Fangirl Blues

Chapter Two:

The first thing she saw was Sasuke crowded around by a bunch of fangirls. Heart shaped eyes rested on him and his mind was obviously occupied elsewhere, because he didn't seem to notice her arrival. His infamous (normally chicken butt) hair hung loose and brushed against his face as he turned his head into her direction, she had no doubt he knew she was there. He was so calm, so relaxed, so unlike the boy she had gone to the Academy with so long ago, that it was almost beautiful. And while it wasn't a sight she was unaccustomed to, she still couldn't help but pause.

This would be the last time she would ever be able to do this.

And suddenly, Sakura forgot how to breathe.

The thought alone was almost enough to change her mind. It was simple enough: she could forget any of it ever happened once it was over – banish the thought from her mind after the deed was done – and continue their lives as if it had never happened. She couldn't bear to imagine living like this every day, coming home thinking about him every day. Because despite the trash talking that Konoha Weekly continued to print, and despite everything her friends thought, Sakura loved him. Kami, she loved the beautiful Uchiha traitor so much that it hurt.

But that was exactly the reason why she had to do it. Because, honestly, it was the best for both of them. She had to talk to him, even if it killed them, because she loved him and it wasn't right for this to go unsaid. They had to talk.

Standing outside of the fangirl rampage, Sakura tried to center and clear her mind.

Breathe in. Breathe out fear.

Breathe in. Breathe out anger.

Breathe in. Breathe out regret.

It was a quiet enough that Sakura thought she could finally calm down and concentrate on the matter at hand until...

"Sasuke-kun, I love you!" Uh, never mind.

"No, no, Sasuke-kun. I love you!" Sasuke ignored them as he sat on a bench surrounded by crazy, drooling girls. He hadn't had a wink of sleep last night. He knew they had been out side his window all night. Breathing, misting up the window, thank god for locks.

"Sasuke-kun, do you love me?"

Sasuke stood up from his seat on the bench and the girls backed up scared. Afraid he might do something. But Sasuke kept walking hoping he could train. Alone.

He couldn't eat or sleep or even shower without one of them by him. He doesn't even know their names. They talked so much they gave him a headache.

Sakura's eye twitched.

"Sasuke-kun, lets ditch these wannabes and get married!"

"No, get married to me, Sasuke-kun!"

"No, me!" Another screamed.

Sakura groaned.

Sasuke wasn't sure why he kept returning to that spot in the woods. Maybe it was because it was the quiet. Maybe it was to keep those crazy women off his back while he trained. Nope they followed him. Maybe because it reminded him-no.

It didn't remind him of the people and memories he abandoned. And it most certainly did not remind him of his old genin team, no matter how much he missed-no.

He just needed somewhere quiet to train. Yes, that was it. Sasuke went back to his sword and chidori violently at marked targets, ignoring loud squeling women who he kept seeing out of the corner of his eyes.

"Ohhh look at Sasuke-kun!"

"He's so powerful!" That comment, Sasuke liked but…

"If you don't get out of my way I won't hesitate to kill each and every one of you." It went silent. All was heard was the electricity from Sasuke's hand. Suddenly…

"Kill me first, Sasuke-kun!" A girl ran out to the crowd but another grabbed her and threw her back.

"No, kill me first, Sasuke-kun." Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

These girls are crazy Sakura thought. The girl from before came back and shoved the second girl. (A/N- Can't be bothered to give them names, LOL)

"Sasuke-kun's mine! He's going to kill me first."

"No, he's mine!"

"What are you talking about!? He's mine!" A girl from the back screamed. Then it all happened at once. Girls started clawing at each other, shoving, making others cry from insults. One by one the girls went down.

Sakura decided it would be impolite to leave now, so she continued toward him. Summoning her courage, she took a deep breath and approached him. But before she had the chance to do anything, she pushed passed dozen of girls to get to him. She didn't approach him any closer, however, afraid that she would change her mind if she did. "Sasuke!"

"Sakura..." His eyes were dark, aggrivated almost. He didn't ask her what was wrong and instead waited for her to speak. He watched in complete silence letting his eyes scan over her. His weapons were on the brink of becoming drawn if she seemed to be a threat or at least a problem. His dark eyebrows narrowed in silent puzzlement. She wasn't an enemy…but then just who was she to him? He wasn't sure what to call her anymore. It hadn't been that long since his return he had been released from prision and now currently on probabtion. In the past he had tried to kill her multiple times when she had gotten in the way and if he killed her now he honestly wouldn't feel a damn thing. No she wasn't an enemy but she wasn't a friend either...The young man tilted his head curiously; all the women were supposed to be fightng over him. But her she was standing out of the crowed standing her ground in front of him. Most people would run and cower at his presence some didn't even have the curage to look him the eyes. Obviously she was being brave or very stupid.

