Sakura's Pov

"Get this party rollin' bitches!"

I smacked my forehead with the back of my palm as a drunken Ino took off her jacket and yelled at the top of her voice. Rest of the girls whistled as the rum shots were made all around. It was Hinata's bachelorette party, who was getting married in two days to my best friend Naruto. I wriggled my way out of the thick crowd of ladies as they danced to the beat of Hey Mama song.

'Wasn't it a bit too early to be playing that song?'

My eyes landed on Hinata who have excused herself from everyone and was sitting on the stool near the kitchen. I walked towards her and she gave me a small smile.

"Wow! I didn't know things will turn out this wild."

I commented at the sight of half-naked ladies twerking and boozing as Hinata chuckled and agreed silently. Being her maid of honour, it was my duty to throw her the special bachelorette party. But things didn't turn out the way I wanted to. Ino, our self-proclaimed party animal had turned the heat more than a notch up by bringing strippers and raw alcohol to the apartment.

Things escalated far too quickly from there and the scene in front was the outcome of all of it. The only ones sober were Hinata, who didn't like drinking. Me, I have to pick Sarada from Kushina's place afterwards and I can't afford to be drunk in front of my daughter and Tenten, who was pregnant with Neji's child.

"Hinata, lighten up a little! Enjoy your last days being single!"

Tenten exclaimed to the lavender eyed girl as she waddled towards us slowly. At seven months, she can hardly walk properly as I helped her in sitting on the couch.

"I am enjoying it."

Hinata told her as she sipped on her martini while Tenten simply rolled her eyes at her. She was the first one to get married among us girls last year.

"Trust me honey, once this happens you are not going to get much freedom."

She pointed to her protruding belly with a scowl as Hinata laughed nervously at her.

"I have to back her up on this one."

I said nodding at Tenten as she groaned and tried to get in a comfortable position. I still remembered all the sleepless nights I spend in my third trimester. I remembered crying at odd times in night partly due to the discomfort and partly due to Sasuke. Ino became my life saver then, watching Netflix with me, rubbing my swollen toes, making pancakes at quarter past three. You name it. The girl did everything for me.

It was eleven by the time party ended and after dropping a passed out Ino at her place, I drove to Kushina's to pick up Sarada who was already asleep. It was already twelve by the time I reached back to my apartment and after tucking Sarada in her comforter I dropped dead on my bed.

Next morning

"Here's your mango smoothie honey."

Sarada grinned widely as I gave her favourite drink and sat beside her to sip on my yoghurt. It was Friday, the only day I got off from work and Sarada also didn't have school today so we were strolling aimlessly through the streets before deciding to hit Pops smoothies and have a drink.

It was one of the most famous smoothie shops in the area and it was always a big hit in students. I remember how we used to frequent this place back in high school. I had a lot of memories associated with this place. After all, it was here that I met Sasuke for the first time.

'Here's to the start of our high school life!"

Ino bumped her smoothie with mine and Naruto as we sat in the booth and sipped on our drink. Starting tomorrow, we were no more middle scholars and we all were pretty excited.

"I can't believe it. The prom dance, cheerleading, dating, late night parties! You have no idea how long I waited for all this."

Ino exclaimed with joy as Naruto agreed and gave her a high five. I only shook my head at them. I was also looking forward to high school but definitely not for the same reasons as Ino.

"He is late."

Naruto muttered as he glanced to his wrist watch and then back to the front door. I remembered now, the reason why were actually here was that Naruto's childhood friend was transferring to our school and he would be meeting him here. He didn't tell us much about that guy, only that his name was Sasuke….well something.

"Is he hot?"

Ino asked hopefully as Naruto blinked at her before shaking his head.

"Nope. Not even half as good looking as me."

"Seriously? And here I was hoping to score a date with a new regulation hottie."

She huffed and crossed her arms across her chest as I laughed at her expense. It was really strange how opposite we both were in personalities. But then again, opposites attract.

"He is here. TEME! COME HERE!"

We gaped at Naruto's choice of words before I turned to look in the direction he was waving. My jaw dropped on the floor and I swear I heard Ino splitting her drink from the mouth. Because walking towards us was the most gorgeous human specimen we have ever laid eyes on. He was pale in complexion and had ruffled dark hairs which were spiky at ends. He had a good athletic built as I could see the lean muscles of his forearm from his rolled sleeve. But that wasn't it. His features were aristocratic with perfectly carved nose, thin lips and onyx eyes which were intense. He was...intimidating in a good way. I barely noticed Naruto getting up from the chair and giving a quick hug to Mr Adonis, who scowled slightly before he broke from him.

"And this is Sakura.."

