Chapter 23

"Oooh. Sasuke-kun. It won't stop bleeding."

"It's fine Sakura. Stop poking it. Get me a bandage." Walking in to the house, hand clutched his palm with a white handkerchief; Sasuke kept the blood from leaking.

The girl immediately dashed to the medicine cabin to get a big bandage and held it out to him as he washed his hand in the sink. Green eyes watched him earnestly, guilty from being responsible even though Sasuke showed no signed of pain from the gash.

"Hahaa. Look, so high." Sakura screamed out in delight as steps continued to backtrack. Emeralds looked up at the sky with Ryu by her side.

Her hands kept a strong hold on the kite. Its string tugged a strong force on her.

"Higher. Higher." The little boy wanted her to release the sting. Letting the kite soared higher to the sky.

Obsidians watched closely on the side.

"!"

"Wah." Too focused on looking upward, Sakura didn't notice the hole on the ground.

"Sakura."

By instant reaction, Sasuke darted to stop the girl's fall, making him the human shelter.

"Sasuke-nii. Sakura-nee. Are you two okay?" Cute little Ryu asked, standing beside them holding the string that Sakura dropped.

The pink blob slowly sat up from laying on Sasuke. "Thank you Sasuke-kun. I'm sorry."

"Hn." Grunting as he sat up.

Gasp. "Your hand!"

Seeing the red blood oozing from the big gash he got from catching her fall.

Sasuke looked at the wound indifferently.

"Wah. I need something to hold the blood. Oh…"

"Here please use this." Mrs. Masaki, who dashed to their spot from seeing the great fall, held up a white handkerchief for Sakura.

"Thank you." The girl carefully wrapped his hand.

"You should take him home and treat the wound. Or it'll get infected."

"Aw. But I want to play …"

"Ryu!"

"Yes. Gramma."

"Oh. We'll see each other more. Don't worry Ryu. Sasuke-kun and I only live a block from here."

Sasuke flinched. A bit annoyed at the little brat. But somehow, found a little liking in him. He can see a bit similarity. But to whom?

"Then, please take this kite as a gift. Cuz you're my first friends!"

"Heehee. Alright. We'll see you."

"Sakura" Sasuke grumpily whispered.

"Sasuke-kun." She happily responded, knowing well, he not liking the idea of having a little brat as play date.

"Hn." He gave up.

"Let's go home now."

"Ah."

Finally finished cleaning the wound, Sasuke turned to look at the girl who was in trance next to him. Her green eyes dulled from feeling remorse.

Touch.

"!" Sakura looked up, as a heavy hand placed on her head.

"Don't worry. It's just a little wound. It'll heal." His words were soft and gentle.

Her hands cupped his palm. Sakura brought it down next to her face. "I should really stop being clumsy. Keep on troubling you. Being a nuisance." Her eyes lowered. Voice softened. "And I'm supposed to be the guardian." Blaming herself, tiny fingers caressed his palm, sliding it across the bandage.

Kiss.

Her soft lips made a sweet contact with his covered wound and a light hue of red flushed across his cheek. "Remedy to all." She looked up at him with her brilliance green eyes, smiling her angelic grin. "Oh. Sasuke-kun. Your face is red. Are you sick?" Reaching up to touch his fore head.

Instinctively, he backed away. "I-I'm fine." Sasuke struggled to keep his solid posture. "It's just a bit humid today."

"Ah." Her hand recoiled. "Um. It's almost time for you to go now. I'll prepare your lunch while you're getting ready." Tucking a few pink tresses behind her ear, she turned around and looked to the floor.

Hug!

"Sasuke-kun?" His sudden hold surprised her in the gentlest way.

"You're never a nuisance to me. Don't ever think that way again." Whispering to her as his face dug deep into her neck. Hiding the annoying crimson color that wouldn't go away. Before Sakura responded, Sasuke already slipped away from her. Walking straight to his room leaving the girl dumbfounded.

[…]

"La. La. La." Humming happily, Sakura skidded up and down the large window, cleaning the glass. 'If only I have my wings. I can finish this in no time.'Then again, if she had her power, everything would be different. Would it? Brushing the thought aside, she was extremely happy. Getting to walk around the neighborhood with Sasuke, meeting Ryu and his grandparents, it was quite a fun encounter, and then...

"Sakura. Dress up and wait for me. I'll be home around five. Then we'll go out."

Thinking of his words made her giddy up all inside. 'Wah. I'm going a date with Sasuke-kun!'

But, she stopped in the middle on the room. The quiet stillness of the vast living space brought a sadden thought, 'Maybe. He's just doing that to reassure everyone that we're not fake boyfriend and girlfriend.' Melancholy crept up her mind, hinking about last night of their conversation. 'It's just an act.'

