A/N: Hmm... how shall I put this? Uh, sorry for the late update? :) Really, I apologize. I'm having some difficulties with this story. If you would like me to continue this, please send me a review. It would really help me continue this thing.

Yes, I know that I've been neglecting this story since I'm focusing on my other story, Falling In Love With A Heartbreaker Was Stupid (If you haven't read that yet, you can check it out on my profile. Go!), so I'm really sorry for the super duper, epically late update. Okay, now that I'm done, you can read the chapter now. :)

PREVIOUS CHAPTER RECAP:

When she returned to her room, she couldn't help herself but stare again at the exquisitely beautiful angel napping on her bed. He was so peaceful. When she caressed his pale cheek, her thumb brushed against his lips. She felt her cheeks heat up. Willing herself to look elsewhere, her eyes zeroed in on the angel's fluffy-looking black and light blue wings. She reached out to touch the feathery wings. She was intrigued by its texture. It was rough and soft at the same time. The root where it is colored black is slightly stiff while midway, where it is light blue, it was as fluffy as cotton. She giggled lightly since its texture was somewhat tickling her fingertips and palms.

She immediately put a hand over her mouth and stared warily at the angel's face, frightened that she woke him up. When his face remained impassive and seemingly undisturbed, she once again chuckled. She reached out and lightly pinched his straight nose.

"You're so cute." She whispered.

She caressed his raven colored locks and marveled at the softness of his tresses. Then, she wondered how he manages to make the back of his hair stand up in a gravity-defying manner. Dismissing the thought, she continued stroking the angel's locks. Everything about him seemed so perfect. The only explanation someone could be so perfect was that he was an angel, a servant of God. She smiled slightly at the idea. Yes, he was an angel.

At that moment, she noticed she was still clad in her pink halter dress. She stood up and went to her closet to grab her nightwear, a peach satin night gown Ino gave her for her last birthday. She walked off to her bathroom to change. At first, she only wanted to change into her PJs but since she felt weary sticky and weary because of her previous activities, she figured she could shower for a bit.

His eyes fluttered open, the blinding light stinging his eyes. He blinked a few times to be accustomed to the luminosity. His vision was met with a pure white ceiling and his keen hearing caught the sound of running water. He sat up from where he was lying down. He wondered where he was right now. All he remembered before passing out was that he was being chased by a persistent black dragon. He was unable to dodge the dragon's claw efficiently when he tried to strike his left wing, resulting to a gash on the left side of his stomach. Then, he remembered using the scroll of teleportation given to him by Shikamaru just in the nick of time before the dragon's fiery breath managed to touch his wings.

He stood up from where he was lying down and looked around. The place he was in has a wall that is a light peach, very different compared to the dungeons of the underworld. So he guessed he wasn't held captive and he also managed to escape from that annoying dragon just before getting smoldered and charred. Unsure of where the hell he was teleported, he guessed he was teleported to earth so it seemed.

Remembering his injury, he looked down. He saw he was bandaged up pretty nicely. Wondering who was kind enough to take care of him. It was rumored that humans are pretty brutal, aggressive and sadistic, always waging war with each other, leading to their own destruction. Still hearing the sound of rushing water somewhere, he quietly stood up from where he was sitting and stealthily made his way towards the direction of the noise. He opened the door, slipped inside, and inaudibly closing the door with the softest of clicks.

He felt sore and exhausted. The simple job of walking a few steps made his breathing go a little heavier than normal. His wound was still throbbing occasionally, making him wince. He leaned against the cold tile wall and let himself relax as he heard a soft humming coming from the person beyond the slightly translucent curtain. He assumed the person was taking a bath.

Making sure of his safety, he clutched his abdomen and warily stole a glance at the oblivious person. All he saw was a slim silhouette taking a shower. He stiffened when he heard the rushing water halt abruptly and a soft sigh was heard from the anonymous person beyond the bathroom curtain. Being vigilant as always, he resumed to his position of hiding behind the shadow of the wall he is leaning on, making sure he won't be seen from where the person is currently at.

He glanced again, curiously this time. What he saw definitely wasn't what he was expecting. There was a human girl, who had her back facing him, clad only in a fluffy pink towel. She had unusual pink hair reaching just above her shoulders. She had a pale but creamy complexion, soft and smooth looking skin and a nice figure, as far as he could tell.

But what had his jaw almost dropping to the ground was the mark on the human girl's neck.

It was the mark of the devil's angel.

Unable to stop himself but to take a closer look to make sure, to be sure that he wasn't hallucinating. He stepped forward from his hiding place and continued to walk towards the oblivious girl. He was limping slightly because of the pain on his lower abdomen but he continued on, ignoring the throbbing ache. It would heal soon enough. Then, the girl heard his approach so she spun around to face him, her hand clutched tight on her chest. He obviously surprised her.

"Oh god, you scared me." She mumbled as she tried to catch her breath.

