Author's Note:So here is chapter eleven and thanks for all of you wonderful people who reviewed in the last chapter. I think that this is one of my favorite chapters so far since I worked so hard on it! I got the idea for it after reading chapter two of Love Attack (a really good manga) and it started to make me think that Sasuke and Sakura probably should take there relationship to the next level so I was wondering if there should be a lemon in the next chapter. After reading this chapter, please review and PLEASE TELL ME!

Sakura let out a moan as she felt Sasuke's kisses start to trail where her neck and his hands start to roam up her back under her shirt. He stopped his assault on her neck to pull her shirt over her head and threw it to one corner of the room leaving Sakura's bra the only thing covering the top part of her body. He kissed her on the lips and she felt his hands move to the clap on her bra.

"W-Wait," Sakura gasped, breaking away from the intoxicating kiss.

All of this was going way too fast for her, but the last thing Sasuke did was slow down. Instead, she was pushed onto her back on the bed, him straddling her. He leaned down to kiss her again, and she began to push against his against his shoulders, trying to make him stop. To stop her, he grabbed her hands, trapping them above her head and continued on. He was now trailing kisses all over her stomach.

Trying to regain control over her emotions and her body, she moaned out, "No…St-Stop."

He still didn't. His kisses started moving lower and lower….

Sakura's eyes suddenly snapped wide open, bringing her into reality and out of her sleep. She sat up in her bed, panting and her body trembling, all effects from the dream that she had just been having. She hugged her knees to her chest, trying to make it all stop.

'A dream,' she thought, trying to calm herself down. 'All of it…It was all a dream.'

She didn't know whether to feel happy or disappointed about that.

Lately, ever since Sasuke had admitted that he loved her at the party last week, she had been having more and more dreams like the one she had just had. It had caused her to start to wonder when they were going to take the next step in their relationship. Those thoughts increased whenever she was around Sasuke now and it was causing her to act like a complete idiot in front of him. Even a simple touch now, like brushing against him was enough to send her blushing and stuttering.

Sakura fell back against her pillow, sighing. 'I really need to get a grip,' she told herself. 'We have that big mission today so I really need to stop acting so stupid…Speaking of the mission…what time is it?' she wondered, looking over at her clock. 'I'm supposed to meet him at nine.'

The clock read 8:47 A.M.

Letting out a tiny scream, Sakura sat back up, her panic level rising. She was going to be seriously late if she didn't hurry. She started to get out off bed and ended up getting her legs tangled in her sheets, causing her to fall into heap on her floor.

-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-

She was late. After only taking a two minute shower, throwing on her clothes, and grabbing her backpack that she had thankfully packed last night, she was still going to be late. She ran as fast as she could towards Konoha's Gates where she knew Sasuke was waiting for her, and hopefully not pissed off. She spotted him when she was about fifty yards away and started right for him.

"I'm so sorry," were the first words out of her mouth when she reached him. She put her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breathe from all of the rushing she had had to do. "My alarm clock didn't go off this morning since I forgot to set it last night. I'm so sorry!"

She looked up at Sasuke expecting to see him giving her a cold look, mad at her with taking up precious time that they were supposed to be spending on the mission, but he wasn't even looking at her face. Instead, his gaze was focused more south on her body.

"What is it?" she inquired, looking down too.

What she saw caused her mouth to drop open and her whole face to turn bright red. Her zipper on her shirt was half open revealing some of some of her pink bra that she had on underneath it. Letting out a small squeal, she whipped around, her hands covering her chest.

'I must have not zipped it up all the way since I was in such a hurry,' she figured, zipping it up quickly. 'I can't believe this. I ran through half of Konoha like that. How many people saw me? So embarrassing!'

She peeked over her shoulder at Sasuke to see that he was watching her closely, and it caused her whole face to turn red with embarrassment again. His eyes met hers suddenly and the scenes from the dream that she had had that morning started to replay in her head.

"What?" he questioned, noting how she was gawking at him.

