Life is a b*tch, so I just can't finish this title.

Chapter: #1 Call Me seven pounds later, kay?

Pairing: SasuSaku

Description: Summer is amazingly fun because it gives you a chance to branch out, grow up, and meet a certain stuck up Uchiha but only because of certain circumstances. Like maybe because of that really creepy guy looking at you? ~ OBBY.

Author's Note: T for minor language and there may be some slight oocness. Basic descriptions will change as the chapters change. Enjoy! ALSO, AU WORLD.

It was evidently summer, anyone with half a mind could figure that one. The sun was beating down against Konoha with a fury that was almost as bad as last year's heat blast. Luckily, there was always a retreat for the population of the country. The adults were secluded to their work; the young children were confined to their backyard sprinklers, and the teenage to their amazing beaches.

Definitely an equal division of things, definitely.

Where better to look for our amazing and oh-so exotic looking female character, Sakura, than at the beach? Her dear friend, Ino, had convinced her to escape down to the sandy area for the weekend with her near the border leading to Sunagakure.

Currently she was regretting such agreement that she had made to her pig of a friend.

They were at the snack bar getting one of the specials, a bubbly-looking fruity drink. Ino claimed that they were worth the two dollars and seven cents they had paid for them just because her cousin Deidara said so. It was not that Sakura questioned that part of logic; she was fine with a drink being so delicious that it was okay to pay just a little bit more. However, she didn't think it was worth all the looks they were both getting.

Particularly from the red-haired man with quite too many piercings.

It made her extremely uncomfortable and caused her to wish she had forgotten the only cover-up she had brought; her beach towel. Unfortunately she'd left it in Ino's convertible and that was a long walk away. She was definitely an idiot at times even if she was smart enough to be an upcoming doctor and she was definitely regretting wearing the bikini she picked out. No it wasn't skimpy or slut-worthy, but it definitely wasn't the most modest.

"Ino, let's go already! Stop flirting with the bartender. If you like pineapples that much we can buy you a ton at the store." Sakura bit her lip attempting to sneak a glance that the odd male from only moments earlier. She made it look as if she was fooling with her sandal to mask what she was really up to which was spying on the really creepy guy. When she stole a glance at him, she froze with the mindless fiddling of her fingers; he was walking towards them.

Fucking shit.

She slowly withdrew to the position she was in before as naturally and unconcerned as she could be.

"-phone number. We can go in a minute, alright Saks?" She had caught the end of her best friend's response—no excuse.

"Say that again Ino-pig?" She knew Ino wasn't one for repeating herself but she only asked so that she could possibly forget about the weirdo. Mostly she was hoping that he was just thirsty for a drink, but her hopes didn't always work in her favor.

"I said, don't make fun! Just hold on and let me get his phone number. We'll leave soon. Be patient Saks and chill. We're at the beach for Kami's sake." Ino finished with a silly smile that she was giving partially to Sakura and to the pineapple-headed tender. For a moment when she actually took a glance at him she couldn't tell whether he was tired or if he was just plain stoned; or maybe that was his natural look?

It felt as if she was going to laugh at her own thoughts because she knew they were just plain ridiculous until she felt a warm lash of breath on the back of her neck.

Hell. No.

She started to turn around when she saw that stranger she had been eyeing earlier sitting beside her, he was definitely more creepy up close. He had a very sadistic smirk on his face and she continued to turn noting he had another fellow with him who was appearing to have the color of blue on his skin. Odd couple or what?

Upon hearing him talk she looked back him with annoyance, "Now I know you aren't here by yourself, am I right? Maybe if you gave me your number and we can just head to my place you won't have to be so alone." He had that smug smirk on again and her blood began to boil. This disgusting foul man—no creep was going down.

Queue the bad temper.

"I'm sure you love to be right, but fortunately you're wrong. I'm with my friend. Now byePein." She snorted and began to turn around when she was yanked back and out of her seat by the wrist.

"What the he-" She almost yelled the phrase and almost finished it too till she saw the look in their eyes. Idiots.

"Sakura! What's going on?" Here came Ino-pig to save the day with her questions.

