Everything in my life

by Porcelain.Memories

An ORPHAN child with a dark past,HARUNO SAKURA is acclaimed to be the BEST cold-blooded CIA AGENT and ASASSIN, training under OROCHIMARU. But the price she paid was loneliness and inability to love. That, until she is being entrusted with a crucial MISSION:protect SASUKE and his reputed company from a secret exclusive CRIMINAL organization,while posing as his personal MAID.

21. Falling for each other - who is Sasuke?

CHAPTER 20

If there have been another person alive in that moment that was more shocked than Sakura, she would have laughed right in his face, while fixing the small document in Suigetsu`s expectant hand with her emerald eyes, like she was Superman in front of the Kryptonite, not able to raise her own trembling hand and take back the compromising document.

There, in his the hand of the smirking Hozuki heir, was no other than her CIA card, along with the proof of how bad has she screwed the mission up, revealing her identity to no other than Sasuke`s other imbecile friend.

But apparently, that one was shoving his nose into other people`s business. For the Sound agent, it was more than obvious how did he find out about her private document.

"You…roamed through my stuff." Of course, she was shocked, petrified, but no way in hell was the jadeite eyed woman going to falter in front of a man that would be forced to not disclose her, when necessary.

Suigetsu couldn't have found a more appropriate moment to let out a loud laugh, throwing his head back, his whole body trembling. In his mind, the way Sasuke`s so called maid was standing her ground was absolutely memorable.

The mixture of both fear and anger into those sparkling emerald eyes that were glaring daggers into his skull like she was daring him to go tell someone and expect to make it out alive, were the solid proof of the reason why the shark faced man`s best buddy`s was so fascinated by her.

Suigetsu was right, Sasuke had good eye for details. And as he has just found out, their common blonde idiot friend also had a thing for the undercover agent.

The Hozuki heir would have had no problem in admitting he too felt attracted by her, but he was more superficial in terms of lusting after her gorgeous frame, than her other qualities.

"Can`t help it, I am a curious man. It comes as part of the job…I guess."

The pink dyed busted agent shook her head in disbelief, brushing her slightly curled messy hair with her fingers, rolling her eyes.

Call it assassin instinct, but there was something in those pearl blue eyes of his that didn't seem right with her and she couldn't explain the stinging sensation in his brains upon thinking there was something much more with the man in front of her that she was able to see.

"Haven't you heard that curiosity has killed the cat?" A delicate smirk graced Sakura`s rosy soft lips upon seeing the almost appalled expression of the young heir upon realizing the meaning behind her words.

She was a CIA agent and the organization was also famous for its dark history and the scandals behind the closed doors, expertly masked by the pretense of maintaining the world`s order, peace and security.

They knew all to well how to deal with the all too curious people, that meddled into their business, just like Suigetsu.

But the Hozuki heir managed to surprise the emerald eyed agent once again with a large smirk of its own like he was expecting such an open proclamation of war against him, not in a bit impressed. "I do but so as you know…it has nine lives."

Sakura has not removed her collected expression on her graceful features, but inside she was visualizing the man in front of her with a beautiful bruised eyed to mach the purpleish hue in his irises, a swollen cheek to perfectly complement the bumps in his empty head from her knuckles and a foot print straight into his butt.

What poison was Karin telling her Sasori lacked test subjects for? She had a future willing candidate grinning right in front of her.

"I am ready to take the risk."

The pink haired girl was debating if she should drug him into forgetting everything, CIA had such drugs in its arsenals and if the governmental organization didn't have, her Papa Orochimaru sure as hell didn't lack ideas in that department.

But she wanted to make sure of his intentions. Sasuke`s friend was an imbecile, probably having a neuron more than Naruto, but that only counted when they went out to drink and shared the bill, because even though he could have called the Uchiha right in the moment he discovered her secret identity, for some unknown reasons he didn't, instead he came straight to her, willing to talk and sort things out.

So if the young heir would want to try a compromise with her, for the sake of the mission, the jadeite lady would listen to whatever he had to say.

"Then let me in and let us talk. I assume you don't want curious ears to hear us."

Suigetsu had his gaze fixed right on those impossibly glimmering tourmaline orbs, blazing with deep insight and self discipline, amazed by how easily she managed to pull herself together and act professional.

So Sasuke`s maid was not only a CIA agent, but she was apparently a good one as well.

Of course the Hozuki had a ton of question to address her, that was the reason he came there after all, but being aware of who she truly was changed the way he should view her.

Sakura stepped aside, pulling the door open, silently inviting him inside, but her body language betrayed the fact that she was not that pleased with the current situation.

They both got inside the spacious villa, with Sakura asking him to take a sit in the living room, while she was in the kitchen preparing some coffee.

She came back after 5 minutes, finding an expecting Suigetsu thrown in the comfortable couch, acting natural and carefree, like he was in his own place, ready for cracking the TV with some lame video game he liked. She truly didn't like this one`s attitude in the bit.

But maybe a man that didn't go and reveal her secret job to everyone he encountered was not that bad after all.

She was not going to judge him harshly, based of unfounded information she deemed real, like the Akatsuki agents.

The pink haired maid took a sit on the couch as well, keeping a safe distance between them, that didn't go unnoticed by her conversation partner, but he refrained from saying anything. He too knew when to be serious.

"You wanted to talk. So talk." Gracefully as a well mannered lady, Sakura took a sip of the hot coffee, not removing her emerald eyes from the clear blue ones in front of her, turning her body so that she could properly face him.

She didn't need to maintain any servile or humble posture in front of a man that had discovered who she was.

Suigetsu was nibbling his lower lip with the long canine, like a true shark man thinking about how funny would it have been for Sasuke to find out about her.

In all honesty, the young heir was burning with the need to call his best friend and let him know about how much of a blind imbecile he truly was, not to discover such a thing, or even be aware of all the weird things surrounding his maid.

"No my dear, the one to talk is going to be you. And I must confess, I really like long stories, so don't refrain from giving me any detail."

"Hahahaha…no." It was absolutely impossible for Sakura to contain a small laugh upon hearing the guts of the man in front of her, like they were there to discuss forecast and knitting techniques.

And the tone in his voice like he was entitled to get al the answers he wanted was something that spoke volumes about his attitude towards things.

He shared this particular trait with his darker friend, because both of them expected to get everything they pleased no matter the consequences, but one of them was more cunning and subtle.

Suigetsu raised an inquisitive sharp eyebrow at the woman`s way of talking and handling the matters.

She was so reminiscent to Sasuke in more than one way it was almost too good to be true, how the two of them could have been such a perfect match, without even trying.

After having a conversation with his friend Naruto about the course of events that would come, he realized that probably divulging the concealed identity of the beautiful woman would somehow ruin whatever relation the two of them shared.

"Then I am going in for the kill. What is a CIA agent doing here from all the places, posing as Sasuke`s maid?"

"This is not your business. What I am really interesting in is why have you searched through my belongings?"

"You think like an agent all right which is absolutely lovely, but I am not here to play James Bond.

I want to know your part of the story before I go straight to the Mangekyou and put an end to this deception."

Sakura`s garnet confident stare darkened upon hearing the not so ingenious threat in the Hozuki`s speech.

Was he there to talk to her or sell her drugs? Because his manner of speaking was making it seem like he was a serial criminal in search for followers.

All the while talking to him she kept getting alerting messages into her brain that something was not right.

Suigetsu was not just a curious man who would go as low as to search into a stranger woman`s things, searching for thongs and other underwear related items, like pubescent youngsters that have discovered they have a dick and a pervert mind to add to the joy.

"Are you threatening me into exposing my identity to Sasuke? Please…as if he was going to ever believe such a story."

"HAHAHA…let us see how are you going to explain how all the things that have no sense when it comes to you and if he is going to believe you, then it is quite certain either he doesn't really have a brain and some invisible aliens took over his head controlling him, or he feels something for you and he is willing to overlook such a shocking news."

The reddened face of the lady in front of him and the way she let her intense stare fall on her lap for a brief, before darting back to him, not wanting to reveal her uncomfortable situation was more than solid proof of the fact that the pale eyed man hit the nail on the head.

"I would tell you to either go ahead and reveal him everything, or go fuck yourself, but I realize that you being here means you are not just interested into hearing more about the reason why I am here."

"Huh…I see why he likes you. You are smart…much smarter than all his previous women.

And I must confess…man were they many." Of course it was not necessary for the shark faced Hozuki heir to slip such a juicy gossip between his words, but he did it on purpose.

He didn't even need to hear from Naruto about the newfound feelings towards each other, relating his buddy and the pink haired agent, but he had to make absolutely sure.

"I am not here to hear about his agenda, of that I am certain myself. So my question still stands: what stopped you from going straight to that idiot and reveal everything?"

Another bark coming from Suigetsu. Aw man, hearing a woman cursing his playboy of a friend was pure gold, because she was not damn gorgeous looking, but she was cute when pouting like that as well.

And even if she spoke about him like his friend was trash, her tone had an unusual gentleness and warm in it that didn't fall into the hating category. Interesting.

"Actually…I think that would be me." Another voice joining the conversation made the both Sakura and Suigetsu turn their heads behind them and let their gazes fall on the blonde Akatsuki agent.

Suigetsu nodded slightly in acknowledgment, having a brief eye contact with his friend, not in the bit surprised by his unexpected appearance, but Sakura`s jaw hit the floor and she almost dropped the cup of coffee in shock.

She didn't even hear him entering the house. "He is part of the CIA duh…"

"Naruto? What are you doing here?"

Ok, so Sakura was totally confused. Just what in the world was Naruto doing there as well and moreover, why did he seem to know everything about that as well?

Oh really now…it didn't take a genius to put two and two together.

Sakura darted her emerald orbs from the sun kissed Akatsuki to his friend, a knowing look on his eyes. Sasuke`s friends were weirder than hers. And that was already a bit too forced to begin with.

The always happy sun kissed man rubbed the back of his head, closing his eyes and giving her a wide grin, apologetically.

He took small steps towards the pair on the couch, sitting down on the armchair, facing them both.

"I am sorry to have scared you, Sakura-chan, but you know the Teme keeps a key of his back door hidden behind the cactuses so I let myself in."

A pair of beautiful shaped eyebrows rose up in surprise. "No he does not have a spare key hidden in the bushes."

"Well yeah…I didn't say he was aware of it."

"….huh?!"

The blonde idiot pulled out a small silver key from his pocket, raising the small object in front of his cerulean crossed eyes, presenting it to his small audience like it opened the Gates to Heaven.

"I made a copy without him knowing."

A pair of two dumbfounded eyes were watching them like he grown a beard and a pair of horns. It was Suigetsu who pointed a finger at the small object, a comical look on his face.

"Dude…that is…brilliant! Why didn't I know about this, we could have come here and eat his food for free and drink that expensive wine he keeps secluded into his office!"

Sakura snorted loudly crossing her arms. "PFFF yeah…good luck in passing his electromagnetic field. At least dying drunk of expensive beverages is a happy sort of leaving this world."

"Drink his beverages? Man that was low, even for you and you have the word low written on your birth certificate as the blood type.

I say, we come here and throw the wildest parties and make ourselves a reputation!"

The sun kissed Akatsuki member was rubbing his chin intently, like he was explaining Einstein`s mass-energy equivalence to the two stunned people in front of him.

Suigetsu raised an eyebrow as his friend`s ideas. What could come out of that empty head of his troublesome friend never ceased to amaze him.

And the snow haired man was slapping himself for not thinking about the brilliant idea himself. "And how exactly is that different from my idea and not just as low, pray telling me?"

"Because if there is a party, then you invite more people and if there are more people means they were all going to drink Teme`s wine and so you are not the selfish man you are, but a generous one because you share it with the other unfortunate souls as well, duh!"

Suigetsu let his head hit the sofa`s headrest, covering his eyes with his hand, laughing like crazy, tears streaming from his eyes.

"HAHAHAH…Dude…this is like silently asking him to chop off your balls with a meat cleaver and throw it to that stupid angry big Pitbull that always runs after me whenever I come here drunk in the dawn."

Sakura, who was busy rubbing her emerald eyes with her fists, not believing what the hell was happening there, got the opportunity to join the intellectual conversation with a remark of her own. "Did you say Pitbull? Oh my God that fucking dog has trashed my clothes when I first came here!"

Both the men were eying her in what looked like pity and understanding. So the creature really had something against all the people from the universe…or those that were close to Sasuke.

"Really? I guess that was quite the meeting. What did Sasuke say?"

The Sound agent would never be able to forget the look her boss had when they first met, because he was basically melting rocks and made meteorites fall from the sky with the look he welcomed her with.

He was not that impressed by her performance. "I say he was probably asking himself what would people say about one piece of a hanged pink dyed maid on his front porch."

It was Naruto the one to give her a thumb up, grinning like he hasn't just trespassed his friend`s private property, laughing at her misfortune.

"Don't worry Sakura-chan, that is the exact attitude he had upon meeting all of us.

You should have seen him in elementary school bwhahaha some twerp was staying on the same desk as him, eying him strangely having the audacity to ask Teme if he was brooding constantly because he was possessed by something Evil and you know what he answered?

That the Devil didn't have the guts to possess him because…he lacked hatred!"

The was a roar of laughter heard from the Uchiha mansion in that moment, because Sakura absolutely couldn't stop her laughter and when the other two buffoons have joined the chorus, that made it three mental deranged people echoing from the stoic man`s home.

"HAHAHA…I can totally imagine him saying something like that!"

Of course, Sakura was well aware of the attitude her boss had upon meeting other people, especially those who he deemed unimportant which made it like 99% of the World`s population, but hearing bits of his past was truly entertaining and her CIA colleague`s energy and humor was viral.

