A/N: So most of you want it lemon, if not, lime. Okay, I'll see what I can do. As for those who guessed that it's another gang, sorry, better luck next time. Now, is it another member of Sharingan or the trio? Read to find out! BTW, this is one long chapter…
Yakuza
"Wow! This place is huge!" Sakura exclaimed, seeing an estate right in front of her with tall silver gates that was designed as bars so you can view the mansion behind it. Most of the manor's color was white with French windows on every balcony you could see. "You didn't tell me you have a friend in the Hyuuga family!"
Sasuke shrugged and rang the doorbell. A voice spoke, asking for the visitor's name and who he or she would like to see. Sasuke held onto the button and spoke, "Uchiha Sasuke with Haruno Sakura, we wish to speak with Hyuuga Neji and/or Hyuuga Hinata." He said. There was a long pause before the gates automatically opened. When they entered, guards dressed in black suits were around the area, some holding onto German shepherd dogs and some speaking through a walkie talkie. Sasuke adjusted his dark tinted shades and pocketed his hands. He had to act as bodyguard for the whole day this time so he had to wear a black suit but was still too stubborn to not button the black overcoat.
"Come on Sasuke, button it up, that's the proper attire."
"It's too hot." He muttered, tugging on his white collar. Who would argue with that? He had to wear a white long-sleeve polo inside and then had to wear another black long-sleeve coat plus there's a black tie. He didn't mind Konoha High's uniform even if it were the same; at least it was short sleeved inside compared to this. He grunted and removed his shades when they met up with a Hyuuga.
"Uchiha, long time no see."
Chapter 4: Exposed Truth I
Sasuke smirked and shook his head, closing his eyes at the same time. "Don't lie to me Hyuuga, you along with the dead last and lazy bum were spying on us yesterday." He opened his eyes once again to see the Hyuuga avoid his look. "I take it as Naruto's idea."
"Yeah," he answered. "Hinata-sama is in the other room."
"Before I forget, Sakura-sama, this is Hyuuga Neji, a close friend of mine." He introduced as Sakura gave a smile and extended out her hand which Neji took and shook. "Neji, this is Haruno Sakura, Prime Minister Haruno Ikichi's daughter."
"Nice to meet you," Sakura grinned as they let go. "Same." Neji answered and gestured the two to follow him. They reached a large room where a few chairs and a small stool was; mirrors surrounded almost every area and in the right corner was a small table with a tray full of tea and/or coffee and some mugs and cups. Seated on one of the four chairs was Hinata with a tape measure around her neck.
Neji bowed down. "Hinata-sama, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura are here."
Hinata, a girl with short hair gave a nod and a smile to her cousin before thanking the boy as he left. "It is an honor to meet the Prime Minister's daughter, Haruno-san." Hinata said, standing up and approaching them. "Nice to see you again Sasuke-san, um… is Naruto-kun… doing well..?" she asked, turning red.
Sasuke smiled and gave a nod. "He misses you big time."
"I see, can you tell him I miss him too?"
"Sure." He turned to Sakura. "Sakura-sama, this is Hyuuga Hinata, her hobby is designing formal gowns and word is she's really talented." Hinata blushed and smiled shyly. Sakura nodded and smiled back at Hinata. "Sasuke told me you could help me with my dilemma, I really need a gown for our prom night this Friday; oh, and call me Sakura."
"In that case, call me Hinata." The Hyuuga heiress said and led them to the table she was currently seated on earlier. "Coffee or tea?"
"Coffee sounds great, I really need it." Sasuke muttered, yawning and earned a giggle from the two girls. "Hey, it's tough to be a bodyguard at the same time play as your boyfriend when outside." He whispered.
"Sasuke-san, Neji-niisan always told me you push yourself too hard," she said, offering him a cup of coffee. "Perhaps you haven't eaten tomatoes in a while." Sasuke nodded his thanks and took the coffee, drinking a bit of it. "Yeah, hadn't had the time."
"What about you Sakura?" she asked. "Would you like tea or would you need coffee as well?"
"Neither, I'm not really thirsty." She said as Hinata gave a nod and offered her a few papers where her sketches of gowns were printed. Sakura flipped a few, amazed at how simple yet elegant the designs were. "Wow, you should take up being a Designer in college!" she grinned at the blushing Hyuuga. "I can't decide, they're all good, ne, Sasuke-kun,"
"No…" he muttered and took another sip from his coffee with his eyes closed. "I told you, I will not help pick out girl's clothes for you…"
"Aw, come on..!"
"No."
"Sasuke…"
"No."
"Please..?"
"No."
"…I'll call Lee and accept his offer of being my date for the prom then."
"…" he stared at her with wide eyes while she took her cell phone out which was the same as his and browsed for Lee's number. Sasuke, with quick reflexes, took the phone and found Lee's number then deleted it. He smirked triumphantly when Sakura clenched her fists.
"Fine, I'll tell my dad what you did when we were cleaning the classroom!" this time, it was her turn to smirk and Sasuke blushing and clenching his fists. "Help me pick a dress and my lips are sealed."
Hinata stared at the scene before her, obviously amused. It wasn't everyday you see Sasuke losing to a girl and a bodyguard having enough guts to actually glare at his boss. The Uchiha stopped and then returned the smirk. "I'd like to see you tell your dad that as I explain how you didn't stop me and only encouraged me to do so."
"…I hate you." Sakura muttered.
