24. Falling in love with Sasuke Uchiha

CHAPTER 23

It was in the moment she felt the soft moist lips of Sasuke, has Sakura realized that even though it was raining outside and the clouds were angry, there was a sunny morning into her heart, gentle caressing her heart with ever candid move the raven haired Uchiha did.

The way he was always surprising her with small gestures, like he knew exactly what she needed was incredible.

The pink haired lady wasted no time in sneaking her arms around her boss` neck, pulling his hard rock body closer to her smaller weakened one, angling her head to deepen the kiss.

She did not even care about the fact that they were in the hospital room where anyone could have barged inside and see them.

Sakura found herself not bothered by the outside world whenever she was in his arms, because the Uchiha was making her feel like touching another reality, far from all the things that made her suffer and surrounding her with all the warmth and tenderness she could have felt.

The emerald eyed agent could not believe how much comfort the warmth radiating from him was bringing her and how much she has missed his unique amazing scent on her skin, engulfing her and making her lose her mind with desire.

Sakura would have never realized how much she wanted him, until she spent three days apart from his handsome face and alluring demeanor.

Basically every fiber in her body screamed for him and he came right at her, not caring if they were a couple or not. Karin knew what she was talking about. They did not need to be what the world wanted them, because they had their own rules.

And the way Sasuke was kissing her like he could not get enough of her rosy lips, playing with her tongue, gently, nibbling her lower lip sensually, then darting inside exploring every part of her hot mouth, felt like wanting to make sure she is really the woman he secretly craved to have in his arms.

The young Uchiha, mindful of her injured state, let his hands slip under her pajama, letting his palms rest on her small back, pulling her even closer to him, like wanting to vanish all the physical distance between them, until they become one.

When he heard his maid was in hospital, something in Sasuke changed to the point he was not sure what stopped him from jumping from the meeting table, straight into his private helicopter and fly back to Tokyo to see her.

Probably his secretary`s hand on his shoulder, who heard his conversation. Three days he could not sleep at the thought of anyone daring to lay a finger on the woman only he was allowed to touch and all the dark thoughts he was able to nurture resurfaced in the form of calling the sole man who would be able to understand him and ask him to take care so that those people were not going to ever see the daylight again.

And he got his confirmation they were going to spend their remaining days in jail, but totally forbade the onyx eyed Uchiha to go and kill them all like he requested.

Seriously, Sasuke was certain nothing would have stopped him from doing so and he would have gladly tainted his already covered in blood hands with their sins and death, just to make sure Sakura was safe.

He silently entered her hospital room, not wanting to startle her and when he caught the sight of her weakened state and the IV pole that thankfully was not attached to her small hand, the coal eyed heir was certain that the emotion he felt into his heart was sadness.

How many years have passed since he last felt like all his insides were crawling in torture and the sight of the only person except his mother he did want to cover in gold and preserve her iconic frame for eternity, in the depths of his mind?

Sakura looked anything but fine and part of the fault was his, because she was neglecting herself to look for him and he knew it.

Her delicate hands were gripping the phone he has given her, looking at the way her sparkling in light emerald eyes he so loved were shining at the sight of the messages he sent her, like she has found her oasis of life in the deserted world.

Was he really making her that happy? Was he worth of all the angelic smiles that graced her stunning features to the point she not even realized she told an imaginary him that she wanted everything he had to offer?

The pink haired lady was not a stupid naïve in search for romance and white roses. No, she was far deeper than that and the way she voiced her secret desires in such an innocent way, saying that she wanted him, all of him, as a person with flaws and qualities, made his head spin and invade with delicate rays, just like the one that were bathing her scintillating eyes and he felt…happy.

He truly was happy to see her, there was no point in denying it, the others be damned. She might have had a secret past and she might have been a commoner, but all that Sasuke cared about in that moment was to kiss her like he kissed no other woman before her.

No one deserved to be touched like her, or kissed like her. A woman like Sakura deserved to be covered in all the flowers her name holds in its meaning and the sweetest of touches like the swan she was. She wanted to see him and the raven haired Uchiha craved for her as well.

There were many things that crossed his mind when he caught the sight of a pair of jadeite brilliant eyes widen at the sight of him, relief washing through her body like she has been waiting for him for centuries, but all he could to was lean in and capture her luscious lips, melting their bodies together in a dance they both learned together.

Sakura pulled apart from the man that was kissing her as if the end of the world was at their door, panting heavily, her plump lips slightly bruised at the pressure he applied to the soft skin, despite her extreme caution not to hurt her, inhaling deeply to engulf the much needed oxygen.

Her emerald eyes were shimmering with limpid salty burning tears, not containing them, relief washing through her and she was not able to let go of all the stress she had felt those three days in hospital alone.

The pink haired maid wanted to cry at the sight of him, her heart filled with infinite joy and she felt she could not contain the amount of happiness the sight of the breathtaking man that was holding her dearly, letting all of it surface at the outside, in the form of tiny rivers of salty liquid framing her high cheeks.

"How come you are always here….when I want to see you?" Sakura was aware she was crying, her hands were trembling but her heart shaped lips were curled in the most beautiful smile she could have mustered, not even bothering to pretend to be strong in front of the onyx eyed heir that was seeing right through her distress.

Sasuke gave her a small smirk, cupping her small reddened check, brushing his thumb over the drops of tears that were leaving her eyes, letting his forehead rest on her own, their noses touching and warm breaths mixing together, in an intimate meaningful contact.

"Because you said I can be anything I want. And you want everything from me." Sakura raised her jadeite eyes to rest on the beautiful jet ones that were burning with emotion, feeling all shy at the thought of him hearing her.

She has not even realized what she was saying. She dropped her hands to his sides, embracing him and let her head rest on his broad shoulder, inhaling deeply to let his smell drunk her senses.

Sasuke found the way she realized her slip of words really cute, knowing exactly why was she avoiding his gaze. How much more innocent could the woman in his arms get, because she was almost like a ghost from another time: untouched by the blemished world, keeping her ingenuity.

"You hear that? Oh God…" Sakura felt the same familiar butterflies rising straight to her throat, when she felt a hand dancing on her skin, well aware of what Sasuke was doing, but she said absolutely nothing and did nothing to stop him, because it was the kind of feather like touch she yearned for so much.

Using his index finger and all the tenderness in the world, the raven haired Uchiha traced every cut and scar he found in his way to his maid`s milky skin, from her hip, stomach, up to her uncovered breast, but refrained to indecently touch her, memorizing everything.

He was also aware of how much she has loss weight since she came to work for him and that burned his mind with rage at the thought of him being responsible in hurting her in any way.

He let his hand graze her small delicate back, taking his time in studying her, then descending his palm to her spine, making Sakura tremble in pleasure. The way he was caressing her was absolutely enchanting and dare she say…lovingly.

Emerald eyes closed and her all senses were on fire, not feeling any pain in that moment. All she could have perceived in that moment, was Sasuke, his amazing forest and rain scent and his burning touches. She did not even care where was he let his hand wander, completely drowned into him.

And the fact that he avoided any sexual caress, just fondling her was making her cry. He cared. So much. It was obvious from the way his breaths on her shoulder were getting sharp whenever his finger brushed a deeper cut or a bigger bruise.

"I heard…because you wanted me to hear it." When he felt a pair of plump warm lips pressed on his pulse, Sasuke was sure he was going to lose it for real.

The feel of her, her amazing feminine body and floral scent, the soft skin under his fingertips and her loving embrace was urging the beast inside him to pin her on the bed and lose himself inside her.

"Are you angry I said it?" That was the last thing that crossed the coal eyed Uchiha in the moment the words passed through his ears. Angry? With her? There was nothing in the world about her that could have made him angry, not in a million years.

"Anything you want me to hear…do not keep it for yourself, Sakura." Sasuke lowered his head and placed a finger under the small chin of his girl, bringing her face closer to his own, descending his lips on her own in a sweet chaste kiss, no tongue involved.

He was even afraid to touch her, that was how tiny she looked like in his arms. The young Uchiha felt the need to hold her forever trapped into his embrace and protect her forever.

Guilt…what a torturous feeling for a man. She exited the house because she could not find sleep. Because of him. He was certain he was driving her nuts.

He could not contain his smirk upon her petal like delicate lips, when he felt the tip of her tongue trace his lower lip, asking for entrance, the raven haired man not wasting any time in parting his mouth to let her enter and taste him, slowly, gently, shyly, in an innocent manner just like she was.

One of his hands was massaging her back softly, avoiding her cuts and the other was twirling strands of her silky locks on his finger, playing in her hair like she did to him in that moment. Even almost skinny and hospitalized, she looked absolutely gorgeous. Like a fairy.

There was no painkiller in the world to cure the pain Sakura had, apart from Sasuke and the feel of his hot body and his lips massaging her own in a lazy manner, because not the physical pain was killing the young agent, but the one from her heart.

And in that moment…she wanted to tell him everything. From the very beginning, without anyone to interfere in their story. No CIA. No Sound. No Lorane. Just the two of them.

Everything real she had in that moment, was her first name and her feelings for him. They pulled apart when they heard a loud cough and a knock on the door.

"Excuse me for interrupting…" The doctor in charge with treating Sakura entered the hospital room Sakura was resting in, refraining from eye the two young people too hard and their intimate moment.

Sakura tried to pull away from Sasuke`s arms, visibly ashamed and alarmed someone has seen them kissing, but a pair of strong muscled arms resting around her waist prevented her from doing so.

She felt her cheeks redden at the thought of that being their first public moment together. What was Sasuke thinking?

"Doctor Nagawa." Sasuke raised his hand to shake the doctor`s in a polite manner, then resuming in embracing the pink haired lady tightly, almost afraid if he let her go she was going to vanish in thin air.

"Mr. Uchiha, how do you do? Miss Haruno, are you feeling better?"

Sakura nodded once, wondering why was Sasuke seem to know to doctor and why was the doctor not speaking Japanese in the very first place, but then she remembered he knew about her cover…"OH MY GOD!"

The emerald eyed girl felt like something has stung her in the butt at the thought of somehow the doctor slipping that particular information about her to Sasuke.

She was mentally panicking and praying even to the God Hidan was worshipping that the old man was having enough brain not to disclose her.

"I do, thank you. Slightly weak, but good."

"I am glad to hear that. Now I am aware you do not have any relative in Japan do you?"

The Sound agent shook her head, lowering her eyes. "No."

The doctor threw a glance at Sasuke who in turn fixed him with a knowing look, nodding once. "Mr. Uchiha, I see you are very…close to Miss Sakura, so I want you to hear this as well, if it is ok with you."

"Of course." Sasuke did not even falter when he answered he was interested in whatever diagnose was the doctor going to reveal, involving the woman in his arms.

She was visibly unconformable with whatever was about to come, like she knew exactly what was wrong with her and she did not want him to hear, but he subtly palmed her abdomen under the bed sheet warming her skin with his touch, calming her.

"Miss Haruno, I have done a complete check up on you and your injuries are looking good.

There are going to be no scars left on your temple and thigh because we used a special balm we have successfully tested that has regenerative properties, so you do not have to worry about the cosmetic aspect.

But…what really worries me and I am sure you are well aware as well, are your anemia and your underweight, hence the dizziness and the urge to faint.

It is not in my intention to judge or be rude to you, but I am sure you understand my concern on your wrist cuts as yourself admitted you have been diagnosticated with major depression disorder."

Sasuke felt bile rise in her throat. Wrist cuts? Depression? The hell? He darted his glance on his maid`s hands, indeed seeing soft scars on her creamy skin. He felt like burning in rage. Has she always suffered like this, all without him having no idea? And how come he was not able to see that, despite their intimate close moments together? Was he going insane for real?

Her answer came as a whisper. "It is true."

"Tell me Miss Haruno, what caused the depressive moods?"

"….childhood trauma." Sakura was certain if Sasuke was to let her go, she was going to break down again.

It was his closeness that placed reassurance into her trembling body and the way he tightened his embrace and was patting her abdomen in a soothing manner was having a calming effect.

He was there and she was not alone anymore. If she wanted the past to stop haunting her, she had to face it and move on. Forgetting it was not an answer.

"I understand. I have medication I would like you to take and a complete diet program with healthy food and nutrients, but you have to take care of you.

At least three meals per day, no exception. There is mandatory for you to gain weight. Also, keep away from stress as well, because that takes a toll on your body and adds to the insomnias I know you suffer from."

"I understand." The Sound agent realized Tsunade has called the doctor and told him everything, because he did not asked her if she took medicine and he had a diet program, probably written by her shishou. She was safe. The doctor has been paying attention not to reveal she was an agent.

