Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto, if I did..heh you would know it!

Chapter seven: Secrets broke free. ( No the title doesn't make sense!)

Sasuke wondered why fate hated him he really did, and he also wondered why life seemed to hate him as well. Hell everything hated him and he hated it back at this moment. Everything except this delightful warmth and familiar scent he was latched onto in his sleep. He never wanted to wake up for sure, and yet the headache splitting open his head was not allowing him to sleep peacefully any longer, he would have to do something about it before he went back to sleep enjoying this peace and comfort for just a little longer. It wasn't everyday he could get this feeling, hell he never had this feeling waking up before. It was nice, safe, warm, and smelled like cherry blossoms.

He didn't think much of it, just enjoyed it, but as he slowly started to wake he realized strange things were going on. One being that he was in someones lap of all things, at least his head was, he was in someone else's bed, in someone else's house, and last but not least in strangeness, he was naked. Holy crap how much Sake did he have?

Think Uchiha. Think...He thought to himself.

Now that he thought further he had went to sleep naked, and started drinking naked, he was in Sakura's bed, and he was no doubt on Sakura's lap. Which explained everything because then he remembered coming here taking a bath, with Sakura's help, and then drinking and sleeping. Of course the strangeness of the situation didn't even slightly fade. He had never woke naked with anyone before, and he certainly didn't sleep naked nor with his female teammate. Hell he hadn't even allowed himself to touch her over the years, and here he was cuddling to her like some little child. Kami he was no better then Naruto. She was no doubt thinking she had to put up with two idiots now.

He was about to move away from her lap when he felt her hand in his hair brushing against his skull and sending chakra in to ease his pain, he made a sound low in his throat and relaxed again. She continued to run her fingers through his short hair long after she had eased the pain of his headache/hangover with her chakra. Well he had wanted to be closer to her, and after all he wanted her not to be upset anymore. He guessed she wasn't if she was allowing him to take up her time and energy.

He relaxed further and decided laying here a little longer in her warmth wasn't so bad with her talented fingers weaving through his hair in soothing ministrations. He probably would never get to do such again. He wouldn't ask that of Sakura, and if he ever did it after this moment of time he would be embarrassed but right now he simply felt warm.

He then tensed as she tensed and he felt why. He cursed but her hand kept him in place she made a soothing sound and he froze. He was covered, he realized, but still he clamped down on his chakra and tensed.

" Sakura-chan!" The dobe yelled. If she hadn't eased his headache Sasuke would have killed him. The bedroom door bust open and the dobe ran in. There was a silence. Obviously Naruto taking in that she wasn't alone. Sasuke had to wonder how this looked to anyone walking in.

A man under her covers face on her lap and who knew how sexy she could look at the moment. Naruto no doubt could wonder if he walked in on Sakura having sex. She obviously didn't look like she was very displeased at seeing him because Naruto continued talking and plopped down on her only chair in the room reclining.

" Well good morning Sakura-chan! Nice weather were having...who the hell is that? Do you have any ramen?" Sasuke snorted keeping his laugh contained mostly. He was amused at the bite in his words, and the jealousy he heard, but also the way Naruto had so subtlety snuck that into random conversation. Sakura obviously was amused as well because she laughed.

" Is it nice out today?" She asked looking to the storm outside. He could hear the thunder.

"Good afternoon Naruto, yes I have ramen." She answered all his questions but one. She was giving Sasuke his own choice to reveal himself or not. He was thankful, but if he didn't come out of 'hiding' the idiot may get angry and pull the blanket off and that could get strange since he was naked.

Sasuke shifted and then with a annoyed look popped his upper body out of the black blanket, the blanket covering his body waist down, as he laid his hand on his blanket covered lap. Naruto relaxed as soon as he saw Sasuke.

Sasuke was almost amused at that. If the idiot loved her, he so obvious did, why did he relax when he saw it was him? Wouldn't he be even more angry to see him then? But who knew how Naruto thought. Sakura looked faintly amused.

" Well good after noon Sasuke. Isn't it nice weather?" Sakura looked as amused as his brother did when something particularly awkward happened to someone else. She looked like that despite she was included in the situation so obvious she wasn't bothered at all to be found by someone in bed with him.

He grunted at her and tried not to blush at her smile. He was now uncomfortable sitting in her bed naked. Funny how he hadn't even thought about things like that last night.

" Just teme, you could have just said something teme! I was freaking out!" Naruto waved his arms. Sasuke scowled at him.

