"I promise you, there is no other woman in my life." He lied. "But there is no other woman better than I am." His mistress believed. "And I will not let no other woman ruin my marriage." His wife swore.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, nor the movie "No Other Woman" by Ruel S. Bayani.

AN: For those of you who don't know, this fic is based off a Filipino movie called "No Other Woman". I initially started this over a year ago but stopped for reasons you should have read (or not, no pressure)in the announcement chapter.

Enjoy!

Uchiha Sasuke needed to get hammered. Fast. Only, there was a slight interference to his heart's desire.

There was no more alcohol.

None. Zilch. Diddly fucking squat. Which amazes Sasuke for he had a designated room for his precious booze. One of which is 14ft by 13ft. All four damn walls now have empty wine shelves. Even the impressively large safe in the middle of the room was bereft.

So he called the one person that practically pissed silly juice.

Riiing...Riiing...Rii-

"What can I do for ya, boss?" As expected, the speaker's voice was laced in slurs and Sasuke could almost smell Jack Daniels.*

Not one for pleasant conversation starters, he cut straight to the point, "Drink. Now. Be at the Chandelier in 15 minutes." An amused snicker came from the other end, "Aw man, you have no idea how much I've missed our little adventures. So ya finally dumped Lil' Miss Cherry," there was a scoff, "took longer than I expected."

Sasuke growled. He didn't appreciate assumptions regarding his love life. Good or bad. "I didn't dump my wife, Suigetsu. Watch your fucking mouth before I make sure the only hole you can drink from is your ass." And with that being said, he cut the line dead. The only reason he was bringing along the sharp-toothed alcoholic was because not only is Sasuke an angry drunk, but he tends to down more shots exceeding his limit of nine. That's where Suigetsu comes in. Because even the Uchiha's stubborn ass can admit he has a very high tolerance for booze and always managed to bring them both home in one piece.

Also, Sasuke hasn't gone out for a drink since his late teens. Being already wedded at the ripe age of 20, he really couldn't find the time or reason to lose himself in poisonous beverages. Not when things were going so well.

The Uchiha Corps. was handed down to him when he graduated from college. Although it should be in the possession of his older brother, Itachi just didn't want to slave away in a big, dull office. Now, the 31 year old prodigy spends his days traveling the world, meeting all sorts of people, *cough* women *cough*. Despite the company given to him by default, the youngest Uchiha took his new responsibility whole heartedly and doing his father proud.

Uzumaki Minato is a very powerful political leader and Uchiha Fugaku often seeks wisdom from his old friend, making the Uzumaki family very close with the Uchihas. When Minato and his wife, Kushina, had their first born son, Naruto, the doctors confirmed 4 years later that Kushina could no longer have any more children. Devastated, Minato presented the concept of adoption. His wife was more than happy to. Word came out all over the local news about the Uzumaki family's current situation. One night, Minato received a phone call about whether or not he was interested in taking in a new born baby girl. They accepted right away and little Sakura Uzumaki was now a part of their family. Everything was perfect.

He remembered he first day he met the little (But hot. So very, very hot) brat.

"TEEEEMMEEEE- OW!"

"What did I tell you about screaming?!"

"Nani? You're screaming too, mom!"

"Respect your elders, Naruto."

"Hehe...I think Dad just called you old."

"ITAI! Kushina!"

"Hmph! I'm younger than you, old man!"

*sigh* "I never called you old, dear."

The Uzumaki household was located in a secluded area where it took at least 10 minutes to reach town. Kushina blushed a deep red while her husband nursed the bulge sprouting from his scalp and her son continued his stampede towards his best friend, Sasuke.

"Ne ne ne! Teme, guess what?" Sasuke scowled at his given nick name.

"Hn. I don't like to guess, dobe."

Naruto slapped on his best pout. "Fine," then he grinned, remembering his good news. "I'll tell ya' anyway! I got me a little sister!"

Sasuke cocked an eyebrow and slightly tilted his head in confusion. He overheard his mom and dad talking about how Uncle Minato and Aunty Kushina couldn't have another baby. When he asked his older brother whom he idolized so much, Itachi simply answered "Because the bird that was supposed to deliver the baby went on vacation for a while."

Speaking of his brother, here he comes now, with both of his parents following closely behind. "Hello, Kushina." His mother, Mikoto, greeted her long time friend with a wide but elegant smile. "Mikoto-chan!" And with that being said, Kushina spread her arms wide and wrapped them around her.

"Good evening, Minato." Fugaku stated evenly.

"Right back at ya'." Sasuke and Naruto shared a glance, knowing how informal the governor actually was around his friends.

