Hello everyone! Here is a new short from me. I plan on making this either 2 or 3 chapters long. Something short and sweet to get me back into writing.

Here's the usual statement: I do not own Naruto in any way shape or form.

Please leave a review and tell me how I did.

Enjoy!

EDIT 6/4/2012: Wow you would think that English was not my first language or in fact my only! I just fixed the many typing errors and restructured some sentences to help the writing flow a bit more smooth. No major plot changes.

"He's crazy! Thinking that he can just walk back in here and ask for whatever he wants. Bah, well screw him. I have not worked my ass off, to just spend the rest of my life popping his babies out. Getting all fat and saggy. Ugh, and to think that he would assume I wouldn't know that he's asked every available kunoichi in Konoha. He even asked you."

"Well Sakura, to be honest, he didn't know that I was seeing Shikamaru"

"That's besides the point Ino, he's such a... a douche. Oh don't look at me like that, you know it's true."

"He was just trying to cover all his bases. You know that he really..."

"Oh don't even go there, Ino. He does not harbor some repressed desire to have me and only me. It's like he's trying to create his own harem. I mean if you look at it logically he can have more bang for his... well, you know." She points at her crotch to get her point across. "Can you imagine him telling his little hatch-lings his clan history? 'Well little progeny of mine, daddy was the only one left of the almighty Uchiha clan. He had to find all your mommies, so he could make the clan big and strong again.' God knows he's got enough money to support loads of emotionally constipated brats."

While stifling a laugh behind her hand, Ino managed to sputter, "Gosh forehead, you really do still like him." Ino slowly watched as Sakura's face turned from one of contemplation to total disgust. "Yea, you've got it bad."

Sakura slammed her fist down on the bar and spat, "What? No, not at all." Taking a deep breath she continued, "I meant it when I said that I was over him. He is nothing more than a teammate. To call him an acquaintance is pushing it."

"Well I know that you are no blushing virgin" Sakura takes a moment to intensify her glare at Ino. "But, just because you didn't save yourself for him does not mean that you are over him."

"For your information what I feel for him right now is nothing close to those squishy feelings of love."

Laughing whole heartily at her closest friend, Ino thought to herself 'Yea, right.' Then another thought crossed her mind, "So, I never did get your full story about how it happened." Pink eyebrows furrowed in confusion at that comment. Then slowly a light dusting of pink covered her cheeks.

"I don't know what your talking about."

"Oh come on you know." Seeing Sakura look everywhere except at her, only made Ino push the topic further. "Here let me help you remember." A mischievous smile spread across Ino's pale face. "You know, with what happened between you and a certain blond teammate. One, two, oh i don't know how many times. It must have been good if you kept going back. I just don't understand why you stopped if it was so... delicious."

A harsh shade of red had made it across Sakura's face before she could manage to roll her eyes at her best friend. "Do you have to know everything?" Ino only shook her head yes. "For your information it was delicious, but we both decided that our relationship wasn't progressing past rolling in the hay." Ino gave her a decidedly girly giggle for this information. "Man I need a drink. First I've got that jerk face to deal with and now my pushy best friend." Sakura waved the bar tender over to order her and Ino a new round of warm sake.

After a few quiet minutes sipping on their drinks, Ino turned her face serious and glanced at Sakura. "So what are you going to do about it?"

"I don't think that there is anything to do about it. I already gave him an earful of how much I disliked his idea of 'love'. We're teammates and we'll remain that way." Sakura set her cup down and pushed back her stool. "I've gatta get going. I'll see you after I get back from my next mission."

"Oh don't be like that Sakura. I'll lay off the interrogation." Ino said while holding her hands up defensively. Sakura slowly sat back down. "But I do think that you are going to have to do something about it and soon. Otherwise you are either going to end up closing yourself off to him completely or screwing his brains out"

"Ino!" Sakura had flown out of her seat at her statement.

"I'm serious, everyone can see the tension between you two."

"I thought that you said that you were done with this interrogation?"

