Can't believe it's already at this point, six chapters. Huh, that's kind of epic. I have a feeling this is going to be a very long fic for me. I still haven't come up with a name yet, so not going to post it just yet. Maybe I'll think it over more while writing the chapter, so maybe I'll be posting this chapter soon. You guys can only hope lol. Anyway thanks for your reviews! Enjoy the next weird chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, if I did, being the author I would understand the need to not make it 'Sakura' instead of 'Naruto.' Or at least not giving her, her own show for pete's sake. Lol
Kyo~
ps. Didn't get to finish rereading this, so bare with the mistakes! Sorry! I'll come back and edit it later! Have to start moving now so, enjoy!
Chapter six: Dangerous ladies
" Are you alright?" Shisui asked softly in his ear. Saku sighed against her neck.
" Yes, sorry." He apologized, maybe for kissing her back, maybe for leading her on, maybe for being aroused against her bottom, or maybe for allowing himself to be tempted by her at all. She smiled and her shoulders shook as she laughed softly at him.
" Don't apologize Sakura-chan. I like this side of you." Her face felt warm against his when he rose his head to look into her eyes, a little surprised to see them the scarlet of the Sharingan, he almost was lured into kissing her again. Who knew when your drunk, you could get tempted by something as simple as the Sharingan. He needed to make sure to stay far away from Uchiha when he got drunk then. He would remember that from now on.
" I don't." He said in return. Her rose lips tilted. Now that he looked at her slightly swelled lips, from their shared kissing, he noticed she had lipstick on and groaned. He had to have red lipstick on his mouth, and neck for sure now. Perfect, as if knowing he kissed her at all wasn't bad enough, now he had the proof on his neck and mouth.
" Anytime you feel like this again, you be sure to come find me." Shisui said and pushed her hips down onto his, he hissed out a complaint and she cut it off with a quick kiss to his mouth, then she hopped off and walked away. His eye twitched as he swiveled his chair around before anyone noticed he was hard, and then faced the bar again.
" That was the hottest thing I've ever seen." Ino said over Tenten who was staring at Saku like he had just met him. Saku blushed hard. He cursed Ino and covered his face with his hands wondering where he went wrong in life.
" Shut the hell up." He muttered into his hands, just to hear Ino laugh.

Shisui plopped into the booth between Naruto and Neji again.
Sasuke was looking at her like she had never seen her before, Itachi was shaking her head, Naruto and Lee were looking at her in hero worship, and Neji gave her a curious once over, before handing her a handkerchief to wipe the smeared lipstick off. Shisui look it with a wicked grin of accomplishment before Naruto and Lee started grilling her, asking her how she got Saku to summit to her so well.
" He didn't summit, not unless you get him into bed." Shisui corrected them.
" Don't corrupt them Shisui." Itachi interrupted. Shisui sent her cousin a smile. Itachi rolled her eyes.
Saku and his group left shortly after that. Well Tenten, and Saku left, while Saku actually picked Hinata up and tossed him over his shoulder like a bag of potato's. Ino left with a black haired beauty.
The girls left quickly after that. Shisui and Itachi the first to go, and then Sasuke. Naruto left with her, and Lee and Neji left together.

" Mother asked you as well." Itachi commented as she and her older cousin walked toward the Uchiha district. Shisui didn't even bother hiding it, or feeling ashamed, she didn't even falter at that.
" Yes." Itachi shook her head.
" Are you going to try harder because of it?" Shisui smirked at her.
" I've been trying for a couple years, but never with real intent. Now that I know that the game is on, I'm going to play for real. Sakura is a catch, and he's someone I like." Itachi blinked in surprise. She glanced at her cousin and then frowned.
" You are attracted to him, or you have affection for him?" Itachi pondered. Shisui laughed softly, her normal silky laugh, not the sultry one she used on the men. The laugh Itachi had grown up around.
" Sakura Haruno is an interesting man. I respect him." Itachi was floored. It wasn't often Shisui respected anyone, let alone a man. Men she used as play things, yet she was saying she respected Saku? Also Saku himself didn't seem to mind her touching him, he pushed her away, but not as if he was mad at her for trying. He seemed comfortable with her. Itachi had to wonder how much Shisui went to see Saku, if they hung out, if they were friends, or if they were lovers and kept it secret.
