Chapter Ten

Uncertain Future

"Mom, hurry up! I really want to go to the beach!" Kaoru called. She and her father were currently in front of the garage, waiting for Naruto to emerge out of the house.

"You don't need to worry Kaoru. We're going to reach the beach before the sun rises anyways," Sasuke said to his little angel.

"But Dad, I'm so excited! I really want to go!" Kaoru whined, frowning miserably.

Sasuke chuckled and patted his daughter's head lightly. The scene made him really feel like a dad at his current age. Even though technically his fatherhood started at the age of seventeen, he felt this was the real start.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I just finished packing our lunch!" Naruto frantically apologized, scrambling out the door while holding a big basket in her hands.

"It's okay, Naruto. We're just going to have fun today, so no worries," Sasuke said while lifting the carrier from her hold.

"Mom, I'm so ready now! Can we go, Daddy?" Kaoru pleaded with sweet puppy eyes that her parents couldn't resist.

Both parents sweat dropped. "Well sure…we're ready to go…"

"Yay! We're going to the beach-beach-BEACH!" Kaoru chanted repeatedly with a big smile on her face.

"Where is Sasuke?" the older Uchiha asked sternly while massaging the bridge of his nose. He could feel a headache forming at immense speed.

"Sir, this is the result," Nishida stated calmly, handing over the envelope to his employer's hold.

As he received the envelope, the older man slowly opened it, revealing pictures of a happy family and one solo shot of a certain blonde haired girl. This could not be happening…he could not allow this. He was against the poor filthy girl from the start. Why did his two sons obsess so much over this monstrosity…this plain and simple girl? I need to get rid of her. This weed is in the way of Sasuke's path.

There was only one solution to the problem.

"Get me the phone Nishida; there's an important phone call that must be made."

"Sir, what about the child?"

The older Uchiha smirked. "That's another issue, isn't it? By the way, I want you to ready the car for me this night."

BEACH

"Mom, come on! I'm so-so-so-SO hungry!" Kaoru said, waving to her parents to follow her lead.

Naruto and Sasuke both looked at each other, smiling before turning their attention to their daughter. "Wait a minute Kaoru, we have some time to kill," Sasuke drawled and held Naruto's hand, intertwining their fingers together.

Despite his relaxed tone, Naruto frowned at the uneasiness he sensed under his confident mask. "Sasuke, are you okay? Is there something bothering you?" she asked worriedly. Since last night, Sasuke had been aloof and sighing. Like there was something going on in his mind that he wasn't telling her.

"Ah, it's nothing.I'm just anxious about the reaction of our clients for our new presentation of bite-sized bake goods. We've all been working so hard on this project that it's a waste if we don't get the partnership with the advertiser," Sasuke reasoned, giving her a slightly reassuring smile.

"Oh, okay."

But Sasuke still wasn't convinced of his reasoning.

...

FLASH BACK

Sasuke pushed the girl off of him while wiping his mouth with the back of his hands. He glared at the girl. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" he shouted angrily to the newcomer. In return, she gave him a smile as if nothing had happened just moments ago. The strawberry haired girl welcomed herself inside the house. "Hey, I asked who the hell you are! Why are you here?" Sasuke demanded.

"So…this is where you live. Not bad," the girl said for the first time as she looked around the house.

Sasuke twitched angrily. "I asked, who are you?" he demanded. The girl slowly approached the onyx eyed lad, her three inch heels clacking against the marble flooring. His glare deepened as the girl continued to ignore his question. She smiled wickedly, looking up to meet his glaring eyes.

"Hmm, I just want to see my fiancé. Nothing more," she said. Her fingers managed to find their way towards his chest and began to trace imaginary lines all over his sculpted body, boldly flirting and hitting on Sasuke.

The man in question growled and grabbed her wrist. He pushed the strawberry girl off of him. "Get your hand off of me! And who's fiancé?"

The girl scoffed, not affected by his obvious rejection, and instead smiled flirtatiously at him. She hooked her arms on his neck and inched closer to his face, pressing her body against his. "You know, I like your type feisty…but you know you can't do anything about this arrangement Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke growled as he pushed the girl yet again away from him. He finally took more permanent action by grabbing her arm and leading her outside of the house. "You know what? You're crazy! Go fuck someone else because I'm not interested in you. I'm not interested in anyone but my girlfriend!" he proclaimed angrily, obsidian eyes mirroring complete fury.

