Sasuke Uchiha Must Die

Sasuke's POV

I was walking downtown trying to get the event that had just happened out of my head. Thinking about it was getting my blood boiling, and the event had went down like this.

I had just met with a couple of dates, and was waiting for the last one of the night to finish their meal at my family's restaurant called "Nox Noctis Divum," it's Latin for "The Night Sky." I was about to kill the girl who was wasting my time just playing with her food, and taking her sweet time. I know I'm supposed to be a gentleman, but she was taking too god damn long, and it was seriously giving me a headache. I just wanted to get out of there, go home, and take a hot shower to soothe my aching back that I had gotten during one of my basketball practices. The coach has been putting us into shape for the tournament that was coming up, and his loud, yelling voice was getting on my last nerves, and that right there had put me in a bad mood.

So I was going to bite this girl's head off in a matter of seconds if she didn't finish.

"1...2...3...4..."

I was literally beginning to start counting the seconds.

"5...6...7...8...9..."

And right whenever I was about to count 10, and murder her a voice interrupted me, and was trying to get my attention.

"Sasuke."

I turned around towards the familiarly disgusting voice that I knew all too well.

"Itachi," I sneered, "What do you want?"

His impassive expression didn't falter one bit hearing my tone of voice, and instead replied to the repulsive girl that was sitting across from me. "Do you mind if I steal your date?" he asked politely, "We have some business to speak of if you don't mind."

The girl blushed. "Sure, of course! I was done anyways!" she replied to Itachi, but immediately turning her gaze to me, "So I'll see you later then?"

"Hn," I replied, not wanting to break my composure, and show my temper.

She giggled, and made her way out as I paid full attention to the man in front of me.

"Itachi. What the fuck do you want?" I growled out, not caring anymore about holding my temper.

He shook his head while giving a small smile, and sighed. "No, 'Nice seeing you again, Nii-san' or 'I'm so glad to see you?' I'm hurt, Sasuke."

I glared. "Who gives a fuck. You never come to visit unless you want something, so tell me what do you want already?"

His smile wiped away from his face, and was replaced with a serious, stern expression.

"Sasuke, I need your help," he said.

"What?"

"Your friend Naruto," he replied.

"He's not my friend," I stated, "and what about him?"

"He has some connections that we need."

My eyebrows knitted together. "Connections?"

Itachi still holding his serious gaze started to explain. "Naruto is surprisingly the heir to the Uzumaki Industries. Very soon the people who have been running the place will come to him, and tell him of his family and his family's properties, and then he will have a choice on what he wants to do with it."

I gave Itachi a suspicious look. "What does this have anything to do with me?" I replied.

Itachi grabbed a folder from his briefcase, and handed it to me. "I need you to become friends with him again, or somehow influence him in some way so you're able to control his actions. When the time comes I'll tell you what to do. I don't care if you decide to do it or not. It's solely up to you, but I warn you that the consequences of your actions will not just affect you."

I opened the folder, and glanced briefly at the contents. "..Do I have time to think this over?"

Itachi glanced at me, and began to walk out of the restaurant. "Sure, but you have a time limit. I'll give you a month to think it over. Call me when you have your answer," he said nonchalantly over his shoulder as he closed the door, and left me to myself.

When he left I began to study the papers left in the folder, and began to grit my teeth. "...Fuckin' father," I muttered angrily, and slammed the folder shut as I got up, and took a walk downtown to cool me down.

Sakura's POV

"Naruto..." I growled out, "What is this?"

I was at home when I got a phone call from Naruto. Naruto had decided to invite me over to his house to study saying that he didn't know what his homework was about, and pleadingly bugged the crap out of me to agree. Of course I wasn't in his class, so I told him that I couldn't help him at all, but Naruto still pleaded, and after 10 minutes of his "pretty please's" I caved in. I really should've said no because little did I know that this wasn't a little study session at all.

It was a party. A big one to be specific, and once I had got there I was immediately greeted by the cheerful blonde-haired idiot, and he immediately recoiled once he heard me growl out "Naruto what is this."

Naruto gave a squirmish smile, and scratched his head. "A study session?.."

"Like hell it is! Why the hell did you invite me over to party on a school night!" I yelled.

Faces turned over towards us, and Naruto began to attempt to calm me down. "Shhh! Not so loud Sakura-chan! It's not a big deal!"

I guffawed at his statement. "Really, Naruto? I have a freakin' test tomorrow! If I don't study I'm gonna flunk! I thought I was supposed to help you study, not party!"

