Decisions of Love.
Chapter Eight. Fun at the Bar part Two.
"If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything." - Marilyn Monroe
Sakura lined up five shots and stood ready, one of the men that declined the offer yelled "GO!" she, Sasuke, Suigutsu, Juugo, and Riku all picked up the shot and downed it. She was the first one done, like always. She remembered doing these shots with Naruto; he taught her how to do it properly without, burning her throat.
She slammed the shot glass on the table, and through her hands up in the air, and spun. She giggled a little before she met Sasuke and Suigutsu's wondering eyes. "Wow... Your great at this!" Riku cooed in her ear, she couldn't help the shiver that went up her back at the close range.
She stepped back and was now a few inches in front of Sasuke, she glared at Riku before she saw a hot guy behind him and smiled seductively. Riku took it as she was smiling at him and moved forward, but when he reached out to grab her she was already gone.
"Where'd she go?!" Riku growled and looked around.
"There...Riku...over there!" One of his four men told him, while pointing to the pink haired girl who pushed a girl off of a boy and started grinding her ass against his pelvis. She had a hand on his neck and one on his lower back, while she moved seductively around his body, pleasure vibrated her body.
She remembered Naruto's first time being drunk, Ino and her dirty dancing on boys for fun, kissing the real hot ones and giggling, Naruto trying to beat up the really hot ones, Kakashi grounding her, Girls night out. So many memories evaded her mind while she moved just in time to avoid getting hit, by the girl that had the man before her.
"Someones Jealous?" Sakura mocked before disappearing and reappearing beside Suigutsu and Sasuke, away from Riku. She laughed for a little bit before she started a conversation with Suigutsu.
"Hey... Sweetheart, I never got your name!" Riku said as nice as he could but Sakura and Sasuke heard the irritation from being ignored in his voice.
"Oh... Yeah... I'm.." Sakura walked behind Sasuke and gave him a light push, he had been seated in her spot, Riku sent him a glare for blocking the beautiful girl from him.
"Uchiha, when a lady wants to sit you should let her." Riku scolded the youngest Uchiha, while the Uchiha glared in tell Sakura blocked his glare with her body, his eyes trailed up her hips to her breast and then her neck, and slowly her pink lips, and then her fierce green eyes.
"Relax...I can handle myself." Sakura whispered beside his ear, after a moment of waiting and him to budging she did the only other thing. She sat on his lap, his face was priceless. She wasn't heavy and she wasn't on his member but she was on him, that's Proabbaly the closest contact he's had with the opposite sex.
He grunted quietly, but loud enough for Sakura to hear, she giggled in response before one of the men addressed her.
"Your Haruno Sakura!" One of the men with blond hair said, his face happy with resolution.
"So you've heard of me." Sakura said with a devious smile.
"You...surpassed the fifth Hokage... And killed Sasori of the Akatsuki." He said in utter disbelief.
"There's no way... No way, she's to small and...a woman nothing the less! You have to have her confused with someone." Another man piped in and Sakura tensed on Sasuke's lap, she looked angry when he mentioned Women.
"Shut up... I wear bigger heels than your dick!" She rasped towards the man angrily.
"Awe sweetheart did we offend you." Riku asked trying to be the nice guy.
Two could play at this game, "Not at all." Sakura retorded and stuck her hand out so he could shake it. "I'm Haruno Sakura, nice to meet you." Sakura said inside of her head she was yelling absurd things.
"I'm Riku. The pleasure is mine." He said in a creepy purr while he kissed her hand, and then dropped her hand on the table while dropping his hand on her mid-thigh, where there was no cloth to cover.
"Sorry it just...slipped..." He said with a smirk while he rubbed her thigh before slightly pulling his hand back. Sakura made herself blush as if she enjoyed it, before she smiled a little.
What's wrong with Sakura, he's a perv, she's been staring at her all night, he wants to rape her! She said she could Handle it! Sasuke yelled in his head while he growled at the contact, and slightly moved his knee up so Riku's hand fell off of the girl on his lap.
Both men glared at each other for a moment. Before Sakura moved in front of Sasuke's glare and used two fingers to make Riku look at her, she was an inch or two away from his face, and it looked as if she was going to kiss him when she put her hand on his neck. He smirked at the Uchiha in triumph, and Sasuke would have lunged at him if it weren't for what happened next.