But.

She didn't mind, as long as she get to be by his side. She didn't mind.

She shouldn't mind.

o-o-o-o-o

"Dobe."

"Huh." The blonde looked up from his stance in the coffee room.

"…" Sasuke contemplated to himself. Should he or shouldn't he. Asking this Dobe was a bit dangerous. But Kakashi… definitely was no good.

Getting a bit annoyed, "What." Naruto picked up his ramen cup and chopsticks.

"…" Strutting closer, obsidians scanned for any meddling mouths. "Where do you usually take Hinata for dates?" He finally found his guts.

"Pffft!" Cough. "Wha…" Cough. "What was it...?" Choking on his meal, Naruto couldn't take it all in.

With Naruto's reaction, Sasuke began to second-guess himself for asking this freak. Getting irritated, "I said. Where do you usually take Hinata out?" Hand clutching his sides, he wanted to strangle this blonde so bad.

"Oooo. You want me to tell you so you can take Sak-Offpt!" Before he screamed out, Sasuke had already stuffed his loud mouth with a big wad of napkins.

"Keep it down. You dobe." Fisting, his knuckled crumbed white, readied to land blows.

Spiting out the paper, Naruto teasingly chuckled. "Ah. Teme. Ahaa. I can't believe this day would come."

"Just tell me." Crossing his arms, he stared at the ground, feeling pathetic from asking Naruto. But he never actually dated anyone. He had no clue. Before, the only places he knew to take women to would be the bars, and hotels. It was simple and quick, one night. With Sakura, it must be different. She would not be treated like the other women he used to associate. She was Sakura, his angel. She must be cherished and treasured.

"Ah." Tapping his chin, Naruto reflected deeply. "Let's see. We would go to the movie. Eating out. The aquarium. Hot spa. That's her favorite. Mini golfing. Bowling. Or just roaming around. There are a bunch of attractions in Konoha."

"Hn." Making a mental list in his head, the idea began to materialize in his mind, grasping the idea. In truth, the reason why he didn't like the idea of dating was because … It was… like Shikamaru usually said. Troublesome. But even that couple enjoyed their time dating outside the comfort of their bed.

"So. Know where you're taking the little miss?"

"…" He didn't answer.

"Teme. Don't think too much. I'm sure Sakura would be happy no matter where you take her. Just enjoy yourself. That's the whole point of dating. Take it from an experienced man like me. See how happy we are. And if you're thinking of asking Shika and or Kakashi. They'll probably show you a whole list of love hotels. Ahahaa." They would do something like that.

"Hn." Turning around, about to step out, but halting his pace. He mumbled,"Thanks-"

"ACHOOO!" The sound of a loud sneeze followed by a drop, someone fell, one tripped, and a bunch tumbled forward. From the side door, a horde of people was flat on the floor of the coffee room's entrance. Sasuke was beyond baffled when standing in front of a group of eavesdroppers.

Twitch. Twitch.

Dark auras blasted from the man. Horns grew from his head. His eyes gleamed flames. Mouth could breathe fire to burn off his annoying staff. In their fearing eyes, he turned in a devil, ready to chop off their head.

"Ahhaa. Sorry Uchiha-san. Uzumaki-san. We're just uh … hm. I have an order to attend to."

"I need to call my wife."

"Oh. My boyfriend is sick. I should call him too."

"So many paper works are waiting for me."

In a fleeting second, the area cleared. Luckily, for Sasuke, Tsunade was out for meeting and Kakashi was off with his father. Or he wouldn't survive for the rest of the day.

Sigh.

Naruto gave him a comforting pat on the back.

o-o-o-o-o

Yawn. "Wah. Finally done!" Looking at the clock, Sakura pouted to see that it was still early. 'Only three ish.'Time seemed to be flowing by slowly today for the girl.

Flutter. Flutter.

Bam!

Gasp!? "Messenger!" Sakura once again rushed to the tiny angel. Sliding the door open.

"Tell this kid to get tinted glass. I'm getting major head injuring from this." Standing up, he wobbled from the hard impact.

"Are you alright." She knelt on her knees.

Struggling and searching his bag, the tiny hand found a scroll-like invitation.

"Here you go Hun." Holding the invite up to the girl, "The annual celebration Party of the Three Divisions. Sakura you are officially invited as a guest as well as your little human friend."

"Wah. Really!?" Eyes gleamed holding the sacred object. The desired invitation of all Angels, being invited to such gathering mark the status of a true Angel. Apprentice Angels were mostly the helpers of the party. Even so, only the best were allowed to help. Sakura never once get the chance, but now. 'Yes!'

