Chapter 3
Why here? Why this, could it had been anything BUT this?
Sakura thought as she sat on the floor in a random bedroom of the house. She tried to fix her torn dress that had been ripped 'accidentally' by one of the ladies at the party. They had come up behind her and somehow ripped it with out her noticing it.
Sakura and Tenten had just walked in the Uchiha house (Sakura had learned this when they had arrived) when all eyes were glued on them. The palms of Sakuras hands began to sweat as all eyes where on the two of them. Tenten smiled and looked at Sakura.
"Don't worry. If they haven't seen you before, ther assume your fresh meat. Don't seem afraid or this party….will be like the pits of hell for you." Tenten whispered as she smiled and walked up to a group of people. Sakura not feeling all that up to this now took a deep breath and calmed herself. She followed Tenten as she talked on by one to different groups of people. She introduced Sakura as a friend of hers that was helping her tonight because she wanted to go into this type of business. It was a lie of course but if it stopped the people from giving her evil stares she was okay with it. Sakura smiled and talked to many people when she saw someone who looked familiar to her.
She had long blue hair that went to her waist and purple eyes. She had on a black dress and she seemed to be blushing as the blonde talked to her. Sakura excused herself from the group and Tenten she was talking to and walked over to them. The girl looked at her and smiled. Sakura smiled back at her and cleared her throat.
"I'm sorry but I think I've seen you somewhere before have we met?" Sakura asked curiously. The girl nodded and told her that she worked at the nail salon she went to that morning. Sakura nodded now remembering the girl who did her nails. Sakura tried to remember her name but couldn't.
"What was your name again?"
"H-h-hinata."
"Oh yeah well its nice to see you again."
Hinata nodded.
"Sakura, correct? W-what b-brings you h-h-here?"
Sakura took a glass of Champaign from the waiter that was walking by and took a sip.
"I'm here with my friend Tenten. I told her I would come with her tonight."
Hinata smiled and turned to the blonde who was preoccupied staring at Sakura. Sakura turned and glared at the blonde boy who smirked.
"Your not rich are you?" He asked getting up in Sakura's face.
"No, why do you want to know?"
"You don't talk proper at all."
"Excuse me?" Getting pissed off at him being so close to her face.
"You don't talk like every other female hear is all I'm saying."
Sakura was about to say something when the blonde stood up straight and looked behind her. Sakura noticed Hinata looked down and started fiddling with her nails. Sakura turned around to see what they were looking at.
Two women were walking over to them. They both had long black hair neatly done up in buts and coal black eyes. Sakura almost ran when she saw that the girl was from the salon. Sakura swallowed and remembered what Tenten had said. The women walked right up to the three of them, the older one smiled at Hinata while she and the blonde bowed. The younger girl about Sakuras age glared at her and put her hand on her hip.
"Your not going to bow to Ms. Uchiha? That is extremely ignorant of you."
Sakura looked between her and lady who she called 'Ms. Uchiha' before bowing like Hinata and The blonde. Ms. Uchiha looked at Sakura her smile turning into a confusion.
"I have not seen you around here before, young lady. Are you new to the business?"
Sakura stood up straight and smiled.
"Actually I'm here with a friend of mine, she had invited me too h-"
"She didn't ask you all that. It was a yes or no question." The girl said her voice showing annoyance. Sakura looked at her and frowned.
"I thought she might want a explanation WHY I was here, if I was not here doing business for a certain company." Sakura said looking straight at the girl who glared at her.
"Go on you lady, you said you were here with a friend correct? Who is it?" asked waving a butler over for a drink.
"She's with the Hyuga corporation…Neji's wife actually."
Ms. Uchiha nodded and excused herself.
"Come Gemini lets make our way to the Iwa cooperation. I heard they have been doing well lately. Lets go congratulate them."
Gemini followed Ms. Uchiha across the floor and out of Sakuras sight.
"I can't believe you stood up to Gemini! I like you your okay."
Sakura turned and grinned at the blonde.
"I don't like girls like that, so I try to stand up to them."
The blonde laughed out loud before sticking his hand out.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki."
"Sakura Haruno, its nice to meet you."
Hinata looked at Sakura and gasped.
"S-s-s-s-s-s-sakura…..your d-d-d-dress. Its t-t-t-t-t-t-torn!"
Sakura turned to see the back of her dress ripped, from where her underwear were to her lower thigh. Sakura asked Naruto wear the bathroom was and headed straight for it. She jiggled the handle but it was locked.
"SHIT" She mumbled and walked down the hall trying to find another bathroom. She could feel her dress a little more every time she took a step. Sakura gave up and opened a to her left. She walked in and slammed the door, sliding down to the floor. She looked around to find she was in a bedroom.
Sakura still fiddling with her dress started getting annoyed. She new she couldn't stay in here forever. What could she do? She couldn't go out there or she would embarrass Tenten which would cause a commotion between her and Neji and Sakura didn't want that.
The door to the bedroom opened causing Sakura to freeze where she was. Her head was down and she didn't dare to look up to see who it was.
Sasuke opened the door to his bedroom pulling off his clip on tie. He didn't like ties so he always wore a clip on. Sasuke looked into the room to find a women sitting on his floor her head in her lap. Sasuke confused on how she got in here and angry that she was EVEN in his room sighed and closed the door. He didn't speak to the women, who still sat on the floor. He assumed she was drunk and went to sit in a desk chair on the far side of the room. He pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. Sasuke looked at the girl and cleared his throat.