"Sorry, Sakura-chan...I just really wanted you to come and have some fun with me... You've looked really stressed out lately..." His expression turned from cheerful to sad in seconds, and immediately I regretted everything I had said, and felt completely guilty.

"I'm sorry, Naruto.. I shouldn't have yelled at you.."

His face gained his cheerful expression except with a different gleam to his eyes. "Okay then Sakura-chan, I'll only forgive you if you do one thing for me!"

I tilted my head. "What?"

He grinned.

"Stay here for at least an hour, and have fun."

"Naruto...hicup!..Whatcha...hicup!...doin?"

I did what I was asked to, and stayed. I chatted with a few classmates who I had never talked to before, and soon right after that I became really thirsty, so instantly I looked for something to drink, and found some punch in the back.

When the glass was finally empty I finally realized that it had tasted funny.

I immediately slapped my head as self-punishment, hoping that it wasn't alcohol as me and alcohol do not mix because I have a really, really, really low tolerance, but here I was slurring away with another cup of punch.

"Sakura-chan? Are you drunk?" Naruto asked as he pulled me over to the side.

Not thinking straight I answered. "Of course not...hicup!...you bastard!"

He shook his head. "Let me take you home," he said as he tried to put his arm around me to hold me steady.

I slapped his hand. "No!"

"Sakura-chan..come on.."

Smack!

Naruto stumbled back looking stunned.

I had slapped him in the face.

"I said no!" I slurred out.

Looking a little hurt he tried once again. "Come on, you have a test tomorrow remember?"

"Fuck tests.." I muttered as I began to fall back losing conciousness.

A strong pair of arms catched me. "I didn't think you were the type to party."

As my eyes opened a little I saw Naruto's eyes narrow behind me. I glanced up, and found Sai holding me up.

"Sai?" I mumbled, "Is that you Sai?" My hands began to smother his face as if to trying to figure out who it was. "You have really soft skin..." I whispered.

He pushed my hands away. "You drunk?" he asked, but his gaze soon turned to Naruto, "Shouldn't you be watching what she's doing, dickless?"

"Fuck off, Sai. I have it under control."

Sai rolled his eyes. "Sure you do..." he replied turning his gaze back down at me, "Can I help take her home?"

I began to flail my arms. "I don't wanna go home!"

Naruto bit his lip, and sighed, "Fine, but I don't need your help."

Sai gave a fake smile. "Of course."

The two began to carry me out towards Naruto's car, and once we had made it Sai put me in the back seat, and Naruto started the car. As the engine started Sai got in the back right next to me earning a glare from Naruto.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Helping taking her home."

"Your help isn't needed now."

"Sure it is dickless, so just drive."

Naruto twitched. "Get the fuck out!"

Sai didn't budge.

Naruto groaned. "Fuck it," he muttered incoherently, and began to pull out of the drive way.

All the way there was a blur for me except for the intense headache that was going on, and the occasional comments and arguments from Naruto and Sai, and somehow I made it home in my bed, and woke up in the morning with an intense hangover.

Sasuke's POV

I was at home in my room studying. I know studying is probably one of the last things somebody would think I would be doing right now, but seriously now I actaully want to get out of school unlike other guys. I actually have a life, and yes, I think it's actually better than dating these bunch of ridiculous girls. I really shouldn't have agreed to this bet.

Speaking of bets...I was counting down the days. Yes, counting. Counting for what you ask? Well, that date with little Ms. Pinky that's what. I've put it on my calendar on my phone so I wouldn't forget, and I'm actually getting a little bit anxious for it. And because of that I've been getting as much info as I could about her, so I'd know just how she ticks, so I wouldn't screw anything up for our date. I even paid other girls in her classes to get info about her, but hopefully everything that I've gotten about her is right, but you never know as some information could be wrong.

Why was I trying so hard for again?

Oh, yeah, to win the bet.

Hn...probably...yeah...that's it.

Anyways moving on, I was studying for my calculus class, and right when I was about to figure out the answer to an equation I was interrupted, and guess who it was?

Itachi and his friends. You could tell by the voices because their voices are rather distinctive and different, and plus I've been around them way too much to not know who they were.

I walked down the stairs to see what the hell they were doing as Itachi never comes home, and

when I had reached the living room I found all of them gathered around one of the tables looking at papers, and drinking bottles and bottles of beer.

"Itachi, what are you doing here?" I groaned out, getting rather annoyed.

"I'm working."

"Really? Why don't you go somewhere else to do that like you always do?"