But…as much as the emerald eyed lady would like to bash on his boss more, she knew there was a situation expecting to be dealt with, so she composed herself, brushed some tears of laughter from her sparkling eyes and turn around to face the man that had found out about her secret.

"As much as I entertain the idea of trashing Sasuke`s house, I think we should resume our conversation."

The two other men in the room ceased their good time and went silent upon sensing the serious tone in the only female occupant of the living room.

When Sakura was in agent mode, the aura around her changed dramatically as well, imposing respect. Is a trait she intently worked on during her living with Tsunade and Orochimaru.

"Naruto, I would take a guess and say your friend here knows about you as well, since you were the one to convince him not to confess my secret life to my boss."

A pair of garnet hard eyes were cast upon a pair of deep sea inquisitive ones, silently asking him to confirm the suspicion.

The Akatsuki agent nodded once, smiling at her.

"Yeah, that's true. But I must say, it was the idiot over there that first call me to get-together and you should know, it is totally out of his character."

The pink haired maid return her attention to the said man, that was getting comfortable in the sofa, beside her, spreading his arms on the headrest, feet on the expensive glass table.

"Really? But why? I don't want to offend you Suigetsu, but you totally appeared as the type of guy to go shout it out loud."

The Hozuki hair bit his lower lip, then smirked in understanding. Yes, she got that right, he entertained the idea to go and tell everyone he knew such hot piece of gossip, but he knew he was an adult, not a teenager and so he should act upon age. Plus…

"I am not going to take back the fact that I consider you a really sharp woman Sakura, for your deep insight is impressive, and the fact that you have successfully kept it hidden from a genius like Sasuke speaks volumes. But…"

A brief gaze to the golden haired CIA agent and a small nod in acceptance was all that Suigetsu needed to go on with his own confession, after the small pause he made in his speech.

The pink haired beauty that was eying him expectantly didn't interrupt him, for she sensed there was much more to come.

"As I say…it is part of my job to make sure I am aware of all the details and not overlook anything, before I let actions speak for myself."

The emerald eyed woman furrowed her elegant eyebrows in confusion, not quite catching the meaning of the white haired man, or what did he want to prove.

Was he just bragging about how smart was he to go involve another person in the story or he was just that dumb, like her raven haired boss always said?

"I don't understand what are you talking about, although I wanted to ask you about what exactly did you mean with the job part…are you talking purely on amiability or there is something that slips from my mind?"

Instead of wasting unnecessary time in explaining her the situation, Suigetsu pulled out his wallet taking out a small plastic document, wordlessly urging the stunned woman to take it ,with an upward movement of his hand towards her.

Delicate fingers took the object, letting her jadeite astute orbs rest on the contents, not even bothering to conceal her utter shock upon seeing what purpose did the small document served.

She raised her head and fixed the man in front of her, not quite sure of what should she tell him.

Naruto was eying Sakura really amused, he too having a similar expression on his tanned face when finding out first, only he was failing miserably in keeping his cool.

Suigetsu grinned widely waving his hand in her direction like woman in love sending goodbyes to her enrolled in the naval forces gone to war husband.

"Is this real, or have you ordered online, because I have seen those fakes children use to play with, and I must confess they managed to impress me."

The Hozuki heir let out a loud laugh, visibly entertained by the beautiful lady`s antics. His ego suddenly burst at the idea of being able to impress a CIA agent like her with his background.

"I would have asked you the same thing, but I will not question your experience in the field of making the difference between authentic and counterfeit."

A small feminine laugh graced the two heir`s ears, followed by a shake of a head, small rose curls winding following the motion and adding to her charms.

The same thought crossed Naruto and Suigetsu`s minds right then in the form of jealousy on their common friend`s pure luck to have encountered such a fine lady.

A graceful hand was uplifted in the direction of the Hozuki heir, accompanied by an enchanting genuine rosy smile to add to the newfound information.

That was truly something she would not have expected. Indeed…Sasuke was surrounded by interesting people, just like him.

"This is sudden and totally unanticipated, but all that is left for me to do is to salute your versatile demeanor and properly express my delectation to meet you, agent Hozuki."

Instead of grating the charming woman in front of him with a hand shake like she would have expected, Suigetsu did a very unforeseen gesture in gently taking a hold of the fragile hand and placed a small kiss on the smooth skin, like a true gentleman, slightly startling Sakura, but she accepted the etiquette.

"Au contraire my dear, the pleasure is all mine. No need to be that formal though, we are not in the office now so a friendly environment would be beneficial for the tree of us."

The sharked face agent titled his head to act like he was disclosing some hidden alien message to the pink haired maid.

"Besides…don't forget we have a pure idiot in the form of my friend Naruto over there, whose brain cannot process more than once sentence at once and that should include at least one linking word."

"HEY! The pure idiot Naruto is in the room you know and let me tell you my vocabulary contains more than three words you motherfucker."

Naruto was flailing his hands in the air dramatically, pointing his middle finger in the direction of a smirking Suigetsu. Sakura found herself enjoying the company of the two men. But of course, she was still stunned.

"I must say dude…you totally finished your stock of big words with that sentence." Another round of fun and laughter, but that time the men in question joined the other two people.

"No really, you…I don't know where to even start from. An Interpol agent really? What office?"

"Organized crime and Maritime piracy, which works out just fine you know…my parents have a ship company that delivers goods all around the world. It makes the job easier."

"Nah…he is just a sailor with a wrecked ship the size of his dick, but he is quite good in making the picture bigger than it is."

"Forget my previous statement, this one epic fail is your most shrewd argument, but I totally sense your butthurt in this."

Naruto crossed his arms in front if his broad chest, having a dumb expression on his face. "Butthurt? On you? You do realize I am a special CIA agent right?"

"Who cares? I bet they all make fun of you. Don't tell me they use you as human target during sparring trainings?"

A pillow was thrown in the direction of the laughing Suigetsu, but of course he successfully avoided a hit, by catching the silk soft cushion.

Sakura was busy laughing at the two friends, not believing how similar to their own little family they were in acting friendly towards each other.

Both were really important tough people, but the way they childishly expressed their cordiality was refreshing.

"So Naruto did you know about Suigetsu`s secret identity or have you just found out?"

"Actually when this future dead man over there called me yesterday to meet and told me he discovered your secret CIA identity, it was me who told him that we work in the same branch and asked him to shut his mouth and don't say a word about that, because I will beat the crap out of him and make him confess he was high. He tends to slip nonsense like this when intoxicated."

A pair of plump petal rose lips parted in awe at Naruto`s honest confession, not quite believing an Akatsuki member went that far to cover for her, more than once.

"You mean…you endangered your own mission just to take my side?"

"Of course Sakura-chan. Didn't I tell you I will never let something harm you? I am a man of my words."

A silly wide grin revealing his pearl white teeth warmed Sakura`s heart to the point she herself couldn't contain a beam on her graceful features.

That man was truly different from all the other Akatsuki members and his candid feelings towards the people he deemed important was impressive.

To be able to nurture such deep connection in their area of expertise was remarkable and it was in that moment the Sound agent realized the emotional intelligence of the so called dobe.

He lacked mathematical and logical thinking all right, but he was really sharp when it came to perceive things around him.

"Unbelievable…but thank you, honestly, it is the sweetest thing someone has ever done for me."

Not wanting to be a hypocrite Sakura contained longing to go there and pull the sun kissed tanned man into a bear hug.

She started to grow really fond of him of course, as a friend. She knew all to well they will never cross the nonphysical love, since her heart was itching for his mysterious raven haired friend, that was waiting for her to come.

"I must say dude you totally got me on this one.

When you told me there is something really serious you have to say I was ready to jump from my sit and warn you to not tell me you turned out gay or grew a pair of wings, because that would have cramped my image really bad."

"Bah…yeah, and when you told me you work for the INTERPOL Department in Tokyo I was ready to check on my calendar and make sure in is not April 1st.

You are basically an idiot to the point you have made a statement out of your stupidity. How the hell did they hire you in the first place?"

"BHAHA I could say the same about you. Maybe because if we die, there would be not loss for humanity, because it doesn't lack imbeciles at all."

"Soooo….when you two found out about each other`s secret…you decided to keep mine as well? Because I assume you are not going to tell Sasuke about that…"

Of course Sakura knew all too well that from the moment Naruto opened his mouth to talk, her secret was safe, after all they were all in the same boat and it was totally against their rules to disclose the identity of the other agents.

CIA and INTERPOL had tight connections. She was quite surprised she hasn't heard of him being an agent so far and no one deemed important to announce her as well.

"Relax gorgeous, no one is going to announce Sasuke about how much more interesting you really are, although I am really curious if at least this level of shock would put another emotion beside boredom and apathy on his emo always grieving ugly face."

Of course Suigetsu was only going to reveal everything if he found out to be something that could have been harmful for his friend, but a CIA agent working undercover meant anything but. Although, he was slightly curious about what exactly her mission really was.

"If I am not too curious, why are you working for him undercover?"

Of course the unavoidable question was about to come sooner or later, but no matter how close the two organizations really were, Sakura had a secret mission to take care of and that meant no one was supposed to find out.

Although she could have slipped a bit of information to the newfound agent because she too had something to ask him and the fact that he was there saved her a lot of trouble.

"I am afraid I cannot give you any detail of my mission the reason obvious, but I am here to protect him.

I am sure you are well aware of all the crimes going on around among the important CEOs and heirs and the number raised alarmingly in the past months."

Suigetsu nodded once in understanding, his blue purple eyes resting on the stunning emerald ones in assurance. He too had a complex case to work on and couldn't have agreed more on the matter.

"I see. Well what can I say, with two agents to look out for him, that eternal player of a so called CEO is lucky. Man why in the world all the gorgeous women only gravitate around him? I would not mind some protection myself hehe."

"But you are an agent as well, why would you need someone to take care of you anyways?"

Of course the less virgin maid didn't catch the meaning of the innuendo and that made the two heirs to throw their heads back and laugh full heartedly, sharing the similar belief of how cute the lady really was.

"God you are truly something I swear. Naruto was right, I don't know just what exactly are you supposed to do, but there is no other woman more fit to stay beside him which makes me ask you…"

the Hozuki heir pursed his lips, rubbing his chin, appearing to imitate a man in deep thinking. "how is life with Sasuke, huh? Something spicy to let us know?"

A knowing wink threw in her direction from the visibly entertained Suigetsu made Sakura`s shimmering jadeite eyes to fall on her lap, her cheeks getting an interesting shade of tomato red. It was enough to confirm his suspicion.

"Oh man something did happen between you?"

Suigetsu couldn't help but get closer to the shy uncomfortable pink haired agent and envelop her in a brotherly embrace, like he was the father that found out about his daughter`s secret affair…with a man that run away with the circus.

She did nothing to push him aside, because his flirty attitude lacked emotion.

"N-no…why would you say such things? I am here to solely keep an eye on him…that`s all."

"That my dear…I find it hard to believe besides…look at you, you cannot even face me properly when speaking about that.

But I can totally understand you, his pretty ass attracts a lot of attention.

Honestly, if you apply some lipstick that mouth of his and dress him in a pretty gown, I might consider the idea of making him my company to the upcoming Ball."

Suigetsu`s confession only made the three of them burst in a crises of laughter, probably the same thoughts of an onyx eyed Uchiha outshining all the ladies out there crossing their much to insane minds at the moment.

And the fact that the shark faced heir looked dead serious was making tears come down from their shut eyes.

For some unknown reason, the emerald eyed maid found herself having fun in their company, although she was not a fan of Suigetsu in the very first place, giving him a chance to redeem himself in her eyes was not a bad decision.

And he came out clean and confessed his own identity to her which only assured her of his genuine intentions.

Besides, although she was not close to them to begin with, Sakura was able to experience a whole new world since she came to Tokyo in terms of strong feelings and undying emotions.

Not only she found out that love was the most complex feeling in the Universe that one would probably not have enough lives to grasp the entire meaning and experience all its joys, but she has discovered there were people she was able to connect with and they were accepting her as part of their tight circle, not judging.

"I…am not going to comment on that one." Of course Sakura found it funny the way his friends were badmouthed him, but the image of Sasuke`s raw masculinity and enchanting features made it hard for her to picture him in another context than pure sensuality and lust, given the fact that she had deeper feelings for him.

"Suigetsu, stop making Sakura-chan nervous and stop touching here you second in line bastard." Naruto stood up, threatening his laughing friend with what he hoped was a frightening face. That only made his audience laugh out more. Who could have taken the Akatsuki agent serious when he looked like that?

"Dude, stop being a possessive bitch and go bite my ass. Besides, our CIA colleague over here is not interested in your dull sun flower shaped figure, she is obviously into bad guys that might kill you in your sleep like Sasuke, aren't I right Sakura?"

The said woman took a pillow and covered her face in shame. Just what the hell was he talking about?

Was she that much of an easy to read idiot? Anko`s words once again rung into her ears. If she wasn't able to learn more of her body reactions, she was going to be an easy prey.

Although the mockery was obvious and the vile intent was missing from the two people`s intentions. They were two clowns that were acting accordingly.

There was a piece of information that made the tiny wheels in Sakura`s mind work intently and that being Naruto having a copy of Sasuke`s door, without him knowing about the fact.

When she entered the office after the four dead suspects barged into the house and replaced everything, her boss told her he had three suspects in his mind regarding who of them planned everything, and one was Naruto.

She threw a quick glance at the laughing annoyed looking CIA member like wanting to make sure she was just paranoid.

Was she that naïve to be played out by him or it was just her imagination? There was another secret agent among them for Heaven`s sake so the chances of both of them being played by him were low.

"God, what is wrong with you guys? We are in no kind of relationship!"

"Oh, so you already call it a relationship huh? I like where this is going." If there was a thing to really entertain Suigetsu was his friend`s women and relationships and this one pink haired woman was definitely something to look out for.

