Mikoto Plays Matchmaker
Summary- Mikoto invites Sakura over for dinner at the Uchiha household, in hopes to have a future daughter-in-law. Sasuke and Sakura, however, are completely oblivious… and an uninvited Karin is ignored… SasuSaku
This is kind of like a 'behind the scenes' or 'after the shippuden' or an 'OVA', I don't know how to explain it, all the events happened in the manga/anime, but Mikoto, Fugaku and Itachi are alive.
I was supposed to co-write this story but for some reason my co-author—who for the life of me I can't remember though we've written countless messages to each other many months ago—I can't find her. And she has seemed to vanish from the face of the Earth, but if I find her I will give her credit, since she and I spent who knows how long coming up with ideas for the few chapters of this story. So some of the idea's in here are hers and again, she disappeared, but the credit will go to her should it hit me like a ton of bricks.
This is a short story, four to five chapters at the most.
I also see Itachi as the 'big brother' kind of a guy, and I picture him as humorous, so hopefully you're going to enjoy some laughs on his part.
Enjoy!

Phase 1
Dinner with the Uchiha
-S-
"Thank you for helping me with the groceries, Sasuke." Mikoto thanked her seventeen year old son, who carried most of the bags with an expression of barely there content.
"Its fine Mother," he said in his deep, rich voice.
Smiling, the Uchiha woman said, "You say more than 'Hn' with me."
"Hn," there was a slight playful smile gracing his lips as he replied. His mother had only seen this side of him while to everyone else he seemed void of emotion like his father and brother.
"I shouldn't have said that," something pink had caught the woman's attention. She had seen a picture of this girl, but had never met her, as much as she wanted to. "Sasuke, isn't that Sakura up a head, your Team Seven teammate?"
Shifting his dark eyes in the direction his mother was motioning, he spotted a familiar girl with pink hair at a vendor just up the street. She was talking with an older woman as she handed her a plastic sack holding some unknown items. "Thank you very much Saya for getting these for me, they should help me with my studies."
"Yes, that's her," the young shinobi spoke.
"She's a good looking girl, I want to meet her." Mikoto wasted no time in walking to the medic.
Sakura had just turned from the stand and saw two people appearing, one was an older woman, her age unsure, but she was beautiful regardless. Raven colored hair reaching to her shoulder blades and framing her face, just as dark eyes which seemed to hold a certain glimmer, tan skin and a small smile on her lips. She wore a simple beige apron over a dark blue long-sleeved dress.
All in all, Sakura thought she looked like Sasuke… and that's who so happened to be beside her carrying quite a few bags. "Hey Sasuke," she turned to the woman accompanying him.
"Sakura," Sasuke greeted, "this is my mother, Mikoto, she wanted to meet you."
The teenage girl beamed, "Oh, pleasure to meet you!"
After shaking hands with the young woman, Mikoto asked, "Are you doing anything this evening?"
"No, just finished shopping for medicinal herbs."
"Would you like to come over for dinner, at around six o'clock? I would like to get more acquainted with you."
Without hesitation Sakura answered eagerly, "I would love to, would you like me to bring anything?"
"Just yourself," Mikoto smiled, and quickly grabbed the bags from her son, and before he could protest, she continued, "I've got this, Sasuke, help Sakura with her errands." She turned to Sakura, "Feel free to come early." Not waiting for a response she disappeared behind a corner with all bags in hand.
"I like your mother, Sasuke." The female member of Team Seven started walking, her dark haired companion beside her with his hands in his pockets.
"She likes you too."
"You think so?" the girl cast a glance at him.
"I know my mother, Sakura," he tilted his head in her direction, "you two are more alike than you know."
As they continued walking down the street, the Uchiha matriarch peeked over the corner, grinning like a school-girl. "What are you looking at Mother?" asked an older voice. When she turned she found her oldest son Itachi in his ANBU uniform looking over her shoulder but having just missed the couple who turned into a building.
"Itachi, you're home but not unscathed."
"It's nothing serious, just a few scratches," her oldest answered. "What were you looking at?"
"You'll find out later," the woman hummed before pushing the grocery bags into his hands. "Now let's go home so I can prepare dinner, we're having company!"
Noticing she seemed to be in a happier mood than usual—not that she wasn't happy—Itachi sighed and followed the speeding woman to the Uchiha manor. 'She's the only woman I'll let push me around.' He decided.
