22. Love secrets - Tenten and Sakura combo

CHAPTER 21

Maybe there was a chance for the emerald enchanted woman to find her own paradise in the crumbling world surrounding her, trapped in the arms of the very man she first loathed, but couldn't imagine her life without anymore.

Funny how in the short amount of time they have spent together, Sakura has managed to see so many different faces of Sasuke, falling for each every one, accepting the raven haired man like part of her existence, successfully replacing solitude with faith.

The pink haired lady felt her heart rise in her chest, like moon shining above the grandiose peaks surrounding the pair in the confinement of their roof, sealing their tender caresses and whispers out of time, in the name of the eternal glory of devotion towards one another.

It was Sasuke`s lukewarm breath fanning on her small ear while the words flew from his low silky voice trapping the jadeite eyed lady in his arms in his spellbound, even though it was not actually a confession per se, but more of a hidden message meant for her, well aware of the fact that Sakura spoke the same language as him. It was their own unique way of understanding one another.

"I think this…is something I am going to remember." Was it possible for her glistening moist sparkling garnet eyes to nurture crystal drops of salty tears of contentment at the thought of the ravishing handsome dark eyed Uchiha someday sharing the same strong feelings as hers?

She let her eyelids cover the filled with happiness windows of her heart, enraptured by Sasuke`s unsteady heart beat and the feel of his hot body encompassing her much smaller frame, protectively, tenderly, with all the gentleness in the world, like she was a breakable porcelain doll that had to be maneuvered carefully.

Inwardly, Sasuke was taking much pleasure into the feel of his beautiful maid`s frame tremble in bliss at the deep meaning of his remark.

Of course he was well aware of the fact that she was not simply asking him for a translation, but her sharp mind has found a way to bait him into slipping the words she was so expecting to hear from him.

The onyx eyed amused Uchiha would have laughed at her naivety to play mind games with him, but she was no ordinary lady in his life. That was Sakura and he valued her more than he was willing to admit out loud.

Not only his pulse was running high and the feel of her soft skin under his touch flooding him with resplendent emotions and overwhelming feelings straight from her heart and mirrored in the pair of precious jadeite gems he secretly dreamed of and longed to see every day, but he was able to see another way of the corrupt society he was living in and disgusted him to no end.

"Aren`t you a little bit exclusivist?" Sasuke resumed in covering the creamy floral scented skin of his maid`s neck and shoulders in kisses, encircling her delicate curvaceous body with his strong arms, gluing her to his hard rock frame, not accepting any distance in between them.

"Why would you say such things?" Sakura bit the inside of her cheek to stop a moan in delight to escape her throat at the feel of the young heir`s soft lips brushing and biting the supple skin, covering her in his hungry touches, increasing the level of electric jolts running down her body, mixing with the tickling sensation she felt, getting difficult for the young agent to keep her head in place, letting him taste every cell of her body.

"Because you seem uninterested by the other phrases." Silently, the young Uchiha heir was cursing the fact that he gave his jacket to the gorgeous lady, because he couldn't reveal much of her absolutely delicious skin for his mouth to roam on, but he solved the problem with a swift movement of his left hand, pulling the zipper down and slipping the large T-Shirt she was wearing down her arm, revealing her graceful perfect shaped shoulder.

"It is not the fact that I am not curious about learning more. Is just because there are certain things that pique my interest."

Sakura had no attempt to stop him whatsoever, even if the cool breeze was making the hair rise on her arms feeling slightly cold, because soon her all body burst in flames at the feel of his slick tongue expertly rolling over the rounded bone, up to her collar bone, as far as he could reach, a surge of sparkling energy matter washing through her in a flash, causing her body to tremble under his touches, titling her head involuntary and slightly raising her shoulders to limit his access, not quite being able to take more of the tickling pinches enveloping her senses.

Not that the pink haired assassin really minded her boss` caressing her, but her extremely turned on body started to react to his ministrations and the soggy feel of her damped core and her inner walls contracting rhythmically was a good proof of the fact that she was expecting him to give her more and she started to get an idea of exactly what.

She got the answer the previous day when he was pleasuring her against the wall, he too aware of their needs.

"Don't." Sasuke let his palm trace the fine contour of her jaw line, cupping her cheek and raise her face towards him, crashing his smoldering jet black pearl eyes with the beaming forest green ones, letting himself get lost at the feel of the sparkling emotions poured into the amazing amalgam of pure gold and viridian, flicking the tip of his nose on her smaller delicate one, rubbing gently just to tease her more.

The Uchiha heir was well aware of the effect he had upon her, but there was no one to witness their passionate moment, besides the rocky solitary cliffs, the clear sky and God when he angled his head and let their lips connect, stealing another welcomed kiss from the beautiful young woman, who graced his manly ego with a soft feminine moan when he slipped past her savory wild cherries flavored parted lips, pushing his own lips forward slightly applying a bit of muscle tension around them and let his tongue slide inside her expecting mouth, resting on her own, stroking her in swift motions, then pulling back to let her do the same.

Sakura absolutely couldn't get enough of sharing kisses with the handsome man in the middle of the raw nature, drunk of his fire and ocean amazing scent, blended with the burnt cedar and fir trees scent, making the chemistry between them sparkle with intensity, urging the movements of their lip lock, growing more passionate as their bodies grew even hotter.

It was in the moment the breathless rosette broke their contact, inhaling sharply to provide her lungs the vital oxygen did she realize just how far from their maid and boss relationship the two of them were in that moment and it has been almost a month since they first met.

But it was overwhelming just how much she craved for the onyx panting eyed Uchiha`s touches and sensual whispers secluded on her lips, present in every passionate kisses of his, the feeling of them being so close in mind and body was making her tremble in need. Need for him. For everything he was.

It has been a long time since Sasuke has kept his onyx eyed shut during sharing a kiss with someone, and that was the proof he needed to confirm that his racing heart and running on fire pulse were not a normal reaction of his body at the contact with a gorgeous looking woman, glued to him.

The intensity of the moment and the taste of her succulent lips moving untamed on his own were making the young heir to let his eyelids rest over his jet bottomless eyes, letting his other senses to perceive the pink haired beauty with every fiber, under his expert touches.

Yes, in his mind, the raven haired man was not making the necessary connections between the words Sakura and maid, for she was never his servant to begin with. She was everything he was entitled to possess, his lady, the woman that had made him feel something he thought was not possible for a man like him: jealousy and rage at the thought of her trapped in the embrace of someone else that was not him.

"What…other things have piqued your interest, Sakura?"

The fact that an unpolished lady has almost left a pro like him breathless, was speaking volumes at the amount of emotions poured in the contact between them and it was the emerald eyed woman`s visible to the point of palpable strong emotions for him, inflicted to every caress of her lips on his mouth.

A shifting motion of her body, successfully turning around and let her small curvy frame rest on her knees, in between Sasuke`s parted bent knees, brought Sakura face to face to the man she lusted for, sneaking her hands behind his neck, lowering his head towards her, their foreheads touching.

His muscled arms wasted no time in encircling her gracefully shaped waist, embracing her.

From the moment they came on the top of cliff, the rosy haired agent didn't remember spending a millisecond apart of the hard rock body of her boss, getting more and more accustomed to the feel of him, getting her addicted.

"Many things I cannot begin to voice…" Indeed, how could she have told him the fact that she was there to act as his guardian, but the moment she allowed emotions to set in between them she has gone against her own rules.

But sin has never been as sweet as in that moment. Sakura was not on the top of the mountain. She felt at the top of the world.

As long as she had Sasuke beside her, she could have done everything. Naruto has been right.

The burst of power she felt blooming inside her soul was the solid evidence of the sexy male`s holding her ability to gave her what the others could have not. Another sort of emotion and connection. Deeper. Stronger. Intense. Intimate. And it felt like Heaven has opened the gates for her to walk in.

"Then how about showing me instead? You are way more honest in your movements than words."

Of course Sasuke couldn't help himself to make his thoughts about her hidden life known to her, but he was not a stupid man, nor someone one would have a chance to play with. He was indulging in her charms just because he wanted to do so, not because she was pressuring him in any ways.

She had secrets around her identity all right, but his instincts…and the annoying never ending voice in his head was urging him to believe her honest heart and the fact that no harm was going to expect him at the end of the waterfall if he placed his trust on her.

Sakura felt a sharp pain through her heart upon hearing the words she knew they held so much truth behind them, but that was something she couldn't deny because in the most ironic way of life, everyone around Sasuke has been lying to him about who they were and those were supposed to be their closest ones: his brother, his friends, she…

The Sound agent placed a quick chaste kiss upon his lips, him returning the affectionate display instantly.

A quick glance at his unbelievable coal eyes surprised the young girl with the fact that even though he felt the need to remind her he was well aware of the things going on around him, his gaze was not a reproaching one; on the contrary it held some level of tolerance and acceptance.

"In this very moment…I am hundred percent honest with you." Sasuke didn't need to hear the words leaving her mouth, for he was able to read everything in the jadeite eyes darkened with longing and honesty when he brushed some fallen strands of the unique dyed pink hair from her face, not wanting to have any barrier between her angelic figure and his hungry eyes.

There were secrets in the world that people sometimes couldn't or were not allowed to disclose, even to the people they loved and he and Sakura were just like that. She was having her own things to hide just like him.

Of course he was intrigued by her secret life but how could he have been that hypocrite to press her into revealing everything when he himself couldn't have been completely honest with her.

"Then how about when we go back? Are you going to be sincere then as well?" The raven haired Uchiha has seen an apologetically emotion flicking through the deep shining eyes of hers that silently told him she was not going to reveal more, but assured him of the fact that what she was feeling was genuine.

It was right. He simply didn't care anymore, moreover he was accepting it…her. With everything she had to offer, even her secrets, he wanted all of her, not just bits and that was exactly why he was that bothered of her decision to keep everything secluded from the curious eyes. How can he have her when he didn't know her to begin with?

Although…he gave her his consent to stay and to say whatever she wanted…just like he allowed her to kiss him or play with his hair.

Apparently she found it delectable for she was twirling longer strands of his raven midnight locks on her fingers and massaged his scalp in a relaxing manner. Maybe she should do it more often.

"In attitude or words?" Sakura didn't like where the conversation was heading and she was not even aware of how much time has passed since they were there, not that she cared anyways, but it was her guilty conscience speaking when she lowered her head almost in shame, not able to fix those all knowing endless coal eyes seeing right through her deception.

"Both. But what I am really interested in now…" Sasuke let his hand glide down her hip, fondling the delicate rounded bone, making the girl in his arms snuggle closer to him searching for more contact, titling his head and placed butterfly kisses on her cheek then down her chin, making Sakura lean into the touch, he skin trembling in pleasure. "…is not speaking."

"Then…are you going to delay the conversation until we arrive home?" Sasuke couldn't refrain to smirk at the slip of the words referring to his home, like they were a couple sharing the same house.

Their home…but that reminded him…what were they after all? A couple they were not, because no one muttered those words and he couldn't be seen with his maid in public…not that he actually gave a fuck about what people thought about him anyways.

Friends was out of questions. Sakura could befriend Naruto, even Suigetsu if she pleased for all he cared, but they have long crossed the amiability side like they were never meant to stay platonic.

The Uchiha heir has not forget about the memory he had from his dream with the two strangers in love and the resemblance with his life was striking and could not have been overlooked.

In a strange way, it was amusing him to no end the fact that he didn't even have a name for whatever relationship they had, but what he knew was the fact that he had feelings for her that were reciprocated by the woman trembling in his arms, shown in every small moan of pleasure that escaped her rosy lips.

But he realized it didn't matter anymore, because they were silently consenting to let things between them going with the flow to a destination unknown and that was better.

He was not a man for relationships so an eventual discussion about cheesy complicated things was bothering him, so Sakura being a pragmatic woman just like him was picture perfect.

"No." Speaking by rosy lips…For a reason he couldn't understand, the dark eyed Uchiha just couldn't get enough to kiss the beautiful lady that was holding him for dear life, aware of the fact that he made her feel bad with his questions materialized in her small hands fisting in his soft hair, halting her movements.

Sasuke removed his hands from her curvy toned body he came to enjoy so much feeling under his fingertips and place them both on the sides of her face, angling her head slightly and not wasting anymore seconds, crashed their lips together in an insatiable kiss, locking their mouths together, his movements rapid and passionate, applying hard pressure on the smooth silky glossy tissue of her lower lip, biting harshly, startling Sakura and forcing her to open her mouth wider for him to dart his tongue inside, all the time his hold on her preventing her to pull back.

The emerald startled woman felt her insides flame at the intensity and unleashed motions of her ravenous boss on hers, his urging lips sucking on her ones, biting and tracing them with his moist tongue made her knees turn into jelly, not able to support her body weight on her own or prevent louder sounds of delight to vibrate on her chest.

The way Sasuke was kissing her in that moment was just as unpredictable and mind blowing as every move he did and made the Sound agent let her long lashes rest on her darkened with lust forest green eyes, trying in vain to keep up with his fast peace.

The shining stars above them were projecting under her eyelashes in an explosion of supernovas and rainbows.

He absolutely swore he was going to respect her limits and listen to her body language signalizing him what she wanted or what she needed, but damn was the midnight haired Uchiha too turned on by the feel of that delectable woman and her amazing taste on his mouth to give a damn about morals in that moment.

Everything related to his maid tasted like sweetest pollen of a delicate cherry blossom flower, just like the very essence of Sakura and that got him over the edge with need and want for her, not quite able contain his movements when he shifted his body, slipped his hand over her spine and lowered them both on the rug of soft grass, lying on their sides, not once breaking the kiss.

Sakura felt like her boss has read her mind in the moment he decided to get more physical, because there was no way she couldn't have thought of to keeping up with his fast peace and keep her body steady, while small tremors were tingling her skin in euphoria, heating her insides.

As soon as she felt her back hit the muggy narrow leaves of the grass, the rosette let her head rest on Sasuke`s lean shoulder, moving her arm smoother and quickly on his broad chest, slipping on his back embracing him, absolutely content with how their bodies were glued perfectly to each other, while their lips were dancing together, tasting, exploring, getting crazy together.

The pink haired lady couldn't contain her small smile when realization that the handsome man absolutely enjoyed the taste of her lip balm made its way to her mind, because the way he was suckling on each lip in turn and trailing the plump luscious parted petals with rapid flicks of his tongue, then retracting for a moment to imprint the sweet aroma on his mouth was absolutely memorable. And the cocky bastard thought she has not realized what he was secretly doing.

"Why?" Sakura wanted to slap her head on the soft grassy cushion at the thought of her not actually remembering what were they talking about, her all senses focused on the hotness radiating from Sasuke`s toned body flaming her skin through the thin cotton material of her T-Shirt.

She wanted to let the other hand stray on his absolutely velvet soft raven hair she loved so much, but it was impossible from that position to do it, so she let her fingertips trail over his neck and shoulder blades as far as she was able to reach, the feel of his smooth skin under her graze clouding her senses.

Sasuke briefly broke the kiss, letting his head rest on his arm, his cheek brushing her small perfectly shaped one in the process. "Because if I have ever sensed the danger of being stabbed in the heart in my sleep by you, I would have never allowed you this close to me in the first place."

He trapped his maid`s pointed chin in between his thumb and index, arcing her head to let their heated stares meet amazed at the glimmering amount of feel she was letting him see, the amazing multitudes of verdant hues rivaling the nature around, enhancing her ladylike gentle features in the form of an angelic beauty. She was absolutely gorgeous, there was no point in denying it.

Sakura followed the lead of his long fingers, clashing her emerald eyes with his burning coal ones, amazed at the incredible shimmering shades of sapphire black enfolding in front of her, his penetrating bottomless orbs letting her know about the unspoken threat behind his words, made her feel a mixture of both fright and lust, the meaning behind his heated look obvious. He was no fool.

"Nonetheless, you let me lay beside you."

There was barely any distance left between their touching faces, their breaths hotly blending in a staccato rhythm, fanning over each other`s lips and that gave the pink haired lady lot of time to study the attractive male better, never too tired to awe at his perfect shaped angles and sharp masculine features.

