How long had it been since I last saw her? Two years? Three? Maybe less, maybe more, I couldn’t tell anymore. All I knew was that, after so long, I could hardly believe my eyes.

She was beautiful. Like some sort of pink-haired goddess. It was amazing and all I could do was stare and stare at her.

Well, until Naruto noticed, that is. “Hey, Kankuro!” he chirped, swinging his arm around my shoulders and dragging me into a hug slash noogie.

“Oi!” I protested, struggling to get free. When had the kid gotten so strong? I supposed it made sense that he would be, though. He spent all this time training so he could keep better control over the Kyubi. It only figured that he’d gain physical strength to go with the chakra strength. “Leggo!”

The blond snickered and stopped giving me the noogie, though he didn’t release me. “What’s with the staring, man?” he asked. There was an edge to his voice, like he planned on kicking my ass if I gave the wrong answer.

I gulped. “Uh... Naruto, you’re choking me,” I said, dodging the question.

“I know,” was the simple answer. He still didn’t let me go.

I realized that he wasn’t going to until I gave a satisfactory answer. He’d know if I was lying, though... Coughing, I ventured, “Well... she’s pretty gorgeous... It’s been a while. I was surprised at how much she’s changed... Can you let me go? Gaara’d get mad if you strangled me.”

When Naruto reluctantly released me, I got the feeling that it wasn’t because of Gaara’s sometimes unstable temper. Luckily, the blond didn’t seem too upset by my little white lie (I hoped he took it for truth, to be honest) and beamed at me. “I didn’t notice, I guess! But maybe she has, since you saw her last, right?”

I straightened and gently massaged my neck. “Uh, yeah...”

Light blue eyes sparkled before Naruto turned and jogged back over to his teammates and Gaara, leaving me behind to wonder just what that diabolical kid was up to.

“Sakuraaa-chaaan!” Naruto cried, returning from greeting Kankuro. He latched onto my arm and grinned strangely. “Hey!”

“Naruto,” Gaara sighed, having been interrupted in the middle of whatever he’d been saying.

Admittedly, I hadn’t really been paying attention. It was just too damn hot out here, and we’d been traveling for three days before hand. My attention span was like nil. Luckily, only Sai seemed to have noticed and he was too busy checking out some girl to bother calling me on it (otherwise, I had no doubts that he would have, the asshole).

“Gaara,” Naruto replied, mimicking Gaara’s tone just to be obnoxious. He smirked when Gaara’s eyes narrowed. “So! Can we go in and stop standing around sweating our muscles off?”

Gaara sighed again. “Fine,” he muttered, clearly annoyed with the blond.

There’s a feeling I could relate to. “Naruto, stop being annoying,” I scolded and offered the Kazekage a small smile. Naruto draped his arm around my shoulders almost possessively, but I’d gotten used to such behavior from him a while ago. Ever since it sunk into his thick skull that I just wasn't interested, he’d become this over-bearing, protective brother that I couldn’t seem to get rid of.

However, seeing as he was the only thing keeping me from falling over in a dead sleep right now, I guess I don’t mind so much. (Even if he always got in the way of me getting laid.)

Gaara shook his head. “Follow me,” he said, turning away to re-enter the gates of Suna. He always met us right here at the gates, though I had no idea why...

Shrugging the thought away, I stepped out of Naruto’s grasp and followed the Kazekage and his brother into the city.

I hoped we could get some food soon...

xXx

I was waiting for her in her room. She’d gone to take a shower as soon as she could (after devouring almost as much food as I had). When she came out of the bathroom connecting her suite to mine, she saw me and screamed.

“NARUTO, GET THE HELL OUT!!” She dove back into the bathroom and slammed the door shut so hard the stone wall around it cracked.

I snickered and patted the pile of her clothes in my lap. “Saakurraaa-chaan,” I called, smirking. “Come out! I’m not gonna bite!”

“Naruto, give me my clothes! And if you try anything, I swear to Yondaime-sama that you will die a horrible, terrible, painful death!”

That was a threat I had to take seriously. I felt a shiver going down my spine just thinking about it. Quickly, I got up and edged closer to the door. Once in front of it, I carefully set the clothes down on the floor and wasted no time getting as far across the room as I possibly could. The door opened and she grabbed her clothes before slamming it again.

When she came out two minutes later, she looked a little calmer, but I kept the bed between us... just in case. “Hey, Sakura-chan,” I ventured. “Can I talk to you about something?”

She gave me the ‘you are going to die, but I’ll pretend for the moment that I have no intention of killing you’ smile. I shivered again. “Sure, Naruto,” she replied sweetly. “Have a seat.”

“I think I’m good,” I replied, sweating buckets.

