Stuck With An Uchiha Chapter 1
"Ojou-sama. The mistress and master wish to speak with you downstairs in the living room." My emerald eyes tore their gaze away from the book I was currently reading and landed on my black haired butler.
"Is that so Ren? Is there an event happening?" I questioned, tucking my long pink hair behind my ear and I gazed at my personal butler with pure curiosity. Strange, usually Otou-sama didn't even spare me a glance much less even ask to speak with me. My Okaa-sama was rarely home due to the world trips she embarks on every month.
"I was instructed not to speak about the issue at hand. Please forgive my rudeness, Ojou-sama." Ren looked at me with apologetic silver eyes and bowed politely. My eyes softened, no matter how many times I've told him to just speak informally to me he never seems to listen
"Ren. How many times have I had to tell you not to be so formal with me? You're basically my family," I paused for a moment. "What is it that my parents want to speak to me about?" I questioned.
"My apologizes, Sakura-sama." He bowed I sweatdropped, he still ends up using the honorifics and totally avoided my question. "Please, lets not keep the Mistress & Master waiting." He gestured to the door and escorted me down the Victorian style staircase and into the castles sized living room. 17 years in this place and I still felt as though I didn't belong.
"Sakura. Sit." Otou-sama instructed with his usual monotonous voice as he gestured to the velvet sofa. "Your mother and I have been discussing your marriage and – "
"WOAH! BACK THE FU-" I stopped myself before I cussed in front of my parents. They were never fond of my rather colorful language, especially my Otou-sama.
"Young lady! What have I told you about speaking out of turn while an elder is speaking?" My Father reprimanded me loudly, I flinched. Damn he has a voice on him. My poor ears.
"Now, darling. Calm down and continue. We wouldn't want this to become a big fuss, now would we?" My mother inquired, as she smiled warmly at my father and me. I swear, she's the only reason I stay here in this hellhole with my so-called father that I despised with a passion.
"As I was saying, it has come to our attention that you are coming closer to your eighteenth birthday. And as you know, as a Haruno you shall be betrothed to someone of our choosing." My father stated, my eyes widened in pure shock.
"WHAT! I'M ONLY TURNING 18! AND YOU'RE ASKING ME TO MARRY ALREADY! WHAT IN THE HELL KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THAT! I screamed, the anger inside of me raging as my emerald eyes glared straight into his forest green ones.
"You will not use that kind of language with me, young lady! Unless you want what to your brother to happen to you." With each of the words he spoke, my anger spiked ten fold as I openly glared at the asshole I called a father. By this time I was breathing heavily trying to restrain myself from lunging towards my "father" and tearing his eyes out.
My mother rushed to my side and rubbed soothing circles on my back in a pathetic attempt to calm down. "Now, Sakura sweetie, this is family tradition. You must-" I whipped my attention to her and looked at her with disbelief. My mother, of all people would agree to this nonsense! My anger was raging as I stomped off into my room and slammed the door and crashed down on my bed and proceeded to glare at the ceiling.
A few hours later, a knock was heard from my door. I sat up from my bed and looked towards the door "Enter." I called out, as my anger decapitated and curiosity took over. Who is it? Is it mother trying to apologize and tell me it was all just a joke? My hopes were rising. The door opened to reveal Ren standing at the door holding a glass of iced tea. I inwardly scoffed at myself; I should've known Father never jokes.
"I brought up some iced tea. I thought you might be thirsty after what had happened. Are you alright?" Ren asked as he walked over to my bed and handed me the glass. I nodded in thanks and gestured him to take a seat beside me. He sat down and silver eyes clashed into my emerald eyes. I felt an emotion emitting from him. Worry?
"Yes. I'm fine now. I'm just a bit upset. I mean, how could they possibly expect me to marry at the age of 18! WHAT IS THIS MAHOGANY!" I shrieked and flailed my tiny arms around. Ren chuckled at my childish antics.
"Hunger games?" Referring to the use of my word "Mahogany".
"Aa." I grinned sheepishly and then lightly giggled at his ability to understand me so well. I smiled soflty at him.
"What?" He asked, obviously noticing my smile.
"You always seem to make me feel better. You're always there for me." I answered, leaning my head on his shoulder. He was like another older brother to me and he knew that.
"Of course. Ever since that day, I've vowed to take care of you with all my power." Ren said, patting my back. "I vowed to act as your older brother for you." He added, smiling down at me.
"Aa. Ne, Ren?" I lifted my head off his shoulder to look at him.
"Yes Sakura-sama?" He raised a dark eye color.
"Did you know about this engagement thing?" I questioned, putting him on the spot.
"Uhhhh…" Ren looked away, and that was all the answer I needed.
"You knew!" I shouted, pouting. I can't believe he didn't warn me! I could've been half my way to China my now! Grrrr.
"Well, we were all-" I cut him off.
"All? You mean everyone else knew before me too!" My eyes growing with realization. Ah! So that's why everyone seemed to eerie towards me. That damn jerk of a father had informed everyone but me. Who in the hell does that asshole think he is! …oh wait, my father that's who. I sighed, and something suddenly hit me.
"Well, nobody told me who my Fiancée was.. do you know?" I questioned, as Ren looked taken back by the sudden question. He gained his composure and proceeded to say my future husband's name.
"His name is Uchiha Sasuke."