"I swear you are just like my best friend Karin, because she too has this bad habit of jumping into conclusions when it comes to my private life.

You know there is a good reason why people call it private, either ways all the houses would have been made of glass instead of brick walls."

"Karin? Is she just as hot as you? If she I a natural red head tell her I have a really big bad in my room and I wouldn't mind to spare her some space." The Hozuki heir winked in her direction, almost wanting to snort loudly at the dumbfounded expression on the pink haired agent`s face.

"You know…actually she is a natural red headed and she is crazy as hell. Maybe the two of you should meet one day, I am sure you are totally her type."

"You mean she loves well built, sharp and prominent gentlemen like me?"

"No, I mean masochistic bizarre fish looking men, who sport the attitude of mental hospital runaways in search for a place to go and practice sadistic sex related rituals."

Naruto fell of the armchair, not able to contain his stomach cramps, hitting the floor with his fist, laughing like he has seen a monk, covered in Hawaiian garlands dancing Macarena.

Suigetsu looked like he had heart attack, covering his chest with his hand, like he looked deeply offended.

"Man, she totally described you in a nutshell bhwhahaha."

"Hey…in my defense, I am a mental sadistic with a big heart. Besides…you know her friend as well?"

Sakura raised an eyebrow, eying Naruto intently. She knew exactly what kind of relationship were those two relatives having, although the sun kissed rolling on the floor Akatsuki member expressed his will to befriend the eccentric female.

"Yeah she is my cousin, Uzumaki Karin, but she hates me. Maybe that is why I didn't introduced her to you on the very first place. That and the idea of becoming part of your family is horror to begin with."

Suigetsu had a questionable look on his face. "You mean you are ashamed with the idea of becoming my relative? Then why do you say we are brothers then? And…oh my god I must meet that woman!"

"Dude…I will totally not let my beloved cousin in your perverted filthy hands, because heaven forbids do I know just what purpose do they serve and besides…people finding out about us becoming relatives would blemish my reputation."

"What reputation? Everybody knows you are a sugar rushed child trapped in the body of an adult. Although, no one would ever believe you are not under age. And so as you know, I know how to properly treat a lady?"

"Do you really? Because I must warn you I tend to be really aggressive when it comes to my sister and hell I would punch the living daylights out of anyone who dares to wrong her in any ways."

Sakura had her suspicions upon this particular Hozuki heir because just as Sasuke, his reputation of a big playboy was quite known. Although…Karin would quite like him. He was mad as fuck and hot as well. Totally her style.

"Please don't refrain to become aggressive honey, but I must warn you I like it rough and kinky, after all I already admitted I am a little sadist and unconventional in bed."

Suigetsu even whispered the words just to prove his point, but all he managed to do was to amuse the other two people that were listening to his disgusting honest confessions.

Naruto took a sit on the same sofa his friends were occupying shoving Suigetsu`s hand over Sakura`s shoulders, replacing the offending hand with his own, pulling the smiling woman into his arms, protectively like he was shielding her from the danger his imbecile friend was not.

He was not a bad man, only a little insane. But that was no problem because that particular trait was something they all shared, Sasuke included.

Screw that, that man was mad as hell, totally surpassing them all and Naruto was well aware of the fact. Sakura as well.

"Dude, no one wants to hear about your poor unfortunate neuron in search of happiness, it is too revolting that law doesn't forbids people like you to reproduce, besides, you offend Sakura-chan`s delicate ears with such stupid things."

"BHAHAHA…man the only thing that has a sole neuron is your totally lacking brain and that one is made of a piece of ramen and an egg on the top.

Now I get why you never stop talking Naruto, it is because the void in your head would have sudden implosion, so keep that mouth of yours open all the times."

Sakura threw her head back, leaning on the Akatsuki blonde heir`s hand, totally enjoying the bickering between the two friends.

They were absolutely priceless. She was reminded of her other dear friends Sasori and Hidan, for they had the same relationship.

"I am stunned you even know such technical words to begin with Suigetsu. Maybe the provided you a brain when you joined the INTERPOL for God only knows you totally lack one.

Dude you should walk with an anchor tied on you shoes to prevent your empty head to rise in the air, like a hot air balloon."

"Naruto, if I am going to beat you to a pulp you would say I am an ill mannered man who doesn't know how to act in front of a lady."

"Do as you wish but don't call me to come and take you from Everest where you are going to land." Naruto declared solemnly, like he was finishing his speech on Miss Universe final contest.

"You do realize the fact that it is impossible to get to Everest in an air balloon, right? And you call me an empty headed?"

"I don't care. It is not because of the hot air balloon, it is your stupidity the one that will get you to the top Suigetsu."

"Man you are…I cannot even start to describe you…just…"

"In all honesty…I find it difficult to imagine how is Sasuke able to keep up with the two of you…especially when you guys hang up together."

Sakura found it really funny for her to listen to their friendly retorts, but she knew what kind of man her boss really was. Maybe he chose opposite people in his life in need for completion.

It was Naruto who stated the obvious. "Well he doesn't actually but Teme is not going to ever get rid of us, no matter how much he hides behind those infinite files on his office."

"You know there is actually a good reason why he is always drunk or gets laid whenever the three of us meet and it is not solely related to his testosterone drive. But he loves us too much to tell us to fuck off…although he always tells us this."

That made Sakura a little sad on the inside. After she had her first kiss with the midnight haired Uchiha, she felt deeply connected to him and the very idea of her newfound emotion being one sided was making her teary upon envisioning her boss acting like his friends were stating in the future as well.

But the all always observant Uzumaki sensed her change in demeanor, because with a little squeeze on the small shoulder and a reassuring bright smile that promised hope and change for the better in his dark friend`s attitude, he managed to place fortitude into her heart.

"Aw don't listen to this loser talking Sakura-chan, now that the Bastard has you he is not going to lust for other women, I will make sure to deprive him of his much needed ogling eyes with a well placed punch if that does happen."

"Yeah, this pathetic excuse of a human being that calls me looser, because is the only decent curse he knows, is right.

I know Sasuke and his taste and I must say even he is not that imbecile to throw away a woman like you. Like I said before…he has a good eye for minutiae if he still keeps you around despite the suspicious things that are related to your past and identity."

"By the way, were you with him at Blue Lagoon during the incident with the criminal organization? I assume you are aware of that since INTERPOL has been involved…or should I say…CIA got you guys involved."

"Yeah I was there and I must say the fucker left me there and eloped with some chick I found out was trying to rob him or drug him and before you ask, I am well aware of his little performance."

Of course the Uchiha heir skillfully targeting one of the criminals was a hot topic present on every agent`s lips.

"Plus, one of their hookers tried to fool me as well. Good thing I had her arrested the moment she tried to back me up against a wall and do me.

You should have seen her face when I told her that she should keep her arms crossed to get used to the position when she was going to end up in jail."

The pink haired assassin found it interesting to have another agent to exchange impressions upon that event, for that man looked like he had no problem in revealing things that normally should have been kept a secret.

She would make a good use out of that trait. The another idea struck her. "Wait a second…if you were there as well…why didn't you alert your colleagues first? Moreover…there were more CIA agents around as well…"

The shark man`s lips spread apart in a large grin, his fingers raised in the sign of peace. He knew exactly what she was subtlety wanting to confirm, but he was not an agent for nothing.

"I already done that, that was why my friends from the Tokyo Police Force were able to arrive there so quick.

Also, to answer to the question lingering on that pretty lips of yours, yeah, I know about Ten Ten and that Hyuga freak as well. He was there making a fool out of himself."

"So you are aware of the fact that they are CIA agents as well, right?"

"Bingo! Akatsuki or something like that…are you working along with them as well or are you just a regular agent? Although I find it difficult to believe, because they wouldn't have sent a normal CIA agent when their more skilled people were there…"

Ok, so he was not dumb at all. "Actually I belong to a different CIA office and the two branches don't quite get along with one another."

A pair of emerald apologetically darted to Naruto`s aquamarine sea ones when revealing their rivalry to their common agent friend. She got a nod of understanding in return, realizing she was excluding him from the equation.

Suigetsu raised an eyebrow at that. They didn't get along well? How come? They were all CIA agents after all.

"Huh? I thought hating people to the point you would entertain the idea of faking your own death to cut the bonds with them was Sasuke`s style, but you guys don't seem to have it in you."

"Me and Naruto are civilian right now, but the others would take any opportunity to bash on one another.

Lets just say our gatherings and Balls almost always turn into a battlefield where you go as far as to hide under the table to avoid being hit by a flaming banana or have caviar and sushi shoved down your dress."

Naruto`s head lowered in shame upon hearing the painful truth coming from his CIA colleague`s mouth, images of those absolutely horrid, somehow funny get together events invading his mind.

What was wrong with all of them? Suigetsu let out a bark, pinching the bridge of his nose, not quite picturing such people acting like elders on a wedding where they don't stand each other and fight for the fortune. "Man, for real? HAHAHA!"

"Yeah, she is not lying you know, I even saw agents fighting with the silverwares and it was insane!

One old hag agent threw an Yixing clay teapot in our Leader`s (Tobirama) head, shouting that she thought it was the tea tray instead, because it was equally rectangular and also made of wood."

Sakura couldn't contain a giggle to escape her throat, remembering the too epic face of the Hokage when he said that he had enough lawyers and money to avoid jail if he was to kill that woman with a toothpick.

"And the fact that he took off his shoe and threw it on her direction, the said woman avoiding it by opening her black lace umbrella was even priceless."

The three of them had a moment of silence, taking their time to imagine such a complicated defense move coming from an elder, took a quick glance to one another then burst into another round of howls.

Who knew such unfortunate shameful events could be a subject of entertaining. Maybe it was the friendly atmosphere between them.

"Dude that lady has been a retired Sound member so no wonder she made a fool of Tobirama, but I admit it was funny as fuck. I have even see Itachi laughing at that spoke volumes because Uchihas are too good to laugh."

"BHWHAHA Sound agent? What is that?"

"Is the name of my CIA branch."

"Really? This sounds cooler than Akatsuki. What the hell guys red clouds?"

Sakura was busy weeping some tears that escaped her jadeite gleaming amused orbs, totally entertained at the idea of spending more time in the company of the two men.

She would have never realized how easily making new acquaintances really was and the feeling of taking baby steps into the direction of a life of laughter and happiness, different from the solitude she was drowning in was refreshing.

Orochimaru has been right in sending here there alone, because she needed to stand on her own feet for a while and get to know the world better and form new opinions.

The emerald long lashed eyed agent was making a life right there and then and she had no problem in sharing beaming smiles to the two goofy agents when they playfully pulled her into a bear hug or laugh like crazy when one slapped the other`s head or bash on one another, despite meeting them for such a short amount of time.

After all, friendship and love didn't need time to struck someone when one was to find the right people.

Naruto had a lame attempt to look pathetic and hit Suigetsu`s shoulder, but the fool only managed to injure his hand, the said man avoiding the all to obvious punch. "What about them? Red clouds are the coolest man I keep telling you!"

"Pfff yeah where exactly? At rodeo? Please tell me they don't force you into wearing custom made attires with the logo as well, because I totally cannot envision the Hyuga wearing tight pants and a huge cloak…at least not with that long princess hair of his, that would make him the leader of the gay parade."

"Red clouds? Is this what Akatsuki means? Awesome, I really need to learn this damn language, because I am sick of going shopping and ask for bread and getting asked if I want it double sized with mayonnaise."

Sakura folded her long elegant arms across her full chest, pouting comically, feeling more and more at ease to be herself around the other two agents.

"Aww don't worry Sakura-chan, we can meet more often and teach you if you wanna, Japanese is great and it is not so difficult to learn once you got the hang of it."

Naruto was more than enchanted by the idea of spending more time in the company of his not so secret crush, even if it meant to stay platonic and not try to cross the line and attempt to ask for more.

He was not stupid. She was obviously not going to return his romantic feelings as long as Sasuke existed in their time.

"Ha! Look at you man, trying to be funny and flirt with the beautiful lady, using hook up lines copied form the teenagers magazines and blogs written by people without social life."

Suigetsu knew his friend was in love with Sakura, as he himself admitted when they met, but he himself could see the beautiful woman was more attracted by their other missing friend.

The Akatsuki agent got a red hue on his cheeks, not quite used to openly admitting his love for the undercover female when she was in the same room, in his embrace. But the said woman understood his intentions were not impure, so she got fun along with them, letting them be.

"At least I am using my natural born charms, not like other people that ogle them like pieces of meat!"

"If charms means inviting them to watch you stuffing your face with 20 bowls or ramen and make them pay half of the bill, then I am going to call Sasuke`s flirting get-the-fuck-off-my-face-but-feel-free-to-ride-my-dick method brilliant."

"Oh c`mon, I am sure he is not that bad…is he?"

"By the way…you haven't told us sweety, how is life with the famous Uchiha Sasuke? Has he managed to make you pay a visit to the psychiatrist?

He tends to be a little…how should I say it without insulting him like a true friend I am…crazy as fuck?"

Sakura pursed her lips, pointing her small chin with her pinky, thinking hard. How was her life with Sasuke after all? "In all honesty…is like riding a roller coaster."

Suigetsu bent his body in front of him, his body convulsing and his moves out of control. "I…bhwhahahaha…I am sure he would mind you riding his rollercoaster at all, but…wbahaha I can see you guys are not there yet."

Naruto slipped his forehead, letting his palm slide on his face, shaking his head in disbelief. Not only his friend was eccentric but he lacked in manners department.

Although…he too could sense the bright friendly aura in the room, not quite believing his cerulean clear eyes that the might Athena of the Sound was such an incredible woman when she dropped the hard stone façade, guessing the exact reason Sasuke was so attracted by her. That ice cold bastard has seen right through her, like he had X ray lasers into his eyes.

