Masquerade.

Chapter one: The Invitation.

Sakura's P.O.V.

I put my towel around me after I stepped out of my shower walking back from my Suite into my bedroom thats built on to it, I dry myself and my Long pink Locks then put on my underwear/ Just as I was about to pick my casual outfit I hear my name being shouted from the bottom of the spiral staircase.

"Sakura honey could you come downstairs you have post!" My Mum called me, I sighed...great. "Now coming!" I shouted back and put my white dressing gown on to cover myself, I walked downstairs and Mum waited there with a small Envelope in her perfectly manicured hands. "Thanks" I muttered as I walked away, I un sealed the Envelope and a Expensive piece of folded card was inside I pulled it out and the material was actually very soft and smooth in my hands "They must of paid about 100 okane's for a piece of paper, heh snobs" I said, I unfolded the card and the top and bottom had Dark Blue Suede Sashes aound it with 2 Bows.

My eyes scanned the paper...An invitation.

...TWO FREAKING DAYS!

Talk about short time notice!, I flung the Invitation anywhere and ran upstairs into my wardrobe...gowns..gowns..There.

My eyes scanned an appropiate dress...None, Time to put the puppy dog eyes on and hassell my Father...not that im a rich stuck up snob...Because im not.

I hurried back downstairs and into my Fathers office where he was working on his Mac Computer that the screen is like 50 inches wide. I walked up and he was typing "What is it Sakura?" He said not looking at me. "Dad, I've receieved an invitation for a Ball the whole family Me, You and Mum I mean and i've searched for an outfit and i have nothing. The occasion is Tuxedo's and formal Ball-like dresses I was wondering if you could give me some money to buy something because its in two days" "I see, what kind of dress Sakura I might send Karo with you so its appropiate..Floor length no cleveage please and Who's Occasion?"...Here we go

"Dad im nearly 20 years old I know what to and not to buy but if that will please you okay and...The Uchihas, Its their anniversary" "hmm...I will not attend" He frowned. "But Father will be grateful if we all attend..please" "Take my bank card and be gone, Do not! buy anything i will not be satisfied with Sakura" He said with an angry monotone.

I rolled my eyes and took the card "okay and thank you", I kissed him on his for head and then left for him to work in peace. I slippeed on my White converse and my Leather jacket then drove to town in my white mercedes.

I parked the car and looked in all the shops i found horrible lace like olden days frocks, I walked up the street one shop i have not been in. I finally found the perfect dress and shoes. I left happily and drove back home, I walked through the door and my dad called me...to check my dress...for Kami sake.

He checked and...approved except for the low cut back, Its Red Satin and he just about likes it. I take my Outfit upstairs and put it away safely then handed my dads card back to him, I went upstairs and picked my Blackberry Bold up.
