The Sweetest Victory
Chapter 4: Don�t Eat The Crab Dip

Sakura�s morning had started out normal enough. Get up, use
the restroom, wash face, brush teeth, change clothes. She�d gone outside to do
a few exercises and a light meditation so she wouldn�t disturb the still
sleeping forms of her loudmouthed teammate and their admittedly perverted �
though it had been more a lack of denying the accusation than actual admission,
but it was all the same to Sakura � team leader.

She�d picked a clear open area on the grounds away from the
annoying guards to begin her exercises, and she�d waved upon seeing Sasuke, who was still on what the three had lovingly named
The Butt-Crack of Dawn Shift, up on the roof. Sakura stifled a laugh, trying to
remember exactly when they�d renamed the shifts. It�d been a while, she
realized, not long after they�d become team seven, but by habit, she still
referred to them as such. What Kakashi had done � a
typical night shift � was known as The Easy Shift. Okay, so it wasn�t the most
interesting name, but it fit. You could do it and still get a decent amount of
sleep in afterward. The next one, the one Naruto had pulled,
was appropriately called The I�m a Kickass
Shinobi That Doesn�t Need No Stinkin�
Sleep Shift, and yes, Naruto had come up with the
name for that one. You could nap before and/or after, but no matter how you
swung it, you were going to feel like shit the next day. But ninja learned to
love sleep deprivation, so it didn�t really matter all that much.

Sakura cringed as she thought about the fact that tonight
would be her turn in the rotation for The I Don�t Need Sleep Shift (Sakura�s
abbreviated version) since the party was supposed to last well into The Easy
Shift. �At least we�ll be on our way home tomorrow,� she thought in
consolation. Short missions like these didn�t drain a person too much luckily.

She shook her head to clear it of thought and turned her
attention to the task she�d set out to do: her exercises. It was shortly after
she�d finished that things began to go wrong.

She was on her way back to the room to get some breakfast when
she passed Kakashi just outside the building. �Morning Sensei.�

�Sakura, there�s breakfast in the dining room if you�re
hungry. I�m on my way to relieve Sasuke before we get
started today. I want all of you to meet me on the roof in thirty minutes. Can
you tell Naruto?�

�Okay,� she replied, and with a nod, he was gone.

It only took one peek inside the crowded dining room for
Sakura to decide she�d stick with the food she�d brought with her. �I wonder if
Kakashi-sensei actually ate in there or if he just
grabbed a few muffins to munch on before we meet him on the roof.� She huffed
at the thought of an entire room full of strangers getting to see his face when
they�d known him for four years already and had yet to come close.

As she walked into their room, she realized with a sigh that
their team leader had just left her with the task of waking Naruto
up. The blond was sprawled out on his stomach, half on the floor, half on the bedroll. The cover had been kicked off. She
rolled her eyes. �Like a little kid,� she thought as she began rummaging through
her things for her protein bars. �At least he finally quit wearing that stupid
hat. Ah, there they are.�

�Hey, Naruto,� she called over to
him as she zipped her bag back up. He didn�t move.

�Come on. It�s time to get up, lazy.�

Still nothing. She sighed and
walked over next to him.

�I�ve got some raaaamen,� she
tempted as she nudged his shoulder with her foot. He mumbled something into his
pillow, turned his head the other way, and then was still once again. �I can�t
believe that one didn�t work,� she
thought in disbelief and quickly growing irritation. �Get up!� she growled and
kicked him in the side.

Well, that worked. In less than a second, Sakura found
herself shoved against the far wall with a forearm against her chest and kunai
at her throat. Naruto blinked sleepily at her for a
moment before his eyes widened in recognition. He immediately released her,
putting some distance between them.

�Oh, shit, Sakura-chan. Sorry,� he
apologized, raking a hand through his wild hair as he turned and tossed the
weapon onto his bedroll, unknowingly giving Sakura a nice view of his profile.

