CHAPTER 15 COVER

The background is a field of white flowers with Sakura in the center wearing a hot pink halter top summer dress and aquamarine flats with her hair cut to her shoulders with her bangs layered to the right side. Her eyes are closed to reveal light green eye shadow and light pink lip gloss. She has her arms stretched out and on either sides of her are Sasuke dressed in black jeans with a blue dress shirt completely unbuttoned, Itachi dressed in black jeans with a red dress shirt also unbuttoned, the two were facing her with their eyes closed and each of their arms wrapped around her waist. Behind her is a shadow of a man that had craned his head to be on her shoulders and his hands wrapped around her neck.

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 she became the hired wife.

CHAPTER 15

The door leading to Naruto's prison ward slammed open as a gruff-y looking man entered, he was muscular and tall with a scowl on his face. Underneath his eyes was a scar slashed straight across. He had a faded moustache and large blue eyes with red spiky hair. He was all in all quite refined looking when you look at him overall.

"What do you want with me you teme?" Naruto asked weakly as he pushed himself back against the wall. The man closed the door behind him before setting a tray of food onto the floor in front of Naruto. Naruto scowled and slightly kicked it away only to be slapped in the face by the man. He groaned before glaring at him. "Fuck you…" he spat.

The man growled before talking in a surprisingly smooth voice. "Fuck yourself blondie, we don't have sluts here to help you with that. Now eat up, it's probably going to be the only thing you'll be eating in weeks. Deprive yourself of energy if you want, just let me tell you that I'm one of the 'nicer' ones around here." He glared at Naruto before turning around and opened the door with a loud bang and left the room.

Naruto stared at the door for a long time before his gaze focused on the tray of food. Huh… for a place full of man sluts, they seemed to serve a good enough choice of food. Guess what?

Miso ramen.

He suddenly noticed something.

Aw shit… there's no chopsticks.

Hinata flipped through the pages of the latest book she was reading. She had been practicing her English and she wanted to focus on easier books first before delving into a pretty hard one. She was currently reading A Series Of Unfortunate Events: Book Three- The Wide Window. She was quite disgusted by the text of how most nearly everyone dies in the series but couldn't seem to put it down.

She heard the doorbell of the mansion ring as she looked up, her pretty silver eyes glinted in surprise, who could it be? She wasn't expecting visitors as early as 8:45 in the morning. She walked downstairs as a maid probably had already opened the door after she put down her book. Her quiet voice trailed out in the still asleep mansion. "Hafuku, who is it?" she asked as she stood on the last step of the flight of stairs.

The maid looked at her mistress and bowed her head quickly in respect before replying to her. "I don't know Lady Hinata, but she has pink hair and green eyes. Shall I let her in? She's looking for you." Hafuku reported to her. Hinata searched her mind for a bit as it was still early before she smiled comfortingly and nodded at the maid.

Hafuku nodded and opened the door wider for the visitor to come in. It was Sakura. And she wasn't looking too happy.

"What if I told you… that…" she whispered as she breathed out slightly husky air. He raised an eyebrow warily… she leaned in closer to him. "I wished…" her eyes closed slightly as his stayed wide open in alert. "That our… relationship… wasn't just…" he flinched, not knowing if this was going to turn out as he predicted.

"A job…" she finished as she closed the gap in between them, resting her lips on his.

Sasuke widened his eyes as he just sat there, not responding to her kiss as she leaned into him deeper. He felt it. Of course he did, he even tasted it, but he wasn't responding to it. It was soft and innocent plus slightly messy, probably her first time to initiate a kiss because he could tell her cheeks were a fiery red.

But right now he didn't care about the details of how she looked. He only cared about her semi-confession. She had just sort of admitted that she wished they were something more than just a 'camera couple.' She was wishing they were a 'Valentine's Dream' type of couple. He didn't know what to say back and when she did notice that he wasn't responding, she had welled up with tears.

She pulled back forcedly as she hid her eyes with the long sleeves of her hospital gown before she let herself say something childish. "I want… ice cream. G-Go get me some… please…" unlike other people that would have stared at her as if she was a freak, he had reacted quite normally to her sudden request as he stood up.

His bangs shadowed his eyes as he solemnly said, "Aa" before nearly running out the room, the door to the hospital room shut close as Sakura finally released her hands to let her tears flow down freely.

"I'm so stupid! I don't love him! I don't even like him! He's so stupid! He's not what I want! I want someone cute and kind with startling bright eyes and a warm smile that would make me melt! Not… a dark and handsome person that knows what I want just by looking at me! I don't want to fall for someone like that!! I want… I want…" right now she didn't know what to say as she broke down as a final thought came up, finishing her sentence.

