Author's Note: Hey guys, how long has it been since I've updated? Idk, anyways I'm back. I need to get my laptop fixed the stupid fan things don't work anymore, so when it gets over heated it shuts off. Anyways here's chapter 14.

Chapter 14: The Decision

Sasuke's POV:

"Are you sure about this?" Itachi asked as we were heading towards the meeting room, where our father and other relatives are awaiting the decision.

"Positive," I respond.

"Ok, let's just hope father will support this," and with that we made our way inside the room and all eyes immediately fell on us.

"Sasuke," my father says. "Have you made your decision yet?"

"Yes, I have and I've talked to Itachi about it. And both of us agreed that this will be best for the business."

"Well go on then."

Sakura's POV:

They've been in that meeting for an hour now and Sasuke didn't tell me what he was going to do. I have no idea if he's going to take it or not. If he takes it then he will live out his dream and make his father proud, but I won't be able to Sasuke as frequently. If he doesn't take it then I will be able to see him every day, but then he will still have to share the business with his brother.

I am a horrible person. I just want him to stay for my own selfish reasons. I should want him to be happy even if he's somewhere else. It's not I won't be able to see him at all. But, I still can't help the pain I feel in my chest at the thought of him leaving.

I guess that's what happens when you fall in love with your friend who also happens to be your boss.

I was brought of my thoughts when I heard the door open and Sasuke's father came out with another man.

"I guess we are going to have to move Sasuke's things out of his office and put it into his new one," the man said.

"I suppose. Sasuke and Itachi should be able to do it just fine," said Fugaku. And they walked away, after them a few other people left the room and I went upstairs to the roof.

I remember the first time I had been up here. It was with Sasuke and we were all done with our work and he decided to show me the roof.

'The roof' I asked Sasuke as we stood by the door that led to the roof. 'That's you wanted to show me?' he nodded.

'Yes, the roof,' he opened the door and held it open for me. I walked outside and my breath got caught in my breath.

'Wow,' I gaped.

'Beautiful isn't it?' I nodded. 'I come here sometimes when I need to clear my head.'

'You can the whole city from here,' he chuckled at my comment.

'Not all of it, but for the most part yes,' I could sense his eyes on me, so turned and sure enough he was looking right at me with a slight smile on his face, and I couldn't help but smile back.

The memory played in the back of my mind and a stray tear fell onto my cheek. I guess it really happening now. Sasuke chose to follow his dream and is moving to Sunagakure.

"Sasuke's leaving," I whispered to myself, and after I had said that I could no longer stop the tears that threatened to escape earlier. I was sobbing to myself as I realized that I could no longer be with Sasuke all the time. I didn't think it would affect me as much as it is.

After trying and trying and trying, I still fell in love with Sasuke and that's why it hurt so much.

After I had stopped crying I left to go back to Sasuke's office. When I arrived I noticed that hardly any of Sasuke's things were in here. I wonder how long I had been crying.

"Sakura?" an achingly familiar voice said from behind me. I turned around and was met with Sasuke's wonderful eyes.

"Sasuke," I said back. His eyes were full of concern and worry.

"Are you okay?" he asked going closer to me.

"Yea, why?"

"You've been crying haven't you? Why?"

"Oh that, I just…. Um poked myself in the eye on accident," I lied.

"Okay, so why are both of your eyes red and puffy?" he said not believing me.

"Because… I had poked my left eye and it started to water… and my right eye is very empathetic so it started to water as well," I lied again.

"Oh really?" he said still not believing me.

"So, how was the meeting?" I said changing the subject. Knowing what I was doing, Sasuke answered it anyways.

"It was alright," he answered vaguely.

"So, you're taking the offer in Sunagakure?"

"Why? You're not going to miss me are you?" he teased.

"Yea, actually I will," his smirk was replaced by a genuine smile.

"Well, then it's a good thing I'm not going," It took me a little while for those words to process in my head. And when they did, my face instantly brightened up and practically threw myself at him and hugged him tightly. He hugged back and I melted in the warmth of his embrace.

"You're not moving!" I said after I let him go, his hands still on my hips and mine on his shoulders. "What happened then?"

"Well, let's see."

Sasuke's POV:

'Well, go on then.'

'I want to stay here in Konoha, and Itachi has agreed that he will take the one in Sunagakure,' my father's face was scrunched up as he thought about this arrangement.

'I love it!' one of my uncles said and everyone else agreed except for my dad, who kept a hard face on. He took a deep breath.

'Is that really what you want Sasuke?'

'Yes, more than anything,' I said honestly.

'And you, Itachi, are okay with this?'

'Of course,' he chirped back happily.

'Well then I guess it is official. Sasuke will take over the cooperation here in Konoha, and Itachi will have the one in Sunagakure.'

"Oh, Sasuke I'm so happy," Sakura said hugging me again.

"That's not all," I said once we separated again.

"Oh, go on."

"Well, I realized that the reason that I was doing so much better than before, was because I had you by my side to help me with everything. So I talked to my father about it, and he agreed that I should make you my partner," her smile grew wider. "So, what do you say? Do you want to become my partner?"

"Yes, of course I will," and this time I hugged her. "So, does this mean I get a raise?" she said while her head was still in the crook of my neck and chuckled.

"Yes, consider it as a promotion."

"I'm glad that you're not moving."

"Me too," and we stayed like that just hugging each other until we both decided that we were hungry and had to eat in order to live.

Author's Note: So, I think that there will be one more chapter after this and then an epilogue, but I might end up extending it a little if the next chapter doesn't go the way I plan. Anyways please review, and feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
