Day Three: Part One

Mei yawned and walked into the hideout. She fell asleep outside again and this time she did not sleepwalk back to the hideout. Her hair looked like there is a family of crows nesting in it. She closed her eyes as another sweet yawn escaped her lips when she bumped into someone. Mei stumbled and fell backwards. Mount Juugo hovered over her with Kuro in his hands. The black cat looked at her not blinking and continued purring for the mountain man.

"Good morning," she got up and rubbed her backside. "So, this is where you have been you little traitor," she smiled at the cat who snobbishly looked away. Mei chuckled. "Wow some friend."

"He likes fish," those were the first words Juugo said to her since she arrived at the hideout. The look of shock on her face was quickly replaced with a smile.

"You've been feeding him fish?"

Juugo nodded with a hint of a guilty look on his face. Mei chuckled.

"Lucky boy," she rubbed Kuro's neck earning louder purrs. "Hold on, where did you get fish?"

Juugo furrowed his eyebrows. "Caught it in the river."

"Hmmm..." Mei tilted her head thinking. "Say, do you have anything to do this morning?"

"No,"

"Want to go to the river with me to catch some fish?"

"No,"

"I will deep fry it,"

Juugo looked at her not blinking. "Okay,"

She did not expect him to agree. "Really?"

Juugo nodded. The girl smiled widely. "I'll be right back," she rushed down the hall to her room, but before she could reach it, she bumped into someone again. "Ouch," she rubbed her nose. Sasuke's cold eyes looked down at her. Their eyes met, but she instantly looked away. "Sorry," and before he could reply she slid past him into her room. Mei hurried to close the door but Sasuke's foot quickly prevented it. He pushed himself into the room forcing her to take a couple of steps back. "You have no boundaries!" Mei exclaimed. After what happened between them, she promised herself that she will limit their contact to the treatment sessions. Sasuke Uchiha confused her. She did not understand what he wanted from her; she did not think he understood what he wanted either.

"About yesterday," Sasuke started.

"No," Mei raised her hand to stop him. "Don't. Just...let's not Sasuke." Mei sighed. "Even I don't know what happened yesterday." She took her comb and started combing the knots out of her hair. "I don't want any more weirdness between us. It is distracting and confusing. So," she smiled as she put her hair up in a high ponytail. "Let's just put up with each other until your treatment is over. Only four days left."

"Are you done?" he asked darkly taking a step closer, but Mei did not see it. Her back was facing him while she quickly changed her tunic to a tight v-neck completely ignoring his presence. The waistband of her loose pants slid to her hip bones, revealing her lower back.

"Yeah, look, I'm sure you agree with me, I..." her tirade was interrupted a pair of strong arms wrapping around her body. Sasuke spun her around and crashed his lips on hers. His grip tightened on her waist as he continued mashing her lips with his. Mei grabbed onto his shoulders attempting to push him away, but Sasuke caught and held them behind her back. He forced his tongue into her mouth, devouring her, savouring her taste. She wriggled in his arms trying to break free. Sasuke walked her into the wall, pressing his body against hers. He nibbled on her bottom lip and sucked it into his mouth. The softness of her lips was driving him crazy. She felt his hair tickle her face and get into her eyes. Sasuke broke the kiss and pressed his forehead to hers.
