Chapter 1: A New Job

::

Sasuke stared at the burning green hue of the digital clock that was a minute away from ringing. His brows lowered as a sigh left his lips. Was this honestly his life now? Waking up at an ungodly hour to do something he hated?

The ringing began and he allowed it to go on right before he started a self-ensued headache. Another long sigh left the Uchiha as he pushed himself into a sitting position.

Elbows resting on his knees, he looked out the window facing him. The sun had just peaked over his window sill. "Fuck," he muttered and stood up.

The young man drug himself into the bathroom and glared at his reflection. Tired onyx eyes looked back at him. Sasuke took a deep breath and schooled his features. "I need a new job," he told himself for the twelfth time that week.

Saturday morning were meant for sleeping, not Sasuke, not if he wanted to keep the lights on. The irritable young man stepped into the shower and started his monotone day.

After putting on his usual suit and grabbing the briefcase by the door, he set out for another horrible day. Sasuke played back his voicemail from the previous night. "One new voicemail from:"

"Itachi," his brother's baritone voice came through the speaker. Sasuke was about to erase it but decided to hear the same old song. "Hello. Sasuke, this is Itachi. I am just checking on you, brother."

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"You know my offer still stands at the office, you know? I just cannot understand what you want from life, brother?"

Sasuke scoffed and turned on the next street.

"I hear you're a salesman now? Sasuke, you have so much talent. Much more than some salesman. I just want to make sure you're taken care of, little brother. Please, call me back. I love you, Sasuke. Good bye."

Sasuke stopped when the light turned red and groaned. "If you would like to-" he hung up the phone. Itachi didn't understand that Sasuke didn't want to waste his life in an office.

...he also hated being a salesman. If you weren't a ten year old girl in a scouts' uniform trying to sale cookies then nobody cared. Not that he did anyway. Women were always interested in him - not his product. That's where the problem started.

He start the car back up and decided to go into the Northside of Konoha. Somehow he ending up in the high class area. The houses were huge! "I guess the grass is greener on the other side," he mused.

Parking his car in a random driveway, he got out and fixed his tie. "Game face," he coached himself and walked up to the first home short of being a mansion.

Sasuke rung the doorbell and waited until a red headed woman came to the door. "Ye- Yes!" She straighten up upon examining his face and body.

Uchiha charm, he guessed.

"Would you be interested in my product?" He asked with a smirk.

Her face glowed. "I d-didn't order anything like you...but how much do you run?"

Sasuke blinked as the woman dug in her purse. "Wait, I meant my knives." He opened the briefcase causing the woman to frown.

"So...you're not..." She motioned to him.

"No. I sale knives not myself," corrected Sasuke. The way his life was heading that occupation didn't sound too bad.

"Oh," her face dropped in disappointment. "No. No, I'm not." She closed the door in his face.

Sasuke growled inwardly as he got back in his car and drove to the next house. Maybe rich people didn't need knives but they could use some fucking manners! The next mini mansion had a bold 'H' on the door.

Calming down, he rang the doorbell. Why did he let Naruto talk him into this job?! Next time he saw that idiot he would wring his-

"You're early," a blonde woman exclaimed. Sasuke raised a brow when she opened the door. "And what happened to that old lady?"

His brows furrowed in confusion. "I'm Uchiha Sasuke and-"

She nodded and grabbed his arm before pulling him inside. "The new Nanny, I know. I called for you..."

He looked at the crazed woman and the death grip she had on his wrist. "Who?"

"Yamanaka Ino, you're probably expecting my boss but she's running late at the office!" She spoke quickly.

"I'm not the Nanny."

She waved him off dismissively. "Caretaker? Babysitter? Manny? Whatever you want to be call."

He scoffed. "Manny?"

Ino nodded. "I am late for a meeting so," she turned to the stairs. "Aisa! Hikari! Come meet your Nan- Manny!" She shouted.

Sasuke snatched out of her hold. "I'm not the-"

Suddenly two children, no more than six ran from the top of the stairs to the bottom. Ino scolded them lightly and they apologized politely.

They both had dark navy hair and strange pale lilac eyes except the boy's eyes had a slight tone of green.

"I'm Hikari Hyuuga!" The small girl proclaimed. She grabbed Sasuke's much larger hand making the man almost bend over. Her large eyes twinkled at him with excitement.

The boy named Aisa grabbed his sister's hand from him. "Who are you?" His eyes narrowed at Sasuke.

Ino smiled at the little boy. "Aisa, give him a chance first...for your mommy, okay?" She ruffled his hair causing the boy to blush.

He crossed his arms. "I'm Aisa Hyuuga..."

