Chapter one : Where we stand
Kakashi wondered when it had come down to this.
Sakura had always been the voice of reason in their little team. The one who could come between Sasuke and Naruto to calm them both down from fights, from arguments. Sakura wasn't a docile lamb though, she could easily slap Naruto and Sasuke into shape. She had repeatedly punched Naruto to Suna in her anger, or rage, of what the blond haired idiot of their team had said, or done, to the sweet Kunoichi.
Countless years has passed since this team had first been formed. Sakura the oldest of his students just turning eighteen. All his students had reached ANBU easily, well with some difficultly but more or less with out having to repeat it more then once. Though he wouldn't have been surprised if they had failed their first ANBU test, but none of them had and he was proud.
Naruto was the aspiring Hokage that would lead them in the distant future. Sakura was not only a top class Kunoichi and woman, but also head medic, and brilliant as always.
Sasuke was the more troubled of the team with his constant Uchiha pride and chip on his shoulder no doubt from his father always putting Itachi and even his elder cousin, Shisui, over him. Sasuke was keen on beating his brother and cousin. Itachi ANBU captain and Shisui his third in command. Team seven had only entered ANBU a year ago and were no where near climbing the ranks just yet to get close to the two Uchiha, or even Neji Hyuuga.
They all worked hard, and different things drove them. Naruto was driven in his need to be Hokage, Sasuke was driven in his desire to be better then his cousin and brother, and Sakura was driven to not be weak, to be the best of the best.
Over all they were all working slowly to their goals, but they were working hard day after day. They had gained power and strength and despite their different personalities they all had each other, which over all came back to what Kakashi was currently puzzled over.
It was no secret that Sasuke and Naruto had never gotten along, too much rivalry for sure or maybe the need to be better then the other for attention or the what not, but they had always fought, best friends to the end, but they fought.
Sakura always pulling them apart when the argument got serious or the anger rose too fast. So he had to again wonder how it came to this outcome.
" You ignorant panty sniffing pansy!" A silky voice roared. Kakashi snorted at the name calling. Naruto fluttered like a disturbed hen, and Sasuke glared at the pink haired female. Sakura face was flushed in anger, anger none of them had seen from her toward them before, hell not to anyone for that matter. Her chest rose and fell with her great pants of air in all her shouting and anger. Her jade eyes were dark and furious, her lips were pursed in a way that was almost inviting to her soft looking rose lips and her cherry hair that reached her waist, though bound up today, was out of place and overall gave her the look of either a furious woman, or a woman who had just been well pleasured.
Kakashi snapped his book closed, though for the past five minutes hadn't even been reading it caught in Sasuke furious words and then Sakura's as they argued loud enough for Suna to hear them. They had drawn a crowd it had seemed, but neither Sasuke nor Sakura seemed willing to lose what ever had started this argument. Naruto looked confused and concerned.
Kakashi was puzzled. Why had they even started arguing? They had never fought before. Though by that it was bound to happen some time, but he had never seen Sakura like this, and Sasuke looked equally angry. His onyx eyes were Sharingan red which indicated extreme emotion, no doubt his anger.
His face had a light red dusted across it in a blushing anger, his lips thinned in a straight line, his hands fist-ed at his sides, and his body tensed.
Kakashi wondered if he even wanted to know why she had just called him a panty sniffing pansy, or what that even meant, but Sasuke seemed to know well enough, or maybe it was just one of those random insults one throws out in anger. Not really meaning anything except to insult someone.
" You pathetic, weak, ugly, stupid little girl!" Sasuke shouted back. Kakashi gaped, Naruto gasped, the crowd went still holding their breath. Sakura reacted like she very well should have, she through herself at Sasuke who she tackled, and with her momentum, sent them both into the water under the bridge.
The crowd rushed the rail, like Kakashi and Naruto did, to watch them struggle together in the water standing at a point where the water hit them at the waist, or for Sakura just below her breast. They pushed the other into the water in a tangled mess and would come up moments later for air. It was then in their rage that the struggling stopped being all about shoving the other under water, and more about weapons as Sakura with a flick of wrist sent a hidden kunai out into her hand, and Sasuke noticing had a kunai out as well as they faced off.
