23. Becoming friends - Sakura and Akatsuki

CHAPTER 22

"Auch! Be careful it stings!" Sakura could not believe her emerald tired eyes how incompetent that nurse could have been.

The poor blonde woman had four failed attempts to insert the IV in her right hand, but she simply could not find the vein. The pink haired assassin resisted the urge to bang her head on the wall.

"I am sorry Miss, I am afraid your veins are hidden. I just cannot find the right one to insert the IV."

The middle aged nurse aligned her small finger in the direction of the vein, pressing down Sakura`s already bruised skin, inserting the long needle applying gentle pressure.

"Then how about stop fucking shoving that needle down my barely visible veins, and try the other arms instead!"

Sakura was tired, hungry and exasperated. Just her luck to find a nurse that barely graduated to treat her injuries. She let her head fall on the pillow, shutting her jadeite eyes tightly.

"Y-Yes, I was just about to do so…please show me the other hand." The said nurse looked for accessible veins underside the pink haired agent`s forearm, applying the tourniquet.

"Seriously, how the hell did they let people like you graduate anyways? I swear you are going to make me look like a druggie.

And stop ogling that catheter like it is a mini replica of Orlando Bloom`s face and insert that damn needle already, I don't want all the bacteria from here to have a party in my body!'

"I will insert the needle." That time, the almost trembling woman managed to insert the needle into Sakura`s vein, removed the tourniquet and secured the catheter with a sterile bandage.

"Fuck that looks like a medieval torture device." Naruto was watching mouth agape at the long needle, almost feeling the sharp pain down his own arm and that was precisely the reason why he was rubbing his left arm, trembling.

"This is the exact thing you have said when our literature teacher gave us each a Shakespeare book to study for the exam in the eighth grade." Neji was staying in front of the large opened hospital window, arms crossed, eying Naruto with a small frown.

"Why are you an agent or you are just skillfully faking it? You stupid Uzumaki." A pair of chestnut eyes were taking in the large bandage placed on the Akatsuki female agent`s left shoulder, checking for any flaw in the execution. She found none. Apparently Sakura has been the unlucky one.

"But Tennie, don't tell me you would not be afraid of such a needle I mean c`mon, I am sure there are any other methods to feed people vitamins than this. I am going to complain to the Court of Human Rights."

The blonde Uzumaki has folded his arms in front of his broad chest, eyes solemnly closed, making himself comfortable beside Sakura, much to the nurses` that were treating the two injured females displeasure.

"Naruto…I am stunned you even know the meaning of word vitamins." Ten Ten turned her head over her shoulder, looking in her CIA colleague`s general direction, bored. She was in pain as well and those damn painkillers were not having any effect. Maybe they were expired.

"Actually…he doesn't, but because it is written on Haruno`s IV and he was able to read it. At least we are sure he doesn't suffer from dementia or myopia."

"I think we should consider the dementia part once again, because he is not convincing me."

"HEY! Stop bashing on me you fake excuses of friends!" Naruto let out a high pierced cry in frustration like he was a diva on the red carpet that has found out her dress was upside down.

The Hyuga heir let out a small smirk. Ten Ten let her body lie on her side and pointed her finger at the sun kissed man.

"Then stop making us look bad! Who is going to take us seriously with a face like yours attached to our image?"

"Hmpf…talk all that you want. Like I would ever let such shit anything near me again, after I have been poisoned. I still have red points on my veins from all the IVs I have been given.

Besides…you are the ones making me look bad in front of Sakura-chan." Naruto turner his head over his shoulder and let his cerulean eyes rest on the emerald ones that clashed with his own, eyebrow rose in amusement.

"They are not that bad you know…besides there are other ways to feed someone more efficiently like…inserting a 3cm thick plastic tube down the throat till it reaches the stomach…"

Sakura let out a small giggle when Naruto covered his ears with both hands and jumped of the bed in Neji`s direction.

"Don't tell me, I don't even want to know, this is sadistic! I am going to fill in a complain to to…to the UN!"

The chocolate eyed Akatsuki agent took her bedpan and threw it right into the tanned hysteric man`s head, making him halt his movements.

He lost balance for a moment, but the paled eyed Hyuga heir caught his arm, preventing an accident. The two nurses exchanged quick glances and watched the scene in horror.

When the doctor told them they had to treat injured CIA agents, the nurses have been more than enthusiastic to have such honor, but looking at their bickering made them question their mental sanity.

"Shut the heck up already, you are adding to my already throbbing headache and I swear I am not going to allow any painkiller near me in the next millennia.

This shit is good for nothing. Don't you have any higher dosage for Heaven`s sake, my body is going to sue me!" Ten Ten startled the poor nurse that was busy disinfecting a large cut on her ankle.

"I am afraid no Miss, we are not allowed to inject a higher dosage if the doctor has forbidden such thing."

"Pf…c`mon, no one is going to tell him anyways." The Akatsuki agent could have cared less about what the doctor said. She darted her cognac eyes to the pink haired woman thinking about how bad her injuries were stinging her and how she miraculously withstood such a great suffering to back her up.

Her gaze softened and her heart was paining her. How could she have been able to bash on her without any solid proof and add to her misfortune?

"Ha! And you are telling me not to complain anymore! Just look at you Ten, you are making such a fuss over some minor bruises."

Naruto was massaging his throbbing head, not quite believing that woman was so violent. He should have listened to what Neji told him about her. Poor man had hickeys and bit marks all over his body…even in places that made him shudder.

"Minor bruises?! Do I have to remind you me and Ath…Sakura have taken on thirty men alone and barehanded?

So watch your tongue if you don't want to share their fate!" Upon hearing such a confession, the nurse that was busy taking care of Ten Ten`s injured leg stopped her movements, her amber eyes widened in shock. That was science fiction.

"What are you doing, waiting for Santa`s arrival? Just put a damn bandage over it and get lost, I am sick of staying in this position! Jeez…"

If there was something the Akatsuki agent hated was for people to move at snail pace like they had all the time in the world. And her obvious disbelief was making her furious.

"I still cannot believe you girls actually did it." No, Neji was not shocked…he was petrified. When he, Naruto and the police cars came to the place of the kidnapping and took the sight of thirty lying on the ground drug dealers, some of them unconscious and some dead he stood rooted in his place for a good minute not quite believing it.

And when the ambulance came and took in the two female agent`s health condition, the lavender Hyuga heir was almost tempted to believe Naruto`s words and ask the two agents if they were not indeed replaced with alien replicas.

Thank God, his fiancé had only minor injuries and bruises, but Sakura on the other hand…she was drugged, her thigh was bleeding and all the skin was pierced and the paramedics were informed she has spent three hours in a frozen room, with a deep cut on her temple.

And that lady was able to take down 25 fit riders, armed and all taller and in a better health condition than her…that had insanity written all over it.

Secretly, all the Akatsuki were stunned by Sakura and her performance, all knowing exactly who she was, but neither ever having a clear view of her more than impressive abilities.

No wonder CIA has designated her to guard Sasuke in the very first place, well aware of what they were doing. It looked like that snake man Orochimaru knew what he was doing when he found her and chose to be her mentor.

When the police, supported by two INTERPOL agents assured them they would handle the case, the Akatsuki made sure all the people have been incapacitated and basically jumped in the ambulance, escorting the two females to the Tokyo Hospital, where a doctor that was also dealing with the treatment of police officers, secret agents or military troops handled Ten Ten and Sakura, assisted by his two nurses.

The stoic old man worked professionally, knowing exactly what he was doing. While he was performing an X-Ray on the pink haired Sound agent, he disclosed his little audience that he has been working as a surgeon in a field hospital in Syria, during the war so he had enough experience to qualify him for the job.

He was also very friendly and even advised Naruto to drop the sugar level, because he was acting like an ADHD suffering kid.

"Why so surprised though? That was nothing. I had it worse in Tanzania. When you have to cross those deep rivers, butt naked and covered in leaves and mud, with only a bamboo bat in your mouth and some very friendly crocodiles and poisonous snakes, paying attention to the cannibals hidden in the tall trees, waiting to attack you and eat you alive, with the sole mission of stealing scrolls from the enemy, beating thirty losers barehanded is a walk in the park."

Sakura let her exhausted garnet sparkling eyes follow the small drops of the clear liquid dripping into the IV, feeling all her body burning and not in a pleasant way.

She had bandages on her hip and both arms and bruises all over one could have imagined. Her tight and deep head cut required stitches and the rosette knew she was going to have scars. At least the one from the head could be covered with her hair.

Naruto`s jaw dropped to the floor. "WOW Sakura-chan you are amazing! Since I have been bitten by that damn spider that left me with arachnophobia I am avoiding tropical places like plague!"

"Heh…I lost the count of all the spiders and snakes that bite me." The Sound agent placed her index under her chin in a thinking manner. "And if I remember correctly, once I have slept with a pretty large scorpion on my chest. I wonder why he has not stung me…"

"…you guys…are not normal…"

"Heh…You are hardly one to talk Naruto, since you are one of the people that still sleep with the light on." Suigetsu, who was standing in the doorway, eyed the pair of eyes darted in his direction, his lower lip trapped between his canine.

"Dude…the hell are you doing here?" The Hozuki heir took small steps in the direction of the crowd, coming in between Sakura and Ten Ten`s hospital beds, arms shoved in his pockets. He was dressed in the police`s uniform.

"I must confess Suigetsu, you look almost like a normal person dressed like that. One would even tell you are not the walking amoeba we all know you are."

The chestnut Akatsuki female agent did a quick scan on the shark faced man, smirking at his dumbfounded expression, much to her fiancé`s horror. Let the possessive Hyuga get jealous on such remarks. She was already having fun.

"You on the other hand look like Napoleon after he lost the battle of Waterloo. Don't tell me you guys overdid it with your kinky games." Suigetsu turned his head in Neji`s direction, winking suggestively at him. The Hyuga gave him the finger, not feeling like voicing out his opinion about the imbecile remark.

"You fucker, you are lucky I have run out of things to throw, otherwise your dumb head would be full of holes."

When Ten Ten caught the sight of the Hozuki heir, she felt like dying. Not only was he aware of their identities, but the bastard was handed the case with the drug dealer riders as well, eying them like they were inferior to him in any ways.

"Ash a feisty one huh? You know I don't mind getting rough, but I don't want to play any role in your little BDSM perverted games Tennie. Just call me when your less insane clone is going to be released from the mental hospital."

"What the hell are you doing here by the way? There is no whore in the room for you to satisfy your famous sexual appetite, so get lost because you give me a headache."

Suigetsu patted the chestnut eyed woman on her head, like a proud parent, the said woman shoving his hand away of her body, almost hitting the nurse in the process.

