Sacred Flower

Okay, sorry that you guys had to wait so long but I had to get my work back in order before I did anything leisurely for myself (damn the person who made homework).

In case you’re wondering, Europe was AWESOME!! But enough of my crap, now it’s story time!! Enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura woke up that bright and early morning in Sasuke’s arms. ‘Whoa, how’d I get here?’ She looked behind her to see Sasuke still sleeping.

‘Wow…Sasuke must be a sound sleeper.’ She gently moved Sasuke’s arm away and sat up while she thought long and hard. All of the memories from the night before flooded her mind. A small blush crept to her face.

‘Sasuke and I…we made-’ Before she could finish her thought, there was a loud knock at the door. She took a look over her shoulder again to see if Sasuke would respond to the knock, but it came again. Sakura dressed quickly in one of Sasuke’s big, long shirts and cracked the door open just enough for whoever it was to see her face.

“G-good morning Sakura. I-I hope I didn’t wake you,” said a soft voice.

“Oh, you didn’t Hinata. I was just getting up when you knocked.” Sakura saw a flash of orange.

“Good morning Sakura!!” bellowed Naruto. Sakura cringed at his loud voice. ‘Sasuke must’ve woken up by now.’

“Naruto, a little quieter please,” asked Hinata in her soft, sweet tone.

“Well Sakura?” said Naruto, “aren’t you gonna let us in for tea or something?” Sakura was about to respond when Sasuke’s voice interrupted her.

“Hey Sakura, who is it?” Sasuke stumbled out of bed, still naked from last night, and swung the door open while holding Sakura in front of him.

“Oh, it’s just you. Hey Hinata.”

Naruto’s mouth was wide open, close to hitting the ground while Hinata blushed like mad and turned her head away. Sasuke held Sakura closer to him, hiding his manly glory.

“I, uhh… I see you’re both busy. We’ll come back next time!” rushed Hinata and ran off like a frightened puppy. Naruto was still standing with his jaw agape. Sasuke sighed at his team mate’s reaction.

“Good day loser,” and he slammed the door shut in Naruto’s face.

“Sasuke, that wasn’t very hospitable of you,” reprimanded Sakura. Sasuke didn’t reply back to her, he only held her closer to him and snuggled his head in the junction of her neck, taking in her scent. Sakura started to giggle.

“Sasuke, stop!” she said in between giggles, “that tickles.” Sasuke smirked while he continued to snuggle closer to her and he started to lift his shirt off of her slim figure. Sakura left the warmth of his arms.

“Sasuke, stop! It really tickles and I need to shower. Can we do this later?”

Sasuke searched his brain for a smart-ass answer. “Well, I need to shower too. Let’s shower together. We’ll be conserving water for some other poor soul to use.” Sakura sighed at her lover’s answer.

“Fine, we’ll shower together, but no funny stuff. I mean it.” Sakura began to walk towards the shower when she was suddenly carried by a white figure. Sasuke picked her up and carried her over his shoulder like a sack of rice.

“Sasuke Uchiha, you put me down NOW!” Sakura tried kicking and hitting his back but it was all for a wasted effort.

“Sasuke, I mean it! Put me-” Sakura stopped talking when she felt something cold on her ass. Sasuke plopped her down to sit on the cold toilet lid, which got her slightly aroused. Sasuke bent over to turn on the shower, giving her a nice view of his ass. Sakura blushed and looked away. While he was waiting for the water to warm up, he turned his attention to Sakura.

“Sakura, look at me.” Sakura tried really hard to look at his face, and only his face. ‘Okay,’ she thought, ‘look at his face. Lookathisface, lookathisface, lookathisface…’ She turned her head to look at him but stared at his manhood. Sasuke blushed a little but he didn’t feel uncomfortable.

“Sakura, let me help you out of that shirt,” said Sasuke. Sakura looked up to his face and realized she’d been staring at the wrong part of him. His hands were at the edge of that big shirt she was wearing and she slapped his hands away while looking away. Sasuke kneeled down in front of her and turned her head to meet his gaze.

“Sakura, you don’t need to be shy. I know your body and you know mine.” Sakura nodded and allowed him to pull his shirt up over her head.

The chilly air hit her skin and instantly her nipples stood up. Sasuke smirked and held Sakura’s wrist, leading her to the shower. Sakura stepped in, relishing the hot water hitting her body. Slowly, the bathroom started to fill up with steam. Sakura picked up the shampoo and squirted some into her hand. She applied it to her hair, creating a lather of white bubbles and pink locks. Sasuke incorporated his own hands into her hair, helping her wash it. Soon, Sakura rinsed it all out and applied the conditioner. Sasuke also helped her smooth it out with his strong, calloused hands. After her hair was fully rinsed, Sakura picked up a bottle of strawberry body wash and squirted some in her hands. She lathered it up in her hands and just when she was going to apply it to her body, Sasuke turned her around, held her wrists and placed her hands on his chest.

“Sasuke, what are you doing?” she asked. Sasuke didn’t reply to her and made her hands move in a circular motion on his chest, washing himself with her hands. Sakura slowly got his hint and started washing him. Her hands crept across his broad shoulders, those strong biceps, his six-pack abs, even the area between his legs.

