Chapter 6
Konoha Toy Store: 14:10pm
The sun was shining, people were bustling about the marketplace, everyone seemed in a good mood.
Even Sakura
For the first time since she had been 'given' the mission to look after Sasuke and Naruto, Sakura found herself having more fun than she ever thought she could have.
She was stood in a toy store, with two very happy children who were running around like rabbits, they had done everything she had asked them to do and for once, Sasuke hadn't started a fight!
(Yeah it's all nice and everything...But it's been 5 days since this 'mishap' and they're still just as dumb and childish....I think we're being had!)
*You're so suspicious! Tsunade said their mentality MAY come back before the jutsu wears off*
(Humph! I'm not convinced! You're just too soft and gooey because they're cute and squishy)
*Oh hush you! I'm sure if they'd let me know if they were back to normal...I doubt very much they like having me helping them pee!*
(Wanna bet?)
*No...Now...Go away, you're ruining my good mood! Go on...Shooo!*
Sakura scolded herself for listening to her inners mad ramblings and concentrated on the two little figures that darted in and out of the aisles, she smiled gently before taking a seat in the 'Adults waiting area' that had been built so that parents could take the weight off their feet while the children ran riot in the store.
"Would you like a cup of tea dear?" Asked the elderly shop keeper
Sakura nodded and then thanked him again once the tea arrived.
"Aaah...Even though I'm stuck indoors on such a nice day...I'm not too bothered" She chuckled, taking a sip of her tea and sinking further into the lush leather seat.
With Naruto and Sasuke: Aisle 3
They watched as Sakura sank into her chair and contently sipped on her tea, they had spent 20 minutes running round like lunatics to give her the impression that they were going to be a while.
"So...Why you drag me back here Sasuke? I haven't chosen anything yet!" Naruto moaned
Sasuke 'tsk'ed and smacked the toys Naruto was struggling to keep hold of in his arms, causing them to scatter onto the floor.
"How much longer do we have to keep this up dobe!" Sasuke hissed
He had been finding it hard to keep up the charade:
He hated the fact that he needed Sakura there when he needed the toilet
He hated the fact that Sakura would dress them in 'cute' slogan t-shirts like "It's not easy being this cute"
He hated the fact that people would pinch his cheeks or ruffle his hair whilst making weird noises at him
He hated the fact that they all slept in the same bed
He hated the fact that Naruto slept so close to him
He hated it when Naruto would cling to Sakura He hated Bath time! Especially when he had to have one with Naruto
He hated the fact that he couldn't control the blush that appeared on his face when Sakura got dressed or undressed
He hated it Sakura would cuddle Naruto
He hated it that his eyes would wander or watch Sakura randomly, no matter how much it made him smile!
He hated it all!
Sasuke glared at Naruto who had begun to pick up his toys instead of answering his questions, grabbing him roughly by his t-shirt he pushed him as hard as he could against the wall, forcing Naruto to pay attention
"Well!?!" Sasuke demanded
Naruto grinned and shrugged off Sasuke's grip on him so he could straighten his top before stating
"We have only 2 days left teme, after that we can claim we remember nothing, you don't rot in jail or get your head chopped off and I can go back to winning Sakura's heart"
Sasuke snarled
"What makes you think she'll go for you DOBE!"
"Well...why wouldn't she? Unlike you, I've never knocked her out and left her on a bench! Although, you have been wanting alot of her attention this week" He stated
Sasuke directed his glare to the floor, it annoyed him that even after so long, everyone gave him grief over that night, but what annoyed him more was that Naruto had caught on that he had indeed been demanding Sakura's attention.
"Whatever..."
Naruto smiled triumphantly, he slung his arm over Sasuke's shoulder before steering him back towards the aisles and aisles of toys.
"We better get a move on...Now...Go find something shiny or something, don't want to keep Sakura-Chan waiting ne?" Naruto teased before pushing Sasuke down a random aisle before sprinting down another
Sasuke stood there for a moment, he wasn't sure if he could keep up the act...He scrunched his hands into fists and tried to calm himself down, as much as he hated to admit it, Naruto had a point, if he could keep up this up for another 2 days he'd be free of this mess of emotions
He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't hear the soft footsteps that were slowly approaching him until it was too late.
"Sasuke?"
"ARGH!" Sasuke screamed when a hand landed on his shoulder, he spun round to face the threat but lost his footing and landed flat on his back Dazed and embarrassed, Sasuke could only look up into the face of what his mind deemed an angel, wide emerald orbs stared down at him worried
"Oh Sasuke-kun, I'm sorry! Did I scare you? I just came to see If you had found anything you liked yet?" Sakura bent down and picked up the fallen Uchiha and carefully placed him against her bosom in a nursing manner
Sasuke couldn't help the blush that plastered his face as he was coddled into Sakura's embrace
"I...I...Uh...Uuhh...Ooo..Ooooies!" He stuttered, his mind had turned to mush and couldn't string together a single sentence
Sakura hushed the small boy in her arms, swaying softly back and forth while stroking his hair in a calming way
"It's ok Sasuke-kun, I'm sorry, are you hurt?" Sakura lifted the boy away from her chest and gave him a quick check to make sure there were no scrapes or bruises, happy that he was unscathed, she smiled sweetly at the little child who continued to stare open mouthed at her
"Would you like me to help you pick something?" She asked
Sasuke nodded, his mouth was dry and his body had become jelly like, he allowed Sakura to carry him around the store, picking up random toys and showing them to him before he chose a puzzle kit and a novelty smiling tomato plushie.
As they neared the counter they found Naruto already waiting for them, he had managed to trim down his choice of toys from 15 to 3, he had chosen a small fox plushie, a bubble gun and a light up yo-yo Placing Sasuke on the ground next to Naruto,
Sakura proceeded to pay for the good before leading the boys out the shop and back home.
"Say Sasuke...Is that a blush I saw on your face earlier?" Naruto taunted quietly on the journey back to Sakura's apartment
Sasuke scowled before cursing himself mentally...This next two days were going to be a nightmare!
Shorter than the others I know but just you wait till the end...Mwahahahahaha! I'm being a little evil with the ending but it'll be worth it :p
Thanks to everyone who was lovely enough to review...Love you all!
