Chapter 3
"Hn." Sasuke couldn't believe this. As he sat on the edge of her bed, lightly drenched, simply sitting there, and looking at the unconscious girl on his bed. Irritation rose within him.
How did it turn out like that?
Let us rewind a bit…
o-o-o-o-o
Two drenched bodies intimately moved against each other next to the poolside. Muffled sounds and moans filled the air. With Sakura's body half heartily gave in, the sensual feelings hazed her mind in a way she couldn't describe. Even processing a simple thought through her mind was a hard task. At that time, both of Sasuke hands were all over her body. Wandered freely, pushing her shirt higher above her breasts. Sakura was clinging onto Sasuke's dear shoulders, half enthusiastically pushing him away.
"Don't ~ ~ Sasu ~ ~ …!" Gasp. She thrashed her head to the side. Sasuke had his head buried between her breasts. With his hand kneading the right, his mouth was sucking, nibbling, and licking the left. Leaving traces of him imprinted onto her skin.
'Sweet…' Sasuke couldn't get enough of her. The scent, the taste, the feeling was too much. It was all too much, even for him. As she moaned out his name, she gripped, pulled, and pushed him away. But Sasuke only felt encouraged. He dragged his lips downward, leaving a trail of his hot breath fluttering on her moist skin. His rough hands seized her hips, holding her in place.
"Sasuke-kun…" She joisted up from her position and grabbed his black hair. Eyes closed at the sight of his head between her bent legs. Nearing but not touching. Closing to her precious prize…
'Jackpot.' Sasuke slowly tugged on the string. Lick. Her panting quickened with each flush of hot air upon her skin.
Sakura was now grabbing, hugging onto him for her beloved soul. Grating her nails and making his skin bleed where ever was possible. To Sasuke, it was turning him on much, much more. Her temperature boiled beyond average. Heavily hot breathing, her mind was clouded. Eyes glazed with a dark hazel green. Sasuke was slowly savoring his treat and dragging his fingers under the small garb.
Inch by inch, he slowly advanced...Suddenly; he felt the girl's body froze and fell back to the ground with a thud.
'What?!' He stopped and looked up from between her thighs. "Sakura?" He huskily said her name. His body painfully moved back up to face her.
…
"The fuck. She's asleep? " The realization angered his mind. However, anger replaced by surprise when he found that her face wasn't red from their heated contact. In fact, her body was unusually hot as in temperature. Her breathing was abnormal.
"Fever?" The revelation made him quickly carried the girl inside, forgetting his own 'problem'. [He can deal with it in the shower]
Kicking the door opened, he gently placed her softly on the bed. Dashing outside to retrieve the medical kit, he came back along with a towel and a robe. One that was long and thick enough to cover her feverish body.
'Problem.' After placing down the medic kit, Sasuke stood on the side holding the robe and the towel. Obsidians stared at the feverish girl. The predicament was how should be change the girl. 'This girl…' He shuddered at the thought. 'How am I…How should I…?' Not wasting any more time, because the heck with that question, he practically had seen everything. So why not...
And he regretted the bloody decision the moment her shirt was remove. It was truly a hard task to complete. Wiping her body dry with his mind cleared of unnecessary thoughts had became the painful to endure.
Setting her head on his shoulder, Sasuke carefully covered the girl in the fluffy bathrobe that Naruto got for him from several Christmas ago. 'Never thought this would be useful, but this won't do.' He realized her bed and the cover were soaked from both of their bodies. Lifting her up, he once again carried her to his room, placing her on his bed.
[...]
'Hn. One hunded and one. Cheh…and she said Angel don't get sick. Angel or not. You're still a girl…' A short pause in his mind, 'and I'm a man.' He slowly moved his hand to separate her wet bang and clear them away. Sakura's face flushed. Her lips were inviting to him. Unconsciously, he moved his head forward, closing the distance between them.
Unaware, their lips met.
So addictive, it was hard to stop nibbling on her lips. His hands cupped her face, lifting it from the pillows. His tongue was ready to taste the chasteness of this Angel.
Ring…Ring…
Luckily, the phone rang, stopping him from losing his control again. He set the girl back down and covered her with the comforter then walked out to greet the caller.
o-o-o-o-o
Phone slid open.
"What is it, Shika?"
-"Ino wants to talk to Sakura."-
"She's busy right now."
