Hey guys. There's another story I wrote you can check it out. It's kind of a long title, and it's for KakaSaku fans, whose who don't mind the pair. It will be serious, and the romance will be very deep, sort of. If you like X Men you can go ahead and read my Oneshot too. About Rogue and Gambit.

Okay this time guys, I really want you to listen to Kelly Sweet, We Are One. It simply fits this chapter.. I bet you'll be addicted to the song in no time.

Tenten whirled into the air and landed in Neji's arms as he caught her running.

Orochimaru spun around with a scowl evident on his face as he realised they were making a run for it. "Get THEM!!" he hissed, and they all promptly disappeared into the shadows, speed as fast as lightning.

Fortunately they didn't notice that as they passed by a couple of bushes, there were two pairs of eyes burning their back until they eventually disappeared in the night.

Tenten shuddered involuntarily, her windswept hair(it was let down yes) falling on her face as she remembered the bastard's touch, his grin... somehow she felt like he was going to rape her or something.

Maybe he really wanted to.

Again she shivered, and the Byakugan descendant noticed, turning his attention to her. He raised his hand to her face and stroked her cheek.

Silence. The two just stared at each other.

She looked in his eyes and saw something that she thought she'd never see in his eyes.

It looked a lot like he was apologising...

"Neji... I-"

Then suddenly he moved forward, and his lips met hers in a kiss. His lips grazed hers, and then kissed her even more gently, as if not to frighten her. Tenten closed her eyes and felt adrenaline coursing to her, and then a surge of elation. His hand never left her cheek, and he tilted her face ever so slightly and kissed her even more. Before she knew it, her hands were on his chest, her fingers clutching to the collar of his shirt, shuddering, as if she was at his mercy.

Maybe she was.

"Tenten..." she heard him whisper, and went to kissing her jawline. She moaned softly as he proceeded to kissing her neck. Oh how she loved the way he whispered her name... the way he kissed her as if she was the most fragile thing in the world... the way his hand stroked her cheek gently and his other hand coursing gently through her hair, making her feel pleasures that she had never experienced before.

Then suddenly they heard a cough behind them. Immediately they scrambled away from each other and turned to look at the person who discovered them.



Damn. It was Naruto!

Ino pulled back, blushing.

She was blushing for real.

What? I thought I was so used to kissing! Why am I blushing?

Dude I have no idea. That's your problem. Now can you stop thinking about it and focus here? He's thinking what he did wrong to keep you silent...(snickers) I bet he's thinking if he sucks at kissing.

...

The blonde looked up at him from the table, her cheeks still tinged red. Why is she like this? Thoughts ran through her mind as she kept quiet for a few moments.

"...I'm sorry for jumping on you like that. I think I'll leave now," Ino said quietly as she got up from the table.

At which he grabbed her hand, his eyes on hers. "Don't."

"Stay with me."

Silence. Ino sat down again, her brain muddled. She was confused about her emotions, why she wasn't herself, why he did all these things to her.

Why is it that when she looked into his eyes, his incomprehensible eyes, she would feel like she's the only one who could have the chance to understand them? Why is it that when he held her hand, her heartbeart raced rapidly and she felt that if she let go, she would feel like a part of her was taken away?

And now, why is it that she agreed to stay with him instead of going home because of curfew, instead of sorting out her emotions in the process?

She didn't know.

But there was one thing she was sure of.

She could never, ever fall in love with him, or anyone else. Even if she wanted to.

"Sakura... Sakura... Sakura..."

Where am I?

"I... am so..."

...Is that...him?

"Sorry..."

She woke up with blurred vision. Gradually she regained it and began to notice the surroundings. With heavy-lidded eyes, she saw someone lying his head on her stomach.

"Sasuke?"

Instead what came out was a moan, an unfathomable sound.

Said man raised his head from lying on her stomach and looked at her with so much intensity that it almost hurt.

"Sakura.." her name rolled off his tongue ever so slowly, as if he had never heard her name in years. (actually he had been repeating her name before this HAHA)

Then he stood up and hugged her, his hands caressing the sides of her waist as he kissed her hair, smelling of strawberries.

Sakura returned the embrace slowly, still feeling weak after using up most of her chakra. "Sasuke...kun..." she whispered into his ear.

It was too late to turn back now, she realised. Is she angry? She should've been, right?

"Karin..." she whispered slowly in his ear as he was still embracing her, pooling her with comforting warmth. "She..she's..."

Silence. He pulled away from her, and she got up, feeling slightly dizzy, definitely not from the lack of chakra.

"Sasuke..."

He couldn't look at her. What was he to say?

So he didn't answer.

...So...It's true?

Tears welled up in her eyes and she turned away. No, she would NOT let him see her in her weak state, not now.

This was all a big mistake. She should never have accepted such a stupid idea. A stupid plan. And now she had fallen for him.

The best part is, she didn't feel any remorse whatsoever. And that was what made her even angrier with herself.

Sakura stood up, shot him one last look, and ran out of the house. His house.

Sasuke had seen the hurt in her eyes. She had been hurt deep. Her emerald eyes brimming endlessly with tears, the flicker of hope nonexistent, the look of accusation and betrayal visible.

-Flashback-

He remembered the day he stepped into her house. Her family seemed perfect with the exception of the absence of her mother, who died six years ago due to cancer.

"Hi! I'm Karin," he remembered the same girl two years ago, not yet bespectacled, her eyes shining with innocence and youth, her smile so bright and her face radiant.

He remembered her father, the sole purpose of his family's visit, to discuss the future of their business. He was quite young-looking for his age, although his hair was visibly thinning. He had a tendency to run his fingers through his hair when he was feeling pressured, his eyes gray and always unhappy-looking, as if he was never satisfied.

That was the day he became close to Karin. The girl was awfully lonely, she didn't have friends at school, people considered her a loser. He was a pillar of support for her.

Until he got popular when people found out who she was. The daughter of Kaori-san. Rich and famous, the manager of Konoha Travel Agency. And so she changed.

Along the way, they drifted apart, him slightly disgusted at the way she carried herself, how she actually ignored him as he walked past her.

And he was glad he wasn't well- known at that time for his family's business as well, Uchiha Airlines. He was just a quiet, emo kid, people never bothered to think about him except for his good looks.

Of course his cold personality scared the girls. And so he was hardly talked about ever again.

He remembered the day Karin went to talk to him all of a sudden, asking him to accept her apology by going out with her and her new friends.

He agreed.

That night he went out and had so much fun.

The next morning he found himself in bed with a very much naked Karin, him being naked as well.

T'was the day everything changed the way it did.

How'd you like that? Noticed any foreshadowing? (clues to what might happen next)

Anyway I'll update tmrw!

REVIEW and hyperventilate. Because I soooo wanna hear about Tenten and Neji HAHAH...!!