Sasuke rubbed his neck and looked at the happy blonde woman. "I'm... Uchiha Sasuke."

"You're our nanny now?" Hikari clasped her hands together. Sasuke wasn't fond of children in the least, especially not kids with trust issues. "Are you Sasu-Chan?" She asked again.

Ino sighed. "Kids one moment," she pulled Sasuke to the side. "I know you're probably nervous but they are really good kids. Hikari is an angel and Aisa...he is a shy kid. He is just protecting his sister."

"It's not that-" he tried but was cut off again by the paycheck Ino had in her hand.

"I'm sure you know about the Hyuuga family. Their mother is Hinata Hyuuga, the heiress of the Hyuuga family." Ino smiled at the name. "She's my friend and she trust my judgement."

Sasuke inwardly scoff. That's stupid, he thought. He could be a serial killer. "But-"

"And you get paid every Friday."

Sasuke looked at the numbers again. That was a lot for two kids. He glanced back at the crazy woman. "Okay."

She giggled lightly. "Okay? Okay. Well, I have to go. If you need anything ask Aisa, he's the oldest by six minutes." She joked before kissing the kids and leaving.

He put his briefcase on a nearby table when the little girl walked over. "Sasu-Chan, I like to play Tea Party...will you play with me?"

He shrugged still thrilled about his new job. "Sure, kid." Aisa ran over to him and was about to pull his sister away until Sasuke placed his hand on the boy's head. "You like sports?"

Aisa's face froze at contact. "I... I p-play soccer."

Sasuke nodded. "Cool, I'll have to beat you sometime."

His nose wrinkled and pushed Sasuke's hand off his head. "Y-you're old!" He smiled.

"I'm barely hundred."

The twin laughed at him. Hikari grabbed his hand. "Ai-nii, let's show him the game room!"

Aisa nodded. Sasuke followed them up the stairs. Hikari held tight to Sasuke's hand. "Ai-nii, can we all play soccer?"

Aisa blushed feeling Sasuke's eyes on him. "I guess..." The boy mumbled and opened the double doors to the entertainment room. Sasuke eye's widened a bit. Naruto would pee on himself if he saw this room.

::

Hinata kicked off her shoes once opening the front door. She sighed as her aching feet reached the cool wooden floor. She paused and looked around the living room. "Guys?" She called. Usually her kids would be waiting on the couch for her.

Hinata snapped her fingers. "Ah, the Nanny!" She remembered and tipped up stairs to the kid's entertainment room seeing that the light was on.

The anxious yet excited mother peeped around the corner seeing Aisa, Hikari...and- "Who are you?" She asked loudly seeing a man holding Aisa's soccer ball over his head.

The man turned to her as did the kids. "Mommy!" Hikari laughed and ran to her. Hinata picked her up, still glaring at the strange man. "This is-"

"I'm Uchiha Sasuke," he gave Aisa the ball. "The new... Nanny."

"I thought I hired a woman."

He smirked and crossed his arms. "That's sexist of you, Mrs. Hyuuga."

Her nose wrinkled. "Aisa, take your sister to bed. I would like to speak with the...Nanny."

Aisa pouted slightly. "Can we play more, ano...later, Sasuke-kun?"

Hikari giggled as Hinata put her down. "Mommy, Sasu-Chan said we can play princess and dragons later!"

Hinata didn't respond to that. The fact that a strange man was currently in the same room as her children unsupervised was taking her attention. "Go on, I'll be there in a few minutes."

Aisa took his sister's hand as they waved to Sasuke. "Later, Sasuke!" They exclaimed.

He nodded. Hinata waited until she heard the click of their room. Her opal eyes hardened. "You are Uchiha Sasuke of the Uchiha family, no?"

He sighed and rubbed his neck. "Then you know about the-"

Hinata felt her father's pride swell in her chest. Normally, she wasn't this rude but this was about the safety of her children. "I want to know why you are in my house."

"I came to your home in hopes to sale my products but a blonde woman assumed I was here for the Nanny position."

"And you didn't refuse?"

His onyx eyes narrowed. "I tired. She wouldn't listen and went on to tell me about the pay," he paused. "After that, I agreed."

Her eyes widened and hand tightened around the door knob. "Get out of my home, please."

Sasuke nodded slowly and moved pass her smoothly after grabbing his jacket. Ino probably hired him because he was handsome...and he was. Hikari and Aisa were standing by the door. "Is S-Sasu-Chan leaving?" Hikari asked.

Hinata glanced over at the man. He nodded. Aisa shook his head. "Please, can we keep him?"

"Pleeeaaaasssee," Hikari whined.

"You just met him. I don't even know him."

Sasuke's eye twitched. He wasn't a lost puppy.

