Ch 3: The Power of Youth!

Even after the few minutes she was in her room, her face betrayed her; still indicating that she was still embarrassed with Kakashi's little display. Sasuke never seen Sakura so red, of course, she was violated and he remembered one stupid girl in particularly who was once part of his most previous team would attack him in his sleep. He inwardly shuddered. "Are you going to talk or what?" Sakura asked, still avoiding his gaze.

"What exactly happened while I was gone?"

Sakura blinked, though still not looking at him. "Didn't Lee tell you?"

"…Yeah."

"Then you already know. Don't try to change the subject." She growled quietly. "Talk before I go back into my room."

"What do you want me to do?" the medic finally looked at him, though he was looking elsewhere, anywhere to avoid her emerald eyes – obviously not wanting any part in this.

"So you're going to help after you ditched me?" he didn't answer. "Are you sick?" Sakura placed her hand on his forehead and he actually glared at her though he never pushed her hand away.

"No…"

She withdrew her hand, "I think you are."

"What do you want me to do?" he asked again, he never liked repeating himself.

"You could help me take care of them."

"And how would I do that?"

Sakura sighed, "Don't men know how to do anything?" she mumbled, but loud enough for Sasuke to hear. "Well, you could help me out by going to the store and picking up a couple things for me?" she suggested.

"Shopping? Only women do that." Sasuke looked at her as if she had lost her mind.

"Or you could stay here with them while I have some quality time and you see what I've went through?"

"I think I'll pass."

"That's what I thought, and I don't trust you with children. These may be Kakashi and Naruto, but you can't beat them or any other child who makes you angry."

"So what am I going shopping for?" Sasuke asked, getting what she was saying.

"Here's the list." She grabbed his hand and placed a folded piece of paper in it, however she didn't let go immediately. "Don't take too long." Sasuke was looking at her pleading face. "Not with Kakashi, I can't take it." Then she released his hand as she walked passed him as he watched her tend to the pervert and noodle brain before he went to the store.

-s-

Sasuke's eyes were wide as he looked at what was one of the items on the list.

Pull ups

Some women were passing by, watching him. The Uchiha was able to hear their conversation. "He must be a new father. Look at him, shopping for diapers helping out the Mrs.'s." One woman said as if going back on a memory and Sasuke's eyes began twitching uncontrollably. "I remember my first child, my husband was such a pain and I had to hunt him down…" the women left. Thank the heavens!

He had currently been staring at the list to see if he really had to buy these for twenty minutes. After looking at it more than fifty million times he understood that pull ups were required. Though, he had no idea what kind Sakura wanted. Typical, trust a man to buy baby supplies without a woman's assistance. Or at least an Uchiha. Another three minutes of grabbing and placing them back and a woman appeared in the aisle, going about her business. "Which ones?"

She looked at him; she was about in her mid twenties. Dark brown hair rested on her shoulders and dark eyes looking at him curiously. "What?"

"Which ones would be best?" Sasuke asked, staring at the pull ups, embarrassed he was shopping for baby things when that was reserved for women and actually asking for help (oh how wrong you are, Sasuke).

The woman walked up beside him to help, "What's the age?"

"Two." He answered.

"Helping your wife or someone? These ones would be best for your two year old." She reached down and grabbed the best for 'Naruto' and handed them to him. "Well, there you are." She turned to leave but spun on her heel as she remembered something. "Oh, and that two year old should be ready to be potty trained."

"It's my assignment," Sasuke confessed, monotonously.

"Then good luck on your assignment," the woman waved.

"There's my ever eternal rivals student." Someone said and Sasuke inwardly cringed when he recognized the voice. "Sasuke, how are you?" a large hand was heavily placed on the Uchiha's shoulder.

"I told you Gai-sensei that he and most beautiful Sakura are on an assignment to baby-sit Kakashi and Naruto. They are both handfuls and Sasuke has ditched the most beautiful Sakura alone again. That is most unyouthful of you, Sasuke."

"I agree with you Lee, most very unyouthful." Gai relocated his hand from Sasuke's shoulder to his precious student. "What has my eternal rival been teaching you?"

"I'm shopping for Sakura." Sasuke answered, flashing them the list before turning to leave.

"Ah, pull ups, a youthful time indeed. I can recall when that was once a part of my life." Gai commented as he seen the items in Sasuke's hands. "Lee and I will assist you with your shopping duty for the Mrs.'s. I also want to see how my greatest rival is." The dark haired boy grunted inwardly.

'Please no.'

"Gai-sensei," Lee started, "what you see may shock you."

"Nonsense Lee," the older version of Lee said. "There is a time when every man must realize and live the true meaning of youth."

"That is so true, Gai-sensei."

"Lee."

"Gai-sensei."

"Lee."

'I better get out of here before I see more than I want to.' Sasuke thought, taking quick but silent steps away from the pair in spandex.

