Chapter two
AN: yo I'm so sorry about all the typo's in the last chapter, I'm not going to make excuses, I was being a lazy bitch and I didn't feel like going through it again, but I did and suffice to say I found a whole lot of shit to fix *facepalm*. Anyway, thanks for the favourites and the follows! I never expected this kind of attention, you guys are fucking legends!
…
Sakura felt restless after Sasuke left to report in. She wanted to do something nice for him since he'd come back to Konoha after so long. She knew going out to eat would be out of the picture, since most everybody knew either her face, his face, or both their faces and would want to strike up a conversation. Which doesn't sound like something Sasuke would be partial to. So she decided to do something inside. The only thing she could think of that didn't involve her being too drained to go into work the next day was dinner. So Sakura abruptly made her way to her collection of cookbooks, that was significantly smaller than her collection of medical ninjutsu books, but was a collection all the same. She chose to make Penne alla Vodka and a Caprese salad for the night, since both dishes were pretty generous with the tomatoes. After reading through the ingredients, Sakura slipped out of her slippers into her heals, covered most of her neck and shoulders in concealer, grabbed her shopping tote and set out to the market.
…
Tomoe and Ryou watched silently from the bushes as the mysterious stranger left the Haruno girl's apartment. What kind of guy goes into a young woman's house at 5:00 in the morning and leaves at noon? Tomoe is baffled by this guy. Sure, he'd reported on tons of people all over konoha, hell he'd even caught Konoha's hero getting it on with his new wife in the woods outside of konoha. Sure he'd gotten one hell of a beating right after he took the picture, but the pay check was FAT! While Tomoe was reminiscing back to the good times when shit actually happened in the village, he heard a click from the door of Sakura's apartment. He quickly concealed his chakra, and so did Ryou. Not long after Sakura emerged holding a tote of some kind. Looks like our flower's heading out. Tomoe cocked his head to the side and mouthed at Ryou to follow her. After Sakura was halfway down the block, Tomoe and Ryou emerged from the bushes and followed after her, making sure to keep distance between them, as to not creep her out or anything.
…
The smell of fresh produce and wildflowers hit Sakura way before the market came into view. She loved coming into the village. People were always so nice and everybody usually had a good story to tell. Sure, some days she couldn't care less about what's going on in other people's lives, but that day wasn't one of those days. The man shed pined for, for most of her life is her's and he's back where she doesn't constantly have to worry about the state of his well being. Hell, he maybe one of the two strongest ninjas of their time but she worries nonetheless.
Sakura makes her way along the stalls, stopping and conversing with the street vendors as she goes. She eyes some especially tantalising looking fruits and makes her way up to the stall. "Excuse me, how much for ten of these tomatoes here?"
Sakura asks the woman behind the counter. She's a woman that Sakura sees quite often, being that she has four small sons, and with ninjas in the making injuries are bound to happen. "Oh Sakura-san! You have a good eye! Those ones are a new kind we just got, apparently they're supposed to be two times juicier than regular tomatoes." The woman says, her ringlets around her face bobbing as she rambles. Sakura's eyes light up Sasuke-kun is going to love these then! "make it 15!" Sakura says excitedly. The woman chuckles and bags fifteen tomatoes, and then throws in a couple more. Sakura begins to object, but the woman simply shakes her head and pushes them into her hands. Reluctantly Sakura takes the tomatoes and thanks the woman several times over, before heading down the street in search for oregano and basil.