-"Heeey!"- Sasuke placed the phone away from his ear to block the high pitch voice.-
"What"
-"Where's Sakura-chan?"-
"Not here. Just tell me."
-"Um. Well… I'm not sure if I should discuss it with you…."-
"Say it." He was irritated now.
-"hmp, prude… well if you must know. Does Sakura need lingerie?"-
Twitch. "I said, get her everything she needs. Regardless. Whatever you deem necessary."
-"Fine! Then I'll get her a new boy toy."-
More twitches
-"Hahaha joking joking"-
'She probably can and will… that woman is too dangerous.' Sasuke knew too damn well.
o-o-o-o-o
The evening sun painted the room with a shield of velvet red once again.
Blink…blink…blink Pink lashes fluttered open.
'Where am I?' Sakura was still under daze as her mind slowly cleared up. 'What am I doing in Sasuke-kun's room?' She looked under the comforter.
'Wait. We… he… wah…!' Sakura noticed that she was dressed completely different from before. Panic ran through her body.
'No no no no no no no no no nooooooooo…'
'Nothing could have happened ...right? Sasuke-kun isn't that type… well he did… but he wouldn't take advantage of me in the state … breathed in … okay … breathed out … let's just pretend nothing happened. Yea…' she reassured herself.
She pulled her robe tightly closed and moved her body from Sasuke's bed.
o-o-o-o-o
"Sasuke-kun!?" She cried out for him. 'Where did he run off to? Is he out there?'
The door creaked open as Sakura stepped outside. "What are you doing out there…..Sakura" Sasuke voice darkly slipped through Sakura's mind.
Images of their previous activity rushed through her mind. Her face was beaming red as the glowing sun. She shyly turned around refusing to meet his gaze. But once she noticed he was standing there at the doorway with bags of groceries. She went ahead and…"Woa! You went to the market without me!" …ran to his side. "Hn." He gracefully walked to the kitchen with Sakura following behind.
Like a little child, she curiously looked and removed the articles from the bags.
"Stop." Sasuke touched her hand and she recoiled away in shock.
"Hn. Go back to bed." He ordered, noticing the girl's reaction.
"I'm fine. It was only because I was tired. That's why I fainted. I got my sleep now I'm fine." She pouted in protest.
"Hn." Sasuke caught on to Sakura's little amnesia scheme. Figuring out that she was trying to ignore their heated moment by the pool, surely he wouldn't tolerate that.
"How could you go without me?" She whined.
He continued to arrange the groceries, ignoring the girl.
"I can't believe you shopped." Sakura couldn't see Sasuke in a market and picking out fruits.
"What's unbelievable about it? I've been living by myself since I was in college." He felt a little annoyed by her prejudgment.
"Uh. How long ago was that?" Intrigue, she felt a small spark of information being thrown her way.
"Ten years." A simple answer was given.
"And how old are you now?" Little skeptical, he looked excessively young to be graduating that long. Sakura was feeling foolish. He had better not be joking with her. Although, she knew for sure that he was not a jester.
"Twenty-two." He replied in plain tone as if it was an average event.
"WHAT!" A loud smack, Sakura slammed herself on the counter in surprise."Wow. How can you be in college at that age! Twelve?"
Feeling a surge of arrogant boiling in his blood, he was wagging an imaginary tail. Casually, Sasuke responded, "Hn." Then decided the little angel was asking way too much, he grabbed her wrist again, this time more roughly that she couldn't back away.
"Go rest." He commanded with dark auras.
The pink blob retreated.
[…]
"Hmp. How mean. Treating me like a child." She grumbled as she sat in his bed with her arms crossed.
Yawn. "Ahhh…well. I guess I should take the advantage and rest." She settled herself into his soft pillows again and slept away.
[…]
Sasuke was standing in the kitchen gripping the stove's handle. His mind recalled the scene when Sakura leaned forward before. The gap of the open robe was excessively wide for him. He had to the send her away before things got out of hand…again.
o-o-o-o-o
Somewhere, at main shopping district street, Ino and Hinata happily walked and talked with each other. Shika following behind with arms filled of merchandise bags from hours of shopping. Not including the stuff in his car.
Oy. This was pure torture.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
o-o-o-o-o
Chop. Chop.
Well, you hardly could see this sight every day.
