Sinfully Delicious

"Hmmm, da daaaa. There Inferno, I think your coat looks exceptionally glossy today don't you think?"

The horse neighed in response.

"Haha. Well off I go. Here's an apple." A pink haired maiden handed the palomino horse an apple. The horse took it greedily.

The girl took off to the direction of her home in the village not too far from the Uchiha castle she was currently working at. Her name is Sakura Haruno. She's 14 years old and has been working for the high class Uchiha's since she was six. Her job is to take care of their purebred horses. Feeding, grooming etc. But she's not the only one, that would be much too hard for a girl of her age to take care of 84 horses. No, she only takes care of 21 horses. The rest are left to her friend's she works with. You still think that is a bit much, no? Well, needless to say she loves what she does. She loves horses and working for the Uchiha's is the only way she can close to one. Her family is too poor to afford one.

Her family is lower class. They work their butt's off during the day just to afford enough food for a day. Sakura is practically their only hope in surviving. Her father was working on their farm for some time, but he soon fell ill. He is still ill and has no sign in recovering soon. Her mother has to stay home and tend to her husband and the house.

Sakura only got the job she has now because when she was six, Sasuke Uchiha, the youngest of the Uchihas, found her grooming all of their horses for no apparent reason.

"Who are you and what are you doing to our horses?" He had asked.

"I-I um…My name is Sakura Haruno and I was just tending to them because their coats weren't shining the way I thought they s-should…" she delicately told him.

"Um, I shall leave now if I am bothering you, my league." She whispered. She turned around about to take off, but Sasuke held her arm, forcing her to stay.

"Let's just see how well of a job you did of the three horses you already groomed." He smiled. She blushed from his kindness.

"Hm… Very nice job. Especially on Inferno. He's my favorite. I'm going to make him my horse when I become a knight." He told her.

"T-thank you." She blushed even harder. "I hope you do get him when you become a knight. I-I think you s-shall be a g-great knight."

"You really think so?"

"Yes."

Sakura made her way into her home along with a handful of flowers in her hand.

"Mother father, I am home!" She shouted.

"Sakura, your dear father is sleeping. Try and keep your voice down." Her mother came in whispering.

"Opps. Sorry." She whispered.

"It's okay. Are those flowers for your father?"

"Yes ma'am. Here, can you put theses in the case beside his bed, I don't want to wake him." She handed her mother the yellow flowers she picked on the side of the dirt road.

"Your father shall be grateful." Her mother smiled.

"I think I shall be off to bed now. I want to get an early start tomorrow on the horses." Sakura said yawning.

"Good night dear." Her mother said leaving the room.

Sakura entered her small room and fell on the bed. Sleep engulfed her as soon as her head hit the feather pillow.

"Morning mother! I'm off to tend the horses for Lord Uchiha! I already made breakfast for you and father." Sakura said as her mother entered the room.

"Hm? Oh well thank you dear. You be careful now, and take extra good care of the horses." Mrs. Haruno said. She gave her daughter a kiss on her forehead.

"I will mom."

Sakura made her way down the dirt road to the Uchiha's glorious castle and stables. She observed the beautiful flowers along the road till she reached the front gates to the castle.

"Name and purpose." A deep voice shouted down from atop of the gates.

"Sakura Haruno, horse caretaker." She stated.

Just then, the gates opened leading to a beautiful yard that had wonderfully grown flowers and roses. Sakura was always taken aback when she saw this wonderful sight. No matter how many times she would see it, the gardens would never cease to amaze her.

She made her way down to the stables to start her handy work when she was stopped by a dark figure on her favorite horse, Inferno.

The horse neighed at her in greeting.

"Hello, Ms. Sakura Haruno." The dark figure said.

"Hello Sasuke-kun." She said kindly.

"Heh, I'm so glad you're the only one that doesn't call me "lord". It bugs the crap out of me when people call me that." Sasuke stated while leaping off his horse to properly greet the girl. She giggled at his childish antics.

He gently grabbed her hand and kissed it. She blushed at this. She is always surprised when he, someone as high-stature as him, would be so kind to a low class girl as herself.

"P-please, Sasuke-kun. I must be off to the stables." She stammered.

"I shall go with you."He grinned.

"Very w-well."

He grinned at her sudden embarrassment.

"OI, SAKURA-CHAN!" A voice called as they made their way into the stables.

"Hi, Naruto-san." She greeted.

"Have you heard- OH. Hello lord Sasuke." He grimaced at the last of his words.

"Hey Naruto." Sasuke commented.

Sakura sighed at their rivalry. Naruto doesn't have anything against the Uchiha, but doesn't really like seeing Sakura and him together. He had a slight crush on her and he was afraid her heart would fall in love with him.

"Have I heard what Naruto-san?" Sakura questioned.

"Never mind. Sasuke will probably tell you later. Um, I'm going to tend to the other horses now." He said and ran off in the other direction.

"Well that was unkindly of him." Sakura said offended.

"Hmph. He thinks you're falling in love with me so he's jealous." Sasuke commented.

"Ha! What an uncanny idea. Why would I do that?" She said.

"Why? What's wrong with me?" He asked leading his horse into it's proper stable.

Sakura realized what she just said and covered her mouth.

"S-sorry. I didn't mean to offend." She said.

"It's okay. But you didn't answer my question."

"What was it?"

"What's wrong with me? Why would you not fall in love with me?" He asked her. Slowly closing the gap between their bodies.

"Um, I-I um, I d-don't know." She stammered. She began blushing violently while his body inched closer to hers.

"So, what your saying is that you have already fallen in love with me but refuse to admit it?" He asked. His head inched closer to hers.

"Um…" She didn't get a chance to answer. His lips were already on hers. His arms began to snake around her slim waist. Her arms unknowingly began to wrap around his neck. He broke the kiss for a brief second and put his forehead on hers and smiled. Then began kissing her again. She closed her eyes. Absorbing the rich moment. His tongue licked her bottom lip, begging for entrance. She gave in immediately. His tongue began exploring every square inch of her mouth until he heard his named being called.

"SASUKE!" A voice shouted.

Sasuke growled at the interruption and broke the kiss. He looked into Sakura's green orbs, they pleaded for more intimacy between him and her.

He smiled sweetly and kissed her again then left the stables.

Sakura stood there. What her and Sasuke just did, slapping her in the face.

"Oh my god." She exclaimed putting her hand to her mouth.

'I can't believe we just… Wow… Does he want me? NO. He couldn't want me of all the fair maidens he could chose from… Could he?'

Sakura was interrupted from her thoughts when she heard her name being shrieked.

"SAKURA!!" Ino yelled at her from the opposite horse stall.

"Ino!" Sakura exclaimed. "Did you, um…"

"Yep! I saw it all! You got a lovely boy there ya know?" She said happily.

"Um, he doesn't really want me-"

"Are you kidding? Of course he does! Why wouldn't he? I mean, your pretty with your long pick hair, nice, smart and what guy does not look at you when you walk by?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"God you are so dense. I guess you are use to the looks being thrown at you, you don't even notice anymore."

"Oh… Yea I guess."

"Lord Sasuke is just another one of the guys who is interested in you, and luckily for him, YOU WANT HIS SEXY ASS."

"INO!"

"What am I wrong?"

Sakura sighed. She knew Ino knew her all too well.