He let his eyes watch those emerald gems she called eyes. He noticed they had become more dull and less bright over the years. Signifying she had been through many hardships. His eyes flicked towards her weapons, shethed behind her lower back. It looked like an axe as he examined it. Why was she wielding a weapon like this? He had never seen a woman with a large weapon before. He scowled; frustrated at how strange this girl's actions were that made her a mystery. Something about her had gained his attention. An old friend she may be but she was still a stranger. To use his power around her would have consequences, and if a fight between them insued, she would indeed die from the powers he did possess. His thoughts flicked back to the women he was just about deal with recently. Had she seen that? He ignored the question for now but let out a string of whispered bitter curses instead. He stood there waited for her to speak if at all.

Her heart pounded in her chest. An eternity seemed to pass, yet it didn't feel nearly long enough. When she finally spoke her voice – strong, unwavering, confident – betrayed how she truly felt.

"Sasuke, we need to talk." She spoke quietly, though her tone made everyone freeze.

"What do you mean, 'we need to talk?'

Sakura glanced nervously around at all the fangirls scurrying about, trying to make their way closer to Sasuke. "Not here. Not with everyone around."

"What do you want?" he inquired faintly.

"Please." She muttered; but he didn't look convinced to go anywhere with her. Sakura glared at him, "Can I talk to you privately. Now?"

His eyes gave her swift puzzled look before emptying but nodded and led her around the corner.

"Awww...why can't he be more friendly?" The fangirls sigh.

"But, that's what makes him so cool!" another fangirl said in a dream like state.

Sasuke leaned against the wall folding his arms, "So, what do you want?"

Her hands tightened, "Go out with me." Sakura demanded throwing death glares at his direction though it was hard to see him clearly with the lack of light.

Sasuke stared, his eyes narrowed slightly, it took him all his strength to make out those two simple letters of the heartbreaking no. She toned down her attitude a bit over the past few years, and she was acting more mature then ever, but still, all their conversations ether started or ended with a Go out with me.

He hated every second of it. He hated the way she would have a smile on her face ninety percent of the time, or the way she just wouldn't let him go. He hated the fact that she can lose her temper so easily. The fact that it can take her years to realize something. He hated the way her eyes would sparkle every time she looked at him. He hated looking at her face every time he would say no to her, and even more that she would cover it up just a second later with a joke, even though her eyes fell silent, sadness flowing within them. He hated her. He just hated her.

"No." He replied calmly making her anger flare. He continued to stare her down with folded arms.

She rolled her eyes, "I'm not going to take no for an answer." She snapped, "Oh, excuse me. You wouldn't mind going on a date would you?" she let out a hollow laugh, just as bitter as it was empty. Her emerald green eyes darkened placing her hands on her hips. "I love you, Sasuke."

He looked calm remaining silent. For a moment, she could only admire how he could control his emotions so well. But then again, he was a Uchiha and if anyone knew how a Uchiha felt about something they could take advantage of it.

Sakura sighed unsure if he was going to answer, "I can't get over you. You're constantly in my head!" she yelled infuriated, "You had no idea how frustrated and angry I was for three years!" Sakura felt her eyes swell wanting to tear, she didn't like it. She didn't like how she could be so deeply in love with him. How could she love hime him when he doesn't feel the same way? She was a masochistic.

Wordless, she glared at the wall besides her unable to look at Sasuke in the eye. She didn't know if she could handle the blue depths of his eyes. Sakura knew that he was watching her, waiting.

"I love you even after everything you have done."

He nodded as if she had asked a question, "I know but try to understand…"

"So that's it? You only see me as a friend?" Saskue asked.

"Friends?" he questioned, "We are not friends. There is nothing between us."

That shut her up. Sakura tightened her fist wanting to punch something, though it was normal she always was a very furious person by nature but you know something about him did make her very angry. She glanced away, his voice was lower now. Uncertain she flicked her eyes upward meeting his gaze. Feeling foolish again, Sakura sighed struggling not to be overwhelmed by the direction by where their conversation had taken. Sasuke didn't love her. And she love him. But they weren't friend in the very least?

Sakura smiled letting out a weary chuckle rubbing her head, "So…you're saying that we arn't even friends?"

"It's best if you stay away from me." He answered quietly. His blue eyes seemed to regain his composure of being emotionless. And without another word, he turned around and past her leaving her there.

"Sasuke! Wait up!" He didn't.

"Sasuke!" Stop it! she yelled in her head.

"Sasuke Uchiha." The words were only a whisper, as he felt the tight grip of her hand on his arm.

"What?" He spun around intending on making some intelligent remark that would set her back long enough for him to escape, but it was all gone with the wind as he saw her face. The bottomless hazel eyes, that held ditermination. "I have a bone to pick with you! You arn't going avoid me like the time we were genin and damnit you're going to listen to me" Her voice surprisingly sending shivers down his spine.

