A/N: Hey guys, sorry it's been so long, school started up and had me pretty busy. So, don't expect updates regularly. Hah. But if it makes it any better, this chapter is longer than the first! Woo!

Disclamer: I don't own Naruto or Starbucks(I think I mention Starbucks too often, heh)

Chapter 2: Who is He?

"Ungh! Ouch! What'd you do that fo-" Sakura said as she looked up and then saw very familiar onyx eyes. "Hey! Why do you keep on fucking running into me! What the hell did I ever do to you?" She yelled.

"Hn. You better watch where you're going." The man scoffed.

"Me? If I'm not mistaken you could've avoided me both times! You stupid, arrogant, bastard!" Sakura yelled.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he just started walking away. 'Ah! I can't take it anymore this guy is an idiot!' She thought as she stormed away, 'maybe a nice cup of tea will calm me down.'

As she walked in the Starbucks, she saw Ino there with a man. "Ino? Hey! Who is this?" Sakura said to her friend.

"Oh, this is Shikamaru Nara. He works in the building beside mine, and I saw him walking out and invited him to get coffee with me!" Ino winked at Shikamaru. "Troublesome woman…" Shikamaru said.

"Oh, well, uh, its very nice to meet you…" Sakura said.

"Anyways, guess what? Shikamaru invited us to a party at his place tonight; a lot of people are going be there. Don't forget to invite Naruto, he's always the life of the party!" said Ino.

"Yeah, okay! Are you going to ride with me?"

"Nope, Shikamaru is taking me to his place right after work, so I won't need a ride home either."

"Okay, I'll need the address then." Sakura said.

After work, Sakura was exhausted. She didn't know if she was going to be able to stay awake for the party, but she figured she'd be alright if she took a cold shower when she got back to her apartment.

'Man today sure was a busy day, I hope its not like that every day… And I swear if that fucking bushy browed loser hits on me again, I'm going to kill him.' She thought while she opened the door to her apartment.

She stepped out of her shower, and neatly wrapped a towel around her form. Sakura walked out of the bathroom to put a microwavable dinner in the oven, she didn't know if they would have food there, and hey, rather safe than sorry.

Once Sakura finished up putting on all her make-up, she went into the kitchen to eat the lasagna that was cooling on the counter. As she popped a bite in her mouth, she thought about the man she ran into twice today.

'He sure was gorgeous, I wonder if he works around my building, and that's why I saw him so often? I just can't believe he is such an ass…"

As Sakura stepped onto the subway, she realized she had forgotten her phone on the counter, 'Damn, I always forget that thing. It blends in so well with my counter… Hopefully I can find his place easily enough.'

She sat down at the back of the train car and stated to people watch. She noticed that there were many people dressed like her, in party outfits. Some were a little more revealing than her outfit, and that told her they were going to a nightclub, or maybe a strip club… Either way her casual black dress was nothing compared to the skimpiness of the sequined thing the woman was wearing. She looked like she was one of the strippers…

The train came to a stop at the street she thought Sakura had to get off at. She looked down at her hand were she had written the address, 'Okay, this should be right over this way, I think? Oh man. Oh yeah! Here it is, whoa, this building looks like it has really expensive apartments in it… Oh! He's in the penthouse? Ino really knows how to pick her men… Its like she can smell how rich they are…'

Knock, knock, knock!

"Hello? Oi! Hey Forehead!" Ino squealed.

"Jeez Pig, you didn't have to scream, I'm right here."

"Sakura I didn't yell! And where is Naruto?"

"Uh, I told him where the place is, he wanted to pick up this girl I work with, Hinata. I guess my playing matchmaker worked out well! Heh."

Ino let her into the apartment, and Sakura's jaw almost hit the floor, the place was amazing. It was a lofty place with three out of the five walls were completely glass and had a beautiful view over all of Tokyo. The furniture was gracefully placed in the middle of the hardwood floor with a lazy kitchen in the corner, where an open bar was. A few modern statues where scattered around the floor. All in all it was simply wonderful, a little too cold for Sakura's taste, but that didn't mean she couldn't appreciate the interior designer's work.

"Ino, how do you find these men with all this money?"

"I really don't know, it's like my sixth-sense, haha!"

"Must be…" Sakura mumbled under her breath.

"Shikamaru-kun! Over here! This Sakura, remember?"

"Yeah, hello Sakura." Shikamaru said with a lazy tone. She wondered how he managed to get a place like this when he seemed like such a lazy person.

"Hello Shikamaru, this is such a wonderful place!"

"Oh, yeah, thanks. Its so troublesome to clean though."

"So, if you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living?"

"I'm architect, for Asuma Designs. Asuma was my adopted father, and I greatly admired him, so naturally I followed in his footsteps. He died last year, and he handed the company over to me."

"Ah, I'm sorry for your loss. Did you design this building?"

"Yeah, it was really interesting designing it. I hear you work at Konoha Inc.? I drew up the designs for that place a couple years ago."

"Wow, well, beautiful work…"

"Shikamaru! Get your ass over here! This man is questioning our merger!" a tall, tan blond woman yelled from across the room. She had a very interesting style, four ponytails? Cute, but a little odd.

"Excuse me, thank you for coming to the party, Sakura."

