I Do Not Own Naruto

Teary Reunions

It had been a year since they had gotten into a rhythm with their relationship. Yes, one whole entire year before their relationship had any sense of rhythm; and after the terrorist scare she had endured; he had sworn to keep her in the loop on everything he was up to. If only to evade her temper again; he had become very good at evading her when she was mad, and they were rarely ever really together. However today was different for some reason, she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different only that her day and her world seemed alright in her eyes. Everything was good today.

Which had her humming to herself after having stopped at the market to pick up the foods she'd need for dinner tonight. Part of her was hoping Sasuke was home, another part of her wasn't getting it's hopes up too much because having them dashed could ruin her day. But no matter, she was humming to herself with her shopping bags in each hand as she tried to figure out why today was such a fabulous day. Not that it really mattered why it was a good day, but still, she was curious what could have her in such a wonderful mood.

Finally she made it to her apartment building and pulled out the key she had in her pocket. So relaxed was she that she hadn't really registered the presence behind her until a hand took her groceries from her. Spinning around Sakura pulled back her fist ready for a fight only to find herself slammed up against the door with a set of hard lips on hers'. Two onyx eyes were staring at her when they pulled away and before she could stop herself she smiled as she threw her arms around him.

"Sasuke!" she grinned against his neck.

"I'm home," he informed her in that matter-of-fact tone which had her kissing the pulse beating in his neck.

"I'm happy you're home, come in!" she ordered as she unlocked her door and dragged him, her groceries and herself into her apartment before he could refuse her or before Naruto could appear to drag him off. She was smiling with delight as she shoved him into a seat at her kitchen table then started bustling around her kitchen to make a light dinner for herself and Sasuke.

"How are you?" she demanded as she started cooking.

"Fine, you?" he asked and she smiled as she served up the light meal she had made. It was quick; instant rice and some vegetables with left over meat in a bowl; not fancy or anything but it was enough to get dinner done.

"I've been having a really good day!" she smiled. "When did you get back?"

"Ten minutes ago, you were in the market," he said calmly as they started eating in silence. It wasn't a heavy or awkward silence, it was a peaceful, companionable silence.

"I'm glad you're home," she whispered and smiled shyly.

She had just finished washing the dishes, but he could still taste her on his lips from when he had kissed her against the front door of her apartment. He wanted to taste her again, which was why he was following her to her tiny kitchen. She was humming, it was some catchy tune which only making him want to do this more.

She gasped when he spun her around, she melted though when he kissed her hard and deep, pulling her close to him as he moved his mouth against hers'. Sakura's arms came around his shoulders as she pulled her tiny frame up, he wrapped his arm under her butt as he put her onto the counter; her legs wrapped securely around his hips and held him tight and close.

"Sasuke," she whispered, he said nothing to her as he kissed her harder and felt her tug at his shirt as she pulled it up his back, he pulled away long enough for her to yank it over his head and toss it, she was grinning in delight. At least until he yanked at her shirt and then she was grumbling with irritation at the barrier which he was pulling at.

Her bra was discarded somewhere between the kitchen and her room, and the rest of the night was full of half-forgotten passions since they hadn't been together since that first night.

There was a scream from her when he slid into her, rocking himself in slowly with how tight she was, he could only chant her name as her nails raked his back and she wrapped around him. It felt divine being in her again that he just held still for a moment until she moved. Then all hope was lost for just savoring the moment as they moved together.

It was later in the night, or earlier the next morning at the coming of dawn when Sakura stirred. She was sleeping comfortably on his chest and he was content for just a moment to enjoy this peace he felt with her. Looking to her nightstand he was startled to see the box of letters there, he smiled a bit to himself when he saw one laying open on her nightstand.

Over the last year his letters had gotten longer and hers' had resumed their normal length and consistent sending. He tried to send her one at least once a week; not because he didn't like writing her but he was on a mission and writing her daily would just be counterproductive. Even she had agreed to this as she accepted a long letter a week with glee.

"Sasuke," she moaned out as she shifted in her sleep, he looked at his pink lover as she moved against him and curled up on her side pressing snuggly against him.

"Love you," she whisperted and his heart stopped for a moment as the world stilled.

"Aa," he replied and kissed her brow; he couldn't say he loved her just yet, but hearing it just now had brought a mist to his eyes as he let himself sleep again.

Thanks for sticking with me this long!

I'm sorry about my outburst a few chapters back, I only want you to know that my life was not great at the time of that outburst and I had been receiving a lot of complaints on this story through PMs and reviews; that's no excuse for the outburst but it is the reason for it. My life was falling apart and it hurt a lot to hear the complaints about chapter lengths or how I was depicting the characters, I am still sorry for the outburst. I'm not sorry for how I created this story, it turned out how it was always going to turn out.
