Its summer...I'm bored. I'm finally free from school and tests. It sucks that the side affect of all this is boredom. And when I'm bored, that means I find something to do that keeps me un-bored. Unfortunately for you, I decided to work on my fics to kill time. Plus, Micro Word isn't internet so my mom can't say anything to stop me. Boo-hoo huh:D
But anyway...WOW... 62 reviews for one chapt. I feel so loved. THANKS! –Huggles-
One, two, they're coming for you.
Three, four, better lock your door.
Five, six, grab your crucifix.
Seven, eight, better stay up late.
Nine, ten, never sleep again...
-A Nightmare on Elm Streat
Marco Polo
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura, along with the rest of the female population in the Uchiha Mansion's entertainment room screamed as zombies suddenly popped out on the fifty-inch plasma TV screen.
Actually, the female population only consisted of Sakura, Hinata, Ino, and Tenten.
It was Friday, and like any other bachelor custom, it was movie night. Our heroes, the guys, were currently laughing their head off from the reaction given off by each of their girlfriends.
Yup, you're typical fantastic eight.
"I never thought Tenten was capable of screaming that loud." Naruto laughed.
"Shut up blondie." Tenten growled and chucked a pillow at his face.
"Now you just made she-man angry." Neji snickered teasingly.
"C-Cousin...that's mean." Hinata scolded quietly.
"Oh so now I'm a she-man." Tenten crossed her arms haughtily. "What about you Neji-kun? I still remember what happened last time...very he-she."
Neji's curved mouth instantly dropped as he stared at his girl in horror. Sasuke glanced over at his rival shiftily and smiled. "What happened last time?"
"It was horrible...at least for Neji-kun. I was so surprised that he actually did something like that." Tenten said smoothly and played with a loose strand of her mahogany hair.
"What happened??" Sakura asked curiously and gasped slightly as Tenten made a little sign language with her hands. "Oh that!!!"
"WHAT?! You told them?!!!" Neji exclaimed, losing his cool.
Sakura started to giggle and looked over at Ino with her big green eyes.
"Of course Neji-kun! Tenten-chan did what she had to do. It's only right to share her secrets with her best friends." Ino laughed.
"Mwahahaha!! Fear my female awesomeness Neji-kun!!" Tenten cackled evily and pointed her index finger at her current soul mate. "You're lucky that I only told the girls."
"This is so troublesome." Shikamaru yawned and stared at the ceiling. If only Sasuke made artificial clouds, then the whole room wouldn't be so boring.
"So Hyuuga...what happened? Peed in your pants?" Sasuke scoffed randomly.
"Something like that." Tenten interrupted and hummed an unknown tune. Instantly all the guys snapped their head towards Neji and unleashed their gaping jaws. "Oops... I'm sorry...it just slipped off my mouth."
"I DID NOT PEE IN MY PANTS!" Neji shouted.
"DID TOO!"
"DID NOT!"
"What? You're saying you got periods now?!" Tenten snickered.
"Hyuuga...we had no idea..." Sasuke smirked.
"You got a penis removal?" Naruto laughed. "Did it hurt? Did it hurt?"
"Shut the hell up! I did not pee in my pants! Coffee spilt! And it just so happened that she-man caught me when I did." Neji explained quickly.
"Lame excuse!" Tenten sang and the girls nodded.
"We heard that you were watching The Ring when you accidentally spilled coffee on your pants." Sakura reasoned and smiled darkly.
Sasuke patted Sakura's head proudly for dissing his rival and smirked. "Is that true Hyuuga?! I always thought you were a big strong man that can handle anything. Especially a kiddy film like The Ring."
"You're this close to being killed." Neji growled threatening.
"Wow, the timing sure is perfect..." Naruto mused. "I mean...The Ring is a horror film after all...and spilling coffee onto his pants...man...what a coincidence."
Tenten grinned toothily and flashed a peace sign at Neji. "That's what you get for calling me a she-man!"
"No one messes with Bunhead-chan!" Ino cheered.
"Heyy!!"
"Just you wait Tenten...I'll get you...nice and sweet." Neji smirked coolly and regained his usual calmness making Tenten slightly shudder.
And all was suddenly silent.
"..."
"So...is it true that you peed in your pants?"
"N-Naruto-kun..."
"...DIE YOU STUPID FOX!!"
"Tch...so troublesome..."
As to whether or not Hyuuga Neji peed in his pants, it's up to the dear reader to decide for the writer herself is still pondering on that peculiar mystery.
