Chapter 4

Hn, good question, neither one of our apartments are big enough to house three people." Sasuke said as there food was served.

"Well we can't afford to buy a house just for this occasion. We don't even know how long we'll be living together." Sakura said and gave a sad look over to Tsuki who was oblivious to the conversation. Since the food was brought out, she had been curiously poking it with her chopsticks.

This caused Sakura to giggle at the poor child. "Try it, it's really good. I promise." The pink haired ninja told the child as she began to demonstrate, picking up her chopsticks and taking a bite.

The poor girl looked scared at first, but gently took a bite anyway. Her scared expression soon turned to an excited on. "This is the best food I've ever tasted!'' She exclaimed as she began to woof it down Naruto style.

"Oh no, we've got another Naruto." Sakura turned to Sasuke and laughed.

Sasuke smirked "Let's just hope she doesn't start wearing orange jumpsuits." They both mentally cringed, as the image of Naruto and Tsuki dressed alike scarfing down fifteen bowls of ramen popped into their heads.

"Can I have more?" Tsuki asked holding out her bowl.

"Sure" Sakura said as Ayame took the bowl from the child and replaced it with a full one.

"So have you thought of a place to stay yet?" She asked her partner as she took another bite of her ramen.

"How about the Uchiha Mansion, it's fully repaired and there's plenty of room for all of us. I had been planing to permanently move back into it anyway." Sasuke replied.

"I forgot about that, it's perfect." The pink haired medic stated as she finished her last little bit of ramen.

"Ugh I'm stuffed, can we go home now?" The child asked, pushing her empty bowl as far away as possible.

"Sure, but we have to make a few stops along the way, alright?" Sakura said getting up from the stool. The other two followed and the girl gave her a nod.

"First we have to get you some new cloths, then we have to stop at both of our apartments to get our things, and I guess sinse we've already eaten we can save the grocery shopping for tomorrow." She finished and looked to Sasuke who gave her an approving nod.


Shopping for her cloths was easy, they got out pretty quick and Tsuki was on her best behavior. It's was the walk home that was difficult. They ran into several of their teammates who either asked them 'Where the hell did they get the kid?' or 'When the hell did they have a kid?'.

It took a while but they finally made it to their new home. It was dark and all of them were ready for bed.

"Finally, peace." Sakura said as she walked through the door. The mini village was beautiful, little houses all connected, with the Uchiha symbol everywhere. They were staying in one of the smaller houses, which wasn't really that small.

The door they entered, lead to a big mahogany style living room, complete with furnisher. To the right was a kitchen with appliances and a table and chair set. Where the living room and kitchen separated was a staircase, leading to three bedrooms and a bathroom.

"Alright go pick your room." She told Tsuki as she handed her the two bags of cloths.

Tsuki's eyes widened in excitement and ran up the stairs as fast as her little legs would take her. Sakura then walked over to the couch, sitting her stuff on the floor, she sat down on the comfy cushions. Sasuke did the same and sat down next to her.

"So how long has it been since you've been here?" Sakura said looking over at her raven haired friend.

He was silent at first as she patiently waited for a response. "This is the first time since the repairs were made."

She gave him a sad smile. "Are you ok with being here? I mean I know this place bring back a lot of unwanted memories for you."

He looked at her sincerely "I'll be ok, I need to get used to this place anyway."

"Ok but if you ever need anything I'll be here, alright." She finished with a smile.

He smiled back softly at her, a smile only she has ever seen, and gave her a small nod.

"So do you think we should take Tsuki grocery shopping with us tomorrow?" Sakura asked as she changed the subject.

"No, I think we should let her sleep in. She's had a rough day." Sasuke answered glancing at the stairs.

Sakura then started to chuckle evilly.

Sasuke gave her a smirk. "What are you thinking?"

"I think we should send an early morning message to Kakashi telling him we need a babysitter. Let's see how long he takes to get here when he thinks we've had a kid." She said with an evil grin.

"You're a genus." He complemented.

"I know" she replied with a triumphant smile, which made them both chuckle.

"Alright, let's go see what happened to Tsuki. She's been up there for a while now." Sakura said getting up. She picked up her things and headed for the stairs, with Sasuke close behind.

Sakura stopped at the first door she came to and looked inside. There she found the girl curled up on the bed fast asleep. She looked over to Sasuke who just stepped into the doorframe next to her.

