“I do apologize, but we are full. There’s really nowhere to put you,” the old bald man said, closing the door. Sasuke noted both Naruto’s and Sakura’s shoulders visibly drooping.
“I was so looking forward to sleeping in a bed tonight,” Sakura muttered.
“Me too…” Naruto groaned. “Guess it’s back to the woods to make camp.”
Sasuke said nothing; he immediately began walking away, down the dim street toward the darkness of the forest just beyond. He heard Sakura sigh loudly followed by the footsteps of his two teammates behind him. They were no more than a block away when they heard a woman shouting, “Ninja! Ninja!”
“Tch,” Sasuke clicked, irritated. Why not just advertise it to the entire village?
“Yeah?” Naruto asked, turning around. Sasuke muttered, “idiot,” under his breath, but Naruto paid no attention. “What do you want?”
“My husband…” the old woman wheezed, “an idiot… need help with some repairs… at the inn… we’ll give you a room…”
“Your husband just said you have no rooms,” Sasuke stated with annoyance.
“Not in the inn…” the old woman shook her head, “in the house. My daughters are away right now, and you can have their room and a small fee, what we could afford, in exchange for helping with repairs. My husband is not as young as he once was. Please.”
Sakura turned to her teammates, “What do you want to do?”
“We should get back to Konoha,” Sasuke said factually, figuring that would end the matter.
“Well, technically, we’re not due back for another three days, and it’s not like Shishou would turn down the money,” Sakura stated slyly, looking to Naruto to back her up.
“They need some help, and we get beds out of the deal,” the blond shrugged, “so I say yes.”
Sasuke’s dark eyes flicked from Naruto to Sakura. Sakura nodded, “I agree. We’ve been traveling for days. It’ll be nice to sleep in a bed for a night. And a little manual labor won’t be any worse than our early D-rank genin missions. It’s worth it.”
“Fine,” Sasuke shrugged.
“Alright, baa-chan, you’ve got yourself a deal!” Naruto said happily.
“Oh, thank you, so much!” she said in relief. “This way, it’s right over here…”
Rambling, she informed them of her name (Fusuki-san), and the various small repairs that needed to be done (fixing the stair railing, sanding down rough patches on the porch, painting the common room…). She led them a block past the inn to a modest house which looked oddly green in the dim evening lights, but Sakura was sure was most likely yellow in the sun. Sasuke tuned them out.
The three slipped off their shoes in the entryway and followed her down a short hallway to a tiny, narrow bedroom. “I apologize that there’s only the one room, but it’s a bunk bed and will sleep three comfortably. You dear,” she said, tapping Sakura’s shoulder.
“Sakura, please,” Sakura replied politely.
“You can take the top bunk, and you two boys-”
Naruto piped in, “Naruto, and he’s Sasuke.”
“-can take the bottom. That bottom bunk is a double bed, so you’ll have plenty of room. There’s a washroom right across the hall. I’ll make breakfast for all of you in the morning before you start your work.”
Naruto dropped his bag, sitting down on the edge of the bed. Sakura’s slid from her shoulder as well as she appraised the sleeping arrangements. Sasuke remained rigid and uncomfortable as Fusuki-san said once more, “Thank you so much. I can’t tell you how appreciated this is. We were beginning to worry… So I’ll wake you around nine then for breakfast. Thank you again, and have a good night!” She smiled warmly before walking out, closing the door behind her.
Sasuke looked at his teammates with utter contempt.
“Oh, come on, Sasuke-kun, it’s not like we haven’t had a lot worse,” Sakura reminded him. Naruto immediately began undressing, earning him a smack on the head. “You can at least wait until I leave the room, Naruto! Honestly, just because I’m a ninja doesn’t mean I’m not a lady.”
“I didn’t say you weren’t!” Naruto cried, affronted and clearly unsure of what he did wrong.
“Well, do you make a habit of just stripping in front of women then?”
Comprehension dawned on the blond and he turned pink. “Sorry, Sakura-chan.”