Kakashi was unsure what to do. He didn't know why they were arguing, what caused it, and he didn't know what to do really. If he stopped them would this form a rift between the team and them? Or he didn't would one of them seriously injure the other? Kill? Was it that bad? They both looked furious enough. Then the blood started and more rage, if possible, came on them both.
Kakashi was contemplating stopping them or not when there was a curse from someone and then two forms leapt into the river and took one of the teens in arm, pulling them back and restraining them both. They cared less about each other for a moment to then turn to who ever dared stop them. Kakashi tensed as he saw Sakura be pulled back, her arms behind her and an arm just under her straining chest that wasn't hers but his. Uchiha Itachi held her, retained her, and Shisui Uchiha, had Sasuke in a similar restraint.
" SONOFABITCH!" Sakura yelled taking everyone by surprise, except Sasuke who seemed to take the yell as a insult to him. Shisui look stunned. Itachi looked displeased.
" LET ME GO! Itachi!" She struggled. Kakashi made a motion to interfere and then just as suddenly as the argument and anger started, it all ended when Shisui caught Sakura's eyes in his Sharingan and Itachi caught Sasuke's. They stood dazed and then both teens went limp. Itachi lifted the woman into his arms as Shisui tossed Sasuke over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes.
Everyone was shocked and Naruto made a frustrated concerned sound in his throat and Kakashi stared at the two Uchiha who had dealt with the situation he had not. Itachi and Shisui were not as wet as the two water soaked teens, but they were wet from the river none the less, their clothes sticking to them as much as they were the two they carried up from the river to the bridge.
The crowd dissipated and left only the four standing figures and the two unconscious on the small bridge team seven had always met up at.
" What the hell was that about?" Shisui asked with a huff as he dropped Sasuke suddenly onto the ground, he made a wet sound as he hit and a solid thump. Itachi didn't look like he was about to drop Sakura like a bunch of unwanted trash as Shisui had his cousin, but Kakashi was slightly worried he would and hesitated to try to take her away from the Uchiha.
" Hatake?" Shisui asked obviously that statement had been a question. Kakashi shrugged.
" Naruto?" Kakashi asked glancing at the blond haired teen who looked at Sasuke with surprise as he lay in a useless lump of soaked clothes and unconsciousness on the bridge.
" I don't know sensei. I've never seen them like this before, and neither have ever raised hand against the other." Naruto was right. Sasuke and Sakura had never fought before, touching in general they didn't like to do. Sakura and Naruto touched, even Sasuke and Naruto did, but now that he thought about it their was never any casual contact between Sakura and Sasuke. Should he have noticed this before?
" I'll look into it." Kakashi said to Itachi. Itachi looked into the males lone onyx eye with his own onyx.
Itachi didn't say a word simply left Shisui went with him. It actually took Kakashi and Naruto a minute to realize it, but they eventually did. Kakashi gaped under his mask.
" Holy crap teme's brother just kidnapped Sakura!" Naruto shouted. Kakashi blinked. It wasn't really kidnapping was it? Did Itachi forget to put her down? Or was he taking her for a reason? And why did he leave his brother here and take Sakura? What was going on?
XxxXxxXxxXxxX
Sakura woke to hands in her hair. She sighed. She knew that familiar touch. She opened her eyes though her entire body felt like lead and her eyes felt just as heavy. She heaved them open to find who she expected to. Onyx eyes met hers, and he smiled down at her briefly.
It was hard to think that this playboy could smile softly like that at anyone. She knew his sultry smiles, and his sly ones, she knew his wicked smirks, and his playful ones, but this soft smile she wondered if she was the only one to ever see from him. He certainly never did it any other time, or for anyone else but her. Which made her wonder if he was mocking her or not.
" So what was it now?" Shisui Uchiha asked.
Sakura looked up at him. She wasn't sure where she was, though it didn't look familiar and it smelled like something dark and fiery. Ash, wood, and soft smoke, but other then the scent nothing else was familiar. Though it looked like someone's bedroom and she was laying on the bed with her head on Shisui's lap his hands still playing through her long hair obviously now dry from her tumble into the river.