"She must have been exhausted. I don't even think she went into the other rooms." Looking down the hall at the other doors, this was the only one open.

"Are the blankets in the closet?" She asked setting her bags down.

"They should be." He replied as he sat his bags next to hers.

Sakura walked over to the closet and pulled out a pillow and blanket. She draped the blanked over the sleeping child and put the pillow under her head. Sasuke shut the closet door behind her, and then walked over to the bedside where she was standing.

"She's had a hard life up until now. Let's hope it only gets easier from here." He said looking at the small child.

"Yeah" Sakura replied as they both headed out the door, closing it softly behind them.

"I guess I'll take the one on the right." Sakura said as they walked further down the hall. The first door on the right was Tsuki's room across from it was the bathroom. Then Sakura's room was the next one down from Tsuki's with Sasuke's room across from it.

"That's fine with me." Sasuke replied.

They both walked to their respected doors and turned their heads to face each other and Onyx met Emerald.

"Goodnight, Sasuke."

"Goodnight, Sakura."

They then turned into their rooms and slowly shut the door behind them.


The next morning Sakura and Sasuke woke up early and met in the living room. Sakura took out a pin and paper while Sasuke summoned a bird.

"All right how does this sound 'Kakashi, Sasuke and I need a babysitter while we go grocery shopping and we were hoping our favorite Sensei would do us this tiny favor, please. With Love Sakura and Sasuke. P.S. we're staying at the Uchiha Mansion. It's the first house you come to on the right side.'" Sakura read the note she just scribbled to Sasuke.

"Sounds good to me." He replied then took the note and placed it on the bird's leg.

The bird the quickly flew out the window and headed for its destination.

"It will only take the bird a few minutes to get to Kakashi's house from here." Sakura yawned then leaned back into the couch. Sasuke did the same and closed his eyes.

A few minutes past by and both were on the brink of falling back to sleep when they heard a loud bang. Both shot up and looked to where the sound had came from. There, standing at the door, was a panting Kakashi. Apparently he had been running.

"When did you have a kid?" He asked breathing heavily.

"We didn't." Sakura said giggling.

Kakashi composed himself and gave her a sad look

"You lied to me." He said like he was about to cry.

"No, we didn't lie to you, we really do need a babysitter, but she doesn't belong to us." Sakura said still laughing at the man's expression.

"Come sit, we'll explain." She added.

Sasuke sighed sitting back down on the couch, while Sakura took her seat next to him and Kakashi sat in the chair, and they explained their story for the hundredth time.


After their explanation the two left Kakashi with the sleeping child as they went shopping. When they arrived at the store Sasuke grabbed a shopping cart while Sakura began to load it with all the things she thought they would need., including ramen since the girl took such a strong liking to it.

"Sasuke, the academy term starts in a few weeks, should we enroll her?" Sakura asked as she picked out a box of cereal and placed it in the cart.

"I don't see why not, going to the academy doesn't make you a ninja. She can decide once she graduates whither or not she wants that lifestyle." Sasuke said pushing the cart further down the aisle.


The sun shining in from the window is what Tsuki awoken to. She sat up and stretched. She looked around the room then remembered were she was. She got up as her stomach growled. She walked out the door wondering where her new parents were.

She walked across the hall and opened the door to the bathroom and looked inside. Nope, not there. She then walked further down the hall to the next door. Nope, they weren't there either. Then she walked across the hall and into the last room. Nope, where were they? She asked herself walking to the stairs.

She slowly walked down the staircase to the living room when she saw a silver haired man sitting in the couch reading a book. She was confused. She didn't remember meeting him last night. Who was he?

He looked over to her and smiled under his mask. "Hello there, my name is Kakashi. I'm a friend of Sakura and Sasuke's. They went to buy groceries and will be back shortly." He said as if reading her mind.

"Hi my names Tsuki Kurokage, nice to meet you." She smiled back and went to sit on the couch.

"So, are you a ninja like Sakura and Sasuke?" She asked looking at the strange man.

"Yes in fact I was their teacher when they were younger." He said with pride.

The girl's eyes got wide "Wow that's so cool. Man, you must me old." She said earnestly, giving him a toothy grin.

Kakashi sweat dropped anime style. "I'm not that old" he said with frown.


Alright, there it is. It's a little short but I wanted to get it up quickly because I'm not sure if I will be able to work on it any this week.
