Chapter 2: The Search and Approval…Shisui's POV

I woke up around 10 am getting roughly 7 hours of sleep. But last night I didn't want to go to sleep no matter how much my body wanted to. I wanted to search for the beautiful angel that I had seen. What if she was just a traveler and was leaving this morning? What if I missed a chance to ask her name, to meet her? But with no leads I had no where to start looking for her; Konoha was a big village looking for her while severely intoxicated was not a good idea.

I woke up and the hangover hit me hard. The pain was excruciating but I pushed it to the back of my mind. I would have to sneak into the Uchiha compound, avoid Itachi for he most likely had a mission already for our team, interrogate Sasuke, and leave quickly to go of in search if I had a lead.

I took a quick shower and grabbed an apple on my way out the door. I rushed to the compound and found Sasuke in the kitchen with his face on the table as his mother looked over him. Fugaku-sama looked amused/exasperated with his son's condition.

I banged the door open-even though I nearly died from my own hangover-and made my way over to Sasuke. He had his hands over his ears and scowled at me. I ripped his hands from his ears and took on a serious face, making everyone in the room stiffen at the sight of me. "Sasuke I need you to think hard and give me a truthful answer or I swear I will rip you to shreds for lying to me in this dire emergency. I met a girl last night at your party, well briefly actually, but I have to know her name and where she lives so I can ask her out! Do you know how urgent it is that I find her now! She had deep jade eyes that probably had no match in all the world, and angelic face, warm caring smile, and beautiful cherry blossom hair that fell right before her collarbone." My face had a dreamy expression and Sasuke seemed surprised at how I was acting about a girl.

"Never heard of her before," Sasuke dead panned while eating breakfast but having to run to the bathroom to throw up his stomach contents from the smell of food. I sighed dejectedly knowing that I wouldn't be able to get Sasuke to tell me anything while he was throwing up. I sat down in a chair and Baa-chan put a comforting hand on my shoulder. Her eyes shined with something but before I could ask her if sheknew anything about her Itachi strolled into the kitchen. He took a seat next to me and poured himself a glass of tea.

"Shisui, Hokage-sama wants us to head out tomorrow morning for a mission and it should take us about 1 week to complete if we are fast. I expect you to be ready by 5 AM tomorrow morning. I'll go tell the others," Itachi said in his normal voice calm and emotionless voice. I looked over to Baa-chan again and saw her looking anywhere but me, and Fugaku-sama was looking in the direct center of his paper, where there were no words. They knew something, and they weren't telling me.

"Baa-chan, do you know who the girl is?" I asked her in a sweet voice while giving her my famous puppy-dog look. It always cracked people, Baa-chan always did and I could see it working now.

But just as I was about to get the information Fugaku-sama got up and grabbed her elbow. "Mikoto, we have a meeting to go to. Shisui good luck with your search for this girl." Fugaku-sama said and then left with Baa-chan. I was left to an empty kitchen and feeling like I had been left out of the loop. Whoever the angel was that I had met last night, she obviously new Fugaku-sama and Baa-chan.

3rdPerson POV

Shisui not wanting to waste another second bolted from the house with the speed he was known for. He looked all around the Hokage's office and when he had asked the Hokage herself all he got was an amused look and was told she wouldn't help him and to get out of her office.

Shisui looked around the shopping district of town trying to spot a girl with pink hair anywhere in the crowds. But everywhere he looked he could not find her. He looked all around the village, going some places twice. But he forgot to check one place: the Hospital. Finally he went to the one place he really didn't want to go but felt like it was a good shot. Shisui went to the Yamanaka flower shop to see the number 1 gossip in Konoha, Ino Yamanaka.

Walking into the shop the girl he was looking for was day dreaming at the desk. Ino did not look up when the bell rang just continued to be lost in space. Shisui walked up to the front desk and waved a hand in front of Ino's face. She snapped back to reality and just stared at him. "Ino, I need to ask you a question. But you have to promise not to tell anyone-and I mean anyone-what I asked you. You in?' Shisui asked her looking her straight in the eye with a serious look on his face.

"Shisui-san, what do you want to know?" Ino asked. She was intrigued to know what got him so serious.

"I'm looking for a girl that I met last night at Sasuke's party. She was beautiful and I need to find her."

"Well I guess I could help; but only if you tell me what exactly the girl looked like and what interest you have in her."

"She had beautiful jade green eyes like no other I have seen before. She also had cherry blossom colored hair. I was going to ask her out on a date and see if she would say yes to me. But I also wanted to know her name. I just can't seem to stop thinking about her since I saw her. Do you know the girl?"

"Oh my God! You Like Foreh-I mean you like her?"

"You know who she is, where is she?"

"Shisui-san, I can't exactly tell you who she is or where she is even though I really want to. She is a special girl and is really cared for. I know you are a good guy, but you can be a playboy sometimes. She is my best friend and I wouldn't want her getting hurt because this date you have doesn't go as planned and she starts to like you but this crush you have on her goes away when you talk to her. I don't want her to get hurt so until you prove yourself to be a good guy who won't hurt her I will not help you. I mean didn't you ask Sasuke for approval to date her? He is like her older brother."

"That little bastard, he said that he had no idea as to who she was. I am going to go rip him to shreds for not telling me."

