Dear readers, I have noticed that some of you are very harsh to Sasuke and Sakura. Please be patient and you will see them as you haven't seen them before. Why do you think that she shouldn't fall in love with him? I clearly explained that he didn't rape her… I will do my best to change your mind…
A woman different from the others
The castle of Konoha was built hundreds of years ago in the most beautiful spot the ancestors could find. In the south, where the main gate was, laid the big town of Kohoha that consisted of colorful buildings and traditional houses. In the east side you could see the green land with the little farms and some parts of the forests. The north wall stood in front of the port, where the ships were kept and smelled like the sea. As for the west, there was no wall, but only the delta of the Konoha River.
This spot Tenten had chose for her blacksmith area. Sasuke had gave her a large room with huge windows, so that she could have light and overcome the heat from the fires. From the windows she could see the river and a little of the see. At nights she went there to wash out the sweat and the ash from her work.
Her weapons were known worldwide and she made alone all the blades and arrows of the Konoha army. The walls of her lab were covered with the prototypes and Sasuke himself spent a lot of hours there.
Lately she had discovered a new type of metal that was very strong but quite light and she was experimenting on that, so she didn't hear Neji's steps on the stairs. As usual he didn't knock and entered on his own, but didn't move from her door.
Tenten was hitting a shield in front of the fireplace and had removed her jacket to work with a loose grey tank-top, that was now wet with her sweat. He stared for a while and then shook his head to get rid of the dirty images in his mind.
"Hey!"
Tenten turned her head away from her work and found the source of the voice and wore her most obviously disappointed face. Then she let the metal cool away from the fire and opened her windows.
"What are you doing here, Hyuuga?" He came closer to admire her work, but kept his face bored.
"Sasuke sent me to you."
"I always suspected that he hates me." That made him smile. "What does he want?"
"He wants you to finally understand that he is the boss around here and you have to ask for his permission before acting on your own."
Tenten sat on her desk and sighed with an exhausted grimace. Her long legs attracked his attention immediately as she crossed them. "What did I do now?"
Neji smirked and approached her even more. His hand touched carelessly her knee, but she didn't seem to care. "You invited his new fuck-toy to live with you, didn't you?"
Finally he managed to get in her nerves. She pushed him away, but he brought his face so close to hers that he could smell her breath. "Can you please stop talking like that in front of me? I am a woman, not your buddy."
"A woman, you?" His weird eyes always managed to make her dizzy. It was like he could hypnotize her with them. But she hadn't lost her fighting spirit.
"Kind and gentle don't work with you, so… Don't ever talk for a woman like that, you asshole. She is not like the sluts you are used to and I like her. Tell Sasuke that he should treat her better, too, and you both remember that I am the one making your weapons, ok?"
He suddenly stiffened and let go of her. "You understand that she is the enemy, right? I and Sasuke are your friends for years and you shouldn't threaten us."
Tenten had calmed down as he took some distance. "Every woman needs some respect, Neji."
"Even the harem ladies?" He knew well that she hated the harem. In her eyes they were insulting her sex. Tenten grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer again. She opened her crossed legs to make him stand exactly between her legs as she sat on the desk.
"No, you can talk to them and use them as you please…" She tried to imitate their slutty voice, but it was just funny.
Neji lowered his head and whispered in her ear. "You may are a tough girl, but you would love to be treated like them. You would enjoy it even more than them…"
Before Tenten could mutter a respond he was already at the door. "Sasuke allowed her to stay with you, but be careful, Tenten. I don't trust her." She then heard his steps leaving and sighed.
She was used to this sexual play between them. They had known each othe since childhood and their constant fighting had turned into this. Neji was looking for his obedient wife, who would pop out his children and avoid talking, and Tenten was secretly looking for someone who would treat her as equal but let her boss him around. Their charming sessions were just a way to free her repressed sexuality and usually left her hot and wet for him. Neji was having fun teasing his virgin friend while forming his own fantasy and spent quite some time in the bathroom afterwards.
They were two people with very different dreams for life, but they secretly treasured each other.
That night Sakura woke up in the north side of the palace with a very strong need for her home. Her moving was fast and easy and now she was in a much more beautiful room with her private bathroom and a view to the sea.
But the sea of Konoha wasn't as nice as her own sea in Suna. She suddenly missed her cousins and friends, her maids, the local food, even the sand and the heat. She wanted to go find Tenten in the next room, but even she was a stranger to her.
It's all his fault.
The sexual desire didn't hunt her anymore and she could see clearly her rate of humiliation. A princess of Suna had turned into the worst kind of servant for the king of Konoha! She had lost honor, pride and respect in two days.
The loneliness brought her tears and she cried for some time, but then sadness gave place to anger. She was angry to her father for the war, but mainly she was furious to the man that took her from her home and made her fall for him.
But it wasn't true love. It was just sexual desire and she could fight it! From now on Sasuke would only see her coldness and anger. She would live in this castle as a princess and not as a pitiful human being.
The sea breeze made her shiver and she covered herself with a scarf. She looked outside the window and sighed. If she could run away, she would do it immediately, but she wasn't a fool. They would catch her and also take her for a coward.
So she was going to stay, but nonetheless make her own rules. The king had a harem, he didn't need her. And she hoped that she didn't need him either.
But she needed for sure her family. She wondered if her cousins were able to visit her with the new rules Sasuke had made. Maybe they could come and stay in his palace for a while. She was going to ask the king later.
