Chapter Two: Surprise, surprise!


"Uchiha Itachi," the man himself answered his phone in a flawless move as he didn't even allowed his Samsung Galaxy Nexus to vibrate more than it was necessary.

"Brother," ah, he perfectly knew that voice well, "Its been long since I last contacted you."

Itachi continued looking over the documents he was revising not seconds ago. "Sasuke, I heard from mother you were returning from Suna. How was it?"

A grumble was heard on the other line. "It was hot as hell, but I enjoyed my sweet free time there."

"Ah." Is that so?

"Hn." Yeah. They perfectly understood each other, after all, they are Uchiha. "Say Itachi, where you at right now?"

Hn. Seems someone wants a favor. "At my office," he flipped a page. "Why?"

A long silence invaded the conversation until Sasuke himself pierced through it. "Mind sending someone to Konoha's International Airport to pick me up? I was going to ask you but you're busy at the moment. I'm not really fond of taxis…"

Itachi nodded in understanding, though no one was there to see it. It wasn't that long ago Shisui had been kidnapped by a taxi driver, but the fortunate part was that that day Shisui was really drunk that he even annoyed the driver himself and he let him go. "Fine, Deidara will be there in few minutes."

Itachi could almost hear the frown his brother was giving off. "Is it that blonde cross-dresser?"

The older Uchiha sighed as he filed the documents he held into a manila folder. "He is not a cross-dresser, Sasuke, and you better not mention anything that would hurt his male pride or otherwise you will have to ride one of those yellow taxis."

Sasuke snorted. "Fine. Then I'll see you at your office. I have big news for you." With that last said, both males ended the call simultaneously.

Itachi reached for his office phone dialing the number of the Uchiha Corp's personal driver. "Hmm? Deidara here, how may I help you, yeah?" That man and his Iwa accent.

"Deidara, my brother Sasuke at the moment is at Konoha's International Airport. Please do me the favor of bringing him here. He already knows you're going for him." Itachi didn't even left any necessary detail out.

"Right away, Itachi. Just remember that I one day will have a company of my own and it will be beyond more powerful than yours, yeah." Itachi chuckled at his answer. "When you need something, don't mind asking, Deidara."

As soon as he ended his call, his office door was slammed wide open. His employee, Konan, stood before him stomping her way towards his crystal clear, glass desk. Her breathing was slightly fast. From Itachi's guess, he deduced that the bluette was irritated due to his cousin, Uchiha Shisui.

"Mr. Uchiha, may I please be transferred to a different department? Your cousin, Mr. Shisui Uchiha, isn't making my job any easier than it has to be. I love working here alongside with you but that man's flirting has to cease or I'm sure to send him to the hospital anytime soon." Bingo. The woman crossed her arms in front of her well developed chest. "Please, I'll even accept the cleaning department. Anything as long as it will keep me far away from that man."

Itachi rested his chin on the palm of his hand, his elbow resting on his desk. "Konan-san, I will change you to a different department but please don't ever offer to be placed somewhere below your own status. You're capable of doing wonders to this company, I forever will be grateful to you for that. After all, you are my dear friend's fiancé." He smirked when he saw the woman before him blush from embarrassment either from the compliments he gave her or the mention of her fiancé. "I will make sure that Shisui doesn't go near you and if he tries anything with you please do notify me. I will take care of him myself."

"Thank you, Mr. Uchiha." She gave a firm nod before disappearing to gather her things off her desk.

Itachi let out a deep sigh. His life was always full of drama.

RING!

He pressed the red button for the speaker on his office phone. "What is it, Tenten?" he sounded less tired than what he really felt like. "Itachi, your mother is on line five. She says that she needs to speak to you about important matters. And don't you dare tell me you're too busy. I already told her that you would answer."

Another sigh escaped his thin, smooth lips. "Fine, I'll answer her right now."

"Remember, line five!" His personal secretary's voice chanted as if it were the best thing ever to receive a mother's call on a tiring day.

Itachi picked up the phone and with his slender forefinger firmly pressed the button with the blinking red light that rested next to the number five. "Mother?"

He didn't have to wait even half of a second to receive an answer. "Ita-kun! How have you been?" She answered cheerfully. "Why haven't you visit your poor mother?" Then she scolded.

Itachi rested his head on the headrest of his work office chair. "I've been fine, mother. How about you? I also haven't had the time to visit since my schedule has been packed with meetings with other agencies, not to mention the business trips as well."

He could already hear his mother's protests about him working too hard. "Itachi Uchiha, you need to take breaks once in a while. If you don't, you will harm your body both mentally and physically!" Said man rubbed his temples with his free hand. "I've been better, but that was not why I called you. You know how Sasu-chan will be coming back from Suna? Well, I planned a nice little celebration for his return. It will be held at our house, so please do come! And bring someone with you! It will be tomorrow night, and don't you dare tell me that you're too busy with work! I promise you that Sasuke will not be happy if you're absent there tomorrow!"