"Now child. Grow up. Stop drooling over it. Ahhaa." The tiny angel made fun of the girl, tapping her lightly on the head. "Well I have to leave now. I'll hope to see you then."

"!" She looked up as the Messenger spread his wings wide. And zoomed away. "Thank you!" She screamed after him.

'Wah. This is so … Awesome!'Hand unrolled the paper.

Dear Sakura H. and Sasuke U.

You are courteously invited to attend the annual celebration Party of the Three Divisions.

You will be notified of the time and location in the near future.

We hope to see you.

Carefully she placed the invitation in her drawer next to her necklace.

'My wings.' Fingertips traced the outline of the shape. 'I wonder…'

o-o-o-o-o

"Taki. Is everything settled?"

"Yes. Uchiha-san. We have everything in on time. The order is made and they will be shipped by next Wednesday. Mai-san will be out as a rep to check out the orders. We send out the proposals. Still waiting for reply from-"

"It's alright. I know." His eyes glanced at the clock. 'Four fifty three.'He was going to be late if he didn't leave soon to Sakura.

Sensing that his boss tried to end the day quick, Taki took the documents in his hands and ready to walk out. But, before he did so, a piece of paper was placed in front of Sasuke.

"?!" He looked up meeting Taki's eyes.

"Have a nice weekend Uchiha-san." He bowed.

"Hn. You too." Mumbling as he turned his attention back to the monitor paying no attention to the object. However, as soon as Taki left the room, his hand grabbed the paper to read its content. A full detail list on attraction locations of Konoha was in his hand. Sasuke gave a light smirk, almost but not a smile. Taki. If there was a chance, he should be recognized as the best secretary. Well. He would have to fight against the other ladies in the company.

Turning off the computer, he stood up with his jacket and the paper in his pocket. Sasuke calmly made his way out.

"Good bye Uchiha-san."

"Good night Uchiha-san."

"See you next week."

"Say hi to Sakura for us."

It was a different feeling. Lighter lifting spirit surrounded the office. Sasuke for the first time in years was the first one to depart. He used to stay behind. Keeping to himself in the office until everyone had clear off because he simply hate the parting session with a passion. Until now...

[…]

'Damn it.' Alright, another thing he hate about leaving on time. Rush hour.

Gripping the wheel tight, he let out a long sigh to calm himself down. It would be a quite while until this traffic loosen up. Hand searched around for his cell. 'Damn. I forgot to charge it.' Knocking his head on the wheel, Sakura, his life was in turmoil just because of this girl.

But in a good way.

o-o-o-o-o

Click.

Making his way inside the comfort of his home, obsidian glanced around, looking for the girl.

"Sakura?" His shoes placed on the rack.

No response, quietly stepping toward the sofa area, he knew well where to find her if she didn't response to his calling. This girl was too predictable. His eyes settled on the sleeping Angel, snoring lightly on the sofa.

Chuckle.

He sat down beside her. Seeing how peaceful she was, made him wanted to join her. Such an easy sleeper. Wearing a casual attire of a cute shirt and skirt with a sweater, Sakura comfortably snoozed away, snuggling in her warm sweater. Her hair still slightly damped from the shower she took not long ago. Calloused hand reach down to sooth her messy bang. Then he looked at his own attired. Neat uptight slack, it was too formal for an evening outing. Loosened his tie, he leaned down to give a girl a soft peck on the cheek before standing up. He covered her with his jacket, then walked off to the shower.

[…]

'Wah. What time is it?'

Blink. Blink.

'How long did I sleep?'

Green eyes opened up to meet the big red egg yolk of the sun, making its way down the mountains.

Blink. Blink.

'Huh?'

Without moving, a glance toward the clock told her six forty. 'He's still not home.' "?!" Wanting to get up from her spot, but a heavy obstruction held her down. Thinking it was just her nerve not fully awaked. Then she looked down. A blob of raven spike blocked her view. Sasuke, himself settled nicely next to her. His head was slightly on her side, half on her chest and hand tightly held her waist. He cuddled close to her.

'S-sasu-k-ke kun. And here I thought you're … oh. You didn't want to wake me up. How sweet of you …'

Sakura let out a gentle smile. Carefully placing her hand on his head, her finger ran through his locks. 'So soft. How do you get your hair like this?' Mischievously, she played with his hair.

A small nuzzle, the mannish body made a move.

"Ah!" Feeling a pair of lips nipping her covered breast, rough fingers sliding under her shirt, he tickled her waist. 'He's awake.'

Bite.