I snapped out of my daze and noticed that three pair of eyes was staring questionably at me. Naruto have already introduced Ino to him, who was batting her eyelashes flirtatiously at him. Damn! I must look like a fool now.

"Umm..Hi."

I managed to get out a single word of greeting as he raised his eyebrow at me and I blushed and looked away. He sat opposite to me with Naruto as our loud-mouthed friend broke the awkward ice.

"Sasuke, you got to try the smoothies here man. They are the best in city."

"I don't like these dobe."

As if his appearance wasn't sexy enough, his voice was dripping with pheromones as he spoke in a deep velvety voice. Don't get me wrong, I usually don't drool over guys like that but this one, he was an exception.

"Yes Teme only likes tomato."

"You can try the tomato smoothie then."

I blurted out suddenly and flushed when his dark eyes rested on me. I visibly gulped as he kept staring at me. As though, analysing my every move. I felt like the suspect in crime, him being the interrogator.

"Oh yeah, you are right Sak."

Without a word he got up and walked towards the stand as Ino let out a big squeal.

"Oh my god! He is a sex god Forehead."

"A what?"

Naruto appeared confused as Ino shot him a glare.

"You liar. You said he was ugly. He is freaking Hot!"

I silently agreed with her as I watched him stand by the counter. He was tapping on the wooden surface as he roamed his eyes around. My breath hitched in my throat as his eyes rested on me. Was it just me or was it getting hotter around here? I bit my lip with nervousness as he kept his gaze locked on me before shooting me the sexiest smirk I have ever seen in my life. He was aware of his effect on me as he kept smirking and I gathered myself to look away.

Needless to say, high school was going to be pretty interesting.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I noticed Sarada tugging at my top and I gave her a questioning look.

"Mama let's go to the park now. I want to swing."

Her eyes gleamed with excitement as I chuckled and held her hand in mine before walking out of the shop. We walked through the pavement as the park was just two minute distance from here. Sarada bounced happily on her feet as we neared the swings.

"Mama this one!"

I lifted her up and carefully made her sit on the seat before pushing her swing. She giggled as her hairs flew in the air and I laughed along with her. Sarada loved swings just like me.

"Mama go high."

She yelled as I pushed it with more force and she swung higher. After a couple of minutes I stopped and gently asked her to get up as more people were waiting for their chance.

"But I want more."

She pouted childishly as I bend down to her level and pinched her chubby cheeks.

"Don't make that face princess. Now how about we go and eat your favourite ice cream.."

I cooed as I placed sloppy kiss all over her face and she laughed. She also had a sweet tooth just like me.

"Haha…that tickles."

She laughed as I stopped and got up.

"Daddy I want cotton candies."

We turned our heads as a girl just about Sarada's age whined before she was lifted up by the man, probably her Dad who patted her head.

"Anything for my baby girl."

She clutched his shirt with tiny fingers as they both walked away from there. I looked down at Sarada who was watching their retreating back with sad look in her eyes as my heart churned painfully at her expression. Even though she was only five but she had asked me a couple of times about her Daddy. I remembered the first time was when she was only three and had started going to playschool. She told me how everyone's father came to pick them up and asked me where was my Papa.

It was one of the tensest moment of my life as I told her that unlike others her Papa and Mama weren't married. I explained her our situation in the best possible way that her three year old brain could decipher. She didn't question me again and was back to her happy self. She mentioned him on few occasions here and there but nothing too serious. Looking at her now, I wonder if that's how she felt every time she saw her friends or classmate with their father.

"Sarada."

I called her name gently as she looked up at me before smiling widely.

"Let's go eat ice cream Mama."

I was surprised as she practically dragged me from there and then I remembered. She had caught me crying late at night sometimes and somehow she had figured out that her Daddy hurt Mumma. She was too smart. I had the sudden urge to pick her up and cuddle her closer to my chest lovingly. My baby girl didn't want to see me upset. I held her hand tightly as we walked out of the park and for a split second I wondered what my life would have been if Sasuke never left Japan.

Sasuke's Pov

I inhaled the fresh air of Tokyo as I got out of the airport. I couldn't believe how good it felt to be back again. The city had changed a lot in the past few years. The infrastructure was much better and developed than before and I smiled to myself. I glanced around in the parking lot and wondered where in the hell my chauffeur was.

"Hey Sasucakes! Over here."

Oh no. I groaned visibly as I caught sight of my cousin Shisui motioning towards his sleek black sports car. He grinned widely as I trotted towards him, ignoring the sharp glare I sent his way.

"What are you doing here?"

"Aww come on Sasucupcake. You really thought I won't come to pick up my favourite cousin?"

"Stop calling me that idiot."

I hissed as he placed my luggage back and got into the driver's seat. I followed him and sat on the passenger's seat without a word as he started the engine. It was silent for few minutes before he opened his mouth again.