The doctor nodded once at the poor weak pink haired agent, knowing exactly she had been involved in a deadly situation, pitying her. He has seen enough deaths on war zones.

"Good. Well I am sure you are aware that starting today, you are discharged. I have brought you the files and your prescription.

Sakura took the files, muttering a small thank you. The doctor nodded once and left the hospital room, being announced by some emergency in the surgery room. As soon as she saw the door closed she let her head hit Sasuke`s broad chest, relishing into his warmth.

"…you didn't have to hear that, Sasuke."

The raven haired Uchiha took the emerald eyed agent`s hands and took a glance at her wrists, studying ever scar she had, from her obvious cuts. Sakura did nothing to stop him. She could not. And she did not want to.

"How did you hide this from me?"

"Cosmetics."

And the Sound agent`s jade eyes glimmered with unshed tears when she felt Sasuke brush his lips over every scar she had, placing soft kisses down her arm, like wanting to chase away her demons.

He was amazing and whoever said something else from him was a dumb that knew nothing. He knew exactly what to do and what to say, in the proper moment and that was something Sakura found astonishing.

The raven haired heir was a mystery to her and everything he did had a clear purpose. And she did not even try to stop a small moan to escape her lips at the tingling sensation she felt down her limbs, at the feel of his hot mouth touching her skin.

"Smart, but unnecessary. Stop hiding, you are fascinating just the way you are."

Sakura`s brain jumped from her head and her system had a shut down. What did he say?

He told her she was fascinating…

If it was possible for the pink haired agent to take back her sanity she would have like to know, because as soon as such confession coming out of her boss` mouth, the emerald eyed assassin turned around abruptly, stood up on her knees, grabbed the hem of his collar and crashed her lips on his own, kissing him like she wanted to eat him alive, with tongue and teeth involved, biting his lips and suckling his tongue, tasting his saliva and his very soul, almost making the stunned man to lose balance and fall off the bad, if not for his reflexes.

Even if Sakura felt her lungs scream for help, she could have cared less about that. Air should wait. Her hormones not.

Her heart exploded in a million of diamonds sparkling in the sun rays at the though of him confessing such a thing, after he displayed his affection for her to the doctor that tended her wounds, not bothered with his image as a famous man and the way he moved his lips on her own and rolled his tongue in her mouth was driving her crazy.

The young Uchiha would not bother to hide his awe at the sight of his maid being absolutely unleashed and basically attacking him, kissing him with such passion and letting all her emotions flow through him like she was invading his mind, replacing his own solitude and darkness with her colorful world, making his vision cloud.

She was totally dominating him like a she-wolf defending her pups, wild, abandoned and sensual and it was making him go crazy for her and that was the reason why he let a growl escape his throat, totally turned on by that side of hers.

Not only was she beautiful, but she could be a seductress as well which was just adding to her charms. Astonishing.

That was what she represented to him. Sasuke shifted their position, pressing her gently on the bed, hovering over her much smaller frame, prompting his body on his knee not to crush her and ate her lips with the same ardor and abandonment like hers, making more moans escape her mouth.

The onyx eyed Uchiha pulled apart from her just enough to make himself understood, totally pleased by their close connection, feeling her full chest brush his own, with every rise of her labored breath.

"I…like this side of you…"

Sakura opened her emerald darkened in lust eyes to look at the face of her boss. She just could not get over how gorgeous looking he really was and the fact that he was above her, looking like the ideal of masculinity, with his silky hair messy and falling carefree on his eyes and parted lips sent electric tiny jolts down her spine, straight to her already moist lower lips, making her vision cloud.

Her body wanted him so much. And so did all parts of her. Mind. Heart and soul. Just him.

"….only this…?

"Only you."

Sasuke let his hand glide under her pajama, caressing her soft velvety milky pearl skin, ascending slowly and sensually to her full rounded breast, palming her and fondling her gently, massaging her mound and rubbing her nipple gentle, feeling her arch her back in response and bit her lower lip, her glimmering garnet gems shutting tight, urging him to continue.

"Ahhh…don't…stop…" If her CIA colleagues and mentor would have seen her now, Sakura was certain they would think she went absolutely nuts, but she did not give a damn because she felt liberated. From her pain. From her struggle. From loneliness. From the world.

She reached perfection of emotions and she could not get enough of the onyx eyed man. Adrenaline was burning in her veins and his hand on her breast, massaging and fondling her, was sending her to the moon and back in a millisecond.

She let her hands slide under his suit pants, not even having time to watch in awe at how good he looked clad like that, grabbing the hem of his white shirt and pulled it out of his pants and not even bothering with the buttons, tore the expensive silky material open, revealing his delicious sculpted torso for her hands to roam freely, exploring him and feeling him up, from his collarbone, down his navel.

And the smirk she got in reply through his kisses assured her he was not bothered by what she did. She was basically making out with what was supposed to be her boss, in the hospital room.

"You truly weren't joking when you said you wanted to see me…" When Sasuke realized what Sakura was doing, he felt like playing in an action movie with two agents in love, wanting to have at least one passionate moment together, before jumping on the window and save the world and her obvious discharge of fervor was making his mind explode with hunger for her and for all that she was: an ethereal dryad emerging from the sparkling tiny crystals of morning dew, dripping into his burning skin in a discharge of electrifying fusion of his deepest desires.

He let go of her succulent plump pink lips to let his mouth meet her erect rosy nipple, leisurely nourishing his crave for her tasty skin, moving his own lips in all the way he could think of, alternating his peace between suckling greedily, like his starve was not going to ever be satisfied and flicking his tongue over the sensitive skin, massaging her other perfect contoured mound in between his long lean fingers, squeezing it and descend to her ribs, all the way down to her tiny waist, coming back with the same sensual motion, making the beautiful lady mollify into his arms, like a snowflake under the gentle warm touch of an innocent small child.

No feminine moans would have been enough to perfectly depict the emotions flourishing into the depths of Sakura`s character at the feel of the man she so much liked abandoning himself willingly to the same passion she was giving herself to and it was making her cry at the powerful emotion she felt towards him in that moment.

"I never joke with such things, Sasuke."

And it was the unknown control she felt flaming under her fingertips with every caress she did that made Sakura slant both her hands erotically from the wide planes of his back muscles to his spine, sinking deeper into his suit pants and boxers, just above his ass, feeling the incredible firm toned roundness of his frame, then tracing her nails around his navel, coming back to his well sculpted abs, urging Sasuke`s movements as well, he too visibly affected with ever sharp inhale he did.

She got wounds that still needed to be handled carefully? It was the last thing present on Sakura`s mind when basically all her trembling in pleasure body was rippling in excitement, the burning pool in the pit of her lower abdomen boiling with the need to be quenched, because it was maddening and it was making her hip shot up to meet the raven haired Uchiha`s one, dancing together and having their own rhythm, adding to the already beyond aroused state they were in.

"Sakura…"

A gentle, but firm hold of Sakura`s hand prevented her from smoothing down his navel to his throbbing in need lower region, reluctantly separating his lips from her floral scented brocade skin, panting heavily, whisking a hand through his rebellious midnight locks, trying to get a hold of himself.

Sasuke was well aware of the need for one another, flowing between them like rapid rivers cascading through the clouds touching rocky cliffs, but they had to stop.

Reluctantly, the pink haired girl removed her hand from Sasuke`s one, nodding once in understanding, ashamed at such display of emotion loss and abandonment, in the most inappropriate place and situation.

"I am…" A perfect synchronized subdued kiss placed upon her quivering lips silenced the emerald eyed lady, stealing the words from her mouth.

"Anything below happy is forbidden to leave your lips, Sakura."

If there is something that Sasuke would not mind to rewind in his head until every neuron and cell in his body got implanted the motion in its genes, was the way his gorgeous swan looking lady threw her arms around his neck, resting her warm temple on his shoulder, pressing her frame ardently on his uncovered able-bodied torso, not even aware of the fact that her lightweight sleeveless blouse was rolled up, revealing most of her deliciously rounded chest.

"…I….am happy." It was impossible to hold on a lucent droplet of tear to sparkle down her chest at the way alleviation flew through her body at the mere presence of her dark eyed boss, holding her firmly into his arms, letting her take relief from his manly scent and amazing taste, in a mix of pure beatitude and serenity.

He was everything…everything she could have asked for in that moment. He took away all her pain with a sole touch and he even gave her more. Anything. Sasuke told her he could be anything and he was honored his promise to her.

"I know." The young Uchiha had his check pressed on the woman in his arm`s soft slightly damp pink hair, inhaling the scent of her, trying to calm his racing heart. She was making this to him whenever they were together and he could not love something more than having her by his side.

"…I want to see you."

"Then look at me." Sakura ascended her chin towards the onyx eyed Uchiha`s face, trapping his sparkling gaze into a charming angelic smile, relishing into his tremendously gorgeous features. It was the best painkiller ever.

"We are not sending messages anymore."

"It depends on your meaning of messages." The emerald eyed agent lifted a well shaped eyebrow at the small smirk Sasuke gave her, questioning his answer.

"What if I don't mean technology?"

"I would say you still would have come up with another way of communicating with me."

"Next time, I am going to send a white dove."

Sakura felt Sasuke holding the hem of her sleeveless blouse, carefully covering her exposed body, taking his time in brushing his knuckles down her creamy snow white skin, in a relaxing manner.

The young heir smirked deviously at her innocent way of letting him know about the need to always finding a way to his world, surprising her with his answer.

"Next time, you are going to be by my side."

"Next time?"

Sakura let her jadeite eyes follow the movements of the coal eyed Uchiha, when he rose from her bed and buttoned what was left from his shirt, shaking his head amused at her boldness, taking his jacket to cover the damage, looking at her knowingly. She felt her cheeks burst into flames at the thought of her being the one responsible.

"There is an upcoming mountain trip organized by my business partners, before the grand Charity Ball. And I want you to come with me."

The Sound agent`s garnet surprised eyes shot open at the realization of him inviting her to officially join him in the trip, not only glad at the fact that she was going to keep an eye on him easier, but at the fact that he wanted her by his side and he was not even hiding it.

It was all written in those impossibly beautiful bottomless pearl black orbs and it only hurried her to jump of the bed, nearly tripping on the IV pole in the process.

"Are you for real?"

Sasuke nodded once, confirming her thoughts.

"Yes. If you want to."

How could she have said no at this? The emerald eyed lady was already done in packing her remaining stuff, trying to find enough space to shove her laptop down her bag. No problem if it was not fitting nicely, because God gifted her with two toned legs to help her case.

The young Uchiha snorted loudly at her, slipping his hand in his pocked to call for his secretary Juugo and let him know he would not return to the company that day. The gentle man knew what he had to do.

The meeting was tiring and they had to do many compromises, but so were their rivals and partners, so it went both ways. The situation was going downhill though, because there were already too many heirs killed and that was only the beginning. Everyone knew.

"I do. But I hope you don't mean right now, because that scary looking nurse is expecting me to eat the last meal in here and I must say she even threatened me into taking my laptop if I don't go to the cafeteria."

Sasuke rose a sharp eyebrow at her, letting his eyes dart to the black laptop resting on the small piece of furniture beside her bad. He saw that the first time he entered the room, but he did not mean to be invasive into her belongings.

Sakura caught his small movement and followed his stare. She returned her emerald eyes to him and answered his silent question. "Naruto left this for me not to get crazy with boredom."

"It sounds like him all right." The idea of his best friend visiting his maid at the hospital was something Sasuke did not like, for obvious reasons.

He knew the man Sakura liked was not the blonde eternally hyperactive friend of his, but he could not stop the rage he felt at the thought of the two of them getting familiar towards each other, although he was grateful he kept Sakura company.

"He came here from time to time and brought me some clothes and toiletries, along with Ten Ten he so kindly introduced to me. Me and, I quote, Tennie-Meannie beat his record at some game I was not bothered to memorize the name of."

Sakura let out a carefree bell like feminine laugh, instantly enlivening the depressing hospital room and threatening to outshine the rainy weather outside and Sasuke could have sworn he was touched by angels at the sight of her.

"Hn…I hope you did not become a games addict like the dobe. He still finds it funny to torture my TV with his passion for dead bodies emerging from the screen."

"Hey…in my defense, you are talking to the woman that managed to kill over one million zombies and green aliens in three days. And I did not even use all my lives." Sakura let her palms rest on her hip, tilting her chin, smiling triumphal at her boss, who in turn could do absolutely nothing to let out a low many laugh, totally startling her.

Ever since Sakura started to work for Sasuke, never once has she heard him laughing and it was not only hot, but joyful as well. It was clearly something he did not do on daily basis and it only made her feel more content at the thought of her being the reason for his chest to vibrate with expressed amusement.