“Whatever, I’ll be back in a minute,” she said, grabbing her bag and leaving to go to the washroom.
“Idiot,” Sasuke muttered. Naruto began changing in a frenzy, not wanting to anger Sakura further upon her return. He pushed past Naruto and crawled onto the bed next to the wall.
“Aren’t you going to change?”
His reply was not so much a word as a low growl.
“It’s hot out,” Naruto offered. Sasuke shot him a glare over his shoulder.
Sakura knocked. Naruto, in nothing but his boxers, hopped into bed next to Sasuke. “It’s okay, Sakura-chan!”
She entered. Sasuke rolled over, his back to Naruto. He could hear Sakura climbing up the ladder to the upper bunk. “You’d better stop looking at my ass, Naruto, or you’re going to get a hell of a lot more than just an eyeful,” she growled menacingly. She flipped off the light. “Good night.”
“Goodnight Sakura-chan!”
“Hn.”
* * * * *
Forty-five minutes had passed from Sasuke’s guess. Sakura’s breathing sounded regular, indicating she was already asleep. Naruto was obviously asleep, and kicking violently at regular intervals. Sasuke resisted the urge to beat him senseless. By bringing attention to the issue in a more tactful manner, he’d be able to get the top bunk and not have to share his mattress with anyone. He turned onto his side and shoved Naruto hard off the bed.
“Ow!” Naruto cried indignantly.
“What happened?” Sakura asked from above them. Her voice was clear and lucid.
“That bastard just shoved me off the bed!”
“He’s kicking me.”
“It’s not my fault!”
“Keep your voices down!” Sakura hissed.
“I am not going to get any sleep with the idiot kicking me every two minutes,” Sasuke replied angrily.
“I can’t help it! My leg spasms sometimes!”
“God!” Sakura cried. Sasuke could hear the rustling of fabric followed by a loud bang. “Ow, damn it!” She hit her head. A second later, she was climbing down the ladder. “Naruto, you take the top.”
“What?” Naruto asked. “Why me?”
“I will,” Sasuke said, standing up.
“No, you won’t. If the problem is him kicking you, I certainly don’t want to have to suffer through it. This is the only way any of us is going to get any rest, so stop arguing and just do it,” Sakura demanded, her hands on her hips. Her posture reminded Sasuke of his mother, scolding him as a child. Yet, the short wisp of a nightdress she was wearing somehow ruined the effect. Sasuke shook the thought from his mind.
“Fine by me,” Naruto replied, childishly sticking out his tongue at Sasuke before heading up the ladder.
Sasuke clenched his teeth. He’d much rather have just dealt with Naruto’s kicking than have to worry about Sakura clinging to him all night.
Sakura’s eyes met Sasuke’s in the darkness. He waited for her to say something. She opened her mouth, then closed it just as suddenly.
Sasuke stood rooted to the spot, still sulking at the turn of events. This is not how it was supposed to go.
Sakura finally just brushed past him, her bare arm brushing against him. “What are you doing?” Sasuke asked.
“Lying down. I’ll take the wall. That way you’ll have more room.” Sasuke watched as she promptly curled up into a ball facing the wall, her back to him. He sighed before slowly getting back into the bed, as close to the edge of the mattress as he could get, lying flat on his back, staring angrily at the bunk above him.
Long minutes passed. Sasuke noted the uncomfortably warm temperature. Sakura had the sheet pulled up to her chest and looked very much at ease, from what Sasuke could gather at a brief glance. Even after kicking the sheet off of himself, he felt as though the temperature was rising. Sweat was starting to bead on his forehead. He shifted, trying to get comfortable.
Of the three, he was the only one still fully clothed. Sakura had slipped into her ‘barely there’ nightdress and Naruto to his boxers, although he really couldn’t fault either of them. It really was stifling. Why didn’t I change? He cast another glance at Sakura’s back. Removing my shirt is asking for way too much trouble. He shifted again.