"Ok, ok." Ino smiled at her. "How about we just enjoy our night on the town. No more boy talk."

Many hours later Sakura was making her way around Konoha, after dumping off the very intoxicated Ino at Shikamaru's house. She herself felt quite inebriated and decided that taking a stroll around Konoha would help leech the alcohol out of her system. As she walked she noticed how different her home town was. After Pein's attack, Konoha had rebuilt itself, but instead of a flat city enclosed by large walls, Konoha was now a large amphitheater shape. In the center of the bowl there was a large fresh water lake with a park surrounding it. The hokage tower had been moved to live on the rock wall that also housed the faces of the past hokages. The rest of the city sprawled out and up the hills surrounding the center lake.

It had been three years since Sasuke had come back. Sakura was twenty two and as Ino had pointed out, no blushing virgin. Although her and Naruto's impassioned nights never turned into a full blown relationship, she still harbored a strong sense of loyalty to him. But it was more in the form of friendship. At the time she did feel like she truly loved Naruto. He had always been there for her and she found herself wanting to say yes to his date proposals. One day she did and before either one of them knew it, they were at it like wild rabbits. She did not lie when she said that it was delicious, but she also noticed that they never made it outside of the bedroom. And just like that, both of them came to the conclusion that they were just friends with benefits. There is no hard feelings between them. Sakura chuckled to herself. Their friendship has actually gotten better. Sakura has even taken it upon herself to push the dense blond toward the hyugga heiress. He still has not gotten it yet though. Sakura let out a soft sigh and contemplated the complexities of Naruto's mind. A small smile spread across her face. "Well" she thought "Maybe it's not Naruto that I need to work on, but the shy vixen."

It was early in the predawn when he awoke. Slowly crawling out of bed, Sasuke went through his morning stretches before he had to head to the hokage tower. Muscles rippled under taught skin as he bent and moved through one stretch after another. Yesterday had been an interesting day for him. He had approached his pink haired teammate and broached the topic of his need for clan heirs. Her reaction was, although close to what he had expected, very entertaining. She had immediately blown up in his face, spouting off such things as him being a bigot and a player. The thought of the whole encounter just made a lazy smirk form on his lush lips.

It was true that he had asked the few available kunoichi to become mothers of his future children. None of them had actually taken an interest to the idea. Out of all of them, Sakura was the only one that was still unattached in some form or another. Hinata was infatuated with the idiot, Ten Ten was obsessed with the girly man Neji, Ino had Shikamaru and well there really was no one else unless he looked at other villages. That would be a difficult task in itself. He was branded a traitor, one who had originally sided with enemy number one. Uchiha Madara. His name was still in the dumps even after his zombie brother had convinced him to side with Naruto.

It had taken him years to just get back in the good graces with Konoha. In the other villages he knew for sure that he was still not welcomed and he may never be. So that left Sakura. She was originally his first choice but he knew that she would not accept him. Since he came back she had kept her distance from him. She still talked to him on missions or when they ran into each other, but she never did seek his attention anymore. It took Sasuke a while to come to terms with her behavior. Though lately he was getting a bit annoyed with her apathy towards him. That's why he decided to ask her to spread her legs and bear his children. Any reaction out of her was better than the nothing that he had been getting. Chuckling to himself he thought, "That was not the best approach, but I don't think I will ever forget the face she made."

Recently Sasuke had come to find that he enjoyed making his female teammate turn a few shades of red. Whether it be from anger, embarrassment, or even lust. He didn't care as long as he saw her stained cheeks. Granted he has not been to successful with inducing her into feeling lust, but he sure as hell has gotten the anger down pat. Turning the anger into lust will only make it that much sweeter when he finally got to possess her. He was not fooling himself, he did feel something for Sakura. Right now if he had to label this feeling, it would be pure unadulterated lust.