"I knew you were gay. As soon as you learned Naruto was getting married, you took the first available flight to sabotage his wedding. "

"Fuck off."

"Language boy.."

He warned teasingly as I looked out of the window. It was useless arguing with Shisui as he missed no chance of making fun of me. I was only glad that Itachi was not here. I shuddered at the memories of those two together. They used to be a royal pain in my ass back then.

"Will you be staying with aunt or at hotel?"

He asked as he took a swift turn towards left on the highway and I played with my phone.

"Hotel."

I told him shortly as he hummed. My mother lived in Kyoto so I was definitely not going all the way back home and then travelling back to Tokyo tomorrow for Naruto's wedding.

"I will book you a room in my hotel."

Shisui informed me as I heard him making phone call. Shisui ran a successful line of hotels all over the country and he was always travelling places for business, so I definitely can't stay with him.

I thought of texting Naruto then and asking him to come meet me but then again, my surprise would be spoiled. Oh yes. Did I not mention that Naruto was unaware of my arrival? I can't wait to see the priceless expression on his face.

As we parked in the front of Ritz Carlton, I decided to freshen up quickly and then drive to Naruto's workplace. He was a successful VJ in the radio station and I already know the address of where he was working.

It was an hour later when I found myself standing in the front of the Konoha radio station. It was one of the best radio stations of Japan and I could definitely tell that with the size of the building. I pulled my sunglasses as I got into the building, all the while smirking. I was dressed in simple white undershirt and blue jacket along with rugged jeans and sneakers. Business suit was a big give away so I decided to dress casual for our meeting.

"How can I help you sir?"

I smirked as the receptionist flushed red when she glanced at me. I took advantage of my magnetic personality as I leaned forward on the counter.

"I am here to meet Naruto Uzumaki."

I told her in my husky baritone voice as she shuddered visibly before stammering.

"Umm.. Do..Do y..you have a prior app..appointment?"

I shook my head negatively as I rolled the sleeve of my jacket.

"I was hoping that it won't be a big problem. You see…I have travelled a long distance."

I dropped few decibels at the end as she rubbed her sweaty forehead. Damn. It has been a long long time since I did this.

"Just a moment sir."

She mumbled as she made a phone call and I waited with my arms crossed.

"Excuse me sir, what is your name?"

My lips quirked upward as I opened my mouth.

Naruto's Pov

I hated being disturbed in the middle of my lunch. On normal days, I only got two hours break but thankfully I was only staying till three in the studio today. I still can't believe I am getting married tomorrow. I glanced lovingly at the frame of Hinata on my desk before a small tap was heard on my door.

I was quite shocked when the receptionist told me that Neji Hyuga wanted to meet me. I mean, he had never visited me once in my workplace. Everybody else have frequented one too many times here, sometimes even in the middle of my show and they loved it. I gulped as I thought of the only possibility of Neji's visit. He was going to give me a talk, being the brother of Hinata. Even though they were cousins, he was always protective of her and treated her as his own sister.

"Door is opened."

I yelled and tried to calm my raging nerves as the glass door slid open. But instead of glancing into the pair of lavender eyes I found myself looking into dark ones. Why was Neji wearing contact lens?

"Cat got your tongue? Dobe."

Dobe...Dobe..

Dobe…..

DOBE!

Oh no. Oh Fuck. This isn't Neji Hyuga.

"Sasuke…"

I whispered as he lifted his baseball hat and I took a good glance at his face. Yup. It was definitely Teme. He has buffed up a little and his hairs were longer, tied in a short ponytail behind. But it was definitely him.

"What? H..how? Wh..when?"

I stuttered as he smirked at me and sat on the opposite chair.

"Can't I surprise my best friend?"

In any other situation, I would have probably been touched if he addressed me as his best friend but now. Now I was speechless. I was sure that my eyes were popping out of my socket. This was bad. Really bad. Sasuke was supposed to be in America. I was pretty sure he wasn't going to show up for my wedding. But here he was. In flesh and blood.

The consequences of the decision we took five years back was dancing in front of my eyes. Oh No. Sakura. Sarada. He fucking doesn't know he have a daughter. What would he do if he found out? Tomorrow Sakura and Sarada both would be present for my wedding.

What is gonna happen?

Sasuke was staring at me strangely, probably wondering why I was hyperventilating.

Damn! My eyes. I was seeing black spots in front. Before I could figure out what was happening, I felt my legs give up as darkness surrounded me.

Don't worry, He isn't dead. Naruto just fainted after seeing Sasuke. If he reacted that badly, wonder what Sakura's reaction will be?

Ahem…I hope you liked the chapter.

Please read and review.
