Hey everyone! This is the second chapter of this story. I wasn't really sure about it and thought I should delete it. Though I had a couple of positive reviews, so I thought, why the heck not? I'll continue it.
To the people that reviewed it: Thank you sooo much! It means a lot! I hope I don't disappoint any of you and will keep reading to the end:)
It wouldn't let me save the changes in the last chapter so I couldn't put my disclaimer. Hopefully I don't get sued or anything for not putting it in the last chapter.-.- But here it is now.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of these characters. Just this story -that includes the last chapter too-
"God damn it! Where is it!" yelled Ino in frustration. How hard could it be to find a couple of eggs? People were starting to look at her like she'd just grown 2 heads.
Sakura heard her all the way from the other side of the store. Why was it so hard just to ask the person who worked here where the eggs are? Because this is Ino we're talking about. She wanted to find the eggs by "herself".
They were almost done with Sakura's grocery shopping, all they needed was the eggs. Which Ino still hadn't found. Sakura walked toward Ino, and pointed in a corner where the freezers were. All the way across the store.
"Eggs are supposed to be in a cool temperature, therefore being by the freezers. So why in the world are you in the soup isle?" questioned Sakura with a were-you-born-stupid-or-do-you-have-to-work-at-it look.
Ino had no response. It was a Monday. Mondays were never one of her good days. Especially mornings. She just stomped to the freezers to get the eggs. She just took any, really. They were eggs, so it doesn't matter what kind they were, right? Walking back, she found Sakura already on line to pay for the items she bought. She ran toward her and handed over the eggs, smiling. Sakura probably thought she felt accomplished.
The line was moving quite slow and Ino was already bored. She thought about asking Sakura about something, but she would probably say no with all things she needs to do. Deciding she would try anyways, she asked hesitantly.
"Soooo, forehead. I understand you have a lot to do today and you just came back from a mission. But can we please hang out? I'll help you with everything so you can be finished faster!" pleaded Ino with puppy eyes. The puppy eyes always worked. What kind of monster would ever say no to that precious face?
"I don't know Ino. I mean, I guess we could. But what about Mrs. Atarasi's children I have to babysit? I can't leave them alone. Some one has to take care of them."
"Easy. Sasuke and Naruto can babysit them. They're off today, aren't they? See, problem solved!"
"Problem not solved. Do you honestly believe I'm going to let those two idiots babysit? They're the ones who need to be babysat. Naruto and children in the same sentences just doesn't go. And Sasuke. Well Sasuke's okay I guess. Though I doubt he knows how to properly take care of children. Especially if Naruto's in the same house. They'll probably kill each other."
Sakura payed the nice man at the store and walked out. Now all she had to do was go home, put everything she bought away so she can make her soldier pills later, and clean the house.
"Well, you do have a point. But I honestly believe they both matured a lot over the years. They're a lot more capable than you think." They suddenly both burst out laughing. After a couple of minutes, they calmed down a bit.
"Hahaha oh god. Nice joke Ino, haven't had a good laugh in a while." said Sakura, wiping a few tears. "Though, I guess I'll give them a chance at it."
"YES! I'd knew you give in!" cheered Ino. In about 10 minutes, they were at Sakura's house. Sakura wouldn't really call it a house though. It was hers and all, but it was a little smaller than an average house. The front door led to a relatively large living room that was connected to a medium sized kitchen. In the middle of it that split the two rooms apart was a hallway. The long corridor consisted of a bedroom with a queen sized bed (Sakura likes her extra space) and a guest bedroom next to it. Across from it was a small bathroom and on the side was a closet with supplies. There was also another door that led to the basement, she usually has it for small get togethers with her friends. The last door was to the balcony, but Sakura rarely went out on it, not really knowing the point of having it.
"Okay, so now all we have to do is clean right?" Sakura nodded. They got to work immediately, cleaning everything in sight. Everything was mostly dusty and things thrown all over the place. She was on her mission for about a week, and before that, she was on another mission for 2 weeks. Of course it would be dirty and look like it was untouched for ages.
