Sakura told Sasori she would be back soon and with that he acknowledged this. She opened her window and climbed out into the cool night's breeze. Her skin met with the breeze, goose bumps running up and down. Sakura looked about and took off, running on top of the roofs. The moon was a beautiful milk crescent, shinning all of its silvery body across the earth's surface.

Sakura's first stop was at the blonde's house. She hadn't seen him in a while but she knew if she went in that he'd wake up just by her scent alone. She stopped at his balcony and took out a tube of lipstick and wrote on the glass, love you brother. With that she made a kiss mark with the lip stick and left a bowl of instant ramen with the lip stick. She chuckled a little but found a tear strolling down her face. Sakura thought of her sensei, Kakashi, but knew he was still out on a mission, she didn't want to go to Ino for many reasons you could think of and she really didn't want to see anyone else except her other team mate. She smiled at the thought of him and went off in the direction of his apartment.

As she went, she felt a rain drop, drop onto her nose and then it began to rain. Tears began to slip unnoticeably as thunder and lightning came around. Why are you crying for me, Konoha? Sakura came to a stop outside her team mate's apartment door. Her frown melted away to a smile, he was all she really wanted to remember and all she was willing to remember. A few moments passed and soon she was inside his apartment, Sakura began to tip toe to his room. Thunder crashed and lightning flashed as she watched his sleeping figure in bed. As lightning began to flash she saw his bare back and his toned muscles she longed to see once more. Sakura walked into his room and crept to the side of his bed. The boy rolled over, his back to her, as she sat down on the edge of the bed.

Her hand reached out and touched his side which she smoothed her fingers over. His warmth embraced her finger tips, beginning to soak in. At the moment, this was all she wanted to remember in Konoha and the only person she wanted to remember. She was given an assignment to join Konoha and yet there she was joining them. Ironic, is it not? She stifled a sad laugh as she bent down and met her lips with his when he rolled onto his back. A second passed and she got up off the bed, her lips leaving his cold and her fingers about to do the same to his skin. Sakura turned, somewhat hesitant, but she knew she needed to go. As Sakura took another step, she felt a tug at her fingers. She looked back to find that he was awake. She was pulled back gently to the bed.

He yanked her onto the bed and looked her in the eyes," What do you need ugly?" When he said this, she could smell a hint of alcohol on his breath. "Have you been drinking?" He chuckled dryly, thinking this was an illusion. "Great, I still have illusions of Ugly even when I'm wake." Sakura looked at him questioningly. "You're the reason I've started drinking, you know, oh great illusion of Sakura. " Sakura spoke out," Why?" He chuckled a little darkly," Every time you're on a long-assed-mission, I drink. You drank a lot, I caught the habit. You were gone and sometimes I felt that you'd never come back."

Sakura felt her heart tare a little," You drink because of me?" He rubbed his eyes," I never told Ugly how I-how she was making me, a crippled emotionless person, feel. But what am I saying this for, I'm talking to an illusion that I'm starting to feel. I'm crazy." Sakura put her hand under his chin," If I'm not real, then why can you feel…this?" She leaned in and kissed his soft lips that he began to lean into. 

She stopped and looked him in the eyes. His eyes were shocked as his hands came up to her face. "You're here…with me?" She felt a tear drop from her eye," Yea I'm here…" She didn't dare say good bye, not yet.

"Do you really mean what you said?" she almost whimpered in the sentence. Sai only hugged her and laid back down on the bed, putting her on top. "I do," he whispered in her ear. She smiled numbly," I love you." Sai looked her in the eyes, "I love you too." Sakura pressed her lips against his once again and found herself underneath Sai. "Do you truly love me?" Sakura nodded," I want to remember this night, forever." Sai leaned down and whispered in her ear," I'll make that happen."

Sakura knew what she was doing and she wanted it, as much as Sai did, but she hadn't known what she was doing in the long run. What she was doing to the men back at the Akatsuki, or did she? His hands traveled down to her zipper on her vest like shirt and pulled it down and took it off. The vest was flung off to the side and then his hands came to her skirt which he pulled off all the way along with her shorts. The skirt and shorts were flung off into the distance and soon Sakura's hands traveled to his boxers which she pulled off. Sai straddled her hips and soon their fingers intertwined together as he held them up above her head, pinning them to the bed. Sakura and Sai felt the heat that was rising between them, their hearts skipped and beat as one and their feelings were aligned.

"Are you sure you want this," he whispered into her ear. She licked his cheek," More than anything, I want this." Sai lowered himself," I love you." Sakura smiled as silent tears began to evade her eyes," I love you too." Sasori sat on Sakura's bed, his arms resting under his head and his legs were crossed. He sighed as he kept his stare on the ceiling. Thunder crashed and soon Sasori's attention was to the weather outside. He got up off the bed and went to the window, watching as the rain kept pouring its tears unto the land. He sighed once more, this time wondering what was taking Sakura so long with her good byes to the two people. He only turned around and plopped back down on the bed.

