Loving someone doesn’t mean you have control over them…

It just means that they have control over you.

Scene 1: Love Begins... And Inexplicably Strange Things too.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Our story begins on White day. A day wherein men give women presents, as opposed to Valentine’s day.

It was also on this very day Mr. Uchiha found out that Miss Haruno was a woman… and a very attractive one at that.

.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Sasuke, aka emotionless bastard, scowled.

I’m not joking when I say that I don’t need to explain anything elaborate.

Quite frankly, it’s very simple.

Sasuke, aka emotionless bastard, seemed like it was his period because he just noticed that almost all of Konoha’s male population had offered his teammate a present for white day.

Surely they were going to be castrated males soon but still they had given his teammate a present. Meaning, they were interested in her.

And of course, when he said ‘almost’ he meant everyone but him.

A fact he despised and almost instantly, denied that he so vehemently despised it.

He watched Hiro, as Sakura called him, give her a large bouquet of white roses.

He was practically forcing her to take them!

Sasuke fumed.

“Thank you. They’re lovely.” He heard her say before politely accepting the present, their fingers brushing briefly.

What. The. Hell.

Now, it was personal!

Uchiha Sasuke will formally file a lawsuit against that Hiro guy for sexual harassment! How dare he touch her!?

Without the men of team seven noticing, Haruno Sakura had turned from a flat-chested girl into a very voluptuous woman. A fact that they most definitely despised but have to put up with.

It wasn’t so bad if one of her spineless fan boys show up. One glance from the trio of extremely handsome and extremely powerful ninjas will probably make him run towards the hills anyway.

However, the trouble began when most definitely not spineless ninjas began to court the girl as well.

Sasuke could only grit his teeth when he saw Hyuga Neji give the pink-haired, in his opinion, girl a box of chocolates that probably costs more than it should be allowed.

Attacking the Hyuga in public would probably cause a public scandal, a situation he was so desperately trying to avoid after submitting his application form for ANBU.

After all, he wanted to follow in his dear brother’s footsteps.

And actually, spending the afternoon with a perverted and yet still quite overprotective jounin-sensei, his ‘self-proclaimed’ best friend and also the pink-haired menace wasn’t going to be doing so well to his much cared for reputation.

And if you’re asking when had Haruno Sakura turned into the the pink-haired menace… Well, she just did.

Uchiha Sasuke pondered this new situation in his mind. Perhaps, he might take back his thoughts regarding the girl, er, woman?

She was most definitely not a menace! Because it contains the word ‘men’ and Haruno Sakura plus men wasn’t a very lovely equation.

Sasuke’s scowl deepened.

The times were men seek the acquiescence of the woman’s family before they begin courting would've been heaven to Team Seven. A tradition, in the males of Team Seven’s opinion, which should have never been broken.

Of course even if they asked they would hardly give them their consent.

The girl was happy as it is.

Along with her boys who so lovingly enjoyed their time with their pink-haired medic.

Of course she was their medic. There was no doubt about that.

After the death of the Third Hokage at the hands of Orochimaru, Tsunade immediately took over and decided that Team Seven could not remain a team without a proper medic and rather coincidentally, Sakura had been training under her tutelage for about a year at the time.

So, instead of the three male jounins going on missions on their own, they were now accompanied by their formerly inactive teammate Haruno Sakura.

Of course, Sasuke thought she was a burden when they had been assigned their first mission to waterfall, a very dangerous country. Women were raped and then sold as slaves, meaning it would be dangerous for her especially since she barely mixed in with the crowd given her pink hair.

But he was proved wrong when she had saved Sasuke from a deadly blow to the back of his head by pushing him onto the ground and shielding him with her lithe body. A very foolish way to save a teammate but it worked. And since then he couldn’t take her off his mind.

Need I say, he literally fell in love?

Or was it he was metaphorically or rather, God help me, emotionally falling in love?

Either way it was love all the same.

So did he love her?

Sasuke pondered.

She was attractive, he’d give her that.

Hell, as much as he hates to admit it, all of them had grown beauti--uh, appropriately and hell, he did not just say the word beautifully.

