Hey, just another story I thought of...it's pretty much a rough draft, if you like, then review and I'll write more, but if not, I will delete. I'll just work on my other crap stories. Enjoy!

An Unlikely Place to Find a Maid

It had been a long day for Sasuke Uchiha. He was exhausted, and his body seemed to shake from it. He lay in bed wondering if there was anything he could possibly do to get help, or at least have someone help him. Sigh…but everyone was busy. Everyone had their own agenda in Konoha. Nobody could help him. Unless…hmm… His mind wandered through every possible, until he came to one. The brothel. Surely, someone there could help him. There had to be some sort of motherly woman there who could help tend to his friend. Sigh…

Sasuke: "Naruto…why did you have to be so stupid? Getting yourself hurt like an idiot…"

Although harsh in words, Sasuke could not fully blame Naruto. Naruto was on an s-ranked mission when the whole thing started. He and other friends on the mission encountered a ninja with strong chakra control and power. Naruto was fine, but…the others needed a lot of guidance. And so, when the deadly ninja aimed to kill one of his teammates, Naruto intervened and got hurt in the crossfire. He was now paralyzed. He couldn't walk, eat on his own, or even talk coherently. Sasuke grimaced at the thought. His teammate, no, his best friend was paralyzed, and even Tsunade said there was slim chance he'd go back to normal. His days as a shinobi were over. But as the days went by, Naruto got better and better. His speech was slurred, but Sasuke could understand him better. He couldn't eat on his own, but his chewing and swallowing were a lot steadier. But walking…well, that was a big MAYBE. His toes could wiggle again, but that's all.

Sasuke had been taking care of Naruto. Tsunade informed him that the hospital was overcrowded, and they just didn't have room for him. So, Sasuke took him in and has been taking care of him for over 2 months. But he couldn't handle it anymore. With his tiring missions and taking constant care of his friend, Sasuke had no time for himself. He was going crazy. And so, Sasuke decided it was time to hire some help. There wasn't really anyone in Konoha who could help him… The list:

Ino-married to Shikamaru; has kids

Hinata-currently residing in the Sand Village with Cousin and father

Shino-too weird

Kiba-partly in charge of the Chunin Exams; too busy

Rock Lee- are you kidding?

Tenten- helping out at the hospital with Tsunade

Choji- please

There just wasn't anyone at the moment. So…the brothel house in the forest couldn't be too bad a place to find a suitable woman? Right? It was already decided. Sasuke would go to the brothel house tonight to find a suitable woman for the job. That way, he could relax and train more. He still needed power…

o.O.o

He would go at night. That way, nobody could suspect anything. Sasuke didn't exactly want to go to the brothel house, but he figured there was no other way or place. In the dead silence of the forest, Sasuke ran atop the trees, searching for the small and rundown building made into a brothel. Smoke. He found it. The house was more rundown than he remembered. The bricks were crackling down, the roof had holes, and there were weeds running through all the cracks marked on the house. It was a dump to put it simply.

Sasuke: "Hard to believe there's a brothel situated here."

Jumping from the high trees, Sasuke landed softly on the ground and continued to the poor excuse of a business. The door handle was old, and starting to mold (it was made of wood). Turning it gingerly, Sasuke entered, and was appalled by the appearance inside. Floors were cracked, walls were molding, and everything inside smelled old and stale. Women were crudely laying about the place, either with a robe or some folded sheet strapped across their bodies. There had to have been about 15 women in the place. Some were pretty, others were eh, and then there were some that didn't look human. From another door, an older woman appeared. She was dressed nicely, and it looked like she took very good care of herself. Dressed in a silk green robe, the woman noticed Sasuke and embraced him with a warm welcome.

???: Ah!! A customer!! How wonderful!! Haven't had one in a while. Come on in, I have a room for you!!"

Sasuke: "Umm, actually I'm not here to…"

Zola: "The name's Zola!! I have a girl all ready to 'greet' you. She's one of our prettiest workers!! I'm sure she'll make you smile!!"

