I'LL COMPROMISE WHEN HE'S DEAD

"I guess we all know why we are here... Are we ready to start?" Neji's office was icy cold that morning despite the sun and the nice heating. Sasuke sat right across Sakura and they stared at each other showing without words all the hatred they felt for each other. The same moment Sakura read James White confession she filed for a divorce. It was clear proof that Sasuke cared so little for her that he had met the guy she had cheated on him with and even paid him money to lie to the press. His prestige was the only thing that mattered to him and she was just an annoying little problem that he had to take care of.

The media had a party over that interview. White appeared in two different shows everyday and kept repeating how offended he was that Sakura had used him and even threatened to sue her. Tenten kept telling her how lucky she was that everyone thought that she hadn't cheated, but all she could see was Sasuke's betrayal and her own failure to actually hurt him.

If only she knew that Sasuke had lost his mind out of jealousy! Every time he saw White's face of heard his voice, he wanted to break something. The only thing he thought about was why Sakura had chosen him over himself. He had started to have nightmares of Sakura naked in his arms inside his former car and woke up angry and disgusted. As he sat in front of her and looked straight in her eyes he felt a strong urge to throw her on Neji's working table and take her right there right now just to make sure that he was better from that model she seemed to like so much.

Of course her feelings for James White were a little different now. Sakura had met him in the newspaper she worked and she had immediately chosen him to fulfill her revenge. He was the one who had flirted with her and she thought for real that he liked her a lot. The man was not very smart and very superficial, but she had liked him enough to allow him to see her naked. Now she knew that he liked her even less than her husband did and that and questioned her own intelligence.

Maybe she was really nothing without Sasuke. Tenten had said 'if you feel too angry or sad during the meeting, you just look at my nose and you'll immediately feel better'. She was right. The moment she took a look at the slightly enlarged purplish nose of her friend, she chuckled. Sasuke couldn't help but wonder what was going on in his ex's mind.

"Yes, we are ready! My client filed for divorce last Monday and wants it as soon as possible. Does your client agree with that?" Neji tried to open his mouth, but he didn't catch a break. "Then we can discuss the details and avoid a trial if you are willing to compromise. Allow me to start..." Sakura thought that she needed to congratulate Tenten and write her a big check. She was far more aggressive that herself and she was determined to make Neji (and Sasuke) go down. They might be in Neji's fancy office, but she was the impressive one.

"My client has no interest in the joint property as your client earned the biggest amount of that money, but she wants full custody of her five underage children. She can of course allow some visits of your client and the number per month can still be discussed. As for the house..."

"Per month!?" Sasuke's voice sounded angry but mocking. Neji gave him the look. He had clearly told him that he and Sakura were not allowed to talk to each other during the meeting or the trial, if there was going to be one, and their attorneys would do all the talking. If Sasuke wanted to change something, he would have to tell it to Neji and only.

"My client has a different offer to make. He is willing to offer any amount of money or even a share in his company in exchange for the full custody of the children. Your client as the mother can have one visit per week and she can keep the house." Tenten turned to look at Sakura, but she didn't have to ask her answer.

"My client has to decline that offer, but she can allow the children to stay with their father one weekend per month and some days during the holidays. Does your client agree with that?" Neji's answer was not needed. All of them knew that there was no way to find a solution that would leave them both satisfied. The discussion was a dead-end.

"Mr. Uchiha can't accept that solution..."

"For God's sake, I gave you a weekend per month! What do you want from me?" Sakura had stood up and ignored every advice Tenten had given her. The fact that Sasuke was trying to take the children away from her made her furious. "You won't be happy unless you take my children away?"

"Only the attorneys can speak..."

"You think that I will accept to see my children once a month and a few more days on Holidays? Have you even asked them? They want to come with me!"

"Only the attorneys can speak..."

"They need their mother, Sasuke! You work all day long and many times at night and on weekends, too! How exactly do you plan on raisng them from your office? And what about your travelling? They will be alone in your house all the time!"

"Only the attorneys can speak..."

"Really? And you? How are you going to raise them without my money? How are you going to pay for their schools or that big house? All these years you spend even more money than all of them together on your clothes and perfumes and all that stupid stuff...!"

"Only the attorneys can speak..."

"So, now I'm a gold digger? I..."

"ONLY THE ATTORNEYS CAN SPEAK IN THE MEETING!" Tenten yelled on top of her lungs and Neji's secretary ran inside to see if everything was ok. Neji sent her out and closed the door. He looked at them. Sasuke's face was red and Sakura's eyes were wet when Tenten was still out of breath.

"All of you sit down! Now! We can't continue like this! If you go to court like this, you'll end up arrested! And your children will be taken away from both of you!" Sasuke and Sakura calmed down and sat back on their seats. Tenten sat down, too, and turned to Neji.

"After the events of last Sunday...," Tenten looked at Sasuke "you can't prove that an adultery occurred and claim that my client is an unworthy mother. The court will not take the children away from the mother. Why doesn't you client accept our last offer? It's the best he can get."

Neji hoped that he wouldn't have to use that, but he had already found a way to overcome that. He looked at Sakura apologetically before he continued. "The article your client wrote still exists. Why would a mother write down such a lie for her children to read? The court won't give five children to a mother who is... mentally unstable." Even Sasuke gasped along with the girls.

Tenten almost fainted. "Neji, you say at the court that Sakura is crazy!"

Well, that chapter was very short, but I wanted to end right there for emphasis! What do you believe is going to happen?

Please let my know if you have any questions so far, because I was thinking about making a chapter with information about the children. They are about to play a great part in the story!

See you soon,
