Two nights later Sasuke found himself alone in the library with Sakura. The rest of the house had gone to bed, but Sakura insisted on staying up to read. Which suited Sasuke, who'd been an insomniac most of his life.
"I can't stand it any longer." Sakura slammed her book shut. "I need to go outside. Please, Sasuke." Her deep green eyes pleaded with him.
Sasuke swallowed around the lump in his throat. Fresh air might be a good idea, he thought.
With a curt nod of consent from him, Sakura smiled beautifully. She headed to the front door, slipped on her long, red cloak and carefully opened the door. Sasuke watched her walk down the steps as he pulled his cloak on, she reached the bottom and turned to look at him; her eyes were shinning.
Sasuke quietly pulled the door closed, following a few feet behind Sakura as she walked through the densely wooded forest.
They stopped at a small creek that was frozen over. Sakura settled on a large rock, wrapping her cloak around her legs. Sasuke remained standing, eyes scanning the open area.
Silence filled the night. Sakura stared at the sky. Sasuke stared at Sakura. He tried several times to force his head away, but his eyes returned to the young woman each time.
Suddenly, she turned to look at him. Neither spoke, neither looked away. Sakura couldn't see his eyes, but she felt the longing there. She knew it wasn't just on her part.
"Sasuke." Her whispered plea was all he needed, in three long strides he was in front of her.
"Close your eyes." She did as his raspy voice asked.
Sasuke wasted no time pulling his mask off and kissing her waiting lips. Everything about this kiss was passionate. Sasuke lifted Sakura up, their tongues battling, he carried her a few steps until her back was pressed against a tree.
Sakura's hands roamed from his thick hair down to his solid chest. Sasuke groaned, pushing her harder against the tree, his right hand toying with the hem of her top inside her cloak.
With one swift move he slid his hand up to cup her soft breast. Sakura pulled from the kiss with a gasp.
"Not here. Please…my room." She panted out.
Sasuke growled, pulling his hand back. He gripped her under butt, lifted her tightly to him and whispered "Hold on." He transported them back to Sakura's room.
"Don't move. Keep them closed." He gently touched her long eye lases.
She heard him move to her closet the return. She let out a breath of air when she felt him place soft material over her eyes and knot it behind her head.
"It's the only way." He said as an apology.
Sakura smiled, "I know." She slid her cloak off, walking backwards a few steps to her bed.
Sasuke moved after her, pulling his cloak and shirt off. He stopped in front of her, gently running his fingers along her sides until he reached the hem of her top. Swiftly he pulled it over her head, then skimmed his fingers along her flat stomach to her smooth back.
Sasuke leaned down to kiss her as he unhooked her bra, they both let it fall down her arms, then he pulled her against his bare chest.
Sakura let out a small moan, her fingers explored his well-defined chest and abs. She longed to see what her fingers were discovering, but found that her sense of feel was just as sexual.
Without breaking their kiss, they removed the rest of their clothing. Sasuke gently lifted Sakura to the center of her bed where he leaned over her. His fingers found her center, he groaned when he realized how wet she was for him.
"Are you certain you want this?" He hoarsely whispered.
"Positive Sasuke." She smiled, pulling him down to kiss her. She wrapped her right leg around him for further encouragement. With a growl, Sasuke fully pushed into her.
His eyes shut, his breath was ripped from his lungs. He felt nothing but immense pleasure. After a moment he opened his eyes to look down at Sakura. She was biting her lip, cheeks fully stained pink.
'Beautiful.' He thought. "I'm sorry." He said.
"Don't be. I'm not." Sakura adjusted her hips, making Sasuke hiss, gripping her legs.
"I want you to move, Sasuke." She smiled.
Sasuke pressed his forehead to hers and did as she asked. They moved together until they reached that blissful moment.

Hours later, they were laying with Sakura resting partially on Sasuke's chest, her blindfold still in place.
"Can I…can I touch your face?"
Sasuke smirked, pulling her hand to his cheek. Softly Sakura explore what she'd never seen. His jaw was well-defined, smooth lips, she even skimmed along his soft eye lashes.
"I picture you as incredibly handsome." She laughed quietly.
"That's what they tell me."
"A joke! Well you do have a sense of humor after all." Sakura playfully nudged his side.
Sasuke released a grunt, pulling the younger woman on top of himself. They were silent for a long while before Sasuke said, "You are very beautiful, Sakura."
Sakura choked back a sob. She longed to tell him that she loved him, but she knew he'd be leaving in a few days and she doubted she'd ever see him again.
Instead of replying she lifted herself up and slowly lowered down on his hard manhood, trying to express everything she felt through her movements.