"Wah!" Push, she gave him a hard shove. "Sasuke-kun!"

"Hn." Fully getting up, Sasuke trapped the girl under him. "That's for dozing off."

"You should wake me up."

Leaning his head down to rest on her forehead, "How could I?" Then he whispered, "When you're asleep, I can do this...and that...sometimes...this..."

Blush. Her fingers tightly gripped his shoulder. With his words, with his closeness, it was too much. "S-stop." She squirmed as his fingers hovered above her skin. "Sasuke-kun. Stop. D-don't" She lightly pushed against his chest.

Chuckle, his head moved to settle between her neck and shoulder.

A lick and a soft suck made the girl melt "Uuhhuuu," A loud sigh released from her lips. Arching her chest, her fingers gripped his collar, pushing against his shoulder. Whining, "D-don't-t…"

Lick. Lick.

His tongue trailed lowered as much as the collar of her shirt could stretch. "Hn."

"Eeep." Green eyes shot opened. This man's imprudent hand groped her breast from under the thin layer. Index finger played with her hardened nub.

Smirking onto her skin, he leaned his hip deeper, spreading her thighs wider. Placing his waist at ease but keeping a safe gap. Lightly pushing, jerking against her core. Provoking the girl and he hoisted her skirt high to raise it up and reveal more and more of her porcelain tone to his touch.

"Sa-sa… ahh…" Body flushed, Sakura overwhelmed with fleeting arousal. Disturbed by the throbbing feeling between her legs, she frenzied. Wanting to get out of his devilish grasp, Sakura pushed harder against his shoulders, squirmed under him. But all those acts only made the man further turned on.

"More." He grumbled against her cheek. Moving his lips lightly across her face and he kissed her eyelids then nibbled her ear lobe.

"Huu?" His simple request confused her.

Straightened up his arm with the other still settled on her globe, his face came up to look down at the girl. Gazing into her eyes with his lust covered orbs.

"I like it when you struggle like this."

Her thrashing stopped.

BLUSH.

Her hands came down to cover her face. Mumbling into her palms, "Op…easin..me…"

"Hn?" He was amused. This girl.

Sitting up, his hands peeled off her palms. Smirking at the way the girl turned her blushing face away.

"What is it again?" He leaned down resting his head on hers once more.

"S-stop teasing me." Her breathe was hot, fogging the air.

Chuckle. It was good enough. "Hn." He sat up. Rustling his hair back in its place, he released the girl. His hand grabbed onto her thigh to move her legs from his side. Settling the pair of lean limbs on his lap, his eyes caught a slight glimpse of the pink panty. Troubled mind ignored it. Sasuke leaned back to the sofa, turning his head to look at the sun. Attempting to calm his own reckless boiling blood. Unaware that there was a pair of green eyes glued to him.

Sakura was in trance. Her body immobilized, now notice the way he dressed. Casual, and easy, it fitted for his age, a simple design tee shirt and jeans, not the usual formal tie and slack. He looked … Blush.With the rouge horizon in the background, he looked more of an Angel than she was with his distinct features and remarkable appearance. Getting up, her hand shakily move her fixed her attired still lingering from his touch. Hand smoothed out the wrinkle of her shirt and combed the knots from her hair. Meeting his eyes made Sakura jumped a little in her seat.

"Hn." He held out his hand to her. "Ready to go?"

She remembered their little arrangement and was happy at his announcement. "Hmp!" She nodded her head while grabbing his hand tightly.

o-o-o-o-o

"TenTen."

"Neji."

"Put it down."

"No."

"You're scaring our host."

"…"

Brown eyes glanced her surroundings.

"Fine." She put her gun back inside her jacket. Who knew where she put it. Returning her stance behind the Hyuuga's heir, keen eyes continuously kept a secure perimeter.

"So." Neji, putting his hand in his pocket, smirking, he continued, "Where were we?"

[…]

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

"You shouldn't always act on impulse like that."

"My job is to keep you safe."

"I was in no harm."

"Sure. If I wasn't with you, they probably skinned you already."

"Hmp."

"What are you thinking coming here all by yourself? If I didn't follow you…"

"TenTen."

"Hm?"

"Shut it."

Halting her pace, she angrily glared at the man in front of her, seeing him walking ahead and out, through the sliding doors. She wanted to pull the trigger so much and aimed it straight at his head.

Sigh. Calm, she followed his steps out of the grand hotel. "Oi. Take me home. I didn't drive here."

Neji gave the woman a glare but never the less slowed his step.

"You should be glad I didn't take the green spandex with me. Or he'll stir the whole underground force to back you." She caught up with him and walked along.