After all Saku had laid his head on her shoulder, instead of push her away. It took a level of not only familiarity and trust, but also comfort to trust someone not to push it when they stop them. Itachi was puzzled. She knew her cousin had her many layers, some of which she hid, and others she hid behind, and she hadn't much tried to pry them apart to understand her, she just figured her cousin was who she was, so she didn't bother to know Shisui's personal life.
Maybe that was a mistake. Itachi had to wonder if all the chasing Shisui did of Saku Haruno was for more then just sex. Did Shisui possibly have feelings for him? With Shisui she couldn't ask, but also she couldn't tell even if she tried to figure it out. Did It really matter either way?
Wasn't it between Saku and Shisui if they became lovers or not. So why did Itachi even care one way or another? Itachi frowned and the rest of the trip to the district was done in silence.

Morning:
As usual waking after a night out with Ino, Saku had a painful headache, and a terrible hangover.
" Kill me." A rough voice cursed from the direction of the floor. Saku opened his eyes. That was odd. Not a lot of people stayed over his house. Not often a guy. And never his bedroom. Had he been that drunk that he brought a guy home?
Saku opened his eyes and turned his head to see Tenten, his hair a mess of tangles and loose around his bare shoulders. He was sitting up rubbing his head and with a pained expression. He was also on Saku's bedroom floor.
Another groan and Saku turned to look at Hinata on his stomach beside him. His arm flung over the edge of the bed, and though he was clothed, he looked rough. His hair also a mess and lose and spread across the bed in violet strands. They were even over Saku's bare chest. Where the hell was his shirt?
" You want breakfast?" Saku asked softly, because if he spoke much louder it would kill his head. Tenten glanced over at Saku and thought about it. Then nodded. Saku nodded himself and climbed out of bed. He made his way first to his bathroom to relieve himself and brush his teeth. Then he made his way to his kitchen as slow as a snail. He was making some bacon, eggs, and coffee, spiked with some sake when Naruto and Sasuke showed up, they just walked in like they owned the place, with out knocking. Saku was use to it.
They both walked into the kitchen and were stunned by his appearance. Saku hadn't bothered to do anything but brush his teeth, he hadn't bothered with his hair or to wipe the lipstick off his neck or anything else. He was only in his nin-pants with his hair loose. He no doubt looked like he was waking the morning after with a lover. Thus why they froze in the doorway. Sasuke looked curious. Naruto looked like she might pull Sasuke back out the door and then knock, as if by not knocking she had entered an alternate dimension.
" Stop gawking." Saku commanded voice coming out rougher then he intended. Sasuke and Naruto flushed in embarrassment. Though Sasuke finally made a move and walked in taking a seat at the kitchen table. Naruto followed, while she also looked to his stairs as if expecting some woman to wonder down from his bedroom.
" You want us to come back another time?" Sasuke asked curiously. Saku snorted but didn't bother answering as he drank the spiked coffee. It wasn't that he needed a drink, it was just a simple fact that to get rid of a hangover you had to drink the cursed thing that gave you the hangover in the first place. You could always do what Tsunade did to get rid of the hangover, constantly stay inebriated.
" You got some extra clothes?" Tenten asked stepping into the kitchen. He had a towel around his waist, hair wet and sticking to his chest, and that was it. Naruto and Sasuke choked. Tenten gave them a glance then turned back to Saku not bothered. Apparently he dealt with being almost naked with his two female teammate all the time and didn't even care.
" Yeah, take what you want. Hina up yet?" Saku said deciding to ignore the gawking teammates of his. Tenten made a face.
" He was freaking out when I went in the shower." Tenten said offhand. Saku sighed.
" Sasuke take over." Saku commanded holding up the spatula while he and Tenten went back up to his room. Hina was sitting in bed looking confused and dazed. He relaxed completely when he saw Saku.
" Come on Hina you know my bedroom." The Hyuuga blushed and rubbed the back of his neck embarrassed.
" I wasn't sure." He said with his soft voice. Saku snorted.
" The shower's open, and you can borrow some clothes. Breakfast is almost done. Don't come down until your dressed, Naruto's here." At that his face went purple. Saku smiled and Tenten searched for something to wear while Saku went to the bathroom to brush his hair, and wipe the lipstick from Shisui off his neck. She had left marks. He tisked. He walked out and back down stairs before Sasuke burned something. He would get a shower and dressed after breakfast.
