Chapter 10

Sasuke stared at the moderately pregnant woman with hatred. He studied her from head to toe. Sasuke felt threatened by this woman. She was invading his territory and he didn't like it. Can you have people banned from your count if you dislike them? Sasuke's eyes shot over to Naruto who looked torn. Sasuke didn't know Naruto super well, but he knew Naruto was a nice guy and nice guys always submitted to the bitches request...at least in his experience.

"No." Sasuke spoke suddenly.

Green eyes sharpened at him," I don't remember requesting an audience with you." She spat at him.

Bitch.

"No, you don't get to talk to him. You broke his fucking heart. Your pregnant and don't even try to pin the baby on him. You've gone how long without talking to him and suddenly decide to fly across the the United States and the Atlantic Ocean to profess your undying love, right? Fuck no. Let me say this on his behalf, go fuck yourself bitch." Sasuke spat back.

Naruto, to say the least, was surprised. Sasuke was always so poised and proper and he dropped down to Sakuras level to bitch her out. Why was he the bottom again?

"Oh that's rich. Looks like your trying to use your kid to get Naruto to stay. I don't need your permission to talk to the man I married."

"Yes you do because he's also the man you divorced and is now with this man." Sasuke replied. "As far as my kid goes, I can't help my kid is fucking adorable and attracts blonde hotties that had their hearts ripped out." Ok so Naruto hadn't even seen Hiruzen before agreeing to come here, but Sasuke didn't have to justify her with complete truths.

Naruto was keeping an absolute straight face throughout this. If he even twitched his face may crack and he would start laughing at how absurd this was. Hiruzen stared at the woman before climbing into Naruto's lap since Naruto was the only calm one and Hiruzen was getting a little scared. Naruto held the baby in his lap watching the former and current loves of his life yell at each other in public. He wasn't even embarrassed to be honest. Sakura had met her match in a fight though.

"NARUTO! I came here to talk to you and the least you could do is hear me out." She turned her attention back towards her. Naruto had Hiruzen cradled against his chest and he didn't miss the hurt look Sakura sported. He looked at Sasuke who was glaring hatred in her direction.

"All right, but Sasuke gets to be present."

"Oh hell-" Sakura began.

Naruto held his hand up and shook his head. Naruto knew Sasuke wasn't going to ever consent to Naruto having a private conversation with her. Even though it should be private Naruto wasn't going to shatter his new relationship with a trust issue.

Naruto sighed and waited for her to accept the condition. She shifted her eyes toward the dark haired man and made a face conveying her disgust to him and bit her lip and nodded her head with tight lips.

Naruto could see she was trying to build up her confidence.

"Ok, let's find somewhere more private to go." Naruto said picking Hiruzen up and walking forward knowing the other two would undoubtedly follow. Sasuke threw away the trash and now had a free hand.

"Alright Teme, you know the city best." Naruto said in a bored tone. Sasuke bit his lip and thought about it before pulling his phone out and giving someone his location. A few moments later a black car pulled up and Sasuke opened the door for Naruto to get in the back and Sasuke slid in next to him shutting the door. Sakura got in the front seat. Sasuke put his arm around Naruto's shoulder and Naruto felt slightly emasculated, but he also wanted the ability to call Sasuke an immature overly jealous bastard for life. The more evidence he got, the better.

Sasuke didn't tell the driver anything, the man just took off. They drove for a few minutes before coming to a stop in front of a tall glass building. Sasuke got out of the car first and took Hiruzen from Naruto. Sakura stepped out and her face dropped and Naruto noticed why.

'Uchiha Corporations' was on the door.

"Seriously." Naruto said.

"We will have privacy." Sasuke said uncaring.

"Tachi, Tachi, Tachi!" Hiruzen chimed happily.

Naruto raised an eyebrow and Sasuke answered the silent question, "My brother Itachi. Hiruzen thinks he lives here which isn't a completely out there notion."

They walked through the door and Sasuke saw the receptionist start freaking out. Sasuke had yelled at her a few times and she was probably trying to hide anything she may get yelled out for. They all got in the elevator and Sasuke wished Sakura wouldn't have fit. Sasuke pushed a button to the top floor and it felt like the longest elevator ride of his life. They stepped out and Sasuke saw his secretary and was immediately reminded of so etching very important. Sasuke walked forward and the woman was already having a panic attack. Sasuke walked passed her towards a closed door and Sasuke ignored the secretary and opened the door and shouted, "Watch your nephew!" Before setting the baby down and shutting the door. Naruto saw a man with long black hair who resembled Sasuke simply look directly at him before the door had closed. Sasuke walked back towards them and opened the door nearest his secretary and looked at her before saying something he'd been longing to say, "You're fired." And with that he walked into his office.

Naruto followed him inside as did Sakura who watched the woman burst into tears.

Naruto looked around the officer and noticed how different it was from Sasuke's home. There was complete uniformity throughout the entire office. And there was a white canvas with black paint thrown on to it. It was very clean and organized. Sasuke sat in his chair and Naruto took the chair on the left and Sakura on the right. Sasuke decided to make things even more awkward by placing his elbows on the table and staring at Sakura waiting to hear what she had to saw.

Sakura turned her body away from him and faced Naruto.

"I messed up.."

"No shit." Naruto replied.

"And I would like for you to give us another chance." She stated simply.

Sakura could be very over bearing and childlike, but Naruto respected her trying to act like an adult.

"Sakura, you broke my trust. I can't trust you. You know I believe how important that is for a successful relationship."

"You know me Naruto! How much do you really know about him?"

