Author: Hello! Thank you for reviewing! You are really awesome, and I never thought you guys would like it. I even had second thoughts in posting this story, but I was like "Okay, whatever. Here it goes…" then I published it. And I am so happy you guys are liking it, and reviewing (please keep reviewing!). Karin is our bad girl here again, but…she won't be that much of a bother than she was a my other story.

This is Chapter One

In every chapter of this story, you will notice a paragraph in Italics after disclaimer and the header, these are something like recaps or memories going on in Sasuke's head, even this story isn't told in his POV, it has its uses, since the title is "The BodyGuard" and that's him….

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto or any of its characters XD

.The BodyGuard.

CHAPTER 1:
"Fan Girl Problems"

"This is your first mission Sasuke. And I have great faith in you…" Itachi said as he patted his younger brother's shoulder "I know the trainers and the teachers here taught you well for years, and I know that when you were younger, Father wanted you to work in the company, well this is your first step…"

"I know that."

"Well, I have to remind you of a couple of things. First: As a bodyguard, you should never lose sight of her. Second: Protect her at all times, and never let your guard down, know about her friends, enemies, and anyone that could become a threat. And last the easiest one for you since you do not have those capabilities, the third one: Do not develop feelings, she's just an assignment, never get attached or anything…never fall in love…got it?" Itachi said, looking at him, searching his face for any signs of disagreement.

But he found none.

A horn was honking outside the Haruno mansion, by the sound, the driver was impatient. Who was it waiting for? Sakura Haruno. Sakura rolled her eyes at the honking horn outside as she finished dressing up for school "Geez. Who the heck is honking out there? It's getting annoying…" she muttered as she fixed her hair with a ponytail, leaving a few strands on one side of her face. She was wearing a simple white tank top; with a body fit green sweater, showing her curves nicely. If not necessary, Sakura doesn't dress grand like the other rich girls around do; she prefers to preserve her nice clothes for special occasions that annoyed Ino.

"Saku, you should wear these clothes! Look at these clothes you have!" said Ino looking through her closet "You are such a waste, those "special occasions" crap you're telling me only happen once or twice a year…and these nice clothes of yours is good for a WHOLE year!"

"Nah, leave them be…" said Sakura shrugging, shooing Ino away from her closet "Leave my clothes alone…"

She was snapped back to reality when the sound of the horn honking got really, really annoying. "Who the hell is that? He's giving everyone hell!" she exclaimed as she heard her phone ring, she grabbed it from her table and answered it "Hello?"

"Where the hell are you?!" Sasuke shouted through the phone, that made Sakura pull it away from her ear.

"Eh, why do you care?" said Sakura as she yelled back on the phone. Take that you bastard, she thought as she smiled with satisfaction "And why do you ask?" she added curiously.

"Down your house, the honking car you can hear. You better get down here, your neighbors aren't liking the noise…I don't really care about them, but I know you do…" said Sasuke, his sounded annoyed "I'm giving you a ride, so hurry up and get your ass here, 2 minutes or you're dead."

Then after that, he hung up on her. So he was the honking car? Sakura rolled her eyes, it had been 3 days since she and the Uchiha "started over" to develop a better friendship. That was Friday, and it was Monday, looks like the Uchiha wasn't joking when he said that they would start over, but even though they were "friends", what just happened tells Sakura that he will still be a bastard that he is to her.

She and the Uchiha never really got along, ever. This "start over" thing that they did was making Sakura think what would become of it.

She grabbed her backpack, and ran downstairs. There she found Yosuke, her dad's assistant, who was sitting on one of the couches in the living room, which was located in the right side of the main floor. He looked up from his laptop saw her, and Sakura gave him a little wave. "Haruno-sama—eh, Sakura-chan, should I call your driver?" he asked, his voice slightly rose since they were in two different parts of the house.

"No, give him a day off and tell my dad that Sasuke's giving me a ride to school…" said Sakura as she put on her black boots with stiletto heels, getting ready to go outside and face the Uchiha "And Yosuke-kun?" she added, glancing once more to the assistant.

"Yes?"

"Keep working on calling me Sakura, you're doing great!" she said as she winked at him and went out of the mansion. Yosuke was like her brother, he used to be their neighbor when they weren't very wealthy yet, and when his mother fell ill, Sakura's family helped Yosuke's family and cured his mother's sickness, and after that, when he was old enough, Yosuke volunteered to work for the company to return the kindness of the Harunos to his family.

She hopped on the passenger's seat of Sasuke's Mercedes, and buckled up her seatbelt. She looked at the Uchiha who was seriously annoyed.

"You're 30 seconds late."