Incredible how handsome that man could have been, so regal looking that one would have sworn he was nobility.

Well…his family name quite placed him in the category and the though of him being in her grasp, so intimately touching him was giving her the sensation of raising above the earth, defying gravity, intensifying the feeling of effervescent dragonflies zooming around down her spine.

The young Uchiha playfully eyed the woman in his arms ogling him like she was discovering his existence for the first time, vaguely aware of a gentle hand caressing his skin, partly closing his dark eyes to perceive her curious touch, aware of every thought that crossed her mind in that moment.

She had become more aware of what they were doing and who she was making out with and the tiny feel of her almost getting shy at the idea of feeling up such a prominent man like him was obvious in the lazy manner she didn't dare to let her palm descend more on his torso or place her lips back on his and he would have snorted at her obvious distress if he wasn't that turned on to begin with.

During the time they had gotten closer the young heir had no eyes for any woman and that automatically implied no physical contact whatsoever and his hormones were reacting wildly at her touches or mere closeness, that time stirred by feelings as well, getting harder to ignore the constricting feeling in lower regions, visible to the tight pants he wore. Damned the fact that she had to be a virgin and an appetizing one as well.

"Sakura…kiss me." And the way he cryptically whispered the obvious command upon her parted lips, tracing the tip of his tongue on the corner of her mouth, send electric jolts down the forest-green eyed woman`s muscles, his low manly voice knocking the air out of her chest.

She did exactly what he wanted, parting her silky rosy lips more and caging his tongue inside her mouth, kissing him with all she had, titling her head involuntarily in search for a better angle to deepen the contact, getting the grasp of the technique with each passing movement of her mouth on his, deep inside melting at the idea of being commanded by him in such a deliciously sinful way.

It was probably the way her boss skillfully and swiftly slipped a hand under her thin piece of cloth that hid the view of her beautiful body from the world`s eyes, stopping right on her well endowed chest, palming the obvious deep cleavage up and down, what determined Sakura to get over her eternal virgin thoughts, letting her intoxicated extremely aroused state to take over and dictate the following movements.

Using a little bit of her strength, the pink haired lady grabbed Sasuke`s shoulder and changed her center of mass successfully pushing the surprised man on the ground, laying on his back, she wasting no time in climbing at the top of him, with both her tights straddling his waist and her hands fisted on his broad shoulders, breaking their contact for a moment, hovering over him.

If Sasuke has been shocked at her bold move he was good at hiding it, because he simply let his coal eyes burn into her own slightly wide bathing in the excitement of her jadeite ones, a smirk making its way on his reddened lips almost like daring her to continue what she had in mind.

She could do to him anything she wanted for all that he cared, the fact that she decided to take her time and spicy their intense make out session more not bothering the raven haired Uchiha at all, on the contrary it almost made the beast in him growl in delight at her wild attitude, like a lioness straddling the pray before letting the animalistic instinct taking over.

There has only been a little problem in the form of the hot lady pressing her round firm ass right on his lower abdomen, millimeters apart of his throbbing member like the little vixen was doing her best to tease him more.

Not only have the onyx eyed heir had the urge to grip those full rounded buttocks of hers and give it a squeeze, but the way the hot woman had him pinned to the grass, inhaling sharply through her bruised parted soft lips, with her slightly damp hair covering her clouded eyes was a major turn on.

It has been quite a long time since the young heir has found a woman to be so naturally sensual and feminine in her gestures and contact, not quite believing he was almost tempted to let her dominate him, but the way the moonlight was reflecting into her brilliant garnet precious gemstones eyes was making it hard for him to let out any form of protest.

"Sasuke…I...want to be honest…" Sakura was absolutely shocked by her reaction, not quite understanding exactly what she was doing, but there was something about the man under her that was stirring some sort of inner id that knew exactly how to react to his voice or touches and take control over her movements, because normally she wouldn't have dared to pull out such a stunt.

It was funny how the smirking gorgeous man made not attempt to stop her and looked like he was expecting to see what she had prepared for him. Well he did make his thoughts known when he confessed he was not afraid of her. "..I…have no idea of what I am doing…but I cannot stop this."

The midnight haired man to let a small laugh to grace Sakura`s ears, while his chest rumbled at the loss of air pressure in the lungs, making Sakura`s own ribcage vibrate and add to the small tremors she already felt down her skin, was an impossible task upon hearing what she has told him, in the most innocent admission ever known.

How could she have been so pure, yet so enchanting at the same time was a mystery to Sasuke. Ineffable.

That was the proper way to portray the mystical creature that had him straddled. The killer combination between lust, innocence and transcendent, all trapped in the delicate body of his maid.

"And who exactly told you to stop? Because you sure haven't heard me utter such words."

There was something that ignited into Sakura`s heart at the sight of a carefree Uchiha heir letting out a small laugh, in the form of an energetic surge, making her blood boil in need for him.

Why was he hiding that part of his, because if she considered him to be handsome, that serene and playful look on his face made him tremendously divine.

Vaguely the pink haired girl realized her lips were slightly stinging at the prolonged contact and she felt a pinching pain on her lower one and the salty taste of a rivulet of blood told her they were probably forcing it, but that didn't stop her in the bit to nod once in understanding, lower her body until there was no distance left between them and literary crash her mouth onto his own pouring all her yearning for his touches in that ardent kiss she has given him.

Sasuke had his right hand fixed on her hip, trying to prevent her move too much on his aching sensitive region of his groin, and his left one went straight under the cotton fabric of the T-Shirt she was wearing and encircled her upper body, until it reached her flexed spine, skillfully unclasping the bra she was wearing, letting her full rounded breasts spread free of the bindings, sensing her bewilderment through her kiss, but she did nothing to protest.

Wasn't she the one that said she couldn't stop in the first place? Who said the young heir had any control left? And when he let his palm rest on her right chest, Sasuke truly felt he lost it for real.

Not only her curves were perfectly filled out, but the skin of the soft tissue, was made of silk, feeling amazing under his fingers, like she was made of sea foam when the waves crushed the rocky cliffs.

The raven haired Uchiha couldn't help but cup the rounded mound and give a light squeeze and encircle the rosy small bud with his index finger and rub its tip with his thumb, using feather like movements not to hurt her.

Her response was immediate, because he felt the smooth skin around the areola harden upon the contact and the long high pitched moans muffled by their kiss coming from Sakura let him know she did like what he was doing.

When she felt the handsome man`s hand expertly working its magic on her breast, Sakura lost her mind in pleasure. Never had the thought of asking him to stop hit her, because hell if she didn't want his movements to never cease.

An explosion of speeding electric jolts were waving down her body at the feel of him playing with her nipple, coming to a halt right in between the valley of her tights, in the most secluded area, making her arch her back and lean into his touch.

The pink haired maid swore she was going to murder his if he stopped pleasuring her, extremely aware of her hardened small bud and the painful constricting feeling she felt on her chest when he broke the contact to caress and lightly squeeze her breast, like a new born exploring his mother`s chest for the first time.

While her boss had the attention diverted to heir liplock and her full bosom, Sakura took the opportunity to slide her hands down his sides to the hem of his long sleeve black riding shirt, successfully removing it out of his pants.

It was only her vast acknowledge in the field that had the Sound agent in awe at the thought of the smooth lightweight worsted fabric covering her boss` body. "Sharkskin…this arrogant jerk…this shit is expensive as hell."

Not that she minded, because the way he looked like dress like that was the best aphrodisiac for her senses ever. No wonder everyone in the vicinity stopped in their tracks to stare at him, when he found her on the street.

Sasuke`s muscles stirred at the ideas crossing his mind in the moment he felt Sakura pulling at his shirt, but he got an answer of what her intentions were when he felt a pair of long thin hands moving sluggishly up and down his long torso, feeling him up. Of course…she couldn't help herself around him.

That brought him an unnecessary ego burst. And the amount of testosterone and adrenaline pumped through his veins, making blood accumulate in his painful erection, made it hard for him to keep up with her kissing him.

His lungs were burning, but he would have been dead before removing his mouth from hers. She was a fast learner indeed, her movements not that clumsy any longer, her strokes more precise.

She was getting the idea of how to synchronize with him and how to angle her head not to bump their noses together and that only let her tongue explore deeper, encircling his teeth or rubbing the top of his own, unconsciously breathing into his mouth, only urging his own movements more.

He raised the hand that was resting on her hip up her shoulders, embracing her and forcing her to lean more into his body, while the other hand was palming and tracing her round breast, burning the perfect curvy lines into his mind, twirling the petal soft rosy nipple with his long finger, giving his maid goose bumps all over her body.

Ever since she did that for the first time, Sakura couldn't wait to feel the lean muscles of Sasuke`s torso under her touch. He was amazingly sculpted and the way her fingers danced on his pectorals and down his eight packed abs, made the protruding fibers ripple deliciously, almost tempting her to stop kissing his sweet lips and have a taste of his body.

She was taking her time into exploring every part of him, quite bothered at the lack of light that darkened her vision, but the way his alabaster skin reflected into the moonlight rays was getting her even more turned on and that was already a submerging sensation, because it was really hard to contain her moans of delight under his own touches and her core was soaked with her inner juices, making her clench her tights around his waist more, the feeling of her throbbing inner walls getting the best of her.

The combination of his lips pressing on her, hungrily fighting her for dominance, his skilful touches on her chest and the feel of him growl manly whenever her digits slipped past his navel to relish into the feel of his V cut muscles was getting her insane.

She was not that idiot. Her body was not betraying her. She wanted more from him and she started to get an idea of what exactly.

And that was precisely why, unable to deprive her hormones from the much needing release any longer, the pink haired lady raised her back to put a bit of distance between them and lowered her bottom right on the obvious bulge into Sasuke`s tight leather pants, with her core resting above his aroused member, taking both of them by surprise.

The sudden sensation of having a magnetic discharge through all her body, making every cell in her body quiver in bliss and cutting her air supply at the intensity upon the contact made Sakura break the heated kiss and let her chin rest on the junction between the raven haired man`s neck and shoulder, listening to the sound of his accelerating pulse, not believing how could it have been possible to feel such pure bliss with a single contact.

The Sound agent shut her eyes tiredly, panting heavily and almost missed the fact that her body, out of her own accord, made her arch her back and repeat the motion once again, almost like to make sure what she has felt has been real and her mind was not playing tricks on her.

A low almost whispered strangled moan escaping her parted lips were the best proof of the fact that it was not.

She felt her all muscles convulse, especially the ones from her tights and lower regions, the rush of blood pumped into her clenched inner walls made more sticky liquid flow through her burning passage, leaking from her core and damping her lacy lingerie. The feeling was absolutely amazing.

A strong grip of her buttocks prevented Sakura from moving once again, the sound of Sasuke`s own harsh breathing fanning her neck reminded her where she was and what exactly was she doing. But she couldn't help it, she wanted it and she wanted him.

"Sakura…I know what you want…and I know where this is going but…"

The moment his maid crashed her lower body on his painful throbbing shaft, Sasuke thought he has been hit by lightning, because his body burst into flames at the unexpected contact, making blood to rush down his navel, resting on his groin, taking every self control he had to not switch positions and have her right under the night sky, with Gods as witnesses.

"….stop…tell me to stop Sasuke…" Maybe she was possessed by some perverted demon but there was no way Sakura would have stopped doing what they were doing, when she found out there were so many feelings to discover and she already wasted 23 years of her life to do so.

Karin has been right. Anko as well. She has deprived herself from many things a woman enjoyed and she couldn't have found a better moment to let herself succumb to the darkness. Not when she had Sasuke Uchiha breathless under her body, driving her crazy.

She raised her head to look into his partly open black beryl eyes, her overwhelming desire for more piercing through his long dark eyelashes right to his irises, searching for whatever hesitation there was in his words.

He eyed her for a brief, his lips wide open inhaling the much needed oxygen, his ribcage going up and down, not saying a word. What was there for him to say when damn right he wanted her just as she wanted him.

"Do you want to?" Sakura didn't even falter in her answer, her sparkling emerald eyes speaking from the bottom of her most secluded desires, letting all of them loose, telling the charcoal eyed man what he wanted to know.

"No."

"Then what do you want, Sakura?" Indeed, what did she expect from him at that point? They were not even in a relationship and the fact that they were sucking faces out of civilization was not quite an answer to the unsolved mystery.

But the pink haired agent couldn't help but think if they did need more words to understand each other. Maybe Sasuke was right and she should let actions speak for herself.

He already acknowledge her presence into his life and he was the first to initiate a contact between them, so maybe she should not dwell much on the matter and enjoy the flow of things.

Her cheeks turned into a beautiful shade or reed that went unnoticed by Sasuke because of the darkness outside, upon openly admitting without any inhibition what she really expected from him in that moment, not quite believing what indecent things could have come out of her mouth, before she could have stopped herself.

"…I want to have the taste of you."

/I want to have the taste of you/

And that did it for Sasuke, because in the moment his mind made the connection with the painfully familiar sentence echoing into his mind, his vision clouded and the electrical discharge down his own spine urged him to pull her back to him and dart his head to her chest and with a swift motion that didn't gave her anytime to react, took her rosy nipple in between his lips, suckling ravenously on it, while gluing their bodies together.

If she did not want to stop, then Sasuke would not do it either, all that his mind could perceive at that moment was the divine sugary taste of her breast, how amazingly cashmere like her milky skin truly was and how good did it felt to have her melt into his touch, because as soon as he gently bit the tender small perked bud, the woman in his arms threw her head back and left a small cry in delight, gripping his shoulder for support and clenched her fingers through his raven locks, arching her back and push her full chest more into his mouth.

"Aaahhhhh…"

In his mind, the scene started to look painfully alike the flashback he had with the two ancient people making love, but the young heir was too busy in eating his maid alive, covering her in his caresses and heated touches and when she started to grind her butt on his bulge he felt like floating through the space, lightheaded.

The fact that they were still in a public place meant less than nothing to Sakura when she felt Sasuke`s moist lips flicking over her nipple, suckling, biting and leaving hot trails of saliva all over the supple skin of her rounded breast, delicately fondling its base all around the bouncing mound, going to the deep cleavage, then coming back, using his available hand to bent her body more onto his mouth and give the other breast the same treatment, making the hair on her arms rise and her toes to curl in pleasure.

And the pink haired maid could not stop herself from ground her body down his pelvis in need for more of the irresistible sensation the friction between her soaked core and his obvious arousal making her vision blur and head to shut down.

It was too much to handle his mouth sending delightful shudders down her spine and arms and the fluttering butterflies in her stomach went on rampage, making her feel tremors in every pore of her skin, the sensation hypnotic.

Never in her life did Sakura felt bliss to such an intensity and the fact that they were outside where anyone could have suddenly appear and see their passionate moment, made adrenaline rise to an impossibly level. It was sinful and dark and she could not get enough of that.

Her own hands were flying over his exposed chiseled torso, grazing the unblemished ivory skin, not having enough of the feel of his velvety skin under her fingertips and the perfectly carved angular rip muscles trembling and constricting every time she left nail scratches down his chest, when his own touches got wilder or she got hit by another wave of sudden pleasure. The Sound agent was greeted with low groans leaving her boss` throat, signalizing her he too found much contentment at their contact.

Sakura swore she even forgot how to breathe, if not for the fact that it was getting harder and harder for her to inhale properly, panting madly.

The emerald eyed woman let her cheek rest on the top of the onyx eyed Uchiha`s head, not believing just how soft those impossibly midnight locks truly were and not only was it tingling her face, but his shampoo smelt amazing as well.

Content with all the bit marks he left all along her chest, Sasuke replaced his mouth with his left hand, cupping the rounded full breast, massaging the supple tissue, applying a bit of pressure with his fingers, fondling her, while he focused his attention back on her collarbone, planting chaste butterfly sweet kisses on her shoulder blades, going up her neck and sucking at her pulse greedily, drunk in her floral scent, mixed with rivers of sweat and her own unique womanly fragrance that sent his hormones to cloud nine.

And he could even feel her hot blood pulsating in her veins through his lips stirring the demon inside him even more. She was as gracious as a swan, every part of her rivaling the delicate bird in the perfection of moves and curves. "Soft as silk and sugary like nectar..."

