Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Naruto.

So here's the first chapter! I graduated high school this past Friday so CONGRATS TO ME! As well as a big fat congratulations to any other graduating members of the class of 2013! I have a whole summer ahead of me. A weekend job, a few babysitting and pet sitting jobs, helping a woman in my church who's sorta on the brink by doing her house work for her so she has less to worry about while she goes through kemo. She's in her late 60's =[ Other than those things and kickboxing (but that's for an hour 4 nights a week), I don't have much else going on. I have 18 chapters of this bitch already in the bag. I'm hoping that by the time I get to about the 10th or so chapter, the rest of this will be done. I'll be uploading one chapter every week :) Since it's timely I hope you guys will appreciate me more (not that you didn't before). Happy reading!

Sasuke was a spoiled brat. He had half the world's riches at his fingertips and he didn't even appreciate it. Everyone thought he was a spoiled brat except for his mother, who always showered him with every ounce of love and affection. But one day his father had had enough of his selfishness and decided it was high-time for him to have an attitude adjustment. His father had the perfect plan in mind as well.

"She what?" Karin asked not bothering to look up from her iPhone to express her shock.

She and Sasuke were out walking around the city. He'd promised to take her shopping that weekend. As much as Sasuke would never admit it, he found Karin fairly attractive. However, she belonged to his former friend, Suigetsu. Right when Sasuke thought about how he went back on their agreement to neither of them being allowed to date Karin, Suigetsu walked into the very store they were in. Karin was in the changing room of the store, but when she walked out she squealed and ran to Suigetsu. The two hugged while Suigetsu and Sasuke exchanged glares from over her shoulder.

"You still don't trust me further than you could throw me do you?" Suigetsu asked after Karin walked back into the dressing room.

"Not further than I could spit you" the Uchiha corrected with narrowed eyes, looking directly at the silver-haired boy.

Suigetsu sighed disappointedly before leaning up against the wall next to Sasuke before asking another question, "So what's this about your parents' idea of punishment?"

Sasuke pinched the skin between his eyes, and was about to tell Suigetsu about his family's cruel and unusual punishment, but Karin walked out of the dressing room once more shouting, "How do I look?"

"Flawless as usual" Sasuke said in an uninterested voice.

"Stunning" was Suigetsu's reply with more emotion.

"Continue" Suigetsu grunted as soon as Karin was back inside the dressing room.

"My parents are sending me to go live with my brother" Sasuke growled under his breath, trying to make sure Karin didn't hear him.

Suigetsu's eyes widened for a second before he asked yet another question, "And where the hell would that be?"

Sasuke shook his head and looked down before answering, "The United States."

"Damn…"

"Hn…"

"Karin's going to throw a fit."

"I know."

"And?"

"Don't tell her."

"You're a faggot."

"You're one to talk, you back stabbing son of a bitch."

"Coming from the man who's going to have to deal with her, yes, I am one to talk."

After the boys had spoken their quick and witty retorts, rapid-fire, with zero expression, Karin had finished shopping and the three teens were headed off toward a corner café.

"I hope you don't mind me inviting Suigetsu without telling you…" Karin nervously cooed sensing the Uchiha's extreme discomfort.

"Hn" was his only response.

Like hell he wouldn't mind. He had promised to spend time with Karin, not that thing with an arm snaked around her waist. Karin just tried to ignore the daggers the two boys were exchanging through deadly expressions. As soon as Sasuke received a text, however, he had to excuse himself and left a $20 bill on the table.

"Get home, now" was the text he received from his father.

His gut was wrenching with what he assumed to be guilt especially when he looked at Karin before he walked out the door. Suigetsu wouldn't let him get off that easy. The silver haired boy followed Sasuke down the sidewalk before yelling at him.

"Oi!" he shouted, "What the hell are you going to do about Karin? She's nothing without you!"

Sasuke turned around glaring before answering with malice, "That's why she has you, isn't it?"

Suigetsu shrugged then said, "You still owe her the courtesy of letting her know…"

"Fine" the Uchiha spat, "I will, but on my own time."

"Like hell you will" was Suigetsu's final words before he went back to having lunch with his girlfriend, Karin.

Sasuke slammed the front door shut, a clear indication that he'd arrived home, and with a bad attitude as usual. It was only moments later that a maid came down the stairs to greet him and direct him to his father's private study. Sasuke was apprehensive about turning the door knob, but eventually he heard his father on the other side of the door telling him to come in.

