Prompt: Jealousy

Rating: T

Summary: Sakura finds out the hard way how possessive and jealous an Uchiha can really be.

Chapter 2: Jealousy

"Oh, Hiro-kun, thank you!" A pink haired medic exclaimed, accepting a large, colorful arrangement of flowers. It probably came from the Yamanaka flower shop, Sakura noted. The attractive, young doctor, Ito Hiro, gave her a shy smile.

"You're welcome, Sakura-san."

The pair stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say to each other. Shizune had mentioned to her a while back ago that Hiro carried a flame for her. Sakura didn't think anything of it, hoping that he didn't act upon it.

"A-ano, I was wondering..."

'Oh, no,' Sakura thought. Sure, Hiro was attractive enough... But she didn't feel anything for him.

"...I just wanted to know if you would like to go out sometime this weekend..."

Sakura stayed silent. She really didn't want to hurt his feelings. Things between them could become bad pretty fast if she didn't handle this professionally. It wouldn't be that big of a deal, but they often worked together during operations. Sakura sighed and ran a hand through her coral pink locks. Hiro looked rejected and she started to feel guilty.

"...I understand if you don't have time, Sakura-san! You must have a pretty busy schedule!" Hiro finish, giving a pretty lame laugh. He rubbed the back of his neck, feeling pretty dejected.

"Hiro-kun, I have time on Saturday afternoon..." She just didn't have it in him to reject him, especially when he looked so sad. Besides, it wasn't like she had anything better to do. Plus her love life was pretty lacking.

"I have to pick up some groceries and run some errands, if you would like to join?"

"Of course! I-I mean, sure, Sakura-san. It sounds like fun! I will see you tomorrow then?"

Sakura nodded slightly.

"Kami is smiling down on me today- I mean... Er, see you then!" Hiro flashed her an awkward smile and blundered off in the opposite direction. Sakura had a bad feeling about tomorrow, but decided to shake off the feeling...

"What the hell was that?"

"GAH!" She wasn't expecting a familiar resonating voice coming from behind her. "What the heck, Sasuke! You can't just sneak up behind people like that!" Sakura turned around hastily and punched his shoulder.

"What are you doing here?"

"Who was that guy, Sakura?" He questioned, ignoring her question completely.

"You-you saw that?"

"Just answer the question or I will ask him myself."

Sakura groaned and began walking back to her office, knowing that Sasuke was following behind her.

"His name is Hiro-kun and he's a surgeon here."

"I gathered that much." Sasuke deadpanned. He walked into Sakura's office and shut the door behind him.

"It's really none of your business, Sasuke."

"We are teammates, Sakura. It is my business."

"Kami!" Sakura yelled, her hands clenching into tight fists at her sides. "You and Naruto are just the same! I'm going out with him tomorrow. There. Happy?"

"No. Call it off."

"I don't think so. You're just going to have to deal, Sasuke. You aren't my dad and sure as hell isn't my boyfriend. You have no say." Her green eyes were glowing with anger. Sasuke's glared hardened.

"Tch. Whatever."

He stormed out of the office, slamming the door closed. Sakura was sure the door had cracked from shear forces. She let out a small scream and fell back in her chair. Unfortunately, this always happened when Sakura was interested in a guy. She wasn't even that interested in Hiro, but Sasuke didn't have to know that.

XxXxXxXx

Sasuke was sure that he had gone mad. He was a freaking Uchiha for Pete's sake and he resorted to sneaking around, stalking her and that boy from work. She had even dressed up for him. There she stood, in front of a fruit cart, in a flowing, green sundress and strappy sandals. In all of the years he had known Sakura, not once had he seen her dress up.

Sasuke knew that he had nothing to worry about, considering Sakura kept a good distance between them. But, she had to be blind to miss the way Hiro-kun's eyes wondered her body. He had to keep his anger in check, otherwise he would face Sakura's wrath (not that he was scared of her or anything).