He didn't mind smelling like Shisui's musk for a little longer.

Sasuke and Naruto tried not to stare when Saku came back down still shirtless, though he had brushed his hair and washed his face and the lipstick off his neck. Neither failed to notice he had marks on his neck, no doubt from Shisui's love bites they had witnessed.
" If you wanted to come along you could have just said something instead of hiding in the back of the bar all night." Saku said speaking up for the first time in a few minutes, after taking the spatula from Sasuke and dishing food up. Tenten came back in at the moment and his nose scrunched up at those words.
Sasuke and Naruto flinched.
" Sorry, but we just wanted to see you by yourself. With out us." Saku snorted.
" Just wanted to see if you were gay or not." Sasuke muttered. Saku turned and locked eyes with Sasuke who flushed at being heard and lowered her eyes.
" Whether or not I was isn't any of your two's business. Do I get involved in your love lives?" Hinata walked in at that moment and flinched at that, He kept to the doorway, while Tenten sat at the table as if nothing were going on. He had grabbed a plate on his way there and was eating silently.
" What love lives?" Naruto asked. Saku rolled his eyes.
" If you had love lives, I wouldn't get involved in them unless asked to. Maybe to kick some guys ass or something, or advice giver, but who you dated or slept with is your choice it goes the same for mine." Sasuke frowned.
" We're teammates." She said a little upset. He was always pushing them out of his life as much as possible. And they were trying their hardest to keep him close.
" Does Tenten and Hinata share their love lives with Neji, Lee, Shino, and Kiba?" Tenten shook his head while he stuffed a egg into his mouth. He look a little weird in Saku's red shirt, and black pants, of course Hinata looked odd in the black dress shirt and pants with his long hair damp and tied up. Hina blushed and shook his head to the question.
Sasuke and Naruto frowned at the two other men.
" But... Sasuke and I know about all that about each other." Naruto complained confused as to why it was different.
" I'm male so things are different then they are between the two of you." Saku said in reply. The two women frowned.
" I know you want to know everything you can but some things are better left unsaid. We're not twelve anymore." Saku said and then set the plates of food on the table. He set an extra down for Hina beside Naruto. Saku pointed to the food while looking at Hina who looked surprised then he turned red at being sat next to Naruto.
Saku then made coffee and spiked three glasses with Sake, while he gave Naruto and Sasuke regular coffee, he gave Tenten and Hina the sake coffee mix, to help with the hangover. Hina made a face when he tasted the sake in the coffee as did Tenten.
" Did anyone see where Ino ended up?" Tenten asked. Saku snorted.
" Probably with some girl from the bar." Hina looked embarrassed about the entire subject while also fidgeted at sitting next to his crush. Naruto grinned at him, probably sensing his nervousness and trying to make him relax.
" He looked like he was hesitating, compared to what he usually does." Tenten commented. Trying to be gentle with the two women at the table listening in. Saku frowned.
" He was. He's trying to cut down on the women." Everyone's eyebrows went up, except of course Saku himself who had said it.
" Because of Shika-chan?" Hinata asked curiously. Saku smiled at him.
" Of course." Sasuke and Naruto listened closely interested in finding out things about their guy friends that they didn't know.
" Take it easy today guys. My heads killing me already." Saku commented being the medic. Tenten snorted.
" That's an understatement." he muttered. Hinata nodded in agreement.
" I can't give you anything to help, but the sake should ease the pain a little, try to stay home, or in a quiet environment for the rest of the day." Saku said softly because his head pounded. He could stay home and sleep if he wanted to, but he knew he needed to get things done with today being his only day off in a long while. He would get a shower then probably clean, and then go shopping, he barely had food left for breakfast.
" I doubt Mother would allow me to sleep all day." Hinata said with a frown.
" I have training with Lee and Neji again today, I can't cancel again." Tenten said with a groan.
" Then we're all screwed because I can't stay at home and sleep it off either." Tenten snorted.
" I bet Ino's sleeping it off just fine with a woman at his side keeping him warm." Saku chuckled.
