Greetings! Hey look another chapter! I hope you guys like it! Thanks to bbarbie325 for the review! I appreciated it! :D

Anyways onwards with the story! I own nothing...

Sakura watched as Naruto got ready for Kiba's party. She smirked as he combed his hair in the mirror and smirked as he tripped trying to find the right pair of skinny jeans that might get him lucky. The pinkette brought her knees to her chest and wrapped her bandaged arms around them. Sakura had made sure to clean the new wounds best she could while Naruto made KD for the both of them. He also had her explain why the fight happened, just like the older brother he was to her. They agreed to tell Mom about it as soon as she got home. Sakura didn't mind, she needed someone to talk to.
Resting her head on her knees she watched as Naruto gave his hair one more flip before turning to her. "Well how do I look?" Sakura raised an eyebrow as she took in his slightly-ripped faded orange skinny jeans, the black Sons of Anarchy t-shirt and a dark blue hoodie.
"You look like a bruised orange," Sakura snorted before a smile graced her lips. Naruto gave her a fake wounded look.
"Oh you pain me Sakura-chan. Anyways," Naruto recovered and walked over the rosette. "Have fun tonight. Order pizza watch a movie, just if you're not coming to the party don't go out. You know how it is on Fridays." He said crouching before Sakura who nodded in return.
"And I want you to stay at Kiba's tonight, sleep there until I come and get you tomorrow. Don't get drunk and do something stupid, I don't need to be burying your ass in the ground just yet thank you." Sakura sat patting Naruto on the head. He smiled his regular goofy grin before standing up and kissing Sakura on the forehead.
"I promise blossom." He said and then he was gone, out the door in a flash. Sakura sighed and closed her eyes before her ring tone went off. The sound made her jump, making her wince at the soreness of her joints. Picking her little cheap LG up Sakura quickly answered once she recognized the number.
"Mom?"
"Hey baby, are you okay?" Her mother sounded worried and Sakura wondered if Naruto had told her about the fight. Probably not but Sakura still wondered and if he did she would kick his ass into next week.
"Yeah I'm okay, just a rough day need to talk to you when you get home." Sakura replied rubbing her hand over her face.
"Alright I'll be home a little later tonight, a shipment is coming in about now and it's going to take a while. Are you okay for another hour?"
"Yeah no problem."
"Okay little one, I'll talk to you later, love you bye."
"Love you too Mom." And with that Sakura hung up. She looked at the time noting the twenty minutes past nine and decided to hop in the shower. She quickly ordered a pizza before and turned on her radio before she stripped and quickly jumped into the hot water.