Sakura rubbed her hand on his neck and brought his attention back to her, she tightened her grip in a second and slammed his head down on the table before releasing completely and slidding backwards a bit more centered on the Uchiha. She then said in a false cheery, innocent tone. "Sorry it slipped." before she smirked as the anger and fire took hold in her eyes.
Sasuke smirked at man with a bleeding nose. " You broke my nose!" he exclaimed while holding his nose and grabbing a towel from a passing waitress. She growled at him before she played with her hair and braided a small braid on the other side too.
"Next time...I'll break you neck." She said after a minute of waiting for emphasize. He growled at her as well as the other four men did.
"You were saying Women can't do anything, that were not dominate, I just proved I'm dominate over you bar rats." She rasped at them while the music blasted and she listened to the words.
"So clever whatever, I'm done with these inevers, alone I walk the winding way here I stay it's over no longer I feel it growing stronger, I live to die another day in tell I fade away why give up why give in, it's not enough."
" It never is, so I'll go on into the end we've become desiccant it's not enough it never is but I'll go on in tell the END!"
The music screamed and yelled and Sakura smiled, the lyrics were good -"Why give up why give in?" She liked it. Her attention was drawn back to the angry men when. The drew her attention by ruddily pounding on the table.
"Women aren't better, men are stronger, Faster, more intelligent, and we are dominate." He stated.
"I'm stronger than all of you here, I'm faster than all of you here, not to mention more flexible and I'm more intelligent, I bet you'd didn't even notice that I spiked all five of your drinks... Twice, tell me can you see straight? Dominance is not a factor at all, it's the power of influence over others." Sakura stated with a smirk.
"If I say so myself you were all influenced by me tonight, so now you have two options. One, start talking, I want all the information you have about the Akatsuki. Two I let you die a painful death, the poison in your drinks will take twenty-four hours to decompose you alive, or you talk and I give you the antidote and you can continue your pitiful lives." Sakura said with a seductive smile while she got off of the Uchiha's lap and stood up, in a graceful way.
"Huh? You can't make us talk!" One of the men said while he got up and then collapsed to the floor.
"Looks like your body's already wasting away. Shame." Sakura said with Sarcasm.
"Okay, we'll talk antidote first." One of them tried to bargain.
"Ahhh, your in no situation to be bargaining, I call the shots from now on." Sakura said with a smile while she turned to look at the dance floor, she really wanted to dance again the song was perfect-" everybody go Wooooh-Woooh-Whoooooo! I'm feeling better than I ever did!"
Sakura dunked and avoided an shot glass, from hitting her unmarred face. "Really?" She asked before the man was sent flying across the room without Sakura even touching him.
"What if we refuse to talk?" One man asked.
"One- I'll torture you, or Sasuke will. Two- I'll kill people every five minutes I don't hear something useful out of your mouth, or I'll kill one of you." Sakura said with a wicked smile.
"It would suck having to move towns, leave home, the small families you have. All this time building up an okay lifestyle, of power, sex, fun, home? Just gone, because you wouldn't talk and everyone here tonight's dead, the blood will be on my hands but the culprit will be you." Sakura said with a wicked smile.
"O-Okay O-Okay, we'll talk!" One man caved.
"Then Start- Akatsuki." Sakura demanded.
"We last saw Itachi Uchiha... A month ago in the waterfall country. He was with Kisame and he had a tailed demon." Riku started and Sakura grinded her teeth, at the way people referred to them as demons.
He continued talking, but Sakura didn't pay attention, there was no need for her too, she already knew where they were and where they were going to be. She spent two years mapping their schedule out, to avoid them and to I counter them when the time comes.
After the men told their information Sakura looked at them Expressionless, before saying "That's all you have?... Seriously... I just wasted my whole night trying to get information I already had!" Sakura said exasperated.
"You... Haruno Sakura, your record, the record the have on you. It says your Tsuanda's apprentice, and three months ago you surpassed her, you have her inhuman strength, And flaming attitude, Your a seductress and a assassin, you've had many S- and A- rank missions, involving the Akastuki, your intellectual level is much high than most."
You also have... A lot of information about the Akatsuki. Your only sixteen and you haven't even taken the Jounin exams, but you were appointed ANBU anyways. Your teammates are Naruto Uzamaki is your team mate along with Hatake Kakashi, and Sai." A blond haired man read her information off while throwing a few pictures out, of her standing on Naruto's shoulders, smiling really wide while Naruto was only holding on to her with one hand and giving the camera a wide smile of his own and a thumbs up!