"Your plane leaves tonight" Fugaku informed the raven haired boy, "So I'd start packing if I were you."

"But you're not me" came the boy's saucy reply.

Fugaku pinched the skin between his eyes then said, "That attitude is exactly why we're doing this Sasuke, now go."

Sasuke let out a "che" then left the room.

He found a plane ticket in the middle of his neatly made bed. The maids were even kind enough to lay out a suitcase as well.

"They want me gone that badly, do they?..." Sasuke muttered to himself staring at everything being set up as he strode over to his walk-in closet.

He came back out moments later with his arms full of his designer jeans, brand-name shirts, and top-notch shoes. He filled his suitcase with clothes that valued up to about $3,000 total. To him, that was practically nothing. He set his packed suitcase by the door of his room and walked over to his nightstand where his phone was. It was already vibrating and the caller ID filled his heart with dread. It was Karin. He didn't know why she was calling, so he was reluctant to answer because he had his suspicions.

When he did finally answer, holding it up to his ear, he said, "Hello?"

"Sasuke what's wrong?" came Karin's shrill voice on the other line.

"What?" came the boy's confused reply.

"Suigetsu said that you needed to talk to me!"

"That bastard…" Sasuke thought to himself as he tightly clutched the phone in his hand.

"I'm not about to tell you over the phone" he mumbled.

"So I should come over?" she asked with an undertone of hopefulness in her voice.

"No" came the Uchiha's swift, but gentle answer, "Meet me at the old spot by the rec-center."

"That old place?" She asked confused, but knowing where it was none-the-less.

"Hn."

Then he hung up, freshened-up, and went down to find the limo driver. He already had his bags in the limo and a half filled backpack over his shoulder for carry-on luggage. He hopped into the limo and instructed the man to go to the old abandoned rec-center.

Much to popular belief, Sasuke wasn't always stuck-up. In his early teens (12-14 years old) he was an outcast and soon turned to gang activities in an attempt to be "accepted." He still wears the bent dog tags with his old gang's symbol on it. That's how he met Karin. She was essentially the gang's whore at the time, but left with Sasuke. The two of them became friends because of the silent respect he showed towards her. When Sasuke's parents found out about his back-alley activities they made him quit. If it ever got out that the heir to one of the biggest corporations was a gangster, then all hell would break loose in the professional, corporate world. Sasuke tried to end things on good terms, but he got a brutal farewell beating. Karin tried to stand-up for him, but she got an even worse beating than him. Sasuke managed to crawl to the chain-link fence to stand-up. He eventually regained his balance and strength and managed to carry Karin to the nearest hospital. She had several cracked ribs, internal bleeding, and a concussion. She managed to get out of the hospital after a little over two weeks. She and Sasuke had had an almost unbreakable bond ever since that day. He never promised to always be there, but he felt like it was his job anyway. An unspoken vow.

The limo driver pulled up to the abandoned rec-center before asking, "Master Sasuke, are you sure that we have time to stop here?"

Sasuke scowled blankly saying, "We have an hour."

He didn't want to waste anymore time talking to his driver, so he walked around to the back of a building to find Karin leaning up against one of the basketball poles on the old basketball court, the spot where both of them were beat to a bloody-pulp.

"I'm leaving" the Uchiha stated flatly.

Karin's eyes shot up to his in confusion before he clarified, "The county. I'm leaving the country."

"For how long?" she asked as Sasuke stepped closer to her.

He looked away from her as he said, "I don't know."

Karin's expression was one of hurt and shock. She knew his parents were easily angry and drastic people, but they weren't last-second people. She knew that Sasuke had known all along and had chosen not to tell her. She was hurt to say the least. She thought that there were no secrets between them, but she guessed she was wrong.

"Why?" She asked looking down, her hair covering her face, "Why did you keep it a secret from me? Am I that untrustworthy?"

"No" the Uchiha cut her off, "It's because I didn't want to see you upset a whole week before I left.

"Well I'm more upset now!" Karin shouted as tears flowed down her face.

"Don't do this Karin" Sasuke said slightly irritated, but drenched with guilt.

"Don't do what?" She shrieked, "Care? Cry?! Shout?! Be upset?!"

Sasuke cut her off by hugging her in a tight embrace. He wasn't one for affection, but Karin was so upset, and it was the least he could do after being such a jerk to her with the last second announcement of his departure.