The Sound agent was beat red when Suigetsu finished his crises of laughter, not quite comfortable in being questioned about their unclear relationship, for she herself didn't know where they were standing.

"We…are not like that…"

"Awww c`mon Sakura-chan, don't listen to this stupid idiot, he is just upset he didn't find such a great woman to make his miserable life better and he is venting out on the others. Besides, we all agree Teme thinks higher of you if he is willing to wait."

"Yeah, this blonde dickless idiot is right, is the first time I have seen Sasuke being truly intrigued by a woman and let me tell you he is an absolutely empty headed cretin when it comes to feelings and social life, but he knows how to find what he wants in the people`s hearts, so if he is giving you a chance means you have something that really interests him and I am not talking about the fact that you look a billion times better than all the models and actresses he dated."

"My God dude, you sounded just like him."

Another round of laughter, but deep inside Sakura knew they were right…she truly hoped they were.

What the young handsome Uchiha let her feel when they got intimate was a genuine unknown emotion coming straight from the pits of his confined from the world soul and it lighted her whole being.

"Man…don't say that, I don't want old people to question whether I sleep into a coffin or a normal bed."

"Actually…even I entertained that idea when we first met."

"Duh…any normal living would have done it."

"Aw stop scaring Sakura-chan you moron, Bastard is not such a scary person, you are all exaggerating."

Two pairs of eyes fixed the sun kissed all too kind hearted Uzumaki like he was insane. Probably not even he would have believed such a lie. The said man scrapped his sun kissed spikes, laughing nervously.

"Well…he is a bit scary all right…all right, he makes grown up men hide in the trashcans when he walks on the street but seriously, once you get used to him it gets funny. Besides, no one is going to bully you as long as he is around."

"Ah yeah…because who is supposed to guard who? And by the way…why are you calling me Sakura-chan? Why the…chan at the end of my name?"

"-Chan is a suffix we the Japanese use for people we are really close to like in brother or sister or a friend. -Chan is for girls and –kun is for guys. Do you get it?"

"Hm…so if you call me Sakura-chan then…that would make you Naruto-kun?"

The said man had anime hearts in his blue glimmering eyes, like he has seen a bowl of gigantic Ramen landing on his top roof. He truly loved how that woman was saying his name. "Yeah, that is right."

"So what happens if I drop this suffix from someone`s name?"

It was Suigetsu who answered the question in Naruto`s place. "It means you get a little more intimate to the said person."

It was not difficult for the brilliant Sound agent to make the necessary connections and turn tomato red. "You mean…it I hypothetically speaking call my boss Sasuke, without adding the –kun at the end…does that make us intimate?"

"You got that right dear. Why…did he make you say his name? Oh Lord please tell me he did!"

How could Sakura ever start to confess the intimacy of the situation her handsome boss asked her to call out his name in the most seductive way possible, to some people she befriended minutes ago…two hours ago if she was to look at the clock on the wall. Damn was time literary flying.

"Heh…you are not answering so he did. Well…I don't know what to say… in all honesty our always ruminating somber friend doesn't giver a shit about tradition, he spent a great time outside the borders of the country so he is more into western style."

"But maybe he did make an exception this time."

"Hello! I am in the room for God`s sake!" The pink haired woman was hiding her face into Naruto`s shoulder, not able to face any of the man that seem to know exactly what was going on between her and the raven haired Uchiha and that didn't seem right with her.

On the other hand, those were the closest people to Sasuke so it was quite normal for them to be able to understand more of his attitude, just like she and Karin were able to understand each other without even speaking words.

But…behind their teasing remarks…those people were kinda trying to help and she could use their insight on her boss` actions to know more about him and maybe get closer.

"Warui warui…I honestly cannot wait to see how the two of you will progress but…I am kinda sick of seeing my best friend coming to this age and act like he is a teenager with raging hormones.

I think it is time to find himself a good woman to put him into his place from time to time and damn right you are more than perfect."

"Wow Suigetsu I cannot believe I am even considering this but…what you said was kind of…cheesy….and lovely!"

The blonde Uzumaki placed his left hand above his heart like he was confessing to the priest, closing his eyes to add to the dramatic moment. "Dude…deep inside your ugly perverted deprived corrupted body…there is a soul. I am deeply moved."

"…and I am deeply disgusted by your shenanigans, but I am dealing with it."

"Anyways…can we please change the subject before I am going to do some permanent impairment on someone or something? And guess it will be me the one to clean up afterwards and fuck I am tired as hell."

"Seriously sweetheart, why don't you stop with this…undercover shit and go properly date that anti social deranged friend of us instead? This way you are going to kill two rabbits with one stone. I mean…what is the point to all this?"

The pink haired maid took a moment to reflect on the question, because it sounded like something Karin has told her, holding the same idea of getting officially involved in the mission since she poured personal feelings into their relationship but…was it the right thing to do?

Suigetsu also knew what undercover really meant so he would just suggest her something so outrageous on a whim.

"I can not do this. I have to stick to my mission and stay detached, besides there are people out there that should not find out about me staying close to Sasuke. This is the reason why I keep my appearance concealed not from him, but from the others as well."

Both Naruto and the Hozuki agent eyed the sole female occupant of the couch with sympathetic stares.

The way she was thinking was logical and fitting for a true agent that didn't let emotions get in the way of her mission but, but what was even clearer than her undivided devotion to her job, was her feelings for the man she should not fall for.

"Well…I don't think we should consider you keeping your appearance hidden in front of him cos damn right were you gorgeous back there at the swimming place."

"Yeah Sakura-chan besides, who said that you liking Teme and being with him would get in the way of your mission? Aren`t feelings the ones to make us stronger after all?"

Sakura raised her forest shimmering eyes to rest on the azure friendly ones, taken aback by the deep meaning behind his honest remark.

She has never considered that way of looking at the things before and it was making her see things into a new light. What if he was right? Then should she…

"I don't know…I didn't have such things…until now…"

The deadly silence that fell among the three people when they realized what the pink haired confused lady was confessing was a sign for Suigetsu to stand up and end their encounter.

He had a lot of stuff to do and he didn't want to keep the others busy as well, although…if he were to be completely sincere, the Hozuki heir truly had fun and the pleasure to discover such a hidden part of the Sound agent was totally unexpected but welcomed. Things were getting interesting.

"Well…as much as I would like to spend more time in the company of such a fine lady and my moronic hyperactive knucklehead friend, duty calls." The shark faced heir headed to the door, hands slipped into his pocket, grinning at the other two agents.

Naruto and Sakura both stood up as well. "A tough case?"

"Actually yeah. I am sure both of you heard the news of some four decapitated dudes found in the warehouse near the Tokyo harbor."

The pink haired agent`s reaction was immediate, silently thankful for the INTERPOL agent to have brought up the topic. "By the way Suigetsu, I would like to have a look at the police report and have access to the morgue to study the dead bodies. It could help my mission as well…of course, if you would be willing to help."

"No problem. You can drop by the police whenever you please and look at everything that interests you. If you encounter any problems, just tell them you talked to me."

A small wink in her direction made the Sound agent let a small giggle brighten her delicate features. That man was a player all right, but a funny one. Definitely her friend Karin should find out about him.

"Yeah right, using work to flirt with Sakura-chan and then call me low and depraved. You suck dude!"

"Man…I am going. But don't forget: mess with her and you mess with our dear son of the Devil friend." Suigetsu waved his hand in the direction of his two companions and exited the house.

Sakura was beat red. How could they people assume she and Sasuke were already in a relationship so easily was beyond her emotional level of understanding.

Maybe it was her undisciplined mind that was making it all too difficult after all…A hand on her shoulder interrupted the thoughts.

"Don't worry, he is an idiot, but I know Suigetsu, he is a good man. Your secret is safe." Again that brilliant friendly smile of reassurance welcomed the pink haired woman as soon as she turned her head to follow the firm hand.

"Yeah, I know. It is an agent`s thing isn't it? Hey I was wondering…are you with your SUV?"

"Yeah, why? Need a ride?"

"Can you drop me to the Mangekyou?"

"BAHAHAHA man Suigetsu was right, you guys don't waste time!"

"Naruto…" A well intended fist landed into the Akatsuki member`s stomach, making him stumble two steps backwards, laughing and rubbing the painful area. That woman was a sight to behold and she was cute even when angry.

"Ok Ok I got it, you will have just a boss-maid encounter, nothing more. C`mon, lets not make Teme wait too long."

Blood started to boil into her face upon thinking about the upcoming meeting with Sasuke and the fact that she had absolutely zero idea of how she should greet him was dreading her.

"Yeah…ahm…Naruto…kun? Have I got it right?"

"Totally!"

Mangekyou HQ, CEO Office

A firm grip was holding an expensive pen, moving swiftly over the blank surface of a piece of paper, its owner never removing his intense onyx eyes from the large screen of the laptop, resting on the wooden large table.

For two hours was Sasuke imagining possible scenarios of an eventual drop of his stocks on the auction market, his sharp mind never missing one single element regarding the sell and buy of the shares at the moment.

The ebony deep in thoughts haired Uchiha has successfully convinced the famous Japanese brand Mitsubishi to become his main car parts provider, for they had the best price and quality of their products, leaving the unimportant matters to be discussed by the other heads of each factory, such as shipping, schedule and custom taxes.

But he knew exactly that once other companies were going to fall thanks to the insolvency of the Norwegian company, the market would face a crisis and it was so inevitable that Sasuke couldn't help but think in horror at the outcome if more important people were going to face a hideous end of their lives.

It was not brain surgery for his resourceful always too inventive mind to figure out that all the unexpected unfortunate deaths were part of a bigger plan to take over the world economy, belonging to some people who knew exactly when to strike at the opportune moment and that angered him more.

He was going to be one of those fools if he doesn't keep his guard up all the times, but instead of focusing on his tasks, his thoughts flew to Sakura and her ethereal feminine features that were fascinating and scaring him at the same time.

The fact that he had no control over his emotions when it came to those absolutely delicious soft rose petals of hers and forest shimmering eyes eying him with tenderness, was putting the raven haired Uchiha into a corner.

It was not the fact that he didn't know what to say to her the very first time she was going to cross his office doors, no far from it, it was precisely the need to see her what was getting the jet dark eyed man crazy.

And all those business related files and problems…he needed to get away, do something, anything…he felt suffocated…and he wanted his maid right then!

He had the urge to hold her into his arms, even kiss her of feel her soft skin under his touches, just for a second…it was not only extremely arousing for him, but soothing as well.

It was the feeling of running barefooted though a field of poppies and the fast peace of his heart whenever she smiled or run her small fingers over his frame that made Sasuke realized Sakura was having a calming effect on him, like his very mother.

Of course, he wasn't viewing her that way but they both had some sort of mysterious power over him and that was not making him troubled at all. He was even welcoming the emotion, to his utter stupor.

Riiiiiingggg Riiiiiiinggggg

"Speak."

"Mr. Uchiha, there are some urgent files that have arrived from Norway that involves Mangekyou and the other business partners of the deceased heir that you should look at."

"What kind of files and why is my presence required? Can`t you come here and bring them to me?"

"I am afraid it is not that simple Sir. The creditors have already started the insolvency procedure and all the partners and creditors are required to assemble to receive their part of the debts. You know what this entitles."

"Damn it not now…" The young heir was not going to keep his mind on company related meetings when that little vixen of his maid was supposed to come and make them have probably the most awkward conversation in the history of awkward couples but such was life.

"I am coming downstairs. Call a meeting with all the heads in the large meeting room. We are going to be the first ones to get back all the money they owe us."

"Yes Mr. Uchiha, I am already on my way."

"By the way, Juugo. When Sakura comes here tell her to wait in my office. Give her everything she wants and don't let anyone bother her."

"Of course."

Sasuke took his suit jacket and sprinted out of his office, a pile of files in his right hand and the laptop in the other. Those idiots were going to pester him into explaining over and over again his strategy.

He could have sworn none of them even had finished University, because they were a bunch of retarded loaded people. Of course…all that Sasuke wanted from them…was money. As the elevator rode up, his mind was slowly drifting to a pair of radiant wise verdant orbs…

}{

"Here you go Sakura-chan." Naruto graced Sakura with a wide beaming smile, waving his hand in her direction. The said woman returned his gesture with a honest friendly small smile of her own, her CIA colleague never ceasing to amuse her more.

During their way to Sasuke`s company, the sun kissed Uzumaki has entertained her with short stories from high school and campus back there in Virginia, slipping some juicy incidents involving his dark haired friend that made rivers of tears stream down her emerald eyes in laughter.

She was never going to associate stoicism with Sasuke`s name, upon finding out he was a hard core Tom and Jerry fan, going as far as to buy a pillow with the said pair and threaten to choke whoever dared to touch it.

"Thank you Naruto-kun. I left my bike back there at the swimming place and I didn't have the chance to get it back. It is quite difficult to move through such a large crowded city and rely just on walking."

The pink haired lady was having her right hand on the door, but hesitating to pull it open and head into her boss` working place.

Why was she so nervous all of sudden? It was not just the fact that she still had no idea how should she approach him, but the butterflies in her stomach were fluttering aimlessly in a tingling manner that betrayed both anxiousness and anticipation.

She felt like dying to see his handsome face, but at the same time she was afraid his reaction was not going to be one she expected.

It might have been her qualm radiating through every small aperture in her trembling skin that made Naruto fold his arms around her shoulders in a tight reassuring embrace, the woman reciprocating his gestures.

"I don't know what happened between the two of you, but I am giving you an advice that you would probably find weird. Trust the Teme Sakura-chan and do not be afraid to be yourself in front of him, just like you acted in front of me and Suigetsu."

Sakura could only nod in agreement, finding it almost incredible how close she has become with the Akatsuki member in such a short amount of time.