"Well, I feel like working here today. I hope I won't be a bother."

I sighed, and then one of Itachi's friends spoke. "Well, well, well, if it isn't little old Sasuke-chan, hmmm? I haven't seen you in forever," exclaimed the annoying long-haired blonde called Deidara. He was always talking about art being a blast from what I remembered. He even tried blowing up our kitchen because of his little obsession.

"Deidara, you saw him like last week at that music store he works at remember?" retorted Sasori. Sasori was okay, but his puppets that he carries around are rather disturbing. I remember whenever I was 10 he gave me one for my birthday...I threw it out immediately.

"Oh, yeah! Now I remember!" Deidara yelled out, making me flinch.

"Deidara, you really should learn some manners. Itachi should've slapped you for disrespect by now," mumbled the creepy blue guy named Kisame. Kisame was the closest to Itachi, but seriously I have no idea why he and Itachi were friends as this guy had some weird fetish with fish, and even somehow found a way to dye his skin blue.

"Oh, shut up Kisame!" Deidara yelled, "You should be the one to learn some manners!"

I rolled my eyes, and decided to leave them to their ridiculousness as I made my way for the kitchen to get me a snack.

"Sasuke."

I turned back towards Itachi. "What," I stated, not really making it seem like a question.

"You really need to release all that emotion you keep bottling up. Relax, and have fun while you can."

I gave him a look saying "Are-You-Retarded."

He sighed. "Sasuke, you don't have to do what I asked you to do. I was just wondering if maybe you could help me out here. That's all, so relax a little. You're a teenager, and you need to live a little, so go and do whatever you want alright?"

I twitched, and muttered out, "I know. I don't need your damn advice, and I'll do whatever the fuck I want."

I walked out of there, and decided to forget about getting something to eat, and just went upstairs to cool myself down as Itachi had somehow pushed my buttons..

All week had been nothing, but epic boringness. I've had no fun what-so-ever. All this week for me had been nothing, but working, studying, and dating. I haven't had time to hang out with any of my friends, or even have any alone time, and it was seriously irking me. Thankfully, though I was getting a break today as I had no planned dates or working hours. I was home free.

"Hey, Suigetsu," I greeted walking over to get my books from my locker.

"Hey, are you coming this weekend?" he asked excitedly.

I raised an eyebrow. "Going to what?"

Suigetsu's face turned into complete shock. "Don't tell me you actually forgot! It's a tradition for us every year!"

My impassive expression turned into recognition. "Ah, that party," I stated.

Suigetsu grinned. "Yes, that party!"

Every year around this time a mysterious person throws a huge party filled with tons and tons of people coming from everywhere. Most of the people you'd see there would never ever be seen again as most of them were from other cities from far away, and it was interesting how so many people would find out about it, especially since the party location changes every single year. This year I heard it was going to be at this closed off, abandoned building, but anyways this party was the party to go to. I mean everyone went. Everyone. Even most of the goody-two shoes.

"When is it?" I asked, turning my attention to a certain glimpse of pink.

"Saturday," Suigetsu replied, but I didn't hear. My attention was on Sakura who was heading towards her class without trying to drop her books. I smirked as she managed to catch one of her falling books, but didn't manage to pay attention to the bystander that was in her way. She bumped into them, and almost tripped on her feet.

"Sasuke?"

My gaze flickered to Suigetsu. "What?"

"Did you hear me?"

"Hn, yeah, sure, sure," I muttered quickly as I saw Pinky starting to leave, "Look Suigetsu I'll see you at lunch. Let's talk about it then."

Suigetsu gave me an annoyed look. "Fine," he mumbled in defeat as I walked towards the damsel in distress.

"Do you need some help?" I asked in a low voice, trying to surpress my amused tone.

"Sur-," she started to say with a smile, but then it turned into a scowl and a, "I don't need your help."

I raised a brow at her. "Are you sure because it really looks like you need some."

She shook her head as she quickly turned her attention to the path in front of her, but not quick enough as she ran into another person, and fell to the floor with all her papers fluttering around in the air.

I smirked as I bent down, and began to pick up her things. "You want the help now?" I asked chuckling.

She didn't reply immediately as she was still trying to take in what just happened, but once it registered she shyly nodded her head with her slight blush covering her cheeks.

Finally having all her things in my grasp I got up, and held out my hand to Sakura who was still sitting on the floor embarrassed. Slowly she grabbed my hand, and I pulled her up, letting my hand linger against hers as I let go.

