WOW WOW WOW! Seriously guys, thank you so much! I am overwhelmed by the sudden popularity of this story. Thank you for all of your kind reviews, private messages, follows, and favorites. I truly, truly appreciate it. Even to all of my guest reviewers. You all make this so worth it!
Once more I do apologize for the Sakura and Temari bashing. Like I said before, I have nothing against those two characters, but for the sake of this story... well... they're jerks. Regarding the statement someone made about pairing Tenten with Itachi; I know it's a weird one! Certainly I understand why you would be curious as to why on earth I picked them to be together. Even DeidaraxTenten would be more realistic (If you watch the Rock Lee Spinoff, you'll know what I'm talking about). But You see, Tenten is my favorite character in Naruto. I love pairing her with the 'bad boy' if you will. This fic is really about Sasuke and Ino, but my love for Tenten and Itachi could not be withheld, so that's why she's in here too. Rather prominently and I do hope that doesn't bug you. :3

Chapter three: Fights
Ino was relatively surprised when the Vice President asked her to lunch, but she was also glad he did. She gave him a small nod and smiled. "Sure, just let me grab my purse." She replied, whipping back around and heading to the elevator. "You going down?"
Sasuke smirked. "Not yet, I'll meet you at the front desk." He said with a knowing look.
"Alright, sounds good." Ino said after pressing the button to the first floor. The heavy, stainless steel doors closed and Sasuke looked at Zabuza.
"Aren't you supposed to be at counseling?" Zabuza inquired as he raised his eyebrows. Sasuke's marital issues were not a secret to most the employees in the company, especially those who were close with Itachi and Sasuke.
"Uhh... Yep." Sasuke smirked once more and pulled his cell phone out of his back pocket. "I'll just reschedule it for this evening."
"I'm telling you kid, that damn counseling ain't gonna change a friggin' thing." Zabuza informed as he pressed the button for the elevator.
"Yeah, yeah. I know." He put the phone to his ear. "See ya in a bit." He paused for a moment, watching Zabuza take his leave while he listened to the dial tone in his ear. He then leaned against the wall, waiting for a response.
"Thanks for calling 'Lives Together' how can I assist you today?" Said the receptionist on the other end.
"Yeah, my name is Sasuke Uchiha. I have an appointment with Hinata, but I need to reschedule." He stated while fidgeting with his blue tie, flipping it up and down. There was a slight pause from the receptionist before she replied.
"Okay, Mr. Uchiha... Looks like we can fit you in this evening around 5 P.M. Does that work for you?" Said the woman.
"Yeah, sure that'll do." He released his tie and lidded his eyes, disappointed that they were able to reschedule him so quickly within the same day. Damn. He thought.
"Okay, we'll see you then, Mr. Uchiha. Have a fabulous day."
"I'll do my best." He said before promptly hanging up and stuffing his phone into its rightful place in his pocket. He knew that his actions would cost him. Sakura was going to demand some serious explanation. He rolled his dark eyes and stepped into the elevator, savoring the silence that he knew he wouldn't be able to enjoy once he got home later in the evening.
Once he made it to the first floor he noticed Ino leaning against the front desk with a purple, sequin covered purse slung over her right shoulder. She turned and looked at the approaching man, putting a smile on her face. "Ready?" He asked, mentally debating on whether or not he should take Deidara or not. He enjoyed lunch with his friend, but something about Ino was compelling to Sasuke. He wanted to spend a little time alone with the girl, although he knew he shouldn't. He let out a silent sigh and knocked on the desk. "You too, pervert."
"Oh, you want me to join you for lunch huh?" Deidara instantly perked up like a puppy being offered a treat. "Oh Sasuke, I never thought you'd ask." Deidara poked as he hopped over the desk and threw his jacket over his shoulders.
Ino giggled to herself as he watched the exchange between the two. It made her feel a lot more comfortable around Deidara knowing that he teased everyone in an inappropriate manor, male or female. It was just personality.
"Oh honey, you know it." Sasuke teased as he looked at Deidara with a smug look on his face. Deidara then proceeded to sling his arm around Sasuke. "Don't touch me, weirdo." Sasuke barked as he shoved the blonde away.
"Hey can I drive?" Deidara asked as the three of them made their way out the front door.
"No." Sasuke answered promptly, unlocking the hottest looking car in the parking lot.
"That's yours?" Ino managed to whisper as she stared at the vehicle, mouth hanging agape.
