Sakura-centric short based on the 50 Kisses theme list…
Short Two: Unrivaled
Word Count: 201
Theme: #16 – invincible; unrivaled
Pairing: Implied Sasuke/Sakura
Date Completed: 2006.Sept.06
He was unrivaled in nearly everything that pertained to him. No one could play the broody-loner card better than him. He was colder and more calculative than any of the Rookie Nine. He could still out-do Naruto when he really tried. He could beat Sai without breaking a sweat. He was almost on par with his former teacher, Hatake Kakashi. He had overpowered his Sannin teacher, Orochimaru when the Snake had tried to take over the boy's body before vengeance could be achieved; and he had finally beaten his older brother.
And the one thing he would forever be unrivaled in was the claim of Sakura's heart. No one could claim her heart but him. He had silently watched many try and they all had failed. She was steadfastly devoted to him, even after all he had done.
And Uchiha Sasuke didn't want it any other way. She was his—she had been since she'd offered him her equivalent of the world. Her offer was the most invaluable treasure anyone could have ever bestowed upon him. Her promise of love and happiness—the promise of her heart…and her love…
He'd be damned if he was ever bested of that precious gift.