-S-
"Thanks for the help Sasuke," Sakura said as the Uchiha was helping her to her apartment with a couple bags, she had made up her mind to bring something, but Sasuke didn't know that, that's why she had a few extra bags.
"Hn."
"Why did your mother want to meet me? Why not Naruto?" Sakura asked, the said blonde was on a mission with Kakashi and Gai. Who knows how he's holding up with the competition – or no competition – between the two…
"He's already been over for dinner; you were on a hospital shift." He held the bags up for Sakura to grab as they were at her doorstep.
"Thanks again Sasuke," the medic-nin smiled as she opened the front door and removed the bags from the dark haired boys hands.
Sasuke nodded as he turned to walk off and he failed to notice a girl with red hair and glasses had been following them since Mikoto had invited Sakura to dinner. She squealed before running off.
-S-
As Sasuke arrived home, he noticed his father and brother—who obviously just returned from his ANBU mission—in the living room and his mother telling them to be on their best manners when company showed up. She was excited; Sasuke could see this by the way her dark eyes lit up and her stern directions for being polite this evening. Perhaps it would be because there'd be another female in the manor for a while other than just herself.
Only a few seconds later Sasuke had realized Itachi coming closer and stood to his side, "Mother's planning something, do you know who's coming over?" the oldest son asked.
"Hn, a friend."
Before the pony-tailed man could carry on, the only woman in the house called to Sasuke, "Go get ready! Time is going to fly! All of you get ready, company will be here soon!" she enthusiastically pushed Sasuke toward the stairs and he was beyond confused.
Sighing, he left without complaint, "Come on you two!" the other two men chose to listen to her and quickly left the room.
Perhaps an hour later the three males were sitting on couches, waiting for dinner and their guest to arrive. "I want all of you to be on your best behavior. We don't have company often." It was true; Uchiha tended to keep to themselves and rarely had visitors other than other family members.
Seemingly on que, the doorbell rang and the Uchiha matriarch opened it to reveal the girl she was expecting… and another girl she had no idea who she was.
Before she could ask if she was lost, she barged in, "Sasuke!!" Karin shouted in a fan-girly tone as she rushed over to the said Sharingan wielder. The other two hid their surprise and disgust as she jumped onto him, she was wearing short shorts and a shirt that was revealing more than anyone wanted to see, not that the guys really were looking. Sasuke pushed her off, relishing his personal space, a distasteful scowl on his face.
"I'm sorry," Sakura whispered to the woman, who was appalled with the girl's manners and her attire and her clinginess toward her youngest son, before looking at her invited guest. "She was waiting for me at my door as I was on my way here. Apparently she heard you invite me in the market and she followed Sasuke and I with my last minute errands. I even tried to dissuade her, but she had to see her 'precious Sasuke' who she thinks I'm trying to steal."
"What did you bring?" the dark haired woman asked getting the three men's attention, Karin not paying any attention but stared dreamily at her Sasuke.
"I brought a vanilla cheesecake," Sakura said, "I know Sasuke doesn't like sweets and I wasn't sure if you all had the same taste when it comes to sweets. So this is made with natural sweeteners and nothing artificial. I couldn't think of anything else since I didn't know what you were making."
There is a saying; The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Hopefully this will help Sakura with winning the heart of three men… and we'll see how true that proverb is.
"Thank you for thinking of us," Mikoto smiled taking the cake from her. "And you are right, Uchiha don't really have a sweet-tooth but this looks good. We have no choice but to try it."
"I couldn't have you do all the cooking."
"Let me introduce you first, this is my husband Fugaku and oldest son, Itachi. Itachi, Fugaku, this is Sakura." Mikoto introduced, the head of the clan just gave the girl a brief glance and the second oldest man a small smile and a wave.
"Would you like some help finishing up in the kitchen Mrs. Uchiha?" Sakura asked, receiving a sincere smile from Sasuke and Itachi's mother.
"I would love some help and you can call me Mikoto Sakura," Mikoto gestured the pink haired girl to follow her into the large kitchen with Sakura. But before completely disappearing into the other room, Mikoto cast a quick glance at her youngest son to see the red-head catastrophe clinging to his arm like a leech talking away and absolutely oblivious to Sasuke's head turned away with a barely visible scowl gracing his face. Itachi and Fugaku were ignoring her constant chatter as if she wasn't there, though Itachi's right eye began to twitch with her annoyingness.
