AND A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A SPECIAL REVIEWER OUT THERE! :D (sorry if it's not long. I forgot to save it and I had to re-write everything on the top of my head just now. So sorry :( and sorry for not updating last saturday. Anyways, enjoy!) - VZ
Sasuke knew that he had grown stronger the past few years, carrying the Uchiha name was a heavy burden that he had to carry since the day he was born into this world. And with that great and powerful clan title, came the responsibility to uphold the perfect image of skill, strength and to never show weakness.
Not that he had any.
He knew that he had achieved all of these values.
Even as a child, he had weapons strapped to his body, scrolls within reach and blades hidden everywhere.
Simply put, nothing can surprise, shock and or scare him.
He was prepared for any and all possible situations in the near future.
But of course she had to prove him wrong in the oddest and most enticing way imaginable.
'Odd' was the first word to come to mind because the unbelievable sight of three Akatsuki members unclothed (Including his older brother who looked comfortable and unaffected as ever, damn him)
Sasuke grudgingly admitted that 'enticing' was the perfect word to describe the body of his former teammate.
Smooth, creamy and…perfect.
Even the scars looked good to him.
It was real evidence that she was not the weak, helpless little girl he left behind at the cold worn out bench.
Although, as much as her naked form tempted him, her eyes were the features he admired best.
They spat emerald fire, burning him from the inside out, exciting him with just one look.
The youngest Uchiha watched as she flushed, in anger or embarrassment he didn't care or know.
All he did know was how captivating the mere sight of her flesh was to him.
The only woman in the room glared at him, her toned body exposed to his hungry, hate-filled gaze.
Suddenly, he saw movement in the corner of his eye.
Glancing to the side, he saw a blonde Akatsuki member grit his teeth while the other one glared and muttered crude words under his breath, both appearing angry and quite frankly…pissed.
Well, it's not like he cared.
They would be dead soon, dying and begging for mercy from him at his feet.
"Miss me brother?" he asked, expecting even the slightest bit of recognition coming from his only other relative.
Unfortunately, when Sasuke had looked at his older brother, he had no emotion on his pale face. None whatsoever.
It irritated the hell out of him.
But before he could use his chidori to burn a hole right through him, a thought made itself known in his dark and corrupted head.
Suddenly, quicker than lightning, he had disappeared from his spot by the charred door.
Only to return a second later, with a pink haired medic struggling in his hold.
"What the hell yeah?!" The blonde yelled, obviously upset.
He raised a dark brow at the weakness (emotion) the Akatsuki member was blatantly showing.
"Get your fucking hands of my babe or I'll slice you damn head off before you can even cry like the pussy you are." The silver haired man growled, reminding Sasuke of a starving lion.
The other brow raised as well, proof that he was extremely interested how his weakling of a teammate had gotten the infamous group of Aaktsuki to get so….emotional.
A smirk appeared on his lips, stretching into a feral grin the more he spoke to the girl within the cage of his arms.
Thankfully, She had not used her perfect chakra control to pummel him into the ground (Not that she could) He suspected it was due to the fact they were in a building filled with other innocent (He highly doubted that) people that didn't deserve to be crushed by the piles of cement that Sakura's fists would have broken.
"Sakura…."
She tried to move and scramble away from him however he wouldn't allow that.
And so, Sasuke used one arm to wrap around her waist, holding her back tight against his front. With his other arm, he held the chidori near her face, not enough to hurt her but enough to scare her.
To his astonishment, She remained unflinching, her eyes shining even brighter under the brilliant blue light of his jutsu.
Beautiful.
He licked his lips in anticipation, much like a snake before he would strike his prey.
"Surprisingly, it seems like you've got not only my brother wrapped around your little finger, but the majority of Akatsuki as well." He whispered into her ear, knowing that everyone in the vicinity could hear every single word he had just said.
As he spoke, he made sure to let his lips brush the shell of her ear, the slope of her neck and the curve of her cheek.
And to his utmost satisfaction, his advances had finally gotten a reaction form his older brother.
"Leave now brother, unless you want to die today."