That was pretty much the only conversation she had all night, she joined a couple of other conversations, but none really held her attention for too long. When Naruto and Hinata arrived, she talked to them for a while, but she wanted to give them alone time.

Just as Sakura was about to say goodbye to Ino, she noticed an all too familiar head of bright red hair.

"Gaara?" Sakura practically screamed.

"Ah, hello Sakura. It's been too long." Gaara said. Gaara and her had been friends since she was 12; it was rare that she ever saw him. Last time she heard he lived in Sendai.

She continued a light conversation with him; until she excused herself and went to tell Ino that she had to leave or else tomorrow she would never be able to get out of bed. It was already midnight, and the party hadn't died a bit. In fact, it seemed to have gotten more crowed.

"Ino! Uh, I'm going to head out, work tomorrow. Call in the morning if you still want a right, yeah?"

"Okay Forehead, but hopefully I'll spend the night here!" She said with a wink.

"Heh, okay. See you!"

She stepped up on the platform and it hit her how cold it was, she was shaking violently by the time the train pulled up. She sat down on the cold plastic seat, and trembled.

"You need a jacket pretty lady?" A guy asked. He looked like he just got out of a club and was slightly drunk.

"Uh, thank you, but I'm fine, really." She said as she tried to control her chattering teeth.

"Are sure you don't need some help warming up?" He said seductively, or what he thought was seductive, as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Heh, thanks but I'll be fine. I'm about to get off anyways…"

"No, no. I insist." He pushed.

" Uh…" That's when she heard to doors open, and she darted out. She heard the man yell something after her, but she was just focusing on trying to find out why exactly she ran away. She could normally handle herself in these situations; she could throw a mean punch for someone her size.

Luckily she had gotten off at the right stop, 'That almost never happens… must be good luck!' Sakura raced up the elevator and into her room, she was freezing!

It was the day of the meeting. Sakura had climbed out of bed a half an hour early to make sure she had everything she needed and to have plenty of time to get ready and to get to work on time. This was big, her first meeting with very large companies. She had studied up on all of the things she might need to refer to and all the information on what the transaction entitled. 'I am so ready! Cha!'

She stepped out of the shower and curled her pink hair. Then, after applying her makeup, stepped into her suit. As she gathered her things, she gave her apartment a once-over, to assure she had gotten all of her papers. A knock at her door told Sakura that it was time to go. Her and Ino walked down to the parking garage and got in the car.

They had stopped in a Starbucks, like they did every day, and Sakura decided she would get her favorite today; a caramel macchiato. 'Mm mm mm!'

"Where are they Tsunade-sama? Wasn't the meeting supposed to start about," Tenten looked at her watch,"15 minutes ago?" Sakura could tell she was really nervous. She wondered why, Tenten had been with the company for a year now hadn't she? Just then, the door swung open and Tsunade stood up.

"Hello gentlemen." She received a quiet 'Hn' and a 'Good morning' in response.

Sakura analyzed the men walking in. She noticed who the Hyuga were immediately, a slender man with long, brown hair, that was tied it a loose ponytail, had the same eyes as Hinata. She looked at the next in the group; a young girl that looked to be about 18. She had the same eyes as Hinata as well, but her features more closely resembled Hinata's features, a softer face and the same nose. Her eyes traveled to the next, A tall man with familiar onyx eyes, long dark hair held back in a ponytail, 'Man, these guys like their ponytails, heh', and had deep creases under his eyes. The last in the line was the same size as the previous man, and had the same dark eyes and dark hair, but it seemed to spike up in the back. He was much more attractive than the other dark haired man, although they were both very handsome. 'Wait! That's the guy! Ah! Keep your mouth shut! You can't ruin this meeting!'

While she was thinking this, she missed the smirk on the 'brick wall'.

"Ah, Sakura, Tenten" Tsunade gestured to the guests, "They are my top analysists." All the guests nodded.

The tall Hyuga man began to speak, "Hello, Sakura-san, we haven't met. I am Neji Hyuga, and this is my cousin Hanabi. I just recently took over Hyuga International. These men over here are the owners of Uchiha Corporate, Itachi and Sasuke."

'So Sasuke is his name…' "Ah, hello, a pleasure to meet all of you." Sakura said pleasantly.

"Thank you all for coming" Tsunade said, "This was very productive, I hope to see you all again soon."

Sakura and Tenten shook the people's hands, Sakura didn't miss that Tenten had blushed furiously when she shook Neji's hand. He smirked at her and walked off next to Hanabi.

She walked out of the building about and hour after the meeting; Tsunade had given her the rest of the afternoon off after she had successfully sold the offer to their clients. She was very proud of herself, this was a good sign.

Sakura heard her stomach growl as she walked into a café; this was the best lunch spot around here. The very best part was that it was pretty much undiscovered, and they also served her favorite dessert here.

She got her meal and sat down at a small booth over by the window, and began reading a book Hinata had recommended yesterday. So far it was very good, it was about a man who was lost at sea, and had been picked up by a fishing ship, and brought back to the small town. She liked reading, and this had just enough excitement and it was beginning to turn into a romance.

"I didn't think anyone else knew about my hole in the wall," a deep voice said.

Startled, Sakura looked up from her book, only to see Sasuke Uchiha. "Hm, and here I thought this was my hole in the wall."