It was probably the easiness in his approach that made everyone befriend him after seeing the glowing light surrounding his bright spirit.

"…why are you able to read my mind…and your friend is reading my heart…?"

"Because deep inside…you are breakable and lonely…just like I used to be. You have my cousin and the other Sound dudes who I know are weird and crazy as fuck, but caring, to back you up and now you have me as well to be there when you need me.

And you have that Bastard to give you what we cannot. Loneliness…is something no one should feel…ever."

It took every fiber of her body and all the self control so intently practiced during her training days to hold her emotions that were threatening to fall in the form of glistening tears from her tight shut emerald eyes when the truth behind those all knowing words escaped Naruto`s lips, but she only resumed in strengthen her grip on his embrace.

"What are you talking about Naruto-kun, you have the Akatsuki, you are not lonely."

He was truly Karin`s relative, for those Uzumaki people were so good in reading emotions, like they had extrasensory perception over what the others felt.

And what he said…were the exact feelings she always had imprinted into her soul, haunting her since she has left the orphanage, the two sole people that ever cared for her well being included.

"Hehe right, but it wasn't always like that. We will talk about it some other time. Want me to go take your motorcycle?"

The two newfound friends pulled apart with a small friendly pat on each other`s backs. In his mind, Naruto was well aware that his feelings transcended the amiable level, but he didn't mind being one sided if it meant being close to her and guide her as a simple friend.

"No, it is ok. I will go and take her later. Thank you for…everything." With a renewed strength, the pink haired maid got off the car, thanking her CIA colleague once again for his patience with her.

"Oy Sakura, tell the Teme if he doesn't treat you right, I am going to barge into his office and inflict some damage into his ugly ass."

A bright smile, followed by a soft giggle was what Uzumaki last saw before he stepped the gas and speeded up.

Not that he minded talking to Sakura, but the security guards were heading his way. Apparently, blocking the main entrance from the Mangekyou HQ was not a good idea.

The pink haired agent climbed the stairs and entered the said company in a really good mood, unaware of the pair of two hard black beryl eyes that have followed the pair all the time since Naruto stopped the car in front of the conference room`s panoramic window.

"Mr. Uchiha, what about the debt restructuring process? If all the creditors can compromise, we can restore liquidity of our client and rehabilitate its financial status, so as we could all get our loans back."

The said man was clasping the documents in his arms, a wave of rage hit him full force at the affectionate display revealed in front of his eyes. And the only mistake his imbecile blonde friend did…was to have the tinted window car down.

Blood was boiling in fury and disgust upon thinking that maybe the two of them were not completely honest with him in terms of their feelings towards each other.

He raised his impenetrable charcoal eyes to the audience, making the other people present take an involuntary gulp upon sensing the menacing aura of the CEO.

"I have already signed with Mitsubishi and they started to deliver the components we need to our factories.

I do not care what happens to the Norwegian company any longer. If they are not able to find a plan to rehabilitate, then they are not worth of my attention."

}{

A really bored out of her mind pink maid agent was occupying her boss` large comfy leather office chair, absolutely not giving a damn if someone was to walk inside and catch the sight of her.

As soon as she entered her boss` company she was greeted by his friendly secretary Juugo, who accompanied her into the raven haired man`s office, instructing her to stay there and wait for Sasuke, who was busy with god only knew what urgent meeting…at it has already been an hour.

In the meantime, the emerald eyed woman thought about all possible scenarios of her imminent encounter with the handsome CEO and their upcoming discussion.

She was well aware of the fact that between two out of ordinary people, a normal conversation was something she should least expect.

"We will probably start to throw smartass retorts at one another, until he does something really unexpected like he always does…the cocky bastard…"

She leaned further into the leather texture, pouting like a small kid, a newfound idea making her face get a light share of the blood`s color at the thought of them sharing another passionate moment there in his office.

It never been more real the thought of her being involved in whatever relationship was that what they had, with such a prominent man and it was a feeling that was giving her thrills down her spine.

Of course she was cursing the jet haired heir in her mind to hell and back so many times, but she too was enchanted by the idea of dating such an important man, despite the fact that her feelings for him had nothing to do with who he was in the high society.

But currently Sakura was in his territory and the fact that he had no problem in inviting her to roam freely through his office (because hell she looked at every file available), revealed some sort of trust he was placing on her, despite her many lies and hidden thoughts, and that only made her heart beat faster in anticipation.

It was not point in denying the obvious truth of her wanting to see him so bad it hurt. Yes, the Sound agent was scared, fidgeting with her hands as seconds passed in her favor, like she was waiting in line for dentist, but the emotion was a mixture between dread and need.

She didn't just want to see Sasuke, she craved for seeing him and it was tearing her apart not to see him elegantly open the office door and let those impossibly alluring onyx eyes of his trap her in his delicious word of sins and secret wants.

And her heart skipped a beat literary when the black hard door opened, announcing the imminent encounter that made the pink haired maid rose from the chair and inhale deeply.

}{

"Mr. Uchiha, I think you have a very interesting and totally unexpected guest, requesting to meet you."

Juugo, who was standing beside his CEO, participating to the never ending discussions, got a call from the receptionist who had troubles in letting him know who exactly was visiting. He sounded…star struck? He leaned in and whispered the information to a very pissed off Uchiha heir`s ear.

The brooding and frowning jet haired CEO titled his head and nodded once in confirmation, thinking hard about who the heck had the guts to barge into his company without announcing his presence at least three weeks in advance? What was Mangekyou, a hostel?

"Who the fuck is this person anyways, if my maid arrived an hour ago and she is in my office?"

"I think you will find this really suspicious Sir, but it is a woman. And not just a woman, a really famous one."

Sasuke raised a fine eyebrow at his secretary, his mind already focused on Sakura, not giving a damn about what slut was there to nag him. He was ready to tell Juugo to throw her outside his private space. "A famous one? Who?"

"Someone that goes by the name of Ino Yamanaka."

One of the creditors that were participating to the meeting that was closer to the Uchiha and heard the not so subtle message, choked on his water, spitting some drops on his iPad, cursing the lucky young handsome CEO for his guts to only lure stunning women.

Who didn't know the famous model Yamanaka, she was on all magazine covers, posing in the most provocative positions and clad in the most revealing lingerie?

The man wanted to sneak out of the impossibly stressful meeting and go meet the woman in Sasuke`s place. A quick glance at the dark Uchiha told him the said man couldn't give a fuck about that. And he didn't.

"What the hell is that whore doing here, wanting to meet me? I am sure she isn't here to do business, either way I would have been contacted by Yamanaka CEO himself. Tell the guards to throw her outside, I don't have time for this shit."

Sasuke resumed his attention to the arguing CEOs and banks representatives, who couldn't reach an agreement about the most efficient way to share the money between all of them, not giving a fuck about Ino and her surprising appearance.

In the past, he would have been interested in giving her a tour of his company…and some really secluded places to have a little chat, but he had a way finer and stunning woman waiting for him and his feelings for her were something that almost urged Sasuke to personally go there and kick the blonde model outside.

Like he needed another scandal involving a star, when he was almost sure he wanted to try something with Sakura.

"Just go there and tell her to fuck off and nag someone else. Give her Suigetsu`s number. He is willing and I am sure that woman doesn't mind whatever dick she jumps."

Juugo refrained for snort loudly at his boss` new attitude towards such sort of women, for he didn't want to disturb the meeting participants that were calmly shouting and screaming at one another, impressed by the welcomed change in demeanor of his CEO and damn right he knew his little interesting maid had a word in this.

Everyone from the company started to observe that Sasuke was gentler in his words and gestures towards the pink haired lady, like she was not just one of his servants.

But the secretary really liked Sakura, and so were many others…women workers loathed her, because she was stealing the show.

"I am afraid I cannot do this right now Sir, because she tricked the reception man into letting her wait for you in your office."

Sasuke`s eyes went wide for a moment in realization. He entertained the idea of going there to stop what was probably going to be a catastrophic disaster.

A quick glance in his left side told him they will probably not even take notice of his absence. Where those people beating each other as well?

The jet onyx eyed heir shook his head in disbelief. In his freaking office was Sakura waiting for him…and Yamanaka was heading there as well. " Fuck my life."

}{

A loud click followed by the two honey iron doors sliding open, revealed a stunning looking smirking Ino Yamanaka, that let her expensive high heels take small steps in the direction of her target`s office.

She licked her lips in anticipation upon finally meeting the famous Sasuke Uchiha in person.

The well known model was well aware of the reason she arrived in Tokyo, but that didn't mean she could not have fun.

Why wait for what they called the proper occasion to meet him when she was a door away from having the handsome man in his sight and maybe have a little…fun with him in the process.

Out of all the men Ino has dated and bedded, that wild unpredictable extremely gorgeous dark eyed Uchiha was way out of their league in both looks and intellect…and money.

She almost trembled at the idea of spending some really intense moments with him and his all so known taste for luxury and hot ladies told her she it was going to be piece of cake to have him at her feet.

Sure, he was smart, but even the smartest men are weak in front of such a charming golden haired woman like her and she knew exactly how to play those kind of males. It was her specialty.

A refined hand placed on the door knob. She was not going to beat and ask for permission. Ino Yamanaka waited for nobody. With a small push, she let herself in. "Let the show begin."

And entered the office stopping dead in her tracks.

It was not Sasuke Uchiha she found behind the large office desk.

A pair of forest green equally shocked widened eyes collided with her stunned ocean blue ones.

And the show indeed…began.

"You!"

"You!"

Sakura felt her pulse run like a crazy horse, as if she has just jumped from the Alps with a parachute and landed on an active volcano.

Instead of the sexy raven haired Uchiha entering the office door, the same slut she has basically humiliated in the mall not long ago has made her whorish appearance in his freaking office.

Was that some kind of lame stunt pulled out by him? Because if it was…"I…am going to beat the crap out of him…using this hooker as a baseball bait."

"What the fuck is a tramp doing into Sasuke Uchiha`s office, occupying his rightful position?!" Ino clenched her fists, her French manicured long nails shoved in the soft skin of her palm, her all frame trembling in fury.

Of all the things that could have possibly gone bad in her plan, it had to be this ridiculous looking woman the one to mess with her plans, like fate was punishing her for her malevolent intentions.

Sakura was having troubles in grasping the situation in front of her, in the form of a one and only Yamanaka slutty model barging into her boss` office, without even knocking, like she was his mother or lover. Suddenly, she felt sick…and hurt.

Was that Sasuke`s answer to their absolutely incredible moment together? Did he hate what they have become so bad to the point he decided to break her wings in her flight and laugh at her in front of that woman and all his subordinates?

The emerald woman knew better than to judge before jumping into conclusions, but she didn't have the nerves to let her sharp mind put two and two together and collect herself. Wasn't Naruto the one to tell her to trust Sasuke?

She straightened her pose with grace and attitude to painfully contrast with the pair of ripped black Jeans and large T-Shirt she was wearing (she left the ugly glasses at home on purpose), folded her delicate arms in front of her chest, like she was a queen in front of a peasant and eyed the trembling in rage woman in front of her with superiority.

"I could have asked you the very same question, but seeing that you let yourself in without even having the basic manners like this is some brothel instead of a powerful world company, tells me you are not even at the level of a beggar."

Ino`s mouth took a bit of the polished surface of the floor, not believing his eyes of the guts that woman in front of her had to insult her in such blatant way, even if she probably was well aware of who was she addressing to.

"I dare you to repeat what you have just said, because I am having troubles in grasping the meaning. Are you possibly that much of an imbecile to mess with me of all the people?"

"Of course you have troubles in grasping the meaning if your head is just as empty as your laughable threats.

Be aware of that malevolent whorish attitude of yours sweetie, other ways the Devil is going to sue you and ask for copyright for using his face and attitude."

If there was something that gave Sakura an ego burst in all honesty was the way the overdose makeup addict slut in front of her was fuming, looking like she wanted nothing more than to decapitate her and that made her laugh like mad inside.

Let her try, the Sound assassin would gladly throw her ass outside…on the window, screw the doors, they were too mainstream for her taste.

Yamanaka shut the office door and marched in the direction of the desk, her black heels echoing through the vast space of the office, seeing red.

She couldn't be that unlucky to have the view of the ugly looking woman once again after all the scandal blogs made fun of her and her lame performance from the Dior shop.

She planted her hands firmly on the hard wooden surface, her light blue eyes fixed on the arrogant smirking Sakura. The said commoner didn't even flinch.

"I cannot believe that from all the places you could have hid your ugly stinky presence, it has to be in this particular building and moment. Just how the hell did they even let a rat like you in?"

"The same way the local police didn't charge you with paying the vignette when walking with that ugly faces of yours and damage the roads and the cardiac people`s health."

"Are you hearing yourself talking or in the sewer you live there is no access to electricity?! I am the famous model Ino Yamanaka mind telling you catwalking is my specialty so watch your tongue."

The pink haired woman was amused to the max. It couldn't have been better than that. If this slut was there to see Sasuke she was in for another surprise.

She hasn't threatening her into calling her boss and let him know there was something bothering her, which meant the raven haired Uchiha didn't call her there in the very first place, which was the confirmation Sakura needed to calm her jealous heart. She never ceased away her smirk.

"I would say…in terms of walking like a diva…you would look as graceful as Pinocchio when he learned how to walk."

"You…I swear you will pay for your smartass retorts you street looking rat, mark my words!"

Ino was ready to cut the distance between them and strangle the smiling woman in front of her with her bare hands, popularity be damned. She wasn't going to take in all those obvious insulting words from a mere commoner.

"Pflease…you used so many old school threats that I will have to kindly ask you to use other insults, because you bore the hell out of me. Seriously, you are no competition. Do you really expect to spend more than 2 seconds in CEO`s presence. As if."

