An Arranged Marriage { A SasuSaku fanfic }

Chapter 18- Plans and Navy

My phone rings as we arrive back at the hospital. Despite Sasuke's protests that I needed sleep, I told him I'd rather be there and pointed out that he needed sleep too. We're both pretty jet lagged, yet the fear of everything going on has us wide awake.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Ah, Sakura!" He says.

"What do you want?" I spit out, not hiding my anger towards him at all.

"Woah, why are you so pissed?" He asks.

"Well I don't know. Maybe because my father hasn't really been my father." I sarcastically respond. He nervously chuckles. "So, what do you want?"

"I was just gonna link you the address of your new house, but thought it best to call up and see how you're doing." He replies.

"Well, I'm fantabulous, thanks for asking." I respond as Sasuke and I head back up to Mikoto's room.

"That's good... listen. We need to talk."

"What is there to talk about?"

"I just... there's too many things I need to apologize for."

"You got that right." I roll my eyes.

"Come swing by soon." He says.

"Whatever. Bye." I hang up as we get Mikoto's room, where we tell the three Uchiha's what we've discovered.

"Hm." Fugaku says. "This is tough."

"They'll be sure to target you three now that they know you know." I add.

"Looks like we'll have to increase the security around here." He says.

"Yep." Itachi agrees.

"What if..." Fugaku thinks, and Itachi, Sasuke and I wait for him to continue. He lowers his voice. "This will be pretty cruel, but... Itachi, I want you to join the Akatsuki."

"What?!" Sasuke and I exclaim, while Itachi looks at him as if to continue.

"Think about it; you could provide intel on them to us."

"And to gain their trust...?"

"I'll provide a dead body and we can make him look like someone important."

"That's not a good idea! He could be killed! He's the heir to the company!" Sasuke argues as I stay silent.

They're both right.

"We'll continue this discussion later. You two, go home and get some rest." Fugaku orders, and I nod. Sasuke and I stand up and head out the door, then drive to the new house that our parents provided us.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Sasuke and I say at the same time, facepalming.

"I can't believe we have to live in a mansion! I'd so much rather be in an apartment." I groan.

"Agreed. But I guess we have to deal with it." Sasuke replies, getting out of the car and standing up. I follow his lead and we grab our luggage, then head up the stairs to our new house.

Our new house.... I'm sharing a house with Sasuke Uchiha....

"Sakura-hime! Welcome back!" Alice says, opening the door. I immediately smile and tackle her in a big hug.

"Alice! How are you?!" I ask as she takes my bag. I grab it back and we fight over it while talking.

"Oh, you know. Same old, same old."

"Oh?"

"How was your honeymoon? Make any cute Uchiha babies?" She asks and I blush, still fighting over the bag.

"My love life does not concern you." I state.

"Oh, you so did." She smirks, then squeals.

"Alice!" I fume, finally letting her have the bag. During the whole ordeal, we both forgot the tall raven standing beside me, who is currently sweat dropping. "Eh, um, meet Sasuke. Sasuke, this is my close friend and personal maid."

"Hello!" Alice says and I roll my eyes as Sasuke 'hn's.' "Oh, let me show you your room." Alice says, turning and leading the way.

"Room...?" I mutter to myself, a blush rising to my cheeks.

"And here we are! Get comfy you two! And we made sure there's soundproof walls so-"

"Thanks Alice." I blush, quickly pushing her out the room.

Sasuke and I unpack our clothes from the trip and once finished, I sit down on the bed and look around the room. It's spacious, the bedroom a dark and inviting navy while the bathroom is a light shade of pink. A small lamp resides on a nightstand on either side on the bed and a master closet resides next to the bathroom. A few nice big windows are spaced out and I fall back onto the navy comforter. Before I know it my eyes close and I pass out.