Itachi's voice was cold, harsh and cruel.
Just like how an Uchiha should be.
"I don't plan on dying any time soon Itachi, not unless you're rotting in hell for what you've done to the family."
Both pairs of red eyes flashed and narrowed at the mention of their pasts.
"I've done what was necessary."
"You've ruined everything." Sasuke ground out.
It took everything in him not to punch a searing hole through Itachi's body.
No, he would have to control himself.
Keep his anger in check until he had everything in place, until Sakura was his, his to break and torture for the sake of crushing his brother's black heart.
Then soon after, make him watch his loved one die, at the hands of his own blood.
"I've won Itachi." He declared, the chidori in his hand flaring wildly to prove his point.
Sakura dug her nails into his arm, which was holding her to his body.
It was a futile attempt to free herself yet commendable one as well.
He smirked at her.
She glared at him.
"Don't worry brother, I'll make sure she is taken care of."
And just like that, with one last look to the other men in the room; Sasuke vanished, taking Itachi's only chance at happiness with him.
Naruto made it to the room where Sakura was most likely held in.
He knew this because of the grilled doorframe and the sorry excuse of a door in pieces, scattered everywhere.
The blonde stepped into the room, a curious expression on his face.
"What the-"
He didn't get to finish.
Black had enveloped him like a warm blanket on a cold night.
The last thing he saw was a pair of eyes.
Red, angry and filled with tears.
Sakura really hated this.
Getting dragged away dramatically to Kami-knows-where was irritating beyond belief.
Once again, she tried struggling, only to be stopped by Sasuke, with that damned smirk on his face.
"Care to share why the hell you're so happy?!"
He merely rolled his eyes and continued to run at the speed of light.
Okay, yelling at the enemy might not have been the smartest thing to do.
However she really couldn't find it in herself to give a shit right now.
Well, well….look who's cursing like a certain Jashinist. Inner smirked, waggling her eyebrows, her voice painfully suggestive.
Why hello there Inner. She replied dryly.
Good to see you're acting so polite to me.
Better you than the ass carrying me off to….I don't even know where.
He does have one…fine…ass. She purred, pretending to claw like a cat.
You really are a pervert aren't you?
Like you're not?
…..goodbye.
Do me a favor? Try to get some action tonight, I'm seriously-
Sakura immediately shoved her other self into the farthest recesses of her mind and focused on the task at hand.
Which was getting the hell away from her former teammate.
Weirdly enough, he was carrying her bridal style.
His hand locked onto her knees and back, making sure that she would not be able to escape, or move for that matter.
Suddenly, she felt the hands keeping her in place disappear.
"Hey-"
The pinkette had been dropped onto a bed, a really large, soft bed. With gold pillows and an equally gaudy blanket and matching sheets.
A massive chandelier hung above her head, its crystals shimmering in the gold, black and white room.
Her green eyes immediately take in the setting. Which was a huge room that was fully furnished with gold and black ornaments. From her perch on the mattress, she could spot the dining table (the doors were open) laden with food of all kinds.
Confusion filled her then.
Just where was she?
Where had that damned Uchiha taken her?
"Sasuke?" She asked tentatively, furrowing her eyebrows and pursing her lips in thought.
"I can finally see why my brother likes you so much."
Her heart sped up at the sound of the deep and velvety voice of the youngest Uchiha, in fear or excitement? She had no idea.
Sakura's eyes followed the dark figure walking towards her, his stride confident and leisurely.
She really hated how graceful each movement he or Itachi made.
They made it look so regal and precise. It just seemed so effortless. However she knew that there was power in those actions and movements.
"Or should I say…love?"
Her heart skipped a beat, reminded of the confession Itachi had made earlier.
It was sweet, endearing and...might be a lie.
They were playing a game after all.
The mattress dipped under his weight as he made himself comfortable.
Even going as far as to go to the center of the bed and lean his upper body on the headboard, linking his fingers beneath his head.
The simplest way to describe how he appeared in this moment was self-assured, strong and calm.
"I like you like this."
Her eyes snapped up to meet his, green clashing with red.
