Chapter 11
With that said, Sasuke walked back towards Sakura, three wide sets of eyes staring after him. Neji was the first to snap out of the trance, putting on an irritated look as he glared at Sasuke's retreating back. "The nerve." Neji scowled, crossing his arms and looking at the other two.
Temari sweat-dropped. "Jeez, the way he acts, you'd think he was raised by the grim reaper." she muttered. "He needs to take a damn chill pill."
"I think I just shat myself." Shikamaru piped in, shuddering a little as Sasuke glanced their way. He hid behind Temari, who raised a bemused brow. "You guys can fight him and die if you want to, but I'm not up for committing suicide thanks. Good luck with that."
"My Hero." Temari rolled her eyes and sighed. "Let's get back to the others, they're probably confused, and I'm not up for explaining anything, if we stay any longer, they probably won't drop it." With that she pulled Shikamaru by his ear and sauntered back to the group. Neji just shook his head and a whining Shikamaru as he followed the odd couple.
While those three were having their little discussion, Sakura was questioning Sasuke on what exactly happened during their little chat. "Nothing, Sakura, it's fine." Sasuke replied, feeling less tense now that his arms were back around Sakura's petite body. The others had already given up trying to get any info out of him, and simply waited for the remaining three to get back, so that they could go to the movies.
"But Sasuke-kun-" Sakura protested. She didn't like the way those three looked at Sasuke when they were together. It made her antsy. Sasuke being tight-lipped about it didn't help the feeling any.
"Drop it Sakura." Sasuke commanded, cutting her off before she could go any further.
"...Yes Sasuke-kun..." Sakura murmured, pouting slightly as Sasuke frowned at her. Sasuke, feeling a tad guilty, kissed her hair gently and let his eyes soften as she smiled tentatively back at him.
I only want to say one thing. Screw things up with her and I will rip my unreal ass out of your mind and strangle you.
'...hmph, as if I would allow that to happen. What do you take me for?'
Just saying.
'Aa.'
… she's looking at you.
'Hn.'
I always have loved her eyes.
'Hair's better.'
But y'know what's the best?
'Answer that and I will strangle you.'
I was gonna say her lips... what were you thinking?
Sasuke stayed silent at that. It seemed he was unable to look at Sakura right now.
...you bastard.
'Shut up.'
"Well, so what movie are we going to-" Tenten was promptly cut off.
"THE EXPENDABLES." Naruto yelled out, jumping up and down like a prawn on steroids.
'When anyone asks me if I have any pets... I know my answer.'
"...the expendables it is..." Tenten sweat-dropped.
"YAY! I'm gonna get a bucket of popcorn and a super mega large drink, OH did you know they give ramen now? I am so..." Everyone soon tuned him out and had their own personal chats, leaving Hinata to deal with the blabbermouth.
"Ne, Sasuke-kun... how much is it going to cost?" Sakura asked.
"It doesn't matter. I'm paying." Sasuke replied.
"Mm-kay Sasuke-kun!" Sakura chimed happily, she should be used to it by now.
"Oh, Sakura-chan! The girls and I are gonna go shopping, you wanna come with? After the movie, I mean!" Ino beamed, spinning to face her.
"She's not going." Sasuke said straight away, not even bothering to look at the girl and just continued to talk to Shikamaru (they started talking when Shikamaru tried to make peace with him).
"Oh come on! She's a big girl, aren't you Sak? One outing isn't going to hurt." Ino rolled her eyes. At these points even Sasuke's hotness couldn't cover up how overbearing he is.
"No." Sasuke shot her a glare and then shifted a much softer gaze towards Sakura. "Sakura?" he looked at her expectantly.
"Yeah, I don't wanna go anywhere without Sasuke-kun." Sakura agreed instantly. 'I mean imagine what could happen if Sasuke-kun wasn't there! So many things could go wrong!' Sakura smiled apolitically, knowing she had pissed off the blond. "Besides, I have no money."
"...hmm... I've got it! Let's ALL go shopping after this!" Ino hit her palm with her fist.
"NO." Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru and Neji yelled out as Sasuke just glared at her.
"alright, fine then, the girls and I were going to ask your opinion on our new bikinis but if you don't want to that's-" Ino was interrupted. Hinata blushed, eyes wide like a deer in headlights. She most certainly did not agree to that. Temari and Tenten snickered, amused at being roped into it. Sakura just blinked, not understanding her voice's intone.
"WE'RE GOING." Naruto and Kiba screamed at the same time.
