Chapter 10 – Meeting Itachi Uchiha

...

Slowly I started to wake up to the sound of the birds chirping outside. The bright sun shone lightly through the gap between the curtains. I blinked to fully wake myself. For the first time I realized the smell of Sasuke's room. It had this overpowering scent of masculinity, a smell that truly fitted with Sasuke.

A smile grazed my lips as I remembered almost dismembering Sasuke's family jewels when I purposely hit him with my knee. I honestly think he had been a little bit mad at me. I also recall that I warned him to let go of me, so I think my actions were justified.

I squirmed a little under the covers and realized that, once again, Sasuke had his arms draped over my stomach and he was holding me quite firmly to him. "I wonder if this is how I'm going to wake up for the rest of my life." I thought.

"Sasuke." I called out to him. I was sure he would wake up easily.

"Hn." He grunted; he still seemed half asleep.

"If you still want little Uchiha's someday I suggest you let go." I threatened. I was almost certain that he would let go of me seeing as he knew I would make good on my threat as I did last night, but I realized that he wasn't listening.

"Sasuke." I called once again, hoping he would awake fully this time around.

"Hn." He grunted once again in reply. I grit my teeth. "I'm going to learn how to despise that grunt through this marriage." I thought easily.

I glanced up at his sleeping face. I noticed his calm face as he slept, he seemed very peaceful. I reached my hand towards his forehead to move his bangs out of his eyes. My fingers grazed his forehead and I noticed his very warm temperature. I easily placed my entire palm over his forehead.

"Sasuke, you're pretty hot." I told him a bit concerned.

"Thanks, I get that a lot." He smirked, his eyes still closed. "Now he decides to wake up." I thought.

I frowned. "No, I mean that you're literally hot, as in warm, I think you might have a fever." I removed my hand from his forehead as I stared at his face.

"I'm fine." He answered nonchalantly.

"No you're not fine." I stated. "You're staying home today." His eyes snapped open and he glared at me slightly.

"Don't order me around, Sakura." He said sternly.

"I'm the doctor and I suggest you stay home today. You might just get worse." I told him. "What if you pass out at work?"

"I'm the chief of police I can't take time off work because of a little fever." He stated obviously.

"Can't Naruto fill in for you or something, I'd be happier if you stayed home today." I replied honestly. He stared at me for a moment. I realized his arm still held me tightly to him, but I said nothing, focusing on his fever for the time being.

"Are you worried about me?" he teased.

I huffed. "Fine, go to work and get shot on the job while you're at it."

"Now, don't be mean, Sa-ku-ra." He smirked, knowing I was simply agitated. I ignored him and took his arm from around my waist and placed his hand on my forehead.

"What are you doing?" He inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"Do you feel how warm my forehead is?" I asked him, ignoring his question entirely. He gave an uncertain nod of his head. I then took his hand and placed it on his own forehead. "Do you feel the temperature difference; you have a fever, it would be better if you stayed home." I explained.

I hoped he would listen to reason, but also knew that Sasuke is a real stubborn mule and it might take hours to convince him. He was silent and I was just about to nag in his ear some more when there was a knock on the front door.

"Who could possibly be here at this hour?" I questioned loudly as I got out of bed to see who was at the door. I glanced at the time and saw that it was still early. "I'll get the door." I told Sasuke and headed downstairs.

I reached the front door and after unlocking it opened it wide to see who it was. I blinked as I stared at the rather handsome man standing on Sasuke's doorstep. I was stunned into silence as I stared at the unknown man who slightly resembled Sasuke.

"Good morning, I'm sorry to bother you at this hour, but is Mr Uchiha available?" he asked politely.

At that time Sasuke was on his way downstairs to hear me speak. I realized he would hear me. "Hi, nice to meet you, you must be the new and improved version of Sasuke." I was joking and Sasuke knew that be he didn't seem too happy as he came to stand behind me.

I heard him growl low in his throat and turned to look at him smiling. "I was just kidding, you know." I admitted.