The curses were on the tip of her tongue, but any outrage
she might�ve been feeling at her teammate was quickly forgotten as her eyes were
drawn from his tired, apologetic face down to� Sakura�s eyes widened momentarily
before she came to her senses and quickly averted her gaze.

Being the only girl in a group that spends so much time
together, she�d become accustomed to the fact that there would inevitably be
some awkward moments for her. Like the time she�d reached into the wrong
section of her weapons pouch and hurled a tampon at Sasuke
while they were training.

Or the time someone farted in the tent and stunk it up so
bad her eyes burned. No one ever owned up to that incident, but she suspected it was Kakashi-sensei,
considering how amused he had been by the situation.

Or the fact that no amount of griping or
slaps to the back of the head seemed to be able to break Naruto�s
habit of scratching his balls in front of people. She�d become somewhat immune
to it in recent years, no longer staring and stuttering in horror, but it still
drove her up a wall!

And she wasn�t even going to think about the few times
someone forgot which sections of the bushes were designated �girls� and �boys.�

But this incident
had to be the most uncomfortable that she�d ever had the misfortune to be
involved in, Sakura decided. She could see Naruto watching
her worriedly in the peripheral; however, she was busy staring at everything in
the room but him. Her cheeks burned,
and she knew she must�ve been as red as her shirt.

�Eh, Sakura-chan?
You okay?�

�Does he not realize?� she wondered. From the way his
eyebrows were raising, he was either ignorant of the problem or didn�t know the
situation was a problem, and she
doubted he was that out of touch with
the world. �Which means I�m going to have to point it out to
him.� She groaned at the thought. I
am going to kill Kakashi-sensei next time I see him, Inner
Sakura growled.

She coughed and pointedly dropped her eyes to that which she
shouldn�t have seen this morning before dragging them back up to his face. Naruto blinked and glanced down to see what she was
freaking out about.

�Oh.�

Indeed, Inner
Sakura snorted.

�Uh, sorry. It does that, ya know. Nothing personal,� he chuckled nervously, and Sakura
was glad he at least had the sense to look embarrassed even if it wasn�t by
much. He�d yet to bother hiding the tent in his pajama pants after all.

�Well, cover it up or something!� she groaned, more than a
little flustered. He grabbed his wrist with his other hand, effectively
covering his crotch.

�Better?�

Sakura only rolled her eyes. It looked like he was grabbing
himself.

�No. Make it go away. I can�t talk to you like this.�

And now Naruto was laughing at her.
She had to resist the urge to punch him.

�I can�t right now. Unless you want me to jerk off in front of you.�
He gave her a questioning look. �I know you�re a pervert and all, but we�re on
a mission. Try to have some self control.� The grin on his face was huge. He then
had the audacity to wink at her before turning to dig some clothes out of his
bag.

�What??!!� Sakura screeched at his
back in disbelief before shaking her head. �Ugh! I�m going to go eat. Kakashi-sensei wants us to meet him on the roof in twenty
minutes. Be late and I�ll knock your teeth down your throat,� she growled, quickly
making her way out of the room lest she attack her infuriating, blond teammate.

She could hear him laughing even after the door was shut.

Sakura was halfway down the hall when she realized that
during the excitement, she�d managed to crush the protein bar in her hand.
�Great,� she groaned, glancing back toward their room. There was no way she was going back in there now. Considering
their brief conversation, she could very well imagine what he was doing right
then. Not that she wanted to, of
course. What she wanted was to eat, damn it! With a sigh, she tossed the
dilapidated bar into the trash and headed off toward the dining room.

~*~

Twenty minutes later found all four Konoha
ninja on the roof of the main building. Naruto was
carrying on as usual, and for that Sakura was thankful. It made it much easier
to pretend she hadn�t just been pressed up against a wall by a half-dressed teammate
with morning wood. She didn�t have much time to dwell on it luckily, since Kakashi was going over the mission plan one last time.

