Announcements and Trick Questions
What the hell did she do in her other life to deserve this?
She ground her teeth unconciously as she re-read her latest mail invitation. She should've filed this under junk.
To: Ms. Haruno.S
From: Uchiha.F
You are cordially invited to the Uchiha's anuual celebration of companies as one of the most respected guests. We would be very much pleased if you are able to attend as this has many business potential for your company. Also, Fugaku has made your invitation a priority so therefore, you are to come. Feel free to bring a guest aswell. We are looking forward to your arrival. Tomorrow it shall begin at 7:00 pm. Attire is formal. There are no buts to this invite Ms. Haruno, you are to attend.
Truly,
Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha.
" The hell? I have no choice then, you bunch of pompous bastards with confusing invitations!" She threw the invite angrily to the ground. Gaara, picked it up curiously, eyeing the envelope with narrowed eyes. They had been dating for nearly 3 months now and she had moved into his house a couple weeks before. Sakura was estatic when he had initiated the idea, he ofcorse was thoroughly surprised and had spent the entire day showering her with his love and attention. Even with that, her mind wondered to a certain, frustratiing man. The man that broke her heart. The man that she had loved and unfortunatly for her, she still loved. She hoped Gaara didn't see how her mind wondered...
" Sakura, is this another love-letter from a man? " Gaara's voice dark and threatening as he glared at the letter.
"Huh-No! Not that one atleast, but I'm being forced to come to a stupid "get together" " She used her hands to mimick quotation marks.
His eyes were stoic and blank as he read. It hadn't changed even as he set it down, making his way to her side.
She peered up at him, examining his face. His eyes were smoldering slightly as he bent down to her ear.
"It says you are free to bring a guest..." his voice tickled her lightly.
"No way." Her lips tightened, refusing to give-in to the matter.
"Hmm..why not though? I am quite curious. Perhaps, you feel that we are not close eno-"
"Ofcourse not!" Her cheeks tinged red as she recalled their recent love escapades. They were plenty close. Especially since she had moved in. Seems that she shouldn't wear " red night gowns" infront of Gaara. He loved that color as much as he loved his damn chocolate chip cookies. She remebered when she had taken a picture of him, happily muching on a cookie with a crumb stuck near his cheek. Very good blackmail on her part.
" I-I just don't want to go anyways so..." she staggered back a little when he started to sniff her, admiring her womanly scent.
Using his nose, he guided himself down her neck, brushing at the more sensitive spots and teasing the flesh with his tongue. She moved her neck to the side as to allow him more room, succumbing to his ministrations.
" Please...?" His voice was breathy when he reached for her hand.
"Uh..umm...okay?" she said uncertainly, insure of what she was agreeing to, not to mention what they were talking about seconds ago.
He smirked triumphantly and brought her hand to his lips,
"Very well then, I have a feeling you will be needing me as you do your " women activities ".
She raised an eyebrow at that.
" I will not be reduced to a cart as you go shopping." He clarified.
She laughed and gave his hand a gentle squeeze.
" Please...?"
Using her lips she began a pout adding empahsism to her teary, green eyes. she sniffed a little, wiping away a fake tear.
"Gaara-kunnn?"
She stared at her. Quite bluntly too. Sakura was beginning to think it wasn't working before,
"Hn, fine. I'll hold your bags but," there were always a "but" to everything.
"you owe me alot more than a kiss by the end of the day." He walked away, hands behind his head.
A grin made it's way to her face,
And that is why you always say please.
((It's rude to say No. XD))
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just because she didn't want to go, didn't mean she wasn't going shopping. Gaara and Sakura had spent most of the day shopping at various stores and window-shopping. While she tried on dresses, Gaara, watched as she ran energetically from shop to shop. He loved how her face was glowing when he had complimented the dresses she wore, or how she blushed when he oogled her too long. Placing his hands behind his back and putting his feet up he sighed contently. She's trying the red one next.