After about a whole hour of cleaning, Sakura and Ino were finally done.
"My god, forehead, that was way too much cleaning than I could have handled" said Ino exhausted. She plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV, flipping through the channels.
"Okay, so were done cleaning the house. What's next?"
"Well, since you helped me we're actually an hour early. Mrs. Atarasi was going to drop off her kids at 12. It's only 10:58." said Sakura looking at the clock. They had an extra hour left, what could they possibly do in their spare time?
"This might be a good time to invite Naruto and Sasu-" Sakura was about to finish her sentence when a big puff of smoke entered the room.
"SAKURA-CHAN! I'VE MISSED YOU!" Yup, good old Naruto. Yelling at the top of his lungs at people 24/7. Unlike Ino, he didn't crush her to death with his hugs. After a good minute, he let go.
"Hey Naruto. Just on time" smirking, she looked at Sasuke in the background, poor guy, he was probably dragged along with him against his own will.
"Huh? What do you mean Sakura-chan?" questioned Naruto, giving his cute clueless face, as usual.
"What she means is that you and Sasuke are going to babysit for the day. Sakura and I are going to hang out today" said Ino confidently, trying to hide the smirk that was spreading across her face.
"WHAT? I though we were going to hang out today Sakura-chan!"said Naruto, anime tears streaming down his face.
"Hn, I'm not babysitting anyone." That's Sasuke for you. Blunt and straight forward as always.
"Oh yes are! You're babysitting and that's final. Sakura and I haven't spent time with each other for more than a month."
"Hn"
"Do you say anything other than your stupid cave man grunts?"said Ino in a more raised tone.
The two continued to argue. Well, mostly Ino yelling at him and Sasuke giving her glares hoping she'd shut her mouth. Meanwhile, Naruto and Sakura just stared at them. Not being bothered to do anything. Sakura sighed. How many times has she done that today?
"You want ramen, Naruto?" asked Sakura. She looked at Naruto and all she saw was the biggest smile spread across his face, his hands clasped together. She swore she almost saw birds chirping and a rainbow behind him like he was in heaven. From her perspective, she took that as a yes.
She walked to the kitchen and prepared him instant ramen. She obviously knew that the amount of ramen she's going to serve him now won't even fill him up ΒΌ of the way. With that nine-tails inside of him, he's never satisfied. A couple minutes later she served him his ramen in a bowl. He dug in like he hasn't ate in days. She just smiled and him until she noticed a dish that was still unclean. She decided that she might as well clean it. Not even half a minute later, she was finished and turned around.
"You're done?" asked Sakura. She was amazed. Even though she actually shouldn't be. Knowing Naruto since she was a kid, she'd know that he has a big appetite.
"Yeah, I've been for a while."said Naruto like it was the most non-nonchalant thing ever. Sakura took his bowl and cleaned it in the sink. It was getting quiet. Too quiet. And she didn't like it.
"You're not mad are you?"
"Mad? What for? If you're talking about the whole hanging out thing, it's okay, we'll hang out another time!" said Naruto cheerfully. He was always such a kindhearted guy, Sakura thought.
"OOOO~ you like him!" Of course, her inner just had to pop out of no where.
"No, I don't. I love him, but only as a brother, and you know that.""Suuuure, whatever you say, lair" "INNER, I don't like him. I don't like anyone as a matter of fact." "Like I was saying, besides, someone else deserves Naruto and he deserves someone better than me."
"NO, I've gotten over him years ago, remember?""Nope, don't remember something that didn't happen." She literally felt that damn smirk of hers spread across her face. Telling herself to be more mature, she changed back the subject.
"Sakura-chaaaan! Why aren't you answering me? Are you okay?" Naruto kept asking question after question.
"Huh? OH, sorry Naruto. Kind of spaced out" said Sakura chuckling nervously. Why does this always happen to her? Especially around people.