"And who the hell are you to decide whether I see Sasuke or not, his mother?"

"Watch your words you slut, until you personally meet him and he acknowledges you, which I strongly doubt, he is Mr. Uchiha for you, understood, or do I have to take a sheet and make you a diagram?"

The blonde revolted model let a loud unladylike snort, eying Sakura in disbelief. Never in her life did Ino felt so much hate towards someone, not even her model colleagues and the rivalry there was fierce.

"And I have to design one for you as well, because it seems that your tiny brain has been lost in that tent you are dressed on. I asked you who the fuck are you to question me?"

"His secretary duh. I thought it was obvious from the moment you have found me in here alone, at his office, sorting files. Are you that much of a retard street walker if you cannot even state the obvious?"

The pink haired amused to no end haired Sound agent made a small gesture with her hand, upon the desk, where indeed many files and pieces of paper were resting.

Ino was not to comment upon letting her light blue eyes dart on the said objects. In her mind it didn't make any sense how in the world such a person could be Sasuke`s secretary.

Maybe she was lying…but then again…her attitude and the fact that she was alone in his office were a solid proof…

She tried her luck nonetheless. "You cannot be his secretary, because I talked to him at the reception and he told me to wait in here. And he was a male too, so if you happen to be a drag queen at least put a damn sign on that wide forehead of yours."

Sakura did absolutely nothing to stop a laughter crises upon hearing the woman in front of her trying to outsmart her. She held her stomach with a hand, resting the other on the desk.

"No, you didn't, because if you would have indeed talked to a person that was not me, you would have found out that he is having an urgent meeting. But such is fate…"

"Trying to be smart huh?"

"No dear, I am not trying because it comes to me naturally, in comparison to some other totally cretin divas wannabe present in the room.

And so as you know, don't let yourself deceived by the appearances…I am nowhere near to an ordinary person. You should have known special people like my boss only hire equally gifted people to work for him."

Inside, Sakura was shouting BINGO! At the dumb expression on the model`s face. Ino looked thorn between turn her back and make a run or come and beat her. The verdant entertained eyed lady smirked in win.

There was no way in hell she would ever allow that woman close to the Uchiha.

Call it killer`s instinct, but there was something hidden deep inside those deep baby sky blue eyes of Yamanaka`s that spoke volume about her vile intent towards her boss, and she was there to guard him from such people.

Sakura was going to keep a close eye on this woman, because it seemed she had ulterior motives behind the false pretense of wanting to seduce the hot male.

"You can talk all that you wish, but lets see what you boss is going to say when I am going to tell him just how rude his secretary really is."

"Oh no don't misunderstand dear, I am not being rude with you because that would have implied grabbing your full of hair extensions fake ponytail and throw your slutty carcass outside a respectable place. We do not want such creatures to spoil Mr. Uchiha`s image."

"Hah! You talk like he is a saint to begin with. Like I don't know how much of a manwhore that man really is."

In her rage, Ino hasn't realized the sudden change in Sakura`s playful attitude, because the said pink haired agent lowered her chin and her forest green jadeite orbs got a darker shade, betraying a very obvious emotion poured in those sparkling gems of hers: killing intent.

Sasuke was far from the man that slut was characterizing him with so much easiness in her sugary practiced voice, like she was his very conscience talking.

The Uchiha was by far the most insightful and complex character out of there and no one was going to misjudge him in front of her.

"Maybe he is much more than that and you are going to have the surprise of your life."

"You back him up because you are his secretary, so keeping an unblemished image is your job. But keep in mind…you don't know him."

"And neither do you."

A tensed silence fell upon the large office, the vile intent so thick it was almost visible…until Juugo knocked once and entered the office, with what looked like caution. Maybe the gentle poor secretary was expecting some stilettos to fly in his direction.

"I am sorry, but Mr. Uchiha would not be here soon. There are some…complications and his presence is required."

Indeed, some of the creditors were punching one another, arguing for ridiculously large amount of money they were entitled to get in return, but they just couldn't understand that the insolvent company had no such values to sell anymore to cover all the debts.

And of course it was Sasuke the one to try and mediate the conflict with a genius solution, just like he always did. There was also an older woman and a middle aged Spanish bank representative that were providing good advices, but the meeting was not going smoothly.

The Uchiha asked Juugo to go see if the two women were beating each other in his office (he was silently praying for his maid to throw Ino outside, because he knew that spitfire had it in her to do it) and bring him a painkiller for the throbbing headache…and something to eat.

Damned be the manners, if those imbeciles were throwing pencils at one another and delivered punches, there would be no problem in him eating pasta and cracking his ingenious mind to find a solution.

The orange haired tall man had the attention of both women and he couldn't help but watch in awe how the tramp looking poor maid was sporting the attitude of a royalty with such nonchalance as if it was her second nature, outshining the gorgeous looking model that had a dumbfounded expression on her face.

Silently, Juugo couldn't help but make his own pick. If it was to be honest, he would have chosen Sakura over Ino hands down.

"So how much time do I have to wait? I don't have all day you know, being a celebrity takes much of my damn time."

Ino let her gaze fall on her nails, like she was checking if she has grown up another finger out of sudden or she forgot how many did she have to begin with.

"Yeah, I am sure being a slut totally takes most of your time, but as far as I am concerned, you are supposed to work during the nights. Are you pulling out extra hours for more cash? Ah poor poor lady…"

Juugo bit his lower lip to prevent a laugh to escape his throat upon hearing Sasuke`s maid making a fool of such a famous lady, like she was insulting celebrities on daily basis. He could understand his CEO`s interest in keeping her close. That woman was more than she let the others believe.

"You…"

"I am sorry Miss. You can expect for him if you want, I am sure Mr. Uchiha will not mind, though I must warn you it might take another hour or maybe two."

"You heard the gentleman speaking you simple-minded roundworm whore, why don't you stop wasting our damn time and go fuck yourself some other place instead, I am sure there are other willing males outside that would give you a good one if you bat your fake eyelashes in their direction, like always."

"You…I swear to all the Heavens that…"

"Just cut it out already!

You made yourself understood the first time you threatened me in vain, like an ugly looking pig clad in Prada would ever be able to lay a finger on me in this lifetime.

Now get out before I snap and don't bother yourself with the elevator, jump on the window instead, because I am sure if not now, later on, you are going down anyways."

Now wasting anymore time in Sakura`s presence, Ino turned around abruptly and marched to the door, shoving Juugo in the process and exited the office not saying anymore words.

She rode the elevator down, screaming a the top of her lungs in the main hall that Uchiha Sasuke is an arrogant jerk and his all workers were a bunch of weird looking cretins with a nasty attitude.

All the people that were currently in the hall were laughing at the famous angry woman`s visible distress. Apparently their CEO got new hobbies if he was rejecting such stunning temptations.

For two minutes Juugo couldn't take his eyes off the still opened door, his finger pointed in the empty space Ino has occupied not long ago, blinking rapidly as if he had troubles in understanding what has occurred there. He turned his head in the direction of a smirking maid, both his eyebrows rose.

"…do I even want to know what was that?"

"No."

"Good. You know…you saved me a lot of trouble by making her leave."

Sakura pulled out the lunch box she prepared, heading to the true secretary of her raven haired boss, handing him the beautiful decorated wooden item, he nodding at her in understanding.

"I don't know what your opinion is on the matter Juugo, but I sure as hell wont believe the fact that she came there for any other reason that to add another scandal on my boss` agenda."

"You are right. Besides, it was Mr. Uchiha himself the one that told me to leave the meeting and check on you…he even told me to make sure no one is bothering you in any way."

The jadeite eyed lady felt a surge of unexpected joy burst into her heart upon hearing what Juugo was confessing her.

Not only Sasuke didn't have any intention in rendezvousing Ino, but he personally made his secretary come down and assure she was fine.

It was the proof she needed that he actually cared and she didn't need any other talk in confirmation of the emotions transpiring between the two of them.

She knew he was extremely busy, but even so his small gestures were speaking volumes and he knew she was going to understand him.

She exited the room with a newfound happiness. "Tell him I thank him for his concern and I do hope he is not exhausting himself. He tends to work too much sometimes. I put a green apple in there as well."

A small smile and she was gone, leaving a smirking secretary behind to watch in awe at the lady, glad that the young CEO finally found someone to actually care about him and not only for his looks or money.

7 pm Tokyo Police Department

"Are you sure this is all you have found out until now? No other clue whatsoever?"

"I am afraid no Miss Haruno, but we are still investigating the case. We are waiting for the result of the expertise as well."

"I see…" Sakura was eying the dead bodies in front of her, not quite believing her eyes of what she was seeing. Not only the found bodies have been decapitated, but the method used was something that made her blood in her veins freeze in shock.

"A perfectly executed sword cut…they did not feel any pain, the death was instant."

The old legist let his eyes fall on the body that was closer to him, thinking about what the CIA agent has told him. The said woman knew what she was talking about and he couldn't have agreed more. Unfortunately, they had no suspect whatsoever.

"This is what I think as well. No other suspect on the INTERPOL list come even close to this method of killing and it only makes it even more difficult for us to identify the murdered, since we don't even know what kind of weapon is able to make such a cut."

Sakura closer her emerald orbs for a second, brushing a small strand of hair that fell on her face, thinking hard. "A really sharp one."

"Indeed. We have already called for a weapon expert to come and investigate further. Maybe we will get an answer to solve the riddle."

"Call one that specializes in traditional swords and fighting methods."

"Right. I will look out for the advice, thank you."

"No, I thank you for letting me come here and have a look." The pink haired girl raised her hand and shook the kind legist`s one, expressing her gratitude for sharing those information with her. It was indeed a very weird case.

She took her leave, seeing that it was almost 8 pm and it started to darken outside. And she still hasn't got her moped back, because as soon as she left the Mangekyou she went straight to the Police Department for Organized Crime and asked for the mission report.

It only took her CIA pass to have access to all the documents she wanted, without anyone to question her intentions and when she said Hozuki Suigetsu told her to come and have a look at the police report and expertise, all the agents were ready to bow their heads in her direction.

Well, most of them did it because she was a Sound agent and everyone knew that branch was another way of saying killers. She and her colleagues had a reputation to keep.

It was really windy outside and Sakura was only clad in a baggy T-Shirt, cursing herself for her stupidity to not take at leas a cardigan or something warmer.

She rubbed her forearms, feeling a bit cold, heading in the direction of the swimming place, trying her best to remember the route.

The emerald long lashed eyed maid found out that the only clue the police has not even managed to find out a single trace of the murderer, because he successfully covered his marks, pouring a special powder to camouflage any foot print and trick the dog`s noses.

There was a joke between the agents that dealt with the case which went something along the lines of a ninja being responsible for killing those people.

Sakura also found out that the four killed fake wall painters had no background whatsoever, which was really suspicious, because it looked like not even they were that clean to begin with.

The Tokyo Police Department was not even able to find a copy of their criminal record or any information regarding them, as if someone purposely deleted their bio to cover their identities.

And that method of killing…the pink haired assassin had a really good acknowledge on using swords and traditional weapons and she knew it took extremely good precision and skill to decapitate four people at once in a perfect head cut, from the first strike.

If she were to be honest, she herself could not do it. Even Lorane would need its best man, but they were her main suspects at the moment.

Moreover, when she asked about the stolen goods, they said there was nothing in there to begin with. Maybe they have already shipped the stolen things. Too bad.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud roar coming from behind her and Sakura halted her pacing abruptly, turning her head in the direction of the upcoming threat, her senses alert.

"What the freaking…"

In a blink of an eye, an ultra expensive shinny black and red Kawasaki bike approached her at a fast pace, like the owner was basically flying on the streets, passing her just when she was about to cross the street, slowing down and pushing forward on the right handgrip, the said vehicle coming to and abrupt halt, in a perfect counterweighting, much to the other people`s around`s delight.

"What a show off…" If that was a cocky rich imbecile trying to be funny, Sakura was going to make sure he was not going to practice those stunts for at least three months. Being hospitalized had its wonders.

Maybe it was one of her annoying as fuck demented neighbors, that were throwing parties on daily basis and were picking up on her whenever they had the chance. She even kneed one of them in the groin at the supermarket for attempting to sneak a hand under her T-Shirt.

But all the insults she had prepared to greet the mysterious rider left Sakura`s mouth, that was too busy to hit the ground and be in the perfect coordination with her puzzled emerald wide as saucers eyes, when the man took out the black helmet off and shook his head once to spread those amazingly luscious raven haired spikes free from the restraint, she coming face to face to the one and only Uchiha Sasuke. How stupid of her not to recognize his attire from before.

It was in that moment her heart escaladed to her throat and everything around her magically vanished, her shocked gaze clashing with the jet sapphire ones, she secretly desired to see all day, but there was no word coming out her mouth to voice the feelings from her fast beating heart in that moment.

Sakura felt just like drowning in salty waters and Sasuke made no attempt or gesture to ease her distress, for he was having an indecipherable expression on his incredibly handsome face, never leaving her twinkling nephrite wide open orbs of hers, not even blinking like if he did, the magic he cast on her would instantly vanish.

"Just don't stay there, do something, say something, anything…" A wave of panic hit the pink haired agent, her all body started to shake in both coldness and fright. Why was her boss acting like he has seen something he didn't want to see her in the first place?

Those penetrating hard eyes of his…Sakura felt hot tears sparkling at the corner of her sad jadeite orbs, like drops of dew glisten on the blades of her long delicate curled eyelashes, silently begging the unresponsive man in front of her to pull her out of the depths of sorrow and not torment her any longer.

It was pretty bad that they were in the middle of the crowded of people coming back from work street, in an intersection, where Sasuke had absolutely no problem in stopping like he owned the place, with all the eyes cast on them, belonging to the ogling in awe passer byes that caught the sight of the charming man.

