Summary (Can't decide on one): (NEW) All of their friends thought it was love, that both of them meant the world to each other...it wasn't. It was simply emotionless addiction. SasuSaku. AU.

This story contains sexual scenes, strong language and the drinking of alcohol (and occasional smoking, just incase some of you didn't know)

Disclaimer: ...I don't like saying it but I don't own Naruto, just let me pretend I do.

So, now that they had made a deal for Sasuke to help Sakura find a job and payment wasn't an issue anymore, the only other problem left were both parties sticking to their end of the bargain. You see, most people would think that the problem still standing would be the communication-issue between them, but don't worry my friends, Sakura had already taken care of that.

Which brings us to the early morning of Tokyo where businessmen and women were rushing to their offices, their assistances scuttling behind them whilst juggling coffee and portfolios in their hands, where cafes were preparing for their morning rush of customers and where our favourite man of the hour slept soundly under his covers, for now.

¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ Honey I'm Home ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦

Buzz. "Hmm" Sasuke grunted at the vibration on his bedside table. Slowly adjusting to reality, he shuffled around amongst the sheets stretching the sleepiness out of his muscles. Buzz. With his head in his pillow, his hand blindly searched for the cause of the disturbing noise.

Buzz. "Hn" he answered.

"Hey sex-buddy, how are you? Found any jobs lately?" a high and cheery voice spoke into the receiver. But not caring for who or more like what the person had to say, Sasuke hung up and placed the phone back on the table.

Buzz. "What" his tone was dangerously low as he grunted out his question that wasn't asked as a question.

"Hey sex-buddy, I take it you're fine, found any jobs lately?" the person asked in the same tone, one that deeply annoyed Sasuke. Again, he hung up. But before he had time to set his phone down on the table…

Buzz. "The fuck do you want?" he asked not so nicely, already aware of who the anonymous caller was but more concerned about how she had his number.

"I already asked"

"…"

"Found. Any. Jobs. For. Me?"

"Hn"

"I'm taking that as a, 'yeh of course Sakura dearest, I've found so many and I've placed all the options in a hat for you to take your pick" a faint snigger following after.

"Hn"

"Well don't worry we can discuss it in a minute, I'll come over"

"What" he narrowed his eyes imagining her there in the room annoying the hell out of him with her incessant chatter and high pitch screaming. And he asked for the third time since he'd met her, why it had to be him.

"Yeh, I'll come over"

"No, you won't"

"Yeh I will, I'm already half way there"

"Well turn around and go home" he untangled himself from the covers and stood to make his way to the bathroom. Gruffly walking across the landing, he continued to listen to her words just in case he said the wrong answer and ended up with an even bigger problem.

"Can't do that I'm afraid, that would take a while and I've travelled so far to be with you" she mocked, chuckling to herself. She heard the spraying of water and assumed the conversation would be coming to a close.

"I'll be gone by the time you get here" he spoke confidently but little did he know just how close he was to being wrong.

"We'll see" and she hung up leaving her happy tone ringing in his ears. Ignoring the sound of her voice in his mind, he stepped into the hazy cloud of condensation and started to wash away the morning numbness from his muscles.

It hadn't even been five minutes of peace and quiet before Sasuke heard a knocking resonate from his front door. He would have ignored it but the constant banging on the wood became louder and filled his apartment with an ear-thumping noise. Stepping from the shower, he reached for a towel to wrap round his waist and started for the door, the knocking becoming louder as he stepped closer. His temper was wearing thin and in a fit of rage he wrenched the door open only to see, yes that's right people, none other than –in Sasuke's words- the banshee herself, Haruno Sakura.

A slight rouge painted his face, however it was ever so slight that it was only visible with a microscope. Now this sudden blush wasn't one of embarrassment or admiration, but rather like one of anger, frustration and disbelief that she had obviously been in his building when she called.

"Hey mister, glad to see me?" she said making her way past him but was stopped by his reflexes. A hand was pressed harshly against her chest, preventing any move that she was about to make to step into his apartment.

