Uchiha Sasuke was never one to believe in love.
After all, he is our favorite cold hearted jerk-- whom we suspect does not own hormones.
At least that's what we thought until he met her.

Feel the rain on your skin,
No one else can feel it for you,
Only you can let it in.
No one else,
No one else can speak the words on your lips.

Unwritten; Chapter 1

The meeting between the two big shots that had great amounts of power, one, Japan's military force, the Uchiha Police Force, and the other, Japan's healthcare, the Hokage Hospital was coming to an end. The leaders of both organizations were discussing various things, including the pros and cons, their benefits, and the other's benefits. It was a nightmare for Tsunade although; Shizune didn't let her drink sake since yesterday.

"So the deal will go as planned?" Fugaku said as he took a sip of his coffee, which had long gone cold.
Tsunade stretched and yawned before replying, "Yes, the Uchiha Police Force will sponsor and help the design team, for the building of the Hokage home, and the Hokage Hospital will do everything we can to help in your investigations, and treat your workers."
"Then let us sign the deal off."
They took the respective papers and signed.


Tsunade yawned as she sleepily shuffled papers around, looking for the papers that had been signed the previous night. She continued looking even as several knocks sounded on her door. Sakura's voice was muffled through the door, "Shishou? You called for me?"

"Sakura, come in." She waited for Sakura to enter before continuing, "the deal has been signed off--you and Hinata will report to work at the Police Force for the time being until everything has been planned."
"Hai."

Tsunade passed a piece of paper to her.
"Here are the details on who to meet and dates are on the paper. You can leave now."
"Hai, Shishou, I'll do my best!" Sakura exited the room, closing the door behind her with a small click.

A smile graced Tsunade's lips. She sure has grown up.


Sakura rose early the next morning and hurried over to the police force station.
"Hinata-chan! Over here." Sakura flung her arms around trying to get the pale haired girl's attention.

In which she did get, as Hinata walked towards her, "S-sakura-chan. Sorry for being late." The shy girl bowed apologetically, her face flushed.
"I'm just early! No sweat, Hinata-chan, besides, this place is a nice change from the white walls from the hospital!"
"H-hai."

Whilst they were chatting, a coffee-colored long haired male cleared his throat to interrupt them. "Hinata."
"N-neji." She made a gesture towards Sakura, "t-this is Sakura, S-sakura-chan, he's Neji, my cousin, and you already know t-that he w-will be escorting us."

Sakura gave him a bright smile and he gave her a nod.
"Shall we get started?"


Walking through the maze of office desks and rooms, and the cafeteria had become a routine in just a few days for the pink haired medic. Sakura had familiarized herself with the setting of things with the help of her photographic memory. Now she reached the elevator and pressed the 'up' button, having gotten coffee for Hinata, Neji, and for herself.

Sakura had known Hinata for a long time. She had attended medical school with her and they were best friends. The pale eyes were some sort of generic thing, and all Hyuuga's who had them could easily pinpoint pressure points, so they were extremely useful in the healthcare line, but they were just as deadly in the Military force.

It was no wonder Neji was here, but they had surprisingly gotten along with each other, well, they were both witty, and liked to exchange them. He was arrogant, but so was she. Sakura was after all the famed Tsunade's apprentice, and had taken much after her, disregarding the gambling of course. They also had quite the similar ideas for the design for the home; they had become quite the friends. She was rather interested on who this girl Tenten was, since Neji occasionally talked about her-it was really surprising for Neji to talk about anyone, unless he was talking to them.

A soft 'Ding' was heard, alerting her that the elevator had arrived, and she entered it. She juggled cups of coffee onto one arm and pressed the button that indicated, 17th Floor- the main buildings were among the largest she'd ever seen.

The elevator stopped a few levels higher. A handsome messy-raven haired young man with onyx eyes who was wearing a business suit stepped inside. Sakura was dressed professionally as well, attired in a blouse and a black pencil skirt, her pink hair tied into a neat bun, bangs framing her face. He raised an elegant brow when he saw her, and she returned the gesture with a soft smile. She later recognized him as Uchiha Sasuke.