"Why I have been sitting in my small office, bored out of my mind, when I was told about an interesting case, where Cat Woman and her friend Diana from the Justice League moped the floor with a gang of drug dealers.

As far as I am concerned, a preschooler with two buns did not stir the man inside me, but a pair of emerald eyes made me take the first available car and visit this magnificent place that does wonders for your balance and senses."

Neji snorted loudly. "What is this place for you? The yoga gym? Wonders my ass."

"Correction. The only thing that needs wonders in here is my very own suffering ass that hurts like a bitch since an incompetent nurse shoved shot right through my body. I should check for a small hole in the bed as well."

Ten Ten was rubbing her stinging butt, cursing the nurse that gave her a shot like a sailor, not bothered by the present audience.

"Duh…I almost slipped on the stairs on my way here, seriously, what the hell do this people rub the floors with? I figure skated all the way to this room. And the fuck is this stink of iodoform, cos I feel like I am visiting my grandma in Florida.

Honey, if that delicious butt of yours hurts, tell your impotent fiancé to refrain from spanking it so often, because it is going to look like Santa`s own butt."

"Fuck you Suigetsu."

"With pleasure. But you have to wait in line. Women want me all over the place."

"That is really…interesting. I do find the conversation…mentally stimulating." Sakura attracted everyone`s attention she too eying the man on her side, quite surprised to find him in her hospital room. She was tired and weak, but those people had an uplifting aura around them that made her feel…warm.

The rosette has spent many days in hospital, especially during her high school days and the feeling of being abandoned in a cold room, surrounded by IVs and the specific smell of disinfectant was haunting her in her sleep. But the situation has changed, because she apparently, befriended the Akatsuki gang…and the smirking INTERPOL agent.

"Don't listen to this perverts talking Sakura-chan, their brains only work for a limited amount of time and now they run out of batteries."

"The things you run out of Naruto…are man hormones and insults. Seriously dude, go fuck some hot chick and when you come back, tell us if you feel illuminated." Suigetsu threw his head backwards, laughing at his friend`s misfortune and dumb looking face.

"Hey! Don't put me on the same level as you because I am a delicate being with moral values. Beside, I don't want to steal your ideal job Suigetsu.

Why don't you resign from the INTERPOL troops and get a job in a night club as a stripper instead? At least you would be able to put to work the only part of your body that does not suffer from Parkinson.

Although you kind of lack in the department as well…" The Uzumaki heir pointed at Suigetsu`s dick, suggestively. His friend gave him the finger.

"Dude…if you are here, why don't you ask some willing doctor to perform a lobotomy on your empty brain? Maybe they will be able to find that neuron that lost his way and cries in some dark corner, stuck down you neck."

"I swear you guys…are giving me a total headache." Neji pinched the bridge of his nose, not quite bothering to hide his annoyed state.

Leave it to Suigetsu to come and stir the blonde idiot even more. It was in that moment the Hyuga felt something close to pity for the raven haired Uchiha.

"Dude…I am totally sorry you and your deprived little agent fiancé are not able to get some right here and live another of your questionable fantasies with the nurse and the doctor, but you are always ruining all our fun. I swear you are worse than Sasuke sometimes and he is a clinical case."

At the sound of her boss` name, Sakura`s forest green eyes shot open wide, cursing loudly. "Fuck that! Sasuke..." She rubbed her face with her palms, almost forgetting about the IV on her vein. "…Oh My God I totally forgot about him…"

"I find this difficult to believe…"

"Is something the matter Sakura-chan? Did the Teme do something nasty again? Cos I am not ashamed to go and beat the crap out of his ass."

"No you…you don't understand, I cannot stay in here, I have to go." Both nurses halted in their movements, eying Sakura suspiciously. The other agents were all having their eyebrows raised in question, urging the pink haired maid undercover to go on with whatever she had to say.

"Go…where? Are you nuts? Look at you, you look like a dead bride, coming out from a pool of blood in a horror movie." Ten Ten could not understand what was Sakura`s problem. She was basically speaking and she looked really bad.

And if not for her confession, the chestnut agent would have overlooked the marks on her arms and her fragile looking body. She had problems and big ones.

"I know, but how am I going to explain to him my absence?! As if I don't have enough of his mistrust already."

The Sound agent fixed the nurse that was checking her IV with a hard stare, signaling the mid aged woman she was not playing games with her. "How much do I have to stay in here?"

"The doctor said if you don't develop any further complications…giving your deep cut on the thigh and the duration of the chelation therapy…Four day at most."

The nurse let her dark eyes rest on Sakura`s much smaller frame, pitying the suffering young agent. After the doctor put the diagnosis on her, the woman could not believe the amount of physical pain such a delicate lady was able to sustain.

Sakura let her head hit the pillow, pouting like a young kid. "No! I cannot stay in here so much time! I honestly ran out of lies to serve him!"

"Why don't I give him a call and tell him you have been involved in a car crash?" Suigetsu eyed the woman from the hospital bad, his purple eyes softening at the sight of her. He knew exactly what she was going through, with Sasuke beside her and a bunch of problems involving drug dealers and crazy riders.

"That would be a good idea that crossed my mind but you have no idea how insightful he can be. Everyday he discovers more and more things about me and I am afraid one day he is going to find out about me working for the Sound.

If he finds out someone hit me with the car, he is going to come here running and assault me with questions about the identity of the driver and my health state.

Not to say Ten Ten is in the same room and sure as hell we are not miraculously sharing a hospital room at the same time. Also, how would I be able to explain the fact that I left his home in the middle of the night?"

Sakura knew that time she screwed it up. If there has been another situation like the one from the swimming place, maybe she could have come up with something to cover her unexplainable presence in there, but that time, being hospitalized was bad thing. Not only that, but she had bruises and cuts all over her body.

"This is nasty, I admit. But I don't know what advice to give you Haruno." Neji was more than grateful for Sakura backing his fiancé up in fighting with all those men in her injured state, he too feeling pity towards the scared agent. He knew how Sasuke was and she was right. It was a tight situation.

"Ok dude, I don't think that helped her that much. Sakura…call me crazy but I think you should pull yourself together and…tell him everything."

Suigetsu was stunned such words came out of his mouth, but that was the only viable solution he found in that moment. Three jaws hit the floor not quite believing what their friend was saying.

"…Are you nuts Suigetsu? I cannot tell Sasuke I work for the CIA, that would be a disaster, he is going to throw me outside in an instant and I can kiss my chances to guard him goodbye!"

"That…is something you don't know in the very first place. Sasuke is a total arrogant jerk, but his actions are unpredictable.

Besides…we all know he has a thing for you so I doubt he is going to give up on you that fast." The Hozuki heir was deadly serious, having a pair of emerald eyes fixed on his own, silently questioning his mental state.

"I swear you men are just good for reproduction, your brains only being as helpful as preventing you from banging your empty heads on the power poles, when walking on the streets. Sakura, screw that shit.

Just tell him I have called you in the middle of the night to help with my severe period cramps, because you have deep medical acknowledge.

If he questions you about how did we met, blame it on Naruto. When this idiot is in the equation, Sasuke just says stupid dobe and not questions further."

Honestly, it was not like Ten Ten really thought of she and Sakura being BFFs all of sudden, but she would not lie to herself and say she still hated her.

When she ahs realized how stupid and naïve she has been, in judging without knowing, the chestnut agent decided to give the pink haired woman a chance. Plus the imbecile ideas thrown in her direction was making her blood boil and pulse rise.

"…You would go as far as to lie for me?" Despite the fact that the Sound assassin was absolutely desperate and she had one or two more hours till the morning, her jadeite eyes shot open, not believing that the woman that hated her so many years was willing to go as far as to get involved and even provide a believable idea to cover for her.

Sakura was mentally strangling herself for disclosing all her past suffering and poor life in a nutshell, having a violent breakdown, but it looked like the Akatsuki female agent was having an internal turmoil and decided not to be a bitch and try to be friendly.

Her chestnut eyes that were eying her knowingly assured Sakura of her honest feelings and that made the pink haired maid exhale deeply, feeling things getting easier for her since she had made peace with the Akatsuki gang.

Only if life did not get in her way all the times…

"If you went as far as to reveal how much you have suffered to me and fight alongside when no other living would have done it, yes, I would personally go the that stupid Uchiha and knock some sense into his ridiculous spiked hairstyle.

Only if my butt wont hurt this much…I am going to need fucking physiotherapy to walk normally again." Seriously, Ten Ten felt her all leg going numb. What the hell did they put in that shot anyways?

"Fuck…how about me and Suigetsu call the Teme outside the city and spend some days…somewhere." The sun kissed Akatsuki flailed his arms in the air like he has discovered particles that went twice the lightning speed, hitting Neji on his shoulder, the said Hyuga stumbling.

"BWHAHAHA….because that would totally help. Are you that much of an imbecile or all the disinfectant smell drugged your sole neuron? Where do you think our dear charming arrogant manwhore friend is going to go since that fucking mountain trip is on three days from now?"

"Oh shit I totally forgot about that!"

Naruto slapped his forehead, his mouth agape. He has been so enthusiastic at the idea of spending some time on the mountain with his friend and make fun of the other imbecile rich hair. The Akatsuki agent secretly entertained the idea of Sakura joining them.

"Mountain trip? What are you guys talking about?" Sakura was surprised to hear such news. She has only been informed of the upcoming charity Ball that was postponed, but no one told her about some trip. Three days…she had to get well in three days.

"Did Sasuke not tell you about it?" Suigetsu was surprised that the Sound agent did not know about such an important changed in the schedule. She was supposed to guard him after all…but the change has been sudden and unexpected, so maybe she did not have time to look into the matter.

"He did not….and I am going to chop off his head when I get the heck out of here." The rosette fisted her hands into her messy hair, letting out a strangled moan of frustration. That only complicated things more.

"There has been a change in the initial program. Apparently those retards from the Organizing Committee thought they were going to be smart and not only delayed the Ball, but slipped a totally unwelcome shit trip in the schedule.

All the participants in the Ball that want to join the trips are free to do so. Itachi got me a copy of the list. There are already 33 willing participants and the number is growing."

"Oh shit…where many heirs are gathered…."

"Lorane is as well." It was the Hyuga to voice out the unspoken words. Silence fell upon the members, each of them making their own mental plans. That until one of the nurses spoke:

"Miss Haruno, I have tended all your wounds. Now as you might be aware, you had a large cut on your thigh so you would come to the hospital for a check up until the doctor says it is not a problem anymore.

Then, you are going to be under IV today and tomorrow, because your body is weakened.

I don't want to voice this out loud but you are suffering from anemia. Have you experienced dizziness and fainting in the last months?"

