The Snake Pit (First Class Dinner)

Sasuke's POV

"Good evening, sir." said the stewart as he opened the door for Sasuke. Sasuke him a nod as he stepped in. Sasuke began to walk forward. Incredible, thought Sasuke, so this is how it's done when you speak the international language of money. Inside stood a small walk way that led to the grand staircase. The orchestra was playing "On The Beautiful Blue Danube" elegantly in the background. Sasuke looked down on the giant crater that was the staircase and then looked up at the glass dome above his head. He whistled slightly, taking in all of the scenery. He began to descend the staircase. He leaned against a pillar with his arms folded across his chest. He saw a man standing with his left arm behind his back. So he decided to do the same.

"Good evening." a man said to Sasuke. He nodded.

"Hello." said the man Sasuke had imitated. He nodded politely. He began to practice how to set his arm when he escorted a lady.

"Do you know that there are several thousand tons of Hockley steel in this very ship?" Sai said barely heard on the account of the distance.

"Hmm. Which part?" asked Tsunade. Their voiced getting louder.

"All the right ones, of course." said Sai in a bragging, arrogant tone.

"Then we'll know who to hold accountable if there's a problem," said Tsunade as she and Sai descended down the stairs, "Where's my daughter?"

"Oh she'll be along," Sasuke stretched his hand for Sai to shake, but he ignored him and turned, "There is the countess." he kissed her hand.

Sakura's POV

Sakura was at the top of the staircase. She smiled when she saw Sasuke. He's completely different, thought SakuraWhen she saw him in a tux. She began to descend down the stairs.

Sasuke's POV

Sasuke glanced up at the staircase, saw Sakura, and did a double take when he saw her. Sasuke's Inner began to howl.

'Damn is that the same girl from this afternoon?'

Can you please control yourself? responded Sasuke silently. Yes that's Sakura. And she looks beautiful.

Sakura's POV

'Damn!! Hey Outer me, are you sure that's the same Uchiha Sasuke?' asked Inner Sakura.

Yes it is, replied Sakura, he does look handsome, but I'm so used to seeing him in ordinary clothes, he just-

'Looks like another empty- headed member in this soiree?' offered Inner Sakura

...Sort of, but still he does have a certain charm that none of these people have. Once Sakura got to the bottom Sasuke kissed her gloved hand, gently.

"I saw that in a nickelodeon once and I always wanted to try it." Sakura giggled as Sasuke finished. Sasuke extended his arm and Sakura slipped her's through his. As they walked Sasuke cocked his head up. He had a, somewhat, cocky look to him. Sakura snickered at his gesture. She tapped Sai on the shoulder,

"Sai- kun? Surely you remember Uchiha- san."

"Uchiha?" Sai chuckled, "Well it's amazing. You could almost pass as a gentleman."

It's amazing Sai, fumed Sakura, you could just pass as a human. But only just.

'Kisama!' shouted Inner Sasuke.

"Almost." said Sasuke flatly.

"Extraordinary." said Sai as he escorted Tsunade to the dining room.

In the saloon

Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura descended down the stairs.

"Sasuke," he looked at Sakura, "it's time for you to learn First- class attendance."

"Meaning?" Sasuke cocked an eyebrow.

"Meaning... I'll tell you who's everyone before hand."

"Hn."

"There's the Countess of Rothes. And, um, that's Hyuga Neji-- the richest man on the ship. His little wifey, TenTen, is my age and in delicate condition. See how she's trying to hid it? Quite the scandal."

"Hn."

"And that's Benjamin Guggenheim and his mistress Madame Aubert. Mrs. Guggenheim is at home with the children, of course. And over here we have Sir Cosmo and Lucille Lady Duff- Gordon. She designs naughty lingerie, among her many talents. Very popular with the royals."

Sai's POV

"Congratulations, Sai. She splendid." said Sir Cosmo.

"Why, thank you." said Sai his signature fake smile plastered on his face.

Sasuke, Sakura and Kurenai's POV

"Care to escort a lady to dinner, Sasuke- san?" asked Kurenai.

"Certainly." replied Sasuke.

"Cherry blossom?" called Sai.

"Ain't nothin' to it, is there, Sasuke?" said Ren. "Remember, they love money, so just pretend like you own a gold mine... and you're in the club. Hey Hyuga!"

"Well, hello, Ren. Nice to see you."

"Neji, TenTen, I'd like you to meet Uchiha Sasuke."

"How do you do, Uchiha- san?" asked TenTen. They shook hands.

"Pleasure." said Sasuke simply.

"Hello, Sasuke," Neji shook his hand, "Are you of the Boston Uchihas?"

"No-- the Chippwa Falls Uchihas, actually." said Sasuke.

"Oh, yes. Yes."

'He must have been nervous, but he never faltered. They assumed he was one of them-- Heir to a railroad fortune, perhaps. New money, obviously, but still a member of the club. Mother, of course, could always be counted upon...'