The Next Day – Bright and Glorious Saturday
"Sasuuuuuuuukeeeee." Sakura called banging on a stainless pot.
Bang Bang Bang
Woof Woof Woof
"Wake."
Bang Bang Bang
Woof Woof Woof
"Up."
Bang Bang B-
Hissssss
"Ahhhhh I'm up, I'm up!!" Sasuke growled and threw his pillow at the noisy girl beside him. Yuki, who was sleeping beside him, was now fanatically trying to scratch Shadow for waking her up. It's a mystery how Shadow ended up being Sasuke's pet and Yuki being Sakura's when it should be the other way around.
"Since when do you wake up so early?" He grumbled, stretching his limbs.
"Since now. And it's your entire fault. I couldn't sleep for the whole night after watching that damn movie!!" Sakura pouted. "Anyway, Milly needed someone to go grocery shopping today since all seven of the fridges are out of food. I don't think either of us have any plans so I said I'll help."
Note: In case if all of you have forgotten from ETC, Milly is the main cook in the Uchiha household. See chapter eight in ETC for more details and infos on other servants.
"Why do I have to tag along?" Sasuke complained and slipped on a black t-shirt which he got from the closet.
"Because..." Sakura explained, impatiently tapping her foot. "You expect me to carry all the food that's needed to feed all twenty-eight of your servants for the whole month?!"
Inner Sakura: On a side note, we'll finally be able to spend some time together! Hell yeah!
"Well...you're abnormally strong for a girl..." He smirked.
"Hurry up and get dressed jerk!! We're going in ten minutes." Sakura huffed and stomped out the door.
Inner Sakura: Yay! Free time with that hotass.
When everything was set, each of them decided to drive a car since a month of food enough to feed thirty people including themselves aren't going to fit in one car.
Upon arrival with Sasuke in the lead (much to Sakura's dismay), they parked their cars and glossed over Milly's list of groceries in awe.
"Three bags of tomatoes...five bags of potatoes...six bags of flour...three watermelon...fifty apples..." Sakura read the first few things out of the one hundred or so items listed.
"The list goes on and on..." Sasuke commented in annoyance. "Good job Sakura. Now we have to spend the rest of the day searching for food."
"Hey, I didn't know we have to buy this much! I merely thought of cutting the servants some slack." She reasoned.
"We'll you could've read the list first before we came. Two cars aren't enough for all these stuff."
"How the heck did they manage to grocery shop before?"
"Beats me."
"Well let's split the list in half and meet up in an hour."
"This is so annoying. I'm a guy. Guy's don't grocery shop. I said this before."
"Don't be a pussy Uchiha. Lot's of guys go shopping."
"Not me."
"Coldass jerk. If I finish before you...you have to wash my car."
Sakura grinned widely and darted off to get a push-cart before Sasuke can say anything.
"Girls..." He scowled and ran off to get a cart of his own. First thing on his list: Ten sacks of rice.
"Let's see...twelve boxes of sugar...what the heck is Milly going to make with this much sugar?" Sakura mused and strolled down aisle number four. She already finished getting half of the things on her list and her cart is already almost full.
Walking to the end of the aisle, she stopped and scratched her head. She was sure the sugar was in this aisle. Leaving her cart momentarily, she ran back browsing through the goodies the store has to offer once again when...
BAM
"Owww..." Both victims cried in unison.
"I-I'm sorry." Sakura apologized while rubbing her bottom.
"It's alright." The young man in his early twenties replied and smiled. He had dark hair and dark eyes, very much like Sasuke's. But on the contrary, his hair wasn't as messy and a little bit flat. Very good looking though.
"That's good." She sighed in relief and watched as the man nodded politely and slowly walked away. Still a little bit dazed from the fall, she continued searching for sugar.
"Ahhh... I give up!" She exclaimed in exasperation and glared at the box of baking soda on the rack. If only it was sugar. At this rate, she can never get Sasuke to wash her beloved car.
Inner Sakura: Why don't you just ask someone who works here idiot?
"Oh right...ehehehehe..." Sakura chuckled to herself and looked around. Just her luck, a sandy red-headed salesperson passed by. "Excuse me Mr.! Do you know where I can find some sugar?"
The young salesperson stopped and turned nodded. "Sorry, everyone is having problems with finding the sugar. It's right over here." He directed as he led her to the middle of the aisle.