The occupants in the living room could hear Mikoto's soft laughter in the kitchen and Sakura's voice ringing out shortly after. Karin was trying very hard to start up a conversation with Sasuke and his family, which was a failure. It wasn't much longer when Sakura came out into the living room getting all attention, which the three men were secretly thankful for, smile on her face she said, "Dinners finished," and they quietly followed after her, Sasuke pulling his arm away from Karin's grasp.
"It's about time! I'm famished!" she exclaimed making Itachi want to throw her out of the compound and forbid her from ever returning. Heck he would forbid her from ever being in Konoha. Perhaps he should use his Sharingan on her so she loses her memory and abandon her in a village with no residence.
'There's an idea,' he thought with a small smirk forming at the corner of his lips. Everyone had taken their seats on padded cushions.
Fugaku sat at the head of the circular table closest to the entrance, his beautiful wife to his right and Itachi to the left. Sakura sat between Sasuke and Itachi while Karin was to Sasuke's other side. She scooted closer to him, clearly invading the personal space all Uchiha love to have. With everyone seated around the table so everyone could see each other's face clearly – and to Itachi's distaste he was able to see the red-head very well since she was directly in front of him.
Once the plates were filed to each person's content, Karin began eating like Naruto, scratch that, worse than Naruto. Itachi hadn't even taken his first bite though his chopsticks were in front of his mouth, which was slightly parted and his dark eyes unblinking. After a moment he lowered his eating utensils, "I think I've just lost my appetite…" he mumbled.
Conversation was engaged by Mikoto. "Sakura, Sasuke tells me you're a medic-nin, trained under the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, is this true?"
Politely Sakura swallowed her food she was chewing and wiped any food away from her mouth with a cloth napkin before speaking. "Yes, it is. She was a great teacher and I've learned everything from her. I am the head of the hospital when she is unavailable. I also really like being able to help my team when they're injured." Fugaku didn't pay any interest in the conversation until it was something that tugged at his curiosity, perhaps something good could come out of this dinner his wife had insisted on.
"I've already heard you've healed some sever cases that are extremely difficult to treat."
Before the medic could answer, Karin rudely interrupted, "'Big deal, you just have to bite me and I'll heal you quicker than any medic could. So a medic is pointless when I could be on the team and heal them." She pretty much shouted proudly and gently touched Sasuke's arm which he jerked away. "That's why I'm useful on Sasuke's team, right Sasuke?" said boy didn't answer.
"Is it possible to get rabies from biting someone?" Itachi asked Sakura in a hushed whisper.
Sakura, surprised by the question couldn't help the small giggle that escaped her lips, causing Sasuke and his parents to cast a glance at them. "Not that I'm aware of." Sakura muttered back giving him a tiny smile.
This went unnoticed by the tracker-nin and Fugaku waited for the conversation start up again, but he noticed Itachi and Sakura's relationship seemed friendly, with the way they were speaking and laughing quietly. "Sakura," the oldest son began before anyone else could speak, this got her attention as well as the others. Sakura and Itachi made eye contact as he continued. "Would you check a wound I have on my arm?" he shrugged his right arm in emphasis. "I received it on my mission before you arrived and haven't had a chance to get it looked at. And since there's a medic here, it would be easier to have it done now."
"You can bite me and I'll heal you up! It'd be faster than using a medic." Karin decided it was time to try to make herself sound useful. She was ignored and missed Itachi's face twist with the thought of having to bite her and be healed.
'I'd rather bite Orochimaru…' he thought, though as it crossed his mind that was perhaps just as bad as biting the red-head.
"Hn. I can't believe you let someone scratch you Itachi. I thought you were better than that." Sasuke spoke for the first time during dinner. His dark eyes looking over to meet his elder brothers stare.
"As if you could do better, little brother," he countered.
Sasuke snorted. Sakura smiled up at Itachi, "Of course I can, but I'll check it after dinner. It would be rude to do that here and I don't know if anyone here has a weak stomach."
"You mean her right?" Itachi said lowly and pointed across the table earning a slight nod from her.
"How long have you trained under Tsunade, Sakura?" Mikoto decided it was time to get back into a discussion.
"Pfft, please the old hag's not that great!" the red-head screeched.
Ignoring the rude remark aimed at her sensei, Sakura answered, "Since I was thirteen, so four years, she said that she's heard rumors that I'm going to surpass her in medical knowledge and in skill." Sakura finished as she prepared herself for another bite. "But I never thought that highly of myself. I don't even have any particular skills."
"They are not rumors Sakura. I have heard from others who believe your medical skills make up for the skill you say you didn't have. Perhaps you didn't know what your strength was." Itachi told her, shaking his head when she thought she wasn't good at anything. She proved otherwise.
