Author's note: Sorry for the long update! I was busy with my social life and all. This chapter is heavily influenced by what happened to me during a party I attended as a date for this really tsundere and control freak of a guy. He's quite possessive too and his family is really stuck-up which is a real coincidence since he provided a perfect update for my story. This is a bit long since I wasn't able to post for a few weeks. Oh well, on with the show!

Chapter 4

Itachi smirked at the pinkette as she fidgeted in the car. She wore a dark blue cocktail dress which effectively shows her cleavage and thus, makes her extremely uncomfortable. It is also adorned with the symbol of the Uchiha clan and the symbol of the Akatsuki. The blue and red feather clip on her messy bun hair placed the cherry on top to the outfit. The Uchiha on the other hand, just wore a simple dark blue polo and black pants but it still made him look intimidating and sexy.

Even if she complained and glared at the stoic Uchiha, she had no choice but to wear the eye-catching outfit since it will make the plan work effectively in their favor. She wasn't happy with the arrangement of her being the bait but she just swallowed her pride and allowed her boyfriend to pamper her with different outfits.

Wait…. did she just call Itachi her boyfriend? Sakura shook her head and slapped her cheeks. But didn't she agree to be his girlfriend in exchange for his help? This time, a headache started forming in Sakura's head and she started to bash her head on the seat in front of her. A half-amused, half-confused look remained on the raven's face as he observed the heiress who is currently banging her head on the front passenger seat. He started chuckling and that earned a glare from her.

Sakura opened her mouth to start yelling at him but just then, the car stopped and the door on Itachi's side opened. He got out with a sigh and held out a hand for her to take. "Time to test your acting skills, Sakura." Itachi whispered on her ear as she got out. She felt herself blush from the immediate contact and brushed a stray pink lock behind her ear.

"I'm kind of nervous, Itachi-kun." She whispered back but Itachi just smirked and kissed her forehead, making her blush darken. "You look very beautiful tonight, my cherry blossom. No need to feel nervous." He said out loud as they walked towards the open door but in a lower voice, he added. "If you start becoming nervous now, it would jeopardize this mission. Focus."

Sakura nodded and took a deep breath just as they entered the museum. The people inside suddenly became silent as they started to notice the couple making their way to the center of the room. "Uchiha Itachi, we didn't expect that you'll show up here." Two elderly people approached Itachi with strange calmness. One is a man and the other is a woman, it was apparent to Sakura that they are the advisor of the current Yakuza leader here.

Itachi bowed at them with respect before replying. "I came as a guest and nothing more. I just wanted to speak with my brother and of course, I wanted you to meet my fiancée." He gestured to the shocked Sakura. She took it in stride as she bowed and introduced herself but in her mind, another version of her is fuming all kinds of curses at the raven.

"Hello, my name is Haruno Sakura. It's nice to meet you." She politely said and vaguely noted that the guys in the room are still staring at her. TEME! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY FIANCEE?! Her inner voice shouted in her mind as she smiled.

Itachi glared around the room and it dispersed the stares that Sakura is attracting. The elders stared at Sakura and repeated her name with a thoughtful tone. "Haruno Sakura… You are not by any chance the heiress of the East side Yakuza?" The old man asked her and she glanced at Itachi with a worried look. He nodded for her to continue and she again regained her usual smile. "It's me. I'm just here visiting with my fiancée." She kicked herself mentally for that one before continuing. "Itachi told me that I should visit his area before he visits mine." She said and the two elders looked at each other.

They both nodded at each other and the old woman spoke to her. "I do hope you enjoy your time. We are grateful that Itachi-sama finally found a woman of his caliber to marry and take over the Yakuza. Now if you'll excuse us, we need to attend to the other people in this party." The old woman bowed at the two of them but the old man stayed. "I do hope you are aware of what you are doing, Itachi-sama." He whispered and added before leaving. "Sasuke-dono should be down soon. I don't want any bloodshed in this party so please keep your tempers in check."

Sakura didn't understand what just happened and looked at Itachi for answers. "Mission success." He whispered to her ear before biting it, making Sakura jump. "What-?!" She started to yell but Itachi placed a finger on her lips as he looked behind her. "Well, it seems my weak little brother has come to congratulate us on our engagement, my love." Itachi said it loud enough to attract attention from the other guests. Sakura turned around and saw Sasuke looking infuriated as he walked briskly towards them.

"Itachi! How dare you show your fucking face here?! I'll kill you!" Sasuke yelled just as two of his goons arrived. Juugo restrained Sasuke as Suigetsu whistled when he saw Sakura. "Wow! A goddess made its way to earth!" Suigetsu said out loud, causing Sasuke to turn his gaze to the pinkette who is staring at him with surprise.