"If you rip Sasuke to shreds the girl you want will rip you to shreds. Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi-senpai are all protective of her as a little sister and daughter. So if you really want to date her go see them and get their permission. I am not allowed to give any man her address or phone number until they allow it. I really wish I could but they will eat me alive. You seem to care about her enough, my best advise is to go to Naruto first. Buy him some ramen and then slip into the conversation that you would like to know where she is and if you could ask her out. Just get on their good sides. Kakashi will be the most likely to deny your request. And if you try lying to them then you will die by her or their hands. Have fun and I wish you the best of luck. You are sogoing to need it."

"Fine. But can you at least tell me her name?"

"I'll tell you her first name. It's Sakura." With that Ino ran to the back of the store and Shisui left the flower shop. Shisui headed to the Uchiha Compound to see Sasuke first. He needed to have a little chat with Sasuke about some things.

On Shisui's way back he walked past the hospital not even glancing at it. He had nobody to visit there so saw no reason to go there.

Just as Shisui walked past the hospital and out of sight of anybody inside Sakura came strolling out of the Hospital to go see Naruto at Ichiraku for some ramen. If only Shisui had gone there first.

Because Shisui had been all over town more than once searching for Sakura it was now around 3 in the afternoon. So he had missed lunch so might as well get Mikoto to make him a snack. She was a kind woman who loved her children and enjoyed caring for Shisui as well.

When he got back to the Uchiha compound he found Sasuke training in the backyard. He walked to the backyard and just stood there waiting for Sasuke to acknowledge him. Knowing that it was no use and he would have to take the reins Shisui made him way to Sasuke and stood beside him. "You lied to me little cousin. You know the girl I'm looking for and now I know why. It is noble that you would want to protect her, Sakura, that is. I got the information out of Ino. Well not all of it at least, she told me that I had to get Naruto's, Kakashi's, and your permission to take her on a date. Listen, I like this girl a lot and I would rather avoid upsetting her by hurting you guys when you attack me if I don't get your blessing to date her. I want to get to know her. I may not truly know her Sasuke, but I have not stopped thinking about her since we met. Please Sasuke I will do whatever it takes for you to allow me to date her. Just one date and if she doesn't enjoy herself I will back off even if I don't want to."

Sasuke was still hitting the dummy with kunai when he turned to me with his Sharingan activated. "I will only allow you to date her under the conditions that you do not touch her unless she allows it. You will be polite and kind and not make her cry ever. If you break her heart the others members of Team 7 and myself get full warrant to beat the shit out of you until you are unrecognizable to your own mother. Do we have and understanding?" Shisui nodded his head and grinned full force at him. "Alright, you have to go to Naruto next. Kakashi-sensei is the final person you have to clear everything with." Shisui started to walk away and was headed to go get some lunch at Ichiraku to find Naruto when he was stopped. "Shisui she is kind and caring, she wears her heart on her sleeve for anybody. Take her someplace nice if she agrees to go out with you."

Shisui just nodded his head and walked away from the compound down the streets. But as Shisui was leaving the compound Sakura was leaving her lunch with Naruto who wanted to stay another hour for another bowl of ramen. Sakura got to the hospital just before Shisui got there.

Shisui got to the Ramen stand to see Naruto ordering another ramen and saw his chance to take Ino's advice. "Put that one on me and I'll take a chicken ramen Ayame-chan."

Naruto looked to Shisui and grinned at him. Shisui sat down next to Naruto and they both ate for a little bit. "Naruto, I actually came to ask you something." Naruto turned to Shisui and gave him a nod as noodles hung out of his mouth. "I was wondering if I could have your approval to ask Sakura out on a date. I heard that apparently to date Sakura you have to have Sasuke's, Kakashi's, and your approval. I already got Sasuke's approval as long as I treat her well. I promise I will, I really like Sakura and not just as a one night stand like I do with most girls. I want to get to know her. Please, Naruto let me take Sakura out on a date."

Naruto seemed to look at Shisui trying to seem cool by squinting his eyes at him while looking him up and down. But really it just gave him a constipated look that Shisui really wanted to laugh at but somehow he restrained himself from doing so. "Shisui-teme, why should I let you ask Sakura-chan on a date? I mean aren't you like a pervert. I don't want Sakura-chan to be with a pervert."

Shisui's eye twitched at being called a pervert. "I like her and I promise this is not about sex for me."

"Alright, I give my approval for you to date Sakura-chan. And I wish you luck in convincing Kakashi-sensei. You are really gonna need it. I hope that you don't die, Sasuke-teme probably already told him so they are prepared by now. Have fun and thanks for the ramen Shisui-teme."

Shisui walked out of the ramen stand and made his way to Kakashi's apartment. It was going to be the worst of the 3 challenges to be accepted to ask Sakura out. Kakashi saw Sakura as his daughter since her parents died when she was 17. Shisui was going to be put through hell from Kakashi seeing as how Naruto and Sasuke didn't do much for the guy and just sent the men off to be maimed by Kakashi. That usually scared the man off for good.

Poor, Poor, Poor Shisui, getting himself into hell all for the woman he fell for at first sight.

Hey, everyone! Yuuko here and Merry Christmas!

I'm the new writer who's adopting SakuraHarunoxBleach's fic, falling hard seeing as she gave me permission to adopt it. In which, I THANK HER SO MUCH! I must find a way to ship her eggnog for Christmas.

Ok, some of you might be skeptical as of my abilities, and I don't blame you for that. So if you're unconvinced of my writing abilities, go read POAL and reverse from my profile.

It would mean a lot! Alright, once again, merry Christmas everyone! Hope you have a nice holiday!
