-11:24am- Sasuke's city penthouse-

Sasuke sat in the same chair Tsunade had left him sitting in only now it was moved closer to the bed side. He had stayed up all night not that it bothered him to be checking on the mystery woman while he went from his bedroom to his office which was out by the living room. Even with someone to babysit he still had business to handle both legal and not legal.

His city flat was large and spacious when guests first walked into his flat the open floor plan gave the sense of openness. The main entertainment area had floor to ceiling windows with couches and armchairs scattered fashionably around the large flat screen television that was barely used. In the further back of the room was the large kitchen with black countertops and stainless steel appliances along with a bar that was used to have dinner on instead of a dinner table taking up space. To the right of the entrance was a hallway that leads to two bedrooms and a spare bathroom, next to the hall way sat two large dark oak doors opened wide where his office was. The entire apartment had light colored furniture and walls complimented with dark hardwood floors. His flat screamed elegance and high quality with a hint of sophistication and laziness.

Sasuke took one more look at the women before the distant ringing of his office phone blared to life filling the previously silent penthouse, he got up and moved to the door turning to check on the woman and to make sure his black curtains were shut allowing her to sleep in peace. Sasuke made his way down the hall turning to the right entering his large office. He reached his mahogany desk and glared at the phone before picking it up.

"Uchiha." Sasuke answered the phone with a deep irritated voice that was almost a growl.

"Well good morning to you to bastard." Sasuke almost hung up on the caller knowing full well who it was.

"Naruto if you are not reporting anything useful to me I will make sure you spend the next three days checking on our low life dealers." Sasuke said with a threatening tone.

"Yea well you can stop threatening me because I do have something important to report." Naruto said with his professional tone letting Sasuke know he was getting to business. That was the thing with all his really close associates they knew when to play and work Naruto especially, even though at times he could be annoying and seem distracted when time came Naruto was all business and Sasuke's second in command after Kakashi.

Naruto continued his report, "Tsunade called me at the ass crack of dawn to yell at me about stupid stuff and then told me to call you and let you know about some blood sample results. She said to tell you that the drug is some sort of muscle relaxer, and the effects wear off between twelve to twenty four hours depending on the person. Tsunade said that with the injuries sustained and not knowing the patient well enough she couldn't guess when they would wake."

After Naruto finished a slight smile graced Sasuke's face as he thought about the mystery woman possibly waking up soon, but as quickly as the smile came it vanished as Naruto switched his smartass switch back on.

"So teme Kakashi told us about last night and how big bad Sasuke Uchiha played knight in shining armor." Naruto was laughing at the other end of the phone.

"Shut it dobe. Make sure the daily rounds get done and pay a visit to Goggles down at his garage see if he has anything on the new drug that has been circulating through the main family cities." Sasuke heard a small whine from Naruto.

"Oh come on why do I have to go visit Konohamaru the last time I was there he spent an hour trying to tell me how he is better than me and should be your right hand instead of me. Can I do a few of the rounds with the other guys and send Kiba instead?" Naruto asked in whining child voice.

"Hn. Fine I don't care how it gets done just do it. And stop complaining about Goggles trying to show you up, because you and everyone else know how the positions work so calm down Naruto." With that Sasuke hung up the phone while he used his other hand to pinch the bridge of his nose to try and ward off the oncoming headache from the idiotic nonsense Naruto fussed over he could act like a child when he wanted to.

Sasuke went back to his bedroom to check on his charge and found she was still in a sound sleep so he turned to leave in hope of making himself something to eat.

In the kitchen he went to the large double door fridge and looked in to find only a few things inside because he had been spending a lot of spare tie recently at his family's office further uptown doing the fiancés to run the company as well as make sure things on the street we still monitored. With a tired sigh he shut the door and decided on coffee instead. He would have to send his maid out to pick up some odds and ends before she came to tidy up the flat at around five.

As the coffee started its slow process Sasuke walked back to his room. He was going to enter when he leaned against the door frame instead crossing his arms over his chest as his sheets began to move more than usual and a small groan emitted from the bed. This was what he had been waiting for since last night. After a moment of silence he slowly walked more into the room standing near the side of the bed.

As Sakura shifted more her body screamed in painful protest making her more awake. She instantly stilled when she looked around the room and noticed the room was too nice and the bed too comfy to be considered a motel room. Her body moved on its own putting her in an upright sitting position, but as soon as the motion ended she regretted even waking up. The memories of yesterday came back with a slap as her vision slowly steadied out and the room no longer swam or moved.

