" Trouble Life"

Chapter 3

" How It Began"

Everyone except for Sakura, Hinata and Sai left the Uchiha mansion. Sasuke, Shino and Neji rode on their motorcycles while Naruto and Shikamaru were in one car while Tenten and Kiba were in the car right behind them.

" So Shikamaru, what are we doing exactly?" Naruto asked out of curiosity.

" How troublesome getting a new member... well we are on our way to Central. Apparently the sand gang might have a lead about Orochimaru." Shikamaru explained.

" Who is that?"

" Orochimaru is a drug lord who killed Sasuke's parents and his older brother and ever since then, he created a gang to seek revenge on the asshole."

" Oh okay... so what are we going to do once we get there?" Naruto asked. He had never been in this position before.

" Hopefully one thing we won't be doing is end up fighting. Fighting is such a drag." Shikamaru said.


When they arrived at Central, they all got out of the vehichles and immediatly spotted, Gaara, the leader outside of the club smoking a cigarette.

" Gaara." Sasuke yelled out as the rest of the gang followed him to reach Gaara.

" Uchiha, what the fuck do you want?" Gaara demanded as he exhale some more smoke out of his mouth.

" I heard someone from your little group knows something about Orochimaru." Sasuke stated.

" Bullshit Uchiha, I know nothing." Gaara spat out. Kiba started to walk up to him but Shino pulled him back, shaking his head at him.

" Well someone from your gang knows and I'm not in the mood to play your little fucking games."

Sasuke grabbed Gaara by the collar while Gaara immediately let go of his cigarette.

" Sasuke. I would let go of him if you know what's best for you."

Everyone turned their heads to gaze at a female with blond hair, another member of his gang.

" Temari." Shikamaru spat out as he watched Sasuke let go of her leader's collar.

" What the fuck are you guys doing here?" Asked Temari as she got closer to them.

" We heard that someone from your group knows some information about Orochimaru. We don't want any trouble we just want the info." Tenten mentioned.

" Fuck you bun girl!"

Temari pushed Tenten harshly, making her fall to the ground. Tenten gathered herself and got herself up from the ground and punched Temari in the face.

" Tenten that's enough!"

Neji yelled out to the girl and she turned to him and nodded to him. Naruto looked at them then noticed Temari taking out a knife and was about to stab Tenten, who had her back against hers.

" Tenten watch out!"

Naruto yelled out as he pushed Temari to the ground, taking him among with her. Naruto looked at her face and noticed she had hit her head against the curb and was now knocked out. He immediately got up and turned to look at everyone.

" What the fuck was that Gaara? You do know something otherwise why would Temari attack us so suddenly?"

Sasuke yelled out as he punched Gaara in the stomach. Gaara coughed up some blood and looked up to smirk at the Uchiha.

" Fuck you Uchiha!" Gaara launched at him and punched him in the face. Suddenly, Konkuro ran out of the club and saw everyone.

" Gaara! We have to leave! Someone inside saw you guys fighting and called the cops." Konkuro yelled out and Gaara nodded at his friend.

" We will finish this later Uchiha. Konkuro pick up Temari, we are leaving."

Gaara gazed his eyes into Sasuke's before the members ran off while Sasuke and the others went into their veichles and left the scene.


Everyone met back up at Sasuke's mansion and walked into the house to be greeted by Sai and Hinata.

" How did it go? Did you guys find out anything?" Sai asked while everyone took a seat in the living room except for Sasuke who remained standing.

" Horrible! But I did punch Temari in the face." Tenten with a smile.

" I noticed you weren't the only one who got punched." Sai said pointing to Sasuke's face as he turned away.

" Hn."

" Naruto, are you okay?" Hinata asked with full or worry while she was sitting next to him.

" Yeah I'm okay, I kinda scratched my knee when I knocked Temari out because she was going to attack Tenten with a knife but other than that I'm fine." Naruto explained to the girl.

" So Naruto, what did you think tonight?" Kiba asked.

" It was actually pretty fun." Naruto truthfully admitted.

" You want to join?" Sasuke asked while looking down at him.