The Uchiha only nodded. "Yes, mother. I don't want to be rude but may I please go back to work? If I don't finish I might actually not go tomorrow."

His mother set her mouth into a firm line. "Fine. I better see you there, Itachi. Good day."

"Bye, mother." As soon as he finished, his door was opened by his personal secretary who was being followed by his cousin on tow.

"So, your little brother is returning back from Suna." Tenten said it as if it were old news. "Bah. More Uchiha trouble coming right up." She sat herself on a leather sofa that rested close to her superior's desk.

Shisui stood leaning on the wall with crossed arms. "Why, aren't you a snooper?" He smirked as he received a death glare from the brunette female.

"Shut it, Shisui. I need to know every little detail of my boss's life. I am his personal secretary. Unlike you, who is a mega perv!" Tenten lifted her chin high to show boldness.

Shisui snorted. "I already had Konan all crazy for me! It was just a matter of time and she would be all over me with a simple snap of my fingers!"

Tenten laughed. "Pff! You wish! The poor woman didn't even want to be near you!"

Shisui frowned. "Are you perhaps jealous, Tenten? I haven't flirted with you in a long time. Could it be that?" He gave her an Uchiha smirk.

Tenten was about to retort something back, but Itachi interrupted before she had the chance. "Shisui, leave all my employees alone. Konan came by to demand to be switched to a different department—away from you. Don't make me call Pain on you. Also, Tenten is certainly not jealous. If she hasn't shown any romantic affection towards me then certainly not will she ever with you."

Tenten almost jumped from happiness from the epic comeback her boss had given. Shisui pouted like a child. "Man Itachi, you can sometimes be so cruel."

"Hn."

"Anyways," Tenten interrupted, "someone sent you a letter." She handed it with care to her boss. "Don't worry. No explosions or secret cameras this time. I'll bring some tea." She took long graceful steps towards the door.

"Snooper…" Shisui grunted.

"I heard you." Tenten remarked before closing the door.

Itachi scrutinized the letter with black sharp eyes. The envelope was a light pink… Similar to the color of cherry blossoms. He played with it by passing the small envelope between his long fingers. He was so focus in his task he didn't even notice when Tenten had opened the door to his office.

"Itachi? Is everything ok?" Black pools looked up to brown ones. "Hn. Why?"

Tenten set her lips into a grim line. "You've been smirking at the envelope since I came in," she stated.

Itachi raised his perfect raven eyebrow. Had time passed that fast? "Is that so?"

His secretary placed two cups of tea on the small table next to his desk. "Yeah," she ran a hand through her loose short hair. "If you need anything, just call for me." She left his office while giving Shisui a glance who gave her a bewildered look as well with a shrug of his shoulders.

The door finally silently closed, Shisui lifted himself up from the wall, pulled a chair in front of the desk and sat himself there. "Itachi, what are you hiding." It sounded more like a demand than a question. At times, Uchiha Shisui can be serious.

Itachi lifted his delicate eyebrow once again, never breaking eye contact with his cousin as he reached for one of the tea cups. "I don't know what you're talking about." He took a sip of his hot drink.

Shisui's eyebrows knitted together, eyes narrowed. "Itachi, don't try to hide it by drinking tea. I know that smirk of yours. Now spill, or I will bring the receptionist, Ino Yamanaka, and she will force the answer out of you."

Itachi almost laughed but hid it behind the smirk that was widening by the second. Again, he grabbed the light pink envelope, his gaze staring straight at it. "Do you remember that girl that would always follow be everywhere since little?" His eyes were on the envelope but his mind was elsewhere.

Uchihas were known for their cleverness. This also included Shisui. He looked at the pink envelope as he heard his cousin's words. It would take a fool to not know what he meant, though Shisui had an advantage from the rest since he was there to witness how a certain someone always followed his cousin around. It was as simple as adding two and two. "Haruno Sakura?"

Itachi's smirk widened if possible. Four.

"What about her?" Shisui understood the first part but what of her now? It had been like nine years since they last have seen her or even heard of her.

Itachi placed his cup on his desk. "I saw her today."

Shisui almost fell from his seat. "What! No way! How does she look? I bet she is a nice piece of meat! If she was already cute as a little girl, I can't imagine how she looks now!"

Itachi glared knives towards his older cousin. "Don't talk about her like that." His thoughts went back to the café that morning. "She is quite a woman. Her body curved up all in the right places." The tips of his lips quirked upwards.