“Sit.”

“Yes ma’am.” I sat on the bed, as far from her as possible.

She smiled at me. “Okay, so what’s up, Naruto?”

I eyed her nails, tapping impatiently on the cover of the bed. Gulping, I gave her a nervous grin. “So... Uh... I w-was wondering... what you thought about... er, Kankuro.”

Sakura blinked and quirked a brow. “Kankuro? Uh... I don’t usually think about him... Why?”

I felt giddy at that and couldn’t help grinning at her. “Cause he totally thinks you’re hot.”

xXx

I was slowly going insane. Naruto and the rest of Team Kakashi had been in Suna for a week now. Every time I saw the blond or the kunoichi, I was painfully reminded that I seemed to be stuck on her.

Stuck. Like glue, or a song that wouldn’t get out of your head. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. She was beautiful, and crazy, and kind, and talented and amazing... I could go on.

But I won’t. Why? She’s standing right in front of me.

“Hi, Kankuro,” she said with a slight smile.

I swallowed and stared at her, eyes impossibly wide (well, it felt like it anyway). “Uh... H-hey... Sakura-chan,” I replied, taking a step back.

How she’d managed to corner me in a bar on the one night I went out drinking, I would never know. ...okay, that’s a lie. I was going to murder Temari tonight, though.

Smiling sweetly, she followed, backing me up against the wall. We were standing in the darkest corner (damn my luck) with everyone’s attention elsewhere. On Naruto. Oh, shit, they’d planned this?

I was about to hurl. I think. Maybe. Except I wouldn’t want to hurl on her and end up ruining her dress (and any chance I would ever have with her in like... well, ever). “Uh... S-Sakura-chan...?” I ventured when she leaned against me. She was getting a little too close for comfort.

I was getting freaking horny here, man.

“Yes, Kankuro?” she asked, wrapping her arms around my neck and smirking.

I gulped again. Damn she was sexy... “I... uh... What are you doing here?” I asked. I was trying to slip back into my usual self. You know, the one that fucks whoever he wants and then moves on? No broken hearts, of course. But no one expects to get with me permanently anymore.

“Here? Getting close...” she murmured, leaning forward. “... and...” She pressed her lips against my ear to whisper the rest. “Personal."

“I see that,” I squeaked, eyes getting wider. (Was that even possible at this point? I think I’ll just go die after this.)

Sakura snorted and leaned her head against my shoulder as she collapsed into helpless laughter. “Oh, damn, Kank. Naruto said you had it bad, but I didn’t believe him.”

Kank? Where did she get ‘Kank’? Was she spending time... with... my sis...ter... “EW! TEMARI!! GET OFFA ME!” I shrieked like a little girl, shoving her away.

Temari dropped the henge, clutching her stomach and laughing her ass off. At me. She was laughing at me. And my crush on Sakura. “Damn. You’re such a pain in the ass,” I groused, brushing myself off as if I were trying to get rid of sister-cooties. (I was.)

My sister snickered. “Yeah, yeah. Damn, when’d you start liking her? And how? You’ve like... never spent any decent amount of time with her. What the hell, Kank?”

I sighed and sat in a nearby chair, pouting (I’d perfected this expression, damn it). “I don’t know. She’s... she’s gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. And smart. And amazing...”

Temari waved me silent. “Yeah, yeah, I get it. You seriously like her?”

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. “Well... yeah... I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t,” I muttered. “Why not? I mean, what’s wrong with it. You sound like that’s a bad thing or something.”

Temari shrugged. “Well, no, it’s not. She just flipped when Naruto told her that you thought she was hot.”

“He told her?!” I yelped, paling.

She snorted. “Yes. She totally panicked, or at least that’s how he made it sound.” She flashed perfectly white teeth and sat beside me. “So... what’re you gonna do about it?”

“Hide in my closet until she goes home?” I asked hopefully.

Temari gave me a look. “Try again.”

I grimaced. “Oh, boy.”

When dealing with Naruto, one has to remember that yes, he seems like a sweet, mostly dependable guy. And yes, his eyes are so innocent and his smile so bright...

But underneath it all, he was a devious manipulator. One just had to remember that, even with him smiling so pleading at you.

Unfortunately, I, Haruno Sakura, am about as gullible as they come. Especially when it came to Naruto.

So here I was, lost in some weird dark room, hearing the rattling of something (I almost wanted to say puppets) all around me. Unfortunately, I felt no chakra signature whatsoever, and anyway, Naruto (the jerk) had promised that I would be ‘safe’ with a ‘friend’.

I was kind of suspicious about who this friend was. Hopefully, it wouldn’t be someone... odd.

