Chapter Nine
(September month two)
* I know this is super over due. I am so SORRY. All that I can ask is that you enjoy =) *
After Sasuki's birthday party the rumors of Naruto having a girlfriend, lover and wife all together died down. But now questions of where Naruto was began to surface.
Naruto and Sasuke would just say secret mission. Right now Sasuke was washing the dishes when he heard Naruto whoop and yell in delight from the door.
"Naruto calm down before you do something dumb." I yelled to him (or her for now) as I placed another plate on the rack.
"Sorry hon. I just got a letter from perverted sage that's all." Naruto said as she walked in and sat down with an envelope in her small hands.
He's wearing a navy blue skirt and white tank that bring out his tan skin to glow.
"Really, pervert sent you a letter? How long has he been gone this time?" I asked as I tried to remember when was the last time I saw his sorry ass being thrown out of the women's bath area.
"About last year on…Dec…something. He left before Christmas I know for sure because I had to send his gift via toad. Let's see he says…" Naruto trailed off as he began to read the letter.
'Pervert...is probably fighting off some very pissed off husbands' I thought as I placed a cup on the rack.
"Oh Sasuke he's coming back soon. He's not sure when but soon and he doesn't know about it Sasuke. I thought Tsunade would have told him but I am glad we get to tell him." Naruto folded the paper back in the envelope.
"He's not in any trouble?" I ask surprised.
"Well he was run out of a town for his research. However, that was in May.
Sasuke…I have been thinking." Naruto said as he placed the envelope on the table.
'Oh no…thinking is not good.' I quickly place the mug back down in the sink so I don't break it. I turn to face my lover. "What have you thought about?", I ask with soap bubbles on my hands.
"Well I am thinking we should paint the baby's room." Naruto said as she stood up.
"The baby's room? We don't have a baby room." I stated to my lovely idiot.
"Well…we should get rid of the fake bed room. I mean no one comes over since I have been gone. So lets get rid of the fake bed, table, and paint it. That's the only room I didn't paint, it's still white." Naruto listed out as she paced around.
"Who wants the fake bed and table?" I asked.
'I mean we just can't chuck them out the window.'
"Well we could go and see if a store will buy them." Naruto threw out.
"And what store is that?" 'I swear sometimes Naruto doesn't think all the way.'
"We can go and check ourselves." she smiled.
'I take it back; I don't know when to shut up.'
"You are done with your mission right?" Naruto asked.
'Argh' As much as I want to lie, I finished the mission an hour ago.
It was just escorting Tsunade to a casino and being bodyguard. Since Naruto has been carrying our child I have asked Tsunade to give me day missions and short distance ones so I don't have to be away from Naruto for too long or night. I guess I can go with him to some shops.
"Yah, I finished it. Let me just finish washing the dishes." I said and turned back to the sink. "Alright.", Naruto said as she left the room.
'This not how I wanted to spend my day.' I groaned in my head as I washed another plate.
I waited outside for Sasuke; the sunrays were all nice and warm.
'Summers about to end.'
Closing my eyes, I can smell someone cooking chicken in the distance, fresh sugar donuts being pulled out of an oven. The nine tails has always given me an animalistic sense of smell, not nearly as good as Kiba's but better than the normal. Then Sasuke' scent hits my nose, that musk, fresh berry scent telling me his out.
Snapping my eyes open, I see him locking the door. "Ready?"
"Yup, let's try that new store I've heard of …pot barn something." I say trying to remember.
"Alright, shouldn't be too hard to find." Sasuke shrugs as we walk.
The streets are not too crowded but still full. We then see a sigh that reads Pottery Barn. I roll my eyes and we enter. The shop is full of customers, looking at bedding, couches and tables. "Wow. Who knew that the village needed so much furniture." I muttered at the mass. Sasuke rolled his eyes, "Check out the lady looking at the fish lamp."
I follow his gaze and see Lady Yin surrounded by three guards.
"What a freaking ugly lamp." he laughs.
I jab him in the ribs as Lady Yin takes notice of me.
"Nami." she yells approaching us.
"You know her?" Sasuke asks in a hush tone.
"Yes, so behave." I mutter back.
"Lady Yin, so nice to run into you." I bow to her.
She smiles and pulls a fan out. "Nami, I didn't know you shopped here?"
"No, I don't. This is actually my first time here." I tell her as her guards come up.
I only recognized the one that walked me home, Ichigo.
"Well dear I can you tell this shop has good taste. Oh, who is this?" She raises her brow as she has comes to notice Sasuke. "Lady Yin this is Sasuke my-" I stopped.
'What is Sasuke to me? Sure boyfriend but were having a child…is he more?'
Sasuke sent a look at me of worry quickly recovering he spoke, "I am her husband" he smiled. Lady Yin broke into a huge grin, "Oh you're the lucky father. Congratulations."
"Thank you very much." Sasuke said in that liquid Uchiha proper tone.
'Sasuke? Did I hear him correctly?'
"Nami dear you still have to come over sometime." Lady Yin said pulling me back to reality. "Yes, the days just go by so quick." She nodded in agreement, "When you're free dear. Please pardon me I need to resume my shopping. Till next time Nami. Nice meeting you Sasuke." She waved bye and left. The guards followed her, Ichigo nodded in my direction as he passed by. Sasuke caught that, "Naruto what was that?"
I smiled softly, "A good person. Come let's find someone to help us."
We final found a salesperson restocking bed sheets, chipper teen girl. When we asked if they would take the bed and the table. She told us that they only sell their products and no one else's. Sasuke was pissed so I quickly pulled us out of the shop and into the open air. "Well that was fun come on lets find another shop." I said hoping he would clam down. "We are never going to find someone who wants the bed!" he shouted and punched the nearby wall.
'At lest it is a wall and not a person' I thought as the paint chips fell when Sasuke pulled his fist back. Just then a fellow shinobi who watches the west gate stopped.
"Are you trying to get rid of a bed?" he asked.
I quickly turned with a smile, "Yes. It's a twin, only 2 years old and it comes with a night stand." I said in my best sale voice.
"How much?" he asked. I could feel my hopes rising.
Before Sasuke could say anything like a ridiculous piece I spoke, "It's free!" the guards eyes went up in surprise and Sasuke's jaw fell.
"Really? Well then, can I pick it up later in the day? My sister is moving in so this is perfect timing. Thank you so much…uh" he said unsure what to call me.
"Uzumaki, Nami. Just stop by Naruto's place, when you are ready." I grinned at the good deed I had just done. He nodded and left. However, I could feel Sasuke's anger.
I clutched both of my fists, after Naruto told the guy it was free.
I still haven't told him about losing the present last month and don't plan on to.
But I wanted to make some money back for buying the present back from that slime ball. Naruto turns on his heels and faces me with a scared face, "I am sorry Sasuke. But I don't see the reason to charge him for the bed."
'What can I say to him….nothing because that is Naruto's way. He gives a hand to anyone in need.' I shake my head and chuckle at my blonde.
"Don't be sorry Naruto. Come on lets getting going and get the bed out before the guy shows up." Naruto's face brighten up at my suggestion, "Alright. But we need to buy some paint to paint the walls Sasuke."
"Okay what colors where you thinking?" I ask as we both begin to walk.
I automatically wrap his or her hand in mine as we walk. Naruto turns his head, raises his eyebrows, and looks down at our fingers intertwined. He gives me a soft smile before answering me, "How about a frog green?" he says looking up at me.
I roll my eyes, "For the baby not you silly." I say to him not caring if anyone sees us holding us hands.
'I deserver happiness and so does Naruto. So screw the rest of the world.'