Sasuke turned around, standing on the sidewalk. He couldn't help but smile, taking notice of the girl's admiration of the vehicle. Hmm... She likes cars huh?
"No doubt that's a V-8 engine, right?" She asked, closing her mouth and putting a hand on her hip, still looking at the vehicle. She then watched Sasuke's eyebrows raise, and a smile crept onto his face.
"Why yes, yes it is." He spoke, walking over to the passengers side and opening the door for her.
Ino smiled and hopped into the front seat while Deidara made an annoyed face.
"I distinctly remember calling shotgun!"
"Deidara, you said no such thing." Sasuke stated as he pushed his front seat forward so the tall man could climb into the back.
Sitting in the middle seat in the back, Deidara did his best to get comfortable in such a cramped space. "I said it in my head." He mumbled.
The Sushi restaurant was extremely busy, but that was due to the fact that it was the most well-known Sushi establishments in all of Konoha. It was very high end, and items on the menus were ridiculously lavish and overpriced, so Ino was carefully debating what items she could get without becoming overdrawn in her bank account.
Noticing some indecision coming from the girl, Sasuke who was seated next to her, gave her a slight nudge. "Hey, lunch is on Itachi so don't sweat it you two. Get whatever you want." He smiled.
"Hell yeah!" Deidara exclaimed. "Let's get some sake up in here!"
"No, Deidara. Despite the fact that you are Itachi's best friend, I still think he'd fire you if you showed up to work shit-faced." Sasuke warned.
Ino couldn't help but smile at their playful and familiar banter. For some reason she felt so at ease with these people that she barely knew. They certainly balanced one another out quite well.
"So, miss Ino..." Deidara started as he turned his gaze to the girl. "What's your husband say about the new job?"
Ino frowned, annoyed that she was reminded of her single relationship status. "Oh, I don't have a husband." She hated it when anyone brought it up, it always made her feel foolish, and alone.
"Well that's good. Don't rush into anything." Deidara assured, softening his expression significantly.
"How bout you, Deidara? Are you married?" She asked him in return.
His posture changed instantly upon hearing the question, he sat up straight and scratched the back of his head a little nervously. "Well, she... She's uh seeing other people."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories." Ino appogized, feeling terrible for bringing it up.
"Nah! Don't worry about it." He gave her a reassuring smile and turned to Sasuke. "So, how bout you, ol boy? How's that wife a yours?"
Sasuke let out a loud sigh and lidded his eyes, obviously ticked off by the question. "It is what it is." He answered plainly, avoiding eye contact with the blonde male. Why did you bring that up, idiot!?
"I thought you were married. What's your wife like?" Ino questioned innocently, although she could tell by his reaction to Deidara's question that it may be a touchy subject.
"Let me ask you something, Ino." Sasuke started as he put both his elbows on the table and leaned toward her. "Have you ever seen a pink, fire breathing dragon with big, demonic emerald eyes?"
Ino drew back just a bit, contorting her face into a confused expression. "Uh.. No I can't say that I have."
"Well, that's what she's like." He replied, leaning back in his chair and picking his menu back up.
Before anyone could say anything more, a frantic man wearing a white apron and short chef's hat came rushing to the table. "Where is your brother?" He asked, looking down at Sasuke. You could tell the man was rather worried by his fidgety behavior. Sasuke closed his menu and looked up.
"He's in the offices right now, Mr. Ya.."
"Big trouble, need to talk to you in the kitchen." The man interrupted. "Hurry!"
Sasuke waisted no time standing. "You two hang tight, I'll be right back." He stated before heading off into the heart of the restaurant.
Ino looked at Deidara, perplexed. "What was that all about?"
"Well, Mr. Yamato has a loan out with our company, it could have something to do with that." Deidara replied nervously, hoping his fib would be sufficient.
"Oh, I see." Ino replied with a smile and a nod. She disregarded the matter quickly, her mind was too busy wondering what Sasuke meant about his wife. She knew she probably shouldn't, but she decided to take advantage of Sasuke's absence to question Deidara about it. "So... What's the situation with Sasuke and his wife?"
Hhmmm... Someone has a crush on our VP, now don't they? He thought to himself with a smug look. "Well, to put it bluntly, Ino, Sasuke hates her."
"But why?" Ino pried, hoping she wasn't overstepping any boundaries.
