Friend or Lover: Life goes on (Saku x Kaku x Sasu x Yukino)

Christmas Eve - Part 23

Staring at his ceiling for the longest time Laying on his bed, getting lost in his thoughts, his mother's voice reaches him.

"Honey...come on down. *Knock knock* Dinner is just about ready."

He sighs and closes his eyes for a second. 'Why did I come....I don't even feel like being here. I should've just stayed home.' He forces himself to get up, puts on his dress shirt he had hanging on a hanger, and heads out...only to run into his mom. Right in front of his door. Bumping into her a bit, he irritatingly says,

"Mom! What the fu-"

"Sssshh. Now listen here. We're having company tonight for dinner, and I want you to be polite. None of this teen drama. Understand?"

"Teen drama? What do you mean teen dra-"

"Do you understand??" she cuts him off in a serious tone.

He huffs, but answers. "Yeah, whatever. I won't say a word."

"Perfect."

Getting downstairs, he reaches the living room and hears a very, distinctive, deep voice echoing through the house alongside his father's. It was such a familiar voice, but...he couldn't quite place the voice on the person. He takes a quick peek into the living room, takes a glance, and then was about to head to the main table, but his dad catches him.

"Hey, my boy! Come over here. I want to introduce you to someone." 'Oh great...' he says to himself as he tries his best to not roll his eyes.

"Yeah, sure." As he comes closer and closer to the figure sitting on the couch, he realizes just how tall and big this man really was. 'Fuck....I better watch what I say.'

"This here is your uncle." Fully standing in front of him now and in full view, he resembled any and all other Uchiha. Dark, pitch black hair, fair skin, and a captivating look.

"The names Madara." he sticks out his hand for a shake. Sasuke right away takes it to not come off rude and replies with,

"Sasuke." and gives him a firm shake.

"Hey, I like that. Confident. Very nice." he compliments him.

"Hn." he makes a noise.

"He's going to be joining us for dinner tonight as we will be discussing our new plan for the company."

"I see. Well...great." he says, not really knowing what to say exactly. He never wanted to be involved in their family business. Ever. It was too serious...too much for him.

As they all head over to the dining table, they all take a seat and the food follows right after, being placed down the middle. Having a few of his father's co-workers join them this time as well, the discussion began.

"As you all know, Uchiha vision has seen better days." The conversation began, and before long...he heard the words he didn't expect to hear. "I would like to formally announce that our company has a new boss...someone I trust to get things done the right away, and get what we deserve as a family company. Mr. Madara Uchiha." The tall man that was sitting in the living room not long ago stands up. He looked like such a serious, no bullshit man, it was very intimidating. 'So...Madara is just taking over? Why would he need to come over during Christ-'

"Thank you Mr. Uchiha. I would also like to add, I am recruiting top clients to our new offer as far as sponsoring. I will be getting the revenue we deserve and become bigger than Hashirama corps ever was. Trust me." 'Oh shit...' Sasuke thought. 'Did I...hear that right? Oh fuck...this is rich.' A huge smirk crossed his face as he continued to hear the plans coming from Madara, knowing now that the infamous, perfect Mr. Hatake was going to have competition for once...and it was going to be entertaining to say the least.