Sakura looks around the market seems like the guy who usually sells herbs isn't around. Sakura pulls a face and turns around crashing right into what feels like a rock. She begins to profusely appologize before she opens her eyes and sees a big orange hoodie. "You need to be more aware of your surroundings Sakura chan." Her boisterous whiskered friend says. " I'm sorry Naruto, I was zoning out a little." Sakura says to the blonde. " Oh thinking of all the nasty shit you're going to do to sasuke when he gets back?" Sakura punches him in the arm. Naruto chuckles and eyes her bag "From the looks of it Teme's already back, he didn't even come see me, that jerk!" Naruto exclaims " and after all I've don't to get that sucker back to the village too" Sakura rolls her eyes and smiles " he's reporting in with Kakashi sensei right now, I'm sure he'd have gone to see you right after." Sakura pats him on the arm. " so what're you two having tonight?" Naruto says falling in step with Sakura, who began walking back to her apartment. "can I come?" "no Naruto you can't come, Sasuke-kun just got back. I'll send him your way tomorrow." Sakura says with an air of finality about her that Naruto can't argue with. " Stingy..." he says before he sees kiba and shino step out of a Takoyaki place. " I'll see you around Sakura-chan! Tell teme to come visit me, it gets lonely without him." He says as he begins to jog towards Shino and Kiba. "Oi! Did ya guys here teme's back in town! Let's hang out! I'm lonely!" Naruto called out at Shino and Kiba. " Naruto you've got a wife!" Sakura calls out after him. Chuckling to herself.
…
To say that reporting on Sakura Haruno's trip to the market had been boring would be the understatement of the year. Tomoe and Ryou just watched her go from one stall to the next, occasionally striking up a conversation with the farmers. All in all she had been doing nothing out of the ordinary. Where's that poncho guy, honestly...Tomoe considered himself to be a patient guy, you had to be to make it in his field. But he was getting bored out of his mind. The way Ryou looked around people watching, led Tomoe to believe his assistant was having similar feelings.
They continued to watch Sakura fretting around, honestly if you didn't know she was a war hero, you'd never be able to tell by the way she behaves. Do something! Tomoe repeated in his head like a mantra. Just then, Sakura just happened to bump straight into, none other than the villages resident hero, and everybody's favorite ninja. Tomoe and Ryou moved themselves over to a closer stall, as to listen in on their conversation. They had missed out on a small part of the conversation, but heard Naruto complain about a person he referred to as 'teme' supposedly not coming to see him. They watched how Sakura defended him and went on the provide excuses in his behalf. Via deductive reasoning and putting two and two together, Tomoe decided two things. Number one, the guy they were talking about was the poncho guy, and number two, Naruto knew him well enough to bestow such a nickname upon him, especially considering how nice a guy he was. After watching Naruto jog towards Kiba and Shino, Tomoe also reasoned that poncho guy was close with the rest of the rookie nine.
This guy seems like quite the guy. We need to figure out who this guy is asap. I can't believe I've just been sitting on a guy like this all this time. Tomoe was knocked out of his thoughts by Ryou, who by the looks of it had come to the same conclusions he had, judging by the look on his face. He then said, " Yo boss, I know you don't think it's the Uchiha, but it makes sense for it to be him right?" Tomoe pulled a face and knocked the idea around in his head. Sure, it was no secret that Sakura Haruno was in love with the Uchiha, she had been ever since they were children. Sakura having grown up to be quite the stunner, it made sense for Sasuke to want to date her also. If the poncho guy was the Uchiha boy, it would make sense for the rookie nine and Naruto to be friends with him as well.. "You might just be right you little shit, but we can't jump to conclusions." Tomoe started. "We'll watch the apartment tonight, to see if we can catch his face and we can make our minds up in the morning." Tomoe decided.
…
Sakura had started to get sick of checking the time. She had cooked everything up and set the table twenty minutes ago. It was seven thirty in the evening and Sakura couldn't quite wrap her mind as to why sasuke was taking so much time. Even if his meeting with Kakashi sensei was super long and he met with Naruto later, he should've been her hours ago. Sakura didn't want to be one of those controlling girlfriends and she realized he needed his space, so she tried not to get too worked up. Then in occurred to her she needed something to distract herself while she waited. She placed covers and lids on all the food with a small sigh. She shouldn't be disappointed, she always found herself waiting around for sasuke anyway. No! He's here now, and he loves you as much as you love him, you can't just doubt him cuz he's a little late. Sakura chastised herself and shook herself off.
Sakura made her way to her shelves and grabbed a couple of medical and botany books and placed them on her coffee table. She tied her hair up and settled herself on her couch with the couch throw over her body. Soon Sakura stopped constantly checking the time and lost herself in her books. Sakura started to feel drowsy, she refused to sleep though. Her lids felt weighed down and her couch suddenly felt much comfier than normal. A small nap wouldn't hurt anybody. Sakura let out another small sigh and let herself fall into the sleep her body begged for.