"You have to come back…" she whispered as she clutched his jacket and shirt while her hands made tiny fists.

Sasuke felt bad for not giving her the answer she wanted to hear, but decided the truth is what was best, "I promise you that I'll try the best I can to come back, as soon as possible. Ok?"

Karin cried even more after hearing those words. Sasuke eventually looked at his wristwatch and noticed that he had spent more time than he should have.

"I've got to go" he told Karin as he separated from her.

He felt a pang of guilt wrench his stomach as he walked back to the limo leaving her in the middle of the abandoned basketball court, crying alone. The limo driver got Sasuke to the airport in just enough time. His plane was already boarding. Before he handed the lady behind the desk his ticket, he looked over his shoulder, secretly hoping that the redhead had followed him, like she normally did, and that she would try and stop him, beg him to stay. But when he turned around he saw no one was going to stop him, no one wanted to.

"Ok mom, I'll go get him" Itachi grumbled into the phone, "Yeah, love you too, bye."

After Itachi hung up the phone Sakura couldn't help but show her curiosity asking, "Who was that?"

Itachi scowled before saying, "That was my mother. It seems my little brother is going to be staying here for a little while. I'm going to need you to clean up the guest room for him."

Sakura nodded and stood up from the table. At that same moment, Sai appeared from the basement room and didn't even bother talking to Sakura or Itachi. He was covered in paint and had every intention of taking a shower before anything else.

"I hope you picked up your mess down there!" Itachi yelled up the stairs before waving goodbye to Sakura and heading out the front door.

Sakura's life was almost "the best of both worlds." She had the comforts of a relatively large home with air conditioning as well as expensive furnishings, nice cloths, and a family. But along with the riches she still understood the value of hard work and wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Sakura counted herself fortunate in so many ways. She and Sai were related by blood, however Itachi wasn't they're real dad. Itachi had adopted them along with his cousin Shisui. Sakura and Sai had been only five years old, both of them being fraternal twins, when they were adopted. Sakura had never known anything about her past before the orphanage. She was not even 17 years old, and determined to live her life to the best everyday. She even had a tattoo on her left shoulder blade that said "carpe diem" above a cherry blossom branch with pink cherry blossom flowers. She got it without Itachi knowing, or Shisui for that matter. Sai knew, but didn't care enough to do anything about it. His logic was that it wasn't his body, so it wasn't his problem. It was a reminder to herself about who she was and where she came from. It was her most precious secret that seemed logical to only be known by her twin.

After thinking too hard for too long, she realized that she'd already straightened up the guest room. She'd made the bed with new sheets, dusted, and vacuumed. When she smiled to herself with satisfaction, she decided it was high time she took Shenandoah out for a spin.

Sasuke stepped off the plane. He was no longer in Japan and he knew that quite well. His English was excellent, so he didn't really have anything to worry about, but he got this bad feeling in the pit of his stomach when he saw his older brother standing there with a smirk plastered on his face.

"This can't be happening…" he thought to himself walking towards Itachi.

Sasuke's brother already had the suitcase in one of his hands and the other in his jean pocket. They both silently walked to Itachi's car. Sasuke wasn't surprised to see his brother throw his suitcase into the dirty bed of the Dodge Ram truck. It was a stereotypical red with scratches and dings all over it.

"You're such a hick…" Sasuke grunted as he got into the passenger seat.

Itachi scowled before he shot back, "And you're such a spoiled city-brat."

Sasuke scoffed as he crossed his arms and glared out the window at the surrounding grasslands. There weren't even radio towers as far as he could see. There were no malls, theaters, or any sign of industrial progression. Only after twenty minutes had passed, Sasuke saw a small, upper-class suburban town. It was quaint and almost seemed like a 'miniature', non-sky-scraper version of a city. After about thirty more minutes Sasuke saw nothing but grassland again. He was getting frustrated at the lack of diverse scenery from that point on and almost felt like pulling his hair out because of the heat.

"How can you live like this?" Sasuke finally grumbled expressing his irritation an hour later.

"Foolish brother, you have such a skewed view of life" Itachi said as he pulled onto a dirt road that eventually led to the ranch house.

Sasuke had half expected a dinky log cabin, but was pleasantly surprised to find a three-story ranch-house. It was a dull tan with brown shutters. The house was definitely smaller than what Sasuke was used to, but he knew that it was better than what he had imagined it to be. Itachi went around to the back of the truck and pulled Sasuke's bag out and dropped it on the ground. Itachi just smirked as he walked towards the front porch.