"Wanna smoke?" He asked his voice sounding cold. The girl jumped at how cold his voice was. She looked at him holding the pack out. She sighed and shook her head. Sasuke put the pack back in his pocket. He sat there and stared for a few minuets before dicding to ask her why she was in his room.
"Who are you and why are you in here?" He asked. The girl looked at him with blank emerald green eyes. She stood and Sasuke saw her dressed ripped all the way up the back. She walked over to him and held her hand out.
"Sakura Haruno. I was hiding in here to avoid embarrassment for my friend who is here on business. I'm so sorry to intrude." Sasuke could since the sarcasm in her voice in the last part. He took her hand and shook it.
"Sasuke Uchiha. Second son of the people who own this house."
Sakura nodded pretending to care. She turned and headed toward the door. Sasuke's eyes narrowed and he growled low in his throat.
"Where are you going?"
"Leaving."
"You going to face embarrassment now I see. Well good luck."
Sakura glared back at Sasuke then grinned.
"Actually I'm going to go find my friend and get the hell out of here."
"You know the party ended an hour ago. Your friend is porbably long gone thinking you ditched her."
Sakura stared wide eyed at Sasuke then cursed under her breath. How the hell was am I suppose to leave now!, she thought her hands on her hips. Sasuke being the oh so gentlemen he is offered to call Sakura a cab. Sakura looked at him and rubbed the back of her neck.
"I don't have any money, my friend told me I wouldn't need any when I got here. All I have is my house keys and my phone."
"Then call someone to come pick you up."
Sakura slapped her forehead and pulled out her phone. She speed dialed Ino and waited for her to pick up.
"Hellooooo…." came a half away voice from the end.
"Ino? Hey it's Sakura…do you think you can come pick me up."
"Weren't you JUST with Tenten?"
"Yeah…it's a long story though. Can you please come and get me?"
"Hmmm….Where are you?"
"I'm…" Sakura turned toward Sasuke. "Where am I again?"
"In my room."
"No shit Sherlock! Where is your house located?"
Sasuke gave Sakura a deadly stare.
"Right outside of Konoha."
Sakura nodded and put the phone back to her ear.
"Right outside konoha Ino."
"EHHH! Do you know how long a drive that is! I can't drive out there now!"
"Ino please I beg of you!"
"I'm sorry Sakura, I'll try to get someone else to come get you."
Sakura hung up the phone ready to throw it against the wall. Sakura picked up the phone again and tried calling her aunt Tsunade who just cussed her out and hung up. Sakura then tried calling her friend Kiba, Temari, and Lee who all said they couldn't came and get her. Sakura sat on Sasuke bed not caring what he had to say and sighed.
Sasuke was about to say something when there was knock on his door before it opened. Sasuke stood quickly cursing as his mother walked in.
"Sasuke we need to talk…Oh….who is this?" Sakura looked up too see the same women as before staring at her. Sasuke put his cigarette out and cleared his throat.
"She's a friend of mine." Sasuke lied.
His mother gave him a small pout and folded her arms across her chest.
"Sasuke, don't be so stubborn. If you had a girlfriend you should have just told me sooner!"
Sakura stood and was about to speak when Sasukes mother shushed her.
"Hmm I wouldn't have guessed my son would pick such a plain women to be his girlfriend but I guess you all right."
Sakura felt her fist clench when she Ms. Uchiha called her a 'Plain women.' Sakura smiled at Ms. Uchiha.
"Ms. Uchiha. I think you have gotten the wrong-"
Sasuke suddenly wrapped his arms around Sakuras slim waist who made a 'eep' sound.
"You absolutely right mother. I chose her to be my bride and loving wife." Sasuke gave his mother a fake smile before glancing at Sakura. She stood shocked and confused in the Uchiha's arms. Ms Uchiha looked between the two off them and the clapped.
"I'm So excited! My baby boy is getting married!" Ms Uchiha called a maid into the room and told her to get a room ready for Sakura. She will stay in the Uchiha household until after they are married. Ms. Uchiha walked quickly out the room to get everything else ready for there new house guest.
Once she was gone Sakura pulled out of Sasuke's grasp and glared at him.
"What the hell was that!" She asked wanting to swing on the Uchiha.
Sasuke sighed and asked her to take a seat. Sakura did so and crossed her legs. She stared at the Uchiha to continue.
"My mother has been nagging me since I turned 18 to get a wife. This afternoon my brother told me she was going to choose a wife for me if I didn't get a girlfriend by tonight."
When Sakura didn't say anything Sasuke continued.
"The women my mothers chooses are straight up bitches. So when she barged in her without waiting for a answer and found you I had to pretend you were my new girlfriend. Now I'm asking you to be my FAKE girlfriend until I find a real one, just to get my mother off my back."
Sakura thought about it for a second before replying.
"Whats in it for me?"
"What do you want?"
Sakura thought about this for a second also before standing up.
"How long do I have to pretend?"
"three months. By that time I will be able to find a girl I like."
"Fine I'll do it but one two conditions."
Sasuke nodded signaling Sakura to go on.
"One. After all this you tell you mom the truth."
"And the second thing?" Sasuke asked.
Sakura grinned.
"You pay me for all my college debts."
"Why?" Sasuke asked.
"Cause." Sakura said holding out her hand. "If I'm here I can't work to pay it off."
Sasuke nodded in understanding and shook Sakura's hand.
"Deal."
R & R PLZZZZZ!
