Recap:

"Shikamaru, stop fooling around!" Sasuke said with an irritated voice and walked into his cabin with Sakura in her arms.

Shikamaru sighted and stood up, looking down at Temari before offering her his hand to help her up. She took it and smiled at him when she got up. He was on his way to smile back, but then the reast of Gaaras crew seemed to understand what was going on. They were on their was to get over to Sasuke's ship, but the navy soldiers stopped them.

End of recap


"There, now she can rest here until she wakes up", Sasuke said to himself when he laid Sakura down on his bed in his cabin. He could hear some screaming and metal meeting metal now and then, but he ignored it all. Thous filthy pirates wouldn't be able to get into his cabin, the navy soldiers were guarding the door with guns ready in their hands.

He looked at Sakura before walking over to a black box. He opend it and took out a shiny sword with Uchiha S. ingraved on the top. Every navy soldier got that kind of sword when they joined and when they got promoted their names were ingraved on it. He loved it like a fat kid loved cake. It was his baby and no one was going to take it away from him. He'd named it Betsy, but he hadn't told anyone that. He was never going to tell anyone.

He bit his lip lightly before putting the sword.. Eh, Betsy.. in the box and turned to look at Sakura who was still laying on the bed. She was bleeding. He glared at the wound and took out a paper towel from.. Wherever it was.. And cleanded her wound a little. He threw the paper towel on the floor and then turned back to look at Sakura. He hesitated for a second or two before smirking to himself. Then he bent down. Caressed her cheek and then looked at her for the last time before.. Getting a bitch slap? He stumbled back a little and put a hand on his cheek.

"What the-", he interrupted himself and saw that Sakura had woken up and man did she look pissed off.

"What do you think you're doing, Sasuke?" she almost screamed before throwing a pillow towards him, which he caught of course.

"I-", he was interrupted at once, another pillow was thrown by Sakura, this one he didn't caught and it hit his face quite hard. He'd forgotten that Sakura was that strong, he almost stumbled back a few steps. This made Sakura smirk. She didn't know why thought. She liked Sasuke as a friend, why was she throwing pillows at him?

Sasuke soon glared at Sakura, why did she throw pillows at him? He loved her, she loved him.. Everybody loved Uchiha Sasuke! And if they didn't he had some thing to say to them. And Betsy too. She did love him, right?


Outside the cabin, a small war had started. Pirate versus navysoldier, man versus man and woman versus woman. That was actually how it was. No man would even admitt that he wanted to fight a woman. Because it would be to easy to win. And if a man fought a woman and won after a minute or so, the other men would think that he was weak, a chicken, someone who didn't have the gutts to fight someone that was the same size or even bigger then himself. And the women, well.. They didn't have any other choise but to fight each other so.. Yeah. Even Hinata was in the fight, not to much but at least she was in it. She was fighting one of the female soldiers that were in the navy. There weren't many female soldiers, but they existed. Naruto or Neji was by her side all the time, sometimes both of them. So she felt protected. And she was actually kinda good at fighting with a sword. Nothing you thought of the shy girl, but she could fight.

"Hinata, watch out!" Naruto shouted when a sword was swung in her direction. Hinata noticed it and ducked.

"T-Thank you, Naruto-kun", she said as loud as she could.

Naruto smiled at her before turning back to the man he was currently fighting. He was quite big, a lot of muscles under his clothes. But Naruto wasn't afraid. He was working for that Uchiha, who'd taken Sakura from them. Okey, maybe not taken, more like taken back, since it was Naruto and everyone else who'd taken her at first, but still. Naruto loved Sakura, she was kind of her new best friend or something like that.

Now, Uzumaki Naruto being in his own little world in the middle of a fight isn't that good, not at all. Especially not when he's got a very, very big male in front of him with a sword in his hand, ready to swing. Suddenly Naruto heard Hinata scream at him to get away from there, Naruto looked up and saw that the man in front of him had his sword up in the air. The next second he felt someone push him to the side. Whoever it was, he or she had just saved Naruto from almost getting killed. Insead, this person would probably not feel so good the next few day, if this person survived that is. Naruto shaked his head i little and looked at the person..

"Neji?!" he screamed.

There, in front of him, lay Neji with pain written all over his face. Naruto starred at him in fear a few seconds before looking up at the man with the sword, more like glaring at him like he was death himself. Soon he stood up, with his sword in a tight grip.

Not far away, Gaara had succesfullt made his way to Sasuke's ship. By the expression on his face, he was ready to kill. Very ready. Anyone who got in his way was going to tast metal for the rest of their lifes. For some, their lifes weren't going to be that long. If you understand what I mean?

"Lee, Kiba, Kankuro, Tenten, take care of the idiotic assholes over there! The rest of you, take them over there!" he shouted so loud that the fishes got heartattacks, or not.

He turned his head. The sight in front of him made him stop at once. Neji, on the floor, coverd in his own blood. What the-? Gaara could feel his grip around the sword loosen a little. His.. Best friend.. No. The grip around the sword tightend and he looked up. Revenge is mine! he thought and smirked when he saw how scared the soldiers looked. Sweet!