Sasuke's POV

"Tell us of the accommodations in steerage, Uchiha- san. I hear they're quite good on this ship."

"The best I've seen, Tsunade- sama. Hardly any rats."

"Uchiha- san is joining us from third class," said Sai almost seeming to relish his own words, "He was of some assistance to my fiancee last night."

"It turns out that Sasuke- san is quite a fine artist. He was kind enough to show me some of his work today." said Sakura.

"Sakura and I differ somewhat in our definition of fine art," said Sai, "Not to impugn your work, sir." Sasuke shook his head,

"No offense taken, Sai." Sakura cleared her throat and mouthed something to Sasuke. Sasuke sat up straight as the waiters passed around the caviar. Sasuke looked down at his plate and saw multiple forks, spoons and knives.

He turned to Ren and whispered, "Are these all for me?"

"Just start on the outside and work your way in. No worries, Sasuke." said Kurenai.

"He knows every rivet in her, don't you, Asuma?" asked Ebisu as he continued to brag about Titanic.

"Your ship is a wonder, truly, Sarutobi- sama." said Sakura.

"Thank you, Sakura." replied Asuma.

"And how do you take your caviar, sir?" the waiter asked Sasuke.

"No caviar, for me, thanks," Sasuke replied politely, "Never care for it much." Sakura smiled at his response.

"And where, exactly, do you live, Uchiha- san?" asked Tsunade.

"Well, right now, my address is the R. M. S. Titanic. After that, I'm on God's good humor."

"And how is it you have the means to travel?"

"I work my way from place-to-place-- You know tramp steamers and such. But I won my ticked on Titanic at a lucky hand at poker. A very lucky hand."

"All life is a game of luck." said Mr. Prescott.

"A real man makes his own luck, Archie. Right, Uchiha?" asked Sai.

'Ass hole!!!' exclaimed Sasu and Saku's Inners.

"And you find that sort of rootless existence appealing, do you?" asked Tsunade. Ren gave her a hardened look and her version of the Uchiha Death Glare.

Sasuke glanced at Kurenai. "Calm down." he mouthed.

'Time to put Tsunade in her place! exclaimed Inner Sasuke.

"Well, yes, Tsunade- sama, I do. I mean, got everything I need right here with me. Got the air in my lungs and a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's going to happen or who I'm going to meet, where I'm going to wind up. Just the other night, I was sleeping under, a bridge, and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift, and I don't intend on wasting it. You never know what hand you're going to get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you. Here you go, Sai," Sasuke tossed Sai his lighter, "To make each day count."

"Well said, Sasuke." said Ren.

"Hear, hear!" exclaimed Mr. Prescott (Archie)

"To making it count." said Sakura proposing a toast. Sasuke looked at her.

"To making it count!" said everyone.

Later that night

The desert cart passed by, the orchestra was playing, but above all that you could here Ren's laughter over all of it. "Yuhi- kun hand no idea I'd hidden the money in the stove. So he comes home drunk as a pig, celebrating and he lights a fire."

Sakura whispered to Sasuke, "Next it'll be brandies in the smoking room."

"Well join me in a brandy, gentlemen?" asked Archie. Sakura smirked as all the men agreed.

"Now they retreat to a cloud of smoke and congratulate each other on being masters of the universe."

"Ladies, thank you for the pleasure of your company." said Ebisu

"Sakura, may I escort you back to the cabin?" asked Sai.

"No, I'll stay here." she replied.

"Here you go, Ren." said Sasuke handing her back the pen he had borrowed from her.

"Joining us, Uchiha?" asked Archie. "You don't want to stay out here with the woman, do you?"

"No thanks. I've got to be heading back."

"Probably best," said Sai, "It'll be all business and politics, that sort of thing-- Wouldn't interest you. But, Uchiha, good of you to come." he tossed him back his lighter. "Sasuke, must you go?" asked Sakura.

"Time for me to go row with the other slaves. Good night, Sakura." He kissed her hand and turned to leave. Sakura felt the paper in her hand. She unfolded, where no one could see it. She opened it and read,

make it count meet me at the clock.

Sakura looked up. 'Well are you or not?' asked Inner Sakura.

I... uh...

At the staircase

The clock began to chime. Sakura took a deep breath and began to climb up the steps. Sasuke's back was to her.

'I'm proud of you Outer me!' exclaimed Inner Sakura

I'm not sure about all this.

'Don't sweat it, cause I'm sure!'

Like that helps. Sakura replied with an eye roll.

'Whatever!'

Sasuke's POV

Think she'll show? thought Sasuke.

'Of course she well! I mean how could she resist me! exclaimed his Inner.

Don't you mean usasked Sasuke.

'Hn... whatever.' said Inner Sasuke. Sasuke heard Sakura's heels behind him. He turned around and with a smirk on his face he asked, "So, you want to go to a real party?"
