The Pirate King
Chapter Four
-Sought and Caught-
Gaara stood in front of the stern, looking down at the deck of the ship, his eyes searching for a spot of pink. "Where is she!" he demanded, making all his crewmates stop momentarily. Neji, who happened to be at the wheel, smirked, shaking his head at his captain.
"I don't know where she is." He said, looking past the redhead and towards the setting sun.
"Sasuke!" Gaara yelled, now looking around for his second in command. The dark haired man walked out from the cabins below and looked up.
"What?" he responded, obviously bored and annoyed.
The captain gripped the ledge and leaned over, spotting him. "Where is the pink one?!"
Sasuke sighed. "I don't know." He said. "Why don't you try looking for her?"
Gaara let out a groan, "Can't you look for her for me?"
"No." the Uchiha said sternly. "She's your bedmate, you look for her."
"But…" he began, only to hear the wooden door slam. His eyes widened, "Sasuke!" he called once more, only to receive no reply. "Damnit!" the redhead cursed, pulling away from the railing and walking down the steps, searching around the ship for the woman. He'd be damned if he went unpleased for the night, especially after such morning activities with her.
Then he decided he should probably call her by her name. But what was it? He searched his mind for the identification, but came up blank. Gaara saw the blonde male from her team walk towards the mast and snapped his fingers. "You! Blonde one!" he called, getting Naruto's attention. "Yes you! Come here."
Naruto did as he was told, arching a curious brow. "What?"
"What is your captain's name?"
He scratched his head, appearing confused by the question. "Her name is Sakura." He answered.
"Thanks." He nodded and then passed the man. "Sakura!" he yelled once more, pulling up the latch and heading down below deck. "Sakura! Come here!" he ordered. When he got nothing, only stares from the crew below, he growled out. "Sakura! If you do not reveal yourself I will throw one of your shipmates overboard."
Still no answer. Well he sure was not one for empty threats. Gaara returned to the deck and looked around, spotting the brunette female who seemed to be close with the other captain. He walked over and grabbed her by the upper arm, dragging her towards the edge and kicking out the built in plank.
With much struggle, Tenten fought against Gaara's hold. "What the hell are you doing?!" She screamed, letting out another shriek when they were on the flimsy wood and he jerked her out, holding her out over the edge, the only thing keeping her from falling being his hold.
"Proving I am very serious." He said simply.
Everyone else on the ship watched the two, the atmosphere tense and silent as they waited. They didn't have to wait too much longer, however, because soon Sakura's voice could be heard, yelling at the redhead. "You get her back on the ship this instant!" the pink haired woman ordered. Gaara looked around, still not seeing her, until his gaze travelled upwards to the Crowe's Nest, where she was leaning over the edge. Even from this distance he could clearly make out the glare she was pinning him with.
"You get your ass in my cabin now or I'll let go." He warned, matching her glare with one of his own.
Her eyes narrowed, and she disappeared from sight. A moment later, she was swinging down with one of the loose ropes, landing gracefully on the deck below. And with a hate-filled glare in his direction, stomped off, slamming the doors to his cabin once she was inside. A victorious smirk made its way to Gaara's face. He pulled Tenten up and led her back, almost gentleman-like, to the deck. "Please forgive me," he nodded, only making her confused. "Thank you for your assistance. You may take Neji's cabin for the night and sleep in peace." He gestured to the door Sasuke had disappeared through, since there were four other rooms in the ship that were closed off.
"What?!" the brunette yelled from the wheel. "Where am I supposed to sleep then!" he demanded.
"I don't know and I don't care." Gaara smirked, walking towards his cabin and disappearing.
Tenten blinked, looking back up at the man who had spoken. "Well you could sleep in there too…so long as you don't trying anything."
Neji stared down at the girl, actually appearing intrigued. "You would trust me like that?"
The words made a small blush appear on the girl's face. "Well not now." She huffed.
He simply laughed and shrugged, truly amused. "I will prove your trust right then, it was just interesting is all.
