"Hi, I'm Sai. Left you cookies, hope you like chocolate chip."
That's what the sticky note on my front door said. I paused with the key halfway in the lock and tore it off the door, shoving it at Sasuke. Then I looked down and saw a huge plate of chocolate chip cookies, which I happily picked up. "What's that?"
He took the note and looked it over. "Oh yeah, this is from Sai. He lives in the other apartment on this floor. He's an artist and he works out of his apartment, so don't expect to ever see him."
I pushed the door open and entered, looking around my new apartment. I set the cookies down on a table next to the door. Surprisingly, it was pretty nice. My arrival in Konoha had been unexpected, so I wasn't anticipating much in terms of my new home. Maybe a one-room apartment with a tiny bathroom or something. Nope, this was a lush apartment with a beautiful view of a small forest with a tiny, visible pond which could be seen by a large, wall-length window in my living room. The entire wall was made of glass. "Why did Sai leave a note instead of just coming by to say hi?"
Sasuke dropped one of my bags into a fluffy chair in the middle of the room. "He never speaks."
I turned and raised an eyebrow. "Never?"
"Never. He communicates with sticky notes."
Great. More Konoha weirdness for me to deal with. God, I wanna go home…
Sasuke saw me looking out the window. "That's your backyard, by the way."
I raised an eyebrow again.
"Yeah," he continued. "That little patch of forest is in the property. It would be nice to take a walk around there every morning."
"Mmm."
I walked around the apartment, secretly loving all of the fancy appliances. There was a microwave which had a blender attached to it. Have you ever heard of one of those!? Me neither. But there it was! Hey, I wasn't gonna turn it down. It was cool.
Distracted by my surroundings, I completely forgot that Sasuke was sitting in my fluffy chair, looking around. It's not like he said anything, so how was I supposed to remember that he was in my house? As soon as I walked out of the kitchen, I saw him sitting there, his hands folded into each other. Ugh, he's annoying.
"You can leave now," I said, with a slight chill in my voice.
He looked up. "I could."
Annoying!
"That means, 'leave'."
He grinned. It made me sick. Who does he think he is!?
"What, and let you wander around and get yourself lost?"
"Ha. Right. No. Get out."
Rolling his eyes, he got out of my fluffy chair. He walked to the door and dropped the last of my bags. "You're welcome?"
"Thanks."
He took one last look at me, a look that kind of gave me chills, and then he was gone, and I heard his footsteps disappearing down the staircase. I collapsed into my fluffy chair, suddenly feeling very tired.
I was beginning to doze off when I heard someone shuffling very quickly down the hallway. Immediately, I was alert. Listening closely, I heard someone lightly touch my door, knock on it twice, and then shuffle back down the hallway. What the…
I heard a door close somewhere down the hallway, and I rose cautiously, slipping open the door and being met by a small sticky note on the door.
"Hope you liked cookies. Should not be so mean to Sasuke. Is not so bad."
I kept re-reading the note over and over again as I shut the door and went to unpack the first of my bags, the one that Sasuke had put next to the fluffy chair. I guess this note is from Sai, too…
"What do you mean, Sasuke isn't so bad!?" I said to myself. "He's a stalker."
The note was stuck on the table next to the door, along with the other one, and I grabbed the plate of cookies and set them on the small table in front of my fluffy chair. I picked up a cookie and took a bite, smiling. It was good. Taking the occasional bite of cookie, I began to unpack my bag. This bag was mostly full of my books. I had always loved to read.
But there was a tilt in the books. Something was hidden underneath the first book on the top, and when I picked it up, I saw a rolled up piece of paper. Picking up the piece of paper, I unrolled it and glanced at the markings on it.
What…
It was a map.
A map of Konoha.
And at the bottom was Sasuke's signature with a little note written next to it.
"Good luck, thought you might like help."
Maybe he's a nice stalker.
