Ita-chan: Well, here goes our second chappie, ne? We're on a roll, aren't we, otouto? I'm hyper again. xDD I had brownie mix! XD I'm impatient like dat. Ya know what sucks, otouto?
Sasu-chan: Brownies!^^ What sucks?
Ita-chan: The fact that we don't own Naruto. *pouts*
Sakura walked into the two boys' apartment after work and handed the blonde his letter before sitting down across from him. "Oh, guess what I heard from Sasuke?"
Naruto raised a brow, "And what's that?"
"There's this guy Sasu's crushin' on!" Sakura almost squealed.
"What? Who??" Naruto asked, on the edge of the couch cushion.
Sakura shrugged. "I dunno. Sadly, no matter how hard I pressed, he wouldn't release the guy's name.."
"Well, it is personal, Saku." Gaara said, exiting the bathroom with nothing but a pair of pants on and a towel around his shoulders, his hair still wet.
Naruto quickly left the living room and grabbed a piece of paper from his binder for work and a pen before plopping down in his desk chair.
'Dear Sasuke,
He won't lemme use it. Said something about not wanting me to destroy it like mine. But, I didn't destroy mine! Kyuu and Shukaku did! Gosh, he's sooo unfair to me.
Yeah, it totally did. Scared me. And they wouldn't replace it. Which sucked horribly. Ah...yeah... Kyuu chased Shukaku who ran into the living room and jumped onto the table...which knocked over Gaara's glass of blood red kool-aid which got all over us...and the table, and partially my letter to you... Sorry about that. They are, but they're worth it. Trust me. My parents died when I was real young, so all I have left of them is Kyuu - my father bought him for me..er, well, left a note for my godmother to buy a dog for me when I was fourteen. You wouldn't know it by looking, but Kyuu's ten years old and still acts like a puppy. Aw, c'mon, fish aren't too much of a bother. All you have to do is feed them and make sure their tank is clean! He has...a hamster...?
God, hope you're never on the receiving end! I have fast healing abilities and it still takes me a few days to recover... What?! You'd hit a girl?! Sakura at that?!
Why do you think this is all a waste of time?
Naruto'
Naruto folded it and covered his eyes before walking out of his room and into the living room. "Alright, make sure you both are decent! I'm coming in!"
Gaara rolled his eyes from where he sat on the couch with his arm around Sakura who was curled up beside him. "Nothing went on out here, Naru, you idiot. We've just been talking and cuddling."
Sakura stuck her tongue out at her blonde friend, "Why did it take you so long to write it? It took over two hours!"
Naruto's eyes went wide. "What?! No way!"
"You probably stopped a few times to pet Kyuubi, right?" Gaara asked in that all-knowing voice of his.
Not too much later, Sakura left with Naruto's letter.
~*~Sasuke's POV~*~
Sakura let herself in my house without knocking.
"The hell?" I asked.
"A real friend lets them self in asking where breakfast is."
I sweat dropped. "Whatever. What do you want?"
"Another letter." Sakura winked at me. "Took him a whole two hours to write.....but it's still no more than a page. That baka..." Sakura smiled when she said the last words.
I took the letter and read it. I rolled my eyes at the last bit and fold it up again.
"So who is it?" Sakura asked in her best I-already-know-so-just-spill-it-voice.
I rolled my eyes. "Of course you want to know." I said as I poured tea for us.
"Everyone wants to know. Even Naruto. Did he not write about it?" She asked.
"No."
"Hm, well he did ask who. And Gaara looked curious also..." Sakura trailed off her musings.
Eventually Sakura left, still not able to pry the wanted information out of me and I went to write my reply
'Dear Naruto,
You're parents died when you were young? How young? My parents died, too.....but that was when I was fifteen....then my older brother inherited the family business. And.....it's not fun working for your brother, lets keep it at that. Bleh.
Of course I'd hit Sakura. If she pissed me off to the point where I needed too. Usually I only have to stare people down. If that doesn't work, glare. I've never had to go past glare though....
You know, if you wanna know something you can ask me. Sakura can't get much outta me, surprised she got as much as she did last time around. No matter really. Though, I won't tell you either.
It took you two whole hours to write that last letter? Really? Dobe, that was short. It takes me half an hour to write a three page business review. I swear.......
It would be a waste of time if you didn't write back, dobe.
~Sasuke'
I folded it up and quietly wonder if Sakura's reading these letters before delivering them. I shrugged, not like I really care anyway.
Sasu-chan: Yay!^^ I still gots chocolate!^^ *dances*
Ita-chan: ^_^ I've got McDonald's! I can't eat the brownies 'til tomorrow 'cause I'm taking some to school. We're on fire, ne?
