Last chapter:

She was prevented from moving though when Sasuke snaked a steely arm around her waist and pressed her fully against his hard chest. Sakura's eyes widened in shock and then narrowed dangerously. She was just about to unleash her legendary temper when Sasuke did something that rocked her to her soul.

Curse Seal's

 

Before she could even react she felt soft, warm lips cover her own and she felt shock run through her system. Her eyes were wide as saucers as she felt Sasuke slant his lips across her own.

`Is this happening? Is Sasuke really kissing me?'

Feeling hot liquid stream through her to end in the pit of her stomach, she gasped as her skin practically tingled with the electric sparks that seemed to jump between Sasuke and her. She closed her eyes and practically melted into his arms as she slipped her arms around his neck and pressed her body more firmly against his. She loved the feel of his rock hard body molded against her own. She loved the way he smelled of pure unadulterated male and of the forest and wind. She moved her lips against his, willingly opening her mouth to his hot, exploring tongue. The minute his tongue touched her own she felt another spark of awareness slide down her spine and she shivered in pleasure, her body coming alive under Sasuke's touch. She wanted this to last forever, to stay in his arms like this and not care about the world and its pain. She wanted to always feel his strong arms around her; it made her feel so safe and protected like no one could hurt her within their soft embrace. She had always wondered what it would be like to kiss the Uchiha, she had dreamed of it when she was young and now that she was within his embrace and kissing him she knew that those dreams were nothing compared to the reality. It was this thought that woke her from the haze of lust that had settled over her mind. Her eyes snapped open and she roughly pushed against Sasuke's solid chest, wrenching herself from his embrace. She backed away from him, feeling panic flow through her. Her heart was beating hard in her chest like a fluttering bird trying to escape its cage. She brought her fingers up to her mouth and slid the pad of her finger over her wet lips, the lips that had just been kissing Sasuke, the man that had broken her heart and taken apart of her soul with him. A murderous look entered her glittering eyes and she looked into Sasuke's eyes that still held no emotion. She hated those eyes, she hated that face; what was she thinking?!

“Don't ever… touch me! You don't have the fucking right to touch me Uchiha! You lost that right the minute you turned your back on me,” Sakura whispered in a low and menacing voice, her temper simmering just beneath the surface.

Sasuke watched the spitfire before him and he had to admit instead of feeling fear he felt even more attracted to Sakura. He didn't know what had overcome him when he had kissed her but he did not regret it. The way she had looked at him, those once pure eyes filled with so much pain and sadness had made him move to comfort her without his knowledge. Before he had known what he was doing he had embraced her and he had to admit it felt so right to have her small body pressed up against his. She had felt so small and breakable within his arms, he had wanted to comfort her but instead he had given into his desire. The minute she had looked up at him with those green eyes he couldn't help himself he had to kiss her. He had wanted to kiss her since the minute he had seen her in that clearing by the river. She had become so beautiful, something that he had yearned for in the past lonely years. Seeing the pure emotion and the wild energy that surrounded her made him yearn for her, but he knew that she was an impossibility. He had hurt her too much in the past for her to forgive him and even though he had acknowledged that fact he just couldn't help himself, he had to taste her just once. She had tasted like sweet honey and she had smelled like the wildness that surrounded her. She was like the wind, free and unpredictable and he wanted the challenge of capturing her. He shook his head to clear his thoughts, immediately throwing that last thought out of the window. He could not continue to desire her, he would never be able to be with her and he would probably be thrown out of the village at his trial in three weeks anyways. It would do no good for the both of them to dig up old feelings. Gritting his teeth he met Sakura's furious gaze and almost let a smile curve his lips. She was indeed a little spitfire and he realized he had always liked that about her. She had always had that horrible temper beneath her sweet façade and now that she was older she was not afraid to show it and he liked that.

“Gomen Sakura it won't happen again,” He said simply knowing that it would feed the flame of her temper.

