False Hope (Modern SasuSaku Fanfiction)

Chapter 24: Make Another Move

Itachi Uchiha was a man of few words; he was known to be wise, an image of pure perfection. He was considered special. He was a fine man, a very amazing guy.

And so, he was given all the responsibilities.

Not that he was annoyed with that fact, he was honored of course. Still, it was pressuring to be in his place. His family and entire clan would instantly ask for his help once a problem occurs, and they expect that Itachi would solve it.

In short, he had no freedom.

He is being controlled.

Everyone expects something from him; and in all honestly, Itachi was scared to make mistakes. He was scared to disappoint people.

"Itachi." Instantly, a strong and serious voice was heard on the other line, once the raven-haired man accepted his incoming call.

"Father," Itachi replied, staring off to the quiet road.

"Where are you?"

"I'm still here at Sasuke's company."

Seconds have passed before the man answered, "I see. So have you talked to him?"

"Yes, and his actions were as we expected." Itachi then remembered his brother's reaction, earlier inside the office.

"Well if that's the case, I am forced to do it in my own way. Be here for dinner, we have to talk."

"Understood."

Then his father hung up.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, the ravenette sighed quietly in defeat. He then walked over to his car, started the engine and drove away.

He knew that Fugaku Uchiha's homecoming didn't mean any good to them, or to anyone else.

Confusion and anxiety were obviously attached on Sakura's face. The emerald-eyed lady stared outside the window, her eyes holding worry and unease.

Thousands of questions would roam around her head. What happened? Why did she hear those kind of noise? Did they argue? About what? Why? However it was pointless. It was stupid to, and it was more stupid to ask what happened. Knowing Sasuke, he'd like it to be private.

But I'm his girlfriend.

Ah, that principle was bothering the pinkette. If she asked, would Sasuke (as her boyfriend and not a boss) answer it properly and truthfully?

"Sakura." His natural voice echoed in the woman's ears, as the car their are in suddenly stopped moving.

The emerald-eyed lady scanned the surroundings through the windows, not moving a muscle on her seat. But she couldn't hold it in, she was surprised of what showed up.
