Picking up Sasuke
Naruto Story [Number of Chapters Undecided]
Pairings- SasukexSakura, Small hints of NarutoxHinata, TentenxNeji, and ShikamaruxIno
Summary: Sasuke never REALLY knew the meaning of crazy until he met his new pink-haired, green-eyed, and not to mention irresistibly alluring secretary.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, then Itachi and Kakashi would be all mine, not to mention the total Ninja fight thing would be turned into a cliche shoujo
.:. .:. .:. Sakura .:. .:. .:.
A woman whipped off her shades as she stopped in front of a huge building.
A huge building known as Uchiha Corps.
Hand on her hips; the woman's pastel-colored hair blew gently in the breeze as she messily ran her slender fingers through it using her free hand. Her emerald eyes glittered mischievously as she eyed the building critically.
"Looks like this will be fun," the woman murmured to herself, and with a playful grin pasted on her face, strode into the awaiting doors.
.:. .:. .:. Sasuke .:. .:. .:.
"Come on Sasuke-teme, lighten up will you? Sakura's going to be here any second, and she's perfect for this job. So stop looking like you have a 5-foot pole stuck up your ass. Well you know, another one." Naruto somehow managed to grin at his boss, noodles half-chewed dangling out of his mouth and back into his ramen bowl while he messily attempted to slurp them back up.
Sasuke snorted, for two reasons in particular. Naruto was too dumb for his own good, and Sasuke didn't know how in the world someone so stupid could become his 'best friend'. And two, because anyone related to the dobe could never be 'perfect' for the job as his secretary. 'She's probably another annoying fangirl. Possibly more annoying than the rest considering she's the dobe's cousin' Sasuke mentally groaned at the thought. Two Narutos? Oh, kill him now. Why he agreed when Naruto asked, the world may never know.
.:. .:. .:. Flashback .:. .:. .:.
"You're fired," the Uchiha boss coldly dismissed his secre- now ex-secretary. A layer of emotionless ebony glazed his endless onyx eyes, hiding the silent fury he felt. The woman gasped in shock and, without hesitation, harshly slapped Sasuke in the face.
Not even flinching, Uchiha Sasuke intensified the iciness of his glare at the girl, and she inevitably shivered in fright. The woman turned on her heel, trying not to let her fear show through, and scurried through the door, belongings in hand.
"You can come out now dobe." Sasuke didn't spare a glance in Naruto's direction as the latter sheepishly crawled out from his hiding spot under the desk.
Uzamaki Naruto wordlessly opened the door and walled out of the room. There was a short period of silence, in which Sasuke relished and took the time to assess the damage. He examined his bruised cheek in the mirror, and grimaced as he saw how badly the slap had hurt him.
His wound was steadily turning a scorching red, and Sasuke knew the sight wasn't going to be pretty for the next few days. Karin was either extremely brave, or extremely stupid for doing what she did. And when you were extremely brave, you were also usually extremely stupid.
That damned woman had used her viciously sharp nails to scratch his flesh, leaving 4 long jagged lines in place. What a bitch.
Sasuke, turning away from his bruised reflection, glanced at the door as it swung open and sighed when he spotted Naruto stepping in holding a bad of dry ice. The sigh was his way of showing thanks to Naruto-dobe.
As the whisker-faced man handed Sasuke the freezing ice baggy, his only comment was "what'd you do this time teme?"
"You of all people should know what happened, dobe—you were in the same room," Sasuke all but growled as he pressed the chilly ice pack to his searing cheek. Relief instantly washed over him.
"Wish I could say yes, Sasuke-teme, but I couldn't see or hear a thing you guys said."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. Figures. Only the dobe was dumb enough to sit under the desk but not pay attention to the conversation he was supposedly eavesdropping on. "I fired her" the ebony-haired male replied simply.
"Why? This is the 4th this week. If this goes on any longer, you're going to hold the record for 'most-fired-secretaries-in-a-week'." Naruto exchanged a skeptical look with the Uchiha, who managed a non-committal shrug before turning away.
"Dobe, you know why I fire them."
"Well, you know, it's not their fault they want to get in your pants. You're Uchiha Sasuke. The Uchiha Sasuke. Teme, if you didn't know, you're the hottest bachelor in the market. Hell, if I was a girl I'd go for you myself." Naruto paused briefly as he digested what he just said. "Wait no, that came out wrong..."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. Of course he knew all that information, but who said he wanted to be The Uchiha Sasuke? No one had ever asked what he wanted before. They never asked him if he wanted to be a multi-millionaire. They never asked him whether or not he wanted fangirls stalking his every move. Which, by the way, he didn't. His life was planned out the day—maybe even before—he was born. It was fate. Oh man, he was seriously starting to sound like Neji. He made a mental reminder to stop hanging out with that guy for a while.
