Aly's Note of Wisdom: This is my first multi-chaptered story I will be writing for this account and I hope I finish them... cause I usually loose interest you know? Stupid idea kept on bothering me about it so during class I wrote down. Pen and paper. Once I wrote it down I liked how it turned out. Though I have no idea how this will turn out, I just hope to get a positive response. Honestly, I wrote this with my own characters but decided to make this into a Sasuke and Sakura story. Now that I think about it, this story looked so long when I wrote down in my notebook but now it just looks so short! Haha!
Disclaimer: ME. NO. OWN. NARUTO... or any of its characters.
Le Summary: Sugar Babies. Term used for young women searching for wealthy men who willingly pay for their education. WARNING: Sugar Babies will not fall in love with their Sugar Daddy. Seems Sakura's having a hard time with the warning..
P.S: The bar breaks indicate that there is a scene change! And the little '-xxx-'s tell that we're switching point of views. Either from Sakura or to Sasuke's.
Everything was planned out for me, I'll go into college and get a master's in veterinary school. There was a small problem - money. You see my parents passed when I was super young and living in a foster home with approximately 12 other children ... let's just say that it's financially frustrating. And trying to live off a minimum wage job at 18 is close to impossible. So I resorted to my last choice... a so called 'sugar daddy.' And boy, did I feel guilty for what I was about to do.
It was pretty simple, really. This man will pay for my education while I just accompany him in events - nothing sexually. At first I found the idea absurd and discriminating toward females, but I was desperate. This was my only chance to achieve my dreams and I won't let anything stand in the way of that. There was no turning back anymore, though. It was to late... because I already set up an appointment to meet with him and his mother around four which is in 3 hours.
Luckily, I got some background check. This man was just a year older than me so that wasn't that bad. As long as he wasn't in his late 40s. Apparently he needed a date for the Founder's Ball. I was just his arm candy yet I never expected to fall in love with such a man like Sasuke Uchiha was.

"I can't believe that your mom's doing this to you, Sasuke." mused a blond boy - named Naruto Uzamaki - to his absolutely gorgeous friend to his left, "You have to pay for her college crap so you could get a date at that stupid dance thingy?" His blue eyes stared in pity but he still enjoyed the feeling of getting a chance to humiliate his best friend, "Most guys would just go to the bar and snatch a hot chick. I don't get you rich people."
"It isn't just a dance..." he corrected, "The founder's of this god forsaken town will be there and my parents were invited to attend. It's more like a stupid ball. For your information, I rather not go through the trouble to find a date. I trust my mother's decisions." towering at 6 foot 2, dark unreadable eyes and midnight hair that had tints of blue in them, he was most definitely fairy-tale like.
His best friend stuck his tongue out, "Blah, blah, blah. Whatever your mom says goes. You, my friend, are a spoiled little mommy's boy." Connor slapped him behind his muscular back in a playful manner and gave a hearty laugh.
"You're such an idiot, Naruto."
Naruto waved the comment off and stared at him seriously, "Basically, you're going to be her bank..?"
Sasuke shrugged in a non-caring way, "Hn. Not like my family doesn't have enough money for it." His best friend laughed at him then reached for the Xbox 360 controller and tossed another one to the man which he caught perfectly, "I just hope this Sakura girl isn't annoying and air-headed." The blond shrugged.
"You get what you get. I saw the file your mom has of her, she's pretty hot. But that pink hair seems so ... strange.. When is she coming over?" Sasuke replied with a time which was in a couple of hours. He shook his head and had a challenging gleam in his eye, "Whatever. Now. Let's play. I bet you 30 dollars I could kick your ass in Call of Duty..."
Sasuke smirked, "Bring it on loser."

Sakura stared at her reflection in her full-length mirror that was attached to her door. Her own best friend sitting on her black sheets upon her bed filing her nails, "Is this too much, Hinata? I don't wanna looks desperate or anything." The emerald eyed goddess wore a slim black dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. On the back it was a dangerously low 'V' shape that absolutely teased men. It reached her knees and with it she wore red pumps. Her shoulder length bubblegum hair was tied up into a ponytail revealing much of her backside. Around her neck was a silver butterfly that sparkled like a bunch of diamonds.
"No way... Sakura-chan you look amazing! You might want to put a coat on though. Don't wanna risk the chances of getting kidnapped and raped, now do we?"
"Guess not..." she mumbled pulling on a black coat that Hinata gave her for her birthday that reached below her knees perfectly concealing the dress, "What will I do if this doesn't work out?" she whispered tying her coat shut. "I mean... there is still that financial aid but I don't want my pride to go down the drain you know..? You're so lucky, Hinata-chan. You have a lot of money." Sakura pouted while placing her needs into a small red carry on. It looked expensive, it really did but she actually got it for only 3 bucks.