Mikoto pulled away from the red headed woman and scanned her eyes behind the Uzumaki family. "So, where is she?" Yes, indeed, where is the newest member of this exuberant family? Kushina smiled, held up her forefinger in a single to wait, and strolled into the hallway, into a room to the left. The boy to Sasuke's left bounced slightly on the soles of his feet excitedly. Itachi noticed this as well, smiled, and ruffled Naruto's blond locks in a friendly manner. Sasuke felt a pang of jealousy. In his eyes, he was the only one allowed to receive such gestures from the reserved ninja.

His attention was quickly transferred to his Aunty Kushina who was silently walking towards them in gentle and cautious strides, her deep violet eyes to the small, white blanket currently nesting in her arms. Naruto bolted from his side and was the first to reach his mom and gave her his famous face-splitting grin. Minato swiftly followed and placed his hands on his wife's shoulders while smiling in the same soft manner as the red head. "Come and say hi," said the tall blond man. "But be gentle. She's still very sensitive to loud noises."

Kushina finally looked up at the Uchihas, her smile welcoming them to approach. Sasuke's mother walked over without hesitation and politely ask to hold the new born, to which her firned answered with a nod. Fugaku patted Minato's left shoulder firmly in congratulations. Itachi nudged his 4 year old brother forward, and both siblings stood in front of their raven haired mother who was currently cooing at the tiny being in her iron grip.

The youngest Uchiha gaped in fascination. He'd never seen a baby this young this close before. One Uchiha clan member, Sazuki-san, gave birth to a boy only 6 days ago. But Sasuke was never allowed to come even 12 feet of the baby for his father told him to not disturb the new mother and her child. This withered Sasuke's spirits for he was very friendly with Sazuki-san. She was his baby-sitter in many occasions and bought him toys every time she visited the main house.

"What's her name?" Itachi asked with equal interest as Sasuke.

"Sakura. Uzumaki Sakura. I came up with it myself!" The short, boisterous blond proclaimed with glowing pride.

Sasuke contined to stare. She was so small. And so...pink. Everything about her was pink. Her dainty hands. Her chubby baby cheeks. Then came that little sprout of pastel pink hair. He'd never witnessed anything even remotely like this, Sasuke almost audibly questioned her condition. That was, until the baby yawned, quite adorably too. The two mothers cooed once more, Naruto let out a loud "Aww!", and Minato grinned. Itachi and his father merely blinked in recognition. Then, she fluttered her eyes open, revealing the most vibrant green orbs. Her eyes switched to all of the new faces around her. Then they landed on the raven haired boy in front of her.

It was at that moment that Uchiha Sasuke made the promise of a lifetime.

"I'll protect you. For as long as I live. I give you my word...Sakura."

If he were to sum up Uzumaki, now Uchiha, Sakura in one word in all of the years they've known each other, it would most definitely be insufferable. Insufferable for many, many reasons. The list is practically infinite.

Insufferable because she is a workaholic, and coming from an Uchiha, that means a hell of a lot. She hammers through regular 14 hour shifts at the hospital, and if she had a cup of her favorite double shot expresso, would go over time to 17 hours.

Because she is one of the messiest, uncoordinated, unorganized, and discombobulated person in the planet. Below Naruto, of course.

Because she has the raging temper of a woman on her period and over 6 months pregnant. Then multiply that by 12.

Because her weaknesses are splayed out in the open constantly through her doe-like eyes.

Because she is the complete an utter opposite of him in every aspect except for one: They are the fiercest, most territorial, and most passionate lovers in the Milky Way galaxy and then some. Yes, she was annoying in too many ways, but never enough to make him stop loving her. The road to their getting together and marriage was an achingly long and hard battle. The past 7 years of knowing of each other's existence brought drama, jealousy, tears, and all sorts of madness.

As Sasuke settled comfortably down onto his leather couch, reminiscing about his history with Sakura, when a boisterous voice echoed from the other side of his door. "TEME, LEMME IN! I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!" The said bastard squeezed his brows together into an annoyed "v" and let out a defeated sigh while standing upright, already knowing the intruder. There was only one person he knew that wouldn't bother to ring the doorbell or knock. A blur of sun-kissed blond hair invaded the Uchiha's vision the moment the door was unlocked. Slamming the door behind him, the blond looked him square in the eye, anger radiating from his well built form.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I should be asking you the same thing, Naruto." This only aggravated him. Naruto's eyes narrowed, his fists balled tightly. "I entrusted her to you. I gave you my blessing as her brother to marry her. You gave your fucking word to neverhurt her in any way," Sasuke continued to stare blankly at his brother-in-law as he scolded him through gritted teeth, waiting for fists to start flying.

"Look, I don't know Sakura told you, but stay out of our business. I'm handling it."