"Back at 'ya." Sasuke's smirk grew wider when she huffed and browsed through the designs. He had won, again. Still, he felt a bit bad for not helping out, so, when he saw a design and pictured Sakura in it, he stopped her hands from flipping through the next page. "That looks good on you."
Sakura stared at him then at the design and smiled. "Alright, Hinata, I think this will do." Hinata took it and asked what color she wanted. "I'm not sure…" she said.
"Can I take a look?" Sasuke asked as Sakura handed him the design. He eyed it a bit then at Sakura, then back at the dress. "I think…" he looked at the drawing and tried to picture Sakura wearing it. "Hmm..." He looked at the spaghetti strapped dress with a scarf that could be placed over the bare shoulders. "Red has been really a typical color for you, according to your dad. Green was your dress last year, as what you said last night and pink will sort of clash with your hair color…" he pointed out and thought for a while, glancing at Sakura. "If it's white, you'll look like a bride in a wedding ceremony, so…" his eyes stared at her long and hard. "Bright colors don't suit you that much, I guess baby blue will do for now, the sash may as well be a transparent white…" He suggested. "And I think it'll be better if you just let your hair down." He added.
Sakura nodded and Hinata led her to the small stool where the pink haired lass stood up. The Hyuuga heiress asked her to remove her white jacket and she did so, handing it over to a staring Sasuke who took it. He admired how her baby blue dress hugged her body, recalling the day he had seen her only wrapped in a towel where all the curves fit. He blushed and looked away then walked back to a chair to down the remaining contents of his coffee. He needed to stay awake today.
"There, I'll be done with your clothes by Wednesday or earlier perhaps, please give me your contact number and I'll give you a call or a message." Hinata said.
"Just inform me Hinata, I don't think Sakura-sama's dad will allow her giving her number to anybody he's not familiar with." Sasuke said and got a nod from Hinata. Sakura then jumped down from the stool, nearly tripping but managed to keep her balance. She bowed down to Hinata slightly after thanking her and walked over to Sasuke to get her jacket.
"Well then, we're off. I still have to go somewhere else." Sakura said, smiling at Hinata. "How much is the dress?" Hinata was about to open her mouth when Sasuke shook his head and gave a knowing look. The female Hyuuga smiled and gave a nod. "No need to Sakura, it's been taken care of."
"Huh?" Hinata's pupil-less eyes turned to Sasuke to answer Sakura's confused look and Sakura did the same. "You didn't…"
"Yes I did." Sasuke smirked and grabbed her wrist. "Come on, you're going to be late with your appointments, and thanks Hinata." She shook her head, indicating it was no trouble at all and bid the two goodbye.
Sasuke and Sakura got on his bike as they went to the park and stayed there for a while. They both sat on a bench and watched a few kids playing. "So, what do you want to do?" he asked, still looking at the kids before them. He missed the days he was so problem free and would just do nothing but play all day, not worrying too much about missions or about his father.
"I don't know, what do you think?"
He was about to answer when his phone rang. Checking the caller, he sighed and clenched the mobile in his hands, mumbling a "wait here" to Sakura before going elsewhere to talk to the caller. She only nodded her head and watched the children play some more. It is a bit interesting seeing little kids running around.
"What do you want?" Sasuke asked, annoyed. "If this is about the mission again, don't worry, I'll take care of it. I just need more time."
"More time to what Sasuke? Think of a way to protect her from this Yakuza?" His father's voice boomed from the other line. "How many times do have to tell you I do not accept failure! You've spent more than a month with her, as my son, I should know that you've gathered enough information about her. What's taking you so long?"
"Dad, the Prime Minister is not yet here, even if we do get this mission started it will still not go the way you planned, especially since the real target is in another country and won't be back for two more months."
"You're holding back Sasuke," he replied. "You're not telling me everything, and Shikamaru, Neji and Naruto keep telling me your plan about making her fall for you to gain her trust, your usual way of luring victims, however, I find it hard to believe that you are really doing what you're planning." There was a long pause before Fugaku spoke once again. "Are you falling for her?"
Sasuke closed his eyes and reflected on the question. He thought about the past events that happened between them. From the shower incident to the classroom make-out, then the lunch break moments they had to the basketball practice game where he had kissed her in public and confessed his feelings to her without thinking. He also remembered their little date yesterday when they ate spaghetti, and how he held her close to him last night, swearing to protect her, and lastly, when he felt jealousy engulf him when she said she'll accept Lee's invitation to be her partner for the prom, plus the fact he paid for her dress beforehand.
"Sasuke,"
"No." he answered. "No I'm not." he repeated, opening his eyes that were narrowed, glaring at nothing in particular. A sigh of relief escaped his father's lips as the older man replied with a "Good." Before pausing "I'm giving you up until Ikichi's return, that's when we shall start the mission, understood?"
"Aa." He answered and closed the flap of his phone then stared at the screensaver of its LCD. It was Sakura hugging her stuffed dog, Yuki, and giving a peace sign and a grin. He smirked and pocketed the phone then headed back to where he left Sakura. "I'm not falling for her dad, I already have."
Sakura yawned as she waited for Sasuke to return on the park's bench. She gave a sigh and folded her hands on top of her lap, straightening herself. It wasn't much of a sunny day but she had a white jacket on since her over-protective "boyfriend" told her to wear something over her light blue spaghetti strapped dress that reached just below her knees and wore a pair of white ladies' sandals with only half an inch heels, so now, if she stands up, her forehead would be in Sasuke's eye-level. Her mind raced through what happened last night.