" Sasuke's just jealous." Sakura said with a huff answering his question, sort of, as she pulled herself into a sitting position. He looked mildly disappointed that she moved away from him. She even took her hair from him, brushed her hands through it once, and then pulled it into a tie as she snatched a band from his hand, obviously not hers.
She pushed the blanket that she had been under away and stood noticing for the first time she wasn't in her own clothes anymore. She made a sound of displeasure at being undressed and put into these clothes. Though the clothes were not Shisui's they were at least familiar, Itachi's. Which were large on her and yet held the same smell as the room, which meant they were in his room.
" Jealous?" A new voice asked. Sakura looked to the voice of deep silkiness and snorted, as if distressed by seeing him.
" I suppose you undressed me then? I'll kill Shisui if he did." Sakura said holding up a hand fist-ed to the Shisui Uchiha. Shisui rubbed the back of his neck with a sly smile, but she could tell he wasn't the one.
Itachi Uchiha walked into his own room looking like he could care less there was one Sakura Haruno in his bed, in his clothes, and in his house. Not at all bothered by the fact he had seen her completely undressed then actually redressed her in his clothes that, now that she got around to it, smelled like his comforting scent as well as his bed and his entire room. It was strange to be comforted by a scent alone.
" Does it bother you that I did? You rather I left you in river soaked clothes?" Itachi asked as he shut his door behind him, she could smell the soft scent of food, some type of bread, on the air from that brief period of time the door had been opened. Mikoto must be cooking.
" Not really." Sakura said truthfully. Shisui clucked his tongue as if angry that she would mind that he would have undressed her but his cousin could do it as he liked and she wouldn't care at all.
" I'll marry you Sakura don't worry. Your innocence is not at stake here." Shisui said with a smirk. She rolled her eyes.
" I don't think that's how it works baka. If anything you'd be saying Captain would have to marry me not you. He, after all, would be the one I would had risked my innocence to since he did undress me." Itachi cocked his eyebrow in amusement. She was so off hand about it, and she didn't even use his name, just his title as her ANBU Captain. He was somewhat amused by that.
" Aunt Mikoto would like that too much, and Uncle Fugaku would be so happy to get him married off he would have kittens." Shisui said. Sakura snorted out something like a laugh. Itachi scoffed at his cousin.
" Anyway Sakura, what did you mean Sasuke's jealous?" Shisui asked turning the subject back to her and Sasuke's argument. Her eyes darkened in anger.
" He's just jealous that his family likes me." Shisui snorted this time. Itachi raised an eye brow.
" Mikoto-san is like a mother to me, and Fugaku-sama allowed me to be the Uchiha clan medic even giving me such an honor. Shisui won't leave me alone, and Captain you don't exactly hate me do you?" Itachi locked eyes with her and a slow smirk rose his lips. Oh he didn't hate her at all, just the opposite in fact, but she didn't need to know.
Shisui tossed an arm around her after they stood from Itachi's bed. Shisui grinned at her snaking that arm around her waist as if he was allowed to touch her so freely, though Sakura didn't seem to mind that much at his casual touch.
" I see why Sasu-chan would be so very jealous of you Saku-chan." Shisui said with a soft smile her way. She rolled her eyes.
" I do see why he would be angry but he didn't have to go and insult me like that." She shook her head and through Shisui's arm off.
" Anyway I'm fine now, so don't bother with me." Sakura said as she saw Shisui look a tad worried.
" I did use my Sharingan on yo-" She cut Shisui off with a wave of the hand.
" Don't worry about it, wouldn't be the first time I was knocked out by it." She said and walked briskly past Itachi to his door.
" At least relax the rest of the day and get some sleep." Shisui called after her as she had already opened the door and was half out of it. She glanced back and smiled then shut the door in her wake.
" I wonder if she realized she just left your room wearing your clothes and is about to leave the house like that only to walk through the Uchiha district." Shisui said with a amused sort of look in his eyes. Itachi huffed.
" I doubt she cares."
XxxxXxxXxxXxxxX
Sasuke's eye twitched when he was told that Shisui his cousin had dropped him and left him on the bridge unconscious while he and his brother took Sakura home with them. Wasn't that supposed to be the other way around? What was it about her that his family loved so much?