"Yay, thanks!" Quickly grabbing twelve boxes she dumped them all into the cart and raced to her next destination, leaving the red-head in amazement.
That's a lot of sugar... he thought.
"Damnit..." Sasuke cussed. Two hours have passed and he was only two-thirds done. Carefully balancing his over loaded cart, he fastened his pace to finish the stupid mission.
Ringgggg
"What the fuck!!" He jumped slightly in surprise. Cursing in annoyance, he quickly pulled out his cell. "Yeah?"
"Sasukeeeeeeeeeeeeee-kunnnnnnnn...wahhh..."
"Oh...it's you."
"I can't my last item." –cries-
"Damn...you're that far already?"
"I'm always going to be farther than you, mwahahaha."
"You're annoying."
"Hahaha...wait...yay!! That means your still searching for stuff! Go me!"
"Yeah well, don't count on being too happy for too long. I'm almost finished."
"Kiss. My. Lovely. A—OWWWWWW."
Sasuke pulled away from his cell phone as a series of clashes and bangs exploded in his ear. "Sakura? Yo? Sakura, you there?"
No reply.
Without thinking, he deserted his cart and sprinted down the aisles.
"Watch it."
Sakura straightened her back and shot up. Being as hot headed as she, she had to talk back. "Speak for yourself!"
Inner Sakura: DIEE
"Who are you telling to speak...my...if it isn't Haruno Sakura."
"Huh?" Sakura took a closer look at her current opponent and realized it was Hitomi, the chick who created the biggest Sasuke fanclub with Ino before Ino and she became best friends.
Restraining herself from whistling, she had to say Hitomi had turned drop dead gorgeous, not to mention...whore-ish. "How's Sasuke?" she asked casually.
"Fine."
"Don't worry dear... I'm not after your dear Sasuke-kun anymore. Thank god I'm passed that stage. I already got myself a boyfriend." Hitomi snickered and flicked her lustrous black hair.
"Hitomi?"
Both Sakura and Hitomi turned around to find Sasuke who was slightly panting and sweating. "Speak of the devil. If it isn't Sasuke himself. We we're just talking about you."
"You were?" Sasuke flashed both of them a raised eyebrow and walked over to Sakura's side.
"Yup. You're sweet little girlfriend wasn't paying attention and accidentally bumped into me. I then asked how you were and I guess she got a little over protective." She said sweetly.
"What?!" Sakura said coldly and clenched her fist.
Inner Sakura: Liar, liar, pants on fire!! Go home fag.
"What do you want Hitomi?" Sasuke asked in annoyance and sighed. Obviously knowing she was only playing around.
"Nothing." She sang in reply, preparing to leave. "See you both around. I forgive you for not saying sorry Haruno. Mwah."
"That...stupid...brat..." Sakura growled, shooting darts at Hitomi's disappearing back.
"Don't mind her. She's just trying to screw you up." Sasuke answered and examined Sakura to see if there's any injury. "You okay?"
"Yeah. I just fell on my side. No bruises." She smiled.
He nodded and smirked. "Come on hothead. Let's get this crap over with."
After slaving for hours after trying to find five jars of pickle, they finally completed the almost impossible task. Since both of them parked at different spots, they both went to Sakura's car first to unload and stuff as many things as they could into the Mercedes.
"I am...never...doing this again..." Sakura panted and wiped off the sweat on her forward as they finished stuffing all the things that's left in Sasuke's car.
"I'm glad you learned your lesson." He replied sarcastically and cracked his back. Who would've thought grocery shopping would be as tiring as playing basketball.
"Harhar Uchiha. Very funny. You're washing my car when we get back. You lost hehe." She grinned.
"I never said I would wash your car if I lost." He retorted. "Why don't you make me?"
"You really want me to?" Sakura challenged.
"Hellll yeah." He smirked, taking her favourite line.
Sakura smirked back, grabbed Sasuke's shirt, and pulled him towards her until their nose almost touched. "Don't regret making me make you when we get back."
Letting go before both of them lost control, she laughed slightly and left to drive her car back home.
"Hn...annoying."
"Marco."
He smiled and watched as he waited. He didn't have to wait for a long time before a girl with pink hair walked past him and went into her car.
He was almost there. He finally found his target.
"Polo."

Yesh Yesh Yesh. Chappy two. More action later. Sorry for the excess dialogue. Personally I hate excess dialogues, so I don't mind if you say this chapter is a bit boring. Until next time.
You're reviews made me laugh. Really. Go you:)
Ciao for now.
