Working for Mr. Sasuke Uchiha

Chapter 9: Italy

The characters from "Naruto" belong to Masashi Kishimoto.




Everything happened in a blur, one moment she was in the hospital and the next she was packing a suitcase. She was once again being forced to leave but this time it was for entirely different purposes. Sasuke had not told her the whole story of his reasoning behind this but she did not question him. Not anymore at least.

She had just been released from the hospital only a few days after she had been placed in there. Sasuke had told her that Orochimaru had planned to make his move again and he didn't trust being here any longer. At least for now they were leaving. It came at a perfect time too because Sasuke was just about to make a business trip to Italy, and lucky Sakura just happened to be invited for the ride.

Not exactly invited but almost forced since Sasuke had told her to pack her bags and get ready to leave within the hour. When it came to leaving in a hurry she had noticed that Sasuke knew how to get out of places quickly. She winced at the marks on her arm, and sighed looking down upon them. Her arms were still covered in bandages and she had tried to heal herself many times but the venom in her system had taken its effect on her.

She could only do small amounts of healing at a time, much to her dismay. Tsunade had visited her in the hospital and almost knocked her out for saying she was thinking about dying if it ment Sasuke wouldn't have to marry Karin. She got the lecture of her life from her and in the end it ended with Sasuke entering and telling her they had to leave. Tsunade had pulled him aside for a moment to talk to him briefly before she rushed Sakura out of the room to get packed.

Here she was packing with her bandaged arm, and not only that what happened earlier in the hospital still shocked her. A knock at the door almost made her jump out of her skin as she turned to see the door opening to appear Sasuke Uchiha. "Sakura are you ready? We have to go." Sakura nodded slowly and smiled gently as she zipped the suitcase and went to carry it to him before he quickly grabbed the bag from her.

"You shouldn't carry such a thing in you condition, I know your strong but you still need to heal." Sakura once again nodded and didn't say much as she thought back to what happened at the hospital just a few hours before.



-Flashback-



Sasuke..did you accept the agreement? Are you marrying Karin?" Sasuke's eyes widened and then he looked away from her as he sighed, and said..

nothing.

She sat there staring at him waiting to answer but he never did, for the longest moments of her life she sat there waiting. Wanting to hear what he would say but it seemed as though he wasn't going to say a word before he spoke up and almost chuckled as he sat down in the chair next to her bed.

"You know that weird Karin girl was talking about the colors for our wedding, what day it should be and what I would be wearing, her gown. What a strange woman, she has this whole wedding planned out. She kept on going on and on with these plans and making these comments here and there..." Sasuke slowly stopped talking as his eyes widened just slightly to see Sakura.

Without even realizing it a stray lonely tear had escaped from her eye as it fell down her cheek. She had started to take it in, he was going to marry Karin. He had taken the deal to marry her, so Sakura could survive and be where she is today. This wasn't how it was suppose to be, no Sasuke wasn't suppose to marry Karin.

She should have just died that day and saved Sasuke from such a fate. She couldn't help but want Sasuke to have happiness but at the same time she didn't want him to be with Karin because she wanted to be with him. She was almost shocked at the thought that just entered her mind as she felt the tear fall from her face. She quickly looked down hiding her eyes with her bangs and she gripped onto the white sheets.

Sasuke was surprised by her reaction he was about to reach out to her when he heard her softly begin. "I don't understand why this has happened, you know?" she whispered as Sasuke placed his hand back down to his side arching a brow looking up at her, "What are you talking about Sakura?"

"You are my boss Sasuke, nothing is ever suppose to happen between us and yet I can't help myself. I wanted to tell you a long time ago that I might have feelings for you and they have been growing. I find you irresistible and mysterious and I can't read you at all. Even though you might not care about me in that way I thought I could handle it..I really did. But, but hearing you talk about her and the wedding I don't think I can-"

She didn't finish her sentence as Sasuke had been slowly making his way toward her while she was ranting. He had managed to lean down to connect their lips for a soft kiss, as he tilted her head up for a better angle he began to kiss her slowly. Not even giving her a chance to think about her actions. She didn't think, her body moved on it's own as she angled her face up to meet his actions as she kissed him back softly. Before the kiss was even getting started it soon ended as Sasuke pulled away slowly and smirked at her, "There is no wedding."

