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.

Disclaimer: Guess what? I own Naruto! … … … Ok you caught me! I don't! Is that a crime? Is dreaming a crime now?!?! X-X

CHAPTER 7

Sakura smiled as the two continued laughing and joking around with each other.

'Why does every one of my thoughts lead up to you… Uchiha Sasuke? Have you made that big of an impact in my life already in only 4 days?' Sakura felt her smile droop a little before her eyes closed on her, her head automatically fell on Naruto's shoulder as she sighed before drifting off to sleep unconsciously.

Naruto widened his eyes when he felt pressure on his shoulders and looked over to see Sakura sleeping, he smiled a bit as he tucked a loose piece of hair behind her ear, he looked back at the ocean as he threw one more rock and said the last thing he hated about Sasuke.

"Why do you… always have the woman… I love?"

Sakura smiled as she got up from her bed, remembering last night's events with Naruto and Sasuke. The good ones and the bad ones. She sighed, refreshed before entering her bathroom and turning on the shower. She twirled around once before clasping her hands and smiling widely, "Wha! Domo Kami-sama for granting me the bestest friend ever! Uzumaki Naruto!" she laughed.

She sighed before pulling the curtains close and entering the showering. She hummed a soft tune as she scrubbed off imaginary dust off her flawless body and proceeded to wash her hair with shampoo and afterwards, conditioner. She finished up and got out of the shower.

She put on a black camisole, white unbuttoned jean jacket on top, and a knee long flowy skirt with two layers: the first layer was a plain black while the layer on top was just flower printed purple lace. She had on a pair of black heeled boots that ended a couple inches below her skirt.

She blow dried her hair and did her hair in two braids that rested on her shoulders and clipped back her bangs on top of her head to form a slight poof. She smiled and looked at the dog tag Naruto had given her. It was a silver chain with a shining dog tag that had a hollow space forming a bunny rabbit with the words I ♥ My and then the hollow space of the bunny rabbit was beneath, meaning, 'I love my bunny rabbit.' There were two sides but it was the same thing on each side except one side was orange while the other was pink.

Sakura giggled before placing it on, fingering the dog tag as she allowed the orange side of the dog tag to be facing forward. She sighed and as she leaned against the sink, her hands still wrapped around the tag, 'Should I talk to Sasuke?' a thought entered her mind before a decision was quickly formed. "Alright."

She hesitantly knocked on his door, hoping he was awake now and the door opened, slightly gentler this time then last night. He looked at her, his face calm and serene now, "Did you need something, Sakura?" his face was relaxed now that is was a new day and he held no sign that said he remembered anything last night.

Now Sakura fought an inner battle with her mind as she thought of what to do, should she remind him or not? 'If I do though… but if I don't then… maybe I should… but then again-!' 'JUST DO IT! MY KAMI!' 'Ah! Where have you been for ages long who knows?!' 'Shannaro! I only come out when I need to so listen to me now!'

Sakura nodded as a sense of determination overwhelmed her and she looked Sasuke straight in the eye, "S-Sasuke-kun! I… I need to talk to you!" Sakura nearly shouted as she snapped her eyes shut after she said it. Sasuke only continued to stare at her before nodding, opening the door a little wider for her to enter.

She gulped before nodding her thank you and entering with hesitance in every step she made. She visibly winced when she heard the door close. "S-Sasuke-kun I-!" she was cut off yet again when she suddenly was pinned to the door. She widened her eyes to find Sasuke's face away from hers a couple inches.

He wasn't smiling or smirking or frowning or anything for that matter. He was just… well, Sasuke. His voice was velvety and a little cracked since he probably just woke up an hour or so ago, "Sakura, I'm sorry about last night, I didn't mean to, something just sort of… came over me, you understand don't you?" he asked her, focusing on her eyes only.

