A picture of Sakura leaning over Sasuke in the bed as he is holding in one hand an ice cream cup and the other hand holding a spoon and he's feeding Sakura the ice cream as the spoon is dipped towards her open mouth. One of Sakura's hands are on Sasuke's stomach softly while the other hand is holding back a side of her hair so it won't touch the ice cream. Sasuke has the smallest microscopic smile on.

WANTED: A PINK HAIRED WIFE

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: OMG!! I wish I owned Naruto so I could make stupid Sasuke fall for Sakura-chan!! DIE SASUKE-TEME!! (I must admit, he does look HAWT in that black outfit of his! X-X)

CHAPTER 10

Sasuke glared at him, "Shut it Kozumi. And yeah, she is the girl I was going to introduce you to, now will you just stop scaring her?" Sasuke rolled his eyes as Sakura looked at him and the director and giggled. "I've got the main female actress covered for you. Now who's my co-star and rival?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

Kozumi was about to open his mouth when a voice answered for him.

"I am,"

Sakura and Sasuke widened their eyes, the voice sounded so familiar to their ears and as they turned around, Sakura gasped as she saw who it was.

"Naruto…"

Jade clashed with cerulean blue as hate clashed with regret.

"Here are your scripts, filming will start tomorrow so memorize the first scene, alright?" Kozumi smiled gently at Sakura who smiled a small smile at him before accepting her script. "The highlighted parts are yours. But if you want, then study the other parts too so you know when to come in, well, then I'll leave you now, it was a pleasure meeting you Sakura-san," Kozumi smiled as he shook hands with her.

Sakura smiled back before turning around to Sasuke and Naruto who were in the midst of a staring contest. She smiled brightly at them, "Well then, let's go Sasuke-kun! Naruto, do you want to rehearse with us?" Sakura asked kindly as she smiled at the blonde boy. Naruto was about to say know when he caught Sasuke's intense gaze.

He inwardly smirked, knowing how much the Uchiha wanted him to say no. "Sure Sakura-chan! I'll come to your mansion in a bit! You guys go on ahead!" he outwardly grinned at Sakura who smiled back at him. "Alright then, I'll see you soon Naruto!" Sakura waved bye before heading to the car with Sasuke.

Sasuke looked back at Naruto, mouthing the words, "You better not do anything funny," to him before leaving with the pink haired girl. Naruto looked at his back as he and Sakura disappeared out the front door of the studio as his cerulean blue eyes flashed with anger as he clenched his hands.

"I'm only doing what you can't… teme…" Naruto murmured before walking out the studio as well.

Sakura looked at Sasuke, noticing that he was quiet the entire way to the car as he slammed the door shut pretty harsh. "Sasuke-kun… is something the matter?" she asked humbly, hoping not to get snapped at. Sasuke was about to answer in quite a cold tone until he saw worry in Sakura's eyes.

Sasuke sighed before placing a hand on her head and patting it through her black cap as best as he could before leaning over to her and wrapping an arm around her neck to pull her close to him. "Sasuke…?" Sakura murmured as Sasuke placed his head on the space between her shoulder and neck.

Sasuke closed his eyes as he murmured the words softly into her ears only, "Sakura… promise me that if there's anything I do that hurts you… you'll tell me… because I know there will be plenty of times where I do what I don't want to. Know that being my wife means getting hurt plenty of times… if you want to quit… then tell me right now before there's no turning back…" Sasuke leaned back to look into her eyes seriously.

Sakura blinked innocently before letting the information register in her head. She smiled softly at him and Sasuke was surprised when she placed a hand on his neck to pull him towards her as she placed a chaste kiss on his lips, leaning back a few millimeters to speak. "I'm sure… I'm already this far in this job to suddenly fall back. Besides… I could never leave you, Sasuke." it hurt her to say that this relationship between them was just a job, but it was reality.

Her thoughts carried her emotions off as she bit back what she couldn't say. 'You already mean too much to me for me to let go of you…' whether she thought of him as a friend or if she's actually… falling for him, she didn't know yet. But she knows that he was more than just her employer right now. 'What am I to you… Uchiha Sasuke?'

Meanwhile as the pinkette drifted off in her thoughts, our precious little heir finally realized something.

He, Uchiha Sasuke, second son of the multibillionaire, Uchiha Fugaku, brother to drop dead gorgeous Uchiha Itachi, son of the beautiful Uchiha Mikoto, brother to the slightly maniac Uchiha Shina…

Was officially falling for this woman- Haruno Sakura.

"So we'll each be recording at least 3 songs for the movie? But my voice is horrible!!" Sakura whined as she kicked her feet onto the mat of the car. Sasuke chuckled as he looked at the childish girl known as his fiancée. "Well I'll bet they don't want me to record anything once they hear my demo!" Sakura pouted.