As he had predicated his comment did not ease the fire in her eyes but made it burn like wildfire. Before he knew it he was pressed up against the wooden pole he had just been leaning on a minute ago, Sakura's slender hand curled around his neck. He tried not to wince as her hold tightened, starting to crush his windpipe. He struggled to stay calm, fighting to drag in fresh air, but her punishing hold did not lessen and he saw in her eyes that she was fighting within herself. He could see the intense urge to kill him but he could also see another urge to do something else entirely. He brought up his hand slowly and brushed away a pink lock from her eyes and for the first time in a long time he let his mask fall and he allowed all of his bottled up emotions to cross over his eyes. Sakura's hand fell away from Sasuke's bruised neck and she stared into his open eyes in shock. She could see the intense pain and sadness in their dark depths and she could also see an immense feeling of loneliness and regret. She stumbled back from him and it hit her that his eyes looked exactly like her's, they held the same emotions and she realized that he had trusted her and let her look into his soul and what she saw their disarmed her more then if he had come out and spoken of his emotions. She wished she could shake the odd sensation she felt pass through her but she couldn't shake the feeling of comradity that she suddenly felt for the Uchiha before her. She backed away another step and realized why she didn't want to see him again, it was because she knew deep down that this would happen, she knew that her old feelings for him would emerge and she was right. Looking into Sasuke's pain filled eyes she felt her heart constrict painfully in her chest and she felt the lost part of her soul begin to emerge from the wave of hate and despair it had been drowning in. She didn't want this, she didn't want to feel anything for the Uchiha and knowing she was forced to live with him for the next three weeks did nothing to calm the fear she now felt within her. Her hands clenched into fists at her side and she felt her body begin to tremble uncontrollably. She couldn't do this, not with this man, she couldn't feel anything for him and she was determined to make sure she staid as aloof and cold towards him as he was towards her. Turning from the Uchiha she swallowed down the fear and loneliness and lowered her eyes to the memorial again.

“I am only your guard and our relationship will go no further then that. I learned a long time ago not to trust you and I will follow that lesson. You will not touch me again or next time I will not hesitate to kill you. I do not desire you nor do I want your affections Uchiha,” she said coldly and then took off into the woods, not caring if he followed or not.

Bright blue eyes filled with sadness as the scene played out before him. He had known that Sakura still harbored feelings for Sasuke but he didn't expect Sasuke to be the one to act first. It had surprised him as much as it had surprised his pink-haired friend. Secretly he had smiled because he had wanted this to happen. For the last couple of years he had watched his former teammate begin to withdraw within herself until only a shell of her remained. He had felt helpless because no matter how much he had tried to get the old Sakura back, he had failed miserably. But he had seen the willful passion in her green eyes again when Sasuke had returned and that was when he had decided that he would force his two former teammates together and see if they would be able to heal each other. From the looks of it, things were going as he had expected and he let a small smile grace his lips. He would have to tell Hinata all about this one, he just hoped Sakura didn't catch wind of his little matchmaking schemes because she would surely kill him if she did. Shuddering at the thought of being the cause of her temper, he turned away from the clearing and made his way back home where Hinata, his lovely wife, waited with their growing child in her womb. He smiled to himself and made an oath and a promise that he would bring Sasuke and Sakura together and they would be a big happy family again. He just hoped that his plans worked out…

The next week went by rather quickly and Sakura was very glad that it had. She couldn't wait until she could get rid of her unwanted shadow. Ever since the first night she and Sasuke had not spoken a word and she was glad for it. Even though they traveled and ate together she was glad that he had distanced himself from her once again, it was what she wanted. Throughout the week she had been making preparations with Hinata and the hospital for breaking the seal on Sasuke's shoulder. She had not wanted to take the seal off of him after what happened the first night but she had given her word and she would not let him take away her honor as well. On the first day of the second week she decided that it would be the night that she would attempt to unseal the curse seal. She had ordered a spare room for her use at the hospital and Hinata and some other Medic Nin's close to her would be their to help her maintain the healing circle around Sasuke. That morning she led Sasuke into the large room in a far wing of the hospital that was not usually used. She was glad to find four other Medic Nin's and Hinata already in place, an intricate design lay out before them. It was a protection circle that protected and helped the healer within.