"I said I don't need any help."

Flipping the blond lace of her wig, she snorted. "Arrogant jerk."

Twitch. He wanted to give this woman a piece of his mind. So annoying. He should just fire her, if it wasn't because she does a pretty fine job at everything given. The two walked side by side along with the moving crowd. Silent tension, they gave off deadly auras. Making the people around them scurried aside, allowing the two a clearing path.

-"Ahhaa. Sasuke-kun. Over here!"-

Ears perked the direction of the familiar name and voice. Thinking it was only a coincident.

- "Sakura."-

'Nope. It's them.'

Brown and Gray eyes found the couple down the corner from them. Neji cringe his face, almost not recognizing the Young Uchiha. He was not in his usual guise.

"Ah. How cute." Tenten really need to keep it to herself. Raising her body, she tiptoed to see more of the couple hand in hand behind the crowd. They were looking at the gift stall on the street.

Silently following the couple with his eyes, Neji turned around. "Eh?" Tenten felt confuse. "We're not going to your car?"

"No. Find your own ride home. I'm going for a drink." He kept on walking.

"Hey!" She dashingly turned around. "I'm coming too."

"Whatever."

o-o-o-o-o

Loud giggling sounds of the high school students filled the air. Happy atmosphere, the café was brilliant with light and decoration. The waiters and waitresses were serving on roller skates. Wearing cute head ornaments, they zoomed by with a gleeful grin.

"Wah. This place is so cute." Sakura happily looked around. Her eyes gleamed. Hands were holding the heart shape menu.

"…" Sasuke grumbled. 'Shouldn't have taken her by this street.'Hiding his head behind the menu, which filled with all kind of sweets and desserts.

"Oh. I don't know what to order. They all look so tasty." Mouth watered.

Suddenly a waitress zoomed to their table. "Hello there. I'm Naomi. I'll be your waitress. How's your night? Ready to order?" The black hair waitress winked at the two, she was giggling slightly at the scene of the cute girl and her boyfriend's reaction. Amused the way he hid behind the menu. Unknowing of his appearance, she took out her pen and pad.

"Wah. I'm not sure. Do you have any recommendations?" She smiled at Naomi.

"Personally I love the Mango Tiramisu Cake. And the Coconut ice cream."

Sakura playfully gave Sasuke a slight kick under the table and making him jolted. "Sasuke-kun. What do think? Pick out something."

Putting down the menu, "Sakura." He warned the mischievous girl and returned her kick.

"Eep." Quickly closed her legs, her face cringed.

"So. Your order sir?" Naomi turned toward Sasuke and her eyes widened. In front of her was … 'So pretty. No. Handsome. OMG.'

"Hn." Looking at the menu again, "I'll take the … Sakura green tea mochi." Stretching the word 'sakura', Obsidian kept his eyes glue to the girl. "I just have to taste it." His voice was low, smirking. It made Sakura fidgeting in her seat.

"S-so. An order of Sakura green tea mochi and… Miss?" She couldn't take her eyes off of the man. No matter if he paid no attention to her.

"Ah. I'm so indecisive."

"Just get everything on the menu." Sasuke leaned back, saying it as if it was nothing.

"Eh!" Both Sakura and Naomi were in shocked. Pouting, "Sasuke-kun. I can't eat all of it. I'm still full from dinner."

"Hn. Then surprise her." Sasuke took the menu from the girl's hand as well as his and handed those to Naomi. Their eyes met for a moment. "Doesn't matter the price."

"Y-yes." Her hand shook as she held the menus, carefully skated away. Naomi shyly glanced back at the table before disappearing behind the curtain.

[…]

"OMG. Did you see that man? I know who he is. He's an Uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha." A girl with brown hair in ponytail squealed around in her skates.

"Naomi. Come here." They waved to the girl as she passed the order to the kitchen.

"Look. Is it him? Here." The girl showed her the magazine. In it was an article on the second Uchiha heir. Sasuke Uchiha. On the colorful pages was a picture of him and his arrogant pose.

Gripping the magazine, "Woa. It is him. I heard the girl called him Sasuke. OMG."

"Wow. He looks so young. But look how mature he is in the picture."

The whole group of waitresses piled at the entrance, stealing glances at the couple sitting at the table.

"Aw. She must be his girlfriend."

"Wow. Her hair is … well. Interesting."

"They look so cute."

"I would die to be in her spot."

Fantasizing, each girl was making up her own scenario with the man.

"Oi. Stop this immediately. You guys are marring our professional image. What's so good about that man?" The waiters of the café lined up. They walked over to sneak out the other curtain.

"Woa."

"Hot."