Naruto ticked off on his fingers. "Okay, first was Ami Yumiko, and I get that much. That girl was a goner the moment she stepped in." Naruto shook his head in what could almost be called sympathy. "Tch, never filed a paper in her life and man, she was all over you. Made sure to hike up her skirt extra high just for you. Sure, you might not have bat an eyelash at the sight, but I'm pretty sure every other guy had a hard-on for her.
"And then there was Ino," Naruto went on, holding up 2 digits in a peace sign. "Well, I talked to her. Pretty nice, just a bit pig-like. And it's not like she was totally in love with you, teme. Probably just infatuation, though, because I caught her staring at Pineapple Head more than once. I think she's going to make her move soon, so even if you fired her you'll probably see her again."
"Next was Tenten. Hmm, never actually knew her last name. Actually teme, I kind of liked that chick. Only as a friend of course. She was hardworking, and probably the only girl in the world that wasn't in love with you. Besides my precious Hinata, that is. So teme, why'd you fire her? Sasuke-teme? Teme?"
Sasuke had tried to block out Naruto's annoying voice, but it was futile, although closing his eyes helped ease the pain. That boy talked a mile a minute! The Uchiha shivered in memory as he answered. "Hn. She was way too violent. Not to me, of course, but I've heard more than one complaint from multiple employees. I heard that a couple of them were in critical condition in the hospital. So I didn't want to have a reputation of having a killer employee. And besides, I see the way she acts sound the Hyuuga. Yamanaka's not the only one in love." It hurt Sasuke's head to talk this much, and Naruto's rambling didn't help to soothe the pain. Quite the opposite, actually.
Naruto grinned as if he understood everything, but Sasuke was sure he didn't understand half the things that were said. "Love is in the air, ne Sasuke-teme? And you're next," Naruto wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at the mentally disturbed Sasuke. "So, anyways, why'd you fire Karin? The way you did it was cold, even for an ice block like you."
The man in question groaned, reluctant to answer. Oh how he wished Naruto would just stop talking. Besides, the memory of what happened was too scarring. Nevertheless, onyx-eyed man recalled his nightmares in order to satisfy Naruto's endless curiosity.
.:. .:. .:. Flashback In a Flashback .:. .:. .:.
"Oh Sasuke-kun," Karin purred as she walked into the office. "I've brought you those papers you asked for."
Sasuke, wearing his reading glasses, nodded absently and jerked his head sharply towards the desk. "Put them there," he ordered, and she complied with a sluttish pout. [a/N is that even possible? x3]
Once she finished her job, he glanced briefly at the pile of work before grunting a stiff sounding "dismissed." Karin scrunched her nose, and instead of walking through the open door, closed it firmly. The tight click coming from the door confirmed that the door was indeed locked.
Sasuke gave Karin a pointed look from beneath his glasses and spun around to face her. "What is the meaning of t-"
He never finished his question.
While Sasuke was busy spouting—in her opinion—nonsense words, Karin pounced on his unsuspecting form and firmly latched herself onto him. She crushed her awaiting lips to his, and smirked when she felt Sasuke go still. Mistaking it as a sign to continue, Karin slowly, unwillingly, detached her swollen lips and looked onto her boss's eyes to gauge his reaction.
All she got was a face full of shock. Not realizing anger was slowly beginning to bleed onto his features, Karin continued her ministrations.
Settling herself in a more comfortable position, she took a moment to situate herself. And by a comfortable position I meant practically lap dancing on Sasuke, with their pelvises rubbing together.
Gazing seductively at his coal orbs, Karin frowned when she realized what was bothering her. She bent down ever so slowly to eye-level with the sitting Sasuke, and placed her well-manicured hands onto his black-frame glasses.
"These need to go," Karin breathed into Sasuke's ear shell, and carelessly removed the spectacles from his unmarred face.
Unluckily for her, her action triggered Sasuke to return to the present and take action.
With a harsh sweep, Sasuke brushed Karin's hand off his face. The enraged man stood up abruptly, causing the slut on his lap to ungracefully fall off his lap and onto the unforgiving floor in a heap.
"Whaa...?" Karin looked up at Sasuke, bewildered. How dare he! He was supposed to succumb to her, like every other man did!
"Get out," Sasuke's icy voice cut through the thick silence like a knife cutting through whip cream. His calm and silent command was more frightening than if he had roared it out, and Karin felt tremors tumble down her body.
Hastily, the woman stumbled to her feet and brush off her skirt, smoothening out the creases that were made when she fell. "B-but Sasuke-kun! I t-thought we had something! Didn't you-"
"You're fired," the Uchiha coldly dismissed his secre- now ex-secretary.