"You are not thinking of leaving us now are you, ever youthful student of Kakashi?"

"Hn." The two shrugged and walked after him. Sasuke looked at the list for the next thing he needed.

Ramen, for Naruto of course

Sasuke had grabbed a cart and filled it full for his ramen-loving best friend turned two year old. 'How can he grow up on this? Next item.'

Books, for Kakashi, for kids

He headed for the book area and found some of Kakashi's ever loved books. "So what are we shopping for now?" Lee interrupted Sasuke's line of thought.

"Books."

"For?"

"Kakashi."

"These ones will go nicely for my very youthful rival." Gai placed a pile of easy-read books. That say, See Jane run.

'At least they're better than his porn.' The Uchiha thought, shuddering.

Rubber ducky

'What the…' Sasuke just ignored it and found what he was shopping for. 'Next time I'll stay with the two and Sakura can go shopping.'

"Shaving cream?"

Sasuke looked over his shoulders to see Lee and Gai staring at the list he was holding, he looked down.

Shaving cream

"What does dear Sakura need shaving cream for?" Lee asked his teacher.

"Well, Lee there comes a time when… I have no idea." The man answered truthfully and Sasuke sweat dropped.

"That's all." Both looked at the dark haired Uchiha. "If you're coming to see Kakashi and Sakura again, you had better keep up." Sasuke reached the counter and unloaded his things. The girl was around his age and blushing like mad as she checked his things through the scanner. 'Stupid women.' He thought, as he waited for her to give him his total, he paid and left. Lee and Gai were helping him carry some of the bags as they headed for Sakura's apartment, they were both making bets about how many laps they would do if they lost to get to the apartment first.

The door opened and Sakura seemed relieved as she gave one of her bright smiles. "Finally you're back. Did you get everything I had on the list? Oh, Gai and Lee." She grabbed a couple bags from Sasuke. The three teens jumped when they heard bags drop to the ground and turned to see Gai was the cause.

"My most eternal rival has become as youthful as a steed. You are looking fantastic Kakashi." He struck his pose with his thumbs up and grinned, his white teeth were nearly blinding Sasuke and Sakura because they weren't used to the shine like Lee, who was squealing. Kakashi sweat dropped.

"Blast Kakashi, that means that you have surpassed me in youthfulness and I am nothing more than an old geezer. That makes our score 107-106." His face fell and Lee wasn't liking this.

"Gai-sensei, you are as old as you feel. You are a stud in my book."

"Thanks, Lee." Gai said between anime tears. "That means a lot to me. Lee."

"Gai-sensei."

"Lee."

"This is awkward," Sakura whispered to Sasuke, "let's regroup in the kitchen." All he could do was nod and follow her carrying every bag that had been brought by the three.

Once out of sight of the two spandex clad look-alikes, they released a sigh. "What took you so long?"

"I didn't know what kind you wanted," he tossed the pull ups to her.

"I didn't really care." Sakura grabbed the bags of ramen. "Uh, that was more ramen than I was expecting."

"Have you forgotten that this is Naruto?" the boy smirked at her.

"Are you actually smirking?" Sakura asked.

"Maybe…"

"You should do that or smile more," the pink haired medic commented, placing the ramen in her cabinets, "it really makes you seem more human. And less like someone else."

"And who is this someone else you are referring to?" Sasuke asked, his tone held annoyance and a want to know.

"Forget I said it."

"I'm not going to until I know who you're referring to." He answered looking at her – she still had her back to him as she put more ramen away. Sakura wasn't going to answer and it was annoying him to no end. The Uchiha stopped her by gripping onto her wrist, though it seemed as if she expected him to do that, seeing as how she didn't stop to look at him. He released her, his voice still demanding as he watched her continue what she was doing, unfazed with his actions. "Tell me."

"Why should I have to tell you anything?" she asked. "It's not like you'd return the favor or anything." This time she turned around and started to walk passed without a glance at him. He gripped her upper arm, "Let me go." She sneered.

"Tell me."

"Or…?" she inquired, the expression on her face was pained as she avoided his dark gaze. "Are you going to knock me out? I don't have any reason to explain to you." She then forced her arm out of his grip easily as she walked toward the books Sasuke had gotten for their ever perverted sensei.

"Kakashi!" Gai's voice made Sasuke and Sakura perk up their heads and forget about the little answer Sasuke was trying to pry out of Sakura. Both rushed into the living room. "Kakashi, my rival throughout our youthfulness has gone so low as to take his female students undergarments and flashed them to me. What a sick thing to do with ones youth! I thought you would have planned better Kakashi." Gai was shaking his head to get the mental image out of his head. Kakashi, again, had Sakura's under clothes in his hands.

"They still compliment your skin ton- Ow!" the copy-nin said as his student hit him on the head as she again, yanked her belongings out of his hands as he again pinched her again resulting her to run off and again slammed her door shut.

