So sorry for the delay!

I was busy with college applications

and my Dentist.

Now now scroll down and start reading.

Sasuke and Sakura reached Sasuke's house. They got out of the car and made their way inside the house. Sakura was mad at Sasuke. Plus tired too. Sasuke glanced at her frustrated face and sighed. After a few mins they were inside this room. Sakura lieing on his bed carelessly. Sasuke wondered how she made herself so comfortable on someone else's bed. She only knew him for a day. And seemed to behave like they knew each other for a life time.

Sakura was mad that Sasuke had made such a bold declaration in front of his parents. In her opinion his mother was a crazy lady while his father was some what not like-able! She was mad at herself. She had actually pictured her and Sasuke sleeping together and what was worse was she knew him only for a day and she had developed a secret crush on him. Dammit! Now she knows how and why other girls also developed such a huge crush on him. He was freaking hot. Like a Greek god! In all his sexiness! Every thing about him was to die for. The calm mysterious brooding attitude made him even more desirable. Like his god-like looks weren't enough. She then sighed. She didn't know what she felt towards him. She decided it was too early to name her feelings. She was then wondering why Sasuke would choose to be an ANBU while he was the heir to the Uchiha corp. It is a world renowned corp. People die to work there. Why did he chose not to take over the company? She then thought about AMI. This now ticked her off for some reason. She wanted to know who she was. She turned towards her left only to see Sasuke working on his Apple laptop. She walked up to him. Pulled a chair next to him and sat down. Sasuke just nodded at her as if acknowledging her.

"So why would you become an ANBU? When you could've become the CEO?" Sakura asked staring at him. He still was working on his laptop not spearing a glance at her.

"I wanted to be a detective since childhood." Sasuke answered vaguely. Sakura just stared at him. She got the hint that she won't get any further explanations.

"Did your father not get mad at you for not taking over the company?" She asked hesitantly. She didn't want to get too nosy in his business. After all it had been 24 hours plus since they became something like friends. Dare she say it.

"..."

She got no answer. Sasuke wasn't really paying attention to her. He was doing a background check on Wagarashi's son. He hadn't listened to her question completely. So he chose not to answer. He honestly didn't know why he was being talkative with her. Why go out of character when she was around. He didn't know. He thought he should find out why. But right now he had bigger things to attend to. He had got heads up on Wagarashi's son. His name was Tori. He was 25. Alcoholic. Usually had one night stands. Hired girls to entertain him. Even at his chamber at his father's company office. Had nothing good in him. Now he realized something. He now could relate to what he saw that night. He clearly understood everything now. All he needed was information on Orochimaru and Kabuto. He then took a glance at Sakura and turned back to his computer.

"Who's Ami?" Sakura decided to find out about this girl that was like a thorn on her side. She didn't know if she was pretty. She didn't know if she was close to the Uchihas. She needed so many answers. And she was determined to get them. She was wondering what Sasuke was working on, on his computer.

"Dad's business partner's daughter." Sasuke said as he closed the laptop and leaned back on his chair.

"Why would your dad want you to marry her?" Sakura questioned in an irritated manner.

"Mostly because of business reasons." Sasuke answered, closing his eyes.

"Oh" She didn't know what to ask next. She wanted to know everything about him. She didn't know why. Maybe because she was being friends with someone after a long time. Sasuke took this chance to speak next.

"Are you always this annoying? Asking people everything that there is to them?"

Sakura was taken aback from his sudden question. She didn't know how to answer. She was twirling with her top.

"No! I mean you did mention about Ami at the hospital. So I was just wondering" Sakura was now looking at the floor. Sasuke noticed the hesitation in her voice.

"She is someone who is obsessed over me just like any other girl out there. Spoilt bitch. Thinks she can get whatever the fuck she wants. Lives on make-up" Sasuke stated.

"No wonder you don't wanna marry her. Now mister why the hell would you lie to your mother? You could have used someone's name but mine. " Sakura tired to be angry while she spoke.

"Mom said I had to get married to that slut if I didn't show her who my pregnant girlfriend was. At that time you were the only woman in that room so I decided to make you a part of my lie" Sasuke explained.

"You do know that she wants grandkids from us!" Sakura spat. Even though she was physically attracted to Sasuke that doesn't mean she was ready to get pregnant that too for the sake of his mother.

"I know. We can always say we don't have time for kids right now. We will definitely try when we are free." Sasuke stated.

"WTH! Dude! You are talking like I'm your wife and we are a bit late in starting our own family! I am telling you I am in no way going to be pregnant for the sake of your crazy old lady!" Sakura was screaming in his face. He still didn't know how her mood changed so quickly.

"Relax. All you need to do is pretend. Just show up at a few events I attend and talk casually. That's all. " Sasuke spoke like it was no big deal.

"Fine." Sakura grumbled. She was inwardly going crazy. Being called the girlfriend of a hot ass man was like a dream come true. She was glaring at the floor and trying hard to stop herself from blushing. She wasn't in love or anything. But just like any other girl she was attracted to him. And she managed to hold her ground around him. She was in her own train of thoughts.

