Chapter One : Best friends

-

Sakura sighed in contentment as she snuggled closer to the warm body next to her. The hand that was massaging her butt cheek wasn't all that bad, either. She moaned softly as fingers rubbed against the inner surface of the crack that separated her butt cheeks.

Her eyes fluttered open, revealing glazed dark green irises. She skimmed the blurry sight before her. Sasuke, in his naked glory, was smiling at her.

He eyes flew open, and she gasped. Wait. Were those fingers wandering to her front? Sasuke's fingers massaged the abused lips of the part he had pounded into last night, cooing soft, comforting words into her ear.

Sakura let out a soft groan, before protesting Sasuke's advances. "Wait, Sasuke! I-I'm still sore," she blushed deeply at her own words, "Besides, I have to meet Naruto!"

Sasuke frowned. "But, you're aroused, aren't you? And…who's this Naruto you're talking about?" he hissed in jealousy. "You're mine!" He growled possessively.

"He's just a friend!" Sakura claimed.

"Since he's a friend of yours, he can wait, can't he? I'm not going to let you go out aroused and needy."

Sakura turned red. "I'm not needy!" She huffed. Sasuke smirked deviously. "So, you're aroused," he ended. Sakura pouted, thoroughly embarrassed by Sasuke's words. "You're so cute," Sasuke smiled softly.

Sakura's ears turned pink and she turned away. Sasuke slipped a dry finger into her. "Ah, that hurt!" she glared, but was unable to stay angry as Sasuke kissed her deeply. 'Sakura!' She scolded herself. 'You're supposed to be stronger than this.'

Then, Sakura realised something. She could never go against Sasuke, because, of all the things she might have done, she had fallen in love with him! She briefly wondered what would happen when Sasuke knew what she was.

How was their relationship supposed to progress from now?

"Naruto! I'm sorry I'm late," she puffed, tired of running. Sasuke stood behind her, surprisingly unruffled by the long run.

"It's fine, Sakura-chan! Who's that?" Naruto peered curiously over Sakura's shoulder, staring pointedly at Sasuke. "This is Sasuke, my…um," Sakura muttered. She couldn't say he was her boyfriend, or lover, because he wasn't yet! They had not classified what last night was all about.

"I'm her lover, stupid," Sasuke, who was silent throughout the whole conversation between the two friends, suddenly spoke up. "I see," Naruto narrowed his eyes. "You act like a bastard, with your rude attitude."

Sakura gasped in surprise. "And you, blonde boy, act like a clueless idiot," Sasuke finished, glaring darkly at Naruto. "Why you-" Naruto growled, only to be cut off by Sakura, who said, "Calm down! Sasuke-kun, Naruto." Both the blonde and the raven's eyes softened.

"Just let me talk to him for a while, Sakura," Naruto spoke, using Sakura's first name to let her know he was serious about this lover thing.

"B-But!" Sakura eyes showed worry. "We won't fight, right, bastard?" Naruto's eyes twinkled, and he grinned widely at the stotic raven. "Hn," Sasuke glanced with slight curiosity.

"Sasuke, was it?" Naruto asked, after dragging the raven to nearby alley. "Hn," Sasuke answered. "Of course," Naruto said, voice dripping with sarcasm.

Naruto gripped Sasuke's collar. "Listen, I'm here for business. With you," Naruto said lowly. "Hurt Sakura? You die, by my hand," Naruto turned his eyes, that were tinted red to Sasuke's obsidian ones. "I won't," Sasuke promised, slightly intimated by Naruto's threatening tone.

Naruto smiled warmly. It wasn't his nature to be mean to a stranger he had never met before. "Now that I know you," he started, " I've come to a conclusion."

He slung an arm around Sasuke's shoulders as he led them back to where Sakura was frowning with worry. "We're going to be best friends, you know?"

"Of course not," Kiba laughed loudly. "My house isn't that messy."

"Well," Naruto stated, grinning, "I hope Sasuke doesn't decide to have some fun in your house."

Sasuke snorted, now used to Naruto's occasional teases. "You know me the second best," he sighed.

"Who's the first?" Naruto teased. "You aren't cheating on me, aren't you? Sasuke hunny bunny?"

"Eugh. Are you going all gay on me, Naruto?" Kiba waved Naruto away. " And with Sakura's potential husband,too?"

"He's joking," Sasuke rolled his eyes. Maybe he shouldn't have decided to go to Naruto's house, leaving Sakura all alone, at home.