Sakura let out a loud sigh. “Honestly, Sasuke-kun, if you’re that overheated, then just change and get comfortable.” Sasuke froze, wondering how she knew exactly what he was thinking about. She rolled onto her back and turned her face to him. He could make out her features in the dim light streaming through the window.
“Oh, please! Give me some credit,” she said with exasperation, “I’m not going to jump you! Besides, you’re going to get even more overheated if you don’t change, causing you to radiate heat which will make me uncomfortable, and so you know, I have no problem switching bunks with Naruto again, and then you’ll have to deal with him kicking you all night. So really, it’s your choice.”
Sasuke tched in his usual, annoyed fashion, but grudgingly sat up and pulled his shirt over his head, acutely aware of Sakura’s eyes on him. He glanced over to glare at her but found she was settled and stationary facing the wall. She wasn’t even watching me to begin with? He swung his legs over the edge of the bed, pulling off his shorts. Now in nothing but his own boxers, he laid back down on his back, much more comfortable than before.
“You seriously need to get over yourself,” Sakura muttered, her back still to him.
Sasuke eyes widened before narrowing in a scowl. “What do you mean by that?” he retorted, rolling on to his side to look at her.
She turned her head over her shoulder to face him. “Just what I said. You were willing to bake yourself just because you assume that I don’t have any self-control whatsoever, which is really insulting, by the way. That you assume I wouldn’t have any control obviously illustrates that you think you’re something amazing, in which case, yes, you need to get over yourself.” She turned away, clearly annoyed.
Sasuke simply stared at her, unable to believe what she just said. His jaw twitched. She actually said that to me, and then just turns away? Before he could think through his actions, his hand was pulling her shoulder, forcing her onto her back. “I do not need to ‘get over myself.’”
Sasuke’s eyes bore angrily into hers. The green fire he expected to see went out, as though snuffed. Her expression melted from irritation into something akin to sadness. He could feel his anger give a little. He opened his mouth to say something, although what he was unsure, but Sakura beat him to it.
She took a deep breath. “You know that I like you, Sasuke-kun. I always have, and I know you don’t feel the same way about me. That’s okay. Despite my feelings for you, you know how much I care about and respect you. You’re my teammate and my friend; I would never do anything to compromise that. You should know that. That you don’t…” her voice trailed off, “it hurts.” She gently wrenched out of his grip, turning to face the wall once more.
Sasuke stared at her back. It’s not true, his mind started racing, I’m confident, not conceited. And Sakura has always been so clingy, dogging my steps… Except that, he realized with a start, she hadn’t. Not for quite some time.
Maybe he hadn’t given her enough credit. He was just so used to keeping her at arms length, because she wore her heart so openly on her sleeve, that he never noticed the change in her, at least not until she pointed it out. For one who prided himself on his perceptiveness and ability to read people and situations, he failed miserably.
Don’t start second guessing yourself, he told himself. You’ve never been wrong. You know the measure of people. You… his conscience interrupted his self-righteous rant, haven’t once bothered to look at her any differently in any context outside of teammate in missions, and fangirl out. You’re an ass.
Sasuke was used to being able to evaluate both people and situations and make decisions based on instinct and fact. The fact that he could feel a cold, sick feeling in the pit of his stomach was evidence enough that he hadn’t been fair in regards to Sakura. Usually he could easily turn his conscience off, finding it useless and counterproductive, but in this moment, it plagued him, irritating him even further by making him feel ashamed for his behavior and weak for not being able to ignore it.
“Sakura,” he sighed, propping himself up on his elbow. She didn’t stir. Damn it, why can’t you at least look at me! “Sakura,” he repeated, reaching out and pulling on her shoulder. She turned her head, dropping her shoulder to look at him, though still keeping her back to him. She’s completely closed me off. “I’m…” he muttered, suddenly averting his eyes. This is harder than it should be. He forced himself to look at her. “Sorry.”
“Yeah,” she whispered in reply, turning her head away.