"Oh…" she trailed off, now thoroughly embarrassed. "Well okay. Night everyone!" she said quickly, before hurrying into the cabin hall.
Neji shook his head, still laughing. "Interesting." He said to himself.
Sakura's glare moved around the cabin critically. She may have been compliant and come down here, but she sure as hell wasn't staying. Her gaze stopped on the large window behind his bed, and she smiled. Perfect. She made her way over to it, examining it for a way to get out. Seeing that it wouldn't open, she sighed, before glancing over at the porthole in the wall. That might work, she would probably only be able to just barely squeeze through it.
Realizing that she didn't have a lot of time left until Gaara would join her, she ran over to the wall and climbed up onto the chest that was beneath the small window. She pushed open the glass and poked her head outside, quickly locating where she could grab on to in order to climb up the side of the ship and onto the deck. She stiffened when the door opened, and glanced at Gaara, who seemed shocked by her actions. Knowing that he would try and stop her, she shot her torso through the hole. She heard him run over to where she was, and felt him grab her legs. "Let go!" she ordered, pushing against the outside of the ship in order to fight against him.
"Are you out of your damn mind?!" he yelled, pulling her back, pressing his foot against the chest and using the leverage to yank her back in, which caused the two to tumble onto the floor. Gaara's head hit the hard floor, knocking the wind from him momentarily as Sakura landed on his chest.
Sakura pushed off of him. "Don't touch me!" she said, beginning to crawl over his body so that she could get to the door and escape.
Gaara sat up slowly, holding the back of his head as he leaned forward, exhaling another pained breath. "I wasn't even doing anything to you!" he yelled, which only made him wince from the throb now pulsating through his skull. "You really think that would have worked?!"
"Yes, it would have." She assured, standing and dusting herself off. "But I suppose leaving through the door would be easier." She walked over to the door and opened it, not even looking at the redhead as she left. Her brow furrowed, and she glanced back at the cabin door. "Odd." She muttered, before continuing on her way. She stopped by the railing of the ship and looked out over the dark waters, letting a sigh of relief escape at the knowledge that she wouldn't have to bed him this night.
Lee ran up to her then, a worried look on his face. "Lady Sakura, has he finished with you already?!" he asked.
"No Lee." She shook her head. "He let me go."
"He did?" the green-clad man asked in surprise.
"Yes, he did." She sighed. "The only downside to that at all is that I will now have to look for a place to sleep. That dingy old cell just doesn't sound appealing."
Lee straightened and saluted to her. "I swear on my life that I will find you a comfortable place to rest your head for the night. Do not worry, Lady Sakura, you are in safe hands!" he declared, before running off. She rolled her eyes and shook her head, turning her attention back out to the water. As annoying as Lee was, at least he was devoted to her, and he was so considerate, it was nice to still be treated as a lady by someone. In this new life she had chosen for herself, things like that rarely happened.
The next morning found Sakura standing at the bow, watching a pod of dolphins as they swam next to the ship. She wished she could be as carefree as they were. She felt strange being on another's vessel, especially because she didn't know anyone. That and having to subject herself to another's wants was not something she liked, nor was used too.
Speaking of the redhead, she wondered where he was. Usually he was out and ordering everyone around. She didn't take him as a lazy person, certainly not someone who slept the day away. Suddenly there was a bit of a commotion, and the pink haired woman looked over to see what it was. The source was Ino, who was busy ignoring Kiba, who was apparently trying to get her to talk to him. Sakura smirked as the blonde told him to go to hell and walked off, leaving the dejected man on his own. His face turned downcast, and Sakura couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for him.
She walked over to him, deciding to help him out. "I think you're going about it all the wrong way." She observed, though not in an unkind manner.
"But how!" he called to the clouds, groaning as he hit his forehead. "I just don't understand. I was nice to her and everything. I haven't even tried to make a move." He sighed and then perked up. "Wait!" he looked to Sakura, seeming to finally realize she was the blonde's friend. "You could tell me what she likes and I could do it for her!"
She raised a brow. "Do you even like Ino? Physical appearance doesn't count."
