Hello there guys, sorry for not being able to update. Well, as a holidays gift, I'll be spending tonight and tomorrow updating my stories as much as I can! XD

~Fate has brought me a PUPPY~


=Recap=

=Itachi's POV=

I watched as the two rolled down at the endless stairs… Wait—they disappeared. Something was wrong, I knew.

I started climbing up the stairs. "Dad! Kaasan!" I shouted desperately as I ran for my room.

Once I reached the door, I opened it fast and locked it behind me. I leaned my back on the door, panting and sweating.

I closed my eyes, and tried to remember how to breathe. With a sigh, my eyelids fluttered open…

.

.

… And then, I saw glinting knives, eyes, and creepy smiles.

I am so dead.

Literally.


=Itachi's POV=

"Ugh, what happened?"

I started sniffing and... It smelled like soup. "Mmm, smells good. I wonder what's cooking."

I looked down and found myself taking a bath...

.

.

.

... A hot bath in a cauldron of soup.

"Hee hee~"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA—"


"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! DON'T EAT ME! I'M TOO SEXY AND I HAVE 0% BODY FAT SO TAKE SASUKE INSTEAD!" I pleaded.

But I felt something different. "Wait a minute."

I opened my eyes and sighed in relief. My sexy bod and I weren't being cooked alive, we were in my room.

"Yey, it was all a dream." I felt so exhausted I couldn't even say "Yey!" right.

.

.

.

*Silence*

.

.

"Oh wait, I almost forgot!" And with that, I quietly left my room.


"Hey Saks." I whispered to her as I creaked open my otoutou's bedroom door. The lights were off and Sasuke was asleep. Sakura was still awake, sitting on the bed.

"Haro Itachi-san." Sakura replied back as she, ever so slightly, walked towards me.

The conversation ended there and silence filled the air as we stealthily made our way to the front porch. The moment continued like that until we reached our ninja headquarters. Or our front porch, that is.

"So, has Sasuke been fine these past few years?" She asked as we sat on the bench anchored steadily to the cemented ground.

I exhaled deeply as I slumped back onto the wooden thing. "Yeah. Things have started to work out for him since we moved here. I became his personal teacher—" I reached for my spectacles and put them on "—and he's been doing a very superb job. I'm very proud of, yours truly." I mock bowed, earning a painful slap on my head instead.

I forgot that she had inhuman, and "unwoman", strength.

"Ha ha." Sakura's sarcastic remark made me smirk despite the throbbing pain that she left on my head—my brain, even (maybe).

I continued. "But my otoutou can't stop thinking about his—" Sakura blushed at this, "—precious 'Sakuwa' that I caught him saying in his sleep every time I passed by his room. Aaw, ain't that just cute~" I mocked her but she blushed harder, so red you can see it glowing in the darkness like Rudolph's nose.

"R-really?" She stuttered. The tough face was already gone, only to be replaced by red splotches (that looked cute). Red splotches like tomato stuff. Tomatoes are Sasuke's favorite. Hmm, would Sasuke eat her right now if he saw this? I wonder.

"Really. I swear… I swear to mom and aunt's delicious, freshly-baked cookies." I drooled invisibly at the thought.

Sakura started to regain her composure and began waving her hand back and forth. "Hai hai. I believe you."


=Sakura's POV=

I started to regain my composure before I acted girly again. But deep inside, my heart was playing a fabulous drum solo.

I waved my hand in front of Itachi's face for emphasis. "Hai hai. I believe you." He just chuckled lightly.

"Hey, do you still remember our younger times?" Weasel-san said thoughtfully and looked up the starry sky. Ha ha. Weasel-san. I nodded and followed suit. "Yeah. Those times I wouldn't forget. Never ever." I let out a sigh of happiness as I closed my eyes.

"Remember that time on the swing?" He started laughing as my eyes flew wide open and I blushed hard again. "That was so priceless!" Itachi just laughed some more.

"Y-yeah… R-r-right." I started laughing myself and quieted down into a silent chuckle as I recalled this morning when I saw him on that field. I didn't feel afraid, nervous, or any negative emotion. Instead, I felt a mixed one of all the happiest feelings you can think of.

'It had to be his… Because I was given a blessing by Fate. ' "Who's Fate?"

I was startled by the voice that came from behind me. Itachi seemed startled too.

.

.

.

"Oh, um, hi Sasuke. I thought you were sleeping." I said as I gave a sheepish grin.

"Yeah, hi 'Sakuwa'." Itachi said nonchalantly.

I saw a vein pop on Sasuke's head. "WHAT. DID. YOU. CALL. ME."

"Er, nothing..?" Itachi was sweating bullets. Poor guy, almost got killed today for 2 times already. Plus this.

Oh well. It's almost like this day will never end.


Well, watcha think? When I read it, it sounded kinda weird to me, so I would really appreciate comments on this. ^^

Thanks again for the support guys~