"No matter what happens, I'll protect you, don't worry and don't think that I don't care about you, remember that Sakura, I'll… I'll find a way…"
She sighed and took out her phone. On the LCD screen was displayed a picture of Sasuke asleep. She giggled seeing him like that and because of him, she wakes up earlier than before, wanting to see his cute sleeping face first thing in the morning. She opened the flap of her phone where the wallpaper was both of them. A smile tugged on her lips when she saw how surprised Sasuke was when she glomped him from behind; she owed Haku for getting their picture and taking it at the right time.
"I can't believe you kept that…"
Sakura nearly jumped at the voice behind her; she whipped around to see a smirking Sasuke, hands resting on the back rest of the bench. "Don't scare me like that!" she scolded and closed the flap of her phone, keeping it inside her black shoulder bag. "I nearly had a heart attack."
"Sorry hime-san…" he muttered. "So, where do you want to go?"
"I still haven't thought of it," she answered and tapped her chin with her index finger before smiling and snapping her fingers. "Let's go to the new café a few blocks from here! I heard they serve great eats and drinks!" she grinned and Sasuke nodded, offering her his right arm and she hugged it, resting her cheek on his shoulder. "Let's go!" she beamed.
They both entered the café and chose to sit down in front of the counter to see how their drinks are being made. The place had a dimly lit atmosphere yet relaxing at the same time. R n B music played continuously as a few people chatted for business, projects or just to simply chill and hang out. Others were on a date, pretty much like they are.
Sasuke placed down his shades on the counter top and clasped his hands together in front of him as he waited for Sakura to decide what she would order. He thought about the mission and if he could tackle it without any hesitant decisions. But then, just remembering Sakura cry made it hard for him to fulfill his job. On the other hand, if he were to choose Sakura, then it would mean betraying Sharingan, betraying his family and friends.
"I think I'll have a strawberry milk shake and a strawberry cheesecake!" she said, grinning then turned to Sasuke. "What about you?" he remained silent for a while before muttering "black coffee" and then continued with his thinking, not noticing how the waiter blinked and stared at him then went to get their orders. Sakura gave a worried look at him then placed a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, you okay?"
"Aa." He said; staring ahead at a few glasses displayed before him where a few of the bar tenders passed by to get one or fix a few orders. He squinted a bit when he noticed a group of men wearing black trench coats and dark tinted shades looking at their direction. "Ha ha… very funny guys…" he thought, keeping an eye on them from the glasses that shimmered against the dim lights.
"So, you're going to be my partner for the dance right..?" she asked, blushing slightly and playing with her fingers.
"Yeah, why?" he asked, glancing at her.
"Well, I know that you have to do your job but… it's just that… I recalled dad saying how much you hate public displays of affection and being too close to somebody so, I'm thinking how are we going to-"
She stopped when his hand reached to grab hers and he leaned closer to her ear, breathing on it, making the girl turn red. "That was until I met you." He said, smirking at her reaction and waited a few moments before speaking again. "And if you're still wondering about the things I've said and did back in the gym yesterday, that was all true." His smirk grew wider when her eyes widened in shock. "Here's proof if you want." He whispered and used his right hand to reach up to her chin and tilted it a bit so she was facing him and without warning, started to kiss her in public, yet again. "Alright guys, you want some action, here it is."
He parted slightly away from her lips and smirked seeing her stare at him in shock, lips a bit apart. "You did say you like me better with a bad attitude." He reminded and licked her bottom lip as she gasped and he plunged his tongue into hers, not minding a few stares from the customers, including the Yakuza that was watching them. The waiter that took their orders approached them and was about to announce that their orders were here yet stopped when he saw the two making out. "Uh…" he said and sweat dropped when both still went on. He sighed and walked off, not wanting to disturb the two even though he knew it was rude to do that in public but hey, he was a part of the youth generation and most of the people inside were teens anyway.
"Mmph… Sa…su…ke…" she managed to say in between kisses and licks. "Not here…" she whispered when he broke away after hearing her say his name. "Alright but you owe me." He said, grinning and turning to his hot drink as she tried to push down the blush and began to eat her cake. Sasuke's eyes turned to the glasses to see the men's shades removed and eyes wide in disbelief. He smirked when he saw how they shook their heads and stood up, getting ready to leave. "Heh, and I thought you could handle it, nii-san." He thought, eyeing one of them who gave a last look to him then left with the other four, one nearly as tall as him, "Especially you Kakashi." Then he looked at the remaining three who were a bit shorter. "I wish I could thank you three for covering me, dobe, lazy-ass and Hyuuga."
As soon as they left, his keen eyesight caught three men getting out of a car that just arrived and into the café, seeing how they hid the shiny metal guns in their coats and his right hand slowly made its way to his own gun that was secured in a black holster around his waist.
Sasuke felt their presence behind them, and tried to form a plan to make things easier. "Haruno Sakura..?" one said. Sakura was about to turn around when Sasuke got up and faced them. Her green eyes gazed onto the men who mentioned her name and noted how they were all dressed in the same clothing. "A gang..?" she asked herself and concluded that she was correct seeing as how Sasuke reacted. "Is there anything you want sir?" her supposed boyfriend asked.
"Oh, just your girlfriend over there," he said, motioning his head to Sakura. "We need to ask her a few things."
"Then start asking." The Uchiha dared, refusing to let his smirk appear on his face. "Unless you just made that up so you could take her to your precious little gang?"