Sakura could only nod robotically before a blush crept up to her cheeks and she pushed him gently away on the chest, "W-Well! Now that that's over with, ehehe… let's go get some breakfast later? Hehe… heh?" she giggled nervously as her hand fingered the doorknob. He didn't reply and for a moment she thought he was going to say no.

"Alright, meet you at the front doors at 9:30. Oh, and good morning," he smirked at her as she blushed deeper and walked out of his room. Oh how much he loved seeing her blush bright red- he didn't really know, actually.

Sakura sighed as the two sat down on their chairs facing opposite each other. The waiter handed them a menu that Sakura thanked him for while Sasuke merely flipped it open to look through the contents. Sakura did the same except she took a small glance at him hesitantly first before looking at her own menu. 'What's this feeling? Why am I so… nervous around him?'

Sasuke set down his menu and smirked at her, "Are you finished reading through?" she blushed when she saw his eyes dance with amusement at her discomfort, she growled inside as she suddenly felt a wave of courage sweep through her. Her eyes blazed hard with determination but that seemed to amuse him even more.

She looked away with a sense of grace washing over her, her eyes held a sense of maturity now as the tone of her voice sparked a blazing feeling within him. "Hmph! Of course, what do you think, I can't even read through a simple menu in a few minutes?! Psh… Uchiha and their prides…" Sakura mumbled the last part to herself.

She felt a blush creep up her cheeks once again when she felt a long finger lift up her chin, she couldn't help but think of them as 'Artist hands…' Sasuke feigned a look of guilt as he spoke, she didn't look at him, scared he would see her weakness, "Now, now, Sakura, are you like this because of last night because I'm sure I said I was sorry, unless there's a way… you want me to say sorry in?" he smirked.

Sakura felt her breath hitched at her throat when his lone finger trailed down her throat, near the hem of her shirt as he rubbed the flesh there, she suddenly pulled away and looked away, "I-I… don't try to take advantage of me like this Uchiha!" Sakura nearly shouted, the restaurant's customers looked over at them, Sakura flushed and bowed her head in apology, they sent the couple amused looks before returning to their food.

Sakura winced as she glared at Sasuke, "Don't do that! Stop patronizing me, really!" Sakura warned before pouting. Sasuke chuckled as the waiter walked over to them. He sent a 'look' in Sakura's direction, a certain look that made Sasuke burn inside. "Well then, are you two ready to order?" Sakura gave him a glum nod.

He smirked at Sasuke, giving him a challenging look, Sasuke glared in his direction, he seemed unfazed by it. The waiter had brown hair and sapphire eyes. His name tag read- "Kouiji-san?" Sakura called out with a smile, Kouiji smiled in her direction as she weakly smiled back, "Um, a clam chowder and mash potatoes please. And some orange juice is fine," Sakura smiled at him.

He sent a dazzling smile her way, forcing a small tint of red onto her cheeks. Sasuke growled inwardly as he watched the interaction, Kouiji then turned to Sasuke, his smile replaced with a bitter and boring look, "What she wants, I'll have," Sasuke managed to snarl out, Kouiji merely nodded before turning around, winking at Sakura.

The rest of the waiting was quiet as Sakura could only stay silent under Sasuke's hard gaze, Kouiji came back a moment later with orange juice, Sasuke sensed something and he could only widen his eyes when Kouiji (purposely) spilled the orange juice on Sakura's shirt, Sakura widened her eyes and gasped.

Kouiji pretended to be surprised as well and gasped, "I'm so sorry miss! Please, let me help you with that!" and that was enough for Sasuke to snap as he saw Kouiji wipe away the orange juice on her shirt which was near… that place. He growled and snarled as he walked over to Sakura's side and threw Kouiji off of her.

Sakura widened her eyes as Kouiji flew into the table beside them, Sasuke glared at him, his eyes glowing bright red, "Get away from her! I'll do it myself!" Sasuke scowled as he lifted Sakura into his arms and walked to the restrooms. The customers stared at the scene in fascination and took one look at Kouiji before bursting out laughing. Kouiji growled as he was left in his embarrassment.

