Title: From Different Worlds.

Summary: "What? You're too good for us cupcake?" he made a quick move to the left when she tried to dodge him, failing once again in getting away. She never got away, not from them, not from him. How much more bullying can one particular girl get from one particular guy?

CHAPTER 1

unleash the madness.

"Please! Don't..." the man screeched, his screams falling on deaf ears. Two pair of arms in each side brought him down to a seat.

"Hands where I can see them." the voice came from the darkest corner of the office. It was an strict order, no negotiation whatsoever.

"Aww we're not in the mood tonight, no lucky day for you" The blue-eyed boy laughed in the terrified face, pulling the man's hands in the desk and tightening his grip on his wrist when he struggled to pull his hands down.

"Oh now you want to keep your hands to yourself? Nobody likes a thief old man!" He laughed sending a punch to trembling fingers against the table, managing to get his point across: he wanted them on the table.

Shaking his head from the dizziness - effects of his latest state thanks to a new merchandise Shikamaru brought – Naruto laughed once again, that glint in his eyes said he was ready for action, the Hyuga member tsked at him from the other side of the old man, full well knowing it wasn't the brightest idea to bring Naruto on this high note, but it was Naruto, he never backed down from a fun night out.

"Please I have a family to support. Please! I'll do anything you want!"

"I want you to roll the dice, can you do that for me Roy?" the onyx eyed boy snapped out of the blue, patience wearing thin, he had places to be, pussies to fuck.

Naruto gave him a weird look.

"I thought we we're going to take our time here teme?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes at him, and kept the intense glare focused on his prey like a good predator always does.

"No need to prolong the inevitable dobe" the man in the leather seat cried out a sob, tears coming down his cheeks.

"Please I'll do anything" he sobbed in hysterics.

"Hey hey" Sasuke shushed him, making sure he got his attention, his eyes set on the screeching man and him only.

Neji looked up to his friend, he was definitely not in the mood, you can tell by looking at Sasuke's sore mood lately, the way he was acting was distracting him, like if he were some place else, like if nothing was going for him, like if he didn't have enough money to spend, enough drugs to get himself in, or enough pussies to be in, it was like if Sasuke were anxious all the time, and that…Neji didn't like.

It was distracting them, it was distracting him and that meant only trouble.

In this business you can't afford to get distracted.

One wrong move and its game over for you.

"Listen up, take the dice from the table and throw it carefully" the man gave him a confused look, Sasuke Uchiha was known by his mind games, he liked to corner their victims, play with them, make them believe for a second they had the slightest advantage to get away, only to come up as the only winner in the end.

Mind games, like when you make a certain someone throw a dice to define how many fingers you can keep.

"Wha-why? What for?" the man managed to let out in a sob.

"1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 means I can keep your fingers, the same disgusting fingers you used to steal from me" he said coldly, his tone of voice rather intimidating.

The man cried, trying to pull himself back but to no avail, strong arms kept him in the seat, hands on the table.

The man shook his head and looked up to stern evil eyes.

"And if I get a 6?" the man didn't even know how he managed to get the question out, it wasn't even his real question he meant to ask him if he would spare his life if he got a six.

Sasuke smirked, one eyebrow raised, one shrug of his shoulders.

"You throw it again."

"What the hell was that!" Neji snapped giving Sasuke a strong push while they were making their way to his car, the onyx eyed boy didn't take long in respond when he advanced on him set on giving him a piece of his mind but it was Naruto who came up between the two.

"Hey hey calm down you pussies"

"So? I didn't feel like sparring him! Suck my dick Hyuga" Sasuke snapped, pushing out the smoke coming from his mouth, taking a final and long drag of his already worn out cigarette before throwing it back to hit – unsuccessfully – the Huyga member.

"He confessed you piece of shit! What the hell were you trying to do out there!"

He couldn't help it, Sasuke was getting more sadistic every time, he was completely unleashed… the way he pulled out that man's limbs and laughed about it, he wasn't even high it was just pure mindless sickness that possessed him to do it.

"Beam fame and lie down to sleep Hyuga, lesson learned" Sasuke threw him a look and then laughed it off going back to walk.

Neji kept starring at the back of his head like if he had grown a third head.

Completely and utterly unleashed.

Naruto was the one to cut the tension.

"Im starving dude"

"That's what happens when you smoke it all off" Neji gave him a light push that made Naruto stumble a little.

"Or when you're Naruto" Sasuke laughed, Neji soon followed and just like that it was all good again or well at least till the next havoc.

.

.

"Dude there's Karin" Naruto nodded in direction of the girl that was surrounded by a couple of her friends eagerly waiting in one of the leather couches of the night club for the onyx eyed boy to make a move, Sasuke simply answered with a shrug keeping his options open, he was not used to repeat, especially with Karin she was so clingy lately.