But the raven haired Uchiha could not help it, she was too cute and her reply so innocent and priceless it was almost impossible not to almost want to believe her.

In her mind, the pink haired girl felt good for at least telling him something it was not a complete hidden of the truth, because it was indeed Naruto the one to bring her the laptop and she truly spent three days playing the same game as Ten Ten, even beating her record, much to the cerulean eyed agent horror, who swore as soon as he got home, he was not going to come out of his room without becoming the new champion.

Ten Ten called her the day before to let her know the idiot fell asleep, drooling on his laptop, even going as far as to take a picture of his stupid looking face and send it to her. Sakura as in hysterics for the entire day. She felt her and the chestnut eyed woman getting more familiar with each other.

"I am going to kill that dobe for spreading his childish passion on the others. He should be caged somewhere securely. What are you doing?"

"I already told you. You heard the doc. I need to go down and eat the more than horrible questionable looking vegetables and meat they serve here.

Don't ask me what have I eaten in this three days because I have no idea. I was keeping my eyes shut the entire time to stop the mental images from invading my senses."

"Hn…"

Not even sparing her anymore glances, the charcoal eyed Uchiha, took the bag that was resting on the bed, not giving Sakura any chance to lift the heavy (for her, of course) object and headed to the door, praying to all the gods no one saw them making out in a place meant for suffering in pain people, with the pink haired stunned maid following him suit. Has she even realized she was still in her pajamas?

"Sasuke, what are you doing? Seriously, I need to eat."

They were already in the main hall, both following the direction of the elevator, gaining peeks from the people roaming around, looking like a pair that wanted to elope in the middle of the night.

"You are going to eat."

"B-but the cafeteria is in the opposite wing of the building. Sakura got in the elevator, following Sasuke whenever he intended to get her. Like that even mattered."

"I know. But I have said nothing about the cafeteria."

"Huh?!" When the doors opened, Sakura spotted they were talking firm steps towards the underground parking lot, her handsome hurried boss already having the car keys in his hand, both approaching the shiny fancy looking car.

"Get in." Sakura shook her head once, running a hand through her messy hair, obeying him, climbing in the passenger seat and looking into the mirror at her general appearance. And she realized she was in her hospital pajamas.

Sasuke put her bag into the trunk and got into the driver`s seat, not wasting anymore time in turning the ignition on and making the engine come to life. They were on the streets in no time, losing their track in the heavy traffic at that hour.

"Sasuke…I hope it is home where we are going."

"No."

Sakura raised her eyebrow, turning her head over her shoulder to let her jadeite eyes rest on her boss. He was having a relaxed stance, looking straight ahead.

"Then where are we going?"

"Shopping."

"Pf…hahaha." Sakura did nothing to hide her amusement, bursting into a round of giggles, not quite believing what Sasuke has told her. Shopping, as in shop with Sasuke Uchiha? At the mall? In a public place? Maybe she was living inside an illusion. "…you could not have possibly meant that, do you?"

"Does it sound so funny to you?"

"Yes. Because it is you who said it." Sasuke stepped on the brake, stopping the car at the red signal on the traffic light, titling his head to face a totally entertained Sakura. Inwardly, he was smirking like madly at the way she childishly tried to muffle her laughter, pursing her rosy lips in a comical way, and leaning further into the passenger seat.

"So? Do you thing I don't like to go shopping?"

"Honestly? Yes. I totally don't envision you going shopping. It looks a little bit…to common for a man like you."

Sakura was honest. She could never look the same as a Sasuke wandering through the shelves of clothing or perfumes, in search for a bargain. She was well aware he was ordering much of his personal stuff online.

The rest was bought by her. Sakura was having fun in picking his shower gel and shampoo, smelling different fragrances of man scents, imagining them on Sasuke`s skin, but it did not matter what he used, because his unique scent overtook all the others.

"You are right. I don't like to go shopping. But it does not matter I am not breaking my rules from time to time."

"As in…now?"

"Hn."

"Monosyllabic arrogant kidnapping prick...like they would even allow people like you to enter a mall…" Sakura let her eyes rest in front of her, seeing the traffic light turned green, silently enjoying the way the coal eyed Uchiha maneuvered the swift vehicle through the streets, catching everyone`s attention. Beside him…she felt special. Different.

And it was not the mall the got to, rather than a fancy looking smaller shop that looked exclusivist and hell expensive.

Sasuke parked the Maybach right in the front of the shop, not wasting time in getting out of the car, coming at her side and before she had a chance to open the door, the raven haired Uchiha, like a true gentleman, held the door open for her to climb down, making her watch in awe at his straight posture, almost wanting to shy away at his small smirk. And there were people around watching them and whispering at the more than awkward looking couple.

The Sound agent froze midway, biting her lower lip, not removing her surprised gaze from her boss. "You want me to get off your car?"

"I thought this is obvious."

The emerald eyed girl let her eyes scurry the large boulevard, well aware of her state and slightly bothered by the attention they got from the bypasses. Suddenly, she felt vulnerable and she silently questioned Sasuke`s intentions to make her unconformable.

"…you do realize I am wearing pajamas right now, do you?"

"I am not blind."

"And you still want me to reveal myself to the outside world?"

"Yes."

It was insane in all sorts of ways, but Sakura has gotten used to her boss` unexpected behavior already, so allowing herself to act crazy with him, feeling like a carefree wild teen, got out of the car and came right in front of an expectant Sasuke.

And she swore she could have been naked and not feel bothered by the questioning stares she got, in the moment the raven haired Uchiha secured his car, slipped his palm under her hand and entered the luxury shop, without even throwing a glance at all the stunned people that stopped their movements to look in awe at the couple. Sakura was mentally rolling on the floor laughing at their faces, it was pure epicness.

Without even giving the three rude looking shop assistants any chance to even entertain the idea of implying Sakura was not worth of being their client, Sasuke went straight to the older looking one, addressing her in French to find the "beautiful lady" like Sakura understood he referred to her, the most beautiful cocktail dress they had and he even told them an absurd price they were not allowed to go under. And he even told them to find her matching shoes.

There was a blank in her head, because one moment the pink haired girl was left in the middle of the shop clad in pajamas and the other she was invited to go inside a fancy looking dressing room, with one young lady bringing her a short length little versatile cocktail pale pink dress, simply but carefully cut, made entirely of silk, with an elegant shawl collar and a ribbon to emphasize her perfect waist, just long enough to cover any bruise she had and a pair of ballerina shoes in the same hue as the dress, with two sparkling gemstones attached to the small ribbon they had, complementing the attire.

And when she got out of the dressing room, she got the same reaction from all the people present in the shop, no one quite believing that she was the lady entering the place. An old lady, accompanied by her husband, clapped her hands and could only say in awe:

"Dear God, she is beautiful."

And Sasuke swore he wanted to take her right to one of Suigetsu`s private yachts and vanish from the people`s sight for a week in Bali. He even took a double look not believing his eyes.

Clad in an elegant Louis Vuitton pink dress, with a bit of the 80 years retro touch, emphasizing the classical beauty of her perfect angled frame and face, Sakura looked absolutely divine. In fact, the young Uchiha swore she was not even real to begin with.

He wanted to ask the cashier lady, who was not even able to ogle him like she did the entire time they entered the shop, her eyes widened too at the sight of his maid, if one of the posters came to live and escaped.

Sakura shyly blew a soft curl that was tingling her small nose, letting a genuine small grace her celestial features and advancing towards a rooted in place Sasuke, who looked ready to do something dangerous like push her back into the dressing room and not stop until all their cloths left their bodies and there was not part of her heavenly carved body remained uncovered in his kisses.

"Hn…not bad." What he wanted to say and was mentally chanting in his mind, was something along the lines of "HOLLY MOTHER FREAKING SHIT I WANT YOU SO BAD IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I TAKE YOU HERE IN FONT OF THEM OR IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY CAR", but of course he would not say such things…in public.

Sakura came in front of him, not able to hold his intense gaze anymore, shying her sparkling smiling jadeite eyes away from his coal burning eyes, vaguely aware of all the people that were undressing her with their stares.

It was not like being clad in branded clothes was something new to Sakura who was raiding shops with Karin, buying everything that could have entered their trunks, but the special feel of the moment.

This was not her, along with her two best friends, Karin and the credit card, but a simple maid living a fairytale.

She felt like Ariel the mermaid when she revealed her beauty to the expectant Prince Charming, lulling him to fall in love with her. And that character was raven haired as well. She wanted to slap herself. "What the hell am I thinking about…?!"

And a fairytale was indeed when she heard the price Sasuke, without even caring when throwing his credit card to the stunned cashier lady, not once removing his rapture gaze from her, paid for the modern Cindarella, casually, like he was out buying chewing gum.

Also, his smirk never faded away from his gorgeous looking face when he intertwined their fingers and left the shop stunned, along with a madly blushing Sakura, a crowd of mouth agape rich people that would not even starting to compare to him and a dress and pair of shoes worth no more than $7,020 dollars.

On their way to…probably Monaco, judging after their high class aura, Sakura realized her sneaky totally unpredictable boss somehow changed his ripped shirt with a navy blue one, probably in the time she got dressed as well, not pulling any muscle in her body to contain her eyes to roam at the way the expensive silk fabric was flowing over his ripped body, feeling something deep coiling in the pits of navel, totally having in mind Karin`s perverted stories of she seducing men, by pushing them into the back seat and jump them and hell if she did not want to do the exact thing.

"Like the view, Sakura?"

The said lady was not even aware she leaned her body, as far as the seat belt allowed her, towards a totally serene looking Sasuke, almost bumping her head on his shoulder. She resumed her previous position, hiding her face in a veil of pink locks, totally ashamed. But wasn't the bastard doing the exact thing?

"Hardly. I just thought you have a fly on your hair, that is all."

"Really now? Because it looked like you wanted to eat it rather than study it."

"Think whatever you want. And what is with all this…stunt?" Ok, so not only Sakura totally made out with her gorgeous boss in the hospital room (that was going to fuel Karin`s gossip) from all the places, but she was parading on the Tokyo streets, in a flashy car, with a famous businessman, looking…like she normally should, screaming at Lorane "please come and kill us." Question: did she gave a damn? Answer: no!

Sasuke maintained a cool façade, much to Sakura`s raising despair. "Stunt? I thought people use to call it shopping."

"This is not shopping, it is pure insanity."

"Then be insane."

"You are insane."

"Then Sakura…let us be insane together." It was that tremendously gorgeous smirk he gave her that made Sakura totally unaware that the car came to a halt, and they arrived at their destination.

He told her to be insane…together….together…and the way he casually said it like it was totally normal was doing funny things to Sakura`s general state of mind, because she felt like being hit by soap bubbles, suddenly viewing more faces of the world she lived in. Like she has lived only once, totally overlooking the other possibilities.

"Together…" And when they both got out of the expensive car, Sakura came face to face to what even a foreigner like her recognized to be the most expensive restaurant in Japan. "Wow!"

Insanity…what was insane at the place, was the need of a membership to even enter the place. It was the best of the best. And she was flying trough the door, hand in hand with the most handsome men possible, at a desk for two people somewhere far from the rest.

The emerald eyed girl was in utter shock, not realizing what was happening and what Sasuke`s unexpected action really meant.

They were passing people her boss knew, because they were greeting him and they were eying Sakura intently, wanting to find out who Sasuke`s new girlfriend is, and never once has he separate their hands, walking straight and proud, like he owned the place, to their table.

When they both stood, it was Sakura to speak first: "What are you doing, there are people looking at us?!"

"Why? Are you ashamed to be seen with me?" Sasuke was not even studying the menu, knowing exactly what to order, but he was slightly surprised to see Sakura only scan the content once, then closing the menu.

She was a commoner last time he checked, so why was she not ogling at the dishes or prices like anyone in her place would do?

"I think it has to be the other way around."

"Like you are used to luxury Sakura…" What he did in that day, was a spur of a moment, but his genius mind would not stop function even in that situation. Sasuke was not stupid. He never was.

His maid was patiently waiting for an answer, not even once looking around in awe, like he would expected.

No, far from it. She was having the manners and the grace of a ballerina, perfectly polished like she was having lunch in expensive restaurants on daily basis.

And what really threw him off completely was the way she ordered one of the fanciest dish, in a fluent French, to the famous cook from Lyon that personally came to take their order. "You are not a commoner Sakura, you never were."

When the dishes have been served, Sakura wanted to drop the fork and the knife she was gracefully holding, just like Tsunade has taught her, and attack the absolutely mouth watering looking expensive food, but refrained from doing so and embarrass Sasuke in front of the other people from his circle.