"I'm having tea? Actually, Ino-pig, this fucking creep thinks he can pull shit with me." She turned her nose up in disgust. This was supposed to be the fun she was having? Not that inviting. She was still caught in the Pein's—she meant the idiot's hand. Yanking back would do no good with his iron grip.

"Actually, I think I can sweetheart." He was about to move in further when he halted at the words of yet another stranger.

"But you won't." Like the jelly to a donut, there was yet another unfamiliar person entering her life. What is this? Open house for fuck's sake! However when she set eyes on this supposed knight in shining armor she just had to stop and look. He had ebony hair that went along perfectly with his eyes that were almost the same shade. He was certainly tall and manly enough for the entire male species. Exotic, just like her.

"Like hell you won't! Let me go asshole." She was just fueling the fire and that was her specialty. She squirmed slightly in the tight grasp, her hand was beginning to turn white, "I swear if you don't release me I'm going to smash your testacies, then rip. Them. OFF!"

Fire had never burned so brightly on the earth at any moment in time than it did now in her emerald eyes. Pein simply snorted, as if a female could ever possess the strength to hurt him.

Smack

While he was evidently distracted with the thought of being the most powerful and amazing person in the world Sakura had landed a fully fledged and fully powered punch against his face. This merely set him off course though, he looked back at her within a few moments; a new rage had consumed his face for he was getting his way easily enough. She had escaped his grasp and she stood a couple feet away from him now.

"Ya'know it only takes seven pounds to do it and don't think I won't." Sakura flipped her soft pink hair out of her face and produced her own smirk to Pein preparing a fight.

"SAKURA, get out of there! You're not supposed to be fighting, remember?" Like when was the last time she listened to Ino-pig, this guy was going down.

Sakura really wanted to nail this asshole so she decided to lay down one more comment before she decked him, "You can call me seven pounds later, kay?"

It seemed everyone had forgotten about the third stranger featured in the story, little mister sexy face. While Pein had been focused on his precious little treasure that was meant to be hers, sexy face laid another fist upon his ugly face almost knocking him out. One of his hands held a firm grip on Pein's shoulder while the other landed another hit.

And another, and another, and another, and yet again another

"Um, Mister! I think you should stop now, you might kill him." Ino protested slightly, noticing that Pein had gotten knocked out around the fourth blow. Pleased that he had faltered in his actions after she asked so, she waved for him to come over.

He let Pein's now frail body sag to the grown, his fishy friend long gone, and slowly sauntered over. Ino squealed at his looks because she wasn't able to get a good glance before this, "Ohmygod, you saved my poor best friend from that evil man. You have no idea how glad I am. So what's your name?"

This man wasn't fond of talking or close contact with the female species so he decided giving his name to her would be the best option and to hope she didn't have more questions, "Hn…Uchiha Sasuke."

Sensing her best friend would ask many more questions Sakura quickly butted in, attempting to shoo Ino back to the snack bar, "Um, well I guess a thanks is in order." In this moment Ino quickly bolted back to the said place but not before sending Sakura knowing look, "I really appreciate that, is there anything I could do?"

"Hn. Your name?..." He had a smirk on just as Pein did but it wasn't vicious looking and it fitted him it seemed.

"Oh, it's Haruno Sakura. Pleased to meet you." She ended the answer with a bright smile, Ino was right she really just needed to relax. After all it wouldn't hurt to be nice to her hero, would it?

"And a date, Sa-ku-ra?" The smirk he held only became smugger after he watched her expression contort into various emotions.

"You…we just… THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO ASK A PERSON YOU'VE MET ONLY FIVE SECONDS AGO SASUKE UCHIHA!" She couldn't help but yell; it was a spur of the moment thing. She clasped a hand to her mouth immediately, "I did not…mean to yell at you but…"

He took a step closer towards her, that damn smirk still glued on his face, "Well I suppose now is a good time?"

"What? Are you serious?"

"Aa. Now come on." She grasp the hand he extended and they began to walk away slowly.

"BE BACK LATER INO." She couldn't help but smile as they walked across the beach, she was definitely on luck's side today.

"And if you keep making me speechless I don't mind actually ripping your balls off too."