The pink haired woman stood rooted in the place, not able to even make the smallest gesture, afraid she was going to break.

Why was he eying her like that? It was the fact that her boss had his walls up around him, like an impenetrable fortress expecting to be conquered.

The mere thought of that being his answer she was so foreseeing hit deep into Sakura`s heart, in the form of billion invisible needles cutting her skin open to the point where she found the last remaining energy to turn around and make a run for it. Out of that place and out of his life…

Sasuke could not believe his eyes how many emotions was he able to perceive in those open windows of his maid`s soul and he was overwhelmed with the amount of grieve she was feeling upon seeing his unmoving body, knowing exactly what crossed her mind in that moment.

Rejection…she was afraid of his repudiating feelings that she might so foolishly misunderstood yesterday, probably scolding herself for her naivety and lack of intuition, but that was far from the truth.

As soon as his boring meeting was finally over, the Uchiha heir lost no more seconds into jumping on his bike and get lost on the roads, in a vain attempt to devoid his head of unnecessary business relating topics, focusing solely on the simple image of the gorgeous lady waiting for him.

He was slightly surprise to find so far from home, aimlessly wandering around the streets like she was searching for her place under the vast sky, but his stomach constricted painfully when he was greeted with such a heartbroken emotion gracing her beautiful face. For him…because of him…he made her suffer again…

/Tell her you will never leave her side/

A black helmet thrown in her direction, which she barely caught in between her trembling hands made Sakura stop her attempts to leave the scene and hid under some rock for eternity, not even having time to demand an explanation.

"Get on."

The emerald eyed in the verge of crying agent couldn't not believe her ears what she was asked to do.

"Get on…on what?" She had troubles processing such a simple request to join him on the luxury vehicle, raising her shining forest green eyes to silently look for the confirmation into the bottomless jet eyes that were eying her expectantly.

And she got an immediate answer in the form of the sexiest smirk the handsome man could produce and a flicker of light in the impossibly dark irises that took a playful mood, successfully replacing the grieve she felt with a burst or radiating energy.

"Stop ogling me like some damn fangirl and hurry up, I don't have all day…but I have an eternity to spend with you."

Sakura shook her head once to get back her sanity, put the helmet on and attempted to obey her boss` request, but the said man beat her to it.

"Wait a second." He unzipped his leather motorcycle jacket and covered her shoulders with it, probably aware of the cold wind blowing and her much too exposed state, taking his maid by surprise. "Put this on, I don't want to see you tremble like a dog taking a vaccination."

The pink haired lady was too busy being shocked to retort his obvious insult, welcoming the warmth the much too large jacket was providing, but she couldn't give a damn because when she pulled the zipper, Sasuke`s unique scent of forest rain and expensive cologne engulfed her in an irresistible combination.

She got on the bike, taking much pride in the other women`s around jealousy, attempting to grab the back of the seat, but the raven haired man`s hands took a hold of her own and made them rest around his waist, gluing her body to his hard rock one in a tight embrace.

"I suggest you hold on tight, because today I don't feel like being a model driver."

A small smirk over his shoulder at his star struck maid, followed by the release of the clutch and the hit of the starter button, reviving the engine assured him that the said woman got the message as she tightened her hold on his torso, so he basically flew from the spot, on the crowded streets, swiftly avoiding the cars on the road heading to God only knew where.

Sakura was too busy with a stupid smile that made its way to her lips not actually believing what she was experiencing. She was riding with the all too sexy Uchiha Sasuke, on his ridiculously expensive bike, wearing his jacket.

She rested her head in between his shoulder blades, looking straight ahead in awe how the streets were flowing under their feet, taking them both to whatever destination her boss had in mind. She didn't care.

His amazing scent embracing her, combined with the warmth the texture was providing and the feel of his abs under her fingers, protruding through the soft fabric of his motorcycle gear was enough to made the jadeite eyed lady realize that as long as he was around her, in her grasp he could head to the bottomless sea or the farthest star from the sun, and she would still feel an undying happiness. "In the other people`s eyes, do we look like a couple?"

The Sound agent was not sure of how much did they ride, because the crowded city was long left behind and they were the only riders taking the sinuous poorly lighted road through the forest, up to the closest peak in the area, having their traces lost in the embrace of the majestic forest green fir trees, guarding the confinement of the sacred wild nature, unfolding in front of their eyes.

Has her boss planned that trip from before or was it a spur of the moment? Sakura knew better.

There was nothing the onyx eyed Uchiha did on a whim, for he had every step planned beforehand. His answer…his own way of dealing with the situation…far from the company and far from the material things…"Spiritual…he cares."

And when the pair arrived at the top of the small road, Sakura`s breath hitched in her throat. High peaks covered in fir trees in the hues of the most vivid green, bathed in the glow of the sunset`s light were securely guarding the far away city of Tokyo at the foot of the hills, the view absolutely breathtaking.

The pink haired maid got off the bike and took away the helmet, taking baby steps in the direction of the gorgeous landscape, her jadeite shining eyes rivaling the verdant magical display of mother earth around her, muttering a small wow darting her orbs in all the directions possible, feeling her thoughts blend in the imperious silence of the old rocky hills, in the form of a sudden calm and peace of mind.

Sasuke joined her side but his interest was cast upon the lady beside him, amused by her antics. It was absolutely cute the way she was mumbling words of astonishment upon taking in the details of the landscape, like she was seeing a mountain view for the first time.

"This is…absolutely amazing!" Sakura turned her head on her shoulder to face her boss, not quite believing he had such a romantic side, hidden behind his cold unemotional façade.

Sasuke let a smirk grace his features, titling his head in response, his eyes fixed on those shimmering curious precious gems that were letting himself know how enchanted by his small gesture she really was.

Of course he would have never imagined the two of them talking about feelings of any sort, secluded in such an inappropriate environment as his office. Her feelings were not business.

"This is the exact thing my mother said when we came here for the first time…twenty years ago."

Sakura let her jadeite eyes rest on her boss` handsome face, digging in his confession, watching his reaction carefully.

He was looking at the beautiful sun going to rest behind the grandiose crest of the peaks, lost in a faraway memory, but there was not frown plastered on his features. He was always serene when reminiscing his mother, letting the pink haired maid realize how important that woman was in his life.

"She is right."

The raven haired Uchiha took some steps in front of a questioning looking Sakura, advancing through the soft lush of vegetation, taking the smaller hand of the beautiful lady`s in his own, surprising her, lowering his body on the small wet soft April grass and pulling the said woman down as well, in between his bent legs, her smaller back resting on his chest, sneaking a hand around her thin waist, in a tight embrace.

Sakura`s jaw almost hit the ground at the intimate closeness, not being able to realize what was happening in the first place.

Not only they were alone on the top of a cliff, with the spectacular view of the sun going down and darkness taking its rightful place, but Sasuke was holding her to his hard rock body in a position fitted for two lovers.

Amazing how her world could have changed so much in such short amount of time. The Sound agent felt the sharp feeling of despair and loneliness fading behind the rocky peaks, at the same slowly peace as the glowing sun.

Moon was going to rise soon, but she didn't care. Darkness never felt so welcoming and complacent and she was not afraid that her monsters would come back to haunt her troubled mind, expecting to rip her soul apart at the absence of the light.

She felt protected in the embrace of the most enchanting man she could have ever found.

Why was the emerald eyed lady felt anxious upon meeting her boss for the first time after their relationship took a new turn, was a mystery to her. Naruto has been right all the times, she should trust Sasuke.

Funny how all the day she has been with the bright Akatsuki agent, the very embodiment of the sun that was calmly making place for the dark to take over and then, in the moment of fading light, she was trapped in the tight embrace of the wielder of the moon symbol, the sole man that was rivaling the breathtaking sunset in beauty and grace and was making the butterflies in her stomach dance as the pale rays of light were caressing the delicate blades of the grass around her.

In that moment, all the emotions of happiness one could have learned in a lifetime were washing through Sakura`s system, flaming her blood with adoration for the raven haired man.

She couldn't stop her head to slightly turn backwards to eye the man that was making her feel like the Gods have blessed her with the perception of undying affection, her cheeks getting rosy at the view of his calm features.

He was not looking at her, rather at a faraway point, so she took her time to study his demeanor, both of them shielded but the mother nature herself, their feelings securely kept away from any curious eye.

Time has stopped for Sakura in that moment. It held no value in his arms. "Nothing but you."

It didn't matter that Sasuke was absolutely silent, like not wanting to disturb the tranquil blow of the wind through the leafy rustling trees, making their leaves dance in a fortune-telling manner, mimicking their heartbeats.

Sakura raised her hand and delicately traced her fingers to her boss` sharp jaw line, following the contour of his regal features never too amazed by the softness of his unblemished pale skin.

And when the Uchiha heir leaned into her touch resting his amazing coal bottomless eyes rest on her sparkling with emotion jade ones, she thought her heart would not be able to contain her bliss any longer.

She liked him so much it was burning her mind not to feel him closer to her, to the point they were connected in the oldest form of expressing undivided unity and affection.

Sakura descended her hand to the raven haired man`s neck and drunk of the multitude of flowing staggering emotions taking the best of her senses, pulled his head down until there was no physical gap between them and gently as a dove`s flight, pressed her soft petal rose lips on his, as her own answer to the unvoiced crucial question.

Sasuke has never felt his heart taking a completely turn from the darkness it has been facing for such a long time and watch in the direction of the dancing blazing with fondness sparkles of pure gold and glimmering green eyes of the girl kissing him in her own clumsy way, like she was taking time into getting used to the idea.

He was feeling everything through that small, feather like kiss of hers: her intoxicated floral scent, deliciously combined with dark chocolate and fruits, her absolutely succulent full heart shaped lips massaging his own, her warm breath fanning his face, engulfing his senses and her delicate fingers roam candidly through his silky locks, kneading his scalp in a relaxing motion. It was absolutely intoxicating for the jet coal eyed heir the way her feminine features and gestures were blending in the virgin nature, calling for his name, like mantra and he was willingly succumbing into her charms.

A soft moan escaped Sakura`s lips when Sasuke slipped his left hand under the jacket and T-Shirt, caressing the milky skin of her waist and stomach, in perfect harmony with his skilled lips connected to hers, sending tremors of pleasure down her spine, clouding her mind.

If he was not busy drowning under the beautiful woman`s spell, the young Uchiha would have laughed at her failed attempts to properly kiss him, not only once bumping her nose on his own, not quite managing to find the best angle and that stirred the animal inside of him even more.

Sasuke knew exactly that he would not have accepted Sakura either way than pure like the warm blanket of snow safely covering the Earth during winter, her innocence stirring some deep emotions into his heart, making it fasten its peace with every stroke of her moist lips, her wild cherries and strawberry taste driving him mad with desire.

She was not only virtuous in body, but her mind as well. The raven haired man knew exactly that the woman in his arms was experiencing the true meaning of life through every small gesture he did, being influenced by the things she came in contact with, him being no exception.

And it was precisely that virginity the one responsible for feeling a deeper connection with the stunning lady, in the most mysterious and undiscovered path of tenderness and fervor they were walking together in that very moment of such affectionate gestures.

His maid was absolutely breathtaking and he would accept nothing less to picture her ethereal figure.

A small smirk made its way up to Sasuke`s face. Sakura has bit his upper lip, having troubles in getting a proper rhythm. He pulled his mouth apart, but only a bit, just so as she was able to hear his whisper.

"You are doing it wrong." The pink haired lady, who had troubles in keeping her breath steady, inhaling sharply, clashed her slightly scared open windows to her soul to his charcoal ones, obviously ashamed by her lack of skill.

She couldn't possibly be afraid he was going to reject her for such unimportant specific element. "…I know…" Sakura lowered her head, not able to look into those enchanting sparkling dark sapphire burning orbs, her face getting a cute shade of red. That was embarrassing.

A long lean finger slipped under her small chin aligned her mouth with the good-looking man`s hot one, resuming their initial position.

She was immediately trapped by the view of that angelic face of his, not believing her eyes how gorgeous looking he really was.

The Sound agent felt her toes curl in delight and she was assaulted by trembling and electrical discharges down her body at the contact with him.

"Follow my lead…"

Sasuke titled his head until he was content with the angle of their touching faces and brushed his soft lips on the blooming luscious rosy petals of his lady, starting with a slow suave movement, wordlessly showing her the secret behind the intimate contact, feeling his own state of arousal grow to impossibly high levels of adrenaline, pulsating through his every fiber, down to the lower region of his abdomen, almost urging him to switch positions, pin her to the smooth rug of grass and ravish her with hungry kisses.

Sakura let her body take control and tell her boss the words that were coming straight from the bottom of her core, unable to feel anything except Sasuke`s silky exquisite lips grazing her own, in an elegant waltz of nibbling and tasting flesh, the feelings flowing to their touching mouths making the pink haired trapped lady to sneak the other hand around the raven haired man`s shoulder, pulling her body closer to his, like wanting to melt all the distance between them in a passionate connection of souls.

Her bold movement was rewarded with her being embraced tightly by the beautiful man who leaned in more onto her body, so that her refined beautiful hands could reach him better, their movements getting more heated with each passing moment.

The enchanted rosette could not believe her eyes at how wonderful it truly felt to kiss Sasuke all over again, not wanting to ever stop and the said man did nothing to stop her from exploring his mouth and do whatever she wanted.

There has been no form of protest in his movements when she even pecked his lower lip and suckled on it, fascinated by how heavenly sweet he truly felt on her mouth, then trapped his upper one into her full shaped ones, trying to dance to the same beat of their hearts, taking much pleasure at the mere thought of him not even dictating his own rhythm, leaving her room to dictate whatever peace she found appropriate.