�Sakura, you�ll be inside while they set up, during the
wedding and the reception. If anyone asks, you�re a distant cousin, though it
doesn�t really matter. People know there are ninja here, but in case of the
people who don�t, you can blend the
easiest and avoid any unnecessary confrontation.�

�How much do I need to blend?�

�Dance if someone asks you to dance, just keep an eye open.�

�Do I have to?�

�Last I checked, a dance was just a dance,� Kakashi replied with a bored look. �You don�t have to agree
to everyone, but it would look rather odd for you to hide in the corner all
evening. The party is supposed to run pretty late,� he reminded them.

�I�ll patrol the front grounds, Naruto
on the roof, and Sasuke has the back. Everyone make
sure your radios are set to channel 3.�

�What about my holsters?� Sakura asked as she switched her
settings.

�Keep them. I have the feeling you won�t be out of place
with this crowd. Besides, you might need them. Are everyone�s ear pieces
working? Good,� Kakashi replied upon confirmation.

The three stood up, ready to move to their assigned
positions.

�One last thing,� the scarred ninja added, catching his
team�s attention. �I know you think this assignment is a joke, but you�d better
take it seriously. If I find out the three of you have been drinking on a
mission again, it will be in my
report to Hokage-sama.�

Sakura shot Naruto a nasty glare
out the corner of her eye, but he didn�t notice. He was too busy looking at
their team leader in confusion.

�I found the bottle,� he explained blandly.

�Idiot,� Sasuke sighed while
Sakura slapped the blond upside the head.

�That�s all,� Kakashi dismissed cheerfully
as he turned and jumped down to the grounds.

�I can�t believe you threw it away where he could find it,�
Sakura groaned.

�Hey, I didn�t expect him to go through the trash. It�s not
like I threw it on top or anything. It was in there deep! Uh, at least he was
cool with it,� Naruto shrugged.

�Just because he hasn�t promised to send us off to be
tortured by Gai-sensei, doesn�t mean he�s okay with
it.�

�It doesn�t mean we won�t be punished when we get back to Konoha either,� Sasuke added to
their female teammate�s comment before leaping down to the grounds himself.

�Yeah, well, you drank it, too, asshole,� Naruto grumbled.

�I heard that,� Sasuke�s voice
crackled through their earpieces.

�Can you see this, then?� Naruto asked,
holding up his middle finger to the figure below.

With a sigh, Sakura leaped down off the building also to get
to her position.

~*~

The rest of the morning proved to be exceptionally dull. Not
that dull was necessarily bad. In fact, she�d already had more than her fair
share of excitement for one day, thank you very much, but still, she was bored. Sakura watched as people set up
chairs, tables, and flower arrangements, sometimes arguing over what went where
and how much time was left to finish it all. Naruto�s
occasional complaints of boredom over the radio weren�t helping any either.

The wedding itself wasn�t much better. It was on the grounds
behind the main house and seemed to drag on and on and on. �Are all weddings
this long?� she wondered as she fought back a yawn, because damn.

�Hey, Sakura-chan, I see you,� a sing-song
voice buzzed into her earpiece. Apparently she wasn�t the only one needing
something to occupy her mind. She pulled a makeup compact out of her pouch and
pretended to check her hair as she looked behind her and up. She sighed when
she saw Naruto standing on the roof with a set of
binoculars pointed right at her.

�A little obvious, don�tcha
think?� she whispered, thankful she was sitting in one of the back rows away
from most of the other guests.

�Hey! I�m supposed to be obvious. You aren�t, though, so be
quiet.�

She frowned at the reprimand and tilted the mirror so it
reflected the sun directly into Naruto�s eyes. �I�m the one who gets onto him for stuff.
Not the other way around.�

�OW! That was cheap,� he pouted as he tried to blink away
the spots in his vision. �Hey, bastard, how�s your end?�

�Clear,� was Sasuke�s only response. Naruto snorted.

�Thanks, man. I can always count on you for interesting
conversation.�

�And what should I talk about? My nice
view of the trees? The back of the house? I�m
supposed to be watching for enemies, not entertaining you.�

�Excellent point,� Kakashi chimed
in.