Sasuke felt his anger building again. Why does she keep turning away? What does she want? I apologized! And all I get for it is a ‘yeah’! He stared at the back of her head, willing her to turn around and face him again. She didn’t move.
He grabbed her shoulder, roughly pulling her onto her back once more. She looked up at him shocked. He glared at her. “What is it that you want?” he demanded, fighting to keep his voice down lest he wake up Naruto, just above them.
“Sasuke-kun, I…” Sakura shook her head, “I don’t know what you mean.”
His eyes narrowed. “What, Sakura, what is it that you want from me?”
“Nothing,” she whispered, her eyes still wide in surprise and confusion.
“I apologized,” he hissed.
“I acknowledged and accepted.”
“By saying, ‘yeah?’”
“What more do you want me to say?” she asked in that exasperated tone of hers that made Sasuke fume. “That everything is fine? Everything is okay? Alright then. Everything is peachy friggin keen! Happy now?”
Sakura made to turn away again, but Sasuke grabbed her, pinning her down by her shoulders, his body on top of hers. Her eyes flashed angrily, but Sasuke was too pissed to care. “Stop turning away from me!”
“What do you care?” she spat back.
“I…” Adrenaline coursed through him. Sakura had never spoken to him like this, acted this way before. Even now, with her body completely pinned underneath his, he saw only anger etched across her usually pretty features. With vivid clarity, sharingan he realized, he could see fire blazing in her bright green eyes. Her lips curved in an angry frown, parted as she breathed. Suddenly he was acutely aware of her chest rising, grazing his own every time she inhaled. Sakura stared up at him in utter fury.
Without thinking, Sasuke crushed his lips on Sakura’s, kissing her long and hard. Suddenly realizing what he was doing, he pulled away, staring at her in shock.
A sharp stinging sensation immediately followed a loud smack as Sakura’s hand made contact with his cheek. Sasuke looked at her in surprise.
“You’re a bastard,” she whispered.
Sasuke’s mind reeled as he tried to comprehend what had just happened. Before he could think of something to say or do to fix the situation, Sakura jerked underneath him, clearly trying to free herself, to get away from me, her leg brushing against-
Sasuke shuddered. He’d been so annoyed, so angry, he hadn’t even realized he’d gotten hard. Embarrassment filled him. He tentatively raised his eyes to meet Sakura’s, hoping she was ignorant of the whole thing. From her wide eyed expression, she wasn’t. “Sakura, I-”
He was stopped short as her fingertips cautiously assessed his erection through the silk of his boxers. He gasped at the sensation. Is she still mad at me? he thought, suddenly anxious. Is she going to hurt me? If she was still pissed at him, her hand was the last place he wanted his manhood.
His eyes met hers. “Sakura, please, I-”
Sasuke’s plea to release him was interrupted as she ran her fingertips lightly over him. He was aware of her eyes watching him curiously as she caressed and stroked him before giving the boxers a tug and setting him free.
He could feel her fingers encircle him before gently pulling on him. Sasuke’s arm gave out and he caught himself before falling onto her. His breathing quickened. Her eyes were still locked on his. He opened his mouth, about to tell her to stop when she stroked him again, and a third time, and a fourth.
Oh, god! He knew, without a doubt, that he had never been so aroused in his life. He’d taken care of business in the past, when he got too tense or worked up, but this was the first time someone other than himself had touched him.
He stared at Sakura as his arousal built. Finally, he couldn’t stop himself. He captured Sakura’s lips in his. He pried her lips open with his tongue, kissing her passionately, deeply. He could feel her fingers tangle in his hair while her other hand continued to pump him slowly, methodically.
He could feel his climax starting to build; he grabbed her wrist and stopped her. She looked up at him with confusion. He kissed her lips once more before kissing down her neck. Sakura mewled quietly. He slipped the straps of her nightdress from her shoulders, pulling the offending material down her torso, exposing her breasts to him. He noted Sakura’s embarrassment with amusement, taking one nipple into his mouth, kneading her other breast with his hand. He heard her sigh harshly, no doubt trying to keep her breathing steady.