There was a picture of her and Kakashi with Naruto in mid-leap, about to tackle them and Sai off to the side looking confused as ever, the next picture was all of them on the ground with Naruto laying on them and Sakura looking pissed, and the one that followe that was Naruto and Sai and Lynx with bruises on the right cheeks and Sakura with her arms crossed, angrily.
She smiled at these pictures and memories she had with her boys, anger soon replaced her happiness and she demanded "How did you get them! These are Naruto's pictures, he wouldn't lose them, ever!"
After a moment of silence Sakura demanded angrier "How!?" She was beyond furious and she abruptly stood up and all five guys fell to the floor gasping for air, she was letting her control slip, she didn't care she needed to know, how they got these damn pictures.
"Answer me!" Sakura demanded and their chests became thinner while the lights above them shattered and rained down on them. Sasuke, Suigutsu, and Juugo watched in amazement. One man started to talk, and Sakura heard one word clearly.
"Capt...ured..." He choked out while Sakura realized they where the ones that Captured Naruto, or they were the head while they let other peasants do their dirty work, she became more furious, and she didn't try to stop herself she wanted to see them in pain.
She raised her hands and Riku raised in the air, before she moved her right hand and he flew through the wall, moaning in pain and still unable to breath.
"You kidnapped Naruto!" She screeched before her eyes turned red and she grabbed on by the throat and viciously snapped his neck. His limp body fell to the floor, and she took another shot, she wanted all this anger out of her system, she wanted a good fight. She wanted control.
She met Sasuke's eye contact before she spoke "He captured you too, you know that right?" She beckoned him to join.
She moved faster than ever and grabbed Riku by the Throat and stabbed the palm of his hand keeping him in place on the wall, while he gasped for air, then she saw the pictures get blown to the floor, as well as her files and she left Riku hanging, and her eyes switched back to green, while she picked up the pictures and glared at the men, before using Chakra induced speed to leave the building.
Sasuke saw Sakura leave, and he drove his Katana into Riku's neck and let him bleed to death, while he threw Kunai and shuriken at the Rest before following the girl outside. She was fighting three large men.
"I'm so... Sick of you men, thinking your better, thinking you rise above the rest of us... Your nothing!" Sakura said while she punched one man in the gut with a Chakra enhanced fist. He spiraled and hit a concrete wall, he slid down the wall and left an indent in the ugly now broken concrete.
She disappeared and reappeared in front of the blond larger
Thug and sent a kick to his chin and appeared in the air beside him and kicked her legs down on his abdomen with another fast motion she flipped and kicked him again sending him flying into the ground, and leaving a small crater in his wake.
Sakura landed on the concrete floor and walked forward a few steps, before she turned her attention to the only thug standing, he had dark brown hair and yellow eyes that reminded her of the snake sanin.
Sakura did a small combination of hits and kicks to the man, before he fell and didn't get up. She frowned at the lack of entertainment, she got a fight; not a good one, but a fight never less.
She turned her attention to the girl crying on the ground, they had been trying to rape her. Sakura's anger flared again but she used a soft and comforting voice, to sooth the girl.
"Are you Okay?" Sakura asked the Scared woman who looked seven or eight years older than herself.
"Don't hurt me!" The brunet cried covering herself, Sakura frowned and replied in a nice cheery voice.
"Why would I have saved you if I wanted to hurt you." Sakura asked while she bent down and held her hands out to the girl, showing her green Chakra.
"I'm going to heal you. You have a broken wrist, and a sprained ankle, that gash on your arm doesn't look pleasant either." Sakura said while she squated beside the woman.
"Why?... No one in this town is nice... What do you want...!?" the women said while Sakura concentrated on her Chakra.
"I don't want anything, neither do my... Team mates, I suggest you move towns if it's so bad here. Is it so bad I want to help another women out? You were in trouble, you needed help; so I helped you." Sakura said with a genuine smile.
"There has to be some Catch!" The women protested up in tell Sakura shook her head no and the women sighed and then hugged her. She winced in pain against Sakura who was now on the hard tuff.
"Sorry!" the women said exasperatedly while Sakura just laughed and said it was nothing, she healed the woman and started walking away towards Sasuke.
"Where'd The other two go?!" Sakura asked not noticing the cut on her cheek, where blood was starting to leak out of.
