Okay I'm sure everyone's wondering what happened to me? No? well to bad cause I'm gonna tell ya anyway! My internet went out, and only on my laptop! So after nagging mom for months to fix it she finally caved and that's where we are now. I feel improved from last time so but critrics are more than welcome, just don't threaten my life for anything said here. Oh, and please excuse all the extra paragraph cuts, I just hate seeing longs ones in my writing cause I feel like I'm rambling.
Warning: um, i don't think this specific chapter needs much of one besides the warning of yaoi, but even so, you have been forewarned *evil eye*!
Disclaimer: Masashi-san won't answer my letters... that or mom never sent them in the first place, or Sasuke sued. *sigh*
Tsuki no Hinode Monogatari~
Sasuke walked nonchalantly down the halls of Konoha High. Today, no this week, definitely wasn't going to be his. Why you so innocently ask? Because Monday of last week was the day he's new older, by five months only, sister's adoption papers became final. According to their mother, having only men in the house made her lonesome and therefore they needed a teenage girl around. At first he had no problem with it, it'll get his mother's attention off of him some, but when they went for the interview, this eccentric girl was the only one not just to be so blunt toward the eminent family but she also verbally put down both the brothers at the same time! Their mother immediately chose her as the addition and their father was definitely not letting someone who'd openly defy any Uchiha, especially when she initially declined the offer, get away. The month up until now had simply been orientation and amazingly she waltzed right past their "No Non-Uchihas Allowed" sign and melted the ice off their demeanors. Even long-time friends and associates were shocked, yet impressed and respectful, with her. She also had a dark side that one no longer tough 'someone' got a front row ticket in seeing. Neither Sasuke nor Itachi slept well that night in nicely hidden fear of her 'visiting' them for being malicious towards her, not mentioning their dad said to keep an extremely close eye on her. Hey, you'd be edgy too if the only background info you could pull on a teen girl was that she was born an army-brat, she'd been a special ops agent from age five to recently plus she goes to 'elite A.N.B.U. camp' in America every year, and she can even successfully unlatch a fully grown man's pectoral girdle during a fit of blind rage right before your eyes and then sit calmly back down and continue her previous conversation! And now she, Michiko, was walking esthetically behind him in the school's hallways and was definitely attracting everyone's attention. "So this is your school, huh Sasu-kitty?" she cheekily asked looking all about herself. He halted and turned to her, obviously irritated with her nicknaming habit. "If I asked you not to call me that, you still would, wouldn't you?" "Of course I would, my dearest darlingest* Sasu-kitty!" she replied earning a scoff from the raven. He looked her up and down. She was only like two inches shorter than him and had long fluffy slate gray hair that stopped right under her 'perky little ass' as Itachi said. The color of her hair greatly contrasted to the hetrochromia in her eyes, one was cerulean turquoise and the other crimson red. Her skin was a beautiful creamy caramel color with a twinge of yellowish honey mixed in and though all of she would come off as oddly normal but somehow she made her child-like countenance seem so attractive and gave off a hint of a pleasantly soothing air that, Sasuke checked again as he continued walking, absolutely everyone was staring at them. This earned another scoff when they reached the faculty office. Of course no one in this school had ever seen a wondrously refined girl strut so close to him without losing herself in falling head over heels for him. He reached to open the door only for it to burst open with the wild and infamous self-proclaimed 'Orange Hokage' and secret best friend of the raven tumbling over him.