Sakura was baffled for a while, until she finally realized that he had been staring at her body, which was still exposed to him.
Her hands instantly shot up to cover her body, even grabbing a handful of the blanket under her to shield herself from his gaze.
"This is where you belong, beneath me." He went on, his eyes never leaving her form.
Now that she noticed it, she was still sprawled on the bed, below his body, clutching to the sheets as if her life depended on it.
Anger sparked at his words.
"I do not be-"
"You do." He interrupted her, so she tried again, only harsher, angrier.
"I don't Sas-"
"Yes…you do."
"Listen here-"
"I do not take orders from dirt."
"That's it!"
The pinkette didn't care if she was practically naked or that he was smiling like the Cheshire cat.
What really mattered to her right now was the frustration that she needed to pour out and the indignation she felt towards the dark haired man lounging on the bed.
"I have no idea why the hell you're doing this. Or why you brought me here. But I do know that you are acting like an absolute ass which I do not appreciate and will not, under any circumstances, tolerate!"
As she ranted, the heat in Sasuke's eyes grew, unbeknownst to the raging woman on the bed.
"You have a lot of nerve just showing up like that. And saying things that make you more of a bastard than you already are."
On pure impulse, she made her way over to him and used both her hands to grasp his short collar and to lift him off the bed (with chakra of course)
Looking him straight in the eye, she growled out more threats.
No, good little girls shouldn't curse or bully. However she really couldn't care less right now. Not when she had just been brutally insulted.
"And if you ever grab me or call me dirt again, I'll make sure you won't be able to revive your clan."
Sakura glared harder and used his shirt to pull him higher and bang his body on the wall.
Sadly, he didn't look the slightest bit upset or angry. If anything, he looked…amused.
Oh hell no.
Threats weren't supposed to be funny.
Hit him harder. Inner urged, appearing out of nowhere.
Didn't I just tell you to leave?
No, you pushed me. Rather rudely if I might add.
She rolled her eyes at her other self.
Anyways, go on. I can't wait to see you kick his ass.
Wait….I thought you liked that ass?
Inner sighed and spoke slowly, as if she was speaking to a child.
I do. But no one is calling us dirt.
Sakura inwardly nodded and cracked her knuckles.
I'm going to make him regret every bad word he said.
Her other self gave a thumbs up, encouraging her to hurt him in the most violent way possible.
Go ahead. Make me proud.
For once, it felt like they were both on the same page.
Sorry it's not the kind of action you wanted.
At this, Inner shook her head.
Nah, this is waaaay better.
Itachi sighed, more than tired with the night's events.
He had put the kyuubi container to sleep with a light yet effective genjutsu while simultaneously freeing Deidara and Hidan from the genjutsu his younger brother had put them under.
Unfortunately, Sasuke had made it quite difficult and complex.
However, he would be able to overcome it soon.
Especially since he planned to teach his little brother a lesson with the help of the other Akatsuki members.
Nobody took what was his.
BOOOM
"Oh Kami forgive me." Sakura mumbled, feeling bad for whoever had to clean the mess she was leaving behind.
She had just punched a rather sizable hole through the wall where Sasuke's head had been a minute ago.
The pinkette pulled her fist out, which was now covered in dust and powder.
"Missed me." A voice whispered into her ear.
Using her arm to swipe the air, She tried to aim for him, only to get caught by his hand.
"Let go Uchiha."
He smirked, pulling her closer.
"Never."
Her heart stopped-
"Not until I use you to break my brother…"
-only to palpitate so loud she was afraid he would hear.
"….and that rock inside him that he calls a heart."
Her eyes widened at his close proximity.
The dark haired man's eyes held something in them.
Hurt…
Anger…
Pain…
Suffering….
...curiosity?
"Sakura."
The way he caressed the syllables of her name with that sinful voice of his made her breathe in deeply in hopes of keeping her head clear and her mind sharp.
"You're actually useful to me after all."
And Sasuke, the cold and cruel man did the most insane thing imaginable, He crashed his lips to hers, thoroughly scaring and exciting the living shit out of her.