" Don't complain we could all be in his place if we wanted." Hina blushed. Sasuke and Naruto frowned together. Tenten snorted.
" If I wanted a woman I wouldn't have became a Shinobi." Tenten said with a drink of his spiked coffee to punctuate his sentience.
" Is that true for all Shinobi?" Naruto asked quietly not wanting to interrupt the male bonding time, but she wanted to know. None of them looked like they forgot the two women were there.
" Hina is going against his mother to be a Shinobi, but he can't refuse a wife when he's already pushing being a ninja. And Ino's not a Shinobi anymore. Things are a little different with Suna, for Temari." Tenten said with a smirk at the last comment about their mutual friend from Suna.
The two women looked to Saku to see his reason. Saku just sipped his coffee.
" And you?" Sasuke asked Saku. He opened on jade eye to look at his old teammate. His lips twitched.
" The same. However Tsunade-sama won't allow me to keep to my single life." The room looked at him curiously.
" Oh?" Sasuke asked curiously.
" I thought the old man said he wouldn't make you get with anyone." Tenten said around a mouthful, his last, of food. Saku shrugged.
" Been too many requests for my bed sent in to Tsunade-sama. He requested me to find lovers or they will be chosen for me." Saku said nonchalantly. Sasuke and Naruto perked up at that. Knowing he had to find his own lovers excited them, it meant that they still had their own chance with him.
" Because of your family history of mostly men offspring?" Hina asked curiously.
" Of course." Saku said as if that were the only reason he thought a woman, any woman, would want him. Sasuke thought back to what his father mentioned about breaking Saku's pride when he shot him down as children. Could Saku feel he wasn't worth attention just on looks and skills alone? Did she really mess him up in that way? Was it really her fault.
" Cheh like that would be the only reason." Tenten snorted out. Saku smirked and Sasuke was relieved, knowing that Saku knew his own worth made her feel better.
" So knowing your getting a ton of requests, how many the old man command you to get lover wise?" Tenten asked frowning at his empty plate. Saku handed the male his own food with a head shake at his friends appetite, almost as bad as Chouji's, now they would be a good couple. With both their love of food.
" Three." Sasuke and Naruto choked. All the men ignored them, except Hina who gave Naruto a startled concerned look.
" Any preferences?" Tenten asked. Saku shrugged. Naruto and Sasuke couldn't believe their luck at hearing this conversation. They were learning more about their male teammate this one hour then they had in months, years.
" Has mother asked you for Neji-nee-chan?" Hina asked curiously. Saku frowned.
" Of course she has, but I highly doubt Neji would want that." At least he took that into consideration.
" Neji doesn't seem like she hates you. She's been around you a lot more recently." Saku shrugged. He couldn't tell them that he was forced to by his ANBU captain, Sasuke's older sister.
" Neji doesn't respect me as a Shinobi, she only sees me as a man." Naruto and Sasuke frowned.
" Whats wrong with not seeing you as a Shinobi?" Sasuke asked curiously. Saku shook his head.
" She sees only the man not the ninja. I'm not just a male. I have more dignity then being treated like the only thing I'm good for is sex." Sasuke and Naruto flushed in embarrassment at hearing those words from Saku's mouth. Hina looked troubled and Tenten sighed.
" That is exactly why I swore off women." Tenten said waving a spoon at his friend. Saku smiled a little at him.
" I can speak with Neji-nee-chan for you." Hina said shyly wanting to stand up for his best friend. Saku grinned at him.
" Thanks Hina but no. I'll deal with Neji's views. I don't have to like them."
" What about Shisui Uchiha? Eh seemed to me like you guys were nice and compatible last night." Tenten said with an eyebrow wiggle. Saku snorted. Sasuke tensed. Naruto frowned.
" I'm not going to make a lover out of a woman who doesn't know how to stay with one partner. If she would settle down then I don't know, but knowing Shisui that's impossible." Sasuke and Naruto didn't like that at all. Sasuke frowned deeply. So he did like Shisui.
" I'm surprised. Isn't it a bit presumptions to ask your partner to be monogamous when you have two other women?" Tenten asked. Saku nodded.
" Of course it is, but If I have a lover she belongs to me, and I can't control having more then one, it's an order. If I had my way I wouldn't have any, but if I had to have a lover I would never want more then one." Tenten nodded. Hinata agreed as well.