They stood in silence when it finally reached her destination. The glass doors of the elevator opened, revealing Neji standing at its doors, "So there you are." He said teasingly with a smirk on his face. "I thought you got lost."
"Hyuuga Neji, worried?" She did an un-lady like snort, "I didn't think that would ever happen." She retorted, putting up an air of arrogance.
Neji happened to peer into the elevator when he helped her with the coffee, and smirked, "Uchiha."

The other male smirked and replied, "Hyuuga."


Sasuke was rather amused as he saw them exchange witty remarks about the other. Never would have thought Hyuuga was the kind to bicker, except occasionally with Tenten, he thought to himself.

As the lift doors were closing, Neji raised an eyebrow at the unknown female with pink hair, "So, enjoyed your time with the Uchiha?" Sasuke saw her blush hotly and half-shouted at him as she whacked him on the head with her free hand, "N-NEJI!"

Sasuke smirked after hearing the Hyuuga tease her about him. Well, at least she wasn't half as annoying as the other female staff members. She was perky, and that pink hair was intriguing, her green eyes bright. She also had a nice smile. Sasuke mentally slapped himself.

What the hell am I thinking! She's just another female.


It was late.
Haruno Sakura had just finished preparing her reports and ideas she had for the meeting tomorrow, she yawned and took her empty mug, frowning at it. She set it back down and cat stretched a bit, flexing her arms and standing up Sakura stared at the report, I'm sure Shishou will be proud, she thought with a smile.

She smiled again. The station was a nice place and the people were friendly Naruto and Kiba, for example, who had come running to Hinata and her. They were both loudmouths, and it was hard to see that they were friends, or could actually work! But Naruto and Kiba were actually part of the Secret Forces, known as ANBU. They were the elite, and only the special medics who had sworn to secrecy knew-Sakura herself, being Tsunade's student, knew, (only recently, but hadn't healed a single one yet.).But of course, Hinata-chan being a Hyuuga, she would know. I guess looks can be really deceiving.

She also had been shocked to see her best friend from kindergarten, Yamanaka Ino, here. She was also part of ANBU but her job didn't involve fieldwork (at least for now). Ino was an Interrogator, and from what Sakura had heard, she could talk about fashion for hours, and finally the prisoner would talk. (She didn't quite believe that, but, then again, knowing Ino, anything was possible.) Sakura had also realized that Ino was probably interested in a guy called Shikamaru, seeing as she kept babbling about him (Sakura could tell, but Ino would never admit it.) Sakura still hadn't met him yet, but Ino had informed her that he was dating another girl, whom she called blonde-bitch-which is really ironic, since she's a blonde too. Ino was convinced she liked Shikamaru more-Sakura agreed-she'd never heard Ino talk about another guy for so long!- and she plotted everyday to break them apart.

She'd be sad to leave this place, but the hospital needed her. She loved helping people, and she couldn't bear to leave her shishou. Tsunade had taken her in and treated her like her own daughter after Sakura's father had died in a car crash after returning from visiting patients. (He had been a doctor.) And her mother… had a family of her own now.

Her cell phone vibrated, shaking her from her thoughts. She flipped it open. It was a message from Shizune, her older sister-figure.

Are you coming home now? If you are, I'll warm up the food for you.

She was smiling when she replied to the message, her thoughts starting up again.
She really had a good life. There were many people who cared about her and she'd alsosaved a lot of lives. Now all she needed was a boyfriend.

Sakura could practically hear tires screeching in her brain.

-

Hold the phone! She was perfectly fine with being single!


After lunch, Sakura felt a bit triumphant. She'd finally seen who this Tenten girl was. She was pretty, and wore two buns on her head like a panda-she had also stated she liked pandas, so don't mess with them, you bloody poachers! - and Neji had talked more than usual. Tenten even caught him off guard when she asked him who Hinata's sister was He had replied to the question after a while -getting him off his high horse, she called it.

Sakura also noted that she liked playing around with forks, and almost threw it at Naruto when he ate with his mouth open. It had been a real disgusting sight, seeing half-chewed ramen noodles inside someone's mouth isn't a pleasant sight.

She had also seen Shikamaru and the blonde-bitch-Sakura found out her real name was Temari- and found out that Temari and Ino were quite similar. She also found that Shikamaru treated them both in nearly the same manner! (They were both called troublesome, but isn't everyone called that?) Anyways, Shikamaru was a genius with an IQ of over 200- but his EQ isn't that high- Sakura thought.