Naruto sighed.

"C'mon man, I promised her you'd give her at least 10 minutes…" Sasuke turned his head and gave him a questioning look. "Why would you do that for?"

Naruto gave him a 'you're/so/stupid/look'.

"She sucked me" he explained like if it were the obvious thing in the world.

Sasuke laughed and shook his head following a brunette in a red dress who 'unintentionally' bumped him with her ass grinding against him suggestively.

Sasuke not needing introduction simply put his hand in the lower of her back, the girl acknowledged his presence turned around and smiled suggestively at him.

"Hey" she looked up with flirty eyes.

He smirked as he dragged her towards a wall sticking his tongue in the deepest corners of her mouth.

After some heavy drinking, a few smokes, and some action in the back of an ally Konoha's finest headed straight to an abandoned warehouse with Gaara on the lead, a new supplier was showing his face around Konohakagure so they might as well introduce themselves, and if it turns out to be a rat…well give him a proper introduction of their 9mm Colt.

Being from Konohagakure had its advantage people respected you, even if you were not from the neighborhood, they stayed away from you, they feared you, they liked it that way and they intended to keep it that way. So if a new supplier showed his face around different neighborhoods selling whatever, they would be the first to know. And if trouble came, they were ready. Like when those punks from Akatsuki came looking for trouble, wanting bigger bags, lower prices no seller would cooperate with them, they had their own clients, they came first.

So Akatsuki started it but Konoha finished it.

Of course they'll be back, they always were.

"Its all good man" Gaara promised when they were coming out of the abandoned warehouse Sasuke gave him a look and shrugged his shoulder.

"I don't know man" Naruto said while stroking the back of his neck.

Sasuke turned to look at him, he wasn't entirely convinced by this new founded supplier.

"The prices seemed accurate" Neji shrugged.

Before Sasuke could make any comment Shikamaru came running towards them agitated.

"They're in Konoha! They're shooting down Riko's" it was all it took for the five boys to head straight to Konoha's greengrocer, if Riko's was being assaulted not only someone was breaking into the heart of Konoha's dope reserve, that also meant the police would be in a couple of hours to investigate after all it was already dawn, Riko would be gone for a season or two and all the dope will be confiscated and that will take months of work to get back what they lost so they would make sure to bring down every prick that had its hands on this.

This was what their life consisted of, this is what they've become there was no break for them, every night was a hectic one and is it worth it?

Hell yeah.

Sakura turned in her sleep, her problems were finally catching up to her, she hasn't managed to get any sleep the last few days, all due to stress coming in any forms, school work, rent, builds, gunshots in the middle of the night, trying to come home before any rapists were around, she could blame it on the neighborhood all she wanted, nobody was listening.

Sakura was not the typical girl from her town, the typical girl that would settle herself for a man to woo her and make her some children, live to feed him and clean the house.

No. She was better than that, she expected more out of her life, she wanted to get her law degree and be a professional like she always dreamed, like she promised her grandpa before dying under this same roof.

Who would know that dreaming would cost her so much? It was not school that was taking all her money, no. She had a full scholarship thanks to the effort she put into work. But transport was another deal, nobody in their right minds would ever think of crossing Konoha, for what? Just to pick up one single girl that actually went to college and wanted to make something out of her life? In Konoha?

Get a car!

So she had to take several cabs in different places to get to one place. And she did this every day. It was draining her life slowly and painfully.

After all this she had to make sure to get home before 6 pm, when streets weren't crowded and the sun was still up to get to what? A flat with no electrical service and a bathroom with no heater.

She busted her ass off working sometimes even took the night shifts risking her life to manage and pay the rent for what?

Sakura teaches contemporary dance two blocks away from her building, sometimes even gets caught up in the moment with the kids from the neighborhood taking even some breaking dance lessons from them, she adored those kids and wished really bad they would never end up with a gun in their hands instead of a book.

She enjoyed what she did, it was not the kind of job she wanted to do the rest of her life, but she had fun with the kids and she managed, of course it wasn't enough to pay the rent so she had to take late night shifts in Ino's flower shop to get through when times got rough.

One thing was for sure: she never took dirty money or lowered herself to get a penny. No matter how many propositions came her way she wouldn't lower herself to that.

Not that people seemed to get the message though.

Figures! Being the only girl in this neighborhood who hasn't 'associated' – as in any type or form of physical and emotional contact - herself with the usual criminals you find in Konoha or anyone around here…you'd definitely be picked on or even molested.

After all nobody liked to be something 'weird' or 'strange' Miss Goody good two shoes couldn't surround herself with.

She just kept ignoring them, looked down at the ground and kept walking. And people usually minded their own business, not paying attention to the little things.

Usually.

Sakura jumped from her sleep due to the turmoil going outside, she groaned covering her face with her hands trying to go back to sleep. It will never end.