/Soft as silk and sugary like nectar/

The raven haired Uchiha pulled his head apart of Sakura`s body, slipping his hand up her back to the base of her neck and brought her face down on his level, capturing her plump rosy lips with his own, kissing her, feeling the woman tilt her head to mold their faces together better.

But it was in the moment he felt her palm glide down his tight the alarm in his head started to ring.

They were getting dangerously far and one of them had to stop. As much as he did not want her to stop, Sasuke swiftly caught her wrist, stopping her to advance further, breaking their lip lock in the process as well, breathless.

"Sakura…Not here…not like this."

He has seen confusion washing through the foggy golden irises that clashed with his widened black pearl eyes at his action, but he placed another chaste kiss on her parted lips to assure her it was not the fact that he did not want her to be his, but the inappropriate place and moment to do so. She nodded once, catching his meaning.

"…I…am sorry…"

"This…is something I do not want to hear from you."

"…I crossed the line…I should not have…" Sakura lowered her stare, trying in vain to catch her breath and gain control over her senses.

Her muscles were clenching in her body and she was worn out. Was he rejecting her? Has she done something wrong? She let her body do the speaking and it was him she craved for.

"I want you, but this is not the moment to have you."

Sasuke was well aware of her internal turmoil, probably asking herself if there was something wrong in her behavior, but he traced her bruised lips with his thumb assuring her she should wait, because it was too early…for her.

Because he would have had zero problems in taking both of them to bliss right there and then.

But a woman like Sakura didn't deserve to be treated like they were peasants in the middle of the field, going at it like rabbits.

During his life, the raven haired man had his steamy adventures with different women, doing it in all the imaginable places, like cemeteries (yeah, Goth girls were hot), top roofs, yards, forests, public toilets, elevators or his secretary`s office (he was not that dumb to do it in his office). But he will respect the lady in his arms.

Probably her boss was not aware of the effect his confession had on her throbbing heart, but Sakura felt a surge of happiness at the thought of her handsome boss not rejecting her, on the contrary, stating he wanted her in the most sincere way possible. She knew he was right. That was not the way things should proceed.

"I know…"

Sasuke gave her a small smirk, making her blush. "If you were to resume to what we were doing before, I think you should have said wakatteru yo."

Sakura could not help herself, but giggle at his way of dealing with things. "Ok…then…wakatteru yo, Sasuke."

There was something in the way she has let the words slip past her lips, talking in his mother language, or her bright musical feminine laughter sounding like a bell that made Sasuke`s heart skip a beat, an unknown warm powerful emotion radiating from the pit of his soul.

Something about her…she was doing that to him whenever her innocence clashed with the wicked world surrounding him and it was amazing.

"You said you will find it difficult to remember."

"That was something simple." The pink haired maid pursed her lips, putting her index finger down her chin, in a thinking manner. "I wonder…should I add a suffix to your name as well? Like…Sasuke…kun?"

The said man was far too amused by her childish antics to frown at the hidden message between her question. That vixen was teasing him…

"Do not dare put me on the same level as dobe." Indeed, they were anything but friends, so why bother with such thoughts?

"Really? Then…how about…Sasuke…chan?"

It was in the moment the emerald eyed agent remembered the suffix was meant for women, Suigetsu`s words at how would he imagined her boss clad in a gown posing like a female crossed her mind, making her eyes fell on the charcoal eyed man`s uncovered chest, another laugh escaping her throat. Too damn funny.

Ok, has she just suggested he was looking like a woman or it was just the fact that she had no idea what she was talking about?

Sasuke was mentally planning how to silently kill his blonde friend for probably teaching her nonsense in the first place just to laugh at him. He was going to get beaten soon.

But…if she wanted to play, he was not to back away from the game. Plus talking to her distracted him for lusting to kiss her and touch her more.

He dropped his low baritone voice an octave, sounding dark and alluring. "If you feel like using honorifics with me…you could as well call me Sasuke-sama."

"…hm…it sounds a bit…flashy. What does it mean?"

"It means the person you are addressing to is higher in rank, or you greatly admire. And Japanese use it for deities as well, for example Kami-sama."

Sakura almost felt like punching the arrogant specimen that had the audacity to smirk at her childish pout, making her remove her hands from his torso and fold them in front of her chest. "You know what they say about people that tend to think so high of themselves?"

She was about to insult him with her next remark? Like the Sound agent did give a fuck. Let him be the smart jerk he was, she was going to pay him back. Although she still had troubles in keeping her hormones on a leash and not place another kiss upon his appetizing lips…

"What?" Sasuke almost sensed that his sharp maid was going to have a change in attitude at his obvious meaning, but it was not in his intention to place her under him, on the contrary, the raven haired Uchiha considered a lady like her ten times above him, not quite taking the money problem into account.

The fact that the world they lived in was lead by money and losers that worshipped them was laughable and pathetic. And she was so cute when angry, he could not help but provoke her further.

"That they are trying to compensate for other lacks…" And Sakura even raised her delicate eyebrow, winking suggestively at the stunned looking Uchiha.

Man his face was pure epicness and the way his eyebrows furrowed at the hidden meaning behind her words truly entertained her.

"Really? And you tend to believe what the others say Sakura? How about you see for yourself."

It that was someone else in his maid`s place, that person would have been on his knees, asking for forgiveness upon saying such insults, but what she said only made his mind go through all the methods he knew to demonstrate her just how much he didn't lacked.

And for that reason he pushed his pelvis up to meet her own that was straddling him, letting their lower regions grind to one another once more and let her feel just what exactly meant with his own remark. Sasuke was anything but small. It came with the good Uchiha genes.

Sakura suppressed a moan to escape her mouth, shutting her eyes for a brief at the feel of his hardened member poking in between her legs, almost regretting what she has said, because that movement of his only tempted her to repeat his actions.

"Ah…I…I will only call you Sasuke then." The Sound agent actually liked how his name sounded on her lips, finding it all too fitting for the handsome man. She should look for what it meant in Japanese.

"Hn."

"By the way, Suigetsu dropped by and brought the things we left at the swimming place." Sakura has almost forgotten about that. Almost, because she made sure she installed a tracking program into her boss` smart phone to make her job easier.

The only problem was her moped, but she was going to take that back…that night, when the midnight haired man was going to sleep.

"Good. I almost felt tempted to take the risk of being bitten by the chick that probably entertain him and take them back myself. Did he give you any trouble?"

The idea of his friend being alone with his maid didn't quite sound right to Sasuke. Naruto was ok because the dobe was a moron but a respectful one. The shark faced man on the other hand…

"No, we just made fun of you and found out about our secret identities, nothing to worry about…It was ok, he only returned the two bags and left, saying he had things to do…involving four decapitated men and no trace of the murderers…"

"…ok."

"Ah, did you have time to go to the Tokyo Police Station and ask for the stolen goods?"

Sakura already knew that police found absolutely nothing at the crime scene, but she played dumb to hear his answer. And it was quite the answer all right. Good thing it was dark outside and he was not able to see her puzzled reaction.

"Yes. I got them back."

"WHAT?! Sakura knew immediately what Sasuke told her was a blatant lie. He couldn't have taken his stolen goods back since police have found nothing to begin with. Then why wasn't he telling her the truth then?

To not make her worry? It could have been but her instinct told her there was another reason for his behavior but she had no idea what. In her mind, there was absolutely obvious he was not being honest.

No problem, because the pink haired agent knew exactly where to search and confirm what he said. She would have to pay his office a visit. If he miraculously got the possession of his stuff back, it was his office the place they were surely secluded.

"Well, this is good I suppose. Have you found out more? Who were those people and how did they know how to enter your home?"

Sasuke remained silent, not removing his eyes from her ones. It was quite difficult for both of them to follow their reaction in the darkness but there was a sudden tension hanging between them like they were aware of their dishonesty towards each other, but decided to play along. But he tried to drift her mind from the things she should not find out about.

It was not like the Uchiha heir could have told her it was him who killed those people every news talked about and got his ipad and laptop back from those people…

"The police has no suspect so they could not tell me anything concrete."

"I see…"

"You know, I have something to confirm as well." In his mind, Sasuke wanted to laugh at the irony of his maid feeling so secure in the arms of a man that took more lives that he could count, being tainted by their blood and haunted by their screams.

She was so naïve and innocent and he could not help the feeling of guilt washing trough him at the idea of corrupting her and bring her one step closer to his sinful life.

Maybe he should…no he could not tell her, not in a million years, not if he wanted her to stay beside him. Sure, he has seen her devotion and her feelings for him, but she had no right to suffer the eventual consequences.

"To confirm…what?"

"I heard from my secretary that you chased away a very important guest from my office today. Is it true?" Sakura thought a bit about his question, letting a small smile of triumph grace her features and that didn't go unnoticed by Sasuke.

"Yes, it is true. I insulted Ino Yamanaka, the one and only model, until she couldn't take it anymore and left."

In all honesty, when the young heir found out about what happened, the first thing he did was to enter the security system and check out the video record, not able to contain his laughter upon hearing his maid basically humiliating that woman.

It was pure gold and he could not have been more proud of her. Of course he saw the fact that she has roamed through his files, but that didn't bother him.

"Hn…that does not sound too good Sakura. What if she was there for business and I missed a good opportunity because of you?"

Sakura lowered her eyes, not quite thinking at the possibility when her jadeite eyes cast upon her frame entering Sasuke`s office. What if he has been right?

"I am sorry, I acted on pure instinct." A long finger slipped under her chin, brought the Sound agent`s face closer to the Uchiha`s, their noses slightly touching. Was he making her feel so bad with every remark of his own? Her pureness was contagious.

"Why did you do it?" Although the onyx eyed man knew exactly that the beautiful lady was not the type to bash on people without reason, so that blonde model must have done something to offend her in the very first place, because judging from her reaction, the two of them seemed to not be at the first encounter. So there has been some history behind it and that interested him in the very fist place.

Sakura bit her lower lip, feeling her boss` hot mint breath on her lips making it hard for her to focus on his question, debating if she should let him know.

Why not? "Because we have met not long ago at the mall and she tried to humiliate me in front of the other people. I will let my guts speak for myself and it tells me she is a major whore."

Sasuke let a small smirk make its way on his handsome features. Of course everyone knew what kind of woman that Yamanaka was, because she had scandals involving men every week.

And hearing that she has tried to make fun of Sakura kinda made him nervous, silently asking himself how to royally take her back for that. "Are you sure this is the only reason?"

"Y-Yes…NO!" Of course the reason why the emerald eyed agent did what she did was for her to throw Ino out of the Uchiha`s life, feeling like being stabbed in the heart at the idea of them meeting and her try to flirt her way into his pants.

There was no way in hell the Sound assassin would have stand beside and wait in line. Sasuke was no McDonald`s.

"Be honest." The way his maid`s shoulders stirred for a second confirmed Sasuke the fact that she did it out of jealousy and that really amused him to no end.

Did Sakura really think he would have been that much of a dumb imbecile to choose a woman like Ino over her? In the past he should have done it, but not any longer.

"…I…I don't like the idea of her…her being beside you…Sasuke." At least she was honest in that one.

"Hn…such possessiveness. You have kept it well secured down your mind, Sakura."

"...no I don't want to sound…"

"It does not bother me." A quick brush upon her lips silenced whatever Sakura has to say, letting her eyelids fall and kiss the man back, opening her hands and resting her palms on his chest.

He was slow and gentle in his movements, no tongue involved, just feather like sweet chaste kisses and it made Sakura`s heart fasten its peace at the amount of feelings Sasuke let her know through his caressing, placing reassurance back into her mind.

He was not angry with her actions like anyone in his place would have been and that meant they truly had some mysterious connection.

Out of nowhere, a loud roar pierced the deadly silence of the night, coming from the road, echoing through the solitary valleys, urging Sasuke and Sakura to abruptly pull apart and become alert. Someone was coming.

The Sound agent attempted to stand up and see what was going on, suddenly afraid of someone following them and find the situation proper to take action and do something bad, but a strong grip around her waist prevented her to do so.

She took a quick glance at the coal eyed Uchiha, seeing that he was following the direction of the sound, his body tensed like he was ready to strike any moment if some harm was expecting for them, hoping to catch him by surprise.

She complied with his movement and lowered her body back on his own, she too letting her questioning gaze to stay glued to the road, waiting.

But the emerald eyed assassin did not have time to awe at her boss calm and collected attitude, because a moment later, they have been blinded by strong white lights coming from the sinuous path, stopping right in front of them.

"What the freaking Hell..." There, in front of them stood five drivers, all of them on off road motorcycles, stopping their vehicles and removing their helmets. Sakura was confused about their identities and what business could they have possibly had with them.

She was barely seeing them to begin with, because the strong light coming from their bikes was preventing the agent to take in their figures and they did not seem too friendly. There was something in their demeanor that posed as a great threat and she trusted her assassin instinct, because she sensed the same aura around them. It did not look good.

"Sasuke…" The said raven hair had no attempt to move his body from that position, content with titling his head on his side to have a better view of them, appearing not bothered by their sudden appearance.

"Well well…guys, it looks like some lovey doveys decided to be funny tonight and steal our special meeting point!"

The guy in the middle, probably their leader, shouted at his other four companions in a mocking manner, pointing at the Uchiha heir and his maid. So that was the reason why they came there in the very first place.

Sakura let out a breath she was not aware she was holding. For a second the Sound agent was really scared at the thought of them belonging to Lorane, but they seemed to be some rich machos that lacked public attention and had a lame attempt to appear interesting that posed no threat for her.

The pink haired maid took a quick mental notice of her surroundings, planning the fastest way to take on them all with the minimum effort.

If those people were not professional assassins of members of some criminal organization the Sound agent could have take on them all with mid difficulty.

Of course, there was a little problem naming her boss witnessing how would she make a fool of five grown up men, but such was life, plus he has already seen her beating his security guards so maybe he was not going to be that surprised.

"Yeah…and look at them fixing us with those stares! I find this kind of rude, don't you think?" Another one addressed to the others who were smirking at the puzzled couple.

"Maybe they think they are better than us! Why don't you two get lost, I think I have heard your mommies calling?" Roars of laughter.

It took the Sound agent every self control she had not to burst in laughter upon hearing such a declaration of manhood, but she knew she had to play the weak scared woman in need for the moment. Maybe they just wanted to chase her and her boss out, without any further complications. "Just think? Bitch please, it would only take me ten seconds to make you beg for mercy."

There was a thing that bothered her thought, but the pink haired girl realized the reason behind the strange attitude.

She asked herself why was Sasuke staying glued to the ground and prevented her from standing up as well, but she realized he was doing his best to stay concealed and not be recognized.

The emerald eyed agent wanted to slap herself for her dumbness. Of course another scandal to add to the already many others would not going to do the Mangekyou`s CEO any good. Sakura was not a fool.

Deep inside, she knew that probably her unresponsive dark haired boss would be able to teach those drivers a good lesson if he wanted to.

Naruto already told her he is a martial arts expert who was sought by the CIA and that was no joke because they only picked the best of the best. And that made her slightly curious on what is he going to do next.

She saw three of them getting off their off road motorcycles, heading their way. Ok, so they were searching for a good beating and hell Sakura would be in to serve them. Not that she anything against them, but they interrupted her from kissing the hot male more and that annoyed her to no end.

"Hey you losers! Are you fucking retarded or just really dumb not to answer us?! Or are you possibly deaf?" The three riders stopped at two meters in front of the not that shocked pair, probably annoyed of the fact that their pathetic attempt to be intimidating was not going on accordingly.

The Sound agent raised an eyebrow at them, taking a glance at her boss. Amazingly, he was having the most serene attitude ever, but his penetrating dark gaze cast on his little audience assured her he did not lost his mind, on the contrary he seemed to calculate something and consider the situation around him.

It looked like not even the strong light in his face made him falter and that did not go unnoticed by the machos that proceeded with caution, despite their threats. She played along not saying a thing.

"You motherfuckers are pissing me off really bad! No one is going to ignore me and sure as hell not two weaklings that do not afford to rent a room to fuck!"