Sasuke sighed as he found himself circling Kiba's neighborhood. He honestly didn't want to go to a party tonight. He thought he could maybe corner Sakura when she was drunk and get some answers out of her but when Naruto had arrived alone the Uchiha knew that she wouldn't be showing up. Finally giving up Sasuke drove away from the Inuzuka's house and found himself driving to Sakura's apartment. He didn't know he was even there until he put the car in park. It was as if something had called him to this place. Sighing he got out of the car and made his way up. Sasuke wanted answers for questions he didn't know yet.
Stopping in front of the apartment he heard the TV and knew that someone was home indeed. Giving a quick look at the time, 9:40... I hope I'm not interrupting... Sasuke was a stoic asshole most of the time, but he could be a gentleman too. Knocking on the door, he heard a 'coming' and a rustle.
"Okay so $23.45 rig-" Sakura caught Sasuke off guard and he knew he had caught her off-guard as well. Her pink hair, which had been neatly trimmed by Ino, was damp from a shower, her cheeks flushed and lips puffy in the kind of way you wanted to kiss them and see how soft they were. Her eyes, well it seemed as if you had been caught in a storm full of jade. But her black tank top was another story, it dropped low giving Sasuke a hint of her ample chest and lime green bra, and her sweat pants hugged her tiny, sculpted waist. Sakura had a body of a model, but the dark-haired teen could see the muscle hidden underneath of her ivory skin and knew she could pack a punch. Sasuke didn't seem to notice the cuts and bruises anymore, just pure beauty. But her voice shook him out of his reverie before he could think anymore of it. Or let any of it travel south. "Uchiha-san? Is everything alright? I thought you would be at Kiba's party." The tough girl act was dropped and now she held formality. It was a whole different person and Sasuke wondered if Sakura was bi-polar.
"Hn, I came to check if you were okay." Okay that was a lie. Maybe. Not. Sasuke's brain finally clicked and he found out the reason why he had really came. He really did want to see if she was okay. He had watched her defend her mother in a sense. Sasuke knew that Sakura could have easily just ignored the insults, but maybe Sakura truly was respectable when it came to her family.
"Oh," Sakura smiled and Sasuke wondered if the pinkette truly knew how breathtaking she was. What the hell? "Well I ordered a pizza would you like to join me?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow. She had only known him for two days and she was inviting him in for pizza? But Sasuke found himself shrugging. His brother wouldn't be home tonight anyways, so it didn't make a difference and Sasuke really didn't want to go to that party.
"Sure." He finally replied and Sakura stepped into the apartment to let Sasuke through. The smoke-filled place he had been in just yesterday seemed to be cleared out and it looked more homier than it had the first time Sasuke had stepped in. He felt a cool breeze and saw that Sakura had opened the balcony glass door, letting the screen take its place. A lamp beside the couch gave the room a homely glow and the TV noise in the background seemed to have Sakura comfortable. The rest of the house was dark though and Sasuke guessed it was to save power.
"Well you can come in, you don't have to stand there like a lump-on-a-log." Sakura chuckled as she settled herself onto her couch and lit a cigarette. Sasuke gave a small smirk as he discarded his shoes and placed his coat on a hook near the door. He walked over to the couch and sat on the other end while Sakura pulled her knees up. "So what do you really want?"
This question seemed to hit dead on. What did he want other than checking up on her? Sasuke shrugged not giving an answer. How could he ask a question he still couldn't figure out? "What? Cat got your tongue? Come on Uchiha-san, spit it out."
"Sasuke."
Sasuke watched as the pinkette's brows narrowed in confusion to his response and gave a small smug smirk. "Uchiha-san is my father, call me Sasuke." As Sakura's mouth formed a small frown, Sasuke dropped the smirk and turned his head to look at her. Her brow's were knitted together, and her kissable lips drawn into a thoughtful frown. Sasuke reached her eyes with his and noted the confusion in them.
"Why? I only just met you yesterday." Sakura finally said and Sasuke's small smirk returned.
"Because, I want you too."
"Hmpf," Sakura crossed her arms and gave a small pout. "Fine, but you have to call my Sakura." Sasuke rolled his eyes in annoyance. He was about to respond when the doorbell rang. Noting it must have been the pizza, Sasuke watched as Sakura grabbed the money and went to the door. Her tight top showed Sasuke something that he guessed were scars of some kind. He was going to ponder more on it when he saw a small tattoo of a white hollow circle on her left shoulder and he wondered what it meant. He also wondered why he cared so much. Sakura was right, she had only just met him and now he was here in her living room going to eat pizza with her. Who the hell was she? She made him want to get to know her. Made him want to protect her. The memories came faster than Sasuke could explain.
Flashback
A young Sasuke raced through the park with his brother at his heels. Playing tag with two people could be fun if the one player didn't have long legs like Itachi. Sasuke cursed him for that but he still had fun because it was rare to have a minute with his older brother nowadays. Sure he had Naruto, but Naruto lived on the other side of town, where Sasuke's father said bad people lived.
"Sasuke! Watch out!" Sasuke had been running so fast he hadn't realized how fast exactly. Plus the girl was running, crying blindly by herself.
BAM! Sasuke fell to the ground, stunned at first. As he gained his balance back he saw the weirdest thing. A girl about his age, with PINK hair! But she was crying and Sasuke thought that he had made her cry. "Hey! Are you okay? I'm sorry!" Sasuke said jumping to his feet and picking the girl up by her arm.
"No it's my fault I'm sorry." The unknown girl sniffed, and Sasuke saw that her hand was sliced open.
"What happened? Did you do this when I bumped into you?" The young Uchiha asked suddenly worried that he had caused harm to a girl. Oh boy, Naruto would never let him live it down if he did. But the pinkette gasped and ripped her hand away and shook her head.
"N-no. I'm sorry!" She whimpered and went to run away. Sasuke gasped, not wanting his sort-of-new-friend to disappear and grabbed her.
"Don't go, my Oniisan can fix it!" Sasuke said with a small smile. The girl blinked and Sasuke saw the brilliant green gems that he called eyes. Like a jaded storm. What a combination, pink hair and green eyes. Pretty. "What's your name?"
"Sakura, what's yours?"
"Sasuke, come on let's go find Itachi-niisan." Sasuke smiled.
-Two years later-
"What 'do you mean they moved?" Sasuke questioned Sakura's neighbors. It was a few days after his parents car crash and he had finally gotten the strength to get out of his house. He had come straight to Sakura's to talk. But the house was empty, door ajar, everything, gone. Sasuke had cornered Sakura's neighbors and they told him they had moved. Sasuke's best friend of two years, gone. He knew then, he would never trust anyone else again, because they always left.
"Sasuke!" Said person blinked and met the jaded storm he had forced himself to forget appear. He shook his head and pushed Sakura off of him making her fall backwards. He underestimated his own strength as he watched in horror as she smashed against her wall.
"Sakura!" He gasped finally finding his breath as he raced over to her. She scrambled away from him and Sasuke watched the blood run down her face. He was sure it was a new wound even with all the scratches from Karin.
"Get away from me!" She snarled. Sasuke noticed the same look from when she was fighting Karin. "Get out of my house Uchiha!" She spat his name like it was poison. Sasuke didn't hesitate. He grabbed his coat, slipped on his shoes and left.