His hand entered his cloak only to come back with the black diary at hand. He looked at it, was it so important to hide? He hadn't a clue but it must have been if she hid it, right? Sasori looked at the first page and began.

Today is our survival exam for team seven. Our new sensei, Kakashi, said that this will determine whether we stay on as genin or go back to the academy to start all over again or to stay there permanently. Only nine are to pass, what a bummer. I'd prefer not to go back to the academy. But on the upper hand…I get to be team mates with Sasuke Uchiha! Oh my gosh, he's so hot and his eyes are so mysterious. I can't wait until the day I can finally tell him my feelings for hi, I love everything about him. But on the down side of it all…I've got Naruto Uzumaki as my other team mate. He's so annoying and he knows my feelings and purposely tries to get in the way of them. I don't know…maybe as time passes…I might get to like him, right? But, I'm so happy I get to be with Uchiha Sasuke, my crush. Love conquers all!! Cha!

Sasori closed the diary and chuckled. She was quite the annoying one when she was younger, wasn't she? It didn't matter, Sasori still found it cute. As he was about to read the next entry, he 

stopped and put it away. What was he doing, reading her diary? This wasn't right, was it? He put the diary back into his cloak and found his eyes closing. What was he getting into?

Sai came to a stop and collapsed from all the events, both huffing for air. Sai still lay on top of her, his arms snaking around her. Sakura rested her arms on his bare back and kissed his neck. "I love you," he mumbled as he went off into sleep. Sakura smiled at his last words to her and soon sleep took over.

Dawn came when Sasori awoke to a gentle nudge," Sasori?" slowly he opened his eyes and saw Sakura. "Come on Sasori, we need to get out of here, and fast." Sasori stretched his arms and followed after her. They made it out to the forest when the sun hit the village. Sasori looked at Sakura when they were running into the forest and couldn't help but think about why they stayed so long, but more importantly, why she was wearing something different. It wasn't her vest like shirt or her skirt but a black midriff with black pants that cut off to the ankle and she wore black shoes.

This wasn't something he pictured Sakura to wear, but it didn't mean he didn't like it. It actually looked great on her, but something kept nagging him. Something was different about Sakura and he didn't know what. "Sakura, what happened? Why were we hear longer then you said?" Sakura looked at him out of the corner of her eyes and frowned. " Less talking and more running. I don't think you want to get caught, do you?" Sasori found himself absentmindedly shaking his head no and then stopped in realization of what he was doing, his brow rose in question.

As they went off into the depths of the forest, a tear fell from her eye and she felt that her visit would be her last. As Sasori ran, a droplet fell on his cheek. He wiped it away wondering where it came from. The sun broke through the curtains of the dark room, awakening Sai from his slumber. His face was buried into the mattress of the bed, the bed sheets flung off the bed and on the floor. Sai rolled over and found that his shorts were gone. His eyes closed," So, it wasn't a dream." Sai opened his eyes and found his bed empty and he was alone. Sai smelt her lingering scent in his sheets, it wasn't a dream and if it had been, he didn't want to wake from it.

It was all he wanted and needed but no more it was. He was just alone and that's how he felt. Slowly he got out of bed and walked to the bathroom and about tripped over a pile of clothes only to realize that they were Sakura's. He knelt down and picked up her vest like shirt, he brought them to his nose and breathed it in. He found himself sitting up against the wall, smelling her shirt she left behind. He felt a tear slip and more came. She was gone, but all he knew was she wasn't there but was she really gone? "Sakura," he called out. There was no answer from her but an answer to his question, she was gone. Sai looked over and found a scroll on his counter in his bathroom. He slowly got up, still smelling her shirt and opened the scroll and began to read it.

Last night wasn't a dream Sai, it was real and so are my feelings. I've always wanted to tell you how I felt but never thought you'd feel the same. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you to wake to, I'm sorry I'm not there. But last night was my last night. I don't think I'll be able to return to Konoha again, things have come up. And if you love me, Don't go looking for me. I love you more than anything Sai and I mean it.

Love Sakura!

PS: Stop drinking!

Sai dropped the scroll and fell to his knees, his hands holding his face with her shirt. She's gone, she was gone and there was nothing he could've done. It was a one night stand that opened up some feelings to broken hearts. Her feelings weren't one night, but her physical body was one night. He cried into the shirt, why, he couldn't tell you. These were new feelings and uncharted territory for him. As he came to a stop in his sob he began to think, this wasn't like her. Sakura never did something like this, never. This wasn't her.

Something was going on and Sai wanted to find out. Why did Sakura leave? And why, was it her last?

ha! I bet you didn't see that coming! lol I hope that was a good (longer?) chapter. I hope that some of you didn't mind the SaiSaku that was going on. I hope you liked the twist and that's only the tip of it...what do you think is going to happen with the black diary?! Hmmm...more to come, plz keep on R/R'n and thnx 4 everything once again