"Yeah, did we interrupting something?"

The other two on the bikes started to laugh, pointing in the couple`s direction. The only one that maintained a cold façade was their leader.

He tried to be imposing but failing miserably. Sakura took the chance to study them better. They were all tall and fit, except for one that was really fat, but they did not pose any threat. "This could be interesting…."

"Man I don't think they are that poor to begin with." He pointed at their felt side, where Sasuke`s own bike was placed. "That Kawasaki is worth some shit."

That caught all the biker`s attention. Indeed, the thought crossed their minds as well, making them take a double took at the weird pair.

"You are right, bro, I did not even noticed it! So you guys are loaded or something?"

Again no answer from Sasuke and Sakura. And the fact that her boss was ignoring them with talent and nonchalance made a snort escape her mouth, not able to take more of the ridicule of the situation. It was the fact that they were ignoring the five riders like they were not even real to begin with what was bothering them and to her stupor, Sakura realized that was Sasuke`s intention in the first place. Was it really his intention to piss them off?

"I think they are pissing their pants, just look at them! Dude is not even blinking HAHAHA!"

"Hey, I say let`s not scare them…too bad."

"Maybe teach them a little lesson about how to treat your superiors and show proper manners."

"We only try to be polite you know, you mute deaf cretins." The man in the middle fisted his hands pointing at Sasuke and Sakura, while the other two pulled out two pretty large knives. Sakura furrowed her eyebrows.

Ok, so things were going downhill quick. She knew they won't have any chance to get away without a fight and that was going to be bad news…for the five men. She already imagined some well placed punches down their faces.

Her curious slightly amused jade eyes darted on Sasuke`s onyx ones. Again, no reaction whatsoever. He only eyed the five men, without batting an eyelash, keeping his arm securely around her shoulders, in a protective manner.

The Sound agent has been engulfed in a warm sensation of security even though she was the one supposed to be guarding the Uchiha heir and that was making her heart skip a beat at the thought of them being viewed as a pair.

Their leader, visibly annoyed by the lack of response and the defying attitude of Sasuke who was eying them like they were not even worth of him turning his head to properly face them, took two steps in their direction coming dangerously close and pointed at Sakura, while keeping his eyes on the dark haired heir`s face.

"What about I beat the shit out of your arrogant ass and take this bitch from behind right here in front of you? And I might take your little toy as a prize as well."

It was in that moment Sasuke`s aura changed from completely calm to a one that promised murder and it did not go unnoticed by the pink haired maid, who thought she was going to suffocate of the vile intent radiating through every pore of her boss.

Slowly, he lessened his grip on her, shifted his body and rose up, coming in front of Sakura, successfully blocking their view on her, fisted his hands, his nails pressing the soft skin of his palm, slightly trembling in fury.

The daring biker took one step back probably not expecting such a menacing change in attitude, the others exchanging worried glances between them, they too fixing Sasuke with frightened stares, but they did their best to hide it.

"How about you take back what you said about her and I will allow you to live and tell your nephews how you lost all your teeth in the forest, because you had the bad luck to encounter me."

Sakura felt the hair at the back of her neck and arms rise at the vile intent poured into Sasuke`s words, spitting malevolence in the direction of the five men, like they were insects and he was ready to crush them.

And the nonchalance in his attitude when he threatened to kill them all made the pink haired girl`s blood freeze in her veins. For some unknown reason, it looked like the dark eyed man had it in him to do it if he wanted, and that was something that scared her.

She has seen that side of him before and it rivaled the darkness outside and sure as hell the other participants to the show saw it as well, because the two riders that were closer to them took a large gulp.

"H-How dare you threaten me you moron?! I am going to make you beg me not to do some permanent damage on you two!"

The leader was already stuttering and Sasuke saw it as well. If those people really thought they would be able to lay a finger on him or god forbids his maid, they were in for a good surprise.

The young Uchiha smirked arrogantly at their guts.

"Be careful what you ask for but take a look of where you are…no one would found out what happened with a gang of spoiled rich imbeciles at the top of the rocky hills…during night time…with their dead bodies lying somewhere at the bottom of the cliff…"

Dread started to rise in the five men`s throats upon feeling the palpable killing intent emanating from the young heir who was basically burning their skulls with his piercing gaze and the fact that he spoke low, dark and calm increased the obvious blood intent.

The bikers were armed and five, but the sole man that was eying them like a hawk waiting for the right moment to snap successfully inflicted fright down their spines. Sasuke had no idea who the losers were, but he realized there was something about them that did not sit right and that was the reason why he studied them in the very first place, not making a move. But they would not touch Sakura as long as he was alive.

"…A-Are you threatening us?! Stupid! You are only one and there are five of us you imbecile…"

"I…am giving you five seconds to fuck off. One second for each of you. Either you vanish from my sight…or I will make you." He didn't spoke; he has growled the threat to them.

Sakura could not take more of the malevolence coming from the raven haired Uchiha, practically tasting his evil intent on her tongue, not believing how frightening the handsome man could be when he was angry.

She unconsciously grabbed his shirt like wanting to confirm it was really the gentle passionate man that was making out with her earlier, inhaling sharply.

"Sasuke…"

"Sakura." She knew what he was telling her. To stay back and not interfere, but how could she have done that when it was her freaking mission to make sure nothing happened to him although…looking at his muscled back and more than furious demeanor more than confirmed her he was not going to be the one hurt.

One of the men had a moment of inspiration upon hearing the brief conversation. "Sasuke…as in…Sasuke Uchiha?"

That made all the riders take a double look at the men in front of them, their jaws hitting the ground when realization hit them full force. It was quite difficult to recognize the successful businessman clad in motorcycle gear at night.

"Took you long enough you stupid imbeciles." The Sound agent silently pitied Sasuke. The next day, another scandal would make the headlines of all the newspapers and magazines and it was going to be another scandal like Blue Lagoon.

Maybe she could have done something to stop that…but what? They have already taken notice of who he was…

"Now that is quite the show HAHAHA imagine such a famous man in the middle of nowhere practicing his hobbies intently!"

"Yeah, I guess he truly lives up to his reputation after all!"

"Let`s not drag this anymore! We have other more important stuff to attend!"

"Boss…are you sure…I mean he is an Uchiha after all…" The two riders that were on their bikes started to realize what were they about to do and who they were messing with.

Everyone heard about some dark rumors about him shooting a man in a club and messing with the Uchiha family was not child`s play, especially with the heir. But his boss seemed possessed because he looked ready to inflict some damage.

"Are you a pussy or something?! He is only talk, just like all of them! Hiding behind his name and money, but he doesn't know who is messing with!"

As soon as the leader of the small gang finished his sentence, he pulled out his own combat knife and darted towards the smirking raven haired man, raising his head in the air, intention obvious and he was followed by the other two, coming from his side.

"And neither…do you."

It happened so sudden that Sakura had no time to react or do something whatsoever, because in the blink of an eye, at lightning speed, Sasuke gently but firmly used his hand to push her back from him and charged forward, dippedhis body down, while letting his right foot got out underneath him , lift up and as graceful as a puma, defying gravity while his body spun in the air, performed a flawless butterfly twist, kicking two of the bikers right in their faces in one move, landing back on the ground and performing another roundhouse kick on the third approaching man`s upper body, not giving him any chance to use his knife.

What was even more frightening was the loud crack signalizing the strength of the hit made his chest armor break right in the area of his sternum, cutting his air supply.

All the three bikers that attempted to stab him were laying on the ground, wincing in pain, doing visible efforts to stand up, blood pouring from their mouths.

Sakura, just as the two remaining males had their eyes wide opened not quite believing their minds were not playing tricks on them, because what Sasuke did was something no one have been expecting.

The Sound agent knew exactly that the type of move her boss used was not only a high class one, but something not a skilled agent like her would have dared to use in such a situation, because it could have become risky.

But the young Uchiha had so much confidence in his skill that did not even considered he might have missed the kick and land straight on their knives.

And the flawless motion of his execution was so stunning, it left the remaining then cowering in fear riders with their mouths agape, like they could have not overcome the shock.

As soon as Sasuke landed perfectly with both his feet on the ground, fixed his dark hard stare on his two remaining opponents, his handsome face partly concealed by some longer raven strands that fell on his eyes and venom dripping from his mouth when he addressed them:

"I hope you two…are going to entertain me more than your loser friends."

His malevolent threat made the remaining people in question snap out of their reverie and attempt to get off their motorcycles and come his way, but they had the engines running, so while they were busy trying to kill switch their bikes, the young Uchiha sprinted towards them, lifted his body off the ground and using one of the motorcycles that were closer to him as support, landed on it with one leg to gain speed and strength and pressing hard on the said vehicle, used a flying kick to knock one of the men in his head, throwing his body off his vehicle at the force and speed of the impact, landing on the motorcycle, in his place facing the last one.

The said man clenched his grip on the large combat kunai he was holding and tried to stab Sasuke in his chest, but the raven haired Uchiha stopped his attempt with a forearm twist block, forcing him to drop his knife and pulled him closer to his side, while shifting his position on the seat to deliver a punch in his face, making him fall right on the ground.

The pink haired maid blinked several times and shook his head once in disbelief, shocked at what she has just witnessed. It was not even the fact that her boss basically made a fool of the five tough men in less than a minute the thing that threw her off, but the grace and elegance in his flawless executions, like he was a skilled martial arts master. Maybe he truly was.

For a moment, he went absolutely still, not moving an inch from the motorcycle, then abruptly turned his head over his shoulder and let his onyx eyes rest on Sakura`s emerald ones, his attitude tranquil.

The Sound agent felt being rooted to the ground in a middle of an arctic storm, her skin pierced by millions of icicles, her jadeite eyes widened in shock.

"Unbelievable…he did not break a sweat…he is not even panting!" The way he looked like in that moment…Sakura could not help but part her lips to inhale sharp gulps of air, feeling suffocated at the view of Sasuke.

He was having one leg bent, resting his arm on his knee, the other rooted on the ground, posture straight like he was a king on his throne, dominating the area around him. So dark and so alluring at the same time.

Sakura was facing her conscience being thorn between fearing him and wanting him at the same time, his alluring apparently placidcharacter attracting her like a magnet.

The coal eyed Uchiha was projecting darkness around him at the art level, his serenity being pure malicious intent and that was exactly why he did not even turned his head to check if the man he has just forcefully hit like he was nothing has gained his sensed and planned a surprise attack.

He did not need to do so, because it was just obvious he was not even conscious anymore.

A quick look around assured the emerald eyed maid that beside the rider`s leader who was letting sporadic cringes of pain, holding his chest, the others were knocked out.

In all her life as an agent, Sakura has only encountered two people who were able to manipulate the emotions around them in such a natural way and that were his brother Itachi and her mentor Orochimaru, but not even they were that excellent in their moves.

The Sound agent had absolutely no idea what to do. It was more than obvious they were in no physical danger and logically speaking, she would have expected her boss to shout at her to snap out of her stunned state, join him on his own Kawasaki and make a run for it. But there was no sign in his attitude to reveal such intentions, because he was only staying there, unmoving and eying her.

As far as he was concerned, Sasuke couldn't have been more pleasantly occupied at the sight of his maid, looking like she was debating what her next steps would be.

Was she afraid of him? She was, because everything was written there on her widened sparkling with emotion forest-green eyes for him to see and she was not even afraid to express it.

He gave her a small smirk, titling his head to let some longer strands of his midnight bangs fall into his onyx eyes, thinking at the irony of her seeing absolutely nothing of who he really was.

Was Sakura so aghast at the sight of him punching the living daylights out of those guys like he was doing his morning gymnastics routine?

What about if he started to explain to her just who exactly took care of the four dead decapitated people from the harbor, giving the local police on hell of a case to solve?

They went as far as too involve the INTERPOL as well and the fact that they were not able to find a single clue was not the most entertaining thing for the young Uchiha, no far from it.

What really made him laugh inside like a madman was the fact that his shark faced friend Suigetsu was ragging his dumb brain into figuring out who the assassin really was.

Yes, Sasuke knew his friend was part of the Tokyo INTERPOL forces, but decided to play dumb just to trick him into thinking he had the upper hand.

Of course they were friends and the raven haired heir accepted him as a close person in his life, but he was not oblivious to the things going on around him. Not with his background and connections.

Sakura felt her mind going numb at the sight of her boss, smirking in that sexy way that she came to enjoy so much, his eyes burning with a mysterious light, enhancing the striking gorgeous features, bathed in the moonlight.

He looked like the knight of the night and it was absolutely impossible to stay away from him.

Although dread was giving her goose bumps all around her skin, the dragonflies fluttering in her stomach and chest were a solid proof of the fact that longing was stronger than anxiety.

She let her jadeite eyes follow the direction of his hand when he opened his fist and addressed her in a low velvety voice that melt her insides in pleasure:

"Come."

And before she had any chance to react, the Sound agent felt her feet take the necessary steps in his direction, passing through the lying unconscious people and coming right in front of him, feeling her cells tremble, but she was not sure if it was fear or something else.

As soon as she did that, Sasuke wasted no time in sneaking a hand around her slim waist, pull her into his chest and descend his lips onto hers, kissing her with passion, biting hard at her lower lip and let his tongue slide into her hot mouth deepening their kiss.

Sakura could not help herself but give in into his touch, letting one hand rest around his neck and the other pull at his midnight soft hair, leaning more into the kiss.

The feel of him licking her lips and tasting every part of her mouth, combined with the dark vile aura radiating from his warm hard toned body and the dangerous situation they were in was making her insides crawl in pleasure.

The hazard of the moment and the idea of Sasuke being able to break her into pieces with a single touch if he wanted was making adrenaline surge through her veins and that only aroused her more.

She realized how much of a dangerous man her boss really was, but somehow she knew he was not going to hurt her.

It was the Uchiha heir to break the kiss first, allowing his maid to take a much needed gulp of hair, getting off the bike, but not removing his hand from her waist like he was afraid that if she would be free from his grip she was going to fly away from him and that was something he was not going to allow.

He kissed her for that particular reason, to place reassurance into her confused heart. Sasuke had no problem in killing people that meddled into his business, but no one was going to touch her.

"It is late. Let`s get back into the town."

"Ok."

Sakura followed her boss to his motorcycle, placed his helmet on her head, folded her arms around his torso and they basically flew on the silent dark road, back to Tokyo.

During their little journey Sakura could not help but smile like an idiot in love girl at the thought of all the events happened, not believing she was riding with her handsome extremely important boss, in the middle of the night, with the wind blowing through their hairs and no one on the road.

Having Sasuke in her tight embrace, the pink haired girl felt like she could have done anything she wanted in life and the sensation was uplifting.

Suddenly she felt like wanting to experience new things, be crazy, act wilder and feel free.

For the second time in her life, since she has escaped orphanage, the Sound agent felt liberated and it felt amazing. She felt amazing and the dark Uchiha was the one who show her another side of the story.

Of course, things have changed dramatically since she first started her mission and she wanted to laugh at the past her, who absolutely loathed the idea of coming to take care of Sasuke, cursing him to hell and back, and looking at her in that moment, resting her head on his broad back, holding him even tighter made her heart beat faster and her lips to curl up in joy.

There was a surge of happiness she could not describe blooming into her heart like a shy Canterbury Bell flower, radiating through all her pores, flooding her with warmth and stirring the butterflies in her stomach even more, to the point she could not stop her cheeks to take a rosy shade and small giggles to escape her mouth.

And there was no way she could have seen her boss smirking at her obvious state of high spirits, well aware of the reason why she was hugging him for dear life, pulling his body closer to his and deep inside he felt the same feelings as her.

Riding together with her felt like it was just meant to happen, written in the stars and sealed in every kiss they shared so far. In such a short amount of time, Sasuke was well aware of the fact that his maid was responsible for the problems to leave his mind.

He was able to feel things he thought they were buried inside his mind, too deep to resurface, but it was she who knocked at the gates of his troubled conscience, trying to find light.

The Uchiha really thought Sakura was insane, because she was searching light into darkness. In the past, it was him who was absolutely certain he could not give her what she wanted, but it seemed she only asked for what he had, nothing more and nothing less.