" Anyone else in mind, I mean so fair you haven't even found one." Saku glanced at Naruto and Sasuke with a frown.
" I do have someone in mind actually, but I highly doubt she would ever consider me." Everyone looked stunned. Saku Haruno had a crush on someone? Who the hell would that be?
" Someone who doesn't want Saku Haruno? Are you serious? You sure your not mistaken?" Tenten said not wanting Saku to dismiss his own allure to the women who adored him. Saku flushed slightly again taking them by surprise. He was embarrassed.
" She's out of my league anyway, I don't think she's ever even thought of me that way. It doesn't matter anyway." Saku waved it off, and that left Tenten and Hina with no choice but to drop it thought they wanted to know and help him get the girl he liked.
Sasuke and Naruto stayed silent mulling that over. Who could Saku like that they knew? Or did they know her at all? Not Neji or Shisui. So was there anyone else that he could like, but that didn't like him?
" So what are you going to do? You going to find your own lovers or are you going to let the old man chose for you?" Tenten asked curiously. Saku shrugged.
" I would rather find my own rather then have them chosen for me. I don't have much time, so I need to at least find one fairly quickly, I can take my time on the other two, besides having one will be a change for me, two a challenge, I'm afraid three might be too much." Saku said truthfully. He didn't forget his teammates were in the room, he figured if they wanted to know more about him they were getting the chance and this way he wouldn't have to make them feel better by spending more time outside his work for them, more then he did already.
" I'm sure you can find someone fairly easy with your reputation. Your picky though aren't you." Tenten said with a grin. Saku rolled his eyes.
" Picky...right." Saku snorted.
" Is Hokage-sama asking you to be only a lover, or are you going to marry them as well?" Saku sighed and Naruto and Sasuke went perfectly still, he was sure they were holding their breath. They both looked shocked out of their minds.
" I wouldn't assume anything, but I would guess that yes, if Tsunade requested more lovers I would guess he would just add to my already forming invisible harem." Tenten made a face.
" What do you think of this Saku-kun?" Hina asked curiously with his soft voice. Saku ran a hand through his bangs and sighed.
" It sucks. I wish I could just do my job, my work, and protect the village and my friends. I never wanted a lover. I don't have the time, nor energy for one, let alone for three. I doubt I can even make them happy being at my side when I wouldn't have much time to treat them how they should be treated. I didn't become a Shinobi to be taken off my job to raise children and stay in the village." Hina frowned.
" If you marry these women, I am sure they will not force you to stay home and become a house husband if you don't want to Saku-kun." Hina said sure about that. Saku sighed.
" If I asked I'm sure they wouldn't make me, but working like I do I would never have time for any lovers, let alone a family. I would have to cut back on my missions and work. I would have to do it regardless." Tenten frowned at his friend in pity.
" Would it be so bad to fall in love?" Naruto asked finally speaking up. She fidgeted looking shy at making herself visible to the room suddenly. Saku's eyes softened.
" No it wouldn't be." Yet again he knew how bad it could be once you fall, after all he had thought once long ago he had fallen, but he supposed maybe he never had been in love. His eyes flickered over the room and past Sasuke.
Would it be so bad?
No.
Did he want to feel that regret and pain again?
No.
So maybe it would be better for lovers to be found for him. It would maybe save him the pain.

Elsewhere:
A hooded figure glanced around the cave at the other cloaked figures. All of them simply holographic images, their bodies elsewhere in time and place.
" Now that we have all arrived I think perhaps it is time to start this meeting." The hooded figure said, her voice deep and of course commanding. Her violet ringed eyes glanced around and finally settled on the only male in the room. He nodded at her and she nodded back.
" What's this about Leader?" A golden eyed hologram asked, her sharp teeth flashing as she spoke.
" We have a little detour planned from all you current missions." The eight figures looked to their leader in surprise.
" Something more important then the tailed demon?" Another woman asked, she had brown amber colored eyes and short hair, being a holographic image sort of hid her coloring like all the rest.
" What's more important then that?" Another woman asked in a childlike voice as she bounced around, a mask covering her face and eyes.
" A medic." The eight figures glanced at each other then their leader.