Sasuke savoured her touches and held onto that feeling a little longer than he should. By the time Sasuke realized what was happening, Sakura was ready to lather herself in that luscious strawberry body wash. Sasuke pulled the bottle away from her.

“Sasuke, what’s your problem!?” protested Sakura. Sasuke simply turned her around and whispered into her ear, “Just relax and feel the water hitting you.”

Sakura did as she was told, a little pissed that Sasuke wouldn’t let her wash herself. Quietly, Sasuke squirted some of that body wash into his hands and applied it to her body. Sakura tensed at something that felt a little cool but relaxed when she felt warm hands caress her body.

Sasuke slowly washed her back, working his way from the small of her back to the nape of her neck. Once he arrived at his destination, he slowly slid his hands down her arms and back up her sides and caressed those delectable breasts of hers. Sakura leaned back against him and her weight eventually made Sasuke sit on the cold edge of the bathtub so Sakura could lean into him.

Sasuke kept washing her luscious body by caressing her perfect breasts, running his fingers down her hips and thighs, gently washing her butt and rubbing her flat stomach. Sakura was unable to hold herself up at this point and sat right in Sasuke’s lap.

Sakura started to whimper and let out small pants and soft moans. All those noises went straight to his crotch. He felt himself harden with ever pant she made. Sasuke lifted her up off of him and slid her onto him. Sasuke hissed at the sensations. The combined pleasure of her surrounding his manhood and the warm water splashing onto him was a little too much for him to bear.

On Sakura’s part, she felt like she wouldn’t last long. That hot water searing her skin, Sasuke’s hands touching her and inside of her, it was too much. She felt like every thrust into her he made would send her over the edge. Sasuke’s hand fell off of her breast and landed right at the slit that hid her sensitive jewel.

His hand pressed the throbbing bud fiercely yet gently at the same time, driving her into a new frenzy. Sakura was so close to that elusive peak but her body refused to give into the waves of pleasure rippling throughout her small body. Sasuke tried to increase the rhythm so she would find her release.

He could feel Sakura’s inner walls tighten around him, giving him an intensified taste of her love for him. After a while, he realized that she wasn’t finding a solution to her problem, which made her feel frustrated.

“Come for me,” he whispered huskily, “come for me Sakura. Show me that you love me.” Sakura responded to his pleas by clamping down on his already-painful member and milked him with all she had. Sakura was literally blinded with pleasure, unable to hold herself up after her release.

After a few moments, her vision came back. The shower was still going, splashing all over their united bodies. Sakura realized where she was and got up from his lap. “Sasuke…we shouldn’t have done that.” She continued to savour the warmth hitting her body before she shut it off. Sakura reached out of the shower curtain, looking for a towel to dry herself off with but Sasuke grabbed her wrist and spinned her around to look into her eyes.

“Sakura, what’s wrong?” he asked. “Are you…are you afraid of getting pregnant? Is that it? We can see the Hokage to check if you really are.” Sakura had a stunned look on her face and the pain of knowing that she was barren pierced her heart.

“Sasuke…that’s not necessary.” Sasuke stepped out of the shower and handed her a towel after he wrapped one around himself.

“Sakura, let’s go. If you’re really that worried, we’ll go check to see.” Sasuke practically pulled her out of the bathroom and threw her into the bedroom to dress herself. After she came out, Sasuke was already dressed.

“Let’s go,” ordered Sasuke.

She slowly pulled on her shoes, hurting from her internal pain. She knew she wasn’t pregnant but she wasn’t brave enough to actually tell him that. They both jumped over the rooftops to reach the Hokage’s office. Sasuke knocked on the door lightly.

“Come in,” was heard through the door. Sasuke held the door open while Sakura headed inside.

Tsunade looked up and recognized who was at her door. “Ah, Sasuke, Sakura, what can I help you with today?” Sasuke tried his hardest not to blush when he replied but a small one appeared on his face anyway.

“Sakura needs a…” He cleared his throat. “She needs a…test for something.” Tsunade raised her eyebrow in suspicion.

“Oh? What test would it be for?” Sasuke turned his gaze away so he didn’t have to look at her when he replied.

“A…pregnancy test,” he responded softly.

Tsunade was shocked. The results of the tests showed that she was unable to bear children. That’s when the logical side of her told her the reason they’re asking for one. ‘She must not have told him yet.’

“Well, alright. Come in then. Sasuke, you can come pick her up in about an hour.” Sasuke nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him.

As soon as she was sure Sasuke was out of earshot, Tsunade began to berate Sakura who sat down in an armchair. “You still haven’t told him!? When are you going to tell him? Have you even told anybody about this? And why was he asking that you get a pregnancy test?” Sakura delayed in responding and it gave Tsunade the impression that the two had…

“Sex? You two had sex!?” Tsunade was now beyond stunned. Since when did Sasuke allow one of his fan girls to get close to him and do…that? That’s when Tsunade realized their closeness over the past few days. Sasuke was supposed to watch over her during her period of recovery. Maybe Sakura has grown back into herself again.

