So, guys, I have this new story! Started this when I fell sick last week. Hope this turns out great. I have already written chapters two to four on ink but still haven't encoded it yet. Will try to work on it before I go on vacation this October :)

He stared at the image on the wide screen, dark pools scanning every feature of the girl in the picture. He honestly didn't know why he even bothered doing this when he could've just been reviewing the project proposals that are now sitting idly on top of his desk. Really, pictures of women with heavy makeup and expensive clothes didn't interest him at all. He knew they were just brainless brats that never really worked hard for their shopping money.

Naruto, his bestfriend and right hand man, gave him a sideways glance. Seeing that he was not interested, he said, "Next."

The previous image of the busty redhead was replaced by the picture of a smiling woman aged between 20 and 25. She had a unique hair color. Well, who had pink hair anyway? Her eyes were the brightest emeralds Sasuke ever saw. Her petite form was dressed in a yellow sundress and she had a big white hat. The girl was probably at the beach when the photo was taken. Beside the photo were her qualifications.

'Haruno Sakura,' the dark-haired man thought. So she came from the prestigious family of the Harunos. He knew them from the many business transactions they had for the past year. The Harunos specialized in the medical field and they owned majority of the hospitals in the country.

"She seems to be a nice one, right Sasuke?" one of the Uchiha elders spoke up.

Again, much like in the previous 25 other photos, Sasuke remained quiet and just stared at the screen. Uchiha Fugaku sighed, he thought only his eldest son was stubborn. "You know why we're doing this, Sasuke," he told his son, his voice having an edge in it.

The younger Uchiha turned to look at his father. Cold onyx bore to identical onyx. "Yes, father."

"You need to do this for yourself and also to secure the future of the company once you take over," the man added.

Sasuke, once again, had no choice but to reply. "Yes, father."

"But, dad," the rosette protested. "This is the modern era. Nobody does arranged marriages anymore! I will not be forced against my will."

Haruno Sakura paced around the room with the phone pressed to her ear. Her father had called her from America and told her that he had set up a dinner date for her and her supposed fiancé.

"Sorry, honey," Haruno Kyoichi did sound apologetic. Sakura heard a rustling of paper from the other line. "But everything has been arranged. Your mother does not completely agree with the idea, I admit, but it'll benefit both parties."

"But what about how I feel? Don't I get a say on this?" Sakura almost whined.

The man sighed heavily. "Sakura, think about that dream of yours. The one on top of To-Do list," he said, his tone soft as he reminded.

Sakura stopped pacing in her office. Her dream… It was to build a hospital for the poor. One where patients won't have to pay excessive amounts of money. That was her ambition ever since she was a child who also experienced that kind of life. "What about it, daddy?"

"I'm sure your fiancé's range of influence might help you make your dream come true. They're very powerful, you know." Sakura could almost hear her father laughing. What was so funny?

Sakura suddenly paled at what Kyoichi. "Daddy?"

All the previous amusement in his voice disappeared when he heard that doubtful voice of his daughter. "Yes?"

"What if they're scary people? What if they won't like me?"

"Relax, Sakura. You'll like him, I'm sure. And I know that he's interested in you." He paused and chuckled when he remembered the phone call done by the Uchiha's spokesperson. "He chose you, afterall."

The pink-haired woman's eyebrow raised. "Who is he anyway?"

"You'll find out during dinner tonight," her father said wistfully. Then Sakura heard voices at the background. "Sorry, honey. I have to go now. The meeting's about to start. Go to that dinner, alright?"

"Alright, daddy."

Please wait for the next chapter! Review review review! :)