But she understood something: Sasuke could have not predicted her manners, so it only meant he was willing to be seen with whatever version of her she had to show to the world and she felt small relentless ladybirds flitting under her skin and resting on her heart at the mere thought of Sasuke accepting her the way she was.

Not the poor maid. Not the CIA assassin. Not the girl with a fake surname. Just her. Just the way she was.

"This…is far better than what they served in hospital."

"I am sure it is. And I thought you would not enjoy serving it in your hospital room, so I only added a little spiciness in the equation."

Sakura, who was busy gracefully taking a sip of the green tea, chocked on her beverage, not believing what she was hearing. Her emerald eyes went saucers wide, resting on Sasuke`s bored looking face.

She vaguely realized it was not something he did voluntarily, but when he was surrounded by the people from the high society, he was having a cold aura around him, looking regal and serious.

But that was understandable, although it was fascinating to experience so many sides of him in such a short amount of time, from the wild, untamed, passionate young heir that got lost into her embrace, to the superior rich genius businessman in his element.

It was in the moment she caught the sight of the people, subtly taking quick glances at them, studying them, in the context of her having a fancy mean, clad in expensive clothes, along with Sasuke, has Sakura realized what the efflorescence fervent sparkling emotion embracing her lonely heart meant, whenever she was beside the raven haired men: she was falling for him.

Realization hit her hard. She was falling in love with the sole man she shouldn't. With the absolutely ravishing dark haired Uchiha heir she first loathed, but couldn't help to desire.

"You…you wanted to order me food from here and bring it to me to the hospital?"

Sasuke was not having enough of the girl in front of him, not quite able to stop his thoughts to flow at the vision of her so naturally blending into his world, like his lost in time bride promised to only him. "Yes."

"…You are crazy…"

"But you don't mind."

Emerald lifted to meet onyx, both Sasuke and Sakura letting their emotions illustrate thought their opened to soul windows, not saying a thing. They both knew it was the truth, in their own way. But craziness….has never been more normal than that.

"Like usual…you saw right through me."

And the emerald eyed agent did not even need to check how much time has she enjoyed the finely detailed absolutely delicious meal she had, in the most delectable company possible, chatting and talking spontaneously to the raven haired Uchiha about anything that crossed both`s mind.

And his way of describing his three days long boring meeting and all the people that annoyed him to no end was fascinating.

Sakura realized Sasuke let his ideas fly out of his head in such a versatile way, to adapt to every person he came in contact with and she did not miss his refined gestures and tact.

"Sasuke, you have told me about the upcoming mountain trip, but you didn't tell me when is going to be." Sakura was finishing the last bit of her food, finding it really not that hard to believe her newfound appetite, even though she had alimentation problems.

The relaxing jazz piano playing in the background, like a tissue for a broken heart, the aromatic candles resting on the table, the select clientele and Sasuke`s refined social behavior and studied gestures were making Sakura`s spirit feel high.

Suddenly, she did not felt trapped in the meadows of the past, but returned back to the present, but with a different outcome, than the stillness of her solitary bedroom, back in Italy.

With all the serenity in the world, the young Uchiha smirked at the stunned looking maid, who looked ready to take the candle in front of her and throw it at his head, not believing his guts to announce her so late. "Tomorrow."

"And you found it funny to tell me…now? When there are barely twelve hours left?"

"I did not think it is going to bother you that much."

"Well what do you think?"

"That it is not bothering you at all, either ways you would have asked me the first time." Sakura shook her head in disbelief, paying attention at the gestures and table manners, constantly reminding herself she was not posing at the poor tramp looking woman and it was in a classy place, so she had to act accordingly.

Of course she questioned Sasuke`s reason for doing what he did and probably wanting to confirm something with her, and she was well aware of the fact that she spoke French in front of him, like a dignified dame, with long satin gloves and a black velvet vintage hat, with its large curled brim, pacing through the narrow flamboyant streets of a chic town in France, her all demeanor strikingly contrasting with her supposed maid attitude, but the Sound agent did not care.

Sasuke told her to be crazy that day with him, and Sakura knew exactly nothing he said or done was at random, so it only meant they could both afford to act more like themselves and overlook everything.

That was their method of being together: overlooking and accepting everything as normal, even if it was not. And they did not need a name of that, just like Karin said.

"Really? And what if I truly refused to come?"

"I know you don't have the power to say no to me, Sakura."

The young heir let his coal eyes dance in amusement at the pink haired lady`s small cute pout and drop of emerald eyes, resuming her food, taking time in savoring the tasty cuisine, making him glad for her choice of specialties.

He knew she was suffering and her body was in not such a great condition, briefly remembering what the doctor told him…in particular. And he swore the lady in front of him is not going to ever suffer from depression, as long as he was around.

*Start of flashback*

Sasuke was confidently walking through the white corridor, his steps echoing all the way to the barely populated place, heading to the door that had the name he was looking for on the door, knocking once and letting himself in.

The familiar face of his doctor welcomed the raven haired Uchiha heir with the characteristic genuine smile and firm handshake, inviting him to take a sit in front of him, crossing his arms on his chest.

"Sasuke, long time no see. How are you?"

"I am fine, thank you."

"How is your family? Is your mother doing good? Does she still have heart problems?"

"Not after the successful surgery and it is all thanks to you, Dr. Nagawa. She is taking her medication and now she has no pain or feels tired."

"Very good."

"The reason why I came here is because I am interested in one of your recent patients."

The elder doctor raised a sharp eyebrow, slightly surprised at the onyx eyed man`s sudden interest in once of his patients. And he was not legitimate to disclose particular information about them to strangers. "Which one?"

"Haruno Sakura."

And the tiny spark of confusion that shot through the doctor`s brown small eyes did not go unnoticed by the midnight insightful haired man, already adding one missing part to the large puzzle Sakura was. "She is one of my patients indeed. She came here with injuries three days ago."

"I am interested in her condition."

"You know the policy very well, Sasuke. I cannot reveal such personal data about patients to people that are not family members or really close people to my patients, I am sorry."

"Who said she is not close to me?"

"Really? As in?"

Without even faltering in his reply, Sasuke let his answer drift out of his tongue in the most convincing way possible, like he truly believed what he said. "She is my fiance."

The doctor made a small pause in his speech, eying the Uchiha heir intently, but not questioning his answer. He knew him very well. And Sakural…was a CIA agent. Did Sasuke know that as well?

The sharp mind of the older gentle doctor did not want to take any risk, so he skillfully played his way out of the dangerous conversation. "I see. Well then, I am going to brief you about her condition.

Apart from one deeper cut on her right thigh we tended, and a smaller one on her temple, she was lucky to only escape with bruises and scratches. We performed a complete X-Ray and found nothing wrong with her inside organs."

Sasuke nodded once, content with the answer so far. "Anything else?"

"But…what really worries me is her mental state. According to what Miss Haruno personally revealed to us, she was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and I am not sure it is completely cured.

Not only that, but a really immediate side effect of it is she having bulimia nervosa as well, which only adds to her weakened condition."

Sasuke`s eyes widened at what he was hearing, totally not suspecting anything to begin with and it only added to his already guilty conscience. "Please explain further."

"Basically, your fiancé had a possible past trauma that caused her the depression and she even cut herself like a form of relief, hence the small cut marks on her arm.

This kind of mental illness is associated with some common symptoms which may include lack of feeling pleasure, extreme melancholy and low mood and insomnia. Also, in her case, bulimia.

I am not sure if you observed it in Miss Haruno`s attitude, but she might skip meals on purpose not being able to ingest solid food and even throwing up all she ate, hence the sudden weigh loss.

As a result to the lack of nutrients in her system, your fiancé has developed anemia and this might get dangerous in the future, because her dizziness got regular occurrences."

Sasuke felt like being stabbed in a chest with a rod, feeling bile raise in his throat at all the times he was too blind to see the obvious change in Sakura`s attitude. She was always waiting for him to come at extremely late hours, not finding sleep.

Almost never joining him at dinner or breakfast or even lunch, but he foolishly thought she was eating while he was away of the kitchen.

Sometimes, when he himself was plagued by nightmares and walked down his office to work at his company files, the raven haired Uchiha could hear his maid pacing aimlessly thought his villa, or walking in the garden, but decided not to get involved.

The doctor, sensing Sasuke`s distress gave a small smile in reassurance, silently surprised to find out the famous heartthrob Uchiha was so panicked at a woman`s state. Of course, she was no ordinary woman to begin with.

"Sasuke, I understand your concern, but this is not something it cannot be cured. She is already under treatment. Her physical wounds are not a problem. What she needs, is someone to keep an eye on her emotional state."

"Emotional?"

"Yes. She needs someone to be there for her, to soothe her sad heart and the loneliness in her heart. This is one of the main reasons people suffer from depression, women especially.

They feel vulnerable and lonely and they are in search for someone to support them. Usually, you tend to overlook such things and put them upon the level of stress any normal people nowadays has, but some of them tend to get extreme.

I will give her a diet plan for her to strictly follow, as well as iron supplements to help with her anemia. But this is as far as the medicine could go. The rest is up to the people around her to help her."

"In a nutshell…be there for her."

"Exactly."

Sasuke stood up abruptly, slipping his hands into his suit pants pockets, turning his back to his doctor. "Hn…I am going to see her."

"Of course. I will be there as well, as soon as I finish her hospital discharge form."

"Thank you for everything, Dr. Nagawa."

"You are welcome."

"By the way…would you do me a favor?"

"Please state your request."

"I don't want her to find out we had this conversation."

"Of course."

*End of flashback*

As soon as the waiter came with the bill, without even looking at now much was he supposed to pay for the extravagant meal, Sasuke left a pile of money to the expectant man, who bowed at the couple politely, wishing them a good day and stood out, mimicking Sakura`s movements and taking her by the hand, proceeded to the exit.

"I see you like to throw your money on the window."

"Such things do not interest me." As long as he had money, Sasuke could have cared less on what he spent them and spending a magnificent evening in the company of the most beautiful woman alive was totally worth it.

If he was to be honest, looking into his bank accounts, the cash he spent that day meant nothing. If it was for her, he would have sold everything, along with his soul in an instant.

"Oh? And what does it interest you, pry telling me?"

Sasuke already had a smart retort at her sharp tongue, but a brief cast of eyes on his shoulder gave Sasuke a better insight of how properly answer the question.

As soon as he saw the sign "Restroom", the raven haired Uchiha turned the knob, took Sakura inside the secluded place, locked the door and had her backed up against the wall in an instant, startling the pink haired girl, smirking down at her.

"Tell you? How about show you instead…what really interests me in this moment…Sakura."

As soon as the desired effect of the low melodic lullaby her name on his tongue came out as, in the form of darkened with desire emerald eyes and a shudder caressing her spine, all Sakura could have registered in that moment was the passionate waltz of Sasuke`s silky moist lips on her rosy ones and the whirl of his expert tongue inside her mouth.

And the Sound agent let no second pass against her desire, reciprocating his movement, slanting her head to deepen the contact, letting her finger lose into his silky uneven raven hair, moaning loudly at the feel of his feather like lean fingers grazing the inside of her uninjured thigh, under the expensive soft material of her dress, the other resting soundly on her lower back, bringing her body closer to him, not leaving her prompt on the cold unfriendly surface of the wall.

Deep inside, through all the tingles that punctured her skin as million bees roaming through a field full of flowers in bloom and the emerald eyed girl started to become familiar with the way her inner walls were quivering with every stroke of his tongue or slide of his skillful hand up and down her thigh and back, making the sensitive inner lips of her core flood with her feminine essences, damping her underwear, making the yearn into her all flaming body grow to incredible heights.

And it was not just the sole feeling of kissing him deeply, intimately, lead by wantonness in the form of pure passion, but the adrenaline of the moment at the thought of them being engaged in such activity in a luxury restaurant, where everyone could come and see them.

Everything about Sasuke was mystery and danger, in the most pleasurable way possible, pulling her more and more towards his own side, without a way back. And in that moment, the pink haired assassin was not sure she even wanted to escape darkness any longer. Was it even darkness to begin with, or another form of light she grow to love?

They both pulled apart when their lungs threatened to burst in the same flames that surged through their veins, mirroring each other`s raise of chest, letting their bodies touch tenderly.

"How do you find my choice of interest, Sakura?"

"Like something I approve."

"Hn." Sasuke was well aware of what was going on between them and as much as he was able to have self restraint and act accordingly to the situation, the signals his body and mind pulsated through his system could not be ignored anymore. He liked her and he liked her a lot, without any trace of doubt.

And a quick glance into her sparkling forest green deep orbs was enough to confirm her feelings as well.