" We have a medic." They said glancing at another figure with golden eyes and a Venus flytrap type plant attached to her body, then another figure with green glowing eyes, surrounded by red, instead of the usual white of everyone else, -except maybe the black of both the golden eyed woman, both of them.-
" A male medic, a Shinobi, and a teammate of the Kyuubi's container. Potentially useful in many ways." There was a silence.
" You speak of Sakura Haruno." The brown, amber eyed woman said quietly in a no nonsense voice. Leader nodded her spiky head.
" What kind of f-ed up name is that for a guy. Must be a fag." A violet eyed woman with slicked back short hair said with a sneer. The entire room looked at her with a brow raised, except maybe the masked woman, it was hard to tell either way if she had a brow raised or not, and the Venus flytrap woman, who had no eye brows.
" Regardless of his sexual orientation, most of you know him if not by site, by name, or reputation. He's the apprentice of the Kage of the leaf. A world known medic, and a powerful Shinobi." Leader said disregarding the violet eyed woman's vulgar comments like always.
" What would you have of us?" The green eyed woman asked.
" Capture him of course." Leader said with a glare.
" To be used as a future member, or bait?" The only male of the group asked. Leader smirked.
" That would depend on if he's willing to hand over his friend to us, or if we have to take her from him, now isn't it." Leader said with a soft chuckle.
" If he's bait can we play with him?" The golden eyed woman asked, the one with sharp teeth. She flashed those teeth in a way that would make anyone understand clearly that 'play' did not necessarily lead to much fun for anyone on the receiving end.
" Don't kill him." Which left much room for 'play' and the sharp toothed woman grinned to show she understood.
" Are we all going after this guy? Yeah." A bluish-gray eyed woman asked, one eye covered by her hair.
" No, two of you should do unless we see we need more. Grab him outside Konohagakure walls, wouldn't want to get too messy just yet." Leader said.
" Who f-ing goes after the fag?" The violet eyed woman asked her voice lower and dangerous.
" Decide among yourselves but don't make too much a scene." The Leader pointingly looked to the sharp toothed woman, and the one with blue-gray eyes.
With a nod the Leader and the only male of the group disappeared, leaving the rest to themselves.
" Sasori you seem to know the most about this Shinobi." A separate voice from the Venus flytrap woman said, a different voice from the first, but from the same woman. The brown eyed figure nodded.
" Deidara and I will go after him." The blue-gray eyed woman snorted out her displeasure at that.
" We are close to your position, we will be handy in need of assistance." The Green eyed woman said in return. The violet eyed woman grinned, which gave a wicked effect of being sexy and evil at the same time.
" Wouldn't want to give the f-ing princess to much fun with the f-ing fag." The violet eyed woman sneered at the blue-gray eyed woman.
" Acknowledged." The brown eyed smaller female said to the green eyed woman. They flickered out of existence. The sharp toothed woman pouted as she and the masked woman flickered out as well. The Venus flytrap was the last to leave the cave deserted and untouched.

End chapter:
First off I want to apologize for Hidan's mouth, and the 'Fag' thing. We all know Hidan has a vulgar take on life. I hate that word myself, but it's like him, her, to use it, so to keep her in character as much as possible I was left with little choice. I hope if I offended you'll forgive me.
Second, who the heck thought that was going to happen? :D I was kind of thinking about it for a while, then was like...well since I'm doing a GB I might as well show everyone off in the opposite gender, so I was like, yeah, Lets get Akatsuki in here! Lol. Who knows whats going to happen with them involved lol. Makes things interesting I think. XD
Last, I think I might have a name for this, it's still iffy, but since I may not have internet soon, I figured I would get a name for this and post it so I can get more inspiration for this fic, and you guys, girls, thoughts. After all I'm still unsure who I want to put with Saku and everyone else couple wise. I mean Harem and Sakura go together like water and ice, but I can't have a huge harem, only three lol, which is a harem in itself of course, but still. So I need your help on that front. Besides if you guys want any of the other characters with anyone you'll have to tell me, like the Ino-Shika or Hina-Naru route ne? Or possible Ten-Chou Ne? Lol
I'll post this for your help, so don't go leaving me hanging my beloved reviewers and friends!
Kyo~
P.S I already have one person planned out for Saku if you couldn't guess, so I need two more lol. :D
