Konoha 7
The Great Pirate
"There's no way that One Piece is real," Sasuke said coldly. It was late at night, and the crickets were singing in the grass under the window. The moon sent luminous messages to the world asleep, a dim glow for those night-wanderers. The Uchiha house was silent, a silence known as the still of the night. I turned off the bright lights, and left the dim ones barely breaking the darkness of Sasuke's room. "This Gol D. Roger is too godly to be real. There has never been , or ever will be, a Pirate King." Sasuke was sitting on the floor with a sleeping bag, an extra blanket, and a pillow made to look like Charmander from Pokemon. Makoto was sleeping on Sasuke's bed for the night. She was lying down on her side, snuggling an oversized pillow, facing me with a look of deep concentration.
"What's wrong sis?" I asked her. She scrunched her nose cutely.
"This Gol D. Roger sounds like Bima's friend. Maid Chinami told me a different version of Bima's story," she said trying to recall the words the maid told her. "I think he has something to do with Bima's disappearance... O-or maybe it was how the island formed." She stopped to think hard, only to frustratingly shake her head. "Gosh! I just can't remember!" She theatrically fell back onto the bed to show her frustration.
"Don't kick yourself about it," I smiled slightly, trying to calm her down. She turned to me and shot me with a bight "Just kidding!" I almost fainted at the luminous sight of Makoto smiling at me. After I caught my breath, I checked the time. Twelve thirty. "I think it's about time we all go to bed. Now, Makoto-chan, are you fine over there in Sasuke's bed?" She nodded sleepily, still hugging her pillow. "Sasuke?"
"I'm fine here, thanks," he replied coolly. With that I went to turn off the dim lights in Sasuke's room.
"Good night Sasuke, 'night Makoto."
"G'night," they both said softly before dozing off. In a few minutes it was completely silent. A few more minutes later the silence was broken by Sasuke's monstrous snoring. I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. Imagine him when he's 16. He'll shake the house apart. Haha. Tomorrow's Sunday. We don't have too much time to get Makoto used to life with a family. I hope she'll be okay by herself when Sasuke and I are away...
I made sure Makoto was comfortably asleep before leaving to my own room. Mother is crazy to thing that Sasuke would do anything to Makoto. There's no point for me to be sleeping in their room tonight. I would just scare them senseless with my snoring. I chuckled quietly, slowly sliding my bedroom door to a close, and locking it.
A short chapter... Hey guys~ ^^; I know I've been gone for a few million years, but I'm seriously getting into writing this story now. I have little deadlines set up for myself so that I keep my focus on getting this done. :) It's been a while since I've written anything for myself, so it might seem a little different from the previous chapters.
