"Come Together"

Chapter 15 " The Day After"

The next morning the sun rose high and bright, bringing sunshine into Sakura's hospital room. Sasuke noticed all the brightness throughout the room through his eyelids but he wanted to rest longer so as he quietly growled, he brought the cherry blossom girl closer to him. He inhaled her scent, making him relax once again and went back to sleep.

A few minutes later, Sakura opened up her eyes and looked up to see Sasuke's face entangled with her pink locks. She smiled at the scene and then realization sucked in.

Starting today, she will be living with Sasuke Uchiha for the next two weeks. The man sleeping right next to her with his arm wrapped possessively around her waist was now her boyfriend and she will finally leave the hospital today. She giggled a little bit at the thought of being around Sasuke for 24/7 but the giggle that slipped threw her mouth went unnoticed by her boyfriend who heard her and slowly opened up his eyes. Sakura felt a shift on the bed and looked up to see Sasuke's face again but surprised her just a little bit when she found onyx colored eyes staring right into hers.

" Good mourning Sasuke."

Sakura spoke softly as she watched her boyfriend sit up on the bed and stretch out his arms. He looked down to see Sakura smiling up at him which caused him to smirk as he carefully leaned down to where his girlfriend's head was located and place a soft kiss on her forehead, causing Sakura to slightly blush from the contact.

" You are so cute whenever you blush."

Sasuke said as he laid back down on the bed beside her and pulled her closer to him with his arm wrapped around her waist as he nuzzled his face in her hair again. Sakura on the other hand, tried to push him away from him from embarrassment by his comment, but he only gripped his hold on her even harder.

" Sasuke... I think I should let Dr. Tsunada know that I am awake now. The faster we get this over with, the faster we can go home."

Sakura explained as she got out of bed again, this time Sasuke didn't hold her back but only because he knew she had a point and he did want her to go home with him today. He closed his eyes and silently growled, missing the warmness that was right next to him. Sakura noticed his discomfort and couldn't help but smile at his childish action then she went over to the wall and pushed the nurse button. After she pushed the button, she went back over to her bed and sat beside Sasuke, who opened up his eyes again when he felt some weight on the bed again.

" Mine."

Sasuke stated to his girlfriend as he wrapped his arm again around her lower waist and crawled closer to her so he could put his head down on her lap. He was so content at the moment, he didn't want anything to ruin this moment. Sakura reached down with her hand and gently started to comb his black hair with her slender fingers. She flinched slightly when Sasuke's hand grabbed her hand that was in between his hair and watched his head get up from her lap. He was now sitting up next to her a placed his hand on one of her cheeks, having his thumb brush her skin lightly as he watched her close her eyes from his action.

" Sakura."

Sasuke said as he watched her open up her eyes to look at him. Now was the chance he was waiting for ever since the first time he met the cherry blossom. Sakura noticed his face getting closer and closer to hers and figured out what he was planning on doing so she moved her head closer to hers and closed her eyes as she began to feel contact on her lips from his. It was a sweet kiss at first but then both of them pushed harder while Sasuke place his other hand on her hip with his other hand still on her cheek as Sakura wrapped both of her arms around his neck. She felt him lick her bottom lip, asking for permission to enter and she happily opened up for him as both of their tongues filled with ecstasy dancing around each other. Both of them wanted to continue but they heard a knock on the door and immediately separated from each other just in the right amount of time so when Dr. Tsunada walked into the room, she didn't noticed what the two were doing before she had entered.

" It seems like the two love birds are finally awake." Tsunada said with a smile on her face as she watched Sasuke getting off of the bed and Sakura turned her head and blushed.

" How are you feeling today Sakura?" Tsunada asked her patient.

" Yes I am. Can I still go home today?" Sakura asked.

" Yes you can. Unfortunately you need to take a shot before you leave that will make you very tired and might back you sick but I figured since you will be staying with Sasuke, you can leave with him instead of waiting another day to leave." Tsunada said.

" Okay that is fine with me. Is that okay with you Sasuke?" Sakura turned her head to look at her boyfriend who was standing by the window with his arms crossed. He turned his head to look at her and nodded back to answer her question.

" Okay then I'm going to get the shot ready and I will be back. Don't worry you are only getting this one shot and no more blood work or anything else." Tsunada said.

" That is great news! I am getting sick and tired of being pricked like a weird experiment or something." Sakura joked as Sasuke smirked at her response.

" Okay I will be back in a few minutes." Tsunada said as she walked out of the room, leaving the two behind.

" Hello?"

" Itachi? It's me Naruto."

" Hey what's up man?"

" Nothing much. What's up with you?"

" Cleaning house. Sakura comes home from the hospital today and Sasuke wanted me to clean the whole house before they get here. What a fucking drag."

