Part 3

It had been a week after Sasuke moved in and he was true to his words. It was like he wasn't even there. The only sign that he was there was the occasion toilet seat being left up.

"Well that's boring," Ino bluntly said, "Where's the accidental walking in while changing or showering or the accidental brushing while in the small cramped kitchen? You're living with a hot guy, from the sounds of it you might as well be an old cat lady!"

"Hey, watch it," Sakura threatened, "if you want action. Tenten and I could always visit you at work again."

Ino paled, "No thanks. Last time Tenten nearly got me fired."

"Neji wouldn't let that happen now that he's dating Tenten," Sakura corrected, "But it'd be fun to annoy you. We'd buy everything one item at a time, always visiting you. Lovingly and caringly," Sakura added with a mischievious smirk.

Ino wrinkled her nose, "right," muttering then growled when there were loud consecutive thumps coming from the wall, "SHUT UP!" and gave the wall a hard kick.

"What's going on?" Sakura stared shocked at the wall. It seemed like a daily occurance at Ino's annoyance.
"The new neighbor tends to forget that THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE LIVING HERE," yelling towards the wall, "every night, loud thumps and bangs. I don't want know what he's doing but I would wish he would keep it down."

"Then do you want to go to my place and watch some movies?" Sakura suggested, "I got the drama that you've wanted to watch."

"Ok, then," Ino gave the wall one last kick, "Let's go before he reacts and starts yelling."

--

"Eh?" They were in front of Sakura's door, but instead of going inside. They were preoccupied at staring at a package sitting innocently and blankly on Sakura's doorstep.

"You touch it," Sakura told Ino.

"Why me?" Ino stared at horror at Sakura, "What if it's a bomb?"

Sakura head snapped up in confusion and gave Ino a weird look, "Why would some want to bomb me?"

"You're a dentist," Ino pointed out, "Dentist are very evil people. I personally wouldn't mind up blowing up my dentist everytime he pokes at my gums and ask if it hurts. And the worst part is he does it again right after asking. Moron."

"Why are you friends with me again?"

"Because you have nice clothes," Ino replied, pulling out a pencil. After giving it a few taps, she deemed it safe and picked it up, "Come on. Let's see whose trying to bomb you."

"Well, I'm not that smart, but I can definetly say that's no bomb," Ino leaned over Sakura's shoulder to look down into the package filled with rose petals, a letter, and a bouquet of roses.

Sakura dryly laughed, "Thanks for the hint." Lifting the bouquet out, she gave it a sniff, "It's fresh, so it must have been recently delivered."

Ino lifted the box lid, "But there's no address, there's only your name on it."

"Great," Sakura collapsed on the table, "I have a stalker."

"Nope you have a secret admirer," Ino corrected, "Ahh my love. Ever since I set my eyes on you. You have taken my heart captive with your lovely green eyes that shine like emeralds," Ino ran around the table avoiding a red Sakura, "And a figure that rivals the Greek Goddesses. I wish to hold you forever in my arms and kiss you until enterninty," she broke off from the letter, laughing her head off, "This guy is hilarious!"

"Hey," Sakura fumed, "I bet that guy actually took time to write that and you're laughing at him."

"Because this is so stupid," her eyes skimmed down the page and her grin grew even wider, "It gets even better. You have Boobalicious boobs. HA!"

They both fell silent when someone cleared their throat behind them.

-

Sasuke stood behind them with his usual blank expression, "Sorry for bothering you, but may I ask what the commotion is?"

"Ahh," Ino grinned sending an evil look towards Sakura, "Perfect time. Ok, being a guy, tell me how long a guy took to write this," she shoved the letter into his hands, "I'm your neighbor, Ino Yamanaka. I live downstairs in 104."

Sasuke mearly nodded before starting the letter. As they watched, his expression changed slightly and he let out a cough, covering a smirk that Ino, being next to him, saw.

"See," she grinned, "Even he thinks it's funny."

"But there is a sense of danger from this person," Sasuke noted.
"Totally," Ino nodded, "Major freak case. Is it just something about dentist that attracts the freaks?"

Mentally, Sasuke twitched at being called a freak. He was also concerned that this…freak case was after his target. We'll two could play at that game.

