A/N: I apologize
for the extreme lateness of this. Computer problems just ate about two months
of my life, and then I just got distracted. Bad author! And if certain events
seem somewhat out of character, don�t freak out. I have a plan. All will be
made clear later. ~__^

Pairings: None
this chapter but eventual SasuSaku, NaruSaku, and NaruSasu and
possibly NaruSakuSasu (still deciding after the
dialogue took on a life of its own in this chapter)

Warnings: Underage
drinking and perverted teenage ponderings

The Sweetest Victory
Chapter 3: Back To Work

�This is getting out of hand,� Naruto sighed as he paced
back and forth in his friend�s living room. �I thought for sure she�d give up
after this morning.�

�I have to admit, I didn�t expect her to play so dirty,�
Sasuke chuckled.

It was such a rare noise to be heard, Naruto
couldn�t help but look over at his teammate in surprise. The bastard was actually
grinning as if the situation had caused his respect for her to go up a few
notches. It probably did, he mentally scoffed before turning his attention back
to their problem.

�How can we beat that? It was downright nasty!� The blonde
shuddered again wishing he could just dump battery acid on the part of his
brain that stored that memory.

�It�s not going to be easy. She�ll be expecting something
big. We�ll have to catch her off guard somehow. Confuse her.�

�But how? Sakura-chan�s smarter than we are.�

�Smarter than you maybe,� he snorted. �What has always been
her biggest weakness?�

Naruto froze midstep and locked
eyes with him. He knew the answer to that question, and he wasn�t sure he liked
where Sasuke was going with this.

�What exactly are you thinking of doing?�

�Surprising her and then confusing her,� he stated calmly.

~*~

7AM rolled around
rather quickly for the members of team seven. A little too early for his teammates, Sasuke noted with annoyance as he
watched the two drag themselves half-asleep and loaded down with gear to the
village gates.

�Morning, Sasuke-kun,� Sakura
managed to get out between yawns. A faint nod was his only acknowledgement that
she�d said anything. Even her current state of sleepiness wasn�t enough to keep
her from smiling this morning. He decided to take that as a bad sign.

Naruto, Sasuke
noticed, was as oblivious as always. The loudest of the trio dropped his pack
on the ground and stretched a moment before quickly sitting down next to it. His
eyes looked like they were still shut as he scratched his head and muttered,
�Stupid Sensei can�t even show up on time for missions.�

Out of the corner of his eye, Sasuke
shifted his attention back to his other teammate. She was grinning even wider. �Here
it comes,� he thought.

�What�s the matter Naruto? Didn�t
sleep well?�

For a second, the blonde looked like he wanted to jump up
and argue with her but then seemed to think better of it as he yawned. �It
could�ve been better,� he grumbled.

Sakura smiled at that, and Sasuke realized
it had been a while since he�d seen her look so utterly pleased with herself.
Thankfully, he was spared the ponderings of any more observations of his noisy
teammates when Kakashi appeared from out of nowhere
once again.

�Yo.�

�You�re late!� Naruto growled.

�Ah, yes, but only by twenty minutes,� he grinned. �Ready to go?�

The suggestion was met with only mild complaint from Naruto who was grumbling about how that extra twenty
minutes could�ve been spent in bed. Their sensei already had his orange book
out, though. �Probably to tune the idiot out,� Sasuke
assumed. �Or at least make him think he is.�

�So what�s our mission?� Sakura asked as they passed through
the gate.

�Protection, C rank,� Kakashi
started. �The son of an eastern territory daimyo near the Fire Country border is
getting married.� The teenagers stopped in their tracks.

�We�re going to a wedding?� Sakura asked in disbelief.

�Yep,� the man smiled, and Sasuke
thought Kakashi-sensei really did look entirely too
amused by the fact.

�Aww,� Naruto
groaned. �Why do we keep getting stuck with all these lame missions?�

Sasuke didn�t miss the way Sakura
cringed and glanced his direction out of the corner of
her eye.

�Well, there has been a lot of tension from the bordering
territories lately. That�s why we were hired. There�s a chance we might see some
action,� the jounin offered.

�Yeah right,� the blonde mumbled.

�Shut up, moron. At least they�re letting us out of the
village again,� Sasuke growled, unable to ignore him
any longer.