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "Stop degrading yourself, I'm sure you'll sound fine. Everyone knows how to sing as long as they follow the melody correctly." Sasuke explained as he looked at the rear mirror to see if there was anyone as he switched lanes. Sakura sighed before clasping her hands together in a praying format.

"Oh! You make it sound so easy Uchiha Sasuke! Is there anything you can't do?" Sakura joked as she said the last part in a girly voice, Sasuke narrowed his eyes as she giggled, "Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing… but really, have you actually recorded an album or something before?" Sakura asked as she smiled brightly.

Sasuke smirked as he looked at her quickly before looking back at the road ahead, "You'd be surprised to learn that I have. I'm an actor Sakura, sometimes my roles require me to know at least some format of music," Sasuke said calmly as he turned left, sending Sakura sliding to the side a bit.

Sakura widened her eyes, "Eh?! Mou! I'm starting to think that acting isn't really for me… especially if it's involved with music! I took choir in fourth grade and I got a solo part for who knows why and in the middle of singing the chorus, my voice broke and I sounded like a dying something!" Sakura told as anime tears drifted down her cheeks comically.

Sasuke chuckled but just shook his head as he entered the Uchiha Mansion's entrance gate, he rolled down the window and looked at the guard. "Uchiha-sama, Haruno-hime, welcome home," the guard said politely as he pressed the button for the gates to open. Sakura blushed to be referred to as hime.

Sasuke rolled his eyes at the blushing girl that was so modest as he nodded at the guard before driving to the garage. The two got off the car as a butler bowed to them before taking the car to park it inside. Sasuke waited for Sakura to catch up as she got out after him.

"Okairinasai, Sasuke-sama! Okairinasai Sakura-hime!"

Sasuke nodded at the maids that were lined up in two rows at the door to welcome them. Sakura smiled at them, "Domo, tadaima," Sakura replied pleasantly as a younger maid blushed at the attention she was getting from the soon-to-be Uchiha mistress. "Is Misae in my room, Midori-san?" Sakura asked as the maid nodded hurriedly. Sakura thanked her before walking upstairs with Sasuke.

They weren't at the last step yet until a maid stopped short of her walking to peer at the door as the guard outside opened it for someone. Sasuke turned around uninterestedly as Sakura raised an eyebrow before looking at the door as well. A head of blonde popped out from the door and Sakura noticed him as- "Naruto!" she called from the staircase.

Sasuke inwardly cursed, wishing she didn't call him. Naruto looked up and grinned widely as he saw Sakura, but his grin dropped a bit when he saw Sasuke. He gave Sasuke a silent nod in which Sasuke returned unpleasantly. The maid bowed to Naruto, "Welcome, Naruto-sama," Naruto smiled at her in which she blushed a bright red.

Naruto walked up the staircase to catch up to Sakura and Sasuke. "So where are we going to practice? Sasuke-teme's room, or yours, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked as the grin returned to his face. Sakura smiled as she looked at Sasuke to decide. Sasuke mumbled a quiet 'my room,' before continuing upstairs.

Sakura smiled apologetically at Naruto before leaving him behind a bit to talk to Sasuke, she grabbed his arm as she didn't notice Naruto's jealous gaze at how close she was to the chicken butt-haired man. Sakura pouted at Sasuke as she leaned close to him so Naruto wouldn't catch what she was saying. "Be a little more welcoming would you? He's still a guest after all, he's your best friend too!" she hissed to him.

When he still didn't say anything, she put on her cutest face as she looked up at him with shining jade eyes, Sasuke strained to look away, "For me… Sa-su-ke-sa-ma?" Sakura said it half cutely and half seductively. Sasuke inwardly shivered in pleasure at how perfectly his name rolled off her tongue and how it turned him on when she added –sama to his name.

He looked away quickly, a blush forming on his cheeks, "Whatever…" Sakura beamed before leaning her head on his shoulder. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the two from behind as he stared in envy.

Mikoto could only gasp every now and then as she looked at Tsunade in horror. The elder woman sighed before shaking her head with her eyes closed. "I'm very sorry about my son, Mikoto-sama, but as long as Sakura-chan exists in this family of yours, he will do all he could to corrupt everyone further more. I don't know what his father has been teaching him but I have disowned him long ago," Tsunade whispered.

Mikoto shook her head as she placed a hand on Tsunade's shoulder comfortingly. "No need to be pained, Tsunade. It is not your fault Riku was raised the way he is, you divorced Orochimaru and Riku is under only Orochimaru's care, I am not trying to make you feel guilty, but this bullet definitely states that Riku is the possessor, Orochimaru doesn't use these initials and Riku is a pseudonym user," Mikoto said to her softly.