"It's nothing," she lied, looking down at her feet. "Come on. We've wasted too much time because of me. We better get going." She brushed past him then without another word.

-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-

The mission was to find a man by the name off Fuji Watara, and after they found him, their plan was to follow him. Fuji was one of the many members who were apart of a group that was making plans to attack Konoha in the near future. Sakura and Sasuke had decided to follow him back to where the group's hideout was so they could take care of all the members there. It was the first mission that Sasuke had that was b ranked since he had come back. Sakura knew that it was still way too easy for him but that he was still excited about getting a challenge, even if he didn't show it.

"This is what the man looks like," Sakura told Sasuke, pulling out the picture of a man who looked to be in his mid forties and was balding. Shizune had given it to her yesterday when they were first told about the mission. Sasuke took it from her, studying it. "It's said that he comes to this bar around three every day." Sakura continued, looking up at the bar that they were standing in front of. "It's almost three now all we have to do is wait for him to show up."

They watched the bar on the roof from the building across from it. Fuji came right on time, just as hoped. What they weren't counting on was how long he would stay.

"It's almost been three hours already," Sakura groaned, sitting down. "He can really drink, can't he?"

"Hn."

After another half hour Fuji finally came out to her relief.

"Come on, let's go," Sasuke told her.

They followed him, a short distance behind, trying not to alert the man's attention and soon they were out of the town, heading south through the forest where they moved up to the trees to spy on him. They watched as Fuji came veered off the path until he came to a small hut, and knocked sever times on it's door before someone opened it, letting him in.

"This is it," Sakura cheered quietly, happy at how smoothly the mission was going. "Now we have to come up with a plan on how to get in there with out any problems. Got any ideas?"

She looked over at Sasuke, expecting him to say something, but he didn't. Instead he was looking ahead at the hut, concentrating hard on something.

"What is it?" she whispered.

Suddenly Sasuke grabbed her around her waist, and jumped to the forest's floor with her before hiding behind some trees.

"Wh-What are you-"

She was cut off my Sasuke's hand clapping down over her mouth and his grip on her waist tightened, pushing her against his chest. Her face instantly turned red and she started struggling against him, trying to get free.

"Be still," Sasuke whispered harshly in her ear and she stopped thrashing about, doing as she was told.

She glanced up at his face and could see that it seemed like he was listening for something, but she didn't know what. She tried to listen hard too, but all she could hear was the sound of her heart beating hard against her chest because of the position she was in. They were so close that she could feel his body heat against her back and the smell of him was all over.

'Stop it!' she yelled at herself in her mind. 'You're in the middle of a mission! It's no time to think these kinds of thoughts! What's wrong with you?'

"They're onto us," Sasuke told her, pulling her out of her thought. He let her go suddenly to pull out his katana. Even before his katana was fully unsheathed, they were surrounded by men. Among them was Fuji.

"What? All they did was send a bunch of kids?" one of the guys joked, causing all of the other men to laugh.

Sakura felt her anger flare a bit at the comment but she didn't shout at him. She had to keep a level head. 'There are fifteen men,' Sakura counted. 'It's more that we expected but we can still win this.'

"Let's show Konoha that we're not someone that they can take lightly," another man yelled to his friends.

With that, six men rushed at Sakura while the rest ran towards Sasuke. Holding her ground, she managed to take out four and started towards the others. One of the two men left caught her from behind, holding her arms behind her back. She slammed her foot on his own, catching him off guard and making him howl in pain. She took her chance, breaking free then turned around punching him hard and he flew back, hitting a tree.

She turned towards the last man who she found out to be Fuji. He was approaching slowly her. She drew her arm back, getting ready to give him the hardest punch yet, but to her surprise, the man caught her wrist, stopping her. Sakura recovered quickly though, taking out a kunai and slashing at him. She managed to create a big cut stretching from his shoulder to the middle of his chest.

"Little bitch!" the man yelled, slapping her hard across the face causing her to lose her balance.

