A/N: So you guys got your Lemons, but as requested by some, it wasn't too graphic… and note, they didn't get THAT far as to where Sakura would start getting pregnant, they're smart enough to know when to stop! Besides, fanfiction(dot)net is not the right place to type those kinds of things despite the rating. Even if I do read some of them here, it's still not like me to do a "full-throttle" type of Lemon, I'd feel weird if I did so. Also, Itachi is NOT evil for those of you who are wondering. When I type AU stories n Naruto, Itachi isn't the bad guy. And if ever you guys are wondering, I skip a few weeks ahead to keep some parts short or some scenes as a secret to not spoil further chapters.

Yakuza

"Odd…" he said, eyeing the seven men who were bloody and beaten up so badly. "Why did it take me five minutes to beat up a bunch of amateurs when it only took me seconds to defeat Ikichi's top ten agents who are better than these beginners?" he thought for a while then started to put two and two together. "Of course! These guys are from Oto and they plan on getting rid of me then get Sakura, but how come they fought like they were only stalling me..?" he searched his brain for some possible answers then his eyes widened in realization. "Shit, they're after Sakura!" and he quickly got on his bike and drove off at top speed back to the Haruno residence.

"Damn! How stupid can I get?" he thought when he reached the mansion and quickly hopped off of the bike then rushed to Sakura's room, kicking the door open. "Sakura..!" he yelled and stopped when he saw her blinking and staring at him all dressed in a shirt and a pair of jeans.

"What?"

He twitched and clenched his fists as his cheeks turned a dark shade of red from embarrassment. "Aw, shit…" he stiffened when she approached him and giggled. "Dad said he invited your family for dinner, he said that you probably miss them so to show his appreciation for protecting me, he thought of the idea." She whispered and walked pass him. "By the way, you look hot like that!" and she left the room with a smile and a wink, leaving the Uchiha blushing some more and eyes dilating as he looked at her retreating figure, particularly, his eyes landed on her rear and he smirked, the blush fading. "Nice ass."

Chapter 5: Exposed Truth II

"Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto, it's good to see you again!" Ikichi said as he made his way to the living room and saw his guests for dinner, two men and one woman from Sasuke's family. "And you must be Itachi!" the Prime Minister turned to Itachi who gave a polite bow and a slight smile. "Nice to meet you Mr. Prime Minister." The boy greeted.

"Thank you all for coming," Ikichi said, looking at all three of them, "Fugaku, I trust you have already told them of the dance this coming Friday night?"

"Yes, and they would be glad to come as well." Fugaku answered, glancing at his wife and son who both gave a nod. "So, where is my other son? Has he been doing well?"

"Yes, a very wonderful job, although I think his skin is too sensitive, he has a bug bite somewhere on his neck and it still hasn't faded." Ikichi cupped his chin as a gesture of thinking. "It also makes me wonder why he doesn't scratch it or… well… take notice of it."

Itachi held in his laughter while Mikoto stifled a giggle. Fugaku, on the other hand, had his eyes narrowed and had a stern look on his face. "I see, I'll go check later, it might be something… dangerous…" all heads turned to the footsteps running down the stairs and a girl's voice teasing a boy's one.

"Admit it! You were staring at it!" the girl said as she ran down the marble staircase followed by a boy of her age all clad in black and a very red face. "No I wasn't! I just-"

"Sasuke was staring! Sasuke was staring and I bet you liked it!" she giggled and stopped when she saw her father tapping his foot on the ground and three people looking at her with a confused look. "No I didn't and I-" Sasuke stopped when he saw her gaping at someone so he turned his head to the direction her eyes were averted to and he nearly turned as white as a sheet of paper; especially the knowing smirk his brother gave and Fugaku's look of 'You-have-some-explaining-to-do' glare.

"Um… hi?" they said, turned to each other and blinked. Sakura giggled while the Uchiha smirked as both spoke once more. "Jinx!"

"Ahem," Ikichi cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention. "Anyway, Sakura, this is Sasuke's family," Ikichi gestured to the three people. "And this is my one and only daughter, Sakura."

"Um, g-good evening…" Sakura stuttered and slightly bowed for respect.