Why did Itachi pay her any attention when he wouldn't even bother talking with his own brother, and why did his father respect her and take pride in her when she wasn't even his child? Why did his mother love her, and Shisui treat her like a sibling when he had left Sasuke to get raped by fan girls on the damn bridge?
He wasn't sure he was thankful or not to Naruto who had taken him to his apartment while he was unconscious, he really didn't like waking to the smell of old ramen and Naruto, really didn't like waking in his bed, and really didn't like waking up with him leaning over him. It felt to much like one of those yaoi moments he heard so much about from all the fan girls.
" Dobe I swear if you felt me up I'll kill you." he said. Naruto's eyes narrowed at him.
" You think I have nothing better to do then to feel your tight ass up you freak?" Sasuke blanched.
" Dobe never again refer to my ass in any way." Sasuke forced off a repulsed shiver. Naruto laughed and moved away to let Sasuke sit up in his bed.
" What about if I said I'll kick your ass?" Naruto teased. Sasuke snorted.
" Like it could ever happen anyway." Sasuke said with a scoff. Naruto glared but let it pass.
" So you feel better? Less angry? Less suicidal?" Naruto asked. Sasuke scoffed at him even more.
" I think I'm sitting in ramen." He said shifting to the side disgusted. Naruto looked at his bed and actually thought about if he would have laid Sasuke in a bowl of his ramen or not. Sasuke silently fumed.
" You know now that I think about it I was eating ramen in bed before I had to leave for training." Naruto said nodding. Sasuke bolted out of bed and made a face.
" Dobe your an idiot." Sasuke said staring down at the noddles hanging off his butt and also his clothes were still damp, obviously from the river, and he smelt terrible no doubt not only from the spill in the river either. He had dried blood all over him. Kami why did he have to put up with this crap?
" Do you have a shower or not?" Sasuke asked shivering in disgust as he felt the sticky mess of ramen run down his legs. Who knows what else he had been laying unconscious in. He blanched. Kami bad thoughts, bad thoughts!
" Of course I do!" Naruto said sounding angry. Sasuke took a look around the mess that was Naruto apartment and spotted two doors one left the apartment the other had to be his bathroom. And Sasuke waddled to it feeling like he had noddles in his pants he hurried to the door and jerked it open. He took a step back and sighed. Of course it would be a mess as well.
Sasuke however entered the room and slammed the door. He tossed off his clothes and leap into the shower. He gasped as he turned the water on and it spat out only cold water. He glared at the bathroom door with a heated glare. He officially hated Sakura and Naruto.
XxxXxxXxxXxxX
" Oi open up!" Sakura said knocking on her friend and teammates door. Naruto opened it looking surprised.
" Oh hey Sakura-chan good to see your awake too. What are you wearing?" Naruto asked looking down at her, she looked every bit of a woman who had just come from a lovers house and was wearing his clothes since hers were torn in the process of being undressed. She was in a shirt two sizes two big and long enough to be a dress as it fell past her hips, the pants no doubt were rolled up several times at the waist but also still bagged and sagged around her legs, she looked also very much like a child dressing up in her fathers clothes, or her brothers for that matter.
" Hum?" Sakura looked down at the black clothing she wore and twisted around as if doing so would help her identify the clothing. It did because it showed Naruto the Uchiha crest on the back of the shirt. Of course.
" Oh probably Captain's. Or Shisui's. Hey do you still have my work clothes here? I'm late and apparently it's laundry day." Sakura said. Which meant she had used up all her clothes and needed to wash them obviously. Work was her shift at the hospital. Naruto thought about that... did he even know where he put those extra clothes she had given to him in case she needed a pair on hand for this very reason? Well maybe not this very reason, but something like it he supposed.
" Yeah somewhere." Naruto said as he let her in. She shook her head at the mess, and was that ramen spilled over his bed? He slept in the stuff now? Eating and breathing it wasn't enough? She shook her head as he shut the door behind her trapping her in the land of empty ramen cups, bowls, and garbage.
He began looking around for her clothes. Her eyebrow twitched at the mess. Kami she would have to come by and clean it again.
" Oh! Here they are!" Naruto said with a grin as he bounced over a pile of dirty clothes and handed her a black shirt and shorts so obviously hers. She nodded her thanks. They were the only clean things in the place she figured.
