Chapter 2
Recap:
" And my name is Haruno Sakura!"
"I don't believe you, a rich heiress dresses in rags? What, you think I'm stupid?" Tsunade retorted.
"Bu-but I am!" Sakura was desperate.
"Che, yeah right," Tsunade said.
"Wait a minute," a young man spoke from the back of the crowd.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Everyone turned to look at the guy. He was about 18 years old and had spiky navy hair that swayed when he moved. "Are you really Sakura Haruno?" He peered at her suspiciously.
"Of course! And if you'll excuse me, I'm going to buy the ginseng." Sakura replied and shoved her way to the front. "Old hag. I'll take it."
Tsunade was about to snap back when the young man said "And how exactly are you going to pay for it? It doesn't look like you have much on you. And hurry up, I'd like to buy it if you aren't. " Sakura glanced towards the guy. She turned to get a better look at him. He had smooth slightly tanned skin and dark eyes that seemed to swallow her up. She felt herself getting lost within those gorgeous eyes, but snapped back to reality when Tsunade tapped her fingers impatiently on a table and asked "Well? Do you have the money?"
"Er just ask my father to pay because I-I don't carry money around. Ha ha…Ya know, might get mugged or something." Sakura lied.
"Hmmp, alright then…" at that moment a plump middle-aged man entered the restaurant with two of his servants, making quite a commotion.
"Oh! Welcome, Haruno-san! Sakura here was about to buy this ginseng, would you like to pay for her?" Tsunade inquired.
Oh shit I'm doomed! Sakura thought. What am I going to do? They are going to find out I'm was bluffing the whole time and I won't get the ginseng and…the fat rich-looking man interrupted her thoughts of despair with a loud chuckle, "Oh has she? Well then we'll take it now please." He looked over at the guy with navy hair, "And I see you've been getting acquainted with Uchiha-san here, good for you."
A look of total confusion flickered across Sakura's face. But she decided to play along. After all, she has a better chance of getting the ginseng this way, right? So after the man paid and took it, they all (her, Haruno-san and his servants) stepped outside.
Sakura cleared her throat. "Um why did you do that back there?"
"Come, let's walk this way and we'll talk." Haruno-san started down the bust road. (AN: no cars are invented yet) "So you want to know why I covered up for you. Well let's just say I need a girl to replace my daughter who died a week ago, and you happened to fit the shoe."
"Why would I replace her? And what kind of a father are you, not even grieving over your child's death?" Greedy bastard, she thought.
"You see, Sakura was arranged to be married to Prince Uchiha. This marriage is mainly for business purposes. The royal family pocesses a lot of power, which means I would gain power and authority when Sakura is married into their family. And they would gain wealth from us. So this marriage is very important to me, and I can't risk losing this chance since she is my only child." Haruno-san explained.
"But they would be able to tell the difference between me and the real Sakura."
"Nah, they've never seen her. So, do you agree or not?"
"What makes you think I will pretend to be your daughter? I have better things to do with my life."
"Alright…how about we make a deal?"
"Oh?"
"If, you agree to pretend to be her, I will give you the ginseng."
"Hmm ok, but I can leave divorce later right?"
"Half a year after the marriage."
"3 months after."
"Deal, " Haruno said with a large grin plastered on his face. "I want you to move in right now. My servants will take you to the estate and a maid will prepare your suite and clothes."
