Chapter 10

No one's POV

"Hey, isn't that… I thought I saw Hinata-chan…" said Naruto as he scanned the crowd. Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Don't you think you are seeing her often?" asked Sasuke as they reached the office door.

"But I really saw her! Well, don't you think she may be related to Hyuuga's?" said Naruto, referring to her eyes, as he walked beside Sasuke. "Well, I'll check it out then! May be she works here…" he added as he dashed in the direction where he thought he saw Hinata.

'What's with the Dobe…' thought Sasuke as he entered the office.

Sakura's POV

"What are you doing here?!" I asked, bewildered. 'Oh no! This is bad! What's he doing in my office?!' I thought.

'Yeah! This is bad! What if he is one of the people from industry?!' said my inner voice. Looks like she was about to faint! I sweated.

'And what if he is… Then what?!' I thought. 'And he is staring at us…' stated my inner voice. It is obvious…

No one's POV

Sasuke just blinked twice as he watched her. There was an awkward silence for few seconds after Sakura asked the question. Sasuke was the first to break the silence.

"Hn. So you're Haruno Sakura?" asked Sasuke with a blank face. Sakura gripped her cup tighter as her eyes narrowed. Well, that confirms it… Sasuke smirked. Sakura's eyebrow twitched.

"Yes. I'm Haruno Sakura" said Sakura and stepped forward. "And what are you doing here?" she repeated her previous question. 'If he is from industry, then I'm dead! It'll also affect Company! And then Tsunade-sama….!' She thought.

"I'm here to ask you about the Magazine" said Sasuke, monotonously, looking at her.

Sakura raised her eyebrows at that. 'So he's not from industry?' thought Sakura as she sighed and kept her cup on the desk beside her. She stood a few feet away from him.

"It has nothing to do with you. And there is everything in THAT magazine that you want to know!" said Sakura as she was already tired of explaining the same thing to others over and over. 'Oww…my head hurts…'

"So it's true then, huh?" asked Sasuke, pressing on the matter. He suddenly looked intimidating to Sakura. She gulped. He took a step towards her with a smirk evident on his lips.

"You're not lying, are you, Sa-ku-ra?" he continued as he stood in front of her, invading her personal space.

'Is it my imagination or he's actually emitting a dark aura?' Sakura thought and sweated.

Sasuke looked down at her as he was a head taller than her and they stared at each other. 'Do something! He's just trying to scare you!' screamed Sakura's inner voice.

"O-Ofcourse! I'm not!" exclaimed Sakura as she glared at him.

'She's still standing and glaring at me. Interesting… And still lying…' thought Sasuke. But soon she looked aside as if she was ashamed…? Guilty…? And then she sighed. She looked like she was thinking and contemplating on something. He blinked once then.

"Look it's just…" she started but soon the door to the office opened revealing her boss, Lady Tsunade.

"Uhh…" said Tsunade and closed the door behind her.

Tsunade cleared her throat as both Sakura and Sasuke looked at her, still unaware of their close proximity. Tsunade smirked as she looked at Sasuke and then at Sakura.

"Sakura, you do know that this is working hour, don't you? So…" asked Tsunade, amusement hidden in her voice. Sakura jolted a step back as she realized the situation, looking abashed. Sasuke just stood where he was, expressionless.

"Tsunade-sama?! It's not what you…" started Sakura but Tsunade cut her off putting her hand up as she came forward. She was looking at Sasuke as if inspecting him.

"So… He's your boyfriend… Uchiha Sasuke… Hmm…" said Tsunade as she glanced at Sakura.

"EH?!" exclaimed Sakura but was obviously ignored. Well… Lady Tsunade was busy introducing herself. Sakura sweat dropped.

"Tsunade Senju, Sakura's boss. Nice to meet you!" said Tsunade as she introduced herself and smiled at Sasuke.