All he muttered about others was troublesome- when Ino had introduced her to him, he commented with 'Another troublesome woman'- to which Sakura had grinned evilly when Ino whacked him on the head.

Sakura also met Kankuro, (was that face paint on his face?), and distinguished him as a flirt. (He had tried flirting with her, but met with Neji's glare.) Afterwards he introduced himself to be a puppet master, to which Neji gave a snide remark about dolls, which made him twitch, and left saying he had to fix one of them, as soon as he left, everyone burst into laughter, (Neji had said he was going to make a voodoo doll out of him.).
Surprisingly, Neji does have a sense of humor.


The three of them- Sakura, Tenten, and Neji, (Hinata had decided to stay a while more with Naruto.) as well as an elderly cleaner, went into the elevator, and continued chatting about various things. Sakura then found out that the idea of the home was sent by the Hyuuga clan, which as why Neji was team leader of the project.

The elevator stopped a few levels above, and in entered Uchiha Sasuke. He smirked at Tenten and Neji, nodded at Sakura and stood beside her. The old lady bowed slightly to him. Opposite them were Neji and Tenten and the old lady stood at the back Sasuke and Neji were having a glaring competition, while Tenten rolled her eyes at their childish antics.

Sakura broke the rather tense atmosphere by asking the old lady, "Obaa-san, which floor are you getting off at?"
The old lady blinked her eyes and crinkled her wrinkled eyebrows as she frowned, trying to remember, "Same as Uchiha-sama."

"Twenty three." He whispered to Sakura, as she fumbled with her fingers for the button.
The elevators doors opened, and Sakura walked out, followed by Sasuke who had stopped Neji from getting out, as he passed a folder to Neji, "Pass this to Kankuro."

Neji looked rather shocked and stunned, and stared at the Uchiha's back until the lift doors closed.
"B-but I'm team leader! I'm supposed to start the damned meeting damn it!" He finally registered what Sasuke had asked him to do.

By his side, Tenten laughed, "He finally took the test I told him to."
"Which is?"

"Hormones!"


Watanabe Ami sounds like Wannabe, and that's already strike one! She acts like a bitch, strike two! We all hate her, strike three, and she's out!


Watanabe Ami did not like many people (and vice versa.), and when did she like someone, it was either, one, for their assets, like cash, etc, or two, for their looks. So when she found out there was someone called Uchiha Sasuke, who possessed both, cash and looks, she went for him.

She wasn't ugly either, and had the style to go for it, but, she didn't have a big heart, meaning she was selfish, but we all probably knew already. However, men whom didn't know her actual personality were attracted to her, or they just probably liked her looks, or wondered how she acted in bed. Yes, most men are all no good creatures.

Watanabe Ami also did not like to give up things she liked. Yes, so when she saw her Uchiha Sasuke entering the meeting room with the representative of Hokage Hospital, Haruno Sakura, she was not pleased.

Haruno Sakura was one of Tokyo's many sweethearts. She was pretty, and no one could miss her, she just stood out too much, both on looks wise and personality wise.
She had pastel pink hair, that wasn't actually painful to look at, (it was quite soothing, actually), and her green eyes that looked a shade between forest green and jade, was pretty. She had porcelain skin that was unmarred, a cute button-like nose, and a small petite mouth.

For her personality, she was outgoing, sensitive to other's feelings, had quite the spunk, but of course you had to mind the short temper, and that super strength.

That gave Ami a few more reasons to dislike this Sakura girl. The moment Sakura had come into the picture; she had made close friends with the other bishie, Hyuuga Neji, whom was also in her lists of likes.
She was also best friends with the ex-Hyuuga Heiress, meaning that she was extremely rich, in fact all the Hyuuga's were.

Ami already hated this girl. First she came into the building, escorted by Hyuuga Neji, best friends with Hyuuga Hinata, and now? Strolling into the meeting room with her Sasuke-kun!

Ami was a bitch, she hated it when people like Sakura had everything she wanted in her grasp, and she was going to bring Haruno, down.


Hyuuga Neji was not pleased. He had never expected the Uchiha to pull such a move. He could already foresee himself and Kankuro bitching away. Just for Sasuke's own amusement. Yes… that had to be it, that bloody sadistic bastard. Now they'd never get anything done! Damn that Uchiha. He purposely placed the two together, knowing fully well that they absolutely did not get along. (That was the understatement of a lifetime.)

