Recap:
Sakura's P.O.V
When I got home I flopped down the sofa and sighed. I stood up quickly when I remembered about Daisuke. "Where is he?" I searched through my apartment, doors to doors but there is no sign of him so I looked at the book then saw his pictures were there. "So he went back to the book again." I said as I put the book down in my table. I jumped due to surprise because my phone rung and I looked at the caller id, I answered it quickly when I saw Ino was calling.
"Hello, What is the matter pig." I said as I rummage through my refrigerator.
"I-I n-need y—hiccups your hiccups help hiccups."Ino said between her cries.
"Nani? Why are you crying, Who made you cry? Huh? Tell me , I'm gonna beat him into pulp."Sakura said as was still rummaging through the refrigerator.
"you didn't get it forehead It's like this our company need a big money"
"What? Why?"Sakura was stopped from what she is doing.
"Our company was bankrupted due to bad debts, and I don't want my parents to know this." Ino said as she started to cry again.
"How much you will need?" Sakura asked worriedly
A minute later
"WHAT! I don't have that money to help you , You know what I earned is just enough for my living, Geez What did you do? What are we going to do? Don't worry I'll help you , but for today just forget it and have a sleep okay?"Sakura said worriedly.
"Okay." Ino said as she ended the call.
"Where will I get that money?" Sakura questioned herself as she put both of her hands in her face. As something popped out of her mind.
FLASHBACK
"I need you to be my fiancée for one month. If you ever changed your mind call me. And if you accept the offer I'll give you lot of money to sustain your needs and you'll get it after the one month of pretending." Sasuke said as he started to walked off.

CHAPTER 7
"No way I'm going to accept his offer."Sakura hissed as she sighed in frustration and said, "But Ino needs the money and I already told her that I will help her." She stood up and went to her bed and sleep as she closed the light, when she fall asleep, there at her table laid her draft book that begun to turned pages on itself as it stopped, a bright light formed and Daisuke came out. As this happens Sakura stirred lightly in her bed as Daisuke came closer to her and sat beside her. "You're still beautiful when sleeping." Daisuke reached for her porcelain face as he held it and caressed it with his calloused hands. He stayed like that for awhile, then he stood up and kissed her forehead. When he is about to leave he heard a small voice, he turned again, he saw Sakura's lip is moving and said, "Sasuke..."
"You really do love him don't you? Maybe not love, but you are interested towards him?" Daiduke said as he gave a true smile. "But I won't let that guy hurt you. If ever you both will be a couple, If he ever hurt you, I'll surely take you from him." He said as he again took his leave.

As Sakura opened her eyes, She tried to remember her dreams as she walked towards her kitchen and opened her refrigerator and took out the cold water and placed it on the table. She then walked towards at the end of the room and reached for the cabinet and took out a glass. She walked towards the table together with the glass on her right hand and poured herself a cold glass of water and drunk it as she sat on a chair. She then reached for the bread on the basket that was in front of her. When she was about to take a bite, the images of her dreams popped out of her mind. She nearly dropped the bread on her hand due to shocked, but hopefully she catched it before it touched the ground . "Why is that bastard was on my dreams, also Daisuke? Oh! And why does Daisuke k—kiss my forehead and telling that that bastard and I will be a couple? Was he insane of thinking that way?" She stuttered. "Why am I blushing? What Daisuke thought will never ever going to happen! " She yelled at herself as she emphasize the never ever word. Her train of thoughts was stopped when her phone rang. She picked it and answered, " Hello, Sakura speaking , How can I help you?"
"Sakura It's me, Ino, can I come to your house?" Ino said.
"Oh! Ohayou! And Yah you can."Sakura said as she finished the last piece of the bread she was eating earlier. "Thanks forehead!" Ino said cheerfully.
"You know that my house is always open for you pig."
"I'll be right there, a second or so."
"Okay, I'll be waiting."Sakura said as she said her goodbyes and ended the call.