Meanwhile

After the pillowthrowing was over, Sakura sat in the exact same spot for several minutes, she looked kind of depressed. Very depresseda actually. Sasuke had a worried expression on his face. Now the only questione is if it was real worry or just an act to win Sakura over yet again? He'd done it once, when they were kids, so why not do it again?

"Sakura, I'm sorry if you're mad at me.. But I just want you home, safe. Your parents are waiting for you.. And if thous pirates would take you home, you'll never know how long it'll take, what they will do to you, if you'll even be alive when you get back to Konoha!" he said as convinsing as he was able to. For a second, it looked like Sakura bought it all..

"Sasuke", she begain with a sweet smile on her face, "you are so full of shit! They are not evil when you get to know them and when you don't try to kill them! You're just pissed off because Gaara's defeted you every single time you've fighted!.. Oh, don't look do damn suprised! He's told me everyting! You're just a good old coward hiding behind my dad's power and money, I can't belive he's let you stay in our innercircle for so long! And I can't belive I haven't relised all this before!"

Under the time she was talking/screaming at him, she slowly started to make her way out of the big bed. When she was finnished with what she had to say, she stood in front of him. Looking at his cheast since that was as her height allowed her to.. See? Sure, it wasn't a bad sight at all, but she looked up at his face instead. He looked.. Shocked.

Since when did Sakura defend pirates? It didn't sound normal in Sasuke's ears.

"Sakura.. My dear, dear Sakura.. Don't say things like that about.. Them", he said with a smile on his lips. He took a step closer to her, caressing her cheek lightly. Sakura closed her eyes at the touch, not having one thought about how that little scene might end up if she doesn't say no. But she couldn't controll herself, Sasuke even touching her was like five bottles of sake at once. Her whole body just.. Didn't want to obey her.

"S-Sasuke-kun, could you p-please don't do that..?" she asked, as understandable as she could.

Sasuke smirked at this. His free hand soon found his way to her shoulder and then down, towards her stomach. But the hand stopped about halfway. You can only guess where. The hand that was caressing her cheek could soon be found on the back of her head. The other hand started to unbotton her shirt. Sasuke got halfway before he looked at her.. Druged face and bit his lip lightly. Seconds later, he leaned forwards and crashed his lips agains hers. Their first kiss. Mm..

Sasuke closed his eyes and smiled in his head. He was going to enjoy this moment for the rest of his life, no matter how long it-

Bitchslap.

Sasuke stumbled back and looked at Sakura with a confused look. What? He glared at her, then started to walk towards her. She backed away.

"Sasuke, don't.. Don't come any closer!" Sakura whisperd, tears in her eyes. Her shirt had been riped open when she bitchslapped him, her hair was still wet and it was all messed up. Sasuke looked at her with an now entertained expression.

"Aw, don't be like that, my cherry blossom", he said and took another step in her direction. She tried to take another step back, but as unlucky as she was, there was a wall stopping her at once. DAMMIT! she thought, wishing she could be back on Gaara's ship, dry and safe. Yes, she had to admitt it. She felt so much safer on a ship full of pirates then on a ship that Uchiha Sasuke was on.

"I said don't come any closer, Sasuke", she said.

"Oh, Sakura.. You can't be seriouse if you think that you'll get away after that kiss", he said and smirked at her, "and since you actually kissed back before you.. Ended the kiss.. You're not getting away any easier"

Sakura starred at him. What was wrong with him?


The fight was over and be lucky you don't know how it ended. Many people were eighter dead or wounded. And the funny thing is that it was only soldiers that were dead. The pirates were too skilled to get killed. Although some of them were seriously injured. Neji, for example. And Kiba. Otherwise, there weren't so many bigger injuris.

Shino, Sasuke's closest man ever, was one of the dead. Killed by Gaara himself. Sasuke and Shino had been close friends since they were children and Gaara knew that. Shino lay there, on the deck. A pool of blood had formed by his body and his eyes was wide open, as if he was looking at the clouds and not blinking because he wanted to see every single cloud that floated by before he died. Unfortunately for him, his life was already over.

Since the little war on deck seemed to be over, Gaara took his chance to make his way to Sasuke's cabin. It was probably much nicer then his cabin, but not for long. Gaara was going to make sure that it wasn't going to be if Sasuke'd done something bad to Sakura.

He had some cuts on his arms and his shirt was a little ripped here and there, but otherwise he seemed to be just fine. Well he was Gaara, the Sabaku no Gaara, known and feared pirate in Japan, why wouldn't he be fine?

He soon made his way towards Sasuke's cabin, got distracted on the way by a soldier who seemed to be stubborn enough to not let him live. Stupid choice there. Gaara raised his sword and swish the soldier was dead. After that he continued to walk towards the cabin, determined to help Sasuke sleep well the coming night. Very well.

