Reviewer replies:
blue inferno:Thank you so much for your regular replies and support. It motivates me to write faster~! ^_^

ItachisWench: Thanks for the review! Sakura has indeed grown up a bit. But she still has that touch of childishness or innocence ya know? But she views the world very differently than she did back in the begining and I try to support that. Glad you think I do a good job! (I've started reading some of your stuff! I'm gonna make with the reviews soon I swear!)

Sarri-chan: It's always so nice to hear from you! You make me want to write as fast as I can and get to posting. About the screwing part... yeah, he'll get to that. But I can't promise I won't make ya wait and worry first. XD I'm glad you like my story and I don't mind at all. So long as ya know, I keep my credit. But I trust you won't steal it. I'm glad that you like it so much as well as that little chapter that I forgot to post. I'm still stupid for that. But yeah. Hope you like the new chapter! ^_^
p.s. I cried when I wrote the Kakshi chapter... I didn't want him to die, but my storyline ran away with itself in my head and I'm no loner the creator of this story, I simply put it on paper... it writes itself, it just uses my head as a home...

Dark Phoenix: NO NO NO!!!!!!! SasuSaku ALL THE WAY BABY!!!! It's NOT SasuNaru I swear, I've had that problem before... I hate it. But anyways, no, I think the boys were really close and kinda cheesy at times before Sasuke-kun left and now Naruto still kinda wants that and Sasuke allows it, maybe out of guilt. But there will be no yaoi pairings in this story so don't worry.

Yeah, she could have healed she just didn't because it wasn't that big to her, that gets pointed out in this chapter. She kinda just blew it off because it was at the most just bloody and bruised which is no big deal. She had more important things to worry about. (like Sasuke-kun! XD)

About Sasuke, I think he's actually very warm hearted and one of the most emotionaly driven characters on the show, and the only time you'll hear me point out otherwise is when things are written from his point of view because I think he has self esteem issues. I think mostly I like to drag out how much he hates himself contrasted to how amazing Sakura thinks he is but we'll get deeper into that later. But yeah, I think he's wonderful and kind and caring, but I also think he doesn't want to think of himself in that way and he blames himself for everything that goes wrong in the world. So I agree with you about how caring he is. He however does not. (Sakura will have to show him ^_^) *doesn't think he's cold hearted at all*

Naruto tries to hard.

Wait... what?

Glad ya like the fic, hope I cleared some things up for ya! Glad you always ask and are always honost! It's the point of reviews ya know? It's always cool to hear from you and I'm delighted you like my fic. Hope you enjoy the new chapter!! ^_^ *peace*

Her breath was ragged in his ear and he purred as she writhed on top of him. She bit and nipped her way from his earlobe down to his collar bone, flicking out her tounge here and there to taste him. He twisted underneath her, pressed against her, so that she could feel him hard against her thigh. He snorted with frustration at their remaining clothing which stuck to them uncomfortably because of the sweat and extreme heat. His room was usually like an ice box but at the moment it felt more like a furnace... and he liked it. His hands searched her body, pulling at her bra, wanting to be rid of it, scratching at her back and nearly drawing blood. He wanted her in the worst kind of way. She moaned in his ear, either from pain or pleasure, perhaps both, but it mattered not to him. Her arms clawed at his arms. He knew she wanted him too. The cherry blossom pink hair that fell over her closed eyes accented the flush of her face nicely. Her eyes were closed, but he couldn't take his off of her. He pulled her to him, down on top of him and pushed against her again. He bit down on her tender neck and she moaned his name. He liked the sound of it, the way the name 'Sasuke' sounded, rolling longingly off her tounge. His breath was just as ragged as hers now and he was tired of waiting. He sat up and pushed her forcefully onto the bed beneath him, mumbling something about how she belonged to him. He forced his mouth on hers, grinding against her again, and she took it. Her moan came more like a scream this time and he feared if she got much more vocal she'd wake the dobe. But what did Naruto matter now?

He didn't look for the latch or try to undo it. He knew he couldn't by the way his hands shook. He instead just pulled it over her head. The white fabric was damn near see-through now any way because of the sweat that adorned their bodies. He kissed and bit her neck, sucking and licking, and made his way to her shoulder where he bit down hard and she gasped. He kissed the bruised shoulder and made his way down her collar bone with his kisses until finally he reacher her bare breast. He bit harshly at the fatty skin above her nipple before running a tounge roughly over it and she damn near screamed. Oh how he loved the sound of her voice. She looked so helpless below him writhing, twisting, grinding... And the taste of her skin, wet with sweat and anticipation. He wasted no time kissing down her stomach, stopping here and there just to make her wait and biting and sucking along her hip bone. He grabbed the edge of each side of her panties and clawed them off of her as she kept twisting underneath him. He kissed longingly at her thigh, dangerously close to a certian area. Oh he wanted her. And the breath that refused to come to her lungs told him she wanted him too. She sighed when he pulled away from her, though it was only long enough to tug his boxers off. Then he was ontop of her again, breathing down her neck as he forced her legs apart, she squeaked his name in his ear, letting him know she couldn't wait anymore. He cupped one of her breast in his hand as he bit down on her neck again. He pushed himself against her again but did not enter her. She begged through gritted teeth, but it wasn't enough. Again he forced himself against her rather than inside of her. Her beg came almost as a cry this time and he decided it was time. He pushed her legs down, forcing them to part more and readied himself. Then there was aloud knocking at his front door... some one was calling him and the images in his mind went hazy.