"What other like is there?" he asked, looking absolutely perplexed.
The pink haired woman let out an exasperated sigh. "I mean liking her for her as a person. Not for her body, but for her mind."
Kiba stared at Sakura, his confused expression not leaving. "Liking her for a person? But she's a woman…I mean what's there to like other than her body?"
Sakura rolled her eyes. "Look, if you can't even understand that, then you should just give up on trying to get Ino to pay you any attention. Because it's a lost cause." She turned and began to walk away from him, clearly done with the conversation. He didn't seem to be too bright after all, and she didn't want to waste her time talking to him.
"Wait!" Kiba called, running after the pink haired woman. "What else is there? I want to know."
She stopped and looked at him. "You would need to try and have a relationship with her." she explained. "Men come onto Ino all the time wanting to sleep with her. She's never been treated otherwise, and I know that if you tried that, and actually treated her like a proper lady, she would warm up to you."
"Huh…" he nodded, seeming to be deep in thought. "I see. Well I will have to percolate on what to do then!" he declared, grinning happily. "Thanks a lot…um, Sakura right?"
"Yes." She smiled. "And don't worry about it. Just try and get to know her, flatter her, and maybe try and do things for her. She also likes compliments, but they should be centered around how beautiful she is, or things that you like about her that don't pertain to her womanly assets." She advised.
"Got it, got it." Kiba formed a fist and gave it a shake. "I will train myself in this matter and learn the new ways of love that are not physical." And then he was off, disappearing down into his cabin.
Sakura shook her head and chuckled to herself, genuinely wishing the brunette luck in his task. He actually seemed like a nice person, which was a pleasant surprise for her, considering he was a pirate, and a friend of someone as mean as Gaara.
A familiar laugh made its way to her ears, and she turned to see Tenten standing at the wheel talking to the long haired brunette man she had seen a few times. Curious, and just downright nosy, Sakura walked over to the two.
"Oh, hey Sakura." Tenten greeted, the smile still one her lips. "This is Neji, he was telling me about one of his many adventures as a pirate."
"They really aren't as interesting as she makes them out to be." Neji said modestly, glancing at the pink haired woman as he steered the ship.
The corner of Sakura's lip lifted slightly. "Well, Tenten has always been fascinated by piracy, not to mention the Pirate King, so anything you tell her will be interesting." She said, before sobering. "Tenten, I'm really sorry about last night." She placed her hand on the brunette woman's arm. "If I had known he was going to go that far, I never would have hid in the first place."
"It's alright Sakura. He already apologized to me himself." she said, still smiling. "I don't think he would have done it anyways."
"He wouldn't have." Neji affirmed.
"What?" Sakura asked, her mouth dropping open in shock. "You mean I could have just stayed hidden?" she crossed her arms in a slight pout. "I wish I'd known that. It would have saved me a lot of trouble."
"What are you complaining about?" Neji scoffed, "You were out of there in a matter of seconds. Probably gave the captain a migraine. He's been ill ever since."
She looked over at the brunette man. "Really?" she asked, her brow furrowing. At his nod, she frowned. "Well he did hit his head last night before I left."
This made Neji's gaze shift into a small glare. "What? What did you do?"
Sakura returned his glare in kind, before crossing her arms defensively. "I didn't do anything. I was trying to escape through the porthole when he walked into the room and grabbed my legs. Then he yanked me back inside, we fell backwards, and he hit his head as I landed on him."
"God you're stupid." He seethed, glancing down at Tenten. "Will you mind the wheel for a moment? I have to go find Sasuke." He told her, releasing the controls and heading down the steps to locate the Uchiha.
The pink haired woman looked to her friend. "What's his problem? It's not like I had him hit his head on purpose." She said, though she couldn't get rid of the nagging in the back of her mind. The part of her that was telling her this was all her fault. It wasn't. It was Gaara's for not just letting her go.
"Why were you trying to climb out a window?" Tenten asked curiously.