Sasuke: "Old Hag, I'm not here to…"

But before he could say another word, he was thrust inside a bedroom that seemed to be well taken care of. This must have been the place where money was made. Sasuke looked about the room, while listening to the locking of the door. The old woman must really need business for her to lock the door. Perhaps she meant it for privacy? Nah. Anyway, Sasuke found the room to smell a whole lot better than the room before. It smelled, well, cleaner, and the walls seemed to have been fixed and made stronger for support. A flash of pink caught his eye. The room was dark, only a candle was lit. He saw, on an old-fashioned bed, and on it, a girl with cherry pink hair sitting timidly atop. She looked to be Sasuke's age, perhaps a little younger, and her eyes sparkled in the candlelight, making her look angelic. She wore a blue, satin robe with ribbons placed in various places. It looked in better condition than what the other girls wore. She gasped as she noticed Sasuke standing in the doorway. He made no move until their eyes met. He walked closer towards her. The only thing she did was lay down on the bed, tears in her eyes. Sasuke stopped and frowned at her.

Sasuke: "Umm…this isn't going to happen."

Sakura: "What?"

Sasuke sighed and continued.

Sasuke: "We're not DOING anything. This was all a mistake."

The girl got up slowly and eyed Sasuke suspiciously.

Sakura: "You're…not a customer?"

Sasuke: "No, I mean, not really. I was just hoping to find…a maid of some sort."

Sakura frowned and cocked her head to the left in wonder. What the hell was this guy talking about?

Sakura: "You do know…that I'm a…well, a brothel…girl."

Sasuke snorted.

Sasuke: "You mean whore?"

Sakura blushed and looked away from his cold, onyx eyes.

Sakura: "Yes, I suppose."

Sasuke: "Sigh…well, you seem decent enough I guess. You got the job."

Sakura: "I've not even accepted."

Sasuke eyed her questioningly but then rolled his eyes.

Sasuke: "You mean you'd rather stay in this hellhole?"

Sakura replied quickly:

Sakura: "No! I don't mean that. I just don't like you assuming what I want."

Sasuke: "Well, I need help for something. And if you WANT to, you CAN have the job. It's not like I'm forcing you…"

Sakura thought for a moment and looked up at the ceiling. Sasuke noticed how short her robe was on her. He could almost see her…well…she was very visible. Her curvy legs hung off of the bed, and her robe exposed some major cleavage. Sasuke would have to get her new clothing. Sakura finally was done thinking and looked at Sasuke wide-eyed.

Sakura: "How long?"

Sasuke: "For as long as I need. Your name?" he asked randomly.

Sakura: "Sakura…What am I going to do exactly?"

Sasuke grunted impatiently and stamped his foot.

Sasuke: "Look, either you accept, or you don't. I need to get going. I'm sure your friends would take this opportunity…"

Sakura: "OK!!! Just, don't leave me here!!! I'll come!!!"

She got off from the bed and gathered some things located on a dresser near the bedside and stuffed it in a empty brown bag that was used as a garbage can.

Sakura: "We're leaving now?"

Sasuke: "We're leaving now. Oh, and my name is Sasuke Uchiha. That's all you need to know about me."

Sakura: "Fine. My name is all you'll know of me."

Sasuke: "Let's get going."

Sakura followed him shortly before grabbing his collar on his shirt.

Sakura: "Wait!! We need to escape. No way Zola will let me out of here. I'm her best…worker."

Sasuke: "So you spread your legs the most huh? Fine, we'll go out the window."

Sakura blushed a crimson red and followed Sasuke out the low window. Sasuke had hurt her feelings. She wasn't a whore. At least, Sakura never thought of herself that way.

Sakura: This man…his aura is so dark…I wonder if this is a good idea.

Finally outside, Sakura took a breath of the crisp, cool air surrounding her. She hadn't been outside in so long.

Sasuke: "I guess you can't run fast. We'll have to walk then."

Sakura: "…"

With his rough hands, Sasuke guided Sakura through the forest. It would be while before they reached The Village hidden in the Leaves.
