Chapter 6
Surprise!
"…"
"…?"
"…"
"…!"
Itachi, Sakura, and her parents were currently sitting in their living room trying to start a conversation. It wasn't going well.
"Well," Sakura tried to break the awkward silences, "I'm…going to bed!" And with that she ran up to her room, with three pairs of eyes following her. When she got to her room, she jumped onto her bed face first, and started to bang her head on the pillow. She felt like a mental case. Maybe she was.
Sakura's leaving definitely didn't break the awkward silences; it increased them. Itachi and Sakura's parents were sitting on the couches in the living room, holding hot chocolate (except for Itachi, who had tea) and staring at each other.
Sakura's mother was desperate to break the silence. "Um, Itachi-san, let's find you somewhere to sleep."
"-and not in Sakura's room." her father added.
"I wasn't planning in it Haruno-san."
"Good."
"…"
Sakura's mother slapped her head.
"You can sleep in the guest room, Itachi-san."
"…"
"It's the first door to your right upstairs."
"Thank you." And he walked up the stairs.
"…"
"He doesn't talk much."
Sasuke was mad. Itachi had practically scared Sakura out of his house! He came in there with that blue skinned guy-Kisame-, freaked out Sakura, and left! Sakura only stayed for an hour after that, and she had a strange look on her face the whole time. He had the weirdest brother. And now that he thought about it, it was 11:30 pm, and Itachi wasn't home yet from…wherever he was.
Wait. Itachi left the house about five minutes after Sakura left, and he said he was going to 'visit a friend'. Hm. If he actually went to see Sakura, she would have kicked him out by now. Looking out the window confirmed his suspicion. Aa. Furious, Sasuke grabbed his jacket, and stormed out the front door (it wasn't blocked with snow, because of all the maids who had nothing better to do than shovel snow).
Sasuke realized his mistake when he arrived at Sakura's front door; or in other words, a big pile of snow. Just like every other house on the street, Sakura's had snow piled up about four meters on all sides. Hmmm, the windows were just above that. He stomped at the bottom of the snow mountain to see if it was sturdy, and surprisingly, it was. After ten minutes of climbing, slipping, and of being turned into an ice cube, Sasuke finally reached the window of what he hoped was a spare room. He put his fingers in the bottom rim of the window, and pulled upwards. Damn, it was locked. He wiped snow, ice, and frost away from the window, and peeked in. He couldn't see much, but he could tell it wasn't Sakura's parent's room. He sucked in a deep breath, and knocked on the window.
knock
knock
knock
"Screeech!" Sakura screamed. Within seconds, her parents came running into the room.
"What is it honey?" her mother asked with a worried look.
"T-there was a-a f-f-f-face!" she stuttered, pointing at the window.
There was no face anymore, so her father said, "I'm sure it was just a dream," and they walked out of the room. Sakura quietly tiptoed to the window, opened it, and looked out-but there was nothing there. 'Hm,' she thought, 'maybe it was just my imagination,' and went back to bed.
Sasuke was currently lying on the ground. Sakura's scream had startled him so much, that he had fallen down the mountain of snow. He didn't know what to do now; the blizzard was so bad, that every direction he looked was white. Then he remembered that when Sakura opened her window, she might not have locked it! He climbed up the hill again, and the window opened! He quietly crept inside, and was about to walk out of the room, when he heard a little snore. Next to him was a little shivering bundle on a bed. He would have stayed longer, but he wasn't a pervert like Itachi; he wouldn't watch her sleep. He crept out of the room, and he went to the room next to Sakura's, which just happened to be the guest room. He opened the door a crack, and peered inside. Hm. It was empty.
Sasuke silently went into the room and walked over to the bed, when the door suddenly shut behind him.
"What are you doing here, brother?" There was Itachi, standing there with a cup of tea in his hands, staring at Sasuke with an innocent expression. The pure face of evil.
"Arrghh," growled Sasuke, and jumped at his brother. After Sasuke had thrown multiple violent punches (all of them being blocked be Itachi), Sakura went to investigate. You see, she is a very light sleeper, and when Sasuke was in her room, she knew someone was there, and was shivering because she was terrified. The sight in the guest room made her faint…again. Sasuke and Itachi immediately stopped, and sprang apart.
"Sakura I- " Sasuke started, then realized she was unconscious. The two brothers looked at each other, but neither knew what to do. Sasuke walked over, picked her up, and brought her to the bathroom. He put her in the bathtub, with her head under the tap, and turned it on. Before she could make any noise, Itachi covered her mouth, making his brother scowl. Sakura stared at them, very embarrassed, and before Sasuke could say anything she whispered, "Shh! Let's go to the basement so my parents don't wake up!"
It was awkward. Sasuke and Itachi were sitting on the couch together, much to their disgust, and Sakura was standing up, glaring at them. Finally she said, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Itachi just looked at her, and Sasuke looked down. Sakura wasn't good at lectures, and she was very tired, so she just sighed and sat on the floor, very grumpy. Then Itachi spoke up
"Look sweetheart, I'm sorry…" and in slow motion his hand came towards her. Her eyes went really wide, and Sasuke exploded. He punched Itachi's face.
A/N : hm, it's been awhile. I'm soo sorry, I sort of lost interest in Naruto, but then I went back and read this story, and decided I should update.