His tone with her, Sasuke realized, was confident in her abilities much like he was with Sasuke when they were younger and training. He acted in the 'big brother' type of way toward her. The Snake Sanin's apprentice wondered what his elder sibling thought of his first female teammate, he acted friendly with her, perhaps they had been acquainted once or twice before?
"You said you bought medicinal herbs today, what do you do with them?" Mikoto asked.
"Yes, I'm working to create a cream and infuse some healing chakra into it. It's taken a while to get it just right, and the reason I'm creating it is so any shinobi can take it with them when there is no medic available and all they have to do is apply the cream to an open wound to heal the injury which will slow the spread of any possible poison that may have entered the body until it can be treated and looked at thoroughly by a medic. However, it will take time to be tested and if it is a product worth being sold and issued to shinobi going on missions without a medic, it'd be like me being there to heal them." The medic explained.
"That could be of great use should you finish it," the clan leader decided to speak his thoughts for the first time. The other members of his family knew what it took to get Fugaku interested in a conversation, and it had to be a good one. He was a strict and stern man.
"Oh please, I'm far better than this pink haired boyfriend stea—" Karin shut up as she saw the dark look the man had given her, and she thought Sasuke's glare was scary, but nothing compares to Fugaku Uchiha. His wife and sons could see he wasn't pleased with the red-head, for they had seen the Sharingan flicker for a brief moment.
Taking a calming breath, his dark eyes shifted back to the female Sanin's apprentice, and nodded, saying no more. He wasn't even sure why his wife had insisted on inviting the girl over.
"Hmpf!" Karin snorted snobbishly. "When Sasuke and I get married, we are going to have many children," Itachi started choking loudly, "I'm great with kids and they love me! There's not a guy who wouldn't want to be with me, and besides I haven't even seen Sakura get a guy!"
The medic was too busy checking on Itachi's well-being to reply, though she heard it, "I certainly hope not," the oldest Uchiha was referring to a certain Sound ninja and his brother having children, at his comment Sakura giggled silently. 'I feel so bad for the children…' he was still shuddering, "Am I breathing?"
"Very much so Itachi," her hand was glowing green as it was placed on his throat to soothe the pain that was constricting his oxygen supply only moments ago. The self-proclaimed mother of future Uchiha tried to kill him.
'I'd rather have nieces and nephews from Sakura… that's what mother's planning; you're a sneaky woman Mother…' when he realized the healer pulled her hand away, "Thank you, Sakura."
"That's my job!" she winked.
Sasuke wasn't sure what to think with the exchange, she seemed to fit right in with his mother and brother, his father didn't really say much but he had at least spoken to her a little bit. Perhaps she could get on his good side just as she was with the others. He was, however, irritated with his Team Hebi/Taka teammate hanging off of him though.
Sakura never hung on him like this; she respected his much liked space.
"Karin, get off of me." The seventeen year old demanded, yanking his arm away from her to which she pouted. He didn't care, she was a nuisance. Dinner was almost over and he wasn't sure what the rest of the evening would bring, he just wanted it to be over with… and Karin out of the house.
"What do you say to dessert, courtesy of Sakura?" The older woman asked, quickly passing out small plates of cake before Sakura even realized it.
Itachi leaned closer after seeing her confusion. "Mother's fast."
"I'll say," Sakura smiled.
As Mikoto was setting a slice of cake in front of Karin, the red-head held up her hands attempting to be polite. "No thank you mom, but I'm on a diet, besides I don't know what's in that…"
The medic's right eyebrow was beginning to twitch in irritation. 'I would have poisoned it if I knew the hosts and hostess were immune to it.'
"It doesn't look like she's on a diet," Itachi mumbled, and Sakura lifted her hand to muffle the snicker she was trying to hide, which a few accidentally slipped out.
"You're killing me, Itachi."
"I would never stoop that low." Itachi said, 'I want little Sasuke's and Sakura's in the future,' he thought silently.
Sasuke was quiet, nothing much unusual about that, but Karin was on his last nerve, but he kept his cool… on the outside anyway. Glancing around the table he could see Sakura was ignoring the trackers insults – though he could see she was a little dismayed with them. His mother was appalled by her behavior all throughout dinner. Itachi was ready to boot her out the door and possibly the village with a severe case of amnesia that would never ever allow her to remember anything ever again… and his father well, he was calm, especially after her rude interruption when he was speaking with Sakura. But his father's face was hard, as always, but she was on his last nerve as well.
