AN: Merry late-ish Christmas guys! I was trying to post another chapter before my family comes to visit this week, but I also had a lot of stuff to catch up on and I didn't want to rush the story. I finally got a little downtime so, here is my next chapter of "The Mission Abroad" enjoy

This story contains mature content

I do NOT own Naruto, its characters, or any of the images displayed.

SAKURA'S POV

Following our very vague tour of the village Shikamaru informed us that the captains would be meeting with each other on the outskirts of the village, in order to have the most privacy, before sending an update via hawk back to Kakashi Sensei. I gave Sasuke a silent but knowing look and he nodded in return. We went our separate ways as I followed Shikamaru, Neji, and Shino to our designated meet up area. Today I was finally going to be bringing up my concerns with them in addition to what Sasuke and Naruto picked up on this morning. We finally stopped about 2 miles out of the village in a small clearing. We checked the area for any signs of anyone near or listening before we began. "Alright, I know this is a big drag and all, but let's get down to business." Shikamaru complained. I began first. "Alright so far team 7 has picked up on a few red flags since we've arrived here, including myself. Such as, why do they need our assistance if they are already able to build and maintain structures as they do? That Yuri also seems a little off... I can't quite put my finger on it, however, Sasuke-Kun and Naruto went out early this morning and Yuri made it a point to let them know without saying, that they basically shouldn't be out wandering around. Plus, all of the Samurai at the training grounds were very secretive and slightly hostile towards them. I mean Sasuke-Kun... maybe if they had heard about his past but I'm not so sure the same would go for Naruto. I just think it is a little fishy. I mean here we are supposed to be teaching them the basic fundamentals of becoming a shinobi. Maybe the least that they could do in return is express some camaraderie with us." I explained as I thought about the strange incident upon arrival and seeing our pristine housing.

"We too have picked up on that and had similar encounters with them. I have noticed some odd behavior from their captain or leader, Yuri." Neji added with a stern face. Shino gave a slight nod in agreement and Shikamaru stayed silent listening to it all. "Alright, so I will report your guys' findings back to Lord Kakashi and for now we'll still just hang back and observe. Inform your team to keep closed lips and stay guarded for the meantime. We still don't know if we are just reading the situation wrong, but we can't afford to play it too safe. Agreed?" Shikamaru finished looking at each of our faces. "Hai!" We all said in unison. Shikamaru recorded our meeting on a scroll before sealing it with a hand sign and then shrinking it small enough to fit in the summoned hawk's carry container on its ankle. He petted its head twice before tossing it to the air. "Find Lord Sixth!" He informed it as it took off into the sky. Without another word we all traveled back to the village. We had the rest and the next day off before our assignments began, so we separated way once entering the gates. I decided to stop by the grocery stalls to pick up some food for our meals. I approached a smaller stall selling produce. I sighed planning to see almost out of date food because how else could they grow fresh produce here in this weather? I was taken back when I saw the very crisp fresh selections that they had. I grabbed a few tomatoes remembering how Sasuke loved them. I was grabbing some spinach and onions when I felt a hand press to the small of my back. I smiled slightly, expecting to see Sasuke but was quite surprised to see Yuri instead.

I gave an uncomfortable noise before taking a step away out of his reach as I mumbled a greeting. "Sakura-Chan, it is a very pleasant surprise to see you here!" He exclaimed, placing his hand on the back of his neck, the same one I had all but just swatted away from me. "Yeah, Haha. I had to pick up some groceries for supper tonight. Can't have my teammates or myself going hungry." I awkwardly joked back shifting my gaze from his intense one. "We do have the finest selection here in our village!" He replied not taking the hint. Then I remembered the question I had been thinking about earlier. "How do you all maintain such fresh produce? I mean these are nearly equivalent to our peak harvest in summertime back home." I questioned gesturing down to the carrots I was now holding. "Ah, you see here in the Village Hidden in the White Mountains, it wasn't exactly working out with normal growing methods as you see if nearly winter year-round. So, we produce our crops through underground man-made greenhouses powered by fire instead of the sun's heat. The fire that stays burning in the town's square is actually the exit point for all the fire and heat. That way we are able to produce fresh crops year-round to our villagers. It's quite nice if you ask me. I am a big fan of fresh produce" Yuri explained, reaching over and trying to grab my basket from me. "No, it's fine, honestly I have it." I tried to say gripping the basket tighter. "Nonsense, it wouldn't be very polite of me to let one of our guests carry everything." He replied back giving me a weird smile. "Really, it's fine I am all done at this stall now..." I tried again. I finally nodded in agreement after a few moments of his hands not leaving the handle leaving me feeling extremely uncomfortable at this point.

