I do not own Naruto! Just saying...

Chapter 7

I am so bored! Rose thought while she flared her arms around in every direction. She then crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks with a pout on her face. Sasuke had said that they would leave at sunset and they did. They brought next to nothing with them, only a couple canteens of water and one change of clothes. Well for Rose that extra set of clothes was her ANBU outfit. They had been walking for a day and a half day, no breaks, no food, just walking. And to make it worse the Uchiha never said one word to her! She tried talking to him once about where they were going and he completely ignored her. So she just walked behind him constantly flaring her body around and pouting to herself about how bored she was.

Okay I am use to long journeys that can be quite but come one! I have to spend a whole month with him, a month! Why can't he just say something, hell even sparring would be fine right now! Just something to cure the boredom! Rose felt like she was going to die of boredom before they even got to where ever the hell it was they were going.

Sasuke and Rose have walked for a day and a half and for a day and half he has seen her flare about and pout about something, he didn't know what. Well how could he know she never said a word to him. She tried talking to him right after they had left but he didn't feel like talking so he ignored her. He was not the talking type. He glanced back at her and saw she was pouting again. The black cloak she had on went to the ground on her and covered up her whole body, she didn't have her hood up though, Sasuke told here to have it up when they were in villages and populated areas, but right now they were in the woods so he figured she didn't care if any one saw her. With pink hair like that though he was sure anyone could recognize her without a second glance, so he wanted her to keep it on, but she, of course, doesn't. Sasuke sighed and looked ahead once more.

This is going to be a very long month. He thought as he continued walking forward.

"Put your hood up, we are going to be entering a village soon." Rose complied with what the Uchiha said. The hood on the cloak was so big it covered all of her head and face, she couldn't see anything. She reached out her hand and grabbed the back of Sasukes cloak, he stopped which resulted in her running into his back.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke ask as he turned to look at her, well more like glare.

"I can't see anything the hood on this cloak is so big. So I am going to use you to guide me where ever it is we are going" She spoke with a matter of fact tone.

"You are an ANBU I am sure they have trained you how to guide yourself without sight." Sasuke said coldly to her. She just looked bugged eye at him and tilted her head to the side.

"How the hell are you an ANBU?" Rose just smiled a childish smile.

"You know my friend asks me that all the time." She said with a small laugh. Sasuke just turned and started to head towards the village with her in tow holding on the back of his cloak.

How the hell did I lose a fight to her? Sasuke thought annoyed with himself. They walked through the small village quietly, trying not to catch anyone's attention as they made their way to the hotel.

"One room, with room service." Sasuke said with an icy tone to the young lady at the desk as he placed money on the counter. The women counted the money and smiled up at him batting her eyelashes a few times and putting her chest out.

"Here is your key your room is number 143. Your dinner will be up shortly. Please enjoy your stay let me know if you or your little sister need anything. "They lady said with a kind smile as she handed Sasuke the key with a sexy look on her face, she wanted him and Rose had to stop herself from laughing at the girl. She knew the Uchiha wasn't the type to sleep with a woman like that. Her boobs were too big and her brain to small. Rose mentally slapped herself, she had to stop thinking of things she knew about him because of her sister. Sasuke took the key without a second glance at her and started walking towards the room with Rose in tow a bit annoyed that she was called his little sister but she was smiling about the room number.

The room was nice. It wasn't a fancy hotel but not a run down one. The walls were a deep blue and it had off white carpeting. The bed was at least a queen size. There was a window with a sun seat and a small table and two chairs in the corner of the room near a door where the bathroom was.

Once Rose and Sasuke were in the room and the door was shut Rose threw off her cloak and fell face first onto the bed. God she was tired. Sasuke also took off his cloak but he went and sat at the small table in the corner of the room. They sat like that till a knock at the door go them both up, but before Rose could even get off the bed Sasuke was at the door. He took the food from the guy and shut the door. He then went back to the corner of the room, with the food.

Did he just take the food to the corner with him? But I'm hungry too! Rose got off the bed and headed towards the Uchiha. She sat on the other end of the small table. Their dinner was two small bowls of rice some fruit and meat Rose had not seen before. Rose looked at the fruit, there were apples, tomatoes, grapes, and some watermelon. She went for the grapes.

