A Drunken Deal
Five Years Ago
"More Sake." Naruto shouted, swinging the empty bottle of sake in the air, narrowly missing Hinatas head. "This is celebration time!"
"Here, here." Roared Kiba patting Naruto on the back. Almost all Shinobi in Konoha where seated in the tiny bar at the centre of the village. They were celebrating the downfall of Akasuki at last, and Naruto as usual was at the heart of the party. The table they were at was full, Naruto was beside Hinata, who was slightly rosy in the cheeks, Hinata was beside Neji, who had his arm around TenTen. TenTen was talking to Ino, who was very drunk, Ino was beside Shikamaru who was beside Sakura and Sakura was beside Sasuke, who was 'letting go' for possibly the first time his life.
It was around two in the morning and many of the young ninja were blind drunk at this stage, most of the older Jounin had left, and the bar man was shouting at them to hurry up, and get out. Naruto was singing loudly with Ino and Kiba as Shikamaru tried to his best to silence them.
"Hey Sasuke." said Sakura slightly slurring. "What are you going to do now?"
"Hmm..." Sasuke murmured, giving the impression of thinking hard, alcohol had made Sasuke a lot more talkative than usual, and many found him comical due to his openness. Who didn't want to see the avenging, ex-murderous sociopath, turned into a giggling drunk. "I think I will go home."
"No, no silly." Giggled Sakura. "I mean your goals, are you going to settle down if you get what mean." At this Sakura tried to wiggle her eyebrows suggestively, but failed miserably.
"Hell no!" Sasuke exclaimed, waking several close by comrades who took this opportunity to exclaim profanities at him, as attempting to do so to a sober Sasuke would result in painful death. "Why would I want to get married?"
"Then what will you do about your clan?" Sasuke was silent, he brought his hand up to his chin and took a ' thinking ' pose.
"Well, I haven't given it much thought. I suppose I will have to find someone then." Sakura giggled again.
"What?" said Sasuke looking confused.
"I'm just trying to picture you with a woman, it's too funny." Sasuke pulled a face at her insult.
"Right then, how about we make a deal." He grinned with an unexpected cheekiness to it.
"Oh." Inquired Sakura, successfully raising her eyebrow this time.
"If neither of us is married, engaged or dating someone in five years time, we'll have a child together." Declared Sasuke slamming his hand on the table for emphasis.
"Okay then." Said Sakura smiling, "you're on, so when were 25 we may just have a kid."
"Mm, so then I get to, 'finish my goal'" Laughed Sasuke, taking another swig from the bottle in his hand.
"Right! How 'bout we get some of this lot home seeing as were the most 'sober' ones around." She laughed, attempting to stand but ungracefully falling back onto the seat, emitting a laugh from Sasuke.
"Maybe not." He replied smirking.
Five years later
"Sakura, get a move on." Shouted Sasuke impatiently standing outside his bathroom door.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm getting dressed now." Rushing out of the bathroom Sakura saw Sasuke looking disgruntled. "I didn't mean to impose on you like this, my showers broke."
"Its fine." He said, through gritted teeth. Slipping down the stairs Sakura left Sasuke's house, receiving some accusing looks from passer-bys as she did so. Everyone in town knew that Sasuke had nothing to do with women, so when a beautiful pink haired woman leaves his house early in the morning, they found reason to be suspicious. The truth though, is very innocent, when she woke at five this morning Sakura found that the water had been cut in her apartment block, and with no alternative she jumped into Sasuke's room announcing that she was taking a shower.
Humming, Sakura make her was to the hospital, it was a clear sunny day bringing a smile to Sakuras lips. Entering her second home she went down to her office, and pulled on her white coat, then made her way to the canteen for a cup of much deserved coffee.
Being woken from his sleep at a quarter past five in the morning by Sakura was not exactly the start Sasuke was looking for today, none the less he didn't mind having his former teammate showering in his bathroom. He got up and got breakfast, though Sakura still wasn't ready.