Naruto…

Aijou growled menacingly as she rang the doorbell of the Uchiha Mansion. She rapped the door heavily, knocking on the door with her knuckles while ringing the doorbell. The door flew open to show the annoyed looking face of an old maid. "What do you- oh! L-Lady Aijou! I'm quite sorry! Please, come inside!" the maid backed down as Aijou stepped inside.

Her pleasant mood gone all these years, Aijou simply made her way up the stairs before stopping in front of Shina's room after a long walk. She twisted the doorknob and she saw a quiet looking Shina sitting at her table studying. Shina looked up in surprise at Aijou before speaking, "Aijou-chan, what's wrong?"

Aijou practically screamed, "What's WRONG?! EVERYTHING IS WRONG! MY BROTHER JUST GOT KIDNAPPED!" she looked at Shina who was incredibly shocked at being shouted at when she didn't really know what she did to make this girl apparently very mad. "Look at this note! LOOK AT IT!" Aijou slammed said note onto the table.

Shina's eyes hesitantly skimmed over the note before gasping.

We have the blonde boy. If you ever want to get him back, you better hand yourself over willingly Aijou-chan! By the way, this is Riku. Your lover. Remember to play nice!! Oh, and say a nice hello to Shina for me! I'll be watching you guys! And for your info, my servants aren't especially welcoming to him.

Shina looked at Aijou and stood up immediately. She took Aijou's wrist and looked at her with hardening eyes. "I'm so sorry Aijou…" Shina whispered as she remembered how the three of them first met. Or to put it exactly, how the five of them met.

Sasuke sighed as he entered his room, kicking a strand box in the side, the box slid a little before he collapsed onto his bed and grabbed his iPhone out. He punched in some numbers with his index finger softly before placing the phone next to his ear. The waiting tone beeped a few times before the other person picked up.

"Hello this is AX Wide Entertainment, manager and director Higurashi Kozomi speaking! Do you need something Sasuke-kun?"

Sasuke winced at the annoying and loudly booming voice of his director. "Higurashi… give me and Sakura a 3 week break." He said simply before he hung up on the man. He ignored the vibration when Kozomi called back. He just closed his eyes and lied on the bed. His mind drifted over to the kiss as he cursed.

"Kuso…"

A certain memory flashed in his mind as he remembered the exact words the person had spoken. It wasn't Sakura or anyone else for that fact but… he remembered that…

It was him that said this.

He repeated it aloud to himself.

"Don't leave me alone."

Dear whoever is currently reading this letter,

I am a very cruel mother that has left her daughter in a country far away from the one I am currently living in myself. I have experienced pain many times before and after, but I just hope my daughter won't have to experience the same things that I did. To my husband, I wish you the best of luck in your future with that woman you choose to love instead.

I know that I should be considered cruel and vain for leaving such an innocent and young girl to live by herself. My dear ex husband and to the dear man I now love… I am sorry for leaving this world and I considerably think that I truly have because this actually should not be opened until after the day I have died.

Whoever is now in possession of this letter, please pass on my messages to these people. To my sweet and cute daughter Haruno Sakura, I tell her that I love her a lot and I do think I did not make a mistake when I left her a few years back. Without me, she wouldn't have to suffer the same fate that I have. I thank the person with a good soul that is bringing her up right now.

To the man that will capture my daughter's heart, please do not break her. Please shield her from all that shun her, please protect her and love her and cherish her forever. Because if she loves you in the same way that you love her, then that must mean there is probably no other way for her.

And for my dearest lover, I must say I know you have your own family and it is worth it that I have faded. For you and my ex- I say the same thing to you both, because there was no other choice in my life…

"There was no other way, but to love you."

All of my heart,

Haruno Seru

P.S. I die because I want to live for you.

Quite a dramatic chapter, next chapter might be a bit longer if my writer's block lowers even more. I am sorry that I don't update as often anymore, but my life is just turning into a very big nearly K-Drama/Soap Opera. Details are none of your business but my life is just messed up right now.

Ask if you will and care, thanks for your concern but there will be no response to questions about my life off the internet. It's for me, my family, and my friends to know about. And sadly, not for my readers and reviewers. I hope everyone else's life isn't as bad as mine.

So, please review, maybe it'll do some good to my bad mood. Ugh… why can't I stay positive this month?

Love you all! BTW, more info about Best Dressed Heartbreak is in my profile. It's going to come out soon! But my main priority will still be to finish this story first and foremost:)

Lots of love,

XOXO Kaze-chan