"Damn. What a waste."

"I love exotic girls."

As the clueless couple enjoyed their peaceful time, the loving the scenery of the city from the glass window, an inner battle was going on behind the curtain. Waiters vs waitresses.

"When is our order coming?" Sakura wondered.

"Hn. Mine is already here."

"Wai?"

o-o-o

"Hn… Okay… I'll take a look…Shut it Dobe." Disconnecting the line, Sasuke placed his partially charged phone in his pocket.

"Is something wrong Sasuke-kun?" Wrapping her arms tight around his, Sakura looked up as she walked in pace with him.

Glancing around, figuring out the direction. They had been walking around a lot tonight to places, even he, had not been to.

"I need to get something from my office. Let's go there before we head home."

"Ah." She scurried along side with him across the intersection. Toward the garage, they parked the car.

[…]

Ding. The elevator's bell chimed as their steps echoed through the empty office. Without turning on the main light, Sasuke led the girl behind him straight to his office. Bright luminescent light brilliantly shined the room. Sasuke let go of her hand to walk to his desk and turn on the computer.

"I have to download a document to print it and other thing. It will take a while." He announced it as he entered the password to his login.

"It's alright." Calmly sitting on the sofa, Sakura patiently waited as Sasuke focused his attention to the screen. She proceeded to remove her sweater on the seat. The room's silence was filled with the sound from the keystrokes. Getting a bit bored. Sakura walked over to Sasuke's desk toward his closed curtain.

"How can I uncover this?" Asking as green orbs glance around.

Typing the last few keys, Sasuke straightened his back. "There's a controller over that pole."

"Ah." She walked lightly to where he directed. "Found it." Pressing on the opened button, her eyes widen as the scenic view of Konoha revealed to her. 'Beautiful.'

"Thirty so minutes. We'll have to wait here a bit longer than I expected." Standing up from his seat, Sasuke looked over to where his Angel was located.

Ba-thump. 'She …' His eyes was locked, trapped. For who knows how many times whenever he looked her way. Pressing her body against the glass, palms flat on the surface, Sakura's concentration was fully spotlighted the city before her. It looked so lively as if screaming to her. Exploding its energy her way, luring her, because tonight was … remarkable.

Her pink hair was braided in to two sections, fallen softly on her sides. Emerald eyes gleamed with reflection from the city light. Soundlessly strutting over, he walked up behind the distracted girl and pressed his body to her, letting her sensed his presence.

"It's so lively. Look Sasuke-kun. I can see the main street we were at." She pointed to the specific street with a certain café that he swore never to return.

"Hn." He grunted in reply.

"Uwah…" Sakura uncontrollably let out a loud yawn and a yelp. Feeling embarrassed by her discourtesy.

"Sleepy?" Sasuke tenderly asked the girl as he soothingly massaged her back with a soft up and down motion.

Denying, she shook her head. "Nah. I'm just a littleworn out. We walked so much tonight. There's no way I'm sleepy…wahh!." Another yawn helplessly escaped. Pout. Her eyes were blurry from the expanding tear gland.

"Ah. Well I know a way to keep you awake."

Her body jumped as he stooped down to lift her up in his arms. Gracefully walking over the sofa area, he sat down with the girl nuzzled nicely in his lap. Supporting her back with his hand, he leaned in to give the girl a chaste kiss.

"Mmh." She softly mewed in to his lips. Feminine hands came up to cup his jaw. Fingers felt the roughness of his skin.

Kiss.

His tongue was sliding, brushing against her plump lips, asking, demanding for entrance.

Slurp.

Wet. Sloppy kiss, a mess these two were making. Hot steam hovered from them. Sakura was shaking by the intensity of the kiss. It was… irrepressible, wild with no way to turn back. Frenzied hands checked out the territory of their partner. Groping. Feeling. Touching. Nothing could be call chaste touch anymore.

No.

Tainted touch with the most innocent of passions. Leaving a hot trail of lust as their fingers moved smoothly across the exposed skin.

His was behind her back, the other lifting her chin.

Hers was under his shirt, while one grabbing his shoulder.

They were glued, attached. Not even a slightest gap in between.

"Ooh…" Her lips parted to let out a sweet sound, shivering as his lips glide down her throat. Tongue licked the dip of her neck. A visible sopping wet trail led to her ear. Then his lips returned to its righteous place, her soft rosy lips.

"Sakura." His voice crept through her eardrum.

"Hm" Lips parted to let his tongue find hers.

Sliding in a tangible dance, their kiss was intimating. Needy but sweet because he was gentle and she was shy. Parting the heavy kiss, allowing the girl air, he leaned in to her with his hands roamed under her shirt.