" What are you doing here dobe?" He asked rubbing a hand over his hair. It was mussed from sleep and so obviously Sakura's hands in it. He liked her hands in his hair though so he wasn't about to complain. Naruto all of a sudden blushed and looked uncomfortable. Sasuke narrowed his eyes. Sakura clucked her tongue.

She got out of bed, obviously she had only been in bed because he had been wrapped around her waist and on her lap and she hadn't the heart to move him. She wore shorts like always but was that Kakashi's old shirt? Probably. Her hair was messy from sleep but lose and sexy, at least he thought so. She walked over to Naruto and to Sasuke's astonishment leaned down and captured his mouth with hers. Naruto didn't look shocked he responded to the kiss with vigor. When she pulled back she patted his head.

" Don't be too jealous Naruto." She said softly and turned to Sasuke.

" Naruto is my lover. Sorry to keep that secret." Sakura said calmly as if she hadn't just told him something as shocking as that. No wonder Naruto didn't seem to mind that she had been stripping in his house. They were lovers! And no wonder Naruto had hesitated when he asked if they were dating, because they really weren't they were just knocking socks! Holy crap why did he miss all this? Hell why did she have so many lovers he didn't know about?

Shit...did Naruto know about Neji? Should he ask? Should he tell for that matter? He blinked several times.

" Sorry teme." Naruto said blushing and looking away from him. Sasuke frowned. He looked at Sakura who was looking at Naruto with a soft sort of expression he had never seen from her. His eyes widened. She carefully hid the expression obviously not meaning to do it and turned her eyes to Sasuke. With his eyes he asked if Naruto knew about Neji. And with her eyes she clearly told him to shut the hell up. Which he took for a no, Naruto didn't know.

With her eyes she so clearly said they would talk about it later, and they sure as heck would. Sasuke was Naruto's best friend whether or not he liked to admit to it, and Sakura was both their friends, and obviously Naruto's lover. Naruto deserved to know these things and obviously not be cheated on.

Though they weren't dating, just lovers, but Naruto wouldn't like Sakura seeing anyone else while they were lovers right? Did they Hyuuga even know for that matter? Why did she have two lovers? Did she have more? Holy crap did she have some addiction to sex or something? No one could take that much action! Except his cousin, but he doubted Shisui counted, the man was a freak of nature. Well then he and Sakura should get together and form a team.

Sasuke was in shock he knew, obviously, but still. Holy hell! What was she thinking? Did she want to start a reverse Harem or something?

Days later:

Sasuke frowned. Why was he doing this again? Sasuke Uchiha was holding onto a surgical metal tray filled with shots. He hated needles, and now he was holding a tray of them for the pink haired beauty who was currently bent over a Shinobi giving him one of said shots.

It was flu season apparently and he was helping Sakura out. Why was he helping Sakura out? Because she was letting him stay at her house because he was to furious with his parents for trying to force him to marry some thing, and so he had agreed to help her out. Of course he was also here because he wanted to talk to her about Naruto and the Hyuuga.

The week he's stayed at her house no one but Naruto has ever come over, and Naruto never went up to her bedroom though he apparently was her lover. The idiot had enough sense at least not to have sex with their teammate when he was in the same house at least. Sasuke paled. He couldn't even think of Sakura with Naruto it freaked him out. Besides it made him slightly see red. He would never be jealous of the dobe, not for having Sakura right? But wasn't Sakura...

Sakura smiled at the perverted Shinobi who leered at her breast as she vigorously slammed the needle into his arm he yelped and paled. She smiled an evil sort of smile and he went ghost white. Sasuke glared at the male with Sharingan eyes and he laughed nervously until Sakura said he could leave and he ran out of the room like a bat out of hell.

There were a lot of men who kept looking at her like that. Sasuke grit his teeth. How annoying. He looked over at the medic with the cherry blossom hair and frowned. She was attractive with that fall of flowery hair and those emerald green eyes. Her pale skin and that rose colored mouth. He frowned as he watched her lips move. They looked inviting, and he jerked as he realized he knew how they felt. He had kissed her a week or so ago. He felt embarrassed thinking about it.

She hadn't said anything, and he had forgotten about it. It really had been the only thing he could think to distract her enough to let him be. Yet he forgot about the consequences. Yet she didn't seem to care at all that he kissed her or slept naked with him. She had also washed his body. He blushed, and couldn't fight it down. Why was all this embarrassment swamping him now?

He glared at the tray of shots. Half empty. She had two lovers though, maybe more, why would she be embarrassed when she no doubt had to deal with her lovers all the time. She was a medic as well and saw men all the time naked. She hadn't been affected at all. And she had men wanting her as well, all her male patents lust filled eyes watching her. Like that one now checking out her chest with a silly looking grin on his face and Sharingan eyes- Wait...