Sasuke's P.O.V
As soon the sun light struck through my face, I felt the warm on my face. I opened my eyes as I sat up in my bed and checked on my cell phone at the table that is near on my bed. 'Why was she still not calling me? Was she that serious not to accept my offer? God I hope she will if not, where would I find someone like her, a person where I am safe that I will not fall in love and vice versa.' Ithought for a moment and got up and took a shower. A minute passed, I opened the door of my bathroom and went out as I walked towards my cabinet to picked for clothes, since I do not have a work, I just put my usual clothes, a black t –shirt and a shorts. I took my cell phone in the same table and just held it while watching, hoping that Sakura would give me a ring.

One hour later
A knocked was heard at the Haruno residence, Sakura then opened the door. Upon opening the door, Sakura saw her best friend standing in front of her with her luggage. Ino then threw a hug on Sakura. As Ino entered the house, Sakura noticed the luggage that ino was holding, " What are those?" She asked while pointing at the luggage. "Err clothes, because I'm going to stay in your house." Ino said sadly. Sakura noticed it and asked worriedly "Why, What happened to your house?"
"My parents found out. They said that If I'm not going to fix it, I cannot go back home." Ino said with a low tone. Sakura then asked her to sit on the dinner table.
"What! But how?" Sakura asked as she prepared a glass of water for her friend.
"My PA told them, but I can't blame my PA, if she wouldn't tell the truth, she will be fire. And besides, I'm the one who is at fault."
"Sorry to hear that. So that means that you are fired by your parents? Oh! By the way have you eaten breakfast already?"
"Yes and yeah I haven't eaten anything yet since I left home."
"Ah! Want some bread?" Sakura asked as she handed the bread to Ino. Ino accepted it and ate it while eating , "Hey forehead, when can we start to find higher Jobs, for me to pay the money loses of my parent's company?"
"Oh, about that, someone offered me a job."
"What kind of job is that?" Ino said as she drunk a glass of water.
"Ermm .. he told me that if I will be pretending to be his fiancée for one month." Sakura looked at her lap as Ino screamed, "What! Let me guess was that Sasuke?"
"H—How did you know?" Sakura stuttered as Ino eyed her teasingly.
"Because, Sasuke was the only guy that you always meet accidentally, and he is the only one guy you met except for Sai and Daisuke. And Daisuke can't be asking you since he is from the book ." Ino said smilingly and said again "Why don't you accept it?"
"I don't want." Sakura said as she poured herself a water.
"Why?"
"What if I accept it, then he would look at me as a user, and I don't like it." Sakura said as she raised her hand to her mouth to drink the water then placed it again on the table.
"Just go for it, anyways what if after the one month of pretending, you two will be a true couple?"
"No way!"
"Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee! Sakura." Ino said pleadingly, her obsidian orbs became watery as she pouted her shinny lips.
"Fine I'll do it! If it wasn't for you..." Sakura said as she reached for her cell phone. She dialled the number of Sasuke as Ino came to her side and asked her "What are you doing?"
"Calling him." before Ino can speak again, Sakura started to talked to the other line of the phone.
"Sakura, Have you think about the offer?"a deep voice was heard on the other line.
"I—um well umm—yah!" Sakura said while Ino put her ears near the phone.
"..."Sasuke didn't answer because he was teasing her
"Why aren't you saying anything? Was the offer off?"
"So you are interested." Sasuke smirked, thinking that if he continue to tease her, eventually she would change her mind. Knowing her attitudes.
"O—of course n—not ! It's – it's just that my friend needs the money. That is why I'm accepting your offer." Sakura can tell that Sasuke was smirking. She said was she have to said, but proudly as possible but still she felt embarrassed knowing that she ate what she had said to him last time they met.
"Hn, just meet me at the konoha park tomorrow." Sasuke said as he ended the call.
"What did he said?" Ino said excitedly as she noticed a light pink crept on Sakura's cheeks and again she asked, "Are you feeling alright or are you blushing?" As Ino finished the last words she smiled teasingly at Sakura.
"No!" Sakura protested.
"Then what?" Ino pointing a finger at her and said "Just admit it forehead you like him."
"No way! I just remember something."
"Fine. You said so." As Ino continue to eat some of the breads. But Sakura, well what is on her head?
FLASHBACK
"Why would I do that? Huh?" I said as I crossed my arms and looked at him. Now it is his time to talk.
"Because I said so." He said as he lower his head towards mine. I pulled back and yelled
"Who do you think you are? A prince? "
"Well I do look like a prince, don't you agree? Sasuke said while smirking
"Hah! In your dreams jerk!" Sakura said as she talked to herself silently 'Well he do look like.' She didn't noticed that a shade of pink was crept on her face.
"Liar and yeah you're blushing."Sasuke said while smirking as he started to walked and pocketed his hands leaving the embarrassed Haruno.
"No I'm not!" Sakura said angrily as her face became redder because the Uchiha noticed it. She fasten her pace to catch up, until they were beside with each other, Sakura noticed Sasuke was still smirking and it pissed her.
"And why me of all people? Why choose me? Will you stop smirking or else... or else" Sakura couldn't think of any excuse to threaten the Uchiha
"Or else what?"Sasuke said as he lower his head. Their forehead and nose was now touching until their lips were inches apart.
"Wh-what a-are you doing?"Sakura said with wide eyes. Still Sasuke continue as she continue to step backwards until her left feet touched the wall. 'Oh my, is he going to rape me' Sakura thought as her back slammed the wall gently and as she closed her eyes tightly
END OF FLASHBACK
Sakura's face gets redder and redder, She was snapped out of her thoughts when Ino said, "You really like him. This is the first time I saw you like that towards the opposite gender."
Sakura widened her eyes and didn't protested to what Ino had said. She just kept quiet and looked at her friend while eating a bread, but a moment later she spoke "Stop it will ya!" as she grabbed the bread that was on Ino's hand and took a bite. Ino was surprised by the action of her companion, but in the end looked at each other's eyes and laugh hard.