"No wedding? But how, what?" Sasuke shook his head and sat back down on his chair, "Don't worry about it Sakura, just rest for now. Your going to need it."



-Present-



She couldn't believe it, I mean I guess she would expect something like this from the famous Uchiha Sasuke. She had never flown in a private jet before, this was going to be her first time and it was rather exciting. She couldn't take in the reality that she was going to Italy with Sasuke. Or even traveling with him, much of this was unbelievable to her. She stepped onto the plane and looked about and noticed a few men in black and she bit her bottom lip wondering who they were. Without even missing a beat Sasuke took her hand in hers gently and gave it a small squeeze, "Sakura, I know I could probably protect you by myself but having extra help doesn't hurt." He paused for a moment and then looked down at her with a serious look on his face as he said gently, "I had everything taken away from me once, and I won't let it happen again, you will not be harmed again Sakura I promise you."

Sakura felt a blush raise from her cheeks as he guided her to her seat. She sat down and he let go of her hand as he traveled over to talk to flight attendant on this small plane, and the other people on the plane. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Sasuke, didn't want to lose her and she was important to him. Is that why he had insisted practically demanded her to go on this business trip with him? He was afraid she would get hurt again, maybe by Orochimaru. They had been insistent on having Sasuke and making him marry Karin.

She almost shuddered at the thought as she leaned back in her chair staring out the window. She felt herself getting sleepy but she didn't want to sleep yet. She had to stay awake during this plane ride, she wanted to talk to Sasuke and just be good company for him. She sighed gently feeling her body still trying to recover from the wounds, she placed her right hand over her left arm as her hand started to glow.

She almost winced feeling her skin slowly repair itself and lift the burn marks off along with strengthening herself. She closed her eyes trying to regulate her breathing before she felt her hand being taken away from her arm, her eyes opened quickly falling onto Sasuke who shook his head at her. "Sakura, just sleep for now don't waste your energy on such things."

She was about to protest before he threw a blanket in her direction. She caught it and looked up at him as he nodded down to her, before she knew it she had covered herself up and fallen asleep for the long plane ride.

Sasuke on the other hand, had started to go through business papers and type on his laptop while they were in the air. Every so often he would look over at Sakura if she moved for a moment or just to make sure she was still asleep. He couldn't believe his actions as of late, what had gotten into him? He cared for his maid, Sakura. There he admitted it, he cared for her enough to take her with him on this business trip. He wasn't going to let that snake get his hands on her again while he was gone.

What was with him being so possessive lately as well? It seemed someone else had taken over his body and started doing useless things, and caring for this girl. He even sometimes forgot that he was doing this business to raise and crush his brother, to get revenge on him. Whenever Sakura was around he had placed that fact in the back of his mind, just for a moment.

Sasuke sighed and leaned back in his chair to look over at the cherry blossom woman in front of him. She had been sound asleep since take off, and they still had a few hours before they landed but he hoped she would sleep the whole time. He did feel a bit guilty taking her out of the hospital so soon with her healing body, but after receiving that package from Orochimaru from his office he wasn't going to take any chances.

The package had included pictures of Sakura being taken care of in the hospital and the room number she was in. Not only that but in not so many words they had threatened to kill her and take him for themselves. Luckily Sakura's parents had already passed and she had no siblings to speak of so they couldn't use that against her but they could still find her and try to kill her or use her to get to him.

The last time was way too close for his liking, they had taken her and given him a choice to make. When Naruto had told him that he had lost Sakura he almost lost it as he quickly went to see Naruto and beat the crap out of him. He had never been so upset, or even lost his temper like he did that day. He was even surprised at himself for doing that, it was not his best day by far.

He glanced at Sakura once more as she shifted in her seat and the blanket fell from her shoulder just slightly exposing it to the chilling air of the plane. Not missing a beat he reached out and pulled up the blanket once more and covered her again. He swore he saw her smile and whisper his name just for that brief moment.

He pulled back and couldn't believe what he had just done, yes indeed Sasuke Uchiha was screwed.



-Italy-



They had arrived in Italy finally after hours of traveling, but interestingly enough Sakura had not woken up from the landing. Sasuke asked one of the body guards to carry her out to the car and almost threatened his life if he tried anything or woke her. The guard was almost afraid to take the girl but he had succeed in getting her in the car without waking her. Sasuke made sure their luggage had made it in car and the body guards were ready to follow them before Sasuke finally got in the car sitting across from Sakura.

