Chapter 2
Dinner
"I guess I just couldn't help myself," Sakura smirked even though she couldn't see the person behind her; she knew he was smirking as well. Her voice was softer and more provocative than normal. She spun around in the museum to come face to face with the hero of the city. A smirk adorned what was seen of his handsome face and complimented his raven locks. The trench coat he wore hid his eyes and most of his other features.
"Maybe I could help you to put it back," Sasuke offered. His voice was deeper than usual (thanks to his designs he couldn't afford to have his voice recogniser pick up his voice).
"Sorry, I like it and I think I want to keep it," Sakura was behind him in an instant. She stood on her toes to reach his ear. "Although, if you can keep up for a while I might just reconsider."
"Keep up?" Sasuke was behind her, whispering in her ear. "I can know I can do that."
"You sure Hero?" Sakura asked as she leaned back. "No one's been able to before."
"I'm not 'no one'," Sasuke wrapped his arms around her waist and ran a hand up her sides.
"I don't think the hero's supposed to be flirting with the thief," Sakura purred into his ear.
"No hero's perfect," Sasuke found a patch of skin on her neck that wasn't covered by her hoody and bit down lightly. Her hood fell off to reveal jet black hair and glasses covering her eyes. Sakura bit her lip when he nipped at her neck and bit back a moan when his hand slid over her chest.
"Isn't there some sort of hero rule to not flirt with the enemy?"
"I've never been one to follow rules," Sasuke smirked when the woman in his arms squeaked as he squeezed her breasts through her hoody. The sound of police vehicles came to their ears and the two paused.
"Well this's been fun but that's my cue to leave," Sakura slid out of Sasuke's hold and flipped her hood up before he could catch a glimpse of her face. "Oh and I doubt you'll be able to catch up."
"Let's see," Sasuke advance forward and chased her through the museum. Sakura hopped onto a ledge and then to the window before leaving with the diamonds in her backpack.
"I forgot the expensive ones," Sakura smacked her forehead as she jumped from rooftop to rooftop. Soon she felt a presence following her and saw the hero from earlier following her. Sakura jumped from rooftop to rooftop and tried avoiding being caught. He was on her tail but there was yet to be found someone who could match her speed.
------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke chased the thief on the rooftops of the city. He was catching up while she moved to the higher buildings. Suddenly she disappeared and he stopped the chase. He looked all around in the area but couldn't find her. He sighed and dropped to a lower building and pulled down his hood. He let the breeze mess up his hair before taking off in the direction of his home.
----------------------------------------------------------
"Ino, Hinata, you two are gonna be doing the same things from now on. Except you'll be sharing responsibilities," Sakura yawned. She had gotten a total of four hours of sleep before Ino came barging into her room, dragging Hinata with her.
"So did you finish the job?" Ino asked.
"Almost," Sakura flopped back onto her pillow.
"What do you mean almost?"
"I didn't get the most expensive ones."
"Tsunade won't be happy," Hinata sighed. She had arrived in Konoha a few days before Sakura could. Sakura had spent the past two weeks fighting her father and the board members to get them to let Hinata leave Hyuga Inc and join Sakura's team.
"Lemme guess, you flirted with the hero?" Ino asked.
"Maybe," Sakura could feel Ino's glare on her covered figure.
"So, Sakura how did you get Neji to let me go?" Hinata changed to conversation.
"Hinata, let's just say that he's now part of my stats," Hinata blushed.
"YOU SLEPT WITH HIM! SAKURA YOU ARE SO DEAD IF TSUNADE FINDS OUT," Ino screamed.
"That is if. Besides, he didn't complain," Sakura buried her head in between the sheets and drifted back off to sleep. "Besides both of us benefited."
----------------------------------------------------------
"Wake up teme," Naruto said bouncing up and down on Sasuke's bed.
"Fuck off dobe."
"Come on, don't you wanna meet Miss Sakura Haruno?"
"What time is it?"
"Five."
"Fuck off."
"In the afternoon."
"Shit," Sasuke threw the covers off the bed and ran into the bathroom.
"You may want to hurry, dinner's at six," Naruto sat on the bed and waited while his friend showered. "Itachi said that you should wear a tux or a suit."
"Fuck no," Sasuke said emerging from the bathroom with a towel around his waist. Water dripped from his hair and his body was covered in droplets of water. "Don't you also have to get ready?"
"I don't take as much time as you do teme," Naruto smirked and ran out of the room before an alarm clock came flying his way.
"Not another one," Itachi shook his head and looked up at the ceiling. Alarm clocks never lasted long on Sasuke's bedside table.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Should I wear the red one or the black one?" Sakura asked her two best friends.
"Black," Ino said from Sakura's king sized bed, Hinata sitting next to her.
"Red," Tsunade said from the doorway.
