"So do we have a deal Mr. Hyuuga?" The raven haired man asked after standing up and putting out his hand.

"Yes I believe we do Mr. Uchiha," The white eyed man soon followed and shook the offered hand. "Please don't make me regret it."

"Don't worry, this deal will be extremely beneficial to both our company's." Sasuke gave him a reassuring smile. Neji relaxed. He could see why people were always saying how they wanted to do business with the Uchiha. He was easy to deal and comprise with.

They released their hands and gathered up their things.

"I was pleased doing business with you Mr. Uchiha," Neji stated as they made their way out of the conference room. "I hope that we will be able to do it again in the near future."

"As I, Mr. Hyuuga." Sasuke replied.

They said their farewells and went their separate ways. Another deal accomplished. Sasuke gave himself a small mentally pat on the back. It was turning out to be a very good day for him. Suddenly his mental pat turned into was a real one.

"Good work Sasuke! Tsunade is going to be content with your work." Sasuke turned to the scarfed man beside him. "You really reeled it in this time."

"It's not that big of a deal." Liar. Even Sasuke knew that he was being too modest, but he didn't want to come off cocky.

"Don't let it slide so easily." Suddenly 'Get Silly' by V.I.C. started playing from Kakashi's pocket. He reached for it and flipped open his cell phone. "Hello…yeah, in fact his with me right now…sure I'll send right up. Bye." Kakashi shut the phone and looked at Sasuke. From the upward expression of his eye you could tell he was smiling. "Tsunade wants to see you."

Sasuke nodded and said a quick thank you before leaving toward the elevators. It wasn't unnatural for somebody to call Kakashi and leave a message for him. He didn't have a cell phone. He pressed the up button. It's not like he doesn't want one it's just that so many non-client girls got a hold of his number(no matter how many times he switched it)that he just gave up. The doors opened, he stepped though and pressed button 34. Top floor.

"Hold the door!"

Sighing Sasuke stuck his arm in the doorway so his flustered, pink haired secretary could make her way to the elevator. Her arms were full of paperwork that would probably end up on his on his desk later. She stepped though the doorway.

"What floor?"

She looked up and smiled,"30."

He pressed the button. Thirty was their floor of course, and Haruno Sakura was his secretary. As the doors shut and they began to elevate upward.

Sasuke remembered how Sakura used to have a HUGE crush on him. She would him cookies and cakes. She would wait till his shift was over, so she could walk to the parking garage with him. She would roll over and bark, if he really wanted her too. He had to sit her down and tell her it wouldn't work between them. She was upset at first but then she found someone else (some Rock Lee down at the local dojo) and they were friends now. Close friends even.

"So…how'd it go?"

Sasuke, broken from his thoughts, blinked a few times, registering what she had said.

"It went well. We came to an agreement and we should be seeing positive results in less than a month."

"That's great! Tsunade's wanted this for a while so she'll be pretty happy to hear." Sakura smiled. She was happy for her friend and could tell that he was secretly pretty happy with himself too.

"Yeah, in fact I'm going up to see her right now."

Ding, the doors opened. "Well, don't have too much fun." She gave him one last smile before she quickly went though the shutting doors. They shut and he was soon elevating upward again to the 34th floor. He noted how truly annoying the elevator music was, and made a mentally note to get somebody to change it.

Ding, the doors opened and he stepped out. Sasuke was familiar with the floor. He spent almost as much time up here as he did in his own office. He turned and went down the hallway, made another turn and kept going till he reached a pig decorated desk.

"Hello Shizune, you look very nice today."

The young woman looked up from her computer and smiled. "Always the charmer aren't you Sasuke-san." Still smiling she turned toward an intercom and pressed a button.

"Tsunade-sama, Uchiha Sasuke is here shall I buzz him in?"

A few moments past in silence before a familiar static voice replied back. "Send him in."

"Go right ahead Sasuke-san."

"Thank you Shizune," He said as he went through the doorway, leaving the secretary to turn back to her computer.

If you were a newcomer to Tsunade's office, it would be very easy to become intimidated just the sheer size of the office was enough to send your knees shaking. It took up most of the 34th floor. If that wasn't enough Tsunade was a piece of work herself. It wasn't that she was a bad president, in fact she ran the company very well. It was just that when she got angry…well let's just say Shizune had the local repairmen on speed dial. If you came often like Sasuke though, it was actually a pretty nice change from the stuffy conferences rooms.

"You wanted to see me, Tsunade-sama."

A long blonde haired woman looked up from her desk. "Yes, please come and have a seat, Sasuke."

Sasuke made his way through the office and sat down in his usually chair facing Tsunade's desk. He couldn't help grow a little bit curious of what she wanted.

Tsunade turned to her best employee and folded her fingers together, which was her way of saying that she was giving full attention and demanded full attention back. "Sasuke, you are no doubt one of the best employees here and without you this company would probably not be where it is today."

"Thank you Tsunade-sama, I appreciate that. I always try to give a hundred percent into what I do." Okay that was pretty standard, but what was she getting at? Sasuke could feel his exciment growing with anticipation. He had a guess at what she might say next, but he wasn't completely sure. He remained calm.

"Yes and that's exactly why I'm doing this." She paused and looked at his face. He seemed calm as always. She continued, "I would like to offer you a promotion, that would not only double your current salary, but bump your floor all the way up to the 33rd floor. You would also help assist in big corporal decisions, along with the rest of the board…Sasuke are you okay?"

He couldn't believe it. Wait…yes he could, but still. He could feel his excitement start to take over and he allowed a small, victory smile to show.

"Thank you Tsunade-sama. I'm not sure what to say."

"You could say yes."

"Yes, of course! When do I begin?"

Tsunade smiled, uncrossed her fingers, and leaned back in her chair. She knew Sasuke would accept the offer, but seeing him so excited about it…it was like an extra bonus. "You can begin next Monday. In fact take the rest of day off. You're going to need all the rest you can get."

Sasuke quickly regained his composure, he needed to calm down and act professionally. He stood up and put out his hand, which Tsunade took. "Thank you again Tsunade-sama. You won't be sorry."

"I don't plan to be."

They released hands and Sasuke turned to leave.

"By the way Sasuke, how did deal with the Hyuuga Cooperation go?"

He turned back and smirked. "We should be seeing results in less than a month."

Tsunade grinned. "Of course, I should of known. Good work Sasuke."

Sasuke made his way across the room, which seemed to be brighter than when he first came in, probably because of Tsunade's full ceiling sun roof. He quickly passed though the doorway and shut the door behind him, only to find a dark-haired secretary smiling knowingly at him.

"You knew before I did, didn't you."

"There are very few things I don't know Sasuke-san."

He smirked and started making his way toward the elevators. This was turning out to be a very good day. A very good day indeed…