"Why sound so surprised?" he said pulling himself together. She can't work him like a puppet on a string. No one can!

"I was surprised you didn't kill those girls. I was starting to worry if you were feeling sick." she joked, a grin spreading on her face. She worried for him. Hm, that would be wonderful if it weren't sarcasm, he thought.

For years since they were kids she had been penning over him for too long. No. He's been resisting saying yes to her for years now. He won't let himself break now. But those eyes... No.

"Even if I were sick, which I am certainly not, it is none of your business. So, if we're done here..." He turned to leave, but she grabbed him around his waist, pulling him back, his chest crushed against her hard making him go into a coughing fit but she on the other hand didn't feel a thing. She smirked as his eyes widened at her strength. That strong inhuman strength now holding him so close to her, their noses almost touched, their lips just a few inches apart.

"You're strong." he noticed, he could practically feel his bones breaking.

"Remember when I used to be weak and you had to be careful with me?" Sakura smirked agin, "Now I have to be carful with you." She whispered leaning in close but not touching his lips.

"What are you..."

"Go out with me."

"No." He turned to leave so he wouldn't fall into temptation, Sakura didn't let him escape that easily.

She held him tighter making him crush in to her chest harder then before again. "Sakura...can't...breathe..." he rasped.

Sakura let him go as he grimiced at the pain rubbing at his chest painfully, "Gomensai, I guess I don't know my own strength?" Sakura smirked triumpthly.

Sasuke glared at her.

"Go out with me." Their hands brushed and he could feel bolts of electricity in his fingertips. It took all his strength not to grab her by the throat.

"I will when pigs fly" he fake mocked and moved on.

Her fists clenched painfully at her sides before she lashed out at Sasuke holding him up by the collar. The Uchiha grabbed at her hands, trying to make her put him back down on the ground. Sakura gritted her teeth and held onto the young man a little tighter. "Sakura, don't make me kill you." Sasuke growled.

"Oh okay you want to see pigs fly huh? Allow me to give you you're first lesson." she said as she kicked him and he flew across the streets of Konoha

Suddenly, Sasuke Uchiha found himself asking a new question. Why did he keep saying no, when he could end this once and for all anytime. Why was he so determined to refuse all of her pleads? Why wasn't he saying yes every time she would come up to him. Why was she so damn strong while he was just kicked in the gut all the way across Konoha this very moment?

And then he realised. He was afraid. He was terrified that she had that much strength and power over him.

Sasuke took a few moments to register what had actually happened.

The bich kicked him. Kicked him. She was dead.

She was fully aware that she had stopped breathing as soon as she realized what she had done to him. She sat as still as stone like a mouse hiding from a cat. She didn't dare breathe, or move.

"You're going on a date with me me Sasuke. I'm not leaving till you do."

She saw him clench the muscle in his jaw and he turned swiftly around. His eyes bleeding red, she expected that intimidated most people, but seeing so many times as Genin, it didn't really affect her anymore. But as he glared at her that hard, she thought about dying just there on the spot.

She took a deep breath out but quickly sucked it all back in when he took a few steps towards her.

"No. I will not." He said icily, as the tomoe in his eyes spun furiously. Sakura fought the urge to look away under his stare and tried to match his stern gaze.

"Yes, you are," She said, surprised at her own confidence. His eyes narrowed more so.

Sasuke made a noise somewhere caught between a deep noise in his throat and an angered growl.

Sasuke lunged at her, she side stepped sharply and he suddenly acknowledged a fist flying at his face. The smirk was quickly wiped off his face as he briefly glared at the girl. He stepped to right and caught her fist in his left hand. He silently noted the burning sensation in his hand as her moulded chakra burnt his skin.

She really wanted to hit him.

Sasuke had to fight back the amusement threatening to show on his face. With another quick punch with the other arms Sasuke fluently caught it with his other hand. Smirking Sakura grabbed his wrists that held her wrists, "Awww look Sasuke were holding hands." She teased.

Sasuke glared at her, but his eyes widened when he realized what she was planning. With a quick flick of the wrist, Sasuke was flying in the air as Sakura held onto his wrist the next thing he knew he was lying on his back on the ground, looking up at the girl as she crouched beside looking down at him.

"So that's the way you want to play?" He said darkly. He slowly stood up but Sakura pressed a strong boot on his sternum keeping him on the ground. "Not so fast Sasuke." Sasuke tried with all his might to get up but it felt like a tone of boulders were weighing him down that it was impossible to even move.

"You are going to go out with me." Sakura finally said, after a moment of silence.

