CHAPTER 12 COVER
Sakura is dressed in pink and white PJs consisting of a pink button up long sleeve and white PJ pants, she's curled up on her bed with a white blanket halfway covering her, covering up to her knees only and her arms were wrapped around a sleeping Sachi as well, dressed in a pair of red PJs and he was hugging his black teddy bear. Sasuke in a black t-shirt with navy PJ pants is looking at her with a smirk on his face as he lies on the bed beside the two sideways with his head resting on his hand while his elbow was propped up against the mattress. Misae is innocently sitting on the bed on the other side of Sakura while looking at Sasuke with her head tilted.
-Printed on the top of the cover in Old English Text MT is the title-
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.

CHAPTER 12
Was she smiling? No… she couldn't be, she wasn't. There's no way she would smile about this. The song was supposedly a happy one in Korean, the song 'Marry U' by Super Junior was playing as she was walking down the aisle with Kakashi leading her. She was dressed in a smile strapless white gown with a diamond necklace with matching earrings and a veil, her shoes was a pair of white high heels even if you couldn't see them.
Her hair was brought up in a simple bun with strands falling down to frame her face gently. There was no smile on her face and her eyes were emotionless as she looked in front of her, the only thing she saw was the priest smiling at her and Sasuke… looking at her intently with what was… softness in his eyes?
She blinked and as quickly as she saw the softness in his eyes, it disappeared as his eyes turned stone cold again. She pursed her lips, knowing this was the last sign telling her she could have no relationship with this man other than the relationship of an employer and an employee. She didn't know why, but secretly, deep down, she actually wanted more than just that with this man, Uchiha Sasuke.
She couldn't believe in just minutes, she would become an Uchiha, not a Haruno anymore, but an Uchiha. Uchiha Sakura, that is what she'll become, and what she'll be referred to will be 'Uchiha Sasuke's wife.' She looked down at the carpeted floor as her gaze shifted to that one of sadness. She felt like she was being used.
She looked up and instead of Sasuke, she saw a bubbly looking Sachi, standing up on a chair while smiling cutely. Sakura suddenly felt the biggest smile she's ever placed on in days being plastered onto her face as she let out a soft giggle at the sight of her soon to be son. Kakashi heard her and he smirked under that mask of his to know his daughter figure was finally happy.
The two finally stood at the front of the alter as Kakashi nodded at her before walking back to the benches. The priest looked at them before saying whatever priests say… "… Uchiha Sasuke, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, till death do you part?"
It was a Tuesday, at 12:34 p.m. when Uchiha Sasuke spoke the words he spoke.
"I… don't."
The crowd widened their eyes as the eyes of a certain blonde haired boy widened by a couple of inches.
(Insert the song 'Missin U' by Super Junior for effects:P)
Sakura turned her head to face him for the first time since she arrived at the alter. He wasn't surprises to see her mouth agape with her eyes wide open. "Sasuke…" she whispered as she searched his face for any reason of why he said what he did. She expected him to say yes and get this over with, not make it more complicated!
Sasuke nodded at her, his teeth clenched tightly as he opened his mouth to reason. "I have only known this woman for three weeks and I don't feel it is enough to marry anyone. I am postponing this wedding until further notice," he said before he looked at Sakura and back to Sachi before turning back ahead and walked off the alter and towards the door.
The audience was at a loss for words as Shina stared at them in shock. Sakura finally snapped out of her daze and quickly gathered her skirts as she ran to catch up with him. "Sasuke!" she shouted as he disappeared out the door.
Mikoto looked at Fugaku in shock before she broke into a full, big smile, "I think he's found her, Fugaku, the person he really cares for," Fugaku just sat still, his jaw clenched tightly.
"Oi, Sasuke!"
(Insert 'My Destiny' by DBSK/TVXQ)
Sakura called out one more time as the two reached the balcony of the tall chapel. He stopped at the railing and turned around to face her. Sakura caught her breath and panted as she looked up at him. "Why did you do that?" she asked him, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She wanted to know though.
He looked at her as he spoke, she couldn't read what he felt as easily as he could to her. "You didn't want to, right? I don't want to do something against another person's will unless truly needed. Besides… why would I want to marry a woman that's mad at me?" Sasuke smirked a bit as she pouted. She smiled as she punched him lightly on the arm though.
Sakura sighed as she switched her gaze to the horizon in front of them, a small smile softly adorning her lovely features. "Arigato, Sasuke… you're probably one of the most cherished people in my life at this moment. I don't know how it would've been if you had said I Do. Demo, I'll keep my promise no matter what. I'll stay by yours and Sachi's side no matter what," Sakura said as she tilted her head to smile at him.
She wasn't surprised when she felt herself being crushed against his chest as he hugged her, wrapping two strong arms around her as she smiled and hugged him back, closing her eyes, understanding that this was their moment… the moment where they could pretend as if they really did love each other.
"Arigato… Sakura."
"Iie… arigato, Sasuke."
'This is how it's supposed to be… a neutral relationship… this is… perfect.'
Very short chapter but I think you guys deserved it after giving me only 14 reviews!! (pouts before giggling) Just kidding! Although it was only 14 reviews, I should be glad some of you guys even reviewed at all, but this time, 20 reviews, please?
