Chapter 1 - Uchiha, Haruno, Yamanaka.
Sasuke glanced at his private office's door when it suddenly opened. Sai entered the room. And by the look on his brother's face, he didn't have to ask what he was doing there during time of work.
"Bored again?" he asked. He didn't bother to move away from the floor to ceiling glass panel where he was standing. Sai lazily sat on his swivel chair and slumped his feet on his mahogany desk while draping his arms on his head.
"Aren't you?"
"Unlike you, I don't usually disappear from my company. When your employees finds out that you've ditched them again, UTrans would definitely be a mess again."
UTrans is a shortcut for Uchiha Transportation, which is managed by Sai, is one of the Uchiha Family's biggest companies. It produces one of the best transportation in Japan. May it be a car, a truck, a plane, a chopper, heck, even a bicycle. While he, manages their chain of hotels and resorts. And from being rated as a 5 star, he managed to raise it to a six, which is saying a lot, considering he's only been CEO for 6 months. A big boost to his already large male ego. And then there's the older male Uchiha that should not be forgotten. Itachi, together with his two brothers but mostly him, established SIS builders out of boredom, which eventually grew and became the top construction firm in the country. SIS builders became their refuge whenever they get sick and tired of whatever commotion is happening in the business that they both handle.
But then due to them handling large companies, they never really get to stay in one place for a long time, which was okay since they get bored easily and they love flying. Having to use their choppers to travel from one place to another gets them really refreshed. And having mastered the art of manipulation, it's fairly easy for them to deal with their clients.
"Yeah, well, they're smart people, they know what to do already. And besides, I'm not one to leave something partially done." He noticed his brother looking at something or someone. He smirked. 'That'll be a first if it was the case.' He thought.
"Hey, why are you there?" Sasuke looked at the coffee shops below before answering,
"The view's nice."
"The view in front of you is nice, not the view below. There are only coffee shops below this building."
"Hn." He smirked and continued watching the happenings outside his empire. He has been to the said coffee shops before but their coffees didn't suit the taste he was looking for. He wasn't complaining though, he liked the interior and the ambiance, very relaxing and he also liked one particular regular customer. His smirked broadened when he spotted said regular customer.
"Sasuke, let's spar!"
"I'm not in the mood for—" as the said man turned his attention from staring below to his brother, he was almost hit by Sai's incoming punch, good thing his reflexes were fast enough to dodge the attack. He was able to hold Sai's arm, the one Sai used to try to punch Sasuke.
"What are you looking at anyway? A girl? Let me see." Sai pried. Sasuke still holding his arm, he threw him across from where he was, Sai was able to do a back flip though before he falls to the floor. Probably not wanting his brother to see what he was looking at. 'Sai's unusually talkative today, wonder what happened at UTrans…' was Sasuke's last thought before he and Sai engaged in a sparring session.
Sai had a hunch that his brother was indeed looking at a girl that's why his lips formed a very wide smile and his obsidian eyes twinkling with amusement. He readied himself for another attack to his brother.
"Hn. I'll get to see her, brother."
"Hn." Sasuke removed his tie and adjusted his long-sleeved polo shirt. He kicked his swivel chair towards Sai. Sai kicked the chair aside and ran towards Sasuke then jumped to give him a flying kick but Sasuke easily read his move and dodged the kick with his hands. He tried to give Sai a hard punch to his chest but said man dodged and so he only stumbled backwards due to impact. To make it short, when the brothers finished their sparring session; Sasuke's wide and elegantly decorated office looked like a place where all natural disasters had just took place. Everything was broken and into pieces.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Come in."
"Ano, excuse me Uchiha-sama but…Oh—" His secretary stopped mid-sentence. Shock was written all over her face. She was fidgeting. Contemplating whether to apologize and leave or to continue what she was going to say.
"What do you need?" Sasuke was on defense mode while Sai was pushing off the cabinet door off him. The secretary snapped out of her thoughts and immediately went over to where Sasuke was.
"These are all the documents for tomorrow, your approval and signature is the only thing needed, Uchiha-sama." He read the papers and signed them. "Ano, Uchiha-sama, should I call the repair team?"