I carried all her books to her next class as she walked next to me with her head down, trying to cover the blush she held on her face. I unconciously smirked the whole entire time as the images of her falling down were replaying over and over in my head.

"Sasuke-kun?"

I looked over at the small-framed girl walking beside me. "Hn?"

"Thank you.."

I flinched a little, and turned my head. "Hn," I said trying not to seem the least bit happy. I've always been calm and impassive, but it seemed somethings could change.

The awkward silence continued until I decided to start coversing a little as the silence was actually making me feel awkward.

"I think I'm gonna take a little break for awhile," I stated.

Sakura looked up at me dazed and confused. "Huh?"

I smirked. "With the bet. I'm gonna concentrate on other things for a little bit. After all I have all year long right?"

She gave a small smirk. "Still confident as usual. Are you sure you really wanna do that? I mean after all if you do you might lower your chances of winning," she tried saying with a conceited tone.

I stopped in pace and an evil grin formed on my face. "So you think I have a chance of winning now, huh?"

She froze, and blushed massively. "U-uh n-no!" she stuttered, "I was just..well...y-you...never mind." She looked down at her feet.

I grinned, but continued on with walking. She could be so easy to tease.

"Sakura-chan!" a voice called that seemed awfully familiar.

Her face beamed. "Naruto! How's it going?" I did not like where this was going at all.

"I haven't seen you around lately! You've been taking it easy since that party?" he asked teasingly to Sakura, ignoring my presence.

I glared at my feet as they continued to converse. They really seemed to be even closer than usual, and it was frustrating. It was like I wasn't even there anymore now. How could they just ignore me like that? Naruto should just keep the fuck away. Keep away!

After I had enough of listening I pushed Sakura's books in his arms, earning a look from Naruto and a confused one from Sakura.

"Sasuke-kun?"

I started walking, and gave a quick glare over my shoulder before turning my attention back in front of me. "I think you have somebody else who can help you carry your books."

And then I walked away with almost visible steam coming out of my ears.

Sakura's POV

What was his problem? "His" being Sasuke. All of a sudden he starts acting like a girl on her period for no reason! All I was doing was talking to Naruto, and I really do not see what his deal is nor do I care.

...Okay, I do care, but still.

Well, anyways after that event Sasuke has been giving me the cold shoulder. Well, normally he does it unintentionally, but now he is definitely doing it on purpose. I can feel him giving me glances with either a sullen look or an angry one, and I was absolutely hating it so much. What did I do to deserve this anyways? Nothing. Zip. Nada. El grande nada.

As I was going home, walking that afternoon I saw Sasuke, and guess what he was doing? Making out with Karin.

Karin. Ick.

Why her? Who knows, but it was still making me extremely upset. I felt like going up to Sasuke and punching the lights out of him right then and there along with Karin. Oh, how I really wanted to punch Karin, in fact I've been dying to since that encounter in the cafeteria. But instead I did something else. Something that surprised even me.

I walked by them with a happy smile... For god's sake a happy smile! Although it was a fake one, but still a happy god damn smile! I mean how could I do that? This was the perfect oppurtunity to make Karin pay as well as Sasuke, but nope! I didn't. How dumb was I? I really should've slapped Karin for kissing my man!

….WAIT! Back up, scratch that! Not my man. Just Sasuke. Just Sasuke... So really I shouldn't even be mad...after all we're just friends right?

Right?...

"Hey Naruto?" I greeted uncertainly on the phone. It was about 10:30 P.M. that same night, and the image of those two swapping spit was still vividly going through my brain. I called Naruto to see if he could somehow manage to erase it. I mean he always does with other things right?

"Sakura-chan?" he said surprised, "What's up? Do you need something?"

I started playing with my cell phone strap nervously. "Um, no, I was just calling because I was bored."

I could hear a brief pause through the phone, but soon he answered. "Okay! Why don't you just come over, and we can have some fun?"

I twitched with the image of Sasuke and Karin leaving my mind quickly. "There isn't a party over there is there?"

He laughed. "No, Sakura-chan, just me and the silence...well, besides the TV."

I smiled to myself. "Okay, I'll be over there in a few minutes."

"Wait," he interrupted before I could hang up, "You can...bring Hinata if you want..."

I giggled. "Sure, why not? Bye."

"See ya soon." Then the beeping noise of the phone was heard.

Well, it seemed that Hinata and Naruto are going to date soon. I laughed out loud just thinking about how Hinata would act in a relationship with Naruto. She probably would look like a deer in headlights.