"No" and with a gentle push, Sakura unwillingly retreated backwards. And just as he was about to close the door, he felt nails dig into his arm and imprint crescents in a row on his skin. He slowly cast his eyes down to look at her hand on the arm that was held up to grip the door. His eyes then travelled up towards her face, carefully tracing along her curves and cleavage.

"Remember our deal? You help me and I'll do anything you want" she said deviously "within reason."

Smirk. "How could I forget?" and he pulled her into his chest, his lips pressing hungrily against hers.

He pulled her past the threshold and pushed on the door, allowing it to swing shut with a 'click'. Sakura pushed her weight against his, forcing him to retreat into the kitchen but was stopped by the counter. Sasuke deepened the kiss and swiftly turned so that Sakura's back was pressed against the edge. There tongues collided in a battle of dominance. Sasuke helped undress her, flinging her clothes to the side and disregarding them completely in a pile nearing the archway of the kitchen. Sakura gently scratched her nails across his scalp, gripping his black locks and pulling him even closer to her. The heat became almost unbearable from just a kiss.

They took a breath but before Sakura could fully recover, he had lifted her onto the countertop and parted her legs to accommodate his body like a jigsaw. She was now in only her underwear and Sasuke still with a towel shielding his arousal. A small bump protruded from the material, the area becoming damper than the rest. Sakura took her bra straps down and slowly slipped her arms from the loops and twisted her bra so that Sasuke had a good view of her hardened nipples and clasp.

"Makes things easier" she said huskily.

"Hn" he smirked and unclipped her bra; carelessly throwing it to the side and letting it end up anywhere. Whilst he did this, Sakura watched intently at the muscles beneath his skin contracting and relaxing with every one of his movements. She licked her lips.

He inched closer to her heat and softly ground his hips into hers, eliciting an impatient moan from her throat. He was such a tease. The pads of his hands slid smoothly along her thighs, reaching her hips and the hem of her knickers, which he then rapped his fingers round and dragged down. Sakura lifted herself so that she was hovering and leaning on her elbows as he pulled the sodden material away.

Another piece of clothing added to the pile. Grabbing hold of her thighs again, Sasuke trailed his fingers along her skin as if they were feathers, light and ghostly. And with the same touch, traced his finger along her folds.

A light moan slipped through Sakura's lips as she felt his finger graze her opening. She felt a needy sensation spark through her body and bucked her hips into him, forcing his finger to slide inside her heat.

After pumping into her for a while, he felt her tightened around his finger. It was drowned in her aroma and soon she spilled out her pleasure onto the skin of his hand. She moaned a deeply fulfilled moan but wasn't able to catch her breath when she felt herself being lifted and secured to his chest. Her legs wrapped round his waist, pushing against the towel and eventually making it fall behind him. She could feel his hot, pulsing shaft creep near her entrance while he carried her towards a table. His vision was blurred by a wave of pink and he soon felt her lips locking with his, her tongue already inside and rubbing along the walls of his mouth.

Her hands went behind her to support her body as he lowered her and she brushed away anything that lay on the surface, one of which was a glass fruit bowl that was sent crashing to the floor. Sakura grunted in discomfort as her bum met the cold surface of the table but ignored it when she felt him at her core.

"Someone's eager" she whispered against his ear.

"Hn" and he pushed himself into her, taking her by surprise. His arousal reached the hilt and drove Sakura insane and made it difficult to swallow her breath because of the pleasure. Sasuke smirked and breathed in sharply as he felt himself heighten into the white light. He pounded into her roughly, caressing her breasts and occasionally squeezing them.

He felt her arms grip his, tightening her hold as she began to find it incredibly difficult to hold onto reality and her vision. The feeling of him re-entering her was amazing and after much fondling and thrusting, she found it unbearable to restrain herself. Her walls contracted around his throbbing shaft and he felt his arousal become wet with her pleasure, this making it harder for him to restrain himself as well. Thrusting into her harder and faster, he finally joined her in a cloudy bliss.

Sitting on one of his breakfast stools, now fully clothed, Sakura patiently waited for the sex-craving beast to appear before her and that wait was turning into a long one. She absently patted her nails into the surface creating a clicking sound, whilst her other hand was held beneath her chin, eyes bored and staring at the front door.