"Hello Sakura-chan," Mikoto smiled at her then turned to Sasuke. "It's good to see you again my son." Sasuke smiled slightly and approached his mother when she gestured him to come over. Her arms circled around the teen and she embraced her youngest offspring as if they haven't seen each other for years.

"Yo, save some for me!" Itachi said and grabbed Sasuke into a headlock, ruffling his already messy hair as both brothers wrestled each other playfully. "I can't believe living without you can make my life so dull! I had to pick on mom for months!"

"Heh, and I felt weird without having someone to bug me!"

Sakura smiled, seeing how happy Sasuke is. Her eyes glanced to his father, seeing the man gazing dangerously at her. She shivered in fear under the cold gaze and finally knew why Sasuke wasn't so close to his dad.

"Well then, time for dinner, we have a few things to discuss." Ikichi said, leading the way to the dining area. "I hope you are all in for a treat."

"Sasuke," Itachi whispered and looked down at his brother. "When we arrived, some guy dressed up as an agent was acting suspicious so I trailed him, he was trying to climb a tree where its branches were outstretched to a room, I suspected it as an Oto member so I took care of him."

"So that explains why no one has kidnapped her yet. Thanks bro."

"No problem, but you do have to tell me where you got that bug bite on your neck." He smirked when Sasuke blushed and glared at him, pulling up his Yakuza coat some more to cover his neck. "Shut up and it's none of your business."

"Yeah, I don't need to know who gave you that, she's right in front of me." And he gestured to Sakura who was indeed, walking in front of him. "So, was she good?"

"Pervert…" he muttered to his brother and they both smirked. "But not as perverted as melanin-less hair Kakashi." They both said and grinned.

Days later, Sasuke's parents and brother came back again on the night of their school's prom night. Ikichi just had to invite his brother and that alone pissed him a bit.

A twitch on his left eye as he slumped his shoulders and pocketed his hands in his black pants' pockets and muttering incoherent words as he saw his brother grinning at him, teasing him. He wondered why on earth this dance must require the students to wear such formal clothing like he had on now.

Puh-leeze, the Yakuza outfit was way cooler, and to top it all of, the suit was steamy to wear with a capital 'S'! He glared at his brother who came along with their dad, who was invited by his supposed "boss", a.k.a. Prime Minister Haruno Ikichi who happens to be the chaperone of their school's dance.

"My baby brother's going to a prom with a date and in a suit! Oh, and did I mention dancing with a girl?" the older boy grinned some more, mocking his younger brother who was just ready to shove a grenade in Itachi's mouth and make him swallow and then his insides explode and- well, you get the idea.

Tch, too bad he was an Uchiha, one who comes from that family must follow the rules applied and one is not killing a family member. But still, aren't siblings supposed to torture one another no matter who is older or younger? Apparently, his father was against him and on Itachi's side. Hooray for the weasel and boo for the guy who was named after a great legendary ninja, as far as he can recall his mom telling him his name's history.

Ikichi stood up soon after and the Uchiha family in the room stared at him. The Prime Minister smiled at the direction of the marble staircase and all onyx eyes turned to where Japan's leader was looking and beaming at. Once again, Fugaku recalled the first date he had with his wife, Mikoto, who was in a cream-colored dress and smiling as well as glancing proudly at her youngest son. Itachi, for the first time was gaping and felt like he was beaten by his little brother when it came to dates and as for our main male character of the story..? Well, Sasuke couldn't actually believe the breathtaking sight he saw. His eyes were wide and he felt weak in the knees yet again, just at the sight of Haruno Sakura in her dress made him fall in love with her all over again. "Angels do exist…" he thought and finally managed to straighten himself and give a smile as he walked to the girl descending from the stairs and offered his right arm which she gladly took.

"Hey, do I look… okay?" she asked above a whisper when he reached her side, slightly hiding her blushing face. Sasuke turned to her and smiled. "Yeah, you look great." She returned the same grin and let him lead her to the rest of the people waiting.

Most of the students stared at the Prime Minister in shock, not knowing that he was going to be the school dance's chaperone, along with three guests of honor, who happens to be Sasuke's family. Itachi sighed irritably when the girls inside began swooning over him, leaving their dates crying waterfall tears.

"Good luck bro," Sasuke smirked and walked off along with Sakura as both went to get some drinks. "Hey, your dad sort of freaked me out last Sunday during dinner, I thought he hated me or something…" she said, taking a sip from her soda can. Sasuke was opening his when he stopped after recalling what his father told him earlier. He sighed and continued to open the can, downing the contents.