I'll leave him the tomatoes cause that's what he likes. Rose knew he liked them because of Sakura. Many years ago she went on a rampage of Sasukes likes to the family of which Rose did not pay attention to…mostly. She caught that little fact, along with a couple others, like the boob and brain thing…

Sasuke watched her look at all the food then only go for the grapes. Granted they did not have much food but why only go for the fruit? His eyes wondered to the tomatoes.

She better not eat them. Sasuke thought as he started to eat the rice.

They sat there quietly in an awkward conferrable silence. Rose just ate the grapes nothing else. She was use to eating very little, plus she was spoiled if it wasn't her mother or fathers cooking she didn't like it. Hell even her older sister Ami was a great cook but she would only eat her parents cooking. It's why Ami no longer invites Rose over for dinner, that and Kakashi specifically wanted to keep his face hidden from her just to bug her. She looked up at the Uchiha who was eating quietly with his eyes closed not paying any attention to her. Rose couldn't take the silence any more.

"You do know that you're stuck with me for a whole month right?" Sasuke opened his eyes and started at her but he didn't stop eating.

"You could at least try and talk to me, even if it is only a few times." Sasuke put his food down and looked at her.

"I'm not the talking type, if you want a conversation you should find someone else or just go back home. And don't make it sound like I want you here with me. I have to let you come with me if I want my chakra back." Sasuke said all this rather coldly and with some anger and annoyance. Rose just looked at him.

He really is a younger version of dad isn't he? Rose couldn't help but giggle at that thought, while Sasuke just looked at her like she was weird.

"Okay, be that way" Rose said as she got up. "I'm going to take a bath then go to bed." She was stretching all the way into the bathroom. When the door shut and she was no longer in the room Sasuke let out a long sigh.

This is really going to be a long month.

Rose filled up the tub and added a lot of bubbles, she liked bubbles. She stripped off her dirty clothes and tested the water with her toes before she got in. the tub was so big to her that when she sat all the way down the water came up to her nose. Plus, she had the bubbles everywhere so she was buried underneath them. She felt so at peace and so conferrable, it had been a long time since she got to just relax. It was so nice. She picked up some bubbles in her hands and blew them around the bathroom.

It's raining bubbles Rose thought with a smile as she blew more bubbles around the bathroom and giggled as they flew about. It was childish yes but Rose didn't really get a childhood so this was nice.

Sasuke heard giggling and looked towards the bathroom and saw that the door wasn't closed all the way.

What is she doing? Sasuke got up and went to the door and looked through the small crack and saw nothing but pink. Confused and curious he opened the door and looked around. He couldn't see the girl just bubbles, nothing but bubbles. Pink ones at that.

"What does the Lord of Darkness want in my kingdom of bubbles?" Sasuke heard the girl ask from beneath the water. He raised an eyebrow.

"Lord of Darkness?" He questioned her saying. It was so childish yet fitting in his mind. He heard her giggle in response. He couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. She was an elite ANBU and yet acted so childish.

"What are you doing?" He asked with an annoyed tone, as he crossed his arms and glared at the bubbles surrounding the pinkette. He couldn't see her but he could feel her chakra and his coming off of her. So he was just guessing at where she was under the mountain of bubbles.

"Ruling over my peaceful kingdom of Bubbletom, right now we are having a festival of foods such as shampooletes and conditionernets, both are highly nutritious for the pink hair people who atop the hill of my kingdom."

Sasuke had to just stand there and let her words sink in, it was difficult. She was talking like a five year old…How in god's name did he lose a fight to her?! He let out an aggravated sigh and turned around to leave.

"You better clean this place up after you're done." Was all he said as he walked out and slammed the door. Rose just stared at the door then she tilted her head in confusion.

Did I…just make him angry?

Sasuke sat at the table thinking of the little pinkette and how she was able to be so…so…childish. She was a hell of a fighter when it came to protecting her team and taking him on one on one but she has been someone completely different since. What the hell? He didn't understand it, he couldn't. He picked up a tomato and started to eat it as he thought about her. Her personality was weird and when not in uniform she dressed pretty lazy, it's almost like she doesn't want to be what she is. That's when a question came to mind he hadn't thought about before.