When he was just right in front of her, he raised his hand slowly, as if silently telling the human girl that he meant no harm. The girl was looking at him curiously with wide questioning emerald orbs. He continued to raise his hand until it rested on the back of her head, touching her soaked pink tresses.

Sakura wondered silently if the angel in front of her was mute or something. Or maybe he spoke a different language that he knew she wouldn't understand so he just kept his mouth shut, which forced them to communicate through body language. Her instinct on self-preservation was warring with her morbid curiosity. She was scared if he would do something bad to her, but she hoped not. All she knew about this mysterious creature in front of her was that he was an angel (she wasn't even really sure if her theory is one hundred percent true), no more. While she was very curious to what he wants with her. Maybe he wants to thank me, she thought.

His hand slid from her head to her shoulder while his other hand that was lying limply on his side moved to her other shoulder. He heard her squeak in surprise. The pink haired girl glanced up, unease clearly written in her eyes. Making an effort to relieve her, he said,

"May I?"

She nodded dumbly even if she didn't actually know what he wanted to do. After hearing his deep husky voice, her theory of him being mute was shattered into pieces, even the assumption that he didn't know how to speak English. She looked straight into his eyes and waited for his next move.

He felt the girl bob her head once in affirmation. He gripped her shoulders and gently turned her around so her back faced him. He held the girl's pink hair with one hand and swept it away to her shoulder to clear the obstruction from her neck. That was when he saw it.

It was really there, the mark of the devil's angel, the key to prevent the world's destruction but also the one who can trigger the world's apocalypse. She was the one they've been searching for decades. She was the reincarnation of the devil's angel.

He stroked the mark on the back of her neck and she felt her shudder delicately.

"Where did you get this?" He asked flatly, his question almost sounded like a statement.

"I-It's a birthmark. It was there ever since I was born." He heard her say truthfully.

As he was silent for a few moments, mulling over the information. He deliberated whether it was just pure coincidence or he really found the girl they've been seeking out for years. If this human girl really was the reincarnation of the devil's angel then they were extremely lucky to find her first before they did.

Storing all the facts he have gathered, he put them at the back of his mind for future ponderings. He decided he should take her to the team, though he had no idea where they were. So, he abruptly grabbed the pink haired girl's wrist that was holding her hair away from her neck and dragged her out of the bathroom. He heard the girl squeak in surprise and he caught the girl before she tumbled onto the tiled floor of the bathroom.

His cold calculating gaze glanced at the girl in his arms. She turned into different shades of red. Wondering if she was alright, he placed his palm on her smooth forehead. This made the girl blush all the more. Seemingly not really aware of the position they are in, he raised one black eyebrow at her reactions.

Sakura was feeling lightheaded and dizzy at the same time. It was all because of that angel's fault! He just unexpectedly grabbed my wrist. Of course, it was expected for a klutz like me to trip over her own feet. So, I stumbled forward when he tugged at my wrist, making me lose my balance. As I started to fall forwards, I felt his strong arms catch me before I land face-first onto the hard tiled floor of my bathroom.

After a moment of realizing our almost inexistent proximity away from each other and the suggestive position we were now in, I blushed profusely. I could feel his warm breath on my face, smell his manly scent as it assaulted my senses, making me fully aware of his overwhelming presence. He had one of his arms around my waist, carrying most of my weight while his other hand was on the small of my back holding me close to him. It only made things worse when I remembered I was still just clad in my towel, nothing more! Saying this was awkward was the understatement of the decade.

I looked up at him as he released his hold on my back and placed it gently on my forehead. Unable to help myself, I blushed harder, if that was even possible. I felt blood rushing to my cheeks, warming them. When I looked at his calm and composed face, I saw his eyebrow raised in silent question. Geez, was he not uncomfortable at all? Here he was, an angel, closely holding a human girl in his arms only clothed in a freaking towel.

Forcing her blush to fade away or at least lessen, she shook her head and struggled to stand upright. As he noticed she wanted to stand up on her own two feet, he let go of her waist. Standing up on wobbly legs, she shuffled off to her bathroom, aware of the pair of onyx eyes trailing after her. Before closing the door of the bathroom shut, she glanced up at him and said ineptly,

"Err… I'll just go change."

After that, she closed the door with a heavy sigh.

Dismissing the pink haired human's weird reactions, he shrugged to himself. Sasuke trudged off back to the bed. He felt the ache on his lower abdomen ebb until it was gone. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he lifted his black shirt up to examine his injury. Poking the slightly bloody bandage, he felt no pain or discomfort. Planning to rip the bandage away since his cut was already healed; he tugged at the bloody gauze covering the left side of his stomach.

Unaware of the bathroom door opening, he continued trying to tear the gauze away. Then,

"Hey! What are you doing?" He heard a feminine voice reprimand him.

Then, he felt small hands preventing him from ripping the constricting material off.
