Chapter 2:

Recap:

The next second, a girl with luscious pink locks entered the room. Her emerald eyes sparkled and softened when she looked at her fiancé. But when they turned towards the other occupant of the room, she froze.

The Hyuuga was right, this girl was special, and was definitely one of a kind. The bride to be was his Sakura…

End Recap…

Hyuuga Neji narrowed his eyes, when he saw the slight error in her graceful demeanour. Why did she freeze?

Seeing her fiancé's inquiring gaze, she quickly straightened and smile towards the hated man. "Hello, you must be Uchiha-san. Neji has told me plenty about you. My name is Haruno Sakura, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." She tentatively stretched out her hand, awaiting his response.

Sasuke froze. Uchiha-san? What is that? Since when did Sasuke-kun become Uchiha-san? Why would she call him, Uchiha-san after all they'd been through? They nearly married each other for god's sake! I thought we were on a first name basis?

"No Haruno-san, the pleasure's all mine." He shook her hand slowly, but grimaced, when he saw her relief that he had played along. Did she really want to forget everything? Even the fact that they'd ever met?

"I hope you'll be able to join, in celebration of our wedding." She smiled brightly at him. I am happy now, please don't ruin it Sasuke!

"Sakura… You haven't given him an invitation? Sasuke's going to need one if he's to attend." He reproved her gently.

She blushed prettily at her mistake. "Oh forgive me, I seem to forget a lot these days." She rummaged in her purse, before producing a pearly white envelope. "Here, I hope you'll be able to grace us with your presence that day, Uchiha-sama."

From the joyous Bride and Groom to be…

His heart fell after reading the envelope, she really had moved on.

"Neji, Haruno-san, please excuse-me. I have another meeting to attend to. It was a pleasure to meet you Haruno-san." He nodded to them both before exiting the room.

He was breathing in short raspy breaths as he neared his office. He quickly collapsed into a chair, and had a few deep breaths. Before dialling a familiar number for help. He would've never believed that one day he would be ringing this number for help.

Ring Ring

"Moshi! Moshi!"

"Naruto… she's… getting married…" He rasped out as he desperately tried to comprehend the situation.

"Sasuke? What? How do you know? SASUKE! Answer me! Stay there, I'll come get you!" Naruto yelled desperately. But Sasuke was no longer listening he quickly hung up. And just concentrated on trying to breathe. This wasn't supposed to happen! He didn't mean for it to end this way? How could she get married? Sakura, belonging to another man?

Back in Neji's room:

"Sakura?"

"Hmmm?"

"Have you met Uchiha Sasuke before?"

Sakura felt her face heat up, at Neji's suspicious tone.

"N.N.No! I've just heard of him, from a lot of acquaintances. He's famous for being a bad boy!"

"Is that all?"

"Y.Y.Yes!"

"You know, he tells me, he's been tamed once. By a beautiful woman."

"Is that so? I heard that he was a big stupid jerk, who cheated on the beautiful woman!"

"Sakura…Were you the beautiful woman?"

"I…I…"

"I thought so…"

"How did you know?"

"You guys were doing too well. You both were too polite, and he is Uchiha Sasuke. Politeness isn't really his forte. The performance was too perfect to be called true."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You were insistent on merging with the Uchiha Company. I didn't want to influence your plans. I also didn't want you to think less of me."

"And why would I think less of you?"

"I understand very well, your opinion of Sasuke Uchiha. I was engaged to him. A man known for his love of women, and their assets. I had supposedly tamed him, and yet he cheated on me with a woman far prettier, but of much less intelligence than I. If I were you, I would rethink marrying such a foolish person."

"You made a mistake Sakura, I'm not going to cancel our marriage because of the past. What's done is done. That was before you met me, I can't do anything to change that fact."

"Oh Neji, you are so sweet."

"Though I should thank the Uchiha."

"Why?"

"Because, without his help. I would've never found you!" She smiled gently at him and brought her mouth close to his. Their lips formed to make a perfect kiss.

The kiss started to heat up, as they moved closer together. With Sakura's hands tangled in Neji's silky brown locks. And Neji's hands slowly undoing the buttons of her top.

Until they heard a CRASH! BAM! "LET ME THROUGH! HE NEEDS HELP QUICK!" Following, there were a series of thuds, crashes, the smashing of wood, and many curses.

Sakura and Neji rushed out of the room. What greeted their eyes, surprised them to say the least.
