Chapter Nine
Antidote Reaching Revival Point
I sat up in bed and saw Kyuubi struggling in my arms to be free. Sometimes I wondered how I never seemed to suffocate my cat in my sleep. Kissing my cat on his fluffy forehead I lowered him to ground where he immediately ran off.
"Yeah I love you too Kyuubi," I said as I heard my cat's distance meow.
I got out of bed and walked towards my bathroom. Closing the door behind me I turned up my music and stripped out of my cloths. Turning on the hot water I stepped into the bathtub and let my bed hair dissolve. Grabbing my lavender smelling shampoo I worked into my sunny locks. After I was done with my hair, I grabbed my body wash and lathered it on my tan skin.Standing under the hot water the body wash flowed off of my body.
After I was done with my shower I stepped out of the bathtub and wrapped my towel around my waist. Grabbing my toothbrush I started to brush my teeth while still rocking out to my favorite song.
After I was done brushing my teeth I walked out of the bathroom and into my bedroom. Opening my closet's door I walked inside and chose out an outfit. Drying myself off; I put on my blue tee shirt, jeans, and Jordan's. Looking at my hair in the mirror I ran a comb through it and grabbed my cell phone and ran downstairs.
I may have been forgetting about Sasuke, the nightmares, and the hauntings but my parents weren't. I sat down at the table and saw my dad eyeing the butter knife and me. A small smile crossed my lips as I grabbed the butter knife and just held it in my hands. My dad's expression quickly changed. Raising the butter knife into the air I saw my dad getting worried. I grinned as I brought it slowly down into my pancakes.
"Is something wrong daddy?" I asked innocently as my dad quickly changed his worried expression into a forced smile.
"It's nice to see you getting better," my dad said.
I smiled and decided to stop scaring my parents. Even my mom was staring at me with a worried expression. Getting up I gave my mom a kiss on the cheek and saw her shocked expression. Grinning I ran out the front door and all the way to the park where I saw Ino and Kiba waiting for me.
"Hi!" Ino said. She was wearing skinny jeans, a red tank top, and black flats. Her hair was tied in a ponytail and she was pretty as always.
"Hi guys," I said as Kiba threw his arm around my shoulder.
"Bro my parents had plenty of fun without me," Kiba said. He was wearing a gray button up shirt, jeans, and Jordan's. And his hair was messy like always.
"Well duh. They were on their anniversary trip," I said with grin.
"Someday I want to have an anniversary trip like your parents, Kiba," Ino said with a dreamy look. "My future husband and I will have so much fun together"
"Oh dear God; here she goes dreaming again," Kiba said as we laughed while Ino frowned.
We walked through the park making fun of each other and our future significant others. Ino didn't really like the jokes but Kiba and I loved it.
"Ino I bet your Prince Charming is going to get lost and never find you," Kiba laughed as Ino punched him in the arm.
"And I bet your Princess Wonderful is never going to want you," Ino shouted as Kiba shrugged.
"I don't really much care," Kiba said as Ino gasped.
"How could you not?" Ino asked.
"Because I'm a player," Kiba said as I rolled my eyes.
"I doubt that," I said with a laugh.
"You're just jealous," Kiba said as I laughed harder.
"Oh please why would I be…" I stopped dead in my tracks as I realized where we ended up walking to while cracking jokes. "Guys we're at the Uchiha mansion!"
Ino and Kiba remained still as we stared at up at the old mansion. The front gates were closed the door to the mansion was shut, and there was no movement inside the mansion.
"I have a bad feeling," Ino whispered in fear of someone from the mansion hearing her.
"Why the Uchiha game is over with?" Kiba asked.
"If you were smart you would stay away from danger," Ino said as Kiba grumbled.
"You two both of have good points," I said quietly as I opened the front gates walked inside the yard.
"What are you doing Naruto?" Ino asked as she followed me and grabbed my wrist. "Are you crazy? You just got your life back. Why are you putting yourself in harm's way?"
"Because I'm not in harm," I said as Kiba followed me. "Come on let's do a little exploring. I bet there's no one inside"
"You two are insane!" Ino said but she still followed Kiba and me.
We walked together to the front door of the mansion and quietly opened it. As we stepped inside we weren't greeted with a gust of cold air like before. Instead we greeted by dead silence. Mirrors weren't covered with blankets anymore, pictures were up right, and the atmosphere of the mansion felt nicer. I jumped as the door shut behind us with a loud thud!
"Well hello," Itachi said as he somehow appeared on the Victorian sofa with a wine glass in his hand.
How on Earth did he appear like that? And how did he even know we were inside his mansion? I watched in amazement as Itachi smiled at us. I quickly realized I was staring and looked away embarrassed. Ino was the worst she could tear her eyes off the elder Uchiha. Kiba was instead intrigued of the wine Itachi was drinking.
"It is a surprise seeing you three here," Itachi said as I heard a sigh coming from Ino. Well it looks like she found her Prince Charming. "Well do sit down"
We slowly walked towards Itachi and sat on the Victorian sofa across of Itachi. Ino slowly tilted her head and stared at Itachi with her mouth slightly open and eyes wide as the full moon. Kiba didn't seem interest in Itachi that much and was staring at the pictures hanging on the wall. I was more interested in on how Itachi appeared like that.
"I'm assuming that you came here to see my little brother," Itachi said as Ino woke up from her daze. She looked at me while I looked at Kiba.
"Don't look at me," Kiba said as I bit my lip.
"We were curious," I said hoping that would be a good answer.
"I understand," Itachi said as a black mist formed on the Victorian armchair. Suddenly two red eyes glowed in the black mist. The black mist then formed in a shape of human sitting on the chair and suddenly in a blink of an eye Sasuke appeared!
I stared in amazement as Sasuke red eyes turned back to normal. His dark eyes swept over us as a smirk formed on his pale lips.
"This is a surprise," Sasuke said smirk still in play as I remembered last night.
This time it was my turn to stare in daze. I was transfixed by the raven sitting in front of me. I suddenly felt someone shaking me. Turning my head I looked at Kiba who just raised his eyebrow at me.
"Dude what are you staring at?" Kiba asked.
"Nothing," I quickly said as I saw Ino returning back to her dazing.
"Ino seems out of it," Kiba said with a laugh as another black mist appeared next to Itachi. The black mist shaped into a human form and a boy appeared. He had brown hair, black eyes, and a frown on his face.
"Kankuro what brings you here?" Itachi asked.
"Gaara he's…oh I didn't know you had visitors," Kankuro said as Kiba suddenly started staring at the new boy. I grinned as Kiba dazed at Kankuro who just looked confused. I turned to look at Sasuke dazing again.
"How did you do that?" I asked as I stared at Sasuke.
"Magic," Sasuke said as Itachi smiled at his brother. "Like I said I was bored, Naruto"
I snapped out of my daze as I recalled the events of last night.
"What do you want me to do about it?" I asked.
"Entertain me," Sasuke said.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked as the room started spinning.
Instead of sitting with Kiba and Ino at my side I was sitting on top of bed with Sasuke next to me. I was suddenly pushed against a wall with Sasuke kissing me. This is what he meant by entertainment…
"And I'm leaving that to your imagination…" –AngelForever.
