Authors Note: I want to thank you guys for my reviews, four reviews is the most I've gotten(:!
As I said, here is your promised third chapter!
Sakura slipped on her mask, and tied her hair in its usual pony-tail.
Her plan was to follow Sasuke, kill each and every Akatsuki, and bring Sasuke home.
Forcefully.
She smirked as she stood, and went to join Suigetsu and Sasuke.
"I'm ready!" Sakura chriped happily.
Sasuke was leaning against a tree, looking like he had when they were thirteen.
Sasuke opened his eyes, and nodded.
"Ohayo, Sasuke-kun, and Sui!" Sakura tried again at a conversation.
"Ohayo, Blossom." Suigetsu wiggled his eyebrows.
Sakura laughed and looked over at Sasuke who now had a annoyed expression on his face.
"Ohayo, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said again.
"…Ohayo." Sasuke said plainly.
(A/N: Ohayo:Good Morning)
Sasuke was really dampening her morning mood.
"SMACK THE TEME!" Inner Sakura raged.
Sakura smirked.
'I outta!' Sakura replied.
"CHAA!" Inner Sakura said smiling deviously, and raising a fist.
Sakura giggled.
"Eh? What are you laughing at Blossom, I havn't done anything."
Sakura stopped laughing.
"Well, you see..I have a sorta..Second soul in me, you know?" Sakura said.
"Second Soul?"
Sakura remembered how she had finally figured out what this Inner Sakura was when her and Ino had fought in the Chuunin exams.
"Yeah! She is really…Mean." Suigetsu laughed.
"I am not." Inner Sakura pouted.
"So that's why you fade out for a while and get that cute look on your face?" Suigetsu asked.
"I-I do!" Sakura said horrified.
Suigetsu laughed.
"No! I was kidding! Your face always looks cute!" Suigetsu said.
Sakura blsuhed.
"Thank you!" She smiled and giggled.
Sasuke snorted.
Sakura immediately was aggitaited at his mood.
"Sasuke, why do you gotta be a big glump of gloomy?" Sakura asked, crossing her arms.
Suigetsu slowely slinked away.
"Why do you have to flirt and act so flattered?" Sasuke said flatly.
"URGH! KILL HIM NOW! DO IT!" Inner Sakura screamed, stomping around.
"Sasuke..I'll kill you!" Sakura raised a fist.
Sasuke raised a eyebrow.
"Will you?" He said, a smug look on his face.
Sakura growled.
"YEAH! I WILL!" She yelled.
Sasuke had a smirk tugging at his lips.
"I doubt it." He replied.
Sakura could feel her face turning red with anger.
"RAWR!" Inner Sakura rampaged.
Sakura walked up to Sasuke, and pulled back her fist.
Running chakra threw it, she swung.
Sasuke quickly caught it, and Sakura threw the next one.
He also caught it, but what he didn't catch was her knee straight to his groin!
Sasuke dropped to the ground like a fly.
"HA! TRY HAVING YOUR UCHIHA BABIES NOW!" Inner Sakura smacked her hands together, celebrating the victory.
Sakura backed away, when she saw Sasukes sharingan burning.
"Aha..Ha?" Sakura laughed nervously.
Sasuke jumped on her, and landed on top of her.
"Sakura…I will kill you..If you EVER do that again." He warned.
His sharingan was spinning, and Sakura looked up at him blankly.
"Then maybe you shouldn't test ME, Sasuke-kun." She replied.
Sasuke leaned in and when she thought he was going to kiss her, he whispered:
"Don't push me, Sakura-chan." He added the suffix heavily, for effect.
Sakura bit her lip to refrain from saying something she would regret.
He got off of her, and went back to his spot leaning on the tree, as if nothing happened.
Suigetsu helped her up and laughed.
"That was intense! It was like watching a movie!" Sakura laughed, brushing off the dirt on her clothes.
"Yeah, I guess!" She said.
"Here.." Suigetsu wet his thumb, and wiped the dirt off her cheek.
"There! Perfect." He clapped.
Sakura smiled, and rubbed her head.
She wasn't sure he liked her as his sister.
"Thank you, Sui." She smiled, and looked over at Sasuke, who was looking at them with a slight frown.
That's when a scream was heard.
Sakura quickly ran towards the direction.
Another scream!
Sakura jumped the branches quicker, the forset was a blur.
The screams were getting louder, so that meant she was near.