"No need. I'll do it later."
"Hai." When she got out of the messy office, Sasuke turned to look for Sai but he wasn't where he was moments ago. He was now standing beside the glass panel looking for the said 'girl'. Sai turned to look at Sasuke while dusting off shards of glass and porcelain off his slacks and polo.
"The hell, Sasuke. I just wanted to see the girl who got your attention. You just had to ruin my outfit."
"She failed to get my attention." Sai looked back at him. Then he smirked that annoying smirk of his when he knows he got his brother to say something he shouldn't. Damn!
"So it really is a woman." He took out his phone from his pocket and called up someone. "Okaa-sama, Sasuke's in love."
Said man picked up a piece of ceramic and threw it at Sai's direction. He ducked to avoid the piece of ceramic coming his way and raised his free hand.
"Kidding." Said Sai. But before he turned his phone off, he spoke to the person on the other line, "Okaa-sama, goodbye for now, Sasuke's mad already. You and Otou-sama take care." He always was the sweetest son.
Sasuke sighed. He can't do anything now, their beloved mother knows already, he'll let it slip just this time and explain to her that it was a misunderstanding before she gets too excited and arrange his marriage which won't happen in the near future.
"Baka. Why don't you spare me for now and go back to UTrans already? It's 3 o'clock."
"Yeah, yeah."
He was about to walk back to his table which miraculously is still alive and scratch free to where the telephone was when he tripped over something in front of him. He cursed loudly when he landed on the floor. His stupid brother was mocking him.
"So, otouto, how many frogs did you catch?"
"…Shut up."

Haruno Sakura cursed loudly when something dropped into her coffee from above. It looked like a broken piece of ceramic. She really was having a bad day. She looked up, trying to see with her calculating emerald orbs who was a possible suspect that threw that piece of ceramic into her drink.
"Stupid person who threw that. I wish whomever that was trip and fall. Hard." She was fuming.
"Why don't you chill, Forehead? Your hair's getting…pinkier by the minute. And you're getting coffee stains on my white shirt." Sakura glared at her blonde friend and kept on ranting about how all the efforts of those people who made her coffee go to waste. She considers herself a practical person. Although sometimes it gets exaggerated, like what's happening right now.
Ino sighed. Her friend can really be a drama queen if she wanted to. "Then why don't you sue the person who ruined the coffee made by all the people of this world?"
"Maybe I will." Sakura huffed then glanced toward her friend and furrowed her eyebrows. Ino's platinum-blonde hair was tied messily and she's wearing these fake glasses of hers, which hides her pretty sapphire eyes.
"Hey, Ino-pig. Why is it that when I look at you my head starts to ache?" Her friend was really beautiful but she couldn't quite comprehend why she's disguised herself. And she's even a celebrity model for heaven's sake!
"That's my charm." was all Ino's reply.
"No, really, why'd make yourself look…" Sakura trailed off thinking of a proper adjective to describe her best friend.
"Well, because first, I don't like the paparazzi following my every moves. It's really annoying when you get the hang of it. And second, there's the stare people give you. Envious glares give a boost to my confidence, really, but the lust-filled stares I'd rather not want to have. So yeah, that's basically it."
"Wow, Ino, you surprised me, you're not too conceited after all." Sakura was laughing at her friend who threw a crumpled piece of paper at her. She glanced at her Rolex wristwatch and noted that it was already time to go back to work.
"I have to go back to the hospital. It's already past my lunch break. My dad will go ballistic again if he doesn't find me at my desk. See ya, later!" Ino waved at her pink-haired friend and watched as she disappeared in the crowd. She turned her attention back to her laptop and checked her schedule for her next shoot. The location caught her attention.
'Konoha Riding Club… this should be interesting.' She thought before fixing her things to go back to her agency.
TBC. :)
Boring chapter. :| I know. I'm sorry. But the next would be better. Really.
Oh, and before anything else, credit for this first chapter goes to Miss Sonia Francesca because it's not really my plot but hers. :) Well, some parts of this chapter. :) Purely inspired by her work.
So, please tell me what you think. Don't be too harsh, though. (: R&R.
