CHAPTER FO-O-OUR
Disclaimer: Naruto ish not mine
( RD-CHAN HOKAGE )
"Is that the Uchiha?"
"That girl got a good catch."
"This is not happening! My Sasuke-kun will never cheat on me!"
Sakura didn't miss any whispers surrounding them both, thanks to her cat ears that can pick up sounds within 50 feet away. But what scared her while they walked were the stares of some girls. It looked as though they wanted to rip her into pieces, but some, especially the elderly looked pleased. She gave them a smile, while Sasuke ignored them completely. He knew what this means, rumors. And what's worse are the fan girls who will be enraged by now.
"Sasuke-kun, why are they staring at us?" she tightened her grip on Sasuke's arm, hiding her face as she saw the piercing glare of the monsters aka fan girls.
"Just ignore them Sakura." Came his reply, but the girl still bothered him.
"I can't. They want to kill me with their eyes." She pointed to one girl who had a kunai in her hand, ready to stab Sakura but Sasuke scared off the girl with his Sharingan. He pulled her hard, and heard a yelp from the girl, scooped Sakura and vanished into thin air leaving the people astonished at his action.
Hokage Tower.
Chuckle.
A woman looking young in her fifties sat with a small cup of sake in hand smirked smugly to herself as she devoured her favorite beverage freely without the disturbance from her assistant.
"Ahh.. heaven." She inhaled the intoxicating scent of her liquor and brought it to her lips, only to be interrupted by a knock on her door. She cursed and swiftly hid the bottle, removing all things that will be of evidence she had been drinking again. Another knock was heard; clearing her throat, she said in a firm voice, "Come in."
The young Uchiha entered with an emotionless face but there's something.
"Am I just drunk or I can really see you, Uchiha Sasuke, carrying a girl?" the blonde woman stared at the man before her with hazel eyes widening at the sight before her. Never in her life had she seen the sole Uchiha survivor who's been secretly accused as gay, with a girl. This is big news!
"It's just your imagination, Tsunade." He replied rolling his eyes. Sensing that Sakura wanted to be put down, he obliged. She hid behind him, staring timidly at the woman before her. There was only one thing that caught Sakura's attention the moment she entered her office. Not her young looking face despite that she's already fifty, but those big thang. She gulped.
"Who is she?" she asked, eyes turning towards the green-eyed girl who quickly looked at Sasuke, avoiding her eyes.
"Aa. Some girl I found last night."
Tsunade grinned. "You telling me you got her pregnant?"
Sakura blushed crimson red while Sasuke's eyebrow twitched. She got him wrong. The hokage thought Sakura was some random girl he picked up from a club and did her last night, and now, he came here to announce what he did. Wrong.
"No."
"Then what are you doing-" Tsunade didn't finish her sentence when she saw something swishing from side to side behind Sakura. "What's that!" she stood up and demanded for an answer, staring at Sasuke.
"Oops." Sakura grinned sheepishly at the Uchiha and Tsunade. It wasn't her fault her cat tail didn't feel comfortable being rolled inside her dress.
"This is Haruno Sakura, supposed princess of the Spring Country. Found her escaping from an enemy last night. She's under some animal jutsu causing her to have animal senses." Sasuke started. Tsunade raised an eyebrow, gesturing to tell her more. "Where's the enemy?"
"He burned himself when I asked him where he came from." He explained.
"You did mention she's a princess right?"
"Yes."
"You're Seiichi's daughter?"
"Hai."
She's alive. Tsunade thought, scanning the girl. "I thought no one survived the surprised attack from an unknown group of Shinobi." The hokage said, looking at Sakura.
"The only survivors are me and Xhaina-san. I suppose you are my father's acquaintance, Lady Tsunade?" Sakura said, surprising Sasuke with her formality. She should be acting this way too a while ago. He thought listening as she repeated her story in the bathroom.
"Do you know who's after you?" Tsunade asked.
"I'm not quite sure, but Xhaina-chan told me, his name is Yoshio." The girl answered, shrugging.
"I see, never heard of him either." The hokage replied as she racked her brain searching for the name Yoshio.
" So I guess it's time for me to help him back." Tsunade whispered, remembering the days when Seiichi would watch her gamble and help her when she's in trouble. Her gaze went to the two people, and sighed, making her decision.
"I'll let you stay here, Sakura and since your father had really helped me a lot back then, I have to pay him back. Sasuke Uchiha, you'll be in charge of Sakura until her captors are dead. I'll be assigning some ANBU squads to investigate the Spring Country case and Yoshio's profile while you take care of our little princess here. Are we clear?" The blonde tried her best not to smile evilly in front of the now fuming Uchiha. Behind those bangs that covered his face, Tsunade was damn right sure he wanted to burn her with his Amaterasu or charge her with a screeching Chidori. Heh. In his dreams.