"Sakura! Is there anything you want to tell me?" Sasuke asked, breaking her out of her thoughts. Sakura grinned sheepishly at him.

"No. Why?" Sakura asked shyly. She thought he was asking about her train of thoughts. She smacked herself mentally. She decided to be on guard around him. She didn't want him to think of her as another annoying fan girl. In reality Sasuke had meant something entirely different.

Stupid naive woman! I'm asking about that night. I don't know how long you are going to act like you don't know what happened that rainy night. The faster you speak up the better it is. I can close this case sooner and get a move on with other aspects of my life. One aspect I haven't dealt with in years. I'll ask you some other time I guess!

"Nothing, You hungry? We'll order some food. " Sasuke stated his opinion.

"Yea. I am. We can have Chinese. I haven't had that in a long time. If that's okay with you." Sakura spoke warily.

"Alright. I'll order." Sasuke dialed the number of that particular Chinese restaurant near his place and ordered the food of their choice. They had to wait for 30 minutes. Sakura decided to hop back on the bed. She laid on the bed. Facing the ceiling. Sasuke followed. They were laying next to each other. Sasuke decided to break the silence.

"Ever had a love history?" Sasuke asked, closing his eyes.

"No. You?" Now Sakura was closing her eyes too.

"No. Any siblings?" They started playing twenty questions.

"None. What about you?"

"An older annoying brother. Itachi. Manages the overseas branches of the company. Hardly is here in Tokyo."

"It must be nice to have some one to look after you I guess"

"It is, He is like the older brother everyone would want to have. How does it feel to grow up all alone?"

"Its lonely. You really won't have anyone who would greet you home, no one will be waiting for you. No one to lean on to when you need support emotionally and physically. Its you against the world. What about your friends?"

"They are all annoying. But the best anyone can have. Always the supportive ones! Never will leave at the hour of need. I have the best of memories with them. What do you remember about your parents?"

"Not much. Just my mom. How caring she was. And I guess I remember her crying at nights. Not very pleasant ones. It must be nice to have a family right?" Sakura's voice was low. She was trying so hard not to cry. She knew what loneliness was. How she had no one to turn to. No friends. No family. She knows how hard her life was. To make it this far she knows how much she had to struggle. She had to work to make money and study at the same time. She had not a bit of rest back in those days.

"Its always nice to have a family. How would you make it this far? Did someone support you?"

"Well Tsunade did. But I couldn't depend on her for everything. So I had to work late in the night and make money. Study during the day. It was rough, I have seen the worst life can offer. Its not a nice feeling."

"What about friends?"

"I didn't have any. No one ever spoke to me cuz I wasn't rich like them nor did I have parents. Most of them treated me like I was some freak. Not that it washes away today just because I am doctor. My past still rubs me in the face. Some of them come over for a check up and you know talk mockingly or insultingly." Sakura sighed.

"Life is still hard eh?" Sasuke asked. He was wondering how someone so fragile had withstood the test of time. He couldn't even imagine how hard it must have been for her. He suddenly had the urge to protect her from everything. Make her feel happy. He didn't know why.

"I wouldn't say life is the same as it was back then. I will say it is much less harder. Not that it is easy now. Just less hard." Sakura sighed.

"Hn"

"So you must have had a comfortable life. I guess"

"Aa. I didn't have to struggle. Everything was at my feet. But that didn't mean I would take it for granted. I worked hard to be at the top. To get here. Easier than yours. Why would you feel so comfortable around me? Letting your guard down?" Sasuke now was staring at the fan that was spinning.

"I don't have an answer to it right now. But I will answer eventually. Whatever this connection I am making with you, its nice. Like I have someone who I can connect with. I know I went straight ahead and called you my friend. I don't know if you consider me a friend. But I do. I'm sorry if you don't think the same way." Sakura sounded very sincere.

"We'll call ourselves friends. That's okay with me." Sasuke assured that he did consider her a friend too.

"Why be nice to me? I have heard that you are never nice to anyone apart from your friends." Sakura asked him.

"I don't have an answer to it right now. I feel like I can talk whats on my mind when you are around. I get so out of character when you are around. I'll find out why." Sasuke answered.

"Guess we don't have answers. Don't you think everything's going a bit too fast?"

"Aa. Guess it is suppose to. We don't have control over what's happening. It just happens. We need to sit and go along with the flow"

"I guess so. I just hope this is going in some right direction." Sakura hoped that she could make him stay in her life for a very long time. Well she didn't know what destiny had in store for her. So she was kinda scared to hope.

"I want you to relax. We'll get to the end someday. Its just a matter of time." Sasuke sighed and went back to close his eyes. He had to wait. He didn't know what was happening with him. He needed answers. One thing was sure. He was attracted to her physically.

Soon the door bell rang. Sasuke stood up and started walking out of the room.

"I will go get it. You want me to get the food up here?" He asked her.

