THEIR LITTLE GAME
A lady with pink tresses walked through long hall of an old traditional huge house. The place was far too quiet and only the sound of her light footsteps could be heard. On her both hands was a small tray with a piece of phone. Her traditional outfit perfectly suits the house she was in. Anyone could mistake her as a lost spirit from her way of walking flawlessly. She walked smooth and steady as if the air around her had frozen from fear.
Reaching her destination, she stopped. She knocked on the door lightly and entered as a maid slid it open. She bowed quietly in front of the people who were sitting inside and waltzed to the raven-haired man in the middle.
"Fugaku-sama," She started. Her voice as soft as clouds and as velvet as the sky though her tone held eeriness. "The head of Hyuuga Family wishes to talk to you." She said as she offered to the man in front of her the phone politely.
"Hn. Arigatou, Sakura." The older man replied as he stood up and took the phone with no expression. Then, he tapped the lady's pink head lightly. "You worked quite enough for today. You should eat lunch with us." His head turned to a person with dark blond hair. "Hotaru," He called.
The addressed lady bowed from the corner of the room. "Hai, Fugaku-sama?"
"Bring Sakura her lunch." The highly respected man commanded. The lady then bowed one more time and headed to the kitchen.
The dark haired man moved his head back to the pink haired lady and smiled. "You're losing weight daughter, you should eat more." He said softly before facing the sitting people around the room. "I'll be back, you may continue your lunch." Then, he walked off nonchalantly with the phone on his hand.
Before the pink haired lady could sit on her place, she was called by another older man that has long spiky raven hair. "Hai, Madara-sama." She bowed politely.
"Haruno, I'd like you to greet our guest here, Karin." The older man said as he gestured his head to the sitting scarlet haired woman.
Emerald orbs turned to look at the woman with scarlet hair and eyes. Apparently, the woman has money on her hands. The elegant purple dress she was wearing showed quite a lot of her smooth, silky skin. And the jewelries that hang on her long neck and perfect ears flattered her exquisite body very well. And on her back sat two males that could scare any simple men with just one look. Haruno Sakura smiled and bowed politely. "Pleased to meet you, Karin-san. I hope you'd enjoy your stay here in Uchiha mansion." said her.
The addressed woman smiled back. "It's nice to meet you, Haruno."
An amused smile curved on Madara's lips. "You should sit and have a small chit-chat with us, Haruno."
"Hai, Madara-sama." The pink haired lady then sat beside the older man.
"Your role in Uchiha Family confuses me, Haruno." The red head said. Her voice soft and womanly yet her tone quite sounded like those of seductress. "I thought I heard Fugaku-san called you daughter."
The pink haired lady's lips curved upwards softly. "I am nothing but a slave of Uchiha Family, Karin-san."
"Oh," Crimson eyes lit up. "Then, should you be sitting with us?" The woman asked sarcastically.
"Ah, don't be like that Karin. Haruno is a family to us." Madara said, his amused smile never leaving his flawless face. "Aniki raised her like his own daughter."
"Such a lucky girl you are, aren't you Haruno?" The red head smiled.
The pinkette smiled back. "Indeed I am lucky for serving the Uchiha Family."
-o-o-o-o-o-
"Roses really are my favorite." The scarlet haired woman said as she held one of the red flowers that bloomed in the garden. "They hold such eternal beauty yet they could hurt those who'd touch them carelessly."
"Then, a rose suits your beauty." The black haired man said, taking one of the said flower and giving it to the red haired woman in front of him.
The woman took it with a soft smile curved on her glossy lips. "It still surprises me whenever you'd act so sweet, Madara." She mused, as she smelled the scarlet flower that matches her tresses. Without looking on her back, she began to speak again. "How about you, Haruno? What is your favorite flower?"
"Daisies are my favorite, Karin-san." The lady who was standing quietly behind the raven haired man and scarlet haired woman replied politely. On her back also stood the two males that seemed to be Karin's guards.
"Oh," The red head smiled. "I thought for a while your favorite is cherry blossom."
