"Well holy fuck, is that Sasuke and Sakura?"
"The Sasuke? No.."
"They can't be on a date right? They probably just bumped into each other."
"Yeah, don't worry too much about it."
A group of three girls eyed the pair in disbelief from where they were sitting, exchanging ideas on why the young Uchiha would be eating with another girl at a high-class restaurant about every three seconds.
"Well, she's pretty poor so Sasucakes probably just feels bad for her."
The screech of a microphone clamored throughout the whole restaurant, meeting groans and whoas from almost every single person present.
"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen," Itachi cleared his throat, standing on the stage. "Hi, I am the owner of this restaurant, Itachi Uchiha. You may know my family as the owners of the excellent automaker, Uchiwa Motor Company." He paused, looking at the customers warmly. "It is almost time for the company to have a new head." The customers all nodded at each other, as if it was obvious who the new owner would be. Why the hell else would Itachi be talking? "However, it is not I who would be taking over the company," Itachi continued, gathering "whats" and even more confused looks. "but my younger brother over here, Sasuke." He held out a hand to his sibling, who stood up, hands in his pockets, and giving a slight bow. "and I am very happy to announce that my little brother, as of today, is engaged." Itachi looked at Sakura, who gaped at him in shock. "Sakura, will you introduce yourself please?"
The three girls nearly fell off their seats.
Sakura looked at Sasuke, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. The young man simply mouthed "just get up," and returned to smiling at the customers.
She had no choice.
She slowly stood up to a sea of anxious faces. "Hi, I am Sakura Haruno," her sentence dissolved to a squeak when she felt a hand take hers. Sasuke held up her hand, as well as his, to show the rings.
"Everyone, please wish this young couple a blessed future," Itachi remarked. The whole restaurant flurried with applauses.
One of the three girls got out her phone, and quickly took a picture of the two.
"Wait till Karin hears about this.."
"Oh my GOD, Sasuke what was that!" Sakura cried as she trotted behind her seemingly nonchalant "fiancé." "That's not fucking cool! Why didn't you tell me that would happen. OH MY GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS."
An irritated sigh escaped from the young man's lips. "Calm down, it's over."
"Sasuke, everyone will know about this, I hope you know that."
"I was aware of that in the first place." Sasuke said calmly and Sakura shrieked. "Don't worry about it."
"Don't worry abo- okay you know what, fine. I'm seriously too tired and angry and dumbfounded to even argue." Sakura plopped on the sidewalk. "Fuck it."
"Sakura, stand up."
"Asshole."
"Don't do this."
"Douche."
"At least sit down on the fountain, it's only a few yards away. It won't look good if the new fiancé of the young leader sits down on the sidewalk." Sasuke said, exasperated.
"Fuck you."
Sasuke looked down at the girl, giving her his infamous "do it or die' stare. Sakura glared back, with the utmost determination to remain glued to the sidewalk.
"Fine. Do what you want." Sasuke finally said, and continued walking. Sakura stared at him angrily, cursing him mentally.
But then again the sidewalk was dirty…
"Hn, decided to change your mind?" Sasuke put on a little smirk, after hearing fast-paced footsteps.
"The ground is filthy. Don't talk to me." Sakura bitterly uttered. "You could have at least told me Itachi was going to make an announcement. God, you never tell me anything. I never know what it is with you."
"Stop talking if you don't want me to talk to you. And he said he was going to make an announcement, remember." Sasuke looked at his infuriated classmate.
"Shut up, okay. Just shut up." Sakura retorted. "Asshole."
Sakura walked into the classroom the next morning with a number of claps, and a number of enraged eyes.
"Congratulations, Sakura!"
"Good luck you two."
"Why you."
"Lucky bitch is gonna be rich!"
The pink-haired teen felt her cheeks burn as she took his seat next to the who greeted her with an awfully cocky smile. "Good morning, darling." To Sakura's surprise, the raven-haired boy gently took her hand and put his free arm around her. He leaned closer to give her a kiss on the forehead.
"I shoulda taken a picture of that!" Cries from the other students emerged.
Sakura gave Sasuke a sheepish, but extremely fake, grin. "Hehe, fuck you." She whispered.
"When and where?" Sasuke rebutted, only to have Sakura pinch his stomach. "Hn. Kidding." He lowered his voice to a whisper. "Please, I'm sorry. We have to make this as believable as possible."
"Whatever, dick." Sakura retorted, but kissed his cheek anyway.
"All right everyone, go back to your seats." Asuma exclaimed happily as he walked into the classroom.
"You two are the worst friends anyone could ever ask for!" Ino whined at lunch time, met with firm nods and other complaints.
Naruto was about to cry. "How could you guys not tell us!" He gorged on the sandwiches on his tray. "I mean, Sasuke, I've been your friend for like millions of years and Sakura you're my best friend, I just-" He wiped his mouth with a napkin, as if that was enough class to make up for his talking while chewing.
Sakura began. "It's actually-"
"A funny story," Sasuke interrupted. "Company leaders need to have wives. Come on, Sakura." He grabbed her wrist, taking her away from the boisterous group. The two made their way to a secluded spot out the grounds, a bench by the garbage cans.
"No one can know this is a fake engagement, Sakura." Sasuke stated, releasing his grip from the girl's wrist, which was now pretty red.
"Sorry, I didn't know!" Sakura exclaimed. "Like I said, you never tell me anything. And I've been thinking. This whole thing will totally affect me. I might not even get to a good college. 'Oh this girl is getting married at that age, disgusting' they will say. Dude! I'm worried as hell." Sakura bit her lip, and then her nails.
"Stop that. It's gross." Sasuke commanded, but this was met with a "fuck off" from the girl. "Don't worry too much," he muttered.
"You know what would be funny? If we actually ended up falling in love with each other." Sakura let out a hearty laugh. "Haha, hell no."
"Don't get your hopes up." Sasuke rolled his eyes. He stared at his classmate, as she bit her nails, her other hand tapping hastily on her knuckles. Her ring flickered. He took her left hand, the one she had been chewing her nails on, and held it for a moment, his eyes focused on the ring. Sakura watched him, as he began to stroke her hand with his thumb. She felt something churn in her stomach, as if a huge black hole had been created inside. The Uchiha looked at her with his black, incomprehensible eyes, and as they faced each other, galaxies began to form inside the girl's stomach. A whole new universe was inside the seemingly endless black hole.
"Sasuke," Sakura broke off the silence. "I'm hungry.
SO, how have you all dearies been? I'm sorry this took WAY too long. But, I have done countless history essays and responses this past school year so hopefully my writing did get better. And forgive me if this chapter does not make up for the incredibly long delay. I literally just threw all this in two hours. I hope you guys like it, and I truly do apologize for the wait ;^; Any kind of review is appreciated, unless if it's a "sasusaku sucks go die" then screw you, bitch.