Deidara bobbed his head to the side, debating on what to say. Finally, he answered. "Cause she's a friggin' dragon. You heard the man. "
"So I take it their relationship is pretty rocky then?"
"Yeah, he's going through counseling to see if they can work it out. But I've already said too much, so don't ask me anymore."
Meanwhile, in the kitchen
"What's going on, Yamato?" Sasuke questioned once he was sure they were alone and in a secure area.
"Last night, we had a break in. One of my employees got pretty roughed up. I was hoping you could bring us some sort of 'security'."
Sasuke looked around, with shifty eyes, scanning the area before speaking. "Okay, what kind of 'security' are we talking? Glocks, AKs?"
"Give me a range of things, it wasn't just some kids off the street. I'm pretty sure we're dealing with a gang." The man replied.
"Okay, why don't you come by the office and take out a loan with Itachi. He'll set you up."
"I can do that. How bout tomorrow morning?"
"Sounds great." Sasuke said before shaking the man's hand. The two exchanged good byes and he shortly returned to the table and took a seat next to his coworkers, who seemed happy about his return. "Ready to order?"
Back at the office
Itachi had called her three times now, but the girl simply would not answer. She's out cold. He thought to himself, hanging up the phone in annoyance. He had stubborn employee barricading herself in his wife's office. Refusing to speak to anyone but Tenten, Who was most likely sleeping contently. Sighing, he decided to give it one last try, but this time he dialed her from his office phone.
It rang a few times, and just when it was about to play her voice mail greeting, she picked up. "Hello?" She asked, quietly.
"I'm sorry to bug you, but we have a problem." Itachi mumbled as he placed a hand on his head, rubbing his temples.
"Oh great, what is it this time?" Tenten replied, sitting up in bed. She couldn't be certain what to expect, and the urgency in his voice alarmed her greatly.
"Temari locked herself in your office. She won't leave until you come and talk to her." He informed, plopping down into his chair behind the desk.
"You're kidding me?!"
"I wish I was."
"I'll be down in a minute."
Tenten finally arrived at Uchiha Enterprises about an hour after her husband had called. She stormed into the front doors angrily, anticipating the worst from her most troublesome employee.
"Aren't you even gonna say 'hi' to your old man?" Came a voice from behind the front desk. Tenten had walked right passed it, not even noticing the fact that Deidara was gone, and that Zabuza had taken his place.
She whipped around, the dual buns atop her head staying perfectly positioned. "When did you get back, dad?"
"Last night." He replied, stepping away from the circular desk to hug her. "Itachi told me you're not sleeping." He said, holding her close.
The last thing she wanted to do was let go of her father's comforting embrace, but she knew that something urgent awaited her, and she had no time to spare. "Yeah well, I'll tell you about it later, right now I've got something to deal with."
"Okay Tenten, see you in a bit." He smiled at her as she turned and made her way up the staircase. Rarely used by anyone, Tenten utilized it when she was angry to let out bent up frustrations.
Finally, she reached the fourth floor, where her office was located and she hurriedly made it to her door. She grabbed the knob, turned it and swinging the door open. There sat Temari in Tenten's ergo office chair, toying with a photo on her desk. Suddenly, the blonde jumped to her feet and glowered at the brunette.
"Your new employee is a complete and total bitch! She spit in my face today and told me I had mental problems!" Temari exclaimed frantically, rushing to her boss
"That's nice, Temari. Please Get out of my office now." Tenten said calmly, although she was extremely annoyed with the current situation. She studied her office subtly, seeing if anything was out of place.
"You're not gonna do anything about that?" She questioned, stepping closer to Tenten and narrowing her eyes as if to threaten her.
"I don't believe you, Temari. Quite frankly I think you're just jealous of her. You were the only attractive single woman in the office for a while, but the second someone better comes along, you're trying to mark your territory." Tenten stated, not backing away a single inch as Temari drew closer to her.
"I've worked for you for years!" Temari shrieked. "And you're picking her over me?"
"That's the gist of it, yes."
"I'll ruin you, Tenten." The blonde spat, tiring her back and storming back to the desk. She then picked up he photo of Tenten and Itachi that sat upon the desk and ran her fingertips across the glass. "I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you and Itachi." With this, Temari smirked, dropped the photo and smashed the glass with the heel of her stiletto, her eyes darting back to Tenten to observe her reaction.