Sasuke was wearing an apron and chopping onions in the kitchen diligently. He was really slicing those green onions in to pieces. Too focused in cutting them; he hardly noticed the pot of soup was boiling and overflowing. Clumsily turning off the stove and wiping it clean, he attempted to clear up the mess he made.
Ha. He may look awesomely cool standing there but his cooking skill sucked. All those years in college, he was only buying instant already prepared meals.
'Fuck… grr…oh well.'
Sasuke poured the soup into the bowl and spread the green onion slices on it. Settling it on a tray with the medicine, he took it to his room where Sakura was sleeping soothingly.
Placing it down on the table next to the bed, he went to wake up the sleeping angel whose body was deep under the comforter. Moving the edge down, he saw her alluring face. Thump.
Long lash eyes were closed. Puffy red lips. Cheeks flushed red due to the fever.
Poke…poke…nudge…nudge…no respond from the girl.
"Sakura." Leaning down, he breathed in to her ear and in a short mille-second. "Yah!" She suddenly sat up, hitting Sasuke on the head in result of him falling on to the floor.
"Uhhh…" Shakily, Sakura brought her hands up to cover her ears. That was chilling. Her spine was still shaking from the quick racing pulse that surged through her.
"What was that for?" Sasuke stood up from the ground holding his head. 'I'm beginning to reconsider keeping this so call guardian angel.'
"I should ask you that!" She pouted.
"You need to wake up to eat." He countered.
"Huh?" She looked at him a bit queer. "I told you already. Angels don't eat!"
"Then whose stomach is it that's grumbling right now?" He was starting to feel slightly furious.
Grumble…
"uhh…" She touched her stomach. 'So this is hunger.' Paused. 'No. Don't tell me…When the master took away my ability…He actually turned me in to a human.' Shock!
More grumbling… it was really crying for food.
Her skin turned pale at the thought. "Fine...Fine…" She was about to get up but Sasuke held her down.
"Whoa?"
"Where are you going?"
Hesitantly, she answered, "Outside to eat?"
"Stay there."
"Heh?"
He placed the soup tray on her lap. "Here."
Sakura shocked in surprise by his action again. It was so random.
"Th...Thank you…Sasuke-kun." She smiled at him with watery eyes. Looking at the tray, her mind screamed at the way it looked, not the most edible thing, but she was happy.
"Don't think much of it." He noticed her teary moment. "I hate owing favors. This is only because you took care of me the other night." 'Even though it was your fault.' He stood up and walked away.
o-o-o-o-o
Door closed.
Tears were freely falling down her cheeks. She was truly touched… 'No one has ever…'
Slowly picking up the spoon, she tasted the soup. Even though Sakura hardly eat food but she still has taste buds.
"Bleh!" She said loudly … making a 'bleh' face. "Surely he didn't pass Food Ed class." To her sudden surprise. Slam! The door swung opened.
"Give me it!" It appeared Sasuke had been standing behind the door waiting for Sakura's reaction. He was a bit mad at her respond ... Just a tad bit ... Actually, it was purely embarrassment.
"Wait! Don't!" She grabbed his hands to stop him from taking it away. In the short struggling battle, their eyes made contact. 'Tears?' He saw her eyes and stopped. Even though, he had seen her crying numerous times since the moment they first met but it was different now. "Hn." He withdrew his hands and sat down on the edge.
"Hee" She slowly finished the soup without further complains.
The room was silent. It was not the kind of awkwardness that made people feel uneasy. It was a warming silence that made the atmosphere very soothing and comfortable. The color pink was floating everywhere.
[…]
"Woa. So full." Sakura had finished her first full meal.
'She really did finish it.' Sasuke moved the tray from her. "Here. Take it." He showed her the medicine.
"Ha …Ha ... No thanks. I don't need it. I'm fine now." She nervously laughed.
"Don't push yourself. That old guy with the wings turned you human, didn't he?" Sasuke's cocky smartass voice was ringing again.
'Stop being smart.' "Hmp. So?" She made a face.
"Then here. Drink it."
"I don't need it." She turned her face away.
"Hn. You're scared of medicine aren't you?" He sneered.
"Uh ... No!" Sitting straight up, Sakura distinctly protested.
"Really…" Sasuke was a bit distracted from her pouting lips—he meant face. Putting the medicine in his mouth, he slowly advanced toward the girl.
"Wa…Wait….Sasuke-kun…I'll take it now….just give me a different one." She realized.
