Where Home Is
Chapter Two
The next day, Sasuke woke up to find Kakashi in the living room, reading his Icha Icha Paradise book. Rolling his eyes upward, the onyx eye Uchiha stalked into the kitchen to grab a couple tomatoes and started to dice them in a smooth fluid motion with a knife. He headed back to the living room after he was done then opened the shoji door then sat down staring into the mass field of garden. Taking a breath into his lungs, he let it all out. Somehow, Sasuke was content. He felt like he was home but something was missing. Or rather, someone was missing from his life. Then, a flash of memory of a golden blonde hair flashed through his mind.
"Sasuke!"
Smiling at the memory, he picked up a piece of tomato and then popped it into his mouth, savoring the sweet taste of the tomato.
"You seem to be in a good mood." Kakashi said from behind him, still reading his "book".
"Hn…" Sasuke shook his head before popping another piece of tomato into his mouth.
"Tsunade-sama has already decided who your probation officer is. She will be here sometime later today." Kakashi tilted his head to the side when the boy didn't reply back. Shrugging off, he went over to the sofa and sat down reading.
"Do you know who my probation officer is?" Sasuke solemnly asked.
"You'll meet her soon." Kakashi said, smiling sadly under his mask.
One of these days, Sasuke will so rip that annoying black mask from Kakashi's face and see how his sensei looks like.

Later that day standing in front of the mirror in her bathroom, Naruko tugged at the hem of her bright neon orange shirt that hung past her shapely thighs. Still half naked with only her shirt and panties, Naruko brushed her bangs with her fingers before heading out of the bathroom and into her bedroom to put on some pants. God, why did Ba-chan have to make her as Sasuke's probation officer! She was one of the ANBU leaders but damn that Ba-chan for making her suspended from work for a while! Ba-chan better pay her a raise too!
Huffing, Naruko slammed the bedroom on her way out with her bag slung over her shoulders.
Well, I guess it's time to head out and see him…she thought.
Outside her apartment, two ANBU's waited for Naruko.
"Kitsune-sama." One of the ANBU's greeted quietly, using her ANBU name.
Gesturing her head, they escorted her to the Uchiha Household. It took a while to get to the household and when they walked through the gates, Naruko's heart was beating so hard and fast that it felt like it was going to burst from her chest and fall on the ground.
"Stop. I'll go in by myself. I'll motion to you two to leave when it's safe to do so, got it?" She told them.
Both ANBU's nodded and stayed at the entrance of the gate while she made her way towards the door of Sasuke's home.
Sasuke…I'm going to see Sasuke again. After all these years, I'm finally going to see him. She thought. What was she going to say to him? What will he say to her? She wasn't prepared to see him yet nor greet him. Like as if she was going to greet him with 'Hi, you forsaken bastard!' or 'Teme! How ya been?' or better yet 'I'm your probation officer. Let's not kill each other, okay?'. Wiping her now sweaty hands on her shirt, Naruko cleared her throat when she stood in front of the door, preparing to knock.
Closing her eyes, she counted to five.
1…2…3…4…5…
Naruko opened her eyes, raised her fist and knocked twice. When no one answered the door, she was prepared to knock again when the door jerked wide open, making a breeze pass her face. Eyes widening, her sapphire eyes met dark onyx eyes that stared back at her.
Oh, fuck—Naruko quickly took four steps back.
"Na…ruko?" Sasuke spoke.
His voice so deep and rich that it sent tingling sensations from her head to her toe. Naruko was sure she was being seduced by his voice only.
Sasuke eyed the blonde girl in front of him. Oh, how little she changed. Well…minus the fact that her hair grew a little bit longer, she probably grew a couple inches and well, hell! Even Dobe's mini A-cup breasts grew to what? C-cup breasts! Staring in awe, Sasuke took in Naruko's beauty, carving her etched into his mind. Her ugly bright orange shirt was so damn large; it can fit two of her. It hung well over the swell of her breasts and down to her knees. Her khaki's hid almost from prying eyes unless you can detect that tiny black inch just right below the end of her shirt. Her golden blonde hair was loose and long down past her hips.
Naruko gave Sasuke a frown, wondering what was so damn surprising that he was gawking at her as if he'd seen something he shouldn't have. "What?" she snapped.
Sasuke mentally shook his mind. "I…Uh…I'm…" Fuck! An Uchiha shouldn't stammer and gawk like a little girl! His ego pride was hurt already!
"Sasuke…?"
He swallowed, as if he swallowed a lump of rock. She was staring up at him with her brilliant and irritated sapphire eyes, her hands on her hips. Then he blurted "You grew bigger."
"What?" Her frown deepened. "Of course I grew bigger! It's not like I'm going to stay short forever!"
"No, I mean…" Sasuke cleared his throat, a blush appearing on his cheeks. "Your breasts…They grew bigger when I last saw you."