"Hn,"

"I don't just want you." She answered, "I need you,"

He gasped, and felt as if the air was being sucked out of his lungs. His heart, banging heavily against his rib cage, felt like it was going to give out at any moment. He heard her gasp, closing his eyes and turning his head up to the sky also before glancing to her when she realized she was hurting him."If you value every bone in your body you better think twice before messing me Sasuke." Sakura looked at him with remorse, "And I'm sorry what I just did a few moments ago."

"Forget about it."

They sat in silence for a while before Sakura started talking again. He sighed irritably.

"So… about that date?" She asked, her tone dying at the end of the words.

"You're going right? I don't want to have to force you." She clarified.

"Hn,"

"That's not an answer."

"I know."

Sakura sighed.

"I have things to do without you," he replied. He tried to get passed her, but Sakura sidestepped in front of him. He tried the other way, but she sidestepped again, arms folded, and that same look in her eye. Her smirk was starting to get on his nerves. He had no idea how strong this girl was. That smirk was wearing on his nerves fast. "This is getting old Sakura."

"I want you you to go on a date with me. I want to know why you won't say yes. What's so horrible about me that you won't go out with me? Or any girl, for that matter? If you're gay, just say so."

"I'm not gay and dates are stupid." He shoved her out of the way and started walking away. "Does that answer your question?"

Sakura gave him a punch to the shoulder and surprisingly, Sasuke discovered, it wasn't a bad one. "Not in the slightest." She caught up with him and fell in step. "So you don't like girls, and you don't like dates. You can still have a boyfriend without having any dates, so why don't you have a boyfriend? It's not like you're ugly by any means, I'm sure you could get one if you tried."

He glared down at her and walked faster, his feet stomping particularly hard on the ground on the way home. "Having someone you care about means you have to split your attention, and I only have four more years until I'm off probabtion, so I need to have all my focus on my training. I can't afford to be dating anyone, even if I wanted to, which I don't." He directed that last part at her, she could tell. "Missions and training comes first. And after I'm elegible to be a Konoha ninja again, I plan on getting a side job at the police force in my father's name so I can continue working after I am replaced. I have too much to plan for in the future."

"But there's so much more to life than training and missions!" Sakura exclaimed. Sasuke looked at her as if she'd just proposed that he become a normal civilian. "I mean, training is good just not all the time, but how are you ever going to have fun if all you do is train?"

"You don't know anything about me" Sasuke retorted. "There's always the excitement of a new challenge, and they make everything harder that helps you improve your skills."

"Sasuke," Sakura stopped in the middle of the dirt road, and surprisingly, Sasuke did the same. They faced each other. "Training is not fun. I mean, think about it. Don't you need to learn at least a little social interaction with people in order to be a good ninja?" Sasuke didn't say anything to protest, Sakura kept going. "And if you plan on getting a side major while you're at konoha police force, how would you balance your time? Would your training still take precedence?"

"Of course not–"

"So then why are you letting it take such precedence now? Because if you let it run your life now, you'll let it run your life later."

Sasuke was actually at a loss of what to say. She didn't have that smile anymore, he noticed. She looked entirely serious now, completely passionate about what he had just said. And, against his will, Sasuke was seeing some sense in what she'd just lectured him about. Something in his mind screamed at that and tried to replace his words with sense, but her reasoning was blocking the way.

"Go on a date with me to change your mind about me. I'll pick you up at your place at six. If on Friday or the next day, you aren't willing to accept another date, even out of pity, I'll let you go back to being your normal, mean self. Deal?" She stuck out her hand and held it there between them. He looked at it cautiously for a moment, then back up at her.

"This is stupid."

"Dress nice. I personally doubt you'll have any problem with that, but if you have any reason to worry, I'll give you as much time as you need to get ready." She bounced her hand in front of him again and raised her eyebrows. "Well?"

Sasuke felt all sorts of doubt and caution and worry start to rise in his stomach, but he quickly stuck out his own hand to shake before he could second-guess himself and put his hand in Sakura's. All of that doubt and caution and worry that had started to rise in his stomach? It increased tenfold when it should have been eased. Sakura nodded as if that sealed the deal and smiled. Not an all-knowing smirk, but a smile. "Great, we'll start tomorrow. No backing down, now!" And with those as her final words of parting, she bounced off to work.

Sasuke stood in place for a little bit, going over what had just happened in his mind and felt more and more like someone had punched him in the stomach. However, his final thought, after watching Sakura leave, was that tomorrow was Saturday.

Author's notes:

This is my first Lemon, I hope. I have several different ideas on smutting to take place between Sasuke and Sakura for future fics. I am not sure if this will be continued or not.

In case anyone noticed or cared, I prefer the spelling of come to cum. I just think it's classier… well as classy as smut fics can get. ;)

This is my first lemon fanfic (ever!), and I would love some feedback! Please be kind and leave a note! 3