"It would be nice if you got it up. I am tired." Sakura spoke. But she was really not here. Tiredness was taking over her.

"Hn" With that Sasuke left to get their food up to his room. Sakura laid there in silence. That was until she got a text message. She decided to check who it was from. She was hoping that it wasn't from work. She saw the message and for the next few mins she felt like she just went dead. The message was:

I know what you did that night! You are in trouble.

You think you can escape? Don't even dream about it.

By now you know who's handling the shit.

There is no way you'll get out of this.

Say goodbye to your pretty comfortable life.

You should've minded your own business that night.

Well you were you. Being the nosy bitch you were

you had to come over and act hero!

Now see where its got you.

Anyway! Have fun while it lasts!

I'll meet you soon in that horrible place.

So long.

Sakura's heart was racing. Her hands trembling. She didn't know what to do. Should she ask for help? What if she got screwed for asking for help? What if she ran away now? Well no. She couldn't. It was too late. She didn't want to end up in a dark place. Not now. Life was now actually smiling at her. She couldn't just let her life go down the drains because of that bastard. She needed to do something. Very quick. She didn't know what though. She needed to find a way. She didn't want her life to end up bad. Not after Sasuke came into her life. She decided to dwell on it later. For now she would eat and rest. She really needed it. He brain was dead for the day. She closed her phone and stuck it back in her pocket and sat up. Soon she saw Sasuke walking through the door with a huge tray that contained two plates of delicious looking food. Her mouth started watering.

"The food looks delicious" Sakura commented.

"Hn" Sasuke was now laying down the plates on the bed. It took him two minutes to arrange everything. After arranging he sat down on the bed. They started eating the food.

"We can't go out and eat today. I'll take you out some other time" Sasuke stated in monotone.

"Why is that?" Sakura was snapping. She was actually looking forward to going out that evening.

"Friends are coming over. You could meet them." Sasuke said warily. His concentration was on the tomato.

"Oh! That would be nice! I always liked meeting new people!" Sakura spoke excitedly. Sasuke wondered if she had escaped from some mental care.

"So how many of them are coming?" Sakura asked enthusiastically. Sasuke sweat dropped. He was wondering where her fatigue went.

"The entire gang."

"Name them and tell me a bit of each of them. It won't be awkward when I meet them" Sakura said, looking happily at Sasuke.

"Uzumaki Naruto. Loudmouthed knucklehead. Best friend."

"Hyuuga Neji. Long haired fate obsessed dude"

"Nara Shikamaru. Lazy ass genius"

"Rock Lee. Thick eyebrows"

"Aburame Shino. Bug freak"

"Akamichi Chouji. Food freak"

"Inuzuka Kiba. Unhygienic dog bastard. "

"Yamanaka Ino. Shikamaru's girl. Flirt."

"Hyuuga Hinata. Neji's cousin. Naruto's girl. Shy female"

"Wasabi Tenten. Neji's girl. Freak"

"Wow! You have a nice way to describe your friends!" Sakura spoke sarcastically.

"That's how they are. Basically they are all annoying. " Sasuke said dryly.

"Sheesh! Does it hurt to be nice to people once in a while?" Sakura asked .

"Hn."

"Fine. Mister Grumpy kins." Sakura spat. Sasuke scowled.

"Well what time are they coming here?" Sakura ignored his scowl.

"Around 6:30. Why?" They were almost done with their food.

"I will sleep. Wake me up around 5:30. Its 2:00 now. You don't mind me sleeping ?" Sakura asked hopefully. Sasuke glared at her.

"If I wasn't okay I wouldn't have brought you here. And its not like you to ask permission. You are already on my bed. Does it make a difference if I said no?" Sasuke asked. Raising a fine eyebrow.

"No. I would have slept either way. If you don't mind take my plate too. Thanks for the lunch. I'm off" With that Sakura hit the pillow and she was dead to this world.

Sasuke picked up the plates. He was wondering why he was taking orders from her. Why he was being nice to her. He sighed. He just couldn't find an answer to those questions. He just proceeded to clean up the place. After a few mins he was done cleaning. He decided to sleep for a while. He laid on the bed. Then he saw the outline of Sakura's phone in her jeans pocket. He decided to take quick look into her phone. By the looks of it she was too fast asleep. So he decided to see her phone. Get any info he could.

Its a short chapter.

I'm really sorry. Its 1:21 am and I am very tired.

Plus sleepy. I promise that the next one will be a long chapter.

I will definitely update if you guys review,

I am not happy with reviews.

So if you wanna know what happens next then R&R.

Girlalicious said that the dialogues were childish. And Sasuke was out of character.

Girlalicious -You should realize that Sasuke is acting out of character only around Sakura. He is actually feeling things he never felt before. You are yet to find out how he behaves like his cold self when he is around people. You will find out as the story goes on. I apologize if you found it stupid.

blaH: I am sorry for keeping you waiting. Thank you for all the support you've given so far! Love you!