Sakura let her emerald eyes rest on her lap, not quite comfortable of where the subject was going. Sure she has told Ten Ten everything, but there were all the Akatsuki present in the room and she did not want them to take pity on her. She bit her lower lip, closing her eyes for a moment. "Yes."

"Are you having alimentation problems? Like not feeling hungry, or throwing up after meals? Are you skipping meals as well?"

"You can say it bluntly if you want. I am suffering from bulimia nervosa since high school."

Ten Ten felt her eyes sting with unshed tears, not quite able to hear Sakura`s story again. She was certain those confessions were going to haunt her as well.

And the chestnut eyed woman sensed Sakura`s hesitation in letting such sensitive words out of her heart. The fidgeting of her fingers was giving her away. The other three men in the room exchanged worried glances, not quite believing the famous Sound agent was having so many problems.

"This is what the doctor has told me, Miss. We are providing you the nutrients your body lacks through the IV, but we cannot carry on like this forever."

"I know."

"Have you ever been hospitalized and fed through IV?"

"Yes. And before you ask, more than once…I lost the count so I cannot provide you this information accurately, I am sorry."

The older woman exhaled loudly, she too taking notice of the emerald eyed girl`s discomfort. During her career, she had many cases of young women suffering from bulimia and that was precisely the reason the doctor appointed her to take care of the pink haired woman.

"It is not in my intention to offend you Miss, but you are underweight as well. Of course, it is difficult to say giving your extremely fit condition and muscles, but it is not healthy."

"If you are trying to lecture me fuck off because I don't need it. The reason why I am having eating disorder is because of the poverty state I grew up in, not because I am trying to be a skinny model."

The Sound agent wanted to curl into the hospital bed and sleep for a month. She felt her ego taking a big blow, not able to even glance in the direction of the silent agents. The pink haired woman could not look into those pitiful stares, like she was thrown back into the days people on the streets were shaking her heads in disbelief when they passed her. It was too painful.

"I understand. I am sorry Miss. There is also another problem I have to address, although I am not sure if I should do it with audience around. Do you want me to take you to a psychologist tomorrow when we are going to remove the IV?"

"No. Say it here. They know."

"Well…when we tended your wounds, it was impossible not to see the cut marks on your wrists.

You have a good skin if they are not even reddened, but they are quite visible, although you tried to conceal them and they are old. Are you suffering from any mental illnesses?" The question came almost as a whisper, the nurse feeling her own heart sting at the thought of such a young beautiful lady having so many problems.

"Major depression disorder. I am taking antidepressant pills under medical supervision and I practiced Buddhist Vipassana meditation. And no, I do not cut myself anymore."

"Good. Well then, I am well aware you are more than eager to get out of here but given your injuries I am afraid this is going to be your home for the next three days. I am taking my leave.

Please press the emergency button if you feel pain coming back. We have given you painkillers already so there should be no problem. Excuse us."

The two nurses left the hospital room, leaving a stunned crowd of agents eying Sakura intently, all of them having different sort of emotions towards the suffering girl.

"Stop eying me like some sort of newfound species at zoo, it is troublesome. I do not want to see your empathy. Keep that for someone who cares." Sakura folded her arms under her head, facing the blank wall from the ceiling.

"Pity? The only sort of compassion I feel towards your situation is you sharing the same space with the Uchiha. That is enough to drive a sane man crazy. I was wondering if he still has that small cloud over his alienated brooding figure and use wet wipes after everything he touches.

He is freakish like that." There is no way in Hell the Hyuga heir would eye Sakura different from the extraordinary woman she was.

His fiancé has also been an orphan suffering from loneliness so he could relate the two of them up to a point. And the Sound agent was courageous and unfaltering which was admirable.

"Sakura-chan, you do not have to feel ashamed of us in any way. We, because I sure as hell would include Tennie in the sentence, are not only your colleagues, but your friends us well.

No one is going to judge you for who you are and if someone of this losers is going to bother you, I will personally deprive them of some limbs and precious reproduction parts, believe it!"

With an energetic Uzumaki throwing his fist in the air like a superhero, it was impossible for Sakura not to let a small giggle grace her tired face. What was happening to her…was incredible.

And Uzumaki spelled the word friends to her in the most serene and genuine way possible, his deep cerulean eyes shining with assurance. She was not alone. She was not alone in the world anymore. She wanted to cry.

"You are crazy…all of you are crazy! Crazy as fuck."

"But so are you so I guess it makes us your equals." Ten Ten turned around to face Sakura, raising an eyebrow at her like wanting the pink haired woman to confirm her suspicion. Was the mighty Athena still eying them arrogantly as usual? To her stupor, she was not. In fact, her emerald shimmering eyes were grateful.

"…Sure. We are equals…we have always been."

The Hyuga heir was inwardly dancing in victory. If Ten Ten and Sakura made peace, it only meant he was not going to take more shit about how much his fiancé hated the Sound agent and he was not going to be awaken from his peaceful slumber for silly things. He smirked at his fiancé.

"Still…the problem still remains. What about Sasuke?" Suigetsu did not want to be the one to ruin the fun, but he had stuff to do. He only came there to check on his bothersome friends not to do group therapy.

"I don't know. But there is one thing I am sure of…I am sick of lying to him all the times. It is not fair. All we are…is a big lie…his kisses, his touches, everything…"

"Then tell him the truth. Tell him everything and see what happens." No matter how her decision is going to be, Naruto would support Sakura. He swore to her he was going to do so.

Neji could not help but thing that such a major disclosure was going to not be well welcomed by the young heir. "I don't find this as a wise thing, Haruno. Think about the consequences."

"Like something wise ever came out of your stupid mouth. Stop being a conceited arrogant bastard, you stupid Hyuga prick.

Sakura you heard that nurse. In three days you are going to be out of here and when you do so, that Uchiha is going in that boring mountain trip. We only have to look for a solution to cover for you this three days."

"You guys have done more than enough for me, of that I am deeply indebted. From here on, this is my problem to solve. I will try to figure something out."

"Sakura-chan you are not alone anymore, we are here to help. Aren`t we all CIA agents after all? If we do not support each other, then who will?"

"I once agree with Naruto. But don't let this get to your dumb head because you are not going to hear this words from me in this lifetime."

The lavender heir had no problems with his Akatsuki friend`s logic. In fact, that was something Itachi always told them. To let childish things aside and cooperate.

"You must have something in mind, aren't you?" Suigetsu was not that observant as his blonde friend, but he too knew that the woman in front of him was not stupid.

"I do. But I need the phone he gave me. My CIA smart is broken."

"This is going to be no problem for us, right you imbecile?" Suigetsu winked in Naruto`s general direction, their eyes connected in an unknowing way. The managed to read each other`s minds.

"What are you talking about? Don't tell me you are going to slip into Sasuke`s house to bring me my phone?"

Ok, so making peace with the Akatsuki gang was one thing. But to actually see them being willing to risk so much for her was another. Just what were all those strong emotions she started to feel? Were people really able to connect in such amount of time.

"This is exactly the thing we are going to do my dear."

"Why are you both sharing one sole neuron or you bumped your heads in the shower this morning? As if you would be able to slip into the Uchiha`s villa without him seeing you guys." Ten Ten knew who Sasuke was. That man was not one to be taking lightly.

"C`mon Tennie, give us some credit at least. I agree Suigetsu here is a moron, but I assure you this is not a contagious disease. We are waiting for him to head to the Mangekyou then enter the house, go to Sakura-chan`s room and bring her the phone. Simple as that."

"Pff yeah good luck in jumping his fence without attracting attention. I bet he has an ultra super expensive security system as well. It does sounds like him."

Neji smartly stood out of the conversation. He knew his friend would not be as stupid as to trespass the onyx eyed man`s property without a good plan.

"Actually…we are going to enter his house with no problem."

"Key…you have the key to his backdoor." Sakura`s garnet eyes went wide when realization hit her. Those people were really willing to risk their cover for her.

"You what?! Don't tell me you stole his key Naruto because I am going to seriously question your relationship with him.

I warn you I am not going to take part on an eventual wedding between the two of you." There was not way Ten Ten was going to ever understand what kind of friends the three of them were.

"I did not steal it. I only made a copy of it in case of emergency." Naruto slipped his hands in the pockets and pulled out the small key, to make his point valid, much to the Akatsuki female agent`s dismay. She shook her head in disbelief. Her friends were nuts and it was fact.

"What kind of emergency pry telling me?"

"You don't want to see my mom angry when she realizes I have spent my day in town, shitfaced. You know just how much she hates alcoholics."

"….so you go to Sasuke`s house just to escape Kushina-san? Are you imbecile? This is something high school boys do when they don't have enough money to pay for a love hotel and fuck their girlfriends."

"Who said I did not fucked any woman in his house as well? Just don't tell him about that small spot on the living room couch, because I will not hear the end of him and his imported from god only knows where silk and camel linen."

Sakura thought she was going to be sick. "I…am not going…to stay on that couch…ever again!"

"What do you plan on doing with your phone? Do you have something that is going to work?" If there was something Neji absolutely loathed was the idea of his friends having questionable relationships with different kinds of women, and then meet and brag about it.

"I do have some sort of plan which I am sure is not going to work but I hope he is going to overlook it as well. I can tell him I felt really bad because of my eating disorder problems and came to the hospital. The bruises can easily be covered."

"By the way…now that you wear that plastic thing that I must tell you, gives everyone a generous view of your body, your cuts are visible.

But I was not able to spot them back to the swimming pool." That caught everyone`s attention. Indeed, the Hozuki heir was right, Sakura had scars and they were not visible like in that moment. It was true, they were not reddened, but the fine lines of fibrous tissue were still present.

"Ah this…is just thanks to the expensive cosmetics. I use a special expensive Givenchy sun bronzer and a lighter shade of foundation, both water resistant. This is the reason why you were not able to tell…and neither was Sasuke…"

It was in that moment the Sound agent realized both she and her boss were hiding signs of their wrists. She the cuts and he had the moon. She let out a small smile at something so trivial connecting them, much to the Akatsuki agents` questioning stares.

"Smart."

"I think desperate is the proper word, Suigetsu."

"Why are you covering it though? This is part of you after all. It is not something to be ashamed of." Ah the eternal delusional naïve sun kissed Akatsuki member who was so oblivious to the outer world. The emerald eyed agent was envious on his carefree attitude.

"Yeah…but is part of a past I want to overcome. Is not like society is ready to see my scars…or him."

"Well…no one is going to question you on that one anyways. C`mon guys, girls need rest and we have spent enough time in this modern jail, full of unpleasant substances and not so good looking nurses. Man, I cannot believe they don't force them to wear those short length skirts anymore."