"It's too early for you to say that Sasuke-kun; you're mine and what I want I get." She stuck her hand out and flashed a perfect, ambassador/fashion model smile. "I'm Karin, your future wife."

"I don't care about your freaking name, I already have someone," Sasuke said bluntly.

"No matter what you do, Sasuke-kun, you'll be mine," Karin replied confidently.

END OF FLASHBACK

Naruto definitely doesn't need to know about that...

After their bonding moment at the beach, the day came to an end. They were heading back to Tokyo now.

"Mom, why do you have to work at this time? It's already 4:00 pm!" Kaoru whined. She still wanted to be together with her parents but Naruto had just told her that she needed to leave.

"Kaoru, I'm not working. I need to attend and afternoon class. It's one of the requirements for incoming outsiders who want to attend the Tokyo U," Naruto explained patiently to the wide eyed raven girl.

Sasuke spared an amused glance towards his daughter before returning his gaze on the road. "Your mom need to do this so don't make her feel bad by pouting. Besides, you see her everyday," Sasuke pointed out to his sulking little girl.

Kaoru's pout got bigger and she wrapped her arms around her chest. "Fine! I understand," she answered back begrudgingly.

"So this is my stop," Naruto sing-songed as Sasuke pulled over in front of the majestic gate of Tokyo University. One of the prestigious schools in Tokyo, it loomed before them all, intimidating but awe-some. Naruto gave her daughter a kiss on the cheek as she leaned forward to say her goodbyes. "Be a good girl Kaoru! Don't be a headache to your dad, okay?"

"Yeah, Mom, I promise I'll be good!" Kaoru beamed, proud to have a chance to be responsible, and raised her hand as a promise.

Naruto turned to Sasuke. "Take care of her, all right?"

"You know you can always count on me," Sasuke whispered, giving her a peck on the lips. They both heard a high-pitched squeal almost instantaneously from the back.

"Mom, Dad, go for it!" the little girl cheered, cheering them on. Both parents smiled awkwardly and embarrassed at their daughter.

"We're going to fetch you after, okay?" Sasuke reminded his girlfriend.

Naruto nodded. "Yes."

TOKYO U, HALL

"So this is Tokyo U, huh? Wow, this is just the lobby but the school's like a mansion! Fascinating…" Naruto said aloud to herself. She was so caught up in her thoughts and glamour of the school that she wasn't really looking and accidentally bumped into another person.

"Oh my god, sorry! I'm so sorry!" Naruto cried while bowing up and down apologetically.

The dark blue haired boy was stunned to see a beautiful blonde haired girl before him with the widest, most dazzling pair of sapphire eyes he had ever seen. Or just eyes in general.

"I'm sorry…" Naruto stammered uneasily as the person in front of her had still not uttered a single word. The man shook his head. "No, it's all right. There's nothing to worry about so you shouldn't be apologizing," he replied calmly.

"I'm really sorry, though!...Sir…."

"All right, but are you one of the students who passed the scholarship examination?" he asked. Naruto was about to answer him but the nearest intercom called her attention. "ALL STUDENTS WHO PASSED THE SCHOLARSHIP EXAM SHOULD BE ATTENDING THE CIVICS SEMINAR AND ENTER ROOM 303. THANK YOU."

"I'm sorry, sir, but I really need to go! Sorry again!" Naruto cried and she dashed out of the hall.

The blue haired man scratched the back of his head while looking at the retreating back of the girl. "This year will probably be the most memorable once school is in session," he grinned to himself, eyes sparkling.

In Naruto's way, blocking her path to the seminar (again), a black-suited man in his mid-30's approached her. "Uzumaki-san?" he asked.

Naruto looked at him wearily. Oddly, just by looking at his shaven, emotion-less face gave her a strange gut sensation. "Uh…sir, sorry but I still have to-" she tried to explain but he cut her off and got to the point of hir arrival.

"My name is Nishida Tohru and my master wants to talk to you…Privately."

"Master?" Naruto uttered.

She was absolutely clueless to what was about to happen.