"To check on Karin, and then back to the hotel." Sasuke answered while his gaze flipped from her eyes to her bleeding cheek.
"Heal that." Sasuke ordered, and motioned towards her cheek.
"Why?! It doesn't hurt." Sakura said and tried to touch her cheek before Sasuke caught her hand and brought it away from her small wound.
"Just do it." Sasuke sneered a little to forcefully.
"I can't..." Sakura said not looking at his obsidian orbs, but at the ground to her right, while her right arm was wrapped around her front chest area.
"Why?" Sasuke asked while they continued to walk.
"I use all of my- Deidara's Chakra on the fight earlier this morning, and the remainder on those five bar rats, and then the last on defeating those thugs and healing that woman." Sakura said frustration evident on her face and in her smooth voice, as well as worry.
"Hn... You were clever back at the bar." Sasuke stated more than complemented.
"Thanks... I think?... I know your trying, I think? Sasuke if you want to compliment someone, try it in a warmer tone and less of a demand." Sakura advised.
"Noted." Sasuke joked and smirked at her, Sakura smiled lightly back at the young man. Sakura's stomach growled a small but entertaining noise.
"Someone's Hungry?" Sasuke asked more than stated for once.
"Yeah... A little bit, I haven't eaten sense last night. Plus alcohol on a empty stomach doesn't settle well either." Sakura said with a pink blush on her normally fare complexion.
"Aa...Ramen?" Sasuke asked while stopping in front of a small Ramen store. Sakura looked hesitant at first before she sighed and walked in front of the Uchiha into the small restaurant.
After Sakura ordered Miso Ramen; Naruto's favorite, while she preferred Sea food Ramen, she thought to at least have a part of the blondie here. Sasuke ordered Beef Ramen, funny he used to order that back home, after missions.
"Do you...and your team... Eat Ramen a lot?" Sakura asked feeling uncomfterbal.
"Hn." Sasuke said from across the table, Hn meaning a yes; but the Carnation haired teen didn't take it as a yes, or an answer at all and just stopped talking. She abruptly stood up and put a few bills on the table before walking out of the small restraunt. She walked out into the street and looked left and then right before she started to turn right, and head down the main road.
Sasuke sighed and followed her out, staying in the shadows, silently watching her look left and right before quickly walking to the right. He sighed inwardly and caught her wrist before she could even take ten steps away from the Ramen shop.
"Let go Uchiha." She growled venomously while she tried to get her body part back to herself. After a minute of struggling against his iron grip she whipped around and faced him.
"W-W-H-hy... Why won't... You let me go...." Sakura asked a double meaning question to the Uchiha, in a quiet whisper as if he or...she would shatter.
The strange feelings he had been getting ever sense she arrived had started again, when he touched her wrist, with every passing by minute they grew, his heart beat fastened, while unknown feelings bubbled to life. Guilt... Jealously... Regret... Anger... Humor...all of these feelings started coming back to him, feelings that haven't existed sense that incident, or feelings he buried in tell she showed up.
He hadn't felt like this before, when they were genin's why now? All these unanswered questions buzzed in his head for a moment, he felt her try to get away again obviously tiered of getting nothing back, he finally answered the confusing truth.
"Because... I have to know... What this is..." Sasuke said not making anything clear to Sakura.
"What! what is? Sasuke?!" Sakura asked persistent to get away or get a reasonable answer.
"Dammit Sakura... These feelings they haven't ever... Affected ..me in tell you showed up... I haven't had them sense I was... With My... Family... And Naruto..." Sasuke seethed, not making her eye contact; meaning it wasn't directed at her.
Sakura gently touched his cheek, it was obvious she didn't know how to react, she was nervous; he could react violently and hurt her, or he could shy away from her, there were so many What If's... She didn't know what he would do but she hesitantly directed his attention towards herself.
"Your Human...emotions are a part of being Human... Even you the "Almightily Uchiha" have Emotions... Your just used to hiding them... So when they do surface... You don't know how to handle them." Sakura said the logic, while she absentmindedly kept her hand on his lower cheek and chin, she gave him a soft smile that would melt anyone's heart, even the cold Uchiha's.
"Sakura...why are you helping me... I've been keeping you away from your perfect life..." Sasuke said a little regret evident in his normal monotone voice, while his eyes looked everywhere but at her.