"Suigetsu…you should be arrested."

"I could say the same about you dude."

"We are leaving. Sakura leave it to us, we are going to take your phone back. It is in your room? Can you be more specific? Either ways, I will have to roam through your stuff to find it and don't blame me if I find your underwear in the process and take a look at the size of your…"

"It is on my bad and don't you dare Suigetsu. Once was enough to make me snap." If there was something the Sound agent really hated was people to mess with her business and search through her belongings.

She almost punched the security guards in the airports for roaming their hands to her body, in search for that metal thing that kept people waiting in line for 30 minutes.

"I am not sure this is such a good idea…" Neji went to Ten Ten`s bed, placing a short kiss on her lips,barely avoiding a fist to connect with his face. That woman was a beast when she wanted to.

"Oh shut up, you sound just like your uncle. That man even said those words when his daughter was born. The amount of negativism is overwhelming in your family."

"I doubt it has something to do with me dear."

Naruto walked to Sakura and pulled her in a tight bear hug, startling the pink haired agent with such an affectionate display, but she did nothing to stop him, moreover, returning his gesture.

"Don't listen to this bastard Sakura-chan, we are going to take the magic device in no time, after all we are also agents. And I know Teme`s little toys all too well, so there is going to be no problem. You make sure to take all the medicine and eat well."

"Are you encouraging me to eat this hospital food? I thought you wanted me to get better." Sakura pulled away from Naruto, feeling suffocated. Man was that guy strong. But he was friendly and willing to help her. And that made her smile.

"Well no, but I know that shit is better than having a pole shoved down your arm. It gives me the chills."

"What gives me the chills is watch a grown up Akatsuki agent trembling like jelly in the fridge. C`mon, leave the poor girl alone you blonde dumb. We have stuff to do."

All the three men left the hospital room, leaving Ten Ten and Sakura alone. And the Akatsuki member, a mini replica of Anko, did not waste any moment in leaning on her side, arm supporting her head, smirking at Sakura.

"Soo…what is going on between you and Sasuke?"

"What do you mean by that? Nothing of course." Sakura was reminded by the ramblings and her confession about her and her boss and that made her cheeks redden.

Her CIA colleague was also a woman, so hiding such things was impossible. She took the pillow and covered her face, making the chestnut eyed woman laugh. Naruto has been right, this woman was cute and she was not even aware of the fact.

"C`mon Sakura, you can tell me what you have started. What do you mean he is the only man you had any sort of contact with? Did you guys kiss? Don't tell me you did it already!"

"No! We did nothing extreme."

"Nothing extreme? What is that supposed to mean, in terrestrial language?" Sakura let out a muffled cry, not quite liking the fact that the woman that basically hated on her from the beginning of the Universe was getting a bit familiar. Although…she could use some of her vast experience in the field.

"It means…forget it. I don't want to talk about that. At least not when I have a needle shoved down my vein. It is anticlimactic."

"You are one of a kind I swear. Ok, I am not going to nag you."

"Thank you."

"So what is next? Do you truly have a plan out of this? You know, I was serious when I told you I would have no problem in covering up for you. That little Uchiha brat does not scare me."

It was mutual when both agents burst out in laugh, realizing what a blatant lie Ten Ten has let out of her mouth.

"Ok, maybe I do, but that is not the point."

"Hey, who would not be scared…I am too…sometimes…" Of course Sakura knew all too well how dangerous her boss could be when he meant it and she got her proof with the men he managed to incapacitate like it was nothing.

She threw a glance at Ten Ten, wondering why the woman suddenly went silent, but she saw her serene asleep face, realizing she has been given a sleeping pill, leaving the pink haired tired agent think about how much her life has changed in such a short amount of time….and she was still seeing stars in front of her, due to the effect of the drugs.

The doctor told her something about her being given more mixtures while she was unconscious, but in small dosages that were not affecting her body…too much.

But the last thing she had in her vision when she fell on a deep slumber, was Sasuke`s beautiful face and his kisses.

Sasuke`s private villa, 7 am

"Dude, I must tell you, I don't feel really good in barging into my friend`s home like that." Suigetsu entered his onyx eyed brooding friend`s house after Naruto so kindly opened the door, using the key he copied, taking quick glances in all directions, like wanting to make sure no one is going to see them.

"We are not barging man, we are entering like civilized people." Naruto wasted no time in heading to the large stairs that connected the living room with the second floor, having a mental map of the space, since he spent so much time inside the luxury house, his shark faced friend following him suit.

"If by civilized people you mean one that uses copied keys to trespass someone else`s property, than you should revise your vocabulary. Seriously man, I am aware you failed your literature exams two times in high school but to such extent…"

"Look…we are here to help Sakura-chan to keep her cover, so stop bothering me and let me think."

The two agents climbed the stairs, looking for the direction of Sakura`s room, following her indications. And the sun kissed agent almost wanted to laugh at the thought of his dark haired friend giving his maid the room next to his.

"Think about what? Why are you grinning like the idiot you are anyways?"

"Don't you see?" Naruto pointed at Sasuke`s room, a hand on his mouth, attempting to stop more snorts escape his mouth.

The mere thought of them confusing their rooms and enter the other one instead was giving him some ideas that would make Jirayia proud. "Their rooms are close to each other. You know what this mean?"

"That Sasuke`s architect lacked one hell of imagination. Now c`mon, I don't want him to come back and find us in here."

Suigetsu and Naruto waited three hours in their car, across the street for Sasuke to wake up and leave the villa. They were almost certain while the coal eyed Uchiha gets to his company, he was going to secure him in his office and work his brain on his business related problems.

The two men entered the pink haired agent`s bedroom, with the key she has personally given them, with Naruto going straight to the closet and roaming through her clothing, like he was her younger sister that looked for a fancy dress to wear at a party.

Suigetsu came behind him and planted his foot in his ass, successfully pushing his friend into the closet and shut the doors.

"You bastard, open this damn door! Suigetsu you fucker!" Naruto was banging his hands on the wooden surface, feeling chills down his spine at the thought of being trapped in such a small space in complete dark. He was afraid of darkness, like the three years old he was.

"I am not going to let you roam through Sakura`s stuff. This is something major perverts and pedophiles do."

Suigetsu resisted the urge to peek at the gorgeous looking emerald eyed lady`s lingerie, the thought of her wearing the provoking lacy bras and thongs turning him on. But he had more decency than that. Well…honestly he did not have, but the mere thought of making Naruto look like a fool was giving him enough self pleasure.

His pale eyes took a quick glance around, eying the small pink cell phone resting on the bed just like she has been telling them, taking a hold of the device and putting him into his pockets, debating if he should let the tanned Akatsuki agent inside.

Maybe he should, but the idiot was going to break the piece of furniture. He opened the doors abruptly just to make his golden haired friend fly from the closet and land on his face, with his butt hanging on the air, having a navy lace bra hanging on his head.

Not wasting anymore time and acting quickly like the true competent INTERPOL agent he was, the Hozuki heir pulled out his smartphone and took three consecutive pictures with Naruto, wearing Sakura`s underwear on his head as an incriminatory proof, giving him the middle finger and frowning comically. That was blackmail at his finest.

"I am going to kill you."

"Do it and I am going to send this to Sakura or Sasuke. Or both. Let`s see if our dear so obviously it is not even funny in love friend is going to like the idea of you slipping into his home and search through his maid`s lingerie."

If Suigetsu really liked something, was to make fun of his totally opposite in terms of personality friends and laugh at their misfortune.

And if they were arguing over a woman it was all the better. Those two tended to get really heated when in competition. And the snow haired heir knew all to well his both friends had a crush on the beautiful Sound agent, one of them even having deeper feelings for her.

"You wouldn't dare…" Naruto quickly grabbed the piece of clothing from his head, eying the bra intently like he was seeing such things for the first time in his life, studying the size, drooling like a loser. Suigetsu slapped his forehead and started to laugh at his dumb expression.

"Dude…just…there are not enough synonyms for moron to make a complete description of your attitude.

Just put that back and let`s go. Sakura is waiting for us." Not waiting for any reaction, Suigetsu put the bra back into its rightful place, grabbed an unresponsive Akatsuki agent by the collar of his shirt and dragged him out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

"Hey! Let me go you motherfucking asshole, I can walk by myself." Naruto hit his friend on the head just hard enough to make him almost trip on the stairs and run straight to the kitchen, feeling his stomach beg for food. Ten Ten was not even cooking for her fiancé and he was sick of restaurant food. Suigetsu was screaming from the living room.

"Man, are you for real?" He let himself into the kitchen, his purpleish eyes cast on his sun kissed friend, who was half inside the large fridge, a plate with salad and chicken sandwiches were resting and a red apple stuck in his mouth.

He closed the door to the fridge and sit on the kitchen counter, stuffing his face. Suigetsu was shaking his head in disbelief. He should consider changing all the locks in his home…or put some rat baits. Big ones.

"What? I want to see how much of a great cook Sakura-chan is and man is the Teme really lucky, because this is really good."

Naruto even entertained the idea of moving with Sasuke and enjoy his little crush`s food each day, the mere thought of the emerald eyed woman preparing Ramen for him, dressed in that bra he saw was giving him wings…like Red Bull.

"Hopeless. Finish that thing already…oh give me that." Suigetsu grabbed the other sandwich from the plate his friend was holding like it was pure gold and took a large bite, much to Naruto`s horror, leaking his fingers. That was good.

"Dude you are right, this is good."

"I wanted to eat that, thank you very much."

"Who cares? If you want me to shut up and not post the picture on the internet, you have to pay."

"You do realize blackmail is illegal right?"

"This is not blackmail, it is trade. I am trading your non-existent reputation for the tasty sandwich."

"You are fucked up. And they call you an INTERPOL agent…God what is wrong with this society."

"HA! Speaks the CIA agent that has the psychological age of a retard. Just finish that already, you are driving me nuts."

Naruto raised an eyebrow at his friend`s distress, not quite understanding what his problem really was. Suigetsu was the one that has entertained the idea of coming in there and crash Sasuke`s home. So why was he so adamant in leaving the place?

"Dude…why the hurry? I am sure Sakura-chan and Tennie are sleeping soundly, after being so injured. Do you want to wake them up?"

"Call me crazy but…there is something in this house that makes me…nervous…and I don't like the feeling." Indeed, ever since he entered the house, the Hozuki heir could not stop the weird feeling of shoving his fingers in the outlet, his body starting to tremble.

"Huh?! What are you talking about?" Naruto let his cerulean eyes dart around, scanning the surroundings.

Apart from some old weird looking neighbors that were having breakfast on the yard, there was nothing interesting to watch. In his opinion, the whole house basically screamed like his dark friend with a bit of Sakura touch, which was a welcomed change in the scenery.