Lucky Michiko stepped out, who was behind Sasuke, just in time to avoid joining the pair on the floor. "Oh my gosh, Sasu-kitty, you touched the door at the same time as your polar opposite so it made you two get stick together like magnets! Wow, how cool!" She cheered successfully gaining the attention of all their peers on the hall. Sasuke, hiding his light blush, instantly jumped up and pinched her face as hard as he could, "Shut up and stop calling me that!" "Nya~noo, you meanie!" she huffed as she pulled away from her otoutou. "Did that embarrass you Mr. Kitty?" Michiko whined in a whisper so only he'd hear it. Sasuke, trying to ignore her, turned to see that Naruto was also receiving a similar treatment from Iruka-sensei. "Naruto, that's what happens when you try to get away with things, but we'll talk more later in detention." He changed moods as he notices the duo behind him, "Sorry Sasuke, but who is this?" he asked pointing at Michiko. "She's my adopted sister, Michiko. She just transferred from," he said turning to summon her forward, though he ended up finding that she was being entertained with a frenzy of questions from an exceedingly large flock of students. More than half of them weren't there originally, at least to Sasuke's knowledge since they were in the faculty hallway.
This again brought up the previous mentally asked question of whether she did or didn't have Uchiha blood in her, no one else could attract people in number by their beautiful presence but then scare them off with just one word. As if she sensed his change in mood, Michiko quickly ran to his side, bowed to Iruka and let herself into the office. "She was told yesterday to come here to meet her homeroom teacher today. Itachi said he didn't know exactly who it would be, so if you just happen to know who it is that would help sensei?" Sasuke pressed hoping his teacher could answer his question. Iruka tilted his head slightly, thinking about the question being asked, looking a lot like Naruto did when he was thinking at times. Nice to know where he picked that up now. "Um well my class still has room, so maybe there? I hadn't checked my box for today but out of all junior classes, I'm the only one without a full homeroom," Iruka answered in a perky manner, and Sasuke knew it was caused by an interest in the new student. Sasuke, though, had little interest in her at the moment since she could handle her own so he started looking for someone else that probably wouldn't mind keeping an eye on the girl when he couldn't.
Bingo, Shikamaru. "Hey, Shikamaru!" he yelled over the crowd, catching the lazy brunet's attention. Shikamaru sighed as he started pushing his way through using his best friend, Chouji, as a human bulldozer. "What's up?" "Look, my sister is-" "Wow you have a sister?" Chouji chimed instantly interested in way he had never known something like that before. "I know right, I was shocked too!" Naruto broke in. "Shut up! Anyway she isn't always nice to new people. If you don't mind, could you and Chouji keep an eye on her for me?" "She has you worried?" Shikamaru chuckle looking through the window screen at the girl, "I can see why." "First of all, she's older by some odd five months; secondly, I just don't want to relocate somewhere else because she peacefully killed someone during class." "Homicidal?" "Well that doesn't surprise me; I mean she's your sister, Sasuke," Naruto chimed in once again with his signature smile sketched on. Sasuke thought of having her take her anger out on him next time around but let that thought go since he was an Uchiha and didn't need help when it came to murdering dobes. "Shut up, dobe, she's adopted. Will you do it?" "Why not, if she's like you, I won't even have to do much since she'll be reserved in her own little world." "Great," Sasuke sighed in relief; he decided not to tell him that she could possible talk all day like a certain blond kit in front of them. Sasuke peeked into the office only to find she was using her 'kawaii' mode to appeal to the teachers- surprisingly it was actually working. Sasuke, satisfied with the positive, escaped down the hall before she got bored and reverted back to embarrassing him, with Naruto in suit.
Sasuke slowed his pace so that they were walking together upon seeing the effort the blond was making to talk to him publicly. Like previously stated, they were close at one point of time and they could tell when the other had something on his mind. "So, when did you two become sibs?" "A week ago it became completely official." "Oh cool, I think she's might be a quick adapter 'cuz she seems to already carry around the Uchiha air," Naruto chuckled, "though I could tell she not a blood relative since she doesn't have the teme gene." Well that did make sense coming from Naruto hyperactive non-logic comprehension. Naruto had always been Sasuke best friend since their elementary days and even though now they hung in different crowds, he'd definitely be the only one to pick up on this type of thing that quick (besides maybe Shikamaru). They made small talk surrounding facts about Michiko then it drifted off to what they've each been up to, they only stopped it because Naruto was harshly flung into class by Iruka to make sure he wouldn't run off.
