Well I'm finally back again. I wanted to write again and I hope this ends up being a good story that I can end. Sorry if you read my other story, it's been on hiatus for forever now, and I'm sorry about that. Well now let's begin this new story. Hope you enjoy it!

Disclamer: I don't own Naruto, I can only wish .

Chapter 1: Pitiful Party

Why are these lights so bright? Why did I even show up to this pitiful place today? I wish I was home asleep, but no I had to get dragged to this stupid party. This would be better if Ino was here, but she had to be off on a mission. She was always off on missions when these pitiful parties happened. It was just my luck, sometimes I wonder if she doesn't plan it out. She was my best friend, a best friend that left me alone when I was lugged to parties with Naruto and Sasuke, but my best friends nonetheless.

But enough of that, here I was sitting in the corner on a couch in some unknown person's house. They didn't even have a good taste in music for goodness sake. I don't even know if you could consider it music honestly.

It wasn't music that had to beat that made you want to dance, it more has a beat that made you sick. Maybe the sick comment wasn't right of me to say, it was more of the whole party that wanted let me to that. It didn't help with all these wannabe ANBU roaming around, it really got on my nerves.

Before you ask wannabe Anbu are usually genin and chunin that believe they are even better than Anbu even though they barely can accomplish D and C rank mission. You actually don't see them much roaming around the leaf village. They seemed to only come out at these parties.

Don't get me wrong the very presence of them wasn't the nuisance, ok that might be a lie. They acted all high and mighty even though most of them were genin and lower chunin. Plus I hated the looks and questions they would all ask me. The Konaha 11, including Sai and Sasuke, were famous in the land of fire now after the attack of Pain and the Fourth Great Ninja war. Because of that people acted different towards us now.

Everyone knew who we were, some were scared of us, others looked up to us, then there were the ones who thought we weren't anything special and believed we were just fake heroes. None of these bothered me though, it was life now.

Now back to the party. What I didn't like was when these wannabe ANBU went and thought they were all that. They would go asking around to have a good time or just hitting on girls. Of course I was no exception. Sometimes it was even more with me cause they found me as a high price if they got me, I guess like a trophy. Maybe I stood out for other reasons as well. It seemed like I always got the most wannabes hitting on me out of my friends. Was my hair really that bad? Or was it something else? I didn't know and honestly didn't want to learn either. Why couldn't they just leave me alone for once though?

I laid back and sighed looking up at the ceiling. "I guess I better go," I whispered to myself looking down at the drink in my hand. If I stayed here any longer the consequences will not be good. I honestly think drinking and I shouldn't be combined at times. Once I started I didn't like to stop, unless I put strict control over myself, which didn't happen often. I put the drink on the table next to me as I looked up.

I should have never done that because I noticed one of the wannabe ANBU walking up to me with his cocky smile in full gear. I do have to say he was cute, but just not my type. He had short brown hair that fell to the side of his face and light brown eyes that looked like they had broken many hearts in the few years they had.

I saw him looking up and down before he spoke. "Hey, so what's your name sweetie?" I looked up at him just wishing he would leave. "Wow is that your real eye color or are those contacts? Nah those have to be contacts." He said with the usually surprised tone I always get.

I look to the side of me not wanting to answer him while looking. "These aren't contacts I really have emerald colored eyes." I whispered hoping he wouldn't hear me and not bother me anymore. "Really I find that hot. Now how old are you sweetie?" he said not even looking at me but rather at my chest. "I'm nineteen now could you please stop bothering me I was just about to leave." I insisted while I started to get up.

Then I felt a push against my shoulder, as I was jolted back onto the couch. "Come on don't be that way honey, I just wanna have some fun." He returned with a new look in his eyes, a looked like he wanted to be in command of me for the night. I looked up not knowing what to do now. Actually I knew exactly what I wanted to do, I just didn't want to make a scene. I have to come up with something right now was the only thing reeling through my head.

You know fuck it I don't care if I make a scene. I was concentrating all my chakra into my fist so I could send him flying across the room. Right when I was about ready to end this deplorable scene I looked up again to see him being pushed away from me. "How about you get away from my girl, you know that hitting on someone else's girl is a major crime. Don't tell me I have to beat your face in now do I?" I heard an unknown voice demand in a merciless tone.

All I heard in reply was the genin croaking, "Dude chill out ok. Man a girl isn't worth this much trouble." As he moved out of the way a new face came into view. "Hey Haruno-chan, you should really stop getting in to trouble." he rambled as he sat next to me, well sort of he was still a good 5 feet from me.

"Don't give me that shit. Why did you do that anyway? I can protect myself. I was just about to sent him flying." He just looked at me with those deep onyx eyes. Those eyes I had seen since I was a kid, the eyes that had saved me yet caused me so much pain. Also the eyes that are so cold, even to me, one of the people who he was closest to. "Hn, sure," he responded while turning his head towards me.

He talked a lot more after coming back to Konaha three years ago. Of course not at first he would barely speak, he was even worse than when we were genin. But soon it changed, it started with Naruto making him gain some sanity to learn to talk more. He started with only talking to Naruto and Kakashi the most with a handful of words to other. Then finally he working his way to talking to me more. He was friendlier than he used to be, there was no doubt about that. He still had a hard time showing emotion at time, but he grew on me.

He was actually her friend, and would protect her when needed, even though he still had that cold look in his eyes. I would talk more about our journey into friendship, but now isn't the time. "Will you stop it! I can't stand your cocky attitude. I know you care, even if it's your weird Sasuke way. But you don't need to stand up for me, plus that was very un-Sasuke like of you." I yelled finally getting it out of my system.

"Hn. I know it was," He admitted while looking at the door now. "You know Sasuke you should really stop messing around." His onyx eyes then stricken me with a hard cold look. "Tch, Sorry for helping." He murmured now looking down at his feet, I knew he was just going to leave now. That was the last thing I needed if I wanted to make a safe escape from here.

So I then grabbed his face to make it look up at me. "Sorry for going off on you. I'm just in a bad mood and need to go." I broke from my gaze not wanting to keep in eye site. His eyes where still cold, but I saw something else as well come out. "Hn…. Sakura, how about we leave this joke of a place and I can drop you off, but I might need to stay over since I live across the village? We have that mission in the morning anyway."

I hadn't even answered before he had gotten up and pulled me off the couch. "Hey Sasuke stop I haven't even answered you yet. I'm sorry I'm not in the mood for that. Anyway remember what happened last time you went over to my house. I don't want that to happen again. I'm afraid it will ruin our friendship. Plus why are you so weird today, it's not like you."

He just looked down at me. Then all I heard was, "It won't be ruined."

So that's it for now. It was kind of short, but I already have other chapters written. I hope you enjoyed it and please review. ^_^