They were flying on the streets, losing their tracks into the city lights, the image of the Japanese city being spectacular with all the lights and the couples hanging around and the sporadic traffic made their little escapade even more delightful.

In all honesty, the onyx eyed Uchiha entertained the idea of taking an U turn and head to a destination unknown until they run out of gas.

It has been so much time since he was able to feel so unrestricted and it was because the emerald eyed girl was with him and accepted who he was. She did not question him in what he did earlier, moreover responding to his call and indulge into his kiss.

Sakura felt really sad when she saw the familiar neighborhood into her field of view, not wanting the day to ever end. She was recalling every of his touches and caresses and it was intoxicating.

The Sound agent could not help her thoughts to accept the idea of them getting closer to one another.

Sure, she didn't even need Sasuke to tell her they could not act like they did in broad daylight and she would not risk her mission like that, but it did not stop her lips to rise up into a smile.

In the past hours, they were like a romantic couple in search for intimacy and she discovered so many emotions into the Uchiha`s beautiful onyx eyes that rose the feelings she had for him to heavenly degrees.

As soon as the young heir opened the front gate and entered his yard, stopping the motorcycle, Sakura got off and pulled away her helmet, caressing her fingers through her hair, eying Sasuke, who pressed his controller to open up the garage.

"I am going inside. Want some green tea?"

"Are you seriously enjoying that taste?" Sasuke turned his head over his shoulder to look at his maid. She had a serene expression on her beautiful face. And a funny hairstyle.

Sakura slipped her hands into the leather jacket`s pockets and bit her lower lip. "No. But I heard is a powerful antioxidant and it is also really popular in here."

"Hn…since when have you become interested in being popular?"

"Since I am trying my best to blend in."

"With that hairstyle and clothes of yours, I am not even sure to which group do you want to blend in." Sasuke gave her a small smirk and took his bike on the garage, laughing inside at the cute pout on her face. She was really entertaining. And stunning.

"What do you mean what group?"

"Ask them." The Uchiha raised his hand and pointed backwards, the emerald eyed woman following its lead, her stare resting on the house across the street. She rolled her eyes.

"Really now…" Their good friendly and polite druggies neighbors were having another party, driving the silent neighborhood insane with the loud music blasting through the opened windows. God were those people weird as hell.

"Stupid selfish arrogant bastard, wait until I pull out all that hair of yours and reshape your smirking face with my fist…dimwit…moron…"

Sakura got inside with the sole intent of drinking some hot chocolate with cinnamon she found on the market, not wanting to catch the sight of the whores joining the party, because she felt like throwing up…and beat Sasuke…and kiss him.

The emerald eyed agent knew exactly what she had to do, although it has already been midnight, but there was a moped that really needed to be recovered from the swimming place.

All she had to do is to wait for her boss to head hit the pillow and slip outside. She would have to walk a good half an hour, maybe more because she has not realized how tired she really was.

Sakura boiled some water and waited for the hot chocolate to be ready. She sat on the window sit, letting her mind drift to the incredible moments with her boss, not able to stop thinking about how things would go from there on between them and if they would share such kisses or feel each other up from time to time.

She secretly hoped they will because ever since the pink haired agent got the taste of the young Uchiha she became an addict.

"Hot chocolate at this hour? Weren`t you the one nagging me about healthy food?"

The emerald eyed girl angled her head to follow the direction of the manly sensual voice, belonging to her boss. He was standing in the doorway, arms crossed, onyx eyes fixed on the stove.

"You can afford to break the rules from time to time..." Sakura prompted her head on the window frame, hands folded with fingers intertwined placed on her lap.

She was curled like a lazy cat, trying to resist the urge to close the distance between them and kiss the gorgeous male again…and again and again until she wouldn't be able to take more of him.

How could Sasuke not catch the hidden message behind her words, since everything about the way she was avoiding his gaze or how her voice came more like a whisper betrayed her inner turmoil. Did she honestly think what they have done was a one time thing?

Sasuke cold not contain a smirk to grace his features. She was in for a big surprise. "And it you are not being caught, you can even do it more often."

The raven haired man was certain his maid understood the meaning, and the angelic smile he came to like so much that made its way to her beautiful face assured him that he spoke her untold words.

"How did you know…I was about to drink hot chocolate …how much more are you able to see into my heart…?"

"I got the taste of it."

Sakura let her jadeite dart to his coal ones blushing slightly at the sight of his alluring features and not so concealed innuendo. That man never ceased to amaze her and that was why she was so attracted to him. One would never get bored with such a man beside.

"Be careful not to become an addict."

/ Be careful not to become an addict/

"Hn…too late. I am going to sleep. You should do the same." The Uchiha heir turned around and left the kitchen, her words echoing through his mind like a spell, interlacing with the flashback and that made him go crazy. He went straight to the shower, throwing the clothes on the floor without a care.

"Sakura…Safiya…is there a connection between them?"

}{

Sakura cracked Sasuke`s bedroom door open and poked he head inside to make absolutely sure her vampire boss was truly sleeping soundly in his coffin and was not going to observe her little escapade.

"Count Dracula is doing his beauty sleep, okay!" She secretly wished to go there, slip under the silky navy covers and sleep with him, but she slapped her forehead once to cease away all the naughty things that crossed her newly discovered perverted side and closed the door, being as silent as possible when going down the stairs and exited the house.

It truly was cold outside at that hour and there was barely anyone outside, except for some couples or gangs of weirdoes.

The Sound agent got a hoodie and slipped her hands into the large pockets, walking at a normal peace and kept her jadeite eyes down not wanting to attract unwanted attention.

She was slightly dizzy because of the tiredness and lack of food and that was why she drank chocolate to gain some energy. The young assassin knew she was neglecting her meals and sleep but she put that aside. Her mission came first.

In her way to the swimming place, the pink haired maid had to cross to a darker side of the town that had some questionable looking warehouses and fewer blocks and she had not seen police checking around.

Even the illumination was poor to begin with, so it was really difficult to have a clear view of the surroundings.

And that was precisely the point Sakura had difficulties in seeing the gang of twenty men emerging from the shadows when she entered the core of the dangerous neighborhood, that had their eyes set exactly on her.

"Are you sure is it her, boss? It was difficult to see something in the darkness."

"Don't you dare to question my memory."

"She was with that Uchiha bastard. What if this is going to bring us even more problems?"

"On the contrary my friend, if that cocky Bruce Lee wannabe wants his fuck toy back, he is going to pay us a fortune for her pretty ass." An arrogant smirk plastered on the tall man`s face did not went unnoticed by the other men closer to him.

"Is it necessary for all of us to be here? She is just a little girl."

"I don't want any unpleasant surprises."

"What are we going to do to her?"

"After you get her, bring her pink haired ass into the main building and make sure she is trapped. We don't want our little bounty to escape us, do we?"

"How about we use her to test our new product?"

"…That my friend…is a really good idea." He turned around and proceeded inside the tallest building, taking half of his henchmen with him as well.

Nine were enough to catch a little mouse. "That is going to teach that Uchiha to mess with me in the first place. Get her!"

Music was blasting through Sakura`s ears, she completely oblivious of what was happening around. It was in the moment she felt a rough hand forcefully making her halt her movements and pulled backwards almost making her lose balance, did the Sound agent realized she was in deep danger.

Same time, Akatsuki`s private villa, Japan, Tokyo

Silence.

Three pairs of eyes were glued to the sun kissed Akatsuki member, trying to take in the information that came out of his mouth. And it took their chestnut eyed female member exactly two seconds flat to snap and let out a piercing high pitched scream of fury her all body portraying the amount of hate she was feeling.

"WHATTTTTT?! Naruto I dare you to repeat what you have just said, because I think my mind has troubles in grasping the meaning of what came out of you mouth!"

Naruto had absolutely no feelings of guilt washing through his cerulean eyes that were glued to Ten Ten, not blaming her for her angered state and not taking her side in bashing the pink haired agent. After all, everyone was entitled to have their own personal opinions in the matter.

"Like I told you Tennie, I told Suigetsu we are part of the CIA."

The Akatsuki female agent fisted her trembling hands into her untied hair, pulling roughly like she was trying to take Naruto`s words out of her mind by force.

"Oh God don't say that again, because I think I am going to be sick! No, screw that, I am already sick and I feel like beating the shit out of you until your dead body is going to be beyond recognizable by the legist!"

Neji, who was more than pissed off because he was awaken from his peaceful slumber, was watching the spectacle in front of him, leaning on the wall and keeping the distance from his enraged fiancé, not quite interested to join the conversation. In his mind, she was overreacting like usual.

His lavender eyes took a quick glimpse at the large TV screen at their team leader`s passive expression. Itachi was having a bored look on his tired face, not saying anything.

When Ten Ten grabbed the controller and not even checking the late hour, caller the older Uchiha to denounce Naruto about his disclosure of identity, all he had to say was "cool", much to his fiancé`s horror.

"Guys…have you just called me at this freaking hour to watch you argue like kindergarten children? If I wanted scandals I would have called my foolish little brother to ask him if I could come and visit."

Itachi had even forgot how to sleep, since the Hokage has assigned him with the supervising a team of agents in the Pacific, keeping an eye on some guns dealers, and he got a call to be informed by the most trivial things. The older Uchiha felt like banging his head on the large screen.

"Ten Ten, stop it this is so ridiculous is not even worth mentioning it." Neji rubbed his forehead, wanting nothing much than to go upstairs and resume his sleep. Of course with a woman like the chocolate eyed agent nothing was simple.

"You dumb ignorant Hyuga bastard, don't tell me you teamed with this traitor over here just to annoy me more I mean HELOOOOOO Sugietsu found us out and it is all his and that slut`s fucking fault!"

She pointed at Naruto who had his face hidden in the silk pillow. He was more than tired. He was exhausted. "Itachi, don't just stay there posing as furniture, say something!"

"…Suigetsu is an INTERPOL agent, so I guess it went both ways, since he too choose to reveal his identity. I see no problem in finding out about one another, since CIA and the INTERPOL are in permanent contact."

"You tell her Leader!"

"Shut up you Ramen obsessed idiot! Are you for real Itachi? Am I the only one that hears alarms in here?! How many times do we have to cover for that whore?! What if Sasuke or God forbids someone else finds out about this?

Are we supposed to go there and just say ah you know we kind of working for the CIA so whatever looks suspicious, just don't worry, we are going to take our guns and solve the trouble…get serious people!"

Itachi pinched the bridge of his nose, his headache rising like the water pressure in a deep ocean. That woman was giving them hell.

"Look…I understand your concern, but don't involve Athena in this. It was Naruto the one to reveal his identity out of his own accord, so please be objective."

"He got you in here…" Neji threw a small smirk at his fuming lover, amused to no end by the way she was pacing into the living room, flailing her hands on the air and threatening Naruto like she was a mother in law on her period.

"You shut up!" The chestnut eyed woman almost broke her neck at the speed of her turn of head in the direction of the Hyuga heir, pointing her index at him, not believing that no one was giving her right in the matter. "And you…I hope for your own good that fish stinking manwhore Suigetsu has not trolled you, because if I am going to be discovered by…"

"I have already checked his personal information on the database. Hozuki Suigetsu, INTERPOL agent at Tokyo Police Forces, working for the Organized Crime and Maritime piracy so it is ok. He is not lying. But I would admit Naruto, you got lucky in here."

"He was the one to call me first and ask for my opinion. It was true, no one asked me to reveal my identity, but I think I got tricked here by him to do so. Suigetsu is a clown like me, but he has experience as an agent."

"Experience? He basically made a fool of you you…you fool! I cannot believe any of you! You are basically overlooking the fact that not only Naruto has been found out.."

"…by an INTERPOL agent that has collaborated with us…" Neji was not sure at first, but he was sure he has seen Suigetsu at the Blue Lagoon arresting some whore. It was too dark to see such details and he was busy in fighting those criminals to begin with.

"Do not interrupt me please, thank you! I don't give a fuck if Suigetsu is working for the INTERPOL or he dresses in Mickey Mouse at Disneyland!

Not only that woman made Naruto reveal his identity, but she has humiliated us at the swimming place as well and guess what?! It was your fault for covering for her as well!"

"Tennie…" Naruto could not take more of her colleague`s bashings. After his little chat with Sakura and Suigetsu he has realized just how much of a wonderful person the pink haired agent really was and it was too bad in his opinion that Ten Ten was so blind by hate to see it as well.

"Don't Tennie me you imbecile moron! Why the hell did you go there and fight Sasuke in front of a group of people eying us and recognizing us as well?! I don't understand your obsession for that…slut! This is what she is don't you see?!"

"Honey I think you should calm down and let us…"

"NO! I am sick of all of you act like nothing happened to begin with! Why are all you men so lenient when it comes to Athena of the Sound, are you all in love with that hooker or you just think with your dicks instead of brains?! Are you that blind to overlook she is toying with you all?! I can even bet my money she has successfully seduced Sasuke as well!"

The chestnut eyed agent was beyond pissed. No, she was having so vile intentions for Sakura that she even considered go to the younger Uchiha and reveal everything just to see her suffer. She couldn't hate on her more.

She turned around to face the TV looking deadly into Itachi`s dark eyes, annoyed to no end at his passive attitude. Was there something to faze him to begin with?

"You can say what you want Itachi but don't come to me crying when your brother is going to send you an invitation to his wedding. I am sure you would be more than happy to become family with the world`s second slut."

The older Uchiha decided to play smart. "…the second? Who is the first then?"

"Her friend Karin, duh!"

"Actually…that would make her my cousin…"

"Look at my face Naruto, do I look like I give a shit about that?"

"Actually…I only see you have not removed all your foundation from your face. Man that pimple is kind of big."

Naruto and Neji let out a loud laugh at the way their female member`s ears go red in fury and she stomped her foot on the ground, fisting her hands in their direction. Itachi snorted loudly. His team…was not normal.

"….Oh my God, I cannot believe you Naruto, how can you laugh in this situation?!"

"…by stretching my mouth, throwing my head backwards and let the air escape my lungs!"

Neji hid his face into his palms, not quite able to contain more laughing. At that hour…all of them were more than insane. Itachi smirked widely because he was too cool to laugh. Naruto was in hysterics.

"So you want to be smart huh?! Ok. Have it your way then." Ten Ten took her leather jacket from the armchair, her phone and car keys and bolted to the front door. That made the three men fix her with curious stares.

"Where are you going darling?"

"I am going straight to Sasuke`s home and mop the floors with that whore!"

The Uzumaki got alarmed already sprinting after the chestnut eyed woman. That was not good. If Ten Ten wanted to go confront Sakura, nothing good could come out from that one.

"Wait Tennie, you cannot go there like that! What about the Teme?"

"I don't care about him! You can stay here and laugh for all I care! But she is going to hear exactly what I have to say, either way I am going to suffocate in here!"

Before Neji or Naruto had a chance to stop her, the Akatsuki female agent opened the door and it took her 30 seconds to take the black SUV outside the yard and sprint towards the younger Uchiha`s villa.

Silence.

"This doesn't look too good." Itachi shook his head in disbelief already taking mental notices in how to not annoy temperamental women.

"Fuck she is going to do it…" Neji knew what kind of lady his fiancé really was. He did not know what to do because trying to stop her was pointless. Maybe he should call Sakura and let her know…or not.

"W….Why haven't you stopped her you moron?!" Naruto turned around and screamed at a too stoic Hyuga heir. Their female member took the only available means of transport and there was no way to catch her.

"Like how? You know how Ten Ten is when angry."

"So you say your fiancé…is going to face Athena of the Sound…at my otutou`s home?"

"To put it simply Leader…yes."

"God…this has disaster written all over it." Itachi could not even begin to imagine his little brother's reaction as such a possible scandal. He was no fool and he was always the one to stop the arguments at all the Balls and Gatherings between the Akatsuki and the Sound.

The older brother shut his dark eyes and massaged his temples, not believing his eyes on how many problems did he have.

"Leave that to us. Tell me Itachi, have you managed to find out more about the incident with the four decapitated men?"