During the drive to the hotel Sakura had slowly woken up and looked around to see herself in a different area. "Sasuke are we in Italy already? Why didn't you wake me?" She said gently as she yawned and they pulled up to the hotel. Sasuke shrugged and got out of the car not answering her, as she quickly followed him out. She tried to wipe off the look of sleep she knew she had written all over her face as she ran her fingers through her hair and walked next to Sasuke as they entered the hotel.

Sasuke started to check in as Sakura glanced around the hotel, she should have been more surprised than she was but being with Sasuke she knew they would be staying in a grand hotel. "Sakura, come on or I'm leaving you behind." Sakura snapped her head over to see Sasuke stepping into an elevator. She smiled and ran over to where he was and stepped inside the elevator as they reached the top floor Sasuke swiped a card and they went one floor above the 'supposed' last floor.

Stepping out of the elevator she saw two rooms side by side and Sasuke handed her a room key and pointed to the left side, "That one is yours and I will be right next to you. You can get settled in your room and we will get something to eat later." Sakura nodded and smiled as she said her thanks and walked into her room. It was a beautiful room with a nice balcony out in back.

Before she explored around the room she was going to have a much needed shower. She felt gross from sleeping for so long and being on the plane. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed at her sleep written face. Grabbing her bag she had set aside for her own bath stuff she grabbed her items and made her way into the bathroom in the back corner of the room. She slowly took off her bandages and turned on the shower, making sure to make it warm so it wouldn't be so bad on her skin.

She couldn't help the smile on her face as she began to take her shower and hum softly to herself. She couldn't believe she was in Italy, and with Sasuke it was something out of a dream she thought. She had spent quite a long time in the shower before she slowly stepped out of the shower wrapping a towel around her figure. While stepping out of the shower she heard a loud 'bang' sound coming from the hallway.

She became nervous for a moment thinking someone had broken into her room, maybe it was Orochimaru. She was not prepared for such a fight, not yet. She prepared herself before the figure raced around the corner and there stood.

Sasuke.

Her face turned 15 shades of red as she screamed and pushed him back into the hallway and yelled at him, "What the heck are you doing! Did you break in?" She stopped herself and placed her hand over her mouth and whispered gently, "Sorry for raising my voice, but what are you doing here?"

Sasuke looked away and placed his hands in his pockets trying not to look at her form in front of him at the moment. "I came in because you didn't answer and I thought something happened to you.." He cleared his throat and turned around making his way out as he added shortly before stepping out, "Be ready in an hour we are going out."

Sakura watched as he closed the door to her room and placed her hands on her face to feel how warm she was as she couldn't believe what had just happened. "He saw me in a towel.."

An hour had passed and Sasuke as promised had come to her room to get her, she wasn't sure where they were going but she decided to look somewhat nice. She had re bandaged her arms and placed on pink dress with thin straps. Looking at herself in the mirror she sighed at the bandages on her arms, as she grabbed a black thin vest with pink lining in the stitching. She sighed as she thought this was good enough.

Stepping into the hallway she noticed Sasuke just wearing a pair of nice pants with a white shirt and a button up blue shirt just opened. He almost looked like a normal man, not in a suit of any kind. She couldn't help but smile to herself as they left the hotel. It was nothing like she expected they had spent the whole day sight seeing. Sasuke had reserved private tours for just the two of them as they went to museum after museum and she even took pictures of buildings and structures.

Everything in Italy was more than she could have hoped for, it was truly amazing to be in such a place. Sakura was having the time of her life even though she was still feeling a bit tired from healing. Eventually the tours came to a close and Sasuke and Sakura were off to a little cafe by their hotel. Sakura had spent a whole day with Sauske and it seemed non business related the whole time. It was almost like a date..

She stopped herself as she thought of such a thing, no it wasn't a date. Sasuke was just showing her around and they were going on tours nothing more. She glanced up at Sasuke as he looked at the menu placed in front of him. Sasuke feeling the stare looked up at her and arched a brow, "What? Is there something wrong Sakura?"

Sakura shook her head and smiled up at him, "No nothing is wrong, I am having a wonderful time Sasuke. I just have one question, why did you plan this day? I mean I thought this was a business trip." Sasuke placed down his menu and looked over at her and nodded, "Your correct, my business meetings will begin tomorrow, and I thought I would like to tour the city before those started. Is that so wrong?"

