Chapter 3

Sasuke opened the door, kunai ready and almost gave the guy on the other side of the door a heart attack.

"I-I'm so sorry. I must have the wrong room." He whispered, blushing.

Sasuke stared at him with a 'no shit' look.

"Who is it Sasuke-kun?"

The man at the door looked startled to hear the sleepy feminine voice.

"No one important Sakura. Go back to sleep."

"I'm sorry! I didn't know you had company!"

"Well how could you unless you're a stalker? Now get the fuck out of here." Sasuke snarled.

Without waiting for a response, Sasuke rudely slammed the door in the man's face. He pulled the cover from around his waist and put it back on the bed, letting out a sigh as he crawled back under the covers.

"Sasuke-kun?"

"Hn?"

"What did that man want?"

"Nothing, he was going on a tryst and he got the wrong room."

"Oh, what an idiot."

"Hn."

They both closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke groaned as he woke up the next morning.

'It's too early; I don't want to get up.'

He snuggled deeper under the covers and tried to go back to sleep, but his eyes popped open when he heard Sakura moan.

'Shit! Does she HAVE to do that?'

"Too early." She mumbled.

"Sakura?"

She didn't say anything and Sasuke sweat dropped when he realized she had instantly fallen back asleep.

Sasuke's eyes widened when he felt her snuggle against him.

'Damn, how am I going to get back to sleep now

Sasuke tensed when he felt Sakura toss a leg over his. She snuggled closer to him, causing her leg to go in between his and rub up against his crotch.

'Shit, I have to wake her up!'

"Sakura."

She let out a sexy moan and rubbed up against him again.

"Sakura!"

Still no answer.

"SAKURA!"

She shot up awake and looked at him.

"What's wrong? Are we under attack?" Sakura asked, getting up to grab a kunai.

"No, we need to get up."

Sakura glared at him when she heard this.

"That's it?! You shouted my name just to wake me up?!" She fumed.

"I called your name the first time. If you weren't such a deep sleeper, you would have woken up."

"Why didn't you just shake me awake?"

A smirk appeared on his face.

"You were kind of cuddled up against me, with your leg in between mine, rubbing up against me and moaning every time I called your name."

Sakura's face heated up in mortification at this.

"Sorry." She whispered.

She started to get up out of bed but was yanked back by Sasuke. She gasped as he pinned her underneath him, and heat crept up onto her face when she felt his erection rubbing sensually against her thigh.

"You're the one who caused this. You don't think I'm going to let you get away with it, do you?"

Sakura shook her head.

Sasuke smirked and leaned down to kiss her. She moaned into the kiss and he slipped his tongue in her mouth.

"I'm going to teach you what happens when you mess with me." He whispered.

A shiver of anticipation went down Sakura's spine.

"We have time before we have to leave, let's make good use of it." He murmured against her cheek.

He licked the rim of her ear and proceeded to make very good use of the time they had left.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After they checked out of the inn, Sasuke and Sakura resumed their mission. They had been walking for a few hours and Sakura couldn't stand the silence any longer.

"Do you think we'll get there soon?"

"We'll be there in another couple of hours. We'll inform someone we've arrived and wait until late at night to kill the guy."

"Okay."

The two continued walking and finally arrived at the village. A young man ran up to them and looked at them with hope filled eyes.

"You must be the ninjas. Come with me, I'll keep you hidden until you complete your mission."

He walked away and Sakura looked at Sasuke. He glanced back at her and followed the man, beckoning her to follow.

They arrived at a small house and the man led him inside.

"Honey, the ninjas are here."

A young woman rushed into the room.

"Thank goodness you're here!"

Sakura smiled at the couple.

"My name is Haruno Sakura and this is Uchiha Sasuke."

"Forgive my rudeness, I'm Moji Tamaru and this is my wife Nakito."

"Who sent the request for the assassination?" Sasuke asked.

"Several villagers, including myself. It's dangerous for too many people to see you so we all agreed that you would stay here." Tamaru answered.

"We won't be here long. We plan to assassinate the man tonight." Sakura said.

"Where does he live?" Sasuke inquired.

"He lives in the huge white house at the north end of town. You can't miss it; it’s the biggest house there." Nakito told the Uchiha, and Sasuke nodded.

"Is there a room where Sakura and I can discuss the mission?"

"Of course, follow me." Nakito said.

The two followed her into a small den.

"Please make yourselves comfortable. Dinner should be ready soon." She exited with a smile, and Sasuke and Sakura sat down.

"We need to find out what room he sleeps in." Sasuke said.

"Should we find out before or after dinner?" Sakura asked.

"After. Once we find out what room he sleeps in, we'll come back here. We'll leave at midnight to kill him." The raven-haired male told her.

Sakura was about to nod her head but stopped.

"Sasuke-kun?"

"Hn?"
"Who's going to kill him?"

"I will. You stand outside the room and be the look out."

"Okay."

Several minutes later, Nakito walked in to inform them that dinner was ready.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After dinner, Sasuke and Sakura prepared to leave.

"Sakura, leave your forehead protector, shuriken holster, kunai pouch and Jounin jacket here. We don't want anyone to know that we're ninjas."

"What if we get attacked?"

"We're ninjas, we can handle it."

"Okay." Sakura agreed, and the two removed the necessary items and informed the couple that they were leaving.

"Lock your doors and windows until we get back. Don't open your door unless you know it's us." Sasuke told them.

"Right." Tamaru said.

Sasuke and Sakura left and headed to the man's house.

Fifteen minutes later they found the house. Sasuke and Sakura looked around and saw the place was deserted.

"Send chakra to your feet and find out which room is his. I'll be the look out." Sasuke said.

Sakura nodded and concentrated on sending chakra to her feet. She began climbing up the wall and looking into each window.

"Holy shit!" Sakura exclaimed.

"What?"

"He's got a hot tub!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Keep your mind on the mission Sakura."

"Sorry." She apologized, not sounding sorry at all. Instead, she sounded rather regretful.

"If you like hot tubs so much, I'll let you see mine. If you're a good girl, that is." Sasuke watched with interest as the back of her ears glowed red with embarrassment and as she almost lost her footing.

"Careful Sakura wouldn't want you getting hurt."

Sakura looked into the next window and found his room.

"Found it.” She told him, and Sasuke nodded, looking up towards where Sakura was and memorizing that the room was the middle window on the second floor.

Sakura got down and the two quickly left the area. They were just about to step off of the property when Sasuke heard footsteps behind him. He quickly pushed Sakura against the wall and whispered in her ear, "Play along."

He kissed her and ran his hands down her body. Sakura quickly got into it and tangled her hands into Sasuke's silky hair.

"What are you two doing here?"