The men were taken aback by this. "How did this brat know?"
The man in the middle, who was probably the leader, smirked. "I guess we're going to have to kill you for finding out our secret." He was about to take his gun and as he held onto the handle, one was already pointing at his chest as the owner of it stepped closer to keep other people from seeing it. "Too slow, now, I suggest you get out of here and take your dogs with you, otherwise," Sasuke glanced at a police car that stopped in front of the café, two cops stepping out of it. "You're going to jail."
"So will you if we tell them you planned on killing us." One of them retorted.
Sasuke couldn't hold in the smirk tugging at his lips. "I have license to kill." He whispered and kneed the leader on the gut. The man doubled over and groaned, catching the two cops' attention. "What's going on here?"
"Officer, these guys planned on kidnapping the Prime Minister's daughter." Sasuke explained and took his shades, putting them back on and motioned Sakura to get up as he left a wad of cash on the counter. "We'll be leaving now; I have to see to it that my girl here gets home safe."
"Wait, identify yourself!" the other cop demanded.
"I'm her boyfriend." He muttered and grabbed Sakura's hand. "And also, her father appointed me as her personal bodyguard because he trusts me." He added and Sakura gave a nod to support his answer as the two teens left and got on Sasuke's bike.
"It's a good thing the two cops decided to take a break here." Sakura said through her helmet when they reached a stop light. "Otherwise you could've made a scene."
"Like I haven't done that already." He snorted "Besides, I think I have the right to do so anyway, I have permission from your dad and you're my witness."
"Yeah, I know." She said and giggled. "So, our date is ruined, what other plans do you have?"
"I don't know, you up for taking a walk in the park and just… talk?"
"Sure." And she tightened her hold on him when he made a sharp U-turn and headed to the park. "Maybe you'll start talking more about yourself." He smirked "You wish."
"I can't believe he did that!" Naruto yelled, pulling onto his spiky blonde hair. "I'm pretty sure he knew it was us all along!" Neji sighed and Shikamaru shook his head. They heard Kakashi chuckling in the driver's seat and saw Itachi smirking on the passenger seat. "What's so funny?"
"Simple, my brother doesn't seem to care whether a spy from Sharingan was sent."
Kakashi gave a nod. "Plus the fact that I locked him up with Haruno once in the classroom and they did more than what we saw today." He told them, grinning at the three teens' reactions.
"Are we going to tell this to the boss?" The lazy-bum asked, looking outside the window and gazing at the white fluffy clouds. "It could be really troublesome to explain all of it…"
"That's why we will keep it a secret." Itachi said, glancing at them. "Besides, I think my brother wouldn't want any of us interfering with his new plans."
"What plans?" Neji asked, raising a brow.
Itachi smirked and closed his eyes. "You'll know, someday."
"This is really hard…" Sakura huffed, sitting down on a bench and watched as Sasuke picked up an orange basketball. They were currently in an outdoor court in the park and some kids who were playing went elsewhere to get some snacks, lending them the ball.
"Only because you're wearing a dress and heels." He said, looking at the ball then at the ring. He removed his shades along with his black overcoat then rolled up his sleeves up to his elbows then removed his tie, placing all on the bench where Sakura sat. "If you were in proper sports attire, you'll get the knack of it." He said, delivering a perfect three-point shot.
She continued to eye him as he kept dribbling, shooting and pretending to evade an enemy. A smile graced her lips as she started recalling more of their moments together. Though some were accidental or funny, she will never forget any of those.
"Are you even listening..?" His voice interrupted her reminiscing and she blinked then looked up at him, blushing at the process after noting how close he was leaning over her. "Huh..?" she responded. A smirk answered her and she gulped, knowing he was planning something. "You weren't listening, weren't you?" he asked in a low voice, leaning a lot closer to her, noses almost touching. "Y-yes I was!" she stuttered. Sasuke's smirk widened and he inched closer, foreheads now touching. "Prove it, Sa-ku-ra."
"I hate it when he says my name like that…" she thought, gulping and leaning back to "escape" him but to no avail, she was sandwiched by Sasuke and the back rest of the bench. He only closed the gap she made, preventing her from fleeing. "I'm waiting…"
Sakura thought of ways on how to counter him but couldn't. She searched her brain for some answers and got one, returning the smirk he gave her which earned her a confused look from the Uchiha before her. Wrapping both arms around his neck carefully and slowly, she pulled him without warning and made his lips crush onto her. His eyes widened, not expecting that kind of move from the girl.
When they parted, it was her turn to do the smirking and his to do the blinking and gaping. He couldn't believe that the girl had it in her. "Whoa…" he whispered and Sakura giggled at his reaction. "You did say I owe you, there you go!" She grinned. Wrong thing to say though, because a playful smirk plastered on his lips and he leaned closer to her, making the girl lean back some more until she was on her back with him on top. "Thanks for reminding me, too bad the move you made earlier was not enough." He whispered in her ear, flicking it with his tongue. She shivered and it intrigued him more. "Shall we continue where we last left?" he asked, grinning at her widened eyes and very red face.
"A-aa…" she managed to say and he lowered his head to hers, his bangs tickling her face as their lips touched once again, both oblivious to the footsteps nearing them. Actually, only one was lost in space, the other one just didn't give a damn whether someone was to see them or not. Hell, screw the public, he didn't care, and he'll continue what he's doing, only problem is, his phone rang, interrupting them yet again. "Che, not again," He muttered when they parted. He got off of her and sat down as she did the same, straightening the wrinkles of her clothes. "Hello..?" he asked after answering the phone.