Her body immediately tensed on high alert for the two men from last night to attack her. She was so caught up in searching the room for her attackers and looking for a way to escape she didn't register the tall man standing to her right.

"You shouldn't move to quickly yet the drug those idiots used on you is probably still lingering in your system for a little while longer." Sakura turned her head to her right way to fast and her vision swam again she closed her eyes in an attempt to subdue her pain filled body. The alcohol was kicking her with a vengeance and with the drug still tapping at her motor functions she felt weak and scared as the man spoke to her, but with her fighting instincts on alert she wasn't going down without a fight. With her eyes still closed her slow brain was processing his voice it was so familiar she thought for a moment before it came to her. The deep godlike voice sounded just like the person from last night before she completely blacked out.

The edge of the bed dipped and with her body still on alert she opened her eyes and this time slowly turned her head so she was facing straight ahead again. Her breath caught as she took in the man now sitting down by her feet with a blank look.

The man had jet black hair that spiked up in the back with onyx eyes to match. With the room somewhat dark it was hard to make out all of his features but from what she could tell he had sharp features that included his strong jaw line and high cheek bones his light skin tone added to his beauty. Her eyes traveled a little lower to take in his crimson dress shirt and loosened black tie her doctor vision kicked in and she could tell that under those clothes was a sculpted body with strong muscle and smooth skin. The man seemed almost godlike with his perfect features his aura demanded respect and gave off a sense of pride and elegance.

At the same time Sasuke watched her take in his form he took in her eye color a soft green that complimented her pink hair and soft light skin even with the small bruises and cuts she was still beautiful. She continued to stare at him and vice versa until he decided that he needed to know her name.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. The men who attacked you were dealt with and I brought you here to my flat where a good friend of mine took steps to give you medical attention. Please don't fear me you are safe and I am willing to do what I can to help you, I'm not here to harm you by any means." As his deep voice filled the silence Sakura had stiffened and a look of being scared flashed through her eyes before determination was set in its place. Sasuke mentally winced seeing how his voice had shocked her but he was also glad to see that this woman seemed strong and confident as her eyes looked like they turned a shade darker.

There was a long moment of silence again as they stared at each other before Sakura figured it was her turn to break the silence.

"Why?" Sakura asked thankful her voice came out steadier then she felt. In the back of her mind scenarios of how this situation could get ugly was running a marathon through her thoughts not at all helping her throbbing head. This Sasuke Uchiha had helped a total stranger yet from what she had observed within the last few moments this man seemed to come from wealth and power a conclusion she had made when she woke up earlier, so why would he help her? What was she going to do now that she owed this man? She hadn't even been in Konoha for twenty four hours or at least she thought that was how long she was here.

Sasuke's breathing had stopped momentarily as he took in the woman's voice. It was as he had expected, it was soft yet strong it matched her perfectly.

"Why did you help a total stranger I mean excuse me for assuming anything but you seem like you normally wouldn't have anything to do with someone of I guess you could say lower class." Sakura asked while still holding Sasuke's stare.

"For someone who just woke up after being attacked you make a questionable assumption. You say you are of lower class which in my opinion is irrelevant to things right now I have seen low class and I don't categorize you as such. But back to the original question though, I helped you because one I wasn't about to let a women bleed out in an alley way of my city, and two because even though I have never met or seen you before in my life I hope to possibly get to know you and help if need be. Now it's my turn to be excused, you seem to be a strong independent woman who happened to experience the less desirable side of Konoha." Sasuke finished with a small smirk as the women continued to stare at him but with a look of confusion on her face. Her expression then turned to a look of thought before she knew what she happened her mouth had opened and began to blabber.

"I don't know you and you don't know me. In all honesty I just moved into the city last night so I am completely lost when it comes to everything. I have things I need to put in order to establish myself but I could really use some sort of guide to adjust to how this city works." As soon as her mouth decided it was finished she was mentally slapping herself. "What the hell just happened? Who in their right mind tells a complete stranger stuff like that? God these drugs and hangover are really getting the best of me. I will never get that drunk again ever." A look of shock was on her face as she argued with herself.

Sasuke lifted his brow slightly in surprise he was not at all expecting the woman to be so honest and straight forward. He smirked as his curiosity was peeked again, it was official he was going to get to know this women and with the new information he could do that goal by simply being "nice to the new kid" so to speak and help her accomplish her own needs.