'Honestly how long does it take to shower?' he sighed standing outside his bathroom door.
"Sakura, get a move on." He finally said, knocking on the door. Once Sakura had left it wasn't long before Sasuke followed suit and went out to the training grounds. He saw Naruto in the distance firing kunai and getting closer he realised that Naruto was showing his son how to throw.
Many of the twenty-five year old Jounin had children, Naruto who was married to Hinata has three kids, his oldest a boy called Masa and two girls called Harue and Hatsu.
"Yo." Said Sasuke, walking up to Naruto and Masa.
"Oh Sasuke what's up, just teaching my boy how to properly throw kunai." Sasuke resisted the temptation to roll his eyes.
"Right." Said Sasuke, keeping his face impassive.
"Uncle Sasuke, can you throw kunai as good as Dad!" said Masa looking up to Sasuke in admiration. Although Sasuke despised it, children loved him, on numerous occasions he found them following him around town.
"Che, I can throw a Kunai three times better than your old man." Scoffed Sasuke receiving an awe struck expression from Masa.
"Hey." Said Naruto offended " Masa how bout you go practice I want to talk to Sasuke for a minute." After complaining for a while Masa left the two older men in peace.
"What's up?" Sasuke asked wondering about the sudden privacy.
"Oh nothing, I was just gona ask if you wanted to go to the bar tonight. Hinata's sister said she would baby sit, I'm gona invite everyone." Naruto said excitedly, Sasuke didn't comprehend his need to whisper it.
"Is there some particular reason why." Sasuke whispered mockingly.
"No, but we all haven't been out in a while." Naruto said loudly, pouting.
"I wonder why that is." Said Sasuke raising an eyebrow towards Masa.
"Making babies is a tiring job I'll have you know, and I don't know what you're on about, have you even had sex? And are you ever going to." Naruto laughed, unknowingly striking a never with Sasuke.
"Shut up." snapped Sasuke. "I'll see you tonight then."
"Yea." said Naruto, still laughing.
Sticking her key in the door Sakura entered her apartment to find Sasuke on the sofa watching her television.
"Is there a reason you're here or did you just randomly come over." Sakura smirked setting her keys in a bowl by the door.
"You wouldn't believe how easy it is to get into your apartment." He surmised casually changing the channel.
"Oh really?" She said, walking to the kitchen switching on the kettle. "I think someone breaking into my apartment is the least of my worries."
"Yes, Sakura, you look like your having a real hard time at the moment." Sasuke sarcastically remarked at her last statement.
"I'll have you know Uchiha, that the life of a medic can be very stressful." she said smirking at him, leaning on the door frame from the kitchen.
"Hai, hai, So has Naruto asked you to this thing tonight?" Sasuke said, following Sakura to the kitchen as she turned her back to him.
"Yea and I'm going, so you can't back out if that's what you were thinking."
"Damn." He grumbled, "I'll see you later then." He said sulking out of the house.
Sakura was in her room trying to pick an outfit for tonight, she felt slightly left out that she was the only single one among her friends, but enjoyed having her freedom all the same. Yet turning up to these kinds of things alone was frustrating, looking at her wardrobe she saw a short red dress that hadn't been worn in ages and pulled it out. It was a halter neck with a very low cut, exposing the curves of her breasts, and fell just above her knees. She left her shoulder length hair down, as she pulled on her heels and left her apartment.
When she entered the bar she was hit with the overwhelming heat from the amount of bodies in the room, walking round it wasn't hard to find everyone at the table, she also received a few wolf whistles on her way, which half insulted her and flattered her. One of the things she did love about being single was the attention she still got from men, all her married friends never got hit on anymore, this fact always annoyed Ino.
"Hi." She said to everyone as they all stared back in shock.
"Wow, Sakura you look hot!" Exclaimed Ino, speaking on behalf of the table, "I haven't seen that dress in ages." Sakura sat down on the only vacant seat beside Sasuke, feeling slightly nervous at all the attention she was recieving.
