It was almost 1 o'clock in the afternoon when Itachi woke up. He noticed that Sakura was sleeping on his shoulder. He didn't want to disturb her so he just rest his head on Sakura's head. After a few minutes, Sakura woke up only to find herself resting on Itachi's shoulder. Realizing her mistake, Sakura immediately stood up and dusted her skirt.
"Hm…" Itachi mumbled. Sakura turned around and saw Itachi smiling. 'He must be having a nice dream. Well, better not disturb him, Sakura,' Sakura said to herself. A few minutes later, Itachi woke up stretching his arms.
"Hey, Sakura, what are you doing?" Itachi asked standing up. "Nothing," Sakura said her back facing Itachi. "Let's go back now. I'm hungry," Itachi said placing his hands inside his pocket and started to walk towards the mansion. "Hey, wait for me," Sakura said walking towards Itachi. "Hurry up, slow poke," Itachi said facing Sakura. "Hey, I'm no slow poke," Sakura said walking faster towards Itachi. "Really? Then prove it. Catch me if you can, slow poke," Itachi said running wildly towards the mansion.
Itachi ran inside the mansion not looking to where he was going. Unaware to where he was going, Itachi suddenly collided with someone. "Ow," Itachi said sitting on the floor. "Master, what are you doing running around at a time like this? Have you eaten your lunch yet?" Kisame said rubbing his aching head.
"Kisame, I'm sorry. I didn't see you coming," Itachi said standing up slowly and helping Kisame stand up, as well. "Your food is getting cold, master. You better eat it now. It's in your room. I'm a bit busy now. I'll be on my way to the library to clean," Kisame said walking away. "Okay, wait, I forgot to tell something," Itachi said. "What is it?" Kisame asked turning around. "Please call the others later and gather in my room," Itachi said. "Yes," Kisame said and walked away (again).
"Are you okay, master?" Sakura asked Itachi as they walked together towards Itachi's room. On the outside, Sakura seems concerned about what happened earlier. But inside, she's actually happy. 'Serves him right for calling me a slow poke,' she thought.
"Yeah, I'm okay," Itachi said opening the door to his room. He went to his desk and started eating his food. "Hey, master. Do you mind me asking something?" Sakura asked. "Sure, what is it?" Itachi said. "Why do you want to call everyone and go here?" Sakura asked. "You'll find out soon," Itachi said drinking some juice.
"I'm done, please take this to the kitchen and wash it," Itachi said pulling away the dirty dishes. "Yes," Sakura said picking it up and leaving the room.
'I wonder what he'll tell later. Maybe something connected tomorrow. Aw men, I wonder where that locket could be? It couldn't possibly walk by itself and went back to that old guy I've met in town. That's impossible,' Sakura thought shaking her head from left to right. Sakura reached the kitchen and placed the dishes in the sink washing everything. 'Or could it be…' Sakura said to herself still thinking about the locket. 'No! It's not possible, right? There couldn't be any ghost around here, that's impossible. Unless this place is haunted,' Sakura thought crept out of what she was thinking.
Sakura finished washing the dishes and wandered around the mansion. 'Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Everyone must be in Itachi's room. I better hurry,' Sakura thought running towards Itachi's room.
Sakura slowly opened Itachi's room's door and took a look inside. "Sakura, we were waiting for you," Itachi said looking at her. "Sorry," Sakura said.
"Okay, now that we're complete, perhaps I may start now. First of, later, this afternoon, there will be some professionals coming to fix everything and tomorrow, there will be also some professional cooks coming to prepare the food. And before I forget anything else, everyone should leave the work to the professionals coming and that everyone may pick their attire for tomorrow in the dressing room near the attic. That's all, any questions?" Itachi said looking at each and everyone in the room. He saw Sai raise his hand.
"Yes, Sai?" Itachi asked. "Does that mean we won't do anything tomorrow but to join everyone else that are invited?" Sai asked. "Yes," Itachi said.
After that, everyone went out of his room like nothing happened. But as they walked out of the room and closed the door, Deidara suddenly asked, "The master's birthday party tomorrow will be different from before." "What makes you say that?" Sakura asked. "Because before, we were the ones to do everything like give drinks to everyone, cook the food, and clean everything," Sasori said. "Yeah, he's right. I wonder what's in his mind," Karin said.
Everyone went back to their work except for Sakura who still kept on thinking where the locket is. As she walk through the hallway, she saw Sasuke and remembered something. She walked closer to Sasuke.
'Master Sasuke, I have something important to tell you," Sakura said. "What is it, Sakura?" Sasuke asked. "You see, I met this guy in town when I had my day off. His name is Uzumaki Naruto and he wants to say hi to you. And he is looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, that's all," Sakura said. "Uzumaki Naruto? You mean the guy who loves eating ramen?" Sasuke asked. "Yes," Sakura said. "I didn't know my brother invited him. Thank you for telling me that, Sakura. I really want to see him again," Sasuke said shaking Sakura's hand up and down.
Realizing his mistake, Sasuke immediately let go of Sakura's hand and turned around hiding his red face. "I better go to my room now. I still have things to do. See you later," Sasuke said walking away. 'Was there something I said?' Sakura asked herself scratching her head. 'Oh well, I'll just go clean the attic upstairs,' Sakura said hopping towards the attic like a little girl while whistling a tune.