At her sides, Tenten clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, desperately trying not to overreact. "Temari, you need to leave. You being in my office and complaining to me about something that never happened is ridiculous."
"Is it now?" She strode behind Tenten's desk and flung open a drawer of paperwork. Roughly, she yanked the drawer out and dumped it all over the office floors. "I would hate for all of your paper work to get messed up."
"What do you want, Temari!?" Tenten shouted, her temper obviously flaring.
"I want you to fire the new girl!"
"I have no reason to! She's a perfectly good employee and has done nothing to deserve a termination!"
"You're so unloyal!" Temari suddenly sat herself onto Tenten's desk and placed her hands on Tenten's iMac computer.
"Don't touch that!" Tenten exclaimed, rushing toward her desk at full speed.
"Hn." Temari smiled a devious smile and shoved the hardware onto the floor, causing it to snap in half. Tenten's eye began to twitch as she looked around her office and all of the chaos that the girl had caused. It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Tenten lunged toward the desk and grabbed hold of Temari's wrist, she then dragged her across the surface of the desk, to the other side and pulled her off. Luckily for Temari, she landed on her feet. "How dare you!" Tenten spat. "Just who do you think you are!?"
"You deserved everything that came your way, Tenten." Temari glared intensely in Tenten's direction and before Tenten knew it, Temari swung a hard right hook and planted her fist right onto Tenten's left cheek.
Tenten's eyes widened and she stumbled back, her hands instinctively holding onto her throbbing cheek. "That's it. I'm not playing nice anymore, Temari." Tenten wound up and swung at Temari, who dodged easily and planted another firm blow onto Tenten's opposite cheek. Angry, Tenten grabbed the girl by the collar and slammed her into the door of the office. "For the record, Temari, you're fired!" She cried before slamming her hard into the door again. She then cocked her fist back and pounded into Temari's face, causing her nose to bleed. She couldn't stop once she had started, and she continued to strike the girl until she saw her eyes roll back and her shoulders slumped. Tenten let her go and watched her body fall to the ground limply.
Shit... Tenten thought to herself as she stared down at the girl. Shaking, she rushed to her office phone and dialed Itachi in a panic. Her hands were trembling, and she was barely able to hold onto the phone.
"Yeah?" Came Itachi's voice from the other end.
"I-Itachi I... Uh.." Her voice cracked and the pain in her face began to increase as her adrenaline ran out.
"What happened, are you alright?" He asked concerned, noting the strangeness in his wife's voice.
"You... You better call the police."
"Thank you again for lunch, Sasuke." Ino said politely as she, Sasuke and Deidara pulled up into the parking lot of their work place.
"No problem. We'll have to do it again sometime." He replied as he looked over at her in the passenger's seat. His eyes lingered there for a moment, he was unable to look away. She had such a natural beauty, it was magnetic.
"Shit dude, the police are here. And an ambulance." Deidara noted as he looked out the window from the back seat, breaking Sasuke from his enchantment.
"Oh no." Sasuke said as he hastily unfastened his seatbelt and jumped out of the car.
Ino too, rushed out side to see what the commotion was all about. She looked to Sasuke, concerned and frightened. She found herself drawing close to him, and Sasuke did not seem to mind.
Deidara leapt out of the car and rushed inside, Ino and Sasuke in tow. There were about four officers in the front offices questioning Zabuza and Itachi, and some paramedics were tending to a female on a stretcher, wheeling her out. As she passed, the trio recognized her as Temari. The girl's face was quite swollen and bruised, but she seemed to be swearing and mumbling on about how she hated it here.
"What did Tenten do?" Deidara asked Sasuke, but Sasuke ignored him and strode up to the officers who were questioning Itachi. It was never a good thing when the police came snooping around the offices.
"What happened?" Sasuke asked his brother, a look of fear and concern written all over his face.
"Oh, you know. Tenten got into a little suffle." Itachi responded, but it was evident to Sasuke that his brother was a lot more concerned than he let on.
"But from what we gather from her statement, this was in self defence. She's being questioned at the moment, and I've got an officer reviewing her security footage from her office." Said the man Sasuke assumed to be the officer in charge.
"Why don't you have everyone get back to work, Sasuke. I can take care of this here. Once the officer in Tenten's office is finished, help Ino put Tenten's office back in order." Itachi instructed, giving his brother a knowing look.
Sasuke returned this with a nod, and walked back to Ino and Deidara who were staring at their surroundings in shock.
