Disclaimer; Everyone wanted a happy ending! And I was so hoping for the sad ending! But oh well. The happy ending seems like the best choice anyway. C: Let's see how the second chapter goes?

"So, I'm thinking, you know, when we get married you could buy this giant house and it could have a pool and-" Sasuke's date, Karin, has talked nonstop about their future. even though he met her at a Starbucks last week. Weren't Starbucks girls suppose to be journalists, and nice and sweet? Sasuke just figured he had bad luck with the female species.
It had been a month since he saw Sakura. He still worked his regular duties, and regular hours. But she had been put into segregation the day after she told him her name. She had fought against another officer. For what he didn't know. Asuma said soon after that she just 'freaks out' sometimes. Freak out about what, he wondered?
"Excuse me?" Karin's voice interrupted his thoughts. "I have been talking this whole tim- Where are you going?" Sasuke had stood from his resteraunt table, set down a hundred dollar bill, and began to walk away. "Sasuke-Kun! Where are you going!" Karin's voice was loud and high pitched. Sasuke paused, and turned his head to look at her.
"I'm done. Don't call me. Ever." Sasuke turned around, and walked out the resteraunt doors. Karin fumed as she stomped her foot.

Sasuke walked down the busy streets of Konoha city, hands shoved in his black pants. Why was it he was cursed with such bad luck with women? Why did they all want money? Does it just come with the package or is every girl in this city a gold digger? He was an Uchiha, so of course he was rich. Why did he work as a prison officer? Simple.
He didnt know himself.
But that didn't stop him. His great grandfather worked in a prison. Sasuke supposed that was why he was drawn to it. His father called him foolish, and called his great grandfather a looney. But Sasuke ignored the comments. Though he wasnt a business man like his father, or his brother, he managed. Speaking of which,
He was standing outside his parents large home.
"How the hell did I end up here?" He muttered to himself. "Maybe I can get away before-"
"Sasuke-Chan!" Sasuke's mother, Mikoto, had walked out onto the porch with a very large smile as she waved him over.
"Damn." Sasuke cursed.

"Sasuke-Chan I was so suprised when I saw you outside. You know Itachi-Chan's here too. But he's discussing business with your father." Mikoto spoke as she made tea on the stove. "So how's that job of yours? Nothing bad has happened right? Have you found yourself a girlfriend? Will I have grandchildren?" Mikoto looked at Sasuke with hopeful eyes as he twitched.
"Shouldn't you be asking Aniki about that?" Sasuke said as he avoided her gaze. Mikoto deep sighed.
"Honestly Sasuke-Chan I think my boy's gay. It's a tragedy for a mother... But if you cou-"
"I am not gay, Oka-san." Itachi walked in with a suit and a tie and his usual stoic expression.
"Hmm? Gay? Itachi-Chan I would never accuse my son of such a thing! How dare you! I am just kind old woman, waiting for her grandbabies." Mikoto pretended to wipe a tear from her eye. Itachi and Sasuke sweatdropped.
"Mikoto, what are you speaking of now?" Fugaku walked in, an emotionless Uchiha trademark expression on his face.
"Hmmm? I'm speaking of Sasuke-Chan's job, right Sasuke-Chan?" Mikoto smiled sweetly at her son.
"Liar." The three men said in unison. Mikoto glared, pointing a knife at them.
"That is no way to speak to a lady." She warned. The three sweatdropped.
"Now dear, We've spoken about you threatening your family. It's not good for the health." Fugaku grabbed the knife from her as he set it down on the counter. "Who would like dinner now?"
Sasuke sometimes worried about his family, and how they've managed to own a corporation for so long. But he shrugged, walking in the direction of the dinner table.

The family of four sat at a small dinner table. No, not a large one like most rich families. The Uchiha's were a traditional family. No matter how much money they had, they wouldn't spend it all on unnecessary things. Mikoto took family more seriously than Fugaku. Well, she took it more seriously in an emotional way. Fugaku took it seriously in the sense that, he needed to teach someone business too. And though that someone is Itachi, Sasuke was just fine with that.
But Sasuke did wonder, how much closer would he be to his father, if he was the heir? Then again, is being closer to him better? Unlike his father, even if it didnt show much, he did have more emotions. The only signs other than stoic Sasuke had ever seen, were disappointment, bottled anger, and pride. Pride in his son. Oh yes, just son. Itachi was his prize winner. Sasuke knew he'd never amount to anything like itachi. What else he knew? That he didnt care.
All his life he had been second best. The shadow of Itachi. The only one who acknowledged the things he did was his mother. But sometimes he wondered if she really did care, or she was just expected to. He wouldn't put much more thought into it.
"Sasuke-Chan. How is your new job going?" Mikoto said as she took a bite out of her grilled fish meal. Sasuke swallowed what was in his mouth.
"It's fine, Oka-San." He replied, glancing at his brother he looked back down to his food.
"You told me it was the Women's prison. I hope you havent decided to fall for some huzzy." Mikoto said darkly. Sasuke choked.
"I didn't know Sasuke worked in a women's prison. How, unusual." Sasuke glared at Itachi who smirked.
"It was the only opening, Aniki." Sasuke replied, picking up his drink.
"Aa." Itachi responded, ending their small talk. Sasuke and Itachi didn't get along well. Why? Because Itachi was so damn annoying. In Sasuke's opinion anyway. Perhaps it was just sibling rivalry. Whatever it was, Sasuke still thought his brother was as irritating as ever.