"Tch" she looked up to see a frown stitched onto Sasuke's face, the sudden look of frustration directed at the glass splinters littering the floor.

Her laugh caught his attention and made his eyes narrow even more. Whenever they had their fun they always managed to destroy one of his possessions and he would be left to deal with the aftermath, alone. Ignoring her amusement, he sat slumped in the stool opposite her with his arms crossed over his stomach, the position radiating his coolness. Sakura's hand moved from her chin and slid across the surface to take hold of the morning paper.

"So, seen any jobs I might be interested in?" she asked merrily.

"No"

"Ok…seen any jobs that have good pay?" her voice was lower, the cheeriness starting to wear off.

"No"

Scowl. "Seen any jobs at all?" she spoke with a new found aggression. It seemed that Sasuke hadn't been keeping up with his side of the deal and this discovery had turned Sakura sour. You would have thought that by now Sasuke had learnt to not get on the bad side of her but he couldn't resist a good battle.

"Hn" he evaded the question, fully aware that it would raise her temper. His thoughts were that it would be more fun for him.

"I see, well it's your job to help me you know, that was you part of the bargain"

"I don't remember signing a contract," he said maintaining his cool.

"Well, what about what just happened right there!" she indicated towards the table and smashed bowl "just call that a contract! We both willingly signed it! In fact, I think somebody was extremely keen to sign!"

Sakura wouldn't say she was shouting but more like talking in a louder pitch to 'add a better effect'. Sasuke however, would say that she was screaming at him and rubbed his ears to show how loud she was coming across because Uchiha Sasuke didn't use words to express himself, he was too good for that. Still, Sakura didn't care and continued to keep the same tone.

"Hn"

She breathed a sigh. "Think of it like this, the quicker you find me a good job, the sooner I'm out of your life…forever"

Stare. "Newspaper" she gladly handed him the paper and watched him look for the job offers page. Sasuke started talking his way through the list and she gave her answer in a 'yes' or 'no'.

"Dog walker"

"No"

"Dog groomer"

"No

"Dog trainer"

"I don't want anything to do with dogs!" Sasuke ignored her.

"Parrot sitter"

"The fuck?"

"Baby sitter"

"That sounds ok but I think I have a bad temper so I'm gonna say no"

"You think?" Sasuke muttered loud enough for her to hear but not wanting to allow him to provoke her, she brushed it off with a glare. She lessened the intensity when she noticed a smirk outline his mouth.

"What?"

"…" He just continued to stare in hilarity at the page.

"You found one?" she said with happiness lining her face.

"Aa"

"Oh my gosh, it has learnt another syllable. That would be a great headline and it would sell thousands," she said with fake shock. "Lemme see then" her hand reached for the paper but Sasuke pulled away, his eyes darting to her face. He scowled at her mocking but resumed his previous expression when he remembered the job he'd found.

"No"

"Wha-, why? Let me see" her body collapsed onto the counter as she leaned over more, her cleavage squashed and almost popping out of her top which Sasuke didn't miss.

"Hn" he grunted, leaning further back on his stool.

"Give it" she was close enough that her breath caressed his face. The next thing he did surprised her, he threw the paper behind him out of both of their reaches. They held each other's stare for a second before they each dashed towards the paper, Sasuke standing abruptly from his stool, making it tumble back and Sakura skidding along the countertop and dropping to her feet.

The paper lay innocently on the landing floor but was soon picked up in a scrunched hold by Sasuke, who felt a heavy pressure cling to his back and a pair of arms wrapped in a strangling grip round his neck whilst two slender legs wrapped round his waist. He slumped his back into her chest but the weight wasn't enough to topple backwards and he instinctively curled his fingers round her arms and forced them from his neck. But Sakura wasn't prepared to make this fight as simple as he assumed it to be and so she started to wriggle round his side and reach his front.

My friends, don't you think this would have been the perfect snapshot for an album? But unfortunately I don't have my camera with me. We could have shared the moment over lunch, such a shame.

Their struggle continued with the occasional grunt or determined scream. I'm sure you can guess who made each noise.

"Woman get off me" he growled.