"Excuse me" Sasuke growled as more of a demand for an explanation than a question, "What do you think you're doing?"

Itachi looked over his shoulder with a slight scowl as he growled, "They're your bags. Carry them yourself."

Sasuke let out a growl of his own and picked up his bags. Itachi showed him to his room and Sasuke threw his bags on the floor with a huff and signature bad temper.

"Lunch is in half an hour" Itachi informed his little brother before closing the door and leaving to go downstairs.

"So how goes it?" Shisui asked as he saw a relatively grumpy Itachi make his way down the stairs.

"Not good" Itachi replied, "He has zero respect for anyone. It's worse than what mother said."

Shisui made a cringed face as he dramatically said, "Ouch."

At that moment, Kisame walked into the room covered in sweat. He wiped his brow as he walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water.

"Wash-up for lunch!" Itachi hollered into the kitchen from the bottom of the steps earning him a grunt from the fish-faced man.

"You never were good with animals, were you?" Shisui teased causing Itachi to punch him in the shoulder.

Itachi scowled before reprimanding his cousin, "Kisame's always been my friend, and everyone here comes from a different background, so just suck it up and deal with it."

Shisui shrugged as he plodded over to the kitchen to finish up making lunch.

Once Sasuke had taken a quick shower and thrown on a pair of new cloths (expensive, as usual), he jotted down the stairs and headed towards the kitchen. He was appalled at what he found spread across the kitchen table. There was friend chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, gravy, and fried okra.

"You expect me to eat that?" Sasuke muttered pointing at the food on the table.

Shisui, who was at the stove finishing up, turned around and yelled, "Listen here you brat! You can insult this house, insult our cloths, insult our daily rituals, but you will not, you will never, insult my cooking!"

Sasuke just sweat dropped and walked out the back screen door onto the porch. He walked down a couple steps and was headed towards the barn just out of sheer curiosity. However, as soon as he was a few meters away from the doors, he heard a wild shout and thumps headed his way. It was a girl and horse covered in mud. He couldn't even tell it was a girl until she let out a wild shout of excitement he mistook for an Indian tribal call.

"You didn't…" Itachi muttered as he walked out of the barn facing Sakura.

"Oh, I did" she stated with pride.

"Did what?" Sasuke asked confused and left out.

Itachi pinched the skin on the bridge of his nose as he answered, "She went to the lake and rolled in the mud with the horse."

"What the hell?" Sasuke grumbled to himself as the girl slid off the horse.

She was riding bareback, covered in mud, like a banshee, that took skill. But Sasuke wasn't one to accept that as 'skill' since it involved something as grotesque as mud.

"Wash-up please" Itachi ordered pointing at the hose attached to the outside of the barn, irritated at the pinkette's antics.

Sakura hopped off the horse and went over to the hose and turned it on. Water shot out everywhere. Sakura took hold of it and started to rinse off Shanondoah. The mud shot off the horse and splattered right onto Sasuke and his expensive clothes. Sakura heard the discontent grunt and looked on the other side of the horse and began to laugh.

"What? Pretty boy can't stand to get a little dirty?" She teased.

Sasuke glared at her intensely as he slowly walked over and said, "I've only been here for less than an hour and I already dislike you."

Sakura returned the glare as she hissed, "The feeling's mutual, you prick."

Sasuke reached over and took hold of her wrist that held the hose as he started to spray her with the water causing the mud to wash off. He had to admit that her hair color was pretty crazy. Pink? Really? But it matched her personality: loud. Itachi stepped out of the barn and smacked his bother over the head causing him to let go of Sakura and her hand holding the hose, and rub the back of his head. Sakura ungracefully fell backwards onto the ground with an 'umph!'. Sasuke looked at the hose with slight disgust before rinsing himself off with it until his cloths clung to his chiseled body then dropped it on the ground with a displeased expression as he walked towards the house. Itachi set towels out for both of them on the porch. Taking one of the towels, Sasuke dried himself off as best as he could. He took a quick glimpse over his shoulder and saw Sakura leading her horse into the barn. He quickly stepped inside and planned on getting dressed in new cloths, again. Sasuke stepped into his room and removed his shirt and jeans. In his boxers, Sasuke searched through his suitcase for something to wear.

