TOO FREE TO TIE DOWN

Disclaimer: All characters belong to Kishimoto-san unless otherwise stated. This is a work of fiction and the story is a figment of my imagination. 'Kay?

Warnings: Yaoi, SasuNaru mainly, T_T unrequited love, and can we say that Sasuke has a serious Naruto complex???

XD One thing I'm going to change about characters is their age. I don't really see Sasuke and Naruto getting it on when they're 12. Instead, I picture them as 15 or 16 and well into puberty.

CHAPTER 1:

"Do you like me?" Sasuke asked.

Sakura could only stare at him. Around them, cherry blossoms swirled as Sasuke patiently waited for her answer.

Internally, she thought, 'Does he even need to ask? Of course I like him!"

"Yes," she declared. If this was a dream, she hoped that she never woke up and if this was someone's idea of a cosmic joke then she hoped they were ready for some ass kicking.

This made her stare more closely at Sasuke. He had better not be Naruto in disguise! Her inner Sakura make several menacing gesticulations with her fingers, none of them very polite.

But as she glanced at his obsidian eyes, she knew immediately that this could not be Naruto. Not in a million years. The Naruto she knew was flighty and energetic, like a human bouncy ball. This boy, no, man who stood in front of her was too serious to be Naruto.

This was Uchiha Sasuke, the remaining survivor of his clan tragedy and the object of her affections.

"Then go out with me," said Sasuke.

Shocked jade eyes stared back at obsidian ones. Suddenly, Sakura launched herself forward and hugged Sasuke. Now Sakura knew it was a dream, but she didn't care. She slowly pulled out of the hug and shyly pecked Sasuke on the cheek.

It was only after she pulled away that she noticed he was as stiff as a board and his eyes were staring straight forward. Sakura's eyes followed his as she turned to see what he was looking at. A thrill of triumph and victory ran through her before it was replaced by worry.

"Na…Naruto?" She hesitantly called, but he had already turned his back and began to run as if his life depended on it.

She looked back as Sasuke, but all he did was stare mutely at Naruto's disappearing back. Sakura was getting angry. Naruto was her teammate and she cared for him, but why did he always have to ruin her moments with Sasuke? Every time she was with Sasuke, it felt like Sasuke was always going Naruto this, Naruto that.

"Sasuke, forget about him, ok?" Sakura said. She noticed Sasuke start slightly and then turn towards her.

He nodded and said cryptically, "He's free."

He turned towards her and said, "Beginning tomorrow, you're my girlfriend." With that, he turned and walked away.

'Sasuke's strange', Sakura decided, 'but that's I love about him. He's mysterious,' and she liked that. Maybe it was her imagination, but his eyes seemed warmer than normal today. She couldn't wait to tell Ino-pig the good news.

She, Haruno Sakura, was the girlfriend of Uchiha Sasuke!

Sasuke's mask crumbled as he walked home. Home to his empty manor. When he saw the look on Naruto's face, he almost took back what he said and ran after Naruto to convince him that no, Sasuke did not like Sakura THAT way, and no, Sasuke was still pining away for Naruto night after night.

'Idiot,' Sasuke thought to himself. 'What makes you think he was upset with you. More likely, he was just upset that Sakura, the girl he liked was going to go out with Sasuke, his dreaded rival. He probably feels betrayed.'

A smirk twisted Sasuke's face. 'Why do you do this to yourself? Now Naruto feels even more excluded in his team, and anything that affects Naruto inadvertently affects you.'

Sasuke laughed bitterly, 'Why won't Naruto get out of my thoughts?'

That night, all he could think of as he wrapped his hand closely around his shaft was a blond boy, much too far out of his reach, the reach of an avenger.

Nearby, two shadows observed their targets from the safety of the foliage. Nothing gave their presence away, until a snake-like voice slithered forth from a beautiful young man's ruby red mouth. He addressed the silver-haired sound-nin next to him.

"Kabuto, I find this development most interesting. If Sasuke places such importance in Haruno-san, then we must welcome her to our village. Bring her to me and Sasuke will be sure to follow."

The panes on his glasses glinted as Kabuto executed a perfect bow, "I shall do as you command Orochimaru-sama"

"One more thing, Kabuto, please be gentile with Naruto. I wouldn't want to hurt a potential ally like the nine-tails," Orochimaru said as an innocent smile graced his features.

Kabuto bowed once more to his master's second body and disappeared.

Soft chuckling filled the grove where Orochimaru stood. His ultimate body was within his reach. Sasuke was perfect. He had the Blood-limit ability of the Uchiha clan, and with it, Orochimaru would be able to learn every technique ever created. Sasuke was also strong willed; he would present an exciting challenge.

More than anything however, he desired Sasuke's beautiful body; his ebony hair, graceful fingers, and porcelain skin. A long pink tongue slid out and down to caress Orochimaru's thighs. There were some distinct benefits to having a long tongue, outside of the obvious ones found on the battlefield.

Orochimaru looked foreword to the battle within the bedroom and the things he would do to and with Sasuke's body once he had it.

'You have an interesting choice of lovers, Sasuke-kun, dear. Don't think for one second I missed your lingering eyes on the nine-tails.'

A low chuckle filled the grove, followed by a groan, as his tongue finally found what it had been seeking. It wrapped around and around his pleasure center as he slowly began to lick himself to oblivion.

"I look foreword to fucking Naruto senseless with your body, Sasuke-kun."

T_T I finished Chapter 1 in the same day. Amazing.

Anooo, I felt vaguely dirty while writing the last part about Orochimaru. Who knew he could be so dirty???

Please review. =3
