Author's Note: Hey everyone! Okey dokey here's the dealio, like many of the animes I have come to watch, I stumbled upon Naruto by accident and absolutely L-O-V-E it! I mean the series was always on t.v. but I kinda thought it was a little kid show (and frankly Naruto's orange jumpsuit turned me off) but I am happy to say that I was wrong and the show has many serious themes that make it exciting! I especially fell in love with Sasuke and felt so sorry for the whole Sasuke/ Sakura couple. :'(

Now about this story, it will be a Sasuke and Sakura pair since I love that couple and hope that they get together soon! (PLEASE!) Anyways, sometimes you just start thinking about a series a whole lot and so I was thinking a lot about Sasuke and Sakura and how tragic it was that they had to part ways, so much so that I began to dream about the couple and somehow got this fic in my head.

WARNING: This story will have mature themes that fall into the "Rated T" category. It might go up later on but I'll let you know.

Spoiled Alert: To play it safe, I'm going to say that this fic is up to date with the manga. Especially up to Naruto 404 Falcon and Akatsuki, with the truth about Itachi revealed and everything.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto (or his hideous orange jumpsuit)

Okay! Enjoy! And please review and tell me if I should continue! :D

Chapter 1: In Love With The Prisoner

Sasuke Uchiha walked through the large mansion where he, Team Hawk, and his loyal subjects resided. The area reminded him a lot of the old way the Uchiha clan lived. The small buildings that were all in the area of the mansion seemed to together make a small village.

Things had quieted down quite a bit for Sasuke since the demise of Akatsuki. Since Team Hawk was only part of the organization for their own benefit, when the time came to sever ties with the shady group, it had been easy to tell Akatsuki they weren't interested in being affiliated with them any longer. Of course Sasuke had to be the one to "persuade" Akatsuki not to interfere with his plans to attack Konoha.

Since then, the last Sasuke heard of Akatsuki was that it was dying out without a singular leader and the members were slowly getting captured.

But Sasuke had been busy himself. He had been trying to plan revenge on Konoha while also making sure to see his ultimate goal of reviving the Uchiha clan. It had started with getting people together to acknowledge the Uchiha name; which was easier than he had thought. Turns out, there were plenty of people who wanted to be able to serve the honorary Uchiha clan and so Sasuke was blessed with many loyal advisors and subjects.

Sasuke sighed as he entered the kitchen. A maid was getting breakfast together and squealed in surprise when she saw Sasuke come in.

Sasuke didn't even flinch when he heard the glass in her hand fall to the floor and shatter.

"Oh! Sasuke-sama, I didn't even hear you come in. I-I-I'll clean this right up! In the meantime, can I get you s-s-s-something to eat?" The maid stuttered in embarrassment and blushed as she looked at her handsome master.

"No, that's alright. I'm not hungry anyway." Why did women all insist on acting like this in front of him? It was so… annoying.

He left the kitchen and walked outside. It was about noon time and he rested against a large rock. He was still waiting for the members of Team Hawk: Suigetsu, Jugo, and Karin, to return to the mansion. They had gone out to run some errands for him about two days ago and were expected to arrive any minute now.

After killing Itachi, all Sasuke thought about was enacting revenge on Konoha for the miserable life it had forced upon his older brother. He had gathered Team Hawk together long before that to actually find Itachi but now that Itachi was dead, Team Hawk stayed with Sasuke to aid him in his revenge. Plus each member was really together in a team for their own benefit, Sasuke knew that.

It really didn't matter to him. Suigetsu, Juugo, and Karin had decided to stay with Sasuke because they really didn't have anything better to do.

Sasuke heard rustling of leaves and voices as he turned his head to look into the shrubbery of the forest.

"You idiot! How dare you say that to me! I am ten times as pretty looking as her!"

"Whatever, you bitch! I can't believe you punched me! You're such a bitter, jealous, ol- OUCH!"

Sasuke sighed deeply and closed his eyes. Suigetsu and Karin were at it again it seemed. The two never were able to avoid fighting with each other. Suigetsu and Karin were both the same age as Sasuke while Juugo was two years older than them. However, no matter their close ages, Sasuke didn't think of any of them as friends, only allies.

Karin was the first to walk out of the darkness of the forest. She was followed closely by Juugo and Suigetsu, who was limping slightly.

Sasuke didn't open his eyes.