"I have some cloths you can borrow for the rest of the day" came Sai's generous offer as he stood in the doorway.

"No thanks" came Sasuke's blunt reply.

Sai walked into the room and continued his argument, "We still have work for the rest of the day."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes then said, "Work? Excuse me? I don't think you understand…"

"No I don't think you understand" Shisui returned the sass where he was standing in the hallway, "Everyone in this house who eats, works. End of story. Not negotiable."

The two boys walked into Sai's room then over to his dresser. Sai pulled out a pair of plain Levi jeans and a white Hanes shirt. Sasuke thanked him halfheartedly as he threw them on and the two went downstairs for lunch.

"Help yourself" Shisui said, "The plates are over there."

Sasuke clenched his teeth as he put the fried foods onto his plate. He wasn't used to a "commoner's cuisine," so to speak. The only reason why Sasuke even considered eating it is because he had nothing else. He had his phone, but he was out of the country with no service and there was no higher class dining place any-where within a 50 mile radius. Sasuke slowly lifted a bit of the fried chicken to his mouth. Itachi was carefully watching his little brother as he saw him slip the chicken into his mouth. Sasuke chewed and then swallowed and did an evaluation. He deemed it edible, and flavorful, but was a tad too rich for a lunch food. All in all he actually liked it. To say he was surprised would be an understatement, but like a true Uchiha, he didn't let it show on his face. Itachi took notice to how his brother had no more qualms about eating the home-cooked meal and went back to eating his own.

"It's already started…" Itachi thought to himself as he smirked.

Sasuke put his dishes in the sink and then tried to make his way upstairs, but Itachi stopped him saying, "You're going with Kisame to make a new barb-wired coral for the cattle in a pasture a few miles east of here."

Sasuke stopped halfway up the stairs then jogged back down with a glare and his arms crossed. Sasuke wasn't a huge fan of work, but he knew he didn't really have a say in the matter.

"Seriously?" Sasuke asked in a rude tone.

"Seriously" came Itachi's undebateable reply.

Kisame honked the horn of the truck out back by the barn, signaling Sasuke to hurry-up. As Sasuke approached the truck the girl Sasuke saw earlier came out yelling.

"I want to come too!" she shouted waving her arms like a crazed banshee.

"There's not enough room in the truck…" Sasuke muttered pinching the skin on the bridge of his nose.

Kisame gave Sasuke a toothy, mischievous grin as he said, "She can sit in your lap can't she? She's your adopted niece after all."

"Adopted doesn't mean a damn thing when you're the same age" Sasuke snarled while throwing Kisame an infamous Uchiha death glare.

The shark toothed man simply snickered as the pinkette walked up to the passenger door.

"Hop-in" Kisame invited her.

Sakura looked around the cramped cab as she asked, "Where?"

Sasuke pointed behind him as he coldly said, "The back."

"She can't sit back there!" Kisame protested, "It's full of barb-wire!"

"And that's a problem?" the Uchiha asked apathetically.

Sakura ripped open the door and sat on the Uchiha as she sneered, "This works just fine thanks" and crossed her arms.

Sasuke was reluctant to not just shove her back out of the car, but he decided to ignore her presence by glaring out the window at the countryside like it was supposed to catch on fire.

"How much longer?" Sasuke asked, growing more uncomfortable by the second for more reasons than one.

"We're here" Kisame said pointing to a metal pole about fifteen feet tall with an orange flag on it as a marker.

When Sakura opened the door Sasuke shoved her off his lap, out of the car, and onto the dirty ground. It wasn't that Sakura cared about getting dirty; it was the way Sasuke was treating her that made her angry. He was acting as if she was a servant and he owed her nothing. It was true that he had no real reason to be 'nice', but he lacked manners and common courtesy.

"What the hell is your problem!" she shrieked as Kisame walked around to the back of the truck to unload all of the tools and supplies.

"You were cutting off the circulation in my legs" he stated unemotionally as he slid out of the car.

Sakura jumped up from the ground making a fist as she yelled, "Are you calling me fat?!"

"Yes" came his shameless reply.

Sakura came at him with the full intention of slugging him right in the kisser, but she was stopped by a blue hand wrapped around her wrist.

"He truly isn't worth it" came Kisame's semi-raspy voice.

Sakura relaxed and Kisame let go. She let her arm slink back to her side, but kept the ugly expression she had plastered on her face. The Uchiha gave her a nasty look of his own.