"Dude, what happened?" Deidara whispered, drawing closer to Sasuke and pulling Ino in with him.
Sasuke rolled his eyes and let out a sigh. "Tenten got in a fight with Temari. She's claiming it was self defense, but it's hard to say if that was really the case."
"Shit. You think Tenten could go to jail?" Deidara asked.
"She shouldn't if it was self defense." Ino chimed in.
"Yeah, well let's just pray that it was." Sasuke replied. "For the mean time, we all need to get back to work."
After reviewing the footage in Tenten's office, there was now decisive decision as to whether or not the act was self defense or not, seeing as how she dragged Temari off the desk. The police decided to take the video to their chief for the final call, in the meantime, Tenten was free to go about her day, and would be notified later on once they made a decision. Sasuke had asked Ino to make some copies for him to give her something to do while they waited for the officers to leave, but since they were gone, he decided it was time that they clean up the office.
He made his way to the copy room and stood in the doorway, watching Ino work diligently at the copies that really weren't important at all. He smiled silently to himself as he watched her straighten the papers in a neat stack and turn around. She gasped when she saw him standing there, as she had not been aware of his presence. He noticed a slight blush creep onto her cheeks, embarrassed that he had startled her.
"Hey." He said casually, putting up his hand.
"Oh, hey Sasuke. I didn't see you there." She started, smiling a little. "I uh, I finished your copies." She said, handing the neat stack of papers to him. She then turned and swiped the original from the machine and placed it on top of the pile.
"Good job, thanks." He replied, smiling as well. "Hey, I need your help with a project. Apparently Temari destroyed Tenten's office."
"Oh my God, really?" Ino shrieked, widening her eyes.
"Yeah, really." Sasuke stated, turning around and heading toward the elevator.
Ino followed him, happy to assist him in the task. I don't see how someone could do that to Tenten. Ino thought to herself, wondering how her boss was fairing.
Moments later, the two found themselves at the door of her office on the fourth floor. Sasuke hesitantly opened the door and shook his head in disgust. The place was a wreck. Important documents of Tenten's were strewn about the floor, her expensive computer was trashed and everything on the desk was either scattered on the floor or sloppily placed in random spots on the surface. "No wonder Tenten hospitalized her." He mumbled to himself, stepping into the office.
Ino followed him in, gasping at the sight. "This is horrible." Both walked in sync toward the shattered photo that lay broken on the floor, and both reached for it simultaneously, locking eyes as they bent down. Ino's heart pounded as Sasuke stared into her blue orbs. She felt as though he could see right through her, and they continued to stare.
He couldn't pull his gaze away from her, but he knew he had to. He released the photo, gulped and stood to his feet, breaking the long and awkward moment, but he didn't want it to end. Stop it, Sasuke. He scolded himself internally and made his way to the scattered papers. He squatted down and scooped them up, doing his best to organize them.
Ino recovered quickly from their intense stare down, she stood and removed the picture from the shattered frame, placing it on Tenten's desk. She carefully picked up the broken glass and discarded it in the garbage can that sat at the side of the desk. I just wish he wasn't so attractive. It would make my job so much easier. She thought to herself, subtly glancing back at him while he gathered the papers. A smile found its way to her face and she couldn't help it. Am I checking him out!? Oh Ino, stop that. She shook her head and walked over to the computer to collect it's pieces.
"For the last time, Tenten, you're not going to jail. I'm sure the footage proves that you were defending yourself." Itachi said, doing his best to comfort his wife. Her face was bruised on both of her cheek bones, and it was evident she was distraught. He sighed and walked to her, sitting next to her on the couch in his office.
"I'm sorry, Itachi. I just snapped. I know I shouldn't have gone after her, but I did." Tenten looked down, tears forming in her eyes.
He put an arm around her and pulled the girl close. "If it were me, Tenten, I would've killed her."
She let out a small giggle, but she knew without a doubt that he wasn't lying. Being in the business that they were in wasn't by any means a clean one, and Itachi already had a lot of blood on his hands. Tenten leaned into his shoulder and sighed, looking up at him. "I love you."
"I love you too. I'm glad you're okay." He whispered, kissing the top of her head. "Everything's going to be fine."
"Welcome back, Sasuke. Take a seat." The busty therapist instructed after Sasuke reluctantly entered into her office.
Sasuke removed his suit jacket, draped it over the arm of the couch and took a seat afterward. Letting out a sigh, he looked at the girl. "And how are you today, Hinta?"