"I'll tell Naruto anything he wants to know. All he needs to do is ask. I'll tell him the truth right up front." Sasuke stated.

Sakura made a face. "Anything. Prove it."

Naruto saw the childish antics rearing its ugly head before Naruto looked at Sasuke. Naruto was having a problem honestly coming up with a question for him.

"What's the stupidest thing you have ever done?"

"Drunk or sober?" Sasuke answered quickly.

Naruto paused before going with the safer of the two. "Sober."

When I was 13 I decided I was a complete badass and got a tattoo on the juncture of my neck. It was done by my brother's friend Sasori. It hurt like a bitch but I didn't cry at least."

Naruto raised his eyebrow. "What happened to said tattoo."

"My mother found out and had it removed, which is more painful than getting one." Sasuke answered.

Naruto stared at him happy with the answer and turned back to Sakura.

"What's the stupidest thing you ever did?" Naruto asked her.

"Cheating on you..." Sakura answered quietly.

"Damn right it is, except a laser can't change that." Naruto said a little saddened.

Sasuke rubbed the base of his neck in the juncture on the left hand side.

"I'm really sorry..." Sakura said on the verge of tears.

"I know you are. And I forgive you. I just can't take you back. That bridge is burned Sakura. We can be friends, but that's all." Naruto finished. He knew his ex-wife felt bad, but he wasn't going to force himself to be unhappy. Being with Sasuke made him realize he would be happier without her and he knew he wasn't supposed to be with her. Naruto got up and hugged her and rubbed her back. Sasuke glared at her accepting the fact his Dobe was nicer than him.

"How's everything with the baby going?" Naruto asked trying to change the subject.

"Good... I suppose. I broke up with the father."

"Sorry to hear that." Naruto said politely.

"Yeah", Sakura said while rubbing her hands down her thighs.

Sasuke momentarily felt bad because he wondered if he'd made Karin feel the same abandonment, but also realized Sakura had some sanity in here.

"What are you going to do now?"

"I am going to see London... Just like I'd planned when we first got married." Sakura said and then pursed her lips. She pulled her purse in her lap and pulled out an envelope and handed it to Naruto.

"I figured if you took me back we could go to the Harry Potter studio... But I don't think that's going to happen."

"You don't like Harry Potter." Naruto began.

"No, but you do." Sakura answered while looking at the ground.

The door opened suddenly and a man with the thickest eyebrows Naruto had ever seen walked in.

"Mr. Uchiha! Your secretary has been removed from the premises!" The man shouted.

"Thank you... Mr. Lee." Sasuke said while surprise disappeared from his face.

"Who is this fair maiden?" The giant eyebrow man said having noticed the somewhat distraught Sakura.

A smile lifted on Naruto's face when he noticed Sakura blush at the comment.

"This, my good sir, is Sakura. She is here unaccompanied and would like someone to take her sightseeing. She's also single." Naruto said the last part very quickly.

Before the man could say anything else, Sasuke said "You can have the whole week off, if you escort her around."

That got rid of two problems for him. Rock lee, the enthusiastic employee and Sakura, his competition who was rejected but may try again both gone.

The man's face lit up. "I, Rock Lee, would be absolutely thrilled to escort you around." He said bowing and extending his hand.

Sakura had a hand on her pregnant stomach, and she knew the man could tell she was pregnant, but he obviously didn't care. She accepted the hand and looked at Naruto and said," This is a Funky Town." Before leaving.

Sasuke watched her leave and he looked at Naruto who shook his head and started laughing.

"What?"

"It was a line from when we were in a High School play. Funky Town means if I turn up missing call the cops. He isn't a psycho murderer is he?" Naruto asked seriously now kind of worried.

"No, he's a perfect gentleman. He's the only person I have ever met to compliment everyone."

"What's his compliment to you?"

"I am the most fortunate man he's ever met having been blessed with looks and money."

Naruto laughed, "Sounds like it might be laced with jealousy." Sasuke shrugged at the response.

"Now, Mr. Uzumaki. What are your qualifications?" Sasuke started already pleased that he'd gotten his way and gets to keep his blonde to himself and away from her.

Naruto laughed and decided to humor him," I can be entertaining for hours and I love sitting around all day eating ramen."

"Fantastic. You're hired." Sasuke said before pulling out a stack of papers from his desk and dropping them in front of Naruto who looked confused.

"I will have a work visa filled out for you. Itachi knows a few people so it can be expedited."

"Wait, what?" Naruto asked.

"As you can see this company has a job opening for a personal assistant and secretary to me. And I'm not going to lie; the idea of being able to do my secretary is appealing." Sasuke murmured the ending to himself.

"That's also a serious problem in HR." Naruto drawled.

"They won't say a damn thing. Itachi does his secretary too."

Naruto took the pen and started filling out the papers, "Your something else you know that?"

"Yes. I do."

Naruto smiled as he filled out the application.

"I don't do skirts Teme."

"Damn..." Sasuke said jokingly.

Sasuke swiveled in his chair with a grin that was akin to the cat that had caught the canary. He was all too pleased with himself. He decided Naruto was his, and it would stay that way. And now that Naruto was conveniently living with him… it would be nice to have him around the office. And when Sasuke was ready to make his move… he would bring said blonde with him. Naruto wasn't going to escape his clutches…

"Teme… creepy laughing isn't a good sound coming from you. Keep your inner demons locked up, kay?"

Sasuke straightened his face and stopped swiveling.

Sasuke was actually kind of content with his life… now if Karin could disappear his life would be perfect.