Sakura shrugged her shoulders and looked at the menu once more, "I suppose not, I am just surprised you brought me along as well." Sasuke looked out the window as a soft rain began to fall and he said gently, "Is that bad? I enjoy your company Sakura, simple as that."

Sakura looked up from her menu to look at Sasuke, he was looking outside onto the rain as she was about to speak up the waitress came and asked for their orders. She lost her nerve and the subject quickly dropped and soon another conversation was started. Nothing earth shattering, just what his meetings were going to be back and how long they were staying and what they saw that day.

Soon the dinner was over and they made their way back to the hotel in comfortable silence. The whole time Sakura wanted to say something or ask him what he thought of her. He had kissed her yes and told her she was important to him but just how important? Was he going to go off and kiss another girl and tell her she was important too? She gripped the bottom of her dress and hoped that wasn't the case.

Thoughts were rolling around in her mind all the way back to the hotel and even when she reached her room. Sasuke said he had some business to attend to and said goodnight to her, while Sakura on the other hand couldn't sleep. Once entering her room she went straight to the balcony as she leaned against the railing over looking the city.

She wanted nothing more than to talk to Sasuke and ask him what this all ment. This trip, the extra protection, the tours around Italy, how she was important to him. She wanted to know what she was to him, why he was doing this to her. She had never had a man confuse her so much, it almost frustrated her to no end. She sighed and looked down at the city below her and couldn't help but smile before she heard Sasuke in his room.

He seemed to be yelling at someone over the phone, which she noticed wasn't really uncommon anymore. She thought it could be another business deal when he walked close to the balcony and heard him utter, "What do you mean, what is she to me? Shut up idiot, don't ask me that. I will call you tomorrow." Sakura watched as Sasuke stepped out onto the balcony and his eyes widened seeing Sakura on the balcony too.

"How much did you hear?" Sasuke almost was afraid to ask before Sakura looked away towards the city, "Not much I suppose.." She whispered back before Sasuke walked over to the edge of his balcony close to hers and arched a brow before replying, "Not much? What is not much?"

Sakura glanced over at him before she bit her bottom lip and sighed as she walked over to the edge of her balcony looking over at him. "Sasuke.."

She paused for a moment as she leaned over the balcony a little closer to his side as she said gently, "What am I to you Sasuke Uchiha?"

Sasuke was shocked by her question but he knew that she probably overhead him on the phone, he looked up at her as she leaned over her balcony close to him. He turned to face her as he leaned over his side of the balcony close to her, "Sakura Haruno, you are the most confusing woman I have ever meet. and yet.." He paused for a moment and she waited for his answer as she gripped onto the railing.

She wanted to know more than anything where they stood but she was also afraid to know. What if he was just playing around with her? Was she one of many? "Sakura, your more than just a maid to me. I want you around all the time, but we can't I'm cursed." Sakura was a bit taken back by that, he was cursed?

She bit her bottom lip and looked away as she pulled back slowly, "Sasuke if you don't feel the same way towards me all you have to do is say that, you don't have to make up a lie like that. I understand, I get it.." She turned and wanted to run inside and curl up in a ball before she heard Sasuke. "No, Sakura it's true."

Sakura turned to look back at him before her eyes widened to see him run towards her and jump off the balcony and land on hers. "Sasuke what.." Sasuke walked over to her and grabbed her by her shoulders as he looked down at her, "Even though I am cursed, and all that has given me is darkness in my life. I want to try with you Sakura." Her eyes widened as she felt the tears that had started to form when she thought she had been rejected fell from her eyes, and soon his lips were met with hers in a passionate kiss. She couldn't believe it and at the moment this was more than enough for her as she gripped onto his shirt and pulled him closer. He also did the same for her as he pulled her closer to him and entered her mouth and their tongues began to have a silent dance of their own.

No more words were needed to be spoken and all she wanted to do was stay like this forever, Sasuke wanted her. All their emotions poured out in their actions, Sasuke wanted her and she wanted him. That was all she needed and while the two kissed underneath the night sky everything seemed right in the world for the time being.

Little did they know of the trouble that awaited them outside the hotel room as a man stepped off the plane into Italy.

Itachi Uchiha.