She forced the clothes into his hands again as she saw that the bathroom was being used by whoever or whatever and she sighed.
" Hold those. I wouldn't want to dirty them by putting them down anywhere." She said off hand as she pulled Itachi's shirt up just as the bathroom door opened and someone choked. She pulled the shirt fully off and looked back to the choked voice. Sasuke stood with wide eyes zeroed in on her, so obviously naked from the waist up, form. Or maybe just on her bared breast. He wasn't exactly clothed either with a orange-of all colors- towel around his waist his hair soaked and plastered to his shoulders and neck.
Of course she wouldn't have her bindings on around her breast like she usually had. She really was naked as could be under Itachi's clothes and she hadn't thought much of undressing to the nude in front of Naruto. He didn't seem to mind at least, though she may have just shocked Sasuke, whom she didn't even think would be in Naruto's shower. Must have laid in the ramen, she figured. There would be no other reason Sasuke would willingly shower in Naruto's bathroom. She wouldn't even change in the bathroom let alone shower.
" Ah." Sakura said as if nothing was wrong and she wasn't bared to both her teammates. She handed Naruto the shirt she had took off and pulled on her own. She then under Sasuke's shocked watchful eyes pulled off the pants as well baring her as well from the waist down this time. She ignored Sasuke's shocked look and Naruto amused one as she took her shorts and handed Naruto Itachi's and then pulled them on. She wasn't use to being naked under her own clothes let alone anyone else's but she figured once she did the laundry she could put some on later. She just had to get to work.
" Right on time." She said to herself as she took the clothes she had just been wearing and tossed them at a stunned and slightly blushing Sasuke. He was shocked enough to catch the clothes and in affect dropped the hideously colored orange towel from his waist. She raised an eye brow at the same time Naruto burst into laughter. Sasuke covered himself with the clothes she had through at him, he blushed redder and she smirked. She slapped Naruto on the back as he started to choke and wheeze in his laughter.
" Alright thanks Naruto. I'll see you later." She said as she ruffled his hair affectionately and left the way she had come, this time appropriately dressed.
XxxXxxXxxXxxX
Sasuke dressed in a hurry as he wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea about him being naked in Naruto- of all people's- apartment.
While he pulled on clothes he recognized as Itachi's he frowned and thought about what the heck had just happened. First of all he had just seen Sakura naked, and she had just undressed in front of him and Naruto as calmly as could be, then actually had been dressed in his brothers clothes, and of course had seen him naked. Also... why the heck was Naruto laughing and not embarrassed after Sakura had just been freaking naked in front of him? Why the heck did he have her clothes here in the first place?
" Dobe..." Sasuke began feeling some sort of shock at what he was thinking enter his mind. Naruto turned to him with a noodle hanging from his mouth. He had obviously found -somehow- more fresh ramen to eat in this filth.
" Are you and Sakura...together?" Sasuke asked wincing at his own words. That couldn't be could it?
" Together?" Naruto asked around a mouthful of Ramen. He looked confused.
" Are you dating?" Sasuke clarified. He didn't like wearing his brothers clothes, though they fit fine, he just didn't like it, though they smelled faintly of Sakura and that wasn't bad and they were warm from her body heat. She had been naked in these clothes, he blushed and scoffed at his own thoughts. He was supposed to hate her not get aroused thinking about her being naked, of all things, in his brothers clothes. He didn't want her anywhere near or in his brothers clothes.
" Me and Sakura-chan Dating? No. Not dating." Naruto said though Sasuke could barely understand him around the ramen he had stuffed in his mouth. Sasuke scoffed in disgust and left as Sakura had. He used his hands to ruffle his own hair into dryness and it took it's usual form of chicken butt hairstyle as he walked home. Well at least he should have known Naruto and Sakura would never be together like that, though why had Sakura so easily undressed in front of Naruto and him as well. She hadn't always been like that.
When they were younger she was angry every time she had to even share a room with them let alone undress, and yet she so openly had undressed in front of them both. The only sort of woman who would do that, was either one comfortable enough with her body to not care whom saw it, or was a woman who has a lover and was use to being naked in front of a man, or maybe Naruto was her lover. Sasuke shuttered. He would hope at least Sakura would have better taste then that.