"Man I dunno how to explain this because it is insane…are you not feeling it, or was this chicken suffering from a mental illness? I feel like being electrocuted."

The sun kissed Uzumaki threw his head back, almost chocking with a piece of bread, laughing like crazy, finding his friend`s anxiety funny as hell.

"Dude bwhahaha that is your own guilty conscience haunting you for all the sins you have done. I heard it happens to perverts like you bwhahaha and you call me insane."

"I know, this is why I am telling you this is crazy so c`mon, lets get the heck out of here, I start to feel the world spinning."

Suigetsu was already heading to the exit, not wanting to spend anymore time in the house. The level of electrical discharge growing to impossible levels.

Just what was with that weird feeling? Electromagnetism? That could be, considering the amount of electronic devices Sasuke had. He was going to ask his maid about that.

"Hey, Suigetsu, wait for me, I forgot my driver`s license at home!"

"Duh…like that is something new."

Same time, Mangekyou HQ, CEO office

Sasuke was pacing through his empty large office, nibbling on his pen, thinking hard.

He has just found out his plan to not let his shares drop their value had some flaws and that was all thanks to another shocking news he heard that morning, when an absolutely panicking secretary Juugo called him at 5 am to let him know three major company heirs have been assassinated in Hawaii, throwing the auction market in crises.

All the morning his phone never stopped calling, from his factories and the other worried investors.

He run a hand through his messy raven locks, rubbing his scalp. That was insanity, whoever was behind all of those assassinations was well aware of where exactly to strike, naming after killing the Wal-mart and Watanabe heirs, they stabbed the owner of a large oil company from Dubai, the sole heir of Samsung and a very prominent Medical Equipment & Supplies company, similar to the Hyuga`s, only larger. In a nutshell, in was hell in the business market at that moment.

The young Uchiha`s only luck was that none of them had stocks at his company, so he was not directly affected like Neji, who bought shares from the medical and supplies company, but nonetheless one company is enough to drag all the others to the bottom on the trade market.

But…despite all his problems related to the work he was not pleased in the slightest to do, Sasuke could not help himself but let his mind drift to his absolutely gorgeous maid and their passionate kisses and touches, and it was making him go crazy…for her, for everything she was.

Never in his life would have he thought there would be a time in his life when a woman would occupy half of his conscience, lulling him into her arms, where he felt he was charged with enough energy to the point he felt dematerialized from the present world and drift straight to higher levels of feelings and emotions.

The onyx eyed heir did not like her…no…that would have been an understatement, he became obsessed with her, with her voice, her amazing scent, her soft pearl white skin, her vibrant eyes, the emotions she poured in every tender gesture and her smile…Sasuke could have sworn he would take a photo of her and print a wallpaper with that absolutely angelic view of her being happy.

That morning, he did not want to wake her up and make her prepare him breakfast, because he realized she was too lacking sleep and was neglecting her meals.

Of course he did not find her body less than perfect, but it was more than visible she lost weight in the time she worked for him and that pained the raven haired man to the point he consider himself screwing the charade with the made and just…be with her.

Knock knock

"Enter." Sasuke shook his head once to chase away the thoughts that started to plague him day and night, and let his eyes dart to his expectant secretary. Poor man could have been a weights lifter with all the files he was asked to bring into his CEO`s office.

"Sir, this are all the files you asked me to bring. All the documents and graphics regarding our stores and investors, as well as the most recent ones coming from Mitsubishi, our partner."

The Uchiha took the first file from the pile and scanned it once, knowing exactly what to look for. He nodded once.

"I see Mitsubishi is not going to raise the custom taxes despite the crises which is good for our shares. Have you called another general meeting? I have some not so good news regarding this month`s dividends."

The mere thought of meeting those absolutely imbeciles and explain them his new strategy was giving the coal eyed man a painful headache.

All they had in mind was how to make money faster, as if their bank accounts could have been higher.

But the people`s craving for more was revolting him. He too craved for more, but it came in the form of a pair of emerald eyes and petal soft rosy lips dancing on his own.

The young heir almost shuddered at the idea of feeling her again into his arms. That dream was right. She as well. Oh the sweet coincidence. He was becoming an addict of his fantasies.

"Yes, they are ready to meet you in Seoul tonight."

"Good. How is the insolvency of the Norwegian company going on?"

"I have good news. Us being their main clients meant the first to take our money back from the selling of their goods.

It was enough to cover the debts they had. The others on the other hand…" Juugo eyed his boss knowingly, not quite wanting to remember how he was almost hit by a glass full of Cola right in the face. Those people were violent.

"Excellent. Let the other kill each other, like the greedy sharks they are. Any words from our factories? Especially the ones in Latin America and China?"

"Ah yes, I have almost forgot. They said the car parts and the gold alloys shipped to them are blending in perfectly and the quality seems to be even higher than the previous one.

They said the Japanese company even provided them instructions how to make our microchip more stable and not let the engine get overheated so quickly."

"That is good. They are professional and that was the main reason why I chose them, much to my dear father`s dismay."

Sasuke would never hear the end of the older Uchiha`s bashings from the moment he found out his son has not listened to his advice to trade with an American company, saying he is going to go bankrupt and drown the entire family in misery and despair.

The young Uchiha was almost tempted to do it and hope his father was not going to stand being a commoner and commit suicide. Then using his genius to make Mangekyou shine again. He almost smirked at the idea.

"Yes Mr. Uchiha I agree. But we have to worry up, because I have been called by the pilot half an our ago. The helicopter is waiting for us."

"Ok." Being announced by the gentle secretary there was a large meeting in South Korea, Sasuke wasted no time in packing some stuff and bring his luggage to his company, being short of time.

He wanted so much to wake Sakura up and tell her goodbye because such things could take even a week, but his heart would not allowing him to do so.

"Oh another thing Sir, the mountain trip has a week delay because one of the three people killed in the unfortunate incident was supposed to participate. The Organizing Committee do not want us to be hypocrites and wait until the funerals are ready."

Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows at that. "A week? That would put the trip five days far from the charity Ball. So we have two days to prepare for it once we come back. Fuck."

"I am sorry sir, the fax has just arrived."

"Ok, fine."

Sasuke was slightly surprised Sakura was not in the kitchen preparing him her tasty sandwiches, like she always did, almost like the emerald enchanting lady knew exactly he was going to be awake, but he considered her being able to finally find her rest, so he let her be.

Although…he was dying for another kiss. He would call her later though and tell her about his urgent business. Maybe plan another surprise nocturne escapade…He inwardly smiled. Yeah, he had the perfect thought, how could that not have crossed his mind earlier.

He went straight to his large office, signed the documents he was supposed to, shoved them into his briefcase, took his luggage, noting Juugo had his own beside him and exited the door, entering the elevator to go to the roof top where the helicopter was waiting. "I hope this shit is not going to take much time…"

1 pm Tokyo hospital

Sakura was taking her time in opening her emerald orbs, blinking rapidly to adjust to the powerful light. Just why the hell were all the lights turned on in the middle of the day anyways?

A quick glance to the window confirmed her thoughts. The sky was covered in gray angry clouds and it was raining like all the Deities up there were crying. "Fuckin depressing…"

The pink haired maid rolled her body to rest on her back, rising up to look at Naruto who was sleeping on the bed in front of her and an Akatsuki female agent who was busy murdering her phone, neither of them taking notice of her awakening.

She vaguely observed she was not that weak, despite her injuries that were hurting and stinging her and the IV has been changed.

Sakura was more scared of the drugs she has been given, but she was not envisioning pink cockroaches clad in Prada and dancing bears which was a good sign that Sasori`s special pill and the chelation therapy was working.

"What exactly are you doing?" Ten Ten, who was sitting on her tummy, probably because her butt was paining her from all the shots she got from the totally unskilled nurses, was having her tongue in between her teeth, laughing like a maniac and murmuring things she did not understood, but the word kill and motherfuckers graced her ears.

The chestnut eyed woman snapped out of her virtual world and rested her eyes on the jadeite ones that were eying her intently, giving her a small grin. "Oh you awake? I am killing zombies and aliens that want to take over the Earth."

Sakura snorted loudly shaking her head in disbelief. The motion made her slightly dizzy and she wondered why, but the answer came as being anemic, bulimic, weakened and hurt. Life was a bitch. "Don't tell me you are a fan of games."

"I am not but someone has to save this world from destruction. Besides, I have managed to beat Naruto`s previous record." Ten Ten gave Sakura a thumb up, like she has discovered a miraculous medicine for cancer, making the woman giggle even more.

In her mind the Sound agent realized that when she did not hated Ten Ten, that woman could be really funny and she was looking at her with warmth in her eyes, like she truly meant her words to forget their rivalry and start anew.

The pink haired maid was shocked when the chocolate eyed woman asked her to train together when she had time, because her fiancé and blonde partner sucked major balls, that were her exact words,

"WHAT?! Someone broke my 2 billion points at Zombie attack?!" Naruto shot up and jumped from the bed, startling both the female agents in the process, losing balance and landing straight on his butt. Two pair of eyes were eying him in disbelief.

Ten Ten calmly took the pillow that was smashing her breast and kindly throw the pretty heavy object into the sun kissed agent`s head, right when he attempted to stand up, sending him to the floor the second time in less than a minute. He threw her what he hoped was a heated glance, pouting comically.

"Just calm the hell down you moron, we are not the only people in here. Besides, it is not my fault you suck so much. I must say Naruto, so many years of your miserable life were wasted on this game and you were only able to complete 60 levels. I am disappointed."

Ten Ten was smirking at her partner`s misfortune, his face being a laughable combination of fury and disbelief. Sakura threw her head backwards, laughing carefree at the Akatsuki agent`s antics.

"No! you broke my own record on my own phone! Tennie you are meannie…yeah, this is your new nickname, Tennie-meannie!"

"Don't you dare…"

Naruto stuck out his tongue at her and went to Sakura`s bed, sitting beside her, pulling her in a brief hug.

"Aww Sakura-chan, have you slept well? Is Tennie-meannie giving you hell?" Naruto let his cerulean worried eyes scan the lady in front of him and he felt his stomach clench painfully. She looked weak and he knew all to well because he met her from before.

"Sakura, head down cos I am going to aim at his face."

"See? You are evil, Neji was right."

Ten Ten frowned at that. So her fiancé was badmouthing her behind her back. Hell was waiting for him when she got out of the hospital.

"Yes and no, she is not." Sakura started to get used to the sun kiss agent`s small compassionate gestures, not bothered by the fact that he was invading her private space at all, on the contrary liking where their friendship was going .

