Little Mermaid, Naruto Version
Chapter 10
Previously:
The next day Naruto woke up early because someone was disturbing her sleep. She was half aware of the disturbance and half aware of her now fading dream. She knew it was about Sasuke and how they end up together. It was also how their marriage united the humans and the merpeople but it was now only bits and pieces she was seeing.
Then she felt something wet on her cheek and she brushed it off. She heard a thud and turned around to the other side of her bed. Then she felt a prickling sensation on her arm and she frowned but didn't wake up.
What?
%%%%
She immediately woke up as she felt something bite her and she fell off the bed she was on. She shook her head and grabbed her arm. There were faint marks and then she heard a bark. She looked up at her bed and noticed Pakkun sitting there.
"I was wondering when you would wake up," he muttered.
She just glared at him. He had better have a good explanation for waking her up from the wonderful dream, which, by the way, she had almost completely forgotten. Then she looked around, how had she gotten in her room?
"I didn't want to bite you but you left me no choice," he answered her glare.
Naruto hit him on the head and ignored his howl of pain. He deserved it for biting her in her sleep. She checked the time and yawned. It was still early for breakfast but she decided to get ready anyways. As Pakkun began to talk about what happened yesterday after she left both Kiba and him she went to her closet. Apparently she had gotten a whole new wardrobe the night before.
There were many dresses and she couldn't help but admire their beauty. Whoever picked them had good taste but she needed something that was easy to put on. She wasn't so skilled at putting on the dresses yet. After browsing a bit she grabbed two dresses and showed them to Pakkun.
One of them was a plain white dress that tied around her neck. The back was bare and it was long. The ends had some embroidery and there was some embroidery around the waist. Other than that it was plain white.
The other dress was red and wasn't as long as the white one. It had no sleeves as well but covered her back and had a conservative collar. It had no designs and reached her knees.
Pakkun looked them both over and said, "The red one looks nice."
Naruto nodded and quickly changed into it. She then grabbed a comb, as Kurenai had called it and began to brush her hair.
"Oh and Kiba told me to tell you that your dad is worried. Iruka told him that you had left early with Kiba. He thinks you're still mad about what he did," Pakkun informed her.
Naruto stopped combing her hair. She had forgiven him for what he had done and hadn't put much thought into what he would feel once she disappeared. She was glad that Iruka was covering for her with her dad but how long would he believe Iruka? She didn't want him to be mad with Iruka because of something she had decided on. And if she told him what she was doing now he wouldn't take things too lightly. He would probably blow up.
"Oh and when I was on my way here I smelled a few more people in the palace. Are there new guests?"
Naruto shrugged, showing she didn't know.
"Well just be prepared."
Naruto nodded in thanks. See you later, she mouthed out and left the room, heading to the dining room.
Her room was located on the second floor just like most of the other rooms but hers was on the west wing. After leaving her room and walking down a corridor she had to head down the large staircase at the center of the house. If she chose to go to her left then she would head into the kitchen while heading to the right would lead her into the spacious living room. If you headed deeper into the first floor you would find the kitchen, which is where she headed.
As she stepped into the kitchen she noticed that there were a lot of things on the counter, more than before. She walked over and tapped Keiko, who was busy placing some food on the bowl laid out on the kitchen island.
"Hey there. How did you sleep?" she asked. Naruto smiled and nodded. She then grabbed one of the bowls and put them on a cart.
"Wait, I can do it. You don't need to help. Why don't you go to the dining room?" Naruto pouted, wanting to help.
"Alright, you can help for a bit. You know, why don't I give you a name for the time being? It's strange to just call you 'hey' or 'the guest'." Keiko said while putting some food in more bowls. Naruto nodded.
"Alright, how about...Iris?" Naruto shook her head.
"How about...Makenna?" Naruto shook her head again. It was a nice name but she didn't like it for her substitute name.
"Hmm...Jenny?" Keiko asked again. Naruto shook her head.
"Don't like it, huh? How about...Kit? I mean…you do remind me a bit of a little kitsune…" Naruto stopped and Keiko turned towards her.
"I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong?" Naruto shook her head and then smiled.
"So is Kit fine?" Naruto nodded.
"Okay, Kit it is. Once you have time you can write down your name for me so I can call you by your given name," Naruto nodded and helped Keiko serve some food and make a couple of drinks. Keiko smiled.
"Lady Kit, I have to warn you that we have guests; the Haruno's and Yamanaka's. I'm warning you because their daughters are a bit…possessive? Yeah, I guess. Both of them were once one of Master Sasuke's fiancées. Of course he never favored either of them but they could get annoying and aggressive towards you because you're here," Naruto nodded. She remembered Sasuke talking about his fiancée and how he didn't want to marry her.
"Alright, go to the dining room now. It's already time and they're going to be wondering what took you so long," Naruto nodded and smiled at Keiko. She left to the dining room and when she got there six new people were sitting at the table. Four where females and two were males. Naruto took the seat she had yesterday, which was next to Shikamaru.
"Well, since you're here we can begin. Keiko, Midori," Itachi called out. When he did Keiko and a raven haired girl came from the kitchen with some dishes and began to serve. After them a pale blonde girl came and brought the drinks. Once they were done serving they left to the kitchen again.
