The black limousine pulled up to the Haruno Estate. I yawned slightly, rubbing my eyes. The stupid party my parents forced me to go to was boring. It was the typical kind, where middle-aged adults and rich kids who come from noble families go to. Nothing served but cocktail and gourmet sandwiches. There were hardly any people my age there… Wait, actually there was this ONE guy… and these two other girls; But they didn't pay attention to me. As usual, my parents were the last to leave, in fact, they stayed up till dawn, chatting and laughing with the other socialites.

The door opened and a hand was extended to me. I graciously grabbed it and got out of the limo, my eyes struggling to stay awake. It was still around dawn, my favourite time of the day, and I was still wearing the thin pink dress. I heard my mother and my father laughing at each other, enjoying themselves like any middle-aged parents would do.

"Sakura dear, how was it hm? I'm sure it was quite up to the standards of the noble." Mother chimed.

Father chuckled. "The Kuzo Family may have risen up to the higher ranks, but they still lack the basics of a lavishing party." He added. Mother smiled cheekily at him and the two of them ventured towards the mansion door.

The driver patted my back sincerely and went to park the limo. I sighed and walked towards the door, my heels clicking on the pavement. All I wanted to do was sleep.

My eyes opened slowly as I sat up and did a cat stretch. Judging from the sun's ray, it was probably around noon. Great. I hated noon. I got out of bed and headed immediately to my bathroom. After I was done getting ready, I headed out, saying a small 'good afternoon' to my grandparents and parents.

I inhaled the clean air around my house. I was glad the Haruno mansion was on a hill a couple streets away from the main city. If anything, I preferred a clean environment. When I reached the city by car, I headed to a café, which was a daily habit of mine. I sat down far away from the people in the restaurant. My seat was near the washrooms, but there was a window draped over with a curtain very close to me where I can see the alleyway.

A waitress came and I gave her my order, as soon as she left I noticed the three people outside of the window. There was a hole in the window, and I can faintly hear what they were talking about.

"Sorry, leader's order's are clear, he wants the money before opening hours," said a tall man with his face covered. The guy in front of them looked nervous.

"Listen, I know your leader. But if you would just give me some time-" Another guy, silver haired man grabbed the guy by his collar.

"You punk, we don't have time for this. We made a deal: you would bring us the money and in return your stupid boss would get our drugs. The Akatsuki are known to make any underground business go bankrupt, you wouldn't want that would you?"

'Akatsuki? I've never heard of them.'

'Well duh, you don't associate yourself with common people.'

I held a gasp as the silver-haired man slammed the guy into the wall. Luckily for them, they were in the alleyway and nobody in the café glanced at my direction.

"We came all the way from Amegakure City to this pathetic Konohagakure shit. My buddy and I sure as hell wouldn't want to stay another minute here, so pass the bills now."

Suddenly another person came, he seemed to be associated with the guy that was almost getting beat up. He had a huge sack of what looked like money inside. The silver-haired man grinned and took it, throwing it to his partner.

"Your lucky your friend came to save you, otherwise, you would've been dead by now." The silver-haired man said, and with that they left. The waitress finally came and handed me my food. I swallowed hard, the guy who came was talking to his friend, they looked scared and I could tell they were regretting getting into this sort of business.

I stirred my coffee. The life of danger… My people did not associate themselves with this thing… But was it bad to say that… I was intrigued? That I wanted to know more about this lifestyle?

I took a bite of my food. Maybe one of my friends have been in this kind of thing before. I could try asking them… Right?

-x-

"Gangs? From what you told me those people are probably involved in the Yakuza sort of thing." Gaara answered. He's the son of the Governor in Sunagakure, which was only a few miles away from Konoha. After our fathers agreed on a business deal, me and him have been good friends, and... well... friends with benefits.

I nodded as I followed him and sat on his lap. His hands went to my waist as mine went to his hair. "But you were part of this before, weren't you?"

Gaara shook his head. "I did not align myself with any gangs, but because of my high status some of the bosses came up to me."

I stared at him. "You didn't get hurt right? None of them threatened you?"

He didn't answer as he unexpectedly kissed me. He didn't waste any time as his tongue slipped into my mouth. I gasp as he groped my ass and his kisses became deeper. He gathered me into his arms and we hit the bed. I pulled his hair and we broke the kiss.

"Answer me."

He sighed and sat up. "No I did not get hurt. Those criminal organizations know that if anything happens to me, the law would be against them."

He tried to kiss me again but I dodged his mouth. "I better get going, mother wants me to go with her to see her new friend, apparently it's an Uchiha." I said, getting up to leave. He didn't say a word as I left his room.

I arrived at my house 10 minutes later. Mother was already waiting in the living room, dressed up in her casual rich clothes.

"Sakura, there you are! We're going to be late, hurry up and get ready!" She ordered. Sighing, I made my way up towards the long and fancy stairs and into my room. Since it was just a small get together, I made sure to wear something fancy and girly. Mother doesn't like it when I wear jeans to her meetings. As I headed downstairs the maid told me my mother was waiting outside in the limo. I headed out the doors and got inside the limousine, she gave me a quick peck on the cheeks and the driver headed towards the Uchiha Estate.

Inside the car mother smiled at me. "I heard Uchiha-san has two handsome sons. I wonder if you guys will get along?" She pondered. I faked a smile, even though I knew it was wrong. Mother always had this kind, optimistic energy around her... While I was just a rich girl trapped in a high society with a rude attitude... At least in my opinion. Many of the adults I meet say I'm a polite and sweet girl.

