(A:N/ I have realized that I changed Yumis name from Ami to Yumi. I am really sorry about that. Also, as you may have noticed I posted this chapter a lot earlier then normal. That's because in less then48 hours I will be getting on a plane headed back to my home state. So once I get back I wont have time to update. Sorry that it's so short.)
"You know how much I hate you right?" asked a raspy voice.
"Aw. Now is that any way to talk? I mean just because I kicked your ass at your own game? You don't need to be so cross." Came a very pleased and very smug reply.
Just as the other was about to respond the two were called down to dinner.
"Sasuke. Sakura! Please hurry! Dinners getting cold." Mikoto shouted to the youngest heir and heiress.
"We're coming!" Sakura shouted.
The two raced down the stairs. They ran right passed Itachi who only saw a flash of pink and then a black chicken right afterwards.
As the two sat down patting heavily and glaring at each other, Mikoto smiled at her egotistical son and patted Yumis head as she passed by. Yumi glared up at her, but caught her self before any one else did.
"Hello Itachi-Kun!" She stood so fast from her seat to great him that the chair fell the ground with a clatter. He looked at her plastic smile and sighed.
"Everyone sit down and calm down!" Lady Uchiha shouted. Everyone shut up and sunk down in their seats as she walked by them to reach her seat at the other end off the table.
"Mom, where's dad?" Sasuke asked as he poured his soda into a cup of ice.
"He'll be down shortly. He finishing some business in his study." Mikoto answered while re-jousting a vase of flowers in front of her.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I was attending to some business. Whats for dinner my dear?" He asked as he sat down and smiled at each of his guest. Well, when he got to Yumi is was more of a grimace.
"Uchiha-San. Sasuke-Kun said you have some sort of news to tell everyone. May I be so bold as to ask you what it is?" Sakura said trying to sound as respectable as possible.
"Oh! I know! You are going to buy me and Itachi-Kun our own mansion with a pool and 10 car garage!" Yumi shouted, again standing up from her seat making it fall the floor for a second time.
"No Yumi," he said exasperated, " My mother, Lady Uchiha Yuri, will be staying with us for the next three months while her home is reinvented."
"Aw. That's super cool! Sasuke-Kun you should have told me! Grandmas are so awesome!" Sakura shout while pumping her fist in the air. Suzuko, who was used to this behavior, would be willing to swear on oath that everyone in the room had a sweat drop on there heads.
"Uchiha-San? When will she be here." Before he had a chance to answer, the door was through open. Startled, Yumi had fallen from here seat and landed hard on the floor.
"Fukugo! Where are you!" Everyone turned to face the self proclaimed "Lord of the Manner". What they saw amused them. Uchiha-San looked as if her were a young boy about to be scolded for entering his parents bedroom un-invited.
"Mother! You aren't supposed to be here till eight o'clock." Sasuke watched with interest, as his father seemed to become meek and timid. This is something that neither himself not Itachi would ever forget.
"Nonsense! Of course I would come early! I couldn't wait to see my only son!" She responded while she grabbed his check and smiled turning his face side to side. She then turned to Mikoto who stood up and bowed gracefully and stiffly while greeting her mother-in-law.
"It's a pleasure to have you with us Yuri-San." The elder Lady Uchiha smirked at her daughter-in-law and returned the gesture with a bow just as stiff. "Thank-you. It looks like you need my help to keep this place running. Theres dust everywhere. Maybe you should let me hire some decent servants." Itachi and Sasuke looked at each other, both worried about their mother's mental status. She and their grandmother had never gotten along.
"Well, Yuri-San, maybe its just that I'm so busy raising me own 2 boys and 2 girls who are like my own. I'm just sooo busy raising a house full of children." Everyone in the room went silent. Yuri had always wanted a house full of children but wasn't able to get it.
"Hm. Maybe you just aren't that cable and need help." Mikoto opened her mouth to respond when she was cut off.
"Well Grandma its nice to see you too." Itachi said whilst he rose smoothly from his chair and hugged his grandmother.
"Oh my boys," She reached over and pulled Sasuke out of his chair with incredible strength to hug him. "My you boys feel so thin." She said. As she was about to start bantering Mikoto about taking better care of her grandchildren she stopped.
Sakura shivered under the old woman's scrutinizing gaze. She wanted desperately to look away but couldn't. The woman's cold, wise eyes held her in place.
"Child," she flinched at how cold her voice was, " What is your name child?"
"My name is Haruno Sakura." Sakura slowly stood and bowed to her. Grateful that the action gave her a reason to look away. "Ah. And you." She turned to Suzuko, who was startled when she was looked at. But wasn't as effective by her set in stone eyes, or hard voice as Sakura was. She grew up with Uchiha Fukugo! She could handle his mother.
"I am Haruno Suzuko. I'm Sakuras older sister. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Yes. Yes it's a pleasure meeting you as well." Sakura took time to really observe her now. She was old yes, but you could see that she was a very beautiful young woman once. Well she still was. She had wise gray-blue eyes, long black hair tied in to a bun at the nape of her neck. She had many lines on her face, probaly from years of laughing. All in all she was very lovely. "Child whats wrong with you?" Sakura snapped to attention to see Lady Uchiha watching her with her scrutinizing eyes.
"Oh! I'm fine. Forgive me for staring. I was just admiring you." Sakura admitted shyly.
Uchiha Yuri liked this child. She reminded her so much of, well that's not important. She following Sakuras lead observed the Haruno girls. She noticed there were many differences between them. Sakura remained her of a porcolin doll. She was pale and looked very fragile. But in her eyes you could see strength and determination. She also was curios about the Saukra colored hair. This girl's mother did well. But, Suzuko was very different. She was very tan with a lanky body. In her eyes you saw power and wisdom. She found that they were simpler in the hair. Suzukos was the same length as her sisters but a lighter pink. Her ends where dies black.
She was still in deep thought when she left the room and headed for hers.
"Sasuke-Kun?" Saukra said poking him in the arm. "Your grandmother is something else."
"Yeah I know. Now about the bet." Sakura turned to face him and wasn't at all surprised to see a coy look on his handsome feturees.
'What the hell? Since when is Sasuke-Kun handsome?' She silently thought to her self.
'Since first grade stupid. Sheesh! It's hard to belive we are the same person!' her inner shouted.
'Yeah right. But now we have to do whatever he says!'
'Awesome. Maybe he'll make us his salve!'
'How the hell is that something to cheer about!'
"Sakura! Are you listening to me." After blinking twice Sakura noticed that the hand was attached to a wrist. And that wrist was attached to and arm. And that arm was attached to Sasuke. Oops. Spacing out was something Sakura was a champion at. Unlike roller balding. She hated roller balding.
"Sakura!"
"Huh? Oh. I'm so sorry. I was just thinking." She responded as she readjusted her self in her seat.