"Ah!" Gai cried. "All of his youthfulness… wasted… on such unyouthful things."

"I told you that what you see may shock you… and my beautiful Sakura has been attacked yet again in my presence. I think we should have a man to man talk with him."

"Good idea, Lee."

"You guys go. I'll talk to him." Both turned to see Sasuke glaring at the boy.

"You sure Sasuke?"

"Go!" he growled, it made the two and Kakashi gulp.

'Stupid Sharingan, maybe this life or death situation will help me out.' Kakashi thought, trying to keep his cool.

"My ever youthful rival, you had better sprout your youthfulness-" Sasuke slammed the door in his face and returned his attention to the five year old.

"What?"

"You know what?" he glared.

"Hehe, busted!" a small Naruto laughed and Sasuke glared at him, causing him to instantly stop and jump off the couch. "Sakwa!" he ran for Sakura's room. The door opened quickly and closed.

Sasuke's dark stare was back to the small silver haired boy. "Why do you keep touching her?"

Kakashi shrugged, "I donno."

"That's not a valid answer."

"Why do you want to know?"

"I'm the one asking questions."

"Do you like her?"

Teeth were visible under the boys' lips. "That has nothing to do with this."

"Do you love her?"

"That's not relevant."

"Whatever."

"Why were you touching Sakura?"

"My, my Sasuke your so protective of her all a sudden. You can't tell me there's nothing going on in that head of your."

"Touch her again and I'll break your arms." Sasuke promised.

"Whatever."

Sasuke was again at Sakura's bedroom door, though this time he didn't have to knock as she was walking out with Naruto again in her arms. Both seemed happy with the smiles that graced their faces. "He won't touch you again." Sasuke said leaving for the living room.

"Huh?" her eyebrows knitted in confusion.

The Sharingan user looked over his shoulder, "Kakashi won't touch you anymore."

"You didn't threaten him did you?" she sounded as if in panic.

"Just talked," as he turned around and continued on his way.

"Sasuke?" Sasuke stopped, back toward her. "Thanks." He could tell that she was smiling and that she was relieved that he at least cared a small amount about her. "Also… I have a question to ask you. Would you potty train Naruto?" Sasuke looked back, he remembered the woman who had helped him pick out the pull ups. "Since you're a guy and all, I think it would be best if you train him."

Sakura could see the hesitation as he didn't answer. "Forget-"

"Fine." He grabbed Naruto – much to his discomfort who latched onto him without any sign of letting go. He was still stained with noodles.

"Sasuke!" he cried happily, Sakura smiled.

"He's also happy as a two year old, though this is very awkward."

Sasuke nodded, "Kakashi!" he called, the boy appeared a few seconds later.

"I didn't touch her…" he defended himself.

"You're coming with me…"

The small copy-nin signed and followed Sasuke while Naruto clung to him and Sakura watched with admiration another smile finding its way to her face. 'Sasuke can be sweet when he wants to be.' She giggled. 'He's a daddy in the making.'

-s-

In the bathroom, Sasuke lifted up the toilet seat. Kakashi looked from the toilet to the sixteen year old Sasuke. "You have got to be kidding…"

"Now!" Sasuke ordered.

"I already know how to use this thing. Now can I go back down to the living room with Sakura?" the Uchiha narrowed his eyes when Sakura was mentioned. "I promise not to try anything."

"No!"

"You emotionless love-struck hormone teenage boy…" Kakashi started mumbling, crossing his arms. Sasuke was too busy trying to pry Naruto off of him.

"Let go of me, Naruto." Sasuke said as patiently as he could.

"Sasuke!" the boy again exclaimed his name excitedly.

The dark haired boy growled as he finally pulled the blondes clamped hands off and stood him up to take care of his business. "Go."

"How?" asked an innocent Naruto.

"Aim."

"Aim what?"

"Aim your-" Sasuke stopped as Sakura walked into the small bathroom, covering a snicker with her hand.

"You really don't know what you're doing, do you?"

"I do to. I'm a guy, remember?"

"Right." She stopped beside Sasuke – who happened to see Kakashi with a twinkle in his eye get ready for number three, or four, he couldn't remember. A growl emanated from Sasuke's throat and Kakashi stopped, but Sakura was confused as she looked at him. "What?"

"Nothing." He watched her – and Kakashi at the corner of his eye – as she helped Naruto take off his pants and placed him on the toilet.

"Anytime you have to go potty you go in here, ok?" Naruto nodded wildly. "And this is the only time I'll see you like this, when you're this young." She looked at Kakashi. "You can go watch TV or read the books Sasuke picked up for you."

"Fine." The young copy-nin left.

"I'll teach you how to give a child a bath." Sakura told Sasuke – who lowered his head in defeat.

'This sucks…'