Or Kankuro. Aaugh, I’d die if it was Kankuro. Just the thought had me blushing like a little girl. Why’d he have to like me? I mean, my crush from years ago notwithstanding, there was no attraction between us (why does that feel like a lie?) and no reason for him to...

Oh, forget it.

I sighed and glanced around, hearing the rattling again. “Hello?” I called out, frowning. “Look, I know someone’s there, so if you don’t come out right now, I’m gonna ground you into living sausage.”

And just like that, I couldn’t move my arms, my legs... anything. I knew this feeling though. I had experienced it before. “Kankuro?” I scowled. “What the hell?”

“Well, I can’t have you turning me to mince meat,” he retorted defensively. “Can you just hear me out?”

Hear him out!? I’m standing here, stuck in place by chakra threads, and he wants me to hear him out?! “I am going to kill you, just as soon as I break these threads, you egotistical-”

He sighed. “Nope. Guess not. Okay.” He waved his left hand (I barely saw him do it, as it was nearly pitch black in the room). Something grabbed me from behind, forcing me to sit in a chair (ooohhh, I’m going to MURDER him!).

Before I could say or do anything, though, a light flashed to life, blinding me for a moment. “AUGH!”

“Sorry,” he muttered from somewhere to my left. “Uh, anyway... I uh... I’m going to release you now... So don’t kill me?”

“I am going to murder you,” I replied furiously. I was, too. I was plotting out the best way to make him scream in pain.

Kankuro grimaced... and lifted his hands in surrender.

Instantly, I lunged, tackling him to the ground and pinning him there with chakra-enhanced strength. I was actually tempted to start wailing on him, but something held me back. Instead, I glared down at him and demanded, “What are you doing? Why the hell’d you lure me here, Kankuro?”

“I told him you’d be pissed, but he said something about sex being better that way and I said-”

“Naruto,” I interrupted. “This was his idea?”

He gulped. “Well, him and Temari, but yeah...”

I groaned and dropped my head onto his shoulder. “So what’s the point?” I asked, a little irritated (and a little horny, now that sex had been mentioned...)

“Well, I think I was supposed to confess that I think you’re hot and I haven’t been able to get you out of my head and... um, but I’m rambling now so I’m going to shut up before you murder me.” He laughed nervously.

I rolled my eyes. “Kankuro, you’re a sweet guy... but to be honest...” I lifted my head and quirked a brow at him. “You’re not forceful enough, and the make-up is kind of a turn-off.”

“Hey, it’s battle paint!” he protested immediately, and then as an after thought, “And I’m plenty forceful!”

I snorted and smirked down at him. “Sorry, Kankuro-kun...” I nudged our hips together for half a moment, wanting to tease him. “But I’m more of a man than you.”

I could tell immediately that I’d insulted him. Of course I had. I’d just said he was girly (Oh, I knew he wasn’t, but this was a test). His eyes narrowed at me, but he made absolutely no movement. “I see. So, you think I’m not masculine, huh?” he asked with a dangerous grin that sent a shiver down my spine.

“Yup,” I replied smartly.

He lifted a hand and nudged me off of him. “Well... I suppose I could make you regret saying that,” he said, and licked his lips. He flicked his fingers at me, like he was flinging water and I suddenly couldn’t move.

“Kankuro,” I said dangerously, glaring at him.

“Have faith, pinky,” he teased, pushing me over onto my back. He straddled my waist and eyed me like a particularly tasty morsel. I had to admit, even if he was wearing make-up, he looked damn sexy like that. “I promise I don’t plan on leaving you like that.”

Despite my current physical state (I was really turned on), I continued with my angry charade. “Kankuro, if you don’t let me go-”

“What?” He trailed a hand down my side, then splayed his fingers across my covered stomach. “You going to beat me? I’ll have you know that I am the strongest living puppeteer. And you, sexy, are going to be my puppet tonight.”

I made a show of growling, even as he slowly unzipped my top. He smirked once it fell open. “Aw, Sakura... No bra? You naughty girl.”

I snorted. “So I’m not going to be able to talk you out of this, huh?”

He leaned down, placing one hand on my bare breast, and smirked in my face. “Nope.”

“Well then.” Abruptly, I broke the chakra strings from my arms with a surge of chakra. His eyes widened, but I was already dragging him down for a rough kiss. He easily disengaged my hand from his shirt and trapped both my arms above my head.

Then he pulled back and kissed a line down my throat, nibbled on the collar bone and moved back up for another kiss. “Don’t be so hasty, Sakura,” he said softly.

I felt that familiar rush of excited adrenaline, even as I grinned. “Sure, sure. Just fuck me already.”