Shifting his dark eyes to his Team Seven teammate, her jade orbs downcast as she readied herself for her first bite of dessert, Sasuke continued to dwell on the thought of his family had taking a liking to Sakura. Itachi and his mother at least, and his father was more difficult when it came to finding out what he thought of someone. He spoke to her for a moment to get into a short conversation, but what he thought of her he wasn't sure and he knew he listened attentively to his wife's and her discussion over dinner.
While Karin seemed to be a pest that wouldn't be chased off. He had heard Sakura tell his mother that she had invited herself and he figured that. His mother didn't like rudeness and Karin's loud interruptions, insults, manners and other disrespectful gestures… and he noticed her face would twist when they were aimed toward the pink-haired medic she had become fond of. She was definitely not on Mikoto's most favorite people's list.
Feeling someone's eyes on him, Orochimaru's former apprentice found the gaze of his older brother on him and a small barely there smirk snaking among his lips.
"My goodness, Sakura this is fantastic!" Sasuke broke his brothers' stare to watch his mother who was smiling at said girl. "You have to give me the recipe."
He continued to watch the exchange, he saw Sakura smile, like he remembered when they were Genin. "Of course, Mikoto, it's really easy once you have made one." His mother and teammate seemed to enjoy each other's company and they got along really well, having met only a few hours prior, it seemed as if Sakura was family.
Reluctantly Sasuke brought a small piece to his mouth and chewed, since his mother never made dessert he never had to eat it, but she had raise him well enough that if they had company and they had brought something to be polite and try it. That and his mother was watching him at the corner of her eye, waiting for each of the males to sample it.
Itachi was the first to speak after he swallowed, "One of the best cakes I've eaten."
"You eat sweets?" Sakura rose and eyebrow curiously and was answered with a nod as he took another bite. "I have other recipes, too. Sweeter than this, I only made it because I knew Sasuke didn't like sweets and I wasn't sure if the rest of you did either and this was the one with natural sweeteners'. And hopefully it's not too sweet for Sasuke's taste buds." Turning her head she looked at her old partner, silently hoping for his opinion and if she did well.
He could feel the gaze of his mother and brother on him and he answered truthfully, "It's not that sweet," before taking another bite to finish the piece his mother had given him, which wasn't very big considering it was a small cake.
With his words, Sakura smiled one of the smiles he was used to – the second one in two minutes – before she responded, "I'm glad you think so."
Some more conversation between Itachi, Sakura and Mikoto picked up again and everyone failed to notice the silent red-heads glare directed toward the other young female. Her Sasuke had pretty much complimented on Sakura's cake! She had never once gotten a compliment from the said Uchiha. That made her eyes darken at the thought, just how important was she to him. Glancing at him from the corner of her eye, she noticed he didn't seem to care, he was just indifferent to it all, but she had caught his dark irises flicker to the three engrossed in their chat.
-S-
"Let's check your wound Itachi before I help clean the kitchen," the medic instincts kicked in as Sakura lead the ANBU to a couch in the family room with the rest following inaudibly. Taking a seat to his right she told him to pull his arm out of the long sleeved-shirt, leaving half the shirt on the man had been wearing revealing the small flesh wound. Her movements stopped and she looked into the Uchiha's eyes sternly, "You should have had this checked earlier. It's poisoned."
Fugaku seemed indifferent but impressed she could tell just by looking at the wound. Mikoto was surprised but dismayed about not letting her son get checked sooner. Itachi just blinked, "How bad is it?" he asked, slight humor in his voice.
Rolling her eyes at the small joke she barely detected, she answered as she inspected the wound closer. "When did you get this injury?"
"On the return home, a quarter passed eleven I believe and we still had a few hours before we made it here. This is the only injury I received."
Placing a glowing hand on it, "From what I can see, the poison is spreading slowly." Removing her hand, she looked at him. "Is your arm sore or hard to move?"
"Hard to move."
"Your arm is slowly becoming paralyzed; the poison attacks the nervous system and moves slowly and you would die of cardiac arrest weeks, possibly months after it enters the body. After being in the body so long, death would look natural because the miniscule amount of poison would be hard to detect. Since you've been traveling back with this injury and poison in your bloodstream has spread just a little bit, but luckily nothing to seriously damage your arm. I can extract the poison and possibly see if I could create an antidote for cases where the cases are near fatal." Reaching in her kunai pouch strapped on her waist, she pulled out a small empty glass vial opening it and placing it in her lap before bringing her glowing hands to the ANBU's injured arm and began massaging it gently up and down.