"S-Sasuke! What are you-!? Put me down! That's the WOMEN'S restroom you moron!!" Sakura cried out, Sasuke didn't care as he kicked the door open and glared at all the other women in the restroom, "OUT, NOW!" he growled and that was all it took for them to scurry out of the restroom. Sakura widened her eyes as the door behind them closed and Sasuke set her on the counter like a little girl.

He handed her some paper towels as she nodded her thanks and began wiping off the juice on her shirt. She finished and threw the paper towels away as she looked at Sasuke who was staring at her the whole entire time, she blushed before crying out in annoyance, "W-What are you looking- mmph!"

She was cut off when Sasuke slammed her against the mirror behind her and even at her high height on the counter, he managed to be level headed with her. 'Did he get tall-!' once again, she couldn't finish her thought as she felt his lips press themselves upon hers. She widened her eyes in shock and he growled for her to respond.

She gasped when his hands wrapped themselves a little too tightly around her waist, he took the chance to slip his tongue inside her mouth. She slowly felt her eyes close as she responded to him, their tongues dancing with one another. She moaned as he planted butterfly kisses on her neck before trailing back up her neck, leading to her lips and capturing them again. "S-Sasuke-kun…" she groaned out as he pinned her further against the mirror.

Sasuke slipped his hand into her hair as his fingers ran through the soft, silky hair, pulling off the hair ties that held her braids. Sakura did the same with him, she moaned once more and the two were suddenly interrupted as a woman opened the door to the restroom to meet a quite… intimate sight. Sakura groaned and tried to pull Sasuke away but he only grunted in defiance.

She gasped but managed to ground out a small word as he pulled a millimeter away from her lips, "Someone…" he reluctantly pulled away and grunted in annoyance before turning around to glare at the woman. The woman blushed and was about to turn away when Sakura jumped off the counter, and smiled at her, her face still red from the previous event.

"G-Gomenasai!" she laughed nervously before sending a quick glare towards Sasuke and pulled him out of the restroom.

The two had paid their bill and left the restaurant after that… refreshing encounter. Sakura blushed as she looked away, "What… what did you do that for?" she asked in a small shy voice, she suddenly felt her face being turned so her emerald eyes looked up into Sasuke's own onyx orbs. She blushed.

He smirked as he replied, "Because… that means you're my fiancée, boy magnet," Sasuke snickered as her face flamed at the nickname. She bonked him on the head, "BAKA SASUKE!" he winced before wrapping an arm around her waist, "It's supposed to be a compliment," he smirked as her face flushed, realizing her mistake.

She shyly looked at him, "But really… you don't even love me so what's the point…?" this time, he didn't answer her, but simply took her to the parking lot. Sakura felt slightly hurt but tried to cover up her question by asking, "Where are going now?!" she asked, looking up at him. He looked down at her and smirked before looking back to the road in front of them.

"We're going to arrange our wedding plans,"

Sakura widened her eyes, 'Wedding… plans?' she never thought they'd have a REAL wedding…

Sasuke took the smallest of glimpses at Sakura before a thought entered his mind.

'I couldn't really be… falling for her, could I?'

This was just an act, he was just faking everything…

Right?

OMG! Things are heating up between the two! Well, this chapter is dedicated mostly to our main coupling of course, Sasuke and Sakura! And for those that are asking if this will turn out to be a NaruSaku, NO! Of course NOT! Sasuke and Sakura are like my main line! Sure, I like Sakura with Neji and Gaara and stuff too, but really, the labeling of the main characters on top say SASUKE U. and SAKURA H.

Of COURSE it's a SasuSaku!! Well, anyways, just wanted to clarify for you all and yes, Naruto is there to make things juicier and later, Hinata, -winks.-

Thank you for the lovely reviews again! Hope you review please!! It boosts my updating speed:D

Lots of love,

XOXO Kaze-Chan
