Taming The Boss (SasuSaku)

Chapter 22: Stressed Out

Sasuke hit Sakura over the head. "What did you do that for?" Sakura said, rubbing a bump on her head. "That's for making dobe worried sick." Sasuke said. He leaned towards her and gave her a peck on her forehead. "And that's for making me feel thankful that you're alright." Sasuke said, giving her a ghost smile as he stared at her red face.

"I'll give you three days off. Be sure to rest." Sasuke said, returning to his emotionless self. "You better give her three days off!" Tsuande said, barging in with a clip board at hand. Sasuke flinched at Tsunade's roaring voice. "Tsunade-sishou." Sakura said, forcing up a smile as she sensed stress coming out of Tsunade's figure.

"Where's my pen?!" Tsunade asked herself, looking all over her coat. "Um..." Sasuke said, making Tsunade snap at him. "WHAT?!" Tsunade shouted, making Sasuke flinch. "Sorry." Sasuke blurted out. "Tsunade-sishou, relax. Don't get too stressed out." Sakura said, sweat dropping. Tsunade sighed and sat beside Sakura's bed. "Sorry." She said, rubbing her temples.

"Oi, Uchiha, escort my apprentice back to her house, I'm discharging her right now." Tsunade said, discovering her pen in her coat pocket. She wrote something on the clip board and got up. "Will that be alright?" Sasuke asked monotonously. "And why the hell would it not be alright?!" Tsunade shouted. "I'm so sorry." Sasuke said, quickly, not wanting to anger Tsunade any further.

Sakura laughed weirdly at this as Tsunade carefully removed her dextrose. "Be sure to only eat fresh foods for the week alright, Sakura?" Tsunade said as Sakura carefully stood up. "Of course, sishou." She said, smiling. "Now off you go." Tsunade said, shooing the two away.

"Your teacher is scary." Sasuke said, sweat dropping. "Of course she is, that's where I got my knowledge." Sakura said, grinning. "Have you eaten?" Sasuke asked monotonously. "Nah." She said. "Come on." Sasuke said, guiding Sakura to his car. "Where are we going?" Sakura asked. "Breakfast." Sasuke said.

Sakura munched down the salad that Sasuke ordered for her happily. "Oh, by the way. A client wishes to meet you today at 4 pm." Sakura said. Sasuke sighed and looked at Sakura. "Give me your phone." Sasuke said, extending a hand. "What? Why? What am I supposed to do at home without my precious phone?!" Sakura said, tearing up. "Not that phone. Your other phone. The one that you use for office hours." Sasuke said, twitching.

"What for?" Sakura said. "I'm confiscating it until you finish you three days off. I know you'd answer our clients' phone calls." Sasuke said as Sakura handed him her phone. "What am I supposed to do in those three days?" Sakura said, pouting. "I don't know, go to hot springs or something. Just relax." Sasuke said, eating his food.

Later that night, "Oh by the way, Sasuke." Itachi said, reading a book in the living room, making Sasuke look at him. "Hn." Sasuke said. "Dad gave you three days off. Spend it with Sakura. I'm sure she'll be bored alone." Itachi said, monotonously. "WHAT?!" Sasuke said, looking at Itachi disbelievingly. "What about my clients?!" Sasuke asked.

"Kisame can take care of that, surely you need a time off yourself." Itachi said monotonously, smirking. Sasuke sighed and sat on the couch beside his brother. "And I was so happy of having my office on my own for a few days." Sasuke monotonously said, causing Itachi to chuckle.

"Oh, and mom bought tickets." Itachi said. "What now?" Sasuke asked, clearly annoyed. "Tickets to a resort for you and Sakura. And it's reserved." Itachi said, making Sasuke groan. "Just the two of us?" Sasuke asked. "I guess." Itachi said, smiling.