When he got to the door, he first stopped, listening to every single move that came from in there. He courld here sulking. Sakura. Someone walked and then someone said something about a.. Kiss? "You actually kissed back"? Gaara felt how anger roase inside him and he couldn't stop himself this time, he almost kicked the door open and the second he was inside the cabin he found Sakura standing by the wall, shirt ripped open and hair all messy and Sasuke about a meter away, cheek red and an entertained look on his face. Gaara gave him a death glare when he turned around in surprice.

"Gaara!" Sakura almost screamed in relief, smiling at him. He didn't even look at her.

"What did you do to her, Uchiha?" he asked in a low tone.

Sasuke smirked and almost laughed when he saw that Gaara's grip around the sword tightned.

"Gaara, Gaara, Gaara.. What do you think I did? I did exactly what she wanted me to do, shared our first kiss thoghther. Man, she's a good kisser, did you know that?" he said and smirked even wider.

Gaara glared at him even more and almost ran towards him to kill the bastard, but just almost. He looked at Sakura for a second or two, loved what he saw and then turned back to Sasuke, who still smirked at him. The only thing that'd changed over the two seconds was that he now had a sword in his hand. One of thous expensive swords that all the important navy soldiers had. Gaara'd seen that specific one many times. Sasuke called it Betsy, but Sasuke didn't know that Gaara knew that he called his sword that name. Maybe it was time to let him know? No, it was not time for jokes or humiliation. This had come to be one of the most seriouse battles in Gaara's life. All because of the pink haired, 16 year old princess that stood in the same room as him.

He didn't like it.

"Die, Uchiha, die!" he practicly practically screamed some seconds later before running towards the Uchiha, more ready then ever to kill.

Sasuke was taken by surprice a little at first, but he still had time to gather himself and make himself ready for a fight. He knew he had a chance to win, Gaara was already a little tired from the first battle, which seemed to be over. And if Gaara was tired, he would be exhaused very soon.

"No, why don't you die, Sabaku?" he screamed back.

And the battle had started. Pirate versus pretty boy in a navy costume. Man versus man. Love kanji versus chickenbutt hair. Both of them raised their swords, glaring at each other. They both knew what the other wanted and they knew that they wanted the same thing to themselves and they also knew that they were not going to let the other one get it. And what was the thing they both wanted? Sakura. They had both had a tast of that bubbely personality, that beautiful smile and laugh, thous green eyes and thous pink lips. Better then a thousend years in paradise. Well, it was like a thousend years in paradise so..

And that's why both of them wanted to win so badly.

"Gaara, Sasuke.. STOP IT!" Sakura screamed, tears in her eyes. But neighter one of them listned.

The fight got more and more violent for every third second or so. They moved out of the cabin and continued the fight out on the deck. The soldiers that weren't dead and the pirates that weren't much too injured made their way to a safe place on deck or on Gaara's ship.

"Why.. Won't.. You.. Just.. Give.. Up?!" Sasuke screamed/bellowed while he swung his sword. Gaara glared at him as he both ducked Sasuke's attackars and came with some himself. He'd gotten some deep wounds on his arms and cheast. But that wasn't going to stop him, no sir. Or?

Soon, he felt something hard hitting the back or his head. Not again! was all he thought before the world went black, yet again. He was so focused on fighting Sasuke that he didn't notice one of the soldiers who'd gotten a board or whatever it was and slowly approaching him. (A/N: I too tired to write any longer on the fight so..)

Sasuke looked down at the unconscious Gaara. Almost smiling at the sight. He won. Uchiha Sasuke won over the infamous pirate Sabaku no Gaara! Let the world know! Sabaku no Gaara was defeated! And maybe that should not be just for this time, what does defeated forever sound like? Sasuke liked how it sounded. Konoha here we come! Prison for eternity? No, it seemed as if Sakura had taken intresst in the filthy pirate, by the look she gave him when he got hit in the back of his head. So there was just one solution; Hang the bastard.

"Get the filthy pirates over to my ship again and set sail, we're going to Konoha!" Sasuke shouted and glared at Naruto and everybody else that were on Gaara's ship. Then he turned to Sakura just in time to se her running towards him, fist in the air. He caught her hand and stopped her.

"You're staying with me from now on, love", he said and halfly smiled and halfly smirked at her. She glared at him.

Sasuke told one of his men to take her to one of the cells, together with all the other of Gaara's crew. Gaara himself was chained to a mast so Sasuke could keep his eyes on him. He was not getting away, not.

After everyone were where they were suppoused to be, Sasuke took a deep breath and looked around on the ship. His eyes stopped at a body on deck, a dead body. Shino. Sasuke felt how tears started to make their way to his eyes. No. He could not be dead! Not Shino. Sasuke shut his eyes and took three deep breathes and then opend them again. This could not be happening.

No, now's not the time to get all depressed. Shino.. Shino's gone, but I have to be strong! He thought.

After a few minutes they were on their way to Konoha again, three navysoldiers were on Gaara's ship, right behind Sasuke's ship. Konoha here we come!