From time to time Sasuke changed sides, cupping the delicate shaped bone of her cheek, caressing her face in a tenderly way, silently showing her how to arch her neck and apply the right pressure upon his lips at the right moment, the said lady following his movements, responding with mild flicks of those absolutely savory rosy lips of hers.

In all his life never did the charcoal delighted eyed heir encounter such a gorgeous lady and kissing her felt like drinking heavenly food, feeding him the necessary sweet nectar for him to feel alive, not having enough of that brocade soft skin of her mouth, like a pair of gentle butterfly wings, fluttering on his own lips, getting better and better, making his all muscles scream in delight at the feel of her glued to his own body, successfully getting under his skin.

Slowly but surely, his pink haired stunning maid was digging her way into his heart, writing her name in honey and colors, painting a new way of living in her own vision, the thought of her belonging to nobody but him imprinted into his mind.

In her mind, Sakura was absolutely stunned by the way their faces molded together in such a perfect manner, like someone has planned for them to meet one another and taste the forbidden fruit together.

She was certain she wasn't even able to say her name in that moment she felt a warm calloused hand ascend on her spine, caressing her velvety skin, fondling her back in a lazy motion, like the said man had all the time in the world to cover her with his expert touches.

All her senses were alert, it was even like an extrasensory experience to be caged into his warm embrace, being kissed by him, because she became aware of the handsome man in the context of the mountain`s amazing view, suddenly alert of things she was not even paying attention to.

A perfumed summer wind was blowing through the trees, the sound of the dancing leaves creating an eerie atmosphere of love and heaven covering the earth in its blessings, on the same manner Sasuke was touching her heart with shared emotions.

Sakura was able to feel the nature`s response to their intimacy, only adding to the small trembles of sensuality pinching on her skin, making her insides melt when she felt the tip of her handsome boss` moist hot tongue grazing her lower lip, tasting her.

Instinctively, she let her own one briefly touch his roaming one, her pulse going wild at the divine taste of him, replaying to his slow strokes with her own, opening her mouth when she felt him brush her teeth, not quite believing he took the opportunity to let himself into her hot cavern, deepening their kiss. She vaguely asked herself if that was what people called French kiss, but she would look into the story later.

The experience was not an unpleasant one, on the contrary it was giving chills down her spine and her inner walls started to constrict, a pool of steaming lava burning in between her legs, damping her panties with her essence, as a token of the extremely aroused state she was in, when Sasuke`s tongue skillfully massage her cavern, venturing as deep as he could rich, rolling and massaging her own, luring her to join his game and explore as well.

The forest green eyed agent gradually pushed her muscular organ into her midnight haired boss` mouth, not quite believing what she was doing, but when she got the taste of him, she swore she was going to become an addict.

/Be careful not to become an addict/

She let her tongue lazily brush his perfect pearl white teeth, then go down his own tongue, flicking over it, then coming back and darting farther to discover all of him, his saliva mixing with her own, in the form of the syrupy nectar making her let out louder moans of gratitude, the sensation maddening.

Sakura did know Sasuke felt the same thing at their touching exploring bodies, because the manly growls coming from his throat, vibrating through her chest making her two times more turned on and the way his hands roamed from her small back to her torso, letting his hand glide her ribs and up to the valley in between her breasts, slightly touching her well endowed chest in the process, were the solid proof of the fact that he found her inexperienced moves not in the bit bothersome.

It was in the moment the young Uchiha brother pulled their mouths apart, his eyelids partly closed and panting has the Sound agent realize her lungs were screaming for air, inhaling sharply the much needed oxygen. It was amazing how she not realized she has been holding her breath all the times.

"You…are getting…the hang of it." Sasuke felt a small choir of cherubs playing their harps into his ears, his all body being in fire by the sight of those magnetizing viridian glistening darkened in lust eyes searching for his dark beryl ones.

"You…are a good…teacher." All the deep breathes she took were not enough for the pink haired agent to calm her racing heart from jumping from her chest at the dark alluring silky baritone voice almost whispering the words meant for only her ears to hear.

Everything about the raven haired man embracing her tightly was written in a perfect rhapsody of extreme joy and yearning, because in that moment there was nothing Sakura wanted more than to remain in his arms forever.

It was in the moment his heart skipped a beat, taking him by surprise at the electrifying emotion washing through him like a cyclone has Sasuke captured the sugary luscious brocade lips in a chaste sweet kiss for the millionth time, pulling apart from the graceful lady, aware of the fact that her lack of experience made it hard for her to prologue the contact.

No problem, with his newfound motivation the young Uchiha swore she was going to practice intently with him whenever she liked it.

The fact that it was her the one to kiss him first confirmed the fact that the man that was holding her heart into his expecting hands was him and no other.

"Practice makes perfect." A small smirk sent the innocent shy emerald eyed woman straight to cloud nine, taking notice that despite their small break, her boss has not removed his hands from under her piece of clothing, caressing her gently like he wanted to lull her into slumber, just like she was playing with his unique spikes, tracing her fingers along the silky jet midnight locks, occasionally taking a longer strand in between her fingers, curling it over her index. And it seemed the man was not displeased by the contact.

"Only if you find a suitable partner." Sakura let a graceful beaming smile lighten her beautiful face, lowering her pure jadeite shining of devotion eyes at the obvious meaning behind Sasuke`s words, feeling his forehead rest on her own, his bangs tickling her cheeks.

"And what do I need to qualify a suitable in your eyes, Sakura?" Of course the charcoal amused eyed Uchiha took his time into sinfully rolling the woman`s name on his tongue, feeling her body tremble in response to his spell.

"…I don't know because I…haven't found someone else better to compare."

A sudden flash of possessiveness shot Sasuke`s system at the simple thought of another one beside him having the taste of the amazing lady in his arms, making him stop his hand from fondling her milky skin, and folded his arms around her waist, tightly hugging her much smaller frame.

"And I can assure you there is no such man out there for you to do so." Sakura was well aware of the words game she was playing but the burning flame in those seductive alive ash irises assured her of his own craving for her, the sight of his masculine features working its magic on her heart, mind and soul, making her hands slide down his neck, palming his shoulder blades, amazed at the smooth texture of the alabaster skin.

"I don't want to do so…with another." She was aware of what she was saying to a brilliant minded man that had a sixth sense for details but she couldn't care less, because that was the most honest thought she was confessing, coming clean in front of him.

"Hn…of course." Sakura placed another timid kiss on Sasuke`s lips quite content of her development, not having enough palpation of the honeyed velour skin shifting in between her partly open mouth, swiftly, but delicately almost like she didn't want to hurt him, finding the proper moment to slip her tongue in his hot mouth, listening to the sound of the skin on skin contact, not minding at all if he rolled his own tongue and teased her own, like they were fighting for dominance.

It was his experience that took over quickly, forcing her to withdraw, nibbling her lower lip to let her know he needed more access then taking his turn in exploring her, just as lost in the feel, urging the movements of his own mouth, pressing her face closer to his on, leaving her breathless and red like a crab.

That radiant archangelic smiles she was giving him, containing the amount of rapture and innocence coming straight from her pure soul was doing funny things into Sasuke`s icy unemotional nature, because he realized it was solely for him to see. The raven haired Uchiha couldn't help but brush some strands of the unique rosy hair out of her face, not believing how incredible superb her delicate feminine features were unfolding in front of his stare.

The precision in lines and curves framing her beautiful face, the glowing ivory skin like the purest lily and the sublime forest-green eyes sewed in tiny golden wires, like Chinese embroidery, illuminating her features even more never ceased to fascinate the young heir, to the point he wanted to find the finest jeweler and cover her in gemstones.

It was there. Tiny indeed, but he felt it struggling to come to the light. The strong feelings he had for her. It was undeniable, he wanted her. And bad.

"I…what are we…Mr. Uchi…"

"Don't even dare to call me by my family name when we are alone, Sakura." She blushed ten times more upon hearing his commanding tone. It made her heart beat faster than normal.

"I asked Naruto-kun about this and he told me that Japanese people use honorifics according to the level of closeness between them."

Sasuke would have liked to protest at the suffix, but he knew all to well that –kun was for friends, although…the image of the two of them embracing in the black car was still nagging his mind.

"That is true."

"And I also asked him about the drop of the suffixes and he told me that…it is for…"

She couldn't say it, no matter how much she tried, lowering her gaze from his deep dark one, biting her slightly bruised lips to prevent another goofy smile to caress her face.

Sasuke knew all to well what was there to be shy about. Intimacy. And it was him who told her not to call him by using honorifics in the first place.

He raised her chin with his index finger, tracing her jaw line in the process, giving the girl in his arms goose bumps all over her arms. "It is for what, Sakura?"

"For…more intimate people…like family members, really close friends or…lovers…do you think of me like this?"

A small smirk. "And? Do we fall in any of the categories?" If there was a way to make Sakura more embarrassed than she was, she would have liked to know, because her hiding her face into the onyx smirking eyed Uchiha`s broad shoulder was a good proof of her shyness. He had a way with his words that threw any self confidence aside, but he was indeed a smooth talker.

"What I know for sure is that we are not members of the same family." The Sound agent turned her body around to rest her small back on her boss` chiseled chest, hear head prompted on his shoulder.

His warm breath was fanning her neck and right ear, making her feel tingling pinches all over her body. It that was his way of talking about them, it was not in the bit uncomfortable.

"Then we are left with the other two options." Sasuke couldn't have been more entertained by the way Sakura did not remove her hand from his hair, like she had a newfound hobby, intently practicing.

Not that he minded. She had the same gentle way of tugging his midnight locks like his mother.

"Like…extremely close friends?" Sakura closed her emerald eyes, relishing in the warm hands resting on her tummy, fingers intertwined in a firm hold.

"It could be but…extremely close friends do not share stolen kisses under the moonlight."

"But Sasuke, the moon has not risen…yet." It was her way of saying to give her more time and a small nod of the sharp minded man confirmed her unspoken words. Everything was easier when it came to the two of them. Their own unique way of communicating.

"Then I am going to let it shine when the time will come…I will wait for you a lifetime." Sakura felt the tip of Sasuke`s nose caressing the sensitive skin behind her ear, then taking her ear shell in between his moist lips, suckling and nibbling gently, sending electric jolts down Sakura`s body, resting at her throbbing damp core in a pleasurable way.

"By the way…I was wondering if you could teach me some basic Japanese…you know, I am tired of shopping for vegetables and get alcoholic beverages instead."

The Sound agent let her long eyelashes connect, titling her head to give her onyx eyed boss more access for his skilful mouth to place butterfly kisses down her neck. It felt incredibly good and romantic.

"Hn…I suppose I could do that. What do you want to know?" Although the raven haired Uchiha found her confession really funny, he was taking much joy at the taste of her supple skin in between his teeth, planting chaste kisses down her long thin neck, suckling and leaving hot trails of saliva down the smooth area, up to the junction of her shoulder. She tasted absolutely divine, making his pulse increase and adrenaline pump through his muscles.

"Well, for instance, how do you greet someone?"

"Konnichi wa." Sakura never heard Sasuke speak Japanese, but the way he articulated the words in his native language was absolutely enchanting and she liked that side of him even more.

"And how would you ask what is this?"

"Kore wa nan desu ka?"

"Hmm…what about I don't understand Japanese?"

"You do not have to state that, it is just obvious." A small frown.

"Sasuke…"

"Watashi wa nihongo ga wakarimasen."

The pink haired lady spotted a small owl crossing the darkened sky, just above the high pin trees, swiftly defying gravity. She pointed her finger in her direction, catching Sasuke`s attention.

"Look. Birds are flying on the sky. How would you say that?"

The jet dark pearl eyed heir thought for a moment. Japanese don't have grammatical rules, so providing an accurate translation was difficult. "Tori ga sora o tobimasu."

"…there is no way I am going to remember this."

"It is not that difficult." Sasuke pressed his lips on her jaw in a long kiss, making his enchanted curious maid to let out a small feminine moan. God was she absolutely divine. He was even more turned on.

"Yeah…for a native. Look…a star. How do I call it?"

"The North Star."

Sakura felt the urge to elbow him for the smartass retort, but that would have meant disturbing him from kissing her neck and that was out of question. It felt too good.

"I know that. I mean how do you say star in Japanese?"

"Hoshi."

Before she could stop herself and realize what she was about to say, Sakura turned her head to face Sasuke, their noses touching in the process, their lips impossibly close.

"What about…I like you?"

The raven haired Uchiha stirred his body for a second, surprised at the unexpected question, but he gave her a manly smirk that made her breath hitch in her throat leaning in and whispering hotly into her ear the words she secretly wished to hear from him, in his low velvety voice:

"Anata ga daisuki desu."

Rivers of happiness were flowing from Sakura`s heart in the moment she heard the words leave her boss` lips and the way he said it made the meaning even more intimate. And she didn't fail to catch the glimpse of a shooting star, in the corner of her shimmering joyful eyes, silently longing for her wish to come true.

Author`s Note: ElevatedJewel let`s see, yes the small moon on Sasuke`s wrist is following the same concept of the transmigration of the souls from the manga, but of course the characters are different in my story. And thank you for the amazing words, like always:)

MyGuiltyPleasure, I don't want to get rid of you as well and hell yeah, I totally worship SasuSaku and if I don't see the two of them together in the end I am going to be really mad! They are perfect together.

SasuSaku I totally have to check on that fic, I swear your nickname made my day. Sorry if I made Suigetsu act a little bit…out of character, but I found it more entertaining this way and yeah, how can you not love him, he is absolutely funny.

SakuraSouen you got the reason about Sasuke right, he indeed used his influence to silence the media and the people that saw the scene were mostly drunk and it was darkness. And Ten Ten and Sakura scene might be coming sooner than you would expect hehe

Thank you guys for all the support and amazing reviews, I am you biggest fan, don't forget;) as well as thank you all for following and reading this story. Hope you like this chapter as well.