I walked to the stall owner with Yuri holding my basket in tow since he annoyingly refused to let me carry it. I sighed, paying for my items and thanking the older woman. As I went to reach for the basket once more, he pulled them further away starting to talk again. This time in a bit more suggestive tone. I wrinkled my brow in confusion. "So, Sakura-Chan. I was wondering, I mean... I am an attractive man coveted by many and you are a..." He paused for a moment, his eyes glancing up and down my figure practically undressing me. He reached to grab my arm, locking his fingers firmly around it. I shifted my weight trying to more prominently express my lack of interest and trying to get out of his grip to no avail. Then my eyes caught an all-black figure across the way that had paused its motions, visually irate and shaking. The black figure was Sasuke. Oh god. No, no, no. This was not going to end well. "Breathtakingly beautiful woman, it would give me and you great pleasure if you were to accompany me to dinner at my-" Yuri was cut short by Sasuke appearing by us out of thin air and grabbing my basket from Yuri's hands and blocking the space in between him and I. This caused his grip on my arm to release instantly. I tensed waiting for what was to come next. "I think my girlfriend will pass on that very inappropriate invitation." Sasuke growled not moving an inch as he peered down at Yuri's shocked face. Yuri regained composure I imagined as he continued to talk as though he was meeting with an old buddy. "Oh, well in that case... my apologies Uchiha, I wasn't aware that Sakura-Chan was your... girlfriend. My mistake." Yuri said with an unconvincing tone that sounded as though it had a hint of a smirk laced within it. "Be sure to make a mental note of it or else this won't go over so well next time." Sasuke spit out before turning to face me, ushering me away from the area. I didn't dare look at his face, but I knew just from the atmosphere around him he was beyond pissed. I took a deep breath knowing I needed to calm him down fast or that it wouldn't be pretty for anyone who crossed his path in the following moments.

I hesitantly reached over attempting to grab the basket out of his hand, but it wouldn't budge. His head shot in my direction and my eyes locked with his. His visible eye was black as the night and full of hatred, rage, and disgust. They softened slightly at whatever they saw on my face, and his grip loosened on the handle allowing me to pull it away from his grasp. I switched it to my opposite hand and laced my now free hand in with his. He stiffened for a moment before relaxing ever so slightly into my touch and tightening his grip around my palm. Sure, his body had relaxed but not enough as his muscles still felt extremely rigid and tense. Our pace was quick, and the air was silent but thick with something unpleasant. We then moments later entered the front foyer of our housing and I thought about the other items I had still needed to pick up, however I didn't dare mention them nor did I plan on returning alone again. Not after that. We bounded up the stairs together, his grip never loosening on mine until we reached our door. Only then did he release it to dig out his key and unlock the door before gesturing momentarily with a shaking hand for me to enter. I followed without missing a beat taking my shoes off and hanging my clock before heading towards the kitchen to wash my purchased items. I expected Sasuke to follow me, but... he didn't. Instead, I heard him take off his shoes and heavy footsteps retreat to our room. I finished my task before checking the food we had and sighing at the lack of it. We would need to get more things if we planned on having a decent meal tonight. Upon passing the door I took notice of the shoe rack making a mental note. Naruto and Hinata must have been out because their shoes were missing, and it was strangely quiet. Hopefully they came back with something for us to eat, but that shot was 50/50 due to Naruto's lack of wanting to eat anything except for instant ramen. I said a silent prayer that Hinata would pull through for us. I glanced back down the hallway mentally preparing myself for this conversation that was sure to be anything but pleasant gauging from our lack of conversation and his body language on the way here.