"Why black and why red?"
"Black will contrast you and it shows more skin," Ino and Hinata both nodded. The black dress was strappy and was low cut.
"The red will contrast your hair and bring it out while the slit on the side of the dress gives people a taste of what's under while not giving them a full view, therefore making them want to see more," Tsunade expertly commented.
"I agree, I'll keep the black number for a later dinner date," Sakura dropped the towel that was hugging her body and slipped into the dress.
"I suggest the red shoes with a medium heel. You don't want to kill your feet," Tsunade looked at the pair sitting on the bed. "Hinata you need to go a bit bolder then lip gloss, try a tinted pink lipstick. It'll keep your complexion while giving you an air of superiority. Ino, lighten up on the red, it'll kill your blondness."
"Tsunade, how come you're now coming along?" Ino asked rather annoyed.
"Because I have better things to do then baby-sit," Tsunade said and walked out of the room.
"I'm guessing Kiba bailed as well," Ino sighed.
"Doesn't he always?" Sakura sighed as well.
"I'll call down for the limo," Hinata sighed completing their triple sigh.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke stood mesmerised when the pink-haired beauty walked into the restaurant. He couldn't take his eyes off her. She was so breath-taking his eyes almost popped out when he realised she was standing in front of him.
"Hi, you must be Sasuke Uchiha," Sakura smiled and shook his hand.
"Sakura Haruno," Sasuke smiled as well. He saw Naruto almost faint from the corner of his eye.
"Itachi," Itachi extended his hand and shook Sakura's.
"I apologise that my brother couldn't make it, but he hates to attend business dinners."
"Not a problem. This is Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke's best friend and right hand man. And this is Deidara, my right hand man," Itachi motioned to the two standing behind him.
"This is Ino Yamanaka and Hinata Hyuga," Sakura said stepping back. "My two best friends and as you say right hand girls."
"How ever did you get your hand on a Hyuga?"
"Trade secret," Sakura smiled. Itachi smiled and led them to the table. They were in the fanciest French restaurant in Konoha.
"Hey Sakura, isn't that Kiba?" Ino asked. Sakura looked up in time to see Kiba slip out of the door of the restaurant.
"He's dead, when I see him," Sakura sighed and looked at the males in front of her.
"So what made you chose to merge with Uchiha Corp?" Sasuke asked. Sakura felt shivers run up her spine at the sound of his voice.
"Well Uchiha Corp and Haruno Tech have similar ideas which maximises production as well as profit. It extends the influence of both of our companies and increases the amount of work that can be done," Sakura smiled at the male's looks. "I also need a break from work overload."
"Don't we all?" Itachi smiled. At least she knows what she's talking about.
"What would you say makes the best business?" Sasuke asked.
"Well I think that by having people who were once in the same field should be the best to do the designing which guarantees success."
"How so?" Itachi looked interested.
"It's not about the best qualified in my design department it's about those with the most experience."
"Isn't that the same thing?" Sasuke heard the sound of typing and saw Hinata taking notes. He noticed her blushing and saw Naruto looking over her shoulder watching her work.
"Well seeing as how we're going to be business partners I should share one important business secret. My design team consists of the best hackers."
"Why them?" Itachi was confused.
"Well I have the best hackers on designs that involve things that could get hacked such as computer systems and electronic back vaults. This takes hackers off the streets and makes sure that the systems are hack proof."
"I understand most of it," Sasuke sighed.
"Because they are the best, it makes it almost ten to twenty times harder for people to hack those systems. It is a security guarantee and it ensures future business due to the inability to have to systems broken into," Sakura smiled.
"How did you get a hold of the hackers? I doubt they were willing to show themselves because of legal issues," Itachi was making sure everything was legal (who would want a company that could be destroyed in a matter of moments thanks to legalities?).
"Well, when I took over the company, I designed the system myself. I made sure that it was hack proof and then sent out and invitation for hackers to get into my system. Anyone who hacked in was sent a virus. If they could hack through the virus they would get a more severe one. The process continued until I was left with the best of the best and the only way to get rid of the virus was with a programme that I designed."
"There are plenty of legal issues with employing hackers," Sasuke pointed out.
"I have an arrangement with the higher ups in society. I, in their terms, take criminals off the street and they give me diplomatic immunity therefore allowing me to keep things running. It benefits them because there are less people trying to hack through government files and it's using hackers to hack proof systems. Plenty of people benefit and best of all it holds no legalities that could affect people later on."
"You've really thought this through," Itachi smiled. He was impressed. Not many people that were potential business partners were so involved in their businesses let alone thought every little detail through.
"I do my best to ensure success. By using hackers I have the most experience people designing my systems. It was based on pure assumption that it would work and years later it proved me right," Sakura smiled again.
