A/N: Sorry, this is another short chapter. I PROMISE that the next one will be longer.

The song is not mine it. Caleb Kane - Out There.

Mr and Mrs Uchiha

Chapter 2

His midnight eyes met her emerald ones. A slow smirk spread across his face, he obviously like what he was seeing.

"Aa"

He took her hand and led her to the dance floor, not once did his eyes leave hers. It was amazing how their bodies moved so in sync with each other. Sakura felt her skin was on fire. She had never experience anything so intense. She was jaded enough to know there was no such thing as love at first sight, but attraction? She knew plenty about that a first sight. Lost in the music and in his arms she never once remembered to check his hand for the ring.

"Sasuke" he whispered into her ears as the song faded.

It was then she remembered the reason why she was here and broke from her daze. She had only recently been promoted to an ANBU, but that was no excuse for her incompetence. She had trained hard to get to where she was, it hadn't been an easy journey. There was something special about this man, Sasuke, that allowed her to escape her duties as a Shinobi. It was exhilarating at the same time frightening.

The new song which had started was more mellow. The words swept over the dance floor.

Is somebody out there to keep me in the fight?
Is somebody out there to take my side?
Is somebody out there to ease my troubled mind?
'Cause I need someone with time to spare
I get caught all alone out there everytime

I'm easy to find
Don't leave me behind...

He wrapped his arms around her and she noted with some relief his right hand had been bare. He was not her target. At least her blunder hadn't resulted in dire consequences.

"Sakura" she whispered back.

There was something about those dark orbs that suggested it was futile to lie to him, or perhaps she gave out her real name hoped to meet him again after this mission, after that night, in better circumstances.

Sometime later that night, or more precisely early next morning, they ended up in front of her hotel room. Her target never showed.

While she opened the door, she wondered if she should invite him in, then he kissed her hot and hungry. There was no need for her to make a decision after that. He pressed her against the wall and she lost all coherent thought after that. It safe to say they never made it to the bed, well, they had but much later.

She left when dawn broke, he was still asleep, she hadn't wanted to go. But, it was essential she gets back as quickly as possible. Because as her target wasn't where he was suppose to be, there was a high chance something had happened. Her report was valuable.

The weather had turned for the worst. Deafening winds blew harshly against her skin. Yet all she could hear was how Sasuke whispered her name last night and all she could feel was his strong fingers gripping her hips. The taste of him accompanied her home.

Later she found out that the intel regarding Itachi had been false. It was spread to deliberately cause confusion as to his location. There was no further information as to his actual whereabouts. Konoha wasn't the only party mislead by the false information, apparently the sand had also send people based on the rumour.

A month later after Sakura little trip up north, a surgeon in her department had made a careless error on the operation table. A series of legal action were being brought against her department for medical negligence. Since, Sakura was currently one of Japan's youngest heads of cardiology, there was a lot of criticism dredged up by the media over the incident. Her mentor, Tsunade-shishou, had promised the best of Konoha's top lawyers would be working on this. Thus a meeting with Konoha's legal consultants were arranged.

"I believe we've met before," said the man who strolled in. Those dark eyes that held her mesmerised during their last meeting, bored into hers again.

"Yes, I believe we have," surprise evident in her voice.

"Uchiha Sasuke"

Realisation hit her, no wonder he held such resemblance to Itachi. They were from the same clan. Sakura wondered how closely they were related.

"Haruno Sakura" Sakura inwardly smiled to herself, giving out her real name had been the right decision. Fate was in her favour.

Of all the scenarios Sakura fantasised that she would meet Sasuke again, surprisingly during the cause of her day job hadn't been one of them.

But, since she had seen him again, he had become more permeated into her mind. The following weeks were like a whirlwind experience. Their first point of connection was through music, like the night they met. Both of them liked the same bands so their 'first date' had been to a sold out concert. Later in their relationship, they had found out the shared many common views from politics to movies to what to eat for breakfast. He never questioned her about the hours she did outside her usual work schedule and in return she didn't ask him too much about his family, which he seems very reluctant talk about.

All in all, in six short months Sakura found herself standing in front of the alter saying the words 'I do'. She couldn't have been any happier. Regrettably, such happiness was not meant last especially in for a shinobi.

-----------------

As the funeral was drawing an end, Sakura was glad of the rain, for it replaced the tears that would not fall from her eyes. These eyes have seen much death, pain and sufferings. Perhaps she has been in this business too long.

A/N: I will try to keep the characters from being too OOC. (its really hard!...i blame the setting). My justification is that they are older. They got married early 20s they are now 27/28ish, so Sasuke interested in girls…not too OOC right? Time has a way of changing ppl!

On another note, I have exams. This will mean no updates for a while. As much as I want to keep writing this, I REALLY need to study.