�I can�t help it. I�m bored!�
the blond complained. �And sitting in the sun is making me sleepy.�

Sakura didn�t have to see him to know which expression was on Kakashi�s masked
face right then.

�Trade positions with Sasuke
then.�

�Hear that? The roof�s yours, man.�

�Fine. Just be quiet getting over
here,� Sasuke replied.

Sakura grinned faintly. Her teammates were keeping her entertained a little at least.

~*~

Half-way through the reception, though, Sakura found herself
wishing Naruto�s communicator would just quit
working. Apparently, the change of scenery hadn�t helped his boredom, and he�d
decided that watching her was a lot more interesting. He was currently
commenting on every male in her immediate vicinity.

�Too old. Too
young. Too ugly. Too� oh wait. That one�s not a
guy.� Sakura tried not to laugh, but dang, Naruto had
a point about that woman looking rather manly.

And then it happened.

A young man, probably in his early twenties, approached her,
offering his hand as he asked, �Would you like to dance?�

�No, Sakura-chan. Don�t do it! He just wants to get into your panties!� the
blond wailed in mock distress.

�I�d love to,� she replied with a smile and let him lead her
onto the dance floor. Sakura wasn�t entirely sure where Naruto was on the grounds, but as
soon as her companion turned his back to her, she glared angrily out the nearest
window all the same.

Too bad she hadn�t realized that was just the beginning.

�Oh, man. That hand�s a little low, don�tcha think?� It was so very
difficult not to tell him to shut the
hell up.

�Oh wait. My bad. Damn binoculars.�
She forced herself to smile to prevent herself from making any embarrassing facial
expressions at her annoying teammate�s commentary.

�Huh. Dude must be
gay, cause if that were me, I�d totally be��

�Naruto!�
Kakashi intervened once again, and Sakura almost
sighed in relief. �I�m more interested in knowing how it is you�re watching the
grounds if you�re busy watching Sakura.�

�What the hell is that guy doing?� the blond mumbled,
seemingly ignoring their team leader altogether.

�Naruto�� Kakashi
warned.

�No, not him. Hold on a sec.�

There was nothing but silence over the channel for several moments,
and Sakura wished she could see what Naruto was doing
from where she was. Luckily, the song had just ended, and she quickly excused
herself, glancing around the hall and out the windows in search of her
teammate.

�Naruto, report,� she heard Kakashi say.

�Under control. Gimme
a minute,� he responded.

Sakura sighed and snuck off to the restroom where she could
talk without giving herself away or people thinking she�d lost her mind and was
talking to herself. It was just a few moments later when Naruto�s
voice crackled into her earpiece again.

�Ha ha. One
attempt at sabotage foiled,� the blond boasted to his teammates. �Some guy was in
the kitchen about to piss in a tray of food. I left him with the guards. It was
a good thing I was checking out what was going on inside, too, huh?�

There was no response from Kakashi
or Sasuke. At least none they felt like sharing
anyway.

�It�s no assassination attempt, but I suppose that�s a good
thing.�

�Ah, Sakura-chan. Were you worried
about me?�

�Yeah, right. I was looking forward
to finishing the mission without any more of your harassment actually,� Sakura teased.

�Heh.
It�s only fair I get to pick on you a little after the way you were checking
out the goods this morning.�

Sakura gasped in disbelief, and it wasn�t until Sasuke�s flat comment of �I� really didn�t need to know
that� that she was able to shake herself out of her stupor.

�I did NOT!� she screamed in outrage.

�Jealous, Uchiha?�
Naruto chuckled. No one heard Sasuke�s
indignant snort over Sakura�s screeching.

�THERE�S NOTHING TO BE JEALOUS OF, BECAUSE I WAS NOT
CHECKING OUT ANYTHING!!� Sakura paled
and glanced nervously out the bathroom door to see if anyone had just heard her
outburst. When everyone seemed too caught up in their own business to notice
her, she slumped against the doorframe in relief.

�Children,� Kakashi calmly butted
in, �If I hear anything irrelevant to the mission over the radio again, I will
keep your portions of the pay for myself as compensation for putting up with
the three of you.�

The mumbled apologies of the teens was the last message sent
until a few hours later when Kakashi announced that
they were done for the evening.