" Shisui what the hell?" He asked loud enough to surprise Sakura and Shisui. Apparently Sakura was about to stick Shisui with the needle and in her surprise and his she jumped and stabbed it in. He yelped. She gasped.

" Oh hey Sasu-chan-,oww a little easier maybe Sakura?" He asked. She blushed faintly, Sasuke and Shisui looked surprised at the blush. Shisui started to grin, Sasuke frowned. Why did she blush? She almost never blushed.

" Sorry about that Shi-chan." Sakura said with a smile and a nervous chuckle as she checked his wounded arm. He flinched when her fingers brushed over it, but other wise watched her. Sasuke watched as well. He frowned. He could see it. He really could... He glared.

He had been thinking previously that they would be perfect for each other but he didn't have to like that thought, more so now that he actually saw them together. He had never thought it would happen anyway but here he was faced with it, and he disliked it more then he thought he would.

Did Sakura care even a little bit about him anymore? Did that confession all those years ago mean nothing to her? He was confused. Wait...

" Shi...-chan?" Sasuke asked eye twitching. Sakura blushed hard. She looked shocked her mouth fell open in said shock. Obviously she hadn't meant to say it out loud.

Shisui looked almost uncharacteristically amused. Almost Itachi like.

" Well I...Mean...Hehheh..." Sakura rubbed the back of her neck and looked uncomfortable. It was good to see her act warmer, or at least like a normal girl, but he didn't like the situation. She didn't call him Sasuke-kun anymore but she called his cousin Shi-chan? What the hell? Nickname and all! Such familiarity! He stared at his cousin with Sharingan eyes and never, more then now, wanted to hit his cousin. How dare he! How dare she! She was his and he wouldn't allow it!

He frowned. She wasn't his...but...shouldn't she be? Considering she had confessed her love to him? Why didn't she belong to him then? Thus she did belong to him, thus he had a right to feel this way...yes. He would keep telling himself that.

XxxXxxXxxXxxXxxX

Sakura was tossed on the Ash scented bed with enough momentum to send her rolling and finally stopping in a heap tangled in black bedspread. She looked a little surprised. She blinked large green eyes up into Sharingan ones. Her eyes narrowed.

" This is getting to be a habit Captain." She said and sat up. Itachi Uchiha stood blocking her exit out of his room as she sat up in his bed. He liked her in his bed he had to say, but not out-loud would he admit it.

" Though I don't mind you tossing me into bed, I would at least like dinner before hand. You know the concept of wining and dinning? I mean seriously Captain." Sakura said pulling her hair out of it's almost too loose band. Her hair had been too dis-shelved with the toss, she had to redo it. While she was combing her fingers through her hair he spoke.

" I understand it just fine. Perhaps you didn't understand then when I told you to stop pushing yourself. Don't take me for a fool Sakura. I can feel how low your chakra is." She sighed as she gave up trying to pull her hair back and left it down to fall in a curtain of flowery pink around her and on the tops of creamy thighs.

" What would you like me to do Captain? Tell the people who need me they can just die? Besides you told me that last time because of Shisui's Sharingan." She said pulling her limbs out of his blankets she had been tangled in, in her fall.

" It still applies." She sighed. He walked over to kneel in front of her as she sat in his bed. She frowned at him.

" Have you found anything out about this issue with Sasuke?" She asked changing the subject but he didn't seem to mind so much. He knew she would never listen to him anyway. She was stubborn when it came to helping people, she did such at her own health risks.

" Father is furious that Sasuke's staying out with out ever coming home, but he can only blame himself. Sasuke himself has to talk with Father or else nothing will change." Sakura sighed running a hand through her bangs.

" Thank you for taking him in." She looked up into his onyx eyes.

" Don't worry Sasuke's my teammate, well I still consider him one. I don't mind him staying over." Itachi frowned at her.

" Is that not inconvenient for you considering?" She frowned at him. Considering what? Oh...

" Considering my lovers? Not really." Which was true. She wasn't with Neji anymore, and Naruto wouldn't try anything with Sasuke a hundred yards near the area, but he didn't seem to mind anyway, and the other...well he didn't come around much anyway, besides he knew Sasuke was there.

Itachi looked like he wanted to comment but shook his head and remained silent.

" So why did you feel the need to kidnap me this time, bringing me to your bedroom. Were you hoping for some alone time perhaps? Or did you just miss me that much?" Sakura asked with a slight teasing smirk. He blinked at her, before snorting.

