******
He awoke in a puddle of drool and he cursed himself for not being perfect. He stretched his arms upward and pain shot through his neck. eDamn her,f he thought to himself. His body was aching from sleeping the way he did and he looked to her. She was sprawled across his bed, covers tangled around her limbs and she snored, not really loudly, but rather quietly. He kind of wanted to strangle her.

gSAKURA-CHAN!!!h

The wailing came from down stairs. Sasuke got up quickly and pulled on a shirt, this looked bad enough without Naruto coming up there finding him half dressed. Just as he pulled the shirt over his head the pounding at his door began.

gWhat do you want??h Sasuke asked angrily sliding the door half way open.

gIs she with you!?h the blond nearly yelled.

gYeah, shefs right here,h Sasuke replied sliding his bedroom door open all the way, not bothering to hide the bitterness in his voice.

Naruto looked oddly disturbed to Sasuke, gN-nandec?h

gWell she didnft look very comfortable crushed under your foot.h

gOh, so you just slept with her?h Naruto sounded jealously sarcastic.

gI slept in the floor dobe, chill out.h

gChill out? Odd hearing that from you!h

gOhayo Naruto!!!h Sakura squealed from the bed in a voice that was happier than it should have been and both boys turned their attention to her, forgetting their quarrel. Her plan worked perfectly.

gOhayo!h Naruto called back bounding in the room and pushing past Sasuke in a leaping motion towards the bed. Sasuke observed them for a moment as he asked how she slept and they just chattered away, after a moment Sasuke could no longer understand what they were saying and they just blended in with the birds. He decided hefd cook this morning.


Sakura dashed out the door with a burned piece of toast in her mouth, Naruto hot on her trail. She was half pulling on her cloths as she got passed the gate and called back to a slightly confused Sasuke, gThanks for breakfast Sasuke-kun!!!! Ifll get dinner tonight!!!h

Sasuke stood at the front door scratching his head in confusement. They hadnft even said where they were going, not that he caredc He promptly headed inside deciding it was a nicely cold day for training.

fHinata-chan is going to kill mecf Sakura thought to herself. Then immediately shook that thought from her head, Hinata was physically capable of killing, but her heart was much to big for that, Naruto would have to be murdered before that Hyuuga girl would ever have blood on her hands.

gSakura-chan!h Hinata noticed her as soon she rounded the corner and Sakura stopped on a dime and Naruto came crashing into her. She smiled like an idiot as she stood and brushed herself off, making sure to push Naruto back over as he stood.


Hinata watched with a slight giggle as her friends showed up, fashionably late as always. Her heart still skipped when she saw him, every time, without fail. She was still shy at the sight of him, she still blushed furiously and became a complete mess every time they hung out. At least now when they were around each other she didnft COMPLETELY freak out or pass out. No, that would make things dramatically worse. She waved at him as the usual flush painted itfs self across her face.

gHey Hinata!h he grinned finally regaining his feet, gitfs your fault.h he grumbled to Sakura and she promptly popped him on the back of the head and grumbled something back about how it was his fault. Hinata giggled again. She knew Naruto still cared for Sakura in more than a platonic way but you would think them to be siblings the way they acted.


He watched the group carefully almost as if from the shadows though they knew he was there. Mostly though, he watched her. She had yet to notice or catch on she was to busy pining over another boy. But at some point, some how, he had come to want her as his own. Shefd probably never know. Maybe it was better that way. Who knew? But they boy she wanted was completely oblivious. He couldnft see the beauty that was right under his nose. Maybe he knew it was there, but the diamond still looked like coal to him. Neji walked up to join the crowd and was greeted warmly by his friends, and her.


The day had been long, not that she minded hanging out with the Hyuugas she just grew tired of smiling all day like that. She didnft want them to see the things that plagued her mind. Kakashifs kind face flashed through her mind and she nearly winced.

She had handed the groceries to Naruto who headed in through the front door as she went around back to the little trail in the woods maybe she would train, or just sit there. Anything was better than this. She wanted to heal.

