Chapter 4: Fun With You

Recap:

While the other Konoha-nins fought Hebi (Kakashi vs. Suigetsu; Hinata, Shino, and Kiba vs. Karin; Yamato and Sai vs. Juugo), the Kyuubi vessel focused on his former comrade. "Sasuke!!" he growled. He had already released the Kyuubi's chakra, three tails appearing; charging at the Uchiha with the Rasengan in his palm. Sasuke, having his Chidori ready and his second level of the curse mark, also charged towards the shinobi. It was déjà vu all over again, a complete repeat of their fight in the Valley of the End. If the two jutsus clashed, the result would be claustrophobic.

"STOP!!" A cry was heard as everything went blank…

'Sasuke…why am I always behind you…?'

"Sakura, stop. You're wasting your chakra." The ebony-haired Uchiha said monotonously. Team Hebi had been resting for a while now; after retreating from their encounter with Konoha ninja (a.k.a. Naruto's retrieval squad), the five missing-nins gathered along the banks of a quiet river.

"No, you're hurt. Just because you have Orochimaru's healing abilities, doesn't mean you can keep going without any rest. Especially after fighting Naruto." The pink-haired medic-nin persisted. She was currently seated beside him–him leaning against a tree—hand glowing green with chakra placed along his side. Sasuke had bruises, cuts, slashes, and wounds coving his body, all courtesy of Uzumaki Naruto. Sakura continued her work ignoring Sasuke's protests.

The rest of Hebi was resting on the opposite bank of the river. From the twos' distance, they could hear the bickering of the red-haired slutty bitch and the shark-like goof-off. The large orange-haired member was calm and was presently—ignoring his two other teammates—communicating to his little animal friends. (Juugo talks to animals.)

Silence took over the pair of former Konoha-nins as both knew very well what each of them was thinking.

Flashback

"STOP!!" A cry was heard as everything went blank…

It was as if time froze. No birds chirping, no animals running. No sounds heard… frozen. A gust of wind blew, silencing the two clashing jutsus. A whimper was finally heard. Then a sob.

"Please…Stop…" Tears ran down her angelic face as she mumbled her words. The two shinobi fell frozen, unable to comprehend what had happened. Both stood wide eyed seeing their jutsus fade and their power diminishing. The fragile pink-haired kunoichi clung to the back of the onyx-eyed nin sobbing.

"Sasuke-kun… Naruto…" her voice pleading as she croaked out—unaware that she add the suffix. Said shinobi turned around facing her. He peeked at her expression, his own heart tearing in two. Silent tears streamed down her innocent face as she continued to weep uncontrollably. He wrapped his arms around her small figure protectively yet comforting at the same time.

"Don't cry." He whispered. At that moment, it was just the two of them, in their own little world away from everything else. She looked up, meeting his eyes. They told her it was alright, to not worry. Then, she spotted something uncommonly seen in an Uchiha's eyes—reassurance, security. Trusting them, she let herself fall into his arms.

Naruto stared at them speechlessly as Sasuke turned around to meet his cerulean orbs. Black clashed onto blue. The chicken-assed-haired (A/N: LMAO!) ninja had his stoic façade on while still holding the girl in his arms. The fox boy read his eyes—eyes, not expression. Eyes.—comprehending that they were asking permission. He gave a sad smile, nodded, and then fell forward—unconscious and exhausted from the Kyuubi's chakra.

'Sasuke…why am I always behind you…?' he thought as a last message to his best friend.

Seeing his permission granted, Sasuke picked up his female teammate bridal style and sprinted off, only leaving his best friend one last message.

"Because I'm the older, and you're the younger…"

End Flashback

The two stared silently towards the ground, pink/black bangs shadowing their eyes. Silvery wind blew tenderly between them. It was quite, too quiet for boths' liking. Sakura's hand had stopped glowing green now, as Sasuke's wounds were finally healed. They sat motionlessly, concentrating on their thoughts…motionlessly until someone broke it.