"30 seconds my ass…" she muttered as she rolled her eyes at the Uchiha "What's up with you and time anyways, it was only 30 seconds…does it matter? And who are you to boss me around? My dad? My bodyguard? Wait, a bodyguard follows me around, not boss me around…"

"Whatever…" he muttered Damn, she's annoying, of all assignments…why her? Why me? He thought as he drove out of the mansion and to the school.

"I have a question."

He turned for a second, and then turned back to the road "What?" he asked, still annoyed and a bit reluctant to answer, but he did so.

"Why are you giving me a ride?"

Sasuke paused for a second "I felt like it…" he answered after a while, as an undercover, he needs to make it look as natural as possible. Haruno had been through many undercover bodyguards, and she knew what they are like, and he has to accomplish his tasks without being too obvious that Haruno would start to become suspicious "And we're starting over, aren't we? Well, as a friend, these things are one of my acts of kindness towards you, very out-of-character of me, yes. But suck it up, and deal with it…" he added.

"Bad mood much, are you PMS-ing? Had a drink last night?" she asked as she crossed her arms.

"Haruno?"

"Yeah?"

He stopped the car on the side of the road, and looked at her. Slowly, he leaned to her side of the car, his face getting closer to hers, Sakura on the other hand, didn't know what to do, she was blushing mad. Even though Sasuke was guy that she really didn't like, but his handsome face, leaning to hers was making her blush.

"Can you shut up, for once?" he said as he neared her face.

That broke the moment that Sakura thought would happen, he sat back properly, and started driving again. And Sakura kept quiet for the rest of the whole ride to school.

* * *

They arrived at school, and Sakura received glares from his fangirls, if she was an average teen going to school with Sasuke Uchiha, she'd be dead by now, but with the power of wealth, she is untouchable, except for those who try to cross the line. She is quite vulnerable without bodyguards, she had none for three days straight now, her dad really forgot, and it made Sakura really happy.

No bodyguards, and earned a new friend, now isn't that nice? She thought, even though in her head she was trying to deny the fact that the friend that she just got was such a bastard.

They reached the classroom, and she sat on her usual spot, with Sasuke beside her, and then her phone beeped, indicating that she received a new message, she took her Blackberry out of her pocket and saw that the message was from Ino.

To: Sakura
From: Ino

Forehead! Saw you with the Uchiha when you walked in the school, the fangirls aren't really happy about it. But they couldn't do anything to you, haha, go girl! Oh and how did that happen? Since you stepped inside this very school, you and Sasuke just made World War 3, clashing at each other, talk about bad compatibility, and then now I see you, here, hanging out with him…are you guys going out? That's what I've been hearing…

Public eye destroys, that's what Sakura's thinking right now. Ah, the world, the fame, they'll stereotype you without even asking what the real thing between you and a certain person, they'll just assume right away and make a rumour spread out in seconds.

Great, now everyone thinks we're going out. Sakura thought, sighing, and well she had to clear off this rumor before another one pops up and intrigues everyone. So she replied back to Ino:

To: Ino
From: Sakura

Nothing. Absolutely nothing is going on between me and this bastard sitting beside me. In fact, he was the one who offered a truce and start over and try to become friends. Then this morning, he was honking the horn of his car outside our house, then called me, shouting at me, telling me he's giving me a ride, and to come out in 2 minutes or else I'm dead…he is so fucking impatient. I don't know if I'll consider his actions nice or not…

But I know two things that will never change, one: he will always be a bastard, two: he'll always think that I'm annoying…

She looked at Ino who was sitting two tables across from them and saw her reach for her phone. Ino read her message, and glanced at the cherry blossom, giving her an I'll-talk-to-you-later look as the teacher came in, and began blabbing out the lesson for today.

"Forehead, let's talk." said Ino as she settled down her food tray, sitting across of Sakura, who was eating her lunch quietly "What's the real ting between you two?"

"Friends…I think." Said Sakura as she stabbed a piece of meat with her fork, and ate it "I don't know if I can call that friends or…just a truce…" she added with a shrug at the same time.

"Because the Fangirls ain't happy…" said Ino as she sipped from her juice box, shaking her head, her eyes at the rosette "Especially Karin…the most obsessed of them all…"

"I know that—ugh, what have I gotten myself into?" she muttered, gripping her fork tightly.