Temari and Tenten looked at their two guys expectantly. "...dammit..." Shikamaru looked warily at Temari. 'Temari...bikini...colour...black and red...' "I'm going." Shikamaru's agreed, slight blush staining his cheeks as she herself flushed, caught off guard.
"..." Neji stayed silent. But then he quickly looked away with a blush on his face.
"It's a yes from him." Ino chuckled. "Well Sasuke-kun?" she batted her eyelashes.
"Don't call me that" Sasuke snapped.
Fucking slut has some nerve.
"Sakura? What do you want?" he looked at her, his eyes asking her for her honesty.
"...to go..." Sakura looked at him hopefully.
"...we're going." Sasuke stated.
"YAY!" everyone cheered happily. Then Ino happily went off on a shopping tangent.
"...Sasuke-kun, can I get anything?" Sakura asked after listening to the long list of awesome things Ino was going to buy.
"Anything you want." Sasuke answered.
"Woah, woah dude. Bad idea. Are you planning on paying for it all?" Kiba gawked.
"Clearly." Sasuke raised a brow at them all.
"Do you know how much that costs? Have you ever shopped with women?" Shikamaru asked with a horrified look on his face.
"...I'm an Uchiha... at the age of 13 I started running a company." Sasuke dead-panned.
"Uhh... that's illegal." Kiba scratched the back of his head.
"No. I don't earn the money; I just call the shots. But from that my father pays me... rather gives me money as an 'allowance', that I earned."
"Why would you want to start such serious shit now? You're in high school!" Naruto exclaimed.
"...it's interesting." Sasuke shrugged. 'And let's me support Sakura with my own money... of course she doesn't know this...Besides, this way Sakura is wholly mine.'
Flashback start.
"You want to start running the company?" Fugaku asked, bemused.
"Yes." Sasuke answered curtly.
"Why? It's unnecessary." Fugaku laced his fingers and raised a brow at Sasuke.
"Otou-sama... you aren't an idiot... or ignorant. You know don't you. You've known for a long time." Sasuke looked expectantly up at his father.
"...I don't know what you're talking about." Fugaku replied, entire body tensing.
Sasuke didn't waver. "Drop it. You know exactly, don't hide it."
"..." The Uchiha patriarch let out a heavy sigh. "I was hoping I was simply mistaken... but what does that have to do with anything?" Fugaku looked warily at his son.
"I want full rights to Sakura." Fugaku's eyes widened dramatically. Mikoto walked in at that point, standing beside her husband and laying a comforting palm on his shoulder.
"What?" He did a double-take.
"I want to support her. I want Sakura as my own and take care of her as such." 'I want to own her.' "You remember the old traditions, don't you? Wasn't aunty married to her third cousin? And didn't my great-uncle adopt mom?" Sasuke remained nonplussed. Mikoto frowned slightly.
"How did you... never mind that... you're telling me you want to marry Sakura? You and I both know that's illegal, tradition or not." Fugaku growled.
"Then don't marry us... simply allow me to pay for everything regarding her." Sasuke said unfazed.
"Sasu-chan, she's our daughter." Mikoto said softly, entering the room. "Your flesh and blood."
"..." Sasuke regarded his mother's rebuttal. "Then allow me to pay for anything she wants... and when she turns eighteen, her hand in marriage will be mine, even if it's just known by those necessary." Sasuke said. He used an 'end of conversation' tone.
Both parents shared troubled looks. "...fine... but what if Sakura is not alright with this?" Fugaku asked uneasily.
"She will be. Just let me take care of it...and don't interfere." Sasuke replied with bite.
"..." The parents looked at each other again, not knowing what to answer.
"Let ototou have this. I assure you it is the best decision." Itachi entered the room as well.
"Why do you think this Itachi?" Fugaku questioned.
"...because if you don't, I sincerely worry for our family. Have you ever seen Sasuke ask for anything? I think he simply is doing so out of politeness. In actual fact, you've already begun haven't you ototou?" Itachi asked amusedly.
"...hn." Sasuke glared at his brother.
"I see... well, if this is how it is, fine. Do as you wish." Fugaku said tersely, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"...Please don't be rash Sasu-chan... and take care of Saku-chan... Ita-kun?" Mikoto looked at Itachi.
"Don't hurt imotou." was all Itachi had to say.
"Understood."
End Flashback.
Sasuke shook the memory from his mind and looked down at Sakura's grinning face. 'Don't worry onii-san, I will.'
Half way there! Give or take.
