Damn, I can't believe how long it has been! 4 or 5 months now? Whoa! I seriously have no life anymore, I tell ya! School is such a bastard, just taking over my life like that without permission! HN!

Anyways, I have decided to make one little change in the story and I am going to mention it in this chapter just in case some of you don't read the edited chapters. I've decided to change Naruto's age to 10 months old. I have a little sister (11 months old) and she is so cute, so talkative (baby language. Sometimes I just wonder what she's blabbering on about O_O), so adorable and so freaking annoying! Yeah…Sasuke will be suffering! Suffer Sasuke, Suffer!

Warnings: Beware of the authoress! She has lost her phone and is now grieving over it. Make sure you stay on her good side because you never know what she might do…

The next morning, Sasuke woke up with a throbbing head and to the sound of a wailing Naruto. The Uchiha wore a murderous glare and the first thing that hit him was the smell that seemed to surround the atmosphere and fill up the room. God was it appalling! Instantly, Sasuke's hand flew up to his nose and an accusing glare was cast at Naruto, who for all he was worth, was still wailing at the top of his lungs. Kami! The little brat could probably wake up the dead!

Eyes twitching, Sasuke stood up slowly. He had dark circles under his eyes and he could probably have won the award for bad hair day. Standing there with his hand still covering his nose, Sasuke began to think. He wanted to cover his ears but then his nose would be suffering. He figured his hearing wouldn't be good as it used to be, what with Naruto's voice rising each time and hitting the high notes. It would probably be for the best if he was to go deaf anyways. That way he wouldn't have to listen to the dobe's annoying voice and maybe, just maybe, he might even get some sleep.

Walking up to the little blond, Sasuke stopped and peered down at the crib at Naruto. His eyes were red from crying and his face was tears stained. He looked up at Sasuke whimpering and seeing the displeased look on the Uchiha's face, took off screaming again.

Sasuke sighed and rubbed his temples with his available hand. The dobe was even worse than his usual screaming fan girls! And to think that there could be nothing more annoying than them. He stared down at Naruto for a while, wondering what to do. He knew that he would have to pick him up sooner or later but he didn't want to. There was nothing wrong with it being later. He didn't know how he was going to cope. It hasn't even been two days yet. Maybe prison wouldn't have been such a bad choice after all?

Sasuke's eyes switched from Naruto's face over to his bulging diaper. It didn't take a rocket science to figure out what that evil looking diaper held.

Sasuke had already figure out that the smell was coming from Naruto but if anyone thought he was going to do anything about it, then they were dead wrong and can think again!

"Not happening, dobe."

There was no way he was going to change Naruto's diapers. No way in hell at all! The dobe can go and change his own stinking diapers for all he cares. 'But he's only a baby…' that darned voice again.

"You're not just going to leave him to cry like that, are you?"

Sasuke looked up and towards the door, the familiar voice of Kakashi just barely reaching his ears over the racket Naruto was making.

Sasuke's hand dropped to his side and his eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the figure of his ex-sensei, "And what do you suppose I do then?"

"Picking him up would be a good start, don't you think?" Kakashi replied with a humorless tone to his voice, walking up to the crib. He peered down at Naruto, "And it seems his diaper needs changing as well." He added.

Sasuke's eyes twitched again, his nose sucking in the horrific smell no matter how much he wished he could stop it, and burning his nostrils.

"Don't you think I know that already!" Sasuke retorted, noticing that Naruto's cry was slowly subsiding as Kakashi reached out his hand and gently tickled Naruto's stomach.

"Hmm. I see." Kakashi slowly withdrew his hand and stuffed it into his pocket causing Naruto to start crying again, much to Sasuke's displeasure.

The silver-haired jonin then turned his head and looked directly at Sasuke, earning a questioning look and a glare from the young Uchiha prodigy.

"What?" Sasuke almost spat out, narrowing his eyes ever so slightly. He was not in a good mood and he tried to lower his tone as best he could.

"Well aren't you going to pick him up?" Kakashi asked calmly, picking up the annoyed tone of his ex-student. He was a little surprised and disappointed at how Sasuke had raised his tone at him.

With a disapproving grunt, Sasuke bent over the crib and he carried Naruto out, making sure to hold him at arm distance. Kakashi stood there watching with a bemused expression on his face.

"There. That wasn't so hard."

"Hn."

Sasuke stared at Naruto, still holding him at arm length. The little blond had stopped crying but still had a sad look on his face as he stared back at Sasuke. It was like he could tell when someone liked him or not. And at that moment, he and Sasuke didn't seem to be the best of friends.

Narrowed onyx eyes stared deep into round, big, sad baby-blue eyes that were still slightly red from the tears. Naruto's lower lip was still quivering and Sasuke felt guilty. His eyes soften slightly and he looked away, turning to look at Kakashi.

"What are you doing here anyways?" he asked.

Kakashi blinked and looked at Sasuke, being caught off guard by the question. "And here I thought you'd be pleased to see me," he joked and smiled behind his mask, "I was just about to leave by the way. Just came to check on Naruto and make sure he was alright."

"And why wouldn't he be alright?" Sasuke asked, giving Kakashi a suspicious look. It was not like he was going to hurt Naruto or anything.