"Too late." He pushed her down, lowering his face to her, closing their gap again. This time, it was different. She was awake. She could feel it. He could feel it.
"Hmm... Hmmp…Sas…Hm." Darting his tongue out, licking her lower lip slowly in a lustful way. He used his tongue to part her lips, pushing the medicine in, successfully getting Sakura to take her medicine, but he couldn't find enough urge to pull away from her.
He continued his mischievousness deed, making her whimpered to his demanding kiss.
Slowly, turning dangerously aroused. Sasuke had positioned himself fully over the girl. The only thing between them was the fluffy comforter, adding to the distress. The two slowly savored each other.
Night had fallen upon Konoha City and the glass windows were showing off its luminous glory.
o-o-o-o-o
Ding. The elevator door opened for the returning of the guests.
"Come on. Na-kun. Use your muscles." Ino walked out with Shikamaru struggling behind, dragging all the bags.
"Aw. Fine. Here. I'll help you." She took the smallest bag from his hand.
'Grr. You'll get it tonight.' He silently planned revenge in his head as Ino walked ahead swinging her hip.
[…]
Ding Doong…Diiingg Dong.
Sasuke annoyingly sat up from his comfortable position napping next to the girl who was still under the cover.
"Who." It seemed he had forgotten all about Ino's mission. Languidly walked out from the room, being ill temper after waking up, he didn't care much about his appearance. His chicken-butt hair was messier than an ostrich's bump.
Opening the door slowly, he had learned his lesson. Eyes glared at the visitors.
"Hey what took you so long?" Ino went ahead and pushed the door aside then walked straight in. Shika continued his dragging of the bags, dumping it in the middle of the living room and turned around.
"Hn." Sasuke finally remembered why they were present. "To what extend did you buy?" He asked Shikamaru as he returned to the front door.
"You have no idea." He slothfully answered.
"Where are you going?"
"There're more in the car. Leave the door open." He looked at Sasuke. "Fix your hair."
"Hn." He moved his hand to touch his hair then turned to look at himself on the entrance mirror. Twitched.
"Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan! Saku-oooft!" "Be quiet" Sasuke's hand was covering Ino's mouth, preventing her from waking up the ill girl.
Pinch! Ino wasn't fond of anyone messing up her makeup.
'Gah!' "Women…" As manly as Sasuke was, a pinch hurt. He quickly pulled his hand away.
"Hmp" She rolled her eyes. "Where is she?" Ino demanded an answer in a normal hush tone.
"Hn. Just leave everything there. Then leave." 'I need some peace.'
"Nuh-uh. I need to teach Sakura-chan a few 'lessons'. No. A lot." She looked at him carefully. "Hm... Judging from your appearance … hmm …The famous Mr. Neato Uchiha isn't …" Paused Gasp. She was on to something. A sneer smirk was forming from the corner of her lips.
More twitches … "What…" He glanced to the side to ignore Ino's chilling smirk. Her eyes glared suspiciously.
"Where is Hinata?" Attempting to divert the topic, Sasuke looked to the side.
"Oh! She got kidnapped by Naruto for dinner already." Ino waved the topic away. Looking around, she was pondering where Sakura could have been. Her eyes trailed after the long hallway. Slowly she made a step forward when suddenly, "Whoa!" Thud! A loud sound of something hitting the floor came straight from Sasuke's room.
In a flash, 'Sakura' Sasuke rushed to his room, oblivious of Ino following him behind. "Ooooh. Feels nice in here." Ino exclaimed as she walked in to the top of the line architecture styled room, getting to experience such sight of luxury. Blue eyes suddenly traveled to notice how Sasuke swooned right to Sakura's side on the floor.
"Sorry the robe was too long and I'm still dizzied from the medicine. Not really used to it." She clumsily explained to Sasuke. "Ah. Ino-Chan!"
'Hn!?' That wouldn't do. Sasuke was the first to realize her robe was undone. Before Sakura could stand up and rush to Ino's side, he quickly covered the girl using his broad body.
From outside the hallway, "Whoa. What's all that ruckus in Teme's room?!" Naruto's voice sent shivers through Sasuke's spine. Perhaps he was still not recovering from his own fever. All these chills were going to put him back on bed. Wanting the crowd to leave his room, he was about to stand up to kick Ino out and close the door but…
"Shit!"…it was too late. Naruto was already at the door with a very red face Hinata. He sat back down to cover up the stupid girl while she naively waved to the unexpected guests.