Still smirking Sasuke spoke, "Well since you seem to be very honest at the moment I can help you out. I own and maintain a lot of the city because my family has history within Konoha; in fact my family was a founding family when Konoha was first established a long time ago. Well since you seem more awake and the after effects of the drug slowly working out of your body I promise to help you out. But you have to agree to my terms." Sasuke said as he stood and gave her a calculating look.

"And what might they might be?" Sakura asked slowly.

"You have to tell me your name and agree to us getting to know each other better."

There was a silence as Sakura looked down at the bed in thought as Sasuke made his way to the door.

"Sakura Haruno. And fine."

Sasuke stopped in his tracks half way through the door. He was surprised he hadn't expected her to agree so suddenly he thought she would have thought about throughout the day or something. He turned back at the woman and crossed his arms over his broad chest with a pleased small smile he not only got what he had hoped for but he also knew his beauty's name. Sakura was still looking down at the bed making her hair fall forward.

"Well then Ms. Sakura Haruno welcome to Konoha. How may I be of service to you so far this morning?"

Sakura looked up to see Sasuke with a sexy smirk on his handsome face while his body held a look of arrogant success. She slowly moved the covers so that she could stand but as soon as she moved to stand at her full height her knees buckled sending her toward the hardwood floor she closed her eyes waiting for her already bruised knee caps to make contact, but the pain never came. Instead a strong but gentle grip as on her arms held her as her forehead made contact with a firm object.

Slowly she opened her eyes to see the color crimson and concluded that it was Sasuke's dress shirt. Sitting back on her heels trying to steady her balance she saw that Sasuke was holding her up. She didn't know how he had moved that efficiently to catch her but in the back of her mind she was glad.

Sasuke had been walking back toward Sakura before she even tried to stand so it didn't take long to close the gap of space before her legs gave out. He looked down at her as she slowly met his gaze. She looked thankful while his eyes had a look of concern.

"Maybe I should start by helping you to the kitchen so you can eat something." Sakura nodded.

They both shifted accordingly so that her arm was around his waist for support and most of her body weight was leaned on him. Sasuke had one hand on her shoulder while the other gripped her hand that snaked the back of his waist.

Unconsciously both Sakura and Sasuke noticed the height difference. Sakura was only five foot while Sasuke was almost six foot. Sakura could have rested her head on his shoulder comfortably but decided against it and concentrated on walking.

After feeling satisfied with how they were positioned Sasuke began to move them toward the door.

As Sakura's foot lifted and then set back down on the ground for her first step she winced locking up her body as a wave of fresh pain sliced through her. Not only did her senses remind her of her sore body but the headache she was still sporting because of the hangover all hit her at once.

Sasuke stopped and stared at Sakura with serious concern. They had only taken one step before she winced and locked up on him refusing to move for a moment. He watched helplessly as the beautiful pink haired women struggled with an internal battle of pain.

"What happened? What's wrong?" Sasuke asked in a rushed but calm voice even though on the inside his was concerned. Sakura shook her head while she bit her lip as the pain reduced.

"I'm fine I just need some Tylenol, food, a mirror and a flash light. The last part she laughed at trying to turn it into a joke.

"Hm. Listen seeing how you barely made one step do I have you permission to carry you out to the kitchen?" Sasuke would normally do as he pleased and just pick her up without her permission, but with Sakura he wanted to be gentle as to get this relationship in a sense started the best way.

If anyone else were here they might have dropped to the floor hearing Sasuke ask permission, because in all honestly it was very unlike him.

Sakura silently debated the choice of suffering an unknown distance to the kitchen or get carried making the trip faster. The decision was obvious but she was a little unsure as she spoke because she and Sasuke were still strangers to one another, but during the short window of time she had ended up in his personal space.

"Um, yea that would be appreciated. I'm sorry that within this short amount of time how I have been a burden." Sakura finished as she turned to stare up at Sasuke with an apologetic look.

Sasuke just shook his head while meeting her gaze, "Don't apologize you have done nothing wrong and I told you I would be pleased to help you in anyway." As he finished his body moved accordingly so that within a few second he had literally swiped Sakura off her feet and into his arms all the while they held each other's gaze.

Sakura let out a breath as Sasuke shifted her more in his arms. Her one arm lay around his shoulder while the other lay in her lap as Sasuke began walking toward the door holding her bridal style. In his opinion she weighted next to nothing.

Walking down the long hallway Sasuke took in her natural scent with one deep breath cinnamon and vanilla teased his nose and he enjoyed it, he also noted how just like the rest of her the scent was a contradiction.