"Ha. Ha. Uhhhhh... About that, well. you see, I ummmm... I kinda got a mission, that lets me join team hebi temporarily and ummm help defeat Akatsuki... Under a protected thingy... So I won't... Become... A missing... Nin... And... Possibly... Bring you home..." Sakura said, now it being her turn to look everywhere but him, while her warm hand dropped from his face and fell limply by her side.
"You..." Sakura cringed at the beginning expecting to be kicked out, why'd I have to tell him, why'd I let the guilt break me down... Stupid! Your stupid Sak!
"You... Just never give up do you.." Sasuke said with a smirk at her troubled and concerned facial expression, that soon faded into a relieved and serene expression.
"So your not going to kick me out of the team... Or kill me?" Sakura asked in a teasing manner, but Sasuke knew she was completely serious.
"Your apart of the team... Even if you don't want to be, you are." Sasuke said before walking a few steps back towards the Ramsn store.
"Coming?" Sasuke asked while looking over his shoulder at the stunned girl, a smirk on his handsome face.
"Huh? Oh yeah." Sakura said and took a step forward. Whoever was mocking her up above or down below really needs to stop, Seriosuly can I have one nice day?!
She tripped miserably over a large rock she hadn't seen, and fell forward, Sasuke caught her upper body but the worst of the damage had already been done. She whimpered a small curse and bit her lip to keep herself from not screaming, the Rock had broken her ankle. The bone was a Compound fracture, it hurt extremely bad and a centimeter of the bone was striking out of her skin, blood was quickly surrounding the wound and skin.
"Sakura!" Sasuke said concern in his voice, while he sat her down a little away from the rock, but not to far to where she wouldn't hurt herself more. He grinded his teeth at the gory sight and wondered how she could keep that pain bottled up.
Sakura slowly pulled her left foot to herself and bent her knee, in one swift motion she grabbed her ankle bone, and popped it back in her leg and a small whimper escaped her bleeding lip with a sigh of relief, she tried to summon Chakra to her hand to heal herself. After a minute of nothing and slow bleeding she knew she was out of luck and Chakra.
"W-Well have to get back to the hotel I'll be able to... Properly wrap it there and tomorrow morning I should be able to heal it." Sakura said while she slowly and painfully started to get up before Sasuke's hand came in contact with her right shoulder and pushed her down.
"Don't move." Sasuke ordered from concern, while he traveled his hand down her arm leaving pleasurable goosebumps in his wake, he smirked at this and interlaced his fingers with hers, not in a hand holding position but a even at the fingers and then inclined on the hand, he tried to concentrate his Chakra into his hand but after a moment or two he was panting like a dog.
She gave a small laugh. "Not so easy is it." Sakura asked in a slightly amused voice before it faded to pain and raspy pants of her own. She used the Chakra he was supplying and moved her leg in the air, and rested it on his leg before she moved their hands to her bloody ankle, and use the blueish green Chakra and healed her foot.
It took twice as long and both were exhausted afterwards. Sakura leaned on Sasuke for support before he traveled a hand up to her wounded cheek and used a little Chakra to heal the cut in too it's normal skin, as if it was never there.
"Tha...nks." Sakura panted to him and he nodded in response trying to control his rapid breaths and tingles her skin and breath did to him, when they came in contact with his own.
"Would you like your Ramen?!" A women called from behind them ruining their small moment. Hn... Every time we get close... Someone interrupts. Sasuke nodded before taking the carry out bag while Sakura shakily thanked her.
As they got up from their spots on the ground and awkwardly disentangled from one another, they both avoided eye contact with one another. Sasuke took the take out bag and walked towards the right, while Sakura smiled at the girl and walked beside him.
"Hey..." she waited in tell she had both of their full attention before continuing "You guys are a really cute couple!" The young blond woman complemented before disappearing inside once again.
"U-Uh... We're ...not a couple..." Sakura stuttered out loud, before she completely Disappeared, "Oh please, don't be modest. It's hard to find love nowadays, but I know when I see it!" The woman said waving bye and left a shocked Sasuke and a blushing Sakura in the street.
"We'd make a Cute couple? " Sakura asked out loud half amused half confused and somewhat mockingly.
"Is that a question?" The Uchiha asked with a smirk thinking he had caught her.
"Depends if you have a answer!" Sakura challenged with a small smile.
"I do." Sasuke said with a broadened smirk, that could easily be mistaken as a smile, which only grew wider when she sighed her defeat.
We would make a good 'couple.'