"Actually…yes. It looks like police has managed to find a trace on the ground that has been poorly covered in the weird powder. It seems to belong to a motorcycle."

That caught Neji and Naruto`s attention. "A motorcycle? You mean the assassin`s?"

"Yes."

Neji rubbed his chin, his eyebrows furrowed in thought. "Was it only one?"

"I don't know this. It is barely visible to begin with, but the police managed to take a sample and investigate it. They are working on determining the type of the bike as well although that is going to take some time."

"So we have four decapitated people by a killer on a motorcycle…"

Naruto already had a dumb look on his face, rubbing his teeth together. "…What is that movie called, with a guy that rides a bike and has a Halloween pumpkin in flames instead of head? Cos this case starts to sound like that kind of movies where something comes from under the bed and grabs you ankle when you least expect it."

Itachi raised an eyebrow at that, taking notice of his colleague`s comical antics. Man was that agent quite the character. "Let`s not be so dramatic. I think the suspect is quite…human."

"Yeah…but he managed to decapitate four tall fit men in one strike and leave no trace behind. I say this is not your ordinary killer from an ordinary criminal organization, in search for revenge."

"Actually…I am not quite sure about that Neji. According to the police`s report and my own research, those four decapitated people have no background to begin with. I cannot even find their criminal records."

That was what the older Uchiha has tried in vain for two days to find out, with no success.

"You mean…no one knows who are they? Doesn't this make them suspicious as well?"

"It does and this is why I think is safe to not overlook the fact that they might belong to a criminal organization as well."

"So basically an assassin killed other assassins, right?" Leave it to their Leader and the Hyuga heir to have such logic and make Naruto understand absolutely nothing of what were they talking about.

"This is kind of forced but…I think you can put it like this as well, if it makes it easier for you to understand."

"Wait a second Itachi. If things are like this, then there are only to possibilities I see here: either the person that killed them wanted revenge or silence them for reasons we don't know, or they had something that interested him in the very first place."

Itachi nodded once, he too suspecting the very same thing. "I thought about this myself Neji, but police said there was nothing suspicious there to begin with."

"Maybe the killer got what he wanted from them and the police found absolutely nothing when they arrived."

"That might be true. But there is other thing that does not sit right with me. Why didn't the assassin or assassins disposed of the bodies? There was enough time to do so."

Both Neji and Naruto exchanged glances, not quite sure about what to answer. What Itachi told them made absolute sense and that did not cross their minds to being with. "Good question."

"A hidden message? A threat?"

"More like the former."

"And…was it meant for the police or for someone else?"

"More likely for someone else that was behind those people."

"…this is fucked up I tell you."

"Yeah…"

"What about the secret CIA agent that we have troubles in understanding how he found out about the case so fast?"

"There was nothing suspicious regarding him. Half of the information we got is from him."

"…I see."

"Guys I have to go, there are some things I would like to…"

Itachi had no time to finish his sentence, because a loud BEEP coming from their pagers attracted everyone`s attention. Itachi quickly checked the location of the signal, biting his lower lip at the sight of the GPS coordinates.

"Guys, a Tokyo agent has sent an SOS. It is at 20 minutes far from where you guys are. I cannot fully locate the location, because the signal is weak. I am sending you the area to look for."

Naruto`s cerulean eyes widen in shock when realization hit him. A CIA agent has called for any available colleagues around to come and provide backup. Neji caught the meaning of his leader`s words as well. They voiced their thoughts at the same time.

"Sakura-chan"

"Ten Ten."

}{

"Wait until I get my hands on that bitch…she doesn't have an idea who she is messing with…God I am going to mur…"

Ten Ten was driving like she had no rule, gripping the steering wheel like she tried her best not to go insane. Seriously, the amount of hate she had for the pink haired agent was radiating through every fiber. The Akatsuki agent was capable of anything in that moment.

She let her cognac eyes dart on the beeping cell phone, slightly surprised to see an SOS message delivered to her.

"SOS from a Tokyo agent? Who could…don't tell me…" Realization hit the Akatsuki female agent full force, making her head hit the dead rest and laugh like an insane woman. The irony of it…of course she knew exactly who had troubles if her colleagues were at home, sound and safe.

In her mind, Sakura got what she deserved and Ten Ten almost wanted to throw her phone on the window, blaming it on her fury. If she has not heard the SOS signal, no one was going to accuse her of not doing her duty to provide backup.

She was thorn between duty and hate, not quite sure of what to do. The chestnut eyed lady removed her left foot from the gas and pressed the brake roughly, the SUV coming to a halt…in the middle of a deserted intersection. She folded her hands on the steering wheel and let his head rest at the top of them, inhaling deeply.

Having her blood boil in rage was one thing, but having an agent sending an SOS signal that was only used for the worst scenarios, like Naruto did back then at Shiseido Ginza was no child`s play.

She checked her pager. Itachi has sent a copy of the GPS coordinates, with the message that he could not fully locate Sakura, because the signal was weak. "She is somewhere inside…"

"25 minutes from here by car…" She pressed the back of her hand on her forehead, brown eyes tightly shut. "God…what do I do now?"

Ten Ten took her pager and threw it on the back sit, threw the SUV into reverse and stepped on the gas, taking a sharp U-turn. "I don't give a fuck…about what happens to her." She did not even answered Neji or Naruto`s desperate calls on her phone.

The first thing Sakura realized when she woke up was that she was literary freezing. She blinked rapidly few seconds to try and have a clear view of where she was, but her vision was blurry.

Her eyes were stinging like she someone has thrown sand into her cornea and the lack of tears to lubricate the sensitive orbs was making it hard for her to even keep her eyes opened.

But that was mandatory, because there was one thing that the pink haired maid was certain about and that was the fact that she was in deep trouble. When her vision started to clear, Sakura took in her surroundings.

Apparently she was in a cold room and the level of the ice was at least ten centimeters thick, making the temperature in the small space drop under zero degrees fast. It was like walking barefooted on an iceberg, the feeling of all her blood freeze in her veins making her feel numb.

"Argh…" The Sound agent was aware of the fact that she was lying on the frozen surface and the only barrier she had between her body and the ice was a not so warm hoodie and T-Shirt underneath, that were not able to provide enough warm to prevent a hypothermia.

The fact that she was not able to feel any muscle in her body was not coming as a shock for the emerald eyed woman, because she was well aware that it was not going to take much time for her body to go completely numb and her heart to eventually stop beating.

She managed a small smile. Funny how she felt so warm and cosy in her boss` embrace few hours ago and then she was face to face to death.

Sakura has tried her best to remain calm and think about a strategy. She could barely move her head and her hands, which were tied with a rough thick rope, behind her back. She was lying on her side and her feet were also tied but with something stronger that sounded painfully familiar as a pair of handcuffs.

"…ten…only ten…" That was the number of the men she has managed to incapacitate when one of them grabbed her arm roughly and she regained her balance, elbowing him in the solar plexus and round kicking him in the chest, breaking three of his ribs.

The other mystery persons soon took turns in trying to get their hands on her, but they failed miserably.

Even though they came armed with knives and baseball bats, the Sound assassin has managed to defend herself, using senbons and hand to hand combat. She mentally cursed herself for leaving her Bo Staff home, because with her weapon of choice she would have been long gone.

The pink haired maid even managed to have only superficial scratches, while the other were lying on the ground, holding their injured ribcages, arms or feet.

She was sure she has managed to kill two of them with her senbons as well, but it was self defense so if the police was to find out there was going to be no problem for her.

Only she did overlook to take in the unexpected. And she paid the price of her carelessness when five more emerged from the building they had brought her in, all armed but surprisingly not with fire arms, but more like traditional oriented weapons, giving her hell.

It was in the moment one of them managed to get closer to Sakura while she was busy avoiding a well aimed punch in mid distance and inject a weird substance down her arm, her mind went blank and her body turned to jelly.

There was no way the emerald eyed agent could have defended herself anymore and the people attacking her were skilled to being with. She had bruises and open cuts all over her body; the most painful of all was a deep cut on her right tight that was bleeding badly.

Soon after the weird substance took full effect, she dropped to the ground and an axe kick aimed at her head was the last thing she has seen before she lost consciousness, hence the throbbing headache and the rivulets of blood leaking sporadically from her open cut, most of it being dried on her pale frozen skin.

Her clothes were ripped and her hair was messy, bathed in her blood and sweat, equally frozen as the rest of her body. She had big scratches and cuts down her arms and legs and bruises all over her torso.

The rosette was aware of a front kick aimed at her spine, which she managed to barely avoid, resulting in a burning pain on her neck and lower back, slightly worried not to have had further deeper injuries and risk part of her vertebras to puncture her spinal cord and become paralyzed.

Sakura was certain she would have had horrid pains all over her body if not for the fact that her body went numb because of the low temperature and she was not sure how much the adrenaline could have helped her into lessening her suffering.

She exhaled sharply taking notice of the extremely low temperature that made her see her breath.

Her lungs were burning her and her chest was paining her. Violent shivers made its way to all her body and the pink haired agent felt more and more confused, as an obvious sign of hypothermia.

The irony of it was that she could not even cry anymore, in pain or fear or both. She went through all her options in her mind; nothing concrete seemed to help her. Sakura was certain not even a genius like Shikamaru Nara would have been able to come up with an escape plan from that situation.

No more than 7 meters square…those were the dimension of the room she was currently occupying for God only knew how much time she had to live.

And the high shelf where different packs with colorful substances were placed gave the jadeite dizzy eyed girl an insight to what was happening there, mentally putting two and two together.

"…they are testing drugs…they are drug dealers…" And she knew why she was kidnapped, because she recognized one of the men among them and that was one of the five riders that Sasuke took care of. Apparently they were part of a bigger organization and she fell right into their trap.

The question was why didn't they kill her in the very first place and all that her mind could come up with in her state was either they were trying to contact her boss for a recompense which was laughable, or they were using her as test subject which was most likely.

She vaguely wondered if Sasuke would have paid whatever ridiculously amount of money they would have asked for her. Would he? Was she really that valuable in his eyes?

It was pure assassin reflex to press the SOS button from her phone when she sensed she was going to lose consciousness and hope someone the Akatsuki would hear it.

There was no signal in the area and she knew it as well, not only that but in the moment she dropped her phone, one of the men that made a small cut on her neck stomped on it and broke it into pieces so any chances in calling Orochimaru were gone.

During her career as a CIA agent, Sakura has managed to survive many deadly situations, like being trapped on a sinking submarine or plane crashes, but at least she was not drugged, hurt and tied in any of them and somehow she has always found a way out. Not anymore apparently…

"Fuck…I don't want to die like this…" But what was she supposed to do? Wait for backup? As if…who knew if Akatsuki heard her signal or if they were willing to come. No, that was beside the point, they had to come because it was any agent's responsibility and Naruto would not leave her aside since she has saved his life as well, the others included.

Sakura attempted to move her legs and fingers again, with disappointing results. She could feel her muscles constrict and there was not enough blood flooding through her because of the low temperature to provide her warmth and strength, hence the dizziness.

And that drug…the pink haired maid searched through her information, trying to relate whatever they have injected into her system to any known poison or substance.

The emerald eyed agent took in her symptoms, trying to put aside the once caused by the freezing: dizziness, confusion, loss of muscles control, low blood pressure and she would have tried to articulate some words, but that only came out as a cough. Damn the coldness in the room.

Of course it was difficult to determine the exact substance she was given and they were testing drugs, so there was a chance she has been injected with a mixture between some of them.

But Sakura knew that whatever they have given her was mean to incapacitate her, that was more than obvious so she took her guess nonetheless.

"Rape drugs…Rohypnol…" She knew that in many countries that particular substance was used to immobilize the victims of the rape because of its effect over the human body and if she has been given such a mix, it was twice as bad.

"Damn it…" The young agent let her eyelids rest over her tired jadeite eyes, prompting her forehead on the cold floor. She was in real trouble and she could not even say if she was going to survive until one of the Akatsuki would hear the message and help.

There was only one thing that she had and could have been used and that was a smaller senbon she has managed to slip into her Jeans pocket, God only knew how, in a moment of inspiration. But she did not have enough energy to attempt anything.

Sakura formulated a quick plan into her mind, finding too many things that would have gone truly bad for her to put up such a stunt.

First she had to somehow untie herself, then break the metal door and escape, just to face the whole gang of bikers, who she did not even knew the number of. All in all, it sounded impossible.

She bit her lower lip in anger, a stinging sensation piercing through the bruised soft skin.

A faint electrical discharge washed through her body, making her muscles come to life for a moment and her lifeless eyes show wide open. It was not because of the injuries…her lips…Sasuke…how could she have forgotten about him.

"No…I will get out of here…no matter how…" It was a decision she took right there and then and that was she was going to return to the raven haired Uchiha, even if she had to do the impossible and escape the troublesome situation.

How would she have expected to face Lorane one day if she, as the Sound's top assassin would be reduced to silence by a bunch of mere drug dealers.

With a newfound energy, Sakura shifted her position and flexed her arms, managing to slip her tied hands into the pocket and pull out the senbon.

She took some deep breaths to relax, the effort making her even dizzier than she was. She clenched her jaw to prevent her teeth from chattering and risk to bite her tongue in the process and curled her body, so as her hands came in contact with her equally tied legs.

She felt the cold metal under her fingertips. The Sound agent has been right; they have used handcuffs to immobilize her. She would have laughed at their imbecility if the situation would have been in her favor.

"Metal…in extreme cold…you imbeciles…" If the people that kidnapped her were that dumb not to have the elementary notions of chemistry, such as metal becomes very brittle in low temperature, then there was no way she was going to die in there, by their hands.

As expertly as she could giving her condition, Sakura arched her back, as much as she could, aware of the fact that her spine might have suffer a severe trauma, and slipped the needle in the keyhole, well aware of the fact that she had to bent the end of the senbon to end up with an angle shaped like a squiggle.

She had her head turned on her side as much as she could and she let out a small smile when her jadeite eyes caught the sight of the shape she desired.

She placed the bent part into the keyhole again, so that it was pointed in the direction of the locking arm. It took her about five minutes of patiently twisting the needle until she heard the familiar click of the handcuffs unlocking and spring open. "Yes!"

The effort it took the pink haired agent to free her legs, caused blood to surge through her members and she was getting aware of the injured state she was in, because Sakura was hit by sharp pains in her lower back, chest and shoulders.

And the fact that she was lying on her side made her deep cut on the tight rub against the frozen surface, which was agonizing.

But that would have to wait until she got home…or hospital. The young girl was well aware of the fact that she had to treat the injuries as fast as she could and she needed medical help.

Sakura took her time and moved her unrestrained legs for some minutes to let blood circulate through them and warm whatever it could be warmed.

She was freezing in there and it became even more difficult to move any part of he body. When she was content with the result she got, slowly but firmly the pink haired Sound agent had two failed attempts to stand, but she managed to on the third try.

She felt like she has been hit by a speeding train, because as soon as she gained her verticality, the emerald eyed lady shut her eyes and let her back rest on one of the walls, feeling the floor slip out of her feet.

It was impossible to determine the time she has been unconscious and have an idea of how much the effect of the drug was going to last.

The fact that she had the peak was the only certainty the agent had in that moment. She shook her head once and reopened her stingy forest green eyes, lowering her upper body and bringing her hands from the back to her front, studying the rope.

It was professionally tied and pretty thick, also more resistant to extremely low temperatures than the metal from the handcuffs.

"Hm…let`s see just how sharp ice can be…" Inwardly, Sakura felt really lucky that nobody came and check on her until then and that gave her time to devise a plan.

There was no way the Sound agent would have been able to run from there or fight those men, but she could have hid in the building and give the Akatsuki more time to find her. Time, that was what she needed in that moment.

She went in the direction of the high shelves, where various bags and drug containers rested and focused her gaze on a thick really sharp icicle, pointing on the ground.

She raised her arms with much difficulty, cursing the fact that she was not tall enough and rubbed the rope that held her hands captive on the razor like icicle, until she felt the material start to give in.