"Sasuke-san..?"
"Hinata?"
"Mm, the dress is almost done, if you're wondering why it's so fast, it's because I made one earlier of the same color you wanted and just added a few modifications. Sorry if I caught a bad time to call, I just needed to inform you or I might forget."
"Aa, sure, no problem and thanks." He said, hanging up after wards and glanced at Sakura. "It was Hinata, she said your dress is almost done." She nodded and looked up to see the kids they met earlier returning from their break. Sasuke tossed them the orange ball and got up, taking his jacket and tie and putting on his shades. "Let's go." He told the girl who nodded again and got up, thanking the group of kids before them and off they went.
"Hey, I haven't really met your family, can you tell me what they're like?" she asked.
He stiffened at the mention of the word "family" but then relaxed a bit, closing his eyes. "I don't know, depends on how you'd like to view them." He answered. "I have a really great mom, an annoying yet great brother and…" he trailed off, hesitating to mention what he thinks about his father. "And…"
"Your dad." She finished for him, smiling. "Whatever made you hesitate is probably because you aren't in good terms with him, am I right?" she asked.
"…" he remained silent, noting how she read his mind. "Aa…" he whispered and opened his eyes slightly to look at her. "He… expects me to be like my brother…" he said in a soft voice "Like he wants me to be perfect, without any faults or failures…" he added.
"Maybe he just really cares…" she said and looked straight ahead. "Some parents are like that, they may not show it but deep down, they do."
"…I find it hard to believe." He whispered. "My dad… he… doesn't accept failures, even a tiny mistake could make him punish you… or… worse…" he narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering how he almost failed a mission and when he returned to Sharingan, his father did something he would never forget, he punched him, his son, right on the face, almost dislocating his jaw, it pained him, it really did. "He could've killed me too…" he thought out loud.
"W-what?" she asked in disbelief.
"Sakura," he said, facing her in a serious face. "I need an honest answer from you,"
"H-huh..?"
"I need to know," he said, grasping her shoulders and pulling her closer. "Do you lo-"
"Sakura..!"
Both turned to the high-pitched voice and Sakura's confused look turned to a happy one as she smiled brightly. "Ino!" A blonde girl who was around their age approached them with a bright smile matching Sakura's. "Hey girl, how have you been?" she asked and turned to Sasuke. "And who do we have here?"
Sasuke gave a nod. "Uchiha Sasuke." He replied and Ino gave an "Oh" and extended her hand to him. "Pleased to meet you," he took it and both shook. "So, are you Sakura-chan's boyfriend?" she asked with an evil smile. Sakura blushed at the comment and Sasuke remained passive and gave a nod. "Aa, I am."
"Whoa! Great! Now you have someone to protect you from your bullies in school!" the blonde said, turning to Sakura. "I guess even if I don't come back from Jakarta, you'd still be in one piece!" she said, grinning. "Well, I love to stay and chat but I think I came at the wrong time," she said, recalling their position earlier.
"No, it's okay." Sasuke said, glancing at Sakura who looked at him with wide eyes. "I think you two may need a lot of catching up, seeing as you haven't seen each other for..?"
"Months," Ino answered. "My parents just took me with them, scared that I might get kidnapped." She ranted and waved a dismissive hand. "Anyway, I can't stay long either, my mom's probably waiting for me in the Salon downtown and I just got bored of waiting for her so I took a little stroll, well, gotta go, nice meeting you Sasuke!" she said and ran off, waving at them both.
"You know Sasuke, it's a good thing you told her you're my boyfriend, otherwise, you'll be having another fan girl, believe me, I've known Ino for quite a while and I saw the glint in her yes when she saw you." She giggled at the horrified look he gave after hearing the dreaded word: Fan Girl. "What were going to ask me earlier?" she remembered and turned to him.
"Oh, it's nothing…" he said, finally clearing his mind. Why he hated to talk about his family with her, he gets lost and remembers the mission, then starts asking random and personal questions. "Let's go back…" he said and lead the way back to his bike.
"O-okay." She said, still wondering why he didn't want to continue his question. "He asked if I what..? Hmm… let's see… 'Do you lo-', what word could connect to that? It can't be Love now can it? I mean… he's only acting…" she thought sadly and sighed. They both got on the motorcycle and rode off back to Haruno residence.
"Welcome back Sakura-sama, Sasuke-san," a maid greeted them as they entered the front door. Both gave a nod and headed up the stairs all the way to Sakura's bedroom. "Oh crap, I forgot, we still have to read pages 126-129 in our history book." The Prime Minister's daughter said, groaning when they entered the room. "Already done with it…" Sasuke said, shrugging without a care. "Besides, we already took up that lesson when I was still in Jiyuuoka High." He added and leaned on her bedroom wall, eyes closed.
"No fair, well, I better start reading it now." She said to herself, not bothering to change her clothes. She took out her book and started to read but find out she couldn't, none of the words seemed to enter her mind and it was driving her crazy. "Sasuke," the said boy opened his eyes and turned to her. "Hn," she took this as a sign to continue. "Can you answer me one question?" she turned to him as he raised a brow. "I want to know," she said, looking down. "Are we only pretending about our relationship?" she asked, hurt evident in her voice. Sasuke noticed how she blinked several times and how her eyes were a bit watery.