Sasuke was beyond pissed. He was paving the path for him and Sakura. It had been slow, of course, but she acted as if she didn't notice things changing between them! Sasuke had asked her to spar and train- something he would have never done a year ago. He went to her to heal mere scratches- just so they would have some alone time together. He walked her home from her shift at the hospital- which was so uncharacteristic of him. Then Hiro-kun comes and they're suddenly going out. Shopping. Together.

Honestly, Sasuke just wanted to beat his face to a bloody pulp. Sasuke watched from the shadows (creepy, much?) as she handed him some fruit to put into the basket. He smiled at her and brought his hand up to caress her pink hair. Sasuke gritted his teeth. They looked like freaking lovers!

'Grave, grave move, bub.' He growled and stalked off towards them. This guy was putting the moves on her! He looked as if he was about to kiss Sakura and that's when Sasuke control officially snapped. He pushed Hiro-kun back with more force than necessary before decking him in the face. The poor guy fell back on his rear end. Fruit spilled out onto the sidewalk from the fallen basket.

"S-Sasuke! What the fu-"

"Be glad that was the only thing I did!" Sasuke snapped cutting her off. Hiro laughed and wiped blood from his nose with the back of his hand. Sasuke glared at him. His fist was itching to connect with his face once more.

"If I had known that Sakura-san was involved with such a scary guy, I would have stayed away..."

Sakura rushed over and helped him up. She tried to inspect his broken nose, but Hiro swatted away her hand. He knew that it would make matters worse if Sakura were to dote over his injuries.

"I will see you at the hospital, Sakura-San." He nodded to Sakura and eyed Sasuke warily. "It was nice to meet you, Uchiha-san."

Sasuke said nothing until Hiro left. Sakura roughly grabbed Sasuke's wrist and pulled him into an empty alleyway. She didn't to fuel the already gossiping crowd of people.

"You have some nerve!" She reprehended.

"He was putting the moves on you! I couldn't just stand there and keep watching-"

"You were spying on me?" Sakura gasped.

"Tch. More like watching out for you."

"Ugh, Sasuke, I really just want to punch you right now."

Sasuke knew that she would overreact. The kid suffered from a broken nose; he would survive. He would not be able to vouch for Hiro's safety the next time he touched Sakura.

"You're acting like a jealous boyfriend, Sasuke," she whispered, looking into his eyes. Sasuke's arms caged Sakura's body. Her back pressed against the brick wall. He let out a shaky breath and leaned his forehead against hers.

"No wonder I can't seem to get dates." She knew her teammates were protective over her, but Sasuke possessiveness was new. Stupid boys and their stupid jealous insecurities.

"Whatever it takes to keep you to myself." Sasuke whispered before leaning down further and capturing her lips in a searing kiss.

Ending Notes and Junk:

The road to SasuSaku romance isn't an easy one, is it? Haha.

So, chapter 3 won't be posted as soon as this one. I want to be able to give myself ample time to review/edit my work. I've never been able to edit directly after writing anything because I will overlook mistakes. I'm thinking I will probably update every week (Tuesday) and, if I can, twice a week! Thanks!

Legendofhelentran: Yes, this is strictly SasuSaku, unless I throw a dude in there to give Sasuke a hard time, haha. To answer your question, I did find most of these prompts online and yes, please, send me prompts!

MellyLaughs: I'm pretty sure Naruto's drunken antics would find Hinata passed out from embarrassment. I'm unsure if I will be including lemons. While I love reading lemons, I don't know if I could write one. BUT, the fic is still rated M, so there will probably be some kind of sexiness at some point.

Myuuki Himazora: Sakura's resolve was strong, haha. But I wouldn't mind a Chibi Sasuke in my pocket.

Nana: Thank you for your review. I do know that I need to brush up on my grammar skills. I was just so excited to post and I made a lot of careless mistakes. But hey, here's to improving! :D

C.A.M.E.O.1 and Only: That's exactly what I was thinking while writing this! I imagine them getting kicked out of the bar for being so rambunctious, haha.

Rawr: Yea... it is pretty gross, but Sasuke was pretty shmammered. Honestly, there probably won't be a sequel to that specific one-shot. I didn't think of what to do afterwards and continued writing without thinking about making a sequel for Drunk.