"Because," Sakura sighed. "I didn't want him to make me do things with him…again." She said softly. "So I thought that since you were safe, I could sneak out the window and hide once more. But he came back before I could."
"I thought that you told Ino it felt kinda good." The woman blinked, appearing confused.
This caused the other woman to blush as she nodded sheepishly. "But…I don't just sleep with people, and when he touches me, I can't control anything. It all goes the way he wants it too…and you know how I am about being told what to do…" her gaze turned almost pleading. "Tenten, I don't want you or anyone else to pity me or feel bad for me because of it. But I don't know what to do. I want to do it again, but I don't want to at the same time. And I just don't know what to do." She covered her face with her hands, ashamed at what she had admitted aloud.
Tenten laughed. "Sakura, sex isn't some horrible thing. Why don't you just take control of it and make him do what you want?"
"…I'm allowed to do that?" she asked, almost unbelievingly. Despite no longer being a virgin, she was still naïve in such things. She had thought that it was something the man controlled, since he was the stronger of the two participants. Not to mention that the world they lived in was dominated by males, who were the higher sex.
"Why not? He wants to have sex right? So it's win-win for him. Besides, the friendlier you are, the easier the ride. Neji and I are getting along pretty darn well." She smiled, turning the wheel slightly and looking out over the ocean. "This is a nice ship."
"Yes, it is…" she gave the vessel a cursory glance, her emerald gaze landing on the ebony haired man that was currently exiting Gaara's cabin. The expression on his face spoke badly, and, feeling worry for the redhead, Sakura excused herself from her friend and rushed down the steps towards him.
"Sasuke." She said, getting the man's attention. "What's wrong with him?"
The Uchiha sneered at her. "As if you didn't know. It's your fault, you know."
She frowned slightly at his words. "There's no need to be rude. It was an accident. Tell me how he is." She demanded.
He sighed, seeming to give in. "He has a minor concussion, it seems. Nothing too terrible, as long as he doesn't move around too much for the next day or so and drinks lots of water."
This news made Sakura feel better, though her guilt was still present. "Can I…can I see him?" she asked, looking up at him.
"And why, exactly, would you want to do that?" Sasuke asked, raising a brow.
"Well…I feel bad about it, and I want to apologize." Sakura admitted. "And I think I could make him feel better." She left out the part that she was going to try and jump his bones if she was allowed in there. Now that she knew she could take control, she was all for it. Besides, since Gaara wouldn't move around too much, she could be on top this time, right? From what she understood about sex, so long as he was inside her, it didn't matter if he was flat on his back.
"Very well." The first mate consented. "But if you so much as try anything harmful to Gaara, I will kill you myself." He threatened, before walking away.
She rolled her eyes at his back before turning and walking towards the redhead's cabin. Not bothering to knock on the door, since he probably had a headache, she opened the door and closed it softly behind her. Although, now that she was in his room, she wasn't sure exactly how to proceed, and so just stood there, looking at him.
"Who is it?" a tired voice commanded. The curtains had been drawn over the massive window along the back wall, and all that lit the room were two small lanterns. Though, she could clearly tell that his back was to her as he lay in bed…and he was shirtless.
"Sakura." She said softly, taking a few silent steps towards him and halting when she was in the center of the room.
Gaara grabbed one of his pillows and held it over his head. "God, what do you want?" he groaned out.
She frowned slightly. "I just wanted to apologize…I didn't mean for you to get hurt."
"I don't care. Just get out. I'm tired." He said, turning a bit and laying on his stomach.
Instead of doing what he said like she normally would, she made her way towards his bed and sat on the edge of it. She looked down at him, and hesitantly reached out and began to rub his back, since it made her feel better when she had a headache. "Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" she asked, hoping that he would catch onto what she meant. "Anything at all?"
Gaara turned back, lifting his arm and smacking her hand away. He sat up, the pillow falling off the bed and to the floor. "What the hell are you doing?" he demanded, giving her a small glare, though it looked more confused than angry.
"Trying to make you feel better." She said, not affected by his look in the least. She turned to face him fully, reaching out and placing her hand on his upper thigh. "If you just lay back and relax, I'm sure I could." She said, giving him an innocent look.