"But that would be so cliché, wouldn't it Karin-san?" The pinkette asked.
"Yes." The crimson haired woman replied. "Then why is daisy your favorite?"
"Because daisies can survive everywhere."
"Much like yourself?"
"I'm afraid no, Karin-san." The red head raised her eyebrows while still staring at the flower she was holding. "A girl like me wouldn't be able to survive in other places but I once wished to be like daisies back when I was a kid."
"Now, now, Haruno, you're beauty is still like those of daisies." Madara said as he turned around to look at the pinkette. Then, a man walked to the group and whispered something to the older man. The raven-haired man nodded. "I'll be there." said him. "Excuse me for a while, Karin."
The red head gave the older man a smile. "I understand."
"I'll leave Karin in your care for a while, Haruno."
The pinkette bowed. "Hai, Madara-sama."
Karin then began walking as the older man left. The pinkette and the two men with her followed her silently. "So Haruno, how many years have you been staying here in Uchiha mansion?"
"I was born here, Karin-san."
"I see. That must be the reason why Madara sees you as part of his family."
"Everyone who works here were born in here too, Karin-san."
"Is that so?"
"Hai."
A soft chuckle escaped the red head's lips. "You amuse me, Haruno." She said. "I would for sure take you as my personal maid when the time comes."
"If you don't mind Karin-san, would you explain what you just said?"
"Madara said I can be a candidate to be the wife of the next head of Uchiha Family."
"I see." The pinkette murmured.
Karin stopped walking and turned around to face the pink haired lady. The smile on her face then slowly vanished as she spoke. "Fugaku-san may see you as his own daughter but in reality, you're still not a part of Uchiha Family unless you'd marry one of them."
"What are you implying at, Karin-san?"
"It's a possibility that you'd want to marry an Uchiha, might be possible the next head, to be a real part of the prestigious known family."
The pink haired lady remained silent but there was also no smile on her porcelain face.
The red head turned around and began walking. "I knew you're a competition. I should keep my eyes on you."
"Most women wished to marry an Uchiha, Karin-san." The red haired woman stopped walking again and turned around to look at the certain lady. "So, does that mean you'd keep an eye on them too?"
"No." The red head replied then a smile formed on her lips. "You sure are a lucky woman because I'd be honest with you." The lady started. "I see you as a threat. Fugaku-san sees you as his own daughter, Madara thinks you're a part of his family and you grew up here. You have your own advantages compared to mine, that is why I see you as a threat and I should keep my eyes on you."
"You sure want to be a part of this family, Karin-san." The pinkette mused.
"Of course and now that I'm here already, I will not let go of this opportunity."
"Didn't it occur to you that if ever I'd marry the next head of the Uchiha family or even just one of the Uchiha's, it would be weird for everyone, Karin-san? Just like incest, because Fugaku-sama sees me as his own daughter and I grew up here which meant that I also grew up together with the younger generations of Uchiha Family."
"No, it didn't occur to me but I'd still keep my eyes on you."
The pinkette smiled. "You amuse me too, Karin-san."
A/N: This is actually one of my favorite but… yeah. Anyway, this was supposed to be another Sakura vs. Karin fic. In here, Karin wanted to seduce Uchiha men and be one of their family while making sure that Sakura –a woman who works and grew up with the Uchiha Family- wouldn't get anymore closer to her target. Karin wanted to marry an Uchiha in order to get their wealth. Yes, in here Karin is a gold digging she-dog. Karin thought she got the game but what she didn't know is that the Uchiha bachelors –Madara, Sasuke, Itachi, Shisui, and Obito- were already obsessed with our very own lovely pinkette and to her worst nightmare she also did not know that the said bachelors loved playing games with the said pinkette. The game is something like a mind game. They love to mindfuck the people who they knew has evil motives over their family. In the end, Karin would end up in an asylum where she'd meet Ino –one of the victims of the Uchiha men and Sakura- and she'd realize that everything that they did to her was just to kill boredom.
