Another story from me! Yay! I hope you guys like this story as well and hopefully enjoy reading it. I don't have much to say here. So enjoy!
Summary: Sasuke never saw it coming, why would he? He had defeated the dobe and was supposed to be on his way to Orochimaru but here he was, back at Konoha and….babysitting! Curse them all! There is no way he is going to change the dobe's diapers…!
Disclaimer: never owned Naruto and never will.
Sasuke was muttering to himself as he walked along the pathway leading away from Konoha, dragging one foot after the other. His whole body was bruised and bloody. His clothes were torn and he was so exhausted that he barely had enough chakra in him to keep himself conscious. If the dobe only listened to him and let him go as he desired, his body wouldn't be in the state it was in now. It was all Naruto's fault, always getting in his way.
"Curse you, dobe!" Sasuke gasped and felt to his knees, sweating as the curse mark shot bliss of pain through his entire body. He reached out his hand and pressed down on it applying pressure to it, hoping it would cease the pain but it didn't. Sasuke gritted his teeth and crawled under a tree, resting his back and breathing heavily. Everything around he became fuzzy and he tilted his head upwards. He could only see a glimpse of the blue sky and the only a small fraction of the sun's rays barely made it through the thick leafs and branches of the high trees.
"…we became the best of friends…" Sasuke's eyes shot open. He hadn't even felt them close. Had he really meant it? Did he really consider Naruto as his best friend?
"Of course I don't," Sasuke whispered to himself quietly, still looking up, his eyes focused on the small area of where the blue sky could be seen. Deep inside there was a voice screaming at him, 'Bullshit! Of course you meant it. Naruto really had become your best friend, and you know it!'
"Shut up!" Sasuke told himself, trying to silence the voice. "You're wrong…"
'Oh am I?' the voice taunted on.
"Yes you are. If Naruto is my best friend than he shouldn't have tried to stop me. He knows he much I want to kill Itachi! He was only getting in my way as usual," Sasuke shook his head and tried to get rid of the voice but only succeeded in making his headache worse.
'Then why didn't you kill him?'
"Who?"
'If Naruto isn't your best friend, then why didn't you finish him off? You had the chance and there was no body there to stop you. I know you still remember what Itachi told you."
Sasuke's eyes widen and he clenched his head. 'Take the life of your best friend…' The words were so vividly fresh in Sasuke's mind.
"…Because…" Sasuke began and knew that the voice was right. He had every opportunity to kill the blond but he didn't. Just before he had left after their battle at the valley of the end, he checked on Naruto. The blond was serious injured but he was still alive and that was all that mattered to Sasuke. "…Because Naruto isn't my best friend….and if I did kill him, then it would have been a waste. Itachi said to 'take the life of your best friend'…not the life of a dead-last." The raven-haired Uchiha finished off and for a moment, the voice was silent. Sasuke sighed with relief.
'Are you sure you just didn't want to lose him?' the voice came back again and Sasuke felt like crying from frustration.
"Would you shut up?" He yelled in unison to no one in particular. Sasuke looked around and saw no body. "I finally lost it, haven't i?" he thought out loud. "I knew I would one day…"
"..You're one of the ones I want to fight the most."
Sasuke's eyes widen and he could have sworn he heard Naruto's voice. For a second he thought he even saw the dobe with his goofy idiotic grin. Sasuke rubbed his eyes and then closed them, resting against the tree.
Sasuke jumped slightly and opened his eyes when he some noise coming from behind one of the trees. "Who's there?" he questioned, making no attempt to defend himself not that he was in any shape to anyways.
He waited anxiously for the enemy or friend to reveal themselves. Sasuke blinked and to his surprise, a blond-haired baby emerged from behind the tree, crawling towards him. Sasuke made an attempt to back away slowly and then stopped, thinking, 'What the hell am I doing? He is just a baby!' The blond-haired baby crawled over to Sasuke, stopping in front of the Uchiha and tilting his head to one side in confusion. Sasuke just watched him carefully, thinking who in their right mind would leave a baby in such a place like this. The baby looked up at Sasuke's face and then poked him, laughing and clapping his hands happily. Sasuke felt the corners of his lips twitch upwards into a smile and he couldn't stop them.
"Hello there," Sasuke said and then slowly reached out his hand to the baby but suddenly stopped when an image of Naruto flashed into his mind. Sasuke shook his head hysterically and the baby just tilted his head to one side again and frowned at him.
Sasuke just eyed the baby closely. It was either just him or the blond-haired looked like Naruto. The blond-haired baby was wearing an orange shirt that said 'cuteness is a crime' and shorts and had whiskers mark.
"Where is your mommy, little one?" Sasuke asked and then face-palmed himself when he got no reply. Sasuke sighed. What was he supposed to do? He couldn't just leave a baby out here all alone in the woods, even he wasn't that cruel! But he had to get to Orochimaru. Sasuke staggered to his feet and looked down at the baby who was looking up at him with his big round baby blue-eyes.
"I'm sorry but I can't waste any more time here," Sasuke said and turned to look at the direction he was headed. He had already wasted enough time. Sasuke looked back down at the baby who was now trying to squish the ants on the ground and wondered what to do with him. He couldn't leave him here but he couldn't take him with him either. Sasuke frowned at himself and then wondered why he even cared. '…Because he looks like Naruto,' There was that voice again! Sasuke thought for a moment. The closest village to him now was Konoha and he no intentions of stepping foot back in that place again, but he had no choice. Sasuke picked up the baby, almost tumbling over and falling.
"Ok little one, lets take you somewhere safe," Sasuke said. He was only planning on taking the baby to Konoha and leaving him in front of the gate for someone to find him and then head back to Orochimaru. Sasuke groaned. It was going to be a painful journey, considering the amount of chakra he had left. The blond-haired baby just smiled and poked Sasuke.
Kakashi smirked under his mask from where he stood on top of the tree. Everything was going according to plan. He flipped another page of his Icha Icha paradise book and a red blush came to his face as he laughed quietly and then looked down at where the baby Naruto and Sasuke stood.
"Mission passed!" he applauded quietly and then went back to reading his orange book. Now he could go and enjoy his book without any fuss.
