Chapter 21

Sakura spent her first day in the Uchiha Manor in her art studio.

She didn't exactly paint anything. Instead she sat in a corner and hugged herself in a comforter until Sasuke comes and asks her to dinner.

It is a big, big mansion that they live in. Over half of the rooms aren't even used, they are just guest rooms, yet there are maids that clean every single one of them.

There is a lovely golf course in the back yard. A small pond and a statue of Apollo that sprouts water from his hands. The trees mostly consist of maple and almond, many of them so big that it acts as a giant umbrella over the gardens. At the west side is a green house that has the loveliest roses and lilies. Sakura has been on a tour of the mansion already. There are more houses she could count, and she got lost and didn't know where to go almost immediately. Rest assured, she remembered the most important rooms. Such as her studio, the kitchen, and the exit doors.

Sasuke went to work with Itachi the next day. Sakura stumbled out of the bed and ran downstairs looking for Sasuke while he was just leaving.

"Where are you going? Where are you going?" Sakura asked, rubbing her eyes.

Itachi looked at the girl in bunny PJs and whispers to Sasuke, "I'll wait for you in the car."

Sasuke turned to his bride and sighed, "I need to go to work, go upstairs and go back to sleep. I'll be back by 5."

"What? You're working on Sundays now?"

He explained to Sakura patiently, "It's Wednesday, love."

Sakura stood in the living room, feeling quite dazed. After a while, a blush crept onto her cheeks and she resists the urge to squeal like a little girl.

After breakfast, Mikoto-San had a long talk with Sakura. She said they need to throw a wedding, thus there must be a rehearsal dinner. She also stressed Sakura not to get pregnant before the wedding.

Sakura watched as her mother in law opens and closes her mouth, flapping back and forth while she barely understand what she was trying to say. Does she want centerpieces or no? Does she want a pink dress or a white one?

Finally, when it's almost lunch time, Mikoto suggested for Sakura to go to Sasuke's office to send him a lunch box.

And that's how Sakura showed up in Sasuke's office, holding a lunch basket and a wonderful idea in her head.

"Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun!" She yelled quite excitedly, "I have an idea that will make me rich!"

"We're already rich." Sasuke sighed tiredly.

"No, I meant for me!" She emphasize, "As I was on my way over I saw that the Uchihas own a lot of restaurants, right? So if I open up a restaurant, I'll start making my own money!"

"How much do you want?" Sasuke pulled out his check book wearily.

"Uh... Eighty thousand dollars?" Sakura pulled a sum out of her mind.

Sasuke snorted.

She immediately frowned and said, "What's wrong with that? Is it too little?"

"You can probably buy a fast food restaurant with this." Sasuke said, handing her the check.

"What do you mean?" She refused to take it, "I think it's enough. With all the redecorations, chefs, menus, tables etc..."

"You need to actually buy a piece of land first. Or an actual restaurant..." he said.

"Then I'll just use one of your restaurants!" Sakura yelled.

Sasuke stared at her, "So let me get this straight. You want to use one of my restaurants, which is ours by the way, that was originally very popular and has many loyal customers, and turn it into a restaurant that serves... What do you want to serve?"

"Hotpots."

Sasuke blinked his eyes, "Hotpots? You want to serve Hotpot to people... In the middle of July?"

"By the time I finish with it, it will be August, and tons of people want Hotpots in the winter!" She said excitedly.

Sasuke wanted to faint.

"Ok, I'll just lease out a store." Sakura bounced out of his office.

Sasuke quickly followed, "Sakura-no!"

(^_^)

Ino drank her soup in one go. She set her bowl down and said to Sakura, "you're crazy."

Sasuke finally agrees with the blond girl, "She is!"

They are currently sitting in "Perfect Memory", a restaurant that the Uchihas holds the shares of.

"Look at this soup. This is amazing. I already finished it and I didn't know what was in it. Was it potato? Cream? Who cares! More please!" Ino snapped her fingers at a nearby waitress.

"That's not the point, Ino." Sakura said solemnly, "The point is that I cannot, and will not be a burden to my family. I want to start a bank account of my own, and fill it with so much money that I grow old with."

"Aren't we all." Ino mumbled.

Sasuke rubbed his forehead and sighed in exasperation, "Sakura, you do realize that this restaurant cannot be renovated with just a snap of your fingers, there are chefs and waitresses, and their livelihood depended on this-"

"Oh boohoo. When did Uchihas ever care about these things?" Sakura rolled her eyes sarcastically.

Ino snickered, "she got you there."

His face turned green, "Uchiha is your name too."

Sakura ignored him, and said to the waitress, "May I see your manager?"

The girl was terrified, "was there something wrong with the food Uchiha-sama? I-"

"No, no, just go and get your boss." Sakura waved her off.

Ino continued to gobble down the soup, "Sakura baby, you know whenever you call me out to lunch; I save myself having to eat for the rest of the day."

Sakura pushed her plate towards Ino, and Ino took the rest of Sakura's lasagna willingly. Sasuke stared at them, and Sakura explained, "It's true. Whenever we were young, Ino always ate more. I always share my food with her."

"How many stomachs does she have?"

"I like to think she has a cow's stomach. She told me she just eats it now and digests it later. It's all on the discovery channel, Sasuke. You should watch it sometimes."

Sasuke doesn't know what to say.

The manager came running. He was a chubby little man that is almost bald. He bowed to the newlywed couple, and asked if there is a problem.

"Yes, how much would you say if I leased your store?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke want to pound his head against the table.

The manager was immediately mad, "Uchiha-sama, I have slaved and slaved for your family all my life. My father has also worked with your family, and I am absolutely loyal to-"

"Alright, alright." Sasuke interrupted. "We are not here to fire you or to lease this store. We are just-"

"What are you talking about! We are leasing this store!" Sakura yelled.

"No we are not!" Sasuke raised his voice, "I have put up with your childish fun and games, but I am drawing the line right here!"

Ino continued to eat her soup and lasagna.

Sakura blinked and stared at Sasuke, who felt bad immediately after he said it. This is his wife. If she wants a restaurant, he should let her have a restaurant. Sasuke was about to speak up when Sakura slammed her first onto the table and yelled, "Well fine then! I shall lease the Lauren Vidal store next to "Perfect Memory" and turn it to a restaurant. You know what I'm going to call it?"

Sasuke doesn't want to find out.

"'Perfect Memory Sucks!'!" Sakura screamed the last sentence, and stormed out of "Perfect Memory".

By then Ino was already laughing her ass off while holding on to the seat for support.