"Fuck…it takes too much time…" The young assassin paid attention to maintain the speed of the move, applying only the necessary pressure to cut down the rope, without risking the icicle break and hurt her, but that was proved to be a difficult task because her body was weak, frozen and her injuries were stinging and throbbing. The worse part was her thigh.

She darted her emerald eyes on her right leg, taking in the deep cut through her ripped Jeans. She had blood leaked down her whole leg and the freezing temperature was doing no good to the open injury.

She could not even want to imagine all the complications and permanent damage her body was going to sustain if she did not free herself right there and then.

Sakura returned her focus on her task, mentally calculating the time it took her to successfully cut the rope in half, not quite believing her eyes such thing actually worked.

She felt like playing in a movie with stupid people. "15 minutes…" When her hands come loose, she took the notice of her scratched reddened wrists, her mind drifting to the small moon on Sasuke`s left wrist, unconsciously liking the event with the LSD.

The pink haired agent let her eyes roam through the shelves and drugs boxes, checking if they had a name or any information relevant. She found out they had, but she could not recognize the names. Either way, under the note with each drug`s name, there was a small list of ingredients.

She furrowed her eyebrows at this, her suspicion confirmed. Those men were mixing common drugs in hope to increase the power of the psychedelic substances on the nervous system.

Some of them were really familiar and Sakura remembered what Tsunade and Orochimaru thought her about some easy concoctions she could have made from the basic drugs.

Luckily for her, there was such a combination of Cocaine, Rohypnol, Chloroform and Sevoflurane, the former ones commonly used as anesthetics in medicine.

She took the small bag and slipped it into her pocket, because she was almost certain that would come in handy if the Sound assassin wanted to make a run for it later, by drugging some guards.

"Now let`s see the door…" Not only she was coughing deeply and her chest was hurting her, but Sakura was trembling madly as well, feeling her bones crack. It was amazing how was she able to even stand.

She was so cold it was painful but at least if she has been able to feel pain, meant the drug was decreasing in effect. Better have her mind clear if she wanted to make a run for it.

A quick study of the metal surface assured Sakura the door was neither really thick nor really solid to begin with and that was good.

Of course she had no strength left to break it or force it open, but she could easily go for the lock with her senbon and that was exactly what she did in the very first place, only the lock was harder to break that the one from the handcuffs.

There was a small voice at the back of her mind that alerted Sakura there was someone approaching her, but she could not be sure.

Either ways, she had to get out of there quickly, because she had no idea of how much time has she resisted in the extremely cold temperature and it was in the moment Tsunade`s teachings came to her mind did the pink haired agent realize it was because of the weird effect on the drugs she has been injected that she able to regain consciousness and not go into hypothermia.

A loud click heard from the other side of the door made her halt in her movements. "Oh no…" Garnet eyes went wide open when the realization of one of the men that took her captive might have decided to check on her made her panic inside and that did not helped her current situation.

If one of the riders was indeed coming to make sure she did not try anything funny, any chance to get out of there was goodbye, because the Sound agent did not have the guns or the strength to fight any of them.

Not with her body numb and the deep cuts on her skin. It was a miracle the mere idea of being able to coordinate her movements and hold the senbon in between her cold trembling fingers.

"No…I will not die in here, I cannot!" Sakura took a step back and raised the senbon in front of her face, the intent clear.

If there was a thing that she was certain about was the element of surprise that was on her side, because whoever was behind the door could not have any idea of what she was doing. The Sound agent checked on her surroundings and she spotted no CCTV, which meant they were not keeping their eyes on her.

What was truly weird was the fact that the mystery person on the other side of the door has not opened it by then and the clicks from the lock were still heard, which only meant there was no key on the door.

She stirred her shoulders, thinking hard. "Is he forcing the keyhole as well?" It could have been an explanation, because their kidnapper should have opened the door by then easily with the proper key slipped on the keyhole.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the familiar sound of unlocked door and her wide jade eyes followed in anxiety the slow turning of the doorknob, indicating that someone was indeed trying to enter the cold room. Sakura took a sharp breath of air, panting heavily. That was it.

The door was being pushed opened in slow motion, cautiously, like the other person wanted to make sure there is not going to be a monster jumping his bones from the freezing room.

Her left foot went back and she dropped her body lower in a fighting stance, while raising her hand slowly, following the opening of the door and trying to determine the perfect angle to strike.

The sole entrance to her frozen confinement opened more revealing an unidentified silhouette barely visible in the poor illuminated hall. With all the strength and speed she could have mustered, Sakura did not waste any moment.

As soon as her emerald eyes confirmed the presence of a person in front of her, she thrust forward, with the sole intention in shoving the sharp senbon on his chest.

But she was stopped of her attempt by the clash of metal on metal, almost losing balance in the process and the force of the impact sending her and the mystery person two steps back, till Sakura pushed the unknown presence on the wall in front of her.

Silence.

Her garnet eyes went wide as saucers colliding to an equally shocked pair of chocolate ones, eying her intently, like wanting to confirm the person in front was indeed real. Realization hit the two women full force.

Two words came out of a heavily panting Sakura, and that in the form of strangled whispers.

"….Ten….Ten…"

It was the first moment the Sound agent felt like putting the Akatsuki female member into a tight embrace, forgetting all the hate she had in stock for that woman. Ten Ten could not have found a better moment to make a glorious appearance. But how was she able to find her? Was it her who got her SOS?

Almost like reading her mind, the beautiful agent took in her appearance, almost not believing her eyes it was the famous Sound assassin standing before her.

"Athena? What the heck…what happened to you?" She relaxed her stance, lowering her hand that was tightly gripping the kunai she used to block Sakura`s unexpected attack.

It was pure agent intuition that the cognac eyed woman defended herself, not quite entertaining the idea of the pink haired assassin physically assaulting he from the other side of the door. She too heard the lock being forced and that was making her proceed with caution.

Nonetheless, chestnut eyes did a quick scan over the panting and trembling woman in front of her, pity making its way to her throat. Sakura`s clothes were ripped, she had open cuts and deep injuries down her arms and neck, a split lip, a deep cut on her temple and she could not ignore the big one from her tight.

Not only that but she was freezing and her whole pale skin got a purple hue like a piece of dead meat. She could not help but think in awe how was it even possible for a human being in that condition to even find the strength to free herself and attempt to escape.

"…I…have been…attacked…by….them." Sakura dropped the senbon she was holding, aware of that fact that it served no functional purpose, since the end was bent to force the lock.

Her knees turned to jelly and gave away, making her body drop on the floor. Her all body was aching her and it was painful. Sakura wanted to cry at the sharp wave of pain washing through her body.

Not only that, but the adrenaline rush made some parts of her skin defrost and the pinching sensation on her skin was so bad it felt like it was burning her.

Ten Ten shook her head in disbelief. Never in her life could she have envisioned Sakura in such a situation and no matter how angry she was at her and how much she loathed the woman in front of her, it was difficult to ignore the state she was in.

Her chocolate eyes softened and she bit her lower lips, thinking hard at the situation. It was more than clear the agent was in no condition to fight or even walk.

The Akatsuki female member took out her phone and pager and checked for the signal. She had none, because the buiding`s inner walls were covered in a special aluminum foil that made the tracking impossible. If she wanted to contact Neji and Naruto they should head outside.

"Fuck…here." Ten Ten took a bottle of warm green tea (she was not a fan of water) and a pill and lowered her body on the ground, kneeing in front of Sakura, who raised her head slightly to look into her eyes, eyebrows rose.

"Is that…"

"Yeah. Our special pill. Take it." Ten Ten handed the items to Sakura, following her movements intently.

All the CIA agents had special designed pills that contained an non harmful for the body dosage of snake venom and ginkgo biloba that gave the body enough sugar rush to escape a troublesome situation and stimulating the cerebral activity, as well as preventing infections to spread and neutralizing the common poisons. It was Sasori`s finest invention.

Without wasting anymore time, the pink haired agent shoved the miraculous pill down her throat and took a sip of the tea, relishing in the warm beverage that did wonders to her frozen insides. She handed the empty thermos flask to an expecting Akatsuki agent nodding once.

"T-Thank you."

Ten Ten watched in pure fascination how Sakura managed to pull her body up, steadying her position and rubbing her messy hair, taking in her surroundings.

"Where are we?"

"Don't you know? We are in the tallest building from here. The one with the white windows. This is the main floor. The others are in the basement and the first floor. I think is abandoned and those bastards found it convenient to make it their HQ."

Sakura exhaled deeply, feeling the pill taking its effect. Of course the next days she was going to face the symptoms of a pregnant woman, in terms of throwing up every ten minutes, but she was going to lose appetite which was really bad for her condition. She turned her head to face Ten Ten, who scanned the poorly lighted long hall.

"I lost consciousness while I was fighting them outside. I have no idea how I ended up in here."

"I see. Are you sure you are able to walk?"

"Barely. How did you get in? Where are all the others?"

"When I got your SOS and arrived in here, there were only three men keeping an eye of the surroundings, but I have managed to incapacitate them with poisoned senbons, successfully slipping past them and entering the building.

On my way here, I have heard two people taking to each other in the small room that is closer to the entrance, about some girl they have managed to kidnap that is held prisoner at the end of the corridor in a really cold room, where more drugs are stocked."

The Sound agent blinked rapidly, trying to force some tears to moist her stinging eyes. "So you already know they are drug dealers. I must confess they are also riders and they have attacked Sasuke and I some hours ago. What is the time?"

Ten Ten eyed her wristwatch, digging in the piece of information Sakura has told her. "3 am."

"Shit…So I have staid in that room for at least three hours. Damn it."

"Naruto and Neji probably got the SOS and last thing they did was talking to Itachi so I am sure they were able to at least locate you on the GPS, although I am sure the lack of signal made it difficult for them to fully see you on the map."

"So this means they are scouting somewhere around." Sakura already felt relief washing through her.

If the Hyuga heir and the blonde Uzumaki were somewhere close to them, four CIA agents were having no problem in taking those people down, even if they used firearms. Akatsuki were specialists in guns.

"I think so. I called Neji on my way here and told him I am closer to you. He said he was going to provide backup. If this people are drug dealers, Tokyo Police must be announced."

That reminded Sakura of Suigetsu and a quick glance at the chestnut eyed agent assured her of what exactly she thought of the fact, but refrained form voicing out her frustration when they were in a deadly situation. "Yeah…"

"Let`s get the fuck out of here before someone comes and find us."

"Good point."

The two women made their way to the exit, extremely cautious to their surroundings, proceeding with silent moves as two ninja warriors, not wanting to attract any sort of attention. Both the agents were more than aware of the fact that it was too easy and soon they would have to fight again, much to Sakura`s horror.

Who knew where the other Akatsuki agents truly were of if they were going to make it on time in the first place and the emerald eyed woman barely moved to begin with so any sort of back up was utopia.

They were getting closer to the exit, hearing muffled sounds of people talking echoing through the stillness of the building, trying to adapt their hearing and follow the direction of the whispers and determine the location of the drug dealers.

"You do realize it is too easy." Sakura was already limping, gripping the hem of her T-Shirt and roughly ripping the soft material, having the intention to improvise a tourniquet for her tight. With her body starting to warm up, her open cut started to bleed again.

"Yup."

"Someone might have seen you entering the building and if they did not, the three people that had to secure the area, now lying unconscious on the ground surely attracted their attention."

Ten Ten slowed her pacing to let the Sound agent to fall into steps with her, aware of her injuries. She thanked all the Heavens she did not have to support her body as well, either ways they were in trouble.

"At least I have not spotted any firearms. I think they refrain from using them in a crowded city like Tokyo afraid to not catch the Police`s attention."

"I agree. Do you have a gun?"

"I do."

"That`s good."

"How about you?"

They were already at the exit, both woman reading each other`s minds. Of course there was going to be a welcome party waiting for them once they were to exit the building and the anticipation made the adrenaline rush through her veins and blood boil. No matter how hurt Sakura was, she knew she had to help her CIA colleague.

"I am afraid I used all the needles on my previous fight and I left my weapon at home."

"Heh…smart move."

"Well, being captured by a gang of drug dealers was not on my agenda today." Sakura would have felt terribly insulted by the obvious mocking tone Ten Ten used, but she was painfully right.

It was her stupidity to roam on the streets without her Bo Staff. Maybe she should take on firearms like her Akatsuki colleagues instead…

"I know you are in no condition to fight." Ten Ten halted her movements when they close to the exit opened door, already hearing all the commotion outside.

"I am aware." Much to the chocolate eyed agent`s stupor, Sakura took one step in front of her, straightening her spine, taking few sharp breaths, in a rhythm she recognized as being a quick yoga exercise to force out inner strength to come to light. It was a similar exercise to Neji`s combat moves.

Her eyes widened and her lips parted. Ten Ten did not have any joined mission with the emerald courageous eyed woman, but it seemed like the stories of her fighting despite of her injured state like a robot and saving her colleagues were true.

"…But I cannot stay out of this and let you do all the work."

Without further notice, Sakura cut the distance between her and the door and exited the building with Ten Ten following her suit.

And it was just like they have predicted. A gang of smirking and laughing men were waiting for them outside, rubbing their hands together and pointing at their weakened state.

They were not five or ten…not even twenty…

"Thirty motherfuckers…"Ten Ten could not contain a smirk to grace her beautiful face. It was ridiculous. Even she knew they had no chance in taking them thirty men armed with thick sticks and crowbars.

So they truly refrained from using firearms to not attract attention. At least they were lucky on that one. Although luck would have been a little forced in the context.

Sakura`s emerald eyes darted to the crowd, mentally calculating her and Ten Ten`s strength, comparing to their own, as well as their weapons of choice and surrounding area.

"Where is your car?"

"A block away from here."

"We have to get there if we want to escape this alive."

"That…if we can pass through all of them, which I seriously doubt."

The two agents took some steps in the direction of the really amused men. They were all tall and fit and the way the two ladies were proudly facing them like they were super heroes in mangas, without even batting an eyelash or cowering in fear was both fascinating and laughable.

Some of them were cracking their necks and prepared their weapons, they too getting closer to Ten Ten and Sakura. The two CIA agents stopped at ten meters far from the assembly, their stares hard. Inwardly, Ten Ten was cursing herself for dying without screaming at the top of her lungs at Sakura how much she hated her for disclosing Naruto`s identity to Suigetsu.

"Are you always that negativist?"

Ten Ten turned her head to look at Sakura not believing herself the said woman was smirking at the men in front of her like she was crazy.

Did she really think she could have taken thirty men down by herself in her current state, or being delusional was a required skill to join the Sound?

"Are you insane?"

"Maybe. But it takes a certain level of insanity to come this far. And I think it is time for you to take a step forward and break your own rules if you ever dream to surpass me some day, Ten Ten."

Chestnut eyes widened in shock when Sakura`s words echoed through her mind, because deep inside she knew the pink haired woman was right. So all that time, Athena knew exactly how she felt, but did not say anything to argue with her.

"This is impossible. Even for you."

"Have you ever accomplished something you deemed impossible?"

The female Akatsuki member returned her attention to the men in front of her that were eying the two agents like they were inferior and weak and that did not sit right with her.

Ten Ten was a feminist who hated the men`s guts to not take into account the opposite sex`s strength and value. She fisted her hands and clenched her jaw in fury.

"No."

"Then I think it is time to experience new things."

Without wasting anymore time, the Sound assassin slipped her hand into her pocket, pulled out the small bag with the drug she stolen from the cold room and opened it, inhaling the white powder, while keeping her eyes shut, much to her CIA colleague's and the other men's bewilderment.

It was absolutely insane what she did, but it was the only chance they have got. If Sakura was right, that mixture of powerful drugs would give her the necessary intoxicated state to gain her strength back and beat those people to a pulp, saving both her and Ten Ten`s assess…then pay the hospital a visit for chelation therapy.

She was not that worried because she knew the medicine she ingested would prevent the drug to cause degeneration of her brain cells and cleanse her body faster.

It did not take much for her to feel the power rushing through her every fiber, her aura changing completely, like her body was not even aware of the pain.

The emerald eyed girl started to laugh like a demented woman, throwing her head backwards, her sinister throaty voice piercing through the night, slightly scaring her audience. The men stopped their movements, throwing glances at one another, not quite sure of what to do.