Nearly a minute later, a black fluid started seeping from the tiny abrasion. Every Uchiha watched with curious eyes—Karin radiating jealousy and other loathing emotions—as the medic carefully drained the fatal liquid into the container she had prepared and closed it with its cap before sealing the wound closed with healing chakra.
Placing the vial delicately into her pouch and having placed it in a pocket of its own, she turned her head up to see Itachi stretching his arm. "Thanks, what do I owe you?"
"Nothing," Sakura simply answered standing up and looking at him, he was still pretty tall when sitting, "consider it a favor for protecting the village." She smiled already walking back to the kitchen to help clean up the mess.
"How about a spar?" stopping the healer and looked over her shoulder.
"I'll check my schedule," she grinned and disappeared into the kitchen after the female Uchiha. While the women, minus Karin, were cleaning, the men were talking about missions and such.
Once the girls emerged from the other room Sakura walked toward the front door, 'Thank you for inviting me over for dinner, Mikoto. It was great."
"It was my pleasure, I enjoyed your company. It can be tiring with all the testosterone in the house," replied the woman.
Giving one last smile, Sakura looked at the men, "I'll see you around Sasuke and I'll get back to you about the sparring match Itachi. It was also nice meeting you Mr. Uchiha."
"Hn," Sasuke answered with a short nod.
"Sounds good, see you then Sakura," the oldest son said and she was out the door, the dark haired woman waving behind enthusiastically.
"I should go to, bye Sasuke," Karin ignored the two others and walked toward the exit, where Mikoto was still holding the door. "Thanks for dinner, mom."
Smiling politely she waved the girl off and shut the door silently behind her before she sighed before she sat beside her husband. "What did you think of Sakura?" she asked him.
"She has manners and is well behaved, modest in attire; her medical skills aren't bad either." He said with a rough voice.
"So is that mild acceptance, Fugaku?"
Sasuke and Itachi were wondering what they were talking about. Acceptance for what??
The Uchiha patriarch glanced at his wife and she after knowing him for so many years knew that that was a 'yes'. That alone made her happy.
"Sasuke," he looked at his father who was staring at him with stern eyes, "what does that girl, Karin I think you said her name was, mean to you?"
Blinking, he answered monotonously, "She was only a teammate to help me find Itachi and Danzo, nothing more."
"And the other one, Sakura?"
What was with the interrogation? He didn't dare say that to his father, but he wondering what was going through his parents heads'.
"She's also a teammate, but she's more tolerable than Karin." He answered truthfully. Mikoto resisted grinning from ear to ear.
"I see," his father said before standing up and walking to the door. "I have to check on the Police Force. I'll be back later," and he was gone.
"You like Sakura Itachi?" Mikoto asked.
"She's intelligent, beautiful, an amazing medic, is a great cook, considerate, helpful. Should I go on?"
"You've met her before?" Sasuke inquired, glancing at his older sibling.
"On occasion and a few simple 'hello's'," he answered. "But this is the first time I've had a conversation with her."
"I'm glad," Mikoto said before she left to another room with a pleased smile on her face.
Since they were alone, Itachi decided to ask Sasuke something that he wasn't sure he should ask in front of anyone else, should the answer embarrass Sasuke if his answer was yes. "Sasuke, can I ask you a question?"
"Hn, just did."
Growling at those words he asked, "Did you have to bite, Karin? Even once?"
He was answered with silence.
"Just answer and I'll leave you alone…" the older Uchiha reasoned.
"Yes," he didn't specify how much. Casting a glance at the other man in the room and noticed his expression seemed to pale and there was slight concern. "What?" the teens' tone was aggravated.
"I hope you washed your mouth out. Seriously, that red-head might give you something contagious. Uchiha aren't supposed to be tainted." Itachi started, but Sasuke having enough of the conversation already, stood up and walked to his room. "Think of what I said!" his brother called out before he slammed the door closed.
This was a weird day…
-S-
So, how did you like it? I hope everything wasn't confusing and that you found Itachi funny, I sure did. Anyway, reviews make me happy and so does criticism and sorry for any missed typo's I caught some but could have missed others. Three to four more chapters at the most, though I'm not sure when the next will be posted.
Please review and let me know what you thought, feedback is awesome! And if my Co-Author found me let me know. Half of the idea's in this story are hers… If only I could remember her name…
