Summary: Sakura gaped as she looked at the sign before doing a double take. Yup, she wasn't dreaming. There on the sign in front of the mansion, was stating that Uchiha Sasuke needed a wife. And it was her lucky day that she became the hired wife.

CHAPTER 4

Itachi sighed as he looked at the picture in front of him, set on the desk inside his office. He smirked as he saw the people inside the picture. It was of him when he was 18 and a girl with pink hair that looked like she was 14 or so. He was now 25… and she probably 21. He could only chuckle as he remembered his times with her.

"I'm coming back for you… Sakura-chan…" he whispered. His thoughts of the pink haired girl suddenly led to a certain mini-version of him as he wondered. 'Hmm… what does Sakura have to do with that little pest of a brother?' he suddenly smirked wider when the thought of the two together entered his mind. Oh! He would have Sakura as his little sister!

'Alright! Plan matchmake my foolish little brother and my foolish little soon-to-be sister is a go!'

Sakura yawned and opened her eyes to meet sunlight. She felt something warm on her feet and looked down, she smiled when she saw Misae. She felt something move and looked beside her to see Sasuke. She remembered that she had fallen asleep with him. She blushed before silently pulling away since he was wrapping his arms around her.

She sighed before walking to her kitchen, careful not to wake Misae up either. She walked to the fridge and got out a couple of things before turning on the stove. She placed in some oil and waited for the oil to spread before cracking in 2 eggs. She finished the two eggs and scooped it up with a spatula before placing it on a plate.

She cracked in 2 more eggs and did the same thing when it was done. She smiled as she sliced some tomatoes and placed some on each plate along with some bread, butter, and bacon. She looked at her work and slapped her hands together to brush off imaginary dust. She grinned happily as she turned to the fridge once more.

She failed to notice the pair of onyx eyes watching her from the doorway of the kitchen. Sasuke stood there, leaning against the wall smirking at her as he examined her bustling around the kitchen. 'Just like a real wife…' he coughed inwardly as he slapped himself for thinking something like that.

She was a hired wife. A hired wife. That's all. At least that's what he thinks it is.

Sasuke continued looking at her from when she started cracking in two eggs until now, where she was pouring orange juice into one glass and dark coffee into a mug. She smiled before laying down the plates of food on the dining table and then walked over to retrieve the drinks and laid it down beside their respective dish.

She was about to turn around and call Sasuke for breakfast when she saw him standing there. She blushed before smiling sheepishly, "Gomen… for waking you up with the noise I made, oh, is Misae-chan up?" Sakura asked, and on cue, Misae barked and appeared next to Sasuke, stretching lazily.

Sakura smiled, "Breakfast you two!" she laid down a few pieces of bacon for Misae as well. Sakura and Sasuke sat down opposite each other as Misae ate at her own place beneath the table. Sakura looked at Sasuke and waited for him to take a bite before smiling widely and asking, "Is it good?"

Sasuke looked at her and stayed silent for a while, savoring the taste until placing down his fork and spoon to look at her still smiling face. "Aa… it's good… it tastes like my Okaa-san's cooking," Sasuke said as he smirked at her. Sakura grinned happily and clapped her hands together before picking up her own fork and spoon.

"Well then- let's dig in! Itadakimasu!" Sakura giggled before taking a bite out of her eggs. Sasuke smirked at her.

Sakura thanked the butler as he helped carry one of her suitcases inside. Sakura was busy carrying Misae and Sasuke had two suitcases in his hands as well. Sakura smiled widely at him, "Domo ne, Sasuke-kun!" she thanked him as well as she shut the trunk for him. He nodded at her in reply as he walked into the mansion with Sakura close behind him.

The maid closed the door after them as a driver outside drove the car off into the mansion's underground garage. Misae barked as she looked around the new place. Sakura smiled and followed Sasuke as he led her to her room. "You were staying in my room yesterday, so I'll lead you to your new room, we had it custom painted for you," Sasuke said.

Sakura nodded shyly, suddenly aware of her surroundings. He guided her up the stairs until they reached the very last door on the fifth floor. "My room is across from yours and there is a bathroom in every room, Shina's room is three doors down and Sachi stays in the room next to yours. Across from Sachi my brother's room but he's not here, on the other side is the master bedroom, my parents' room. Don't go there unless someone tells you to," Sasuke said simply as he placed the suitcases inside the room.

He nodded at her before walking to his room. Sakura walked inside the room and placed Misae on a doggy bed that was there, "Oh… how cute!" the room was painted a nice light, forest misty green with pink butterflies encaged in rhinestones here and there on the walls. The bed was a cute white with silver stars in a line.

Sakura sighed as she collapsed on the bed and closed her eyes to wait for the day to come by…

-Knock, knock!-

Sakura yawned as she sat up on her bed to see Misae asleep on her own bed. Sakura smiled rubbed her eyes to discard any signs of sleep. Misae woke up as well and stretched her front paws lazily and yawned noiselessly as well. Sakura giggled before walking to the door and opening it, making sure she looked presentable.

She saw Shina who grinned at her, "Come on Sakura-chan! Hurry up and change into something casual! Me, Sasu-nii, Sachi-chan, and you are going out tonight! We're going to eat out with a couple of people! Our maid will be taking care of Misae-chan!" apparently, she had seen Misae already from the sounds of it.