…
"Sakura.." Sakura grumbled and turned away from the sound. "Oi Sakura, you can't sleep there, you'll get a cold." Sakura's nose scrunched up and she grumbled. She herd a light chuckled and felt an arm wrap around her. She leaned into the familiar heat and touch. She rubbed herself against a warm clothed pectoral. She smelt a familiar deep musky scent and pressed herself against the body even more. "Saku-" she heard sasuke start. Sasuke... SASUKE! Her sasuke! Sakura jumped up off the couch, the throw falling to the floor, her body devoid of all sleepiness. "Sasuke-kun!" Sakura gaped at the man sitting on her couch, his face showing more emotion than it probably had in weeks. He looked bit confused and concerned at the same time, even witch such an odd look on his face, Sasuke looked breathtakingly attractive. "What's wrong Sakura?" Sasuke said his hand reaching out for her waist eyebrows scrunched up together. "Oh it's nothing.." Sakura started " I just kind of forgot that you were back for a second.." she said with a small embarrassed chuckle her face flushed and eyes glued to the floor. "I'm sorry Sakura." Sasuke deadpanned. Sakura's eyes immediately met his. She didn't think he'd ever apologised to anyone before in his life. "It's not a problem Sasuke-kun." Sakura smiled down at him. She leaned down to his face and took his flushed face in her hands and placed a peck on his soft cold lips.
"Is it cold outside?" Sakura chuckled as she got back up. "A little.." Sasuke mumbled, clearly a little shocked or embarrassed by Sakura's sudden show of affection, still not quite used to someone loving him the way Sakura does. Sakura gave him a warm smile and said, "come, I cooked for us..it might be a little cold now though.". Sasuke got up off the couch and followed Sakura into the kitchenette. He sat down on a stool and took the lids off the bowls and plates. Sakura sat across from him and watched his face, he seemed to be content, maybe even happy. But it was hard to tell with Sasuke with him being, well him. "Naruto wanted to show me around." Sasuke said under his breath, barely loud enough for Sakura to hear. "Huh?"Sakura asked, confused as to why Sasuke felt the need to bring that up. "That's why I was so late" Sasuke mumbled his eyes on his plate. "I know you didnt expect me to be as late as I was..". "Oh no Sasuke-kun it's alright. I don't mind." Sakura said placing a hand on his shoulder reassuringly. "Come let's eat." Sakura beamed with a small pat. "My cooking has gotten way better, I can assure you!" Sakura beamed. She could've sworn she saw Sasuke smirk before he began eating.
…
Tomoe and Ryou had found themselves exactly where they were this morning. Stuck in the bushes outside of Sakura Haruno's house, waiting for something exciting to happen while having a stick prodding his ass cheek and a pebble stuck in his shoe. At least she's got nice thick bushes, otherwise we'd be stuck up a fucking tree or something. Tomoe thought to himself trying to uplift his mood. Just then the man clad in the stupid looking poncho appeared. Just the man Tomoe wanted to see. "Ok get a few good ones of his face " Tomoe half whispered half mouthed to his assistant. The man had a blank emotionless face. Nonetheless, he looked intimidating, dangerous even. Uchiha or not, with a face like that, that man must definitely attract quite a few women. He walked up the small steps up to the Haruno girl's door, whipped out a key and walked right in. Tch, yeah they're definitely dating.
Once the poncho guy was out of sight Tomoe turned around to Ryou immediately. " lemme see those pictures! Show me his face." Tomoe said breathlessly. " geez, calm down,they aren't going anywhere." Ryou laughed and handed his camera over. Tomoe clicked through the pictures, zooming into each one. He spent a good ten minutes analysing the pictures. "Yo.. you were right you little shit.. that's the Uchiha boy." He breathed. His eyes shining. I have a story on my hands now! "So now we can go back to the office and write up a piece yeah?" Ryou asked. "NOPE!" Tomoe snapped. "Now, we've hit the jackpot. We wait and watch until they do something exciting or at least until we get some rock solid evidence." Tomoe reasoned. Boss is definitely going to give me that editor's position after this. Tomoe smirked to himself and said. "Oi! You little shit! They'd probably be heading up to bed by now, we should probably climb up that tree and hide ourselves right before they get up there." Tomoe told Ryou and he brushed the leaves and dirt off his clothes.
