CHAPTER ONE

The definition of a Geisha is an artist. A performer who sings or plays an instrument, she is also the one who serves tea to a customer at a tea house. A Geisha could be involved with another man emotionally, sexually or just have oral conversations. Geisha are not prostitutes. The are not allowed to fall in love. Once inside the the host tea house, she cannot leave that is unless she bought her freedom which to much Geisha luck it was impossible to do. The freedom for a Geisha, at that time, cost about 50,000 gold pieces. Why so much? Geisha are considered in Japan the most beautiful women in the world. So of course the host of a tea house would never let those beautiful rarities go so easily.

We are going back to the time of were samurais began to disappear and ninjas took over on villages. A new era where clans advertised their power and extended their riches. The story of a young woman who was forced into something she didn’t like after her parents death.

A Geisha that rebels against her host is simply unusual, its prohibited. Haruno Sakura opposed to those stupid rules of the tea house, she rarely wore any of the white make-up that was supposed to mask her face, she also refused to wear the black wigs all Geisha wore. That gives you a clear hint that probably she didn’t like being a Geisha. Winter is one of the busiest times of the year, besides spring, when the tea houses of Sanakura are at full swing with no rest, serving and attending into rich travelers needs.

In the corner of the tea house we find a sad looking Geisha gazing out the small openings of the window, she was not wearing any white make-up, just some red lipstick that colored her normally pink ones. She didn’t wore a black wig, instead her rose-hair was tied back in a messy bun that suited her facial features. Wearing an elegant pink kimono with white flowers. Yeah, that was Haruno Sakura, the girl who didn’t obey the rules and would spend her time looking out that same window.

“Argh! Sakura, stand up and come help serve some travelers” a loud and obnoxious voice rang into Sakura’s thoughts. She blinked twice and noticed it was coming from outside her head.

“Ino, I was told to stay here” she answered back in a soft low voice. Ino grunted and made her way towards Sakura grabbing her by one sleeve of her kimono. “let go!” Sakura pulled back. Ino’s white pale face and blue foggy eyes glared down at her giving the pink haired a reproachful look.

“I swear, why the hell did you become a Geisha if you don’t behave like one” Ino let go of her and walked back to her post in the door.

“I didn’t want to…” Sakura said this in a soft whisper. Sakura’s story was just full of betrayal and abuse. And being forced into something was sure not always wanted for a woman.

A few hours the tea house began to empty, a few guests habited rooms for the night and still some travelers came through the door for the night. In that moment, a tall young looking man, raven hair and onyx eyes and a very toned body any woman would die for. He was wearing a dark blue man kimono with a black turtle neck long sleeved shirt, and last a blue with white rope type belt tying the kimono around his waist. For the taste in clothes, this guy appeared to be filthy rich.

“welcome!” came the voice of the host “welcome! To the finest tea house in Sanakura!”

The young man didn’t even bother to give a wave or nod to the man, he was apparently busy eyeing the place. ‘finest?’ he smirked for the first time.

“I’d like a room for the night, big, comfortable and a good view outside the window”

Okay? This guy was surely picky, but the host didn’t mind, he was going to get paid anyways.

“alright, something else? A Geisha for the night?” the host sounded eager to give the young man more on which he could spend money in. the raven haired man just glanced at the host with a cold icy stare.

“no”

“alright sir, we were just about to send them for rest, but it was in case you wanted one”

Well this man surely liked to bug people. The young man knew that if he didn’t say something or took one of the women, this guy would keep rattling on.

“ok, ok” his eyes traveled around the room. All the pale faces coming to view, some were winking at him other gave him provocative smiles, his thought, this bunch of women liked to spend time with travelers, specifically the night. Ino was literally jumping on her seat, she sure liked the man, but then again which man didn’t she like. He continued to eye every women, marking out the ones he thought were a not, which were all of them, but then, like a flash or bolt of lighting hit him. His wondering eyes stopped on the sad looking girl sitting by the window. He noticed that something about this girl was different from the other woman in the room.

“her” he signaled with his mere eyes towards the young rose-haired woman. The host looked behind him and grunted in response.

“you wouldn’t want that one sir, she is not a good choice” the man sounded so cold all of a sudden.

“how come?” asked the young man

“just look at her, she is not a good example of a Geisha”

“neither is any other in this room” Sasuke didn’t even bother to bite his tongue. Some Geisha including Ino felt extremely insulted. Some just didn’t care.

“alright sir, but I warn you she is not a good performer, she can’t sing or play an insturment”

“is there anything she is good at?” he asked almost feeling he shouldn’t have.

“well some costumers say she is good in bed” the host mentioned this slyly.

“is that so..” the young man looked back at the young girl. Still a sad expression on her face, completely ignoring her surroundings.

“alright sir, name please?” the host asked.

“Uchiha Sasuke…”

The old man’s eyes widened at the mention of the last name, but he tried to do his best to hold back the impressed expression. Sasuke handed the man a small dark blue bag, which the host quickly opened counting ten gold coins.

“send her to my room with some green tea” Sasuke took the keys from the counter and climbed the stairs that led to his room.

After 15 minutes, Sakura arrived to his room setting the tea in the table which was in the middle of the room. He was gazing out the window, only wearing black trousers and his black long sleeved shirt.

“no goodnights or hello? The host might be right, you are the worst Geisha here” he spoke after a while. She gasped quietly quickly setting her sight on the ground.

“I’m sorry…” she answered back in her soft voice “how are you today sir?”

He turned around to find her bowing down to him. Sasuke made his way towards her and couldn’t help to notice she was trembling.

“don’t be scared I don’t bite” he stood in front of her folding his arms. This Geisha was not like any other Geisha he had seen, she seemed different. Was it her eyes, her mysterious look, or her way to talk that captured his sudden attention? What was it?

“what is your name?” he asked, gently lifting her chin.

“Sakura…”

“just Sakura? Do you have a family name?”

“Haruno…”

“Ahh, see that wasn’t that hard now was it” he smirked and pulled back away from her. She held back a blush. Wow! Was this man handsome.

“my name is Uchiha Sasuke, nice to meet you Haruno Sakura” he turned around taking a sit on the couch.

“what do you do best? Sing, act, other performances or just sex?” he asked, roughly rubbing his temples trying to wash away his headache that was forming. She slowly walked towards him sending both her index fingers to each side of his face gently rotating her fingers in small circles.

hm? She is got magic fingers’ he let his head go back resting on the couch so she could finish, his eyes closed taking in the massages. ‘no, there is chakra involved, is this girl a ninja?’ his eyes shot open noticing his small headache was gone. He looked up at her, relishing her facial features.

“you’ve got pretty eyes” he said in a surprisingly sincere voice. She gave him a sad involuntary sad smile.

“thanks”

Sakura’s hands began to massage his shoulders as all the tense spots in it began to soften. His eyes closed slowly, letting himself be carried away by her touches. While his eyes were closed she managed to control some chakra to her hand slowly moving it to one side of his neck. She never really ever had relations with any man that came in, and this one was surely not going to be an exception, so she was going to do what she normally did to all men that chose her. She knocked them out until the next day and wake by their side, only to make them think they actually had her. They would sleep so peacefully that they would think it was a good night with the girl that they had.

She gently touched his neck and with the other hand she did a hand sign. Sasuke’s hand quickly grabbed her hand on his neck, stopping her recent actions.

“you might want to reconsider that”