"Give me the paper then!" she shouted all be it shakily because of the jerking he was doing.

"It's a surprise"

"I hate surprises"

"I don't-" he said with a struggle as she tightened her grip around his neck "care!"

"Well…I…do!" she puffed out. The fighting was beginning to grow tiring and Sakura's hold was weakening but with her last breath she squeezed her legs tighter around his thighs, which caused him to stumble forwards.

Now, I've never been one to talk about science but I feel it necessary at this moment. Gravity. Such a mysterious force, it's invisible but is constantly pushing down on us every second. So, when there is a battle of forces, there must be a balance between them in order for there to be harmony. However, when one force overpowers the other, the stronger one wins.

And because Sakura disturbed the balance between her weight and Sasuke's weight, gravity would have to work in favour of the stronger one. And this just happened to be the human ball curled up on Sasuke's back. Without a choice in the matter, both went tumbling down in this order: Newspaper-Sasuke-Sakura.

Sakura rolled off and lay there for a while to catch some air. Sasuke on the other hand was already standing up, the newspaper left in the umbra of his shadow. He went to the door and opened it until the hinges wouldn't allow any more movement. She didn't have time to register what was happening when she felt a pull on her legs and two talon-like hands wrap round her calves. Then before she could blink, she felt the floor slip under her back. He was dragging her across his floor! Oh dear me.

"HEY!"

He continued to pull her legs and moved closer to the communal hall. When she was out of his apartment, he quickly threw her bag to the floor.

"What the hell!"

"Bye" and he closed the door on her.

I previously told you that Sasuke had been raised to respect women but on this occasion, he thought that he could break the rules just this once. After all, she had attacked him and almost choked the life out of him so he thought it acceptable to dispose of her like that. It was to be expected.

"Asshole!" she shouted, Sasuke hearing her muffled cry and smirking when he thought how…shocked she would be to find out what her new job was.

"So he got you a job?"

"Not exactly-"

"What do you mean? Forehead you need a job now otherwise we can say bye to our apartment" Ino said with urgency.

"-He found one"

After Sakura was dragged out of Sasuke's apartment, she decided to discuss the issue with Ino and took a cab to her parent's flouriest where she was currently working part-time. There weren't many customers when she arrived and so they both decided to talk across the till.

"And what does it entail?"

"That's the problem, I don't know"

"So he just picked out a job and didn't tell you?"

"Said it was a surprise, damn bastard, arrogant jerk dragging me…" Sakura mumbled privately.

"Look I hate to be a bore but we really need money. What about you hospital applications? Any replies?"

"As of yet, none. There are so many fresh grads and everyone is apply at once" both looked down for a moment, realising how important it was for them to both have secure full-time jobs.

"Well I hope he tells you soon because bills need to be paid"

"Don't worry Ino, I got him right where I want him"

Meanwhile on the other side of town, Sasuke sat in the comfort of his living room with his phone held to his ear, engaged in a business discussion.

"So you want to begin working here?" a feminine voice spoke politely into the phone. As soon as he had uttered the word, Uchiha, to her she found it impossible to concentrate on the reason he had called. The reason why he had mentioned his surname was to make it easier for him to get Sakura the job.

"No, Haruno Sakura does"

"Ok, is there a reason that she isn't calling?"

"Yes, she has some family issues that need her attention at the moment"

"Right I see and who are you in relation to her?"

Pause. "I'll just tell you the situation. Sakura's father was hospitalised and being her boyfriend" he mentally cringed at the idea of them going out "I want to give my support in any way possible, so that's why I'm calling instead of her. I wouldn't have to if she hadn't refused my financial help but she's a stubborn one"

The woman was immediately captured by his 'heart-felt' speech and couldn't refuse him. "Oh of course Uchiha-san, Haruno-san may start as soon as she can" she spoke in a light laughter.

"Thank you very much, I appreciate it and I know she will to"

"The pleasure is all mine" her tone sounding slightly flirtatious.

"But there is one thing I'd like to check"

"And what might that be?"

"Uniform"

"I still can't believe you haven't been accepted anywhere yet" Ino said in disbelief "You were an honours student, how could they not have gotten back to you?"