And she made peace with his friends as well. There was only a problem left in the form of…

"Have you brought my stuff?"

"Yeah. Here." Naruto gave Sakura the small pink cell phone, winking suggestively in her direction. Sakura hit his shoulder playfully. Not that she had any force left in her punches.

For some unknown reason, the mere sight of the first gift her boss has given her, was making a goofy smile grace her features, not being able to stop her silly happiness at the thought of him. She felt her face redden considerably and that did not went unnoticed by the Akatsuki gang.

"Thank you Naruto-kun."

"I bet all the points I have managed to gain to Naruto`s imbecile game that the pink fluffy looking phone is a gift from Sasuke."

And the chestnut female agent knew exactly she hit the nail on the head when Sakura hid her face behind Naruto.

That made her take a double look not quite believing how childish and pleasant Athena of the Sound really was when she dropped the cold façade. It was definitely a welcomed change in the scenery.

"It is…but it is only because I lied to him and told him I don't have one to begin with." Sakura felt her cheeks flame. Just what in the world was going on? Those people were just like her friends Karin, Anko and Hidan. Sasori was more serious when he was not drunk.

"BHAHAHA I bet the Teme would have still found a way to give you a present."

"Shut up!"

"Too cute."

"I am not cute."

"Yes you are, and he finds you cute as well." Sakura`s head shot up, eying the sun kissed laughing agent expectantly, like a kid encountering Santa.

"How do you know he finds me cute?"

"He told me when we got together. Where do you think is Suigetsu taking his daily blackmail? Man was epic as hell."

Sakura felt spring bloom on her heart, her whole body being washed with an adrenaline rush at the thought of her feelings being reciprocated and hearing it from his best friend was the confirmation she needed.

She let out a wide smile, gripping the phone at her chest eying the small object like it was some precious jewel. Well in her mind, it was. And she was not ever aware that she was making a fool of herself in front of the Akatsuki.

"He thinks I am cute…"

Ten Ten raised an eyebrow at Sakura, amused to the max. "She is a goner."

The emerald eyed agent caught the sight of a missed call on the screen and flipped the phone open. In all honesty she did not come with a secure back up plan and she had no idea of what she should tell to her boss. She had fifteen missed calls from him and a voice mail.

"Holly shit, I don't think Teme ever called someone so many times, not even his business partners!" Naruto`s eyes went wide as saucers when he leaned to Sakura`s shoulder to watch the screen, not believing what he was seeing. That was the moment when the blonde agent truly realized how much Sasuke cared for Sakura. He would go as far as to say he even loved her.

Sakura pressed the button to listen to the voice mail. She should first hear what Sasuke had to say then try to come up with a backup plan. Whatever that would entitle. And she was trembling at the though of hearing his manly sensual voice again. The way he said her name…

"Sakura, I have an urgent important meeting in Seoul and I am on my way there. I don't know how much would this take. I didn't want to wake you up. Call me when you get the message."

"What did the bastard say, Sakura-chan?"

"He has an important meeting in South Korea and he is on the plane." Sakura let her head hit the pillow, relief washing through her. "I am saved!" She did not even care she has screamed at the top of her lungs, exhaling a breath she did not knew she was holding. Heavens loved her.

"Now that is some luck you have there I admit." Ten Ten found the situation absolutely fabulous. To be saved from such a situation.

"Yeah truly but…I still have to call him back."

"…and what do you plan on doing?"

"Tell him something close to the truth."

Both Akatsuki agents went silent, not aware of the fact that they both mentally agreed to her. Sakura dialed her boss`s number and put the ringing device on her ear. He answered her from the third call.

"Sakura." God he had that sexy way of rolling her name out of his tongue like he was caressing her soul.

"Sasuke, I am sorry I have not answered your calls." She was not aware of the fact that she was gripping the phone tightly, biting her lower lips. Bad idea, because she was reminded by his sensual French kisses. She mentally slapped herself.

"Not a problem. Have you gotten my voice message?"

"Yes. How long would you be in Korea?"

"Why, do you miss me?" It was just obvious from his voice that the raven haired Uchiha was mocking her to no end. Sakura`s ears got the shade of his favorite vegetable. She did not missed him. She was yearning for him. Especially when she felt so out of protection.

"Should I?"

"No. But that would not stop you."

"And what if I say yes?" So engulfed in the conversation, the pink haired agent was not aware of the fact that Naruto had his ear glued to her cheek, trying to listen to the conversation.

He got a phone in the back thrown by Ten Ten who screwed the pain she had in the butt, got off the bed, grabbed him by the hem of the shirt, pulled him out of the bed and gave him some punches.

"Then I would say it is probably going to take me four days, but I might be able to make it in three."

Three days? For the Sound agent, it was brilliant, because she was going to get out of the hospital by then and act like nothing happened.

Of course, she had some deep cuts that needed to be bandaged but she would take care of that while he was at his company. She had to be ready to keep an eye on him when he was going to be at that mountain trip.

"Ok."

She went silent and Sasuke as well. But she cold hear his breath on the other side of the line which assured her he was still on the line.

"Are you all right? You seem nervous." Of course he was able to read through her deception even if he was in another country.

"Yes…no. Sasuke I have to tell you that the reason why I did not answer is because I am not at home."

"Then where are you?"

"Hospital…"

The two Akatsuki members stopped their wrestling match on Ten Ten`s hospital bed and listened to the interesting conversation. Was Sakura really telling Sasuke the truth? They were all ears.

"Why?"

"Last night, after you went to bed I could not sleep so I went for a short walk. But on my way, I have encountered those riders you have beaten to a pulp on the mountain friends. I have been attacked and barely escaped there when the police came."

Sakura knew the implications of what she was confessing and although her voice came more like a whisper, she knew it felt better telling him the truth. The emerald eyed woman truly liked him and she was sick of building their relationship up on a ground of lies.

Sasuke went silent for what seemed like an eternity and she was afraid he was going to go angry at her for a reason she did not know. And that scared. Everyone told her to be honest with the young heir and wait for his reaction, but she vaguely wondered if that would be such a good idea.

"You should have called me the first time, Sakura."

"I did not want to bother you with my problems. You already have yours…"

"Don't be ridiculous. This is serious."

"I am fine now. They all have been arrested. And I was lucky to escape with minor injuries…my ass, this thigh is killing me…" The tone in his voice was dark, sinister and vile, like he was able to hurt someone through the phone. It was crystal clear the thing that bothered him was the fact that she did not announce him in the very first place.

"Were they many?"

And this is where the lie would come. Well…it was not a lie per se, more like she was not telling him half of the story. "Ten."

"…You managed to escape them all, alone?"

"I managed to outrun them until police came. They moved fast."

"Fuck. I should have killed those bastards the very first time."

At that Sakura`s eyes went wide, catching the attention of the Akatsuki members, who exchanged worried glances. The Sound agent`s aura changed from worry to terror. Just what were they talking about?

"Don't say such things. It was not your fault. You did what was right." Sakura felt blood freeze in her veins at the honesty present in her boss` low voice.

Was he truly able to kill them without any remorse? Just how could he have been so serene and say such things with such a normality in his demeanor?

"What did the doctor say? What is your condition?"

"I have few cuts and bruises and I have been given a small dosage of drugs. It looked like our dear chasers were drug dealers. You were right to be suspicious on them." Indeed, the emerald eyed agent realized how fantastic his intuition was.

"That`s all?"

"Yeah." She was not going to tell him about her other problems with the lack of sleep and anemia.

"…Good. Take care of you. If you want I can call my personal doctor to come and check on you. He is the best Japanese surgeon and internist. You have my no-limit credit card to use for everything you need."

"It is ok Sasuke, thank you."

"Just take care of you until I come back."

"You too."

"I am hanging up."

"Bye." Sakura was stunned. She was thorn between asking herself just how many things were not all right with her boss and looking for a solution to make the butterflies in her stomach stop fluttering and make her dizzy.

It was the first time she truly felt it: concern. He was worried for her. Even going as far as to give her access to his bank account and send the best doctor to check on her. She felt fantastic like they were a couple.

"Soooo…Sasuke, huh? You guys on first name stage already?" Ten Ten had a large smirk plastered on her face, hands on her waist, looking at Sakura knowingly.

"I bet he was worried shitless about you Sakura-chan."

"You guys…are giving me a headache."

"I still cannot believe you had the guts to almost tell him the truth."

"I don't want to lie to him anymore. Believe it or not, Sasuke told me parts of his life he told no one, so it is just right for me to be honest with him as well."

"Right."

"Sakura-chan, do you want me to bring you something else? After all, you are going to be here more than Tennie-meannie."

The two nurses that were treating the two female CIA agents came that morning to check on the girls. Ten Ten is going to be discharged the next day, but Sakura was going to be there for at least two more days, depending on her condition.

The doctor said it is enough for her deep thigh cut to get better, but he was worried of her mental illnesses and weakened state, so they still kept her on IV for one more day, much to her horror.

"I would need some pajamas, my shampoo and more importantly, my laptop. I have to call Oro and Tsunade-shishou."

"No problem, I am going to bring them to you."

"Thanks a bunch Naruto-kun. Don't use the back door, I am giving you the key from the front door. We don't want that old couple that stays glued to the back yard to get suspicious."

"Are they always having meals on the porch?"

"Yeah. And they have seen my dancing butt naked in the living room…with Sasuke`s blanket."

"Shock."

"I swear you guys are picture perfect."

"In terms of what?"

"Craziness."

"Pfff yeah, like you Tennie are entitled to talk about being insane. Just what the hell are those perverted toys I have found under the bed and what is that sticky white thing covering them?"

Sakura felt like throwing up. Ten Ten was beat red.

"You roamed through my room?! I am going to kill you."

"Don't tell me…yack! You guys are disgusting! Hey wait a sec…hellppppp!"

Ten Ten bolted out of the bad, one slipper in her hand, running after her sun kissed colleague, hitting his head repeatedly. They exited the room creating a fuss on the hall. Sakura slapped her forehead. Those people…

Same time, Tokyo, Yamanaka private villa

Ino was eying her perfect shaped frame in the large bedroom mirror, a beautiful lavender kimono covering her body, her baby blue eyes blazing with fury. Ever since she encountered Sakura in Sasuke`s office she tried in vain to meet the handsome man.

He was always busy or trapped in a meeting, like he was avoiding her on purpose. How was she supposed to seduce him into falling for her if he did not know she existed?

The blonde model took her cell phone and dialed the number she knew by heart, fisting her hand on her golden tresses, annoyed.

"Darling?"

"Dad I need help!"

"Anything for you."

"I was not able to meet Sasuke and I run out of ideas. How much do I have to wait?"

"Until the proper moment comes. And I assure you that is going to be sooner than you expect."