"Sakura…" Sasuke started, eyes still fixed to the dirt ground.

It took a second for Sakura to compose herself again and then answer. "Hai Sasuke?"

"What do you think of me?" Sakura was taken back a bit. Not only was it that Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke—so called stuck up, ice cold, chicken-ass haired emo bastard heartthrob—started a conversation, but he had just asked a question out of the blue.

"Truthfully." He added.

"I think…" she began, trying to find the right words. "I think you're very unique, in a way." She took a pause before beginning again. "You're very quiet and apathetic. You like your tranquility and peace. However, you do act like a bastard—very much in Naruto's case—and you're too stubborn, arrogant, cocky. You have a limited vocabulary—with the hn's and the aa's—and you think of your Uchiha pride too much—egotistic. Once you set your path you won't look back and just head for it. You're consumed by revenge—making you blind to what you do. You seem to not understand the pain that you cause to others when you're so into killing your brother…power-hungry…" she trailed off, tilting her head up towards the crystalline sky. Sasuke stared at her now, taking her words into considerate thought while he averted his eyes off her, gazing at the ground again.

"On the other hand…" the pinkette began again. "You're very admirable; strong, and powerful too. If you set your mind on something, you would go all out to accomplish it. You would protect what is precious to you; loyal, determined, gallant. You're an honorable ninja, and a respectable role model too. You know what it takes to be a true shinobi… a true friend…" It took some time for the words to sink into Sasuke. He glanced at her again, observing her optimistic smile towards the endless sea of blue. It seemed she felt comfortable talking about him—both the positive and negative. 'So I see, that's what she thinks of me…' They both sat wordlessly again, reflecting on the subject in mind.

"Sasuke-kun…?" The missing-nin looked up, meeting emerald orbs boring into him.

"Hn."

"What do you think of me then?" The question caught him a bit off guard. Of course he had expected Sakura to question about his motives for asking his question, but he'd never thought she's ask him back. It took a second for him to answer her back.

"You're annoying." Once he answered, he'd expect his teammate's face to appear disappointed—rejected; resembling her 12 year-old self. Again, surprise came over him; she was smiling, and chuckling.

"Ha-ha, where have I heard that before? Typical." Sasuke glared at her mocking tone. He let out a deep sigh, calming himself.

"Hn. You're annoying, annoying but strong." Sakura shut up that very moment, jaw hanging, eyes wide, mesmerized. Seafoam green gawked at the man sitting beside her. "You've changed Sakura; you're not the weak 12 year-old girl I left in Konoha. You've grown stronger now, more skilled. You have inhuman strength, and medical abilities. Like a true cherry blossom, you've bloomed into a true kunoichi. Sometimes you let your anger and temper get the best of you, but you will always find a way to make a person smile. You know how to be with people, how to get along—unlike me. (A/N: LMAO!! Sasuke just admitted something!! That's a blow to his ego…) You will always have a place somewhere—a place in a person's heart. Idolizing, gifted…beautiful, perfect…" He trailed off into his thoughts. Sakura eyed him sincerely, being thankful of what he said about her. One part of her still couldn't comprehend his words, while another part felt uneasy for him to pour out his words just like that—very out of character for the egotistic bastard she knew. It was probably the most he's spoken in years.

"You're bluffing." She said, dubious. Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts, sending his Uchiha Death Glare towards the cherry blossom. He hated it when people don't take him seriously. Without thinking, he pulled Sakura into a lip lock—proving his point.