Sasuke was already pondering over his thoughts but he has to introduce himself, out of politeness. He sighed inwardly. He opened his mouth to speak but Tsunade beat him to it.

"I already know who you are, Uchiha Sasuke!" said Tsunade, obviously happy at the moment. Sakura looked at the two.

"It's nice to meet you too, Lady Tsunade" he greeted. He obviously had heard about Lady Tsunade. Sasuke looked at Sakura only to find her bewildered look.

Sakura panicked as she flailed her hands. "Ts-Tsunade-sama! It's not what you think!" she said again, well, tried to…

Sasuke smirked. 'Hn. So this is how it is. Too bad she messed with a wrong person' he thought.

"So, would you like to have a drink?" asked Tsunade to which he declined politely.

'Now this lie will get back at you, Haruno Sakura' thought Sasuke, as he again glanced at Sakura. Sakura glared at him. He smirked.

'What's with that smug look?! He looks like he is plotting something!' thought Sakura as her eyes narrowed at him, 'Ugh! The nerve of that guy! He's not even clearing the misunderstanding!'

'I say just apologize to him for your previous behavior! May be he'll show some mercy!' exclaimed her inner voice.

'Whose side are you on?! CHA! Oh no! He's going to spill the truth! What do I do?!' Sakura yelled in her mind, as she saw him opening his mouth to speak.

Sakura made her way towards Sasuke as he started speaking. "Actually, I came here…". Before he could say anything more, Sakura interrupted.

"W-wait! I… I mean I need talk to you NOW!" said Sakura, urgency in her voice, as she grabbed Sasuke's forearm and started to drag him out.

Sasuke followed as she dragged him and she was surprised that he did without complaining. Tsunade blinked then smiled looking at them.

She waved, "Come again!"

Meanwhile…

"Hey! Hinata-chan! So I was right after all!" exclaimed Naruto as he found Hinata carrying some files. He popped in front of her. She jumped at that and her files scattered on floor.

"N-Naruto-kun…?" she squeaked. She put her hand on her heart to calm down. She plopped down to pick her files as Naruto followed suit. He scratched the back of head.

"Sorry, my bad! I didn't mean to scare you!" said Naruto as he helped her.

Hinata smiled shyly at him, "I-It's okay…". They stood back up as Naruto handed her the files.

"What are you doing here, Naruto-kun?" she asked.

"Oh! I'm here with my friend for some… work… I guess?" replied Naruto, thinking. "Sorry, Hinata-chan… I can't tell you about it…yet. It's… what's that word again….? Uh yeah, confidential!" he said and smiled apologetically.

Hinata smiled at him. "Ah, it's alright, Naruto-kun!" said Hinata when a new voice came.

"Hey? Who are you? Hinata-chan, he's not picking up on you, is he?" asked Tenten as she approached them.

"No, Tenten-chan! He's uhh… Uzumaki Naruto-kun…" said Hinata as she looked at Tenten, surprised by her arrival. Tenten could see Hinata's slightly rosy cheeks and smirked.

"Is that so? I'm Tenten! Nice to meet you! I didn't know Hinata-chan have friends outside…" said Tenten, nudging Hinata by elbow and looked at Naruto. Naruto grinned. Hinata blushed more.

"Nice to meet you too, Tenten-chan! Sorry if I had disturbed you in your work. Well, I gotta go now! See ya around!" exclaimed Naruto as he heard his phone rang. In a flash, he was out of sight.

Tenten looked at Hinata and grinned. "He seems to be a good guy! I approve!" exclaimed Tenten as she folded her arms.

Hinata looked abashed, "Eh?!"

With Sasuke and Sakura…

"What were you doing? Uchiha Sasuke, huh? Have you even seen him?" asked Sakura as she folded her arms and narrowed her eyes. Sasuke looked at her plainly. They were both standing in an isolated area, outside the company.

Sasuke rolled his eyes at that. He ignored her question and asked instead, "What is your purpose behind this, Haruno Sakura?"