“Sakura…” she started, “you have to tell him at some point. Even if you two don’t have children, he has to know.” Sakura broke down.

“I know I have to tell him, I just can't,” she spat out in between sobs. “I don’t want to be reminded about this. I don’t want him to leave me because I can’t give him what he wants. I…can’t.” Tsunade placed her hand on Sakura’s shoulder to offer her some sympathy. She thought long and hard about the words that were going to come out of her mouth. Was she really going to allow Sakura to take this big risk?

“Sakura…all hope might not be lost. See, there’s a new drug we’ve created that repairs the damage to a female’s reproductive system.” Sakura’s eyes lit up and demanded the drug be administered to her.

“Give me, give me! I need to be able to conceive. I need to!” Tsunade shook her head.

“Sakura, we have a drug that can do this but we haven’t tested it yet. Who knows what side effects will happen. You could have mutant babies, you may lose any chance of conceiving and you might even die. Is this a risk you’ll be willing to take?”

Sakura bowed her head in defeat. ‘I could…die?’ Sakura lifted her head up and gave Tsunade her answer, complete with confidence.

“I will.” Tsunade nodded to her and reached behind her desk. She pulled out a small bottle with green pills inside.

“Take one every night. If anything feels wrong, notify me immediately.” Sakura nodded and took the bottle.

Five minutes before Sasuke was supposed to come and get her, Sakura concealed the bottle from sight and her red, puffy eyes faded to their originality. When Sasuke finally arrived, Tsunade explained that Sakura could stop taking the red and white pills. The two said their goodbyes and left the office.

“Sakura, would you like to stop somewhere and grab some lunch?” At the sound of food, Sakura’s stomach grumbled belligerently. Sakura blushed a little and replied, “Yes, that’d be nice Sasuke.” They both stopped at Ichiraku for lunch. They saw Naruto and Iruka already eating there. As usual, Iruka was sitting on the left of Naruto, barely finished one bowl while Naruto had slurped his way through 5.

“Hmm? Hey Shashuke-bashtard!” spat out Naruto. “Don’t talk with your mouth full idiot,” replied Sasuke. Iruka turned around to see who Naruto was yelling at.

“Oh! Hello Sasuke, Sakura. I heard about what happened…” he trailed off. Sakura giggled the way she would have before she graduated from the academy.

“No biggie Iruka-sensei. It’s all in the past now.” Iruka smiled at her horrible attempt to hide the truth. He knew something was going on but he didn’t want to pry.

“Come, sit. Eat with us.” Sasuke and Sakura slid into the closest stools, which were on the other side of Iruka, and Naruto glared at Sasuke while slurping his BBQ pork ramen.

“One beef ramen,” ordered Sasuke. “And one chicken ramen please,” chimed in Sakura. “You got it!” called Ayame, the Ichiraku girl as some called her.

While she was preparing their orders, Naruto continued to glare at Sasuke across Iruka and mentally blush at his predicament earlier in the day. “So Sasuke…done anything interesting lately?” asked Naruto, ‘Like you answering you door naked?’

“Hn,” replied Sasuke. Ayame placed the bowls down in front of Sasuke and Sakura. “Enjoy your meal!” Sakura delicately picked at her food while Sasuke dug right in. Now, he doesn’t stuff his face like Naruto does, but he eats as much as Naruto could with proper etiquette.

“So,” said Iruka, trying to start a conversation, “how have you two been doing these last few days?” Sakura gulped down her mouthful of ramen before answering him.

“Oh, it’s been great Iruka-sensei. Sasuke’s been taking care of me very-”

“You mean you’re both living together!?” interrupted Iruka. “Uhh…” Sakura blushed a mad crimson colour. Iruka looked to Naruto. ‘Poor boy… the love of his life stolen by his rival.’

Sasuke ate the rest of his ramen. “Sakura, are you ready to go?” Sakura snapped out of her blush and looked down at her cold bowl of ramen, which she barely ate.

“Yeah,” she finally replied, “I’m ready.” They both paid their bill and left. Naruto looked at Sakura’s bowl of ramen and found it still full, although it was cold. He slurped it all down and continued to eat his fill.

“Ahh…well, I’m full. Thanks for lunch Iruka-sensei!” and he ran off to… do whatever Naruto did.

“Good-bye Naruto!” waved Iruka. When Iruka turned back to the counter, he saw piles and piles of ramen bowls stacked up and Ayame standing in front of him with and outstretched hand. Iruka’s jaw nearly hit the ground.

‘Oh Naruto…I love you like my own son, but sometimes, I hate the fact that you seem to waste all of my pay check for lunch!’ Iruka sighed while handing the Ichiraku girl his pay check for the day.

“Thank you!” she chimed. Iruka got up and walked back to his apartment.

“Naruto…you’re going to make me go broke one day.”

Okay, okay, I’m sorry that this is awfully short. But I wanted to leave you guys one chapter before my professors bury me in work so I won’t be able to reach my computer. Please, R&R! You guys have no idea how much I love to hear from you and know what you think about this. Also, a couple nice words would perk up my day and make me work on my papers faster.