"Hn." He grunted, his attention not really on me, but on the stranger I knew nothing about.

"Oh please spare me." I rolled my eyes at Sasuke's normal grunt.

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke questioned our visitor. I turned to look at him again. I could tell Sasuke didn't want him here.

"I'm here on police business and to meet my new sister-in-law of course." I nearly choked on my own spit as I stared at the man I now knew was Itachi Uchiha.

"We can talk about police business when I get to work and Sakura has her own job to get to, so leave." I swear Sasuke bit back a snarl. I realized in that instant that Sasuke really disliked his older brother.

I gave Sasuke a light backhand on his chest. "Why don't you invite him inside." I said. "I could make something to drink."

"Unfortunately I can't stay very long." Itachi replied. I nodded in understanding before glancing at Sasuke, noticing that he was covered in a cold sweat.

"Sasuke, you should be in bed." I nearly scolded, worriedly.

He turned his glare from his brother towards me and I nearly gasped at its intensity. For the first time Sasuke's glare was angry. Usually he would glare at me playfully, but I realized that I shouldn't have said anything.

Itachi smirked knowingly. "Just as I thought, you don't love this girl, do you?" Our eyes turned to Itachi. "You're playing mother and father for a fool."

"I'd rather play them for a fool that marry Karin." Sasuke stated.

"Karin?" I thought. "His dad wanted him to marry my arch nemesis?" I was taken back in time to a girl with red hair, wearing glasses. Her fists connecting with my body as she beat me.

"Tell me Sakura," I blinked as Itachi addressed me. "What is Sasuke giving you to play along with this game, money perhaps?"

I was taken aback with his straight-forward attitude and presumptions. "No." I replied too shocked in the moment to think of a better comeback.

"What then?" he asked. "What could you possibly gain from this fake marriage?"

I wanted nothing more to shut the door in his face and walk away, forgetting that he ever came this morning. My shock subsided and I turned my own glare on the older Uchiha. "Don't presume to know what's going on, Itachi, last I checked it's rude to stick your nose into other people's business."

I saw his eyes widening a slight fraction before his face turned blank. "Leave." Sasuke commanded, none too gently.

"Fine, I don't have any more time to waste anyway." Itachi said and then left. I shut the door and passed Sasuke walking into the kitchen.

I stood in the middle of the kitchen without saying a word. Sasuke joined me. "Do you think he's going to tell your father?" I asked Sasuke.

"I don't know." Sasuke answered honestly. "Itachi only does whatever benefits him."

I gave a nod and continued to stare at the floor, thinking about how Sasuke had glared at me. I decided that he had every right to. I was ordering him around like he was a child when in fact he's a grown man.

Sasuke walked up in front of me grasping my chin with his thumb and forefinger. He gently urged me to look at him. I met his onyx gaze. "Sorry, for glaring at you like that." He apologized.

"It's okay, I probably deserved it." I admitted, trying to pull my face from his grasp, but he wouldn't let me pull away.

"No," he said. "You didn't," I started to smile just as a small smirk met his lips.

"Are you still going to work today?" I decided to ask. Sasuke shook his head letting his hand fall from my chin to his side.

"I'll stay home for today." He said. "I'm starting to get a headache."

"Okay." I smiled brightly, happy I had won this round. "Get some rest. Drink lots of fluids. Don't overdress your temperature will only rise. Take a bath in tepid water to bring down your fever. I'll get some Tylenol at the hospital for you."

Sasuke gently took my by the shoulder. "Calm down, you worry too much." I took a breath.

"I have to get ready for work." I suddenly stated pulling away from Sasuke's grasp and heading upstairs to get dressed.

…

"So how was your date?" Ino asked after I entered the hospital.

"What no 'Hello Sakura'?" I questioned. Ino gave me a look that clearly said she wanted to know what happened.

"Come on Sakura, I'm itching to know about your date." Ino admitted pleading me with her eyes.

I laughed lightly. "Okay, but promise not to freak out." She gave a curt not as she leaned in. "I'm getting married."