~*~

�I�m telling you it�s a bad idea, Sasuke.
You�re taking this too far.� Naruto glanced out the
window at Sakura who was sitting on the ground, watching the stars a short
distance from the building.

�Whether you realize it or not, Sakura is a shinobi and a competent one at that. Yesterday should be
proof enough that she�s willing to keep going with the upped stakes.�

�Yeah, but this is pushing it. The worst we�ve done so far
was inappropriate. This is� kinda mean, man.�

�Our first day as team seven, Kakshi-sensei made her think I was dying,� Sasuke stated in a bored tone. �An enemy would do
that and more.�

Naruto didn�t respond as he considered it.� As much as he hated to admit it, his friend
did have a point. What was more traumatizing? Seeing teammates broken and
bloody on the battlefield or playing a little bit with one�s head?

He
nodded, ignoring the feeling that maybe he was just trying to justify what they
were going to do.

~*~

Sakura was sitting in the grass as she stared up at the
stars. She still had a few minutes left of her break before her patrol started,
and she really didn�t have anything to do. She�d already eaten, so she decided
to enjoy the peace and quiet for bit. Nevermind that she�d have about four hours of nothing but quiet to deal with soon. After a day of small talk and
dancing with strangers, she was more than happy to get away from everything.

She heard footsteps behind her and was a bit surprised to
see Sasuke when she glanced over her shoulder. He
took a seat next to her and began to pick at the grass in front of him for a
few moments before he spoke.

�I wanted to talk to you about the other day,� he stated
calmly in that smooth voice of his that seemed somewhat contradictory of his
actions.

Sakura only nodded as she began to feel the weight of the
situation. Sasuke wasn�t one to beat around the bush.
He came right out and said whatever needed to be said and was done with it,
other people�s feelings be damned. She could only wonder at what it was he
could possibly need to speak to her about that would have him so� off.

�I� we went too far. It was unfair of us to put you in that
situation. I�m sorry.�

Truly she was surprised by the admission. Judging by the
pained look on his face, it was obviously not easy for him to say. Not wanting
to make him any more uncomfortable than he already was, though, she smiled, deciding
to play it off like no big deal.

�It�s okay really,� she started with a shrug. �You play to
win. Besides, it�s not like my genjutsu wasn�t just
as bad,� she chuckled, and he grinned.

�Yeah.� Then his expression turned
serious, and Sakura once again found herself wondering what was going on in his
head.

�Is something else bothering you?� She didn�t expect him to
answer but was compelled to ask anyway. A sigh escaped his lips as he turned
toward her.

�I realized something yesterday.� He paused a moment and
stared off in the distance.

Sakura couldn�t figure out if he was just trying to find the
right words or what the deal was. She might�ve found it cute had it not set her
so ill at ease. Uchiha Sasuke,
coolest boy in the academy and self-proclaimed avenger, was not in the habit of
tripping over his words. But then again, she�d never really had a personal
conversation � as this one was appearing it might be � with him. Tactics and jutsu, yes, but anything else was locked deep within a
vault somewhere, off limits to, as far as she knew, everyone.

He took a deep breath and suddenly turned his gaze on her.
�I didn�t like the thought of you with another man.�

Surely she was unable to hide the shock from that. Her eyes
were wide, and her lips parted in wonder despite her brain�s adamant demands
that she keep her composure. It wasn�t exactly a declaration of undying
devotion, but it was a hell of a lot more than she�d ever expected to hear
spill from his lips.� Sakura could only
stare.

�If I�d known that all it took to get him to notice me that
way was to get him jealous, I�d have done it years ago,� she thought with a
melancholy, little smile. �What the hell am I supposed to say to something like
that?� she wondered. Luckily, she didn�t have to.

�I was hoping it wasn�t too late to give us a shot.� The slightly
uncomfortable smile on his face was beautiful, she thought, as the corners of
her own mouth curved up on their own accord. She unconsciously wet her lips as
her mind spun a million thoughts all at once. Her response was automatic.

