Sasuke and Sakura felt a bit awkward the next morning considering that they were smooching the night before. Her cheeks flashed a slight pink when she encountered Sasuke in the kitchen (again). But then she noticed the huge mess in the kitchen with Naruto still cooking up some noodles. “Narutoo...” she gave a warning tone to the blond.“You better clean that up, don’t try me, Uzumaki!” Sakura pointed a finger at the sink which was piled with dirty pots and cooking utensils then giving the blond boy a threatening glare. Naruto’s eyes were wide open and cringed at her scolding.“Yes, Sakura-chan. Heh..” He jumped to his feet and began cleaning up thproughly. Then Sakura softened and chuckled.“Demanding..” She turned around to see Sasuke fully dressed and giggled.“I have my ways,” she then turned to the clock and gasped, “10 o’clock!? Ack, Kakashi-sensei will be furious. We have to go.”
Naruto stopped and snickered, “You actually think that Kaka-sensei will get mad at us for being late? You ‘kay, Sakura-chan?” Sakura blinked and started laughing. The Uchiha himself couldn’t help but give a small smirk. Instead they helped the blonde clean up the kitchen and went down towards their usual training area.

To their surprise, Kakashi was there waiting for them when usually it would be vise versa.“Kakashi-sensei, we’re so sorry for being late,” Sakura fumbled around for some good excuse.“Hm, its alright, Sakura. Now I see that its better being late than waiting here..” he muttered something under his breath.

They went on and began training their jutsus, especially Sakura who couldn’t keep up with the boys. ‘It’s a shame she doesn’t possess the same chakra reserves as the other two, she would’ve made a quick high-level ninja.’ Kakashi admired Sakura’s determination and skill compared to Sasuke’s advanced-bloodline or the Kyuubi’s chakra. Sasuke on the other hand was being frustrated with his efforts and seemed to be distracted. He seemed to be acting this way for the few days, something was certainly troubling him.

Kakashi had a strong feeling it was about Itachi, but who knows, Sasuke was almost impossible to forecast.

He couldn’t keep his mind on his energy distribution and failed miserably. The brunette couldn’t help but notice Sakura’s great progress with her new jutsus that their sensei had just taught her today. She could almost do it perfectly and now all she’s working on is the speed and strength. He actually felt a bit of envy towards her which only made him curse at himself even more. “Calm down, Uchiha. Get some water and try again,” he offered. Ah, but Sasuke just came back, dripping wet from head to toe. “Urgh, that’s it for me,” he grunted, “I’m going,” then disappeared.

‘I must increase my power no matter what. This is not working for me, I must go out and venture for more strength.’
And so he planned to leave that very night but suddenly remembered the passionate kiss he shared with Sakura. He wasn’t sure whether he really had feelings for her and stay, but he was an avenger. There is no room for these types of emotions to an avenger as he, he just wouldn’t stay true to that fact.

Sasuke gave an irritated sigh then started packing his things. ‘Perhaps, a quick glance to my teammates before I leave.’ He brought his bag with him then went to Naruto’s apartment. He looked in through a window, Naruto as usual was chowing down a few bowls of ramen then letting out a loud burp.“Mmm….” Naruto rubbed his stomach. Something caught his eye and darted out the window.

“What the-” Nobody was outside at all, but he felt a sharp wind go past him. He stood outside and blinked then went back in to clean his dishes. ‘Hmm, I wonder what that was.’ Then something else caught his eye! A rice cake was sitting on the ground with a scrawny mouse surrounding it. ‘Huh! A perfectly good onigiri!’ He kicked the mouse away, dusted off some of the dirt then chewed happily. ‘Oh wow, its pretty crunchy when its aged.’‘Ugh, stupid Naruto. He’ll catch food poisoning someday’ Sasuke stared at the blond then jumped off to Sakura’s apartment.

He wasn’t sure if he should just barge in and peek through her window, then again he wasn’t that much of a gentleman.

The nin crouched low and looked in her window. She wasn’t there. He raised an eyebrow as he heard showers in the bathroom switch off. After a couple of minutes, Sakura came out with only a mere towel wrapped around her. Her pink hair was still dripping and so was the rest of her body.

Sasuke felt his face redden and planned to run away, giving her privacy, yet something deep inside told him to stay, and he accepted immediately. She went over to her closet and took out another one of her sheer night dresses, this time it was tinted green which complemented her eyes beautifully.

He was just about to leave when Sakura then let the towel drop to the floor. His eyes widened, cheeks burning, (drop of blood out of his nose) and chocked silently at how magnificent her curves really looked without her usual ill-fitting dress.

Her breast were full and oh-so round. He wondered if Ino had anything to do with Sakura being so conservative. The boy never knew that Sakura could actually possess such a scrumptious body.

If one was to glance at her, she seems to be like any other girl in Konoha: plain and somewhat perky.

Sasuke couldn’t help but trace his eyes downwards and lock at the sight of her clean-shaven womanhood. This above all, persuaded his erection. Images flashed from the night before and now Sakura’s bare figure. A small moan escaped his lips unwittingly, then Sakura quickly gazed towards her window.

He jumped down and leaned back on the wall just underneath the window sill. His heartbeat increased and inwardly kicked himself for not leaving sooner and having to stare at Sakura like that. Sakura felt a bit nervous and went over to the window fully dressed.

The Uchiha could feel her chakra, and tightened his palms into two fists ready to punch himself. Just to make sure, she tucked away any open spaces that could be seen outside and closed the windows completely. Sasuke jumped up only to see heavy curtains blocking his view of the insid, but he managed to peer through a forgotten corner and saw Sakura fully dressed. “Kuso!” ‘Damn’ He said in a harsh whisper, unfortunately, loud enough for Sakura to come rushing to the window and glaring outside. Fortunately, Sasuke was quick enough to jump on her roof silently.“Who goes there?!” She said in threatening tone, kunai in hand. Then after a moment she withdrew herself from the window and went to bed. ‘This is ridiculous. Naruto’s such a bad influence,’ he pounced down the roof and headed out to wherever his instincts dragged him to. The boy felt a stab of guilt rush in him for not notifying anyone of his departure.
‘Tch, only so they can try to stop me and mope over my loss..’ he snorted and walked on his journey to find more power.