Finishing his stretches Sasuke began to dress in his loose black ninja pants and a navy blue yukata top with the Uchiha symbol on the back. As he made his way to the hokage tower he spotted Sakura standing on one of the wooden posts near her house. She was looking out over the city towards the sunrise. There was a bright smile on her face, but before he could approach her to ask her what she was doing up there, Naruto was at the bottom calling her down. Sasuke had noticed that there was a familiarity between Naruto and Sakura that he did not quite understand. She no longer berated him when he did something stupid, but instead he would watch her smile with mirth and genuine affection. They also had no qualms about touching each other. It seemed to Sasuke that they were always touching in some form or other. Sasuke decided then and there that he had to find out what was or had gone on between the two of them.

Sasuke could over hear them as he walked closer. "Oi Sakura-chan" bellowed Naruto. "When are you going to get down from there?" Sakura took a moment longer to gaze at the sunrise before she descended down the pole. Only to be enveloped in a rather lengthy hug by Naruto. "Sakura-chan, do you want to get some breakfast before we head to meet the hokage?" Tinkling laughter reached Sasuke's ears. "Don't worry it's my treat." Naruto looked over at the approaching dark haired avenger and added, "or better yet we can get Sasuke to pay for us."

At this point Sakura's face turned from one of laughter, to one devoid of any emotion and she stated flatly, "I don't want to accept anything from Don Juan over there" Naruto let loose a quick chuckle.

"Ok, Sakura-chan we can just go by ourselves, if that's how you feel" With a wolfish grin plastered on his tan face Naruto looked at Sasuke while he said, "This way I can have you all to myself." More laughter bubbled from Sakura as Naruto slid an arm around her waist. Sasuke watched as Naruto led her down the street. Just before they turned the corner Naruto snaked his head towards him and mouthed, "I know you want to be me right now." At that, Sasuke gave him the meanest glare he could muster.

When they all finally made it to the hokage tower, Sasuke was in a fowl mood. By the end of the meeting he was in an even worse one. Team seven was going on a mission. Now normally that wouldn't be a problem, but this one was one that needed them to go undercover. Sakura and Naruto were to pose as newly weds, while Sai and him were to be brothers. They are to meet up with Kakashi in a rather large rock country village. Kakashi has been there in the village for the last couple of weeks gathering Intel. Their target was a man that enjoyed seducing young married women. Sakura was the bait and Sasuke had to watch as the dobe and her played lovey dovey throughout the mission.

Sasuke had asked Tsunade why he wasn't Sakura's "husband", Tsunade had merely laughed at him. She then explained that there would be no way that he could pretend to be a loving husband, and that their target would see right through their ploy. So now here he was flying through the trees while he had that annoying clone named Sai call him nii-san. Sasuke could not wait for this mission to be over with.

After three days of travel, team seven made it to the outskirts of the village in rock country. They waited by an outcropping of granite for Kakashi to show up. "Neh, Kakashi-sensei is always late" sighed Sakura. The trip to the village had been an eventful one. She stopped keeping count of how many times she had to break up the boys' fighting. Sakura swore that if it wasn't for her there would be no way that all three of them would be alive right now. If she had to bet there would be an all out death match with one of them being the bloodied victor. She peered around her to peak at the boys. 'My money is on Naruto' she thought. All three of them are strong, but he's the only one that has never lost a fight.

A wicked smile made it's way to her face. Poor, poor Sasuke-kun. Speaking of that dilweed. There he was staring at her again. They had had a confrontation one night when she was taking over her turn for watch. He had the nerve to make a move on her. She was about to nudge him on his shoulder when he turned around and pinned her to the rock face. Sakura admits that his flimsy excuse of 'thought you were an enemy nin' could be possible. But, the way that he had pressed her against the wall, and the way he had looked at her was like he was a pure sexual predator. She could have ignored it all, but as he slowly released her, his leg that had been situated between her thighs, had rubbed her in such a sensual way. Once Sakura regained her senses, she had shoved him off of her with such force as to push him back ten feet. Sasuke had merely stood there with a devilish smirk. She had tried to forcibly whisper to him to 'never do that again'. His smirk just grew a fraction of an inch before he turned around towards his sleeping mat.