"Let the fun begin." And without even waiting for Ten Ten to snap out of her stupor, the Sound assassin darted straight ahead, taking the drug dealers that were closer to her by surprise and performing an aerial kick similar to what Sasuke did on the mountain, knocked out two of them, not even wasting time in turning her attention to the others, throwing kicks and well aimed punches at everyone that got close to her.

Mouth agape in puzzlement, the Akatsuki female member took out her gun, mentally counting the ammunition she had left and shoot in the opposite direction from where Sakura was doing magic to the rider`s figures, with flawless karate movements, and managed to kill at least six approaching armed men.

When she realized she had no more bullets, the chestnut eyed woman blinked twice to make sure that was truly happening and joined the fight.

Soon the silence of the night turned into a roar of grating, crackling or popping bones or joints, coming from the fighting crowd.

Although she felt like floating on a rainbow made of candies and honey, Sakura knew all to well that her euphoric state was not going to last longer, so she tried her best to end her fight as quick as possible.

She put down a man that attacked her suddenly with a well placed fore-knuckle-fist straight punch on his sternum, after paring his snap kick meant at her head with an upper block, the said man stumbling back in pain, blood emerging from his mouth.

A quick glance at her CIA colleague assured her of the fact that Ten Ten was doing good in her fight, because she had some concealed weapons and the sight of her skillfully slipping senbons in the attacker`s pressure points, in between her hand on hand techniques made her smirk. That woman was not bad.

Sakura took a peek over her shoulder to prevent the approaching rider to hit her back with a thick bat, by pivoting on her right foot to gain speed and strength and performing a forearm pressing block, making him drop his gun and stop his movements. A thrust kick to his ankle made the man lose balance and bent his knee, giving Sakura the chance to twist his arm and break the bone with a crack.

It was getting harder for her to maintain balance because of the drugs and injuries and having to block the hard surface of the wood and metal of their bats and crowbars was taking a toll on her.

She had a deep bruise on her left forearm because of a hit she was not able to doge in time and the pain was throbbing, even in her intoxicated state. She was heavily panting feeling chills down her spine.

A loud piercing scream attracted her attention for a moment coming from Ten Ten who managed to take on two attackers coming from her front, with a hook kick, striking with her heel from her right side, right in front of the first one's head, throwing his body over the other behind him, both hitting the ground unconscious, the sound of broken bones and pierced skin echoing through everyone's ears.

Sakura wanted to applaud the brilliant executed move. Truly, she has realized the woman she loathed that much was skilled and it was no deny in that, but she lacked inner confidence…just like the Sound agent.

Maybe that would have explained her rude attitude. She let her jadeite eyes scan her surroundings, taking a mental note of the decreasing number in attackers. There were already ten more left.

Sakura performed a powerful roundhouse kick on the man in front of her, breaking his ribcages and by lowering her body a bit to redirect her energy from her hips to her arms, with a double-fist punch at his face and chest, sent his body straight on the floor, unconscious, sprinting in the direction of her CIA colleague, who was busy avoiding some kicks coming from two riders at once, not aware of a third approaching her from behind.

Ten Ten stopped an attack aimed at her chest with a bent-wrist block then immediately hitting her opponent's trachea with her knuckles, cutting his wind supply and raised her chestnut eyes to the other men that descended his arms and attempted to hit her head with his bat, with an upper block stopping the deadly attack, then kicked him right in his groin, making him let out a sharp scream in agony, dropping on the floor.

Without even turning her head over her shoulders to follow the upcoming attacked meant to break her spin and relying on her hearing and other senses, the Akatsuki agent gracefully lowered her body on the ground level and performed a succession of low, middle and high reverse roundhouse kicks, successfully stopping the attacker that came from her behind, breaking his leg and punching him straight in his face, his body flying backwards, barely avoiding Sakura`s approaching one, landing back on her left leg, in a fighting stance, letting her eyes rest on the pink haired maid's emerald ones.

The Sound assassin came closer to the Akatsuki female agent and pressed her back on the said woman one's she too taking a fighting stance, slightly surprised Ten Ten did not protest at her bold movement. It was not like they were friends or something.

"Six more to go…three for each."

The chestnut eyed woman let out a loud snort, panting and sweating like she has run the marathon. Bruises and cuts were forming down her arms and legs and she had a bruised cheek and a bleeding lip.

A quick peek around assured her that was truly happening. She and the mighty detested by all her branch colleagues pink haired Athena took down 24 armed men by their hands. It was insane.

"That would be fair I guess."

The last remaining men were too having troubles in understanding what was happening in the first place and how come two smaller and weaker women basically humiliated all their small organization.

Nonetheless, without dwelling much on the fact, all six of them attacked the two standing back to back women at the same time.

"Two kicks…this is all I need to take three of them down."

Never removing her eyes from her opponents Ten Ten let out a small laugh, having the time of her life. Seriously, she did not even know what was crazier: the fact that she had fun in beating a gang of drug dealers that were MEN or the idea of fighting side to side to the person she most loathed.

"And who have you seen being able to take on three people at once with only two kicks, pry telling me?" The answer shocked her even more.

"Sasuke."

"…"

Not waiting for any further invitation, Sakura shut her emerald eyes for a brief, inhaled sharply once lowering her shoulders at the same time and raised her arms at 90 degrees, with her palms facing the ground.

When she felt the necessary discharge of energy washing through her body, the pink haired assassin pushed her body off the ground and performed a 540 gyro crescent kick by taking off, kicking, and landing, the other leg pulled back before the swift landing, hitting two of her opponents with the inside of her foot in mid air.

As soon as she landed, the pink haired assassin bringing her knee in front of her chest, then swung her hip while extending her right kicking leg outward, smacking the man`s stomach with the outside edge of the foot, throwing him backwards, hitting his head in the process, dying right on the spot at the violent impact.

Ten Ten, imitating the gestures of the three left men, let her mouth drop to the ground in awe upon seeing the performance, not quite believing her eyes she had witnessed such an execution, coming from a drugged and injured woman, that spent the last three hours unconscious in a freezing room. Sakura was skilled and she was not going to deny the facts.

Sakura turned her head over her shoulders, throwing a knowing glance at Ten Ten, somehow inspiring her to imitate the move and placing confidence in her heart, her jadeite sparkling eyes beaming with self trust and determination, taking the Akatsuki member by surprise.

She was a mess, but she looked like a Goddess on a battlefield, surrounded by decaying bodies of the fallen enemies.

"Heh…not bad. My turn."

Ten Ten charged forward at the stunned unmoving paralyzed in fear remaining opponents that dropped their weapons in fear, not able to believe their eyes what was happening.

And it only took the chestnut tired woman a 360 degrees turn of her fit body to land her heel on two of the men`s heads, with a perfectly executed spinning flying heel kick and a simple roundhouse kick in the last remaining one`s liver to make him have a taste of the ground.

Sakura clapped her hands, shaking her head. "You could have gained more strength from the speed of the rotation, but I am giving you a 9.85 for the execution."

The Akatsuki agent snorted loudly, turning to face Sakura, arms crossed. "You are crazy, you know that?"

"Yeah, so I have been told."

"C'mon let's get the fuck out of here, I don't want more of them to come."

"Right. Lead the way to your SUV. I need to hit the road to the hospital…you as well."

Ten Ten took small steps in the direction of her car, not far from the place they were, checking on her GPS.

"Naruto and Neji have already contacted the police. They were able to locate us when we exited the building. Your phone and SOS signal was broken, that was the reason it took them so much time."

"…they are too late though…"

Sakura, who had her left arm around her lower abdomen, supporting her body and limping, starting to feel the after effects of the drugs and her injuries, stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Ten Ten halt her movements. What was she doing, they had to get out of there.

Not even turning around to face her, the chocolate eyed woman fisted her hands on her sides and shouted at the top of her lungs, visibly annoyed.

"I HATE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH IT PAINS ME MORE THAN ALL THE INJURIES I HAVE!"

"…Why? Why do you hate me so much? What have I ever done to you to nurture such feelings for me?"

"Because everything is your damn fault! Suigetsu found out about us and it is all because of you!" Ten Ten slightly turned around, facing a heavily panting Sakura her stare heated. She had to tell her or she was going to break down.

"That was not my fault. Don't blame me for what you colleague did out of his own accord."

"And this is precisely what annoys me at you the most! Everyone is basically worshipping you and you don't even deserve all the attention! You are just a whore!"

Sakura furrowed her eyebrows at the accusation, frowning deeply. As if that was the most appropriate moment for them to have that conversation. "How can you say such things about me? You don't even know me!"

"I do! Everyone does!"

"What do they know?"

"Everything! You don't even need to work as hard as us but you deserve all the prizes and the admiration, while the other agents like me struggle everyday to be on the top!"

The pink haired agent smirked at the outraged woman in front of her, shaking her head in disbelief. She had no idea…"You…you don't know what you are talking about…jealousy…just say it you are envy of me instead of bashing me without reason."

Ten Ten cut the distance between her and Sakura, coming right tin front of her, her cognac eyed blazing with unshed emotions, eying her like she hated the mere fact of her existence.

"Do you want me to tell you the truth? Fine. I am going to tell you. I…I am jealous on you all right, but you know why? You…have everything you want in your life. And no matter how much I struggle…I will never be there on the top."

Emerald eyes shot wide in bewilderment. Did the Akatsuki member really confessed her envy towards her and what was she talking about? She started to laugh…carefree. "HAAHAHHAHA…you….HAHAHA….you are crazy!"

"See how you are? You are a hypocrite just like all your colleagues! You think so high of yourself that you view the rest of us like your subordinates and that is something that pisses me off so bad!"

"You know nothing!" The Sound agent was screaming and she was not afraid of whom might have heard her. Ten Ten went silent, not expecting such a reaction. "You say I have everything I want? I am going to tell you…how much I have!"

Sakura came even closer to her CIA colleague, their faces inches apart, her sparkling forest green eyes boring into her cognac widened ones.

"Where do you want me to start? From the moment I run away on the window from the orphanage and lived like a beggar all my childhood and high school, until I met Papa Oro and joined CIA?!

Does not having what to eat for days and being forced to shoplift not to starve to death means everything in your opinion?

How about surviving barefooted during winter, with nothing to cover your trembling body or any source of light, with the only source of warmth being a small candle?"

Small rivers of crystal tears flowed down Sakura`s check, her body trembling at the horrid memories that were still haunting her nightmares, but she did not stop. Ten Ten felt like being stabbed in the heart with a knife.

According to the rumors, Sakura has always lived in luxury as hanging with older men that kept her for sex, in exchange for money, hence the name whore. But to hear such things coming out of her mouth…she felt sick.

And Sakura did not stop. "For years I have suffered from anemia and anorexia, being constantly hospitalized and given IVs not to die, but I did not have enough money to pay the insurance or the bills, so I had to mop the hospital floors or even beg for the money, because no one was willing to give me a job.

All my high school days have been bullied to by the other rich school mates for being a beggar, being beaten up by their much older fuck buddies to the point it was becoming harder for me to keep up with school.

I befriended the janitor to let me stay after school in the library because I could not afford to buy books to do my homework, and I did not have money to pay electricity."

"Stop…" Ten Ten felt her own eyes sting with burning tears, not able to hear more of what Sakura was telling her. All the times…she had no idea.

"I have two lumbar vertebra dislocated because of the constant beatings both from school and streets, because I lived in a deprived neighborhood where only wanted criminals, druggies, alcoholics and whores lived.

I knew how to fight from the orphanage where me and my dead friend suffered the same treatment, but I did not have the necessary energy to put up a decent fight.

I used the scholar ship money from high school to pay for the rent, but food was a luxury. During winters I went as far as to eat a stray cat because I could not fight the tramps for the garbage people threw any longer.

There were many moments I could not take it anymore and tried to end up my life, failing every each time." The emerald eyed woman raised her arms and showed Ten Ten the deep scars she had on her arms.

"I used to cut myself on daily basis, every time ending at the school`s nursery. I befriended the young nurse that took pity on me and found me a job at a local bakery in exchange for coming during breaks and help her sort files, using my sharp brain and good memory.

I met Orochimaru three months later and accepted his offer because I did not have any option left."

"Sakura…"

"I have received many opportunities to go into prostitution, but never in my life have I ever considered the idea of selling my body for money, that would have been disgraceful no matter how you looked at it."

Sakura could not even keep her eyes on her CIA colleague`s once, hear head dropped on the ground, crying loudly. "I am not a whore…I am a virgin…and the first man I ever had intimate contact with…is Sasuke."

The Akatsuki agent was too shocked to even let the slipped out confession confuse take her on surprise. Sakura and her boss? That was huge.

Rivulets of salty liquid poured out of her glimmering eyes, damping her cheeks and lips, mixing with her blood. She did not care about the fact that she was letting her emotions out in front of the woman that hated her so much.

"I…I am an orphan. I have always been alone and suffering. No background or any information of a living relative…I don't even know my family name Ten Ten…Haruno is something made up by me to go well with Sakura.

I faked my personal data to be accepted into high school. The only information I have been able to find out from the orphanage where the parents I have never met dropped me, were my first name and date of birth.

I did not even have inside plumbing to take baths, using the showers from the gym and the liquid soap from the bathroom as shampoo to wash my short hair. Sometimes, when I was too hungry, I begged the canteen lady to let me have the leftovers, but some students realized what I was doing and often put garbage into my locker to laugh at me, calling me beggar."

Ten Ten wanted to cover her ears, not able to hear any more of Sakura`s traumatized childhood. She hated herself for all the bad things she said about the pink haired sobbing lady, unfounded. Neji was right.

Naruto as well. She judged her unfounded. And it was hurting her mind, guilt washing through her system, any negative feelings she had towards her CIA colleague vanishing from her heart.

"Even now…when you say I have everything in my life…I don't have the right words to explain Sasuke why I cannot sleep during the nights, when I am having violent nightmares or why do I almost never eat, because I suffer from bulimia and severe depression.

Tsunade-shishou has threatened me into not engulfing anymore antidepressant pills because it is going to damage my brain cells and slower the neuronal activity…"

Sakura dropped to her knees, covering her face with her palms, crying madly, her all body trembling in shock. She felt like hyperventilating and all her cuts and deep injuries were stinging her.

And she started to howl louder, rivers of tears leaking from her reddened eyes, when she felt a pair of hands engulfing her in a tight embrace, from Ten Ten who kneed in front of her and lost the count of how many times has she whispered the words "Forgive me" to the trembling and panting woman in her arms.

That was the exact scene Naruto and Neji came across, when they and four police cars and one belonging to the INTERPOL came at their location, their eyes wide in awe.

"Neji…I told you aliens were real…"

Author's Note: I truly hope you guys enjoyed Sakura`s and Ten Ten`s little moment, because I tried my best to make it as cheesy as possible and also slip a little action in between. I was dying at the thought of them fighting together.

Of course I will make Suigetsu more involved in the little CIA`s gang activities, he is truly a character I like. Well, Sakura is famous, but INTERPOL and CIA are big organizations, so not all the members know each other, plus Sakura it known among the criminals by her nickname and she came to Tokyo undercover…I do hope this makes sense.

Absolutely Sasuke and Sakura must happen in the manga and I would rather see this happening than Naruto becoming Hokage. Hehe while reading your comment, I actually could imagine a really pissed off Sasuke overhearing their conversation, but it would have been too early for him to do so.

Oh Sasuke is really sexy when possessive and I promise the amount of jealousy is going to increase in the future;) Oh yeah, about the eyes color, hm…interesting question. Well I have two reasons for that: one, the eye colors mirror the character`s emotions in that moment to provide a clearer view of their feelings and second, I find it really boring to use the same adjective to describe them like emerald or onyx, it is not original, so I am doing my best to come up with new ones. I hope you don't mind too much. Let me know if I get too annoying.

Sasuke on a bike…Oh la la…I agree with you, he would look extremely sexy:X I absolutely had the urge to write a scene with him on a motorcycle.

Anyways, thank you for all the reviews and for making time to read my story, following it or favoring it. Love you guys!