"Excuse me Master Itachi but who is this young lady?" Mrs. Haruno asked in a way which showed disrespect towards Naruto. Naruto turned towards her and looked her over.
The lady had brown hair and gray eyes. Her skin was light and she wore black dress and Naruto thought it was pretty. The lady was thin and somewhat average in height and body figure. She had her hair up and had on a few bands on her fingers. She didn't seem like the type of person she'd like, especially if she was talking like that.
"Yes, I agree Master Itachi," said another lady.
This lady was a blonde with green eyes, and like the other woman wore nice clothes. Unlike the other lady, though, this one had a fuller figure. She wore a blue dress and white gloves. This woman looked a lot like the younger female sitting next to Sasuke. She assumed they were related while the brunette and the pinkette were related.
Unlike the day before, none of the sailors joined them. It was only the new guests and the other people like Hinata, Neji, and Shikamaru who were eating at the table. She wondered why the others weren't here as well.
"She's a guest. She was in a ship wreck nearby and we let her stay for a while."
"Oh, I see. Aren't you worried something may happen?" Mrs. Haruno accused. Naruto tried to look calm but if you looked closely you could tell she was angry.
"No Mrs. Haruno, why would I be?" Itachi asked.
"Oh, it's nothing," she said and continued eating. "So what's your name?"
Naruto turned towards the woman in black and said nothing. "You know you should answer when someone speaks to you."
Naruto turned towards the person who talked to her. She was sitting next to Sasuke and she was looking straight at her. The girl had bubble gum hair and green eyes. Her skin was a peachy color and, like her mother, she wore fine clothes. Her dress was pink and Naruto twitched. Pink had never been her favorite color. She was more of an orange lover.
"She lost her voice so she can't speak," replied Sasuke. Sakura immediately turned her attention to Sasuke and Naruto felt sick. The girl was practically drooling, just like the blonde on the other side of Sasuke.
"Lady Kit?" Naruto turned towards Keiko. She had come out to get the empty pitchers of juice and water to refill them.
"Lady Kit?" Itachi asked. Keiko nodded.
"Hai, Master Itachi. I didn't know what to call her so she let me pick a name for her. She seemed to like Kit so I'll be calling her that," she then bowed and left with the plates. Afterwards the raven haired girl and the pale blonde girl came out with the extra pitchers.
"Well, Lady Kit, let me introduce you to our guests. This is Miss Sakura Haruno," Itachi said, pointing to Sakura. Sakura just nodded and Naruto smiled at her. So that was the Sakura Sasuke had mentioned on the day of the ship wreck, Naruto thought.
"This is Mrs. Haruno and her husband Mr. Haruno," Naruto turned towards them and smiled at both of them.
"This is Mrs. Yamanaka and Mr. Yamanaka," Naruto turned to the other couple and smiled at both of them too.
"This is Miss Ino Yamanaka," Itachi said and Naruto gave her an even faker smile then she did the other guests. Ino didn't even turn to acknowledge her. She just kept making goo-goo eyes at Sasuke and would glare at Sakura between her fawning.
And so breakfast went on. Naruto contained her anger towards the Haruno's and Yamanaka's, especially Sakura and Ino, who were practically hanging off of Sasuke. Everyone talked, especially the Haruno couple and the others present would join in the conversation. Once everyone was done they all left, except for Naruto. She stayed behind to help Keiko.
"You know, you don't have to stay and help. Besides, you've helped me a lot already," Keiko had said when she saw Naruto piling up the dishes and bringing them to the kitchen. Naruto just nodded and continued helping.
She had to spend more time with Sasuke. With Sakura and Ino here, though, it seemed it would be much more difficult. The girls seemed to cling onto him all the time. No wonder he didn't like them. She kept scrubbing the dishes and then rinsed them. The problem would be how to separate them if she couldn't even talk.
"Hey dobe," she turned around and almost dropped the plate.
What?
"Hey I was going to go out. I'm going to go around to see the village and thought you'd like a tour."
"What are you doing?" he asked. Naruto was looking around pretty sure those two leeches weren't too far off.
Naruto put the dish on the dish rack and then began to ogle at Sasuke. She grabbed his arm and she noticed he stiffened. She then moved to his other arm and did the same. She then let go of his arms and crossed her own. She wanted to know where Sakura and Ino were at. She then motioned to their height and turned to it, as if there was someone there.
"If you're talking about Sakura and Ino I told them I'd be busy. They're in their rooms," Sasuke groaned.
"So are you going to come, dobe?" he asked. Naruto glared but still nodded.
"Alright, go change. Your clothes should be in your room by now and I'll go get the carriage ready," Naruto nodded and left to her room. Sasuke called out for Keiko and she came into the kitchen.
"If you see Lady Sakura or Lady Ino and they're looking for me, tell them I'm busy with Hiashi on some business," Keiko nodded.
%%%%
Naruto practically skipped to her room after she left the kitchen. Things were going great! She didn't even have to find him and his proposal to go sight seeing made her all jittery. She had thought it would be impossible to get him alone with both Sakura and Ino at the estate but she was mistaken. And the fact that he wanted to spend his day in her presence made her even happier.
However her happiness was short lived as she saw Sakura knocking on her door. She groaned inwardly and knocked on the wall to get Sakura's attention. Sakura was startled and glared at her. Naruto just smiled politely.
"Hello Miss Kit."