How did it really turn out like that?
A big … chaotic … mess.
Out in the hallway was the astonished couple, Naruto and Hinata with her face brightly red. A little further into the room was Ino shockingly looked in to the center of the room. Sasuke was on the ground protectively holding the girl who was not properly dressed against him, preventing a free show for his uninvited guests. Shikamaru? Oh, he was out in the living room sleeping off his exhaustion, not caring about the commotion down the hallway.
"Shit! What the helz is this Teme?!" Naruto's eyes were bulging out as he was pointing at Sasuke.
Along with, "Oh My gosh…. My eyes…" Ino was covering her eyes, wiping it with the back of her hand. "What have you done to the poor girl?"
Sasuke irritably sat there carefully covering the girl, closing up her robe. 'Hn.' When done, he pulled her up along with him. "Here. Dress her up" He lightly pushed her toward Ino.
"Hi Ino-chan!" Sakura brightly smiled at her.
"Sakura!" Ino grabbed Sakura's shoulders "What did you guys do? Battle?" Green eyes looked at her. "Oh you poor innocent thing." Ino hugged her tightly.
"Uh. I fell into the pool and got sick. Sasuke-kun had been taken care of me." She innocently answered partially hiding some details, but both of Sasuke and Sakura knew exactly what really happened.
[…]
"Sas..." Sakura muffled as Sasuke continued bruising her lips.
Wet...slow...kisses...
Sasuke held on to the girl's head. Tangled his fingers in her pink locks.
Lovely, soft, beautiful pink tresses. Cherry blossom.
The scent filled his sanity. Making it wild with thoughts of how he could make her feel more ... much much much more.
However, he couldn't. He mustn't. Shouldn't. Surely, she was pretending earlier. Or was she really unaware of what he had done to her. No. Of what she had caused him to do. She shattered his control. Everything he had built. His reputation of being a calm, cool, and composed person, shattered to piece. The perfect male image almost ruined by this Angel.
He mustn't go further ... but .. these lips. So soft.
More kisses. Gripping, pulling...moaning
Sakura, Sakura, Sakura...
Nothing she could do now, her mind was fogged, images from earlier flashing through her mind. Staying conscious was never so hard, so mind struggling. Her will was drifting away.
'This is wrong...'
'Is it?' Last time her mind was awake, she remembered quite well. There was no such forbi...
Bite.
She had lost her mind.
Her hands gripped the sheet hard, keeping her flushed body covered from Sasuke. It was good for him too, since he wouldn't know how much he can contain before he went fanatic again. A thick comforter can be so handy besides keeping you warm.
Their lips hardly parted for even a millisecond. Even when they lacked air, neither appeared wanting to end their heated indulging kiss.
[…]
Gasp!
Naruto was struggling for air. To him the only time when the two words 'Sasuke' and 'care' was in the same sentence was when 'doesn't' was in between it. Sasuke did not care! No. He never cared.
Sasuke, extremely annoyed, stomped his way out. He grabbed Naruto's collar in the process and dragged him out. At the same time, Sakura showed Ino 'her' room.
"What the helz were you doing back there?!" He growled at the blond man.
"Whoa Whoa … Calm down. I thought everyone might want dinner." He amusingly went along with Sasuke's pulling grip.
"Sa … Sasuke … P ... please don't be too harsh … " Hinata came to Naruto's rescue.
"Nah Hinata-chan. It's not like he's really doing any damage to my already damage mind." Shuddered, Naruto got out of Sasuke's hold and flopped himself next to the sleeping body of Shikamaru. "And here I am being nice bringing everyone sushi!"
"Hn." He slowly sat down on the opposite armchair. 'I'm not even going to care to explain.' Sigh. 'It's going to be another frustrating day tomorrow in office.' His hand kneaded the aching temples of his head.
"I even got your favorite sashimi Teme." He showed them the lavished sushi tray.
"Hn." Sasuke seemed be familiar of being tormented by Naruto ever since they were young. A special 'bond' between them just made the people around very confused. How in the world would two completely opposite, totally opposite, would be 'best friend'? Sasuke never really admitted he was a best friend to the blond idiot. He only referred to him as acquaintance.