" Oh shit dude I bet."

" Yeah but since it's Sakura I'll do it."

" Yeah only she is worth cleaning for. Anyways I was thinking that we should have a surprise welcome home party for Sakura!"

" I don't know... Sasuke told me the last time you threw Sakura a surprise party she got really mad."

" Yeah well that was because she was sick and she hasn't seen most of her friends so I figure that we can get everyone together."

" Well you got a point there. I bet she misses everyone."

" So how about it?"

" Sure why not but only one thing you must do. It is very important that if this mission fails, everything could fall apart"

" And what would that be?"

" Someone has to bring cupcakes to the party."

"...."

" Hello? Naruto are you still there? Hello?"

" Um... Itachi.... why the hell do you want someone to bring cupcakes?"

" Because cupcakes are fucking delicious Naruto! That is why."

" Oh okay... can I ask you something Itachi?"

" What is it?"

" Are you high?"

" Yeah I am actually... how can you tell?"

" I guess I'm psychic or something."

" Wow Naruto that's deep... but yeah I always clean better whenever I get high."

" Are you serious? I am the total opposite!"

" Yeah I'm different like that. But anyways go call everyone and let them know about our plan okay?"

" Sure thing dude. We will see you in a little bit."

" Do not forget about the cupcakes Naruto. This is a very important mission."

"....."

" Hello?"

" Yeah I'm here."

" Good don't forget the cupcakes."

" Don't worry I won't forget!"

" Alright bye."

" Peace."

Naruto hung up his phone and looked down at it and began to think to himself.

' Man Itachi is one weird man when he gets high.... shit I better go get cupcakes now... knowing him he will rip my head off if I don't bring them.'

" Hello?"

" Hey Sai."

" Sasuke, what's up? Is Sakura really getting out of the hospital today?"

" Yeah she is. All Dr. Tsunada has to do is give her one more shot then we can leave."

" Awesome. Thanks again for letting her stay with you. It means a lot to me and it probably means a lot to her."

" It's okay I wouldn't want Naruto to look after her anyway."

" That is very true."

" Anyways I was calling to see if by any chance you can come pick us up at the hospital? Naruto drove my car from his place to my house and I told Itachi to clean the house before we came home today."

" Sure thing. I'll be there in 30 minutes."

" Alright man thanks again."

" Bye."

" Bye."

Sasuke walked back into Sakura's room after he had gotten off the phone with Sai. Sasuke decided to call Naruto and Sai while Sakura was getting dressed but Naruto's phone was busy at the time. He also sent Itachi a text message letting him know they were going to be at the house in the next hour. Sasuke watched Sakura putting her hospital gown on the corner of the bed and she turned to see who it was that came into her room.

" Sasuke." Sakura said with excitement as she watched her boyfriend walk up to her and quickly gave her a kiss on the lips.

" Miss me?" Sasuke questioned her as he started kissing her neck.

" Of course I did. But it seems like Mr. Uchiha over here also missed someone too." Sakura joked as she watched him back away from her body.

" Hn."

Sasuke responded as he went over and took a seat on the couch. Sakura followed him but instead of sitting next to him, she flopped down and sat on his lap.

" Is someone going to come pick us up?" Sakura asked as him as she placed her head on his shoulder.

" Yeah Sai is going to come up here in about 30 minutes. That should give Dr. Tsunada enough time to give you your shot." Sasuke said.

" Cool I am so excited! I can't believe we are going to be living together for two weeks." Sakura said but then she thought of something and the smile on her face disappeared, which Sasuke took noticed.

" Sakura, what's wrong?" Sasuke asked in a worried tone of voice as he lifted up Sakura's chin with his finger so he could look into her eyes.

" Well I like you a lot Sasuke..." Sakura began to speak but Sasuke cut her off when she felt his mouth next to her hear.

" I like you a lot too Sakura." Sasuke whispered into her ear then moved away to look into the eyes he fell in love with once again.

" You say that now Sasuke but what if after theses two weeks you won't be able to deal with me anymore." Sakura said with a hint of sadness in her tone of voice.

" I don't understand. What do you mean?"

" Well I'm sick and you will have to take care of me and what if I am too much to handle Sasuke?"

" You are annoying Sakura." Sasuke stated as he turn his head away from hers, adding more confusion to her.

" What?" Sakura asked now being a little hurt. Sasuke noticed she was beginning to be sad and started to chuckle.

" Sakura, I have been living in this hospital for a week for you. I have stayed with you when you had your check ups and that was before we even started dating so I think it's safe to say I knew what I was getting myself into when I asked you out."

Sasuke said as he turned his head back around and gave Sakura a smile, which she smiled back to.

" Sasuke..." Sakura said his name softly and she moved her head closer to his and they began to kiss once again.