Now in class, Sasuke stared emptily at the board as he sat through. After years of school, he finally perfected the art of 'I am looking at the board but I'm not really listening to anything you're saying.' He shifted himself so now he had his head propped up with his left hand, and he just happened to land his eyes on the brilliantly blond hair best friend of his. Sasuke UCHIHA was the reason they stopped being so close like they were when they children, which was one thing he didn't blame Naruto for. Who'd want to live their life with an over-popular rich bastard always hovering over test your limits like in he did in their younger days. It was always Sasuke 'n' Naruto, or Naruto 'n' 'Sasuke, heck their families even treated the other as one of their own, which made Sasuke an overly-egotistical Uzumaki and Naruto a… well the oddest of oddball Uchiha. Sasuke chuckled under his breath; he loved those days when he used to feel absolute freedom, since it was only because of Naruto being with him that made everything better. Yes, after years of long hard thought, Sasuke has finally concluded that he had come to like, probably enough to be thought of as love, Naruto "Usuratonkachi" Uzumaki. Though, he never believed himself to be gay, just open-minded towards Naruto.
It was a complex conversation made even more so since he was to himself in his bathroom mirror. He had been trying not to think about it or the blond but it's hard not to when said kitsune sways his pretty little 'tail' in front of you almost every day since you guys meet in kindergarten. Not that he'd been looking, back then there was either arts n craft or tissue plastered back there. Sasuke couldn't help the smirk that crept up on his face as he watch the blonde sleep with his eyes open without a peep. Sleeping was probably the only thing he could do without calling out for attention. "Sasuke, I didn't know Shakespeare was funny." Kakashi glared at the teen, shocking him and Naruto out of their subconscious states. "No, I wasn't laughing though," Sasuke paused and thought maybe Mi-neesama could get me out of trouble again. (Funny thing is blood siblings get you trouble and faux siblings get you a 'get out of jail free' card, weird), "Michiko's having trouble." The teacher replied half-heartedly. "It's almost time for next period, Sasuke." "Yeah, but she's-" and again as if she felt his urgency for her help, Michiko burst into the room franticly dragging a spooked Shikamaru. "Sorry but where's Sasuke?" "Michiko-chan?" Kakashi questioned earning a strong possessive Uchiha death glare. She might be a new addition but she had the glare down pack; it was so strong everyone in the class pointed at Sasuke's seat, well everyone besides Naruto who was laughing wildly. Some even nudged an anxious Sasuke out of his seat. Michiko, releasing her grip on Shikamaru, instantly began speed-wailing about something Sasuke barely could follow. Luckily, the only information he need he got from Naruto's outburst in the middle of her crying, "Some bakaryou tried to molest you in class?"
By God's hands, a guarding Naruto, a crying Michiko and the fact that she had already trodden the boy to a pulp almost literally saved the boy from Sasuke beating him until he felt that he might as well had just died from the first attack. As a result of disturbing two classes and missing most of second period, Michiko got a week's detention and the boy a school board suspension, and at first Sasuke kept saying Tsunade was going too easy on him but he shut up when Naruto told him he knew where he lived and would take care of him later. "You know, I never really thought you'd go all raging mad Sasu-kitty." "Yeah, well, Tou-san and Kaa-san would kill me if I let you get molested at school." "Well, I'll be seeing you later in D.C. period, gotta go get to math before Kazuka-oni gives me another detention," Naruto exclaimed as he trotted away.
"But we have excuse sheets right?" "Yeah he's probably running off to tell everyone how insane you are."
Sasuke looked back at Michiko pouting at his comment before completely leaving her alone in the hall, or at least he thought he was. After he turned the corner he got a text from the sprite,
'ur a meanie •V• thts y I read ur diary ;P'
'u wat?'
