Anything Worth Having is Worth Fighting For

Disclaimer: I don’t own Naruto. If I did the anime would not move at such an agonizingly slow pace.

Chapter 1

“You look good enough to eat.” Sasuke whispered.

The girl giggled and Sasuke nuzzled his nose into the juncture where her neck and shoulder met. Inwardly Sasuke

sighed. He hated doing this. Having to woo the girls but if he wanted to get laid, sacrifices had to be made.

“Oh, Sasuke-kun, you’re so charming.”

Sasuke had to resist the urge to cringe and push the girl off him. No one called him that, but his mother. The

girl on his lap moaned and moved her head to the side to give Sasuke more room as he kissed her neck.

“Sakura! Stop worrying so much, you’ll be fine. You’re eighteen and you’ve never gone to one of Sasuke’s

parties. Live a little!”

Sasuke’s head snapped up when he heard Sakura’s name. He quickly scanned the crowd and saw her with her best

friend Ino. She looked uncomfortable as she responded to Ino.

‘How did Ino convince her to come?’

The brunette looked at Sasuke when he stopped his actions. “Sasuke-kun what’s—“

Sasuke pushed her off his lap and her sentence ended in an indignant squeak as she fell against the arm of the

couch.

“Hey, what the—“

“Go find someone else to screw.” Sasuke said.

Without waiting for a response Sasuke walked away. The girl huffed and stormed away.

Sasuke smirked as he walked closer to Sakura.

‘The lamb has entered the wolf’s den, how convenient.’

“Hello ladies.”

Sasuke watched as Sakura jerked her head towards him, startled.

“H-hello.” Sakura stammered.

“Hi. The party looks awesome.” Ino said.

“Thanks. There are drinks in the kitchen.” Sasuke informed.

He hoped she would take the bait, he wanted Sakura to himself. Sasuke hadn’t intended to go after Sakura

tonight, but if she was here it must have been some kind of sign. Either way, he wasn’t going to waste the

opportunity.

“Only if Sakura will go. She only agreed to come to your party if I didn’t leave her.” Ino said.

Sakura blushed at this statement.

“I’m sure Sakura will be ok, but just to be sure I’ll watch over her.”

“Nu-uh, I’m not leaving her with a womanizer like you.”

“Ino, that’s not very nice!” Sakura admonished.

“Well, it’s true!” Ino defended.

“It’s all right. She only speaks the truth.” Sasuke said.

“Still….” Sakura trailed off.

“Ino, Shikamaru is here. I’m sure he’d like to see you, considering you are his girlfriend.” Sasuke said.

Ino looked at Sasuke and then at Sakura. She looked around the room and then back to Sakura. Sakura saw the torn

expression on Ino's face and felt bad for her.

“Go ahead Ino. I’ll be fine.” Sakura said.

“I can’t leave you! You only agreed to come to the party if I stayed with you. You upheld your end of the

agreement, so it’s only honorable for me to uphold mine.”

“I don’t mind. Go.” Sakura ordered.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“Positive?”

Sasuke had to stifle his impatience as he watched the exchange.

‘Just go already!’

“Yes.” Sakura said.

Ino hugged her and whispered to her before she left.

“Remember the rules of going to a party. Ten Ten and Hinata are around her somewhere. Be super careful and don’t

take any risks.”

Sakura nodded her head in understanding.

“One last thing, don’t be alone with Sasuke. No matter what, do NOT be alone with him. Don’t fall for any of his

tricks. Stay where people can see you. Don’t go into any empty rooms. Especially, don’t be by yourself.”

Sakura once again nodded her head and Ino finally let go.

“Have fun!” Ino chirped.

Sasuke watched as Ino walked away.

‘Finally.’

He turned to Sakura and smirked.

“Would you like something to drink? Some pop perhaps?”

Sakura gave him a small smile.

“Sure.”

She followed Sasuke as he walked towards the kitchen. He walked past the line completely ignoring it. Uchiha’s

don’t wait and besides, this was his house. He could do whatever he wanted. Sakura walked behind him, feeling

uncomfortable with the fact that they were cutting in front of all these people.

“What would you like?” Sasuke asked.

“Cherry Coke.” Sakura answered.

