I wanted to exercise my writing and this is a challenge I found while digging around the internet for a while. It's from the 1sentenceorder livejournal. The challenge is to pick a pairing and write one-sentence stories about them using the listed themes from the chosen set. Of five sets, I randomly picked theme set Beta and went crazy with it.
The sentences aren't exactly connected with each other but if it makes one whole picture to you, well I guess it could work like that.
Enjoy!
UCHIHA SASUKE and HARUNO SAKURA
#1 Walking
He was drawn to the irony of the woman with heavy fists who was light on her feet.
#2 Waltz
Sakura assumed that the Prince was not much for dancing but he had proven her wrong so many times that she just let him carry her on his wings as they moved on the dance floor.
#3 Wishes
"We've lost the people we love most but we have to move on now, Sasuke-kun."

He's convinced her that he got his eyes from his mother which only left her curious of how beautiful she must have been.
#5 Worry
Night fell and the swamp reeked of danger but Naruto told him Sakura could take care of herself.

As long as no one saw, he didn't mind the way she messed with his hair and styled it as he did when he was still thirteen.
#7 Waste/Wasteland
When Danzo had taken over the village, Sasuke creeped in the dead of the night and took Sakura by the hand.

"Put this on and wait for me while I heat you a cup of coffee," said Sasuke before he shut the door to his bedroom.
#9 War
"She's just a friend, Sakura."
#10 Weddings
The exchange of I do's was the last chapter; the honeymoon promised a sequel.
#11 Birthday
Sasuke growled quietly so as not to wake her as he flipped another overcooked pancake.
#12 Blessing
The door opened and he watched her lips curve into a smile as she welcomed him home from yet another dead end mission.
#13 Bias
"He's a prodigy from Water Country," she said, continuing to tell him about her day with her new intern while he tried his best not to roll his eyes while she was looking.
#14 Burning
Even inches felt like miles when they were tangled in the sheets.
#15 Breathing
He felt something heavy literally lifted off of his chest and when he opened his eyes, he saw her soaked to the bone with her hands glowing pale green.

She was of Mars and he was of the moon.
#18 Balloon
The past wasn't something he didn't want to let go of—it was just something he had to hold on to.
#19 Balcony
Sakura asked for privacy but he was too captivated with the way her hair flew with the midnight breeze as her skin glowed like ivory under the moonlight.
#20 Bane
He kept on questioning her judgment and she was learning to think twice.
#21 Quiet
"Wait, you're not jealous of Kiba, are you?"
#22 Quirks
The way she consistently tucked and untucked her hair behind her ear was a dead giveaway of her apprehension.
#23 Question
Had he taken her with him years ago, would she still be standing by him or would she have died before now?
#24 Quarrel
Sakura set the plate and the utensils in front of him but she only steamed a serving of dim sum for herself.

#26 Jump
He had taken her to heights she never dreamed of with no other choice but to embrace the altitude and fall into the gravity.
#27 Jester
At least he has a sense of humor, thought Sakura while she climbed the electric posts to retrieve her books.
#28 Jousting
Sasuke was indecisive—was he asking her out to dinner as a woman or as a comrade?
#29 Jewel
Everyone noticed her hair but only a few ever admired her eyes.
#30 Just
He should have known better than to ignore the cravings of his pregnant wife who used to cook him dinner.
#31 Smirk
As smug as he was, Sakura knew she was going to lose this spar as well as control in bed tonight.
#32 Sorrow
Only Sasuke could see that the brightness in her smile cannot outshine the twinkle of the tears in her eyes.
#33 Stupidity
First dates were just as important as first impressions and Sakura couldn't believe she just wore to her date the same dress she wore when they first met.
#34 Serenade
She sat beside him and watched his fingers work against the keys, producing a melody he would only play for her.
#35 Sarcasm
"Do you want to be my maid-of-honor, Kakashi-sensei?"

He was not going to become his father.
#38 Sojourn
Sakura dreaded the wee hours of the morning when she felt him leave the bed and heard him dressing up.
#39 Share
The storm had trapped them both in its eye and for once they didn't mind each other's company, leaving their labels for the strong winds to carry away.
#40 Solitary
"I can get you out of here," she whispered through the steel bars but the rogue man inside wouldn't turn the slightest bit to look at her.
#41 Nowhere
They ran to a place where he wasn't wanted; where she wasn't a saint and; where no one could tell them this was not meant to be.
#42 Neutral
He was wanted—dead or alive—but Sasuke was a comrade and she was still human inside.
#43 Nuance
Dating the prince was harder than wearing a blindfold in the dark but it taught her to appreciate how he would inhale deeply whenever she walked into the room.
#44 Near
He'd broken three of his opponent's ribs and his tailbone but a week after their battle, he found the man was lifting three sacks of rice on his shoulder again.
#45 Natural
Despite his teammates' warnings, he couldn't help but look over his shoulder and watch Sakura test the temperature of the lake water with her toes.
#46 Horizon
Sakura knew that though Sasuke's pride was boundless, the sun had to set some time so she left the front door open for when he returned.
#47 Valiant
She tried not to laugh as she watched him use rags for an armor against the power of boiling oil and uncooked meat loaf.
#48 Virtuous
To be known as one of the world's best healers also meant being known as one of the most dangerous shinobi alive.
#49 Victory
"I do."
#50 Defeat
Arguing with her usually lasted for hours if not for days but he realized letting go of the rope was so much easier than pulling it from her.
I hope you enjoyed the quick read! Favorite and tell me which one you loved most! I'm hoping to do something like this for my other favored pairings like ItaSaku and DeiSaku. I've got a personal challenge in mind for KakaSaku.
Under the Heir will be up in a few days while I'm still working on that BoruSara fanfic. DeiSaku fans, tune in to Untitled too! See you! Lots of love!