"Are you feeling okay?"

"Aa…" he muttered as music started to play. He took note of a few girls glancing at his direction with a hint of blush across their cheeks and those oh-so annoying flirtatious smiles and giggles. He cringed and turned to Sakura to see some boys ready to ask her for a dance. "Damn, too many competitions…" he thought and by instinct, quickly wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer, making the teens that were about to approach them stop in their tracks. "Sakura, let's dance." And he smirked and pulled her to the dance floor, not giving her a chance to respond as his left hand clasped her right and the other wrapped around her waist.

"There's just one problem, I'm not a good dancer!" she hissed and slightly panicked when he started to sway, bringing her with him as well, making it look like she was good at dancing. "Opposites attract Sakura and it just so happens that my parents are good dancers," he whispered and turned to his mom who dragged his dad to the dance floor as well. "Let's just say, I got their talent as well."

Sakura blushed and gave in, looking down to avoid stepping on his feet. "Maybe I should teach you a few things," he smirked when she only stiffened a bit. "First of all, never leave your partner's eyes," with that, he placed two fingers below her chin and lifted it up so that they were gazing into each other's eyes. "Next, have confidence and stop looking or glancing down." He added and she laughed nervously.

"I really suck…"

"No, you're doing fine, just follow my lead." He assured her and leaned his forehead onto hers when a love song started to play. Both his arms wrapped around her waist while hers were around his neck. This time, she was looking at his onyx orbs and he to her sea green ones. They continued to sway to the beat, slowly and not knowingly, catching most of the people's attention, including their parents and Itachi.

Mikoto smiled seeing the pair who were most probably oblivious to the whole world and had their own place right now. She turned to her husband who still kept gazing at his son and Sakura with a stern look. "Maybe we shouldn't let him do it." She started and Fugaku turned his attention to her. "I have a feeling that Sasuke won't be able to do the mission properly, not since he's in love with her." She added and turned back to her youngest son, still smiling. "I've never seen him this happy, nor have I ever seen him so content and relaxed."

"He can't, he has to do this to prove his loyalty to the gang, and no son of mine can ever fail a mission, you know that very well Mikoto, besides," he turned back to Sasuke and narrowed his eyes. "He must not let his emotions get the best of him, which is our rule in Sharingan."

"Fugaku, we can't… force him…"

"You can't, but I can." And as the song ended, he parted from his wife and walked over to Ikichi to strike up another conversation. Mikoto sighed sadly and didn't know what to do. If she chose to stick with the mission, she'd feel bad to see her son feel guilt eat him up inside. On the other hand, if she were to take Sasuke's side, it would mean betraying the one she loves. "What should I do..?"

"The song stopped…" she whispered.

"I know…" he said, still not looking away from her eyes as he leaned a bit closer to her. Sakura waited for his lips on hers before closing her eyes slowly as he was millimeters away.

"Sasuke, I need help here!"

He stopped when his lips slightly brushed hers and parted then turned to see his brother being ganged up by girls and some boys glaring daggers at him. Sakura smiled slightly and told him to go and help his brother while she'll go out for some fresh air. At first, he didn't want to let her go out alone, recalling a few Oto members who are after her but then, he just couldn't ignore his brother.

"Alright, be careful okay?"

"I will, don't worry." And she left, stepping out of the gym. Sasuke watched her figure disappear through the doors then he headed to Itachi and managed to get him out of the mob of girls and went elsewhere. "Geez, can't you take care of those girls?" he asked, raising a brow at the older Uchiha. "Well, there, better keep your distance from them." He added and went outside to follow Sakura.

Itachi smirked and took out a camera, browsing to the pictures he took, one of which were his favorites, his little brother about to kiss Sakura. "Looks like another wallpaper for my brother's computer!" he thought out loud and pocketed the digital camera and went looking for Kakashi.

He stopped when he heard Fugaku talking to somebody on his phone and decided to listen a bit before venturing elsewhere. "Dad's up to something again…"

"I see," he said. "Lock them up and I'll deal with them when I get back." He then hung up and glared at his cell phone and spun around, looking for Sasuke with a fierce glare in his eyes. Itachi took this as a bad sign and decided to warn his brother so he dashed out of the gym and began calling out to Sasuke.