Smile. "Give it a while Ino-pig, I only submitted my CV a few weeks ago. And besides, they probably want people with experience"

"Well how the fuck do they expect to find people with experience if they don't allow the inexperienced to become experienced!" her voice had become louder. The shop had been empty for a few hours and this meant Ino and Sakura still had time to dwell over their financial problems.

"And somehow, I understood that" both laughed "Anyway how's your job search going?"

"Terrible. The only physiatrists that make any money are ones upstate where your lover~ lives. Everything else is a waste of time"

"One: he isn't my lover and Two: it's the same experience problem again"

"I kn-" Ino was interrupted by the ringing of Sakura's phone. Sakura fumbled through her bag, following the sound that seemed to be coming from the bottom. Just her luck. Finally locating her phone in the tampon, makeup and gum filled jungle, she quickly answered it when she saw the caller id.

"Hey babycakes" her voice adopting an expectant tone.

"Hn, you have a job"

"Really!"

"Aa"

"Oh my gosh, I wanna hug you!" she was overwhelmed with excitement. She couldn't believe that he of all people had replaced her job.

"Hn"

"Ok well, thanks, bye" they both hung up the call, Sakura and Ino having a mini celebration over her new job and Sasuke smirking at the thought of her reaction. He suddenly had an idea and decided to call Naruto to start arranging his fun.

Sasuke sent a copy of the address via text to her and she couldn't stop the overwhelming anticipation that brewed inside her. She was so excited and because of what he had done for her, she couldn't help but respect him. He had acted as a gentleman and kept his promise, which surprised her deeply.

I can assure you that their deal was far from finished, unbeknownst to them. And even though the job that Sasuke had found her wasn't entirely good, he was oblivious to the extremes that she would result to in 'getting' him back. How I wish I could tell you now but that would only spoil the fun and I don't want to be a killjoy.

So Sakura the next morning set off to her new place of work with curiosity and when she entered the district, she couldn't help the uneasy feeling that loomed over her. Just where was she working?

Her legs carried her to the specified address and hesitating for a moment as she looked at the place that stood shrouded in fluorescent lighting, she opened the door and was greeted by a woman on roller-skates.

"Hello there" the woman said gleefully, swaying gently on the wheels of her shoes.

"Hi, I'm Haru-"

"Haruno Sakura? Nice to meet you, I'm Dina your boss. Let's get you dressed" she wheeled of with Sakura's hand in her hold and went through to the back room, "This is you uniform" the expression on Sakura's face was one that couldn't be described with just one word.

Handing the uniform to her, her boss added "Oh and I forgot to say, welcome to-"

"-Dina's Diner, a step closer to American cuisine" faint shouting echoed along the street that Sasuke and Naruto walked down, Sasuke with his hands pocketed and blank-filled face whilst Naruto had his hands rested as support behind his head and was pursuing his friend about the reason for their being downtown.

"Hey teme there better be ramen at this place"

"Hn"

"Because if there isn't I'm not gonna be happy"

"Hn"

"Tell me again what they serve here?"

"I'm not repeating myself dobe" he sighed, the irritation now clearly displayed on his face.

"Don't be a t-, hey look at that," he pointed with a laugh at the person who stood with flyers outside the diner, "I gotta get me one of those but in the shape of ramen." You are probably wondering what he had seen as they walked up to their destination. All I can say is that you would be laughing to. As was Sasuke, except his was more of a chuckle. Amusedly, Sasuke strolled over to the person that Naruto had partially ridiculed and made himself known by a small grunt, even though that wasn't necessary because the person had sensed his arrogant aura from a mile away. Slowly turning round leaflets in hand, a pair of eyes glazed over in anger pierced through him. You know the saying, if looks could kill?

"Hey babycakes" he mocked, trying hard to contain his laughter. Before him stood the very woman who he had 'kindly' gotten a job, standing in a wiener costume.

"You!" Sakura's tone was deadly, her aura suffocating and intense. The air had thinned around her and the fire in her eyes burned through her irises, giving the illusion of a redder green. She attempted to attack him, but had great difficulty moving because of the build of the costume. Only a quarter of her arms could move about and the base cut above her ankles, meaning she had to result to hopping around.