Finally, she jumped down from the branch, and saw something that chilled her blood.
Red hair was everywhere, and in the middle of the field, was a piece of a akatsuki cloak.
"Karin.." Sakura whispered.
Sakura could already tell it was booby-trapped, so when Suigetsu came by her she quickly grabbed him.
Sasuke came next, and she warned him.
"So, they have Karin." Sasuke whispered.
Sakura nodded.
"Looks like it." She replied.
"For now on, Taka will stick together at all times. Bathing and using the bathroom is no exception." Sasuke said when they got back to camp.
"But I'm a girl-"
"Karin complied." Suigetsu interupted.
"That's because shes a nasty undignified person." Sakura replied.
"Sakura, you have no choice. That, or get captured by Akatsuki." Sasuke offered.
"..Fine. Just..Don't…be weird about it, ok?" Sakura asked.
Suigetsu nodded, Sasuke snorted.
"Well, lets get going." Sakura said.
Sakura was jumping threw the trees, having a very deep discussion about Sakuras mask with Suigetsu.
Sasuke was ahead of them by a few branches, but he could hear everything they said.
"I think it doesn't fit your personality. That's what its supposed to represent, right? Your personality?" Suigetsu questioned.
Sakura nodded.
"But I think the fox fits. Its because you don't know me as the Ninja I am." Sakura argued.
Suigetsu snorted.
"Yeah? What kind of Ninja are you? I thought you healed people?"
Sakura smirked.
"I do. But I only did that a year after Sasuke left. I mastered it by then!" Sakura declared.
"So, what kind of things make you a fox? Other than your looks?" Suigetsu winked.
Sakura saw Sasuke look back and give Suigetsu a dirty look.
Sakura raised an eyebrow, but continued with their conversation.
" Well, I've stolen scrolls, and assasinated many people." Sakura replied honestly.
"Aa. Now I can see why you're a fox." Suigetsu consented. "What about your hair? Is it natural?"
Sakura chuckled.
"Ahh, the infamous hair question! Yes, it is natural! Its weird isn't it?" Sakura sighed.
"No, I think its beautiful." Suigetsu said.
Sakura blushed.
"T-Thank you.. I always was made fun of because of it, but it seems that I've been getting compliments after I turned fifteen."
"Sasuke told me you had a big forehead." Suigetsu whispered.
Sakura facepalmed.
"Yes. I did. When did you guys talk about me?"
Suigetsu put his hand on his chin in a thinking pose.
"Hmm. He talked about Team seven generally a lot. But then, he started narrowing it down to only you."
Sakura smiled warmly.
"He did? What kind of things did he say?"
"That you were annoying, had a big fore-head, and were desperately in love with him."
Sakura sweat-dropped.
"A-Ah. I see." Sakura was going to throw a rock at his head, but deicided not to.
"WHATTA A**-HOLE!" Inner Sakura said, anime tears running down her cheeks.
It has been about five hours since they've been traveling, and it was almost dusk.
Sakura's limbs were aching, and Suigetsu noticed by her decrease of speed.
"Blossom, I'll carry you on my back, if you want."
Sakura rubbbed her eye, and nodded.
She jumped on his back, and Suigetsu hurried to catch up with Sasuke.
"Oyasumi, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said tiredly. (A/N: Oyasumi: Good Night)
Sasuke frowned at them both.
"We will camp right now, actually."
"But we are supposed to be on the border of the Fire country-"
"No." Sasuke interupted.
"Well, I need to take a bath." Suigetsu said, taking Sakura to a rushing river close to them.
Sasuke sighed and followed.
Suigetsu set down Sakura, and Sakura watched the boys strip.
She closed her eyes tightly.
"Sakura, you might as well bathe now." Sasuke said above the roaring water.
Sakura was sitting down, blushing and shaking her head furiously.
"NO SASUKE-KUN!" She said.
She then felt cold hands on her.
"Eww! NO! LET ME GO!" Sakura kicked and screamed.
"Sakura, stop being childish." Sasuke said.
Sakura opened her eyes, and saw Sasuke wasn't naked, he had his boxers on.
"Y-You're not naked?" She asked.
Sasuke shook his head.
"I wouldn't be naked in front of you."
Inner Sakura cried herself to sleep that moment.
Sakura sweat dropped.
"So, I..I don't have to be naked?"
Sasuke smirked.
"No."
"O-Ok. I..I will go then."