He looked down to her hand and its location before meeting her gaze once more. "If you think that playing nice will make me get you a ship, you are seriously mistaken. So don't bother."
She gave him a slight glare then, all kindness gone from her façade. She wanted to be bedded and she wanted it now, damnit, and he was not cooperating with her. "Look, I have pretty much decided to drop that for the time being. I simply came in here to apologize to you, and make you feel better. And the way that I wish to make you feel better is by having sex. So if you don't want to do that, then I will do as you requested and leave."
Gaara stared at her for a long while, the silence between the two dragging on. "Oh…" he nodded. "I get it. I'm dreaming." He sighed, shaking his head at the only logical explanation. He fell back, laying down and closing his eyes. "Damn dreams." He muttered.
Sakura blinked, confusion coming to her face. He thought he was dreaming? She smirked then. Well, this would be the best damned dream he'd ever had. She slipped off her boots before crawling over him, straddling his waist. "Gaara." She purred, smoothing her hands up his chest and blushing at the feel of his previously hidden muscles. She leaned down and nuzzled the side of his neck. "I'm going to have sex with you, so you can either participate, or lay back and take it." she murmured, nipping the shell of his ear before licking it.
His eyes snapped open as he took a sharp breath. This was definitely not a dream. Sakura could instantly feel the change in his body, as she now felt something protruding against her lower regions. "Well now…" he smirked, lifting his hands and setting them on her hips. "I never suspected this little one to be an unlocked sex addict."
"Funny," she nibbled on his neck. "Since you're the one who unlocked me." She sat up then, trailing her hands down his chest as she did so. Then she brought her hands up and began to unlace her corset as she looked down at him.
Gaara watched her, remaining on his back. This was something he did not foresee. He let his hands rest on her thighs, smoothing them up and then slowly back down to feel her. He had to admit, he was extremely turned on with this dominatrix façade she had. Maybe it was because he'd never allowed himself to be mounted before.
When she finished unlacing her corset, she tossed it to the floor, immediately grasping the hem of her shirt and taking it off as well. Her torso bare before him, she blushed slightly, but didn't try to cover herself this time. "I hope your head injury doesn't hinder your ability to pleasure me." she said, leaning down and beginning to trail licks and kisses across his chest.
"Just shut up and get on." He growled, gripping onto her thighs and grinding against her.
"No." she sat up and smacked him lightly on the abs. "You got to do it your way the first time, and now we're doing it my way." She crawled lower yanked the covers back, before pulling down his pants and discarding them with her clothes on the floor. Now that he was fully exposed to her, she smirked, before moving closer and gripping his hard member in her hand somewhat forcefully, but not enough for it to hurt. She began to pump him, watching his face as she did so.
He winced, grunting as his eyes lowered to her hand. "Damn you're forceful." He smirked, his face contorting into one of pleasure.
"So are you." She said, dipping her head and licking his genitals as her hand continued to pleasure him. He groaned, an action that pleased her greatly. After a while she sat back and removed her pants, joining him in nudity. She crawled over him and rest her forehead against his, keeping her body just out of contact with his. "You're going to need to start pleasing me, or I might just do it myself." She said, grabbing his hand and pressing it against her breast.
"And here I thought you said you'd do it all yourself." Gaara smirked, fondling the soft flesh that was in his grasp. He rubbed his thumb over her erect nipple and then pinched it between his fingers, allowing a small tug. "Move your hips." He said, gripping onto her leg and thrusting up into her.
She did as she was told, beginning a steady rocking motion and letting out a whimper at the feeling of being stretched by him once more. Sakura pressed her lips against his, bringing her hands up and threading her fingers through his soft hair, keeping in mind his head injury.
Gaara moaned into her mouth, thrusting into her at a slow rate, due to their position. Surprisingly it felt nice to take it easy and slowly pull out of her. "You feel so good." He smirked, looking up at her. "I say we keep it as me being the only one to ever penetrate you."