"I'm fine, thank you for asking, Sasuke. Let's talk about your day, Sasuke. How was that?"
"It was pleasant." He smiled honestly, only thinking about one thing.
"That's good news. And things with Sakura, how are they?" Hinata asked, picking up her notepad and pen.
Sasuke studied the room, sickened by the pastel coloring and happy pictures of couples on the walls. "They're worse, believe it or not. Does that mean I get my money back for yesterday's sessions?"
"Well, Sasuke, The good news is that things often get worse before they get better. What happened?"
"She thinks we need a kid because I don't pay attention to her. I don't wanna pay attention to her, and I certainly don't want a kid." Sasuke answered, tapping his finger nervously on the arm of the couch.
Hinata set her pen down and scooted to the edge of her seat, giving Sasuke her full attention. "Sasuke..." She paused. "What are you doing?"
"What do you mean?" He asked, looking up at her a little confused.
"I mean with Sakura. It's obvious that you have no feelings for her, and although I'm a marriage counselor, there are just some things I cannot fix. I can't make you love her." Hinata continued. "Part of being a marriage counselor is knowing when to say enough is just enough. Some marriages just don't work."
Sasuke sighed and leaned back in the couch, resting his head on the back of it. "I know." He whispered. "But I gotta fix it."
"And why is that, Sasuke?" Hinata questioned, curiously.
"Because my brother won't let me work for him any longer if I get a divorce. I've got to keep up my image with the public, and a messy divorce is the last thing we need right now."
"At some point, your brother will have to underst..."
"You don't know my brother, okay!? So don't sit there and act like you do." He spat, rising to his feet. "I'm fuckin' out of here."
Sasuke pulled up to his house, eager to get some sleep. That counseling session had completely drained him of his energy. He got out of his car and left his jacket inside, not realizing he had done so. He walked inside, placed his shoes on the mat neatly and hung his keys on the ring perfectly in order to appease his anal wife.
"What do you say whe-"
"I'm home!"
"What's wrong?" Sakura exclaimed as she raised up from her place at the dining room table. She walked up to him, concern gracing her pale face.
"I don't want to talk about it." Sasuke pushed past her and went to his couch, he grabbed the throw pillow and hugged it instinctively. Knowing she would get angry if she saw him try to smother himself once more.
"Well... h-how was counseling?" Sakura was a little alarmed by his behavior. He seemed rather angry, and she got a little scared when he was angry. Sasuke stood from the couch, threw the pillow and looked her dead in the eye with furrowed brows.
"Why are we doing this?"
"D-doing what?"
"Why are we together?"
"H-hey, let's just have some dinner okay? Just calm down." Sakura plead, putting her hands up.
Sasuke sighed and shook his head. "Fine."
"Oh hey, before dinner, can I borrow your credit card for something? I found these amazing shoes online and I just.."
"Knock yourself out." Sasuke patted himself down, searching for his wallet. "Oh, I left it in the car. The keys are on the ring."
"I'll go grab it." Sakura smiled and swiped his keys from the ring. Before exiting, she bent down and straightened his shoes on the mat. She then went to the car and unlocked the door. She peered in, noticing his jacket on the passenger's side. She walked around to the other side of the car and opened the door. Leaning inside, she turned on the dome light and looked around for the wallet. Not seeing it anywhere, she patted his jacket and smiled when she felt it. She withdrew from the car, and was about to shut the door, but she had forgotten the light. Sakura leaned in once more, but before she turned the light off, she noticed a long, single strand of blonde hair on the passenger seat. She delicately grabbed it between her pointer finger and thumb and studied it. The coloring was far too pale to be Deidara's, and she didn't know any male to have hair at that length. Glaring and dropping the hair, she stormed inside.
"Sasuke!?" She exclaimed loudly, throwing his suit jacket onto the couch.
"What?" He asked, looking over at her.
"Why was there a long, blonde hair in your car!?" She walked around the couch and stood directly in front of him. "I know it wasn't Deidara's!"
"Woah, woah! Calm down Sakura, gees." Sasuke shook his head. "You know we got a new intern at work. Itachi had me and Deidara take her to lunch today, so yeah, she was in my car. And she's got long, blonde hair."
Sakura sighed, a bit relieved. "Oh.. Okay, good." She smiled. "I don't know what I'd do if you ever cheated on me."
