If at first you don't succeed

Charpter 1: The meeting

Ok so here's another story, I still have to update Absence makes the heart grow fonder but I really liked this idea so I decided to give it a go. I'm sorry if Sasuke seems a little OOC but this is an AU fanfic so please just enjoy….oh and REVIEW!

Summary: Sakura is very content with her life and her job as Itachi's secretary but what would happen when his younger brother stalks into her little office and turn her world into an entirely different one. Will her perfect little life still be the same or will Sasuke's truths affect her world as much as his or will he set her and himself free.

Haruno Sakura is Uchiha Itachi's main woman, the one who knows just how to handle him…she was his very own personal secretary. She even had her own office in which she organized his everyday schedule including dates with his girlfriend Haruka, a woman which Sakura completely adored. Sakura love Itachi like a brother, they has established a very close personal relationship since she started working at 'UCHIHA CO. '. They were a good team and Sakura like it that way, her life seemed to be perfect right now (perfect friends, income, status, etc.), little did she know that would all change today.

Sakura had just send Itachi in one of his meetings and decided to go to her office to organize dinner with his family this afternoon. Every couple of months (like 2 months) the Uchiha family has a dinner to keep updated with their family members lives. Sakura had been with Itachi twice, the first time was when Haruka was out with her family on some family vacation that Itachi was not allowed to accompany her on and the second was when her sister was having her baby, Haruka's sister and Itachi fought to much so he decided to stay home, the family dinner is a big time for them. Well for most of these dinners that Sakura had been to it was only Itachi's mom and dad which she found strange because Itachi always told her stories about his younger brother, Sasuke. She had tried to speak to Itachi about it on numerous occasions but he dismissed it before she could even ask. Sakura quickly exited her thoughts as she began her work that was until someone rudely barged into her office. Sakura had been busy planning Itachi's schedule when she heard stomping in her office, no one dared stomp in her office and as Sakura turned to give whoever the intruder was a piece of her mind she met onyx orbs, they were staring at her. She shook her head and looked back at the brave soul, charcoal eyes, beautiful black hair like Itachi's however his face was unmarked whereas Itachi had those lines….they were similar in many ways though and Sakura just had the feeling that they were connected.

…...

Sasuke was so pissed; even after all they had done they still managed to surprise him. First his parents insult him and make it clear that they do not love him and that they only care for Itachi. Telling him wasn't enough they threw him out at age eighteen and told him he was old enough to make his own income and they then made Itachi CEO of UCHIHA CO. this Sasuke didn't mind, he actually got over it but yet they interfered in his life, trying to make him marry Karin, the red head slut and yet he got over that...but now sending his mother to break down at his company was unacceptable.

Sasuke had always had a weak spot for his mother even though his family was cruel he didn't blame his mother, for the eighteen years he did live with them she had loved him and he knew she still did, his father however had a heart of stone, one no soul could fix. And even after all Sasuke had been through he still craved for them, even after they kicked him out and he made his own successful company he missed them, they were his family after all.

This is why he had travelled to Konoha once again…to confront his anki however Sasuke seemed to have barged into the wrong office because instead of finding his manipulative brother he found a pink-haired goddess. She was beautiful, shorter than him, small, curvy and a lil feisty. Even her voice was sweet, wait she was talking…wait she was talking to him!

Sakura saw that the man infront of her looked like he was in another world, he was staring at god knows what for about five minutes now. "Excuse me sir" Sakura said politely, the man was now looking at her but yet no word came from his lips. "Um..sir…are you ok?" Sakura once again inquired, this time though she did get a response, "I'm sorry I barged into your office miss I was looking for Ita"

Sasuke saw emerald eyes narrowed at him like he said something that offended her, however it disappeared quickly and a smile formed on her cherry lips, gosh she was breathtaking and then she spoke, "Sorry, Ita is in a meeting, do you want me to give him a message for you or will you wait?" "I'll wait misss?" Sasuke replied anxiously awaiting the sexy woman to answer him. God, why was this woman affecting him so much, normally women were not his style, some were extremely beautiful but his family fucked him up for adulthood and so he never thought to even give a woman a chance he just ignored them but today something was different. From the moment he barged into her office he noticed her everything about her, it was like a list in his brain:

Her hair colour-pink

Her skin colour-ivory, hmm milky cream

Her smell- intoxicating, erotic, sexual and yet innocent

How long her hair was-perfect length right on her ass

What she was wearing-a pencil skirt which more hugs her and a mesh crop top

And in that moment Sasuke realized he wasn't just admiring this woman, he was attracted to her. This woman was different and he loved it but yet still the most important of all the questions he had in his mind didn't have an answer, what was her name?

Sakura was shocked at the man's boldness but she answered him, "Sorry sir, my name is Sakura Haruno. I am the personal secretary of Itachi Uchiha, but sir who are you?" Sakura knew she wasn't supposed to be so bold towards a potential client or investor but she couldn't help it, this man held too much mystery in his hands and like the curious cat she took the bait.

Sasuke smirked as he got what he wanted, hmm so her name is Sa-kurr-rwah, hmm I like it, it suits her, I wonder how close she is with my brother , did he poison her mind yet with his lies, Sasuke was so caught up in his thoughts he forgot Sakura had asked his name. He quickly looked at her and decided to give her the same satisfaction he experienced just a while ago, "Well Sa-kurr-rwah my name is Sasuke Uchiha."

Sakura shivered as the handsome man said her name, it made her feel unesasy especially between her legs, he had only known her for less than an hour and he was making her uncomfortable in a sexual way. Sakura was soo busy feeling uncomfortable that if took her a while to realize that he had given his name. She then replayed his sentence in her mind and her eyes became wider and wider as the hundredth of the second went by. "…yu…yu….yuo…you're…SSaassss….ssukee…Uuucchhii…..uucchhiii…hhaaa…" Sakura stumbled; it was him, the man that was a mystery to her since that one dinner and now he was here in all his marvelous glory teasing her, she was shocked she didn't know what else to say she knew there was a connection there but she never thought he would be her boss's brother.

Sasuke amused face changed to a serious one almost immediately, so he has told her something about me then…..Sakura probably thinks I'm a ruthless and despicable human being….I'm sure Itachi poisoned her mind…but why…what is she to him? Sasuke was thinking but he didn't forget to answer Sakura, "yes…I am," he told her, "What bad things have my brother said about me?" "Absolutely nothing," Sakura replied, "I think he saves the interfamily gossip for his girlfriend," she giggled, she didn't want it to seem like Sasuke was a bad person, she knew nothing about him and she stuck with that, she wouldn't be one to judge.

Sasuke was both relieved and shock at what Sakura had just revealed. He was relieved to know that Itachi didn't have a personal or sexual relationship with the blossom. He was shocked because Itachi didn't go about bashing him; he guess thinking the worst of his brother will lead to shock. Sasuke had to say he was quite enjoying Sakura's company and this conversation, however before he was able to ask her another question the door to her office swung open revealing the one person Sasuke dreaded to meet…the one person he didn't want to see…his very own big brother…Itachi Uchiha