"You know, I'm kind of nervous. Uchiha-san comes from the powerful and prestigious Uchiha Clan, do you think she's just meeting me just to be nice?" She asked me.

I looked at her, and I could tell she wanted my advice. "Well..." I began. "I suggest that you stay away from being fake. I know you have a reputation as a social butterfly, so your always saying nice things. If you flatter and suger coat Uchiha-san too much, she'll probably get the impression your just those typical socialites." I stated. Mother smiled at me.

"I'm so proud to have a honest and intelligent daughter." She complimented me. "Very well then! No faking!"

I was probably a hypocrite for saying that.

I looked out the window as the limo stopped driving. The driver said that we were at the Estate already. As the door opened, me and mother stepped out. Even though I was use to seeing huge mansions, the Uchiha Mansion was beyond standard wealth.

The gates were long and huge, the grass green and finely trimmed. There was one very huge mansion in the middle with a fountain in front of it. To the left of the main mansion was another mansion, probably for the other family members of the Uchiha Clan. A similar mansion was on the right of the main one, which I assume was for the rest of the clan members. Mother smiled. "They are one of the richest families in all of Japan, they're even richer than the Haruno and Kuzo Family combine. What a feat, hm?"

I nodded, agreeing with her. Very soon a person came towards us. It was a butler, and he motioned us to follow him inside the Estate. It was quite a long walk, and I was glad that I got use to wearing heels for long periods of time. Finally which seemed like forever, we arrived in the front. We walked up the steps and the butler opened the huge door, leading us inside the mansion.

My eyes widened in surprise. Do I even need to mention how much better it looked inside? The floors and walls were made out of marble. The walls were painted gold and the floor was spotless. The butler told us to go into the living room, where Uchiha-san was waiting for us. Following my mother, I admired the paintings and the finely furnish decor.

"Uchiha-san!" Mother's voice ranged. My eyes shifted to see a black-bluish hair lady with delicate face features. She was quite short, but it was obvious that I was shorter than her by one inch without my heels. The two ladies hugged each other as they exchanged greetings. Taking initiative I walked over to the lady and smiled.f

"Hello Uchiha-san, my name is Sakura Haruno, heiress and daughter to the Haruno Family." I said, trying hard to sound nice. Uchiha-san gave me a smile in return and she scanned me from top to bottom, which was kind of awkward. Her smile grew when she finished, as if I had her approval. "I've heard the Haruno Heiress was beautiful, but up close she's beyond gorgeous!" She breathed out.

I can tell mother was jumping for joy inside, but something wrong was nagging inside of me. 'I'm not THAT gorgeous, I've seen way prettier girls before.'

'But none of them can pull of the pink hair and green eyes.' Inner said. Smiling once again, I said a thank you to Uchiha-san.

"The two of you guys can just call me Mikoto. If we're going to be friends, we can at least drop the formality." Mikoto said.

Finally I found a down-to-earth socialite; then again, she had a different air around her compare to the other rich women. "Well then, let's go to the living room and talk, Sayuri-chan." Mikoto said. Mother nodded and the two of them walked into the living room.

I stood there. Where was I suppose to go? Well, if I go with my mother and Mikoto, I would have to endure hours of gossiping, chatting and money business, which I sighed at. I couldn't walk around the mansion, it was bigger than mine and I would easily get lost.

"Who are you?"

That voice... Smooth, deep, rich. Whoever he was, he must be a major hottie. Turning around, my eyes widened for a fraction of a second. Quickly digesting him, he had spiky black hair, pale skin, black eyes, about 6'1 in height, lean build, and he was wearing brand clothes. Typical rich boy. I held in a laugh as he was also observing my appearance.

"Sakura Haruno. My mother and I came to visit your mother, but they kind of ventured off..."

He stuffed his hands into his pockets. "So what, I'm suppose to be a tour guide for the Haruno girl?" He said rudely.

"Not that I mind, but if you hadn't shown up, maybe you wouldn't be in this situation." I replied. I've never been this feisty before, but maybe that was because this guy had an air around him that yelled 'COCKINESS.'

"You aren't here to get inside my pants right?"

I sweat dropped. "I could careless." I replied, crossing my arms, I have Gaara for that anyways. But from his looks and attitude, I guess he's always getting glomped by fan girls.

"Hn. Follow me."

'Well done outer-me, if you keep this up, maybe you'll get more than you asked for.'

'Pervert.'

I faked a smile as he passed me, and in return he gave me a smirk. As we headed down to the left wing of the mansion, I took the time to scan the decor. Their furniture's were made out of the highest quality wood you could possibly imagine. Every single spot was clean and I assume the maids do a good job of cleaning. All of a sudden I saw something black and red out of the corner of my eye. Rushing to the window, I looked outside to see two tall men talking to each other.

'Wait a second... Those clothes...'

It hit me.

'Those people had the same clothing as the ones from the café! They must be in the Akatsuki! But... what are they doing here in the Estate?' I thought. One of them had black hair, but his back was facing me. The other one looked around 7 foot in height and had a bluish skin tone to him. I heard Sasuke sigh. "What are you doing? Is there something I should see?" He asked. I pointed to the two men outside. Walking towards me, I saw his eyelids close halfway.

"Damn Itachi."

"Itachi?"

"Forget it. Let's go."

I had no choice but to follow him. As much as I wanted to know more about the Akatsuki, that goal would have to wait until I get home or so. I looked out the window again, but I felt my insides drop when the black-haired man was staring at me.

He was even more gorgeous than Sasuke.