Sakura was stunned—scratch that, Sakura was staggered, shocked, completely bewildered. If her mouth was not locked with Sasuke's it'd be hanging down to the bottom of the Earth. The Haruno Sakura—normal Konoha kunoichi with nothing special that was once considered weak before—was KISSING the Uchiha Sasuke—Uchiha prodigy, jackass bastard heartthrob famous all across the shinobi world for being the last Uchiha clan survivor!! It was like, like, OH MY FUCKING GODD!! I WON THE LOTTERY!! Like, like, whoa!! Fangirls would scream, and die, out to kill and bitch fight Sakura if they'd seen this. Fanboys—yes, Sakura has fanboys—would be completely envious of the last Uchiha survivor, dieing to be in his place right then and there. Naruto would yell and scream saying it was no fair for him and hate Sasuke for it and Rock Lee would cry and scream that he'd lost his precious 'youthful cherry blossom'. Inner Sakura was currently freaking out, ranting, fainting, killing herself just to believe it.

'OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! AHHHH!!-insert fangirl squeal- WE'RE KISSING SASUKE!! WE'RE KISSING SASUKE!! EEEE!!AHHH!! I'M GONNA FAINT!!' 'Would you shut up?' 'No! It's not everyday up get kissed by the Uchiha Sasuke you know!! SHARANNO!!' 'It's just a kiss. I betcha he's gonna pull away any second now.' 'Betcha not. Hey don't spoil the moment girl!! Kiss him back!! KISS HIM BACKKKK!! SHARANNO!!'

She kissed back, gently though. It was true, it's not everyday you'd get kissed by Sasuke—better make the best of it when you get the chance. He snaked his arms around her petite waist, pulling her closer when she responded. Their kiss deepened, both dominating one's lips. Sasuke's teeth gritted Sakura's lower lip, asking for entrance. She pulled away right that second.

"You wouldn't want to get that comfortable. We're still hunting Itachi." She stated.

He gave a disapproving frown. 'Nice way to ruin the moment…' "Hn."

She knew. She knew it wasn't good to get Sasuke upset, especially since he enjoyed it—and especially to bring up his never-ending-hated brother. But if they didn't concentrate it would be worse.

"Although I can't help but admit I did enjoy it." That fact was for sure, she added. She loved it—he had such soft lips; if their lives weren't at stake, she would be totally addicted to them. They were each other's drugs, both not getting enough of them. Her cheeks burned at just the thought of it.

Sasuke smirked. He smirked and he kept smirking. The fact that Sakura enjoyed their kiss as much as he did was more than joy for him—he was happy. For nearly 10 years Uchiha Sasuke had lived with nothing but emptiness and loneliness inside of him, now he's actually felt peaceful and loved. He pulled the petite female again into his secure arms, hoping to never lose her and protect her for as long as he lived.

"Sakura…" his breath tingled her creamy silk skin sending shivers down her spine. He nuzzled his head into the crook of her neck inhaling her strawberry scent. "You're mine."

"Aishiteru…Sasuke-kun…"

'SCORE!'

End of chapter!! Wait for next time for chapter 5!!

Naruto: What!! It's gonna end like that?! I only got to see what happened between our fight!! How could you end it this way Yuki-chann?! -wails-cries-

Yuki-chan: NAAA!! Just kidding you guys!! Here comes the KARIN BASHINGGGGGSSS!! –shines flashlight under chin-evil laughter-

Late afternoon had risen by the time Sasuke and Sakura rejoined Hebi from their–err… moment. Of course the usual bickering of Karin and Suigetsu founded present at the time was stopped to a halt when their raven haired leader came into view. At this point, Karin was now attempting to 'flirt' pathetically to our poor Sasuke which look quite annoyed—and disgusted. Oh, by the way, when I say 'flirt', it's more of sexual harassment and ravage/rape than seduce. Poor Sasuke; stuck between an idiot shark and a fangirly whore-wannabe…pity him…

"Sasuke-kunn!!" Karin squealed flirtatiously. Sasuke shuddered at the pitch of her voice. Mann… she could be the whole MOB of fangirls in Konoha—who needs fangirls when she could be the whole thing all in one?! "Sasuke-kunn!! Lets go rest in a village!! And if there's a hot spring there, we could have some funn!!" She clung to his arm as if someone had put super glue on her—unbreakable unless you deliberately forced them apart.