"What are you saying?" he asked back and straightened himself up, walking to her completely facing her. "Didn't I already make it clear in the gymnasium and in the café?"
"I-I know that but… it's just that… I…" she couldn't hold back a few tears as some fell and rolled down her red cheeks. "I can't help but sometimes feel that-that…"
"That what?" he asked softly, leaning down and placing an index finger below her chin as he lifted her head to make her look at him directly in the eye. He cringed when he saw her sad face. He always hated seeing girls cry, they somehow made him soft, not that he already was but he kept denying it, refusing to swallow his pride. "That you feel that I'm using you? Playing you?"
She dodged his gaze and turned her head to the side, not wanting to look at him. Sakura didn't notice before that she was slowly falling for him, thinking it was just a friendly kind of liking, not knowing how it deepened into a more complicated feeling. "Answer me." He demanded, not taking his eyes off her. "Is that what you think?"
"I… I don't know…" she managed to say. "I don't know!"
"How can you not know?" he asked, taking her hand and holding onto it. "Because I know that I am not using you or toying with you, I know that I was at first infatuated with you, but now, I can't hold back… my true feelings for you…" he said and looked at her, eyes with a determined glint as the pair of emerald ones looked back with widened ones. "I am deeply in love with you…" and right after he whispered that to her, he closed the small gap of their lips, deepening it, asking her to open her mouth and let him in. She didn't react at first, letting his words sink into her head before it hit her, he just confessed to her, and when she felt his lips pushing harder onto hers, she closed her eyes and opened her mouth, giving him permission to enter.
Trapped in their own world full of bliss, both stood up straight, ready to take this to the next level as arms wrapped around each other possessively, not wanting to let go or part. Sasuke broke away slightly as Sakura tilted her head to one side, gesturing him to keep going and that she's ready, no hesitations or backing out. He did what she wanted him to do and kissed her neck, nibbling on some parts of her skin, marking her as his. Hearing a moan of pleasure only urged him to do more.
He leaned closer and licked her earlobe, smirking when he felt her shiver in his arms. "Tell me Sakura, what do you want?" he asked seductively. She gasped and pulled herself up to his ear and whispered in the same tone, "You." And his smirked broadened at the reply. "Good, because I do too, and I'm giving you what you want," confused at first, she was about to open her mouth to ask what he was talking about when she felt herself falling backwards to the bed, pinned by her bodyguard/boyfriend, a sly smirk on his lips as he looked at her possessively. Sakura felt goose bumps all over her body that she tried to say something but couldn't find her voice, now she knew what he was talking about, he was switching to his bad ass attitude, which she admitted to him and herself that she loves so much. "Are you still up for it, Sa-ku-ra?" he asked, slowly saying her name, syllable per syllable. She gave a nod and he smirked all the more, lowering his head at the nape of her neck, tasting her smooth skin with his tongue and loving every minute of it.
She gasped for air, feeling her heart beating faster and faster, her breath was ragged yet she enjoyed it. If her hands weren't held by him, she would've pulled on his hair or his whole body closer to hers. "Sa…su…ke…" she managed to say, "Stop… tea-sing… me…" she whimpered but that only made him want to keep her waiting. She felt his hot breath breathing onto her left ear. "You said you wanted me to be bad, so I'm going to be bad." He whispered and went back to her neck, kissing and sucking on it, giving her more than two hickies. "From now on, I'm marking you as mine, whoever takes you away from me will die and rot in hell." He said at the same time letting go of one of her hands just for a while then the other bound both together above her.
He slowly made his free hand roam around her body, looking for the string of her white jacket. Getting impatient, he raised his head slightly away from her neck and looked down, found the string and pulled on it, next, he sat up as she did the same, both panting yet still craving for more. To Sakura, what Sasuke did was not enough, and to the Uchiha, she still owed him after she stopped him from kissing her back in the café and this was a good enough repay.
Sasuke raised his right hand and caressed her cheek, feeling the warmth of her skin against his slightly cold hand. She leaned onto it, not able to fight the blush creeping through her cheeks; his other hand was placed on her shoulder and slid off the white clothing, tossing it aside. Her shaky hands managed to get a hold onto his white shirt and unbuttoned it, revealing his chest and abs, nearly fainting from the sight. With his help, she managed to get him half-naked as she allowed him to strip her off of her remaining clothing, at least, that was what she expected but he grasped the back of her neck gently and pulled her into another intense kiss. With both their eyes closed and thoughts running wild, he absent-mindedly slipped the strap of her baby blue dress, slowly undressing her and leaving the girl with only her underwear.
"Mou, you're really slow…" she whispered in his ear when he lowered his head some more to get another taste of her neck. She felt her lips curved into a smirk, knowing him, he wouldn't smile with the situation they're in. "Getting impatient..?" he asked. "Mm… damn you…" she muttered as she slowly lay back down on her soft bed, her clothes at the carpeted floor while he was still in his pants. "At least you had your coat and tie removed earlier." She giggled and he didn't remove the smirk on his face. "Just to let you know, I'm not going too far with this." He said and she gave a nod. "I know because I'll stop you if you do."