I had picked up Hinata, and made it to Naruto's house, and surprisingly his house was neater than usual. It smelled lemony fresh, not one bit of ramen was smelt through the air.

"Naruto?" I asked, "Why is your home so...clean?"

He pouted. "My house is always clean," he stated glancing over towards Hinata who was looking and blushing about the living room.

I grinned. "You're even wearing nice clothes! What happened to the Naruto that I know? This really can't be him," I stated teasingly, giving him a poke in the chest.

"Shut up," he retorted, a slight blush coating his cheeks.

I giggled. "Oh, Hinata!" I started, "I think someone has a-" Naruto's hand covered my mouth muffling my words before I could finish my statement.

Naruto laughed nervously under Hinata's confused stare. "A dog," he covered, "I have a dog. That's what Sakura-chan was going to say," Wow, I did not know his cheeks could get so red! "Right?" He looked down at me giving me a warning.

"Sure, a dog," I replied, "It's name is... Ramen."

They both looked at me weird. "What?" I stated, "I didn't name his dog he did!"

Hinata looked towards Naruto. "C-can I see your dog?" she asked sweetly making Naruto blush.

"U-uh, sure, but...he's not here right now...he's...at Shikamaru's place. I had to clean up the house, and I can't do that when he's here."

Hinata's face dropped. "Oh, okay.."

Naruto froze in horror, and frantically spoke. "B-but I'll bring him over sometime to see you! I promise!"

She looked up at him with a smile. "T-thank you!"

I accidentally let out an awe sound which immediately ruined the moment as they both got embarrassed, and started doing separate things. Naruto went to go fix us all aome ramen, and Hinata started to fiddle with an imaginary spot on the hem of her shirt.

Really. How can they be so... never mind.

After that we watched a movie, and when it was over I was the only one still concious as Naruto and Hinata dozed off into dreamland, and Hinata's head had fallen onto Naruto's shoulder, and Naruto's onto Hinata's head. It was a picture perfect moment, and so I silently took a picture for blackmail in the future, and left for home as they slept away.

Sasuke's POV

I was at home, and it was Saturday. I was still mad about what had happened with Naruto and Sakura. Yes, I know I shouldn't be after all I had let out all my anger already on Karin, but I was and it seemed that this anger was turning out to be a grudge.

Knock knock

I heard the knock, and trudged up to the front door. I opened it, and how wonderful...it was my dear old pal Suigetsu.

"What are you doing here?" I muttered, annoyed.

Suigetsu frowned. "You forgot again? Today's the party remember? We gotta get going if we wanna make it there on time!"

"Hn."

"Don't 'Hn' me! Are you coming with me or not?"

I scratched the back of my head. There was something bugging me in the back of my mind. Was there something that I was supposed to remember?

"Yeah, sure. Let me get cleaned up real quick."

"Fine! But hurry up!" he said impatiently as I ignored him, and went to my bathroom to take a shower.

"Wait in the living room until I'm done," I said while Suigetsu went in started to peer curiously throughout my house, "Don't do any snooping either."

Suigetsu gave me a dirty look. "Ha. Ha. Very funny."

I stared at him impassively. "I wasn't joking."

"Whatever, just go and do your thing already!" he said while giving me a push up the stairs.

I glared, and shoved him off. "Don't touch me."

"Yeah, yeah," he said, waving me off.

I walked up the stairs, and made it to the bathroom. I took off my clothes, and ran the hot water.

Climbing into the bathroom and drving to the party was the last thing I truly remembered as the rest of the night that day was a blur.

Sakura's POV

It was finally the day of the date, and I was excited though I hated to admit it. I knew I shouldn't be since Sasuke had just made out with Karin, but I was and I really wanted to know what a date with Sasuke Uchiha would be like.

As I got all ready, lipgloss and all, I started to get nervous thinking about what would happen on our date. Would it turn out alright, would I mess up some way, would my outfit look okay, all those questions started to run through my head. It was making my brain turn to mush as I finally finished getting ready, but I was happy no matter how nerve wracking the thoughts were. I wasn't even caring about whether or not I was losing the bet. All I was really caring about was what Sasuke thought of me, whether or not it would be possible for him to ever like me, and what will happen to us in the future. That's all I was thinking, nothing more, and so I sat down on my couch waiting anxiously...

For the date that never occurred.

Alrighty! I hope you liked it! And the next chapter will hopefully be out sooner than this one!

Again, ごめなさい！

Please review! :)

Sasuke: ...

Me: What? No comment?

Sasuke: ...ばか。