The self proclaimed bartender looked shocked that someone was actually ordering a non alcoholic beverage. Sasuke

was about to snap at the guy but he stopped himself. He didn’t want to push Sakura away from him.

“You heard the lady; she’d like a cherry coke.” Sasuke said.

The bartender nodded his head and grabbed a can of cherry coke and a plastic cup.

“Ice?” He asked.

Sakura shook her head. He poured the drink into the cup and handed it to her.

“Enjoy the party.”

“Thank you.”

Sakura took a sip of her drink and followed Sasuke out of the kitchen. He led her to the couch and they both sat

down.

“I heard about your promotion to ANBU Captain. Congratulations.” Sakura said.

“Thanks.” Sasuke said.

Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto were on Squad Seven during their genin and chunin days. The three had become Jonin and

Sakura had become a medic nin. Despite all of this, the three had remained friends. When Sasuke was fifteen and

a half, he started to drink and party. Eventually, he had become a womanizing bad boy. Sakura had attempted to

stop him, but he wouldn’t listen and their friendship became strained. A few days after Sakura’s fifteen

birthday, they had gotten into a huge fight about the things Sasuke was doing and their friendship broke up.

“I heard that Tsunade-sama is assigning your team tomorrow.” Sakura said.

“Hn.”

“Who are you hoping to get?”

“Naruto.”

‘No surprise there. They are best friends after all. They have great teamwork, when they aren’t arguing.’

‘This is getting boring.’

“So Sakura, is there a reason you came to the party? It couldn’t be just because Ino forced you to come.”

Sakura looked at Sasuke confused. Not only was the question random, but it was rare for Sasuke to speak so much

at one time.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean,” Sasuke leaned closer to her. “Did you wanna see someone?”

Sakura backed up as Sasuke leaned in.

“N-no.”

‘Crap! I have to stop stuttering or he’ll know I’m nervous!”

Sasuke smirked at her.

‘She’s nervous.’

“Sa-ku-ra.” Sasuke said.

Sakura sucked her breath in at the way he said her name. Her eyes widened as he leaned in closer.

‘Is he gonna kiss me? What do I do? Calm down; don’t let him know he’s getting to you. That’s just what he

wants.’

Sasuke paused and stared at her for a second before he leaned in again. Sakura gave a slight gasp as he leaned

into her neck and…. SMELLED HER?

‘The hell?’

“Hmmmmmmm, Sakura, you smell wonderful.” Sasuke purred.

Sakura blushed at this.

“Stop it.” She whispered.

She heard how her voice sounded breathy and unconvinced and hated it. She was positive Sasuke could hear it too.

“Why? I know you like it.”

Sakura’s breath caught in her throat when Sasuke licked her neck. Out of nervousness the cup shook in her hand.

“Sasuke.”

Sasuke glanced up when he heard his name and saw Neji with his girlfriend Tenten.

“Neji.”

Sasuke returned Neji’s slight glare as Teten pulled Sakura off the couch.

“Sasuke, you pig! Stay away from Sakura!” Tenten shouted.

“Are you telling me what to do? My, you’ve picked a brave one Neji.” Sasuke mocked.

“Leave Tenten out of this.” Neji hissed.

“She’s the one who got herself involved in the first place.”

“I wouldn’t have to if you had kept away from Sakura!”

“Sakura’s a big girl. She can make her own choices.”

“How dare you treat Sakura this way? You’re only using her!” Tenten yelled.

A crowd began to gather around them and Sakura nervously looked around.

“Guys stop it. You’re making a scene.” Sakura said.

Tenten looked around and glared at the crowd.

“What are you looking at?! Why don’t you guys mind your own business, you nosy jerks?!” Tenten shouted.

Neji sighed and grabbed Tenten’s hand.

“Let’s go.” He commanded.

“Not without Sakura. I’m not gonna leave her with this disgusting play boy.”

Sasuke glared at her.

‘How dare she talk about me like that? Who does she think she is? Annoying bitch!’

Sakura saw Sasuke’s and Tenten’s angry expressions and knew she had to do something.

“I’ll go with you guys.” Sakura said.

Tenten’s expression instantly changed into relief, while Sasuke’s changed into slight shock.

