Chapter Three
"You must be Sakura, I am Shisui. Your hubby's cousin" The male with the shaggy raven hair and warm onyx eyes flashed him a big smile. He reminded her of her best male friend in Konoha, Naruto. She felt herself tear up as she remembered the people she had left in Konoha, she felt as if she had betrayed them. She did lie to them but it was to protect them but like as the saying goes "The end does not justify the means".
Shisui watched the girl in pity he had seen her cousin treat women quite badly. He saw a tear escape her beautiful emerald hues which he raised his hand to wipe the tear of her face. She gave him a weak smile and he rolled his eyes at her pathetic attempt.
"Pretty girls like yourself should not cry, you're all dolled up and we wouldn't want to soil your dress and face" Shisui teased and gave the girl an assuring smile.
"Aa, It's nice to meet you Shisui-san" Sakura smiled in return as she held out her hand which he shook. Shisui offered her his arm which she linked hers with.
"Let me give you a tour of the manor, Sakura-chan" Shisui dragged her around the huge manor. He had told her about everyone who lived in the house and what everyone was like. He taught her how to survive in her own personal hell, and lastly he made her forget. Why couldn't he be the one she had to marry?
"Sakura-chan, we should head back since we've been walking for the whole day, I don't want my baby cousin having a fit." They stopped and when she thought about it she felt as if she had been walking around for what seemed like a few minutes, she felt as if her time with Shisui wasn't enough. If she had been married to him, she would have been happy and she would have a bearable life.
"Can't we stay longer?" Sakura scowled, he took her away from the nightmare, away from her own personal living hell. She did not want to go back, she did not want to get hurt.
"Sakura-chan, he won't be there" Shisui knew what she was thinking. He managed to know her in the few hours they've been together, she felt as if she was safe when she was with him.
"Oh" Sakura pouted but nodded. "Alright let us head back" Shisui wrapped one arm loosely around her waist and lead her back to the main house. It took a while to go to the main house, and in the time to go there they learned more about each other and slowly became quite fond of each other's company.
"Ah! Sakura-chan, you look beautiful!" A female with long black hair and shimmering onyx eyes squealed as she pulled the confused rosette out of Shisui's grasp.
"Thank you?" The rosette looked quite frazzled, she returned the hug awkwardly.
"Auntie, kindly release her. She's kinda turning blue" Shisui chuckled as he tried to pry off his auntie's hand off Sakura to only receive a glare from the gentle woman which was his aunt. 'Auntie?' Sakura processed who this beautiful woman was her new mother-in-law, Mikoto Uchiha.
"We're gonna have dinner, care to join us Shisui-chan?" Mikoto gave a small smile after releasing her new daughter. Shisui had no choice as he was ushered to the dining table.
The woman had prepared Soba Noodles, Takoyaki, Onigiri, Nigiri Sushi, Kobe Beef Steak and Dango. The aroma of the exquisitely cooked food was hard to say 'no' to. Sakura claimed the chair beside Shisui after she set the table and the silverware.
"Mikoto" A voice called, it was him, her new father-in-law, Fugaku Uchiha. He looked at his wife bustling in the kitchen and his eyes softened visibly, they have been in an arranged marriage but they loved each other very much and they were the bestest friends.
"HEYY UNCLE!" Shisui smirked and waved at his uncle who chuckled at his nephew's antics. Fugaku nodded to show that he acknowledged Shisui's presence.
"Sakura, it's nice to finally meet you" Fugaku smiled at his new daughter, and sat on the end chair on the dining table.
"Where could Sasu-chan and Tachi-chan be?" Mikoto frowned as she sat near her husband and stared at the 2 seats that were not occupied. She sighed as she watched the food she cooked as she waited for her sons who were late.
"Kaa-san, Tou-san" A male with raven hair and onyx eyes sat himself down beside Sakura. Emerald met cold onyx eyes and she flinched, it was him.. Her husband. The fear was evident in her eyes which shocked the family, the beautiful rosette woman was tearing up at the sight of their eldest son.
"Sakura-san, are you okay?" Itachi looked at the girl with worry. Sakura looked at him as if he grew another head and realized it was not him. His onyx eyes had a dash of beautiful smoky quartz colour. She nodded and she wrapped her arms around he and cried in his arms. It was her savior on the altar.
Another man arrived, now she was sure it was him. He had cold and calculating eyes, he had a permanent scowl on his face. Her heart raced as she gazed into his deep onyx hues that seemed to give off a dangerous vibe.
"Sakura-chan, Fraternizing with the first Uchiha you see? I told you she was a gold-digger. Marrying to get the Uchiha name? Such low that I cannot comprehend." Her husband jeered as he glared at her.
"Sasuke!" Mikoto scolded her younger son and chased after the rosette woman who ran away in tears. She had looked like a puppy who has been kicked, Mikoto felt bad about setting this girl up with his son hoping she'd change him. She felt so bad that she made Sakura's life into this, and with that she felt hot tears trail down her face.
"What the fuck was that Sasuke?" Fugaku stood up from the table and paced angrily towards his younger son. "Why do you think she deserves to be treated like her? She didn't want this as much as you" Fugaku walked out and proceeded to his room.
"I refused to marry her in the thought that you'd be better for her than I am. I am not gonna scold you for this is also my fault. Sasuke, I want you you treat her right. If you don't I'll have to be the one to. It would be a shame to lose such a beautiful, kind, sweet and intelligent woman such as she is" Itachi warned as he proceeded to his room.
Author's Note: THERE, TADAH! It's Sasuke. This Chapter isn't really as thought out as the others, sorry about that. The next would be better, I hope. (: Read, Review, Follow and Favorite.