Karin stopped when she saw Sasuke resting against the rock. His dark hair fell in his face and she felt a sudden urge to jump on him and kiss him everywhere. However her daydreams were soon interrupted when she remembered that they were not alone and that if she had attempted such a thing, no doubt Sasuke would have simply pushed her away from him.

"How'd it go?" Sasuke questioned in a bored voice without bothering to move.

Juugo answered. "Everything went as planned. We gained resources from the neighboring village and they have agreed not to attempt to resist as long as we don't attack them."

"Hmm. Good."

Karin took a step forward and began to yell. "Sasuke, stop making me go on missions with that this idiot!" She pointed towards Suigetsu, who was hidden behind Jugo's large form.

Sasuke scowled as he opened one eye. Karin really got on his nerves with her constant yelling and especially when she threw herself at him, quite literally. But she had special powers that were needed, he had to admit.

When all of them were together, they were an impressive team, which was why all of the subjects who resided around the Uchiha mansion respected and obeyed the entire team, most of all Sasuke's word.

Sasuke had grown from the small, rash boy in Konoha into a strong young man. He wore traditional Japanese clothes with the Uchiha emblem proudly on his back.

Out of all of the members of Team Hawk, Karin was the one whom most of the subjects avoided and refused to do chores for. It had a lot to do with her attitude towards them. She was snobby and harsh with her commands, not allowing anything less than complete perfection. Karin was a young woman with bright, fiery red hair and eyes that matched. Her hair was unkempt on one side with the other straight and combed. She wore a plain white shirt that was open at her stomach. She had large hips and wore tight black shorts.

Karin's personality clashed immensely with the other member of Team Hawk, Suigetsu. Suigetsu was the member of the team that was the most fun to be around. He was constantly making jokes and had an easygoing personality that made him easy to talk to. He had grayish-blue hair that went to his shoulders and was dressed casually in a black tank top with white pants. His many hobbies including annoying Karin, collecting swords, and annoying Karin.

The final member of Team Hawk was Juugo. Juugo was the strong and silent type, except when he had urges to kill, in which he turned into an immensely strong and brutal type. The only one who could control him was Sasuke. Juugo was mostly quiet unless he had something important to say. With bright orange hair and bronzed skin, he had a strong built form with a very gentle heart. Juugo truly hated the other side of him that killed innocent people and so his true personality of being kind was the complete opposite of his alter-ego.

"Yeah, Sasuke, it's not like I enjoy going on missions with Miss-Bitch-of-the-Universe herself!" Suigetsu's voice exclaimed somewhere behind Jugo.

Juugo mediated between the two. "We are all part of the same team, stop bickering you two. We all need each other, remember that."

Karin crossed her arms in front of her chest and huffed. Then she suddenly remembered something and pointed to Suigetsu. "Sasuke, this idiot here bought along a prisoner."

Sasuke looked up. "A prisoner?" That was something new. They usually never brought prisoners back to the tiny make-shift Uchiha village unless they could be of use to them.

"Yeah, evidently he's in love with the girl or something. The pervert was trying to see her bathing but she covered herself once she was aware of people watching and attacked. Juugo saved that idiot," Karin said, gesturing towards Suigetsu, "because the girl had good aim. Of course I say we should have just let her kill him so we wouldn't have to deal…"

Sasuke tuned out the rest of Karin's annoying rant. He got to his feet. Suigetsu walked forward holding a woman's limp body in his arms. "I'm not in love with her! I just thought she was cute. Yeah, we managed to knock her unconscious otherwise she obviously wouldn't come…" Suigetsu murmured to himself.

Sasuke gasped. The woman had pink hair and was wearing a red uniform. On her head was a Konoha shinobi head protector. Sasuke was sure if the woman was awake, her eyes would have reveled emerald green eyes because the young woman was… it was none other than his former team member, Sakura Haruno.

Dum dum dum! Review and let me know if I should continue... things will definitely heat up with Sasuke and Sakura in coming chapters!

A quick note about the characters: I am trying very much to keep the characters in character as much as possible. However, the characters will progress in my fic and therefore might seem a little OOC here and there later on but that's just how I see them growing. On another note (and I do apologize for all the notes but hey, I can't help it) the characters of Team Hawk are kinda hard for me to write about since they have not yet appeared in the anime so I'm pretty much going off of their personalities in the manga and then creating the rest with my own ideas. Thanks a bunch and please review!