"It's too cold out here…" she whispered to herself and crossed her arms to keep warm, nearly jumping by surprise when a black jacket was wrapped around her bare shoulders. She turned her head slightly and relaxed after seeing it was only Sasuke. "You scared me, you know."

"Sorry, you were really shaking so I had to act fast." He said and didn't remove his arms away from her waist. Silence followed and they both looked up at the stars twinkling that night, with only the music that was currently playing in the gym as their source of noise. She lowered her head slightly and leaned back on him. "Hey, Sasuke,"

"Hn..?"

"Last Saturday, I… saw a tattoo… on the left side of your neck, at the back part, with the kanji word of death, why is it… there?" she asked, unsure whether she picked the right time to ask about it.

"…" he didn't respond for a while and thought of a few things. "…Sakura," he began and let go of her as she turned around to face him when his hands grasped her shoulders. He looked at her straight in the eye and felt his heartbeat double the pace. "Before I answer your question, there's something I want to know," he said and looked down, averting her gaze. "I need to know if… you…" he trailed off, losing the courage to ask her. "Never mind…"

"What? Tell me, what is it?"

Sasuke let go of her and turned his back to her, pocketing his hands. "Forget it, it's not important…" he muttered and hung his head low. "I'll be the judge of that!" she said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Tell me, what do you want to know?"

"…do… you…" he closed his eyes and sighed. "If there comes a time I did something wrong, would you hate me?"

"Why are you asking me this..?"

"Just answer me Sakura!" he snapped, facing her with an annoyed look. She was taken a back by it and she somehow got scared at his sudden mood swing. "I need to know…" he said, his voice softening and his bangs shadowing his eyes. "I need to know if you'll still be there…"

Sakura looked at him with a worried expression and took his hands in his, clasping both together. "I won't hate you…" she said. "How can I ever hate you when I love you?" she stated and he shook a bit, pulling his hands away then quickly wrapping them around her in a tight embrace, still shaking as he refused to cry or shed some tears. "Damn you…" he whispered. "Damn you for always making me express things I don't want to…" he parted and cupped her face, kissing her forehead lightly before speaking yet again. "Damn you for making me say I love you…" and he ended it with a gentle kiss on her lips.

Itachi continued to search for his brother until he heard him yell all of a sudden. He followed his voice and saw him with Sakura, who soon clasped her hands together with his. Itachi couldn't believe that he saw his brother trembling, and how he saw him give sweet gestures to the girl. "Sasuke…" he thought and smiled slightly. "Idiot, you're really a pain in the ass, but heck, you're supposed to be…" he waited for a while before approaching them when they parted from their lip lock.

"Sasuke," he called out as both turned to him. "I need to talk to you for a while, I hope you don't mind Sakura-san," he said and got a nod from the girl as Sasuke walked to Itachi and both went out of ear shot.

"How much do you love her?"

"What?"

A poke on the forehead was what Sasuke received. "Sakura," he said, specifying who he was referring to "How much do you love her? Are you willing to die for her? To betray your dad and your Yakuza..?"

"Yeah," he answered, rubbing his forehead. "I am."

"You really are an idiot," he sighed and turned back to his little brother. "But you know I'm always there to support you, just tell me what you need and what to do. By the way, I think dad is planning something, so watch your back." And he walked off after Sasuke gave a nod.

"What will I do without you bro?" thought Sasuke and smiled slightly. "Thanks Itachi."

"Hey, what's up?" Sakura asked, approaching Sasuke. The Uchiha turned to her and smiled, taking her hand. "Just some brotherly talk, come on, the last dance is up, and I want to have one more dance with you." And he pulled her back inside the gym, clearly avoiding his father after Itachi's warning. He took her in the middle of the dance floor, a little bit far from his dad.

"I think by now, you know how to sway to the beat of the music." He teased and wrapped his arms around her waist as she did the same around his neck. "If not, just follow my lead as always, alright?"

"Mm, I will." And when the music started, they swayed to the beat, foreheads touching and eyes locked on each other, oblivious to the things happening around them, enclosing themselves in their own kind of world, where they would be together always, where they will never be torn apart.

