I Do Not Own Naruto

Proving Obsessions

Sakura found herself leaning into him as her hands rested on his chest and her heart was racing as she let her eyes closed and she held onto him. His mouth moved over hers' and she moved back shyly as she hesitantly returned the kiss.

No doubt this would come back to bite her on the ass; she knew it. After all, loving Sasuke had continuously come to bite her on the ass, however, for a moment she was going to indulge herself and lean into him and revel in the feeling of his mouth on hers. Of his taste filling her mouth. Of him holding her tightly as they stood there in her lab.

He backed her up, she felt the back of her thighs hit the back of the desk then as she greedily returned the kiss. A hand lifted her up and she felt things scatter beneath her as she sat and he stepped between her legs. Sakura sighed when his calloused fingers traced her jaw as he deepened the kiss, her head tilted a bit into the touch and she indulged like any other glutton with a craving. Yup, this was totally coming back to bite her in the ass, but she didn't care as she held onto him.

He pulled away when they both needed air. Her chest was heaving, pressing firmly against his chest with each breath as his brow came to rest on hers and he stared at her with serious dual colored eyes. His Rinnegan was showing and his Sharingan was bright in the dark room giving her a sense of a predator looking down on his prey.

"Proof enough?" he asked her.

"No," she replied coldly. "Anyone can kiss, Sasuke. But, if you mean it, then prove it to me."

"And how would you like the proof?" he asked her softly, she felt his thumb traced her cheek. Despite her desire to seem unwavering and unbending to his presences she felt herself leaning into his hand and staring at him with serious eyes.

"Talk to me, let me in," she whispered. He kissed her lips lightly again.

"I will try," he assured her.

"Also, I am not hopping into your bed just because I happen to like being kissed by you," she snapped sharply. He had a slight smile on his lips and she frowned. She was serious!

"I'd expect nothing less from you," he murmured as he kissed her again.

"Also, if you want me; you're really going to have to prove it. Dates, Sasuke, I'm talking about dates and courting; properly. Prove to me I'm someone you want, because I'm tired; Sasuke, I'm tired of chasing you and being hurt because of it. I'm so tired, Sasuke," she sighed as she moved her head to rest on his shoulder.

"Alright," he agreed and she closed her eyes. She was so tired of everything, she just wanted a moment to rest, it wasn't like anyone was going to care that she was exhausted. However, she felt warm and safe for a minute so she was going to sleep now.

Sasuke had felt her go slack against him and he knew she was sound asleep before he had to figure out how he was going to get her back to the bed. Carefully he managed to get her back to the hotel, do not as him how because it was challenging enough to do it without being see. Once he had her there he gently lay the girl who had always loved him on the bed again and studied her closely.

Fine, he had to prove he wanted her. He could do that, he should've figured it wouldn't be easy once she had started feeling hurt. Perhaps he should've tried harder to write her those letters. The only reason he had never tried harder to tell her what was going on was actually quite simple: he had no fucking clue what to write her.

Pathetic, he knew, but writing the dobe was hard enough, and then there was Sakura.

However, if she wanted him to work to get her then so be it. He would endure dates, he would figure out how to let her in, he would figure this out. Uchihas were not quitters. He knew this; his entire family; regardless of what they had been fighting for, fought until they were done or dead. Sakura was no different to him in this aspect, he'd figure out how to get the girl to realize he liked her.

Now for the next step though; what the hell was a date!?

He was going to have to write Kakashi, and Sasuke dreaded the thought. True he knew what a date was, but what the hell did people do on dates? That's what he didn't know and there was simply no way in hell he was asking the dobe for an explaination. Kakashi would be easier to ask; in a way he and Kakashi had reconciled and come to some degree of understanding of one another. And Kakashi was really the closest thing to family he had left; however, he also knew Kakashi was protective of Sakura like she was his own kid so he knew he'd have to be very careful about how he handled this with Kakashi.

Sasuke moved a stray strand of pink hair from her brow and looked her over carefully. She was sleeping soundly, he guessed he was to blame for her passing out too; in some demented way. In some way, all of this, was undoubtedly his fault as he stood up then and left her asleep.

He had a threat against her to eliminate before it could fester up and destroy her.

He knew she'd never know this, and he hoped to high Kami no one ever discovered this, but Kabuto had had a sick obsession over the pinkette and her medical skills. Honestly it had creeped Sasuke out how eager Kabuto would always be to fight her.

No matter, he had Kabuto's apprentice to deal with now and he was keeping the creep away from Sakura at all costs.

That's all for now folks!

Enjoy Only Tears! =)