Sure enough, Sakura jumped out've the dressing room, clad in a red, strapless dress with ribboning bows on the front, for the cake? Backless. He bit his tongue when she turned around, revealing her creamy back and neck. She was too busy smiling and running her hands down the material to notice Gaara's unlingering gaze.
" So, how do you like it Gaara? " She asked idly, as casually as she could.
His eyes darkened, his strides predatory.
" You are absolutely terrible, you know that Sakura?" His voice was strained and slightly hoarse.
Her eyes widened, her smile turning into a frown. " Fine. then I'll-"
" Your terrible for torturing me like this, knowing I can't do anything to you in public. Absolutely terrible Sakura..." He purred, grabbing her by the waist and into the dressing room. Minutes later...
Moaning could be heard through the stall as bystanders ran for the hills. It only became louder and people blushed as they heard the couples "activities"
Minutes later, Sakura stepped out, combing her fingers through her hair in an attempt to smooth out the tangles. She had changed and bought the dress without giving Gaara any eye-contact. His smile smug when he recongnized her pouting form. As they walked, Gaara chuckled at her pouted lips.
" Should I kiss that pout off your face? Or maybe a good-"
Her cheeks turned crimson and she playfully slapped his arm. " N-No! Don't do anything. "
Gaara had become a whole lot more... daring after they had started dating. It was a nice change, a big change and she loved it. Although, he was
He shrugged and grabbed the bags as she scrambled to his side.
" So, what are we gonna do at home Gaara? "
He was quiet,
" You owe me..."
She laughed and patted his head,
" I'll make you some cookies when we get home."
It was strange how his eyes always lit up when she mentioned his favourite food. She could always imagine him with a pair of cat ears and matching tail. It was an image she would've loved to keep forever.
" Hn. I'm licking the spoon." he added quietly, walking further ahead.
She laughed brightly,
just like a kid she thought.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke was not amused.
His date, a woman named " Karin." seemed to be stalking him everywhere he went. It wasn't him who asked her to become his date for the upcoming Uchiha celebration. It was his meddling parents idea that she would attend. Attend with him that is. Aren't parents just darling that way?
The outfit she had chosen was much to showy for his liking and by far the most indecent thing a girl could expose herself too.
It was a black dress with two spagetti straps. Two slits on the side and one right in the middle of her chest and neck. Her heels were high and black, with sequins tied onto the straps. Her face was decorated in smoky eyeliner and lots of thick black mascara. At some point, she had mentioned she chose not to war any panties for his benefit. He shuddered at the thought.
Damn, his mother and father basically made him bring a prostitute to the party. With their permission.
" Sasuke-kunnnn," she cooed, " let's go to my house tonight..."
He ignored her, spacing out slightly remembering what his father had said earlier...
Flashback
" Haruno Sakura." Sasuke's voice echoed throughout the room.
It was errily silent after he had uttered that name. Fugaku's finger's twined as he thought, a serious expression crawling onto his already intense features.
" Why her, paticularly, Sasuke?" His voice was deep but curious.
He turned away from the window he was at and said rather frustratingly,
" Because I can't get her out'v my head. After I had my time with her, I can't think about anyone else,"
" It's like I'm already married to her and I can't get out." his voice aggitated at the end.
Chuckling was heard from the corner of the room as Fugaku laughed at his son's confusion.
" You truly are ignorrant Sasuke. Your inlove. You have developed feelings for this woman."
Sasuke was appaled. " Inlove?" he said incredously.
"She won't marry you because she claims your a jerk?" Fugaku's laughter was thundering throughout the room.
Once again. Sasuke was not amused.
" Very well then, you are at an age where you need to settle down and your mother will be overjoyed as to hear of the news. I will be able to convince her to marry you. Be sure of that."
Fugaku's voice was positive, starngely so.
" Hn. Thank you father. I should leave before work becomes frantic."