Fugaku had spotted them and his eyebrows knitted together as he stomped towards the two. Unfortunately for him yet fortunate for Sasuke, Itachi came and blocked his dad. "Hey dad, there's something I need to tell you, I just got a call from the Yakuza and they mentioned something about Oto." This caught his father's attention as the older man turned to Itachi with wide eyes. "What about Oto?"

"Shisui said that Oto may come here and ambush us, or attack then kidnap Haruno's daughter." Itachi turned to look outside the window. "That's why I asked Sasuke to follow Sakura outside earlier and why I too, went along in case a lot of them were to come."

"Did you suspect anything Itachi?"

"No, at least, not yet."

"Then why is Sasuke over there, looking as if he doesn't care of Oto members were here?"

"Simple, he needs to act, are you forgetting that Haruno Ikichi still doesn't know who we are?"

Fugaku remained silent and gave a nod, then turned around and went to look for his wife. "I'll go inform your mother, in the meantime, keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary."

"Sure dad." Grinned Itachi and turned around with a smirk. "I am so good…"

(For better reading: If you have the song "Eternal Snow" from Full Moon wo Sagashite, play it on this part, also, it would serve as the background music for this scene)

"Sasuke,"

"Yeah..?"

"You know what..?" she asked, smiling. "I've never been this happy ever since my mom died."

"Aa, I know." He replied. "I know…"

She held onto him tighter. "I don't want this to end…" and she rested her head on his chest, closing her eyes as she listened to his rhythmic heartbeat. "I wish this would last…" he rested his head on top of hers and half-closed his eyes. "Aa, I do too…" and he too, held the girl tighter. "I don't know how many times I'll be saying this, but I wish you'll never get tired of hearing it, the same thing as I won't get fed up with saying it," he murmured and buried his nose on her hair. "I love you Sakura, and nothing can change that, no one will change that… if ever, I'll find a way to get it back…"

"Promise..?"

"I promise…"

"Sasuke…" he moved a bit, gesturing her to continue. "I love you too…"

They parted a bit and looked into each other's eyes before closing them, as well as the gap of their lips. Itachi smiled at the scene before him and would do anything to prevent his father from taking this away from his little brother. "I can't believe how much this girl has changed him…"

Still in their lip lock, he deepened it and so did she, not wanting to let go or part, but they had to, they still needed to breathe, but that didn't mean they can let go, they still held onto each other tightly, as if they would never see each other again if they were to part. What was worse is Fugaku saw how his son acted towards the girl. "He… he can't be…" a glare once again formed on his eyes yet he tried to stop himself from going over there and pulling the two apart, careful not to make a scene, thinking that perhaps the Oto members might notice this as a good time to attack.

The Sharingan leader looked at Itachi and noticed how his eldest son was looking at the "supposed" couple with a smile on his face, looking like he didn't care if there were Oto members around the vicinity. "Unless, it was only a distraction…" Fugaku fumed at this and marched towards Itachi, grasping his shoulders from behind in a tight grip as he turned the boy around and glared.

"Tell me the truth Itachi, you're preventing me from breaking your brother and Sakura apart, aren't you?" Inside, Itachi was panicking but still kept a passive face. "You know about theior secret relationship, then perhaps I should let Ikichi know as well, then maybe the two of us can prevent them from getting into a deeper relationship and we can carry on with the mission."

"No dad." Itachi said. "I will not allow anyone, not even you, to keep Sasuke from being happy. You have already taken away my own freedom when I became your son, so I'm not letting you do the same to my brother."

"You dare defy me?"

"Ever since I was born, I will always defy you, though I may not show it, I am now exposing it." Itachi said, eyes matching his father's glare. "And that is what I've been feeling starting from the day you laid me on about the rules of Sharingan."

"You will be locked up with those three imbeciles and you will regret ever saying those words to me, I'll make sure of that."

"And I'll make sure that you won't separate Sasuke and Sakura, even if I have to fight you myself." And with this, he readied himself in a fighting stance. "Tell me dad, if I fight you right here, right now, I'm one hundred percent sure that Sasuke and mom will have my back covered, what about you? I doubt that Ikichi will be able to say anything."

He was left speechless after that and it made his blood boil in anger, especially when Itachi was smirking. Fugaku turned his back on his son and left without saying anything as his son snickered in triumph. For the first time, he defeated his dad, maybe not physically but verbally, it's still a record.