She wanted him just as much and the raven haired panting Uchiha found himself confused at how much should he wait until he allowed them both to discover the true meaning of being connected as woman and man.

"I am glad to hear that. Come." Sasuke let himself steal another sweet kiss from Sakura who was more and more reluctant to lose the contact with him, taking back the hand he knew was meant to fit into his palm and got out of the bathroom, smirking at the sight of the looking in awe waiters that probably heard their little moment, but did their best to be polite.

All the way home, the young Uchiha found himself totally relaxed in the presence of Sakura, who did not shy from pressing any button her fingers came across in his expensive car, even messy his radio in search for a good music station.

She only stopped at one that had Latin jazz, humming the sensual lyrics absentmindedly, making him more trapped at the sight of her.

Sasuke felt his breath hitch in his throat at the sight of how incredibly beautiful she looked like in that moment, dressed accordingly to her pure soul, her vintage air and strikingly ladylike aura blended in a deadly combination for his senses.

It was almost painful how much he wanted more of her, everything, just like she openly admitted she expecting from him, and they both knew it was not just physical although the Uchiha heir knew they wanted to get more intimate and let their fingers explore deeper, further, discovering new sensations.

When they approached their neighborhood, in his intoxicated state, Sasuke failed to notice a red convertible that was painfully familiar, not having another view in front of him, except Sakura and all that she represented.

Sakura almost felt sad when her boss parked the car, not quite waiting for the amazing day to ever end, but she got stuff to do, naming prepare for the next day`s two days trip.

Good thing she was able to adapt her Sound attire to look proper to trekking, without attracting attention and prepare her devices. As soon as she got her laptop in the hospital, Sakura contacted Shino to send her immediately a new phone, it being shipped to her the next day.

The Sound agent headed upstairs, changing clothes with a baggy T-Shirt and a pair of lousy black pants, neatly folding her dress, brushing her fingers over the expensive soft fabric, at the same time grazing her index finger over her rosy petal soft lips, smiling widely at the memory of playing in a modern version of any girl`s fairytale, still not believing Sasuke`s behavior from the beginning to the end.

The emerald eyed agent knew Sasuke went straight to his bedroom, to take a shower and unpack his luggage, so she took her time in taking the iron supplements she got from the hospital and, holding Tsunade`s diet program, headed downstairs to prepare something to eat for dinner. "This thing only contains grass and leafs…what the heck…where is my Tiramisu cake shishou?!"

Sakura did not have time to even check for the ingredients, when she heard the ring of the bell, scaring her shitless. She was focused on following the information Tsunade wrote, jumping two meters high, palming her racing heart, heading to the door.

"Hello, dear." And her jaw almost hit the floor when she came face to face to the heavenly looking woman, eternally captured in the photograph Sasuke had on his office desk, eying her warmly, an angelic smile brightening her gorgeous features.

The same incredible sparkling sapphire black hue of eyes, long midnight silky tresses cascading over her lean shoulders, unblemished lily soft skin and unmistakable softened regal features…Uchiha Mikoto, Sasuke`s mother was resting in his son`s doorway, waiting patiently for Sakura to snap out of her reverie.

"Mrs. Uchiha…?" The Sound agent could only remained frozen behind the wide opened door, a hand on the knob and her jadeite orbs parted in awe at the sight of Sasuke`s mother emerging from nowhere, right at his home. Giving her appearance, she probably came straight form Heaven, floating on a small, fluffy cloud, playing the harp.

"So…can I come in, or am I not welcomed in here anymore?"

The pink haired girl came out of her star struck state and stepped aside to let the beautiful woman walk inside.

She looked for any luggage she might have, but except for a shopping bag which she did not bother to give to the girl, the raven haired lady had none.

She walked straight into the kitchen, removed the elegant classical trench and Sakura followed her pulling out from the bag various ingredients.

"Come here." Sakura`s feet carried her inside the space Sasuke`s mother was occupying, and without even realizing got trapped into her elegance and graceful attitude.

And the woman graced the Sound agent`s emerald eyes with a smile, so pure and beautiful, sparkling with motherly love and tenderness that it almost made her insides cry in emotion. Even his tone was soothing and calm, much like her son`s, but it lacked hidden intent.

"I…I am sorry for my rude behavior, Mrs. Uchiha. I just got surprised."

"Haha, don't worry honey, it is my fault for coming here without announcing my arrival. But even if I cannot be here for much time, I just wanted to make my Sasuke-kun a surprise."

Ok, so that day could not get more eventful that that, in Sakura`s opinion. Is the cherub like person in front of her the one her boss inherited his sparkling intelligence, because from the very first moment she saw her, Mikoto understood she is a foreigner and addressed her in the most melodic and fluent English she ever heard.

And the way she talked to her, not appearing bothered in the bit by what a woman, dressed like she is a refugee, but more like she was talking dearly to a child she has just met and did not want to scare, was blowing her mind.

"…ahm…Mr. Uchiha is upstairs. I will be going to let him know his mother came to visit. Please excuse me."

A gentle hand caught Sakura`s wrist, making her falter in her already shaken steps and wind her head to face the smiling at her woman, that shook her head slightly letting her know she should not bother.

"No dear, it is ok. I don't want to bother him. Besides, I could use your help."

"My help? May I ask for what?"

"The two of us are going to prepare his favorite dish. My son always asks for it whenever he visits."

It was the rosette`s turn to surprise Mikoto with the joyful way the corner of her lips went up, revealing a set of pearl white teeth and a sparkling smile, mirroring the matriarch one`s, nodding energetically.

"Please tell me what to do."

There was something in the way the apparently ugly and poor girl was brightening the surroundings with every ladylike movement she did, that it made Mikoto wonder just who the stranger could be.

Sasuke`s new girlfriend? But she was different from the women he was usually seen with, despite the fact that her son never once brought a woman in front of his parents to present her.

A friend? Probably not, because she did not seem to belong to their circle. His maid? Now that crossed her mind the first time Sakura opened the door but…everything she did and her general demeanor betrayed anything but.

It was mother instinct and pure female intuition that made the Uchiha mother realize it was much more between Sasuke and Sakura, because the way those stunning forest green eyes that caught Mikoto`s attention the first time they rested on he coal ones, were glimmering with intense emotions at the sound of her younger son`s name was betraying her.

"What is your name, honey?" Mikoto found a wok and prepared some flour and rice, while Sakura stood in the middle of the kitchen, eying the woman intently, studying her every gesture and trying to find the resemblances with her son and truly she found many. Not only their features were reminiscent, but even their choice of words was something that related the two of them, unmistakably.

"Sakura. Haruno Sakura."

"Sakura…as in cherry blossom? I think I might identify your beautiful face with the delicate flower. Here, help me peel the tomatoes."

The CIA agent did as Sasuke`s mother instructed her, without questioning in the matter, nonetheless her curious jadeite eyes were staying glued to the way Mikoto so elegantly let her skilled fingers dance on the dough she was preparing, like she was not cooking, but painting on canvas.

Even such a domestic, but meaningful activity like preparing he son dinner, was screaming royalty, the stunning mother having an aura that imposed respect, not through fear, but maternal devotion, present in every studied gesture she did, like the way her dazzling onyx eyes were shimmering with warmth while she was humming a traditional song, totally not bothered by a stranger`s presence beside her.

And her obvious compliment totally made Sakura go the shade of the vegetable she was peeling, like it was her own skin held between her lean trembling fingers.

That woman had a way with her words that made her lonely thoughts flow to her own mother she never met. Was the woman that carried her in her womb for nine months just as gentle, or beautiful?

"Y-Yes, Mrs. Uchiha. You are right. Thank you. Am I doing this right?"

The Uchiha matriarch let her eyes take a quick look at Sakura`s work, nodding once, smiling at her. "Yes. Please do not be so nervous around me, I feel like my brooding husband, who scares children."

And the Sound assassin could not contain her own soft giggles at the sound of Sasuke`s mother harmonic bell like laughter, that radiated so much pastoral feel around her, almost looking like she was breathing life to the void of emotion space around her, in such a natural way it was impossible to remove the eyesight from her.

Never in her life has Sakura encountered such a magical woman, in the form of Sasuke`s mother, that made her heart raise in her throat at the feel of the peaceful and soothing effect the woman beside her reflected through her persona, making the emerald eyed girl envision her in the idyllic picture of an old elegant carriage, with a long chiffon dress, in the colors of the Earth and rusty leaves, returning to her palace, in the core of the forest, like a countess.

No word she said made Sakura uncomfortable or humiliated, on the contrary she felt like God has blessed her with its divine light, through one of his angels, because Mikoto has sensed her state and suffering though her maternal senses, rewarding her little work with a well placed genuine smile and it only made her teary.

"I am sorry, I am just…taken by surprise, that is all. It was not in my intention to offend you."

"Oh dear, I am aware, do not worry with such things. Yes, you are doing well. I am letting you take care of the mushrooms as well, because your young hands are not trembling like mine hehe."

"Yes, Madam." Mikoto gave Sakura a fresh bowl of mushrooms and the pink haired girl wasted no time in cutting tiny pieces as well, well aware of the fact that Sasuke really hated to chock on large bits of food in his meals and an intelligent and observant Mikoto quickly caught her knowledge, because she refrained from telling the interesting emerald eyed girl how she should but the mushrooms, on purpose.

"So, where are you from? I would go as far as to take a guess you are from a Latin country, but I refrain from taking wild guesses."

"You are right, Mrs. Uchiha, I am from Ravenna." Sakura passed the mushrooms and peeled tomatoes to an expectant mother, that incorporated them in the dough and prepared the oven.

And the emerald eyed girl was actually enjoying preparing dinner with the bright and cheerful Uchiha Mikoto, almost feeling her motherly loving instincts projecting towards her as well.

And she vaguely heard the Uchiha matriarch describing the dish she had in mind, which only made Sakura feel familiar with the beautiful lady and it was the weirdest feeling ever.

"Ah the eternal romantic Italy and its enchanting narrow streets and chic cafes. I remember my staying there and it was one of the best periods."

The Sound agent raised an eyebrow at Mikoto`s sudden confession and it did not go unnoticed by the stunning woman, who found it appropriate to enlighten her with more details.

"I have studied universal literature in Rome and now I am an English teacher at university. Of course, when I am not in one of my little escapades as an UN ambassador for human rights. In fact, I have just returned from Africa. Poor children…"

Mikoto`s eyes softened with a beaming emotion of sympathy towards the unfortunate starving children, her heart breaking in half at the sight of their suffering. The woman was famous for her philanthropic activity, being a fierce defender of the women and children`s rights.

"Amazing, you are able to travel around the world and help people in need…just like me!"

The brunette woman, who was busy setting the proper temperature in the oven, turned around to read Sakura`s feelings on her jadeite widened eyes, finding her behavior and innocence contagious.

For some unknown reason, Mikoto felt a deep connection to the point she could almost associate her in her family, beside her younger son.

Even if they have just met and the woman barely knew the Sound agent, her woman instinct has not betrayed her. Sakura was staying beside Sasuke for a complete other reason, far more profound than his previous encounters with women, and that made her happy.

Deep inside, there was no other thought that could have made her a happier woman than she was, but the idea of his sons to find happiness in the embrace of their beloved brides and grace her with many beautiful nephews.

And Sakura truly had the potential to be an imposing future Uchiha, honoring their name and reputation.

No, Mikoto was not superficial and stupid she was not. Even though Sakura had the appearance of a person that just got out of the bad, her aura and her refined posture placed her right in the middle of the high society.

And the sharp minded mother did not miss how beautiful the young pink haired girl really was. Although, there was something off about her that did not sit right with Mikoto and her motherly instincts kicked in immediately.

She got closer to Sakura and to the jadeite eyed girl`s stupor, let her palms slip delicately under her wrists and held her hands warmly into her own, eying her like she was her own daughter, the affectionate way her sparkling coal eyes were caressing her very soul made Sakura melt under her touch, like she has discovered a new feeling that was foreign to an orphan like her.

"Isn`t it a beautiful feeling to help the others? But dear, you are pale and your body is delicate and seem weak. Are you all right?"

Sakura was rooted in her place, her eyes bathed in unshed sparkling tears glistening her garnet orbs, with her heart engulfed in an explosion of caring feelings, not believing how was it possible to feel so close to Sasuke`s mother all of sudden, totally understanding why her boss` eyes always softened and his low baritone voice melted whenever he reminisced about his mother.

The woman was an celestial being and it was utterly humanly impossible not to love her.

She nodded once and her voice came out like a tiny shy whisper, almost afraid to perturb the warm atmosphere. As soon as Mikoto entered the house, the rain outside stopped. "Yes, thank you for your concern. I am a little weakened as you have guessed, but I am going to be fine."