Sasuke's P.O.V
As Jiro brought the food inside my room , he noticed me and said, "Young master, waiting for someone to call you?" I stared at him and said,
"Hn, how did you know about that?" as I took the tray from his hand and put it on my side table.
"Well it is strange, you didn't like texting or anything that will involve phone activity."
"..."
"Young master about what brother told you? Have you already-"
"Yah, I've already convinced her." I said as I eat my food. I noticed Jiro's confused face and he asked me again, "Convinced? Her?"
"Yah, her name is Haruno Sakura, she has strange pink hair and personality, she is too way dfferent from the other girls. So I convinced her to be my fiancée for a month." Sasuke said as he drunk an orange juice and saying it like it was not a big deal.
"But that was too dangerous, what if she-"
"She fall in love? Of course not we had a deal."
"Feelings won't be stopped. Just make sure that after this agreement, there won't be hurt, especially that Sakura."
"Hn.."Sasuke handed the tray to Jiro, as Jiro leaved the room.

Sasuke's P.O.V
What Jiro told me awhile ago kept on repeating on my head. "Feelings won't be stopped. Just make sure that after this agreement, there won't be hurt, especially that Sakura."
'Well, I have to make sure that we both don't have feeling for each other as the agreement goes on for one month. I have to do something for her to hate me and not love me, I don't want to stuck with a girl like that in my whole life.' I thought as I was staring out of space in the dimly room.
"Why am I caring for that girl, if she is hurt then I don't care! She knew from the start that feelings involve in this agreement is not allowed. Damn it!" I said as I flopped down my bed, staring at the ceiling as her face flashed on my mind. 'What is so special about you? Why are you always on my mind?'
"I hate it! Hate this feeling!" I yelled as I decided to sleep.
XXX
Jiro's P.O.V
Before I completely left the and went to the kitchen. I listen to Young master's door. "Young master, really is interested to that Sakura. But he kept on denying it." I murmured as I shook my head lightly and smiled.
Done! What do you think will Sasuke going to tolerate his feelings towards her? What is he going to do when he or Sakura will have feeling towards each other? ^_^!