Sakura didn't know what to do about him and frankly maybe she shouldn't do anything but ignore him.

After another hour of waiting Kakashi finally arrived. The silver haired ninja had poofed in with a 'Yo' and his signature two finger solute. "You do realize that this is an A ranked mission sensei, and you still managed to be late. What if we were attacked?" shouted Naruto.

"You're all jounin. If you couldn't handle a few rogue nins after defeating Uchiha Madara, then I think that they would deserve to have defeated you." Kakashi drawled.

Sakura chuckled as she stated, "That's harsh Kakashi-sensei. I thought that you loved us like we were your children?" Kakashi gave a theatrical shiver and playfully ruffled her hair. Kakashi then rummaged through a large bag only to pull out five sets of clothing.

"We need to change into these. Sakura yours is a traditional kimono. Have Naruto help you tie the obi." Sakura nodded her head and started to undress. She felt the ever present Uchiha death glare on her. Peering from under her eye lashes she discovered that Sasuke really was staring at her. Rising to the challenge she tilted her head up, looked him strait in his eyes and started to slowly unzip her red sleeveless top.

Sasuke's eyes widened a fraction before he turned his body to fully face her, while he himself moved his hands to unwind the tie to his yukata. Sakura watched as he nonchalantly opened his navy blue top. He exposed his alabaster chest to her in a methodical manner. His eyes never left hers. Sakura tried to lie to herself and claim that there was nothing special about how his muscles fluctuated under his smooth skin.

Begrudgingly Sakura then admitted to herself that she still found him extremely attractive. It only made her madder when she noticed that he had a knowing smirk on his face, as his hands reached to the drawstring on his black pants. Sakura noted to herself that she was going to get herself in a lot of trouble for this, but as sensually as she could she dragged her top open and down her shoulders. She noticed how Sasuke had paused with his thumbs hooked at the edge of his pants, which earned him a sly smirk from her.

Sakura checked in the corners of her eyes to see what her other teammates were up to. No one else seemed to notice what the two of them were doing. Filled with a bit more confidence, Sakura thumbed the top of her black shorts before trailing them down her milky legs. Never once did she remove her gaze from him, even when she bent over to completely remove her shorts. Through all of this he had yet to move again. So there he stood mouth slightly open and eyes smoldering, while she was only in her tightly woven bindings and silky red underwear. A victorious smile plastered on her face when she called over to Naruto and asked "Could you help me with my bindings?"

Sasuke's face went to complete rage when Naruto told her that he would be over in "just a sec, Sakura-chan." Sakura deliberately turned away from Sauske and faced Naruto. She raised her arms to rest on her head. As Naruto began to unwind her bindings, exposing more and more of her chest. Sakura turned her neck so that she could glimpse Sasuke's reaction. When she made eye contact with him, she gave him a measured wink.

A low growl emanated from deep inside his throat. "What are you doing Dobe?" he barked.

"Oh don't worry about it Emo. It's not like he hasn't seen her breasts before." Sasuke's head swiveled fast at Sai's brash comment. "In fact I read in a book called Definition of Human Urges that what they did was completely normal, and that hormones are what dictate those types of urges." Sasuke clenched his fists, digging his nails deep into his calloused hands. Face set in absolute neutrality, Sasuke set his coal eyes back on Sakura.

"What, you didn't know that Naruto popped my cherry?" Sakura moved her pointer finger and pressed it to the inside of her cheek. She quickly removed it making an unhampered popping noise. Eyes flashed to red and back to deep ebony before Sasuke turned and walked away.

"Don't you think that maybe that was a bit much Sakura-chan?"

Looking back at Naruto, she smiled sweetly and just shook her head no.

Thanks for reading and please please review. It's not hard just press that small little button right down there, jot down a few words and hit send. It will help me a lot. I should have the next chapter up within the week.