"Then you must taste the food we are going to prepare. It is full of nutrients I promise."

"Yes, Mrs. Uchiha."

The Uchiha matriarch smiled at the sight of the young girl, stealing more seconds to feel her soft hands under her touch, almost like wanting to confirm something. And she did. The girl was really cute. And she had a pure heart echoed in her beautiful forest green eyes that were shyly following her ones.

"Let us boil some water for the tomato sauce now, shall we?"

At the sight of the emerald eyed agent nodding energetically once, Mikoto let go of her hands and prepared the necessary ingredients, coming beside Sakura who was busy mixing some tomato juice, basil and pepper.

"I am going to share a secret with you." Mikoto pulled out a small bamboo pack and revealed some weird looking seeds, presenting them to Sakura.

"A secret?"

"Yes. I am going to tell you the miraculous ingredient I use for my special tomato soufflé we are preparing, that my Sasuke-kun loves so much."

Sakura looked at Mikoto`s palm, holding the miraculous ingredient, her eyes sparkling in amusement and awe. "Saffron."

Mikoto blinked once at her, adding saffron to the mixture, following Sakura and her skillfully way of blending the ingredients. "That is right. And I never let anyone know what I use, even thought they have asked me about the recipe."

"So I am the only one to know? How come?"

It was a silly think, the Sound agent was aware, but somehow the scene had something far more deeper and it was painfully familiar with a normal day, when the young bride and her mother in law were making dinner and shared culinary secrets between them and it only made the orphan inside her scream in joy and relief. At that moment, Sakura felt cared. Totally.

"You have seen how we prepared it. This is why I wanted you to know. When I am not here, make my son this dish more often in my place." Sakura dropped the knife at that not able to restrain herself.

The way Sasuke`s mother implied she should look after the raven haired Uchiha and stay by his side was melting her insides and she felt the need to turn around and bury her head at the beautiful woman`s chest and listen to how a motherly heart beats for her family.

"Please allow me to tell that I feel honored to have been shared such a secret."

Mikoto softly laughed at the girl`s antics, growing fonder of the enthusiastic strange girl. And what the raven haired woman felt enchanting at the young agent was the way she was pouring her emotions and feelings into her stunning unique shaded eyes, like she had nothing to hide from her.

"Hehe, I must admit. You are really cute and I am sure my Sasuke-kun thinks the same. Let us see how is the dough…"

Mikoto opened the stove and pulled out the tasty looking almost ready soufflé and even though it has been two hours since Sakura had her meal with Sasuke, she already felt like starving at the smell of home made food. She had alimentation problems but damn if it would stop her to take a large bit of Mikoto`s food.

"It looks tasty."

"It truly does. Now for the sauce…" Mikoto took the spoon Sakura used to carefully mix the ingredients and added some garlic, mustard and olive oil to make it thinner. She raised the spoon to Sakura, asking her to have a taste of it. "…here. Tell me what you think."

Stunned at the woman`s gesture, carefully not to bump her nose on the spoon, the emerald eyed girl let her rosy lips have a taste of Mikoto`s secret recipe, her eyes widening at the aromatic sauce, letting her jadeite eyes rest on Sasuke`s mother expectant ones, confirming what she already knew.

"This is absolutely divine, I have never tasted something so good! I could eat this without the soufflé! Every ingredient perfectly complements the other and the saffron gives the tomatoes an exotic taste."

Mikoto poured the sauce over the soufflé, while Sakura watched her every move like a hawk, trying to imprint the recipe in her memory.

Well, considering she was going to associate the dish with the stunning mother, that would not be such a difficult thing to do. "Haha, honey I think no one was able to provide a better description of my sauce than you, so thank you."

A choir of musical feminine giggles like a choir of nightingales trills in the spring forest, echoing through the kitchen belonging to the two women having fun and preparing some absolutely divine all too familiar cuisine, acting like two old friends, reminiscing good times, was the scene Sasuke came across when he went downstairs, into the kitchen, stopping dead in his tracks, coal eyes widened in amazement.

There, in front of him, stood Sakura and his mother, tasting what he recognized to be the tomato soufflé he loved since he was able to hold a fork in his hands, as a small child.

His lips parted in awe, not quite describing what was the unexplainable surge of warmth flooding his heart at the sight of Sakura and his mom, being so familiar with each other. It was so much calm in the air, it was like a scar tissue for the troubled conscience.

"Mother…"

Both the pink haired agent and Mikoto rose their eyes in the direction of the door, totally oblivious to their audience.

Sakura gulped once, her pulse running high at the sight of her boss, clad in a white V necked T-Shirt and his raven locks damp, probably from the shower, stuck to his beautiful face, not bothered to hide his shock.

Mikoto wasted no time in closing the distance between them, stopping right in front of her much taller younger son, barely reaching his shoulders and pull him into a lovingly embrace, kissing his cheek and brushing a strand of his equally midnight hair away from his eyes cupping his jaw gently, smiling widely at the sight of him.

"Sasuke-kun, how are you dear? I missed you so much, I could not wait until the Ball to come and see you. Look at you, you are even more handsome since the last time we saw each other."

The young Uchiha wasted no time in folding his arms around his beloved mother`s tiny waist, reciprocating her affectionate gesture, his regal features brightening at the sight of her, kissing her forehead lovingly, leaning his head into her warm touch.

"Mother, you should have told me you would come. I would have prepared you a room."

"Do not worry my son, I will only be here for an hour at most. I have to go back home and unpack."

Sakura could not help herself to smile carefree and widely at the display of devotion between the mother and the son, their special relationship totally obvious in every small gesture they did.

She covered her cheeks with her palms, not able to remove her emerald eyes from the two relatives, because the amount of love sparkling in intensity between the two was contagious.

And of course a deep blush grazed the milky skin behind her neck and cheeks when Sasuke caught the sight of her, giving her a small smirk, totally amused at her antics.

The Sound agent bit her lower lip and turned her body around, feeling ashamed of her stunned stare, intending to head to the sink and wash her hands, but of course she bumped her hip into the table and dropped a bowl, the sound of broken glass startling Mikoto, who let go of Sasuke and hurried in her direction, not wasting time in helping her remove the tiny pieces. Sakura felt stupid and out of place, wanting nothing more than the ground to open and let her sink.

Of course Sasuke`s mother felt her distress and placed a hand on Sakura`s stirred shoulders, attracting the attention of her jadeite eyes towards her onyx ones, smiling brightly at the nervous girl.

"Don't worry dear, I got this. Please prepare some cups for the green tea. I am going to have a little chat with my son over here."

"…Yes…I am sorry."

Sakura went to the cupboard and took two Chinese cups, preparing some green tea she also grew fond of, while Mikoto and Sasuke headed towards the garden, sitting at the table.

Mikoto brought her chair close to her son and took his much bigger hands into her one ones, letting them rest on her lap, eying him dearly.

"I missed you mom, so much."

"I missed you too dear. How are you? Are you all right? You look tired." The Uchiha matriarch eyed her son intently.

Ever since Sasuke remained alone in Tokyo, they were not able to see each other that much anymore and given their special relationship, Mikoto felt the urge to move back with him, but she knew when to step back and not meddle with his son`s life. Plus it looked like there was someone else more fitted to take care of him in her place.

"I am fine, thank you."

"Company problems?"

Mikoto did not want to voice her thoughts, knowing exactly the younger son was not content with the fact that all the responsibility was left into his arms, but such was life. She wanted him to pursue the dreams he had since he was a little child, but Fugaku would hear none of it. If there was a person to have supported him unconditionally, was Mikoto.

"Nothing that cannot be solved."

Sasuke felt so good in the presence of his mother, not even bothering to ask her what was she doing at his home, relishing in her motherly warmth and unique lavender scent he grow so fond of. She reminded him of all the things he loved most.

"Honey, you have to take it easier. I do not want you to over do it, like I am aware you do. Tell me, are you happy? Is Naruto in Japan? Have you talked to him?"

"Dobe is in Tokyo, along with Hyuga and his fiancé. We met once or twice. You are going to have enough of him at the charity Ball.

Are you going to be there, right?" Sasuke was aware of the fact that it was only one thing in the world able to stop him from cursing his father to hell and back and punch the living daylights out of him in front of al audience of high class people and that was his mother.

Good thing Itachi was not going to participate, either way Sasuke would have totally refused the invitation, not bothered by the gossip that was bound to come.

And he already felt bad for hiding basically half of his life from the person that gave him life and held him with all the love a mother could have nurtured for her son, but there were things he just couldn't tell her.

"I am glad to hear that. I talked to Kushina. She missed him a lot."

Sasuke let out a smirk at that. He knew the fierce red headed Uzumaki mother and how she often kicked her son when the knuckleheaded idiot got in trouble. "Hn. I am sure she did."

Mikoto laughed at her son`s implication, she knowing too the weird relationship the two of them had. Kushina was her close friend since forever. "Now tell me honey…who is she?"

The onyx eyed heir knew exactly what his mother was talking about and the person she was interested in was Sakura.

And he was not in the bit surprised to find out she was totally socializing with her even though they never met because Mikoto had an unique way to feel the goodness in people.

"Someone…special." Never once since they met has Sasuke considered Sakura to be a maid, because she never fit into that position.

Everything about her was so superior it was almost worth to compare with his mother`s aura. And he was not afraid to confess what he truly thought about her to the sole person that trusted and not judged him.

Mikoto raised he hand to gently brush her thumb over the son`s she missed so much high cheeks, mirroring his pearl black eyes with a pair of similar ones, in a knowing look. She figured that much.

"She is special indeed. And I feel she is different from the others. You can see her purity into her beautiful green eyes. And cute too."

The eloquent raven haired lady would not lie. She knew about Sasuke`s escapades with different women and his scandals, so seeing him grew so attached by a girl that did not belong in that category was making her heart beat faster.

She liked Sakura and from the way her son`s deep eyes flickered with an emotion she recognized as affection, assured her he shared the pink haired girl`s feelings. She inwardly smirked at the thought of how good would they look together.

"Aa. She is."

"Haha, you are cute as well, Sasuke-kun, even though you are all grown up now. I know you are all by yourself here dear, but now I can rest assured knowing she is here."

"You like her, mother."

"I taught her my special recipe I know you like so much. She can prepare it to you in my place. I am sure it is going to have a better taste."

"How so?"

Mikoto leaned in to whisper to her son`s ear, almost like sharing a deep secret with him, making him smirk. "She adds a miraculous ingredient to the sauce."

"Hn…saffron."

To his surprise, Mikoto shook her head, smiling at her son`s confused face. When Sasuke did not have his guard up, he was a normal tremendously looking young man and that only added to his charms.

"No my dear. Something more powerful." And it has been so long since the onyx eyed Uchiha felt his heart skip a beat at the way his mother let the word dance on her lips, totally surprising him. "Love."

So she saw that too? Sasuke knew his mother was insightful and nothing could have escaped her sharp mind, but to hear the obvious coming from such a reliable source was doing funny things to his system.

He found himself not afraid of the pink haired lady getting so deeply attached by him, on the contrary it felt natural like it was meant to happen. And after that day`s events, he knew his heart pounded into his chest whenever her name was gracing his hearing.

"Then you have found yourself a strong rival in the kitchen, mom."

"Not a rival. Someone to help me. But honey…why do we still speak English?"

Sasuke gave his mother a small smile, not a smirk, amused at her question. He was so used to not speak Japanese with his business partners and Sakura that he has not even realized he was not using his mother tongue. It did not hold any important meaning to him anyways.

His mother, being an English teacher, took her time to teach him the language ever since he was a child, so when the raven haired Uchiha went to study in Virginia, he was fluent like a native.

"Because we like to be fancy."

The loving mother giggled brightly at her son`s use of choice, all too familiar with his loosen up side. In her presence, the young Uchiha felt no threat and that was the reason he put the walls around his heart down to express his undying love for her.

"That is right my dear, that is right."

The two of them chatted till late, Mikoto taking her leave after midnight after she told Sasuke and Sakura goodbye, the young Uchiha invited her to spend the night, but the beautiful lady refused to do so because she had a plane to catch and she was not used to take the helicopter.

Sakura watched in awe at Sasuke who stuffed his face with the dish his mother and her prepared, enjoying every bit of it, going as far as to lick his fingers, muttering a small delicious, making her totally amused at that sight of him.

But she could not blame her boss, because when the pink haired maid had a taste of the tomato soufflé, she swore bulimia and depression were old history. She could have that for years and not get sick by it. Mikoto was a genius in the kitchen.

