I Do Not Own Naruto

War

When it came down to it she was declaring war with the bitch! They had barely arrived in Suna and some bitch had already draped herself around Sasuke; angry did not even cover how Sakura felt. And if she unleashed Inner Sakura the bitch would be punched half way to the moon! Ai, was her name and she was going to have her lights knocked out if she wasn't careful. Sakura did not like that woman at all, especially since the woman was a blonde lush kind who could get a man with a mere bat of her eye. To make matters worse Sasuke was completely oblivious to the woman.

He didn't seem to care about Ai draping herself on him and he didn't seem to care that it was irritating her. Sakura just wanted to get to her quarters, scream into a pillow then find some poor sucker to spar with and pummel said poor sucker into a bloody pulp then meet up with Gaara for their dinner meeting. Yep, that was the game plan but she swore to Kami if she had to endure this woman much longer, and if Sasuke didn't do something about her then there was going to be a war because she wouldn't be diplomatic. Nope, she was barely containing her rage at the Uchiha and the girl.

When they arrived at their quarters Sakura was quick to escape and slam her door in the face of the Uchiha before walking to her bathroom and shower to clean up. After her shower she wrapped herself up into a clean towel then walked to the bed to fall face first onto it then screamed at the top of her lungs into the pillow. It was childish; she knew this but she didn't care. It really did make one feel better, why was beyond her but screaming into a pillow like no tomorrow was the cure for so many things wrong with her life.

"Interesting view," his voice commented, she slammed her legs together and didn't bother getting her head out of her pillow at that moment. It wasn't as if he hadn't seen everything already. In fact she had given him once hell of a show a few days ago when she hadn't even known he was in her apartment. Sakura propped herself up on her elbows, crossed her ankles in the air then smiled cheekily at him as she glanced over at him.

"Nothing new," she replied icily. He shrugged then walked over to the bed. She'd have been offended with his attitude but it was difficult to be offended with his attitude when she loved him still. But she wasn't going to say she loved him anymore, there would be no words from her lips of love or care because he didn't care.

"When are we meeting Gaara?" he asked.

"I'm meeting Gaara for dinner, you are running security and going to do whatever that entails," she said firmly. Sasuke would not be coming to this dinner, she had had enough of his company for a while.

Sasuke just sighed internally at his companion's surly attitude but figured to leave her alone as he walked out of the room into his adjoining room where he was setting up on the floor. It still felt odd to sleep in beds after all those years as a teen when he would sleep on a bed as hard as a rock or the ground. Finally settled with his space; leaving a few tells for himself he let himself out of the room to the streets of Suna. He was quick to disappear though before that girl Ai could reappear and latch onto him like he was some sort of accessory for her to show off.

He had never been the touchy-feely type of guy and truly despised human contact when it was forced onto him; he had thrown Ino off of him when she had hugged him when they had been genin. And the girl Ai irritated Sakura which was all the more reason for him to avoid her. It was as plain as day to him that Sakura hadn't liked the girl, she had glared at him and Ai the entire walk through Suna and then slammed the door in his face. True Sasuke didn't have much experience with women; and Karin did not count; but he had a bad feeling about when a woman slammed the door in a guy's face. Even a social retard like him knew it meant that said woman was pissed and for a reason; which was not necessarily known to a guy. In this case though he had a feeling that most of Sakura's anger was because of the girl Ai. And now he didn't know how to handle Sakura; he'd have preferred it if she would just punch him, scream or shout at him instead of bottling up like she was now.

Though he had to admit that walking in on her like that had been interesting, and kind of worth her obvious frustrations.

He perched himself on the roof of one of Suna's buildings and looked out for the threats that he had been told would be involved with this mission because it seemed important to keep the Kazekage alive. Though in his mind keeping Sakura alive and safe took precedence over keeping Gaara alive. The sand creep could keep himself alive, Sakura was the one that Sasuke was worried about.

If there was a poison master here looking for recognition or credit for what he was doing or trying to challenge himself then he could very well fixate on Sakura, and if that happened…

It would not be pretty. Sakura would be stubborn and in danger, and the poison master would no doubt target her to prove he was better. When it came down to it people were really simple in Sasuke's mind and the darker the person was the easier Sasuke understood them which was why he understood the true threat wouldn't be to Gaara. It would be to Sakura, Sakura would be the poison master's opponent and she would be in danger. That was a thought which didn't sit well with him.

One last update tonight! Then I'm off to read a book and go to bed.

That's all for now folks!

Enjoy Only Tears! =)
