Working for Mr. Sasuke Uchiha

Chapter 10: Complicated

The characters from "Naruto" belong to Masashi Kishimoto

Not a sound was made in the suite bedroom 1150, as the pair inside the suite stayed asleep. It had barely begun to brighten for a new day outside and to the couple inside the suite it went without being noticed. The raven haired corporate man who was known to be stone cold, ruthless, and fierce had his arms around his cherry haired maid.

The two had ended up talking about various things the night before and managed to make it back into her suite to continue their discussion. A few more kisses had been added here and there but nothing more, they innocently fell asleep on the bed together once they had exhausted all the subjects for the night. Here is where they laid together both facing the window to the balcony, with Sasuke's arms around Sakura's waist as they slept their soundly together.

They would have continued to do so if Sasuke's internal clock had not kept him from waking up, although he had 'slept in' from his usual time. He slowly opened his coal eyes and blinked before glancing around the room as he felt another body pressed against his. He looked down to see Sakura's hair in a mess and couldn't help but grin. He knew he had to get up and go to his meeting but taking that chance to wake her up was something he didn't want to do.

He slowly started moving his arms out from under her and around her waist slow and steady. As he was almost home free a delicate pale hand grabbed his wrist and a soft muffled whisper was heard from the sleeping beauty before him, "Your leaving already Sasuke?.."

He couldn't help but continue to grin as he leaned down and placed a small kiss on her forehead as he nodded, "Yes I have meetings today remember Sakura? Now stay here, and I will come get you for lunch alright?" Sakura nodded slowly as Sasuke slipped out of the bed and started to make his way out of the room before he glanced back at her and said gently, "It is 6:30 so please get some more sleep."

Sakura turned onto her side facing him as she nodded once more and smiled back at him, "Of course, Mr. Sasuke and please don't get too angry with the idiots at the meeting." Sasuke smirked at her and nodded back to her, "I will get angry at them but not out of control, if I do you will be here to be my comforter." Sakura blushed once more as she smiled at him and he gave a quick wave and left her room.

Sakura had woken up around 9:00 am, she had slept in just a little more before she had gotten herself ready for the day. She took an extra long time taking a long shower, shaving her legs, and putting on this special lotion she absolutely loved to wear on occasion. She had also ordered room service for breakfast as she got ready in the morning. She even had the television on in the background playing some music as she danced around and got ready for the day, for her lunch with Sasuke.

While it was getting close to noon she was getting more excited about lunch and seeing Sasuke. She felt rather silly thinking of such things and feeling like a high school girl with her first boyfriend. She had butterflies in her stomach whenever she thought about him and she couldn't help but smile as she thought about the night before. How he had confessed of his liking to her and they had shared that kiss on the balcony. She glanced out onto the balcony as she bite her bottom lip and giggled to herself. Before she heard a knock coming from her door, glancing at the clock on the television she noticed it was almost noon and thought he was done with his meetings early.

Walking over to the door she looked at herself in the full length mirror as she smiled at her red dress that reached her knees and a heart shaped top with thin straps. She had a small black thin coat over her dress to hide her bandages once more. She smiled as she opened the door and then she couldn't help but get a cold chill down her back as she stared up at the man before her.

"Excuse me sir, do I know you?" She whispered as she tried to hold her composure together in front of him. Itachi Uchiha stood right in front of her, he almost looked like Sasuke except he was an older version with different face marks and his eyes seemed almost more..gentle dare she say. He smiled at her as he nodded and said gently to her, "Good day Miss Haruno, I am Itachi Uchiha. Sasuke's brother he asked me to meet him here, he was not answering his room so I was wondering if I could stay in here until he arrives."

Sakura looked at him and didn't know what she should do because the last time the mention of his brother came up he was none to happy about it. Maybe they did not get along but they still were on friendly terms because they had to be, she wanted to call Sasuke but she knew he probably wouldn't answer his phone if he was in a meeting.

