Sorry about this but Im in a hurry so no big note today. Please review.

Sakura awoke at dawn after fifteen minutes of restless sleep heaving a sigh of mixed emotions. Today was going to be interesting indeed after last night. Thinking back to the night before she began to wonder if she would be lonely. Gaara and Temari had come to see her around mid-afternoon Some trouble had come up in Suna, and only the Kazekage and his family could handle it. So he would be gone for five days to straighten it out. She never knew how the sand siblings were able to travel from Suna to Konoha in a day and a half. Sure she had her theories, but there was no rock solid evidence to back it up. Flying was one of them. Flying was always faster than running, and Temari could in fact fly with the help of her giant fan. Gaara however could always travel by what she called sandportation. He always seemed faster than Kyuubi when riding the sand. Kankuro on the other hand never seemed to have a mode of transportation. That's what confused her the most. It would give him two days to finish his fitting for the festival along with alterations. Before he left he sounded almost worried that she would forget him. It tugged on her heart-strings and caused a smile to spread on her lips. She told him he had nothing to worry about and she would miss him.

After dinner Itachi and Kiba came for a visit to say goodbye. They were being sent on separate missions in the morning that would take at least four days including travel. Apparently Sai had not been told he would be sent on a similar mission because an hour after Itachi and Kiba left he showed up. She learned the three had the same mission but were on different teams. Tora had been spotted a days run from the village away and all available ANBU were to pursue him with the exception of Shisui. He had been assigned as her personal guard until the teams returned. Hopefully with Tora's body.

Shisui had decided that Sakura was to be moved to the Uchiha compound until the rest of the men came back. This way he could watch over Sakura and his aunt Mikoto. This caused Sakura to smile. She would finally get some time with Mikoto and Kushina whom seemed to visit often. If Sakura was to be honest she loved both women as if they were her own mother. When Sakura's own mother passed away they, along with Tsunade. had been by her side consoling her. When her father passed away they were there again with Dan, Minato, and Shisui.

A light tapping on the door to her soon to be former hospital room door brought Sakura back from her thoughts. Turning her head to the door she smiled. Think of the devil and he shall appear. There in the door way stood a very uneasy Shisui. It was no secret he didn't like hospitals. In fact he would amputate before going if he had a choice in the matter. Unfortunately for him Sakura was a patient and he would not miss out on time with her for the world. She noticed the plastic bag within his hands and raised an eyebrow. With a smile he walked over to her and placed a kiss to her forehead.

"I have come to liberate you my dear Hime." He joked placing the bag into her hands.

"What's this?" She asked looking inside with a laugh. "An escape plan?"

"I realized that you didn't have anything to wear when you were discharged and Tsunade told me to make sure you were comfortable. I didn't want to go through your clothes because I don't know how you feel about that and then I remembered how comfortable you were in my clothes last time. So I just grabbed some of my own that would keep you warm and headed over." He wasn't lying but at the same time he wasn't telling the entire truth and he knew it. Sakura pulled the clothes out of the bag with a smile and placed her discharge papers inside then slipped off of the bed and entered the little bathroom to change.

"Is it cold outside?" She asked as she slipped on the dark red long sleeve shirt. The material slightly baggy and warm.

"Yeah it seems the weather is changing quickly." Shisui called back looking out of the window. His ears picking up the sound of cloth ruffling as she put on the pants that were clearly to big for her.

"I hope I don't freeze before we get to the compound." She said walking out of the bathroom causing him to turn to look at her. His eyes swept over her causing a grin to curl his lips. She began to move the hair from the shirt as he crossed the room which didn't take long. Shisui smiled as she pulled the pants back to her hips and pulled the draw string to tie it. She pouted unconsciously as the sleeves got in the way.

"Your pants hate me." Sakura looked into Shisui's eyes as she said this. With a chuckle he tied the strings for her and pulled her to him by the waist. She smiled as his nose caressed hers gently as if he was her lover.

"The only reason anyone or thing would hate you is sheer ignorance of how amazing you are." He smiled as her cheeks began to tint with pink. His lips brushed hers gently and took her hand tugging her out of the room and hospital.

"You were right it is cold." She shivered as they walked hand in hand both not noticing. Shisui pulled her closer and draped his arm around her shoulders to share his warmth. This caught the attention of a few people but neither shinobi noticed as they continued to the Uchiha complex. Once they arrived his eyes scanned the area for his annoying cousin who's chakra he felt near by. Sakura had apparently felt it as well because she had become defensive with the way she held her body as he opened the door. Once it was opened she was inside pulling him with her to get out of the cold.

"Don't worry about Sasuke he wouldn't try anything while I'm here Sakura." Shisui smiled pulling her into his arms as he closed the door. Once they deposited there shoes he took her hand and began walking down a hallway.

"Where are we going Shisui?" She asked a little confused.

"To my room. That's where you'll be sleeping with me for the next few nights." Shisui smiled looking back at her as he walked her to his door. His double meaning wasn't lost on her.

"You make that sound so dirty Shisui." She laughed as they stopped in front of his bed room.

"Any other woman would have slapped me for that comment." He chuckled opening the door allowing her to enter and following after her.

"Now I'm any other woman?" She feigned a look of hurt.

"No Sakura your one of a kind." He grinned pulling her to him and kissed her softly. He had expected to kiss her with no response as always but that was not the case. She kissed him back gently.

"You've been so good to me Shisui thank you." She almost whispered as she rested her head on his shoulder. Shisui smiled hugging her back with a smile.

"It's the least I can do to repay you for everything you have done." HIs fingers ran through her hair slowly. Her yawn causing him to chuckle. She was so strong, so smart, and beautiful. Yet she was frail, and breakable at the same time. She was a contradiction in every way and he loved that about her. Maybe he even loved her. He had only felt something similar once before and at the moment he didn't care to analyze it. He lifted her slender frame with ease holding her bridal style as and carried her to his bed.

"Shisui what are you doing?" Sakura gasped as she was dropped into his bed.

"Sleeping with you Sakura." Shisui said climbing over her and kissing her lips before laying behind her. Sakura relaxed cuddling into his chest trusting him completely. He held her closer wrapping an arm around her waist. Her eyes began to droop and soon closed as she drifted into unconsciousness. "I promise Sakura I will protect you from the world."