Tenten did not help at all; she merely laughed at him before going to file a report with Uchiha-sama about her latest mission.

Neji had known Tenten ever since, well ever, they had enrolled into the same martial arts course, and Neji, Tenten and Lee were chosen to participate in a team competition, and they had a special coach called Maito Gai, whom is also working with them now.

Since they were in a team, they had to co-operate with one another, and they started to bond, as they were the only two sane members of the team. While Gai had spent most of his time honing the same skills with Lee (at which Lee had gladly accepted), Neji spent most of his time sparring and training with Tenten.

They complimented each other, his Byakugan, the skill that marks the Hyuuga clan the way it is, was not perfect to those whom had really knew of it. Those who possessed it had great vision, and it was nearly 360 degrees, but there was a blind spot to it. So, Tenten would cover that blind spot with her mastery of weapons, and Neji would cover for her hand to hand combat. (They hardly used guns but had them just in case.)

They made the perfect team.

Now that they were adults, they still held their daily sparring sessions, and were often paired up together for missions, which were very much to both of their taste, both knew the other best.
They had common likes and dislikes as well. Well, both of them liked Chinese food, pandas (this was forced by Tenten), and they both very much hated Gai and Lee moments (and the horrible jumpsuit!)

Of course there were bound to be arguments between the two. Once, when Neji said he didn't like pandas, Tenten started shouting at him about pandas while he got annoyed with her. It took her a while to cool down so they could talk without Neji getting things thrown at him.

But they resolved it.

There were also awkward moments, like when Tenten had cut Neji once, after he failed to dodge. She had run over to him to check out the injury, just as she leaned in to take a closer look, Lee had just chanced upon the incident and started shouting out speeches of 'Youth', which had led to a twitching Neji and Tenten throwing a kunai at him.

It had been awkward for them to be around each other for a while, but soon they were back to normal.

They didn't have any romantic feelings for each other. He knew he didn't feel anything more than friendship for her, and felt he knew her well enough to say she felt the same. Nothing more than friendship.

-

Anyways, when he met Kankuro, instead of them bitching, Kankuro had asked him to organize a party for Tenten's birthday, (March 9th). The day had passed quietly—Tenten had been forced to go on a mission, and Neji took the time in which he usually sparred with her to buy her a present.

But asking him to throw a party for a birthday gone by quietly was too much.
"Aww, c'mon! She's YOUR best friend, considering it's so hard to even make friends with you."
"I don't organize parties. For anyone."
"You mean you don't how know to?" Kankuro managed to hold back a snigger, "I'll ask the girls to organize it then."
"Hn."
"It's settled then! We'll hold it… where?" He began mumbling things to himself and Neji settled himself down, ignoring the other man.

He had a meeting to attend to.


Haruno Sakura was rather disturbed.

All she did was just take a seat in the meeting room, and this purple haired girl in charge of the accounts, Watanabe Ami, was glaring at her. Actually, to be more precise she had been glared at by the girl the moment she entered the room.

Sakura began to feel rather self-conscious and gave a meek smile to Ami--maybe her eyes hurt at the pinkness of her hair?-- which had in turn given her an even bigger glare. Sakura 'eeped' mentally, and just sat down, looking at anyone and everyone except Ami.

Uchiha Sasuke took a seat next to her. Sakura gave him a curious glance, which he did not return. She scowled.

She heard the tapping of heels behind her, and there stood Watanabe Ami.
Ami gave Sakura an extremely sweet fake smile and her voice was coated with sugar, "Sakura, dear, would you mind changing places with me?" Her eyes shone dangerously and seemed to shoot sparks at the pink haired girl.

Sakura gulped outwardly, while rolling her eyes to herself, (it would be fun to make Ami think she was afraid of her) and was about to give up her seat, when Sasuke spoke.

"No." This gave Sakura even more reason to want to leave her seat. She didn't feel like dealing with Ami and no person had the right to tell her not to move! Or move, for that matter!
She stood up, and Sasuke turned his head, looking incredulously at Sakura, which she replied by giving a sweet smile, "Tata, Uchiha-san!"

Ami flung herself into the vacated seat, "Sasuke-kuun!" She purred.
Sasuke twitched and glared at Sakura when she took Ami's place opposite them. Sakura had a smug smile on her face.