Tsunade smiled at her slightly before raising a hand to her forehead, "That boy… if there's one person he devotes himself to, it's Tsukasa. Ever since that kid Tsukasa has been around, Riku has been acting up and doing whatever Tsukasa orders. I overheard the two boys talking about someone that beat Tsukasa up for messing with his woman and I am guessing that must be Sasuke," Tsunade sighed.

Mikoto looked away painstakingly, "My goodness… Tsukasa… who are his parents again? Ah! Yes… Pein and Konan of course… how could I forget about them? It is not surprising that Tsukasa grew up to be a replica of his parents. Horrible, plain horrible people they are," Mikoto shook her head in disapproval.

Tsunade looked outside the window beside them, crestfallen as she took a small sip from her tea, "I was hoping my boy would grow up to be a doctor one like myself, not become an idiot scientist like his father, sometimes, I really forget why I married Orochimaru anyways, I should have known what the result of our child would be," Tsunade's gaze followed a butterfly outside.

Mikoto smiled, "You married him… because he was willing to give you the world," Tsunade and Mikoto looked at each other before smiling. Orochimaru was a tender subject for Tsunade ever since they divorced but there were many times where that snake-like man seemed to be the most perfect person on Earth.

Sakura smiled at the two men as they entered Sasuke's room, "Ano, please wait here for a little bit, I'll have the maids send up some drinks, any requests?" her eyes sparkled as she closed them to widen her smile even more. She had no idea why but she just felt her happiest today. Sasuke replied with iced water and Naruto said orange juice and Sakura smiled and nodded.

There was a deafening silence between the two before Naruto narrowed his eyes, not meeting Sasuke's gaze as he talked quietly for once, "Teme… do you really love her, or are you just using Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked, his eyes emotionless as he looked at the seemingly interesting carpet beneath him.

Sasuke didn't answer and Naruto growled dangerously, "You teme! How could you-!" he was cut off as his eyes widened when he heard what Sasuke said. "W-What…" Naruto murmured, thinking he was dreaming or something.

Sasuke looked at him seriously in the eyes before repeating what he said.

"I'm not going to lose her or leave her no matter what."

Naruto looked at him in the eyes with shock, all past hopes and determination of winning over that beautiful pink haired girl, crushed. Naruto stayed silent before an awkward laugh filled the room. Sasuke could only sit still as the blonde continued to laugh with pain.

"Haha…haha! Haha! You always get them huh? Ever since preschool… you've always taken what I wanted! You had my parents' attention as a prodigy, you had every girl's attention, you got awards for everything I tried for… and now… you got the woman of my dreams… someone so innocent and sweet and confident at the same time… you, Uchiha Sasuke…"

His sentence was left unfinished as he laughed before walking out of the room. He didn't reveal the thing he wanted to say at the end before until he was out of the doorway completely.

"Is just another actor…"

His words held a double sided meaning to it and he was about to walk forward until he nearly knocked into the awaiting Sakura that was carrying a tray of drinks. "W-Whoa!" Sakura cried out, she noticed Naruto's downcast look when he didn't even say sorry to her. "Naruto?" she whispered, her gaze followed to Sasuke's downcast position on the floor as well.

She bit her bottom lip before setting down the tray eagerly, grabbed her coat and said to Sasuke hurriedly, "I'll be back soon, Sasuke-kun!" Sasuke didn't reply as he looked at her run after his best friend and rival.

Sakura panted as she followed Naruto out of the garage where he harshly took the keys from the box with the keys. "N-Naruto!" Sakura cried out as she stopped, catching her breath before speaking to him as he was about to get his car. "Don't worry, Sakura-chan," he flashed her a weak grin.

"N-Naruto! Please! Stop! What's wrong?!" still no response from him.

He was about to open the door to his car until he was interrupted by her statement.

"Naruto no baka! Why are you and Sasuke the same?! You guys always have to keep everything to yourselves! How can I not worry when you two act like a bunch of 8 year olds?! Why can't you grow up and just tell people your feelings?!"

Sakura shouted from across the garage as the blonde stopped short. She breathed before walking over to him slowly. "Naru-!" she tugged on his sleeve but was shocked when he surprised her with a crushing hug. "N…Naruto?" she whispered as he hugged her tighter as tears spilled down his cheeks.

"I can't love…---!" Naruto exclaimed but Sakura couldn't catch the name he said lastly as her curiosity got the best of her.

"You can't love… who… Naruto?" Sakura asked quietly.

With one word and a serious look from the blonde, she felt as if her sanity was just sent straight to hell.

"You."

(Hits Naruto ferociously out of anger) Stupid Naruto!! Why do you have to be such a big obstacle between Sakura-chan and Sasuke-chan's relationship!??! DARN YOU!!