"Don't worry, you're the richest girl here…" said Ino, giving her a reassuring glance, with a smile to match "And having that status, you are absolutely untouchable…"

"Eh, that was when I had a bodyguard…" said Sakura, rolling her eyes "But now I don't…I can't believe I actually missed having one…"

"So? Kill them with your stilettos!" said Ino, making Sakura roll her eyes once more and laugh "No really, show them what you've got with or without a bodyguard…"

The girls continued to chat, but little did Sakura know, Sasuke was watching her as he got some food to his tray, As a bodyguard, you should never lose sight of her Itachi's voice reminded him in his head as he walked, holding his tray with both of his hands, his eyes scanned the whole room, looking for suspicious beings, especially the ones mentioned in her file. None of the said people were making a move on her, which made Sasuke think that this job would be easy.

"Sasuke." A voice said in a low whisper, he glanced beside him to see Ayame standing right beside him, her eyes on Sakura, studying her "I overheard Itachi-boring talking about your assignment…" she began to say "So she's it?" she said, jerking her head to Sakura's direction "What rotten luck, you never liked her…"

"She's annoying, like you." said Sasuke "I don't know how long I have to guard that idiot, but I am don't like it, she's annoying, and-"

"And don't complain." said Ayame, nudging his arm "Just keep thinking it's your job, and nothing personal, plus, if your job's done you can ditch her, and like she'll care…"

"Hn." said Sasuke as he left Ayame standing there.

"Well, I'll be alright with the Fangirls as long as he doesn't sit-" said Sakura as she saw Sasuke sit beside her, settling his tray down the table "Beside me…" she finished, with the Uchiha looking at her, arcing an eyebrow.

"Problem, Haruno?"

"N-Nothing." Sakura said, she greeted her doom when he sat down beside her, and after that, she wasn't comfortable eating anymore. She looked around the cafeteria with her emerald eyes and saw his fan girls giving her glares of death. She looked down to her plate, avoiding their gaze, at school, she tries to be normal, even though in her mind she knew that with the power she holds, she could shoo away those fan girls…even expel them.

But Sakura was nice.

"Keep eating then…" replied Sasuke, taking his fork, eating a slice of tomato that was on top of his steak, he studied her with his eyes, something was bothering her…wait, why would he care? His job was only to be her bodyguard, and not more than that.

"Okay…" she said, her voice was low, like a whisper.

…know about her friends… Itachi's voice reminded him once more.

He looked at Ino, who was looking at him, with the same examining eyes that he held once he looked at her. Yamanaka was a tricky one, she knows almost everyone in the school, information about them, she was like a stalker in a way, and she knows everything, except for him and Ayame, the Uchihas. Since they were very secretive, and little is only known about them.

"Yamanaka."

"Uchiha."

"Hn."

"Hmph."

If this were a Manga, they would be drawn, facing each other, their eyes connected by a laser that clashed in the middle. But this wasn't a manga, and they were staring at each other as if trying to get something out of one another.

"What do you want with Sakura?"

"I simply wanted a truce…" said Sasuke coolly, as he broke the eye contact he had with Ino and resumed eating his food "Is that wrong?"

"It seems, suspicious…"

"Hn. Knock your brains off with false theories…" said Sasuke, shrugging, glancing at Ino, then Sakura, who remained silent after his little talk with her. Then suddenly, a piece of paper was flying aimed towards Sakura's direction, with his training, Sasuke caught in on time before it hit her head.

Never let your guard down…

That sudden action made Ino more suspicious, thus, confirming her theory of what his intention really is, but of course, Sasuke knew that too. Sakura jumped when she felt something was behind her head, then saw Sasuke's hand, holding a piece of paper, catching it before it fall on her head.

"Holy shit!" said Sakura as her eyes widened, looking at the paper, then to Sasuke. Sasuke laid the paper on the table, and opened it, revealing a small rock that if it hit Sakura, would cause a small wound on her head.

"Hn." Said Sasuke as he examined the rock, then glanced to Sakura "Looks like someone's mad at you…" he said, holding the rock, tossing it up and down the air.

Sakura took the paper the rock was wrapped with and there was a message written in red lipstick:

Watch Your Back Haruno…

Sakura gulped. She earned one friend, but she also earned enemies, not just one, but a whole horde of Sasuke fan girls, who aren't pleased at all. They knew she wasn't the type who would expel people when they bug her, and with that she was vulnerable, making her someone not to be really afraid of. She looked at Sasuke, and arched an eyebrow "How did you get that so fast?" she asked, curious.

Author: Not much, yes. But that's how Chapter One will be, still interesting...like a door to conflicts...anyways...REVIEW please! I promise that Chapter 2 will satisfy you!!!!!

Chapter 2: Watch Your Back, Sakura.

Having fangirls as your enemies aren't really what Sakura had in mind. Just how far will the fangirls take it?
Instead of protecting her, Sasuke gave her more trouble...

"Sasuke-kun?"
"Yes?"
"Thank You..."
"Hn."

It's my job.