" Yeah Naruto you should! If it wasn't for you, I might not be here right now." Tenten said while everyone was looking at him, wanting to know his answer.

" Okay... I'll do it! Believe it!" Naruto yelled out with excitement.

" Believe it?" Shino mumbled to himself.

" Where's Sakura? Did she go home already?" Kiba asked Hinata and Sai.

" Naw she is sleeping in Sasuke's room. She passed out soon after you guys left."

Hinata said then she noticed Sasuke leaving the living room and walking upstairs without saying anything to anyone. Neji, Shikamaru and Sai went back in the other room to continue to play video games while Kiba, Shino and Tenten watched a movie as Hinata and Naruto stayed on the couch and continued to talk.

" So Hinata, do you know where Sasuke went to?" Naruto asked as he looked around.

' He probably went to go check up on Sakura. I really wish that one day all this shit would end and they can be happy together again.' Hinata thought to herself.

" I think he went to go to sleep. He looked pretty tired when he came into the house." Hinata said.

" Wait isn't Sakura in his room? He might take advantage of her." Naruto said with concern.

' He sure does like talking about Sakura.. I wonder if her likes her.'

" Um... well Sasuke has many bedrooms so Sai probably took her in one that Sasuke doesn't sleep in."

Hinata lied to her friend in case he did have feelings for her and didn't want to make him sad.

" Oh well that's good. They were making out earlier so I didn't want him to try anything on her if she is asleep."

" Don't worry Sasuke isn't like that. So Naruto... are you doing anything tomorrow?" Hinata asked nervously.

" Nothing that I know of... hey Hinata I hear that this place has a great ramen shop so would you like to come with me?" Naruto asked.

" Sure! I would love to. I was going to ask you if you wanted to hang out." Hinata smiled back at him as he smiled back at her.


Sasuke opened the door and walked into his bedroom, closing the door behind him and walked towards his king sized bed to see Sakura starting to slowly opening up her eyes when him closing the door had woken her up.

" I see you are awake." Sasuke said as he took off his shirt and pants, revealing him in only his navy blue boxers.

" I was tired, I didn't go to bed last night." Sakura frowned but was removed when Sasuke climbed into bed with her. She then got a better look of his face and gasped.

" Sasuke! What happened?" Sakura asked as she stroked Sasuke's swollen cheek with her hand.

" Tonight was a failure." Sasuke sighed as he turned to lay on his back.

" Didn't find anything out huh."

" Hn." Sasuke responded as he closed his eyes to think back of how all of this started.


Flashback

" Hello?" Sasuke asked has he answered the house phone.

" S-Sasuke... can you come over?"

" Sakura? What's wrong?"

" Sai broke up with me." Sasuke could hear his best friend crying on the other line.

" Let me go ask my brother to take me over to your aunt's place and I'll be right there."

" Okay bye."

" Bye."

Sasuke went up to his older brother's room and knocked on the door and it opened to reveal his older brother.

" What is it?" His brother asked him.

" Itachi, Sakura is really upset, can you take me over to see her?" Sasuke pleaded.

" Sure. Wait for me downstairs."

Itachi closed the door and Sasuke walked down to wait for his brother. He saw his mother cooking dinner while his father was reading the newspaper.

" Hi honey, will you be joining us for dinner?" His mother asked him.

" No mom, Sakura's boyfriend broke up with her today so I'm going to stay over at Sakura's for a little while if that's okay." Sasuke said.

" Sure honey, I bet Sakura is heartbroken. Why don't you two date? You two have known each other since like forever." His mom said.

" Your mother is right, now is the time to be with her. I know you have feelings for her and she has feelings for you too!"

His father stated. Then Itachi walked downstairs and greeted his parents.

" Shall we go little brother?" Itachi asked and Sasuke nod his head.

" Sasuke, I'll come pick you up at 8 tonight okay?" His mother mentioned.

" Okay thanks mom. Love you guys."

Sasuke said with a smile on his face as the brothers left the house. Itachi drove up to a trailer and stopped to let Sasuke out.

" Alright little brother, tell her aunt I said hello for me." Itachi said with a smile on his face.