Sakura was doing the same as Sasuke as they walked through the penthouse. Sakura noted how Sasuke smelt of faint cologne, leather, and earth. It strangely fit him even during their short time Sakura could tell that he was the type of person to have two sides. He was strong like leather but could relax and adjust to fit new situations like the earth.

As Sasuke walked into the main living space and kitchen Sakura was in awe as she took in the rich elegance of the place. Sasuke sat her on a bar stool and told her to wait a moment while her grabbed a few things from the bathroom. She nodded still taking in the place while her hand moved to hair where it made contact with a section clumped together, looking at the end of hair she say it was dried blood bringing the memoires of last night back full force. A tear rolled down her cheek as she began to process how her dress was torn and the blood was in her hair. "Things could have been a lot worse last night; I could have died if it wasn't for Sasuke."

Sasuke came back out of the hallway holding two Tylenol, a small mirror, and a thin flashlight. He looked over to Sakura who was still where he had left her, but her body was sagged as she held the end of her long hair looking at it. Even though he was on the other side of the room he slowly moved toward her and saw a lone tear run down her cheek she must have been in deep thought because when he set the items on the counter she didn't move. He kept his eyes on her as he laid his hand on her shoulder which snapped her from her trace. She looked up at whim while quickly dropping her hair and wiping away the tear that was already long gone.

With her out of the trance like state he moved around the bar to the sink where he grabbed a tall glass and filled it with water.

Sakura watched him momentarily seeing how even with the dress shirt she could still make out his taunt muscles as the moved flawlessly, she quickly moved her gaze to the items on the counter before he caught her enjoying him as eye candy. She giggled lightly looking at the things she had requested earlier. To think her actually gave her a flash light and mirror.

When Sakura giggled Sasuke's muscles tightened at the angelic sound, truly a sweet sounding laugh that suited her. Looking up he now saw what had created the opportunity of her joy. It was the mirror and flashlight that she now held in her hands.

Sakura turned on her doctor mode as she flashed the light into her eyes and watched for dilation in her reflection. With a sigh she put down the objects, she had been right she did have a stupid concussion once again reminding her of last night.

The heightened pain and hangover was mainly because those men had been rough. Sakura took the Tylenol and drank the whole glass of water as Sasuke watched her before turning to the fridge for food. Sasuke began to make omelet s for both of them glancing out the corner of his eye while at the stove to see Sakura had gone silent and was staring at the counter.

"Thank you Sasuke." Sakura spoke quietly her voice filled with multiple emotions. Sasuke plated the two omelets and began his way over to the bar so he could sit next to Sakura and eat, but as he heard her small voice he knew exactly what she was referring to. She wasn't just thanking him for this morning but also for saving her from those street rat assholes. The thought of them brought back feelings of hate and annoyance.

"Hn. I would do it again for you in a moment though Sakura. Something about you intrigues me in all honesty and I wish that we will be able to consider each other friends in the future." Sasuke said as he set down the plates and grabbed milk for them both before grabbing silverware and sitting next to Sakura.

She looked up at him in surprise before she offered a genuine smile.

"Well that was what we agreed upon if I remember correctly." Sakura was happy for the first time in over a week someone had just admitted to her that they were looking out for her and wanted to solidify their friendship.

In the back of both their minds though something was driving Sasuke and Sakura slowly closer to what they didn't know but for right now they were happy.

"And since I'm a doctor you can always come to me if you need help. If you are going to help me I will gladly help you in return." Sakura said as she took a bite of the omelet.

"Dr. Haruno. Hm rolls off the tongue nicely. Makes sense though how you gave yourself a checkup." Sasuke said with a soft smile

Just as Sakura was about to say something else Sasuke's penthouse door opened followed by a hoot. Sasuke didn't even need to turn around to know that Kakashi and Naruto had arrived to most likely report on his demands from earlier this morning.

"Oi Sasuke bast-" Naruto stopped midsentence taking in that Sasuke was sitting at the bar with his back facing away from him as someone with pink hair winced in pain.

Sasuke saw Sakura wince from Naruto's loudness and he snapped. Getting off the bar stool as quick as lightening he made a B line to where Naruto was and he grabbed his suite giving him the most death filled glare he could.

Using the Uchiha glare as his weapon he spoke, "Naruto for once keep your voice down and behave." He looked from Naruto to Kakashi who stood lazily next to the door before finishing in a low threatening voice that promised pain "If you have something to report both of you can go wait in my office while I help her. Understood." It was more of a demand then question. When Kakashi began a slow pace to the office and Naruto apologized to Sasuke before following Kakashi into the office.

