Chapter 1

Nana's POV

Hey, my name is Namikaze Natsumi; this is the story of my life, well parts of it anyway. If you're wondering what is it that makes my life worth telling a story for, I'll tell you. It all stated on my 16th birthday…

"Natsumi, my dearest daughter, I would like you to meet your new fiancée. I'm sure you both have met before so I don't need to introduce you to him. You will be wed after you turn 21." Minato said.

I stood there, gob smacked, I couldn't even believe my dad just said that. Before I knew it, a man walked through the doors, completely emotionless to what dad just said. Oh boy, if I thought I was speechless at dad's little announcement, this had my jaw drop to the floor. Ho-ly Shit. It washim, the man I used to have a crush on and later on ended up disliking coughHATEcough. The one and only, Mr. I-think-I'm-sex-on-legs (as Sakura named him to be), Uchiha Sasuke himself.

Ok, if you are all wondering what has made me dislike him so much after having the biggest crush on him, I'll tell you. He is a cold-blooded asshole. That's right; he is an emotionless teme (as my older brother, Naruto, nicknamed him). No matter how nice or polite one tries to be with this prick, he acts like an emotionless robot that seems to have a ten foot pole shoved up his ass. Also, considering the fact that my best friend, Sakura, was completely obsessed with this man, she established a 'We Love Sasuke-kun' fan club and appointed herself as the president, FORCING me to be her VP. Good God, those were the worst two years of my life, she was 13, I was 9, she was stupidly obsessed with him and I just plainly wanted to learn business by practice. Oh and did I mention that by the time this number one fan club arose I already detested this ass wipe?! Although I must admit the man can earn you good money just by selling merchandise with his face on it. Hmm… that was the only reason I stayed VP of this ridiculously insane club. Of course now Sakura is my sister-in-law and has been married to my brother for 6 months now. Oh I almost forgot, my brother is four years older than me, and the ice-man is FIVE years older than me. Ok, on with the story now…

"Ok, dad. As funny as this may be for you, this is by far the worst prank you've ever pulled." I tried to calmly state.

"This is no joke Nat-chan. I'm very serious about this." Dad replied seriously.

"What's the catch then?"

"What are you talking about honey?" Dad questioned.

"What did you do to make him agree to this stupid arrangement?" I argued.

"My family needs the money, your father agreed on lending me and my family some of your inheritance." Sasuke butted in.

"Dad, is that true?" I replied, trying not to lose my temper.

"I just wanted you to be happy honey."

"So you're willing to sell me like some prostitute to this asshole. You know what, even prostitutes are the ones that receive the money. Oh my God, I'm even lower than a hooker. You're PAYING him to take me. HOW is that making me happy dad?" I half-shouted.

"…"

"You know what dad, don't bother answering that. I HATE YOU!! How can you do this to me?" I screamed at dad. "And you, Sasuke, how can you agree to this for money?" I turned to Sasuke, giving him a death-glare that can easily match his hands down. "Screw you both!! I will never forgive you for this dad." I calmed myself down and walked out of the room leaving them both to stare at the slammed door.

I ran towards my room and started to stuff clothes and other things into a suitcase. Tears started to roll down my cheeks. I was angry, I was devastated, I wanted to leave this place for good. I went to the safe hidden in my closet and grabbed my passport and stash of cash I've been saving up since I was 7. I started to walk, more like jog towards the front door of the Namikaze Manor.

"TANAKA-JI!! GET THE CAR OUT NOW!!" I screamed so my chauffer could hear me.

I walked out the front door and started walking faster towards the car, when a hand grabbed my wrist. I turn back, and see the person who is at the top of my hate list, Sasuke.

"LET GO OF ME!" I shouted.

"No" he simply stated.

"You have 3 seconds to let go of my wrist before I break your arm."

"…"

"1"

"Don't be so immature"

"2"

"…"

"3" and with that, I grabbed his wrist with the same arm he locked me in and twisted it so now his arm was in an unnatural twisted position. I hastily dropped the suitcase to the ground and using my other arm I did a typical karate-style chop and the only thing that could be heard was the sound of a bone snapping.

"SHIT!!" he dropped to his knees on the ground clutching his now swollen and broken arm.

"I warned you" I turned away from him, grabbed my suitcase and chucked it in the trunk of the car. "Tanaka-ji, I'm driving." I got in the car on the driver's side as my chauffer moved to the passenger seat without a word.