Hinata laughed out loud then stood up and made her way towards her best friend, "I offered to pay for more than half of your tuition didn't I? Also, I remember you saying something about not wanting it."
"It's not like I won't be grateful for it it's just that... well... I wanna do something by myself for a change. You, mother, have always been there for me and I just wanna give something back. What do you know about this guy anyway?..?
"His name is Uchiha Sasuke and he's 19. Wealthy, independent, and from what I heard he's overprotective of the people he loves. I think he lost someone very important to him so that's the way he acts..."
"Hmm. I wonder if the person he lost was like a old lover or something. If it is, you've got some competition against her even if she isn't alive. Maybe he still mourns for her."
Sakura snorted, "Pft. I'm not there to fall in love, Hinata-chan..."
"Whatever you say!" There was a small ring and Hinata flipped her phone open.
There was a small frown on her features, "I get you. Crap! I gotta jet, I totally forgot that I had a dress fitting! Sorry, Sakura-chan." She was already under the doorway when she turned. "Hope all goes well. I'll stop by tomorrow." she called before Sakura heard the front door slam shut. Sakura sighed and made herself down. On her way down she kissed her foster mom goodbye then was about to make her way toward the front door when a little girl tugged on her coat. Emerald eyes casted down at the small figure.
"...Ne, Sakura-chan. Where are you going..?" The little girl had blond hair that was braided into pig-tails. She also had hazel eyes that stood out against her brunette hair. This little girl was named Kiseki Nakawisha. Her first name was miracle in Japanese because of her amazing story. Miracle was abandoned on a street, right in front of a intersection. Faith, their foster mom, stopped at the intersection and got out of the car thinking it was some animal or something. But it was Kiseki, in a little soaked brown box.
Some call her Kiseki while some just call her Miracle. Kiseki was half Japanese and quarter Italian. Sakura smiled at patted her on the head, "I'm just going to go out to meet some friends. I'll be back later."
"Sayonara, Sakura-chan!" she called.
"See you later, Kiseki." Within forty minutes of the agony of walking in heels, she arrived at the Uchiha mansion. She stared in amazement but not in surprise. Sakura knew that they were rich so she had no reason to feel surprised. Yet she was hesitant, what if they didn't like her? Unsteadily, she walked toward the front door and rung the doorbell. Sakura was greeted by a smiling lady, "Ah! You must be Haruno Sakura! Come in! I'm Mikoto Uchiha."
Sakura smiled at her. Her face was lit up as if she thought her son was actually dating her. As if she didn't care that she would spend thousands of dollars on her. When Sakura entered the house she took it all in, "Thank you for having me here." said Sakura shyly.
She waved her hand dismissing it, "Now. Take that coat of yours off and hand it over." Sakura did as she was told and then the mother called for her son.
"Sasuke-teme. Can I stay over and meet this Sakura chick?" asked Naruto wiggling his eyebrows in a suggestive manner, "I promise that I won't steal her with my unbelievably good looks or anything. I promise!" After their video game competition Sasuke won - naturally, "It's the least you could do cleaning my pocket out."
Sasuke rolled his eyes, "I don't care. Why the hell are you blaming me for a bet that you suggested..? You can stay, just as long as you -" Sasuke was rudely cut off by his mother's voice echoing from the first floor, "Sasuke! Sakura is here and she looks absolutely amazing!" Before the raven haired man could even turn to look at his best friend he raced down the spiral staircase, "... idiot.."
-xxx-
Sakura absolutely adored Mrs. Uchiha. Her soft onyx eyes were filled with warmth and it matched her dark hair that cascaded down her back. When Mrs. Uchiha complicated Sakura she blushed heavily. Just at that moment a blond boy with light blue eyes came running down the stairs, "Naruto my dear, you're still here? I thought you left hours ago..."
He shook his head smiling brightly at the older woman, who was this kid? Sakura couldn't help but think, "No ma'm. I was just upstairs with Sasuke playing some video games. I guess we just lost track of time. Sorry about that."
"Let me guess..." I spoke I couldn't help to interfere, "Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.." His eyes brightened immensely.
"No way! You play CODWM2?"
"For sure! Video games are addicting!"
"No kidding! You're looking at a man who just got his 35th nuke just a few hours ago!"
Sakura snickered, "What'd you do? Camp or boost?" The couple laughed together and the adult in the room smiled kindly at them enjoying the moment they were having even if she had no idea what they were talking about, "My name is Haruno Sakura. It's a pleasure to meet you. And you are...?"