She got up when a big red 6 glared at her from her nightstand.

She ignored the commotion outside not even caring to take a look out the window and headed straight for the bathroom.

A really cold shower expected her!

Coming out of her building and closing the gate behind her she saw all people gathered around the block, the greengrocer round the corner seemed to have everyone's attention. She wrapped her arms against her chest and walked her usual sidewalk across from the commotion, her curiosity took the better of her and kept glancing across the sidewalk, when she saw the burned down greengrocer, everything crumbled down to pieces. The yellow police warning 'not to cross' was visible to her now, she furrowed her eyebrows when she caught a look of something she couldn't quite grasp on the floor, lying there, all crippled and…

She gasped and stopped walked altogether.

It was a man, it was Riko.

She felt an intense glare on her, like if something was coming her way, there in the middle of the street a couple of feet away from the mass was Sasuke Uchiha looking frustrated as ever his casual buddies hanging around looking like they wanted to kill somebody and by the way he was glaring at her with his cold onyx eyes it almost seemed as if she was the target.

She held gazes with him for a minute feeling all the built anger in his eyes, the frustration he must be feeling of having lost his drugs, she turned her eyes away feeling extremely uncomfortable of what just happened, she wasn't used to get this much of attention she was getting lately from him.

His eyes followed her and her casual way of saying 'fuck this', she was a stranger and he didn't like strangers. Not on his territory.

So Sasuke Uchiha swore Sakura Haruno would take more part in this life, whether she wanted it or not.

Cause the other option was banish her, and he didn't like that. He didn't want that. That was no use for his plans.

"Hey" Naruto gave him a light push meant to get his attention, but the boy was in the exact same position: biting his lower lip with his hands on his hips and those dark calculating eyes that were set in a particular someone.

It didn't go unnoticed by the blue eyed boy the way Sasuke was always so carefully intent on his neighbor.

Sakura-chan.

He didn't like it, it terrified him sometimes, so he needed to focus him on something else but it was never easy to persuade Sasuke of anything.

"What should we do now?" Naruto tried to get his focus back but Sasuke's eyes were still glued to a particular pink headed girl waiting in her usual corner for the usual bus, very much aware of onyx eyes following her every move.

It was only fair, he needed to vent, he was frustrated he had just lost the biggest compound of dope in Konoha, and this is what Sasuke did when he was beyond pissed: taking it out on somebody else, and he just felt like taking it out on her, because she was there, a couple of steps off his reach, there to tease him, taking on airs of importance, so careless and distant, like she came from another world a much better, perfect richer world.

Time to set her straight.

Naruto grew alarmed when Sasuke took definite steps towards his target, but recovered to follow him around and maybe try and stop him.

'Try' being the key word.

"Hey hey, where are you going? C'mon" Naruto tried and take a hold of his arm, Sasuke gave him a look before giving Naruto's hand's on his arm a nasty glare, it was meant to be a warning, but Naruto was never the brightest.

"Im gonna go and say hi" even if his tone seemed light and careless, there was so much coldness behind it, you could tell by the way he shook Naruto's hands away from him. "Got a problem with that dobe?" Sasuke exclaimed very much aware of the fact Naruto would have never gone against him if he weren't seriously troubled with the idea of Sasuke confronting Sakura in any way.

It didn't go unnoticed by the onyx eyed boy the inner conflict his friend seemed to be in, did Naruto know Sakura?

Did anyone? Or was she just a stranger to him? This thought got him spiraling in a world of questions and 'what ifs' that didn't necessarily pacify his mood. His blood boiled just thinking about the possibilities his friend may have a relationship in any way to the pinkette.

Naruto let out a sigh he knew Sakura-chan was different from anyone else, she couldn't take this kind of life, and she didn't want to take part of it either and he could respect that he didn't even want to put her through this life he picked for himself either, but Sasuke would never understand that some people just wanted to stay out of trouble. Now is not that Naruto knew her or anything, they barely talked cause he couldn't even bring himself to say 'Hi' without looking down in shame, yes he might be an asshole most of the times, especially when he was high of his ass but he had a soul unlike…

Sasuke.

Sasuke knew by the look in the boy's face and the way his eyes grew so distant that he wasn't giving away anything and he definitely didn't like this. Who was he to keep secrets from him? He would find out each and every one of them because he can, because he will. And if any of those secrets had to do with Sakura he might have to cut some ties.

When he was set on keep walking to his target it was too late, she was already gone.

Next time then, Sasuke was done keeping his distance.

Author's Note: yes I know it was pretty much a lame chapter with no interaction whatsoever but yeah this was meant to be a character build-up chapter, so you can get an idea of what their backgrounds are like, where they come from and who they are. So yes more SasuSaku next chappie. :P
