Sry that I haven't updated in a while, I let an old friend of mine convince me that I'm a horrible writer. Then a much closer friend slapped some sense into me, litterly. Then I got writers block. If you care about my happiness please review even if it's to tell me I should never write again. On that note let the story begin!

Depending on a rival chapter 3

After being introduced to the rest of the prisoners in the cell he was given a tour by Anastasia. He learned useful information during said tour, like how there was a person who used a special jutsu to unable others. The small mark on her ankle was proof of that jutsu working, which he had already received, only a high ranking person could unlock it. She explained how they knew when it was time to do what and how important being on time is. He was told he would be doing physical labor and starting tomorrow would be expected to know his way around and be on time. When the tour was completed she left him in the labor department with Marco, who snapped orders at him, leaving for the personal servant department.

A man had come in a few minutes late and guards appeared out of nowhere, snatching him up and hauling him way. He screamed and kicked, begging for mercy, for forgiveness but, the men acted as if he were nothing more than a doll with no voice.

"Look, see that guy over there he will be punished harshly. Being on time is very important." Marco snapped at him.

"I think I will be late on purpose tomorrow, they don't scare me." His tone was more than disrespectful but, still he had not seen the blow coming. It hit him square in the jaw, snapping his head to the side.

"Don't…you…dare! It is different for those with their cell captain in any servant department, especially personal servant! You must never be late or they will punish Anna! They will force her to do things…sometimes they even make the whole cell watch…," For reasons unknown this made Sasuke want to growl and the way the spiteful boy hung his head, shoulders slumped, slightly shaking did not help. "Anna is one of the prettiest of the servants and they enjoy making her suffer because of her strong will and spirit. The guards are under order to only do what is needed but if we give them the slightest chance… you must never break any law, ever!"

Sasuke felt guilty, he had judge the boy too soon. Thinking that he was just a brat, now he saw that he was worried what, as a new comer, Sasuke might do and get Anastasia punished. They did not talk for the rest of the working period. When the bell rang for lunch they walked silently to their cell's table. As the other two cell member, Dotu and Juki approached the table Sasuke was once again struck how much like a female the twins looked. Their hair was short but, dark green eyes and long lashes gave them a girly touch. They all chatted, the others giving Sasuke tips and advice. Suddenly, out of nowhere the mood switched from casual to protective and pissed. Looking up he saw why, a long cut ran down Anastasia's cheek that had not been there before.

"Hey guys," her voice was strained and pain filed "How was work today?"

Marco stood and took the heavy tray from her hands setting it down on the table as he pulled out her seat. No one uttered a word. All eyes were on the cut.

"What did they do?" Juki's question came out chocked. For endless seconds the question hung in the air without another word spoken.

"While serving master Kadis I had forgotten to take a patch of skin of a grape. It was a swift, light cut, and with my ability will be gone tomorrow." There was more silence then a strained whisper from Marco "Tell us all of what happened." Sasuke noticed the others hadn't relaxed. Not understanding he looked at Anastasia trying to find anything else out of place, then Marco's earlier words brought themselves to attention. The Uchiha was burning with furry now, what had they done to her!

"It wasn't as bad as I'm sure you guys are imagining. It was just a kiss, anyway it was my own fault so don't worry about it." Her tone was just as forced as her smile, one that did not reach her eyes.

"It's getting late, we should wait until tomorrow to ask them." Naruto's voice was strong and sure. Releasing Sakura, Naruto stood to leave.

"Um… it is pretty late and I have a guest room… maybe you should stay here tonight?"

Stay here? With her? How could I sleep?

"Thank you, it would have been a nuisance to walk all the way home."

Sakura showed him to the guest room before turning to her own room just across the hall. Once inside she began to change into her pjs, then headed toward the kitchen to cook dinner.

He's here…in my house… right across from my room. The boy I turned down so many times has now become the man I've fallen for. What am I going to do, I'm such a foolish girl.

A hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Watch it Sakura you might need that finger one day."

Looking down, the knife was indeed poised just above her pinky. Blushing she thanked him and continued cooking. While cooking she served herself and Naruto glasses of wine, and she was fast approaching her 6th. She shifted back in order to open the cabinet in front of her and meant a wall of hard flesh. She stilled, wanting to push back against him again but knowing she shouldn't, and yet…

She was pushing back against him repeatedly, slowly rubbing against him. He couldn't think. Couldn't breathe. Couldn't blink. Because the moment he moved, even the slightest inch, would be the moment he lost control. Sakura did it again and he couldn't take it anymore. He slowly turned her around and fused his mouth with hers. Picking her up, he walked to the guest room with their lips still locked.