'read ur journal-diary, all of it, u now u shudn't leave it open on ur laptp wen ur nt around, anywyz I'm starting op: sasunaru! Luv u kitty *chuu~*'
' nt suppose 2 come n my room w/o permission 2.u do it n ill kill u!'
'detention's gonna b fun ^w^!'
Sasuke gaped at the message for what seemed like forever and chased Michiko around most of their lunch period. Since she learned how to be a good actress during one of her travels, she let him catch her and then acted innocent as to what he implied on her. "Look here you she-wolf," he impatiently growled, "you keep your mouth shut." "Hey, Sasuke," Naruto called out, "that's rude!" "Heh, especially since you're the #1 lady-killer of Konoha High and you can't even please your sister," Kiba commented. He flashed a toothy smirk as Sasuke's glare intensified. Everyone had soon learned that the raven despised that title the most. Naruto had his gang in tow like always during lunch; not only was there Kiba, but Sakura, Hinata, Lee, Shikamaru, Chouji, and Ino too. "So?" "Wow," Sakura replied as she and Ino circled Michiko and ignoring the boys, "So she's your new sister? What's with you wearing such baggy clothes?" "Yeah, they're not cute ya'know?" Ino questioned tugging Michiko's shirt a little. "Don't do that!" she yelped pushing Sasuke between herself and the girls, "Y-you see, I'd rather wear comfortable clothing anyway." She replied fidgeting and giving a look that would rival Hinata's. "So no one knows if you're lack of feminine parts or body fat?" Sai commented, having now joined them along with Neji and Tenten
"No," she stated dryly in a monotonous voice which made everyone sweatdrop. "but if you must know what my body looks like," Michiko hummed before pausing and glancing at her dear little otoutou. A devious glint flashed in her eyes and Sasuke knew just what she had plotted. "If you, Naruto, can find out who you're most beloved secret admirer is and confront that person with your own true feelings without someone else directly interfering by the Hanami festival, then I'll give up baggy clothes for good, how's that?" "So if he consults us and we imply whether we feel that his assumptions are right or not, right?" Sakura asked earning a nodded from the grey cloud-haired girl. "If it's that easy then you'll be in tight pants by this weekend!" Kiba blurted earning a chuckle from Michiko, who was grinning harshly in the scowling face of Sasuke, "I know who you all think it is but it's not her, furthermore the person is personally the closest person in the world to Naru-chan and it'll be an unexcepting yet most exciting truth you'll ever hear." At the last few words, Sasuke could feel his knee buck a little from embarrassment, but thankfully the bell rung signally the end of their half day at school. Michiko giggled as she to chase Sasuke to his car, having way more fun doing it than he had when it was vice versa only moments ago. "What's wrong Sasu-kitty?" she purred as the entered the parking lot and approached his car. "Go to detention, now," he growled out as he sat back on the hood of his car, making sure she caught his glare. "Okay~" she chimed playing sad and blowing a kiss at him upon seeing Naruto waving at her from far off the sidelines. She was only a few feet from being directly between them when she called back to him, "It's my duty as fujoshi otaku to help you find your happiness, kitty!" Luckily, no one seemed to have heard or comprehend her words, well no one except someone who shouldn't have been on the premises in the first place.
Itachi. Their eldest sibling, the clan's prodigy, the one person Sasuke despised the most of all, was standing at the open door of drivers side of his car that god only knows how he got open in the first place. But that wasn't what concerned Sasuke the most at the moment, no; it was rather whether or not he understood what Michiko said. "What's wrong?" "Did she just say fujoshi otaku?" "Uh, yeah, why?" "Nothing except that explains why when I knocked on her door to wake her up she sounded like she was frantically putting stuff up and why she always asks me to drop her off near Akihabara," he sighed getting back in the car with Sasuke, and as he started the car up he finished, "What does that have to do with your happiness?"