The emerald eyed lady heard Sasuke saying something like going upstairs to sleep, totally tired after a long flight and they had to be up at 6 am in the morning, to catch the bus to the mountain trip, so without any further delay, Sakura threw the plates in the washing machine and went straight to her bedroom, not even bothering to undress or cover her body with the bed sheets.

}{

2 am…that was what the clock on the wall was showing to a pair of emerald bloodshot tired eyes belonging to Sakura. There was not problem for the emerald eyed woman to fall into slumber, after such an eventful day, but of course the nightmares have resurfaced and after a horrible scene of her younger version, sleeping on the cold floor in her poor room, with rats roaming freely around her, the Sound agent rose from her bed like it was burning her, sweating madly, panting heavily.

She went straight to the shower to clean her trembling body, and rubbed her skin till she was certain it was going to bleed with her chocolate shower gel, like wanting to wash away all the misery she felt.

Sure, she met Sasuke`s stunning mother and she lived a mini fairytale with him at the expensive restaurant, but at the end of the day, it was the solitude of her chamber the one to kiss her goodnight and that made her own monsters come to the light and eat her soul away.

The Sound agent emerged from the bathroom, clad in only a pair of purple lace panties and an oversized T-Shirt that barely covered her thighs, not bothering to dry her short damp hair, a towel keeping it on place, resting her body on the floor, with the back prompted on the wall, holding the pills bottle tightly in her shaking arm, her jadeite eyes moist with salty tears.

Tsunade has totally forbidden her to even entertain the idea of touching the antidepressants or the sleeping pills, but at the moment she felt so bad and melancholic that she felt the urge to empty the bottle and rest forever, away from all the nightmares.

The room was suffocating her and the stillness of the darkness was ripping her heart away of her chest, making her feel claustrophobic, like she wanted to escape from the body that was keeping her caged, grow a pair of wings and fly into the infinite sky, without turning back.

"Damn it…" Sakura had no idea what to do. She was well aware of the depression coming back to her, although she tried her best to hide it from the others, but the doctor`s words echoed through her troubled mind.

If she overdid it with the pills, she was only going to do more damage to her body, but she did not knew another way to alleviate the pain she felt.

Her rosy lips were quivering and she bit them intently to avoid a sharp cry of help that escaladed form her clenched stomach to her throat, where it rested like a lump.

The pink haired agent desperately tried to contact Karin, but the voice mail on her laptop and phone told her the red headed Uzumaki was on a mission. Calling Orochimaru or Tsunade was out of question, because they had so much to work on that made her heart pain at the thought of bothering them with her problems.

Anko was already five months pregnant, so the woman needed rest and peace, so she was out of question as well.

Sakura found herself so lonely like she was back in time when she was suffering from the ignorance of the others and it only made more tiny burning rivers of tears to cascade form her sad emerald eyes, damping her rosy cheeks, pouring on her trembling lips.

Funny how she could taste her suffering on her mouth, and it was like acid on the open wounds.

She rose up, starting to pace aimlessly thought the room, attempting to do some meditation breathing exercises to no avail. She finished her luggage for the trip, even checking it twenty times, but rest did not come to her.

Sakura was afraid to go back to sleep, so her only option was to stay awake until the morning and be a zombie the next day, laughing at her pathetic attempts to be the protective agent, when she was a mess. She needed rest, that was obvious.

And the Sound agent totally panicked when she took a quick peek at the clock and realized…only five minutes that felt like an hour passed.

She stepped backwards until her small back glued to the door, grabbing the knob for balance, her knees trembling like jelly, biting the inside of her cheek, her eyes shot open. "No…"

The panic…the terror…the horror of being alone and not even time wanting to pull her out of her suffering…she had to get out of there until she did something she regretted, because she saw the razor blade in the bathroom.

Throwing the opened bottle with sleeping pills to the ground, spilling the content, Sakura turned the knob, pushed the door open and bolted out of the room in the hall, thanking all the gods for the pale blueish neon light Sasuke had in all his house.

She put a hand on her thumping heart, closing her eyes and inhaling deeply. Maybe a walk in the garden would…would do nothing.

But Sakura soon found out a much better, almost desperate alternate solution that looked like her last resort to escape insanity, when she spotted the slightly opened door to Sasuke`s bedroom.

Without even taking into account what was she about to do, Sakura pushed the door open widely, letting her body slip into the large space, not bothering to shut it back. They were alone in the villa anyways.

The pink haired girl bit her lower lip, chanting into her mind at how crazy she was for attempting such a thing, and took one step after another, till she reached the bed, her orbs cast on Sasuke`s silhouette on the darkness.

He was laying on his side, with his head resting on his arm and his broad bare back facing her. Of course…he used to seep clad in only his boxers, she knew that much. Well…it did not bother her that much though…

"Good God, I am insane, what the hell am I doing?!" Sakura came right at the edge of the bed, covering her face with both hands, not believing what she wanted to do. She was desperately trying to find a way to sleep at least for four hours and gain some energy and that was precisely the reason she wanted to sneak under Sasuke`s bed sheets and not wake up alone in the morning at least that time.

"I have enough pieces of furniture around to decorate my room, so why do you feel the need to stay rooted in place and add to the already overdose?" Sasuke`s low rich voices almost made her heart jump of her chest, totally startling her. She really thought he was sleeping. "Bastard has eyes behind his back…like a crab…"

"…I…I did not want to wake you up Sasuke. I will leave no…arghhh…" Sasuke gave his maid no time in rambling with whatever excuse she was about to say, because in the blink of an eye he turned his body around to face her and shot a hand towards her, pulling her down on the bed, on her side.

He encircled her hip with his hand, gluing their bodies together over the silky bed sheets, totally lefting her mouth agape.

Shyly, Sakura let her hand rest on his bare shoulder and her forehead went right under his chin, in the crook of his neck, listening intently to his calm pulse and the life that was flooding through it.

"You did not wake me up. And even if you did, I would not have been bothered, Sakura."

The emerald eyed girl snuck closer to Sasuke`s hot toned body, the feel of his scent and the rise of his chest with every inhale he took, already calming her racing nerves. He had that immediate effect on her and that was exactly what she was looking for. "…I cannot sleep."

"I can see." Sasuke heard Sakura from his room and he knew what was happening to her.

The doctor has told him about possible nightmares and insomnia, so it was about time she was going to look for a way to put an end to her pain. And the raven haired Uchiha was certain her suffering heart was going to bring her right into his arms.

The emerald eyed girl was well aware of the fact that the moody attitude and the sadness, collected in the dew drops of tears that flew of her eyes at the moment, were all due to the depression but she could not help herself.

She did not have to appear stronger in front of him any longer, because her boss knew about her condition. "I had a terrible nightmare."

"I can feel it." Sasuke let his long eyelashes rest together, arching his neck to give Sakura more access to cuddle her head into the crook of his neck, feeling her warmth breath fan over the soft skin, making his blood boil. She was just staying there in his arms, but his body was already reaction to the feel of her.

"I am afraid to stay there alone."

The onyx eyed man realized she was crying as well and that only added to the pain he felt at the sight of the weakened state of her barely covered from her body. "I am aware."

"I want to sleep in here…with you."

"…I know."

"…can I…"

"Yes."

Sakura did not get her chance to whisper a honest thank you in relief, because as soon as she got his accept to share his bed with her, Sasuke brushed his lean finger under her small chin to lift her head towards him and placed an innocent kiss upon her trembling lips, then wiping away the tears with his knuckles in a feather like touch, like afraid of her not fading away like the crystal drops of dew under the sun rays.

Soon the chaste kiss got more passionate, when Sakura started to move her lips against his ones, feeling like she was discovering how soft it was with each brush of his mouth on hers, totally not wasting time in parting her lips when she felt his tongue begging for access, entering her expectant mouth and deepening their contact.

If there was something she grew to love in the way Sasuke was kissing her, was how he intentionally angled his head to let the side of their noses rub together every time he rolled his moist tongue over her lips then dart back inside, battling her for dominance.

It was probably because of the familiar fluttering in her stomach or the way her breaths got harsher each passing moment, the reason why the pink haired agent did not even realized Sasuke`s hand descended on her thigh, then slipped under her baggy piece of clothing, pulling it up over her full chest, exposing almost everything to his hungry eyes, except for her most confined parts she got covered with her lace panties.

And she swore she saw galaxies exploding and discharging their energy down her spine in a sensation that made her arch her back suddenly, when the handsome raven haired Uchiha covered her rosy hardened nipple with his hot mouth, suckling on the supple skin greedily, then grazing his tongue over the rounded breast, making her go crazy with every move he made.

Sasuke was well aware of what he was doing and the fact that they were not in a public place like the hospital room, but totally isolated from the curious eyes in his villa did nothing to stop him from bite and taste every part of the enchanting woman`s in his arms velvet delicious skin.

It was pointless to deny what they both wanted, because it was obvious from the way they basically looked for a contact whenever they got the chance. He was crazy he knew that much, but he could not stop himself around her.

And the constricting feeling he had down his boxers was enough to let him know about the aroused state he was in at the feel of her skin melting under his own, with every caress or touch.

Sasuke knew he swore to respect her privacy and give her just how much she wanted to receive from him, but damn if he not got the permission to absolutely cover her in his ravenous kisses when Sakura let her small soft hands touch the inside of his toned thighs, her fingers coming dangerously close to his throbbing member, making his breath hitch in his throat at the anticipation of the much needed contact.

Until it was too late to turn back, Sasuke removed his lips from her swollen nipple, and stopped his hand on her waist, not going down further, trapping her darkened emerald eyes, tiny golden particles around her irises sparkling with burning need at the sight of his coal partly opened orbs.

"Sakura…if you go further, I will not be able to stop this time…"

Sakura`s heart skipped a beat the deeper meaning of the raven haired Uchiha`s words, knowing exactly what he wanted to say.

He cared too much about her to use his expert touches and seduce her into giving herself to him, so he was asking her if she was ready to do it willingly.

And there was no trace of doubt at what she wanted, when instead of answering him like he expected, the emerald eyed woman bit her lower lip to gain the necessary courage and ventured her fingertips further, brushing the front of his boxers, her eyes going slightly wide at the feel of how big he was and how turned on by her mere touches.

But the way his already impossibly jet eyes ignited like coal at the feel of her touching him there, made her own insides burn at the raw manly unleashed look he gave her, totally not wasting any time in crash their lips together, letting his tongue go as deep as possible, almost like wanting to invade her all, making the pink haired girl moan loudly at the way he let his hand roam freely, whenever he pleased, she not stopping him from doing so.

Her straight spine, her shoulder blades, the perfectly shaped contour of her breasts, her begging for attention nipples, her toned abdomen and her curvy ass, there was no place he did not squeeze or caressed, making her skin tremble in pleasure, more moans escaping her parted lips when he replaced his expert fingers with his mouth, leaving trails of saliva down her stomach, all the way to her navel, alternating his pace.

Sakura swore she was going insane with desire, all her body melting like lava under him.

Sasuke did not shifted his position, so they were both resting on their sides, totally aware of the injuries she had, but it did not stop him from let his index finger dip past her navel to her groin, feeling her want more of him and he was more than ready to give her more.

And when the onyx eyed Uchiha felt the emerald eyed girl let her hand descend from his back to his ass, massaging the toned muscles he thought he felt an electrical discharge the way down, getting harder than he thought it was possible.

No women ever had that power over him and Sasuke was certain he wanted her just as much as she wanted him.

But he was aware of her pure state, so the raven haired man knew he had to take it easy with her and test the waters first, to let his maid get used to the feel of his touching her more intimately and not make her feel pressured, so he placed a meaningful passionate kiss upon her lips, not slipping his tongue into her mouth like he intended, to not make her feel invaded all of sudden by him, and as gentle as he could, let his palm glide from her abdomen into her lace panties, searching for any sort of insecurity or hesitance coming from her.

No matter how bad he wanted to bury himself deep inside of her, until they both lose themselves into the beatitude sensation, Sasuke would find it in him to stop if she did tell him to do so. He valued her more than his own needs.

"Sakura…"

In her mind, when the Sound agent felt Sasuke`s hand descend slowly, but surely in between her legs, she wanted to scream out loud "Hallelujah" , because it was the exact thing she expected him to do already, not able to withstand the pulsating sensation she had on her lower region or the hot pool in the pit of her abdomen at the lack of proper contact with her body.

The emerald eyed girl wasted no time in telling him to do it already and not prolong her agony any longer. Damn was he a tease. "Please…"

It was the only thing Sasuke needed to nod once and capturing her lips in between his soft ones, let his hand submerge deeper inside her totally sensual choice of lingerie, palming the valley between her thighs, then using his fingers to part her and rub her inner lips gently, to let her get used to the feeling of him on her, not quite believing how aroused she really was, feeling her sticky juices damping her throbbing core.