Sakura could only knock as Shina giggled and closed the door again from the other side. Sakura sighed before walking to her closet. She smiled when she grabbed out the first outfit she saw, it consisted of a black turtle neck long sleeve with a white t-shirt on top that had a pink bunny on it, black mini skirt, black and white striped knee-high socks, and black converse.

She made her hair into two French braids and clipped back her bangs into a flat poof (I know it makes no sense.) She took one more luck in the mirror added some chains to her mini skirt before nodding in satisfaction. She grabbed a baby pink leash and attached it to Misae, the leash had Misae's name printed on it in rhinestone as well. Sakura giggled as she opened the door to the room to see a crowd of girls looking at her.

They consisted of two girls with blonde hair, one with brown hair, one with dark indigo hair, and the other being Shina. Shina smiled and waved at her. The brunette walked up to Sakura first and smiled friendly at her, "Hey there! You must be Sasuke's fiancée! I'm Tenten and you're Sakura, right?" she asked with a wide grin.

Sakura blushed before nodding shyly, "A-Aa… Haruno Sakura, and I know you! You're the heiress of mostly all the dojo in the Japan! And you're the heiress to the Hyuuga Corps… and you're the famous fashion designer and you're the C.E.O. of Sabaku Productions! Wow… I'm amazed! I'm surrounded by famous people!" Sakura said shyly while looking at them.

The first blonde looked at her with a smiling face, "Well I'm Ino! And aw! Your puppy is so cute! Shina told me it was Misae, right?" Ino asked her, Sakura nodded, Ino giggled, "I have a pet cat I named Misaki! Well anyways, that's Temari right there, and as you know, Shina and Tenten, and lastly that is Hinata-chan!" Ino smiled.

Sakura nodded, getting used to them already, Hinata smiled at her, "Well Sakura-san, I hope we'll have fun tonight together," Hinata's voice was shy and pleasant and Sakura found herself lost in a circle of friends when she talked to them. "We'll be going to eat first and then probably go around and watch some movies, is that alright with you?"

Sakura could only nod again and found herself talking to Temari who had placed a hand on her shoulder, "No need to be shy Pixie Chick! You can open that pretty mouth of yours to let out some words anytime you want! It's really easy!" Sakura giggled, Temari seemed like a sarcastic but nice person.

Sakura smiled at them all, "Well I hope we'll have fun together too! It's nice to meet you all!" Sakura bowed her head but her head was lifted by a slender finger and looked up to meet Tenten's kind face. "No need to bow! We get enough of that at home! You're part of our groupie now too and friends don't do formal crap!" Sakura laughed before nodding.

This is going to be great.

Sasuke smirked when he looked over to see Sakura already chatting animatedly with her new girlfriends. He watched as she kindly handed Misae's leash to the maid who smiled at her respectfully. Sakura told her the things to do with Misae and she nodded her head in understanding as Sakura gave her an imaginary list.

The six girls walked over to the group of boys as they introduced themselves. Sakura widened her eyes when she came to Naruto. "Oh! It's you! I met you the other day in the training ground! Uzumaki Naruto ne? I'm Haruno Sakura!" Sakura grinned widely as she recognized him immediately by his friendly tone.

Naruto thought for a moment before grinning just as widely at her, "Yeah! You are! Wait- you're Sasuke-teme's fiancée?! Aw man! That sucks! The teme gets all the good ones!" Naruto sighed, Sakura thought she saw a look of distraught on Hinata's face when she heard him but Sakura was soon interrupted when a honk came from outside.

Ino smiled before gathering them all up, "Well come on you guys! The limo awaits us!" Sakura walked with the girls outside as she saw Shina lag behind to talk to a boy with reddish blonde hair and silver eyes. She remembered him as Hyuuga Ayumu and smiled slightly. A Uchiha daughter and a Hyuuga son. Wow.

They slowly entered the long limousine, their group consisting of 18 people in total. Sakura, Sasuke, Ino, Shikamaru, Tenten, Neji, Hinata, Naruto, Shina, Ayumu, Temari, Kiba, Shino, Sai, Chouji, Lee, Kankurou, and Gaara.

Sakura sighed as she laid her head on Sasuke's shoulder unconsciously at the long limousine ride. She snapped her head back in place when Hinata and Ino accidentally giggled. She blushed as she looked away from Sasuke, "G-Gomenasai!" she stuttered as she coughed a fake cough. She was surprised though when she felt her head being pushed back onto his shoulder. She looked up at him in surprise.

He looked away, a small red tint on his cheeks, "Hn…" Sakura smiled softly before closing her eyes. Ino and Shina looked at each other and sent a smirk towards the two's way before quickly hiding it when Sasuke looked at them suspiciously. Ino giggled as Tenten and Temari bit back their chuckles. "What?" Sasuke asked in annoyance.

The 5 girls sent each other looks before looking at him and responding in unison, "Oh… nothing…" the boys looked at each other and then to their female counterparts before rolling their eyes. 'Women…' Tenten sighed as she looked out the door and her eyes glistened when something came in view.

"Stop the car!"

This is a very boring chapter because I just wanted Sakura to meet the others first before the events that I'm going to put up in later chapters. Do any of you know why Tenten stopped the car? I'll give you a nice hint! It has to do with someone that has a name starting with the letter I:D Guess who?

Well, thank you for the lovely reviews I got the last time, I'm very happy and I hope you guys will review for this chapter as well:) I promise the next chapter will be less boring!!

Lots of love,