"Rot in hell Karin." Oooh, too cold. Praises to Sasuke.

"B-but we'll have LOTS of FUN!!" she tried again, persuading this time. She never gives up does she?

Being completely ignored as she was, Sakura couldn't quite suppress the anger steaming inside her any longer. I mean, no shit—it was time for her to break them apart. Moments ago, Sasuke had just kissed her and claimed that she was his, but now… seeing a friggin' whore in front of her, shunning her completely away, and attempting to 'seduce' Sasuke… ooohhh… this means WAR!!

Undetected by Karin, Sakura landed a fist full of chakra into Karin's right cheek. And when a fist full of green glow plus inhuman strength hits a face, it's most likely the face is fractured or completely shattered. Either way, Sakura was mad, and she was mad indeed.

"AAHH!! –wails-cries- THAT HURT!!" Karin cried while being thrown back into a tree. She regained her posture and stomped feverishly towards Sakura. Standing directly in front of her, she stuck her index finger in Sakura's face ranting.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR PINK-HAIRED BITCH!!"

"Well I'm sorry, SLUT!! I wasn't quite aware that you wouldn't sense my punch, seeing that you're such a chakra dog!!" By this time, Suigetsu was rolling on the ground laughing his ass off like a monkey drinking Red Bull.

Karin's gawking mouth was wide. I mean REALLY wide. You could probably stuff an elephant down her throat if you wanted to. Sakura on the other hand, was smirking. Damn straight she was smirking. No way could Karin make a better comeback to defend herself now. Scoreboard: Sakura-1, Karin-0.

Abruptly, no one noticed that Juugo was trying to swat a fly buzzing around him in his little corner away from the group. The fly flew around him for a few seconds, left him alone to fly nearer to the group, and then buzzed a bit closer to Karin. And since Karin had her mouth dropped down to hell, well, you can kinda guess what happens next.

"-cough-cough-choke-choke-" Karin choked, and coughed, and did everything she could to cough up the itsy-bitsy fly down her throat. "Water!! Water!!" she begged, pleaded, and cried.

Hebi—who was watching closely at Karin—took no actions what so ever. 'Serves her right for trying to "ravage" me…' 'Damn straight. Only Sakura and her oh-so-hot body can!! Whoot!!' '-sweatdrop-' '–raises "Sakura's #1" flag-' '-ignores-'

'Bitch, why don't you swallow that fly while you're at it?!' 'SHARRANNO!! YOU GO GIRLFRIEND!!' 'I feel sad for that fly though…'

'HAHAHAHA!! LMFAO!! DIE WITCH!! DIE!!'

'Karin-san seems to be suffocating. I wonder why Sasuke-sama doesn't want to help…'

While everybody in Hebi was chatting to themselves in their own little worlds, Karin—suffering from lack of oxygen—passed out cold on the dirty ground, lone and forgotten. Sakura was the first to notice the sudden peace.

"Hm? Ano, Sasuke-kun, Karin's out cold." She announced. The men of Hebi flicked their heads toward the innocent pink girl standing above and pointing to the unconscious red bitch—which was now blue from no oxygen entering her lungs, by the way.

"Leave her." the Uchiha ordered. "She can rot there for all I care."

"Hai…" answered Sakura, as she quickly caught up to Sasuke whom had begun moving.

.o.xox.o.

Note: I SUCK at Karin bashings. Now that I've just realized that. I cannot do evil like Chikako-chann. –smiles-hugs chikako-

OK,OK. I tried. Tried to be evil by choking and leaving pity on Karin, but I failed. However, I just HAD to but that little SasuSaku fluff scene in there. –smiles again- Cheers!! Hmm… oh right, by the way, if you guys don't understand the "Because I'm the older and you're the younger" part, no worries. Its gonna make sense in due time. –smiles-

I don't do no evil.

PLEASE REVIEW!!

Yuki-chan: Happy Naruto?

Naruto: Yeah, yeah. Gimme ramen!!
