If you'd like to see some more of everything SasuSaku, if your life isn't already completely overrun by them, check out my blog on tumblr: ) sk8trgurl247 Cherry Tomato. I post everything Naruto, Team 7 and SasuSaku related. And for those of you who have been asking, it is titled illecebris because that is latin for "seduction" or "enticing". That is what the bulk of my story is about, these two enticing each other and breaking through that sexual tension that has been between them the entire original series. Or in my opinion, anyway. Any who, enjoy the new installment of illecebris featuring Sasuke's point of view, Chapter 4!
Chapter 4
Sasuke's POV
Sakura and Sasuke ran down the long corridor of prisoners towards the exit. Koga had killed Marko, and Sasuke had killed Koga. But not for that reason. Thinking of Koga even attempting to do what he was about to do made his fists curl up again making his knuckles go white. He wished he could've spent more time killing him, instead of using just one blow. Sakura broke him of his fantasy of different ways he could've tortured the mob brat.
"The others..we have to set them free."
Of course. Typical Sakura.
"Fine. Get the left side, I've got the right."
The two released all the prisoners, who gratefully thanked them before running off to escape. The upper class above would have a field day with this. Guards running frantic, and random prisoners they didn't know exist attempting to escape and maybe sending a couple of them to hell on their way out.
"Sasuke, how did you find me? How did you know I was in trouble?'
"I felt your chakra spike, I knew you would've only done so when in danger. So I came"
Simple enough, except the fact that he transported there. He didn't even think twice. He knew it would take up too much chakra. But he acted on impulse. Thinking of her in danger sent his blood boiling.
"Thank you again, Sasuke"
He remembered the first time she thanked him for saving her. The way she made him tremble..
"Welcome." He wouldn't let her do that again, he couldn't let her see him like that. So open, so vulnerable.
They reached the dinning hall, which was ripped to bits. The glorious golden tables were flipped and the tapestries all destroyed. By the released prisoners no less. Our cover was blown and the mission failed, there was no use hiding out anymore for Kakashi and Sai. They were already in the hall, assessing the damage.
"Sakura! Sasuke! What happened?" Kakashi called to them
"Well I-" Sakura started, but Sasuke interrupted.
"Koga tried to rape her, I killed him. I didn't get there in time to save Marko before he murdered him."
"Marko's dead?!" Kakashi wasn't as angry as sasuke had anticipated. In fact, he kept looking from sakura and back to sasuke. Like he could sense the change in their demeanor towards each other.
He sighed "Well, I guess it was out of our hands." Kakashi was acting increasingly odd. Sai was already always odd.
"You there! You killed our young lord! YOU MURDERER!" One of the guests was angrily pointing and screaming at Sasuke.
He continued "Guards! Get him and his whore!"
"Sasuke, take Sakura and get the hell out of her. We'll hold everyone off. Find somewhere safe, we'll meet at the rendezvous point tomorrow at dusk." With that, kakashi disappeared and started beating through the string of guards, Sai close behind.
Sasuke grabbed Sakura and picked her up bridal style. "Sasuke I am perfectly capable of walking!"
"Shut it, I'm much faster than you."
Actually, he just couldn't bear to watch her body run around in that dress anymore. It was just too much.
Sasuke leapt from the mobster's estate and into the night. The city was now overrun by guards and police. All looking for him and Sakura. He stopped in a dark ally and sat her down.
He took off his sleeveless shirt. "Here" he handed it to her without looking her way. He was too busy looking around the corner.
She understood. "Thank you, Sasuke."
She hid by a large dumpster and began taking off the dress, replacing it with his oversized shirt. It covered her like a dress. But the deep cut of the front still showed too much of her breasts. She felt like she was constantly showing him far too much. But it just couldn't be helped.
When she emerged he approached her.
"We can find shelter in the woods outside the city for the night, a storm is coming and they'll probably put off the search until the morning. We can sleep there and then head to the rendezvous point around dusk to meet the others."
Sakura nodded, "Sounds good"
Sasuke didn't carry her this time. His shirt covered her enough while she stood but if he picked her up it would graze up her legs a little too far. He decided to let her run on her own.
They leapt through the trees until Sakura caught sight of a cave just beside a small ravine just as it started to rain.
"Hey look!" she pointed towards it.
Better than nothing. Sasuke jumped down towards it, sakura following suit.
Sakura
They entered the small cave and Sasuke moved a large boulder to seal them inside while Sakura created a small fire to keep them warm through the storm.
Sakura couldn't help but notice Sasuke's nude upper body. His muscles were unnerving, he was so incredible it made her palms sweat. It didn't help that her shirt smelled like him. Like pine needles and the air before a storm. It suffocated her.
"What?" he caught her staring.
She jumped "Nothing! I made a fire.."
"Good, nice thinking Sakura." She lived for the small compliments her gave her.
Sasuke sat by the fire, opposite her, resting his elbows on his knees.
"Are you alright?" He looked at her, with true concern.
"Yes..I've never..I honestly have never been so terrified. To think a man could ever treat a woman that way..to treat anyone that way."
"It's vile." There was poison in his tone. He hated Koga. He wanted him alive again so he could torture him back to death.
"Sakura."
"Yes?"
"What was the meaning of that back there?"
"What?" she knew what he was referring to. But she wanted to hear him say it.
"You know what I'm talking about." He was getting annoyed.
"I had to test a theory.."
"What kind of theory?" he was intrigued now.
"uhm..what you did in the room we shared..I wanted to see what would happen if you got a taste of your own medicine."
"So you're theory was I wouldn't show any reaction."
"Pretty much.."
"Hmpf."
Sakura was beginning to blush. She regretted her actions, she wish she could've taken it back. Taken everything back. But she was too far in now.
"I'm cold." Sasuke's sudden words startled her out of her thoughts.
"Huh?"
"I'm going to need my shirt back."
"Sa—sasuke I don't have anything else to where!"
"That's not my problem."
What was he thinking? She'd be completely naked if he took it back.
He stood "Sakura, give it back."
"Bu-but Sasuke"
He walked over towards her. She stood up, furious.
"No! I am not going to walk around naked because you're cold if you're that damn cold sit your ass by the fire!"
"Sakura" his tone was kind, and calm. It surprised her.
He stretched out his hand and touched her face where it was swollen from Koga's blow.
"I will never let something like that happen to you again. No one will touch you."
"Sasuke.."
His hand brushed her hair behind her ear, and glided it down her neck and took hold of the collar of his shirt she wore. He leaned in, his lips to her ear.
"I'm still going to have to take this from you."
"Sasuke wait!"
"What?"
"Why are you playing with me.." Tears were beginning to show up in her eyes.
"Sakura..I"
"NO JUST SHUT UP. I'm done playing games with you! You know how I feel but I have no clue how you feel about me. It's unnerving. It makes me want to scream. You keep doing these things..that make me so happy. But, but you're just playing with me aren't you!? Sasuke!"
Before she could finish, Sasuke had closed the space between them. And stopped her curses with his lips sealed onto hers.
Sakura's eyes stayed open in shock, tears still running down her face. Once she realized what was happening to her was real, and not just a dream she had always had, she closed her eyes. And kissed him back