‘She chose Tenten over me? Fine, this will make the victory all the sweeter. I always did love a challenge.’

As he thought this, Sasuke’s expression changed into a smirk. He leaned down to Sakura’s ear and ignored Tenten’s outraged gasp.

“I’ll see you later, Angel.”

Sakura blushed when he said this. He leaned back up and saw Neji and Tenten glaring at him. Sasuke smirked at

them again and walked away.

“Are you ok Sakura?” Tenten asked.

When she didn’t get a response, she repeated Sakura’s name. Tenten furrowed her brow when Sakura still didn’t

respond.

‘I know it didn’t mean anything to him but I can’t help wishing that Tenten and Neji hadn’t interrupted.’

“Sakura!”

Sakura quickly snapped her head towards Tenten.

“What?”

“I’ve been calling your name for the past couple of minutes. Is anything wrong?”

“No, nothings wrong.”

Tenten looked at her in disbelief. Suddenly she gasped.

“You don’t like Sasuke, do you?” She asked.

Neji’s bored look disappeared and he looked at Sakura with interest.

“No, don’t be ridiculous.” Sakura answered.

Tenten and Neji looked at her, unconvinced.

‘If I don’t like Sasuke, then why is my heart still pounding?’

“Hey Sasuke!” Naruto greeted.

“Hn.”

“Hello Sasuke-san.” Hinata said.

Sasuke nodded to her.

‘Haven’t I told her to stop calling me that?’

“Hinata, I’ve told you to stop calling me that.”

“I’m sorry.” Hinata said.

“Whatever.” Sasuke said.

Naruto glared at Sasuke.

“What dobe?”

“Be nice to Hinata-chan, Sasuke-teme." Naruto ordered.

“Don’t order me around loser.” Sasuke said.

“I’ll order you around if you’re mean to Hinata-chan.”

“Order me around again and I’ll kick your ass.”

“Guys, stop it.” Hinata pleaded.

Naruto looked at her and Sasuke didn’t even bother.

“I’m sorry Hinata-chan.” Naruto apologized.

Naruto looked expectantly at Sasuke, who just stared apathetically back.

“Don’t you have anything to say Sasuke-teme?”

“No.”

“Sasuke-teme!”

“I stopped fighting with you. Don’t push your luck idiot.” Sasuke said, glaring.

Naruto glared back and opened his mouth to respond when Hinata touched his arm. He looked at her and sighed.

Naruto then looked to Sasuke’s smirking face and had to resist the urge to wipe that arrogant smirk off his

face.

‘Why is he my best friend again?’
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Sasuke walked out of the kitchen, with a bottle of beer in his hand, when he saw Ino bounding towards him. He

resisted the urge to sigh. This was Sakura’s best friend so he had to make sure that Ino liked him.

“Hey Sasuke.” Ino greeted.

“Hn.”

Sasuke and Shikamaru nodded to each other in greeting.

“Where’s Sakura?” Ino asked.

“With Neji and Tenten.”

“Ok, Shika-kun, let’s go look for them.”

“How troublesome.” Shikamaru said.

“Stop saying that! We’re going to go look for them.” Ino ordered.

“Hey Ino.”

Ino looked at Sasuke with confusion.

‘Why is he smirking at me?’

“Nice hickey.”

Ino gasped and blushed in embarrassment.

“Shika-kun, don’t move. I’ll be right back.” Ino said.

Shikamaru nodded his head and kept his laughter in until Ino was out of ear shot.

“Thanks.” Shikamaru said.

“Hn.”

Shikamaru sighed at Sasuke’s response.

‘Of course he would say that.’
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

“SASUKEEEEEEEEEEE!”

Sasuke thrust into the girl a few more times and orgasmed as well. He collapsed on top of the girl and tried to

regain his breath. The girl ran her hand through his hair and Sasuke pushed it away. He rarely liked human

contact.

“Don’t.” Sasuke ordered.

He rolled off of her and turned so his back was facing her. He closed his eyes and attempted to go to sleep, no

longer caring about the girl. Not that he cared about her in the first place. He only pretended to so he could

get laid.

One of the last thoughts Sasuke had was about seducing Sakura and he smirked.

‘I will have you.’
