Chapter Three: Leading Her On!!
Sakura awoke the next morning in a daze. She was warm, happy and safe but something was different than when she fell asleep, but what? She just couldn't put her finger on it. She lifted head her to look around but as soon as she did she saw Sasuke looking down at her.
"Morning sleepy head." He said with a smile. 'She's gonna kill me, but I might as well lead her on.'
"Did you sleep well? "He asked still smiling.
"What the... Why am I... What's going on??" She yelled extremely confused pushing herself away from him trying to figure out why the hell she was all the way over here.
"What... you don't remember?" He said with a mischievous smile on his face.
'Oh my...We didn't...Did we??' thought Sakura.
If we did I wish I could remember. Said inner Sakura smiling at the possibilities.
'Oh shut the hell up... this wasn't supposed to happen...' thought Sakura.
"W-What happened last n-night...e-exactly??" asked Sakura trying not to scream.
"Oh nothing..." said Sasuke in a playful tone.'Oh yeah, she's definitely gonna kill me.'
"Dammit tell me we didn't..." she said turning bright red, a look of utter hatred on her face.
'Didn't what... exactly?" He asked, pretending he didn't know what she was talking about.
"You know..." She said blushing.
"No I don't.. Didn't what..." he said still playing innocent.
"We didn't have... we didn't have s-sex did we??" She asked turning scarlet as soon as she said it.
"What!? I can believe that you...that you think I would take advantage of a sleeping woman...let alone one that I'm on a mission with!" He said trying to sound as though the fact that she thought that happened surprised him.
'Well that takes a load off my mind' thought Sakura.' but that still doesn't explain why I woke up in his arms.'
Who cares I would personally like to wake up like that every day for the rest of my life. said inner Sakura dreamily.
'Oh get over it.' yelled Sakura at her inner self.
"But why did I...um... wake up in your arms Sasuke." she asked blushing deep crimson.
"Its simple you were cold so I let you sleep next to me to keep you warm." he admitted 'And it was the best nights sleep I've gotten in a long time' he thought.
"Oh... well... I didn't ask you to keep me warm. I would have been just fine by myself." She complained.
"Actually in a way you did ask me to keep you warm. You came all the way over here and cuddled up next to me, and I was just to tired to argue so I just pulled you closer and put your blanket over our legs and fell asleep that way." he said with a shrug.
"Oh... well don't ever do that again, dammit!" She yelled and with that she walked off to write in her journal.
After she finished she put it back in her bag and then went off to fill their canteens in a creek a little ways back.
"I'll be back in a few minutes to make breakfast and then we'll leave." and with that said she jumped up into the trees and disappeared from view.

Sasuke who had seen her writing in the journal before was curious about it so he went over to her bag, rummaged through it and found the journal, he opened it and started to read...
My Wish!
I hope the days come easy
And the moments come slow
And each road leads you
Where you want to go
And if your faced with the choice
And you have to choose
I hope you choose the one
That means the most to you
And if one door opens to another
Door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' till you
Find the window
If its cold outside, show the
World the warmth of your smile
But more than anything,
More than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that
You want it to
Your dreams stay big, your
Worries stay small
You never need to carry more
Than you can hold
And while you're gettin'
Where your gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
I hope you never look back but
You never forget
All the ones love you
And the place you left
I hope you always forgive
And you never regret
And you help somebody every
Chance you get
Oh, you find gods grace in
Every mistake
And always give more than you take
But more than anything
Yeah more than anything
My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that
You want it to
Your dreams stay big, your
Worries stay small
You never need to carry more
Than you can hold
And while you're gettin'
Where your gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big
'Wow that was good lets see... what the next one is.'
What hurts the most!
I can take the rain
On the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then
And just let 'em out
I'm not afraid to cry every once
In a while
Even though goin' on with you
Gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again
I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
It's hard to deal with the pain
Of losin' you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' it
It's hard to force that smile
When I see our old friends and
I'm alone
Still harder gettin' up, gettin'
Dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away
All the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
Not seein' that lovin' you
That's what I was tryin' to do
'These are all love poems that have pain and lose behind them.' thought Sasuke.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING??" yelled Sakura whom had just returned to find Sasuke reading her journal full of poems and songs that she started writing after he left.