Kankuro chuckled at that and released my arms. “Okay, baby. You asked for it.” He lowered his mouth to my breast and then suddenly, everything felt like it was going too fast. Before I knew it, we were both naked and in some sort of bed nearby. Briefly, I wondered if we were in his room, but then he was nudging my knees apart.

When he thrust his fingers inside me, I whimpered. It was like he aimed right for that spot (and maybe he had). Over and over, he pumped his fingers into me, making me writhe, moan, thrust up to meet it. And then I was falling over the edge, his name on my lips.

He didn’t stop there though. No, he crawled up me, licking, kissing, touching, brushing... the friction was driving me slowly insane. I found myself slowly spiraling up again when I hadn’t even finished coming down.

I arched upward when he took my breast into his mouth, sucking and rolling the nipple between his tongue and upper teeth.

“Oh, gods... Kankuro...” I moaned. My fingers were buried in his hair, clutching on for dear life. I thought about raping him, just to hit that release again.

He grunted and released my breast, only to lavish the same attention onto it’s twin. “Kankuro,” I hissed, annoyed. Yes, my breasts were getting nice attention, but I wanted him down there dammit! Lower! I wanted him inside me.... And yet, the only thing I could articulate at the moment was a low, angry growl.

I think he got the point, though.

Kankuro laughed at me, but obediently positioned himself at my entrance. “Just one question, gorgeous. Do I need to stop to get a condom?”

“No, and if you do anyway, I’m going to rape you,” I hissed.

“You’re on the pill?” he asked hopefully.

“Yes... Yes. Now get that thing inside me before I make you,” I snapped.

He laughed and obliged. I groaned, feeling him stretch me inside. It was great. Who was I kidding? It was always great. Somehow, though, fucking Kankuro was... really great... I didn’t make sense even to myself, so I rolled my hips and shut up.

The action pulled him in deeper, making us both moan. “Damn,” he panted, pulling out and thrusting back in a little harder. “Just damn.”

I chuckled, but that melted into a groan. “Yeah,” I agreed, dragging him into a kiss a second later. It felt insane, like we were both trying to get into each other’s skin. It was almost as if we wanted to be a part of each other, which was insane.

This was... just Kankuro. Fucking amazing Kankuro. Gods, he felt so fucking good. “I think,” he whispered, thrusting in again. I was so close, I could almost taste it... “I think I’m in... love with you.”

And as he thrusted in again, I felt something inside me snap and I was cresting and then spiraling down again, delicious little aftershocks drawing out the moment. He came a beat later and when I finally felt the last tremor, we lay in silence.

It gave me time to think, even if my thoughts were a little groggy. Love, huh? Was he for real? I mean, I’d had Naruto claiming to love me ever since we were kids. He never really had, though. It was just a puppy-crush and now he’d moved onto bigger and better things. Mainly, his lovely little Hyuuga fiance. He and Hinata were perfect for each other...

“Sorry,” he muttered, dragging me back to reality.

“Did you mean it?” I asked, ignoring his apology.

He shrugged, holding me close. “I think so. I mean, I’ve never been in love before, so I don’t know...”

“Oh.”

We fell silent for a time before he spoke again. “I can’t get you out of my head. It’s like my thoughts are stuck on you and they won’t let me go anywhere or talk to anyone without something reminding me of you.” He paused, then added, “I tried other stuff. You know... to get my mind off you. It was unnatural for me to be so... well, to think of someone so much. I guess I got a little...”

“Scared?” I inserted.

He hesitated, then nodded against my back. “Mmhm. A little. I just... I thought maybe if we fucked maybe it’d go away...”

“Did it?” I asked curiously. It wasn’t like I hadn’t just fucked someone out of the blue before. In fact, Shikamaru and Kiba could both say that I would occasionally do that.

Kankuro sighed. “No. Actually, I think it’s worse.” Pause. “I’m... happier now. I mean, I guess I can understand if you don’t wanna stick around. I know if I had some person I had barely ever talked to before coming up, screwing me and professing their love, I’d run so far away that my brother would have to send out search parties-”

I turned in his arms, cutting him off. “I don’t mind. I don’t know about loving you, but I’m definitely attracted. I could try,” I offered, smiling at him. “We might have a problem with the make-up, tho. It’s like all over me, I bet.”

He snorted. “Nothing a shower won’t fix,” he replied, then paused. Suddenly, a grin crossed his face. “You know... showers can get pretty hot...”

I grinned back at him. “Mmm... sex in the shower? Sounds good. Let’s go.”

“Yes, ma’am,” he said with a laugh, letting me drag him off the bed and toward the bathroom. Or rather- “Sakura, the bathroom’s the other way.”

“Oh, right.”