" Our yearly Uchiha corporation party,"
" you will attend escorting a woman named Karin. An announcement will be made and you will know what to do."
Sasuke nodded and made his way out, muttering a good-bye.
End of flashback
Thus brought Sasuke to his situation now. Taking some girl, who was clinging onto him in an annoying fashion, to his parents party.
As the doors opened to the large room, Karin exclaimed excitedly and dragged him across the room to the dance floor. He grunted as she screamed something about how romantic it was if they did a slow dance. He had lost track of what she had said when he saw a flur of pink and red. Sakura.
Sure enough, she was there in all her brilliance. Sasuke's breath held as he took in her appearence. She had gone for the mre charming look, with a fiery red dress and high stllletos that did nothing but lengthen her legs. Her lips were painted a bright shade of red, highlighting her emerald eyes and creamy white skin. And her back, he mentally groaned as he noticed the many men whos; lingering eyes were darting to and from her at a lightening paces. A hand went to her back, guiding her away from the crowd. It was man's hand, one with bright red hair and light blue eyes. Sasuke would admit he was a man worthy of his opponent in looks. He seemed to be Sakura's escort.
Well, they were going to have be seperated now wouldn't they?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura had walked into that party with a bright smile.
Now she felt it was getting alot harder to do that when men, non-single men, were oogling her ass.
Luckily for her, Gaara was there to lead the way and make sure she didn't do anything rash. She smiled at him, silently thanking him for clearing the way. She turned her face around, giggling slightly before she saw a man approach. A Sasuke Uchiha approach. She bit her lip, thankful she wore everlasting lipstick as she bolted to the balcony. She panted slightly, and sighd in relief. Only to gasp as a pair of strong arms engulfed her, the intruders face planted on-top of her head.
"Sakura."
It was indeed, Sasuke.
"Yes, Uchiha-san?" She had hoped her voice was as emotional as she wanted.
"It's you...It's really you this time..." he sighed, bringing her head closer to his.
She tensed. He sounds so desperate, so needy...like he loves me. But he doesn't, he couldn't because that's his game.
"You've been in my head all day..." he said rather stiffly,
"Everything about you..." he picked up her hand, putting it to his face.
"Your hands,"
"Your voice,"
He stroked her throat softly with his hand,
"Even your smell."
He sucked in a breath, playing with a strand of her hair.
"Marry me..."
Sakura's eyes widened as the words registered into her mind. He had to be joking. Toying with her for his own sadistic pleasures. But why was it so hard for her to say no?
Gathering all her will, she uttered with a hard tone,
"No."
He had spun her around, and slammed her against the wall.
" You will Sakura. Because you have and always have been mine. Because you love me."
His lips descended on hers as she attempted to escape. His hands held her back, holding her by her wrists. She struggled and cried out as he bit down on her lip. No, No, No... I can't handle this, not again...I have to run, I have to- Using her shin, she jerked up and kneed him in the groin, watching as he staggered back in pain. She ran after that, back into the room and frantically searched for ,Gaara. She found him conversing with a man, his eyes darting across the room as he searched for her.
She did what all women would do in her situation.
She ran,
watching as he turned his head, eyes widening as
she bounded in her arms.
He fell back slightly, shielding her fall.
"Sakura...?"
"Oh, Gaara...I love you so much..so much..." she sobbed lightly, digging her face into the crook of his neck.
"I...love you too Sakura, I always have..." he stroked her hair lovingly.
"That's why,"
"We have an announcement,"
"Would you-"
"please join us in congratulating, Sasuke Uchiha ,for his new engagement to- "
"Would you,"
"Sakura Haruno!"
"Marry me....?"
They had completely ignored the announcement, only realizing what was just announced when the spotlight was shining down on their forms.
The crowd gasped, and waited in anticipation for Sakura's answer.
"Um,"
"Is this a trick question?"
The crowd was silent.
O.O
