No one's POV
"Welcome back! My dear Sasu-chan!" exclaimed Mikoto Uchiha, as she hugged her son. "I missed you so much!" she continued as she squeezed Sasuke in her iron grip.
'Poor boy/otouto/teme' thought Mr. Fugaku, Itachi and Naruto simultaneously and sweat dropped.
Sasuke chocked out a "Kaa-san…!"
"You are squeezing him, Mikoto" said Mr. Fugaku, who was standing behind Mrs. Uchiha. Naruto was snickering and Itachi was controlling his laughter. Both were standing behind Sasuke, watching Sasuke struggling. Hearing this, Mikoto released him but still had her hands on his shoulders and Sasuke heaved a sigh.
"I missed you too, Kaa-san!" said Sasuke, as he hugged his mother and smiled. He had to bend a little as he was now taller than her. 'Aww…..' some maids almost fainted at his smile. The head maid dismissed them from the family reunion.
"Otou-san" Sasuke greeted his father, curtly. He knows that his father doesn't like to show emotions so he settled at that. But to his surprise, his father hugged him.
"Welcome back, son!" greeted Fugaku with a slight smile.
'Okay…..some things had changed here…..' thought Sasuke as he hugged back. Naruto was grinning now and Itachi just smiled a little but a squeal can be heard from Mikoto, as she captured this moment in her camera. 'Click, click'
"Mikoto!" said Mr. Fugaku, now with a blank look.
"What…? Who knows when will I see this again!" retorted Mikoto with a grin.
"Well, what are we waiting for? LET'S GET THE PARTY STARTED!" said the loud mouth blonde, who earned a glare from Fugaku but Naruto was joined by Mikoto.
"YEAH! Come on!" exclaimed Mikoto. Fugaku and Sasuke sighed. Itachi laughed a little. But the trio followed them.
"How do you cope with him?" asked Fugaku to Sasuke. Itachi laughed who obviously heard. Sasuke just shook his head.
Lunch was different today, noted Fugaku, as there was more chatting at the table, mostly by Mikoto and Naruto. Sasuke noticed that his mother made his favorite food. He smiled. Mikoto looked so happy that made everyone smile, even Fugaku.
Naruto diverted his talking to how Sasuke gets 'uncomfortable' with women as they try hitting on him. Everyone at the table erupted in laughter except Sasuke, who had a deathly glare directed towards Naruto. His glare had no effect on Naruto, so he settled with kicking him on the foot, below the table, as he was directly seated across from Naruto.
"OWW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR, TE… SASUKE!" shouted Naruto but resisted saying 'teme' in front of Fugaku and Mikoto. Sasuke smirked, satisfied and resumed eating. Itachi enjoyed this whole scene, commenting whenever he wants to.
"I wished Kushina and Minato were here today!" exclaimed Mikoto.
Gulping his food down, Naruto answered, "Ah, mom and dad are out of the town but they'll be here tomorrow. They're attending a marriage, I guess…" he scratched his non-existent beard. And the day went on…..
NEXT DAY…..
At Sakura's workplace…...
Afternoon…..
Sakura just had a nice chat and lunch with her Best friends and was thinking 'What a nice day today! I read my horoscope today that said today will be a great day for me! And nothing bad happened so far…..' when Sai came calling her.
"They are asking for you, Sakura-san" he said, with the smile of his. He stopped calling her 'ugly' after he got beating up by her.
"Ughh! Those people again!" said Sakura, frowning. 'There goes my GREAT day! Those men in black are back again!' she thought and glared at them.
The men looked from a high society as they wore black suits and there were three of them. One was with the glasses and brown hair, another with gray hair, carrying a folder and last one with blue hair. One can tell that they were in their 20s. They looked like they were inspecting the place.
"Is everything alright? They said they are from Uchiha Corporation" said Sai.
Sakura sighed, "I know, Sai. Thanks!" and stood up from her chair.
Sakura's POV
'I had already refused their proposal, but these stubborn people!'
They turned towards me as I approached them. Everyone in the office was looking at us. I glanced at my best friends who had questioning looks but I smiled at them, indicating that everything's fine.
One of them with the folder, asked, "Hello, Haruno-san! May we speak somewhere else?". He was glancing at the sides.
'So many people. Don't they have work to do! This is such a pain!'
"Ah, yes! Follow me, please!" I said and passed them. I entered a cabin and they followed. "Please, have a seat" I offered but they said they are fine. Whatever….. "Well….." I started but the man with glasses interrupted.
He said, "You see, Haruno-san, we are here about the proposal. Have you decided about it? Uchiha-sama asked us about your answer. We have to deliver your answer to him" and pushed his glasses up.
I glanced at my side and sighed. "I need more time to think" I said, glancing at them.
The other one, with the blue hair said, "Uchiha-sama is getting impatient". Well, he looked arrogant.
I responded, "So? It's too sudden. I can't accept that proposal hastily!". 'Uchiha-sama…..hmph! I'm losing my patience here!'
The one carrying the folder said, "We understand".
'Atleast someone is thoughtful among them'
He continued, "But its Uchiha-sama we are talking here. He always gets what he wants".
'Thoughtful? My foot! Now they are threatening me?! How dare them! Shannaro!'.
I controlled my anger and said, "Whatever….. Just tell them I'll call them when I'm ready".
The one with the glasses said, "Sure, Haruno-san. We'll be leaving then. Thank you for your time".

Meanwhile…..
"Tsunade-sama! There are some people from Uchiha Corporation!" said Shizune as she rushed through Tsunade's door. Tsunade sighed.
"Shizune, stop rushing in like that!" said Tsunade.
Shizune apologized, "Sorry, Tsunade-sama! But they were asking for Sakura!"
"WHAT! Why? What did this girl do now?!" exclaimed Tsunade and stood up.
"I don't know. They are headed towards the cabin just now" Shizune responded and they both rushed out of the office.
As they reached near the cabin, they could see the others clustered around the cabin door, which was slightly open. Tsunade and shizune sweat dropped but still didn't say a word as they both reached them.
"Proposal? What proposal?" murmured Ino.
Tenten hushed, "Sshhh….. Just hear".
Hinata stood beside Tenten, Ino and Kiba trying to hear besides while Sai was standing beside Kiba with a curious face. Hinata and Sai saw Tsunade and Shizune approach them so they took a step aside as if they aren't involved. The other three weren't aware. Tsunade cleared her throat.
"Sshhh….. Sai! They'll hear us!" murmured Ino, still peeking inside.
"Haven't you heard it's bad to eavesdrop?" said Tsunade. Ino, Tenten and Kiba stiffened and turned around but before anyone could speak, Tsunade put her hand up to stop them. "Now step aside" said Tsunade and smirked. Everyone including Shizune sweat dropped.
They heard the fragments of conversation like "Uchiha-sama is getting impatient"
"…..I can't accept that proposal hastily!"
"…..I'll call them when I'm ready"
"…..We'll be leaving then"
As they heard the last sentence, everyone scattered pretending they heard nothing. Tsunade was standing near Ino, a few feet away from the cabin door.
The three people came out the door and talked something like "She is a stubborn woman….. What will Uchiha-sama do now….." which didn't go unheard by Tsunade and Ino who were at their close proximity. Ino's eyes sparkled.
Now…..this may lead to a 'tiny-winy' misunderstanding and a 'little' trouble for Sakura.
To be continued…..
