!! If you touched me in anyway last night–"

"Look Sakura," said Sasuke, a little annoyed. "I'm half naked with only boxers covering me. I happen to be very cold and you are on top of me...Therefore it should be me that's worried about getting raped this time"

Oh.

Suddenly realizing that he wasn't lying, Saskura dismounted from his abdominal area, trying with effort to conceal an extremely visible blush.

"Sorry," Sakura muttered, disguising her humiliation in nervous laughter. "I just needed to find out if–" Sasuke snickered . "You don't have to worry. You passed out due to exhaustion. "It's what you get for putting your brain on overdrive" He gave her a firm look, assuring her that his statement was no lie. Sakura was silenced.

"Okay, well can I at least have a ride to my house?" she asked politely as possible. "I need a change of clothes– and I need a shower"

She waited for the response. "No" he replied simply. "It's past seven. School starts in about half an hour. I am going to take a shower. If you think you smell that bad, then you're welcome to join me"

Sakura scowled at him but apparently he didn't notice, as he scurried to the bathroom.

School hallway

Everyone was staring at her. God, she was like a freak show. These looks were worse than the ones' from Sasuke's girls seeing the two of them step out his car. Sakura was noticeably worn-out looking. Her hair was uncombed, her uniform was wrinkled, and she needed a shower badly..

"You look like a hot mess" Ino said as soon as she spotted her friend carelessly tossing textbooks in her locker.

"It's because of Sasuke" Sakura immediately explained irritated.

"What happened!?" Ino demanded, suddenly interested. "Did he rape you or something?" Sakura shook her head. "No. According to him, he should be the one worried about me raping him."

"WHAT!"

"And then I couldn't shower unless I showered with him"

"WHAT!"

Sakura let out a sigh. "I'll the explain the details later Ino, I gotta go," she managed choke out before she rushed to take her examm

So Ino stood there alone with her mouth gaped wide open, paralyzed, in utter shock.
