Ch 8
Recap: On a roof top near by----
A tall figure crouched watching the genin and dragon with a smile on his face. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but he was glad to see his son. Minato gave a small satified nod, they disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Because Sakura had forcefully dragged Sasuke to her house on several ocasions, he knew the way quite well. He was just praying that she had died or something, that way, they could get out of there sooner. All three of them were dead quiet, not wanting to be this bloody close to Sakura's house in any way or form. Anyway, Sasuke led the way to the pink banshee's house, wearing his usual scowl, but it seemed to be darker then normal. Icefire had dozed off about five minuetes ago, and Naruto had spaced out. Sasuke dropped back and poked Naruto, just as he was about to hit a pole.
"Huh? What happened?"
"You were about to be very good friends with that pole." Sasuke said with a smirk. "You spaced out a while ago. Come on, let's get the tourture over with, we're almost there."
"Right." muttered Naruto. He sighed, and prodded Icefire awake. His neck was hurting with him being up there, and if he was asleep when they visited Sakura, she would send him to Mars, sick or not.
"Huh? What happened to the sake?"
"Man, have you been going with Baa-chan on her party nights or somethin? Get off my head, my neck is getting stiff."
"No I have not! I just like sake. But I don't get so high on it that I can't count the fingers on my hand, unlike several someones that I could name." muttered the blue dragon, clambering onto Naruto's shoulder.
"You don't drink, do you dobe?"
"No! Well, I did once, but the hangover that I got was hell, so I haven't since. And don't you tell me that I'm under age, I know that fact very well!" Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly and grinned. Sasuke and Icefire rolled their eyes.
After another three minuetes of walking, they reached Sakura's house, and quietly knocked on the door. Icefire was struggling to stay awake, and groaned when a tall pink haired woman opened the door. He had a suspision that one of Sakura's parents had pink hair to make her hair that color, and he was thankful that it wasn't her dad.
"Oh! You must be Sasuke!" she exclaimed. When she looked at Naruto, her face darkened and she looked him up and down, as though looking for any fox demon like limbs.
"No Haruno-san I do not have tails, before you ask. We are here to see Sakura."
"Don't you speak to me in that tone mister! I will not allow your kind in this house. I don't care if you are my daughter's team mate, or her lover—please god no—but you will not be alowed past this thresh hold." she said while glaring at Naruto. Icefire growled lowly and glared right back at her. "What's your salamander going to do, nip me? As if her could do any thing." Icefire's growl lowered and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Excuse me, Haruno-san... you might want to take that back. I can not guarentee that I can hold him back if you get him too mad." warned Naruto.
"Haruno-san, you will let all three of us in." ordered Sasuke. Sakura's mother glanced at the raven, and hesitated. "What will Sakura say when you tell her that I came to see her, then left because you wouldn't let Naruto in with me? And you'd best take back your words to the dragon, now, trust me, he is a lot stronger than he looks. Now step aside and let us in, now!"
The elder pink haired banshee stepped out of the way, muttering an apology. Sasuke led the way up to Sakura's room, that he unfortunetly knew the way to. Knocking on her door, he opened it when he got the consent to do so. When he pushed the door open, he almost had to sheild his eyes. Everything was pink! Pink walls, ceiling, bed, wardrobe, ect, ect, ect. Sakura herself had her back turned, and was tucked tightly under the covers on her bed.
"Sakura?" she rolled over, and squeeled a fangirl squeel.
"Sasuke-kun! You came!"
"Yes, but I'm not staying. We just dropped by to say hey."
"We?" she croaked
"Yes, me, Naruto, and Icefire. So hey, glad you ain't dead, and goodbye." he turned around and walked out of the room, the other two coppied his actions, and left. Icy breathed a quiet sigh of relief when they were out of the house.
"I'm not gonna be able to feel my eyes for a week. How can she stand that much pink!?"
"Don't know, don't care." replied Sasuke. "Well, I need to be getting home and get something to eat. Ja." he leaped onto a roof top and ran in the direction of his house.
Well, there's that chappie. I know it was short, it was just something to hold all of you off until I give the results of the poll. Ja!