"I'm Uzamaki Naruto. I like you. Funny, pretty, and you play video games!" he exclaimed loudly, "Sasuke-teme is so lucky to snag a person like you. All I can attract are stalkers or obsessive chicks. Hey... you don't have beautiful friends... do you..? I mean, it isn't like I'm desperate or anything it's just that well, it would be nice to go on a date once in a while." he smirked. Sakura smiled at him, she got a good vibe from him.
Even if he did talk a bit to much, "...Actually... I do have someone in mind you could go on a date with.." He barked out a laugh and nodded eagerly. Someone like him should go out with Hinata, "But you must be warned that she's kind of shy.."
"Hey, as long as she isn't a freak. I'll take it! Believe it!"
"Ah, Sasuke dear. Say hello to Sakura." announced Mrs. Uchiha. The pink haired woman turned and almost nearly gasped loudly. There he was. He was tall, way taller than Sakura. His hair was - for the most part- spiked up in the back and he hand two long strands on his face. If anything it just brought out his mysterious eyes even more. He was so... amazingly beautiful.
Snapping out of her trance as she studied him Sakura made sure that she smiled, "My name is Haruno Sakura."
"..Uchiha Sasuke..." his voice was deep but not in a scary rapist kind of deep. It was more like a seductive husky hot deep. Honestly, when Sakura heard him speak she almost winced. He was just so perfect in so many ways already. So why did they need her? Her eye caught him staring at her from head to toe.
"Connor, do you mind leaving us for a while? You go on and play some more video games." Without another word, Naruto raced up the staircase as Mrs. Uchiha led us to what seemed to be a study room. There were two couches and two comfortable looking chairs. Mrs. Uchiha gestured her to take a seat while Sasuke boredly laid himself on the couch, "Now. Why do you want to use my son financially..?"
Sakura coughed clearing her throat before looking into her eyes with pure honestly, "My parents passed away when I was young. I've been placed in a foster home with 12 children who are much younger then me. You can not imagine what I have to put up with every single day. I work and it's stressful - to say the least - to try juggling a job and school. Surprisingly, I am the one who works in my large family. So most of my pay check goes to my so called mother. I want to go to college. I want to follow my dream to become a vet. Yet, I'm not able to pay for tuition." Sakura tried to make her speech persuading but it didn't work out as good as she thought.
Despite her horrible speech Mrs. Uchiha smiled and nodded the warmth never leaving her facial features, "Excellent. Although.. I do have a few.. conditions. Trust me it's nothing big but it'll make me feel much better once we've gone over this. It's all right if you have some problems with it. Sasuke and I had already gone over it and he's totally fine with it."
"You're going to do what I tell you to do when I do it."
Sakura gaped. He said it so bluntly that it hurt her for some reason. She then glared at him as he boredly was going through his phone. She knew that she was going to say something that she will regret but she couldn't help but speak, "Sure thing, asshole!" All of a sudden Sakura clamped her hand over her mouth to stop her from saying anything further. Mrs. Uchiha stared in amazement. While Sasuke was glaring at her, "I'm so sorry! It just came out." Great, she thought grimly, now they'll never take me.
Much to her surprise Mrs. Uchiha laughed loudly. The melody filling in the silent room, "Don't mind it! I'm just surprised for a moment there. No female ever talked to Sasuke like that so it's just . ... refreshing. Although I'm glad you kind of did it. My son was being rude so I apologize on his behalf." Not trusting her voice anymore, she just nodded, "Okay. Back to business. You'll be accompanying my son at the Founder's Ball. I'm sure you've heard of it."
"Yes. I have." she quietly whispered. Risking a glance she stared at Sasuke to know that he was still glaring at her, "I'd love to accompany your son..."
"Lovely! It's a done deal. Tomorrow we'll go shopping together to find the perfect dress! Oh, and Sasuke will come as well of course."
"What? Why the hell do I have to go?" Sasuke gritted his teeth.
For the first time in a few minutes, Sakura smirked with a evil glint shining in her eyes, "Well. You are going to be my... date. I think it's customary for the man to go with the woman to get her dress the same day he'll get his tux. Now. We don't want people to think as if you just went out with me in a pity date, don't you?" she said in a tone that screamed she was right. He rolled his eyes and sighed as he stared at his mother's firm yet stern look.
"Hn. Naruto's coming though. I refuse to be alone with a bunch of girls."
The matchmaking side of me flipped on and I smiled, "Great. I'll bring Hinata-chan, too. It's about time he had a date."
"Outstanding! Sakura come with me so I could give you your... paycheck..."