"I was only curious... sorry if I made you mad." he said apologetically.
"Give me that, you have no right to look through my things!" complained Sakura.
'He was looking in my journal at the things I wrote that were about him after he left, damn him." She thought.
So what... now in a way he knows how you truly feel, so just give up the "I hate you so much" act. said inner Sakura.
"So what was the inspiration for those?" asked Sasuke curiously.
"None of your business, just stay out of my stuff, and drop the damn subject." yelled Sakura nearly reaching the end of her temper.
"S-Sorry I was just...I-I had no right and I'm sorry." apologized Sasuke."F-Forgive me??"
"...I... I'll think about it, just promise to stay out of my things... alright??" said Sakura finally starting calming down.
After Sakura had completely calmed down, she made their breakfast. After they had finished eating they packed up their things and jumped up into the trees to go find the rouge ninja and stop them for hurting anyone else.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After about three hours of searching through the forest they had found the rouge ninja's hide-out and were planning their ambush.
"We'll transform and pretend to be lost travelers who accidentally walk past their hide-out just out of range but close enough for them to see us and also to leave us enough time to draw our weapons." said Sakura who had already planned this a day earlier.
"So what kind of travelers are we going to pretend to be??" asked Sasuke curiously.
"Well... we'll pretend ('unfortunately') to be a young married couple who got lost on their way to the Village Hidden in the Leaves. We'll need to be very convincing so don't blow our cover okay??" said Sakura in a very bossy tone.
What will you do if he ends up having to kiss you to be convincing enough for the rouge ninjas?? asked inner Sakura smiling.
'Oh... he's not going to kiss me and I'll make sure of that.' thought Sakura blushing very faintly.
"Okay, don't worry I'll be extremely convincing." said Sasuke smiling. 'I wonder what she would do if we had to kiss.' he thought viciously smiling a even bigger smile.
With their plan decided they transformed into their disguises and moved a ways off so that they could walk past the ninjas hide-out and it would look like they were heading towards the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
Walking towards the ninjas hide-out. "Dear are you sure we're going the right way??" asked Sakura in a nervous tone.
"Yes I'm sure darling... at least this is the way the man said to go to get to the Village Hidden in the Leaves. I hope he wasn't lying to us." said Sasuke trying not to smile.
"Well, well if it isn't two lost love birds who have come to the wrong neck of the woods to get lost in." said one of the ninjas who seemed to be the leader and was wearing the mark of hiding in mist.
"Shame you wont be making it to the village alive..." as soon as he said that he threw a kuni at Sakura which she easily dodged, but in the simple act of dodging it she gave away their little charade that they were just lost travelers and exposed who they really were.
"Watch it, these guys ain't what they seem, she dodged that kuni with ease. They must be ninja sent from the Village Hidden in the Leaves like the last ones, lets hope these two are more fun than the others." said the rouge ninja with a laugh.
The rouge ninja made some hand signs and twenty clones appeared all attacking at once, Sakura drew six shuriken and threw them at the clones hitting some and making them disappear then pulled the wires she had attached to them, getting the rest.
Sasuke who had averted back to his original form ran at the ninja who made the clones and made the hand signs for the "Phoenix Flower Justsu" shooting many different flame petals at the ninja.
"I don't think so..." said the rouge ninja doing some hand signs, then making a wall of water appear in front of the flames. "Ha!! That should stop that...WHAT!? Suriken in the flames...NOOO!!" The shuriken hit the rouge ninja in the head, chest and the stomach and he fell to the ground dead.
The other ninjas, who while Sasuke was fighting their leader, had tried to take Sakura down because they thought that she was the weaker one, but instead they got a very big surprise.
"Why is it that men seem to think that just because I'm a girl I'm the weaker one??" asked Sakura with a mischievous smile on her face as she punched the ground causing it to split and send rocks flying at the mist ninjas.
She had either killed or knocked out all the ninjas that were stupid enough to try to fight her, and the others who had held back to watch were now either running in fear or to shocked to move, and those ones were easily taken care of.
"Too easy, what fun is it when they don't fight at 100 percent, just because I'm a girl??" said Sakura in a disappointed tone. "Well lets just head home then, our work here is done." with that said they jumped up into the trees and started off to the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