"Trouble moving?" his smirk widened as the colour of her eyes darkened with evil intent.

Growl. "I said get me a good job"

"I did"

"Well you've obviously got some fucked up idea of what 'good' is!" her arms were flapping about in rage.

"Each to their own"

"Don't give me that philosophical shit! When I'm standing here in downtown Tokyo outside some diner, in a wiener costume and handing out flyers!"

"Could be worse"

"How? I'm parading round the street –unwillingly- for everyone to see! I have a fucking degree in Medicine, I shouldn't be here!" she was blushing with fury.

"You're interacting with the public which you'll need to do as a doctor, it's good practise" she was temporarily stunned by the amount of words that spilled from his mouth but soon reverted back to the bitter attitude she had adopted.

"Yo teme, who's this?" Sakura's eyes flickered to the sound and blonde spikes blinded them.

"Hn" Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Hey, I'm Uzumaki Naruto" he said, a grin stretching across his face. He was almost as famous as Sasuke, capturing the eyes of many women in the town of Tokyo and had a reputation for indulging in quite a bit of sexual activity, as I previously said. So obviously he was surprised when the expression on Sakura's face remained the same once he'd introduced himself. No squealing, no blushing, no 'Naruto-kun'…he liked her already.

"Haruno Sakura" she mumbled back, "I would shake you hand but…" Naruto nodded in consideration as he realised the difficulties she was having.

"I'm not really hungry anymore" Sasuke drew lazily to Naruto. He had seen what he wanted to see and didn't want to hang around; he had made plans and wasn't prepared to delay them.

"Ah man, teme stop messing me around. Just pick a place and then stick to it."

"Hn, well I guess I won't be seeing you" he breathed, his eyes full of relief that they were finally parting ways. He turned to walk away, Naruto following next to him but twisted his head as she shouted towards them.

"Oh yes you will! This isn't over yet!" but her only reply was a dismissive shake of his hand.

Leaning against her apartment door, Sakura sighed away the stressful day that had passed. She leisurely closed her eyes but only for a brief moment when she heard the sound of Ino and another person in the living room. She plodded towards the room and the sound of disappointment rang in her ears as the voices became clearer.

"Hey Ino-pi-" her breath caught in her throat when her eyes settled on the sight of a key being dropped into the palm of their landlord.

"Again, I'm sorry to do this"

"It's ok" Ino's golden mane cascaded along her face, hiding the expression that had been stitched on.

"Hi Sakura, I'm afraid I have to evict the both of you. I don't want to but you guys aren't keeping up with the rent and you've had warnings…" their landlord trailed off once she noticed the understanding expression on Sakura's face. "Ok" Sakura murmured, her voice now hoarse and melancholy. She walked up to her and placed the key in her hand.

"How much time do we have?"

"The standard 24-hrs" their landlord paced towards the door and rested her palm on the handle, "I'm sorry" and she took her leave, glancing over her shoulder at the two girls, before closing the door.

"We should start packing" Ino suggested, her voice was watery and started to crack but she sucked in the threatening tears and looked up to Sakura whose face was blank and still.

Silence. "I got a call from Tokyo hospital" Sakura broke her absent-minded gaze and her eyes collided with Ino's.

"Really? That's great! Well done"

"It would have been great if hadn't just been evicted"

"Yeh but look on the bright side, at least they replied" Ino kept a hopeful tone, trying to distract them from the gloomy atmosphere "what did they say?"

Sakura's gaze was back in the spot it had been, staring redundantly at nothing in particular.

"I'm now a resident at Tokyo.H"

"Wow! That's amazing, you're finally gonna be a doctor!" Ino wrapped her arms around Sakura's dazed form and squeezed her with all her might, imparting her joy onto her blue friend. Sakura couldn't help but return her embrace, the bemused feeling now dissolving and leaving her to feel just as happy as Ino was.

"Thanks Ino" she buried her face amongst her friend's blonde locks and smiled into them.

"What about your other job, the one that Sasuke got you?" they broke the hug and collapsed into the couch.