�Yeah? And who�s fault do you think
that is,� Naruto snapped back.

�Guys!� Sakura yelled, effectively
pulling their attention toward her. �Let�s just go, okay? We have a job to do.�
Suddenly she looked tired again as her eyes shifted back and forth between her
teammates.

Sasuke looked away first, huffing
in irritation as he followed Kakashi. He could hear
Sakura and Naruto whispering behind him, and although
he couldn�t really make out all of what they were saying, he could easily fill
in the gaps. It made his jaw clench painfully.

�If you�re going to talk about me, at least do it where I
can�t fucking hear,� he snarled before quickening his
pace to put some distance between them. The last thing he heard besides their
footsteps was Sakura smacking Naruto upside the head
and his irritated demand of �What did I do?�

By the time they broke for lunch, though, Naruto had long since forgotten any frustration he�d held
earlier that morning and was prattling on about how, if needed, he would save
the wedding and the bride would be so grateful that she�d kiss him in front of
everyone.

No one noticed Sasuke�s snort over
Sakura�s howling laughter.

�I think�� she began between giggles. �I think you spent way too much time with that old
pervert!�

�Who? Kakashi-sensei?�
the blonde joked.

�Oi,� Kakashi
complained as he returned from a quick trip to the bushes.

�No,� Sakura answered as she tried not to smile.

�Oh, right. He�s the middle-aged pervert,� Naruto
added with a wink. Sakura tried not to laugh, but it only lasted a second
before she snorted then started giggling again. Naruto
was grinning ear to ear, and Sasuke couldn�t help but
smirk a little himself. Kakashi,
on the other hand, did not look amused.

�I am not
middle-aged,� he said wryly, and Sakura erupted in another fit of laughter.
�Let�s go,� he sighed. �If we hurry, we can make it before sundown.�

The last leg of the trip definitely held a lighter mood. Naruto and Sakura were talking about this and that and
somehow managed, to Sasuke�s complete surprise, not
get on his nerves. In fact, he found the situation rather interesting. �At
least it keeps them occupied and out of my face.�

Until, of course, they started arguing again.

Sasuke hadn�t heard what started
it, but he didn�t miss the �Ugh, you pervert!� Sakura screeched, immediately
followed by the �I�m surprised you didn�t
go for the old lady!�

�Eww!
That�s disgusting! Why would I want some wrinkled up old hag?�

�Better than nothing,� she sneered.

�And what makes you think I�m not getting any?� the blonde
smiled as if it were obvious he was the playboy of the village or something. Sasuke rolled his eyes.

�Oh, I don�t know. Maybe because you�re you.�

An indecipherable expression flashed across Naruto�s face, but just as soon as it happened, it was
gone.

�Just because you want someone like�� he trailed off and
nodded his head toward Kakashi, causing Sakura�s eyes
to flash murderously for a moment, �Doesn�t mean everyone else does. I�ve met
quite a few girls who liked confident blondes.� He grinned widely and quirked
his eyebrows up a few times for good measure.

Sakura gave him a long, considering � and possibly skeptical
� look before allowing herself to smirk. Sasuke
wondered what she was up to.

�I never said you were bad to look at,� she commented, and
then added under her breath, �Once you get used to the orange anyway.�

�Oh yeah?� Naruto
was trying to not look surprised, to play it cool with a smirk of his own. He
only half-way succeeded.

Sasuke fought hard not to snort.
If the moron was too dense to realize she was setting him up, he saw no reason
to enlighten him.

�Yeah,� Sakura shrugged. �You just ruin it every time you
open your mouth.�

�OI!!�

~*~

As planned, the group reached their destination just before
sunset. The estate was nice, not that it surprised any of them. Anyone willing to hire a team of ninja for a wedding obviously had
some money to throw around. They were greeted at the gate by two guards
who escorted them inside what � if the elaborate decoration was any indication
� was the main house. They were instructed to wait in the foyer with one of the
guards while the other notified the daimyo of their arrival.

Naruto snorted and leaned toward Sasuke. �What�s the point? �Snot like he could stop even
Sakura-chan,� he whispered. Not surprisingly, she
elbowed him hard enough to make him double over.