"Sasuke-kun?" the girl tugged Sasuke's sleeve waiting silently for his response.
"Dismissed." She pretended to work on some papers, glancing at the still Uchiha, his fists clenching tightly on his side.
"Sasuke-kun?"
"Come on." He gently dragged her out of the room and went outside to cool off his burning mind. He knew she was going to do this, but he never thought it could make him this furious!
On the other hand, Sakura felt worried at Sasuke's actions. He was too quiet for his own good. They both walked on the streets and she felt her stomach call out to her but was scared to disturb Sasuke. The smell of onigiri and dango mesmerized her nostrils, biting her lip as she wanted to pounce the nearby shop with tasty food.
Sasuke noticed Sakura eyeing something beside him, emerald orbs glued to one particular thing. He followed her gaze and saw a food stall.
"I'm hungry." She mumbled, when they stopped in front of the shop. Sasuke looked at her then sighed, remembering she hasn't eaten anything yet.
Waiting for their orders, Sakura couldn't help but watch the man in front of her intently like she was studying him. He was facing the other side watching people passing by, his eyes glaring from time to time. Sensing her stare, he surprised her when he looked at her with annoyed eyes. "What?"
"Is it wrong to stare?" she asked innocently, blinking twice.
"Look at something else." He closed his eyes and waited.
The waitress came a few minutes later, winking at Sasuke before going. Sakura awed at the delicious-looking onigiri and dango he bought for her, eyeing them possessively. She thanked Sasuke and began to munch the food, savoring the taste she missed for a long time. She completely ignored the man before her; Sasuke watched her with an amused expression, she was like a child being treated to her favorite restaurant. Sipping his tea, he glanced at the other customers searching for someone he is familiar with so he can quickly hide their presence before chaos ensues. His friends will be surely shocked to see him babysitting a half human cat which is a female to be precise.
"Sasuke-kun," he faced her, "where do we go next?" she nibbled on her rice ball, staring at him curiously.
"You'll see." Was what he replied, "just hurry up." He added, finishing his tea.
"Ne, why are you in a hurry?"
Pumping more chakra to his feet, his pace increased causing the girl behind him to tighten her hug on him. They were currently jumping from tree to tree.
"Hn." He heard her sigh, her chin resting on his shoulder. He went a little farther until they reached their destination. Sakura gasped at the scenery marveling the green field. An area caught her attention where flowers swayed along with the wind, exciting her. Sasuke on the other hand focused on the dummies he'll be killing later after he made sure Sakura's safe.
"Sugoi…" she mumbled, gesturing Sasuke to set her down. "Ne, can I go there?" she pointed the flower fields, in which he predicted and nodded. "Just go out and play." He told her fishing out a kunai.
"Gee, you're treating me like I'm five years old." She whined, pouting at him. He only rolled his eyes and turned, walking the opposite direction. Sakura did the same, heading towards the fields. The girl admired the colorful sight, picking some flowers like when she was a little kid. Glancing on the other side, where Sasuke was busily hitting targets perfectly, she wondered what's to come when her enemies will finally reveal themselves.
She hummed softly to herself, while picking a daisy until something caught her attention. Her cat senses immediately became alerted, ears perking up. She quietly crawled, following the sound of crunching leaves. Sensing her prey is just a few inches away from her, she grinned showing her baby fangs. Not long after, her instinct told her to pounce and…
"Crap."
"Mew?"
She saw the sky, but there was yellow and orange. She focused her gaze on the something that was pushing her down and gasped. There was a man above her! With her voice suddenly gone, all she could do was watch the blond man on top of her. Heart punching loudly inside her chest, Sakura didn't know what to do, she was trapped below him. Her face turned into the shade of red, as she fearfully gazed at the blond who had whiskers on both sides of his cheek. She needed Sasuke, now.
"Uhm… sorry?"
"KYAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Sling!
He missed the target but that didn't mattered, Sakura!
"Get off me, pervert!" she cried, pushing him away. She punched and kicked him but to her dismay, he dodged all of them causing her to panic more. She felt her hands being placed on top her head and legs secured by his. "Hey watch it! I'm not what you think!" she squirmed, ignoring his statement; she just wanted to get off this position!
"No! Just get off me! Onegai!" she was close to tears, as the blond placed more pressure to his grip on her.
"Stop movin-"
"What do you think you're doing moron?"
Both people stop moving. The voice sounded like Satan had appeared, venomous and threatening. The person easily grabbed the collar of the blond and threw him harshly, glaring hard, one that can make all men pee on their pants.