Sasuke turned to face his brother, not knowing what else to do, but felt more panicky from the next statement, "but knowing that she's a fujoshi kinda explains it." "How?" Sasuke questioned when he noticed the turn in Itachi's visage. "She and those other girls always get more and giddier when I bring the guys along." Well, that just tops it all off, their mother adopted an American fujoshi otaku mad-woman as their sister. "Well at least life won't be so boring or work-filled anymore. Plus, I really want to see if she'll come through." Itachi just nodded, meaning he wasn't really listening to the conversation anymore, though his smirk meant he was thinking something that would involve his brother later. The rest of the ride went fine until both males got a text from their beloved sister.
'Omg naruchan is pretty smart, I thnk he shud b an interrogator ^^'
"Wow, that's surprising," Itachi chuckled as he shut his phone. "Not really, when Naruto wants to know something, he'll find it out, no matter what. He has always been that way," the younger raven replied staring out the window at the passing cars. "...So that's what she meant, and she figured it out before me," Itachi implied glancing over to his little brother, pleased with his newly learned fact. "What?" Sasuke asked genuinely confused. To the expense of his curiosity though Itachi was completely finished with their conversation, so their ride home was quiet until it was interrupted by another text from Michiko stating the fact of her hitching a ride from Naruto home and Itachi bluntly brooding on how he wanted to make her walk those dangerous 20 miles home.
"Ita-niisan, Sasu-kitty, I'm home with company!" Michiko cheered as she and Naruto entered the living room. "Ugh, Naruto why'd you bring her back so soon, she'd be more comfortable in your house anyway." Michiko glared weakly at the back of Itachi's head before picking up her pet, Amaretsu the red-eyed black cat, and exiting to the kitchen. Itachi somehow got the 'secret message' and also head off to the kitchen asking his little sister why she'd pick such a huge cat for a pet, leaving the unexpectedly quiet Naruto and the reversed Sasuke on the couch together. "Um, you know she's crazy, right?" Naruto chuckled trying to change the tensed atmosphere, "but I guess she promised whoever that she would leak out any names but she wrote a few clues for me." Upon seeing the interest that plopped itself on Sasuke's face, Naruto pulled the note out of his pocket and handed it to the raven. A bunch hand-drawn chibi-kitsune and kuroi-koneko decorated the outside and a corner, most likely Michiko's doing, and a riddle was included:
Opposites attract for one simple reason.
Because they're the same while being different at all times.
Once the initial meeting they can never part
"So it's like she's telling me that I have to find somebody that's just like me but different ." Naruto stated folding his arms and making a cute deep thinking face. Yes, Sasuke has noticed that his blonde kitsune friend could come up with some cute faces. "And your insight has been hiding where?" Sasuke said with a small smirk. He was slightly thrilled that he was able to get the small glare out of the other boy, even though it was weak and he'd never attempt to the fact that he enjoyed Naruto's faces. "Well, Iruka said he'd hospitalize me if I didn't start using my brain more." "I should've told you that years ago." the raven mused looking the paper over once more before looking up at the blonde. Naruto, of course, was staring wide-eyed back at him; Sasuke's face immediately switched to one in confusion. Naruto mouthed something inconceivable before contagiously blushing madly. The sudden change in the blond surprise Sasuke to the point where he felt his own face become flushed. The two sputtered for a while until Sasuke could manage asking was there something on his face. "N-no, I was just zoning out a little it's nothing. Um, I better get home." Naruto stuttered as he scrambled off the couch towards the door without so much of an explanation. "Aw, you're leaving Naru-chan?" Michiko whined as she re-entered the room. "Um yeah, sorry, see you guys tomorrow." Naruto called out as he absent-mindedly bumped into Itachi. This caused the older raven to send a text over to Kyuubi so he'd talk with Naruto later, and of course, he started discussion with Sasuke circling his 'soon-to-hopefully-appear' love life. Between the blond's weirder than normal actions, Itachi's want to be 'helpful', and Michiko's burst of laughter over who knows what, Sasuke came to the conclusion that yes, this girl was going to make his whole life hectic.
