"Enough Karen! I believe this dance has ended!"
The gigantic wooden doors to the ballroom swung open, a huge whistle of cold air swarming in, interrupting the huge announcement that currently took place.
All heads turned to the door. Karen's face fell at the sight in front of her. Gasps were heard as more people realised what just happened. Who just entered.
*_Three Days Earlier_*
"Let's go over the plan once more." Sakura walked back and forth, fidling with her thumbs. This was probably the hundredth time they had went over this plan. But she wanted it perfect.
Charako sighed. She was nervous. Obviously. She was going to get her fiancé back and clear Charako's name, yet strangely they had never really spoke about Sasuke. She always kept her cool.
"Sakura, why is it that you haven't once asked about Sasuke?" Charako asked cautiously.
Sakura stopped and looked at him. She shook her head. She didn't want to think about him now. He's her weak spot and she daren't become weak now. Not when she had a window to stop this joke.
"The plan, Charako. Give me the plan, don't get distracted." Sakura finger combed her over the shoulder long hair. "C'mon now Charako."
"The gaurds gaurding the—" Sakura dove towards Charako and covered his mouth. The force pushing them back and over. Charako raised an eyebrow at their position.
That very moment, voices were heard in the swampy area of the forest.
"Nothin' here." A voice stated. It was gruff and soft.
"Must of been a passing deer then." Another said. His voice thicker.
They waited a few more minutes before they moved. Charako nodded when Sakura looked back at him.
'Great.' He thought. "Moving day. Why do I feel like a child being dragged around the world by his parents that keep moving so that they stay together." He said beneath his breath.
"That's it!" Sakura whispered as if she was a kid seeing a new bicycle that came out just yesterday.
"What's it?" Charako lifted a low hanging palm branch, allowing Sakura through.
"The missing piece of our puzzle! How could I have been so blind?" She turned to face Charako. The young lad had held up his hands in surrender.
"Whatever you've figured out, I don't know anything about it. Nothing, I swear, I'm clean." He confessed.
"No, you're not. New part of the plan!" Sakura dropped to her knees and cleared the sandy floor. Charako sighed. He picked up a stick laying near him and gave it to her. Sakura accepted and started and began planning.
"You called us mother." Sasuke stepped in after the 'Sakura' designed Karen. Mikoto noticed they weren't holding hands. She smiled slightyly.
"Problems?" Mikoto waved for them to be seated.
"Problems?" The voice over 'Sakura' asked. Karen looked at Sasuke who stood by the window, eyes locked with the view outside.
"No, nothing of the sort. Tell her Sasuke." Karen's voice went sweet as she mentioned his name.
'Problems? Like yeah! Who's this new Sakura?' Sasuke yelled in his head. He glanced down at the digital numbers were. Under the emblem where the first parts of their names.
SasuSaku. A name their friends gave them when they started hanging out. He smiled and then looked out the window again. The smile gone. Though not unnoticed. Mikoto and Karen had noticed.
Mikoto smiled. She knew the reason for that smile. Karen looked away. Unassure of her next move.
"It doesn't matter." Mikoto took her sticky-note pad and scribbled something on it. "Here." She handed it to Karen. "It's a name, number, address and date at a relaxation resort. Booked and paid for."
"A couples resort? Why?" Karen glanced at the dark haired man/boy in front of her.
"To relax ofcourse." Mikoto's attention drifted to her younger son. She studied his features. His clenched jaw indicated seriousness. That was the only way you could tell emotion when it came to her three Uchiha men.
Sasuke's eyes met his mother's perfect onyx orbs. He glanced back out the window.
"She should go. Take Ino with you." He spoke up for the first time.
"A couple's resort. Couple. She and I aren't even—" Karen stopped. She almost gave herself away. "She and I aren't even a couple."
"But you are friends. Besides, I'm going in with the rest of the guys. I've been putting them off long enough." Sasuke was ignoring the real reason. He didn't want to go simply because he wasn't in love with this Sakura.
But foolishly he believed she could change back when all this was over. This wedding.
"She's right Sasuke." Mikoto sat back into her seat. "To get married you need three kind of loves: You need to love each other like best friends, like brother and sister. Pholio love."
Mikoto reached out and lifted a photo of them four Uchiha's.
"The second kind of love, is the exotic love. The bedroom love. The kind that's there for fun and pleasure." She placed the photo bakc down.
"The third," She continued. "Is the love for each other. The love for your partner no matter if she's pink or if he's green. You need to love that person's faults and all their forms. That person's failures and successes. If you don't have all three of those or even one of them, why are you two even talking about marriage?"
A/N: Here's the long awaited update! I hope y'all enjoyed it! I've been so damned busy that I really hadn't the time for this and anything else.
I'm going to start a wattpad page/profile so if you want to read and follow me on there I'll post it all in my profile.
Keep well and remember! Stay sweet!
