Evening Without Your Girlfriend
By Aimie
…. Cuz the girl that you want, she was tearing us apart …
Chapter 4: "Everything I'm Not"
Sakura was asleep beside Sasuke, his arm draped over her shoulders, his lips next to her ear. It probably gives you a pretty nasty image of the two, and it probably did look how you're picturing it. She inhaled, exhaled breathing in his scent. He smelled kind of….manly? If that's even something you can smell…
He smiled in his sleep. No, not a smirk. A smile.
Sakura's coat was divided between the both of them, equally spreading warmth. The doors of the elevator burst open, letting light in. Sakura winced at the sudden light; she wearily awoke shielding the light from her eyes.
The men who opened the elevator snickered. "Heh…looks like the two of you had fun, eh?"
"Eh?" Sakura's eyes widened at what the men where implying, she looked at Sasuke. "Get up you idiot!" she demanded shaking him awake.
"Huh?" he said getting up rubbing his head.
"Yeah, you two had a lot of fun." One of the men said.
"With her?" Sasuke asked pointing at Sakura. "Please…" he scoffed rolling his eyes.
She hit him on the shoulder. "As if that's so bad…"
He raised an eyebrow. "It is."
"Like I would want to do anything to you…" she spat crossing her arms over her chest.
He rolled his eyes. "Hn. Right."
--
"Yes Tsunade-sama?" Sasuke stood in front of Tsunade in her office.
She raised an eyebrow. "It has come to my attention that you want to revive your clan is that true?"
"Hai." He answered.
"Well then, you are of age to find a wife at this point and revive your clan. Why don't you?" Tsunade asked putting her elbows on the table and looking at him.
"I haven't found the right person to rebuild my clan with." He said simply.
Tsunade smirked. "I know that you really don't care who you rebuild your clan with, so I'll send you a list of potential candidates for the job and you will choose."
"But…"
"No buts Sasuke, it's now or never." She smirked. "Now run along. Now where is my sake…?"
--
Sasuke sat on his bed looking over the names of the women who were his 'potential wives', he rolled his eyes and threw the paper aside. Sasuke threw himself on his bed sighing.
"There is a list of girls willing to marry me…" he mused. "A list of about twenty women who are willingly going to marry me…"
He got up and picked up the paper. He looked over the names, only the first names because alas, he did not want to know their last names.
Ai
Aiko
Akiko
Keita
Kaori
Chiyo
Jin
Haruko
Michiko
Kichi
Hana
Keiko
Etc…he sighed again. Sasuke could believe…and couldn't how many women would actually give up everything for him. Just to have a chance to marry him, He re-read the list over and over again and he noticed something—a name was missing.
"I didn't actually think she was serious…" he muttered re-reading the list for a seventh time.
There was no mistaking it. Her name, Sakura's name wasn't on the list. Sasuke mentally laughed.
"Wow, I guess she was serious…." He muttered smirking.
Sasuke, who was usually a very smart guy, closed his eyes and began to circle his finger around the paper and stopping on a name. He opened his eyes.
Ai.
"Ai, it is." He said smirking.
--
Sasuke cleared his throat and knocked on Ai's door. He stood there for about five minutes, just looking at a shrub nearby trying to occupy his wasted time, until the door opened. The strawberry blonde haired girl, with the bright turquoise eyes fainted after looking at him for a good 3 seconds.
"Great" he thought sarcastically squatting to see if she was okay.
The girl's mother ran to her aid not taking her eyes of Sasuke, who was so obviously her obsession too. "Gomen-nasai…" the woman looked down.
"It's fine" he muttered.
The women smiled as she held the alcohol to her daughter's nose. "I'm Hana…" she smiled.
"So that's why there were two women of the same last names on the list…" he thought. "Oh…I'm Sasuke Uchiha." He smirked holding out his hand.
Hana took his hand shaking and smiling like a goofball. She wasn't very old, she must've been at least 14 when Ai was born. Hana had long black hair and turquoise eyes like Ai. Ai woke up, her eyelids fluttering as Hana helped her into a sitting position.
"Mama…" she turned to look at Sasuke. Her eyes widened again, but she didn't faint. "Uchiha-sama…." She gasped noticing that he was still there.
"Sasuke to you." He smirked. "Or….Sasuke-kun…but I…prefer just Sasuke."
Her mouth was agape looking at the man she had been in love with since she was so young. "Okay…..I'm…Ai."
He decided to be nice. "I like your name, it means love, eh?"
She nodded and got up, she was a little taller than Sakura, Ai looked at him. "Why…are you here….?"
"I noticed your name on my list of potential wives and I chose you." He smirked.
Her eyes widened again. "Are you serious?" she asked her voice squeaking slightly.
"Yes."
Her mouth formed a small smile at first and then she grinned until her perfect pearly whites were looking at him in their perfect pearly formed. There was no mistaking it; she had a very beautiful smile.
"Thank you." She said shaking his hand. "I won't disappoint you."
He smirked. "I'm sure you won't." she said taking her hand.
"Thank you so much."
"Before we get married, I would like for us to get to know each other better." He said.
"Of course." She smiled. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
"I'll come back tomorrow morning, you're officially my fiancé." He smirked taking a step closer to her and kissing her on the lips. Her eyes widened in shock but she kissed back. Hana smiled and walked into the kitchen. Ai put her arms around his neck and added pressure to kiss.
"She's…a good kisser." He thought. She closed her eyes.
He broke the kiss smiling. "I'll see you tomorrow then…"
"Yes…" she said smiling.

"Sasuke-teme, who's this?" Naruto asked pointing to Ai. Sakura raised an eyebrow uncaringly eating her ramen.
"This is Ai." He said. "She's my fiancé."
Sakura spit out her ramen looking at Sasuke. Her eyes widened and she broke out into uncontrollable laughter. She had tears in her eyes from the extreme laughter. Naruto rolled his eyes and began to laugh as well.
"You're not serious…." Naruto said laughing.
Sasuke frowned. "Of course I am."
"Aha…aha…Sasuke….fiancé…aha…" Sakura laughed.
"What's so funny?" asked Ai in a tiny voice.
"Sasuke doesn't love anyone, that's what's so funny." Sakura said wiping a tear from her eye and bursting out into more laughter.
Naruto laughed at Sakura's comment.
"That's not true." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Uh huh." Sakura said sarcastically rolling her eyes. "His heart is about the size of a pea and as hard as a rock."
Ai's eyes widened as if she was about to cry. "Don't say that Sakura-san, he is the nicest…most amaz—"
"Yeah." Sakura got up and threw the rest of her ramen out. "You keep telling yourself that."
Sakura smirked walking out into the street, once again breaking into uncontrollable laughter. Sasuke gritted his teeth, hearing her laughter. Naruto smirked.
"Have fun…Sasuke-teme." Naruto said picking up his 6 plates of ramen with ease and leaving.
"Why…why does he call you 'teme'?" asked Ai. "Aren't you friends?"
"He calls me that I call him dobe , it's what we do I guess. " he shrugged.
"What about Sakura-san?" Ai asked curiously. "Wasn't she in love with you a few years ago?"
"That… that was a long time ago Ai, it doesn't concern you." He said.
… Because she's everything, everything…I'm not …