Sakura smiled slightly, shivering a bit as she constricted her walls around him to fully feel him sliding in and out of her. "Well I told you before that I don't just go around sleeping with people. So I don't think that will ever be much of a problem."
"Good." He grunted, gripping her hips and pulling her off in attempts to aid his movement. She slammed her back down onto him, using the strength of his arms to increase her pace. "Fuck." Gaara hissed, closing his eyes as he threw his head back, arching into her wet hole. It felt so much better this time and he could only surmise it was because she wanted it as badly as he did.
She cried out in pleasure, sitting up straight and using her legs to lift herself and plop back down onto him, his strength aiding in the action. It felt so good, her entire body was heating up much faster than it had the first time he had taken her. Something came to mind then, and she looked down at him as she began to grin against him as he lifted her. "Gaara…can I ask you something?" she said softly, placing her hands on the bed to better support herself.
The pirate blinked, looking up at her and momentarily stopping in his actions. "What?" he asked, surprisingly not sounding as uncaring and coarse as he usually did.
"When you're head is better, can we…" she blushed, before looking off. "Nevermind. It's embarrassing."
Gaara gave her a curious glance, propping himself up with his elbows and looking at her face. "Can we what?"
"Can we try it with you…" the rest she muttered under her breath, her face turning a cherry red.
"Try what?" he said lowly, trying to keep his frustration down. She had come to him after all and it would do no good to scare her away. "It's ok to just say it." Gaara spoke softly, making sure he stayed at least somewhat genuine sounding.
Sakura clenched her eyes shut. "I want to try it with you in the other hole!" she said a bit loudly, her blush spreading to her neck. A steady silence began to build between them then, and, unable to stand it, she peeked one emerald eye open to look at the redhead.
Gaara stared at her, shock the only expression on his face. He tried not to laugh, since she was really embarrassed, and her blush made her look incredibly adorable. "So long as you're comfortable with that. It'll hurt at first."
Both of her eyes opened then. "That's fine. I just want to try it…" she glanced down at where they were joined, before looking back at him. "Can we start moving again?"
He looked down as well and smirked. "Sorry, I got distracted." He said, sliding his hands down her thighs and then slowly back up to her hips as he laid back and thrust up into her.
She moaned, resuming her own motions. "Well, I could have just waited until we were finished to ask." The corner of her mouth tilted up in a small smile. She fell forward then, placing her hands next to his head and increasing her pace.
The redhead groaned out, keeping his grip firm as he pumped into her, savoring the feel of her wet lips. If her pussy was this tight, he didn't know if he could fit in her ass. "What made you come around pretty little flower?" he whispered into her ear, biting down on her milky flesh.
"I…" she whimpered, turning her head to face him. "I just…wanted to feel good again, and I knew that you'd agree if I asked you for sex." She chuckled slightly. "Besides, I'm used to getting what I want, and being stuck on your ship under your command isn't going to change that."
"Whenever you want sex sweetness, all you gotta do is ask." He smirked, moving his hands to her rear and gripping her cheeks. "Ah fuck." He moaned, slamming into her. "You're the best prisoner I've ever had."
"You're the only captor I've ever had." She said softly, before pressing her lips against his in a passionate kiss as she rode him. The act surprised the redhead and he pulled back slightly, searching her face for something he thought he might find there.
"What are you doing?" he asked curiously, their act momentarily paused.
She blinked. "I was trying to increase our pleasure." She said. "Why? Do want me to stop?"
"No. I mean…I just…" he was actually dumbfounded. "You want to kiss me?"
"Well…yes. I just thought…you liked it…since you kissed me first…and I like it…" she trailed off, an embarrassed blush coming to her face. "Was I doing it wrong?"
He shook his head, moving back to her. "I just didn't know you wanted to do it back."
"I didn't at first." She admitted, rocking back and forth to keep up their friction. A small smile came to her face then. "But it's rather nice."
"It is." He agreed, beginning his pace once more as they joined together in another kiss, getting lost in their bliss. If having her here on his ship meant this tight hole whenever he wanted, he was never going to let her leave. He'd break her spirit eventually and she'd never want to leave his bed.