It was getting a bit late so everyone went home. Ikichi had asked Fugaku if Sasuke can stay until Monday next week, wanting to talk to the young Uchiha about something. When Ikichi said that, Fugaku quickly thought of a plan and smirked inwardly, then gave a nod and accepted Ikichi's request.

In Sakura's room, the two were thinking on whether they should let Ikichi know about their relationship or not. Sasuke said that it would be better to let the Prime Minister know but Sakura had doubts, thinking that her father might take it the wrong way. "Still, maybe you're right, it would be a lot better to let dad know…"

"Alright, when do you plan to tell him?"

"I don't know… when he calls for you?"

"I think Monday after school will do."

Sakura thought for a moment then nodded. "Okay." She got up from her bed and stretched. "It's getting late, we should get some sleep now." She nearly yelped when his arms wrapped around her waist from behind and started to kiss her neck. "You want me to help you get ready for bed?" he asked teasingly. She giggled and turned around to face him. "Only if you let me help too…" Sasuke smirked at this and carried her bridal style, kicking open the bathroom door. He put Sakura down and closed the door, locking it while Sakura turned on the shower and both stepped in, clothes still on. Sasuke leaned down to her ear and smirked, then whispered in a low and teasing voice: "Ladies first…" and soon, she was being stripped off her dress in a slow and teasing manner by his hands.

Sakura shivered despite the warm water running down her now half-naked body. She grasped onto her black suit and pushed it off of him and slowly undid his tie and buttons, removing all of his clothes covering his upper body. He smirked when she moaned after he licked onto her neck and sucked on her skin, adding another mark on her as the rest that he gave before had disappeared. She raked her hands on his raven hair and pulled him closer to him when his hands roamed around her body, stopping at her back and unhooking her bra.

He felt her smooth hands touch his shoulders and slowly moving down to feel his well-toned abs, stopping at the buckle of belt and removing it, pulling the black leather that secured his slightly loose pants. She unbuttoned the black slacks and it slid down while they were both licking each others' lips, tongues wildly dancing and tangling, each memorizing the details of the other's mouth.

With each only have one remaining thing that covered their most private parts, they went to the next level and not only kissing or licking was done. Soon enough, they were touching every part of the other's body as the warm water continued to shower on them. Sakura moaned and wrapped her arms around him tighter as he did the same, one hand switching the warm water to cold, making Sakura jump from the sudden coldness. He laughed when she shivered and cuddled closer.

"Heh, got you." he joked and she poked him on his nose gently, not wanting him to have another nose bleed the last time he saw her in only a towel. "You're evil..." she murmured and gave a small smile, watching how the droplets of water roll down from his hair and face as more replace them. "I can;t decide which side of you do i like best though," she admitted. "Let's see who'll win, your bad side, your sweet and caring side or your teasing and pretending innocent one?" she grinned.

"How about the fourht one?" he suggested, leaning closer to her. She looked up at him, blinking, obviously asking what the fourth one was capable of. "All of the above." he whispered and kissed her aggresively, making ehr gasp as he let his tongue invade her mouth for the... well, he lost count, and so did the author.

In Sakura's mind, she was going crazy after he showed his bad stage but when his hands wrapped around her waist while the other caressed her cherry tresses, she relaxed, knowing this was the sweet and caring Sasuke. One his tongue had left her mouth and he slowly went to her ear, she giggled when he blew on it, the teasing side of Sasuke. "Yeah, I like this one better..." she whispered. He smirked even though she couldn't see it. "Good, because this is the real me when it comes to you."

Monday rolls around and Ikichi knocks on the room door of his daughter's room; he waited for a bit before Sakura opened the door, hair still a bit messy and she was hiding behind the door with a smile on her face though deep down, she was a bit nervous. "Good morning dad, what is it?"

"I'd like to talk to Sasuke before you two leave for school."

"Oh, could you wait a moment? He's taking a bath."

Ikichi nodded and gave a smile then left his daughter, walking to his office. Sakura closed her bedroom door and sighed in relief and leaned on the door, wrapped only in her blankets. She turned towards the bathroom door when it opened and Sasuke came out all dressed up in his Yakuza outfit and having an annoyed look.