Itachi waited for her answer but then he took out his wallet and held out his ID and drivers license and held them out for her to see it. "See? I tell you no lies, I do look like him I am his brother I promise you. I will do nothing to harm you while Sasuke is away. He should be back shortly am I right?" Sakura nodded slowly and placed a delicate smile on her face as she stepped aside to let him in.

Itachi placed his wallet back in his pocket and smiled and bowed at her, "Thank you Miss. Haruno, I am very grateful." Itachi walked in and sat down on the couch in the suite as she closed the door and walked in as she felt a bit nervous about having him there. "Well um Mr. Uchiha, would you like something to drink? a cup of tea?" Itachi nodded and smiled up at her, "Yes if you wouldn't mind."

Sakura nodded and walked into the kitchen as she started to fill up the kettle with water and warm it up on the stove for them to drink. She was feeling nervous the whole time he was there and she wasn't sure how to act. She slowly pulled out her phone to call Sasuke when she heard another knock at the door. Hoping it was Sasuke she turned and rushed to the door and opened to reveal the man she was wishing for just seconds before.

"Sasuke..I'm so glad your here." Sasuke looked past her and in a flash he was in the room and he had pushed Sakura behind him. Itachi looked up noticing his brother entering the room as he stood up and grinned up at him, "Hello dear brother"

Sakura looked at Sasuke as she stood behind him and wondered what was going to happen as she placed a hand on his shoulder, "Sasuke." Sasuke glared at his brother and pushed Sakura further back before he hissed at his brother, "What are you doing here Itachi?" Itachi only shook his head and stood up walking over to them giving a few feet of distance between them.

"I came here for the big firm meeting tomorrow with you, besides that I came here to see how much your hate has grown. Apparently your becoming soft little brother." In a flash, hardly enough time for Sakura to even comprehend it before Sasuke was caught up by the throat against the wall. "So soft that Miss Haruno let me in, I could have easily killed her if I wanted to." Upon impulse Sakura felt as though she had to do something as strength started to build up in her right hand she went to punch Itachi to let go of Sasuke.

While once again Itachi seemed to move at a speed of his own, he kneed his brother in the chest so hard that Sasuke himself spit up a small amount of blood before Itachi threw him to the side and then turned to face Sakura and capturing her fist in his hand. "Miss Haruno, why would you raise your fist to your boss's elder brother?"

Sasuke coughed for a moment before he got up and walked over to the both of them and slapped his brothers hand away from her as he pushed Sakura behind him once more. "You will not touch her brother, or go near her. You hear me?"

Itachi smiled at the both of them again and then said to his brother in a calm voice, "Sasuke, I told you to be filled with hate and here you are becoming soft. We are cursed Sasuke and that is never going to change." Itachi walked towards them as Sasuke gripped on Sakura's hand as Itachi got closer and stopped by Sasuke as he whispered something in his ear which caused Sasuke to grip onto Sakura's hand tighter before he turned and left. "See you tomorrow little brother."

The door closes and Sasuke turns toward Sakura and he couldn't look at her in the face as he said in a monotone voice, "Sakura I need sometime alone please don't leave your room. I will come back later." He turned and walked out of the room as Sakura stood there alone watching him leave. She could not believe all that had just happened in that room, his brother coming in. Acting so nice and being a gentlemen, and then Sasuke showed up and it turned into a small fight. There was more than just sibling disagreement between the two. Sasuke seemed greatly affected by the whole thing and Sakura was not sure how to help him. She could hardly move as she continued to stare at her door feeling helpless.

She finally moved when she heard the tea kettle go off.

Later that evening Sakura wanted to go over to Sasuke's room and see how he was doing. She was nervous to go over and see him since he said he wanted to be alone but Sakura wanted to make sure he was ok, and if he needed someone to talk to. Which she knew sounded weird because he was not the most talkative person in the world by any means. She called room service and asked for Sasuke's favorite wine and had them deliver it to her room.

Once receiving the wine she bite her bottom lip and hoped for the best as she grabbed two wine glasses and walked over to his room and knocked on the door. She heard a few things being knocked over and she almost asked if he was alright before the door opened and Sasuke leaned against the doorframe holding a bottle.