She didn't know if he understood.

The next three days passed far too quickly, Sakura thought as she stood looking out the large windows of her room. Sasuke was in the shower, preparing for his journey home.
He was leaving. She shouldn't have been so hurt by that, she'd known all along, yet she felt a crushing weight on her chest each time she thought about saying goodbye.
Hanan had asked about that yesterday. They had all decided to venture outside for a bit. After on hour Karin and the twins headed back inside with Neji following. Shisui stayed out with Sasuke.
"Are you going to miss us?" Hanan asked as the eldest Ninja swung her with one arm over a pile of snow.
"Well of course we will. Though, only you and Sakura." Shisui put a finger to his lips, "But don't tell your other sisters that."
Hanan giggled, running to Sasuke with the same question.
"Hai." He nodded down to her, then looked towards Sakura who was a few feet away, next the small creek.
Shisui swooped Hanan up to his broad shoulders, giving his cousin a knowing look behind his mask.
"Who do you think Sasuke will miss the most, Hanan?" Shisui teased.
The young girl smiled, "Sakura, of course." She said proudly.
"Yes, I agree." Shisui moved in Sasuke's line of vision, "And, I think Sasuke is going to be miserable when he leaves."
Sasuke glared, about to move away until Hanan spoke. "Sakura will be too, I think." She said sadly.
"Sakura will be what?" Said girl walked over to the three.
"Hn. Nothing." Sasuke said firmly.
"I said you'll be sad when the ninja leave." Hanan smiled.
Sakura looked up at her sister, who was still perched on Shisui's shoulders.
"Will you miss them?" Sakura avoided looking at Sasuke when she turned the question back around to her younger sister.
"Yes! It's like having a big brother finally!" Hanan hugged Shisui's head. "Did you want a big brother ever, Sakura?"
Sakura laughed, "Sure." She replied easily.
"Hopefully Sakura doesn't think of Sasuke like a brother. Might make things a little awkward." Shisui laughed when Sakura blushed and Sasuke threw a snowball his way.
Sakura smiled, now, as she remembered Shisui teasing Sasuke the rest of the walk back to the house. Her smile turned sad as she leaned her head against the cold glass window.
The bathroom door opened to reveal Sasuke, dressed only in his pants and mask. The sight of his bare torso made her stomach dip. Sakura had lost count how many times they'd made love since that first time, three nights ago.
Sakura now knew every inch of his strong frame, all but his face. Which was suddenly so heartbreaking, she wanted to laugh.
"Tell me." Sasuke walked up to her, wrapping his arms around her. He seemed to read her every expression now.
"I was just thinking about yesterday." She explained.
"You never answered your sister's question." He replied.
"I think the answer is obvious, Sasuke." Sakura pushed away from his grasp, walking to her closet. She pulled on a black tunic dress, then slipped on black knee high socks and tall boots. She looked up to see Sasuke watching her.
"How do you feel about me?" He asked quietly.
Tears stung Sakura's eyes. "Why does it matter?"
"Sakura." He growled, moving to lift her chin up to him.
"You're leaving, Sasuke. Going back to your village and I'll stay here until the right man shows up to marry me, then I'll be carted off to who knows where. So why does it matter how I feel?" She hadn't realized she raised her voice until she stopped speaking.
Sasuke continued to stare, which only infuriated Sakura. Her green eyes sparked with too many emotions to name.
"Sakura." He said again. The younger woman pushed his hand away with a frustrated gasp.
"Do you want me to tell you I love you?" She stormed from her large closet. "I love you, Sasuke. I love you more than I can say! But it doesn't matter."
She sat down on the edge of her bed, defeated. "We need to forget each other."
Anger simmered inside Sasuke. "You plan to forget me?" He hissed out. "Will you forget the way I touched you? The places I've tasted you?"
He was on her so quickly, Sakura didn't have time to blink.
"Will you forget the way it feels when we are near each other? When I'm inside you?"
"I don't even know what you look like!" She finally blurted. Sakura regretted it instantly. She knew it didn't matter what he looked like, it didn't matter what his last name was. She had fallen in love with the man he was.
But her words were out and they affected Sasuke immediately. He pulled away from her, looking long and hard through his mask.
"You're right." Sasuke finally said. He walked over to his pack, pulled on the rest of his clothing and moved to the staircase.
"How can you love a man you've never seen?" He whispered just loud enough for her to hear. Sakura sat up from the bed, spinning to face the stairs, but he was gone.
She stood there for what felt like hours until she heard their heavy front door close. She ran to the window in time to see the three ninja disappear into the trees.
Sakura knelt down, her tears flowing freely, her heart shattered.