"Why cannot I take part in the upcoming Ball? That would be the perfect opportunity for us to meet."

"I know, but such are orders. Besides…the charity Ball…is going to be the beginning of his end."

Ino`s eyes went wide at her father`s confession. Deep down, she was feeling bad for ruining such a successful businessman that did nothing wrong. "You mean…so quick?"

"We cannot afford to waste anymore time. They have already started to move."

"Those killed rich people from the news…is their doing?"

"Yes sweetheart. And for the plan to be complete, we have to play our parts as well. Don't forget, in the new world, we are going to be one of the rulers."

"Are you sure?"

"I can guarantee."

"Daddy…I am scared." Although she has never been told the whole plan, the young model found some bits of information and she felt like dying when the list of people that had to be killed fell into her hands.

That was insanity and her family was part of an upcoming massacre. All for some twisted ideas.

"Don't be. I need you to be strong. We need you."

"I don't trust them! You should not either."

"I have no choice. They helped us."

"What if we don't succeed? What if Sasuke figures us out?"

"This is not going to happen. He assured me of that."

"He got nothing to lose daddy…the ones to go down…are going to be us."

"Then I am taking all of them with me in the grave if this happens."

Three days later, Tokyo hospital

Sakura was stuffing her face with a large piece of Tiramisu she has managed to hide from the nurse that absolutely forbid her to engulf sweet things and nagged her to eat fruits and vegetables.

Like she was able to live with spinach and potatoes. That woman was observant but she was a Sound agent with good ideas.

At least she was not on IVs anymore and the bruise she had on her left vein was the size of the Tokyo city. Damn that idiot nurse and her lack of skills. Of course she always missed her vein.

The emerald eyed agent looked like a druggie on rehab. At least the cuts she had were fading and the thigh was not burning and stinging her anymore.

She pressed the call button on the laptop, waiting for the CIA secret line to connect her to her blonde busty mentor. Ten Ten has been discharged, so the pink haired maid was alone in the hospital room. Naruto has been coming to her everyday and brought her food.

She got some clothes and toiletries from "Tennie-meannie" who absolutely threatened Naruto with castrating him if he went as far as to roam through her lingerie.

During the time they shared the hospital room, the two female agents become really good friends. They shared parts of their past and talked about the craziest missions together.

Sakura found out her CIA colleague was also an orphan, bullied in high school for being a tomboy, but she had money from her wealthy deceased family.

Also, she laughed out loud when the cognac eyed woman told her about her mission in Africa, where Naruto got bitten by a giant spider and were chased by angry hungry monkeys that hit them with bananas in the head all the way to their Jeep, which of course, run out of gas.

"Sakura!" Tsunade`s face popped out on the screen, purple bags decorating her tired eyes.

"Tsunade-shishou, thanks God, I have tried to reach you for two days! What is going on there?"

"It is a mess in here Cherry, your Papa is not able to track the one who stole our documents and I am sure you found out about other three important heirs being killed which makes thousands of other companies get loans from banks to cover their loss."

"So this is why Sasuke is in Seoul at some company related meeting…I see. Is it that bad? The don't let me have a TV in here and Akatsuki don't have many details as well."

Tsunade raised a delicate eyebrow at that, folding her arms. "Akatsuki?"

Sakura rolled her emerald eyes at the woman`s disbelief. "I befriended the Tokyo gang."

"I find this difficult to believe."

"It is quite the story if you ask me."

"So I have been told. I found out about you and Ten Ten`s performance. 30 drug dealers down in a day. Not bad."

"Heh…no one said we were weak. You should have seen Ten Ten, that woman is Anko`s daughter, I swear."

The brown eyed woman snorted loudly, shaking her head. "I know, they are both insane. By the way, I am not sure if you are aware but Lorane put up a good one on us this time."

"What do you mean?" The sound agent did not like the tone in her master`s voice. Tsunade got serious.

"40 CIA agents have been killed in Egypt, all orchestrated by Lorane. It is hell in here. Tobirama and Orochimaru are basically assaulted with phone calls from each side of the world, to ask for backup, because those agents were supposed to be spread in key points and keep an eye of the biggest criminal organizations."

Sakura`s jaw hit the…hospital bed. She could not believe no one told her such a thing. Oh, she could. She did not have her phone anymore. Damn it.

"What?! 40 CIA agents killed? Oh my God shishou, this is horrible, I don't think something like this ever happened! But how? How did Lorane know where to strike?"

"This is something no one knows for sure honey and when I asked Orochimaru, he told me his guess is there are spies among the CIA. Your Papa also asked Itachi about that and that Uchiha told him he thinks the same. But they have no suspect whatsoever."

"A spy? Among us? Fuck…how do you know it was Lorane the one to kill our agents?"

"They all have the compass sign we all know on their chests and the forensic investigation confirmed the angle of the cut. It is Lorane no doubt."

"This is more than worse. We are here tied up not having a clue on what to do, while they successfully take down both us and the important heirs.

If this goes on, Papa Oro was right. We are going to face an economic crisis soon. I heard Ten Ten talking to Neji Hyuga on the phone. His company had a $2 million dollars loss. They are in deep trouble and only Mangekyou is willing to help them."

"I know all too well Cherry. Trust me, no one here slept for three days in a row. Orochimaru is only drinking coffee and he is stuck in the research lab, trying to look for any relevant clue. All our agents are in missions, except for your demented red headed friend and Hidan, who got shot in the shoulder and is resting."

"Shit, really? I have to give him a call. I already intended to call Karin anyways." Sakura felt her head spinning.

Just what was going on in the world suddenly? Important people were getting killed on daily basis and Lorane started to target them as well. 40 CIA agents murdered was no joke. It was basically a declaration of…war to the humanity. And her friends…

"By the way Sakura, I called the doctor that took care of you and your newfound questionable friend Ten Ten. He was a colleague of mine so don't worry. But he told me some things I did not like, and I am not talking about your thigh or minor scratches."

The pink haired maid lowered her jadeite eyes in shame, biting her lower lip, brushing a strand of her curly hair out of her face.

She knew exactly what Tsunade was talking about, because the CIA doctor was the one to take care of her after Orochimaru found her. She knew everything. "I know what you mean but…"

"No honey, I don't care you realize what you are doing. Why the hell are you neglecting yourself?

Do you want to be fed through IVs all your life? Don't tell me your depression got back and this is the reason why you don't eat, because if things are like that I am going to tell your Papa to go die and take the first flight to Tokyo."

"No, this is not the case here. I am sorry to have made you worried. Is just I don't have time for me since I have to look out for Sasuke."

"Don't you dare lie to me Miss, because I am not senile like Jirayia yet. You are not sleeping, you are not eating and you are pale and weak, it is written all over your pretty face. I bet you have nightmares as well.

Sakura this is ridiculous, don't tell me you started to starve yourself to death again because I am going to snap." Sakura felt hot salty tears burn in the corner of her glistening jadeite eyes, not wanting to deal with that, but there was no point in trying to deny the obvious.

"I don't know what to do Tsunade-shishou, it just happens! It is not that I don't want to eat or sleep, I just cannot do it!

Whenever I see food in front of my eyes I feel like throwing up, which I do sometimes and this is the reason why I almost never have meals with Sasuke and I must confess he observed it too, but decided not to question me.

Also, my doctor told me I suffer from anemia and this makes me weak and dizzy so I took your pills again, but they don't help me too much.

Since my idiot boss is so obsessed with tomatoes I start eating that as well and it helps the iron in my blood rise for a moment, but the lack of sleep is taking a toll on me.

I have nightmares just like you have said, but I don't know what to do about it. I just wake up alone and my all body trembles and I get sweaty."

She made a small pause, to whip the angry tears that threatened to damp her pajama, making Tsunade`s stomach jump of her body and clench at the sight of her beloved student in such a state.

No one was going to lie. She looked really bad and weak, although she was beautiful.

And her bare hands were so skinny it was almost painful to look at her. Of course, having a toned trained body made up for the looks, she looking just like a model on the catwalk, but Tsunade wont be fooled like the others.

The Sound agent truly lived in a world obsessed with kilograms and all the women wanted to look skinny and be taller, but Sakura was obviously not one of them.

"You know that when I was in Ravenna, I would often go sleep with Karin and that was good, but there is no way I can do this anymore in here."

The pink haired agent would not lie. She would love to curl in bed with her handsome boss and have a proper sleep.

And she did not know if he would dislike the idea…it was her childhood trauma: Sakura was lonely and fragile deep inside and she still had the reflexes to always be alert of the tramps and druggies or drunkards that could break the front door and kill her or rape her. So of she slept beside someone else, she felt protected.

That was what she secretly craved for and the only person able to make her feel like she was guarded by the five existent elements, was Sasuke. In his arms, she felt secured and calm.

"Fuck child. You know how much I would like you to come back home. But we don't have any more agents available to send instead. Not now. And there is no one better than you."

"I know and I am not complaining. Sasuke and I get along really good. I would survive…somehow."

"No, you are not alone in this. You befriended Akatsuki of what I am glad, because I know those brats are really kind, especially the loudest blonde idiot one. And I know there is much more going on between you and that Uchiha, but I am not going to question you on that one.

I am not going to overlook the incident Sakura, because I don't want you to take that path again. I am going to talk to my old friend and prescribe you medicine.

Also I am going to write a diet program for you in which I am going to include cereals, fruits and some healthy meals to help you and if I find out you are not following it…"

"Ok ok I promise, I am going to take care of myself Tsunade, just don't kill me!"

"Good. I have to go. That freaking snake man is driving his wife nuts downstairs and there is a mountain of files waiting for us. Call me if you need anything and I mean it. If you feel like talking to someone at 3 am do it. I am here for you dear, don't forget."

"I know shishou. Thank you."

"I love you dear."

"Me too." Tsunade ended the conversation already grabbing a bottle of sake on her way to her CIA colleague, leaving Sakura biting her nails. Why was everyone so obsessed with taking care of here anyways?

She felt so helpless all of sudden. Naruto basically brought her meals everyday and the nurse that was taking care of her followed her in the cafeteria to make sure she is eating, much to her horror.

She could not engulf anything. The emerald eyed woman knew exactly she had problems and big ones, but what could she have done anyways? She called her friend Karin and when she caught the sight of her and Hidan, both having a bottle of Rum in their hands, drunk as hell she hung up.

But of course her red headed friend won't have any of it so she called her back. She had to answer either ways that woman was going to drive her nuts.

"Karin, you are drunk."

"Whhhhhyyyyy hellooooo….there." Sakura slapped her forehead. Just what the hell was her friend doing?