"Sasuke, do you need company?" Sasuke didn't say anything but stepped aside for her to come in as she walked into the room she noticed a few other bottles that were empty on the table already. She turned to look at Sasuke as she said gently, "Sasuke I brought you some wine but I think you already got a head start."

Sasuke said nothing once again and threw away another bottle and grabbed the glasses from her and the wine bottle and poured some wine for the both of them. "Sasuke if you don't want to talk thats fine, I just want to be here for you if you need anything."

Sasuke continued on with his silent treatment as he sipped on the wine before he slowly got up and walked to the sliding glass window on the balcony staring out onto the city. Sakura watched him hardly taking a sip as she bite her bottom lip thinking to herself about him. She wished she could say something or doing something for him, she felt so hopeless in this situation. Seeing it first hand she could see how powerful his older brother was, and that there was history between the two that ran deeper than she realized.

"Itachi, he was the older brother anyone would have loved to have had. He watched over me and protected me, not only that he was very strong and was good at whatever he did. I was always in his shadow." Sasuke gripped onto the wine glass a bit tightly and Sakura waited to hear his words.

"Then one day he was driving with my parents and he flipped the car. Somehow my brother escaped without a scratch, he jumped out of the car just in time before the car flipped and slide off the road and down the cliff. After that day I had not seen him, but I heard rumors of family members slowly getting killed off one by one." Sasuke threw the glass at the wall as it shattered and he turned to face Sakura who was watching him the whole time.

"He killed them, my parents, my family. Everyone I knew and once he was done killing everyone in our family he came back to tell me to hate him. To grow stronger and to tell me that our family was cursed. I believed him and I grew up hating him, loathing everything about him and waiting for my chance to get stronger so I could kill him." Sasuke walked over to his bed and sat on it and placed his head in his hands and stared down at the ground.

"We are a family that does not know of love, we are cursed. I was always suppose to be better than him and to crush him when the chance came. At times I would try and be different from him, to try and prove him wrong. I could try and get close to someone to love them, but every time it was empty. Meaningless." Sasuke let out a sigh and said nothing more, he didn't even move.

Sakura on the other hand gave him a few moments before she stood up and walked over to Sasuke and sat down beside him. She began to reach out with her hand slowly as it started to glow green, she wanted to comfort him to be there for him. Before she was about to comfort him he grabbed her wrist and flipped her back onto the bed.

Sakura gasped softly as she looked up at him, his eyes felt with hurt, pain and guilt. She could hardly take it in before he leaned down and began to kiss her hungrily, he wanted to feel something. He wanted to feel something with her, and he knew it would work with her because it had before. She did something to him that he couldn't explain and at this time he needed it more than ever, he needed her.

He began to kiss her more passionately now as he continued with his hunger and lust for her. She hardly had anytime to breath as he melted into her, his hand found hers and intertwined their fingers together as he continued kissing her. His other hand ran up her leg and slowly began to move dangerously close the further he went up. She gasped and immediately was brought back to her senses as she grabbed his hand moving up her leg and bite his bottom lip to slowly stop him.

She took a few breaths as she whispered against his lips, "Sasuke, your not yourself. You have been drinking, please don't do this. Not now." Sasuke looked into her eyes and was about to get angry with her, but without even realizing it, she had been sending him a calming feeling throughout his body. The hand that gripped onto his to stop him from going further was glowing green.

He slowly let go of his grip as he began to fall over to Sakura's right and he began to mumble underneath his breath. Sakura slowly sat up and placed his head on her lap as she continued to try and calm him down the best she could. "Sakura..I need to feel." He whispered and started to close his eyes, "I need you."

With that last statement Sasuke slowly fell into a deep sleep while Sakura leaned over him and watched his delicate features turn into that of a sleeping child. She couldn't help the tears that fell from her eyes and land on his cheeks, "I will help you Sasuke, I will help you bring him down." She whispered as she leaned down and kissed his forehead, before she too laid down next to him and fell asleep.