Sasuke took a deep breath and turned to head back to Sakura who was looking at the men standing in his office now.

"I'm sorry about my associates' loudness they usually just walk in. They seem to have forgotten I had a guest." Sasuke raised his voice near the end making sure Naruto could hear him.

Sakura waved a hand dismissively saying it was okay.

"I don't have any clothes but is it possible for me to take a shower?" She asked

Sasuke nodded, "Yea if you can give me your sizes for the things you need I could have clothes delivered her within ten minutes."

Sakura gave a shy smile before looking around and found a pen and note pad she quickly wrote down sizes and then folded the sheet handing it to Sasuke.

"Anything else I could do?"

"Well if it's a hassle to have spare clothes delivered I have a duffel bag full in my car over at the motel I was supposed to stay at."

"If you trust me enough I could send loud mouth in there to pick up your car and bring them back here, but the spare clothes is no hassle." Sasuke motioned toward the office when he mentioned loud mouth.

Sakura nodded and jumped off the bar stool more confident her body could function with food in her stomach. Sasuke saw her eyes light with determination as she walked a few feet closer to Sasuke. Sasuke looked at the clock in the kitchen seeing it was 11:56am and turned back to face Sakura.

Sasuke knew what she was waiting for.

"Down the hall you can use the bedroom's attached bathroom so you can change more privately. Basic toiletries are in the shower, I will have them deliver your clothes to my room along with a few other things. After they leave the bedroom door will be shut so you can change in my room. I will check on you in a half hour if the bedroom door is still closed." Sasuke finished while Sakura made her way toward the hall.

Sasuke then went into his office closing the doors as his associates sat in silence waiting for permission to speak. Instead he called up one of the women at the front desk to come pick up sizes for a clothing delivery that was to be made to his bedroom. The woman agreed saying she was on her way up as Sasuke hung up and looked at the two men in front of him.

Naruto sat to his left slouched in the chair managing to somewhat wrinkle his suit that included a black jacket with a dark orange dress shirt and black tie that had the Uchiha family symbol pinned to it. The man had unruly blonde hair with a tanned complexion, on each cheek was three identical scars making him appear to have whiskers. Sasuke mentally shivered remembering how Naruto had earned those scars.

Sasuke shifted his gaze to Kakashi on his right with one leg perched on his knee as he flipped the page of an orange book. Everyone knew well what was written on those pages and it wasn't for anyone under the age of twenty. Kakashi wore black pants and a jacket, his shirt was a light blue with a black tie and Uchiha family pin just like Naruto. Kakashi's hair was a dark grey some was parted so that it covered his scar on his left eye.

"Now. Tell me what was so important that you had to come screaming into my flat." Sasuke sat back behind his big mahogany desk and reclined into his comfy leather chair waiting for one of the men to begin.

Meanwhile Sakura was taking in the beautiful bathroom. The floor was black granite with small flakes of red. The sink had a glass counter with a golden faucet and bowl, the walls white. The towels that were stacked on a rack were white, black, blue, or red matching the rest of large bathroom.

The shower could probably fit three people comfortably the tub was a large jet tub that could fit two people with some room to spare. Sakura started the water to the shower and steam quickly filled the room, as she slowly stepped into the hot spray he muscles loosened.

After the shower she dried off wrapping the towel securely around her as she peeked her head out the door to find that just like Sasuke had said the bedroom door was closed and there were items lying on the disheveled bed.

Seeing that Sasuke had more than clothes delivered Sakura saw what else lay on the bed which was a blow drier and comb. Sakura saw that all the clothing was the sizes she had written down. A light blue dress and white six inch heels were on the bed along with her under garments.

Finally putting on the outfit noting how it hugged her body nicely she let her long now dry hair flow down her back naturally. She loved having naturally straight hair it made it easier to maintain. Finishing up her final touches she walked back out to the main living area her new white heels clacked on the hardwood. She walked to the large window in the living room that over looked Konoha her new home.

Author's Note: Alright there's chapter two a little slow for my taste but things will get there just bear with me. As the story continues the drug that Sasuke is talking about will play a big role in how the story develops. Don't worry Team 7 is not the only people in the story I plan to incorporate as many people as possible it just takes time. Anyways hoped you enjoyed leave a comment or review, side not I might not have a new chapter up for a few days because I have a busy schedule but don't fret.

Thanks again and until chapter three good byes for now.