Over the years, the whole of team seven had grown even more glamorous than before.

Sakura, the object of a few boys back in their school days was now the most eligible bachelorette in the village with Yamanaka Ino trailing behind her in the polls.

Sasuke, one glance and the heart of a woman would definitely melt.

Naruto, Oh my goodness, the greatest improvement of all. During their prepubescent years he held the charm of a boy but now, Sakura was sure that he could actually flirt a woman off her feet and onto a bed.

Kakashi, despite the fact that he seemed rather the same, it was probably because of the mask. But a few people, mostly women, swore that Kakashi was the almighty sex god.

So yes, Team Seven had it all.

Well at the moment, all except the attention of the beautiful Sakura.

She was still entertaining her suitors. A very irritating process since she tended to fall into conversation with each one of them.

Sasuke was sure he was going to assassinate them one day.

They nearly had actually.

Only one guy though since Sakura had reprimanded them for making such a public scene.

The man had touched her… hair.

A very taboo thing for anyone outside of Team Seven For they were the only ones allowed to play with her long and strangely appealing pink hair.

Sakura had found them with the man at one of the darkest alleys in Konoha. Why she was there they did not know but when she saw the atrocious state the man had been in, she nearly shouted there ears off.

Speaking of shouting, Naruto’s been oddly quiet lately.

He turned to look at the fox demon’s container and noticed the glare that Sakura was directing at him effectively shutting the poor boy up.

Feminism surely was the thing of the century.

Though Sasuke doubted that he could be dominated by just any female.

After all, he was an Uchiha and not just any Uchiha. He was the brother of Uchiha Itachi.

And if you’re wondering who Uchiha Itachi is?

He is the prodigy of the Uchiha clan. A man of few words, he looked like his father quite a lot.

He had entered ANBU as the youngest one and had fulfilled all of his duties at the very best.

And most of all, not once had he been enraptured by the race known as females.

He was the perfect role model.

Power, brains and looks all rolled into one.

It wasn’t a wonder why Sasuke had respected him most of all.

It wasn’t also a lie that Uchiha Itachi was very devoted to his younger brother.

He was actually the one who had recommended the boy to ANBU, much to the dismay of their father.

Sasuke had remembered all the times he had spent with Itachi as his father’s substitute. Quite a number of times indeed.

Sasuke never really did miss his father and not once has he said that he preferred his father's company over his elder brother's.

Wait…

Now that he thought about it, he hadn’t seen his brother for a while now.

“Kakashi, have you seen my brother?” He asked the jounin who was currently glaring at a boy who was looking at Sakura in a way that was rather inappropriate.

“No, I haven’t. Probably on another mission, I suppose.” He answered, not taking his visible eye off the boy.

Sasuke nodded slowly but there was something in him that doubted Itachi was on another mission… brother’s intuition?

Highly laughable that’s what he’d call it.

Itachi would never look for him or their father at times like this. He would most probably concentrate on the task at hand which meant resume the glaring.

After a few more minutes of trying to kill men with their stares, Sasuke felt just a tinge of familiar chakra spark at his right side.

…Itachi!

Whirling to his right, indeed there he was in all of his glory.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at his brother in question. Why did he suddenly lose control over his chakra like that? It just wasn’t like him.

After all, his brother was most well known for his control over his feelings and thus his chakra.

“Brother?” Sasuke called out uncertain as Itachi neared him.

But he did not stop, he simply took out a small white bear from who knows where he hid that and stopped in front of Sakura.

The three male ninja’s eyes widened.

Kakashi and Naruto in disbelief while Sasuke in the same state but with a slight tinge of… was that fear?

Handing the white bear to Haruno Sakura, Itachi barely whispered the words, “Happy White Day, Sakura-san.”

And on that day, Sasuke finally decided that Haruno Sakura was indeed so attractive, so as to capture even the eyes of his usually emotionless brother.

And I’m pretty sure that Miss Haruno Sakura nearly died when her eyes bulged at who gave her the snow white bear.
