Fire Flowers (SasuSaku) Naruto Fanfiction

At The Town.

Slowly opening my eyes I feel the presence of someone else laying next to me, looking down I see pink messy hair of a sleeping beauty, remembering everything that happened last night I pull away looking at her face, it's pale colored with a red tent to her cheeks and nose.

'Yup she's sick.'  I sigh and say in my head.  

Standing up I slide off my clothes I slept in and put on my uniform without the armor and the mask, not take my eyes off Sakuras sleeping ones to make sure she don't wake up and see me getting dressed.  Stepping out of the tent; it's chilly so I switch out my shirt for a long sleeve one.  I take out Sakura's belongings from her tent and take it down so when she wakes up she can get dressed and we can leave to the small hotel she was told she would be staying in.  I hear a small sneeze from the tent.  Unzipping the door I toss in the bags looking at Sakura.  

"Get dressed and put my clothes back into my bag."  I say walking away.  A few minutes pass and I hear the tent open.

"Sasuke... thanks for waking me up last night."  She says walking out.  I could hear the stuffiness in her voice.

I nod at her and walk to the tent so I could pack up my stuff and take it down. 

"So next we're off to the hotel?"  I hear her ask from behind me.

"Mhmm."  I say back knowing she knows where we're going but just wants to make conversation.

Once the tent and my stuff was all packed up I started to walk towards the direction of the hotel as Sakura slowly trailed tiredly behind me.  Sighing, I wish I could help her out a little bit but I don't want her to get the wrong idea... or maybe I do?  Should I tell her I've been in love with her ever since the academy days? Should I do it now, later, after we get back from this mission?  I keep asking myself questions and before I knew it, we were already in a small town with the hotel we're staying in, a food shop, a clothing store, and a bar.  Running in the middle of it was a small gravel road.  I looked around a bit, you could see everything anywhere you went, you could tell everyone knew each other and they didn't get many people passing by, there wasn't many people there that I could see, they must be in the buildings, there was only grown men outside.  As Sakura and I make our way the hotel, everyone's eyes were on us but as I look closely they went on us but just Sakura.  I peer behind me to see why, she was in her normal uniform, she looked fine, why were they looking at her?  Then it dawned on me.

'She's a girl, a beautiful girl.  Obviously they would be looking at her, they probably don't see many women around here.'

"Sasuke?"  I snap out of though.  "What are you doing?"  I look at her with a questionable look then realize I was staring at her that whole time.  Thinking of an excuse for something to say I just go with the truth.

"Everyone is looking at you and I wanted to see why."  I say looking back in front of me as I open the lobby door of the hotel.

 "Hm?"  I could her the question in her voice.  She looks around and walks into the hotel up to the old man standing behind the desk.

"Hello."  He waves.  "You mush be Sakura from the Hidden Leaf?"

"I am."  She reply's.

"And who might this be?"  He looks at me.

"That is Sasuke, he came along with me and I was hoping you can get me another single room or a room with two beds?"

"Mmmm, let me look."  He grabs a book from the bookshelf and flips throw the pages sliding his finger down each page.  "I'm sorry Miss but looks like all rooms are filled tonight, one of our locals has his son here and you and him took the only two rooms that are ever open, would you like me to kick him out?" 

"No, it's fine."  I say walking over to him and Sakura with my hands in my pockets.  "Can we just get the key?" I ask.

"Sure thing sir."  He says sliding the room key on the desk.

"Thank you."  Sakura says picking the key up.  She turns to me. "Room 12."  

I nod and start walking to hall 2 looking for room 12.  Finding it I put the key in the door and open it, to my surprise the door wouldn't open all the way, I look at Sakura as she tries to push it open, nothing.  

"Let me slide in."  Sakura says.  With that she slides her small body in the crack of the half open door.  "Somehow the dresser is slid way over here."  She pushes the dresser back against the wall and the door opens all the way.  I look in the room, it's very small.  The queen size bed is pushed against the wall into the corner of the room, there is maybe half of a foot between the bed and the dresser, I'm not even sure if you can open the dresser doors. The bathroom takes up a lot of room space, but it is still very small. (Okay very bad at trying to tell you how small the room is, lets just say you can't even walk in the room, you take two steps in and there is the bed, really hope you understand.)

Sakura sets her bags on the dresser and sits on the bed.  "This is way smaller then I thought it would be."

"Yeah..."  I sigh setting my bags next to hers.  "I was going to sleep on the chair if they had one or maybe the floor but they don't even have that."  I say looking at the small space I'm stepping in.

She smiled and looked down.  "Well it's going to be dark in a few hours so I'm going to go explore around and grab something to eat."

"Same as I."

Sakura stands and takes a step forwards.  "Um Sasuke, I need to get past you..."

I step to the side against the dresser,  Sakura slides in the small space between the wall and myself, I look up at the ceiling as she goes past.  

"See you later."  She says looking back into the room before shutting the door.

I don't take my gaze off the ceiling for two minutes after she leaves.  Letting out a long sigh, loosing my tense shoulders, I flop on the bed in deep thought on what I should do with these new feelings I've never felt before.  They make me feel the weakest I have ever felt in my life.  What do I do? What could I do? 

I sit back up and look out the one small window that room has and look over to the bar, six men around that ages of 35+ stand outside the doors smoking and talking.  'They should make food there.'  I say in my head and start for the door to walk over there.