.:. .:. .:. End of Flashback In a Flashback .:. .:. .:.
"Well, I never knew she had it in her," Naruto replied truthfully as he watched Sasuke collapse on the black leather couch. Sure, Naruto knew that Karin was a slut—did you see what she wore to work—but he never expected it to be this extreme.
A few moments of silence past, where Naruto started fidgeting. He wasn't very used to silences. Well, maybe he was used to them, considering he was best friends with the teme, who was practically like a rock. But that isn't mean he had to like them.
"So, what now Sasuke-teme? You can't keep hiring and then firing your secretaries! If you keep it up like this, then in a few months you'd have gone through the entire world!" Naruto ranted on and on as be imagined the outcomes.
"Hn." Sasuke grunted, not particularly caring. Although he didn't like being an Uchiha, it had its uses. With a flick of a hand, Sasuke could have hundreds of eligible women trying to qualify as his secretary.
"C'mon teme. If you're going to run a successful business, you need to find a solid secretary and stick with them," Naruto lectured wisely. [a/N Naruto being wise? I think I just saw a pig fly outside my window O.o]
Sasuke made a disbelieving noise in the back of his throat. "That's rich coming from a dobe like you."
"Thanks teme. It is, isn't it?... Hey, wait. What did you just say? That was an insult wasn't it!" Naruto backtracked as he processed the comment. The man furrowed his eyebrows together, trying to answer his own question.
Sasuke gave him a look as if to say, 'don't think too hard. You might hurt yourself.' Then, he made a thoughtful look and added, 'then again, why would I ever care if you hurt yourself or not?'
Giving up, Naruto stood there quietly. But we all know how bad he is at being quiet and still. Seconds layer, Naruto's leg was jubilantly bouncing up and down, and he was tapping his knee impatiently. Suddenly, "Teme, I just thought of a brilliant idea."
"This ought to be good..."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow when he found Naruto pouting childishly. "Pshh, teme, When have I ever been wrong?" Naruto insisted, but stopped short when he heard Sasuke's disbelieving snort. "Just trust me on this."
"Hn."
And like that, the egg was hatched. The bomb was set. Whatever you want to call it.
.:. .:. .:. End ofFlashback .:. .:. .:.
"Well anyways, I think she's almost here teme."
"Hn," Sasuke mumbled, apparently too cool to say the words, 'and how would you know that Naruto-dobe? You can't even tell time.' Inwardly, though, Sasuke's mind was in a wreck. She was almost here. Oh God, please kill him now.
.:. .:. .:. Sakura .:. .:. .:.
Looks were thrown here and there as eyes landed on the newcomer who was barging in like she owned the place. Sure it made her seem like a haughty bitch the way she walked in, but for some reason people couldn't take their eyes off her. The woman had a special glow about her that just attracted you to her. She wasn't drop-dead gorgeous, but she held a classic type of beauty. And who could forget those mysterious jade eyes that seemed to look through you, as well as that luscious rosette hair? That generous body?
.:. .:. .:. Sasuke .:. .:. .:.
"Well, teme, if you insist on knowing, I'll tell you how I know." Naruto shrugged. "I can tell because…because my Sakura-senses are tingling." Naruto shot Sasuke an of-course-why-else look.
.:. .:. .:. Sakura .:. .:. .:.
With multiple pairs of eyes watching her, the woman trotted off towards the elevator doors. She was either extremely oblivious to the stares, or really good at ignoring holes being bored into the back of her petite head.
The elevator dinged, and the lady's heels clacked as she stepped inside.
.:. .:. .:. Sasuke .:. .:. .:.
Sasuke made a strangled noise, as if trying not to laugh. "Yeah sure. Whatever." he snorted. Tch, Sakura-senses. How absurd.
.:. .:. .:. Sakura .:. .:. .:.
The elevator ride was alone and quiet, and the woman was grateful for that. She really needed to calm down before she met this Unicha guy—whatever he's called— Naruto had been talking about. Apparently, he was her new boss or something.
After what seemed like too short of a ride, the ride flew to a stop, and the automatic doors slid open. She stepped outside.
.:. .:. .:. Sasuke .:. .:. .:.
"Whatever teme," Naruto blew a raspberry face to his best friend. "You're just jealous of my awesome superpowers."
"Hn."
.:. .:. .:. Sakura .:. .:. .:.
She took a deep breath to calm her nerves. Hey, even though she played it cool, it didn't mean she wasn't nervous.
So, without knocking, Haruno Sakura, secretary of Uchiha Sasuke, began her new life.
[a/N So, how was it? Hmm, it was going to be a one-shot, but I thought that it would be too long, so I changed my mind. It's probably going to be changed into a 3 or 4, maybe even 5-shot]