Sakura began to pant, and eventually sat up so that she could use the muscles in her legs to push her off of the mattress with the aid of his hands and slam back down on him repeatedly. She began to moan, loving how deep this position allowed him to go, before she eventually cried out in her completion, her moist cavern squeezing him for all he was worth. He continued inside her for a bit longer, until he too came, filling her to the brim with his seed. He hissed out a pleasured groan, pressing into her to make sure it all stayed within her. She pulled herself off of him, before collapsing beside him on the bed. "That was better than I had hoped it would be." she said, looking up at the ceiling and wondering if everyone else had heard how loud she had gotten.
Gaara nodded, his eyes closed as he remained relaxed and completely satisfied. "Yeah…" he said softly, before yawning.
She looked around, wondering what to do now. She wasn't tired, necessarily, after all the day was only half over. But she was hungry. Glancing at the redhead next to her, she sat up and crawled over him, getting out of bed and beginning to dress. It was okay if she did this, right? After all, he'd only wanted her for sex, and she him, and now that they were finished she could do what she pleased. She nodded to herself. It seemed fair enough, besides, she would not let anyone dictate her life, captor or not.
Gaara turned over, his back to her once more as he pulled the sheets back up. "Tell Sasuke I'm hungry." He ordered sleepily, pulling another pillow over his head.
She rolled her eyes, not deigning him with a response as she finished adjusting her clothes. Assured that she looked pristine, she left his cabin, blinking when she nearly ran into Sasuke. The Uchiha was standing right outside Gaara's room, his back to it as he looked out over the rest of the ship. Hearing Sakura start, he glanced back at her, before moving aside. "Did you make him feel better?" he asked, clearly mocking her.
"Oh he feels great. But he's hungry, so you need to bring him some food." She told him. When he stood there for a few more seconds she clapped her hands at him. "Chop chop. The food's not gonna walk itself out here, now is it?" she arched a brow.
Sasuke glared at her before wordlessly walking away, missing her triumphant smirk. Then she turned and walked off, deciding to find Lee so that he could fix her something to eat as well. When Sasuke returned to his captain's quarters, it was with a slice of bread, an apple, and some dried meats. He entered the room without knocking, saw Gaara facing away from him, and walked over to the small table in the room to set down the plate. "Do you have a plan for getting rid of the pink one and her crew?" he asked, pouring a glass of wine. "I'm tired of them getting in my way."
"Why would I get rid of a pretty little flower that fucks me like that?" he grumbled, pulling the pillow off his head and sitting up slowly. He looked over and took the wine, taking a quick sip before he tore into the meat.
"Because she's annoying." The Uchiha replied. "And too arrogant for her own good. She actually spoke to me as if I were a servant."
"Then just put her in her place, I don't care." Gaara shrugged. "You're far above her. A woman isn't a captain. Simple as that. She's a woman."
"Then don't get mad at me when I throw her overboard and let some sea monster eat her." Sasuke said. "Though she'd give it indigestion."
The redhead chuckled. "Probably."
Sasuke looked at him then. "How is your head doing?" he asked.
"A little better. It's just pulsating and it's hard to think. So I'm leaving you in charge until I can feel better." He sighed, finishing off what his friend had brought him.
The ebony haired pirate took the plate and wine glass from him. "Do you want me to continue to keep people from bothering you?"
Gaara nodded, moving to lay back down. "Though…you can let my little pet in whenever she wants." He smirked. "I don't mind playing with her."
"First a flower, now a pet, next thing you know she'll be a fucking trophy to add to your collection, and then I'll never be rid of her." he muttered as he made his way towards the door.
"Hm?" the redhead asked, glancing back with a slightly confused look.
"Just make sure you get plenty of rest." Sasuke edited himself, before leaving the room. He hoped this thing with the pink haired woman didn't become permanent, and they just dropped her off at the next port town. Because if she stayed on the ship much longer, he might have to take some drastic measures.