He switched to her other breast, allowing his hand to travel down her body to her panties. He’d have to lift her up in order to get them off. The hell with it. He grabbed the fabric and ripped. He ran a finger up her damp slit before pushing in.
Sakura’s hand covered her mouth to keep from yelling out. Sasuke added a second finger, pumping in and out of her at a fast pace. He reached to Sakura’s neck, pulling her into a slight sitting position so he could kiss her while continuing to finger her.
Her moans vibrated on his lips. He could feel her shudder every time he pushed into her, encouraging him. He pulled his fingers out and circled her clit. Sakura melted into his arms.
Sasuke pushed her gently back down onto the mattress. He positioned himself at her entrance. Their eyes met; she nodded. He pushed in hard and fast, his lips capturing Sakura’s to keep her from crying out. He pulled out slowly, before pushing in again. Finally he broke the kiss to look at her, raising an eyebrow, silently asking if he’s okay. She nodded.
He continued his thrusts, building a rhythm, as he continued kissing Sakura, running his hands down her body, cupping and squeezing her small, supple breasts, kneading her ass. He slipped his hand between their bodies, rubbing her clit with his thumb. Sakura moaned, her body responding to the added stimulation. Her own hands wandered his body, her nails digging into his own ass, a pinch of his nipple, a squeeze of his pecs, her fingers entangled in his dark hair scratching his scalp deliciously.
“Sasu-ke-kun…” Sakura muttered between broken breaths.
Sasuke smirked. He didn’t mind her calling him that, not when it sounded like that.
A noise from the bunk above them caused them both to freeze. Sakura stared up at Sasuke with wide, horrified eyes. His gaze met hers briefly, he paused, listening.
Naruto had just shifted over on the mattress. A second later and his soft snores could be heard once again.
Sasuke turned his attention back to Sakura, thrusting in hard. Her cheeks were obviously flushed, even in the dim light, and her ragged breathing let him know she wouldn’t last much longer. He knew he definitely wouldn’t.
She reached up, pulling him to her, kissing him fiercely as her orgasm hit her. She pulled away, her eyes locked on Sasuke’s as she came, her lips parted and twisted in something akin to a grimace, but not quite. She’s beautiful, Sasuke realized. Then his own climax hit, washing all thought out of his head.
He fell on her as the last wave subsided, burying his face in her neck. He was vaguely aware of her fingers on his back, her hand once more in his hair. As he found his strength, he lifted himself up, pulling out of her.
He slumped on his side next to her. She turned to face him. One look in her eyes told him he just made a huge mistake. She was staring at him with love and adoration, and was sure she’d want him to profess his love to her now that they’d just slept together. You’ve done some stupid things, Uchiha, but this is by far the worst.
He wasn’t in love with her, and even with what they’d just done, he was not about to lie to her. He was about to say something when once again, she beat him to it.
“Are you over yourself yet?” she asked playfully, a wicked grin on her face. Sasuke could only stare. “Well then, let’s see you get over me.”
She turned away from him, facing the wall, leaving Sasuke to gape, dumbfounded and confused, behind her.
Did she… did she just… His mind tried to comprehend what the hell had just happened. Get over her? I’m not in love with her. What does she mean? For reasons he couldn’t fathom, the thought of Sakura being with someone else crept into his mind, doing all the things to that someone else that she had just done to him. No! She’s mine! His mind shouted. She’s... mine…
Sasuke realized with a start what had just happened. By saying that one simple thing, she manipulated him, him, Uchiha Sasuke, into wanting her for himself.
“I’m not going to be played,” he whispered futilely to an already sleeping Sakura. Yet the thought of her being with anyone other than him weighed heavily. He wrapped his arm around Sakura’s middle, pulling her closer to him.
As he drifted off to sleep, he swore he heard a giggle, but dismissed it as he entered blissful dreams.