"Haruno Sakura. What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked when he somehow calmed down. His face reverted back into its stoic expression and the way he walked towards her reminded her of his older brother. He stopped in front of her and smirked, making her heart skip a beat but not as much as Itachi's.

"I'm just accompanying my fiancée." She said flatly and noticed that Sasuke just stared at them. Itachi's arms wrapped around her neck and she leaned back comfortably on his chest. He kissed her forehead before giving Sasuke a look of triumph. "I win, little brother."

Sasuke gritted his teeth and suddenly, Sakura found herself being pushed aside as Itachi dodged his little brother's punches. "I promised the elders not to let any blood be shed under this roof. Not that you'll be able to scratch me since you are weak." Itachi provoked Sasuke relentlessly as he kicked and punched.

"Sasuke-kuuuuun~ Why did you disappear~?" An annoying voice pierced the air but the Uchiha brothers just ignored it. Well, not until the source of the voice appeared and tackled Sasuke with a hug. Sakura observed the red-haired woman as she doted and pouted with a childish voice at the apparently annoyed Yakuza leader. "Shut up, Karin! I don't need your incessant whining!" Sasuke yelled at the woman.

Somebody grabbed the pinkette's arm, making her tense but it was only Itachi. He hugged her back and they both watched as Sasuke increased in annoyance. "Apparently since you are too weak to get Sakura, you had to find a weak and pathetic wannabe to take her place. How low the Yakuza leader has fallen." Itachi remarked. The woman named Karin stopped and glared at them. "My Sasuke-kun is strong and you are just a traitor who should be killed!" Her gaze fell to Sakura and she scoffed. "Oh please, what is so special about that girl with weird hair? She's not even that pretty to begin with."

Sakura felt her blood start to boil and she glared at Karin. "Oh? What's so special about a red-haired bimbo compared to the heiress of the Yakuza of the East?" Sakura said with a raised brow but Karin just turned her nose at her and yawned. "I don't care~ So what? You're still not pretty and Sasuke-kun doesn't love you like he loves me~ You're not worthy for MY Sasuke-kun! You're only worthy for a disgusting traitor like him." Karin pointed at Itachi and Sakura clenched her fists in anger.

Suigetsu elbowed Juugo as they watched the showdown unfold and he commented with glee. "Girl fight, bro! This is just awesome!" Suigetsu said with a grin. Sakura glared at Karin while Itachi and Sasuke had their stare-down. "Besides, I don't see why you should even be an heiress when you're apparently weak and frail~" Karin said flippantly and Sakura snapped.

"SHANNARO!" She yelled as she ran towards Karin and punched her with her chakra-infused fist. Karin let out a yell of pain as she got hit on the face and landed with a thud on the other wall. Sasuke stared at Sakura with a new admiration while everyone else ogled with shock.

The pinkette breathed hard and emitted a dark aura that caused everyone to take a step back from her except for the two Uchihas. "Nobody insults me in that way and lives but we promised not to shed any blood here so I'll let you live for another day." She said threateningly at the sobbing Karin. She glared at Sasuke and walked towards Itachi while trying to restore her hair back to its messy bun.

Itachi suddenly grabbed her by the waist and kissed her passionately in front of everyone in the room. Sakura tried to push him away but felt her strength melt away as his kiss deepened. He pulled back before it got too heated up and announced. "This party is over. Just like what you call your pathetic group as a weak imitation of Yakuza."

Sakura tensed when she saw a movement from Sasuke and clutched Itachi's arm to get his attention. The younger Uchiha trained his gun towards Itachi with a cold merciless look. "You are a traitor. Your word means nothing to us. Now, go ahead and die!" He yelled with anger but Itachi just smirked.

"You still have a lot to learn, little brother." Itachi said before the lights suddenly went out and when it came back on, the couple was gone. "FIND THEM!" Sasuke yelled to the guards. "Kill Itachi but bring the girl alive to me!"

Meanwhile, Sakura clutched Itachi's neck tightly as he ran along the underground tunnel. They saw Hidan and the man named Kakuzu waiting for them near the exit. Hidan wielded his scythe with a maniacal laugh. "Can I fucking sacrifice someone now?" He asked as Itachi stopped behind him and let Sakura down from his back.

Itachi surveyed Sakura's hand and kissed it before saying. "Do whatever you want. Our mission has been completed and the seed has been planted." He grabbed Sakura's hand and they walked towards the waiting black sports car.

When they were out of sight of the two, Itachi suddenly grabbed Sakura and slammed her on the door of the car. Before the pinkette could protest, his lips suddenly went crashing down hers with such force that she had to lean on the car door. Sakura let out a moan as they deepened the kiss and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Itachi broke the kiss and kissed her neck before opening the door. "Where are we going?" Sakura asked with her whole face burning from the intensity of their kiss. Itachi glanced at her and smirked. "To your house. You need to explain to your aunt that we're engaged of course."