I padded off quietly to the room and my hand hesitantly lingered on the doorknob before finally turning and opening it. I scanned the room, but Sasuke was nowhere to be seen. I felt the panic rise up in me until I heard the sink turn on in the bathroom. After waiting a few minutes and it still not turning off I walked to the door and listened a bit longer. Just the sink running. No sounds that indicated his presence at all. I might have thought so too if I couldn't feel his erratic chakra pattern flowing everywhere. I knocked twice and waited for a response. When there was none, I knocked again. Still nothing. I tried the handle and to my luck it was unlocked. I slowly opened the door to see Sasuke standing in front of the running sink with his head bowed down under the flowing faucet. The back of his neck was bright red. "Sasuke-Kun, what are you doing!?" I asked with clear confusion and concern thick in my voice. I didn't waste any time as I ran over and shut the water off. It was freezing cold. His head snapped up slinging water from his soaking hair everywhere and both eyes locked on mine. Red and Purple swirling wildly. I gasped, taking a step back before his eyes focused slightly and the swirling calmed a bit. "Sa-Sasuke-Kun... are you... do you..." I started but couldn't form the proper words as I felt them start to form only to get lost in my throat. His eyes never left mine. They were searching over every detail of my face as if he was trying to remember who I was and check for threats. I guess they eventually found none because he relaxed slightly again and I took a brave step towards him once more, grabbing a towel off the rack. I slowly leaned towards him, never breaking our eye contact and I wrapped the towel around him like a hood. He stiffened as my hot fingers brushed the icy skin of his neck.

I took my hand and brought it hesitantly to his forehead brushing his wet black hair out of his face, tucking it under the towel. His eyes finally registered my face and the cloudy rage subsided at my touch, causing him to lean into it. "Better?" I asked in a small voice. He didn't answer only ever so slightly nodding his head. I grabbed his hand and led him out of the bathroom to sit on the bed. I pushed his chest gently and he fell back to the bed without protest. I released his hand to dig through his drawer and pick out a fresh dry shirt for him. Walking back over to the bed I handed him the new shirt and he stared at it for a moment before shrugging out of his wet one discarding it across the room onto the hamper top with a wet plop. I noted the still rapid rise and fall of his chest. He pulled on the new shirt while removing the towel and discarding it as well. His eyes still wouldn't meet mine. "Sasuke-Kun... Are you... are you mad at me?" I finally managed to ask. That did it. His eyes shot back to mine, and I realized his sharingan had never deactivated. I gulped loudly as he reached up, grabbing my face roughly, but not rough enough to hurt me. I froze immediately, not daring to move. Sasuke's already wild eyes looked at me intensely before he finally opened his mouth to speak. "Why would I be mad at you?" He asked harshly. I tried averting my gaze from his, as I felt the waves of anger flow off of him more and more. His grip tightened, locking my face into place with his. "Sakura. You know that I don't like repeating myself." Sasuke said a little less harsh this time, his sweet breath fanning across my face and into my nostrils.