No, I am going to demand it!
The next day Sakura stayed with Tenten all morning. She was trying to avoid Sasuke as much as she could. Tenten took her to the ladies' salons to help her.
She couldn't help but noticing that nobody seemed to like her. The place was full of older ladies drinking tea and chatting loudly. They all seemed quite self-satisfied and she only got disgusted looks from them. Weirdly, even Tenten seemed to be hated by them.
The two girls sat in a couch and waited for coffee. Tenten noticed her look and said quite loudly "Don't mind them, Sakura! They are late Queen Mikoto's friends and the run this house. Sasuke doesn't like them, but they take care of the meals, clothes and parties."
Some of them heard her and shook their heads angrily. Sakura wished she could be invisible sometimes. "Why don't they like you? You are very close to the king, right?"
"I deal with weapons not tea parties. They are unbelievably superficial and spend too much for my own liking." Those words were also quite loud and three women with huge dresses on their left side stood up and proceeded to leave. Sakura could see the difference between their fancy manners and Tenten who wore trousers and had her feet on the couch.
"Tennie!"
In the awfully quiet room a scream of excitement seemed like a canon. All the heads turned as another girl entered the room. Some ladies said 'hush' but she completely ignored them.
The new entry was blond and short with really nice curves and the shiniest smile Sakura had ever seen. She wore a simple purple dress and some jewelry and you could easily mistake her for a princess.
"Ino, come here!" Ino's light blue eyes stopped at Sakura who stared back and she immediately went and sat next to her.
"Are your hair real?"
"Y-yes…"
"Really? Wow! I've never seen pink hair before! Is it common in Suna?" Sakura's eyes darkened as she understood that Ino also knew what Sasuke was doing with her, but she lightly patted her shoulder.
"Don't worry, princess! It's not your fault that you are here! The king can't be unbelievable with women! How is he is bed? Kinky?"
Sakura's cheeks flashed and she couldn't find a proper way to answer, but thankfully Tenten threw a flower to Ino.
"Don't ever ask her that in front of me! What did you want?"
Ino's face lightened as she remembered what she had discovered.
"Naruto is gay!"
"What?" Tenten looked around to see if anyone was listening. "Our Naruto?" Sakura remembered that she had met the obnoxious blond the day before.
"I was out in the town for some cloth and suddenly I saw Naruto hidden behind some boxes and staring in a window. I stood behind him and wanted to scare him, when a door opened and Neji appeared in the window wet and with only a towel around his privates. He was spying at Neji's bath!"
Tenten didn't say anything and burst out laughing. "You are crazy! He was probably looking at something else!"
"No, I'm sure!"
"Naruto in love with Neji? There is a science fiction scenario!"
"He was looking in that exact window and after Neji got out of the bathroom he left!"
Sakura was also laughing with the other girls and had a great time when a servant approached them and cleared his throat.
"Miss Haruno, King Sasuke invites you to have lunch in his bed chamber."
"Tell your king that I already had lunch and people usually have lunch in a dining room. Also please ask him: Doesn't a king have any other job to do except having lunch with me?"
When the night fell, Sakura finally decided to return in her bedroom. She had spent the whole day walking around and reading, so she wasn't very tired, but she had nothing else to do.
Unfortunately for her she found Sasuke in there, waiting for her. He seemed quite angry and for a moment he scared her, but the she remembered her earlier decisions and found the courage to ignore him. That was the cherry on top for him. He had wasted all his afternoon for her.
"Who do you think you are exactly?" She went to the bathroom and started to undress closing her door in his face.
"I am Princess Haruno Sakura and I only obey my king's orders." Sasuke tried to open the door, but she had locked it.
"Do you understand that your king sold you to me for his freedom? I am your king now."
Despite her growing anger Sakura's voice remained calm as she answered. "My king gave me to you as a hostage. And you have my body, not my mind and spirit."
"In case you haven't noticed, I only want your body, not your spirit."
Sakura had to find something very clever to say. "The way you treat my body is embarrassing and unacceptable. I am not going to allow it anymore."
She clearly heard his ironic hiss and opened the door immediately. "Princess, I thought that you liked the way I treat your body."
Sakura's cold face and strict eyes as she got out of the bathroom confused Sasuke. "King Sasuke, I demand some of my closes relatives visit me here and secure my safety." Strong words, high chin, hands crossed on chest made Sasuke even more confused. For a moment he forgot that he didn't need to obey her.
"You demand? Do you think I'm your servant?" Sakura took her eyes from him, but continued her speech.
"I am your hostage and I have the right to protect my health and dignity. You can put me to jail if you want, but you will never take advantage of my body again. You have enough women already."
Sasuke blinked his eyes and cleared his throat. "So you refuse to obey my orders and come in my bed?"
"Absolutely."
"Then jail it is!" Her strict apathetic pose broke when she heard the word jail. She wanted to scream and beg, but her self-respect made her just nod.
"You prefer jail from my bed?" His eyes were so widened that seemed huge.
"Yes, King Sasuke." If you wanted me as a partner in your bed, I would gladly obey. But I won't become your property just like all the other sluts. I will teach you to respect me.
That's it! Everyone, thanks for your reviews. Most of them are fabulous and inspiring to me! Please tell me what do you want to happen at the end and what other pairings you want to see!
Sakura's cousins are Gaara. Kankoru and Temari, so you will see them soon!
Till then, love you all…