-

"Oh shit," was the first sentence out of Sakura's mouth the next morning. She stared at the table in amazement, "What's this?"

"Breakfast," Sasuke blandly told her coming out of the kitchen, "Had time. Off day."

"Do you normally eat this much?" She sniffed at the French Toast. Man, everything smelled so good. Sausage, miso soup, hash browns, eggs benedict, it was such a good idea to get him as a roommate, "How often do you have Off days?"

"Off Week actually," Sasuke corrected adding another plate to the pleathora of others, "Every two months, I get a week off."

"The benefits of being boss, eh?" Sakura looked up from her chair with a smile, "It must be nice."

"Hmmm," was all Sasuke said, but on the inside he was grinning like a fool. Take that freak case. You may only be able to look at her from afar, but you don't live with her, "Help yourself."

"I will," Sakura licked her lips. After just one bite, she moaned in happiness, "This is ssoooo good. If I paid you, would you cook for me everyday?"

"Just consider it a part of being a roommate," he paused at the knocking, "I'll get that."

-

When he opened the door he was quickly dragged out and the door shut behind him, he glared down at the intruder.

"Oh stop that look," Tenten muttered, moving so she couldn't be seen from the window, "Ok, here how it goes. You pretend not to know me and I pretend not to know you. Got it?"

"Why?" He stared suspiciously at her.

"You like her, don't you?"

"Yes."

"You want to beat the admirer, don't you?"

"Yes-" he blinked, "Wait how did you-"

"She called me," Tenten quickly interrupted, "So I'm going to help you, under a few circumstances."

"You want me to be inspiration for your next story?"

Tenten sighed. Was she that apparent? "If you would."
"Did you use me for Angel Bread or something?"

"Angel Bound," Tenten irritatedly corrected, "I would have though you read it since it was based off of you. So are you for it or not?"

He turned to look at the door considering.

Tenten tapped her foot impatiently, "Any day now."

"Fine."

An evil grin grew, "Great, here's what you do."

-

"Are you sure that's safe for him to do?" Neji asked curiously to Tenten who was skipping around the room making breakfast, "That could get him killed or bodily injured."

"Its fine. Besides Sasuke deserves to get injured once in a while for his bad karma," Tenten grinned infront of the stove.

"What about your karma," he muttered.

"Did you say something?" Tenten asked over her shoulder.

"hnn."

They paused when they heard a loud scream.

"Ahh," Tenten grinned, "It's begun.

-

"Sorry. Sorry. Sorry," Sasuke quickly slammed the door shut, "I didn't know you were in there."

Actually he did. Why did Tenten make him do this? But he did get to check out her out, and it was a nice one indeed. He gingerly rubbed a bump on his head. Though the girl threw like a professional pitcher, she was one smokin' babe.

He pulled a list out of his pocket, "Ok, Set one complete, Set two is…"

-

"Argh," Sakura moaned, "Why does my head hurt?"

"I think you drank too much," Sasuke bluntly said.

"Well, whose fault is that! First you walk in on me then you try to get me drunk. What are you doing?"

"Actually, I was just going to give you one drink in apology, but you wanted more."

Tenten knew her friend and her weakness for alcohol drinks. Sakura had instantly fallen for the bait and drank down eight drinks like a sailor.

"Well, don't listen to what I say. Another one!" She slammed the shot glass down. When he didn't move, she growled, "Didn't you hear what I said? Another one!"

"But you-"

"I don't care. Another one!"

He aptly put her in the angry/violent type of drunk…or maybe she was naturally that angry and violent. Either way he was starting to doubt Tenten's plan.

Twenty minutes later

"Another one!"
"…," Sasuke stared at her wide-eyed, "…we're out."

"What?" her head snapped up, "Completely?"

"Completely," he held up a bottle upside down to illustrate.

"Fine!" She suddenly stood up, "Let's go to your bar."

"Don't you have work?" Sasuke quickly went behind her incase she fell over. The only signs of being drunk was slight weaving and a nice blush.

"Nope," she laughed, creeping him out slightly at the insanity in it, "I'm totally free today." She froze and turned with a look that scared him down to his bones, "Let's make smores!"

-

Tenten next door grinned when sounds were heard from next door. Everything was working according to plan.