She was only clad in her bra and she had bit marks down her neck and after her intense make out sessions with her boss she new exactly what they were. And she looked in horror at an almost naked CIA colleague. They did not…

"Oh if it isn't the most beautiful Cherry Blossom from the entire…what the fuck happened to your face?" Hidan shoved Karin out of the screen, revealing his bandaged shoulder, grinning at the stunned Sakura.

"I could have asked you the first time you jerk. This is how a woman in hospital looks like."

"Hospital?! Move you imbecile! Oh my God Cherry whoever did this to you can call his all relatives to prepare for the funerals because I am going to murder them with my bare hands!"

Karin was awake in an instant. She might have been drunk but no one messed with her friend in that lifetime and escaped her wrath.

"Relax, I was kidnapped by a bunch of druggies and took hostage. Please don't kill me because Tsunade shishou already gave me hell."

"Sakura…are you ok? Seriously, this manwhore lacking fucker over here is kinda right, you look pretty…skinny.

And giving your beautiful shaped and toned body one would have been fooled, but I am your sister so no such luck in here.

Don't tell me you are depressive again, because if you are, I am telling that insane Orochimaru to go die and take the first flight to Tokyo." Karin would not lie. She was ready to bolt out of the room naked in the direction of the airport.

"You know…shishou told me the exact thing. I am fine. A little bit anemic but fine…"

"Don't worry Sakura, you are still hot as fuck and I am sure that Uchiha fucker takes much pleasure in keeping you around!"

Hidan was winking in her direction, eyebrow rose and pointing at her dumbfounded expression. Sakura looked like she wanted to murder him but couldn't.

"Go to hell Hidan. But be careful, they are going to request you a visa."

"I have already been there darling and it is kind of boring. Only lava, screaming people and no hot chicks."

"Back the heck off you demented sadist. Cherry, I am drunk and I am in this specimen`s company, but the reason you have called me is not to hear my opinion on how you starve yourself to death."

"You are right."

"Stop biting your nails woman this is something only Sasori does and it is bothersome. AUCH! Can you please stop hitting me? Oh wait…you can hit me all you want babe, but later." Hidan got slapped by a violent Karin that was not having any problem in sending the man in hospital again.

"Shut up Hidan, you are scaring her. Tell me Sakura, is it about Sasuke isn't it?"

Ah, Karin knew better. Sakura nodded energetically. "Yeah…"

"So…if you called me, it means you took another important step in whatever relationship you have. Am I right?" Karin folded her hands like she was a queen on her throne, not a naked messy looking woman, sitting on the couch.

"Kind of…"

"Explain. What have you guys done so interesting? Last time I remember, you almost kiss each other."

"Well…things escaladed quickly from there…"

"We have time."

"I…I followed him to a swimming place and things got bad and he saw me there. Akatsuki came and covered for me, but Sasuke was chased by paparazzi so he grabbed me and we run back home, clad in only our bathing suits and when we arrived home, he had a jealousy attack because Naruto-kun told him he called me there."

Karin was having her amber eyes wide opened, processing the information. Hidan was looking at her suspiciously. "Naruto-kun? Oh don't tell me…you befriended the enemy! You Blossom traitor!"

"Hidan, stop exaggerating they really helped me. Ten Ten basically saved my ass three days ago. So stop acting like a bitch and let me be."

"Leave that…what happened next? And don't you dare leave any important detail aside."

"Well he got me pinned on the wall and after I confessed him me and his best friend are in no relationship, he started to kiss me and we felt each other up and it was absolutely maddening then…"

Karin and Hidan were leaning in the direction of the monitor, their eyes wide as saucers, like they were following the climax of a horror movie. Vaguely, the emerald eyed agent realized he was eating popcorn he took out of nowhere. The heck?!

"…Then WHAT?!"

"I fainted in his arms." No joke. Both Karin and Hidan fell on their backs, not believing what Sakura was telling them. Who the hell faints in the middle of an intense make out session with the sexiest man alive?

"BHAHAHAHA perfect move Cherry, let the fucker with the boner of the century hahahaha."

"I cannot believe it Sakura. Couldn't you take in more of his sexiness or what?"

"It is not that. I was already weak and I had a sunstroke as well. But he took care of me.

And then he took me on a ride with his ultra shiny motorcycle on the mountain and I swore I was going to lose my mind, because we kissed like mad and he even sucked on my nipple, can you believe men do such things?"

Karin shook his head in disbelief. Although she observed her virgin friend was more loosen up when talking about such topics which was a good change in the scenery, she was totally oblivious.

"Wait until you find out where else could the put their skillful mouths on my dear."

"I can show you if you want sweety, anytime." Hidan, who was chocking on popcorn upon hearing the conversation, was having the time of his life. He was always mocking Sakura, but he loved her as a friend. They were really close.

"And I can totally show you how I took those men down barehanded Hidan, anytime you want."

"Ah feisty, I like that!"

"You crazy fucker, just get the hell out of my house before I snap and throw your slutty ass myself. So you two basically act like a couple now which is more than perfect. But…the question is: what exactly are you two?"

"I…don't know."

"Friends with benefits." Hidan got a bottle of orange juice in his face, crying in pain. Karin was violent and crazy…and drunk.

"Shut up you freaking Janshinist. What do you mean you don't know? Are you together or not?"

"We are not. But I know he never treated me as a maid."

"Oh my God, he totally views you as his girlfriend!"

"He does?"

"Yeah!"

"Leave that shit. Did you guys fuck or not?"

"No, we did not fuck Hidan."

"Then why the heck are we having this lame conversation?"

"Because not everyone is a crazy obsessed bitch like you loser."

"Look whose talking…Cherry listen. I am sure of a thing and that would be that absolutely smexy boss of yours feels something much more to you than lust, because he totally acts out of his character.

I mean, who the heck would take his maid on a ride and make out intently? Your relationship does not need to even have a name to begin with. You are making your own rules and screw the others."

That got Sakura`s attention. "Our own rules?"

"Yeah, that's right. You two are special people and so is your relationship. Don't look for a name anymore. What happens to you is beautiful Cherry and I see the way your eyes sparkle whenever we talk about him.

He might be a manwhore and a sociopath for all I care, but he is good for you. I approve your relationship!" Karin gave Sakura a thumb up making the emerald eyed agent snort loudly.

"You are crazy as fuck, you know that? But you are right and that is why I totally love you Rin." To prove her point the pink haired assassin embraced her laptop and gave the screen a little kiss. Karin did the same, much to Hidan`s disgust.

"I love you too honey. And so does this idiot."

"By the way, what are you guys doing there? Practicing seduction?"

"Tsunade made me baby-sit his injured ass so we got bored and start playing poker. But we did not to bet on our money, so we decided to play strip poker instead."

"What about the hikeys?"

"Undressing got uninteresting."

"You guys are nuts. And you call yourselves agents. I am more disgusted and I have five more minutes until the lunch break.

And that scary nurse is keeping an eye on me like I am some mental disabled children." Sakura pouted comically absolutely loathing the idea of going to eat.

"Sakura you have to, remember it is your health here. And I sure as hell don't want you to cut yourself or take antidepressants."

"I know. I am hanging up. You guys just…don't do anything too disgusting."

"Only if your red headed bitch friend doesn't kill me instead which I totally don't mind hehe."

Sakura smashed the laptop shut, not quite able to envision their friend`s absolutely kinky games. And they called her and her boss friends with benefits…a loud beep caught her attention.

She got a message from her boss. And the content made her giggle, already feeling better. She was waiting for her doctor to come and tell her if she could indeed leave the hospital that day.

"I am bored."

She quickly wrote him back.

"Me too."

Another message.

"People around are boring."

"I agree." Sakura could not believe her eyes her boss was able to be that…cute and cheesy, sending her messages like they were lovers chatting.

"Feeling better?"

"Yeah."

"Missed me?"

"Have you?"

"I asked first."

"I answered with a question."

"Then answer with yes or no."

"What if I say no?"

"What if I say you did?"

"Are you a telepath now?" Sakura bit her lip, shaking her head in disbelief. It was not the conversation with her maternal figure.

Not even the one with her friends. It was Sasuke the one to bring joy to hear heart again. All the surroundings became fade and all she was thinking about was him. Only him and everything beautiful he meant to her.

"I can be many things. What do you want me to be?"

She wanted to say "my lover" but her friend`s words rung into her head. They did not have to play by the rules, because they were something out of the world.

"What you are now."

"This is not difficult."

"I feel you can be whatever you want."

"What else do you feel?"

"I am alone in here." Ok, she did not want to send that message and the emerald lady was panicking.

Again, the jerk played mind games with her, forcing the answers out of her brain. She slapped her forehead in disbelief, not quite paying attention what was going on around her. She was too engulfed in the conversation.

"I know."

"I did not want to say that. Sorry."

"Yes you did."

"Ok I did. But this is not your problem. It is mine."

"I might be able to help."

"How?" She was on the verge of tears. There was something about his replies that made her…want to let go and cry until hear heart felt no more sadness.

"Tell me what you want."

"Everything! I want everything you have to offer." She knew she was talking to herself, but she was alone in the hospital room, since Ten Ten left. She was honest in her reply though.

"I want to see you."

"Then look at me."

Sakura parted her lips and she lifted her head, feeling her heart explode in her chest.

A pair of onyx scintillating eyes were fixing her forest green almost crying ones, with the warmest emotion he could have given her, making the pink haired maid drop the phone in her lap, gripping the white hospital bed sheet tightly, like wanting to hold on her sanity.

"Sasuke…"

The raven haired Uchiha said absolutely nothing, because no words were able to send Sakura straight to Heaven and back like the amazing full of passion kiss he gave her, when he took a sit on her bad, raised his hand to gently cup he cheek and leaned in to capture her trembling lips with his own, she secretly loved so much.

Author`s Note: I am glad you enjoyed Sasuke and Sakura scene. In all honesty I as slightly afraid you guys will not like that, since I have no experience whatsoever in writing this kind of stuff, so I am trying my best to make my own style. I am better at portraying emotions than physical contact. Oh, you so smartly saw my intention of Sakura feeling protected by Sasuke keke

Well about Sakura`s past and scars, I hope I answered all the questions in this chapter. If not, I am going to do it so please ask me.

About Sasuke finding out of Suigetsu…of course I am going to explain that later, when I am going to disclose more of his past. Don't forget, Sasuke is not an ordinary man either. Maybe he knows much more than you think…

Yeah, of course my intention is to make Sakura slowly realize just what Sasuke is able to, so you are right, the scene with him beating those bikers is not random.

I swear you guys are damn smart, but you know what? I am totally glad such insightful people are reading my story. It makes me proud.

Hope you will enjoy this chapter as well. Again, thank you for the amazing reviews and for reading my story.