"Ah finally, some real food." Shikamaru got up from his position and picked up a piece to put in his mouth.
Hinata, as predicted to be a well-prepared person, came over and set up the coffee table with cloth, paper plates, utensils and such for the boys to enjoy their meal.
"He…here you... go…I'll be helping I...Ino-Chan n..now." For a second heir a multimillionaire company, she never gave out an impression of one, unlike her brother.
The three men were enjoying their man-time, munching on sushi and TV, while the girls were doing their own girlie thing.
After a couple trips of moving the boxes and bags to Sakura's room, Hinata finished moving them all. The guys were immobilized from their position when watching screen. However, the yelling and noises coming out of the opened door room appeared to entertain them more than the TV.
[…]
"Wait Ino-chan…No….Not there…."
"Don't look. I can wear it by myself."
"Wah it's too tight…"
"Suck it in Sakura!" "Y…You ca..can do i...it!"
"This is see-through!"
"Oh, Saku … You're a natural? I thought you dyed it."
"What are these mark!?"
"Wah. Ino … don't!"
"Cute, this shirt is so cute! No? … It's a dress?!"
"Hinata, tackle her … hold her down!"
[…]
A little nerve-wrecking while later… Ino strutted out of the hallway with pride.
"Tah Dah …Gentlemen…May I present to you my best...yet. Little Miss Sakura!"
Ino and Hinata moved aside to show the guys the 'Angel'.
While Naruto and Shikamaru suddenly became wide awake with their mouth dropped and eyes budged. "Hn." Sasuke could care less. Until...
"Uchiha look over here!" Ino yelled over to the man whose eyes "purposely" glued to the TV screen.
Annoyed. 'What different can she…' He finally turned his head over. Thump. His chest seemed constricted for a moment. 'No wonder she is the top most wanted stylist.'
Sakura was standing in front of him, dressed in a pastel yellow dress that flowed nicely down her knees. The cute floral dress was adorning her body. Showing the appropriate place while making the mind wild to imagine what was underneath. Her lengthy hair was pulled into a messy side bun tied with a yellow ribbon. The color highlighted her pink hair.
If she was pretty before, she was gorgeous now. The childish figure morphed into an alluring feminine body. Sasuke's soul seemed to be captive by her eyes, shining innocent green eyes staring at him.
"Whoa!" Whistled, clapping his hands. Naruto's yelp woke Sasuke from his daze.
"Thank you…Thank you…" Ino bowed to her audience.
'Hn.' He gripped his knee.
Noticing a tense atmosphere coming from Sasuke, "Okaaay..." Shikamaru stretched. "Job's done. Let's go Ino." He stood up and pulled her arm along while turning around smirking at Sasuke. 'Heh.'
Glare...
"Aw. Time sure flies…Well, it was nice meeting you Sakura-chan." Wink. She straightened up and set her arms around Shikamaru. Hand was waving goodbye. "Oy. Uchiha. I'll send the bill soon!"
"Hn." He ignored that while Sakura smiled at the leaving guests. Hands waving at her newly made friends.
"Good night Ino-Chan." Hinata bowed as Naruto grumbled.
"Well since it's still early let's do something guys." Naruto suggested aloud.
"Hinata take your pet home." Sasuke was getting irritated.
Naruto's arm was grabbed. "Let's go Naruto-kun. I'm sure Sasuke and Sakura-chan need their rest for tomorrow. Don't you have a meeting?"
"Shit. I forgot all about that." He panicked.
"Naarrruuutoo Kun." Hinata disappointingly sighed. "Good Night Sakura-chan. Sasuke-kun. Sorry for disturbing you." She hastily bowed and rushed after her 'pet'.
Sakura returned her bowed with a smile. They were gone as fast as they came.
"Hee hee. They're such an odd couple. Right Sasuke-kun?" Sakura pranced back into the room.
"Hn. Yea" He finally felt relieved after locking up his door.
"Wah. You guys made such a mess." She nagged as she began cleaning up the coffee table. It was a funny scene seeing how a girl, fancily dressed, doing house chore.
'Hn.' Sasuke just took a seat at the counter and silently watched the girl as she put on an apron and swiftly move around his kitchen.
"Sasuke-kun, do you want anything?" She stopped her cleaning to ask him.
"Tea." "Okay. Give me a minute." She went to get the teapot. How she became so familiar with his kitchen is unknown to him. "Ay…You made such a mess on the stove." She nagged. "Here you go!" She returned to her cleaning.