"Aww, what's with the irritated look?" she asked in a sing-song voice, grinning at him. He twitched and shook his head then proceeded to walk out of the room. "Ne, where are you going?" he turned to her and raised a brow. "Your dad wants to see me right?"

She faked a pout. "No bye-bye kiss?"

Again, he twitched. "What the hell happened to you..?" he muttered and got a giggle from Sakura. "What..?"

"Your reaction was just funny and cute." She grinned and walked over to him, tiptoed and gave him a light peck on the cheek. "Sorry, just wanted to tease you." She laughed and he blushed, turning away. "Cut it out…" he murmured and pocketed his hands. "Well, go on, dad's waiting," she pushed him lightly out of the door. "Oh, and Sasuke..?" he stopped walking and turned his head to her. She smiled and waved. "Love 'ya!" and closed the door.

He would've smiled too if he didn't read his dad's message when he was inside the bathroom. After she said those words, it only pained him, knowing that he has to continue the mission. He had his eyes half-closed and head hung low. "Yeah, I love you too but…" he sighed and walked to Ikichi's office, debating to himself on what to do. "But I can't back out… or my friends and my brother will get… tortured…or worse… killed…"

His dad's message:

Your friends were lying to me Sasuke, and it's your fault that they are imprisoned for a month. If you betray our gang, they will be tortured and killed slowly and painfully; prove your loyalty to them and to Sharingan by forgetting about your feelings for that girl. It's all up to you, her life or your friends' life, that, including your brother's.

Sasuke reached Ikichi's office and entered the dimly lit room. He made up his mind on what to do, no matter how much he'll hate himself for doing so, he had to do this. Ikichi smiled and beckoned him to come closer but he didn't move. Sasuke only stared at the Prime Minister with pure coldness in his eyes that puzzled Japan's leader.

"Is something wrong?" he asked. "If you're not feeling well, we can talk some other time, you deserve a good rest Sasuke, and I'm glad I chose you as my daughter's bodyguard," he gave the teen another fatherly smile. "To be honest, you're like a son to me, one that I've always wanted to have." He said, a sad smile forming on his lips as he recalled his wife telling him she was pregnant with a baby boy, however, fate was cruel, a Yakuza kidnapped and killed her, not giving the unborn baby a chance to live. "Too bad I never had a chance to have a son…" he whispered but the young Uchiha's keen sense of hearing heard it clearly, and it only made his job difficult.

"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.

"I'm really sorry…" he whispered, clenching his fists. "Damn it!" and he went out of the office and ran to Sakura's room. He heard a few of the guards' footsteps rushing to Ikichi's office so he picked up the pace and quickly rushed into Sakura's room, startling the girl.

"S-Sasuke..?" she asked, dropping the brush she used to comb her hair and got up, walking towards him dressed in her Konoha High uniform minus the jacket. "What's wrong? Why are you so out of breath?"

"I'm sorry…" he whispered and knocked the back of her head. Sakura couldn't believe what he did and before she fainted, she saw Sasuke mouthing something to her and felt him catch her. "Sasuke… why?" was the last thing she thought before everything went black.

Sasuke lifted her up and turned to the window which was currently open. He rushed over to it and jumped off the 2-storey high mansion, landing on the ground perfectly, not getting himself hurt or the girl he was carrying. He rushed to the back yard where his bike was parked and quickly put on a helmet over Sakura's head and another over his. Placing the girl in front of him and making sure she wouldn't fall, he got on and wrapped his arms protectively around her and started the engine, then rode off outside the open gate where a car was supposed to enter. He ignored the shouts and threats of the security and continued driving off.

"Shisui, on with plan b." he said through his communicator that was attached to his ear and a microphone near his mouth. "Okay." Was the reply and Sasuke gave a sigh. "Damn it all…"

To be continued...

"You tricked me! You lied to me!" she yelled at him, bawling her fist and pounded on his chest but found that she couldn't really hurt him and she started to cry, grasping on his shirt as she slowly fell to her knees. "You… lied…" she whispered, sobbing. Sasuke didn't do anything but just stare at her. He may be stoic on the outside, but inside, he was crying, deep down, his heart was shattered when he saw how she looked and how she was feeling. "I hate you but… I still… love you…" and altogether, he lost control and pulled her into a tight hug, right in front of his father.