…
After dinner, Sakura and Sasuke cleared up and washed up. Sakura shouldn't feel nervous to share a bed with Sasuke. But they'd only slept in the same bed a handful of times and the novelty hadn't quite washed off yet. Along with that, the slight awkwardness also remained. Sasuke wasn't the most easygoing guy. But Sakura has always prided herself in being able to read Sasuke better than most. This is going to be great. We've done this before, yeah! We'll be fine. It'll be warm and nice and cozy. Sakura also prided herself in being able to convince herself of most things if she set her mind to it.
Sasuke opened the door to her room and plopped down onto her bed. Watching her with what could only be described as, come hither eyes. Sakura gave him a small smile and sat down on the bed next to him. Her bare leg brushing up against his sweatpants clad leg. Sasuke wasn't one to wear a shirt to sleep, but he did like to cover his legs. Initially Sakura found it a little weird, but Sasuke wasn't one most people would regard as normal anyway. Maybe he runs warm. Sakura thought to herself. Sakura watched as Sasuke reclined onto one of her pillows. His lone arm left stretched over to her side of the bed. Almost as an invitation for Sakura to cuddle up next to him. Sasuke was a man of few words, but he always got what he wanted. Sakura placed a hand on his toned, sleek chest and laid her head down on his bicep. Sasuke look down at her and gave her a small peck. Sakura made sure to pay him back in full, with interest. She leaned into the kiss, her hands moving from his chest to into his hair and on his cheek. Sasuke's lone hand running through her soft cotton candy hair, pulling it free out of her ponytail. Sakura felt his tongue pressing against her lips, as to ask for permission. Sakura and Sasuke's innocent kiss became less and less innocent as time went by. Sweat slicked bodies rubbing up against one another, hands disappearing under clothes. After what felt like an eternity, Sasuke's control began to slip. He pulled away, "straddle me.." he said, his voice coarse, breathless, sexy. Sakura was confused to say the least, but she had never been one to deny Sasuke.
She got up off the bed and sat down on top of him. The state of his manhood was clear to her now. Sakura leaned back down into a kiss. Sasuke's hand found itself under her shirt, his thumb tracing the underside of her breast. As their making out grew in intensity, she could feel sasuke bucking up against her. Sakura smirked into their kiss, and pulled away. Choosing instead to suck on a spot on his neck. Sasuke's breath grew ragged and Sakura ground down onto him. Sasuke hissed. "S-Sakura..." Sasuke moaned. "Shh don't talk." Sakura whispered into his ear, making a point to lick the shell of his ear in time with the movement of her hips on top of him. At this point Sasuke's eyes were practically closed in pleasure, he looked at her through hazy eyes and a fan of his thick ebony lashes. Sasuke's face was flushed and sweaty. Sakura decided this was when he looked best. The fact that she'd be the only one to see him like this gave her a new sense of vigour and Sakura increased the pace of her movements. Sasuke was breathless, his muscles tensing up and bunching together. With a grunt Sasuke came undone under her. Sakura gave him an accomplished smirk and was about to get off him, when Sasuke grabbed her by the arm and brought her down onto him. "Quite the little vixen, now aren't you Sakura. Since when have you been such a pervert." Sasuke breathed in her ear. Sending chills down Sakura's body. "Since you made me one." Sakura said, her face nestled in the crook of his neck. Sasuke chuckled. Sending vibrations through her body. "Hn." He said "we can lie like this later Sakura, let me get cleaned up. I need to change my pants now." Sasuke said nudging Sakura's side. With a small laugh Sakura rolled off him and watched him as he walked to the bathroom. My man's got a hot body if I've ever seen one. Sakura thought to herself before curling into herself and closing her eyes, allowing sleep to take her. It didn't bother until she felt Sasuke's arm wrapped around her again. Her breathing syncing with his slow long breaths.