Aisa and Hikari blocked their path. "I want another boy around the house, mommy." Aisa whispered. The Hyuuga mother froze for a moment.

"Ai..." She started. "I..."

Sasuke inwardly grinned. There was no way she would say no now. It seemed Aisa never shared these feelings with her before. He watched the pondering woman. She sighed, "I said no."

Aisa dropped his arms. "But..." His large lilac-hinted eyes watered before he ran into his room. Hikari gasped and ran after her brother.

Hinata continued to motion Sasuke to follow her. He didn't have to see her face to understand that she was just trying to protect them. Once at the front door, Hinata turned to him. "Be lucky I didn't call the police."

He shrugged. "You know, he's not going to forgive you."

She looked away. "You don't know my son."

"Seems like you don't either," he paused to put on his shoes. Hinata was glaring at him firmly. "But if you change your mind. Here's my card." He slipped the card under her folded arms.

"I don't need it."

He nodded. "If you do, Uchiha Sasuke." He grabbed his briefcase of knives. "Later." Hinata closed the door behind him.

She looked down at the card and stuffed it in her pocket. "He'll be fine." She reassured herself.

::

The kids were abnormally quiet in the morning. Hinata chewed on her toast while watching them play around in their cereal. They couldn't have gotten attached to him so quickly.

Her heart sank some. Do they just attach themselves to men? The young woman put down her toast. "I'll be getting off late tonight," she told them after losing her little appetite.

Aisa glanced up at her, then to Hikari and back down to his cereal. Hikari gave a small nod as Hinata bent to kiss her cheek. "Okay, mommy."

Hinata ruffled Aisa's hair. "Aisa..." She cooed. The little boy huffed and pressed his lips to her cheek. Hinata sighed. "Well, Aunt Tenten will be arriving soon, make sure you behave, eat whatever Chouji-san prepares and go to bed on time."

She put on her jacket as they mumbled 'yes ma'am' to her. Hinata walked to the front door and reached into her pocket for the keys but...

A sigh left her lips as she pulled out the business card. Her dark brows knotted together in frustration.

::

Hinata was a busy woman but she didn't spoil her children. They were just as grounded than anyone without the Hyuuga name. She was firm in her decisions and rarely went back on her word but-

"Any experience with children prior?" She watched the smirking Uchiha before her. His eyes were currently closed as if he was thinking back on it.

"I had pets," he told her.

Hinata crossed her arms tightly. There were plenty of nannys out there with loads of experience but Aisa liked him. The boy was typically shy but he didn't mind telling her when he didn't like someone.

Hinata looked over his background check for the fifth time. Sasuke was indeed an Uchiha prodigy but was only the second heir so he left the company in general.

No criminal records. No tickets or debts. Nothing. Her opal eyes lifted to him. "Why do you want this job?"

"I need this job," he corrected her. "As you've noticed it's dangerous going door-to-door, an aggressive blonde woman could hire you."

Hinata fought the growing smile. Ah, that was Ino for you. The young Hyuuga chewed at her bottom lip. He could be a killer or worst! There was no way she wanted to put her kids in that situation. Opal eyes fell on the desk, looking at nothing in general.

"There's no good reason to hire me," Sasuke shifted in the leather seat. "I'm not licensed nor trained."

Hinata looked up at the man. His vision was aimed behind her, out the window of her office. What was he doing? Talking himself down? Sasuke rested his elbows comfortably on the arm rest and brought his attention back to her. "I wouldn't hurt them." He told her seriously.

Hinata sighed. "There are workers all around the house, if you do then they will be more than happy to tell me."

He nodded and couldn't help but wonder why a mother with young kids would even want to be almost the head of a company? She rubbed her temples before nodding. "You will be supervised as any other nanny, you know?"

He nodded as she started writing on a sticky note. "You will be held responsible for getting them to and from any activities."

Sasuke sat up when she extended the sticky note to him. There were three numbers written on it. "What's this?"

She checked her watch and stood. "Arrive at my home tomorrow at 8 o'clock to find out," then a thin smile finally graced her features. "Aisa and Hikari can be a handful on weekdays...this will be your test run."

Sasuke turned in his seat as she walked to the door. His eye twitched as the blonde woman named Ino was standing behind it. "Ino, please show him the way out."

She nodded and waited until Hinata had walked down the hall. Sasuke stood smoothly. "I suppose I should thank you?"

Ino shook her head and let him walk out first. "Aw, you thought it was this easy," Sasuke looked back at the smiling woman. "Nothing Hyuuga is ever easy, Nanny."

He shrugged. How hard could watching two well-behaved kids be? Sasuke clutched the sticky note in his hand.

"I prefer Manny."