"S-sasuke-kun!" she blinked away her tears and rushed towards her savior, hugging him tightly. She hid behind him, when they head towards the groaning blond, continuously rubbing his booboo.
"What the hell were you doing?"
Upon seeing Sasuke, the blond was sure his soul had left his body the moment their eyes made contact. With eyes that seem to burn a hole in his body and that dark, dark aura that only the king of demons can unleash, Naruto had come face to face with the God of Lucifer.
"I-I accidentally p-poun- err, trip on her. I-I w-was looking for… my kunai… w-when i-I felt her strange ch-chakra!" he stuttered, sweating like a waterfalls.
"Hn." He ignored his friend who continuously begged for his life and faced the frightened girl behind him. "You okay now?" she nodded and looked at the begging ninja.
"Get up, Naruto."
"Y-you know him?" Sakura asked.
"He's my teammate and unfortunately, my friend." He stated the last word in disgust, catching Naruto's attention.
"Why you- wait! You know each other?" His azure eyes widened as he saw the Uchiha Sasuke with a girl who is currently hugging him.
"Hn."
"What the fuck? All these times I thought you were gay, but now you've proven me wrong bastard! Congratulations!"
"Shut up, dobe. She's just my charge." He ignored the extended hand and began to walk off, with Sakura trailing behind him.
"OI SASUKE-TEME! You haven't introduced her to me yet!" he yelled while chasing the two.
"Haruno Sakura." The girl answered, as he reached them. Her cat ears flickered; Naruto gasped in surprise. "Y-you're a cat?"
"Not really, just stuck in a jutsu." Erasing the scene a while ago, Sakura felt comfortable with Naruto, giggling at his antics. He was always surprised.
"So Sakura-chan, what can you say about Sasuke-teme?" Naruto asked, grinning. He glanced at the Uchiha who seemed to ignore their conversation.
"Arrogant."
"HA! SAKURA-CHAN THINKS YOUR ARROGANT SASUKE-TEME!" the Kyuubi vessel shouted really loud. Sasuke turned to glare at Naruto while Sakura clutched her cat ears.
"You are so dead Uzumaki Naruto."
"What? I was-"
The ground shook. Naruto smiled sheepishly at Sasuke finally getting what he meant. He remembered that putting Sasuke and a random girl's name in a sentence is a very, very bad word. Sakura's ear twitched, getting some signals from a huge mass of incoming creatures she can't identify yet. She tugged at Sasuke's shirt, who growled in annoyance. Pissed off to the max.
"You fucking idiot!"
"I-
SASUKEEEEEEEE-KUUUUUUUUUN!
"Dobe?"
"THAT WASN'T ME!"
From the horizon of the training field, the place was slowly getting covered by a huge amount of creatures that were screeching in their high pitched voice.
"Holy shit Teme. My fan girl radar says that there a LOT of bitches coming this way."
"Get on my back Sakura." She hesitantly climbed behind him and felt his hands secure her legs tightly. "Hold on to me tightly" Sakura nodded and slowly wrapped her arms around his chest, the signals getting closer towards them making her nervous.
"You guys done? Coz if we stayed any longer those animals will kill us!" Naruto saw the whole gentle Sasuke did which was unbelievable. This girl was indeed something.
WHO'S THE BITCH SASUKE-KUN?
YOUR MINE ALONE SASUKE-KUN!
Both men looked at each other before disappearing in sight. Their speed was almost inhuman; Sakura tightened her hold on Sasuke afraid she'd fall. She felt their presence fade slowly. Puzzled why Sasuke was running away from them, she asked, "Sasuke-kun, why are you running away from them?"
"I'll explain it later. We need to hide first."
"Teme! There's a hidden cave here."
Naruto increased his speed, leading Sasuke towards his secret hideout. They quickly hid their chakras and waited till the fan girls are surely gone. The ground shook like an earthquake was coming, stones of all sizes except the big ones bounced on the ground. Sasuke had to cover Sakura's mouth, knowing a simple squeak is already a dangerous move. His fan girls are professional assassins when it comes to girls getting linked to him.
After ten minutes of shaking ground, the trio felt relieved, successfully escaping the horde of fan girls.
"Whew. That was close." As his gaze averted to his friend, Naruto felt his jaw drop.
Sasuke had his right arm wrapped around Sakura's waist while his other hand covered her mouth. The girl had her two hands slowly lowering his hand from her mouth, asking her question again a while ago. This is so not the Sasuke I know.
"Naruto-kun?"
"N-nothing Sakura-chan! Come on Teme, we're safe."
"Hn."
Sakura was given another piggy back ride from the Uchiha, to Naruto's shock, and the trio left the cave, heading back to their friends who are surely waiting for them.