I put the car in gear and floored the accelerator pedal. Thank God Tanaka-ji chose my best drift car. He must have known that I needed to run away. Without looking back I drove away from the manor and headed towards the airport. I stopped a few blocks from the airport so Tanaka-ji couldn't tell anyone where I was. I got out of the car, took out my luggage and asked him to drive away. He reluctantly agreed and told me to be careful. He got in the driver's seat and drove away. I stood there as I watched him drive off; as soon as he was gone I started to walk towards the airport as fast as I could. I reached the international terminal of the airport and I bought a one-way ticket to Boston, why go there you ask? Because it has always been a secret dream of mine to attend Harvard. Secret as in no one and I mean NO ONE, not even my brother knows about it, and he is the closest person to me. I asked the lady at the counter to make sure that no one in the entire airport or the airline knows where I was going if someone asked. Being the daughter of one of the most powerful families in Japan actually pays off, and since my family is in charge of the government co-ops, police, marine, army and so on, I had the power to make sure no one knew where I was going and that I was even in the airport in the first place.

I boarded the plane and never looked back. I was ready to leave my past behind me and start a new life far away from this mess. I had enough money to last me a year from We-Love-Sasuke-Kun merchandise sales, did I mention we made 100,000 (not Yen, but cold hard US dollar cash), and since I was the one that took care of most of the arrangements and so on, the club members let me keep half of it. I also took half of my so-called pocket money every time and saved it myself. However, it is definitely not going to last very long and considering the fact that the school fees are super expensive, I'll have to apply for a full scholarship and get a job somewhere in the city. Hmm…. I continued to plan out my new life for a few hours before I doze off for the rest of the plane trip. Might I add it was not exactly the most pleasant plane trips in my lifetime. I was in coach because they ran out of space in first and business class. Ok this made me realise how privileged I had been in life. For once in my life I actually felt appreciation for the life I once had. I knew it was going to be rough for the next few years or until I manage to sort out my life. Anyway, around 17 hours later the plane finally landed. I grabbed my suitcase and took a taxi to the university straight away.

I was in the dean's office now, requesting an interview and applied for a scholarship. They made me do a few tests that day. The first of which was the SAT's. They then asked me what majors I was interested in. I told them I wanted to do law, medicine or business, depending on which one I was able to get into. I loved these majors all equally with a fiery burning passion similar to Gai and Lee's power of youth crap. So they made me do more entry exams on that day which were the LSAT's, MCAT's and a business exam I don't know the name of. Thank God for private tutors from the best university in Japan, the best in their fields in medicine, law AND business. They practically taught me everything they learnt in lectures and labs. They even made me do exams and such so I was used to doing these exams. Thus I had to do all four exams on the same day, I was ready since God knows when. The academic deans told me to stay in touch with them and the marking and evaluation would take a few days. I bid them goodbye, left them my email since I still don't have an address or a phone number. I got into another taxi and started to look for a temporary place to stay in the city while I went in search of a part-time job.

I went out of the taxi and started to walk down the streets. I stopped at a photo studio which had an advertisement for a female model. I thought what the heck, why not try out. I went into the studio and I couldn't believe my eyes. He was the last person I expected to see, especially here and now.

"I-Itachi?!"

Uchiha Itachi, current age: 23, status: ran away from home, just like me, but for a different reason. He took the rest of the money the Uchiha family had left and ran away from home leaving his mother and younger brother Sasuke to try and make a living from no starting capital. He ran away a few days after his father's funeral. I guess I should hate the man since he is, without his knowledge, the reason I'm in this mess with the whole betrothal and running away thing. However, he's always been like a big brother to me and my own nii-san. Anyway, back to reality…

"Nana? What are you doing here?"

"I-I saw the advertisement at the front door… a-and I need to get a part-time job to survive living here… without my dad's funding…" I replied, mumbling the last part quietly.

"Don't tell me you ran away from home?"

"Well…. In a sense… I guess so.."

"Hmm… so you're telling me that you left without your dad's consent and came here undetected?"

"How do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Interpret the full meaning of my words even though what I say is not even close to the real meaning?"

"Hn. I've known you for a long time. I'm just that gifted."

I made a disgusted face at him. "Eww, I think I'm gonna hurl."

