A/N: I know this is a new story. I just found my USB stick so i'll be updating my other ones soon. Enjoy

I remember as a little girl I used to play with my best friend Sasuke Uchiha. Our favorite game was hide and seek. But, now that we are 18 things are different. He is a prince and me just the daughter of a wealthy merchant. I am to marry Lee and stay there. I love Sasuke, but i'm not sure about his feelings. I wake up today and things happen that I didn't expect.

Sakura woke up in her perfectly huge room. She washed up and dressed herself for another day of wedding arrangements. She walked down the hall and heard moans. She poked open the closet door to see Ino and Itachi making out.She closed it. That meant Sasuke was here. She went downstairs and wandered into the garden of Sakura trees. Her kimono was so beautiful and it shined in the sun. Sasuke tapped her shoulder.

"Sasuke-kun?" He half smiled.

"Follow me." She slowly nodded and he grabbed her arm leading her all the way upstairs. He closed the door and she peered out the window.

"Why have you brought me up-." Her words were met with a passionate kiss. He cupped her face with both hands and her eyes were shot open. His lips moved on hers skillfully and his tongue dominated. She broke away and wiped her mouth. She was mad, but blushing.

"What do you think you're doing?" He looked at her surprised. He sort of shrugged.

"Goodbye, Sasuke." She stormed downstairs. She bumped into Ino and Itachi whom were leaving. Ino stayed with the Uchiha's since her parents died. In that time she and Itachi have gotten to know each other.

Lee ran up to Sakura. He kissed her hand.

"My beautiful, cherry blossom." She smiled and saw Sasuke coming upstairs.

"Oh, dearest Lee. May we take this conversation in the garden."

"Oh no. I was just leaving, i'm going to look at some flowers for your bouquet." She nodded and he kissed her on the forehead.

That was the thing with Lee he was to busy trying to make her happy that he didn't spend anytime with her. She knew Lee loved her, but his parents just approved of the marriage so she could be a trophy wife. Sakura was stopped by a maid.

"Miss Sakura, your mother requests that you come to the tea parlor." Sakura nodded and elegantly walked downstairs. She walked into the parlor and briefly bowed. Her mother sat promptly on the mat. She signaled for Sakura to do the same. She poured Sakura a cup and Sakura nodded.

"Sakura, I'm very disappointed in you," she spoke low and soft. She set her cup down and glanced at Sakura.

"Do you know why?" Sakura looked down.

"It seems I saw you and Sasuke sneaking into the tower." she sipped her tea again.

"He said he wanted to talk with me mother," said Sakura. Her mother set down the cup again and gently touched her kimono.

" Sasuke and his brother are different. They may be filthy rich. but they have a lot of girls and taint their reputations. Do you really think he would bring my beautiful daughter to a secluded area just to talk?" She gave Sakura a sharp glance.

"No mother, I won't follow him again." Sakura stirred her tea. Her eyes where heavy with tears.

"You must learn Sakura...that he's not after you for marriage. Just to say he deflowered you. Now, make sure that doesn't happen or there will be consequences to bare." She picked up her cup and stared at Sakura.

"Did you hear me Sakura," she asked with a hint of annoyance.

"Yes, mother."

"Make sure that you keep your innocence for Lee, your future husband. I will have to tell Fugaku to keep Sasuke away for a while."

Sakura's head shot up, tears strolling down her cheeks. "Mother, please! He's my friend!" Her mother slammed down the cup and smacked her across the face. Sakura's cheek was burning and red. Her mother grabbed her face and forced her face towards hers.

"You listen to me Sakura! You will not ruin this deal. When your father died we were left with nothing but debts. Our name is the only card we have to play. Imagine what would happen to us if you don't marry Lee. We'll have to move to Kyoto. We'll have to work as maids cleaning a Geisha's barracks. Then again you're are pretty enough to be a Geisha, but how would we get you in an okiya. The future is nearing ever day sweetheart. You must remember your innocence is our life."

She softly released Sakura and wiped the tears from her face. "I love you, but if that means ripping your true love out of your grasp...I'll do it with pleasure." She left the room.