Their lips met once again as their tongues danced another dance, happy to be meeting again. Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer as he made one of his hands roam around her body, memorizing each curve of it, tracing some parts with his fingertips while she shivered whenever his hand came in contact with one of her private parts. Slowly making her way to his pants; both parted as she struggled to unbutton his remaining clothing and he laughed a bit, seeing her growing more impatient. He grabbed her hands and smirked, then guided her on removing it the right way. "Patience is a virtue Sakura," he said and slid off his pants. "Happy now?" she blushed and gave a nod. He leaned closer to her and kissed her collarbone as she moaned when he sucked on her skin once again and after feeling his hand reach down to her thigh while his other hand traced the curve of her body.
"Are you still up for this?" he asked, not raising his head to meet her eyes. She gasped and nodded, both willing to continue as they were stripped off of their remaining clothes.
Next morning, both were fully naked and out of breath. Although they didn't exactly did what married couples do on their honeymoon, both are still aware of their responsibilities and that they are still high school students.
Both were currently asleep, well, one of them to be exact. Sasuke was not only tired from what they did earlier but for protecting her all day long and for not getting enough sleep last night after receiving his dad's message. Sakura smiled and continued to look at his sleeping face. He looked too innocent to know how to handle a gun or even give a punch to anyone.
An arm was wrapped around her waist protectively and she had her hands resting against his bare chest and he was currently burying his nose on her hair, inhaling the fragrance of the cherry petal-like locks. Sakura could feel his warm breath on her face, suppressing a giggle to not wake him up. She continued to watch him until something caught her eye sight.
Since he was lying on his right side and she on her left, Sakura saw a small tattoo imprinted on his back left-side near the neck. She squint her eyes and realized it was the kanji word for death. The teenaged girl wondered why he would have such a mark but was interrupted in her thoughts when someone knocked on her bedroom door.
"Sakura, are you awake?"
Her eyes widened. "No way, dad's not supposed to be here yet!" she thought and started to panic, seeing the state she and Sasuke were in. "Sasuke-kun," she whispered, shaking him. He furrowed his eyebrows and grunted, not opening his eyes. "What..?"
"Sasuke, get up!" she hissed, pushing his arm away but he wouldn't budge and only tightened his grip, eyes still closed. "No, go back to sleep…" he said and Sakura sighed heavily. "If you don't get up, dad will kill you…" she muttered and he snapped his eyes open, looking at her. "What?"
"Dad is back, and he's knocking on my door…" she said. Sasuke looked at her for a few moments before he cursed under his breath and quickly got out of bed and took his clothes. Sakura grabbed hers as well, putting all of it on and pushing Sasuke to the bathroom, telling him to turn on the showers so that she can tell Ikichi he was taking a bath. He nodded and rushed inside the comfort room, shutting it and locking the door. Sakura fixed her appearance and tried her best to cover the multiple hickies she got from him. "I swear he's going to pay for these marks…" she thought angrily and went to open the door.
"Hi dad, you're back early…" she said, smiling.
"Well, I can't help but miss my little girl." He said, smiling back and pulled his daughter to a hug. "Now, how have you been doing?" he asked when they pulled apart. "I can see you're still okay, looks like Sasuke is doing a good job." He said and looked inside the room, searching for the said teen. "Where is the lad?"
"Taking a quick shower," she lied. "We went out yesterday to get myself a dress for the prom and well, some drunk driver ran over a puddle and got Sasuke wet and he didn't feel like taking a shower last night, saying he was too tired or sleepy." She explained, hoping her father would buy it.
"Oh, I see, if he comes out, please tell him to meet me in my office, I need to have a few words with him."
"Okay, sure." And Ikichi left.
Sasuke went out of the bathroom fully dressed and giving a sigh of relief. "That was close." He muttered. Sakura giggled and gestured to the door. "Dad wants to see you." she said and he gave a nod and was about to leave when she pulled him back. He was about to say something but stopped when Sakura quickly kissed him on the lips, making him stand there, frozen on the spot and she proceeded to his neck. He felt her tongue lick it and he shivered yet resisted to blush. He looked down with wide eyes to see Sakura smiling at him. "There, I got my revenge." She said, giggled, and went inside her room, closing the door behind her.
He blinked and touched the part where she sucked his skin. "Shit, did she just give me a mark?" he shook his head to get rid of the blush on his face and started to walk to Ikichi's office at the same time fixing the collar of his shirt to cover the hicky Sakura gave. Upon arriving there, he knocked on the door and the Prime Minister told him to come in so he did.
Sasuke stepped inside and closed the door behind him as he waited for Japan's leader to hang the phone. He was currently talking to… someone so he just stood there and waited for Ikichi to finish. "Okay, I'll be seeing you there then." He finally hung up and turned to Sasuke. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Konoha High just called me on my way back here and asked me to chaperone the dance this Friday night." He said and adjusted his reading glasses. "The person I was talking to just now was your father," when Ikichi said the word "father", Sasuke clenched his fists inside his pockets as his eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Konoha High told me to bring along a friend and requested the father of the new transfer student, which is you by the way, to come as the guest of honor." He said and looked up at the boy. "Now then, let's get to the point on why I called you here." He gave the boy before him a smile. "Thank you for keeping a close watch on my daughter and making sure she is safe, I'm glad I put my trust in you."
"Aa…" he responded.
"Is something troubling you Sasuke?"
"…no."
Ikichi didn't believe him at first, seeing how he hesitated to answer the question but shrugged it off and removed his glasses. "Anyway, I take it you will be Sakura's escort?"
"Aa."
"Alright, stick to the plan as the boyfriend when you're in school okay?"
He gave a nod and Ikichi dismissed him. "I think I saw something red on Sasuke's neck… maybe he got bitten by a bug." Ikichi shrugged and started to do some paperwork.
