I was the oldest in my family. Our father died when I was only six leaving my mother to provide for both me and my younger sister. Though she worked hard, her income was small and she just about scraped enough money for me to go to school and get an education.

Twelve years later, when I was eighteen I got a job as a governess at Uchiha Hall. I was to be a governess for a little boy, the son of a gentleman named Itachi Uchiha. I had absolutely no idea who he was but from what I heard, he was supposed to be very well respected.

So here I was in a carriage, riding for six hours to Uchiha Hall. I would have fallen asleep if it wasn't for the constant bumps on the road. Finally we reached. Thanking the coachman I walked towards the house. It was huge! The whole place was on a massive piece of land (it even had a forest, but that's not important).

I shook my head. "Come on Sakura." I said to myself. "You're here to teach not to be dazzled." Dragging my trunk I walked up to the door and knocked. No one came. I tried knocking harder until I realized I was actually knocking on someone's face. I stopped abruptly. "When did you appear?" I asked awkwardly. "About two seconds ago, miss." The man replied, annoyed. He looked the same age as me with blonde spiky hair. He had shocking blue eyes and... whiskers.

"Who are you?" he asked gruffly when I didn't say anything. "Oh. Um... I'm the new governess." I replied. His face cleared. "You must be Miss Sakura then! Everyone's been expecting you!" I was shocked. He had a way different attitude then when I first spoke to him. One second he was all guard-like and he next he sounded like a happy child.

He ushered me in and took my trunk from me. "I'm Naruto, miss. The stable man. Did you have a nice ride?" I grimaced remembering the bumps. "It was alright." I concluded. "A little bumpy though." Naruto chuckled. "You'll get used it. Even I did eventu–OUCH!" He collided head-first with a pillar. Silently swearing he rubbed his face. He had such a funny expression I couldn't help but laugh a bit.

"Naruto!" A lady with brown hair tied up in two buns walked up. "The Master wants to see Miss Sakura. Has she come yet?" She turned around and saw me. "Oh. You must be her. Come on, I'll take you to see the Master." Naruto got up. "What about me, Ten Ten!" he called in a pained way. "You can't just leave me here!" Ten Ten turned around. "You can tend to those horses." she called back with a sheepish grin. "You know how much they like you!"

Ten Ten took me to the living room and told me to wait there. "I'll call the master down for you. Make yourself comfortable." she said gesturing to the arm chairs by the hearth. I awkwardly sat down on the nearest chair I could find and looked around me. The place was small but handsome. There were vases of flowers and a grand crystal chandelier on the wall. It was so sparkly that I couldn't take my eyes off of it.

I heard someone clear their throat behind me. Practically jumping I turned around. A tall handsome man stood before me. His hair was a dark blue which could pass for black. To be frank, it looked like the backside of a duck. His eyes were also the same dark blue, if not slightly darker. "You must be the new governess." he said. He had a deep, husky voice that put me on edge. "And you must be Itachi Uchiha?" I asked uncertainly. He did look a bit young to be a father.

He started laughing. "Hn. I'm Sasuke Uchiha. His younger brother." My mouth formed an O shape. "I didn't know he had a brother. Where is he then?" I asked, getting a little annoyed.

"Gone."

"Gone? Where?"

"On business."

"Oh. Will I be able to see his son today or has he gone with him?"

The young Mr. Uchiha started laughing again. "Oh, Taiyo? He's here." he said between laughs. He rang a bell. Ten Ten appeared. "Yes Master?" she asked. "Bring Taiyo down. Tell him that his governess is here." Ten Ten curtsied and walked out.

I turned my attention back to the crystal chandelier. It was so beautiful! I wonder if anyone looked at it as much as I did. Mr. Uchiha cleared his throat again. I reluctantly turned back to face him. "I have to ask you a few questions." he said. "If you must, sir." I replied.

"How many years of teaching have you done?"

"Two, sir. As I said in my letter."

"Alright then, what subjects do you teach well?"

"Arithmetic, literature, french, and music, sir."

"Music? Do you play any instruments?"

"I play the piano, sir."

I was starting to get irritated. Thankfully Ten Ten appeared with a small little boy who looked exactly like his uncle, except without the duck-backside hair which wasn't navy blue, but brown. "Taiyo." Mr. Uchiha said. Taiyo looked at his uncle for a second and said, "Your hair looks like a duck's backside, uncle." I tried my hardest to suppress my laughter. Mr. Uchiha looked appalled. "Taiyo!" he said with mock sadness. "To your own dear uncle!" Taiyo just shrugged .

He turned around and saw me. "Who are you?" he asked. "She's your new governess." replied his "dear" uncle. "A governess?" Taiyo asked. Apparently he didn't know. "Yes, Ita– I mean your father wanted her to come teach you." Taiyo looked at me for one more moment and then ran screaming, "YOU CANNOT MAKE ME DO MATH!" with his arms in the air.