It was then he realized he was dreaming as he sat bolt upright in his bed.

"What the hell...?" Sasuke said outloud glancing around his chilly room. He was drenched with sweat and the sheets clung to him. Sakura was huddled in a ball next to him not covered at all, but deffinetly completely clothed. He had been dreaming. About Sakura.... and wait... what? Another loud knocking at the door made him shake the thoughts and images from his mind, he had no idea what had brought on such a horrible dream. He secretly cursed her for not going to bed as he asked and he threw the sheets over her as he headed downstairs.

"What the hell is your problem?" he asked angrily, glaring at Naruto when he opened the door.

"It's Sakura-chan!" Naruto exclaimed, obviously out of breath, "her mom said she ran away when I went by there today! Ino told me that Sakura's dad died when we were off to get you so I was worried. And I can't find her anywhere and I thought maybe you had seen her..." the blue eyed boy finished in nearly all one breath.

"Hn, " said Sasuke scratching the back of his head and yawning seemingly without a care in the world. Naruto gaped at him. Did he not care!?

"You're not worried at all!?" He accused with wide eyes.

"No," he stated. He wasn't worried. She was there. He just wasn't sure he was ready to explain to Naruto why she was in his bed.

"You bastard! How can you not be worried! Her father just died!! And she's out there by herself!!!"

Sasuke cut him off, "Pipe down dobe... she's here."

"And! And! And!.. wait.. what? Here? What do you mean here!?" he studdered.

"I mean, she came by here last night and I told her she could stay until she had another place," he said reluctantly. He supposed her mom felt bad about throwing her out so she lied... bitch. He had never met Sakura's mother, and never really planned to, but he at least hoped Sakura could go home now. Wait... her dad died? Why hadn't she just said that? He hated the way she held so much back now. It wasn't like her at all, but then again, he had called her annoying when she used to wear her heart on her sleeve. He shut his brain up. He didn't make sense to himself when he thought to much.

"Well let me see her!" Naruto insisted.

"She's asleep..." he said as Naruto kept trying to peek around Sasuke, who was standing in his door way in boxers on an early December morning.

"Ne Sasuke-kun... who is here?" Sakura asked stringing her fingers through her hair as she came down the steps. 'Shit...'

Naruto looked from Sakura to Sasuke, who could say nothing. Sasuke was worried at first that Naruto was going to ask why she had come form his bedroom or why she was in his cloths. But he should have known, Naruto was too dense to realize something like that as he ran to her throwing his arms around her. Sakura jumped, after all, she was barely even awake enough to know some one was there. Naruto stepped back to examine her for a moment. His face twisted. "Ne Sakura-chan, what happened to your face?" he examined her more closely, "Did some one... hit you...?" he asked with a puzzled face. Sasuke tensed.

"Well uh..." Sakura covered her face with her hands, she had forgotten to take care of that... What was she to say, Naruto would surely know if she lied and yet, it would be difficult to explain exactly what had taken place.

"I.. uh.. well, he... he... he hit me," she blurted out with out meaning to. Naruto spun to look at Sasuke who was already facing him with a wide eyed expression.

"You did WHAT!?!?" Naruto exclaimed grabbing Sasuke by the collar and bringing back a fist. Sakura immediatly grabbed his arm, "No no no, Naruto! It's not like that. He didn't mean to hit me," she explained as Sasuke ripped Naruto's arm from his tshirt collar and pushed it away.

"Sure!" he yelled still staring Sasuke down, "that's what all girls say about theri abusive boyfriends!" Sakura shook her head with a giggle as a look of slight disgust plastered itself on Sasuke's pale face, "Sasuke-kun and I aren't like that Naruto, you should know, and it's the truth. I wouldn't lie to you, not even for Sasuke-kun" she replied.

"How'd he accidently hit you then?" the blond questioned never tearing his eyes from Sasuke's gaze.

"He was just trying to hit my hand away."

"He must have hit pretty hard to leave marks like that."

"I just haven't healed it yet..." she said fidgetting with her toes and staring at them, "my mind was else where..."

"Do you really distrust me that much?" Sasuke asked, knowing both of them had every reason too.