"Yea, I just haven't had anywhere to wear it."
"You must be planning on pulling tonight, eh?" laughed Ino with a wink.
"Ino! So what if I am." laughed Sakura with a smirk, of course she had no real intentions of ending in bed with a stranger tonight.
"That's my girl!" cheered Ino.
"First round on me." Yelled Naruto, after a few drinks everyone was tipsy and laughing, it was the first time in a long time they had all been out together like this.
"Sakura-chan." Called Ino "come up for a dance!"
"I don't think so Ino." She said, although she was tipsy she wasn't that bad.
"Don't be shy, you're the one who said she was going to pull, now let's find you a man!" Sakura looked very uncomfortable as Ino stared her down. She turned and looked at Sasuke who had been very quiet so far that night.
"Save me." She whispered to him. Sasuke smirked.
"You were the one who wanted to come here, tough."
"Jerk." She mumbled as Ino dragged her onto the floor. Even though she was reluctant at first, Sakura was beginning to enjoy the dancing, and next thing she and Ino were on the stage singing along to the karaoke machine. After much more drinking, dancing, and singing, Sakura got back to the table where Sasuke was still sitting on his own.
"For someone who didn't want to dance, you sure did a lot of it." Remarked Sasuke as Sakura attempted to glare at him.
"What's wrong Sasuke, you've been very quiet tonight." She said observing Sasuke and his almost sombre expression.
"Remember the last time we were all out together." He said, a little uncomfortable.
"Mm, it was like the best night ever." She beamed remembering it whole-heartedly.
"Do you remember the deal we made that night." Sasuke looked away from Sakura and she sobered up slightly.
"Yes, I do." She said, now understanding why he seemed so serious. It was obviously playing on his mind.
"Were twenty-five Sakura." Sasuke felt awkward, wishing he had never brought up the subject which they had avoided, but something inside him was talking about it and he couldn't stop it. Naruto's voice was ringing in his ears 'have you ever had sex? Are ever going to' he knew he was never going to find anyone, and if he wanted his clan back he had to do it now.
Similar things were running through Sakuras head as she remembered the feelings of isolation, that she was the only one who was single, the only one without a child, and then the feelings of loneliness that she got at night. The truth was that Sakura thought about that deal everyday, wondering if Sasuke was too drunk to remember, or that he wasn't serious. Even though she says she's over Sasuke, she would still willingly have his child, their child, if he asked her. Sakura was sure however that the only reason Sasuke wanted a child was to keep his bloodline going. She often wondered if she was letting herself be used, but deep down she too longed for a child.
"Right." Sakura said sharply, startling Sasuke "Come on." Sakura reached out and grabbed Sasuke's hand, and pulled him up and out of the stuffy bar.
"What are you doing?" Said Sasuke, a little scared at Sakuras actions.
"Are we making a baby tonight or not?" she giggled, still pulling him through the street. Shocked, Sasuke wasn't sure what to do, one thing he was sure of, was that he should have taken one more drink before leaving.
It wasn't long before they were at Sakuras apartment, she un-locked the door and lead Sasuke up to her room.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" said Sasuke. Sakura saw his apprehensive face and realised that she hadn't given him a reason as to why she was willing to do this.
"Sasuke, as you said, I'm twenty-five, I'm not getting any younger, so why not." She pulled him down on the bed and kissed him on the lips. He responded to her and reached round to undo the zip at the back of her dress. Tugging it slightly, it fell off her small body revealing her breasts which he slowly ran his hands over, releasing a small moan from Sakura. He was kissing her back, not really knowing what he was doing or experiencing, as this was something he had never done before. Sakura, however, was undoing the buttons on his shirt and pulled it off him, exposing his well toned chest. Sasuke almost felt that he shouldn't be enjoying this, it was purely for the good of his clan not for pleasure. He and Sakura will be nothing more than two people who happen to have a child together. Right? Perhaps for one night, they will share something that's more that platonic.