"Do you know how cute you are today? I wanted to undress you the moment I saw you sleeping on the sofa. So careless." Sakura was staggered by his words. "I don't know how long I can control myself much longer." His hand moved up to raise her shirt. Thumbs caught on the lace of the bra. In a fleet of moment, both of her shirt and bra were removed, unhooked.

With the barrier gone, he leaned forward to steal another greedy kiss from the bewildered girl and push her back onto the sofa to trap her within his limps.

"Wai-it." Protesting against his lips as she felt his hand groped her bare breast, flickered her erected nipple.

Groaning, he deepened the kiss, sucking on her tongue. Bruising her lips, only want to release when he was satisfied. "How long are you intending to make me wait, Sakura..." Suddenly grabbing her hand, he placed it on his crotch.

"EEP!" Her whole body jumped at the feel of his bulkiness.

"I've been struggling around with this the whole night. If you haven't noticed."

Blush.

Frozen as he led her fingers under the band of his pant, leaving it there, his hand unbuckled, unbuttoned and zipped down his jeans. "Last night wasn't entirely finished."

"Wah. Sa-sasuke-kun. P-pleas-se. D…" Her face was red. Opened her mouth to let out an objection yelped. But she got trapped again by his lips. "Someone might …" Uneasy from not being in a secure place, unlike the private of their home.

Too caught up in the passionate kiss, Sakura had no clue when or how her skirt was removed and now currently laying on the floor. All crumbled up. Feeling the cold air of his office rushed up her covered core. Chilled spine, she curved her chest upward, abruptly ending their kiss. Teasing nipples flaunted in front of his face. Her hand gripped the band of his boxer. The other was clawing his shoulder.

"Hn." A low grunt emitted. He latched his mouth over her right. All was in a hasty motion, not giving a slight sign of releasing to lick, to suck until he satiated. Sakura crazed. Mouth wide opened to let out a soundless scream. Both her hands came up to cover her eye from the blinding light of the ceiling. This went on for who knew how long. Sakura was just lost in overwhelming pleasure. Sasuke was drowned by her moans screaming out his name. She was quite a noisemaker when completely lost. Releasing the both bruised, throbbing tips. Sasuke leaned up to face the girl. "Sakura. Look at me," he huskily commanded.

Green eyes hassled. Attempting to focus on his dark orbs, chest heaved a heavy breath to find her conscious again. Yanking her hand from her face, Sasuke led it back to his groin region. Feeling her slight struggled by the touch of his member, throbbing hard under the layer of fabric.

"Sa…kura..." He groaned out in frustration, shaken a bit by her touch. 'Damn.'

Tightly closed her eyes, holding her breath, Sakura was half scared … half-inquisitive. Struggling but allowed his hand to lead hers under the band of his boxer. Her fingers jerked a little feeling the moistened tip. Her palm tickled by the bushy feeling of his …

His upper body gave out. Dropping his head next to the girl and spread his knees. His mouth parted, heavily breathing. The hot breath fanned her skin with his blistered temperature. Pushing her palm, making it covered his throbbing member.

"Sa-sasuke-kun!" Her lung constricted at the touch of his dampen, hard member in her palm. She turned her hand around to grab tight on to his hand.

"Hrn…" He painfully grunted. Luckily, it was not the prize she gripped.

"?" She pulled her hand as well as his out. Eyes widened to see she had seized his injured palm. "Ooh. It's bleeding again." Abruptly sitting up, pushing the man to sitting position. Sasuke was a bit shocked by her unknowing strength.

"Hn." He examined his hand in hers. "I guess I over worked it so the wound didn't close up."

Now sitting on the sofa, legs over the side, his jeans unzipped with a [partially] naked girl in his lap. Do you think Sasuke would care much about his wound? Even if it was getting deeper or worst, he didn't seem to be bothered much.

"Forget it. It'll stop soon." He took his hand away from hers.

Emerald shot opened seeing his hand as he brought it up to comb his hair. "Wah. But!" Apparently, this girl had another thought as she tried to grab his hand back. Her fingers lightly touched his bandage, feeling the sodden wound. Immediately, she grabbed his hand to her attention. Forgetting about her own little problem. "This won't do." She ignored his touch again. Sasuke just sighed helplessly. "Oh I'm so stupid. I brought along a couple extra bandages in the skirt's back pocket." Her face gleamed.

"Sakura. I don't need it. We have them here too."

"But look at it." She poked it. He winced. Growling as the girl removed the adhesive paper. Okay maybe he did need to get it check out. The thing was not pretty. "Sasuke-kun! Did you even change it?"