"No. I trust you. But I don't trust your anger and she's bruised and has been bleeding. For her to have an injury like this is serious" Naruto said confident in her healing ability, still assuming this was the after effect.

"I told you Naruto, this is before I've had the chance to mess with it, after I get done it will probably all be gone," she said trying to get her point across, "besides, he was half asleep when it happened."

"You promise?"

"Do you really think I'd hurt her like that on purpose?" Sasuke asked again, measuring the levels of trust his team mates had in him.

"No..." Naruto said relaxing a bit.


"Anou... Sasuke-kun? Aren't you cold?" She asked, a smirk on her blood red face. He then realized he was in his boxers. He tried not to blush but to no avail. "You should go get dressed, I'll make something to eat." she said as Naruto made himself at home on the sofa. Why did Sasuke not like this situation? Naruto was getting cozy on his sofa and Sakura was cooking breakfast. With what he didn't know, but she said she was going to. He didn't like this at all. This was the first time they had ever even been there and yet they acted like they lived there. He was too busy heading upstairs half naked to tell them to leave and anyways, she'd probably just go home with Naruto and for what ever reason Sasuke wasn't fond of that idea.

Yeah, he needed cloths. Sasuke took a brief shower and then put on the cloths he had worn the day before. His old Uchiha shirts with the high collars deffinetly wouldn't fit anymore. He sighed. He could smell eggs from down stairs and could hear Naruto and Sakura giggling. If the world ended they'd cry one day and laugh the other. They got over things so easy, and where as he refused to show it. He was bothered. He thought about and tried to remember the fight constantly and Kakashi. He lost his first sensei. They laughed and pretended not to care. He acted the same and pretended not to care. Didn't matter, they were all liars. He wanted to remember. Wanted to know why he was in Konoha and why he wasn't leaving. He didn't want to. He didn't know why. But he didn't want to. Orochimaru was dead for one, but besides that, he assumed he'd always be a missing nin yet Konoha took him back with little to no punishment. Except the anbu members that followed him just about everywhere and the fact that it would probably be a year or so before he was trusted on a serious mission again. Which he would hate.

"Sasuke-ku~n! Breakfast is done!!!!"

He sighed again... today promised to be a long day...

~Later that night~

Sasuke stepped up to the front door and got ready to open it when he heard a loud burp come from inside. Naruto was still there. 'Great,' he thought. He just really wanted to be left alone. He wanted to get used to living in Konoha again. If he had to stay there, couldn't things atleast be the way they used to? 'No,' he knew better. Things would never be like they used to. Kakashi was gone. He sighed sadly at the thought. He still wasn't even really sure why he felt like he had to stay. Then again he wasn't sure if he would be able to leave if he tried. He was more than likely being watched. Actually he knew he was. Maybe that could also be a reason why Naruto and Sakura stayed up his ass all the time. Maybe they figured they'd keep the past from repeating itself.

He opened the door just in time to catch Sakura standing in the kitchen door way and letting out a burp that put Naruto's to shame. Her face turned the color of his scarf. She was standing there with a spoon in her hand and an apron on. Her hair was tied up yet it fell in her face anyways. All the lights were on and Naruto was stretched across the sofa with a video game controller in his hand. He must have brought his system from his apartment. They yet again seemed to have made themselves at home in his house.

Sakura nearly dropped her spoon but Sasuke did little more than look at her funny. She blamed Naruto really. He had started the burping contest and messed up the living room she had already cleaned up after him once today. She had never expected Sasuke to be home so early yet there he was in the door way, staring at her like she was an idiot with an arm full of bags. 'Just lovely...' she thought.

"Uhh, welcome home Sasuke-kun! Are you hungry?" she said pretending to be a perfect lady.

"Hn.." he mumbled something as he headed up stairs but she couldn't make out what it was. Oh how she hated that answer.

"I blame you!" she half yelled half whispered pointing her spoon at Naruto after she heard Sasuke's bedroom door shut.

"N-naniii!?" the blond whined.

She just whirled around and headed back into the kitchen in response. Naruto pouted but continued his video game.

Sasuke pulled open a drawer and began to pack his new cloths away. He could smell the food from down stairs. There were never any smells in his home, or voices to be heard from other rooms. There was never laughter or burping contests. He bit back a touch of jealousy that nagged at him. What did he care how close they were? He paused then looked around to his bedroom door. It was closed and he could still hear them yelling and laughing from down stairs. He turned and sat with his back to his dresser and concentrated for a second, then burped. He smirked to him self. Yeah, he could take them.

Sakura peered into the living room, "Was that you?" she asked looking at Naruto.

"Was what me?" he asked confused.

"Nothing.. it must have been just me." she looked to the stairs a touch puzzled then brushed it off to continue her cooking.