As she neared the small clearing at the end of the trail she noticed some one had beaten her there. Sasuke didnft seem to notice her at all and she took on a sly grin and leapt silently into a tree drawing a few shuriken. He was just getting ready to rest, perfect. He was tired and off guard. And she struck, throwing three shuriken. The first hit the tree just behind his head the second he caught and used to throw off the third.

gNicech he said all but sarcastically, looking directly at her despite the distance.

gDamnc.h She cursed, barely dodging the one shuriken he had caught and thrown back at her.

gI didnft know you cursed Sakura,h he said standing with a smirk.

She bit her bottom lip with a mimicking smirk and dashed off.

Then it was on. Shefd throw hit after hit but he blocked them all with a smirk on his face. eDamn him,f she thought, ewhy does he have to be so distractingc?f It was that facec she didnft want to hit. He was so perfectly put together. Shefd swear hefd have to be an angel, but he was so sexy it was almost sinful, the she remembered, the devil was an angel tooc

But you see he made a tiny mistake. He actually began to chuckle at her, like mock her. She was the wimpy little girl she used to be. She wanted to prove it. She would.


He was playing at first but now it was starting to almost take his concentration to fight her. He strength was increasing and at this point she was already stronger than most boys he had fought and with each attack thrown she was only getting stronger. He almost had to dodge most of the attacks rather than block, which in a real fight he would do anyways, after all, he was fast as hell. Yeah, she may be strong but he figured hefs just blow her away with speed.


She threw a high kick, no longer worried about that pretty face of his, but about the time it should have made contact with his face he was gone and before she even had the chance to get her foot on solid ground and regain her balance he had grabbed one of her wrists. In the next instance her whole body made a series of sickening cracks as she flew into a nearby tree and slumped to the ground.


He cocked an eyebrow and shifted his wait to one foot peering over at her, eMaybe I over did it?f he questioned himself. He took a step forward, gSakura?h he asked.


She stood slowly and steadied herself then took her usual fighting stance. The insecure look in her eyes was gone and well replaced by a fire and determination. He lifted his eyebrows in fascination. He decided that was a good look on her, but he wouldnft admit that out loud. She looked almost angry, he wondered what shefd look like if she were truly angry, ehot,f he answered himself and then immediately felt like slapping himself. He could hardly picture her as ehot.f

gI guess youfre not done playing yet are you?h he asked taking a defensive stance with one of the sharpest smirks hefs ever worn.

So beautifully deadly was that face. But the more he taunted her and the sexier he looked the more she wanted to dislocate his jaw, so she charged.

The first few blows he dodged like they were nothing but then he became aware that they were only a setup. The next blow he had to block, it was a tightly clenched fist heading at him straight on. The second he grabbed her wrist he noticed the second was well on itfs way towards his jaw. He went to block but his attention was diverted by the fire growing in her bright green eyes. She looked so fierce and paused, only for a second but long enough and a crack echoed in his head and his ears wrong and next thing he knew he was sitting up off the ground hand over a swollen jaw. He kinda wanted to yell but the thought alone of moving that mouth was enough to make main course through his body.

gOh my god! Sasuke-kun are you okay!?h she nearly screamed and dropped down beside him.

He just bit is bottom lip and looked at her and she kinda grimaced.

gLemme seech she said leaning towards him.

He turned away sharply.

gSasuke-kun donft be a baby! I need to see if itfs broken or anythingch

He just shook his head slowly.

She slapped his hand away in response and placed her hand gently on the offended jaw. She concentrated for a moment and felt around carefully a bit. It didnft feel broken but maybe dislocated. She giggled a bit at her earlier thoughts. She had been so sure he would dodge that, she was going to follow it up with swift knee to the gut, hell hitting him at all would have made her happy. Something must have distracted him. Either way, she needed to get ice on it to help the swelling go down some so she could better treat it. She was pretty positive she could do this herself, she didnft think hefd need to go to the hospital.


His head was still spinning and she was telling him to get up? He didnft get her. eShe better be glad shefs a fuckinf girl,f he thought. He wasnft really so much mad as he was confused; he wasnft sure how to feel. She just decked him in the jaw! But he couldnft really be mad, it wasnft an actual efightf but it was fair. He shouldnft have got caught of guard. Then he reversed his misplaced anger on himself. What a fool.

Both paused when they heard insane giggling from the trail near the house.

gYou got knocked the fuck out!h the blond boy was already on his knees kneeling over with laughter pointing towards the pair. Sasukefs blood boiled as he found a new target for his unrelenting anger. Then he was on his feet.