Sasuke let her go.
Sakura took off her white vest, and then her black turtle-neck.
Next, she took off her black leggings.
Finally, she took out her hair.
Sasuke was staring at her, and that made her uncomfortable.
She awkwardly rubbed her arms, attempting to hide herself from him.
"L-lets go, Sasuke-kun.." She broke the silence.
Sasuke blinked.
"A..Aa."
Sakura adjusted her bra, and made sure it was secure.
She put chakra in her legs before she stepped in, so she wouldn't get swept away by the current.
The water was VERY cold.
So cold she chattered.
"Dunk your head!" Suigetsu said, walking over to her.
Sakura was only belly-button deep, and she wasn't looking forward to being completely under.
Suigetsu uncrossed her arms and took her hands.
Sakura saw the blush on his cheeks, but deicided not to call him out for it.
Sakura felt exposed, even though she wasn't nude.
"Well, we are gonna go under in..3…2…1!" Suigetsu dragged her under, and the shock of the cold made her loose her chakra control.
Suigetsu held onto her, keeping her close to his body.
He pushed them both up, and Sakura laughed.
Suigetsu was very warm, and she clutched to him.
"You're warm, Sui.." She said to him.
"You are cold, Blossom."
Sakura smiled as he lifted her bridal style.
Sakura looked over his shoulder and saw Sasuke turn his head away from them.
"Sui, can you let me down real quick?"
Suigetsu nodded and made sure she was secure to the ground of the river.
She thanked him and walked over to Sasuke.
Too surprise him, she wrapped her arms around his strong chest.
"Guess who, Sasuke-kun!" She laughed.
Sasuke unlatched her arms, and brought her infront of him.
"Sakura.." He whispered.
Her heart beat eratically. She couldn't hear her name, but she could tell he said her name by his lips.
Sakura smiled and noticed his hair was still dry.
Sakura came up with a plan quickly, and deicided to act now, think later.
Sakura jumped on him, and pulled him under water with her.
She opened her eyes, and saw he did the same.
Sakura smiled at him and held onto his neck.
They were facing eachother, seeming to float because of the current.
Sasuke smirked at her.
Sakura brushed his hair with her fingers.
Sakura could tell they were running out of air, and that it would have to end.
Sasuke pulled them both above the surface, and held Sakura's waist securely, until she had gotten her chakra connected back on the river floor.
He let go of her waist, and Sakura let go of his neck.
Sakuras skin was flushed from the intense cold, and her teeth chattered.
She pulled Sasuke to a rock with her, and they both sat.
Sakura brushed her fingers threw his hair.
His hair was down, unlike his usual hair style.
"I like your hair better up." Sakura whispered.
"Hn." He whispered back.
He suddenly layed back on the large rock,his head on her lap.
Sakura blushed and smiled down at him.
Sasuke closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of her caressing his scalp.
"Sasuke-kun.."
"Hm?"
"I'm glad I found you." She said.
Sasuke smirked softly.
"I'm glad I didn't kill you when I saw you at the camp."
Sakura chuckled.
"Me too."
His hair was drying, and was now soft.
"I love you..Your hair." Sakura corrected quickly.
Sasuke opened his eyes slightly.
He reached up and touched her silky pink hair.
His obsidian looked up at her big green ones, and the pink curtain that framed her pale face.
"I enjoy your hair also." Sasuke said formally.
Sakura suddenly grabbed his hand, and put it to her chest.
Sasuke blushed at the touch of her breast, but felt her speedy beat.
"You feel that, Sasuke-kun?"
He gulped and nodded.
"That's what happens when you touch me." She whispered softly.
Sasuke felt his own heartbeat speed up.
He pulled her hand down to his chest.
"Feel that, Sakura?"
Sakura nodded.
"That's the reason you annoy me." He smirked at her.
Sakura smiled down at him.
She chukled softly at first, but soon was shaking with her laughs.
"S-Sasuke-kun!" She laughed, tears streaming down her face.
Sasuke soon started chuckling lightly.
"It wasn't that funny." Sasuke said.
Sakura wiped her tears away.
"It was, though." Sakura smiled, looking up at the sky.
"I guess my wish came true.." She said to nobody in particular.
"What wish?" Sasuke asked.
She gazed at the lite sky, shaking her head.
"I can't tell you." She said.
'This is why I love you, Sasuke-kun.'
And there is chapter three.