She turned to Sasuke. “Take off your shirt and your weapons and sit in the middle of that circle. Make sure to clear your mind and ready yourself for pain because this will hurt,” She said curtly and turned from him, walking up to Hinata.

She could see the large mass of her stomach and Sakura suddenly felt guilty for having asked the pregnant woman for her assistance.

“Hinata thank you so much for coming.”

Hinata turned towards Sakura and she was taken aback at the glow that lightened the pale girls face.

“I will not be able to assist as much as before but I will help with what I can, I did get an extra Nin to replace me and Naruto is available at anytime if something goes wrong… are you sure you're ready for this? The last time you almost used up all of your chakra and you almost d…”

“Don't worry Hinata I'll be fine. Well let's begin, I just want to get this over with,” Sakura said pulling an herb from her pouch. She walked to the middle of the circle where Sasuke sat and handed him a part of the herb and put the other part in her mouth. Sasuke took the herb and also put it in his mouth.

“It will help keep us focused, don't worry it's not poison,” She said joking for the first time since that first night.

Sasuke just nodded and went back to staring into space. Sakura turned from him and watched as the four Nin took their places.

“Okay everyone you know what to do; I won't need your healing chakra until I begin to extract the seal so make sure to preserve your strength till then. Okay let's begin.”

Sakura closed her eyes and performed a set of seals. Instantly a green light burst from her feet and followed the intricate design on the floor until the whole circle was aglow. Each medic Nin performed the same seal and the green glow brightened. A small gust of wind whipped through Sakura's locks and she opened her eyes and kneeled behind Sasuke's broad back. She could see the tenseness in his shoulders. She rested her hand on his shoulder and the muscle under her fingers jumped at the contact.

“You need to relax a little I m going to enter your body with my chakra but you need to let me in.”

Sasuke visibly relaxed and Sakura closed her eyes imagining herself flowing into her arm and into his body through her contact with him. The minute she entered his body she could feel the dark aura the seal gave off. It was more horrible then Anko's and she shuddered. Steeling herself she rushed to where she saw the seal and made her way to the large bubble of chakra that shielded the seal from the rest of Sasuke's body. The shield was still in place thankfully but it had weakened a lot since she had last seen it. The seal, as if sensing power, started to pound against the shield, its black liquid like body ramming against the shield. Forcing more chakra through her contact, she allowed her pink chakra to surround the shield and herself. She entered the shield and made her way past the black blob and up to where the seal connected to Sasuke's chakra. She could see the seal's heart their and she made a seal and poured her chakra into undoing the seal. She had gotten more then three fourths off when she felt the ominous chakra of the seal behind her. She glanced behind her to see that the blob was making its way slowly to where she stood and the pink shield that was around her was beginning to fade as her strength was being pored into undoing the seal. She quickly continued to undo the intricate wording on the chakra lines and when she finally finished she felt the seal disappear from Sasuke's skin, the only thing remaining was the dark blob that was still incased within its double shield. Quickly getting out of the shield she was just in time to see the blob reach her but thankfully for her it just banged harmlessly against the shield. Sighing wearily she followed her chakra back to her connection, bring the blob with her. Before she entered her body again she made sure that her hand was firmly attached to the bubble and then she entered her body again and automatically felt bone tired. Taking a deep breath she concentrated on keeping her hold on the blob within Sasuke's body. Looking up she nodded at the Nin's and they began to pour their healing energy into her. Feeling her strength return she began to murmur a chant as she started pulling the blob from Sasuke's body. She felt him stiffen beneath her hand and she knew that the pain he was feeling was becoming unbearable. Her lips tightened and she continued to pull the horrid thing from his body. As the blob became visible Sasuke screamed in pain and she had to use some of her chakra to keep him still which weakened her even more. Grimacing she quickly pulled the rest of the blob out and gave it to Hinata's waiting hands. Turning back to Sasuke, Sakura dove back into his body and made her way throughout his body making sure no trace of the curse seal remained. When she was satisfied she returned to her body and let her hand fall from his shoulder. Before she had let her hand fall though, she poured the last of her chakra to put the Uchiha to sleep and after that she collapsed only a sliver of chakra left that was barely keeping her alive and functioning.
