A Sense Of Relief

Suigetsu and Jugo were now strolling across the hills towards the land of stone. He gulped down water from the bottle, even though his ability was to turn into a liquid that did not mean he was devoid of thirst. Just like a normal human, he also has natural urges of hunger and excretion. "What do you think Sasuke is up to, Juugo?"

Juugo was feeding bits of bread to one of the birds on his shoulder, "I assume Sasuke must be searching for answers about his clan." Suigetsu considered his answer. "Really?" he put his arms behind his shoulders. He snickered. "That guy is hell of a bore. I bet he has already found them by threatening some guys by his scary sharingan. What a show off!" he then looked at Juugo who looked nonetheless serene, But a bit startled by his behavior. "If he doesn't, I would sell my sword to the highest bidder!" Juugo sweat dropped. He would even sell his precious sword if Sasuke never use his clan's kekkeigenkei to obtain information, is it? That does seem highly impossible. He thought.

Sasuke was motionless, What am I doing?, at that moment, Madara disappeared. He was holding the sword where its edge was stuck next to the female pink haired nin. "Sasukekun" Sakura spoke, "why didn't you use it?" her emerald eyes looked sentimentally toward him.

"shut up." He told quietly, but it was not out of anger, but out of vanquish. Sakura cried, "you are just lying to yourself sasukekun." She ran away from the small opening. But he caught her hand. She looked at him, her tears stung on her face, he caught me. "A clone." he smirked, As she disappeared in smoke. "As if I would waste my chakra on a mere clone, Not bad. sakura." He told, shoving the sword on his pouch. He shot his arms, in which long slithery snakes shot out. They plowed inside the ground. At once, they brought out the angry kunoichi who was trying to grab the slippery creatures. But they twisted themselves around both her knuckles and feet so she could not attack or escape. She gritted her teeth, as she looked at Sasuke. He glanced at her with bit of fascination.

She blushed angrily, and then stopped fighting her way out as the creatures brought her towards him. he held a cocky grin, "you can't hide now sakura," his face was now close to hers, she was speechless, as she was lost in his eyes, his dark eyes was filled with lust for ambition. He looked at her stunned expression, sakura, prepare yourself, Because I am. "success truly tastes sweet" he flicked his tongue towards sakura's face. She widened her eyes. He licked his tongue on her lips. For a moment, sakura was too embarrassed to move, but then she realized, her whole body was binded by the snakes which came out of sasuke's hands. Sakura instantly felt seduced by his touch, his tongue's trail on her lips made her body shiver. And then her mind went on guard, oh no. he must have placed venom on my mouth! she instantly tried to test the theory, she tasted it. No. it certainly did not taste anything extraordinary or poisonous.

Sasuke was meanwhile staring at sakura, but his eyes looked heavy, like hers at that moment. "Sasukekun" she managed to speak. I am too suspicious of him, I am the one at fault here, she thought. Sasuke kun would not go that far. "I am sor-" but he did not let her finish, he quickly placed his lips on hers, at once, she felt a bomb shell erupt inside her whole body. She closed her eyes as she felt his tongue playing with hers. She was now red as a pepper. Is this really? Sasukekun…sasukekun.. He is kiss...He is kiss... Her mind felt empty for words. He placed one of his hands behind her back, the other grabbed her hair, It might have felt like a force kiss at first, but she soon gave in and reciprocated the kiss, he opened his eyes as he felt her lips nibble on his lower lip, he slowly surrendered as he finally closed away the snakes inside.

As he kissed her, Sasuke felt the unknowing attraction he felt for the pink haired ninja, After the kiss she gave him inside the cave, he blindly realized he wanted to taste it again, and as he kissed her, he knew it, it was like nothing he ever felt before. His first kiss was with Naruto, it was an accident and it was too much of a horrid and unpleasant incident that he dared to think about now.

Between kisses, they broke the kiss for fresh air, to breathe, but after a minute, sakura jumped on him, holding both her arms on his shoulders, and planted her lips on his. No way, no way am I letting go of this moment, she told herself, it had been four years, she waited and waited, to see him, to hold him, and her longing to be with him. I have to remember this moment, because this is something I wanted.

"I love you sasuke kun," she cried in between kisses. His ears shot at her words, I love you sasuke kun. The words repeated itself in his mind like an echo, but the difference was, with each repetition, it sounded more and more lucid than the next. She still felt this attraction to him, he tried to shake away the thought, he then remembered the night where he left her on the bench, it was as if he saw his childhood self four years ago. He was looking at the shorter version of himself, he was feeling distraught of leaving her, he blinked, and heard those words the younger version of himself speak, "I love you too sakura" and then left her and the village without a second glance. Mean while the older sasuke looked back at him and the unconscious sakura with stunned silence, no. this has to be a dream, he had qualms about how he felt about her, to think that he loved the pink haired kunoichi when they were young, it seemed all too confusing to him.

She was right, he did push away his childhood memories. He ignored them. Because he believed that it was worthless. Future was what counted.

Sakura finally felt a sense of relief and happiness as she laid beside him, it was as if all the tears and depression she fought through those years were all nothing but emptiness, slowly darkness enveloped her visual, and she felt drunken with sleep.

Sasuke stood up from the ground slowly, he then looked back at the sleeping nin, and tried to recollect what had happened, it all seemed like a huge apparition to him. but he knew what happened. As clear as day, he stood up, he found out his answer, he had put her in tsukyeomi during their embrace. She had answered his questions without resist. Surprisingly she wasn't much affected by the jutsu, if she did, she did not show it. I had to conquer the five sins of this world to master the sharingan. He thought, as he remembered her explanation. He smirked, as he felt a sense of over power. Then he studied his palm.

There are no shortcuts to power. But I can find it in my own path without turning. He then felt a bit guilty, as he had to leave sakura once again. He knew she was going to be distressed over him deserting her. It was not like he wanted to do it, but he had other goals and unfinished business that he had to end. He then sighed. And gave her something he never ever gave to any one in his life after his massacre; A Genuine Smile.

Sakura ran at top speed towards the path she thought he took, how could he? Why? Why did he leave me again? She cried, she knew what had happened before she fell asleep. He had placed her in his genjutsu. But she did not care. She gave the information on her own free will. I trust him. she thought. She was now in full panic at the thought of not seeing sasuke again.

At that moment, she saw naruto's bunshin running toward her direction, he looked relieved to see her.

"Sakurachan, wow, Am I glad that you were okay! Where were you all this time?"

but she gave him a hard push, but it was not out of anger, she was grateful that he had went all this way on searching for her, "WHA?!"at once the bunshin disappeared .she knew Naruto and Shizune and the others would be worried of her disappearance, but for now. That was the least of her worries. For now, she simply wanted to be alone. She wanted to let go of her suffering alone. It made her feel better that way, as she breathed the fresh air and felt the coolness surrounding her, she finally felt a sense of happiness. He will come back, someday. Sasuke kun will comeback. She smiled, as she ran her way towards the tent.

Okay. The next chapter would be Epilogue.

I am terrified of snakes.