It made it hard to think clearly. "I... I'm not sure I just... I don't know. I honestly was just trying to pick stuff up for the weekend to eat and he came up to me. I denied all of his advances, but he wouldn't take the hint." I finally sputtered out after finding the words. His eyes grew icy once more before he replied. "More like he didn't want to take the hint." He snapped back, dropping his hand from my face. My face grew cold without his touch. I finally grew a bit braver as I placed my hand on his too tense shoulder and he turned his head away. I needed to push harder to assure him I was fine. I took a breath before pulling myself up onto his lap straddling his legs and moving his face up to meet my gaze this time. "Sasuke-Kun, look at me." I begged, wrapping my freehand around his neck, lacing my fingers through his thick wet hair. His eyes hesitantly peered up at me, already a little less wild at my touch. I leaned forward, closing the distance between his mouth and mine. I moved my lips against his still ones for a moment before he groaned, pulling away. "I can't-I can't get it out of my head, someone else touching you Sakura. I wanted to, no I WANT to go back and rip his hands off so as to see that he will never try to touch you again... I want too so badly. If you weren't right, there I would have right then and there. I have worked so hard these last couple years trying to be a better man, and I still would throw it all away in the blink of an eye for someone disrespecting someone I cherish." Sasuke said, speaking in a low strained voice, his eyes sliding shut I assume fighting off the urge to fulfill his previous statement.

"Sasuke-Kun, I know that. Everyone knows that you would defend the people you care about. No one ever questions that in the slightest. You don't have to be so tough. It's okay to feel anger or other negative emotions sometimes. Just as long as you don't let them consume you. You are right though. You HAVE worked your ass off to get to where you are today. Everyone who knows you, I mean truly knows you, knows what an amazing man you have become. They know and I know that you would put your life on the line for anyone in need without a second thought. Don't let one low life man steer you from the correct path that you have journeyed on for redemption for so many years. You're not the same Sasuke-Kun from before the war, or even from before as genin. You are a new man. A man anyone would be proud to call theirs. A man your friends, family, and CLAN are proud of. Don't ever let someone have control over you in that way. Because you are in my eyes, damn near perfect." I finished tears silently running down my cheeks. His eyes had opened mid-way through my statement to watch mine as I talked. Sasuke's hand had wound behind my back around my waist and his eyes were now burning but with different emotions behind them and one I had come to know so well. Love and devotion. He leaned his forehead forward, resting it on mine before whispering "Arigato Sakura." He leaned in, pressing his warm lips to mine and I kissed him back pouring all my love into his mouth.

The kiss grew more intense as his hand lowered to my backside gripping needily. My tongue entered his mouth, memorizing every cell of it. I felt his cock grow harder as I pressed my chest flush against him not wanting a single ounce of space between us pulling hard at his hair and making a groan escape his throat as I swallowed it down hungerly. I pressed my middle against him with an urgency that was met without hesitation as his hips pushed up towards mine and he bit my bottom lip. He pulled back for a moment to place sloppy kisses down my neck to my collar bone, sucking and nipping every so often. In between kisses he murmured his thanks again and again. "You're mine." He breathed before pulling my lips back to his. I nodded my head in agreement not breaking our lips contact and letting my soft moans fall from my lips. This triggered something in him because not even a moment later he was standing with me still in his grasp and walking to the door placing my back against the wall, hard. I didn't mind and I heard the slam of the door as he kicked it shut followed by his knee propping me up to lock it. I chuckled into his mouth thinking about our precautions we would have to take while having housemates. Shit housemates. I pulled back looking into his lust filled eyes. "What about Naruto and Hinata?" I questioned panting loudly. He shook his head once. "They went out for a bit and won't be back until later." Was all he needed to say before I pulled his mouth back to mine. He carried me over to the bed skillfully with his sole arm I might add and gently leaned me back still never breaking contact. I palmed his shirt signaling to take it off and he released his grip on me momentarily before pulling back to take his off being tugging on mine and I followed suit removing it and my bra. I felt the cool air rush over the skin of my nipples only to be replaced with the warm spine-tingling sensations known as Sasuke's mouth and hand as they worked distinguishably on them. I moaned loudly, feeling the pleasure course through my veins to every fiber of my body. His tongue licked and sucked on my nipple occasionally giving it a small pinch with his teeth while his hand worked on the other one copying his movements. Before long I felt my stomach pool with an intense heat only, he could put out as I bucked my hips up to his now rock-hard erection forcefully. His movements ceased for a fraction of a second as sounds rippled out of him only encouraging me further and I unwound my hands from his hair to reach down for my pants button. His hand released from my breast and caught my wrists both in his while yanking them up above my head. My eyes shot open in confusion. "I want to make you feel as good as you make me feel." Sasuke mumbled against my nipple. I nodded, not able to speak at the moment and watched as the red glow came back to life and a purple limb grew from his stump. I gulped remembering how this played out last time.

