It wasn't a "problem" per say for Sakura, but just a dilemma of her falling in love with men that would never take any notice of her. She sighed as she thought of her secret love interest. Her former sensei.
This was different than when she had been in love with Sasuke. Hell, her "love" for Sasuke wasn't even love, it was just an obsession. But this feeling she had whenever she wa
"Oh, come on, Sakura, just one kiss."
"No," Sakura sighed, pushing gently at his chest, trying unsuccessfully to free herself discreetly from his arms, trapping her against the wall.
"One kiss, that's all I ask. And if I don't blow your mind with that one kiss, I'll leave you alone," Sasuke pleaded, his intoxicated state making him beg, for if he was in a clear-minded and alcoholic-free state, Sasuke would never beg, Sakura knew.
