The Fire Between Them

.

1.

Don’t play with the fire, they said.

Sakura didn’t listen. She had a selective
hearing like that when it came to ninja rules. She could recite them backwards
without a single stammer, but abiding them was another story.

When Team Seven was making camp, everyone
had their assigned tasks to complete. Sakura usually gathered the firewood,
then she and Sasuke arranged it together and he lit the fire. She was utterly
fascinated with his every gesture as he made the correct handseals, took in a
gulp of breath and released it with a moderate flame and a puff of smoke. There
was something reverent and contemplative in the way Sasuke looked then, as if
he was performing a sacred ritual only he knew about. It was entirely possible
with him being the last of his clan, but Sakura wouldn’t ask, too afraid to
bring up bad memories for him just to satisfy her petty curiosity.

Nevertheless, she loved to watch him when he
started the fire. He stood over it like a guardian deity, a thoughtful frown on
his handsome features. The warm orange glow cast on his face made him look as
if he was also made from the flames. A being of pure fire couldn’t be burned,
no matter how close he stood to the blaze.

title: You are Amazing

summary: Spider-Man -ish AU. She’s going home late at night when some bad guys cross her path. She’s outnumbered, the rain is pouring over them and there’s no way out of that mess. Thankfully, Konoha’s most amazing super-hero won’t let anything bad happen to her.

a/n: Happy SasuSaku month, you guys! I know I’m already late, but as always, I’ll do my best to write a fic for all the amazing themes of this year’s event! So, about this story, I just LOVE Spider-man! He’s my favorited super-hero from the Marvel universe and I really loved writing this story! I had to watch a certain scene more times than I should, and I hope I was able to describe it the way I wanted to! I hope you enjoy it, and please, tell me what you think!
Also, this story is unbeta-ed, because my amazing friend is a bit busy now and I don’t want o give her more trouble, so… Go easy on me, guys.

“ Good night, Haruno-san! Be careful on your way home!”

“ Good night, Kotetsu-san! I’ll see you tomorrow!”

She waved goodbye at the security guard, offering him a sympathetic smile as she finally crossed the gates of the medicine building. It was almost 11pm now, and more than anyone, Sakura was aware that it was already quite late for a girl to walk around all alone around the campus. In fact, she had been aware of the clock for the last couple of hours, but couldn’t find it in herself to leave the anatomy lab in a decent time. Just one more paragraph, she would say, turning the pages to start a new chapter.

Sigh, Haruno Sakura really was a lost case when it came to her studies.

She ran a hand through her pink locks as she walked towards her dorm, speeding up her pace for obvious reasons. Half a block later, she felt a drop of rain falling on her head and cursed herself for ignoring the weather cast and not bringing an umbrella. If anything, the med student seemed to be more concerned about getting home soaked than about a chance encounter with a bad guy or two.

For she’s lived her entire life in a small town where nothing bad really happened, Sakura was never afraid of walking home alone at night. It was quite relaxing, in fact, and now that she was in a big city such as Konoha, things were no different in her head. It’s a safe campus, she thought. The people who lived there were mostly her fellow students, and with the exams coming, none of them had time to abduct girls in the middle of the night.

No, there was no reason why she should be afraid. People are usually more afraid about those things than it’s actually necessary, and besides, she’s never been a damsel in distress that couldn’t handle herself. As long as there were no guns involved, she was pretty confident her karate lessons would come in handy.

She would definitely be fine, she thought. Just three more blocks and she would be home.

There was really no need to be paranoid.

Or that was what she wanted to believe in until she realized she was being followed.

Prompt: Burn, Sasusaku month 2018, Day 4

Summary: At this moment he couldn’t give her his name, but he could give her this. (Sasuke teaches Sakura Katon)

“Err Sasuke-kun.” Sakura says tilting her head towards him, her green eyes wide and clear,“Are you sure you want to stand so close?”

“Hn.” Sasuke says,“Go ahead.”

“Oh okay.” Sakura takes a deep breath in, clearly nervous.

They were currently standing on the dock by the lake, side by side. The place held a lot of significance to Sasuke and perhaps it was why he’d chosen to teach her his clans signature jutsu in the same place his father had taught him.

A/N: A day late, but here it is. This is a continuation of day 2. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy it! Day 2 (and part 1) here.  


“You’re the first person he came to see and you still didn’t jump his bones?” Ino asked confused. She tilted her head and smirked at the immediate blush on her best friend’s cheeks.

“Ino, please!” Sakura covered her tomato-colored cheeks with her hands and hoped the floor would swallow her whole.

“What?” She smiled coyly. “Tell me it’s a lie then. Tell me you do not have the hots for Uchiha.”

Sakura groaned and smacked her head on the counter. “Say it louder, why don’t you? I don’t think all your customers heard.”

“Pish posh,” Ino waved her off and went to ring up a customer.

Sakura sighed as she tried to compose herself. It’s been three days since he had shown up in her balcony, while she had been sleeping no less, and woken her up to announce that he was home. The way he had caressed her cheek so tenderly and moved around her was a side that she had never seen. His gaze had always been intense since they were kids, but there was something else in those eyes. Something more she couldn’t decipher. Something that made her insides flutter like a million butterflies and her heart thunder in her chest until it felt like it’s going to spring from its cage. It made her feel like she was that lovesick schoolgirl all over again, but at the same time a new and foreign warmth spread over her. She chalked it up to hormones, but there was something there. It was thrilling and exciting and scary and… and she didn’t know how to handle it, quite honestly. Her body hummed with a nervous and restless energy she just couldn’t get rid of.

Mismatched orbs took in the sight of rain that started to fall. In a small village tucked in a forest, Sasuke allowed himself the luxury of relaxing in a quaint teahouse. He liked the tranquility for he was the only customer there in a lazy Saturday afternoon. The tea and the fireplace brought the much needed warmth in the cold weather. The owner, an elderly woman living with her grandchildren, gave him a spare blanket as well. Junko-baa still thinks she owe the raven haired lad a lot. Despite the long time that passed, the villagers still felt in debt to him after saving them.

Suddenly he felt a chakra signature rushing towards the direction of the teahouse, seeking shelter from the downpour. He didn’t even have to look to know who it was.

He could recognize her anywhere.

She took off her coat and ran a hand through her slightly damp pink locks. She shivered a little bit and just as she stepped foot inside the teahouse, she immediately stilled. Her eyes scanned the place upon feeling an all too familiar chakra despite being muted, and finally landed on the sole customer, surprised emeralds meeting content onyx and amethyst