Shisui was about to have a heart attack. His cousin, the Uchiha Itachi, just complimented a woman! Uchiha Itachi, the I'm-so-busy-to-look-at-woman-or-even-date-them man! "Damn, she must be something else if you just acknowledge that she has a pretty hot body!"

Itachi frowned.

"Where did you even see her?" Shisui asked.

Itachi grabbed his tea once again. "At a nearby café." He blew on his beverage before drinking from it.

Before Shisui could say anything else, a similar form of Itachi entered the room. "Brother," he greeted. His onyx eyes moved to the side to see his cousin. "Shisui."

Shisui yelled a 'hello' while Itachi nodded firmly. "Shisui, if you may, please return to your duties."

Shisui pouted again like a child. "But I want to be here with the family! Sasuke-chan, tell your mean brother to let me stay!" he pleaded.

Sasuke blinked a couple of times. "Sorry. I'm not the boss." Shisui stood up faking tears as he exited the room with slump shoulders.

Sasuke didn't waste any time as he sat himself where Shisui was not seconds ago. "You look paler, Itachi."

"You look a shade darker."

The younger Uchiha snorted. "I was in Suna. No one will even notice the difference."

Itachi nodded in agreement. "True, so how was your trip?"

Sasuke pulled his head back tiredly. "It was a disaster. I enjoyed my staying at Suna, but not my way to Konoha."

Itachi offer the other cup of tea. "Is that so?"

Sasuke gleefully accepted it. "Yeah. They held us at the airport since Naruto wouldn't allow the officers to take his ramen cups from his suitcase. They also found Suigetsu's weapon collection hidden between his clothing. Both idiots wouldn't let go of their belongings which caused a delay on the airport. Security had to inspect the items various times. After that, they allowed the fools to take their stuff but had to pay a certain extra amount of money." He drank some of his tea.

"Hn. Typical Naruto and Suigetsu."

"Hn." Sasuke couldn't agree more.

Gently, Itachi placed his cup of tea on his desk. "So, what were the big news you had for me?" He inquired.

Sasuke's lips twitched. "Well, back in Suna," he paused deciding on his word choice, "I met a girl." He declared rather swiftly.

Itachi raised a perfect arched eyebrow in question. Sasuke meeting a girl? Hn. This will be interesting. The man was beyond worst at dating females than his older brother. Itachi had at least dated some females but it was all for the business of Uchiha Corp. Only dates. Not even kisses. While Sasuke… he had never dated one single person ever. Never. Zero. Nada. "And?" He suggested for his little brother to continue.

"Well, we've been dating for some time already and…" he breathed in, "I asked her to be my wife." He rushed the words again as if it were a single word.

Thank god Itachi wasn't drinking from his cup of tea or otherwise he would of coughed it all out. His face was composed but in reality he was beyond shock. "Marry you," he gulped the remaining of his tea trying to hide his surprise, "Is she…?"

"No, she's not pregnant. The only major thing we have done is simply kiss. It may not seem like it but we're saving that time for our honeymoon." He lifted his cup. "Is this green tea?"

Itachi nodded. "When are you going to present her to the family?"

"Well, I found out mother was going to do small party welcoming my return so-" He was cut off by the music of his favorite song that alerted him that he had a call. He immediately answered his expensive phone. "Hello?" A long silence invaded the place. Sasuke frowned. "What do you mean you're still in Suna, Karin?" Ah, so that's his fiancé's name? "You're being held back? Why?" Itachi manage to hear a yelling woman on the other line. "Take that plane then, but don't be late. I need you here by at least tomorrow afternoon. It is import for you to be here." Sasuke stood straight on his chair, alarmed at whatever the female on the other line was saying. "Fine. See you tomorrow then." He pressed the end call button on the screen of his cell phone.

Sasuke leaned forward. "As I was saying, I will introduce her tomorrow at my mother's small gathering."

"Hn."

"Hn."

Silence.

"I expect to see you there, Itachi."

"Mother already threatened me about that. I don't need you to do so as well."

"Hn."

"Hn."

Uchihas.


Shorter than the last one. Not a lot of action but still really important information. It was going to be longer but I decided to write the other half as a separate chapter. Please review and I will update faster! Also if you don't have anything else to do, read my other ItaSaku fics! You will sure to enjoy them! ^_^

So Karin will be appearing… As well as Suigetsu and Naruto. Tenten came hunting me in my dreams! I swear! She wasn't even going to be a major role in this story at all! But I like where this is heading. I love Tenten's attitude in this story. Girl power. Lol. She considers Itachi as a little brother, though she's younger. She dislikes any other Uchiha. She knows every single detail of Itachi, yet, she's not a fan girl. :D -wiggles eyebrows- awesome…
