Chapter 18 my light and my darkness

Sakura leapt up a Cliffside Sasuke coming right behind her only a little slower so he could get the best view. She slipped and caught herself rightly flinging herself up onto the edge and looked below as Sasuke came up pushing her backwards catching her lips backing her into a tree.

"Sasuke I said you come because you were bored, I am on a time line you know." She said then gasped as pulled her closer kissing up her neck to her ear.

"We always are on a time schedule!" He whispered. She growled then moved away and down the tree line Sasuke sighed and raced after her as she picked up speed now that she was on flat land.

"You had your chance last night and before we left this morning." She said looking over at him as he took the more advance branches.

"You weren't so tempting then,"

"Well then maybe I have a headache." She snapped jumping a good spread she smiled pushing off his shoulders to a higher branch forcing him to land below her. He growled frustrated and jumped to her level and played catch up.

"This letter couldn't be that be that important couldn't a runner take it?" He asked she flipped downwards and pulled her Anbu mask down and stopped moving as she looked around the forest. He looked at her then sighed moving into his own shadow as three nin came into view a few minutes later.

"Password." Sakura said lowly.

"Chi" the first man. "Second password."

"Lie" the other man said.

"Third password."

"Debt" the other one said.

"Password" They said together.

"Deception isn't an option." She said they nodded and Sakura handed the letter over they tucked away nodded to her then vanished from sight. She turned away from the men who were surly watching her but she too vanished from sight and met up with Sasuke who was waiting for her on the area of discussion.

She pulled her mask off tying onto her waist and walked towards him wrapping her arms around his middle then turned around him till she faced him.

"Deception is an option?" He asked she smiled and nodded.

"Anbu messages are cryptic as always you know that more then most."

"Just because I am cryptic doesn't mean I would know that."

"You know when we are all done with this whole ordeal you should think about doing Anbu work, solitary working environment, a perk for you because you wouldn't get stuck with idiots teammates seeing how that was your real issue when we were a team."

"I don't mind fallowing you, the view is better then being in front confused why I didn't know about it when we were on a team and I had a reason to be behind you." He said she smiled pulling him closer but his arms were still at his side, punishment for earlier resisting.

"Well at the time it was my turn to see what it was like, I got two rather interesting views." He looked down almost angry. She smiled she was hoping to get a rise out of him that way.

"There is still a rivalry there you just don't want to admit it, and no worries you know what the out comes are to most things. You wouldn't have said things like you were using me and I was a pawn in your little game of chess to him you if you didn't still see him as one." She moved away from him but he pulled her back wrapping her in his arms tightly. Her face hidden under his arms.

"He told you?" He asked she shook her head.

"I figured it out when he said 'he is using you Sakura…' then your odd guilty look when I came into your room really gave you away." He moved away again but not too far enough for her to look up at him.

"I know what your heart says, your eyes will always be a dark hole that hardly reveals anything, you can't mask your heart I know you love me. You can even try to convince yourself that your not."

"I tried."

"So did I." He gave a fake small smile it was quick but he released her all the same. The conversation ruined the mood but it was one that needed to be had even if it had no real purpose.

"I want to have kids one day." He looked at her as she looked at the cliff they were over looking.

"What brought that on?"

"I figured you should know." He was confused.

With that she turned away from him completely and started down the face of the cliff he watched her confused about the sudden conversation. What was he supposed to do with that information?

He jumped over the edge and chased after her but stayed away enough to give her space. Something about her was…almost sad? Confused? Angry? He didn't know how to read her emotions as well as she read him. A open book of medical jutsu would make more sense to him then that little detail.

They reached Konoha shortly afterwards she went straight home as did Sasuke still trailing behind her thinking things over. The whole village knew he was there so being seen in public wasn't an issue. The looks weren't all that different from when he used to walk the streets.

He was darkness…always has been. He looked over at Sakura who smiled and waved at neighbors who would smile and wave then give a polite smile to Sasuke and resume their work. He sighed, and she was his light…

They walked inside the apartment and she headed straight to the bedroom with the frustrated Sasuke at her heels. She set her mask in its hidden place then turned around as Sasuke halted her in her tracks she looked up into his face and smiled.

He looked at her face her caring eyes, her soft moon kissed skin the fine lined face to her slender neck. He looked to the side for a minute before bringing his arms to her side unhooking the white straps on her heavy vest. She closed her eyes and smiled as he undid the other side then lifted it over her head setting it at her feet.

Moving her hair untying the head band and dropped it to the other side of her with a clank. Slowly and carefully with the softest hands she had ever felt did Sasuke lift her chin meeting his equally soft cold lips. She wanted to melt into his skin, this new touch; this longing feeling was like his emotions ran through her as her own. He moved from her lips kissing the corners the to her jaw line slowly and diligently breaking off at the end breathing down her skin raising goose bumps all along her skin.

Sasuke lowered his hands to the wire netted mesh shirt carefully lifting it over her head then tossed that like it wasn't important. With that she reached for slowly like he had and pushed his open shirt off of his shoulders. Her skin was like fire across his cold skin as she drew them lightly over his chest over his heart.

He closed his eyes taking a shallow breath before opening them again removing her belt from the loops and set it to the side reaching lower he unwrapped the binding with her weapons and let them fall as well as any other binding she would have hand on the outside. Moving back to her back undershirt he pulled it off slowly again tossing that to the side with the missing mesh shirting.

He reached forward again undoing the edge where her binding started and unwrapped it rolling it back up as he went which was painfully slow even for him, but he continued enjoying her soft face as her green eyes closed her pouty lips parted as soft breaths exited between them. He released the end setting the binding on the shelf behind her and kissed her neck from where he had stopped before to the base of her shoulder running his hand up her arms around her shoulders up the sides of her neck into her hair breathing in her scent she exhaled pulling him closer burrowing her face into his shoulder clinging to him with need and love.

"I want to have children too…" He whispered in her ear so softly she almost missed it. Moved away slightly and pulled his face from her neck.

"Just because I said that, I wasn't trying to put that on you…" She said softly he kissed her softly turning her walking backwards towards the bed.

"When have I ever been or listened to people who tell me what to do?" he asked with a grin. She smiled as he lowered her to the soft bed.

"I guess your right…"

When morning came around Sasuke woke alone with a note beside him.

I had to leave early something came up on the missing organs I am in the library, something is really starting to bother me about this whole case…

Love always,

Sakura

He sighed and looked over at the clock and got out of bed rubbing his chest feeling the claw mark from Sakura last night and smiled getting up and got dressed. It was time he was to return to Oro. With his latest injuries healed Oro would be expecting him to return with what he had set out to get one final thing for Oro before the day where he wouldn't be alone in his body. He was hoping Sakura would know when it was time other wise…he wasn't sure if he would be okay the longer he shared.

(This short I am sorry really I thought it would be longer then this but it was kind of a filler chapter so I guess nothing to bad ha ha yeah well sorry for this taking me longer then it should have!)