Somewhere in the back of her mind, Naruko heard Kyuubi laughing. But slowly, Sasuke's words seeped into her mind, finally registering what he said. About her breasts. Her face turned bright red and all the way down her neck. "You—You—You! BASTARD!" Naruko screamed her hand almost contacting the damn Uchiha's face until he caught it in his large hand, stopping her. "You! God forsaken Uchiha!"
Finally turning bright red, Sasuke continued to hold Naruko's hand in his until two ANBU's appeared. One behind him and one behind Naruko.
"Kitsune-sama!" One of them sounded concern. "Are you alright?"
"What have you done to her, Uchiha?" The one behind Sasuke asked, nipping the back of his neck with a kunai. "Tell me, now!"
Sasuke winced when he felt the tip of the kunai cut his neck gently, a trickle of blood forming already.
"He didn't do anything!" Naruko defended him. "Nothing happened! I was just surprised and all. Please, retreat back now."
"Are you sure?" The one behind her asked.
"Yes. Now leave me and Uchiha Sasuke. I will do my duty from here on out. You're both dismissed." Naruko said.
Both ANBU's vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving Sasuke and her alone at the front door.

Both of them were sitting in the living room, on the ground. Both stared at the floor for a very long time. Neither said or greeted each other. Well, they did earlier but it wasn't what either expected to happen.
Naruko however…
Damn that teme! Can't believe he actually said my breasts grew BIGGER! Like, hell, not that it changes anything! I mean, I'm a girl after all! Naruko fumed silently.
In the back of her mind, Kyuubi continued to laugh as if the world was already ending. Ah, kit! That poor sucker of the Uchiha merely complimented on you! I mean, sure I would agree. He does have a good eye sight.
Shut it, Kyuu! Naruko slammed her palms on the floor, making Sasuke jerk back.
Hey, he only said your breasts grew bigger. I must say, you're one sexy blonde, kitten. Kyuubi laughed even more.
A vein was ready to pop on Naruko's head as she continued to fume.
While Sasuke tried to figure out why Naruko was so quiet, her face red and well, it looked like she was angry at him for something. Rewinding what happened earlier finally registered his mind. Eyes widening, he mentally slapped himself. Oh, shit…I just had to tell her that her breasts grew bigger. Well, it is a sight to begin with. Sasuke thought to himself.
Well…
"I'm sorry…" he muttered. God, he hates apologizing to people. Never once in his life he apologized. Well, maybe to Itachi when he was still a kid but that was only once!
"What?" Jerking her head up from staring at the floor, Naruko stared wide eyed at Sasuke. Did she hear him right? He was saying sorry to her? "Say what?" One brow rose up.
"I said, I'm sorry." Sasuke huffed, narrowing his eyes and glaring daggers at the blonde sitting across from him.
"You? Sorry?" Clutching her stomach, Naruko laughed, tears brimming at the corner of her eyes. "You, of all people in Konoha telling me that you're sorry? That's too funny!" Rolling on the floor, she continued to laugh, making Sasuke glower at her even more.
Dammit! Now, she's laughing at me! Sasuke made a 'tsk' sound. "Hey, at least I said I was sorry. Stop—Dammit, Naruko! I said stop." He scooted over to her then pinned her arms at her side. He stared down at her.
Naruko immediately stopped. Her eyes stared up at Sasuke. Goodness, he was too close to her! His face was inching close to her, too. God…she could lose herself in his endless onyx eyes. Somehow, her heart started to beat faster once again. Her head starteed to feel fuzzy as well as her whole body started to do that tingling feeling sensation again.
He is so…He's too close! Naruko screamed in her mind at the sudden realization.
Maybe you should give him a kiss? Kyuubi questioned her.
What? No! He's my friend! Naruko panicked.
Didn't you tell him long ago that you liked him?
That was only because I like him as friend! Not like a…L…L…L…How she hated saying the "L" word. Not like a…Lover! That was too damn hard to say.
Suit yourself, kit…
"Too close…" Naruko mumbled a moment later.
Blinking, Sasuke asked, "Too close, what?"
"You're too close! Move!" Naruko snapped, twisting herself but at the same time, one of her knees jerked up and yeah, it was not something that Sasuke expected. Much less getting kicked between his—
"Ow! Dammit, Dobe!" Sasuke fell beside Naruko, pressing his knees together. "Dammit, Dobe, why did you have to kick me there?"
"Well, geez, teme, didn't you ever think that you were shoving your face close enough to make the person cross-eyed?" Naruko yelled, eyes glowering at the crumbled Sasuke on the floor. "Sheesh!" Standing up, she stalked into the hallway then paused. "Where's the kitchen?" She barked.
"Three doors down to your right…" Sasuke muttered, still wincing from the pain of getting kicked. "What are you going to do in the kitchen?" He called out.
"Lunch!" Was her reply.
What a day, Sasuke thought with a smile that was creeping up on his face. His heart and soul felt…very content. Just being with his blonde Dobe made him happy. That hole deep inside of his heart as well as his soul was getting filled already, slowly.
"Naru…" Sasuke whispered with a content and happy sigh flopped on to his back, an arm over his forehead, his eyes staring up at the ceiling.