" I wanted you to bring some of Sasuke's clothes to him. It's disturbing to see him wearing orange." Sakura laughed softly. Yes, Naruto had given Sasuke some clothes to wear since he refused to go home. Orange and Sasuke didn't match at all. She nodded.

" That would be good. I think Sasuke is a bit traumatized now." She giggled. Itachi raised an eye brow at her laughter. It was good to hear. He wondered how long it had been since he heard it.

" By the way...Something bothering you Captain?" She asked suddenly after her laughter died. She went right back to serious. Back on track. He frowned.

" Why do you ask?" He asked.

" You haven't been following me around lately." He sighed. Well he guessed he wasn't exactly stealthy about his following her around all those times. She would have noticed.

" Paperwork has increased since you broke my thirds heart." She winced.

" Sorry." She looked away. He raised an eye brow.

" Why?" He asked. She sighed.

" It's better you not know." He frowned at her. She looked up to his eyes and sighed.

" You wouldn't understand anyway Itachi." He jerked. She said his name, though she had said his name while also saying he couldn't understand what ever was going on with her and her lovers, which was sort of an insult at the same time, so he wasn't sure he should be happy or upset she had said his name after all this time.

She raised an eyebrow noticing the body movement.

" Itachi." She said testing him. He twitched. She grinned.

" Whats wrong Itachi? Don't like me saying your name? Or do you like it after all?" Her eyes were dark and dangerously amused. His eye twitched.

" Don't tease me Sakura." he said with a deep rumbling voice.

" Why not?" She asked. He sighed.

" Itachi..." She said with a sigh as well. He flinched.

" Yo Cousin!" Itachi stiffened and Sakura looked surprised as Shisui suddenly appeared in the room.

" Oh hellooo what is thisss?" Shisui asked with a grin as he looked at Sakura sitting ruffled in his cousin's bed. She blushed. Itachi raised a brow.

" Shut up Shisui." She said standing all that hair falling down her body like a water fall of flowery petals.

" Well this is certainly better then popping into to see you undressing cousin. This is definitely better... well it would be even better if we had some more flesh showing from the flower..." Shisui teased. She blushed more her eye starting to twitch.

" Shisui..." Sakura said with a threat he flinched but smiled at her none the less.

" Alright, alright." Shisui said surrendering.

" Anyway what are you doing here Sakura? Cousin get tired of watching you play with Sasu-chan?" Sakura looked surprised. Then she blushed. Shisui and Itachi looked at her for a long time...then...

" Holy hell Sakura!" Shisui said shocked.

" You have been playing with Sasu-chan!" Itachi narrowed his eyes at the woman. She couldn't be. Well he had been naked in her bed...after all.

" Shut up Shisui! No I haven't! Stop being a damn pervert!" She yelled with a dark blush. She then stuck her tongue out at them both childishly and disappeared. Itachi turned to look at his cousin with a raised brow.

" What do you know?" he asked. Shisui raised his brow as well.

" That depends...what did you see?"

XxxXxxXxxXxxX

" Alright Sakura... Now tell me." Sasuke demanded. Her eye twitched.

" Don't tell me what to do Sasuke." Sakura said with a sigh as she cooked dinner. He sat at the table and he frowned at her.

" Naruto didn't know about Neji no, but it doesn't matter. I'm not with Neji anymore, and Naruto is just a lover, were not dating. I'm sure he knows I have others. Couldn't you tell when you first found out?" She asked. Yeah Naruto had be pissed, but he also didn't quite get upset in the 'he didn't know she had any other lovers' sort of way. Just in a 'who the hell is that?' sort of way.

" Why do you have so many lovers anyway?" Sasuke asked with a scoff.

She turned her jade eyes back to him.

" Do you love them all? Do you need sex?" He asked looking over at her. She stared at him and his honest yet angry eyes and sighed. She turned her eyes back to the food.

" It's not about me Sasuke. Never has been." He frowned.

" What?"

" Don't worry about it. Naruto knows, and he won't be with me much longer anyway." Sasuke frowned.

" Your going to break up with the dobe?" Sasuke asked confused. Why would she? She looked happy with him...

" Yes. Don't worry about it Sasuke." And that ended the subject and conversation. She finished cooking and then left him to eat alone.

He was confused. Why was she breaking it off with the dobe, and why had she with the Hyuuga? Was she breaking it off with all her lovers? Why? Why would she do that? What did she mean it's not about her? Why wouldn't it be about her?