A throat cleared from the doorway, and the teenagers turned
to see the guard had returned. Behind him was a garishly dressed and overweight
man who had probably more hair on his face than his head.

�Welcome. I hope your trip was a pleasant one.�

�Oh yes. It was fine,� Kakashi replied,
taking on the duty of introducing himself and his team and clearing up mission
details. The three teens stood there, listening to the exchange and decided
that, like some of the people of power who�d hired them before, the daimyo
appeared to be involved in some shady dealings.

�It explained why he hired ninja at least,� Sasuke concluded.

An invitation to dinner was made but declined on the basis
of needing to get a layout of the grounds and plan security detail, much to Sasuke�s pleasure. They were here to do a job, not
socialize with a bunch of snooty assholes, not that he couldn�t be just as
snooty an asshole, but that was beside the point.

The man nodded and ordered one of his guards to show them
around and answer any questions before scurrying off, allowing them to finally get
to work.

~*~

The three collectively sighed upon seeing the room they were
to share for the duration of their stay. It was small, and they were going to
be a little cramped. Luckily, there would be only three of them at most sleeping
at any given time as one would be on patrol. They�d be practically on top of
each other if they had to squeeze a forth bedroll in there.

�You believe that crap about only having the one room
empty?� Naruto asked as he dropped his pack on the
floor under the window.

Sasuke shrugged and began searching
the room for traps and bugging equipment. �Doesn�t matter.
It�s better for us to stay together anyway.�

�I know that!� the blonde snapped. �I�m just saying with a
place this big, I doubt having enough rooms is really a problem for him. I�m gonna be pissed if I wake up with your foot in my face or
something.�

Sasuke rolled his eyes and moved
to look out the window.�

�Tomorrow�s going to stink,� Sakura grumbled as she sat down
on her bedroll.

Sasuke�s expression told them he
agreed.

�Why do I get
stuck inside with the guests?� she complained before quickly amending. �I mean,
I know why, but still, I don�t want
to be in there by myself. At least you guys don�t have to talk to anyone.� Her
eyes widened when a particularly disturbing possibility hit her. �Oh, they
better not make me wear some horrible, overly-stuffy thing that I won�t be able to fight in if something happens!�

�It�s not like anything will happen anyway.�

Her only response to the blonde was a glare. He shrugged.

�Oh, come on. I know I�m not the only one thinking this
mission is a joke. Even if someone
tries to crash the wedding, it�d take a whole squad of upper level shinobi to take us out, so I wouldn�t worry too much about
your clothes getting in your way. Although, if they did get in the way, you
could always tear them off,� he offered giving her a once over.

Sakura�s eyes narrowed. �Naruto��

His hands went up in surrender at her warning. �Okay, okay.
Look, I can�t do anything about tomorrow, but tonight�.� Naruto
grinned mischievously as he pulled a bottle out of his bag.

Sakura blinked as she watched her teammate remove the foil
and cork. �You know, some people say bringing alcohol on a mission is a sure
sign of dependency.�

Naruto grinned when Sasuke suddenly forgot about the grounds outside their room
and turned his attention back to them.

�I didn�t bring
it,� the blonde defended. �I snuck it from the kitchen earlier. They have so
much stuff down there, they won�t miss it, and we have exactly three hours and��
He quickly looked down to check his watch. �Twenty-six minutes until Kakashi-sensei�s patrol is over.� He smiled, took a long
pull from the bottle, and passed it to Sasuke.

�So you�re going to get drunk? You patrol next, idiot,�
Sasuke scoffed before taking his own large gulp. �What is this stuff anyway?�

�Dunno, and I�m not getting drunk,
just a little buzz or something.�

�Idiot.�

The bottle was then passed to Sakura who inspected the label
before anything else. �It�s imported, probably expensive,� she noted before
taking a quick test sip. �And not that good either,� she added while making a
face. It didn�t stop her from taking another, larger drink, though.

�Listen to you. �It�s not that good.�� Naruto mimicked her
voice as best he could. �You call me
an alcoholic, but you�re the one talking like miss know-it-all drinker.� He
took another pull from the bottle and was already beginning to feel a slight
numbness spread from his throat. It was pretty good stuff, he decided, noticing
they�d barely made a dent in the bottle. �I might get a little drunk after all.�

�I didn�t mean it like that, and you know it,� Sakura
replied. �It doesn�t take experience to know if something tastes bad or not.�

Naruto shrugged and passed the bottle to Sasuke who had a
thoughtful expression on his face.