" Whatever." Sasuke said and got out of the car and walked up to the door and knocked.

The door opened up revealing a crying Sakura who immediately went into his arms.

" Sasuke, I'm so glad you are here with me."

Sakura said as Sasuke picked her up bridal style and walked into the trailer, closing the door behind them. Sasuke led them over to a couch and sat her down, sitting beside her with her still in his arms.

" Shh it's okay Sakura. What happened?" Sasuke asked.

" Sai broke up with me because..." Sakura trailed off.

" Because why?"

" Because Sai is.... he's gay!" Sakura yelled out as she cried even more which shocked him even more.

" W-what? He's gay?" Sasuke had to be sure that he heard right and saw her nod her head.

" Wow... I'm so sorry Sakura... I know... how much you liked him." Sasuke said while beginning to stroke her hair.

" No it's not that Sasuke. He was okay I'm just devastated that my first boyfriend turns out to be gay. What if no one will ever like me?" Sakura said.

" Well I guess it kinda makes since when you think about it." Sasuke said.

" What do you mean?"

" Remember that time that you were going on your first date and you had never kissed anyone and so we practiced on each other to make sure you were a good kisser?"

" Yeah... I came crying the next day because he seemed like he wasn't interested at all the whole time we were making out." Sakura started to giggle.

" Also all those times the three of us hung out together and both of us ended up flirting with each other yet he never seemed to be bothered by it."

" True... he told me he rather breaks things off now because he found someone else but he still wants to be friends with us." Sakura said as she had stopped crying.

" I think we can do that." Sasuke said with her still in his arms as he kissed her head.


A few hours later, Sasuke and Sakura were playing a board game because Sakura's aunt doesn't own a tv and Sasuke looked at his watch and realized it was now 10pm.

' That's weird, mom was suppose to pick me up two hours ago. If she was going to be late, she would of called by now.' Sasuke thought as he became worried.

" Sasuke? What's wrong?" Sakura asked.

" My mom was suppose to pick me up two hours ago, did your aunt forget to pay the phone bill or something?"

Sasuke asked and watched Sakura get up from the floor and checked the cellphone that was on the table.

" Here, try calling your house to see but it was working earlier remember? I called you from this phone."

Sakura said as Sasuke took the phone and dialed his number. No one answered and kept on trying calling for the next hour and still no answer.

" Sakura, I have a bad feeling about this." Sasuke said.

" Well do you want to go over there? My aunt won't be back until tomorrow so she can't take us but we can walk." Sakura said.

" Yeah but it's dark out... well I guess you will be okay as long as I'm with you."

Sasuke said as the two left the trailer park and began to walk over to Sasuke's.


It took them an hour to get to his house and when they were in view, they spotted severely police cars and ambulance's at the house.

" Mom! Dad! Itachi!" Sasuke screamed out as the two young teens ran up to the house.

" Hold on you two, you can't go in there." A policeman said as the two tried to go inside the house.

" But sir he lives here! What happened to his parents and his brother?" Sakura asked.

" You live here son? I'm so sorry but everyone that was in the house is dead." The policeman said.

" What? It can't be!" Sasuke yelled out.

" I'm sorry boy. Three bodies were found inside, they had been murdered." The policeman left the two alone as Sasuke collapsed on the ground and began to cry as Sakura kneeled beside him and wrapped her arms around his body.


One year later

" Sasuke! What was it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

Sakura asked as she walked into his house. In his parent's will, he was left the house and all of their fortune.

" Sakura... I found out what happened to my family." Sasuke told her.

" What happened?"

" Itachi had gotten himself in trouble with a drug lord named Orochimaru and he told his men to kill him off among with everyone else that was with him."

" Sasuke... I'm so sorry." Sakura said as she wrapped her arms around his waist.

" I'm going to kill him one day Sakura."

" Who?"

" Orochimaru... I'm going to get my revenge."

Sasuke opened his eyes up after the memory and glanced over at Sakura to see if she was still awake and noticed she was fast asleep with her back facing him. He let out a sigh and closed his eyes again to let sleep conquer him.