She landed hard against the ground, her head colliding with a rock in the process. Everything started to go blurry suddenly and Sakura knew that she was losing consciousness. She could see that the man who had slapped her was coming closer to her, the kunai she had used on him only seconds earlier, in his hand, but she couldn't even stand to defend herself. The last thing she heard before darkness washed over her was the sound of Sasuke shouting her name.

-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-

Sakura opened her eyes and blinked a couple times, trying to focus on where she was. She felt something soft underneath her and when she looked she saw it was a blanket. There was also another one covering her. Slowly, she sat up in her bed and groaned a bit since it felt like her head was splitting in two.

'What the hell happened?' she wondered, fingering a really big bump on the back of her head. Everything came back to her then. The mission, the fight, and her being knocked out. She looked around at her surroundings to see that she was all alone in a cave. In the center, a small fire was going, warming the whole cave.

"You're up?" came a smooth voice from the opening of the cave. She recognized it as Sasuke's and looked to see him standing there, carrying a couple pieces of wood. He came in, setting the wood next to the fire before sitting down himself. There was a moment of silence as Sasuke picked up one of the pieces of wood and fed it to the fire. "It looks like it's going to rain so we'll head back home tomorrow."

Sakura nodded. "What happened to all of the men?" she asked.

"They're dead," he told her simply before putting another piece into the fire.

She looked down at her lap, clenching the blanket in her hands. "I'm sorry," she apologized, feeling bad. "I got in the way. I'm sorry."

There was another moment of silence until Sasuke broke it. "Go back to sleep." He didn't even turn around to look at her.

Sakura felt like crying. 'Is he mad at me?' she thought. 'He does has every right to be…'

She watched as Sasuke reached for another log and in the firelight she saw him wince slightly.

"What's wrong," she asked him, pushing the blanket off of herself and crawling up to his side. "Are you hurt?"

"It's nothing," he brushed off. "Go back and rest." He turned his face away as if dismissing her, but Sakura still didn't leave his side. She saw that his shirt was bloody and had slashes in it. She could see that he had tried to bandage some of the wounds that had received.

"These are from the fight, aren't they?"

Sasuke didn't answer her question, but he didn't have to. She knew the answer. 'He got the wounds because of me. He tried to protect me and this is what happened. It's my entire fault.' Out loud, she whispered, "Let me see them. I'll heal them."

"I'm fine," he told her coldly.

She still didn't budge from her spot though. "Please let me heal them," she pleaded.

Sasuke looked at her for a second before sighing. "Fine."

He waited for her to start.

"You um...You have to remove your shirt for me to heal you," she told him looking down at her lap, trying to hide the blush that was beginning to stain her cheeks. 'Get a hold of yourself! She told herself angrily. 'What's your problem? You're acting dumb. You're a medic-nin so this should be just like a standard procedure. Stop freaking out!'

She looked up to see Sasuke had removed his shirt and was waiting for her. She reached out and touched his abdomen softly, her hands beginning to grow green with the healing chakra that she was summoning. She moved her hand over each wound, trying only to focus on healing and not where she was touching her boyfriend. It was really hard since Sasuke was watching her closely, making her even more nervous.

"There! All Better!" She smiled at her handiwork and was about to stand up only to be stopped by Sasuke grabbing her wrist. She looked at him questioningly, but couldn't see his eyes since his bangs were hiding them.

"Sakura," she heard him barely whisper out.

It was silent in the cave for a while and the only sound that could be heard was the sounds of the fire crackling and the sound of the thunder from outside.

Out of the blue, his lips came crashing onto hers for a kiss, but it wasn't the type of kisses that she was used to from him. This one was rough and hungry. He pushed her down onto the floor of the cave, him looming over her. He bent towards her for yet another kiss while one of his hands began to run up and down her side, causing her to let out a soft moan. 6

'It's…It's just like the dreams' Sakura thought in the back of her mind, trying to organize all of her thoughts. 'What should I do?'

So there's a bit of a cliffie for you. I have to say it again, this is one of my favorite chapters!

So what do you think should happen? Please review and tell me!