It was then that Naruto erupted, "Like hell you're handling it! My baby sister has locked herself in the basement for weeks and you don't even have the balls to contact her! Damnit man, why do you keep doing this, huh? Are you some kind of sadist now?! DO YOU EVEN LOVE HER?!"

This caught Sasuke's full attention. With impressive speed, he grabbed Naruto by the collar of his shirt and shoved him roughly against the nearest wall. His once onyx orbs now glowed a fierce red. "Don't you darequestion my feelings for my wife. You of all people should know how much I went through just to have the privilege to go down on one knee in front of her." Naruto successfully pushed him off and resumed to stand firmly in front of his best friend, but then sighed heavily and looked expectedly at him. "So what's your game plan? Hell, I don't even know the whole story. But from what I got out of her, she's not gonna you forgive that easy, ya know. She's not like your previous girls who drool at your feet constantly."

Sasuke smirked and shoved his hands in his pockets, "Don't I know it." The blonde opened his mouth to reply, but was cut off by the doorbell. Naruto heard Sasuke mumble something that sounded something like "I was wondering whether that doorbell actually had any use."

The now opened door revealed a man around his mid-twenties, with almost-white purple hair and donned a smirk showing a flash of shark like teeth. "Hiya boss. Ready?"

Naruto gaped, his eyes bouncing off both figures in front of him. "What-..How-..WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE FISH FREAK?!" Said "freak" narrowed his eyes at the nickname. "Oi-"

"I called him here." Sasuke cut him off.

Naruto's eyes widened in realization, "Don't tell me you're drinking again..." When the Uchiha remained quiet, the blond gritted his teetch and shoock his head. "You can't be fucking serious. Haven't you learned anything, Teme?!"

"Stay out of this, dobe," Sasuke grabbed his black leather jacket that laid soundly on his couch. "And get out of my house." Naruto scoffed and grabbed Sasuke's bicep before he could walk away. "Like hell I am. I'm coming with you. You need to tell me the rest of the story." Sasuke snatched away from his grip and rolled his eyes, showing his growing irritation. "Tch. Whatever, dobe." Naruto grinned in triumph, "I call shot gun!" then bounded to Sasuke's sleek, black Acura NSX, with the owner of the car and Suigestu following closely behind.

"You do realize he'll probably get our asses kicked out again, right?" Suigetsu whispered warily to his long time partner. "Hn. Then drinks are on him."

Naruto's head popped out from the front seat, panic evident on his face. "Wait, what?"


.

.

Blinding arrays of rainbow lights. The almost deafening sound of wild music. A sea of people moving in waves of chaos. The air hot and humid, drenched in the scent of sweat and alcohol. Sasuke would rather stuff both of Naruto's feet into his mouth than voice out how much he missed this atmosphere.

The Chandelier was a bipolar place. Meaning that you either have the choice of joining what you would call Ground Zero where the magic of losing yourself in the fist pumping music and grind with one person to the next, or go upstairs to the Sky Trail, where everybody who is a somebody gets to indulge in the classic goodness of first class alcohol, Playboy Bunnies, and a glass roof that show cased the entire universe. Sasuke's personal favorite. Although his original plan was to give into the ecstasy of shots and strong beverages, his brother-in-law forbid him to reach his full buzz.

Both men were sitting in a private room Sasuke specifically bought for he was not one to enjoy others snooping in his business, especially if it concerned his love life. Suigetsu stayed down in Ground Zero where he claimed was way more exciting than "a room filled with rich assholes in suites while playing Beethoven's ninth symphony."
The Uchiha took in a swig of his favorite vodka before setting his eyes across the room to Naruto's fidgeting form, obviously wanting answers. He spoke in the most demanding tone Sasuke has ever heard him say in the last 18 years of knowing him, "Tell me everything."
And so he did...

"I was on a business trip to Jeju Island in South Korea," Sasuke started in his usual monotone. "As you already know, Uchiha Corps. was facing the threat of bankruptcy 6 months ago. In order to save my company, I requested a 3 year merger with an enterprise. But I was failing at convincing the CEO to accept." He stayed silent for almost a minute until Naruto threw his empty plastic cup at his head which earned the blond a glare. "Three weeks later, I met the CEO's daughter...Ino Yamanaka."

Then silence consumed them once again.

AN: YAY! Finally done with the first chapter! I'm orry it took a little long. I made major changes to the whole story but the plot in general is still the same. So...yeah, I changed Rei to Ino because Rei is new and I'm too lazy to develop her character. Where as most of you are already familiar with Ino. I, myself, find no interest in original characters most of the time.

And I know this chapter is short. I'm just testing the waters with this one.

And yes, I have deleted all the old chapters. Starting fresh, man!

See you guys next chapter!

And if you're an old reader, please review and tell me if you like this one better than the original. Thanks!