Kakashi simply shrugged his shoulders and turned around, heading for the door. "Meh, I don't know. It was an order from Lady Tsunade. "

Sasuke didn't say anything as he followed him out of the bedroom, now holding Naruto close despite the smell. As soon as they were in the living room, Kakashi turned around and looked at the duo.

"Bye Naruto-kun," He smiled, "And smell you later, Sasuke." He chucked, walking up to the front door and opening it. Sasuke just stared at him with a frown. He looked at Naruto and then at Kakashi's retreating back before an idea struck him.

"Is Sakura busy?"

Kakashi stopped and frowned at Sasuke, raising his eyebrow, "Umm…I'm not sure. Why?"

"If she's not busy, can you tell her that I need her. Get her to come as soon as possible."

"Er…sure. No problem." Kakashi walked out and the closed the door behind him, glancing at the ANBU guards surrounding the apartment before continuing on. He went and searched everywhere for the pink-haired kunochi before he spotted her waving bye to Ino ad leaving the flower shop.

"Hey, Sakura," Kakashi called out, making her stop in her tracks and turn around to look at him, "Are you busy?" Sakura shook her head and walked over to him. He told her about Sasuke needing her and the girl almost jumped up with joy.

"He'll just be…" Kakashi paused, sweat-dropping as he watched her race off to meet Sasuke, "…in his new apartment." He shrugged and then walked off to bury his nose in the fourth chapter of the Icha Icha Paradise.


A loud knock sounded through the door and Sasuke opened his eyes slowly. He groaned and sat up on the sofa, not knowing when he had fallen asleep or even closed his eyes.

"Nhhnnmghm." Sasuke frowned and glanced at his right. Naruto stood there, using the sofa to help keep himself upright as he smiled at Sasuke before muttering some more baby nonsense. The Uchiha smiled back and then sighed when the smell hit him again. He stood up and went to open the door.

"Hello, Sasuke." Sakura greeted shyly. She stood at the doorway, her face flushed. She was digging her heels on the ground nervously, smiling at Sasuke. "Kakashi-sensei said you needed me?"

"Yes, I do," Sasuke replied with a yawn, much to Sakura's joy. "You see that dobe over there?" Sakura's eyes moved to where Sasuke was pointing. Naruto was just staring at them, chewing on one of his toys. "He needs changing."

Sakura's smile dropped and she looked back at Sasuke. "I didn't know you were babysitting." She said, glancing back at Naruto. Sasuke just shrugged and stepped aside to let her in. She walked in and went over to Naruto, crouching down to his level. "Hey there, cute one." She smiled and Naruto smiled back.

Sakura reached out her arms and picked him up, frowning, "I see you've been busy." She laughed and tickled his belly. Sasuke closed the door and came behind her, looking over her shoulder and rolling his eyes.

"Can you change him quickly? I don't want to have to evacuate this place because of him." Sasuke said.

Sakura rolled her eyes. "Sure. Get me the baby wipes, a new diaper and a disposal bag." Sasuke nodded and disappeared into the bedroom where he returned with the mentioned items minutes later. He watched as Sakura laid Naruto down and began to change him. His face retorted in disgust when the used diaper was thrown into the disposal bag and decided right there and then, that breakfast or any form of food, would have to be forgotten for the day or so.

"There we go." Sakura concluded, buttoning up Naruto's clothe and picking him up. "All done!" Naruto clapped his hands happily and licked her lips, making Sakura laugh. She turned to find Sasuke close behind her and her face turned red. Sasuke gave her a blank look and then moved away. Sakura picked up the disposal bag with one hand and shoved it towards Sasuke, who took a step back. She sighed and handed him Naruto instead before disappearing outside.

"Why are there so many ANBUs outside the apartment?" Sakura asked curiously after she returned, raising her eyebrows at Sasuke. She knew that there were going to be some ANBUs guarding Sasuke after his return to the village, but she didn't expect there to be so many.

"It's because of him." Sasuke replied bluntly, gesturing towards Naruto. Sakura stared at the little blond for a while before going to sit down next to Sasuke as they both watched the child.

"Whose baby is he, anyways?" Sakura asked, blinking. She'd seen Lady Tsunade holding him in her office two days ago when Sasuke had returned, but she didn't think to ask who the baby was back then.

"It's Naruto." Sasuke replied, sounding a little puzzled himself. He turned to look at Sakura when he heard her laugh.

"Naruto? Yeah right," Sakura laughed again, "Naruto is not cute!" Sasuke smirked and picked up the child when he crawled over to him.

"True," he agreed. "But this really is Naruto." He added in a serious tone. Sakura's smile disappeared and she turned to look at Sasuke, ending up staring at Naruto. The child stared back at her, resting his head on Sasuke's chest. Her eyes widened.

"What happened to him? He's a baby again!" She squealed in shock. Sasuke just gave her a look.

"Long story." He muttered, not really wanting to explain anything to her. It was none of her business anyways.

"Oh…" Sakura said, still staring at Naruto. Sasuke stood up and handed Naruto over to Sakura, ignoring the child's protest and whimpering.

"You don't mind staying for a while, do you?" Sasuke asked, stretching. "I need you to look after Naruto while I go and have a shower." Sakura nodded, smiling at him, her cheeks going red again. Sasuke smiled at her gratefully and then walked off to the bathroom where he wished to wash away all his problems and thoughts.