Sasuke sighed and took out his cellular, opening the flap to read his new message. Narrowing his eyes a bit, he went back to Sakura's room to get changed into his Yakuza outfit. "What does Itachi want now..?" he thought, entering the girl's room to see her emerge from the showers wrapped only in a towel, her hair dripping wet.
"Hey, what did dad say?" she asked.
"Just about the prom." He answered, averting his gaze elsewhere. "Your dad told my dad to come to the dance…"
She smiled. "That's great; I'll be meeting a member of your family!"
"Sakura, if only you knew what my family really is…" he thought, finally looking at her. "Damn, those are a lot of marks…"
The pink haired teen glared at him. "It's your fault…"
He shrugged. "Not my fault that your skin tasted good." He teased, smirking at her blushing face. "Why, you want more?"
"Oh shut up!" she said and rummaged through her closet for some clothes.
Sasuke continued watching her, smirking still as she huffed and looked for something to wear. She stopped and turned to him, raising a brow. "Just admiring your body," he said. "You look hot like that and I know you like those marks I gave, especially when I sucked your skin as you moaned my name," He said and closed the door then headed to his bag to fish out his Yakuza clothes. "I'm just going out for a while; my brother wants to talk to me." He said, removing his clothes and putting on his all-black outfit.
"Can I come?" she asked, clasping her hands in front of her chest and giving him her irresistible puppy dog eyes then leaned closer to him. Sasuke was halfway in putting on his black coat when Sakura started to plead. "No, you can't."
"Please?"
"No."
"With sugar on top?"
He twitched at this and began to face her. "I said-" he didn't get to finish for she was leaning a lot closer to him, grasping his black shirt and giving a sly look. "Oh come on, I know you want me to come…" she whispered, pressing her chest against his as he staggered a bit to the wall, her pinning him there. "What's wrong, cat got your tongue?" she teased, slowly making her way to his ear and like what he does to her, she flicked it with her tongue.
Sasuke gulped and started to blush furiously. Maybe showing his bad attitude is contagious seeing that Sakura is… well… seducing him perhaps. "No." he repeated and closed his eyes, fighting the temptation to pull off the towel that covered her still wet body and push her to the bed. "I have to go alone."
"Why?" she asked, still not pulling away.
"I just have to." He said, taking hold of both her wrists and gently pulled it away from his shirt. "Now, my brother is waiting, I have to go." She pushed him against the wall yet again and smirked. "Sakura… I'm not kidding."
"I'll let you go in exchange for something."
"…what might that be?"
Her smirk widened as she pulled herself up and whispered something in his ear. Sasuke smirked and faced her. "Is that all?" she nodded. "Deal." He said and quickly escaped from her grasp then pinned her on the wall he was previously leaning on, hands grasping on her wrists as he had them on the side of her heads, his smirk not leaving his face. "After this, don't give me those puppy eyes again," he said, leaning closer. "They turn me on." And he closed the gap of her lips, frenching her there.
"You're late."
Sasuke shrugged and sat down across from his brother inside a dimly lit A-class coffee shop. This is where Sharingan meetings were usually held if it involves around eight or less members. "Had to convince the girl." He muttered and clasped his hands together in front of his face, elbows resting on the round table. "Getting to the point, what's up with Oto?"
"The Oto gang is targeting not only your little girlfriend but you as well."
"Me..?"
"Yes," Itachi answered and handed him a folder which he brought with him. "In here are a few mug shots of the members of Oto. Their plan, according to Shikamaru is that they'll corner you and your girl then spill the beans about your true identity." Itachi narrowed his eyes. "Don't let your guard down, don't let them get you, I suggest you think up a counter to their words, it helps." He stood up and Sasuke followed suit. "Especially if she trusts you with all her heart and mind, she won't believe the Oto members."
"Hn." The younger Uchiha said and handed Itachi back the folder. "If that's all, I better head back then." He pocketed his hands and went to the door. "And Sasuke," He stopped and turned back to Itachi. "Me and Kakashi will support your decision, along with your idiotic friends."
Sasuke smirked and gave a nod then left. Itachi sighed and shook his head then left as well. Both were unaware that there was someone who had heard their conversation. He quickly took out some money then left the café, taking out his phone and calling a few friends of his.
"They know our plan." He said to the other person in the other line. "Kidnap the girl, now."
To be continued…
Next on Yakuza: Chapter 5: Exposed Truth II
"The Yakuza that killed your wife," he started and Ikichi looked up at him. "Was under my father's command, Sharingan,"
"Sasuke..?"
Sasuke smirked and it somehow made the Prime Minister's eyes dilate in fear and shock. "I'm from that Yakuza, it was my brother who killed your wife, this time it will be my turn, to kill your daughter." And he threw something on the ground as the object emitted smoke. Ikichi coughed and tried to search for the emergency button under his desk but when he was about to press it, Sasuke came behind him and hit the back of his head, making the man faint.
A/N: It's very obvious that the Yakuza that heard them was Oto. So, did I increase your interest on the little preview above? Will Sasuke really kill Sakura? Future chapters may start being longer than before. Probably as long as this or longer; if some things may seem rushed, forgive me, I need to skip unimportant parts that won't do any good for future chapters. The fluff between Sasuke and Sakura are just to keep you reviewers entertained. Nah, just joking, it's a few things that'll make the story important, please note the sasusaku moments, especially some words.