Sasuke's eyes closed as though they were savoring his favorite meal. My eyes squeeze shut as another ripple of pleasure washed over me. Sasuke's free hand brushed past my stomach, hooking on my pants button and surprisingly undoing them with ease. He slid my underwear and pants down as I lifted my hips up a bit, letting them come off all the way. His fingers wasted no time slipping between my folds to my center. I moaned into his neck and then my lips busied themself with the soft warm skin of his neck. Sasuke's fingers pushed into my two at a time and the sound of my wetness and our heavy panting was the only sound I could hear. His thumb came up to rub my clit and I couldn't contain myself. I wanted to feel him now, all of him. I pushed him off and pinned his back to the bed, breaking his clutch on me. He stared up at me with confusion. "I want you, Sasuke-Kun. I want to... No, I need to feel all of you now." I said moving his hair away from his face and feeling the heat trickling down to my stomach. Sasuke's eyes told me everything I needed to know in that moment that he felt the exact same. "Then what are you waiting for?" He taunted, raising an eyebrow. I eagerly pulled his pants down exposing him as his cock sprung out.

I pushed his back to the bed and straddled him, hovering his member just right with my entrance. "I love you, Sasuke Uchiha. You do know that right?" I said looking down at his face. A smirk appeared on his lips, and he nodded, not losing our eye contact. "Ah." was all he said before I dropped my hips feeling him expand my insides. His eyes closed immediately, and he groaned, feeling my center as it took all of him in. I started moving my hips up and down and his hands went to my ass to hold it firmly pressing himself deeper into my cavern. We thrusted into each other not missing a beat and I heard him mumble a few words that I couldn't quite make out. He flipped us over again, switching our positions without slipping out and pulled back his hips only to slam back into my making me wail his name. "Sa-Sasuke-Kun! Do-Don't stop please!" I begged as he hit my sweet spot, sending pleasure crashing into me. His lips found mine muffling my cries of ecstasy with his mouth. I felt my core start to shake quicken at each thrust he made, and I clenched around him coming to my peak. That didn't stop him, actually quite the opposite. He kept the same pace, never once slowing or changing pace. Sasuke drew my legs up, hooking them over his shoulders and I felt him venture deeper into me, hitting more foreign sweet spots.

I fell into a trance, mesmerized by him. I watched his face as his eyes were staring down at where we were joined. A thin layer of perspiration covered his chest and forehead, and his bottom lip stuck between his perfect teeth as his nostrils flared. Sasuke Uchiha had never looked more handsome or more perfect than he did to me. At this moment I thought as I watched his eyes finally close tight and his already tight grip on my thighs somehow got tighter and a familiar noise erupted from his throat. He has reached his peak now too. I felt his release as it shot through my center and dripped down my inner thighs. His warm juices filled me to the brim, and it felt heavenly. I couldn't picture a better feeling. It was like we were connected in every earthly way now and I never wanted this to end. I would never get enough of this feeling. His inside on me, him on me, him in general. I was pulled out of my thoughts by him pulling back and out of me instantly and my eyes shot to his once more expecting to see his carefree face I had just examined so meticulously. Except I didn't expect to see the look on his face or in his eyes. Sasuke's eyes were wide, face surprised and panic stricken. "Oh my... Sakura. I- I didn't mean to I just I-" Sasuke tried but his voice cut off as he couldn't form the words. Then it clicked. He got off inside of me. He spilled his Uchiha seed... In me. I wasn't on the pill, and we hadn't used a condom, ever. My eyes mirrored his then realization of our actions sinking in and I gasped at the reality of what we had just done.