-Next Day/After Business Meeting-

As everyone in the meeting began to pack their notebooks, laptops, and such things in their business briefcases Sasuke wanted more than anything else to get out of there first. Sasuke took the fastest getting out of there, or so he thought before he ran into his brother in the hallway. His brother on the other hand merely walked over to him and stated in a firm voice.

"I told you to hate me, raise up and crush me. Now that hate is slowly leaving, your becoming soft. Someone is getting in the way and if your not careful she could bring you down. Might want to watch her." That was it, in an incident he was gone and Sasuke felt and overwhelming panic wash over him as he quickly made it back to the hotel.

Those minutes seemed far too long for him before he was back at the hotel pounding on her door. She answered it quickly to see him standing there out of breath and almost in a panic, "Sasuke..what happened? Is everything alright?"

Sasuke did not say anything he merely just walked over to her and grabbed her and pulled her into an embrace. She was a bit taken back but she hugged him back still and pulled him close to her as she whispered gently, "Sasuke are you sure your alright?"

Sasuke just merely nodded against her, knowing that she was safe was more than enough for him. As she relaxed against him and then stated gently, "Sasuke I want to help you bring your brother down." With that statement alone Sasuke pulled back and looked into her eyes.

"You will do no such thing Sakura, this is my fight and you will not get involved." Sakura was about to protest she wanted to help him, she saw the pain he was in the other night and it broke her heart to see him like that. But then Sasuke stepped into the room and closed the door behind them and he continued, "You are already in enough danger I will not put you in even more danger." Sakura felt as though she was going to be defeated but she wouldn't give up that easily as she looked up at him and stated, "If you won't let me help you that way can help in another?"

Sasuke stared at her for a moment before he nodded slowly and said, "Yes, you will still be my comforter right? As long as your by my side thats enough." Sakura smiled and leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on his lips gently and softly taking in this moment with him before there was a knock on the door. They both pulled away quickly as Sasuke turned and opened the door revealing 5 men in black at the doorway.

"Are you a Mr. Sasuke Uchiha?" said the man in the middle holding out a piece of paper in his hand. Sasuke arched a brow at the man and replied, "I am him, what business do you have with me?" The middle man grinned and gestured to the other men behind him to come forward.

"Mr. Sasuke Uchiha you are under arrest." Sasuke was about to attack the man in front of him before the four other people around him slammed him down on the ground. Sakura was about to stop them before she felt a pair of arms wrap around her and pull her from behind.

Everything happened so fast and it almost seemed like a terrible nightmare, the men who came for Sasuke pointed their guns in Sakura's direction. They fired 12 times, and 2 of the bullets grazed her arm and leg. The man who had grabbed Sakura around the waist was one of the body guards Sasuke had hired and they had taken her out to the back onto the balcony. Climbed up the escape route and left by helicopter. All the while Sakura protested and tried to get away from them, the man who had grabbed her finally told her that they were ordered by Sasuke to take her away if anything like this was to happen. To abandon him, and get her to safety.

She couldn't believe it and before she knew it, her shakey hand reached inside her pocket for her cell phone. She dialed the only person she could think of at the time that could help her out in this situation. She took the time to dial the number perfectly, to make sure she got it right before pressing the call button. After a few rings, a voice on the other end answered.

"Hello?" Sakura couldn't find her voice for a moment before she let out a small hiccup as she tried to keep herself calm enough so he could hear her.

"Naruto, they took Sasuke! I don't know who, but Sasuke is gone. Please bring him back Naruto! Please. They won't let me go back to get him. Please Naruto I'm begging you." She begged as tears streamed down her face and without missing a beat Naruto replied, "It's a promise, I will bring him back Sakura-chan."

So once again I got into a weird mood where I wanted to write this chapter, and I couldn't stop until it was finished.

Added a little fluff, and drama once more.

Thoughts? I tried not to have Itachi too out of character but it is a bit hard sometimes. [sorry! I still hoped you enjoyed it though, I really tried hard with this chapter!]

please R&R I would love to hear your thoughts.