2 days later

I've signed on as one of Itachi's company's model. I must say he has made it quite well in his business, he has really strong connections. The stuff I modelled for are really beautiful pieces and might I add VERY expensive, as in only the old me can afford the stuff. It was all branded, Prada, Gucci, Dior, LV, you name it, I'm currently modelling it. Of course I told him that I don't want anyone to recognise me so I always wear a brown wig to cover my blonde hair and wore make-up that I usually don't wear like eyeliner, charcoal black eyeliner. I was so shocked to see the pictures, it looked nothing like the usual me. Of course the usual me has blue eyes and blonde hair and doesn't usually wear make-up because I was just never really bothered to get it done. I asked him how come for such a small-ish studio, I got to wear such gorgeous and luxurious stuff. He told me that he just opened this branch and that his main office was in L.A. so he was here in Boston building it up. He even asked me if I wanted to run this branch. I thought about it and thought why not, I could earn more money while I study. He told me that he would provide me with a company car, apartment and a new cell phone. Sweet. I was really lucky to have picked this place to go to out of all the places in the world.

Speaking of which, the university called me back and apparently I got in to all three faculties with a full scholarship for each one. They asked me which one I would choose and I told them that I would do all three if they let me. I told them that I've pretty much learnt everything from tutors that were the best students in these subjects in Japan. I even got into the med school straight away without having to do a post-grad prior. I have decided that I loved this city and it was bringing me good luck at every turn I took. They even told me I would be able to graduate before I was 21 with a triple degree. They wanted me as their mascot or something showing excellence. Weird….

Graduation Day

Today is my graduation day. I can't believe 5 years just went by so fast. Of course during this time I have learnt of my father's death, I couldn't even bring myself to go back to Tokyo for his funeral. I went to Itachi and Maaya for emotional support and they comforted me as I bawled my eyes out, crying all night long. Oh by the way, Maaya is Itachi's wife of 4 years now, they met through me, Maaya was in my Business classes and they met once, he asked her out, dated for 7 months before he proposed. It was so romantic. Hmm.. I never knew that Itachi of all people could be a romantic.. until now. Anyway, back to my life. I became Itachi's business partner and bought 20 of the shares in his company, he promoted me to VP, although he originally planned for me to be president but I declined the offer because I was too pushed by the work load at the time. I still model from time to time when the pieces were one of a kind or limited editions. I had everything I wanted and had no help from my father's inheritance. I was back to living like before I left, but now it was my money, earned with my hard work and efforts, not handed to me on a silver platter. I loved my life and forgot all about the little mishap that is the arrangement with Sasuke made by my father. And I also forgot that today would be my doom's day, my apocalypse, the day my world would be turned upside down. Today, on my graduation day, was the day I turned 21. Oh God, help me. And for a genius, I was an idiot because I had completely, utterly forgotten.

I was still living in my dorm room as I always did during the semester. As I started packing and cleaning my stuff to move it back to my apartment, I heard a faint knock on my door. I chose to ignore it, thinking it might have been a knock on someone else's dorm room. Then it came again. The knocking kept getting louder; I decided that if I didn't get the door now, the person on the other side would not go away and leave me to work in peace. The person seemed to get more and more impatient as they waited outside my door, and knocked like there was no tomorrow. I got up from my bed from folding away my clothes and walked towards the door.

"Alright, alright I'm coming… geeze impatient much?!" I said in a slightly annoyed tone. As I opened the door the first thing I did was look down, I saw was his foot. It was a he, he was wearing formal leather shoes, and judging by the appearance, very expensive, branded leather shoes that looked like one of the LV designs that I once saw. And he was also wearing black suit pants. This man was definitely not Itachi, but his silhouette from my view of his lower leg and feet, he seemed to look familiar. OH MY GOD, don't tell me… I kept reciting in my brain 'Please let it not be who I think it is' as my gaze started to slowly rise to meet his face. SHIT... That one word was the only thing my genius brain could come up with at this moment in time. I just stood there dumbstruck, too shocked to say or do anything. My poor brain was still trying to digest the fact that the man I've been running away from and avoiding all this time has finally showed up at my doorstep to drag my sorry ass back to Japan and halt the wonderful life I have here. I stood there God knows for how long gaping (not that much) and wide-eyed in shock.

"Sa-Sas-Sasuke?" I asked, fear-stricken.