"Sasuke-Chan! Stay! I haven't seen you in so long!" Mikoto stood in front of her front door. Blocking it from Sasuke, who sweatdropped.
"I made plans with Naruto, Oka-San." Sasuke replied dully as he put his hand in his pockets.
"Invite Naruto-Kun ov-"
"No." Sasuke said firmly.
"And why not?" Mikoto's hands were on her hips.
"Because I will not subject him to your tortue again, Oka-San."
"He agreed to the make over!" Mikoto huffeed.
"You bribed him with ramen."
"It's just so hard for a mother of sons. Maybe if I had grandbabies-"
"Goodbye Oka-Sa-"
"Sasuke Uchiha if you don't sit down on that couch I will take the life I gave you many years ago, right. Now." Mikoto threatened darkly. Sasuke swallowed. Though he was strong and usually fearless, there was one person he was frightened of.
His mother.

It was the next day at Konoha Women's prison and Sasuke was as talkative as usual. His mother had worn him out from her constant rambling and wanting him to play board and trivia games. He walked down the halls of the first floor with an emotionless face.
"You're Sasuke Uchiha?" Sasuke looked at the person in front of him. He had short white hair and purple colord eyes. He wore the police uniform that had a name tag on the right side of his chest saying "Suigetsu". Sasuke nodded.
"I've heard a lot about you." He grinned. "I'm Suigetsu." He extended his hand.
"You know my name." Sasuke said monotone as he shook the man's hand. Suigetsu chuckled.
"Everyone in the penitentiary knows who you are. There's hasn't been a new guy in a long time. Nobody likes prisons. But anyway, if you need anything, let me know." Suigetsu sent a wave and walked down the hall. Sasuke watched him.
That guy didn't give him a good feeling at all.

"Uchiha." A tall blond woman walked up to the man who stood on the second floor. Sasuke turned to look at her.
"Tsunade-San." He responded. "It's a suprise to see you out here." He said with little emotion.
"Yeah well I finally got a break from all the damn paperwork. I'll be happier when I can go home and have a drink." She muttered, crossing her arms and looking over the railing.
"Hn."
"You're a quiet man." Tsunade stated. "It's kind of irritating." She said, glancing at him and back to the first floor. Sasuke smirked slightly, but didn't say anything.
"This place is hard to manage." She said as she sighed. Sasuke rose a brow.
"Why do you work as the Warden?" Sasuke questioned, hands in his pocket.
"Did you ever take Konoha history?" Tsunade looked at him with a slight frown and a rose brow. Turning her head away she looked up. "My Grandfather, Hashirama Senju, was the founder of Konoha's men and women prison. I inherited the prison from my father, who inherited it from him."
"Aa. When do you plan to give it to your child?" Sasuke asked. Though he didn't usually talk much, this was still his boss. He wouldn't be rude to the woman who gave him his job.
"I don't have children." Tsunade stated. "I have the inability to have them." Sasuke froze slightly. "Not that I care. When the time comes I'll figure out who I give this prison to. But for now Im foing to work until its too late."
There was a long silence.
"Tsunade-San! I've been looking all over you! You have papaerwork to finish!" A woman ran up. Tsunade sighed.
"I'm coming Shizune." Tsunade waved her hand. "Uchiha. Don't let your guard donw here. They may be women, but don't forget what they did to get here. Tsunade said as she looked at him. After he nodded slowly she turned and walked off down the stairs and down the hall.
Tsunade was right, he couldn't let his guard down.

Sasuke stood in the main area where it was the womens free time. some women were sitting in their seats at their tables playing card games or talking. Others were standing or walking around. Sasuke glanced to his left and saw pink. He turned his head and there was Sakura sitting in the corner. Her arms wrapped around her legs as she rested her chin on her knees. She was watching the other girls dully.
Sasuke strolled up next to her. She looked up, still looking blankly at him.
"Sasuke." He said to her, standing and looking ahead. She stared at him, cocking her head to the side as he looked at her. "It's my name." the edge of his mouth twitched slightly. They shared a gaze and then he saw it. She smiled slightly. It didn't last long. A whistle blew, signaling the free time was over. She stood.
"I know." She said quietly. Walking past him she touched his chest with one finger and walked to her cell. Sasuke looked down at where she touched.
She had touched his name tag. He looked up to her gone. She was already in her cell.
He looked down and exhaled with small smirk.
Just what was wrong with him?