�I�d like that.�

As soon as the words fell from her mouth, he was leaning in.
His face was so close she could feel his breath on her. Softly, his lips brushed
hers, and her stomach began to clench in excitement. Sakura might not have
crushed on him as she did before, but there was still that part of her that
cared for him a little more than just a teammate,� that always reacted to just being near him.

The kiss quickly deepened as she found herself trying to
release years of pent up emotion in only a few moments. Warmth began to spread
through her as her mind finally latched onto the fact that �Oh my god, I�m
really kissing Sasuke-kun!� He smelled faintly of
sweat and musk, a combination that normally sent her on a rampage about dirty
boys needing a shower, but right then, it was causing potentially embarrassing
things in her nether region. Or maybe it was just situation; she wasn�t sure. All
she knew was that her panties were getting very wet, and all he�d done was kiss
her.

Sasuke leaned into her further, urging
her to lie back onto the grass as he laid next to her
and draped one leg over hers. He kissed her with the intensity she�d always
seen in him, just never under these particular circumstances.

They broke apart breathless, but to her surprise, his lips
weren�t yet done with her. They trailed down her jaw and assaulted her neck.
Her head tilted back, giving him better access as her eyes shut, allowing her
to only focus on the sensations of Sasuke�s mouth on
the sensitive skin below her ear, his lean, muscular body pressed against hers,
his hand slowly traveling up over the bottom of her ribcage. Her eyes shot open
as her body tensed. This was not the time or the place for such things. They
were making out on a client�s front lawn!

�Sasuke-kun�� She went to nudge
his face out of her neck, and when she glanced down, she saw bright, glaring orange.
The hand on her breast squeezed as the face pulled away from her. Naruto got one last grope in before her fist connected with
his jaw, knocking him clean across the clearing.

A kai revealed her teammates,
standing in front of a nearby tree. Naruto looked
extremely uncomfortable, while Sasuke looked smug.

�I believe that one puts us ahead,� the dark-haired teen stated.

�Yeah, I guess it does,� Sakura flatly replied as she stomped
past them and continued toward the house.

�Sakura-chan,� she heard Naruto call after her.

She stopped for a second, not bothering to turn toward them as
she said, �Tell Kakashi-sensei I started my patrol
when you see him.� She then leapt up to the roof, not even waiting for a
response.

Sakura somehow managed to keep the tears at bay. �Thank
goodness for small favors,� she grumbled as she half-heartedly scanned the
grounds. �I should�ve known it wasn�t
real! I can be so stupid sometimes.�

She had to admit, though, she�d never expected the bet to go
this far, especially considering how silly the terms were. She remembered
taunting them about their weak genjutsu skills. She
had even gone so far as to say that the two of them together couldn�t beat her.

�You�re on!� they had both exclaimed.

�Alright, losers must ask out a person of the winner�s
choice.�

�Fair enough. Besides, thick-brows needs a date pretty bad.� Naruto
had proclaimed, doing his own rendition of the nice guy pose which really
looked anything but. Sasuke had smirked at the look
of horror on her face, and it had taken her a moment to think of someone who�d
invoke an equal amount of nausea in her teammates.�

�Well, he�s just going to be dateless for a while, because Anko�s going to have two new admirers.� The guys had
cringed at that one, and Sakura knew it was out of fear that she�d quite probably
accept. Anko was, after all, notorious for being the
number one female pervert in the village as well as having a few questionable
fetishes. Truth be told, most men in the village were a bit scared of her
despite her small stature and good looks. There�d been several rumors about a
certain bondage swing-type thing the woman supposedly owned.

�It�s a bet, then,� Sasuke
commented as he extended his hand. Sakura smirked as she took it, thinking
there was no way in hell these two could best her.

But as she admitted before, Sasuke
plays to win.

�Well, so do I,� she growled, determined to come up with her
next (and hopefully last) genjutsu before her shift
was over.