He glanced to the side. 'twice…maybe.'

Carefully looking at the wound, her face cringe seeing the little slit with ruby color liquid. Getting up from him, not caring about the state of her current nudeness, she leaned down to get the bandage from her pocket. She called out. "Give me your hand." Sasuke was dumbfounded, mindlessly obeyed. "Really, how can you not feel any pain?"

'She even brought alcohol smears.' Amused, obsidians silently watched. Not focusing his eyesight to her nude body like usual. But to her face. She was worried. What for? It was only a tiny wound. This feeling of intensive caring was still new to him. Sasuke calmly settled to experience it more.

"And here I thought, you already cleaned and cared for your wound. You treated mine so nicely and… hmp." Her nagging stopped to clean his wound thoroughly.

This was one ridiculous scene of an aroused man with a naked girl, in a secluded room. What they were doing? Not the usual thing that normally would happen. Nope. Not at all. They were purely classified as … idiots.

"There, done!" She cautiously wrapped his wound with a new clean bandage. Brilliance green met the awestruck obsidian.

"…"

Hug.

"!"

In a quick moment, he grabbed the girl's wrist suddenly and pulled her into his embrace. Sakura happily returned his hug by flinging her arms around his shoulders. The two stay in their warmth for a while. It was too comfortable.

Ding. The sound interrupted their peacefulness, indicated that the file had downloaded.

"Hn. It's done. I'm printing this to the lobby since the one here is off. Stay here while I go get it. Then we'll…go home." He gave her a suggestive smirk. The girl just recoiled to the side fearing what he had in mind. A gulp followed with shuddering chill, Sakura silently screamed in her head. He leaned down to her ear. "You should get dressed and …clean up." He handed her the nearby tissue box.

Push. "Stop-p." She blushed.

Sasuke tumbled a couple steps back then walked over to his desk. Giving a couple teasing glances as the girl re-dressed. "I'll be right back." And he was out of the room, leaving the mind frenzied girl with her heart almost jumping out.

[…]

Ding.

Sasuke calmly walked out of the elevator to his destination. Hasten his step to lessen the time. He waited no longer to return home with his Angel. There was so much to do and the night can only be so long. Almost a smile on his face, but in result only an overly conceited smirk was visible.

"Freeze!" His journey stopped by the night guards.

"…"

"Turn around! Hands up!"

He complied. Well this was different. Who were these two? Didn't they know who he was? Was today their first day? He turned, glaring at the men with his famous gaze.

Gasp! "Uchi-uchiha-sama!" Stuck lifeless, the men stood rigid. "We're so sorry. We didn't recognize you in … well … your current attires."

"Hn." He put his hand down in his pocket, turning back to resume his journey.

"Oh. Uchiha-san. Please stop. Don't go anywhere else. Stay close to us."

"Why?" He darkly questioned.

"We have an intruder." While one guard was explaining to him, the other kept a look out and the radio closed to his ear.

"Hn?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes. What kind of training were these guards under? Letting an intruder in.

"Yes. Uh huh. Hey. I got a notice. The intruder is seen around floor Fifty seven. We need to move."

"!" That was Sasuke's department office. Quickly he dash in to the elevator. 'Sakura.'

"?!" The two guards looked at him weirdly.

"What are you waiting for? Come."

"Y-yes sir."

Standing in the elevator with the two-armed guards, Sasuke was fidgeting. Hand tight in fists. He worried. Nothing should happen. He just left the room. The intruder probably wouldn't notice Sakura, as long as she stayed in his locked room. Wait. Did he lock it?

[…]

Yawn.

"What's taking him so long?" Sakura was playfully swinging around in Sasuke's big desk chair. Turning around, she faced toward the city again. Since it was getting late, most of the skyscraper's lights were off. But the night streets were still lively as ever.

Click…

At the sound, "Sasuke-kun!" She swung around to meet the supposed man.

"Sakura."

"Sasuke-kun and hello?" She was referring to the two guards standing behind him. The tension purely visible as Sasuke walked up to her. His face was stern. There was something about his movement.

Tilting her head, she got up from her seat. "Did you get the printed papers?"

"No. Let's leave now." Quickly turning off the computer and holding her shoulder, he about to lead them out.

She was confused. "Is something wrong?"

"There's an intruder. It's not safe. Let's go." He turned to her.

But.

Ka-klack. Sound of the gun safety-trigger pulled.

"!" Sasuke immediately turned around.

"Uchiha Sasuke. You brought us straight to where we want to be." The two guards took off their hats, plastering on their faces a smudgy smirk.

'Fuck,'He thought as he held the girl close to him.