She was incredibly soft down there as well, just like the rest of her body, so perfectly designed, like she was an expensive nude portrait, expressing the eternal feminine symbol, professionally painted into coal to last eternally.

Sasuke could feel his vision cloud when his fingertips imprinted every detail of her into his mind, the supple silky warm texture of her petals and the warm damp core waiting for him to explore the virgin slick passage and discover more she had to offer.

When Sakura felt Sasuke touching her in the most sacred places she felt the bed miraculously vanish under her and being replaced with melting lava, he whole body bursting into incontrollable vibrations and trepidations, not able to contain a loud moan escape her throat upon her boss` lips.

The pink haired girl had no idea what the raven haired Uchiha was doing with to her with his expert fingers, but the way he was touching her, like no one else did before was pure ecstasy.

All the things she felt when they kissed or touched were blending together and surged through her veins, replacing blood with fire.

And surely she could not escape a cry when Sasuke, expertly rubbed her confined clit, rolling the tip of his finger around the small bud, making her break the kiss and plant her nails into his shoulders, letting her head hit the pillow, emerald eyes shut tight, lips panting heavily.

The onyx eyed man grew twice as hard at the sight of her, moaning inconsolably with every touch he did, totally abandoning herself to the sinful path of lust and desire, tiny rivers of sweat dripping on her neck, to the valley of her breasts, making him lean in and trace his tongue over the wet path, tasting her and getting drunk of her flavor, not stopping the grind of his digits to her rosy petals and bud, making more juices emerge from her, the girl visibly aroused.

Sasuke removed his hand from her, much to the trembling in pleasure pink haired lady`s dismay, to pull the lace material down her legs.

Sakura got the idea and bent her knees to help him remove her underwear, that only stayed in between her and the immense delight he was giving her.

The Uchiha heir used his hand to part her uncovered thighs more, silently asking her to rest on her back and spread her legs open, refraining from using words with her, well aware she was probably worried at the development of their movements.

Reluctantly she did that, but did not spread her legs wide, but he realized it was not in shame but more out of her inexperienced state.

And that nothing to make his interest in her lower, on the contrary, Sasuke was going to let things proceed at snail peace, taking his time into showing her exactly how should she move around him.

He wanted so bad to let his body rest in between her legs and eat her out and give her the pleasure she deserved, but he was afraid he was going to get wild and touch her injuries in the process, and that was the last thing he had in mind, so he would have to remain on his side, but he angled his torso towards her to have a better access and kiss her to let her know he had control and everything she deemed inappropriate, she must not be afraid to tell him.

In her mind, Sakura was well aware that she knew absolutely nothing of what she should do.

Of course, there was Karin echoing in her mind that had some tips for her virgin state, but she realized nothing could have prepared her for the real deal, so the emerald eyed agent let her much more experienced raven haired boss take the lead and have control, not disturbed that she was dominated by him.

The only worry the Sound agent got, was that her just staying there doing absolutely nothing to please him in return, would only bore him until he would not want her anymore, but the way he kissed her assured her that was totally not the case.

As slow as he could, Sasuke let a long lean digit rub her exposed entrance, making sure she was as moist as possible and gently entered her slick passage, feeling his mind explode into billion of solar particles at the feel of how tight she really was, not quite able to stop envisioning another part of his body getting lost into her hotness.

He let his skilled digit advance further, then coming up just as carefully, not to hurt her, setting up a lazy pace, feeling her inner walls pump more of her essences and constrict further.

"Argh…"

Sakura could not help but let go of her boss` shoulders and grip the silky navy bed sheet hard, arching her back more into his touch, throwing her head backwards feeling like her all body has been magnetized and pulled up in the sky, the sensation mind blowing.

She could not believe how he was touching her and when she felt a finger slipping past her rosy inner petals, straight into the core of her purity, leisurely pumping her, venturing further and further inside her slick passage she lost her sanity for real.

All he body felt out of her control, invaded by a totally unfamiliar surge of adrenaline, fire, rain and something she did not have a name for, like all the natural elements were blooming into the pits of her stomach, making all her fibers and muscles convulse.

The pink haired agent pushed her hips forward unconditionally, to meet Sasuke`s digit halfway, increasing his pace and taking him deeper inside her, knocking the wind out of her lungs.

"Sakura, breathe…"

But what the raven haired Uchiha told her was utterly impossible. When Sakura tried to breathe, it was like she inhaled not just air, but him as well and she could not withstand the intensity of the energy washing through her body at the moment.

She felt dynamic electrical discharges all over her spine, her blood was burning her veins, all her muscles were quivering and her toes were curling in pure bliss. Sakura had no word to describe the amazing beatitude she was given.

And it was not only about physical contact, but the reason why Sakura was feeling that good, although she was exposed to him was because of the trust she had in the onyx eyed Uchiha and the reassurance he placed into her.

Whenever she felt shy or inexperienced, his lips were finding her own in an instance, letting her know how much he wanted the moment they shared.

His patience with her was making her heart melt. Sasuke had many women in his bed, but the emerald eyed agent knew he did not treat them like he was calmly waiting for her to adjust to his movements, because she got her proof if she remembered the time she saw him with another woman in a hotel room and it was nothing like they were doing now.

Feelings…he was respecting her because her cared for her and her well being. Not even once had he touched an injury or a bruise, and even in that moment he was restraining himself and depriving himself from finding pleasure, just to show her how amazingly great was to have this sort of feel over someone else.

There was a weird sensation the emerald eyed girl could not explain, pooling in her lower abdomen, like the raising sun over the mountains, and it only intensified with every pump Sasuke did, begging for some sort of relief.

Only she did not know how to ask for it, because Sakura did not know what it really was, the sensation totally alien. It was only one think she knew for certain and that was the slow pace started to not be enough.

"S..Sasuke…I…faster…"

She did not need to ask for it, because Sasuke was well aware of what her body was signalizing him.

The beautiful lady wanted release, but her inexperienced pure state was not able to voice out loud what she needed from him.

How much the Uchiha heir wanted to replace his finger with his own throbbing shaft and let her know exactly how deep could they connect and how much more sparkling energy could happen between them, but he knew it was not the moment to do so.

But he complied with her need and stroked her faster, watching in delight how her lips parted and her emerald eyes went wide open, eying the wall above, her damp locks sticking on her sweaty shoulders, making her look more ethereal than she was.

Even in the position she was, she was receiving pleasure in her own innocent way and it drove Sasuke crazy. She was extraordinary beautiful like no known language was able to describe her.

Vaguely has the young Uchiha realized the flashback he had had so many similarities with the situation, but he was too engulfed at the view of her raising full chest with every sharp inhale she did, totally enraptured by his movements.

The only think Sasuke was upset with, was the fact that it was dark in the room and he could not see how astonishing her virginal feminine features really were, but he refrained from turning on any source of light, aware of the fact that the darkness was providing some kind of shelter to her exposed body and probably made her feel less shy.

It was there Sakura felt it when Sasuke fastened his pace and angled his long digit to hit a deeper spot inside her, and it felt like a tornado raising in her body, waiting the proper moment to hit her and throw her straight on cloud nine.

That burning sensation only made her core more moist and her quintessence to leak over the raven haired Uchiha`s hand, signalizing him she would not last much longer in her state.

"Aaahhh…please…." Sakura was aware that something really powerful is going to happen through her body and….

Bang!

Both Sasuke and Sakura jumped like burned at the sound of the back door opened, the moment completely ruined. Sakura let her drained of energy body hit the bed, trying to regain her breath, while Sasuke wasted absolutely no second in taking his pistol from under the bed and bolt in the direction of the living room.

"Whoever interrupted me, by trespassing my property is dead!" When Sasuke went down the stairs, not bothered by the fact that he was totally naked, let his onyx heated stare dart through the room, catching the sight of an unknown bulky silhouette.

He raised the gun at his level, preparing to shoot if necessary, swiftly letting his available hand slip to the wall and find the switch.

And when he turned on the light, the raven haired man swore he was going to murder some imbeciles right there and dispose of the body in his old neighbors` swimming pool.

"Dobe…you have three seconds to explain what the fuck are you doing in my house, before I turn you into a human target. And I must say, out of 100 head shoots I missed none."

Naruto looked like he was in a cardiac arrest at the sight of his friend, clad in his boxers, sweating and looking…were his ears slightly red?!

like he has been interrupted from something important, pointing a firearm in his direction. He dropped the bag he intended to take on the trip that was about to come in four hours and let covered his racing heart with his hand.

"Teme…what the fuck…you scared me shitless!"

Sasuke rolled his onyx eyes, lowering his gun and folded his arms around his chest eying his friend intently. "You enter my house at midnight and I am the one scaring you? The hell are you doing here?"

"I got thrown away from the house." It was the truth. Naruto was busy trying in vain to beat Sakura`s record in the zombie game, until he overcharged the electrical system and threw their villa into a blackout. Neji had no problem with that, because he was already in bed.

Apparently, Ten Ten was watching the final episode of a soap opera she was following so when she realized what happened, the chestnut eyed agent barged into the blonde`s room, grabbed him by the hem of his T-Shirt and kindly threw him outside, along with his stuff for the next day, advising him to sleep under the clear sky.

So Naruto went with the most logical option, and that being using his key to enter Sasuke`s villa and sleep on the couch. Simple as that.

Sasuke snorted loudly. "Again?"

"Yeah."

"Fuckin idiot."

"Bastard."

The Uzumaki heir scratched the back of his neck, eying his friend apologetically. "Can I take the coach?"

Sasuke considered his options. There were barely four hours left and him, Sakura and his imbecile friend were supposed to go and meet the rest of the participants, so it only made sense they were going together since Naruto managed to anger his mother…for the millionth time.

And no, the onyx eyed Uchiha did not question himself how his friend entered the villa, because he was aware he had a spare key.

It was him who let it on the desk and left the house on purpose for him not to bother his sleep whenever Kushina decided to be a good mother and kick her son outside. That woman was scary as fuck in his opinion.

The coal eyed man turned his back to an expectant cerulean eyed man, returning to his room, to an expectant Sakura, entertaining the idea of decorating his best friend`s body with some well placed bullets. "Fuck you Naruto."

"Thanks bastard!"

Sasuke entered his bedroom, locking the door, not wanting any nocturnal surprise from uninvited guest, taking a seat beside Sakura and pulling her into his embrace, covering both with the bed sheet. The emerald eyed lady let her head rest on his broad chest, placing a soft kiss upon his heart.

"Who was it?"

"The world`s number one dobe."

Sakura let out a soft giggle, knowing exactly how the Akatsuki agent entered the house, imagining it was probably because one of the other colleagues of his threw him outside. And she went as far as to guess it was Tennie-meannie who had enough of his games.

"You are a good friend, you know that?"

Sasuke shut his eyes, trying to fell asleep as fast as possible, feeling more than tired. "I am going to kill him someday."

"Hmmm…no you are not." The Sound agent let her body relax in Sasuke`s secure embrace, feeling sleep slowly but surely taking her senses. And Sasuke`s small unique moon on his wrist was the last thing her emerald eyes saw before she fell into slumber.

}{

Naruto climbed the stairs, in search for the holly bathroom, cursing Sasuke and his too complicated for his tiny brain villa. He totally forgot about the one from the first floor, knowing there was another one upstairs.

But he stopped his feet from advancing further when his tired eyes caught the sight of Sakura`s opened bedroom door, the owner nowhere near.

But what was even more suspicious, was the fact that Sasuke`s bedroom door was shut. His face got an evil twist, grinning widely, ideas that would make Jirayia cry tears of happiness and proud crossing his mind.

The Akatsuki agent rushed downstairs, pulled out his phone and returned upstairs, stopping in between the two doors, having them both into the camera`s field of view, inwardly laughing like a manic. He took twenty pictures to be sure, rubbing his palms together.

"…this…is blackmail at his finest."

Author`s Note: So, I am sorry if this chapter lacked much different scenes, but I meant it to be Sasuke and Sakura centered for the sole reason of wanting to show their relationship going further. It is necessary to do so for the upcoming events.

Yes, Ino and her family would pay an important role in the story, but maybe I am going to have mercy on her at the end and redeem her…or not hehe

Of course I was going to finish the hospital scene, but I wanted to end it there because I found it to be a perfect cliffhanger. Hope it came out well.

Well Sasuke is a gentlemen and I stated he is not barging into her privacy so no, he did not searched through her belongings like Suigetsu. Have no fear, he is going to find out about her, but not like this.

Thank you guys for the amazing feedback and I do hope you will enjoy this chapter as well. And thank you for checking out my other story as well. You are the best readers ever!