�He�s going to know. Kakashi�s
sense of smell is legendary.� He took a swig and passed it to Sakura.

�So?� Naruto shrugged.

�So, we�ll be asleep. It won�t really matter much for us. But
you don�t think he�s going to ignore the fact that you were drinking before
going on duty, do you?� Sakura added.

�It�s too late now, so why worry about it. Unless you just
have Sensei on the brain still,� the blonde chuckled.

�Not any more than you were thinking of the old lady,�
Sakura sneered. She moved to hand him the bottle but pulled it out of his reach
as soon as he went for it. She giggled and then snorted. The boys burst into
laughter at that, and Naruto quickly snatched the bottle away from her.

�Light weight,� he laughed.

�Jerk.�

�Pervert.�

Sakura sputtered at that one. �How the hell do you figure
that? It better not be about that stupid sheet, because a girl needs to know whether or not the person
next to her is naked!� She blushed then glanced at Sasuke
who appeared more amused by the situation than anything else.

�Actually, I was talking about the old woman asking for a
threesome. You did that,� he
chuckled, drinking from his pilfered bottle. �And that is why you�re a pervert.�

She rolled her eyes. �You forget the two of you are acting
as a team. If I have to get both of you, my options are kind of limited.�

Sasuke drank, then Sakura, then
Naruto again as the group fell silent. Sakura was the one to finally break it a
little while later.

�Do you really think something like that
works? I mean, I know people can
do it. I just wonder if it really is�. I don�t know� worthwhile. It seems like
one person would get overwhelmed trying to please the other two or something.�

�Whoa, you really have
thought about it,� Naruto laughed. Sakura just shrugged and took another drink.
She looked like she was feeling pretty good right then, the blonde noticed.

�Not in a �Wow, I�d like to try that� sense. I�m just
curious what the attraction is really.�

The three thought about it a moment.

�I guess it could be a little much. The person would need a
lot of stamina or be able to multi-task well so one of them wouldn�t feel left
out,� Sasuke offered much to Sakura�s surprise, if
her wide-eyed expression was any indication.

�No way, man! You just suck. If it�s
too much work, you could always get the other person to help,� Naruto added with a laugh.

�We�re speaking hypothetically, moron,� Sasuke
grumbled, looking like he regretted even joining the conversation.

�Yeah, but then you�re getting into a whole other topic
there,� Sakura commented. �Not everyone swings both ways.�

Naruto snorted. �What are you
doing, writing a book? Only you could think so much while drunk.�

�Shut up,� she complained, though the demand had no real
force behind it.

�Hey, if you�re that curious, I bet Kakashi-sensei
would loan you one of his books.�

�Ugh, no thanks,� she grimaced, holding the bottle up to the
light and shaking it. �There�s only a sip left in here.�

�Take it,� Naruto waved off as he reclined back against the
wall. �It�s probably nothing but backwash anyway.�

Sakura paused, the bottle only an inch from her lips, and
quickly set it back down on the floor. �That�s okay.�

It�s a good thing they�d run out, Naruto
decided, as he watched Sakura lie down on her side and absent-mindedly play
with her hair. She didn�t need any more.

�Hey, bastard, you bring your mouthwash?�

The dark-haired teen just raised an eyebrow.

�I was thinking that if I could smell it on you from
half-way across a room, then maybe we could use it to cover up the alcohol. What
did ya think I wanted it for?�

�With you, I can only guess,� Sasuke
snorted. �It�s in the top pouch of my pack.�

�Oh, well hey, don�t bother reaching over and grabbing it for
me or anything, ya know, since it�s right next to you
and all,� Naruto grumbled as he stepped over his
teammate�s legs to get to his bag.

�I won�t, and get your ass out of my face.�

�Hmmm?� the blonde replied innocently as he wiggled his butt
in front of him. Sakura sounded like she was choking on her laughter which only
encouraged him more.

Until, of course, a kick sent him flying across the room.