"Listen" Kisame butted into the glaring contest, "I know that you two obviously have no intention of making up, holding hands, and singing kumbaya. But if we don't get this done by sundown, then we'll have problems grazing the cattle. So suck it up, put your big girl panties on, and both of you work together."

Sasuke gave his glare to Kisame at the 'big girl panties' reference, but Sakura just softened her face, still kept a slightly angry expression, as she nodded in compliance and agreement to Kisame's statement.

The three of them started to work on digging the holes for the posts. Sakura had surprising strength because she was able to pick-up a wooden post by herself, and she made it look easy. Sasuke just raised a brow and thought she just was putting on a believable façade. Sasuke followed behind her winding barbwire from post to post. He put three different rows and last but not least. Kisame made the gate to the coral.

Sasuke could feel his body vibrating in time with his pulse as he flopped down panting.

"Tired already?" Kisame asked cockily.

Sasuke slowly sat up with a grunt as he gave Kisame a glare. Sasuke had worked out at the gym several times. That's how he was able to have such a sculpted body, but he wasn't used to hard, manual labor. Sasuke slowly stood up and headed over to the car to step into the front seat. Sakura was in the empty bed of the truck since all the barbwire and wood posts were gone. Kisame drove as the sun set and by the time they got home it was dark. Sasuke flopped out of the truck and walked towards the house, drunk with fatigue. Sakura still had loads of energy. Good thing too because she still had to go herd the cattle into the new grazing corral. She jumped on her horse and went riding off with rope and a cowgirl hat like a yahoo.

"How the hell?…" Sasuke muttered to himself with a partially disgusted face as Sakura rode off in the dark.

Kisame smirked then asked "you mad that she works harder than you?"

"What is she even doing?" he asked in annoyance.

"She's going to put the herd in the new corral, the one we just made, duh. Why else would it need to be done today?"

Sasuke scowled at him then retorted "I've never been on a farm because it's below me."

"Well you're here now. Get over yourself." Kisame said as he trudged into the house.

Sasuke looked out into the distance. Although the pinkette's silhouette was gone, he could still hear her bizarre shouts of excitement. Knowing that he was sweaty and disgusting he headed inside to clean up. He couldn't stand feeling muddy for too long. Pansy.

After all the showers and baths were took, Shisui called everyone down for dinner. Sasuke could feel the muscles in his entire body scream out in agony at the soreness wracking through his system. He limped down the stairs to find everyone waiting for him. The only open seat was between Itachi and Sai and across from Sakura.

"Kisame gave you a work-out, I see" Itachi said jokingly as he gestured Sasuke to come sit next to him.

Sasuke was reluctant, but he eventually walked over and plopped down in the seat. He wasn't too happy during dinner, especially when the pinkette decided to make fun of him.

"You should've seen him!" she laughed, "We weren't even half way through and he looked like he was about to die!"

Sasuke glared at the pinkette as well as kicked her under the table. Sakura yelped in pain and sent the Uchiha a glare of her own. Sasuke was bopped over the head by Itachi and Sai, Sakura was bopped over the head by Kisame and Shisui.

"Behave" Itachi ordered with an icy tone that was laced with authority.

"You will not ruin my family dinner with your hoodlum behavior" Shisui added.

The rest of dinner was relatively silent. Sai bragged about a few of the paintings he'd been commissioned to do. Shisui boasted a few new recipies he'd learned, but the tension between Sasuke and Sakura was so intense that it was almost visible. The two never ceased sending each other dirty looks from across the table.

"Oh, that's right" Sai said as if he'd been enlightened, "Sakura still needs to take Sasuke to get some work cloths."

"I have cloths" Sasuke growled with a scowl.

"But you won't work in them. They're too nice." Sai added with dry sarcasm.

Sasuke let a smirk grace his lips before retorting, "Who said I wanted to work?"

"And who says you won't?" Itachi growled with finality.

"Tomorrow's Wednesday isn't it?" Kisame asked curiously.

Sakura smiled before adding "Yep! We still have 2 more months of summer vacation!"

Shisui looked over at Itachi before saying, "You've got that long to make your decision."

Sasuke looked confusedly at his older brother but didn't bother to ask what was going on. Sasuke didn't care at all. All he really wanted was to leave this godforsaken spit of land that seemed uninhibited by anyone within a 100 mile radius, trapped with rednecks.

To Be Continued…