How old is she? She can't be much older than me, hell I think she is younger…if she is younger then that explains the way she acts. Sasuke sat there thinking of this when he heard the bathroom door open. He looked up from the corner of his eye and for a second had to remember how to breathe. There was Rose in a small white towel that short even on her small body. It hugged her damp skin like a glove showing off every curve and asset she had to offer. She had her head down with a towel covering her hair and face while she towel dried her hair. She moved her hips side to side in a sensual motion that made the blood in Sasukes body go straight to his groin. Then when she removed the towel from her hair she flung her head back in a sexual way as she licked her dry lips. She then shook her head from side to side to get more water out of her hair. It seemed like timed had slowed as Sasuke watched her, he had never seen a women with so much sex appeal without even trying before in his life! She stopped shaking her head as it was facing the Uchiha and she slowly opened her eyes and stared at him for a few seconds. Sasuke tried to look unimpressed but he could feel the tightness in his pants and couldn't help but want to see more of the soothing body movements of hers. She then tossed her hair with her right hand and turned and went to the bed with a very unamused look on her face, all the while Sasukes eyes never leaving her body. Once she was at the bed she crawled underneath the covers, as soon as she was covered she took the towel off and dropped it off the side of the bed.

Sasuke just sat there with his jaw slightly open. The tightness in his groin only got worse on seeing how she slept and knowing he got to sleep next to her only made his imagination run wilder then he thought possible.

Alright…She did that one purpose…Did she know I was thinking she was childish so she wanted to prove me wrong? Sasuke sat there I thought before she shook the thoughts out of his head and headed to the bathroom, he needed a long cold shower and to get rid of another problem she has caused…again.

Rose sat in bed looking at the wall. She wasn't embarrassed by what she just did because she doesn't know the effect it had on the Uchiha. All she knew is that she got out the tub, dried her hair and went to bed, just like she would at home. She sat there thinking of what the next month will hold for the two of them. She turned around in the bed feeling the cotton sheets against her bare skin, she loved the feeling. Both Ami and Rose picked up their mothers habit of sleeping naked….Even after three kids her mother never wore clothes to bed, needless to say neither did her father….She had a very scared childhood. But she could see why they did it, it was so conferrable.

One month….should I tell him I'm his ex-team mate's sister? Oh yeah Rose while you're at it tell him your oldest sister is dating is ex teacher! Rose Sighed. I can't tell him who I am…I know he probably won't trust me through this whole month but he would snap if he learned who I am. He would probably get all paranoid thinking I'm leading him into a trap set by Sakura…not to mention it would automatically tell him that I'm Zeros daughter and he may get even more mad at that…So I guess I won't tell him…no I can't tell him. With that thought in mind Rose felt her eye lids slowly close, she couldn't help but wish she could tell him who she was, her life story what the village had done to her and how she could relate to him in so many ways. That was a fantasy though and she knew that, but she could still hope. She fell asleep thinking of a day when she fully open up to someone and tell them everything about herself in a way she knew she never could.

As Sasuke left the bathroom he looked at the bed and saw the outline of her body just lying under the covers. He walked over to the empty side of the bed and looked at her. She was asleep, her even breathing told him that. She was on her side facing him, curled up in a small ball. He just sat there staring at her when a thought came to him.

She looks kind of like Sakura…could she be? Sasuke eyes widened as he thought of a man he hadn't thought of since he left the village. Zero… Sasuke remembered the man who had taken care of him after the massacre, the man was like a second father to him of which he knew next to nothing about. He remembered he had three daughters, one way older than him, one his age, and one a year younger. He had learned the night he left that Sakura was one of Zeros daughters and Sakura was his age…and this girl does look about a year younger….Sasuke both felt angry and relived? He was angry because if she is Zeros daughter why hasn't she told him? But if she is Sakuras sister then why not do any missions to help find him? Surely she would want to help her sister right? And why didn't Sakura ever talk about her sisters? So many thoughts went through Sasukes head. He didn't know what to do. What if she was somehow communicating with her sisters to tell them where they are? Did she and Sakura plan this? It would make sense he didn't have his chakra because of her so they could easily ambush him and take him back without any effort.

Sasuke buried his face in his hands, letting out an aggravated sigh…it was late he needed sleep. He looked at the pinkette once more…

You better not be who I am thinking you are…was Sasuke last thought as he too crawled into bed and fell asleep remembering how Zero and him once mad a bet about his youngest daughter…