Shortly, Hinata peeped into the room and sat next to Sakura as people filled into the meeting room.
Neji came in later, giving the Uchiha a glare, which Sasuke had returned with a smirk.

"Is everyone here?"


Organize a birthday party for Tenten? That just seemed the perfect opportunity to snag Shikamaru from Temari. Ino giggled as she plotted darkly.
Kankuro and Sakura looked at her, both sweat dropping. Hinata just stared.
Kankuro had immediately popped in right after the meeting had ended which by the way, ran rather smoothly since Sakura had pleased Ami..

"Ladies, I'll be going, erm, everything will be up to you." Kankuro said, leaving the room after taking a back glance at Ino who was still mumbling to herself with that sinister grin.

Sakura took out a notepad out of her bag, after which Hinata passed her a pen, mumbling a thanks, she started talking "O-kay. So we're holding it at the bar three blocks away from here, and it'll be held on Friday, and today is Wednesday, which means we HAVE to start now." Sakura took in a deep breath before continuing.

"A-ano, what f-flavor does Tenten like?"
"We'll get chocolate cake," an evil grin crossed Ino's face, "let the planning of how-to-get-Tenten-and-kill-Temari start!"


"So, why am I doing this again?" Neji's white eyes stared in disbelief at Ino.
"Because you are best friends with her, and she would least suspect you to come up with something like that."
"Not valid."

"Because you are the hottest, smartest genius around, and if you don't do it, you'll lose to Sasuke."
"Sure."

Ino smirked, "Works every time."


A/N; I sort of edited the format. Hope it looks better:D (21/12/07)

"So the deal will go as planned?" Fugaku said as he took a sip of his coffee, which had long gone cold.
Tsunade did a little stretch when she hiccupped and fell to the table, deep asleep.

"Damn you Tsunade! It's the third take!"
She snored in reply.

Shizune slapped her forehead in annoyance.
Sakura giggled.

Sakura broke the rather tense atmosphere by asking the old lady, "Obaa-san, which floor are you getting off at?"

The old lady blinked her eyes and crinkled her wrinkled eyebrows as she frowned, trying to remember, "Same as Uchiha-sama."
"Twenty-three." He whispered to Sakura, as she fumbled with her fingers for the button.

The elevators doors opened, and Sakura walked out, Sasuke who had stopped Neji from getting out, he passed a folder to Neji, "Pass this to Kankuro."
As he was walking out, he bumped into the glass door, and saw Sakura widening her eyes at him.

"Shit."
"UCHIHA!! WRONG TIMING AGAIN!"
"Nice one Uchiha." Neji smirked.

"Shut up!" Sasuke shouted, and put a hand through his hair, attempting to act cool, but to no avail.

Sasuke's cell phone vibrated and he took it out of his pocket, flipping it open.
"Hn."
"HAH! TEME I SAW THAT!" screamed Naruto.

Sasuke scowled.

Anyways, when he met Kankuro, instead of them bitching, Kankuro had asked him to organize a party for Tenten's birthday, (9th March), which Neji had spent the time he usually sparred with Tenten, as she had gone for a mission, to buy her a present.

"Aww, c'mon! She's YOUR best friend, considering it's so hard to even make friends with you."
"I don't organize parties. For no one."
"You mean you don't how know to?" Kankuro sniggered.
"At least I don't play with Barbie and ken dolls."

"Get off my case! They aren't dolls! THEY ARE PUPPETS!" Kankuro exclaimed loudly with his arms flung madly around him.
Neji deadpanned at the things at Kankuro's hands, noticing, he hid them behind his back.
"WHAT? Barbie was just going shopping with Kelly! Now get moving and give us some quality time."
"Gladly."

Correction, they were bitching!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Organize a birthday party for Tenten? That just seemed the perfect opportunity to snag Shikamaru from Temari. Ino giggled as she plotted darkly.
Kankuro and Sakura looked at her, both sweat dropping. Hinata just stared.

Ino started laughing like a maniac.
Suddenly a ring tone could be heard.

Gossips! I love gossips!
Everyone hates Temari,
Everyone loves Ino!
Naruto loves Hhhhhhiiiinaaaaa-THUD.

Hinata was sprawled on the floor.
"Ehehehehee, my bad?" Ino cringed.
