Sasuke walked swiftly in the pouring rain as Sakura waited in the shed. After he reached to his sports bike he wore his drenched hoody jumper back on. Then he got on the bike, wore his helmet, started the engine and sped off to pick up Sakura.

He saw her waiting under the shed as he had told. She looked a little wet. He stopped and took off his helmet.

"Is that your bike?" she asked him.

"Yes, any problem?" he replied and she shook her head as she waked towards him.

She put her hand on his shoulder for support as she got on his bike. After she was on Sasuke put his helmet back on. He felt her feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Hold on tight," he said before speeding off.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier and it was getting darker. Sakura couldn't help but pray to reach home early to get off bike looking at the way he rode it. Each time he took a turn she always slid from her seat.

"Could you be a lot careful?" she shouted in the pouring rain.

"You're the one who wants get home early," he shouted back.

"Yes, but not in this way. If I travel in this way I wouldn't live to see tomorrow," she snapped making Sasuke roll his eyes behind the black face shield.

After a long ride they finally reached to the gates of Sakura's house. She got off from his bike. It was still raining madly. As Sasuke was ready to leave Sakura grabbed his arm and looked at her with a questioning look. She then pulled off the face shield of the helmet.

"Thanks," she said as the rain battered them.

"Not a problem," he said taking off the helmet revealing his handsome face.

Damn he looks hot.

"Was there anything else?" he asked before he could leave.

"Yeah," she said. "It's about you and Naruto."

"I don't have time for this," he said putting back his helmet.

"Look I just want you two to make things right with each other," she said hastily.

"It's not as easy," he said.

"Well, then try staying away each other's way."

"I will if he does," he replied.

"Well, try," said Sakura.

"I will," he replied.

"Thank you so much," she said happily hugging him. "I can always count on you."

"Ya, you can," he replied hugging her back, blushing a little but thanks to the rain and the helmet nothing could be seen.

It was 3am and it was still raining and Sasuke had finally reached his home. After entering the house, which all very quiet, he made his way up to his room which was besides his big brother's room. When he turned the door knob he heard a loud sigh come from his brother's room. He noticed that Itachi's door was kept half open. Worried and curious Sasuke reached for the door knob, pushed the door slowly and entered in the room without permission.

There he saw his brother sitting on his bed with his head in his hands. It was long since Sasuke saw his brother this frustrated. Itachi noticed his brother's presence and looked up. He didn't look mad or angry at him. Usually he would glare at anyone who came in without permission.

"Is everything alright?" Sasuke took the courage to ask. Itachi sighed again.

After a long silence he finally spoke.

"Shishiu got killed," he answered and Sasuke's eyes widened.

"What?" Sasuke said really loudly. "How did this happen?"

"People are out still investigating," Itachi replied reaching out for the glass of wine on his bedside.

Now Sasuke was really worried. He never usually saw his brother drinking. Only when he was dead frustrated or devasted. And why wouldn't he be? Uchiha Shishiu was Itachi childhood best friend and Itachi used look up to him like his older brother. Shishiu was also a representative of the Uchiha clan to the Yukemura clan.

"I'm sorry," Sasuke said.

"It's okay," Itachi said and Sasuke could see he was quite drunk and that there was something else bothering him.

"You should go to sleep," Itachi said breaking his thoughts. "We'll talk tomorrow," with that he got up and slowly walk inside the bathroom and shut the door.

"Hai," Sasuke whispered.

While back in his room and safely back in his warm bed, he had a lot of thoughts going on.

"Can't believe he's dead," he thought as a face of a handsome man with short raven and onyx eyes flashed in his minds.

TRRRIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGGG

Sasuke groaned under his duvet as he was woken by the alarm clock. He pushed the duvet off him and forced himself off the bed.

TAP

He switched off the alarm and stalked towards the bathroom. After having a cold and then warm shower he quickly changed in to a pair of cargo shorts and a folded sleeves shirt. He didn't bother to put his studs back on. He put his black sneakers on and exited the room after grabbing his bag.

He found Itachi's bedroom's door open. He quietly peered inside and found that his brother wasn't in there. He thought his brother probably went out to find more about Shishiu.

After a quick breakfast he rushed out of the house. He looked at his digital wrist watch. It was 9 am, he didn't have any proper sleep but he could still go on and besides he didn't want to be late for his work. He still had 35 minutes left so he decided to jog till there. So, after plugging in to his i-Pod he slowly started to jog. It wasn't the best idea to run after he had just eaten but he felt like he needed fresh air.

While jogging he went past countless people most he recognised were his school mates but they didn't recognise him for he had his hood on. It helped him avoid people like the fan girls or the photographers. After 20 minutes or so he stopped in front of a huge CD store Up Front the place where he worked during weekends. When he had first come to ask for jobs in that place everyone looked at him like he was asking for money.

"Yo," said a brown haired guy named Genma as Sasuke entered the staff room taking off his bag and jumper.

"Hello Sasuke-kun," greeted a woman with short black hair.

"Hello Shizune-ne-san," Sasuke greeted back.

"You're not that early today," she said lifting a carton full of CDs.

"I decided to walk," he said rubbing the back of hid head with is palm and Shizune smiled.

"How's Itachi?" Genma asked with his eyes on the magazine.

"Fine," he replied.

"I'll be out there," said Shizune after raising an eye brow at Genma's question.

"I heard about Shishiu," said Genma after Shizune left.

"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked quite rudely.

"You probably know what I'm talking about," Genma replied now looking at Sasuke. "Nothing stays under cover for too long you know. But you don't have to worry the press still don't know about this."

"How can you be so sure?" Sasuke asked eyes narrowed a little.

"Don't you think if they knew it would on the TV straight away?"

"More importantly how do you know about this?" Sasuke asked.

"We've got our sources kiddo," Genma replied getting up putting his badge with his name on.

"You mean all the White Fangs' members know about this," Sasuke said quite aloud.

"Nah," he said. "Only the few of us were told. Anyways its time to go to work now. Let's chat sometime later yeah?" After that he quickly exited the room without another word.

Sasuke was left standing with several questions playing in his mind.

"Bloody hell," he thought. "So that means Kakshi might know about this as well."

"Excuse me," called another girl.

"I'll be there right away," Sasuke said while going through the shelves of CD. "There you go," he said with a bit of a relief when he gave the CD that the customer had asked. The girl smiled and took it from his hand brushing his hand with her fingers a little.

"How can I help you?" he asked another girl. He sometimes regretted working there. The store was always packed during weekends and every customer who were mostly the girls of his age asked for his help like he was the only worker around. It really annoyed him sometimes. They used to ask for items he had never heard and even if he found one they wouldn't really buy it but still work was work. After tiring hours he slumped back on the chair behind the counter exhausted.

"Having a break?" one of the workers asked handing him a glass of water.

"Break from all those annoying customers," he answered bluntly drinking the water.

The man smiled and returned back to his work.

"I think we should put on the counter than out there," Shizune said as she approached him.

"That might be a night mare," he said.

"Well, you draw the customers in," she said smiling.

"More like fan girls from school," he said dully.

After a short break he was back in his work. And this time Genma was having the same trouble as he was.

"Serves him right," he thought watching Genma running from shelf to shelf.

Then he felt a pat on his shoulder.

"Yes how can i help you?" he said rolling his eyes and turning around.

"Well you can help me a lot," Sakura said with a smile.