"So, Naruto. Anything new?" asked Sakura curiously.
"Not really. I've been getting a lot of missions lately. Not even good ones though, they're all too easy. That's pretty much it though besides from ramen." said Naruto with a bored expression on his face with his left hand on the table, supporting his head.
"Yeah, same. What about, you know, relationships and stuff?"
"YOU WANNA GO OUT WITH ME?" His eyes wider than ever.
"No, Naruto." raising an eyebrow at how quickly he yelled out that question. "I meant like other women and stuff like that. Have you ever found one that catches your eye? Even girls from this village. Like Hinata? I mean, just a suggestion."
"Nah, Hinata's too shy and quiet. But she's pretty cool, I guess"
"Yosh! He said she's pretty cool!""He said I guess""Shut up, inner! At least we're getting somewhere!" Sakura's been trying to get those two together for the longest time. But, no luck whatsoever. They chatted away for about a half hour longer, talking about other news in other villages and how Tsunade should give them more challenging missions. Stuff like that.
"It's 12:10 Sakura. Shouldn't that lady be here by now?"
"Yeah, I guess she's running a little late. No worries"
Two minutes passed, when there was a knock on the door. was at the door with her 3 sons. The first boy was named Roman. He had spiky short red hair with golden eyes. He was 4 years old. The other two were twins that looked identical, so much that you couldn't even tell the difference. They were about a year and a half old. The one on the left was named Takeo and the one on the right was Takeshi. Just by the names, she felt they weren't calm and quiet babies. But what babies were quiet anyways?
"I'm so sorry for being late! The twins wouldn't stop crying and I couldn't get Roman to listen to me." apologized . The young women, probably in her late 20's, had short auburn hair with long bangs by the side.
"Oh, don't be sorry, it's not a problem at all"said Sakura. gave her a big blue and green bag. She told her that it was filled with things the babies will need like diapers, favorite toys, and baby food. She bid her goodbyes and told Sakura to be careful with them. Sakura didn't really know what she meant by that. Still, she said she will and closed the door. She turned around and saw Roman by Sasuke's side and the baby in his arms, the other in Naruto's. Maybe they're not so bad at this after all.
"Aw, well isn't that sweet!" said Ino. Sasuke just glared at her while Naruto was too busy on the couch making funny faces to the baby to make it laugh.
"Hn, whatever. Just get out."
"AH-HA! So that means you agree to babysitting them!" yelled Ino, pointing at his face. Sasuke just rolled his eyes. Meanwhile Sakura came back into the living room, putting her wallet in her back pocket. She knew that when she was with Ino, there had to be shopping involved.
"Okay, I guess we should get going pig." stated Sakura," Remember, both of you. Don't loose the babies, don't go in my room, when they're crying they're either hungry or you need to change their diapers, don't even think about leaving this house, and try not to kill each other" pointing at the two idiots with a glare
"Okay, okay! We understand Sakura-chan. Now go have fun, it's all taken care of." said Naruto, literally pushing Sakura and Ino out of the house. What was up with him? He closed the door and turned to Sasuke. Smiling like a lunatic.
"What are you smiling about, dobe?"
"I'm a father!"
"You do know that this isn't real. We're just babysitting."
"Oh come on, teme! Lighten up. Besides, this is going to fun. I'll be the father, and you can be the mother." patting Sasuke on the back. Sasuke turned around, giving Naruto a glare that could kill. Oh, this was going to be fun.
Haha, little SasuNaru at the end for the laughs:P Oh, I forgot to mention, there's also side pairings (NaruHina, ShikaIno, TenNeji) but like I said, the main one I will be focusing on will be SasuSaku. Yep, that's it for now, I guess. Hope you enjoy!:)
I apologize for it being short. I'll try to write more next chapter. And sorry for the lack of SasuSaku. I don't really want to rush it, but there will be more next chapter, don't worry:)