[…]
"move your legs!" She swiftly swept the floor.
[…]
"Lift your tea cup please!" Dashingly cleaned the counter top.
'Hn. I can live with this.' Sasuke calmly sat back to enjoy his tea.
But with a slip then came a hard trip to the floor which resulted a loud thunk. Sasuke second guessed himself.
"Wah. It hurts!" Sakura had slip on the wet floor she just recently mopped.
'Never mind.'
o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"Ne. Naruto-kun."
"Hm?"
"How did Sakura-chan end up living with Sasuke? I've never heard anyone mentioned about him having a girlfriend or anyone that close."
"Ah. I'm not sure. When I first saw her, I thought it was joke someone pulled on him. I have no idea she's actually staying with him. I really didn't know a thing." Naruto scratched his head.
"But don't you think it's a good thing."
"Huh?"
"Didn't you notice something strange about him?"
"Ha. How can I not? Even the wicked Ino saw it." He remembered the event at Sasuke's entrance when they had a small chat. Ino was talking about how the Sasuke back there must have been a clone. The real Sasuke never 'care' even for a bit about the opposite sex. She even once thought that a long time ago he was 'gay'.
"Um. Ino-chan has very good eyes. But with Sakura-chan being at his side, I think he'll feel better. Happier. Well less grumpy."
"I hope so. Come-on, let's take you home. Being out here too long. The sea water won't be good for you."
Smile…
o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"Sakura."
"Yes?"
"Ino brought a lot didn't she?"
"Yea…hee. She did."
The two were now standing at Sakura room's doorway looking in at the after mess Ino made. She may be a very talented stylish, but her organizing skill was zero. Even Hinata couldn't keep up.
"Well. Let's start Sasuke-kun! I need to clear everything… or I'm going to sleep on the sofas again."
Papers, jeans, dresses, bags, boxes of girl's stuffs… were everywhere. She couldn't even get to the bed without stepping on something. Laying on it was not an easy task.
'Sigh. It's still only nine forty two.' He looked at the digital clock next to the bed.
The two silently started on clearing up the room.
'Hn. Why am I doing this?' He asked himself as he stacked the shoeboxes on the floor, then looking over to Sakura as she happily hanged the new outfits. 'Ah…'
"Sasuke-kun, can you put that up there for me please?"
"Sasuke-kun, look at this!" She showed him a cute lacey shirt or was it a dress?
"Sasuke-kun!" Holding out a pair of cute heels to him.
"Sasu…"
'It's going to be a looong night.'
[…]
'Hn?' He looked curiously at the pink striped bag. 'V.S. hm?'
Getting closer to the pile of pink bags, he opened one of the boxes inside.
"Kyah! Sasuke-kun, don't look in there!" She tackled him to the side, sitting on top of him. The box flung opened and whatever that was in it, landed straight on Sasuke's chest. Bull's eye.
Sasuke's face turned pale because it was a bra…pink…lacy…BRA.
"Ah!" Sakura squealed and quickly snatched the pretty little thing away from him.
Now that the distraction was gone, Sasuke's focused all his senses on something else…on him. Sakura was lying fully on top of the poor miserable man.
'Wah that was close…' she sat up still on top of him. It was obvious, it was not really his fault. It was just too tempting…who could resist?
Hands clutched tightly on his sides. "Sakura…" He murmured her name.
"Get off." 'Don't.' He used his arm to cover his eyes from the ceiling light since he couldn't bear to look at Sakura sitting there with her legs, wrapping his sides, dangerously close to… a very sensitive area.
"Sorry." She embarrassingly got off him. "Wh…Where are you going?" Sasuke quickly stood up to leave the room.
"hn. Shower." And he was out.
Tilted her head, "Huh?" 'Mental note to self. Sasuke-kun likes showering. Alot'

"Ah. Finally. All tidy up. This is so nice." Sakura stepped back to examine her prized closet, every girl's dream. 'Ino really did a good job. It's like her talent is shopping.'
"So tire. This entire works makes me hungry…" She stretched and made her way to the kitchen. "Quick snack is nice."

She smiled and walked in to his room to retrieve his comforter. After covering him up, Sakura laid down on the rest of the left over spot next to him and slowly allowed sleep to wash over her.