"I quit as soon as I got the call"

"I see. Anyway, back to the problem at hand…where the hell are we gonna live?"

"I have n-" she broke off when a thought came into her head, "Ino, I have the greatest idea…"

It had been a whole day since he had had the misfortune of seeing the pink-haired woman and it felt like his mind had been liberated and was free from the chains she had bound him with. Trust me people, Sasuke felt like he'd been reborn, that was how happy he was. But I'm sorry to say it was only temporary.

After an uneventful lunch with his father, Sasuke decided to head back to his apartment and spend the afternoon in his own company. And walking to his door, his eyes immediately were glued on an exotic woman whose body he felt he was compelled to admire. Her dress clung to her curves, the material rippling over her cleavage and buttocks. His mind was immediately infected with scenarios involving the two of them with his name being screamed by her. Uchiha Sasuke was definitely a man that got distracted easily when it came to the female anatomy.

He gathered that she was locked out of her apartment and he thought that it was only right to offer her a stay in his, after all, his mother had taught him to be a gentleman to women in distress and he didn't want to disgrace his mother and everything she'd taught him.

"Hey" he called across the hall, grabbing the attention of her. A blush crawled across her cheeks.

"Hmm?"

"Wanna come in?" he gestured with his key and pointed towards the door.

"Are you sure? I don't want to be a bother" her voice was angelic and gentle. To Sasuke, that meant she was easy.

'Trust me, you aren't' he thought devilishly, "Aa"

"Thanks" she ran towards him but his attention was fully reserved for the bobbing of her breasts inside her dress. Some women really didn't realise what they did to men.

Smirking at her, Sasuke reluctantly turned his head to the lock and swiftly clicked the door open. Giving her way to walk in first –remember that he was a gentleman- he followed after and was about to suggest that she go to his living room but his words were delayed by what he saw. Piled around his landing were boxes and boxes. Every corner had them left there. He walked forward but his foot caught something hard and looking down his face steamed with fury. Before his feet sat a group of suitcases that obviously had a relation to the boxes in his apartment. He was unaware of who these belonged to until his eyes caught the writing that was marked in bold lettering on every one. 'Sakura's'

I think this deserves another count down don't you?

3…2…1…

He stormed around his apartment, looking in his bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, study and then living room, where he found the woman of his nightmares laying on her stomach across his couch with a magazine clasped in her hands.

"What" he indicated to the stray boxes sitting in his living room "is this?" he said icily, his was enough to slice through stone. Sakura's gaze was stolen from the article she was scanning and her eyes glanced at him before she got up, hurling the magazine to the floor and ran over to him.

"Hey roomie-chan" she spoke with exuberance and hidden devilishness. She flung her arms round his neck in a strong embrace. Before he could reply, she released him and already began speaking, her voice never losing its pitch.

"This is gonna be so much fun" she squeezed his cheeks between her hands, her left hand slapping one a few times and then happily skipped away leaving him to grasp what was happening.

And for once in his life, Uchiha Sasuke had nothing left to say.

Heyyyy guys! How are you~? Well I'm really happy cus I managed to write this in record timing lol. I finished this quite a few hours ago but then I went out and I forgot about it so I'm sorry about that but at least I got it out *laughs nervously*.

I'm so happy that you guys took some time to review, I always appreciate it. I hope that the twist in this chapter was entertaining enough! Only one person managed to come close to what I had in mind and that was :CiiCiinREX: so well done for that :D

Now I have a reason for uploading this so quickly, apart from the lovely reviews I got, there's also another reason. I'm afraid that I can't upload for like 2 weeks cus I've got a lot of stuff coming up that really needs my attention, so I thought I'd get this up early as a sorry to everyone for having to delay the next chapter *Whips out a shield to use as defense* please don't kill me :S.

I'd like to say thanks again for everyone who reviewed, faved and alerted! Please continue to review because I like seeing your criticism and thoughts about the story so far, but please be gentle ahahaa. So yeh that's it I hope you enjoyed it, cus I like this chapter way more than the last, R&R. (I hope that it isn't too jumpy like the last chapter) HAPPY READING!
